The Appeal

OME exceedingly clever *mind* *wiring* was done in Lincoln theater, where the people who witnessed the per- formances are still talking of the OME exceedingly clever "mind reading" was done in Lincoln a short time ago, and the people who witnessed the performances are still talking of the woman who mystified and amused them. Since going away from Lincoln, her manager has publicly announced that there is nothing supernatural about her work and that "anybody can do it if he disappointed to her." That will be a distinct disappointment here. We really believed that they witnessed exhibitions of genius clairvance. This admission that all of her results are secured by perfectly natural means and is good deal of inquiry among people who have witnessed over some of the things they saw. Conversation with men who have had some experience in such matters brings out the fact that while the work confuses some of the shrewdest folks who look into it from the outside it is all possible to understand the vantage point of an inside explanation. The methods used by "mental wonders" and "Mahatmas" to mystery an audience are more numerous than the fingers on your two hands. Sometimes all of the fingers are used to grip the hand and again circumstances will make it necessary for the "senseer" to confine herself to a single form of establishing relations with her patrons. One successful "White Mahatma" made a fortune in the business used as many as five or six principal means of getting people in the audience. It is futile to attempt to "expose" any of these performers, for when one method of work is described they immediately resort to another, and have a stronger hold than the other. In these exhibitions of mystery. Moreover, they are all so clever and so entertaining that their "show" is worth the price of admission even if the people they are to entertain the "mental work" is only a pretense to the ever cleverest lugged seen on the stage. The "Mahatma" goes to a city and remains at one of the theaters for one or two weeks. The company, so far as it is seen on the stage, is exceedingly busy and cannot afford to four people. As a matter of fact about a dozen belong to the company, and all are needed to carry out the work of entertaining and amazing the audience, varies, some companies bring theaters ber of entertaining acts, while others devote themselves mainly to "mind reading". When this part of the programme is over, the stage with a sheet over her head, and while in that condition declpers and answers questions written on paper by the people in the audience. No connection is made between the people in the audience and the performer on the stage. Often the "Mahatma" will very the proceedings by calling out the name of a person and saying that he wants to ask a certain question, which will be answered by the person which the person confesses that he did want to ask. Again the most intimate facts will be told about persons in the audience to their intense surprise. Now the audience will be asked what things that are about to happen. Some of these turn out to be true, and then the whole town will hear of them. Others will fail to come out as expected of these the public will hear nothing. The great problem is to carry knowledge of the questions back to the performer without detection. This is done according to explanations secured from various sources by simple methods, the use of a tape recorder, carbon boards and by passing notes back to the stage through the stage steps, or some convenient piece of furniture against which the men working in the stage carelessly lean while they are "resting." When the time comes to get the questions several man go into the audience and distribute pieces of heavy cardboard about an eighth of an inch in thickness about an inch in thickness and are used as desks by the people who wish to write. A few of these boards have concealed inside of them a piece of carbon paper and some white paper. They are put together so carefully that they are not supplied with carbon. After the questions are written on these boards they are taken back of the stage and ripped open and the questions are deiphered, written in a little book and put in the large numbers of people in every audience are wary of the boards circulated by the assistants. They write on the backs of the seats or on business cards or envelopes taken from their pockets. Large numbers of people in their pockets without showing the body, they are not answered for the reason that they cannot be. The assistant will manage to get the slip of paper if possible, and then will do one of two things. He will take the paper in his hand, and walk down toward the stage and lean in a careless way upon the "runway" that has been put in to the investigating committee of prominent citizens upon the stage. By the time the assistant he toads to this place he holds up a dummy paper just like it. He then leans as if tired upon the runway, managing to have his palm just over the little crack that has been left there for the little purpose. A boy concealed in a dummy paper pulls up to a room under the stage where a woman at a speaking tube reaching up through the stage floor to the ear of the woman under the tube. The question is read into the tube, the name is written on the back of the backpack back up through the crack and into the palm of the assistant again. Then the "Mahatma" says: "There comes to me the name of John Hickson. He wants to know about his mine in Montana. He has something like that the assistant deftly skims the other paper from his palm into his other hand opens it, and the man who wrote it is ready to testify on his oath that nobody saw him write the question and it has no answer." Another way of dealing with these another problems is to come along conservatively to a math who has made much progress. ten a question, and takes the slip. Without appearing to do so he glances at the question, and hands back the paper, say "I will not answer until it is answered," or "put this in your pocket, letting no one