INTERESTING HISTORY,

Baron Won Chosen, an officer of
Rochambeau's army, who visited
Washington at White Plains in 1881,
kept a diary, and it has been brought
to light after 1875 years. Speaking of
Washingtons troops, he said: ''To-
day 1 visited Washington at White
PLANES, where had ample oppor-
tunity for observing his brave little
army. could feel deep pity for these
brave men because of the poor cloth
ing they wore. It consisted only Of
trousers. sometimes of ragged shirt
and Jackets of linen. Stockings were
wanting article, but their resolute
appearance and excellent humor help
ed to supply the lack of proper cloth
ing One-fourth Of the troops con-
sisted of colored men, and all looked
cheerful and we'll. It was the regi-
ment from Rhode Island that I found
the smartest and best disciplined.
Three-fourths of this regiment were
colored men,"
The Caucasian-American have care
fully suppressed the fact that so large
a number of the soldiers of Washing
tons were AfrO-Americans. The Afro
American saved the nation in the
shareholders rebellion, and now it
seems that proof is coming to light
that but for the aid of the AfrO-Ameri-
can the American republic would not
have existed at ALL

THE MARYLAND PLATFORM.

The platform adopted by the Demo
Gratis of Maryland was received with
much applause, say the press dis
patches. That is not strange, for it
is one of the most amusing things
ever given out to the public. Here is
one paragraph:
more and more persuaded by the
stirring events of the last six years
that there is no rightful place under
our system of constitutional American
liberty for the conquest, subjugation,
and government of alien races in re-
mote islands of the sea and for the
dangers and evils Of colonial and i'm
perial expansion, We pledge ourselves
to the adoption of all conservative and
practicable measures to rescue the
government from the evil conse-
quences of so deplorable departure
from the fundamental principles of
the constitution.
To this end we demand that at the
earliest possible moment, independ-
ence shall be granted to the Filipinos
with the same general relationship to
this country as that now enjoyed by
the people of Cuba"
It will be remembered that the Mary
land democrats are not so solicitOus
about the Afro-Americans in their state
for a democratic legislature has re-
Gently enacted laws which deprive
American citizens of their rights
but that's another story. Think OF
Maryland democrats demanding indie
pendence for brown aliens while they
deny common rights of citizenship to
black men at home It's enough. to
make a horse laugh.

information which resulted, in the ar
rest Of Jacob Olson, Will Clark, John
Romachik, ]. Cutcheon and Will Kaez-
marck. All parties white. - 49,:
The crime was committed more than
a week ago. and the accused persons
have been arrested and identified for
three days, but we have heard no ac-
count of a lynching bee; and, in fact,
there has not been ripple of excite
ment except among the persons d.
rectly concerned in the horrible affair."
and the newspapers have had very
little to say about the matter. One
prominent daily of st. Paul, only ten
miles away, told the whole story in
just twelve lines. including the mild
head lines: shocking Depravity
Brought to Light in Case Reported
in Minneapolis
Now, we are very glad there has
been no attempt to lynch the fiends,
as we are opposed to mob law under
any and all circumstances, but we can
not help noticing how different is the
actions of both the public and the
press when a black man is even sus-
pected or accused of raping white
woman. All of which goes to show
that to "save their women's honor is
not the real reason for lynching black
men, as is claimed. Consistency,
thou art a Jewell"

WORST PERIL OF THE SEA.
Boiler Explosions Arc the Chief Terrors
of Sailors Life.

