| PLANS TD STAMP OUT ANARCHY. § g| Biographical Sketch of Emma Goldman, Rabid #33 Teacher of Revolution. p* "I meant to kill the President. I aui a disciple of Emma Goldman. "I have heard Emma Goldman lec ture and have read her writings. I have done my duty."—From state ment made by Czolgosz to the Buffalo police. Emma Goldman first came into prominence in New York City during the bread riots of the spring and sum mer of 1803 growing out of the cloak makers' strike. Since then she has been the most reckless of all the incendiary speech makers in the ranks of the Anarch ists in this country. The character of the woman and her doctrines are best shown by her speeches. In these she has repeatedly said: "1 do not believe in God." "When I die I would rather goto hell than to heaven. All tyrants go to heaven." "I am against all laws." Emma Goldman spent ten months in the penitentiary on Blackwell's Isl and for a speech she made in Union Square on August 21, 1893, during the bread riots. She was convicted of in citing to riot. It, was her lover, Henry Berkman, who shot Henry C. Frick. of the Car negie mills. After her fashion of mar riage she had been his wife and pub licly gloried in Berkman's act, which ALBERT BITRBEMjO. she Inspired. The woman's strange power has made her the high priestess of the most rabid and fanatical of the Anarchists. On the East Side she is known as the "Little Firebrand." Her views arc ex treme and revolutionary even for the average run of Anarchists. Emma Goldman is thirty-three years old, short, pudgy of figure, hard featured and frowsy in appearance. Her hair is light brown and her eyes bluish gray. Her chin shows de- • termination. She is a remarkably fluent talker. v au4 never fails to excite her Anarchist hearers to a high pitch. She speaks ! Russian. German, English and French and writes Spanish and Italian. She was born in Russia and educated in Germany. She was married when she was seventeen, and according to re port lias had several husbands since. When she is in New York the Gold man woman makes her homo on the East Side. She spends much of her time in back rooms of saloons where Anarchists gather. A crowd of ad mirers constantly surrounds her. She hates women, and her life lias been PETER FF.STERE. passed mostly among men. Her fea tures are almost mascu'ine. She form erly worked in a sweat-shop and is said to have been a trained nurse. Mrs. Schwab, widow of Justus Schwab, runs the little basement bar room at 50 First street, New York, where Emma Goldman makes her headquarters. The saloon is a low ceiled, smoky, dirty room, with a short bar extending lengthwise in the front Over Mrs. Schwab's head hangs a bass-relief of Marat, with an old-fash- The stepmother, the father aud two sisters.

On the wall opposite her is a blackboard with Anarchistic Dlacards aad notices on it Beyond Ihe liar are two or three round tables and a beer stained piano. Then comes another room, with a long table lined with chairs. There the John Most. ANARCHISTS OF THE FREI HEIT GROUP DISCUSSING TIIE AS SASSINATION AT t'.O GOLD STREET, NEW YORK CITY.

Many a night John Most or old Justus Schwab has pounded the table with a beer glass for a gavel while Emma Goldman has held forth on the iniquity of law and order. John Most goes daily to his head quarters in the saloon at No. 09 Gold street. New York, and talks Anarchy. While grease dripped on his waistcoat from a piece of meat held about three inches from his mouth. Most on a re cent. occasion said: 'What good would it do to kill Mc- Ivinley unless ltoosevelt was killed, too? Both must, lie put out of the way to do any good." Then he looked most benignnntly over his spectacles at a black haired, unshaven Anarchist at another table, EMMA GOLDMAN. and the oilier man nodded Ills head and said, "Yes, both." Most ate in silence for a minute or two, and then suddenly put down his knife and fork and grew fiery. "These people who say they are sorry," he said, "they are hypocrites, hypocritts. They are not sorry. They are glad. They know it in their hearts, but they are afraid to say it." Most drew a long breath and broke out again: "The Secretary of War will drive Anarchists from the coun try, will he? Ha! Bah! Let him try! How will he do it? How will he know them? Would any one take me for an Anarchist?" Certainly no one would suspect the little fat German, with his white hair and beard, of being a blood thirsty "red." "He can't drive us away," continued }fc>st. "Where is the law? This is nonsense. It makes me laugh. Ha! Ha!" In the Russian and Polish quarter of New York's East Side the Social- ist and Anarchist sentiment is all for Czolgosz. The men there gather in dark, dirty little saloons and holes in the wall where liquor is sold, and talk and gesticulate and wag their scraggy beards with gusto. Czolgosz Is a hero with them. As thpy talk of the at tempted assassination, their eyes glis ten and their thin teeth shine cruelly between their lips, drawn tightly over their gums. The women nod approv al and encouragement, and their shrill voices take part In the denunciation of law. Magistrate Brann, of New York, has proposed a plan whereby Anarchy in the United States may be stamped out. Magistrate Brann, who lias de voted considerable study to the prob lem, said: "When Congress meets it should I pass a law barring all immigration from the South of Europe, from which our Anarchists come, for ten years. At the expiration of that period, still with restrictions at our ports cf entry \| 1 '// rt l-T |T T » \ // V P*CI!OENT . ntKiNLtr " CZOLGOSZ, THE ASSASSIN. upon immigration, persons in Europe desiring to come to the United States should lie required to make applica tion to our Commissioner abroad. Each application should be investigated rig idly, and if the applicant is found to be an Anarchist, or of extreme So cialistic views, he should be denied the right to come to this country. "Anarchy, which has been undoubt edly growing among the ignorant im migrants to this country, should be stamped out at any cost.