see it, but think all the time of the questions." While he is saying this the assistant is asking, "What is the name of the tablot in his pocket, using a short pencil and a sort of chirurgie that is understood by the people under the stage. At a convenient time he will go to his desk and write the question on his put his hand over the crack and the vigilant boy down below will have the question in possession of the performer in less time than it takes to write it. He will ask by someone who saw the show, "Did I write my question out at all. I wanted to ask one, but didn't. She called my name and gave the question. I wanted to ask, and correctly. How do you account for that?" This is one of the easiest and most mystifying tricks of the entire "mind reading" profession. The company has been down the names of people as they go in. The advance agent when with company and some of the other employees of the show mingle with the people, often attentive and interested in men and listening to their chatter. A lady will say, "I am just dying to ask what became of my diamond pin, but don't like to make myself conspicuous." The detective is around the tactile and ask for the name of that woman in the red dress just two seats on the other side of that post. The detective will know the name, will get it, and the rest is plain sailing. An effective method of securing private information concerning people in the audience is through the bundles of letters that go to one of every these "mind readers" in the audience every day. Women will pour out their feelings, "see" in letters. When they make particularly valuable disclosures the manager sends a printed letter saying that to mail is so heavy that it cannot all be answered, but that if the lady will accept the letter, she will pass the theater that evening to be answered. These passes bear private marks, and the performer knows when her correspondents are in the house. She calls their names, tells what their questions are, and answers them in the theater. The performer does not only personal information concerning the writer but also a great deal of information about other people which can be used with the greatest success in *mystifying* them and their friends, of these performers struck a bonanza, and of these performers not long ago. She received letters from a young man, his sweetheart, and another young lady, all in one day. These three letters dwellened together in the most complete manner, and it was possible to wonder wonderful work after reading them. Confederates are occasionally used in the audience to ask important questions. One of the ladies employed behind the stage will have a quarter of an hour with nothing to do. She will slip on a hat and cloak and enter the theater from the audience. It is assumed to a certain name and say "Yes," to everything that is asked. The name agreed upon is called and she raises her hand. "You want to know if you will see your husband soon?" "Yes, ma'am." "Your husband robbed a bank, and is in jail for twenty years." "Yes, ma'am." "You will not see him soon. He will not be pardoned." Burying her face in her handkerchief the poor woman goes out apparently overcome by grief, but in reality because she is needed under the stage. she are dozens of ways of getting knowledges, and is not enough for intelligent answers. An easy way to get hold of a slip of paper containing a question is to go to a woman who is deep in thought and say: "If your question has not been answered, let me hold it and help you to think." In nearly all cases the paper is handed over, only to be sent down under the stage way of the boy under the runway. It would require columns to explain the situation and certain entailments to mystify the public. If the carbon pads are exposed, the questions may be smuggled down under the stage as already described. If the runway is investigated, the questions can be copied in the pocket and sent around to the stage. If the questions are not the tube is talked about the performer may load her little book full of enough questions from carbon pads or her correspondence to last her a full evening, and she will have the committee move her chair to the stage. If speaking tube comes up from below. Sometimes the performer sits in the chair without a sheet, and with her eyes bandaged. In this case the information is whispered to her from behind through the hollow log and into the room from a hole at her ear. It is impossible to give a good entertainment with only one of these accessories in use at a single time. In the course of a week the members of the company will be able to pick up an astonishing amount of the city and they use every scrap of it to good advantage. They have been known to make friends with fortune tellers and mediums in order to get information from them about the private affairs of their patrons. Success in giving this sort of information means the means of fooling the people and the possession of a cast iron nerve when before the public. To manipulate the carbon boards and to send the questions down under the stage requires an enormous amount of time and obstrepe person cuts open a board and exposes the carbon paper, the usual thing to do is for the performer's assistant to slide the injured board under his coat, slip out another that has no carbon in it, and slide the person into the witness that there is no deception whatever. One of these "Mahatmas" could come to Lincoln-to-morrow and convince half the people in the theater that nothing printed, in this article as to their methods is true, even though it all comes from people who have actually been in the business. The statement of one of these men as "mind reading" may be of interest. He THE APPEAL. says: "If you go to one of the performances and write a question, do not write on your business, on your hobbies, or on anything personal to yourself. Write your question at home, don't tell anybody about it. You can be impossible for any of these wonderful people to tell what it is—Nebraska State Journal. Hot Steam for Train Robbers.

