The lot of the Afro-Americans is a
tough one at best. Why, he cannot?
even attempt to do what white men do
every day, without paying the penalty
for his folly. Every one knows that
check raising has been a pleasant pas
time forj white men ever since checks
have been in use. They sometimes get
caught, but they generally get away
with the cash first. The other day,
Thomas Clark, an Afro-American farm
hand near Fargo, N. D., received a
check for ?8.75, which he raised to
$78.75. His first attempt to cash it
created suspicion and Clark became
alarmed. He erased his efforts at for
gery and had the check cashed for the
original amount. He was arrested,
pleaded guilty and drew a year in the
state prison for his practice with the
pen and ink. You see, he lacked nerve,
or, it was probably thought that $78.75
was too much'money for a black farm
hand to have at one time. Now a
white/ man would have raised the
check ot $7,008.75, walked boldly to the
bank and got the money and then went
off on a summer's vacation. He would
have had a good time for a year or so
and then when he was caughtif be

he would have gotten him out of the
scrape. It was different with Clark.
He didn't get anything but a year in
the pen.
There is a sort of fairy story that
has been going the rounds of the daily
papers this week in which it is stated
that Mary. Wisdom has sued Silas A.
Snell, a farmer of Orleans county, N.
Y., for $2,200, claiming that amount is
due her for her services during the
last twenty-two years. She claims that
she was brought north from Kentucky
many years ago as a slave and did not
know until recently that she was freed
by the Lincoln proclamation. Evident
ly there is something wrong about this
or Mary's surnameso far as her ini
telligence is concerned is a great mis
nomer.
Some other languages have "had it
on" the English for long words but I
guess we are "in it" somewhat now.
Arkansas had a record day for legal
executions last Friday, when six men,
four Afro-Americans and two white,
were hanged. All were charged with
murder.

they found that there was over $700. A
secret service officer was then sent to
establish the facts as to the matter, and
gravely reported that the negro's story
was a correct one, even to the claim that
his wife was extravagant.
On last Wednesday an elderly German
woman came to the department from
Baltimore in great distress. She had
charred remnants of some money which
was, she said, the savings of forty years.
She thought that there was at least $500
in the original roll. On the evening be
fore, as she knelt at her devotions a
lamp in the room adjoining had toppled
over and set Are to a dress skirt in which
she had the monejr. Part of the debrfa
had been lost before she remembered
that the money was in the burned skirt.
She had collected what had remained.
Sympathetic officials took her through the
treasury building to the room of the ex
perts in the basement. There she seat
ed herself while half a dozen experts
worked on the money. She rocked to
and fro and cried and sighed during the
greater part of three hours While the
women worked and at intervals tiled "to
calm her. By noon she had been given
over $300 of the amount, and sent back
to Baltimore with the assurance that if
she could secure the rest of the debris
more of the money might be restored to
her.

This is the title of an Harvesting vol

is Hon. Mifflin Wistar rffbhs, of this
city. Judge Gibbs is 1M* only the
most prominent representatives of his
race in the South. He is an entertain
ing writer, a finished scholar and a
man of varied experience. He is self
made, full of energy and has been
pushing himself forward for the past
half century. He has filled several
posts of distinction, and all.creditably.
He was at one time judge of the police
court of this city, afterward register
of United States lands, receiver of
public monies for the United States,
and recently United States consul to
Madagascar. His admirable work,
"Shadow and Light," consists of an
autobiography with reminiscences of
the last and present century. Th.e in
troduction was written by Prof. Book
er T. Washington, in which a high
compliment is i paid to Judge Gibbs.
"It is seldom," says Prof. Washington,
"that one man, even if he has lived
as, lon^ as Judge, M, \y/. Cjibbs, is
able to record his impressipns^ljf'IjiS'
many-widely separated parts of the
earth's surface as Judge Gibbs can, or
to recall personal experiences in so
many important occurrences." The
volume is embellished with many por

Up Prom Slavery. By Booker T. Wash
ington. $1.50. New York: Doubleday
Page & Co.
"Up From Slavery" by Prof. Booker T.
Washington is a remarkable volume by a
remarkable man. Autobiographical writing
is a dangerous enterprise at best, and should
never be undertaken except by the great
men of earth. That Prof. Washington be
longs to the class of great men of our time,
requires neither testimony nor proof, for, it
is one of the accepted facts.
In writing of the place and date of his
birth he says: "I was born on a planta
tion in Franklin County, Virginia. I am
not quite sure of the exact date of my
birth, but at any rate I suspect I must have
been born somewhere and at sometime."
There is conscious humor in this sentence,
a spice of wit, and the delicate sarcasm of
a great man, protesting against the insti
tution of slaverythat institution which
had made it Impossible, either for himself
or Frederick Douglass to know the exact day
of birth.
Later on he says that he does not know
who his father wasbut that he knew that
he was a white man.
'"My life had it% beginning in the midst
of the most miserable, desolate, and dis
couraging surroundings" "i

