inspired her to pour out her soul in
protest against slavery. She thought
that if she could only make the world
see slavery as she saw it her object
would be accomplished; she would
then have induced people to think
right on the subject"
When Mrs. Stowe prepared the plan
of the work that was to become ia
nous and profitable beyond her fond.
est dream, she was approaching her
fortieth year. Her husbands small
income hardly sufticed to meet the
frugal needs of large household. She
was worn out with the care of many
young children and the burden of the
literary work she was doing to exc
out the salary of Prof. Stowe. There
was nothing but the prospect of bit
ter struggle for bare living when the
inspiration of lifetime came to her
and she wrote her Uncle Toms
Cabin" When the story was first pub
lished serially in the National Era, an
anti-slavery paper in Washington, it
obtained little notice. When, however,
it was put on the market in book form
it had the most extraordinary success.
Longfellow thought that while it
was one of the greatest triumphs of
literary history, it contained an even
higher moral triumph.
In England some of the most en-
thusiastic encomiums were passed
upon the author and her book. Lord
Palmerston, Lord Cockburn, Charles
Kingsley, Lord Carlisle and Macauley
expressed their warmest appreciation
OF this strange novel and of the extra.
ordinary influences which it was hav-
ing in so many countries.
More than 100000 copies of the
book were sold within nine months
after it's publication. Thirty different
editions were published in London
within six months of the appearance
OF the book in America. 1t would be
long list which should contain the
number of languages in which the
work was published subsequently and
Mrs. Stoves name became a familiar
one in all parts of the civilized world.
Uncle Toms Cabin" was one of
the most remarkable books ever writ
ten and it probably did more to cause
the war of the rebellion than any other
one influence. Abraham Lincoln, after
he became president, expressed de-
sire to meet Mrs. Stowe and when she
came to the White House he received
her cordially. He looked at her in
tently for some time and then said,

caused the civil war;"

cOLORED SOLDIERS FALL FIRST,

A squadron of the Tenth Cavalry
colored American soldiers, was am
pushed by Caranzista troops at Car

troops dismounted, deployed and
charged the Mexicans, who were
shielded by row of adobe houses.
Notwithstanding the great advan.
tage the Mexicans held both in posi-.
ton and numbers, General Gomez,
the Mexican commander, was killed
during the first few minutes of fight
ing, also a number of Mexican SOL
diers. On the American side, eleven
troopers and their commander were
killed.

of their birth, they are to a great
extent treated as they were lepers,
subjected to insults, denied their civil
rights. Nevertheless from the time
that Crispus Attacks, the mulatto,

Revolutionary war to the present
time, colored men have never failed
to lay down their lives in defense of
their native land.

NEW YORK NOW BIGGEST
 CITY IN ALL THE WORLD.
London Took Second Place In 1911.
 Fact Hidden by Blunder.

New York is the largest city in the world. London by reason of losses occasioned by the war and because of gigantic mistake in estimating the population must now admit that the American. metropolis is the bigger by about quarter of a million people.
 Nor are matters improved, as Lon doners have imagined. by comparing the population of Greater London with that of Greater New York, for there again the American metropolis beats the older city by 132,O00.
 It is four years now since the last census of London was taken, but the official figures have only just been made public
 These figures show, among other things. an astonishing blunder The census revealed that there were actual ly some 4.50000O within the county of London (which means London properl, but the London county council and other local authorities had been esti- mating that the population was 390,000 more, and accordingly all statistics as to births and deaths have been inaccu- rate.
 The exact number of people in the county of London, according to these 1911 figures. iS 4521,35S. whereas New York city in 1910 numbered 4,766SS3. Counting in "eXtra London" as it is termed-that is. London outside the county-the population of the erstwhile metropolis of the world is 7.251, ,35S. whereas that of Greater New York. in cludng the Westchester and New Jer- sey suburbs, was at the last census 7,3S3,S71
 Considering, however. that the latter count was made in 1911, three years later than London's most recent emu meration, rhe probability is that the biggest cities of the old and the new world are now just about neck and neck

HOW AMERICAN PRINCESS
 ESCAPED FROM AU3TRlANS.
Former Mrs. Huger Pratt Had Hard
 Time Leaving Serva.

Princess Alexis Karageorgeyitch, for merly Mrs. Huger Pratt of New York, arrived in Rome the other day after an adventurous journey on horseback across Albania. She was still much fatigued from her trip.
 The prince is a cousin of King Peter of Servia and was an exile from his country, living ill Paris until last spring, when. with the princess. he went to Servia.
 The princess says that she left Nish shortly before the Austro-German oc- equation of the Servian wartime capi- tai. She said that she had been com pelled to ride hard day and night since, pursued by the enemy and at imminent risk of capture.
 The party originally had forty horses, but thirty-four of them died en route, and luggage and provisions were aban doned.
 On her arrival at Tirana, Albania, the princess was welcomed by EsSad Pasha. provisional president of Al bania, who furnished an escort for the party to Montenegro, where they were the guests of King Nicholas at Ce- tinje. The princess, accompanied by her husband. crossed the Adriatic on an Italian cruiser and was landed at Rapallo.
 Princess karageors cvitch says that the Servians are dying of hunger and that their need of relief is most urgent. Their sufferings in Albania, she says. Md'e all description.