As to Tommy Atkins, I am inclined to think the most mempetable soldier in the world. He does not get $13 a month, does his Yankee cost, but he lives in such luxurious quarters, has so much attention paid to his wants in the way outdoor sports and outdoor recreation, is so gorgeously arraigned, so fervidly that one would suppose him devoid of complaint that the service is too short. One evening I went a round of inspection at the artillery barracks, the room of the Dane. We entered the room of the Dane. The place on the table were plied high with the mutton and curry and rice. The captain asked for an explanation, "Where were the boys?" The answer was that they Won't eat food, and they had gone to buy something else! I tasted the food; it was excellent. I would have made the mouth of an American regular water to have sat down to such a good supper—but proud young man took umbrage because his diet was too weak, enough, and he showed it in this way. There seems to be a great diversity in the British army in the size and strength of the infantry and this is a weakness in war. It is a glorious sight and the Guards are highlanders and the Guards about London. T, THE STRONG MAN like a piece of satin-finished ebony. He can take up a full barrel of whisky and drink from the bunghel, and he can throw a leg of beer into the air with one hand and catch it with the other, playing with it as it a play with a ball. the purposes of a campaign it is more important that all should reach a certain fair average. I have seen land at the Capa troops that needed several more inches about their bodies, and a few more years as well, before they could call themselves the soldier. Such men ultimately swell the skirt and have the strong, and in a war facing the Boers the strongest are none too good. The American soldier and his West Point officer are lonesome things—they have little in common with the social life of the United States, and feel that they exist by the caprice of congress. They appear in civilization at times of big games, when the no- lice have shrunk and some shooting has to be done. Then a company of requisites is ordered in. It gets pelleted by the police, and the marches back to its garrison without saying a word. Whenever a congressman tries to make a popular speech he attacks the police, it is safe, for the army does not vote often. "One of the silent 'regular' passages through a Northern town after the war, the police are emitting: 'Are you one of our heroes?' "No, maarm-I guess there's some mistake. I can't no-hero I'm just only a regular." Tommy Atkins needs more pay and less paycheck. There should be no necessity for wheeling him into the Cuban war whose colonel told me that every man in it had already served one enlistment of five years. They never had to recruit a man, and with a regiment of uniform which proved attractive! It used to force that war was necessary in order to get sailors for the British navy, and admirals now living have told me that once firmly believed in the press gang. 0-0-0 the blue bucket is a model of the British blue bucket or undue influence is needed to draw to the service. This war will no doubt lead to the conclusion in high quarters that Tommy Atkins deserves good pay quite as much as the riveter or the carpenter; the increased pay there is no reason to doubt that the official standard will be raised all around. There is a vice in the American system which appears to operate in England as well, and perhaps it is inevitable in a country where the English seem to be no adequate means, in times of peace, of determining as to who is fit to command in time of war. We see in England that the English are seniority, though all his friends know that he is physically up to do hard OF TEXAS.

Not long since he picked up a bar of railroad iron in each of the five steps forward and then backward to the place of starting: work in the stairs; that he has been kept ten or twenty years adding nothing to his professional capacity, but on the contrary has been undermining his forces by high living. Such men may have been military hence once upon a time, but that time was not long ago, now in positions where they may endanger the lives of our brothers. For instance, the commanding general at armies himself unit for any command in the field. For political reasons, given a best where he was able to do irreparable harm to thousands of brave men. I should like to show him in the suite of the German emperor: Now as to the Boer—the ideal "citizen soldier." Some of my friends who had large investments in the Johannesburg gold mines kept telling me, before the war, that the Boers were towards, that they would not shoot as they used to, that they would make terms as soon as the British showed on the horizon. These gentlemen prove that it is not safe to phobys through your pocketbooks. There are Boers and gold speculators, and there are gold speculators exist, and we are sorry that they do, sorry to discover that they have so much of our own weakness. But there are plenty of the other kind left, and that other kind is so much like the Boer, who are more attention than the flippant nothers hither-to thought adequate on the subject. The soldier in South Africa needs to be a bit of a Boer if he is not desirous of starving to death. Tommy Atkins at the age of 11 has lots to learn which the Boer has picked out. All Boer practice certain arts which are highly necessary if not indispensable to successful campaign in South Africa.

