A Record Of Sixty Years.

Sixty years ago S. S. S. was
madc in an ordinary iron pot; fit
teen years ago it was prepared in
large sugar kettles, and nov it re-
quires a great number Of large
steam>tight percolators to supply
the demand, and takes the prod
uct of a large glass furnace to fun -
nish a sufficient number Of bottles
S. S. s. is known all the El>
glish>speaking world, and in many
places where English is not spoken.
These simple facts are worth more
to sick man than a train load of
arguments. II you have had any
blood disease you should take this
great vegetable remedy If there
is pulmonary disease, take it your
self and give it to your children.
If you have ever taken the marcu>
ny and potash mixtures, you should
take S. S. S. tc clear your system
Of the poison.
CAUTloN.-Like every other ar
tlcle OF merit S. S, S. is inflated
aped, and pirated on by all sorts,
shapes and sizes of impecunious
creatures who hope to make mon-
ey on its reputation. Many OF
these vile compounds contain Mer'
cnry, Potash, Arsenic, and othel
polsons, and are positively danger
Gus to use. An imitation is always
a fraud, and fourishes only as i
can rob the public. There is only
one S. S. S. and there is nothing
like it. BE sure to get thC
genuine.

The Australian voting system
is printed in the AMERICAN NEGRO
in order to post the colored voters
who do not understand it thor
oughly. The ticket will be printed
as we have it, and when voting,
you must scratch every name
that you don't want to vote for.
You can not tear or separate either
list of names from the sheet, SO
the readers Of the AMERICAN Ne
GRO should carefully examine the
ticket and find out everything you
can before the election, that you
may vote intelligently and, at the
same time, vote a republican
ticket. Now is the time to prove
what the republican candidates in
tend to do for the negro; SO, col
ored voters, do your part we'll.
The American Negro., 1890-10-25

The principles Of the republican
party are the principles Of right,
freedom and protection. These
principles have stood amid con-
ficts and anarchy. They are the
principles that said to the slave:
You are man, and not brute;
YOU are henceforward and torever
free; you are citizen and neigh
Dor. If you wish to perpetuate
these ennobling principles, do SO
by casting republican ballot and
help to elect the men who are to
carry out these principles equal
rights before the law, protection
to your homes, protection to all Of
our industries. This is republl-
canism first, last, and all the time.

WE have been accused OF run
ming democratic paper by some
"short- sighted, narrow : minded,

set forth the interests of the race
regardless Of what any one else

TO defend and protect the material
interests Of the race and vindicate
their claims and rights as Ameri-
can citizens. And these very zig

German territory in East Africa is
placed already under a most careful sys-
tenn Of administration. Zanzibar is the
headquarters for the imperial commits
sioner, Maj. Wissman, and the main
staff. while each coast station is under
charge Of a commanding officer, respon-
sible for both the political ard military
Management. These officials send an elab-
crate report monthly to headquarters,
while, at the same interval, the commits
sioner visits each station for a personal
inspection. -Four steamers, with whale
boats, gigs and smaller vessels, keep up
a regular service for passengers and
mails between the various stations and
Zanzibar. The military forces comprise
POI officers, 1900 Soudanese troops and
800 Zulu and Arkari soldiers, besides a
body of Somalis for police duty, and are
divided into two corps, for duty respect
lively in the north and south, each in
charge Of a sub-commander. Hospitals
are established at Pangani and Baga-

Meissonier's picture of Napoleon in
1914. only 30 inches by 90, has just been
sold for GA, 900, the highest price ever
given for the work Of a living artist.
The art world naturally exults over this
solid proof Of appreciation; but we won
der whether it really benefits by these
prices ven in q pecuniary sense. We
suspect not. 1t is found in the literary
world that an overpowering demand for
q single book arrests the sale of books in
general, the reservoir of cash for buying
books being in any one year a fixed
quantity. If that economic rule extends
to art, NJ. M~eissonier's phenomenal tri-
umph just prevents thirty-four artists
from receiving 81, 900 apiece. That may
~ good or bad for art-we are not decid-
ing-but it limits sadly the number of
art producers, among whom might be
found, If we may in the teeth of the
market suggest 80 audacious a possibil-
ity, ever NJ. Meissonier's superior. That
the huge price will help NJ. Meissonier
to paint still better is an assumption re-
futed by all art history. -Spectator.

Curious contrasts frequently appear In
the newspapers. There was u case In
point a few days ago which showed how
1t is possible for people in this big city to
starve while not very far away food is
being thrown away because the market
Is hopelessly glutted. A column Of the
newspaper in question was given up to
the description Of the superabundance
of bluefsh and the necessity of getting
nd of thousands Of fish for which there
was no demand In the next column
was a long story of attempts at murder
by strikers who were homeless and hun
CRY. Had they been able to refresh
themselves on the extra blueHsh their at
tempts might have been successful. As
1t was they did not do n great deal of
damage and the fish went to waste

There has been sosmuch throwing lately
at amateur games Of weights which did not
weigh so much as thought that consider
able discussion has taken place concerning
the surest way of preventing such negh-
gence. 1t is well known that weights
whether made of lead or iron will wear
away with use, and If clubs having grounds
of their own would keep one set for COM
petitions closely guarded, to be used only
at games, and let the athletes practice
every day with another set, the coincidence
of an athlete breaking a record and havingit
disallowed on of the fifty-six pound
weight being An ounce light would be un-
usually rare. Both George R. Gray, the
shot putter of the New York Athletic club,
and G. A ]. Queckberner, the hammer
and ffty-six pound weight thrower of the
Brooklyn Heights Athletic club, nave lost
worlds records recently by the weights be-

