BOOTH’S FORERUNNER.
'.‘1n obscure Negro’s Claim to Originat-
'11;' 11n- hirilvution Army Idea.
"’i‘lzoi-c is nothing .new under the
sun“-—not even the Salvation Army,

s.._'.s the Brooklyn Citizen.

111 point of fact, the Salvation Army
idea. movement or whatever it is de
slrmzs of calling it, dates back 111
wins. and owes its origin to a negro.
The scene of it: birth was in the old
I 10111 Street \lnthodist Church in Sep-
I tomb cr .1786.

Thole is much talk about theBooths
Introducing the SalvatiOn Army in
New York. It is interesting to learn
I that the movement was outlined'in “A
‘ 3111111112ign of God against the devil”
almost 100 y his prior to the coming
here of Gen. Booth and lady. This
[movement was complete in aggressive
,Scriptural texts. the singing of- re—
ligious composition to secular music,
the uniform and other characteristic
attributes of the present day war-cry
warriors.

Those who are inclined to doubt
these statements may look up the New
York Gazetter, and under date of Sep«
tembcrll, 1786, they will find the fol-
lowing notice.

“Lately come to this city a very
singluar black young man who, it is
said, is ignorant of letters, yet he has
preached in the Methodist Church sev-
eral times, to the acceptance of several
well-disposed, judicious people. He
delivers his discourses with great zeal
and pathos, and his language and con-
nection are by no means contemptible.
it is the wish of several of our corres-
pondents that the same black man
may be so far successful as to rouse
the dormant zeal of numbers of our
sloihful white people, who seem little
iffected about the concern of another
world.”

The black man referred to above (his
name is not recorded) gave what may
9e termed a religious entertainment
outside of the regular services at the
old John street church. He introduced
the singing of religious words to the
popular airs of the day, thereby se-
curing the attention of his auditors by
Inviting them to folow him in praising
God through the mediums most fa-
:niliar to their ears. He also introduced
1 sort of religious dancing, and the up-
ifting of a banner inscribed with war-
Iike scriptural texts.

He was dressed in a uniform of red.
white and black-the black symboliz-
ing sin, the white purity and the red
icing emblematic of the blood of atone-
ment.

This is precisely what the Salvation
Army is doing to-day. Like the negro
of over 100 years ago, it has its uni-
form and banners. its religious songs
sung to secular airs. and its warlike
texts selected from Scripture. The
Booths merely rcintroducd the meth-
ods of the black man. for he preached
the idea of the army in all his dis-
C'ourscs, trying to start the “campaign
of God against the devils. And so it is
with all due I‘QSD(‘( t to Gen. Booth and
Lady Booth that we find their move-
ment but a counterpart of what orig-
lnated in the long. long ago with an
obscurexnegro whose name even has
passed into the oblivion of the past
century.

 

A DOG THAT DOES THE BANKING.

Bull Attends Strictly to Business—“fill
Not [‘lght \Vhen on an Errand.

Aubuurn challenges any other city,
of the country to produce a dog shows
ing as much intelligence as one seen
daily at his tasks in that city.

“Bull” is the name of this faithful
creature, owned by David H. Toohill,
a wine merchant- Although fourteen
years old, he is as ready as ever for
a fight and is able to .whip any other
dog in Auburn. Mr. Toohill keeps his
deposits .in the National Bank of Au-
burn, which is a block. away from his
store and “Bull” acts as his messen-
ger. Every day when Mr. Toohill has
made up his book he hands it to “Bull”
with its money contents, and the faith-
ful dog proceeds directly to the bank
with it. never loitering in the street to
exchange civilities with any of his ca~
nine friends. Sometimes when peS<
tereu by an unknowing cur, his fight
lng passion nearly overcomes him, but
so far he has always resisted it.

One day last Summer while on his
way to the bank with the pass book
in his mouth, an old enemy pitched
on to him. “Bull” shook him off and
made a rush for the bank. He waited
patiently until relieved of his trust
when he bounded into the street, hunt-
ed up his tormentor and in a few min-
utes had given him a sound thrashing.

