The success in preserving dead bodies
that has been achieved by a Naples sur

wonder of European physicians. He
uses a series of special baths, without

for ready dissection by the anatomist;
the second is petrifaction. giving the

The Chicago detective sent to
Newman, Ga, by the aggressive
citizens Of Chicago, to investigate
the burning of Sam Hose, made a
creditable report to a large audi
enee at Bethel A. M. +. Church
recently, II was found that the
alleged outrage upon Mrs. Gran
ford was an absolute falsehood,
also the charge OF deliberate
murder of Crawford was untrue.
Crawford drew revolver on Hose,
who retaliated by throwing an axe
at his would-be murderer and
killed him. This is said to be the
correct version of the affair. The
Atro-Amcrican citizens of Chi
eago, under the supervision OF
Mrs. Ida b. Wells Barnet, has ar.
ranged TO send printed circulars
all over the country setting forth
the real facts in the case. II can
be inferred from this case alone
that Investigations would prove
that nine-tenths OF the lynch.
ings which occur in the South is
without any real cause. but simply
an outburst of passionate race
hate.

The only way
DO White that an Afro
Merchants Amcricannews-
Want Afro paper can exist
American in any city, IS
Dollars7 for the Afro
Americans to

bind themselves together and
throw their trade to the mer-
chants who advertise with their
organ. We appeal to the sober
thinking Afro Americans to shun
business places who fail to accord
recognition to their organ by adj
vertising in il. With a few excep-
tions the merchants advertise
with the white weekly's. especi-
ally those who represent the
specific nationalities. and there is
no reason why We should not re-
cetve the same recognition. One
place we make especial mention
OF is that of K. S. Goodfellow's 5,
who failed TO accord even cour-
teous treatment to our Advertising
agent, because OF his nationality.
The Afro-Americans should not
even darken the door of that es-
Enlistment, because he will ac-
cord the same treatment TO the
colored customer, as he did to our
agent. We must showthe people
that we mean business in our effort
to obtain equity and justice in
every walk of life. Our organ
must keep pace with other organs,
and the only way that we can sue
coed, is TO prove to the merchants
OF the Twin.Cities that we will
not spend our money with those
who do not cater to us. And the
only way that can be done is
the medium OF our press,
by advertising Inasmuch as we
have not business establishments
sufficient to supply our demands,
We can prove our our loyaly to
one another by eyading establish
mcnts who fail to recognize our
organ. The wants of Afro
American dollars can be felt If we
add strength to our dcmonstra-
tian. Through hrmness of OK
and we can certainly
find out as to whether the white
merchants want our our dollars
by withholding our trade from
those whom we know is not par
ticular about our money. We
speak this because we are in the
position to know the general feel
ing OF white merchants toward
colorcd customers, and we know
no no other way that we can es.
tablish the fact that Afro-Ameri-
can dollars is appreciated but
through the willingness of our
white merchants TO advertise in
our organ.

Once upon time there was Married
Couple possessed OF two boys haineu Jo-

him to play with other Boys for FEAR tnat
he would soil Himself and learn to be rude

So they kept Him in the House and his
Mother read to him about Little Rollo VINO

Little Joseph was kept away from the
Public Schools and had TO Play Games in

He learned Tatting and the Herringbone
Stitch. When he was ten years of age he
could play Chop Sticks on the Piano, his
Ears were Translucent and his Front
Teeth showed like those of a Gray Squirrel
The other Boys used TO make Faces at
him over the Back Fence and call him

In Due Time he went to College, where
he proyed to be Lobster. The Boys held
him under the Pump the first Night. When

ence a large Measure of Liberty. that he
might become acquainted with the Snares

was Young and thus be prepared to side
step the Pitfalls when he was Older. They
sent him to the Public Schools. They al
lowed him to roam at large with other
Kids and stay out at Nights. They kept
Liquor on the Sideboard.
Clarence stood in with the Toughest

with two on bases, he captured hard hit

luck was with the Windy City boys

good showing and while he was hit hard
he did not become ratified. Quinn, Mertes,
and Wolverton found weighing easy and
touched him up for three bagger each,
while Wolrerton, Callahan, and Donohue
found him for tvo-baggers- Eleven hits
in all were made off Weyhing's twirling.
Aside from Mertes' great work at centre

A Baby Hercules.
(From the philadelphia Record !

(FroIn the PmIadeIphla Record.)
There is a physician in West Philadel-
phia who has son one year old, and this
baby is probably the strongest human be-
ing for its age and weight in the world
Its father will hold cane in his two
hands, and the baby, grasping it, will
draw itself up to its chin three times
That is but one of its numerous feats OF
strength The physician says that his
boys unusual muscular development is due
10 a daily massage treatment. Every
morning he lays the little fellow, naked,
on q blanket, and kneads his muscles for
thirty minutes Once month he weighs
the baby and measures its calves, chest,
arms, etc. The monthly increase OF weight
and girth are remarkable. The baby has
never had shoes or stockings ON its feet
or hat on its head, and in the summer
IL wears only little sleeveless dress that
GENES to Its knees. 1t gets a cold bath
every morning. IF nothing goes wrong, .
the physician often declares, this child
will be one of the strongest men the world
has ever seen. He will never get bald
and he will never lose tooth. As for his
muscles with massage and a course of ex
ercise that | have laid out, they will be
big and supple all over his body All his
flesh will be. when tense, as hard as steel
and when relaxed as soft as the flesh of a
young girl