At certain town in Hungary the other
day, In broad daylight, the treasury OF
the theatre was broken into. Not a
kreuzer was found in the money chest,
but there happened to be a large number
of unsold tickets for a certain night,
which the thieves, either from chagrin
or with an eye to business, appropriated.
The angry manager. 1t Is stated. was
Modified when he discovered that the
thieves had found nothing more valuable
than the tickets. 1t is many a day since
a full house has been seen in the theatre,
and should the thieves realize anything
from their booty he anticipates at all

In front of a machine shop on Wood

ing against the wall as a sign.
Yesterday forenoon a man with a
bundle under his arm was passing, when
he caught sight of the saw and sheered

teamster, who observed the action,
laughed and said:

They Fight, Sell Their Papers and Divide
the Proceeds
What the small boy who haunts City
Hall park does not know about the ins
and outs Of human nature Is hardly
worth knowing at all. He understands
among a great many other valuable
things that the elderly and well to do
citizen generally likes to see a fight, and
afterward, regretting his yielding to
brutal longing for scenes Of gore, is ready
This fact received a practical demonstra-
ton a day or two ago
Two newsboys, dirty, ragged and
shrewd, as is usually the case with the
urchins in the park, stationed themselves
where homeward bound Brooklynites
would be sure to see them. These boys
were not of a size. One was fairly
plump, the other was a weakened bit of
humanity, but he understood his business
thoroughly. They played their farce
neatly and very much in this fashion:
The larger boy bears down upon the
other, cuffs him, uses d~isgraceful Ian
guage and tears his papers. The at
tackled youth drops the papers and re-
turns the compliments verbal and pugi-
listic. There Is a clinch and the small
boy goes down. By this time several
Brooklynites have halted and a little
crowd has collected. Then the battle Is
renewed The youngsters seem to strike
out viciously, but few Of their blows tell.
Again the smaller boy goes down. He
comes up pluckily again and once more
he Is worsted. BE squeezes a tear or
fuua frovn bic AxrAa -4-1xa 49, IL. -
papers and begins to wall.
His stock In trade Is ruined, and he
must go supperless to bed. Two or three
~bystanders put their hands in their
pockets. They nave been entertained in
rather a diMeputable way, and remorse
suggests atonement In the WAY of help
ing the youngster out of his troubles.
In no time his stock is disposed of, and
he isn't asked to make change. A park
policeman, attracted by the sight of the
crowd, is approaching, and the little fell
low, pocketing his gains, slides away.
His antagonist has already disappeared.
There are two scenes in the last act.
Ono Is on the steps of the bridge. Two
or three men are taking q look at the
newspapers they have just bought from
the urchin. The inspection is not all
that might be wished in its results. The
papers are two or three days old. The
other scene is in a cheap restaurant not
far from the park. Two boys who have
but just now been engaged In seeming
ly desperate combat are seated socially
at h same table. "We1l go some pie,
too. Jimmy" remarks the smaller. ~

rou, H.ros. Of . Vim Accident.

A horror was Rverted at Monmouth,
ms., by the prompt and vigorous action
of four brave men The tile works, a
mile east of the city, was the scene. An
explosion Of gas at the foot of the new
shaft, ninety feet deep, ignited the en-
gine house at the top, and the wooden
structures about were soon ablaze. The
shaft was soon filed with smoke, and
the sixteen men imprisoned below were
obliged to seek shelterin the furthermost
recesses Of the mine, where they lay down
on their faces to keep from s~uffocating.
There seemed no means OF escape, and
the cries of the mothers, wives and
daughters were heartrending.
-Four brave men volunteered to go to
their comrades rescue, and were let
down an old disused shaft. Armed with
pickaIes and spades they dug an en-
trance through a six foot wall OF earth,
and one by one the nearly suffocated
men crawled through the small passage
way, over the burning debris, and were
hoisted up. When the last one was res
cued a shout of joy went up from the
many hundreds who were gathered at
the spot. Some Of the men were more
dead than alive when rescued, but all
will recover.-Cor Chicago Inter-Ocean.

Few persons know how excellent a razor
strop is the human hand or arm. If a
razor is in fairly good condition and not
in need of the oil stone it may soon be
whetted to a fine edge on the palm
of the hand or the inner side of
the forearm. The latter Is best if it
Is free of hair. as it frequently is, for it
presents a whetting surface quite as long
as the ordinary razor strop. The fat
portion Of the palm, between the little
finger and the wrist, however, makes an
excellent strop. The process of strop-
ping a razor on the forearm appears a
bit alarming to the locker on, though
there is little danger hat a skillful man
will do himself harm.-New York Sun.

The emperor Of Russia is building a
new yacht, which will be rpore than
twice the size Of the Osborne. She is in

all the latest improvements will be in

emperor for cruising in the Gulf of Fin

This yacht, which is named the Pole
Star, is 1926 feet long and 40 feet in
depth. She is fitted with twin screws,
and Is 30 built that she can easily be con
verted into a cruiser in case of war. The