Boiler Explosions Arc the Chief Terrors
of Sailors Life.
Among the many perils that sur
round a sailors life there is nothing
he breads more than boiler explosion
at sea. Such catastrophe is bad
enough on dry land, but when it hap
pens many miles from land on
stormy sea there are additional hor-
rors to it. Every year the number Of
steamers which disappear and leave
no mark behind to tell of their fate
runs up well toward 100. A typhoon
may sweep down like lightning out of
a clear sky and tear ship to pieces,
but some floating wreckage is sure to
tell the tale. A boiler explosion, on
the contrary, will blow hole as big as
a tunnel through the bottom of the
ship, and down she will go, leaving
nothing behind her to tell of her fate
She sinks like a shot. There is no
time to launch the boats or cut loose
a spar to which to cling. Sailor men
believe that 80 per cent Of the mys-
FERROUS disappearance Of steamers on
the sea can be accounted for by boiler
explosions. The modern system of
steam boiler inspection for ocean-go-
ing steamers is strict. but it is impos-
isble to guard completely against fraud
and carelessness. There is an old
story of a drunken engineer who mis-
took the thermometer for the steam
gauge and "cursed OUT his stokers
because LIE could not get the pressure
above eighty pounds. That is gal
ley yarn It will not "hold water"
yet there are cases almost as bad,
which can be authenticated Chicago

OLDEST CITY I'm AMERICA.
A Buried Town in Honduras Near tho
fSuatannaln Tina.


Guatamal Line.
You were doubtless taught that st.
Augustine, Fla, is the Oldest city In
America, and so far as settlements by
Europeans are concerned, that is prob
ably correct, but scientists know OF a
city so old that there is no telling when
it was built, and they often speak of it
*'city"is Copan, buried in the forests
of Honduras, near the Guatemala boun-
dairy line. 1t is not a city in the mod
ern sense of the word, for it is only
a heap of ruins, but there is enough
to show that at some time centuries
and centuries ago it was busy center
of population. Then the Maya In
dams of Yucatan and Central America
were at the height of their civilization.
They built cities by constructing the
bases of great pyramids out of blocks
of stone of enormous size. These blocks
were taken from quarries some times
two miles distant, were conveyed to
the "city" and placed in the wall in
perfect order, and yet it is not known
that the Mayas had any machinery for
handling such heavy material. The
pyramidal base Of Copan is built up
to considerable height, and upon the
flat top are placed the palaces, the al
tars and other smaller pyramids. From
all evidence Copan was in ruins when
Cortez conquered Mexico in 1921. The
Spaniard and his soldiers passed with
In short distance of it and did not
see the town at all, so it must have
been deserted even then. And yet the
ruins of Copan bear evidence of having
lain there, buried amid the luxuriant
foliage of Honduras, for ages, and only
some crude inscriptions on the rocks
can give clew to the history of the
wonderful place. These inscriptions
and carvings still defy solution. There
are statues and images made of rock,
but they are meaningless. Copan's
history is unknown, and so scientists
are wont to speak of it as <'the oldest
city in America. "-Chicago Record.

DR.. w. F. Drewry, superintendent
of an asylum for insane Afro-Ameri-
cans, at Petersburg, Va, stated at the
annual convention of the American
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. association, in
session in St. Louis this week, that
insanity among Afro-Americans is in
creasing very rapidly. At the close
of the Civil War only twenty:seven
Afro Americans were under treatment
in Virginia for insanity; now there are
more than 1900. He attributes the
increase to the new and great respon-
sibilities that have become theirs.
This is evidence that they are en-
deavoring to carry their burdens, and
are intensely human"

ITO SAVE OUR WOMEN'S HONOR

On Thursday night of last week,
Joseph Desjaelats and his fiancee, Miss
Mary c. Weier. both deaf mutes, were
out walking together in the suburbs
OF Minneapolis. They met gang of
seven young toughs, one of whom
Knocked down the man and then two
of the toughs held him down while the
others proceeded to rape the girl. She
fought as we'll as she could, but the
brutes easily overpowered her while
her affliction and that of her fancee
prohibited them from calling for help.
The man was compelled to remain
and witness the seven brutes in turn
assault the girl When their lust was
satisfied the gang fed, leaving Des-
jaelats to care for the unfortunate
girl. Miss Weier at first refused to
report the outrage, as she dreaded the
publicity that would follow. Finally
she was persuaded to make. a com
plaint. which she did in writing, Tues
day of this week. Wednesday morn
mig Albert Berian and Philip Newman
were arrested and promptly identified
by Miss Weier and Desjae1ais, and