Ant-unatic Street Car Announcer.

Harlemites, Brooklynites and even
J erscy-itcs will, no doubt, welcome the
introduction on passenger cars of an
ingenious mechanism that automatical-
ly records the name of each street sta-
tion as fast as it is approached. This
is the idea of Richard Le Brocq, a.
young engineer.

The indicator consists of a box, one
placed in either end of the car. Each‘
box contains a series of rollers, over
which the sheet of paper runs, on
which the names of the streets are in-
scribed. Affixed to these rollers is a
system of clockwork, operated by elec-
tric connection with the cable. There-
fore. as fast as the car approaches a.
street the roller reels off the name in
full 'view of the pussngers. Th clock-
work sy stem is so regulated that the
names 0% 1120 St: cots appear with regu-
larity, and in their proper or.der ~New

CHINESE BEGGAR CHIEFS'.

One of the Peculiar Features of Social
Life .111 Clliua..

One of the most peculiar and inter-
esting figures in Chinese social life is
the beggar chief; and no less peculiar
and interesting, both as to methods
and personal appearance, are the mem—
bc'rs' of the motley organization of
mendicantsbver which he reigns abso-
lutely. °

He is required to pay a sum equiva—
lent to about $100 to every newly-ap-
point-ed tung hwan prefect, as a hum-
ble testimonial of hisallegiancc to the
high authority from‘whom his ba'dgc
of office emanates,;'and when this re-
quirement has been duly fulfilled he is
allowed to exercise the prerogatives of
his position without fear of interfer-
ences on the part of the government
officials in the district assigned to him.
His authority over the beggars is ab-
solutely unlimited, and they obcy his
orders without hesitation 01' sign of
protest.

The office is hereditary, so long as
the tribute is paid; but the immediate
progeny of the incumbenf are de-
barred from the enjoyment of any lit-
erary degree. Why this condition 1:-
exacted is not quiteclcar, but it 1s cer-
tain that no descendant of a beggar
chief ever held a literary degree.
However, the other privileges enjoyed
by him are so attractive and the in-
come is so substantial that he proba-
bly does not worry much over this one
privation.

How does he secure his income?
From the merchants and tradespcoe
ple who know that unless, they pro~
cure from the beggar chief on or be-
fore New Year day a “11010 two,” or
“passport of safety,” their shops or
“hongs” will be.infested almost con-
stantly by a horde of boisterous, impu-
dent, importunate vagabonds, who
will drive away customers and dam-
age the stocks of goods without hin-
diance fr_om the regular authorities of
the district.

Once a month, on a day suited to the
convenience of the chief, he assembles
all the beggars of his district at the
“Khichia Jan,” or féndczvous, and dis-
tributes alms among them, each re-
ceiving a sum commensurate With his
personal merits and obedience to 01‘-
ders.—Philadelphia Press.

\ No Blood on the Moon.

The Yerkes telescope, the most pow—
erful one ever constructed, reveals
nothing new concerning the moon. It
)nly brings out in better detail the in-
mm-erable craters. crevasses, hills and
'avines which go to make up tlle rug-
;ed surface of the planet, but no trace
1f vegetation or of water, and, conse-
quently, no sign of life. This is what
Istronomers long,r ago decided to be the

condition of the moon, and every ad-

ditional discovery there only confirms
the conclusion. It has been supposed
that. as the moon always turns the
same side to the earth, there might'bc
forests and streams and living beings
in the side that is turned away from
us; but no indication of an atmosphere
2am be discovered. and it is inconceiv-
able that an atmosphere can exist on
only one side of the moon. If there
were one, it must encircle the satellite,
and since it does not, there can be no
atmosphere, and, therefore, no water,
no vegetation and no life. The moon
Is a dead world—a type, the astron-
omers and physical geographers say, of
what our own world must become in
the course of time, though not until
long after the present generation has
:eascd to take an interest in its affairs.

Funcle‘s In Tulle.

