Several of his orchestral numbers have been recorded on Columbia records. He hails from Denver, Colo., the Queen City of the West, where no entertainment or concert is ever complete without Morrison's orchestra.

BULLETIN-APPEAL Millionaire's Marriage Shocks Society Bluebloods Act Has Created Furore In The South, When It Was Learned Bride Had Colored Blood In Her Veins. New York, Nov. 21.—Like a bomb-shell tossed into the aristocratic ranks of American and European bluest of bluebloods came the news Friday that the dashing young millionaire, Leonard Kip Rhinelander, heir to a fortune of $100,000,000, had secretly married the charming Miss Alice Beatrice Jones. The young millionaire, who is 23, is a member of New York's most exclusive families. They married on Oct. 14, last in New Rochelle, a town settled by the Rhinelanders more than 200 years ago. Mr. Rhinelander went into the marriage compact with his eyes wide open. He was well acquainted with her mother and father and had repeatedly called upon her at her father's home. He also knew that Miss Jones' sister, Emily, was married to Robert Brooks, a Colored butler, employed by Mrs. Joseph Arthur of Pelham. Met Three Years Ago The couple met over three years ago at Stamford, Conn. It was love at first sight. After a flaming courtship of a year and a half, Mr. Rhinelander went to California for his health. They corresponded daily. The absence only inspired the millionaire's love and he soon returned, failing to remain in the West as long as he contemplated. He and Miss Jones resumed companionship and it is said that they became engaged immediately upon his return. That was nearly two years ago. The fact that Rhinelander hurriedly returned from the West and became immediately engaged to Miss Jones indicates what he cared about being disinherited. He has $500,-000, which he received from various legacy sources, and, if disinherited, can still be counted an independently wealthy man. Introduced Into Society All efforts to discourage Rhine-lander from marrying Miss Jones because of his high social standing failed. Last summer he took her to Newport, a fashionable resort, where no one except the wealthy frequent. He introduced her into the exclusive circles of society and, for the six weeks that they were there, the millionaire's bride-to-be mingled with the ultra-exclusive and the elite of the 400, who are looked upon as being the bluest of the bluebloods. While at the resort Miss Jones attracted unusual attention. She was fashionably gowned, her wardrobe permitting her to make three and CONDUCTS MEAT MART. GROCERY IN MILL CITY PETER M. McDuff Woodard owner of the "Our Economy Market," at 810 6th Ave., is one of Minneapolis' most progressive business men. Mr. Woodard has one of the largest and most attractive grocery and meat markets in the two cities. Mr. Woodard and his staff of assistants are always at your service. THE NORTHWESTERN ST. PAUL-MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1924 WEDDING STARTLES GOTHAM SOCIETY A Mrs. L. K. Rhinelander four changes a day. She is of medium height, slender and extremely attractive. Her eyes are bright and sparkling, her cheeks are tinged with a delicate rose color that is natural, her figure is boyish and she is the possessor of the poise of an artist's model. As the attractive young couple promenaded arm in arm upon the moist sands of the beach at Newport in their stunning bathing suits, they were the chief topic of discussion. Many of the exclusive society debutantes were envious of Miss Jones and termed her as being "lucky" in being so fortunate as to "cop" the handsome Rhinelander. On Oct. 14 Mr. Rhinelander and Miss Jones were married in New Rochelle. The ceremony was witnessed by the city clerk and the mayor's secretary. She gave her age as 23. After marrying, Mr. Rhinelander left his aunt's fashionable home in New York and lived with his bride at the humble home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Jones, at 763, Pelham Rd., New Rochelle. The newlyweds lived with the bride's parents until a few weeks ago, when they started housekeeping in a cozy four-room apartment in the fashionable apartment building on New Rochelle's main street. ORGANIZER MATTHEWS GIVEN WATCH, BANQUET Melvin Chisum, popular field organizer during the campaign just ended, was the host at a memorable and delicious dinner given National Republican Organizer William C. Matthews at the Broadway Central Hotel on Tuesday night. As a token of esteem the eastern district colored officials presented their chief with a fine Tiffany gold watch. Harry H. Pace was toastmaster and made the presentation speech, to which Mr. Matthews replied in a masterly, comprehensive political address, in which he thanked all his colleagues with evident feeling. George W. Harris responded and was followed by Mr. and Mrs. Solomon Johnson, Dr. William Byrd, William Chisum, George E. Wibecan, Glichrist Stewart, Albion F. Holsey of Tuskegee, Dr. George E. Cannon and Joseph Johnson of Washington. THE SPIRIT OF THE NEGRO The happy spirit of the Negroes, which all must admire, is well described by Dr. A. A. Kidwell, of Johannesburg, South Africa, in a statement appearing in "The Tuskegee Messenger." On the cheerfulness and enterprise of the South A PRAYER OF THANKS Dear God A race on bended knee, Erown arms stretched heavenward, Eyes blinded by their secret tears, unshed, Sobs out its thanks to Thee. The sod, On which they humbly kneel, More oft has felt their tread, Light moving, swift as tho a happy heart Lifted each heel. Father, They do not act a role— Gay clowns on life's highway. Their jests and mimicry in public place Conceal a soul Father, So bruised and torn, thru years Of daily blow on blow, It oft must creep in secret place to hide Its venial tears. My Lord— Their wrongs pass all belief, Their manhood crucified Each day; their bodies slain. Ah Christ! You knew such grief. A hoard Of ills are theirs, thru foes Who multiply with years. But no—another time, another day They'll speak these woes. Omipotence— Nor yet they do not pray For rights denied, or acts By law, long promised them, to right these wrongs. (Thy will, Thy way.) Remembrance Of other days; a nation's waif From field and cabin cried; And not in vain. That memory they retain— Thank God for Faith. A. V. HALL. Triangle Club Gives Fourth Annual Ball DANCER TO APPEAR AT PALACE-ORPHEUM The Triangle Club, composed of Twin Cities colored postal employees, gave their fourth annual ball at the Coliseum, Minneapolis. There were approximately 250 couples who attended. The entertainers were Leona, toe dancer, and Wendell Jones, tenor. The E. C. Strut, led by Mr. Harvey Moss and Mrs. Dave Francis, was the hit of the night. A. B. The committee on arrangements was: Mr. James Wilson, St. Paul, chairman, George Mundell and E. Charleston, alides. Mr. Harvey Moss, Minneapolis, chairman; Donald Brandy and J. F. Stevens, alides. Reception committee, Jose H. Sherwood, Mr. Coquire, St. Paul, and Wm. Smith and Wm. Jeffrey, Minneapolis. Music and program under the direction of J. F. Stevens. Floor director, Tela Burt. Check room and punch bowl, Enol Fassett. Newly elected officers for the ensuing year: J. F. Stevens, Pres.; Dave Francis, first vice-president; E. Charleston, second vice-president; James Wilson, secretary. Phillip McCullough, assistant secretary; Jose H. Sherwood, treasurer. Closing a successful engagement at the Seventh Street Theater, Minneapolis, with the Indian Jazz Revue, Gene Collins, the most sensational eccentric dancer seen in the Twin Cities for years will open at the Palace Orpheum Theater in St. Paul, beginning Sunday afternoon. Newly appointed entertainment committee: Dave Francis, chairman, Minneapolis; Tela Burt and Ira Allen, aides; Lawrence McCoy, chairman, St. Paul; James Wilson and G. G. Mundell, aides. There are few dancers who can compete with Mr. Collins; for an entire season he was an extra added attraction with Chief Blue Cloud on the Pantages circuit and also appeared on the boards at the celebrated Markigold Garden for six months. SOUTHERNER GIVES TO SEGREGATION FIGHT Next season, Mr. Collins will appear in a specialty of his own as this is the last time he will appear in the Twin Cities with a white company. C. K. Bartlett, a white resident of Asheville, North Carolina, has sent his check for $15 to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue, New York, to be used in the fight now being made against residential segregation. African natives Dr. Kidwell writes: African natives Dr. Kidwell writes: "The natives there as the Negroes in America are working out their own salvation and from this opportunities and permanence must come. They have had many setbacks; many blows; but I have always said to my native friends: 'You are like an India rubber ball, the harder people throw you down, the higher you bound up again,' and I believe that is characteristic. In spite of the many sorrows, the many difficulties and many hardships through which they have passed they are the people on God's earth who are among the happiest. Mr. Bartlett writes: "I am not only in hearty sympathy with you in this fight, but realize that people of the white race (I am one, an eager one) will be much better off when they join hands with you and strive for certain qualities of mind and heart, in which you excel." Mr. Bartlett is one of a number of white Southerners who are enthusiastic and faithful friends of the N. A. A. C. P.

