palace while the corpses Of all those who
had been shot down by his soldiers in
1S4S were carried past him to the ceme-
terry; while his grandfather, old Emperor
William, then Prince of Prussia, was
compelled by these same Berliners to flee
for his life to England. =
IN conclusion it may be we'll to call
attention to the extraordinary feats in
the way Of burrowing that have been
achieved during the present century. In
England alone there are exclusive of the
various subways in London, no less than
seventy tunnels considerably over mile
In length. The Alpine Mont Gents tunnel
Is seven and a half miles in length; the
Arlberg Is little over six miles long,
while the St. Gothard tunnel Is nine and
half miles in length. These tunnels,
however, sink into insignif1cance when
compared with the Croton tunnel from
the CrotOn dam to the reservoir of New
York. The distance is nearly thirty-four
miles, and nearly the whole of it is tun-
nelled through rock. Probably five thou
sand tunnels of Importance have been
constructed during the last hundred years,
and there are at the present moment
three enterprises of this kind superior
In magnitude to all the rest, which will
probably have been completed before the
first quarter of the next century is ended,
namely, the tunnel beneath the .Simplon.
which has just been comnenced; the tun-
mel between England and France which
has likewise been begun, and the subway
seventy miles long, which is so connect
England with Ireland. and for which the
plans have already, been drawn up. The
only hope to be expressed is that the bur-
row1ngs of the nineteenth century may
prove as splendidly constructed and as
lasting as those of two Thousand, three
thousand AID five thousand years aSn-

the viii races have the divine right to
rule the black racer, these good brethren
say that the Afro-American must be
patient and Christianity will settle the
problem.
There are three notable exceptions to
the gel eral trend of the articles of the
symposium one by J. W. E. Bowen, D.
D., Phi. D., one by Booker T. Washing
ton and one by Rev. W. H. Brooks, D. D.
The best sentence in all the articles is
the last in Rev. Brooks "Be never on the
offensive but when driven the las:
ditch then-neve7 die Alone"
That ought to be the key note for al
the race and a vigorous application of it
would soon settle the lynchings in the
south.
Wien the white mob comes to take
the Afro American, let him sea t, it. il
possible, that one or two members o
the mob accompany him on his long
journey; if the lynctee is unable to do
this before he is murdered, his relatives
and friends should sec to it that one of
the moo forfeits his life. can eye for an
eye and tooth for a b" seys the bid
bic and this Injunction should be carrie
out. When it became to be an establish
ed fact that the vengeance of the Afro
American was memorable that when a
blat kman's life was taken, whiteman's
life would be taken, the hellish Southern
brutes would stop their cowardly ly1 Gu

reformed. The horrors of them depicted by
George w. Cable years ago instead of growing
better, have grown worse. The indiscriminate
herding of males and females and juveniles
in the convict camps of the South constitutes
one of the most glazing scandals in the ad-
ministration of Justice in the republic Sepa-
rate the males from the females; give the
juveniles asylums OF their own and the OPP
portunity to reforun. The other states of the
Union do it. why can't the South? It has
wealth enough it needs only inclination. We
appeal to it's inclination. AS a. matter of
fact there must be no less than 100000 Afro
Americans in the South who are held in in
voluntary service contrary to the thirteenth
amendment to the Constitution: of the. United

safeguard of the state. The taxation for
wholly inadequate to obliterate the abnormal
illfteracy of those states, due in large part
to the maintenance of separate schools for
the two races, necessitating a double expen.
the public domain of such states as have
public lands be devoted to school purposes.
g.. We feel that a more general distr-
button of the Afro American race throughout
the states OF the Union and the new terri
tories of the republic, in order to reduce the
congested population Of the Southern states,
would do much to simplify the race problem
in those states and we urge that such dis
tr7bution be encouraged in all reasonable
way. We have no sympathy whatever with
race leave the United States for foreign coun M
tries. We shall remain here and fight out
our destiny in the land of our fathers.
Z: We favor both higher and Industrial edu-
cation and we are grateful at the splendid
growth of the love of education manifested
by the eagerness with which our people filI
all avenues of education open to them.
8. We are grati6ed at the development of
business enterprises of all sorts among us
and we wish to encourage all such as being
among the strongest levers inthe up1ift Of the
race. We submit our cause to the fair-mind-
nv la NH on1r7 Of fhn AZ

behalf.

ABYss1N1A's SUSPENSION BRIDGE. Il

Many and strange were the things seen
by the French expedition Bonvalot de
Borchamps in Africa, but nothing strang-
er THAI the bridge Of vines over the Oma
river in Abyssinia. which Is pictured in
"L'Illustration' from photograph taken
by a member Ct the party.
In most parts of Africa bridges are un-
dreamed Of; big rivers are crossed by
RATS and little ones forded. But in the
mountains of Abyssinia the torrents that
pour down to join the Nile are not so
lightly stemmed. Over one of these the
Abyssinians, who have something like a
settled country and stable government,
have thrown the bridge.
Unlike the Brooklyn bridge or the sus-
pension bridge at Niagara, theJr Abyssin-
ian engineers had no cables, no scientific
bands Of steel. Instead they had only ma
lures growth with which To withstand
natures force. But ingenuity succeeded
in the absence of other resource.
It is built upon the Suspension plan.

It Is Four Feet Across an


The smallest piece Of real estate in
New York is an oddly-shaped corner lot,
somewhat smaller than a double page
Of the Sunday World.
This limited estate Is at the northwest
corner of Fourteenth street and Irving
place. 1t occupies a curious little niche
In the corner property and has a frontage
Of a few inches on both Of these ircpor-
tant streets. Taxes are regularly paid
on it and the high rent which its owner
demands for it has been paid regularly
for years. 49, 49,.
The property is so small that man Of
ordinary height can easily stand with a
foot either of it's boundaries. Despite
its diminutive size it. has been used for
several purposes. A news stand was once
located there and attracted customers
from both streets. In using the lot even
for this purpose, however, It was found
necessary to occupy part Of the sidewalk
in front
The entire estate was taken UP with but
two or three piles Of folded newspapers.

hung from big cables made of twisted
creepers; from these depend the uprights
bearing the floor supports. The roadway
y very narrow, for no one ever travels
across the hills except with caravans of
porters bearing trade goods.
The skill With which the bridge Is built
is something marvellous.
The, Bonvalot. de Bonchamps party set
out from Djibouti, on the Red sea, and
travelled across the Son:ali desert and the
Abyssinian hills to join Marchand at
Fashoda, which he reached from the west
coast.
Thus they planned to throw strip of
Frenc soil right across the Dark Con-
tinent.
It reached the head waters of the So
bat and went boating merrily down the
river; but meanwhile the British gun
boats reached the junction of the Sobat
with the White Nile and the expedition
is now toiling back to Djibouti.
The road going out is a good deal
longer than it was going in.

own to hand a customer a paper.
At another time peanut stand was
set up and the entire property was taken
ur. with the roasting apparatus, and If a
peanut was knocked off the stand it fell
on the next neighbors property.

which occupies the adjoining site. but

that his property is not on the market.
