One by one the acts which are claimed

One by one the acts which are claimed
to be strictly characteristic of Colored
people .are found to not be so. One of
the things that the Colored man got
credit for always, was chicken stealing.
During the days of slavery when the
white masters did not furnish sufficient
food for their slaves, but compelled
them to steal from their neighbors, it
was generally understood that all the
chickens stolen were stolen by Colored
people. In fact, it was generally be-
ieved that it was an impossibility fora
Colored person to resist the temptation

The Steel Age.

In the history of the world various
pe RODS have been designated as the
Golden Age, the Silver Age, the Bronze
Age the Iron Age and so on. The first
was long. long time ago, the age of the
early poets, the age of demi- gods and
heroes. The Bronze Age was the age
when man made his implements of hus-
bandry and his weapons for the chase
from bronze. The Iron Age embraces
the portion of time when that most USE
full of all metals came into use-and
caused a revolution in the mechanic
arts. The present day may be fifty
characterized as the Age of Steel, it
having largely supplanted lion in a
thousand ways. Our civilization would
be impossible without it-tor our rail-
roads would not exist without steel.
1.-THE Burlington" belongs to the pres
ent age, it's ZOO miles of rails being all
steel, and it's equipment, speed, and
safety unrivalled. For tickets by this

St. James A. M. E., Church.

lola in the Memphis Free Speech
speaks of st. Paul as follows
They have three nice churches, the
A. M. E.. Baptist and Catholic. This is
the first city ever visited where the A.
M. E. church is the aristocratic one, but
1t eminently deserves to be by reason of
the excellence of its choir, and sermons
and the intelligence of it's congregation.
Fifteenth street Presbyterian Church,
Washington City; Mound street Baptist
Church, CINCINNATI; nor St. Thorn as
Episcopal Church, Chicago; can boast
of finer congregations.
Rev. J. M. Henderson, pastor years
is said to be one of the ablest ministers
in the Northwest, that his sermons are
earnest, logical, eloquent expos;tions of
Bible truths and his people idolize him.
He is a young man of 80 with nothing
specifically attractive, being of slight
built and the last man in crowd you
would pick out as minister, beca use of
his utter lack of the custo mary minis
terial carriage, or dress Not having
heard of him or lowing which was he
you would hardly see him, until he be-
gins to speak; then the eloquence of the
orator, the Observation-Disclosures of the
man arrest and mold the attention and
matter does involuntary homage to
mind. The APPEAL calls him the "little
giant" of the West.
Sabbath evening Miss Halle @. Brown
will occupy the time allotted to the SER
mon in discussing the work of education
at the south. Let all come. The Dollar
Mony is rolling in. Rev. Henderson
will preach in the morning.

necessarily higher prices our farmers

under the heading of commodities

culture" the treasury department. has
classed over forty-seven per cent of all

in thk face of these incontrovertable

the effrontery to reiterate the fallacy
that the farmers interests would be
best promoted by free foreign trade.

Now, Isn't This Nice?

The APPEAL is the foremost journal of
the race in it's push for rare news of race
doings, and a monument to the enter
prise of the Adams Bros. Some oftheir
methods partake of those of the daily

and The APPEAL had it in full in it's next
morning issue. 1t is published at St.
Paul, Minneapolis, Chicago, Louisville
and st. Louis, and is said to be the only
real money-making journal of the race.
Mr.. J. Q. Adams, it's head and Cyrus his
brother are solid buiness men from
Louisville. Mr.. J. @. once enjoyed the
reputation of being the handsomest
Colored man in America, and has seen
more years than he cares to tell definitely
being still an unmarried man. He is an
interchangeable worker, of splendid ply
sique. To him more than any other one
person are the citizens and visitors to
the N. E. A. indebted for the splendid
banquet of the 10th ult.-St. Paul letter
of "Iola" in Memphis Free Speech.