The body of a man, shot through the head, rolled from an overturned automobile late Monday after a collision with another car at Sixth street and Smith avenue. The shooting victim was John Boggins, 30 years old, who police believe lived at 91 West Summit avenue where the shooting occurred. Four others are held in connection with the shooting. One of the men in custody, John Beckham, 474 University avenue, is said by police to have admitted shooting Boggins, declaring that the shooting was accidental. The story, as pieced together by police, is that Beckham, after shooting Boggins, loaded him in an automobile and started from 91 West Summit avenue for Ancker hospital. At Sixth street and Smith avenue Beckham's car collided with one driven by C. J. Steele, 291 Earl street. The body of Boggins was jostled from the machine. Beckham was bruised and cut and Steele suffered a broken nose and severe cuts. Beckham told police that he had pointed the gun at Boggins as a joke and had pulled the trigger two or three times. The last time he pulled the bullet penetrated Boggins' head, inflicting a wound which is believed to have caused his death en route to the hospital. The others held in connection with the affair are Mrs. Julia Carroll, 91 West Summit avenue; Ed Burke, 368 Farrington avenue, and Theodore Franklin, 34 years old, South St. Paul. All were questioned, by Harry Peterson, county attorney, who also ordered a post mortem examination to obtain the bullet which killed Boggins. The gun, with which Boggins was shot, has not been found. PRICE: FIVE CENTS BULLETIN-APPEAL AFFAIR TO BE HELD THANKSGIVING DAY Committee Sponsoring Testimonial Plan for Record Crowd at Union Hall.

