"The Little Host. /"

No better vehicle could have been

theatre goers than the Jolly Little

time in this city at the Auditorium on
Tuesday night. April "a, for the reason
that it furnishes that clever artist
with a part for Interpretation that is
in perfect accord with her talent. She
has for years diligently sought a play
that would affaord proper scope for her
talent for comedy and Manager Junius
Howe, without doubt, filed the bill
by the acquisition Of the "Jolly Little
Host" He has gone further and pro-
vided her, irrespective of monetary
considerations with a supporting COM
pany, which, in point of absolute
merit, easily eclipses any crganiza-
ton with which she has been previous
ly supported and has staged the play
with such lavish generosity that mots

Automobile for the Use of the
Chinese Minister.

Mr. WI Ting Fang, the Chinese
Minister, who will go to st. Petersburg
in the early summer as the diplomatic
representative of his country, will
leave the United States in blaze of
glory. His departure will be delayed
until after the automobile meet to be
held here. He Is a devottee of the
horseless carriage, and is making great
preparations for the coming meeting
He is having built in New York,
along lines planned by himself, a gor-
geous automobile. 1t will be of the
phaeton type The body will be paint
ed a brilliant oriental yellow and the
velvet upholstsring will be of the
same hue. 1t will seat four persons.
Mr.. WI has been spending much
time lately learing to manipulate an
automobile. At present he hires a
machine and takes a spin every morn
ing. He is sanguine of accomplishing
great feats in his new chariot, and has
already challenged Nine. Hangelmul-
ler Miss Cassani and Miss Merriam to
race with him.
Mr.. WI is mildly surprised that a
yellow vehicle could arouse so much
interest. Yellow, he says. is very
quiet color in Oriental countries, and,
with white, is considered as a half
mourning combination.
Nine. Hengelmuller has an auto
mobile of Prussian blue, Senator De-
pew one of deep red, while Senator
Wolcott prefers jaunty trap of light
brown, with black trimmings.
Mr.. WI will take his gaudy equip
age to Russia. He says it will be one
of the souvenirs OF his stay in the
Western world which he will cherish

SCHEME TO BUILD ISLAND.
Il. +. Cragin Plans Elevators In New
York Bny TO Attract Grain
Business.

Applications for lease Of about 10
acres of riparian land, lying between
Bedloe and Ellis islands, made to the
riparian board of New Jersey by Ed
ward f. Cragin, formerly of Chicago,
was granted the other day. 1t Is said
to be the purpose of Mr.. Cragin and
Others to construct an island in the
bay and on it to erect grain elevators
In number and capacity to attract to
this port the grain trade of the west
Mr.. Cragin said the railroads could
reach the elevators by trestles from
the New Jersey shore and canal
boats and ocean vessels could find
them easy of access. He is convinced
that within two years elevators can
be built that will reduce the handling
of grain in New York from IA to 2
cents a bushel, and will overcome the
differential in favor of other cities.
The lease is to run for 900 years at a
rental of $1,000 a year for the first
fite years, $500 a year for the next
five years, and $4,000 annually for the
remainder of the term. Approval of
the lease by the United States author
tiles is necessary before the improve
ments, estimated to cost So 900 900, can
be begun.

Booker T. WASHINGTON.

Booker T. Washington is the Moses
Of the African people in the new
world. He has been accepted by his
race and the white people of the north
and south as the man who shall lead a
great branch of the human family out
of the bondage of darkness and ignor-
ance into usefulness and helpfulness.
and he measures up to the require
ments. Mr.. Washington is man who
| places chief stress upon the indisput-
able fact that the black man will rise
as he lifts himself. a rule which applies
not only to the black man, but the
white man as well. In the hands CT
the colored folks of the United States
is the destiny of the negro race. In
the hands of men like Booker Wash
ington there is no question as to what
it will be. There is no question any
way.
The negro has practically passed the
point where he looks to political aid to
determine his future for him, and he
has undertaken to compel station in
social life by making himself indispens-
able in that station. The world will
take the negro, or the white man, or
any other man, for just what he is
worth. If he can make himself of use
TO the world he has command of the
situation pnnlyar
have the colored man educate him
self and train his hand and discipline
his mind and his faculties that he may
bear a share of the countrys real bur-
den. Then a place will be found for
him. A place is found for him now,
but as fast as he is equipped for bet
ter work the work will offer.
There was never superAuity OF
good men in any age or in any country
It is the poorer ones who are always
in excess OF demand Paul Dunbar
gets more money for writing books
han he did for running an elevator in
an Ohio town. But it is because he
does it we'll. And because he does it
we'll nobody stops to inquire about his
color. When the world Is well served
it asks no questions as to the ancestry
OF the servitor. When the negro does
other things better than he hews the
wood and draws the water, the world
will have him do the other things, be-
cause the world is particular to have
good things. Booker Washington has
outlined the path and he is leading his
people in it. His work will win, be-
cause there is no such thing as stop
ping movement that concerns a race
OF 100000 useful and helpful people

Death is Not Discouraged.