Tulle will prove astrong rival of'

straw during the early part of the com—
ing season. The most novel ways of
using it are not in quillings of puffs.
as last year, but in layers, one over the
other, until it is quite opaque, and then
it is either stretched smoothly over a
firm shape, or arranged“ 1n the form of a
beret, with the loose edges of the tulle
sepai ate like the leaves of a book, and

each one bordered with extremely nar- '

rov' satin ribbon or a row of spam
gles.

Tulles and gauzes woven with filigree
gold, silver or steel are used for mak-
ing toques. Plain tulle and g'auze will
be used for trimming all sorts of spring
and summer hats, and closely span-
gied tulle will be used more for the
puffed borderings of straw toques.

of small gilt chairs and a clock, the

of the bed proper is hidden by mag-
nificent draperies of b1.~.e brocaded sat-
in, furthcr embellished with heavy em-
broidery of gold thread.

Quite. complete. this throne-like of"
fair was made in America, because 111'-
ter examining big beds for sale in the
Parisian bric-a-brac shops, Mrs. Mills
decided they were all lacking in the
convenience and comforts the modcrn
American woman demands for hei
sleeping hours. So she came home and
of very plain oak~ her bed was built,
the lofty canopy frame put up, the
embroidcries ordered from an Ameri-
can needlewoman, hung, and then the
great curtains and coverlld were edged
with forty pounds of bullion fringe.
These requisites for a perfect Marie
Antoinette bed brought the price of it
far up into the thousands, but the end
was not yet. A wonderful foundation
of spiral steel springs first lined the
inside of the couch, on the top of this
a thin felt mattress was placed, and
then on top a hair bed, slipped in a
big silken cover, before sheets or blan.
kets could be laid on. Finally, the head-
board, decorated by the brush of an
American artist. was put into place,
and, lastly, the electrician was called
in to give the finishing touches. The
good offices of the electrician was not

Mills. for all the new beds, built for
comfort as well as beauty, having first
of all a tiny button that any one lying
on the pillow can easily reach up,
touch, and turn on the light in a group
of bulbs artistically arranged in the
headboard. In Mrs. Mills’ bed a con-
ple of guilded Cupids in this board hold
each a spray of lights that shed thei1

Mrs. Yerkes, the wife of the wealthy
Chicagoan, is another woman who pos-
sesscs a big French bedroom, with the
bed set on a dais. and the room itseli
is used exclusively for sleeping. After
the fashion of royal French ladies of a
century ago, these fair Americans, who
can afford the luxury, believe that a
bedroom should have great space, a
lofty ceiling. and all day long :1 cur

"11.0 Bari: Helen W'. Almy, From

8:111 Francisco, Wreck ed. .

NOSIGNS 01? SURVIVORS

She Left the Golden Gate 011 Sunday and
Is Thought to Have Capsized in a Squal
'19]: Miles 011 Shore—Stealner Finds the
“frock.

. San. Francisco, March 23.—Upon the
arrival of the Pacific Coast Steamship
Company’s steamer Santa. Rosa from
San Diego yesterday news was receiv—
ed'of the probable loss of another gold
ship With forty passengers and sailors.

Captain Alexander of the Santa. Rosa
reported that early yesterday morn-
ing, while nine miles off Point Bonita,
at the mouth of the Golden Gate, he
sighted a derelict bottom up. The tug.
Sea “Vitch was dispatched immediate-
ly to the point and found the derelict
to be the bark Helen W. Almy, Captain
Hogan, which sailed hence for Copper
RiVer points with twenty-seven pas—
sengers and a crew of thirteen on Sun—
day. The bark lay upon her starboard.
side, with her stern low in the water,
her deck hamper badly wrecked and
several planks of her hull washed loose“-
by the seas which broke over her.

While there were no signs of boats.
among the wreckage, it is not believed
that her passengers and crew escaped
by putting off from the vessel in them,
as there have been heavy seas for sev-
eral days.’ Furthermore, no word has
been received from the survivors, if
any exist although the deielilct was
sighted within ten miles of this shore
and fully forty-eight hours hav e passed
since the wreck occurred.