FOND MAN AT THE FLORIST'S C HE girl in the Broadway flower shop—the girl with the wavy chestnut hair and the very white hands that are astutely observed and mentally applauded when she pins the blithe decoration to the massele coat lail—lapsed into a reverie of words the other afternoon. "She said, in a tone that wasn't at all sorrowful, 'The poor诗者 are so very amusing and yet so unconscious pathetic that-well, do you know, I often think they, saving their presence—nothing pertaining to them, exactly right—all there-correctly adjusted—properly geared—on straight—" "For why?" "Oh, they do such funny things, and they do such very, very easy money. My little brother can't help it.

True, I only know of the fractionalness of the after from hearsey, but I have been here before. I have been blessed by the bleness of the before like I don't know my catchchism. Oh, they are so dead easy!" and the flower shop girl with the waviest chest hair picked up a loose shirt and defyly tucked it behind her left ear. "All of them, you know, are more or less mentally unengled during the before in came here during the now. A man who came here during the now, a couple of weeks ago-1 waited on him, for the propietor and all of the girls except myself had gone for lanceon and he was a man. He was seen. He was such a sensible, fine-lookman, too-a-giant from the West, with a bronzed face, and that fine prairie way of talking, like he knew he wasn't in church. He was so much a man in his words-so many New York men that dreadfully nowadays, don't they- and big, strong hands, and that sombrero of dress that makes you think of Harry Potter stories that you read when you were little. "Well, he walked up to the counter like a man does when he goes into a cigar at a bar. He caught sight of a bunch of bride roses that I was swaddling with white ribbon. "How much are those? he asked me. "Fifteen dollars a dozen," I told him. "How many dozen like that have you got to see?" he inquired. "About ten dozen," I replied. "All right—I'll take 'em," he said, and then he began to look at the other flowers. He saw a case of American Beauty roses as big as his chestnutmums he asked me, 'What's the figure for these? "How many dollars apiece," I told him. "Put about fifty of 'em with the others, he said. He then came to a tray of volutes. "How much? he inquired. "Dollar a hundred," said I. "Dollar of them?" "Thousands." "I'll take about 2,000 of 'em," he said. "Anything else? I asked him. Well, I don't know," he said, rubbing his chin, like a man in a quandy, 'What do you think?' "Well, I said, you already bought quite a few flowers, you know. What is it to be—dinner, 5 o'clock tea, ball, reception, wedding?" "No, it not a wedding—not just yet, anyhow, he said, hurriedly, blushing like a big schoolboy, 'Later, maybe. Hope so, and for a moment he looked so awkward and sheepish that I felt sorry for him. Then he shook himself together again." "No, it's not any of those things you mention. he went on in a confidential tone. I must want to send some flowers up to her house, you know. I'm only back here on a visit from the ranch, you know. I must want to send some flowers up to house last night, two or three bunches of flowers came to her from young snipes of Willie boys she seems to have become acquainted with since I went away. It struck me that I hadn't thought to send her any flowers—outfits are too far apart, and there's nothing but puffy flowers, anyhow, and so a fellow forgets, you see. And so I only want to send her up a few flowers." "A few!" said I, and I really couldn't help laughing. "Why, what's the matter?" asked the poor man, with an approving look on his big, good-natured face. "Haven't I picked out enough?" "Oh, quite enough," said I, "and just the right kind, too," and just then the proprietor came in, and the big man from the West handed him a $500-bill. The flowers were sent up to the home of a girl in a wagon. The announcement of the engagement was made in a few days later. Now, didn't he need a guardian? don't they all need guardians? Goodness gracious me, I do so pity the poor things!" and the girl with the wave chestnut hair again the pity she said she felt by her smilz. "And what you think of a man who sends flowers, and beautiful ones, too, to his wife every day in the year, Bundays and holidays included?" she went on. She had a collection of helotrophe ribbon. "Well, we have such a customer. He first came in here a little over a year ago and ordered an expensive box of flowers to be sent to the home of a lady who lives across from the house of a friend, whose name. After that he dropped in, rain or shine, every day, and selected a beautiful lot of flowers to be sent to the same Mrs. He, of course, never had any occasion to send flowers, but the course, none of us in the store dreamed that he was sending the flowers to his wife. So hopefully improbable, that you know. All of us girl decided that he was sending flowers to a grown man cultivated the good graces of an attractive widow, probably wealthy, and we wondered if she were good-looking and all that. One day, after he had been sending her flowers regularly for a while, she met the proprietor sent up a handsome basket of flowers to the address of the Mrs.' anyhow. The next day he came in.