born in a typical lag cabin, about fourteen
by sixteen feet square. In this cabin-I
lived with my mother and a brother and
sister 'till after the- Civil War, when we
were all declared free."
An'.account of his boyhood daysthe
struggle of his mother *nd elder brother
for the common necessities of life is. nar
rated in a simple manner which forms the
real charm of Mr. Washington's literary
style. This volume- however possesses a
charm higher than that of any style, for
it portrays the kaleidoscopic changes in the
upward toiling career of a youth, who
started at an early age on a tramp to the
Hampton- Industrial Institute, in search
of an education with boundless hope and
almost infinite .patience as ins only assets.
On this nnknown voyage over hill and dale
the youthful enthusiast finally reached a
city called Richmond, where he arrived
hungry, friendless and penniless. He says:
"I must have walked the streets till after
midnight. At last I became so exhausted
that I could walk no longer. I was tired,
I was hungry, was every thing but dis
i couraged. Just about the time that I
reached extreme physical exhaustion, I
came upon a portion of a street where the
board side walk was considerably elevated.
I waited for a few minutes till I was sure
no passers-by could see me, and then crept
under the sidewalk and lay for the night
upon the ground." Mr. Washington then re
lates that the next day he went down to
the river and obtained work from the
captain of a ship, who was unloading a
cargo of pig iron that his work so pleased
the captain that he continued to work for1
him a number of days, sleeping under the
sidewalk every night, economizing in order
to save money to help him reach Hampton.
He says that many years afterwards he
was tendered a public reception by the
citizens of Richmond in a church, not far
from the spot where he had slept upon the
ground. That he has also at the invitation
of friends been a guest in a Saratoga hotel,
where he was formerly employed as a wait
er.
He writes a very entertaining chapter on
the "Reconstruction Period," and discusses
in a very comprehensive and practical man
ner the race problem at the South. It is
however, in writing of himself and of his
early struggles that we find Mr. Washing
ton at his best, and note distinctly that
patience under adversity, untiring industry
and optimism of a rarely encountered char
acter, are the qualities which have made
possible the success which has attended the
efforts of the man whom Walter Page, edi
tor of the "World's Work" pronounces, "the
most useful man in the Republic."
Up from Slavery has had a large sale
not only in this country but all over the
world. The work has been translated into
Spanish, German, French Italian, Arabic,
Hindustani and editions are being prepared
in many other languages.
The story of the life of the little slave
boy who at hte age of forty has become
the recognized leader of 10.000,000 of Afro
American people is a thrilling and inspir
ing .narrative although written in simple,
modest style. It truly reveals the unas
suming honest worth of one of the greatest
men the world has ever known.

New-born Cuba" by Franklin
Matthews is one of the very interesting
volumes dealing with conditions in "The
pearl of the Antilles" since the American
occupation, which has been given to the
public.
So much has been written about the
peoples, climate and resources of tlie
island that it is not within the
rangte 8
of
-a^y.,*ne ligh I
the^er^rr&ctrons: -'..It is therefore with' ab*
sbrbing interest that *we read the.story
of the rehabilitation of the island under
American auspices as told by Mr. Mat
thews. says: "Not less important
than cleaning the streets, purifying the
harbor and sewers, protecting the water
supply, and putting all public works in
proper order in Havana, was the task of
cleaning the city from the inside, the
work? of purifying the buildings of every
^rade in town. Inside thousands of dwell
ings were "black holes" in a frightful con
dition. The walls of thousands of build
ings were the abiding places of germs of
yellow fever and other infectious dis
eases."
Mr. Matthews then tells of the scientific
manner in which the sanitation of the
city was accomplished under Major Jno.
G. Davis, a Chicago physician of larg
practice and wide reputation, and that
not one single house in the city of Havana
escaped the inspection of his corps ot
physicians or failed to conform with the
requirements of Major Davis. "Large
qantitles of quicklime, and a solution of
chloride of lime were used. Then came
coats of paint or whitewash."
Then followed a vanishing death rate,
until Havana today is practically free
from its former scourge of yellow fever.
The next wotk of great importance per
formed by the American authorities was
he installation f an honest customs serv
ice in Cuba and the abolition of bribery
and blackmail.
The work of feeding thousands of starv
ing people by the military authorities is
dwelt upon by the author, who shows that
this was an essential part of the work of
reconstruction and that had it not been
done, the sanitation of the large cities
would have been incomplete *and ineffec
tive.
The reconstruction of Cuba Dy the peo-'
pie of the United States is unique and
interesting as an example of the human
ity of our people. Cuba has been taught
many lessons of vital importance tc her
welfare and it remains to be seen wheth
er she will profit by them, or sink back
into the dark ways of the old Spanish
regime. If he does, she will not remain
an independent nationality long.
On the 20th of this present month the
ceremony of turning over the Cuban
government to the Cuban people took
place. The stars and stripes came down
and the ensign of the Cuban Republic was