According to the tugboat men there
was a. pretty stiff breeze when the
Almy sailed- out of Golden Gate on Sun-
day, and by noon it was blowing a
gale. She left here under topsails, and
when last seen was standing out for an
offing. There was a heavy sea, run-
ning, and it is supposed that some time
in the night she was struck by a squall
and capsized.

The Henry W. Almy was once a
South Sea trader, and was quite fam~
one for her many adventures among
the reefs. Her commander was then
Captain Tuttrell, and be operated hei
in the interest of John Wightman u ho
retained an interest in her when she en—
tered the Alaskan trade.

The vessel was in good condition for
an old vessel, and perfectly seaworthy.
She was on the drydocks some days
before being put on the berth, and her
owners spent $3,000 in repairing her.
She had a temporary house on deck.

W'hen the Almy left port she had
twenty-five tons of ballast in her, be-
sides the provisions of the passengers
and their outfits. She was a vessel of
only 250 tons, and was thereafter bal-
lasted sufficiently to-make her “stiff."

NAVAL APPROPRIATIOM BILL.

Reported to ‘the House by Chairman
Boutelle—Carries $36,000,000.

Washington, March 23.—-Chairman
Boutelle, of the Committee on Naval
Affairs, has reported the Naval Appro-
priation bill to the House. It is esti-
mated that the bIEl carries an aggro-
gate of $36,000,000. It provides for an
increase of the number of enlisted men
of the navy by 1,750, for 250 addition-
al apprentices and for an expenditure
in this direction amounting to nearly
$1, 000, 000.

The sum of $1, 000 000 is appropriated
for dry docks. For the completion of
vessels under construction and pur-
chase of materials and stores, the sum
of $2,500,000 is appropriated.

Three battle ships are provided for.
Chairman Boutellc says he intends to
call the bill up for passage at the first
opportunity.

 

Total of llIaine’s Dead, 259.

Havana, March 23.—Chaplain Chid-
wick has finished his mortuary report,
which shows that 251 men and two of-
ficeis perished by the Maine batastro—
phe; six succumbed to their injuries
while lying in the San Ambrosio Hos-
pital here; one died on the Spanish
transport Colon; 171 bodies have been
recovered from the wreck, of which 61
have been identified; 161 have been bur-
ied in Colon Cemetery and 11 at Key
West. This is the official report made
public, after careful correction, for the
first time. It is probable that many
more identifications will be establish-
ed when the enlistment records are
compared with the notes in Chaplain
Chidwick’s possession of marks on the
corpses.

result of a cold which I caught at an

(entertainment some years ago. It. hung

on for a. few days and I looked around
for some medicinal preparation which
would remove it. After reading quite
a few testimonials about panaceas and
cure alls for the kidneys, I selected
Doan’s Kidney Pills. It did not. re-
quire a box to remove all the difficulty.

a score of people who used this remedy

TURKEY FOOT A MASCOT.

)one in Guld,Silvor and Ribbons it Brings
You Luck.

The rabbits foot is not in the race
my longer as a charm. “’hat has
caused the downfall of bunnie’s hind
foot as a protection against all evil
and an assurance of perpetual good
inch for its happy possessor is rather
1 puzzling question and one which the
fair sex and the advocates of the new.
fad would find it hard to explain.

Well, the rabbit having enjoyed so
great and so long a run of popularity,
and out. He has done so, and his
place has been taken by one of the
kings of the farmyard—the lordly tur-
key.

Fashion decrees that in order to be
lucky one must wear in some manner
or possess in some shape or other a.
turkey’s claw.

The most popular style at present is
the natural claw, properly treated by
1. taxidermist, its shank covered by a.
silver or gold cap, set with an ame—
:hyst, turqoise, or the new green
stone, which resembles an emerald.
The tip of the nail is covered with
gold or silver cap, with a fine chain
to match the cap from the shank to
what one might call the wrist of the
slaw, and a pretty ribbon bow with
'ong ends tied just below the shank.

These new mascots are so' arranged
that they can .be hung upas orna-
ments or used as paper weights or
table ornaments. In one case'a foot
was profusely bejewelled, which was

naments they are, so far, but little
used, though the writer was told they
were being fashioned into Clasps for
fastening golf capes at the neck:-