Maxwell is charged with sale and possession of liquor, but the boy was held without charge and probably will be released, according to J. P. Brandt, in charge of the prohibition agents in St. Paul. Three gallons of moonshine were found in the barber shop, Brandt said. APPOINTED ON STAFF OF MINNESOTA DAILY Earl Wilkins, a sophomore at the University of Minnesota, has been appointed a member of the editorial board of the Minnesota Daily, the official newspaper of the university.

Hardly a half century has passed since our future as a race was shrouded in hopeless uncertainty. Freed by the edict of emancipation we faced a cynical and doubting world with faith in the ultimate justice of the divine creator as our only asset. To day the mists of uncertainty have rolled away. What was an ephemeral hope yesterday has become a positive conviction. From chattel to citizenship in the space of fifty years is little short of miraculous. The story of the American Negro dwarfs the most extravagant imagination—measured by any standard it is the most imposing example of human achievement which written history records. Propertyless he has amassed billions of dollars worth of property; without learning he has literally absorbed and assimilated the cultural heritage of the centuries. The Negro has much to be thankful for. His patch has been steep, and his way beset with obstacles and difficulties, but always there has been the confidence of his friends—the encouragement and support of those who believed in the justice of his cause. America has denied him much—but never has America been without those who dared to stand in his behalf. We are not content. The way to complete manhood still stretches out before us. Our enemies are relentless in their efforts to crush us. But we now know that finally we shall prevail. Viewed from the perspective of these short years we should be immeasurably thankful that the omnipotent Father of mankind has vouchsafed to us so much of peace, so much of happiness—so much of achievement. Truly "the Lord hath done great things for us whereof we are glad." THE PART WE PLAYED The Bulletin- Appeal makes a Republican Party in the recent election and implored the Negro electorate.

As a newspaper we urged and implored the Negro electorate of Minnesota to cast a straight Republican ballot for the full national and state ticket; and we are satisfied that $97\%$ of the colored citizens not only voted for Coolidge and Dawes but for Theodore Christianson, the governor-elect and the remainder of the Republican ticket. Because of this unparalleled support of the Republican party in the state, we have a right to expect recognition. No other racial or national group has rendered such unswerving loyalty to the party; and no other national or racial group has received such scant reward as the Negro citizens. We hope that governor-elect Christianson is aware of the mistakes of his predecessors in thus slighting the Negro group. We hope that in his appointive power he refrains from ignoring and humiliating the loyalty of this not insignificant factor in his election. The Negro citizens of Minnesota are of one mind in this respect. They want recognition from the party. Not recognition expressed by the appointment of menials—but recognition which is cognizant of the intelligence and loyalty of the black electorate. Newspaper Policies Must Cater To Public and Not Individual By Wm. Saunders in The Chicago Whip. Every now and then there comes into almost every newspaper office some complaint against something that has been published about somebody or something. Sometimes the complaint is in the form of a request, sometimes it is in the form of a threat and then again it becomes violent. It is in the hope that I can bring about a better understanding of newspaper work as related to individual and public interests that I am writing this article. News Sells Newspapers. The dissemination of news is the greatest mission of any newspaper. If the Pan-African Journal can print more news and tell it more interesting than the Sanhedrin Dispatch the former will sell and the latter will stagnate unless it puts forth some effort to bring its news matter up to the same standard. News is the thing then that pays the editor's salary, news is the thing that pays the printers' bills, news is the thing that builds up circulation, increases advertising and makes a paper grow. Take away news and a paper becomes nothing more than a dull mass of paper and ink.