The comedy season at the Bijou Opera
House has been the most successful ever
inaugurated at this popular resort. It

TARIFF FACTS FOR FARMERS

Just now the farmer is singled out
from the great body polite for the es-
pecial solicitude of the free trade attor-
neys. Ignoring the fact that policy
which makes possible the creation of
national wealth from other wise worth
less materials, must inure to the public
advantage, even though but a portion of
the population be engaged in the pro-
cess of transformation, the indefatigable
free-trade advocate seeks to have the
farmer believe that it is not he but the
manufacturer alone who is advantaged
by the protection of domestic industries
This is no nearer true than would be
the contention that the summer rain
can bring no benefit to the manufacturer
or the professional man because they
have no growing crops to be invigorated;
which IS to deny that what brings wealth
community is a public advantage.
But as matter of fact the business of
the farmer by no means so independ-
ent of foreign competition as his whilom
free-trade friends would have him be-
lieve. American agriculture is quite as
much in need of direct protection as the
majority of American manufacturing IN
dustries; and it is for this reason that
the farmers interests were kept so con-
stantly in view in the preparation of
both the existing and the proposed tariff
legislation. More than one-sixth of the
$745, l3l 1852 worth of imports during the
fiscal year 1889 was made up from COM
modities coming in immediate COMPETE
ton with the products Of American
farms, viz:

a Successful Young Man.

The subject of this sketch Mr.. Henry
Clay Hopewell son of Charles and
Catherine Hopewell, was born in Lex
ington, KY, Jan. 5, 1857 and is conse-
quently SO years of age. His life has
been rather eventful one. Uplo 1878
his life was that of boys of that day, at
tending school etc. His first move for
himself was made among race horse
men with which the "Blue Grass' re-
gion of Kentucky abounds.
He was quite successful in the racing
circuits and finally landed in the great
city of Chicago. Like every one who
visits the big city by the lake and par
takes of the water he became infatuated
with the place and went to work at
hotel. He worked there about one year
and in 1885 following the Injunction of
Horace Greedy he went west TO St. Paul.
After following different occupations for
about two years he saw there was no
place where young men could pass their
evenings pleasantly so he opened first
class pool and billiard hail at 50 Fl 9Th
street. The business prospered for
about two years and then he took in as
partner Mr.. J. H. Cunningham who
had opened saloon next door. The
partnership lasted about four months
when it was dissolved by mutual con-
sent. Mr.. Hopewell then moved to
Minneapolis which presented better
field as there was no house of amuse--
ment of any kind run by Colored men
in that city.
He secured Magnificent site at No.
2l8 Washington avenue South and fitted
up pool and billiard hall. His success
was such that on the third day of July
he added bar to his place and now has
one of the most cosy and attractive
places the city can boast Of He has
two billisrd tables and unique bar and
a counter of solid mahogany. His bar
fixtures are magnificent and his wines,
liquors and cigars are of the choicest
brands. He has made host of friends
since his advent in the "FIour City"
He keeps the best order in his place
which has become to be the most popu-
lar resort in the city. The manager is
the we'll known and capable Cassius
Scott, the entertainer is the handsome
and afable John Hackley and with
Hope" as the boys Familiarity call him
as proprietor the personelle ofthe house
cannot be excelled anywhere.

The press is flooded with talk about the much abused farmer, exaggerating his grievances, and making him out to be g maltreated citizen. But is this true? Will the farmers allow such gross misrepre. sentatlon and general abnse? Still, il there is any truth in such statements, we can only look to and blame ourselves, and it only is within ourselves that we can hope for remedy. We may say, we are the people, and if we but stand as men and demand what is right and just, we shall receive the same recogni ion accorded to those in other pursuits. If this be so, then let us show. by word and deed, that we are not abused and that we can stand as one man, united, and correct abuse. if such there be. Educate our sons to con- sider farming as the most honorable occu- patton, for there is none more so. Make the work of the farm less drudge, and put more thought and business ideas into it. Then join the grange and know what others are doing. Become acquainted with your neighbors, and work together for the common good of all. And in all things strive to exert, to tbe utmost, all the powers and abilities bestnwed by the great Master of the nniverse.- George s. Ayer d,a ~. E. Homestead.

 Morning Gazette, Sedalia, Mo, July 3d: ssSome time ago the Gazette men. tioned the fact that Miss Orra Parker, then teacher in the Broadway schools, and young lady of rare attainments in the geological and botanical fields of sci ence, had discovered coral of great rarity and interest to geologists. At that time the coral had not been identified and class flied, but it was taken in charge by Pro. lessor R. A. Blair, member of the state board of geology, who yesterday announc- ed that the coral had proven to be Favo- sites al Penensis, a true Devonian fossil, much use in determining the structure of the earth's surface in this country. The coral was found by the young lady on oi 6 of her numerous excursions with her class while she was teacher in the public schools. She had gained reputation as a scientist of no small extent. Her find in this respect has been of good deal of benefit to science"