'Wan It One of Alfred'* Ships? In the course of some excavations which were being made in the River Lea the other day the old hulk of a ship, supposed to belong to the Anglo- Saxon period, was discovered sunk in the bed of the stream. From its re semblance to an old picture in the House of Commons, it is thought that the hulk muy have belonged to a fleet with which King Alfred fought the Danes.

Coodhart, consulting physician to Guy's Hospital, in the evening delivered an address before a crowded meeting in the Princess Hall. Speaking on the subject of medicine, he said the morbid sensitiveness of people in the present day was well shown by the rapidity with which they fly to medicine. Doctors tend to make their standard too severe for practical purposes. He hated the term "weak heart." It confllned or threw useless upon society many an otherwise use ful life. Hearts were either diseased or healthy. They were all the better for plenty of work. Many a one who coddled a weak heart, died of disease which tin indolent habit had produced -London Daily News.

Acts xxviii, I, "The barbarous people showed us 110 Ut ile kindness. - ' Here we are on the Island of Malta, an- Jther name for Melita. This island, which lias always been an important commercial :entre, belonging at different times to Phoenicia, to Greece, to Rome, to Arabia, :o Spain, to France, now belongs to Eng land. The area of the island is about 100 square miles. It is in the Mediterranean 3ea, and of such clarity of atmosphere that Mount Etna. 130 miles away, can be distinctly seen. The island is gloriously ■nemorable because the Knights of Malta for a long while ruled there, but most fa mous because of the apostolic shipwreck. The bestormed vessel on which Paul jailed had "laid to"on tlie starboard tack, tnd the wind was blowing east-northcast. and, the vessel drifting probably a mile ind a half an hour, she struck at what is now called St. Paul's Bav. Practical sail jrs have taken up the Bible account and lecided beyond controversy the nlace of the shipwreck. But the island, which has jo rough a coast, is for the most part a xarden. Richest fruits and a profusion of noney characterized it in Paul's time as well as now. The finest oranges, figs and Mives grow there. When Paul and his comrades crawled lip on the beach, saturated and liungrv from long abstinence from food and chilled to the bone, the islanders, though called bar oarians because they could not speak Greek, opened their doors to the ship tvrecked unfortunates. My text finds the ship's crew ashore on Malta and around a hot fire and with the best provision the islanders can offer them. And they go into government quarters for three days to recuperate, Pttblius. the ruler, inviting them, although he had severe sickness in the house at that time, his father down with a dangerous illness. Yea, for three months they stayed on the island watch ing for a ship and putting the hospitnlitv of the islanders to a severe test. But it endured the test satisfactorily, and it is recorded for all the age-i of time and eter nity to read an 1 hear in regard to the in tiabitants of Malta, "The barbarous people showed us no little kindness." Kindness! What a great word that is! It would take a reed as long as (hat which the apocalyptic angel used to measure heaven to tell the length, the breadth, the height of that munificent word. It is a favorite Bible word, and it is early launched in the book of Genesis, caught up in (lie book of .loshua, embraced in the book of Ruth, sworn by in (he book of Samuel, crowned in the book of Psalms and en throned in many places in the New Tes tament. Kindness! A word no more gentle than mighty. I expect it will wres tle ine down before I get through with it. It is strong enough to throw an archan gel. But it will be well for us to stand around it and warm ourselves by its glow as Paul and his fellow voyagers stood around the fire on the Island of Malta, where the Maltese made themselves im mortal in my text by the way they treated these victims of the sea. "The barbarous people showed us no little kindness." Kindness! All definitions of (hat multi potent word break down half way. You say it is clemency, benignity, generosity; it is made up of good wishes; it is a con tribution to the happiness of others. Sonw one else says: "V\ hy, I can give you a definition of kindness. It is sunshine of the soul; it is affection perennial; it is a climacteric grace; it is a combination of all the graces; it is compassion; it is the perfection of gentle manliness and wom anliness." Are you all through? You hiive made a dead failure in your defini tion. It cannot be defined. But we all know what it is, for we have all felt its power. Some of you may have felt it as Paul felt it on some coast of rock as the ship went to pieces, hut more of us have again and again in some awful stress of lite had either from earth or heaven hands stretched out which "showed us no little kindness." There is kindness of disposition, kind ness of word, kindness of act, and there is .lesus Christ, the impersonation of all of them. Kindness! You cannot affect it; you cannot play it as a part; you cannot enact it; you cannot dramatize it. By the grace of Ood yoi» must have it inside you, an everlasting summer, or. rather, a com bination of June and October, the genial ity of the one and the tonic of the other. It cannot dwell with arrogance or spite