Cries Must Cater And Not Individual tisers secured; the more advertisers secured and the more people who read a paper increases salaries, puts bread and butter in the mouths of those who are depending upon the earnings of the paper for support. What then must be the thoughts of the person who will come into a newspaper office and ask, bulldoze or cajole the editors to keep this and keep that out of the paper? Whose interests do the editors serve in so doing, their paper's or that of the individual who is after the favor? The person who gets into trouble should weigh the consequences beforehand, instead of trusting to newspapers to shield their reputations after they have dragged it in the mire. It is a newspaper's business to tell news, and the persons who ask their editors to neglect their duty as newspaper men by suppressing news is asking them to break faith with the employers who pay their salary. If anything happens to you, which if given publicity will injure your reputation, then the newspaper office is the first place you should visit for there is not much that happens in a community that a live-awake newspaper does not know about. If it is your desire to have an incident suppressed you are asking the newspaper man to deprive himself of money. You pay a lawyer to defend you. You pay a groceryman to feed THE NORTHWESTERN-BULLLISTIN APPEAL you. You pay a tailor to clothe you. In neither case do you complain. You feel that when you have paid them that you have got value received. Why should you place a newspaper, which, instead of selling law, selling food, selling clothes, sells news in a different class? Each is a calling unto itself and each must live by the fruits of their labors. Lessons in Journalism. If a reporter knocks at your door or calls upon you, receive him courteously. He already knows what he has come to ask you, in most cases. To antagonize him is to leave within him a feeling that he would "like to get something on you," and the first time that something happens in which you are concerned he will give it as much space as possible if adverse and as little space as possible if in your favor. The newspaper game is one of keen competition. The men who run the papers must fight for news and recognition in ways and with means that other papers larger and more successful than themselves have adopted and won out with. Most people think that a newspaper is an instrument of torture, seeking only to tear down. This is not true. A good newspaper is equally as ready to help build any worthy cause. Its business is news. If most news found borders on the destructive then the edition following must necessarily be similar in nature, but if on the other hand the news is constructive then the paper likewise is constructive. If a newspaper could match every murder with the saving of a human life they would gladly do it, but oddly enough the truth that Shakespeare expounded over 300 years ago does not sink home to the lay mind that "The good men do is oft interred in their bones. But the evil lives afterwards," and consequently the front pages are filled with scandals, murders, lynchings, etc., while the good things, which, no doubt, they would like to print, wait on human nature among the multitude for expression. So the newspaper man, little understood and seldom appreciated, goes his way and in his heart he sings: The editors of The Bulletin- Appeal echo the sentiments of the writer and will conduct The Bulletin- Appeal along the same lines.

Girls entertained their guests at a unique circus dance Tuesday evening at Union Hall. Plenty of balloons and confetti were in evidence. Even pink lemonade refreshed the guests and hot buttered popcorn was sold on the grounds. The guests wore clown caps and had a real circus dance to music furnished by Clarence Brown. Pastor of Memorial Honored on Birthday On Tuesday Nov. 18th, there was a very unique party given in honor of the birthday of Rev. C. B. Burton, pastor of Memorial Baptist Church, at the home of Mrs. P. P. Phillips, 477 Patridge Ave. A full course dinner was served, which was in every way delightful. The table was beautifully decorated with fruit and flowers, a large cake in the center on which was placed 34 lighted candles. Those present consisted of members and friends of the church. Rev. Burton was the recipient of several tokens in honor of the occasion. Rev. Burton was seated in a large arm chair, and at the close of the party, and as the song, "Showers of Blessings" was sung, more than forty pieces of silver coins were showered on his head; this caused much laughter, as he tried to catch and secure each piece. The evening was much enjoyed by those present. As Rev. Burton was leaving this party at 10:45 P. M., and upon his arrival at his home, 944 St. Anthony Ave., at 11:10 P. M., there were 34 girls and boys of the Literary Club of the church waiting to greet him. He was much surprised and pleased to hear them sing their song of cheer and give their club yell, as he drove up. A large velvet cake with 34 lighted candles graced the table and special moulded ice cream was served, while musical numbers were rendered by the club members, after which all repaired to their homes having spent a very enjoyable evening, until 12:30 A.

Formed in Mill City We are pleased to announce the formation of a new company of local Minneapolis colored men who are putting on the market a line of hair preparations. These preparations are the result of many years of experience on the part of Mr. Richard Beaden, a Minneapolis man and a barber of high standing in the city. This company, known as the North Star Hair Products Co., with offices at 500 4th Ave. So., Minneapolis, is composed of young progressive business men of the Twin Cities and ought to be given encouragement. They are specializing in a product known as Beaden's Hair Wonder and from all reports it is the best hair preparation ever put on the market for the benefit of colored people particularly. We are sure any one dealing with them will get complete satisfaction, as we know the men who are behind the company, and we have faith in their integrity. At present they are only taking mail orders. The products sell at one dollar a bottle and any one desiring to try this preparation may do so by writing to North Star Hair Products Co., 500 4th Ave. So., Minneapolis, Minn. The company offers splendid inducements to energetic persons who would like to become agents for them.
