News Item.

The first of January marks one o
the most important epochs in the his
tory of the United States. 1t canno
be denied that the abolition of SLAYER,
by the proclamation of Abraham Lin
coin produced greater changes In tn,
whole country than any other event
in the history of the nation, and, per
haps, of the world. Few, if any, O
the nations of the world have evel
brought 100000 of human beings
from slavery into citizenship in suct
a manner and in so short time.
Whatever may be said of the ne,
groes of the United States, it is ad.
mitted everywhere that they have
made remarkable advancement and
more than fulfilled the most sanguine
expectations their friends could have
had for them. In the last fifty years
they have reduced their illiteracy
nearly fifty per cent. They have be-
come the owners of millions OF dol
lars worth Of property. They have
established newspapers. written books,
shown skill in the fine arts. founded
banks, insurance companies aud en-.
tered successfully all the avenues OF
civilized life.
Our State has shown its interest in
them by the last General Assembly
passing bill for the celebration of
the tiftieth anniversary of the enamel.
patton proclamation. A commission
was appointed to carry into effect the
provisions of this bill. This commits
sion has given the execution OF the
work into the hands of four men and
one woman, all colorod, known as or.
ganizers; executive Offices have been
established, fine suite of rooms in
the American Mechanic Building at
Trenton and from this center they are
operating through the whole State.
Already they have gotten number OF
the oolored pupils OF the schools. quite
number Of business and professional
men of their race, as we'll as many
private citizens, preparing exhibits Of
almost every description to be placed
on exhibition in grand exposition in

LAMBERTyILLE PEOPLE VISIT
MAINE.

A Lambertville girl said I've girls
travelled through Maine one summer
and were amazed at the unfaiing cour-
tesy of all classes, and the pleasant
voices and cleanliness of the poorer
people. We could not understand il
until one of us remembered that
Maine is prohibition state. Away
from alcoholic drink men were able to
develop the best that was in them"
Father and T." said another, "were
delighted with our bright, clean little
hotel on Sebago Lake. Father said
that he was so glad it was temper
ance house. Our host laughed as he
told us that all hotels In Maine were
that. We had forgotten the prohibit
ton law. From Sebago we went to
Portland. Strong temperance man as
father is, he tried to get drink but
in vain. Even the druggists refused
to sell drop of whisky for use in case
of possible sickness. We were con
vinced that prohibition does prohibit.

travelling man. He says that drink
cannot be had in the smaller places.
Even in large cities the stranger must
learn the ropes from friend before
he has an opportunity to imbibe. Dur
ing the past five years there were but
thirty-three murders in Maine. In

there were four h,indrod and tpenty-

Another said: During the month

drink or see anyone under its intlu-
ence. A Portland gentleman told me
that the prohibition laws were en-.
forced as other laws are. Men sell
liquor, steal and murder, and we wish
none of the laws against any of these
crimes repealed"

A Paterson teacher added: 81 used

DR.. Lincoln Writ. fellow of the Royal
Geographical society and explorer OF
hitherto unknown arctic regions.
Beginning Jan. 8, in the very midst
Of the long, dark winter night, this
little man Of iron nerve and indomi-
table resolution began a trip of 1,2OO
miles from northwest Alaska to the
open Pacific to organize and bring in
a relief expedition to save 5000 gold
hunters at Anvil, Alaska. The trail
had to be broken every step of the
way. Unknown and awful dangers
lurked along the entire distance, but
he made it, and the story of that trip
is one Of the most thrilling in human
speech today.
DR.. Writ is an educator, an author,
explorer, former government commits
sioner and fellow of the Royal Geo
graphical society. He has encountered
the most frightful perils of land and
sea. He does not know the name of
fear and depicts his courage in every
glance Of his eye. 1t will be a great
privilege to hear a man Of this type
and experience relate the wonderful
story Of his career.

Iowa the Great Hog State.

The farmers of Iowa own over
seven million head of hogs. They
have more hogs than are to be found
in any other state of the union, more
than in any other two states Of the
union, and the Iowa hog has long
been famous for his capacity to make
money for the farmers.
This is one reason why the swine
exhibit at the Iowa State Fair has
come to be regarded as the standard
for all the world. No other exhibit
of swine is in the same class at all
with that of Iowa. There are more
breeders and more buyers who attend
this swine exhibition than attend any
other fair or live stock show.
The Iowa farmer who is at all in
terested in swine cannot afford to
miss a careful study of the exhibit
at Des Moines, August 22d to 30th.

"Well, Vawter, I see your Chautau

| A MEMBER OF THE BALALAIKA BAND.
Russian balalaika, musical instru-
ment entirely unknown in America.
The original organization Of sixty
| artists was brought to this country
about year ago, under sanction Of
cities. For their first engagement in
New York they received a fee Of
$1,000.
The balalaika is Russian national
instrument the same as the harp is to
the Italian, the guitar to the Spaniard
and the banjo to the negro. Within
recent years it has been manufactured
in many sizes, and the balalaika or
chestra is able to produce any of the
compositions rendered by the most up
to date orchestras.
The Instrumentation of this orches-
ira will be Of great interest The CON-
pany to appear here will employ all
the various balalailsaS used by the
original organizati ton and have added
certain brass instruments by way of
greater variety. The music is peculiar
ly sweet and altogether different from
that produced by any other instrument
tation. The Balalaika orchestra is
big musical novelty sensation and.
with it's players unable to speak
word of English, will certainly arouse
great deal Of interest. The people