or revenge or malevolence. At its first ap pearance in the soul all these Amalekites and Gergishites and Ilittites and Jebu sites must quit and quit forever. Kind ness wishes everybody well, every child well, every bird well, every horse well, every dog well, every cat well. Hive this spirit full swing, and you have no more need of societies for .vention of cruelty to animals, no more eed of protective sewing women's asso siions, and it would dull every sword itil it would not cut skin deep and un teel every battery till it could not roll I make gunpowder of no more use in t world except for rock blasting or py re chnic celebration. but are you waiting and hoping for some one to be bankrupted or exposed or dis comfited or in some way overthrown? Then kindness has not taken possession of your nature. T 7 ou are wrecked on a Malta where there ai ! no oranges. You are en tertaining a guest so unlike kindness that kindness will not come and dwell under the same roof. The most exhausting and unhealthy and ruinous spirit on earth is a revengeful spirit or retaliating spirit, as 1 know by experience, for 1 have tried it for five or ten minutes at a time. When some mean thing has been done me or said about me, 1 have felt "I will pay him in bis own coin. 1 will show him up. The ingrate, the traitor, the liar, the villain!" liut five or ten minutes of the feeling has been so unnerving and exhausting 1 have abandoned it, and 1 cannot understand how people can go about torturing them selves five or ten or twenty years, trying to get even with somebody. The only way you will ever triumph over your ene mies is by forgiving them and wishing them all good and no evil. As malevolence is the most uneasy and profitless and dangerous feeling, kindness is the most healthful and delightful. And this is not an abstraction. As 1 have tried a little of the retaliatory feeling, so 1 have tried a little of the forgiving. I do not want to leave this world until I have taken vengeance upon every man that ever did me a wrong by doing him a kindness. bet us all pray for this spirit of kind ness. It will settle a thousand questions. It will change the phase of everything. It will mellow through and through our en tire nature. It will transform a lifetime. It is not a feeling got up for occasions, but perennial. That is the reason I like petunias batter than morning glories. They look very much alike, and if 1 should putin your hand a petunia and a morning glory you could hardly tell which was the petunia and which the morning glory, but the morning glory blooms only a few hours and then snuts up for the day, while the petunia is in as widespread a glow at 12 o'clock at noon and (i o'clock in the even ing as at sunrise. And this grace of kind-' ness is not spasmodic, it is not intermit tent, it is not for a little while, but it ir radiates the whole nature all through and clear on till the sunset of our earthly ex istence. Kindness! I am resolved to get it Arc ynu resolved to cot it? Tt floe* not come hv haphazard, but through culture under divine help. Thistles grow without culture. Rocky Mountain wage grass grow* without culture. Mullein stalks grow without culture. Rut that great red rose in the conservatory, its leaves packed on leaves, deen dved as though it had been obliged to fight for its beauty and it were still reeking with the carnage of the battle, that i-OHe needed to be cultured, and through long years its floral ancestors were cultured. O God. imulant kindness in all our souls, anil then give us grace to watch it.to enrich it.to develop it! The King r.f Prussia had presented to him by the Empress of Russia the root of a rare flower, and it was putin the royal gardens on an island, and the head gar dener. TTerr Fintleman, was told to watch it. And one day it put forth its glory. Three days of every week the people were admitted to these gardens, and a young man. probably not realizing what a wrong thing lie was doing, plucked this flower and put it in his buttonhole, and the gar dener arrested him as he was crossing at the ferry and asked the king to throw onen no more his gardens to the public. The replied: "Shall 1 deny to the thousands of good peonle of my country the privilege of seeing this garden because one visitor has done wrong? No; let them come and see the beautiful grounds." And when the gardener wished to give the king the name of the offender who had taken the royal flower he said: "No; my memory is very tenacious, and I do not want to have in my mind the name of the offender. lest it should hinder me granting him a favor some other time." Now, I want you to know that kindness is a royal flower, and, blessed be God, the King of Mercy and Grace, that by a divine gift and not by purloining we may nluck this royal flower and not wear it on the outside of our nature, but wear it in our soul and wear it forever, its radiance and aroma not more wonderful for time than wonder ful for eternity. Ou your way to noon luncheon you meet an optimistic merchant, and you say, "What do you think of the commercial prospects?" and he says: "Glorious! Crops not so good as usual, but foreign demand will make big prices. We are going to have such an autumn and winter prosperity as we have never seen." On your way back to your store you meet a pessimistic merchant. "What do you think of the commercial prospects?" vou ask. And he answers: "Well, I don't know. Wheat