COL ORED WRITERS
Review of Contributions to
the World.
REGAIN IN EARLY DAYS
TALK WITH AN AUTHORITY ON
THE SUBJECT.
Mr.. MURRAY Tells of His Researches,
Going Back to Early Days
of History.

Mr. Daniel Murray for many years an as
sistant in the Library of Congress, is pre-
pairing historical review of the contrlpu-
lions of the colored race to the literature
Of the world with a complete photography
relating to that subject.
Public attention was sharply called to this
ouestion of the intellectual capacity of the
negro six years ago by Booker T. Washlng-
ton and other colored men of prominence
when the United States government was
preparing an exhibit for the Exposition
Jniverselle," Paris, 1900. Mr.. Washington
urged that advantage should be taken OF
the opportunity that worlds fairs oHer 10
show what the colored race had contributed
to the worlds literature. The authorities
consenting, Mr.. Putnam, librarian of Con-
gress, detailed Mr.. Murray to make list
of all books and pamphlets written and pub
lished by authors identified with the colored
race. AS only four months interviewed from
the detail to the opening, the list was far
from complete and very deficient in full
photographed and historical information,
which has now been supplied.
Began Years Ago.
Mr.. Murray's work has been in course of
preparation for many years. 1t was prac-
tically begun about twenty-five years ago,
when he commenced to gather material for
such work after reading Gregoires In
quiry Concerning the Intellectual and Moral
Faculties and Literature of Negroes and
Mulattoes, Quadroons, etc." 1910.
Gregoire formed in 1880, in Paris, a So
ciety called Friends Of the Blacks" de-
signed to secure their emancipation in the
French colonies. Thomas Paine, Benjamin
Franklin and Thomas Jefferson were mem
bers.
Aim Of Society.
"One of the aims of this society," said Mr.
Murray in talking of his work today, "obli-
gated each of it's members to gather such
evidence of capacity on the part of negro
or mulatto as came under his notice, the
same being designed to reinforce the argu-
ment the society intended to present to
the French convention. to induce 1t to
grant full equality to the mulattoes, etc.,
In the colonies. There were no mulatto
slaves, but they lacked full political equal

Owen Kelley Identified.

PHILADELPHIA. Pa, February 49,
Captain Donaghy Of the detective depart
ment today received the following tlegram
from the Los angeles police:
Bishop Conaty has positively identified
the man under arrest as Owen Kelley. Adj
wise us what action to take"
Captain Donaghy at once sent a message
requesting the Los Angeles authorities to
detain Kelley, and stating that he would
send a member of his force to bring him
back to Philadelphia. Detective Duey will
start for Los Angeles tomorrow. Kelley
is not wanted by the. police here, but his
family and friends have been searching for
him since October 20, when he disappeared

Force of Strong Personality.

From Success.
Who has not felt his power multiplied
many times, his intellect sharpened, and a
keener edge put on all his faculties, when
coming into contact with a strong person
atty which has seemed to unlock hidden
powers which he never before dreamed
he possessed so that he could say things
and do things impossible to him when
alone? The power of the orator, which
he filings back to his listeners, he first draws
from his audience. but he could never get
it from the separate individuals any more
than the chemist could get the full power
from chemicals standing in separate bot
ties in his laboratory. 1t is in contact and
combinations only that new creations, new
forces, are developed.

The Joy Of Gardening.

From the Garden Magazine.
The way to have more and better vege-
tables for less work is to plan the garden
in February instead of waiting until May.
Every one who fails to draw a diagram OF
his garden Is likely to be swamped by the
spring rush. Without a plan you are sure
to liant too much of one thing and not
enough of another The only possible OBJ
lection to planning the garden in winter is
that it may seem like work" The obvious
reply is, Don't make work of it. Enjoy
it, If you have never tasted the joys of
planning, begin now.

Opening the uintah Reservation.

Secretary Hitchcock today sent commu-
nication to the Senate explaining the neces-
sity for delay in opening the Uintah reser-
walton in Utah. Commissioner Richards of
the general land Office, in letter to the
Secretary, says the allotments OF Indian
lands cannot be completed in time for the
opening, which was fixed for March 10, 1905.
The; House extended the time In the Indian
appropriation bill. but the Senate commit
tee struck out the provision.

President Andrew johnson.

No Impeachment in our governmental ca
reer has exceeded In interest that of An
drew Johnson, by reason of his exalted po-
sition and the peculiar exgencies of the
time. President Johnson had come into
sharp conflict with Congress the ques-
tons connected with reconstruction, and
the breach between the executive and the
rational legislature widened until it grew
into an open Impeachment In 1867 Con-
gress passed what is known as the tenure
of Office act. 1t was vetoed by the Presi-
dent and passed over his veto. Mr. STAN
ton, then Secretary of War, was not will
ing to lend himself to Johnson's schemes
of reconstruction. and, therefore, on Au-
gust II. 1867, the President suspended him
and appointed General Grant Secretary ad
interim. When the Senate met the Presi-
dent laid his reasons for the suspension be-
fore 1t, but that body refused its sanction,
and Stanton accordingly resumed his office.
Early in 1868 Johnson again removed STAN
ton and appointed in his place General
Lorenzo Thomas. The erstwhile Secretary
supported by a resolution of the Senate,
refused to vacate his portfolio, and soon
the situation reached an acute stage, fol-
lowed by a resolution of Impeachment In
the House of Representatives. The House
appointed to conduct the prosecution: John
A Bingham of Ohio, George s. Boutwell,
and Benz. +. Butler OF Massachusetts, las
F. Wilson of Iowa, Thomas Williams and
Thaddeus Stevens of Pennsylvania and
John A. Logan of Illiiiois. The President
was represented by the following counsel:
Henry Stanbery and w S. Groesbeck Of
Ohio, William NJ. Evarts of New York,
Thomas A. r. Nelson of Tennessee and
Benjamin r. Curtis of Massachusetts.
There were eleven articles of impeacll-
ment against President Johnson, charging,

Spring Migration of Birds.

From st. Nlcn0iah
Cold as is February, it is the beginning of
various life-interests of spring and summer.
Among the birds to arrive, beginning at the
middle of the month, are the woodcock, pur-
pie grachle, rusty blackbird, red-winged
blackbi phoebes and several others. The
list varies in different places. Many four
footed animals resume activity at this sea-
son. and even some reptiles crawl out on
Warmest days.

The Woodchuck Is Lazy.
From ST. Nicholas.

There is no animal that exerts less energy
in the course of year than the woodchuolE,
He feeds upon the best in the meadow and
occasionally in the garden, being very fond
of the juicy peas and beans and tender letk
tuce. Then as winter comes on he forgeto
all care and worry, crawls into his hurroWs

awaken till spring.

ceeded over the line for a distance OF
twenty-five miles. The officials made a
thorough inspection of the road for this
distance and found it in first-class con-
dition. The entire road is only twenty
eight miles in length, so ii may be seen
that but little more work is to be done.
A prominent official of the road is cred
tied with the statement that when the
new line is in operation there will be no
transfers from the Southern Pacific
trains to the Virginia < Truckee road OF
any kind or description whatsoever. All
freight loaded at points in California
and billed for Tonopah viii be carried
straight through. No passenger tickets
will be sold by the Southern Pacific
Company to Tonopah by way OF the
Virginia 4 Truckee. This will undoubt-
eddy result in nearly all Of the traffic be-
ing carried over the new road, as the
trip will be made in quicker time and
the rate will be placed as cheap, ii not