In q symposium on longevity, the
Chicago Times-H Herald gives a number
OF articles written by aged people, who
undertake to furnish for public con-
sumption the draught OF longevity
from the fountain of life. Most of
them are in favor of fresh air and
plenty OF exercise. One advocates a
great deal of sleep, and another says
people sleep too much. Judge l.. b.
Otis, who Is 80 years of age, writes that
he takes plenty Of exercise and sleeps
eight or ten hours a day and always
takes an afternoon nap. He drinks
mostly water, but uses coffee and tea
in moderation, and Is almost a teto-
taller, but not quite so. Israel G.
Smith, aged SO years, is moderate
eater and total abstalner. Mrs. Mary
Ann Otis, who is 9S, considers moder-
alton in eating and total abstinence
from cakes and pies as the rult for liv-
ing to be 100 years old
Mr.. Fernando Jones, who is men,
ber of the Hundred Club, and
pledged to live to be a century old
says he never goes to bed the same
day he gets up. He thinks people
sleep too much, and sleeping in the
daytime is especially reprehensible
Mr.. P. NJ. Blodgett, who is 80, reached
that advanced age by voting the Re-
publican ticket and avoiding tobacco
liquor and drugs. Horace T. Yates Is
IS and attributes his longevity to cur
rying horses. A good horse, he says
exudes health-giving vapor from his
skin. Andrew Jackson Galloway Is

Mrs. Mary Beecher is 81 and keeps a

Mrs. Lizzie Aiken,a Baptist mission
ary. attributes her lcng life of 81
years to plenty Of exercise, cheerful
spirit and plain living. DR.. N. S. Da-

Baked Alive to Cure Rheums.

Being purely q scientific treatment il

baking" and the apparatus an oven,
inasmuch as suffering human beings
are placed in it, all except the heads,
and made to endure temperature OF
400 degrees Farenheit.
The first experiment was made in
Bellevue Hospital in the presence OF
many of the most distinguished physi-
clans in the city.
The patient was DR.. John II. Sulli-
van, of No. 209 East Twenty-flfth
street. and the trouble he wishes to be
rid of is acute articular rheumatism.
Many other diseases, including pneu-
monia, bronchitis, gout, athritis,
heart disease, Brights disease, lock-
jaw, hydrophobia and obesity, is this
apparatus. called the "Sprague," after

ribs of cork. asbestos-treated wood
and cotton drilling.
Burners with big smoke lacks sup
ply the heat and there are many tubes
through which fresh superheated air is
drawn in and the perspiration-la laden
air driven out.
The Sprague was set up in, the Stur-
gis Pavilion and DR.. Sullivan readily
agreed to become the first victim. The
burners were lighted The tempera-
ture mounted with great rapidity.
When DR.. Sullivan was experiencing a
temperature of 400 degrees it was
thought sufficient.
Cold wet cloths were kept on DR..
Sullivan's head and he was given a
sip of water every few minutes. After
40 minutes of this baking he was TAX
en- out, rolled in heavy blankets and
laid on a padded table. Fifteen min
utes later muscular nurses gave him a
Swedish massage.
All the physicians, including DR..
Sullivan declared that the experiment
was completely successful and that the
apparatus will revolutionize the treat
ment of certain diseases.
DR.. George L. Kessler, of Brooklyn,
reports a case of patient weighing
21S pounds being reduced to 1870
pounds in Is minutes by the Sprague
He has remained at the later weight

CoIorado's misrepresentation.

1t is to be regretted that such emf
nent statesmen and constitutional law
yers as Representatives Shafroth and
Bell of Colorado should hold to views
SO radically different from those ex-
pressed by Senator Teller.
They certainly do not represent the
convictions of their constituents upon
the question of expansion, for Colorado
people are intelligent and studious
and, above ALL progressive.
Our people have no patience with, or
use for, national public servants who
are only too willing to stultify them in
the eyes of the balance of the world or
to cast slurs upon their patriotism and
intelligence in a pure effort to serve
their political ambitions by advocating
the narrow policy of a party which
they are too cowardly to repudiate and
too wise to join.-Colorado Springs Ga

There is ordinarily no concert of
action among state legislatures. New
ertheless similar conditions produce
similar results; and a comparison of
the more important laws enacted in
the several states makes it possible to
trace certain controlling Influences, and
to ascertain what ideas are uppermost
in the minds OF legislators. The place
which the trust" issue, for example.
holds in the public mind is shown by
the fact that twenty-nine states and

intended to restrict or prohibit trusts,