and corn crop blasted in Kansas and Missouri, and the grain gam blers will get their fist in, and the hay crop is short in some places and in the southern part of Wisconsin they had a hailstorm, and our business is as dull as it ever was." Vou will find the same difference in judgment of character. A man of good reputation is assailed and charged with some evil deed. At the first story the pessimist will believe in guilt. "The papers saiil so, and that's enough. Down with him!" The optimist will say: "I don't believe a word of it. I don't think that a man that has been as useful and seemingly honest for twenty vears could have got oft track like that. There are two sides to this story, and I will wait to hear the other side before I condemn him." My hearer, if you are by nature a pes simist. make a special effort by the grace of God to extirpate the dolorous and the hypercritical from your disposition. Be lieve nothing against anybody until the wrong is established. When you can speak a good word for some one, speak it. If you can conscien tiously give letter of recommendation, give it. Watch for opportunities for doing good fifty years after you are dead. All my life has been affected by the letter of introduction that the Rev. Dr. Van Vranken, of New Brunswick Theological Seminary, wrote for me, a boy under nim, when I was seeking a settlement in which to preach the gospel. That letter gave me my first pulpit. Dr. Van Vranken has been dead more than thirty years, yet I feel the touch of that magnificent old pro fessor. Strange sensation was it when I received a kind message from Rev. Thomas Guard, of Baltimore, the great Methodist orator, six weeks after his death. By way of the eternal world? Oh, no; by way of this world. I did not meet the friend to whom he gave the message until nearly two months after Thomas Guard had as cended. So you can start a word about some one that will be on its travels and vigorous long after the funeral psalm has been sung at your obsequies. Kindness! Why, if fifty men all aglow with it should walk through the lost world methinks they would almost abolish perdition! Furthermore, there is kindness of ac tion. That is what Joseph showed to his outrageous brothers. That is what David showed to Mephibosheth for his father Jonathan's sake. That is what Onesiphe rus showed to Paul in the Horn;, peniten tiary. That is what William Cowper rec ognized when he said he would not trust a man who would with his foot needlessly crush a worm. That is what our assassi nated President Lincoln demonstrated when his private secretary found him in the capitol grounds trying to get a bird back to the nest from which it had fallen and which quality the illustrious man ex hibited some years before when, having, with some lawyers, in the carriage on the way to court passed on the road a swine fast in the mire, and after a while cried to his horses, "Ho!" and said to the gen tlemen, "1 must go back and help that hog out of the mire." And he did go back and put on solid ground that most unin teresting quadruped. Suppose all this assemblage and all to whom these words shall come by printers' ink should resolve to make kindness an overarching, undergirding and all pervad ing principle of their life and then carry out the resolution, why, in six months the whole earth v.ould feel it. People would say: "What is the matter? It seems to me that the world is getting to be a bet ter place to live in. Why, life, after all, is worth living. Why, there is Shylock, my neighbor, lias withdrawn his lawsuit ot foreclosure against that man, and be cause he has so much sickness in his fam ily he is going to have the house for one year rent free. There is an old lawyer in that young lawyer's office, and do you know what he has gone in there for? Why, he is helping to fix up a case which is too big for the young man to handle, and the white haired attorney is hunting up previous decisions and making out a brief for the boy. Do you know that a strange thing has taken place in the pul pit, and all the old ministers are helping the young ministers, and all the old doc tors are nelping the young doctors, and the farmers are assisting each other in gathering the harvest, and for that fanner who is sick the neighbors have made a bee, as they call it, and they have all turned into help him get his crops into the garner? And I heard this morning of a poor old man-whose three children were in hot de bate as to who should take care of him in lis declining days. The oldest son de dared it was his right because he was the oldest, and the youngest son said it was his right because he was the youngest, and Mary said it was her right because she better understood her father's vertigo and rheumatism and poor spells and knew better how to nurse him, and the only way the difficulty could be settled was by the old man's promise that he would di vide the year into three parts and snend a third of his time with each one of them. And neighboring stores in the same line of goods on the same block are acting kindly to each other. It seems to me that those words of Isaiah are being fulfilled when he says,"The carpenter encouraged tiie goldsmith, and he that smoothed with the. hammer, him that smote the anvil, saving, it is ready for the soldering.' What is the matter? It seems to me our old world is picking up. Why, the millen nium must be coming in. Kindness has got the victory.
