BEFORE THE KING.

The brilliant success of the Will
liams and Walker combination in
England has been further accentuated
in their unusual reception by King
Edward, at whose royal command
they were summoned to give one of
their great performances at Windsor
Castle. This they did with wonderful
success on the Goth instant, before
their Majesties, the King and Queen,
and large encourage of distinguished
and titled persons. 1t is said that
this is the first instance of any Negro
appearing before the Sovereign of
England in any histronic or musical
capacity.
Gratifying as is the report relative
to the Williams and Walker compa-
ny, the truth of history must be res
peeted, for it is within the memory
Of many persons still living how that
great musician, Frank Johnson, and
that equally accomplished tragedian,
Ira Aldridge, both American Negroes,
at different times during the reign of
Queen Victoria appeared before that

No; it is a waste of time to adVo-
cate the suspension of the htteenth

Yes; there are certain people, NorCn

anything that promises elimination OF
the Negro from the national equation
in this country. But, like Banquo's
ghost, this element is ever present,
and will not be eliminated at the be-

REMARKABLE INCREASE IN
COPPER CONSUMPTION.

The average decennial increase IN the copper
production of the world has been 81 per cent Tor
the nineteenth century. For the last halt CEN
turv the increase has averaged 81 per cent For
the past thirty years it has averaged 90 per cent
Calculating the rate of increase for the century
on the basis of 60 per cent as shown to be the
rate of increase in production during the past
thirty years, the output OF copper at the end OF
the wear 2ooo will have reached the enormous total
of 100000 tons. By present standards OF hilan-
cling the market value of "Coppers' listed IN that
period would be about two hundred and htty
billions of dollars, and about eight million men
would be required to mine, mill and Smelt the
annual output Even at the rate OF 25 per cent
increase every ten years, which is less than half

program for the monthly meetings
of the chapters, based in great meas

Some works of fiction are strongly
recommended for those chapters wish
ing to form library for parallel read

seems dry and heavy, the historian
would like to remind all loyal daught
ers, of the vagueness and uncertainty
that characterizes the knowledge Of
both young and old concerning the
constitutionality of the war between
Most of us have a general impression
Of splendid courage against over
whelming odds In a war of which slav
cry was one Of the chief issues. But an

,lo<o i1noc into

Let us train our minds to accurate
investigation and fearless possession
of the truth. 1t has been reported
that both the Memorial and J. M.
Keller chapters Of Little Rock, are
possessed of facts of local interest to
all Arkansas women, which they kind
ly agree to furnish to any chapter
soliciting them. Also the present his
torian will gladly furnish to any chap
ter in the Arkansas division her own
pamphlet on american History in the
South" 1t contains some data that
may be OF service.

the program outlined, the historian