In the Forest, By Maximilian Foster.
$1-50. Ne York: Doubleday, Page &
Co. "In the Forest" is a contribution to
the literature of our country of positive
value. This volume contains stories of
wood-life, wherein the stately deer, the
cunning coyote, the fierce and rugged
bruin spea from the heart of the wilds,
not in the language of men, but in th
virile and Significant speech of nature
"in her natural and primitive conditions."
Mr. Foster has made a distinct depart

life, and unlike Kipling's "Jungle Stor-
ies," has animals simply act in accord
ance wijth the imperious law of nature,
and do not talk. $
He plays upon your sympathies by elo
quent powers of description' and narra
tion, and dn the story of "Legs," the
coyote transported from his western hab
itat to the east to furnish in the chase
amusement and excitement to men and
dogs, one's sympathy goes out spontane
ously to this poor beast, struggling at
times against hunger and trusting to his
speed and cunning to save himself from
being torn to pieces by the murderous
pack of hounds at his heels. Time after
time he eluded his tormentors, but his
inevitable finish had to arrive, and when
it did we find ourselves wishing him. bet

and fixed with a fringe of bayonet prongs

about the significance of language, which
so far as we know is entirely original, and
which our opinion, lays the foundation
for a new grammar of great simplicity

Logically speaking we have only three
classes of words, nouns, verbs and con

author then says that the entire phe

language is the result of experience with
the material world, "nouns represent

Publishing Co., 1134 Real Estate Build
ing, Philadelphia.
No one who reads this admirable book
can be surprised that so many eminent
men and women have given their hearty
commendations and personal influence to
bring the series of which this book is one
to the general attention of the public.
In this Self and Sex series, the books to
boys and men are written by Sylvanus
Stall, D. D., editpr of the Lutheran Ob
server, and those to girls and women,
by Mrs. Mary Wood-Allen, M. D., the
National Superintendent of the Purity
Department of the Women's Christian
Temperance Union. These writings merit
all that has been said in their praise by
the educational, medical, religious and
secular press throughout the country, and
deserve a place in every home.
This book addressed to young women
is divided into three parts. The value of
the body and its hygiene, the special
physiology and laws of maturity, and the
third wisely and judiciously treats of
love, engagements and marriage. The
author brings to her task the training of
a physician, the sympathies of a mother,
and the tact of a wise and judicious writ
er. W should be glad if everv young
woman in our whole land might read this
book and profit by it. It will equip
young women to meet the dangers and
difficulties which lie before them in un
tried experiences, make them intelligent
and receptive to life's deeper meanings
and higher possibilities. It is a worthy
companion volume to Dr. Stall's book,
"What a Young Man Ought to Know,"
issued by the same company.

HAWAIIAN AMERICA
Hawaiian America. Something of Its
History, Resources and Prospects. By Cas
par Whitney, pp. 355. $2.50. New York
and London Harper Brothers.
Mr. Caspar Whitney has written in ""Ha-
waiian America" a volume full of instruc
tion and Interest. The style employed by
Mr. Whitney is1
the very essence of high
class literature. His description of Ha
waiian scenery, peoples, social and indus
trial basis and prospects, not only demon
strates his mastery over the accepted--liter
ary models, but undoubtedly disclose the
same keen and penetrating" powers of ob
servation, that maate his "On Snow Shoes
to the Barren Grounds*' so deservedly pop
ular.
In writing of the ieculiar charm of the
Hawaiian Islands he says, 'that it lies in
their physical characteristicsthe sugg*
tion of strength and gentleness given by
their broken peaks and slumbering volca
noes, and the velvety verdure that tempts
you to the hills, and begets an Impulse to
plunge your nose deep down in the grass, if
your breast conceals any nature-loving relics
of savagery.
'"Tis well we approach this land from
the sea, for so do we have opportunity to
consider its attractions and, well, too, that
our port of entry is Honolulu, for It^is
on the Island of Oahu, the lovliest of all
the group. Oahu leaves the impression of
its individuality upon you. The wild, weird
splendor of the windward coast, that cul
minates in the Palia different, more fas
cinating, scenic beaufrr from any you ever
beheld. A sense of physical witchery, as
under the insinuating influence of a rare
vintage steals through your veins as the
steamer passes Koko Point and rounding the
Diamond Head, reveals the capital of the
archipelago."
