lR. EDIrOR:
Please allow space in your
honored paper for q short his.
tory and government Of Afri.
ca. (Liberia)
Liberia is q republic on the
west coast of Africa having
IN area Of 1900 square miles,
or about twice that of New
jersey. It Was founded as a
colony of free colords in 1920
by the American Colonization
Society. with the idea that
many of the liberated slaves
in the U. $. would prefer re-
turning TO Africa. OF the
I.C6s,oOO inhabitants only a.
bvut 20.OOO csme from the
I. S., but emig, alton to this
original home Of the negro is
starting up anew. There aro
many schools. churches, and
printing presses. Liberia was
declared an independent state
in iS47, and the following
year was recognized by Great
Brittsn and France. The
government is IN exact model
Of that of the u. S. having q
president q. J. Clleeseman)
vice president, senate, house
Of representatives. etc. The
products ore cotton cOhee
sugar-cane. dye stuffs, cocoa
nuts pine apples bananas, be-
sides numerous other tOp,c
fruits. The export and inn
port trade is considerable. lts
capital Monrovia bears thu
name Of our most noted pres
dents. We are told the grea
emigration is the only resor
for the Negro, for here tn
world is against him.

ABILITY AS A TELEGRAPHER.
Remarkable Feats Performed by the
Late Lieut.. Swift.
From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.

From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
First Lieut.. Swift of the Ninth Cavalry,
United States army, committed suicide at
Fort Robinson, Neb. on Thursday MORN
ing by shooting himself through the heart
He had been post exchange and acting
commissary officer. During the past week
he was relieved of both duties, and an
investigation of his books was in prog
ress. He leaves a wife and large family.
Lieut.. Swifts suicide closes one of the
most remarkable careers in the United
States army. From the position of tele-
graph operator in a small town of Vir-
ginia he became a private, corporal SER
geant and lieutenant in the army in as
many days as there We're promotions:
When Gen. Myer organized the Signal
corps of the army, biography was decided
to be one of the most important branches
of signaling to be taught to the young
men who were to serve at frontier posts
where they were to make tri-daily tele-
graphic reports on the condition of the
weather, and a knowledge of telegraphy
was desirable, If not actually necessary.
Swift had considerable local reputation
as telegrapher, and to secure his SER
vices as an instructor he was enlisted I'm
the corps and promoted from day to day
until he attained the rank of second lieu
tenant. After joining the corps and be-
ginning his work as instructor he de-
voted himself to the study of electricity
and telegraphy, becoming one of the most
skillful operators that the world has ever
known and an author on the subject
There were lot of fancy tricks in send
ing and receiving messages that Swift used
to do. One of them was to take two mes
sages at the same time. He could write
equally WELL and beautifully, with either
hand, and could take a message from one
instrument, writing it out with his left
hand, while he copied another message
with his right He could also send mes
sage with one hand while he received an
other message copying it with the other
hand. In the years that he was instruc-
tor in telegraphy for the signal corps.
Swift never met his match but once That
was when young fellow that looked like
a typical cowboy applied for admission TO
the corps In answer to the question as
to whether he understood anything about
biography, the young fellow answered
that he could receive forty words a min
ute without being very busy. He was sent
into another room which had telegraphic
communication with the main office for
Swift to test his ability. At first Swift
sent the young fellow about twenty words
a minute then thirty When Swift broke
in and asked the young fellow if he was
getting il all right, he answered: 20 k
but hurry up, ! havnt much time to fool
away. Then the pace was increased to
forty words, and, after keeping this uu
for five minutes, the applicant broke in
and said: IF you can't send any faster
than that YOU had better quit"
