by studying in Denver, then going to
New York, which is the Mecca Of all
artists, from New York he went to
Paris and spent two years at the French
capital, where his work was accepted by
Figaro" "L'Art" and other papers,
Returning to New York over a year
ago Mr.. Fnfrock resumed his old work
and while he does not sketch for any
one paper his work is accepted by near
ly all and he also handles the work of
other artists.
Life has published during the past
few months two series of pictures, the
first being some s%ilhouettes of men Of
prominence; the second series, just
completed, is called 'oome Fashions for
men of means and buttons" His pic
lures are labeled ]. X. B. and are watch

ress and the prosecution seems
to be forming a very strong case. One
of the mob has turned states evil
dence. He took the stand Wednesday
and told story that makes the blood
run cold. The lynching of the negro
postmaster Baker was as carefully and
deliberately planned as anything could
be. The mob was not acting under the
heat of sudden and powerful passion.
like that which stirs up a Southern
community after a negro has COM
mitted a crime against a woman.
Bakers only offense was that he had
accepted the postma stership from
President Mckinley. In view of the
race hatred existing in the South, in
South Carolina particularly, the wis
dom of the appointment may be doubt
ed, but that is neither here nor there
when the fearful crime of the defend
ants is considered. 1t appears that the
rinsleader was a man named Stokes.
To make an effectual job of it, he pro-
posed that they set fire to the postoffice
from the outside and shoot Baker when
he was driven forth by the flames This
diabolical scheme was more than car
ried out, for not only Baker but his
wife and children fell victims to the as
sassins' bullets.
Whether a South Carolina jury will
have the courage to deal out justice to
the cowardly murderers is question
that the country is anXiously waiting to
see answered. Public opinion against
lynching negroes is very lax in the
South. There are laws enough on the
subject, but the lynchers care nothing
for them. They set out to glut their
brutal passions, feeling sure of eXemp-

"How many people are aware that

of years-to the very dawn of the hui

cussing THE Antiquity Of Sacred
Cakes Like many other rite or
symbolism which figured in the re-
lgious ceremonies of the heather
world. it was adopted and invested with

authorities date it's origin to the mid

observed in certain parts of Italy and

Many virtues were ascribed to these

Very old is the belief that eating buns
on Good Friday protects the house from

victory over death that followed the
crucifixion. Hence as the great staple

ally took on a sacred character with

lIment to A bra h q n, T ipcoIn ap5

srHE state of Illinois is big enough
and rich enough to build a mon
ument to Abraham Lincoln, and
1t should be ashamed to go begging
from the federal government and from
people of other states any portion of
the money. Any state should be proud
of the opportunity to pay the entire
cost. 1t is very doubtful if the bill
which has just passed the Illinois leg
lslature leaving a part of the expense
to be met by passing around the hat,
is in accord with the best sentiment of
the people of Illinois. The chances are
that this Objectionable feature was in
serted at the behest of some of the
rural members who are cranks on the
subject of economy.
If it comes to that, however, the peo
pie of the country at large, while
amused at Illinois niggardliness, will
gladly go down into their pockets and
help the state out. Only they will want
to be satisfied that the money will be

| n TER ALL the Chicago platform
! was not written at the ten-dol
lar banquet spread last night
The newspaper reporters had written
it in their forecasts that Judge Van
Wyck would be trotted out as the nom
1nee of the ten-dolar people for the
| presidency and that, in his speech he
would foreshadow the platform on which
the ten-dollarites propose to stump the
country.
The press report of the banquet re-
marks that applause followed Judge
Van Wycks references to the trusts,
to the gossip about an alliance with
Great Britain and to the state canals.
Next year the democratic national con-
vention will denounce the trusts. I'm
doubleday the republican party will do
the same. Ii is true-as some of the
foremost republicans in the United
States have lately testified-that the
Mckinley administration has fostered
the trusts. But Mr.. Hanna's aggre-
national convention will denounce them
just the same, as loud as anybody.
PROFESSIONALLY. the next democratic
national convention will go on record
against any English alliance. So, I'M
questionably, will the republican ma
tional convention. And this the two
national conventions will do in the
face Of the fact that the proposed alli-
ance isn't a national issue at all. It
is one of those things which no con-
sidera bic number of Americans is Sc
riously advocating or even consider
ing.
The New York canals furnished
Judge Van Wyck with an item for his
banquet address. The poor, old Erie
canal. 1t is a venerable piece of pub
lie work which has been plundered in
turn and time out of mind, first by
the republicans and then by the DEM
ocrats. 1t is the worst-a bused stream
of water on top of the EARTH and it
has been a sufferer ever since Dewitt
Clnton's time. It has developed more
"reformers' and fattened more rascals
than the same number of gallons that
ever flowed toward the sea Surely,
Judge Van Wyck isn't proposing to
lun for president with an Erie-canal
scow boat for his platform.
In fact, the Van Wyck performance
of last night left the real Hamlet of
the occasion out. Judge Van Wyck
thought, last autumn, that silence re-
speeding silver would elect him gov
ernor. He was woefully disappointed;
his ticket was badly whipped How
foolish he is if he fancies he can go
before the whole nation on the same
omission and cut figure of any account.
The general understanding was that
this tendollar banquet was intended as
an opening of the batteries on Bryan.
The one certain sequel is that Bryan
is a bigger man than ever this morn
ing-he is made bigger by being put
in contrast with those who started out
to belittle him.