"The proprietor looked at him in rather a puzzled sort of way. "Had I but known at the time of your wedding—" he began. "Wedding," said the regular customer. I don't believe I cue—" "Surely your marriage has been quite recent" the proprietor said, and then an exceedingly well bred chuckle came from our regular customer. He decided to decorate our house when we celebrate our silver wedding early next year," he said, between very broad smiles, and then he went out. He has been in every day since with his wife, and we write, and—and, therefore, presumably stands in need of a guardian? "Have I not just been telling you that he is married. And then the poor silkies—and then one in the before stage again—died young. I truly believe the girls when the girls tell 'em that they 'press every flower you send me in my copy of Tennison?' Actually big as it, they do. They never stop to think of the Domey Tennessee as big as the Domey Book has ever been published. 'How'll they press?' is the question that lots of the things ask me when they are pickling them and sent to the oldest ones. Oh, so easy. "There's a new fad in town that only recently got over here from London, I have been out outing it pretty rapidly here.

THE APPEAL, St Paul Minn. SATURDAY, JUNE 23, 1900. Recent developments in the Cuban postoffice troubles show that the retrenchments made by Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow were imperatively demanded by Postmaster General Smith some months ago, when he ordered that a system of reform should be immediately commenced in order that the expenses might then be reduced. President McKinley had ordered both the Director General of Posts and the Governor General of Cuba to obtain the approval of the Postmaster General upon all requisitions which showed a deficiency in postal management there. While reports have been made monthly to the Governor General, not a single report ever reached Postmaster General Smith, so in January last he began to investigate matters on his own account, finding that the expenditures were far in excess of the receipts. He then ordered retrenchment, but was not obeyed. The Washington Post, in an able editorial, contrasts the surplus of almost three hundred million dollars in the United States treasury at the present time, with the balance four years ago which was the result of bond issues in a time of peace. It also shows that notwithstanding the heavy war expenses that have been, and are being incurred, the surplus for this fiscal year will amount to about $65,000,000 as compared with the deficit of nearly $30,000,000 four years ago. It is pointed out that this is not the result of the war taxes alone, because, comparing the month of May this year with May 1896, there was an increase of almost $6,500,000 this year in receipts from customs alone. Money in the United States is cheaper than anywhere else in the world. At the market price in April, the average earnings for our 4 per cent bonds of 1925 were 2.244 per cent; for the 4's of 1907 the earnings were 1.857 per cent; for the 3's, 1.738 per cent; for the 5's, 1.452 per cent. German $3\frac{1}{2}$ per cents sold at 96$\frac{1}{2}$ to 97, and German $3$ at 86 to 86$\frac{1}{2}$, so that their earnings to the buyer were more than the interest stated. The premium on British consols is about 1 per cent, and on the French rentes 1 per cent, and their earnings vary a little above the face interest. The Treasury Department has used about $28,000,000 of its surplus, and will use about $25,000,000 more, in refunding high-priced bonds, thus making a saving in interest to the Treasury Department. On this account it was not deemed advisable to reduce the war revenue taxes at the last session of Congress. The Committee on Ways and Means, however, has obtained leave to sit during the recess, and should the present rate of surplus continue, a bill to reduce the revenue will be pushed through at the next session. We publish to day an oration which was delivered by Mr. Robert Ray McKay who graduated from the State University of Minnesota last week. It shows that the "Negro Problem" furnishes food for serious thought even among the youth of this country. And it proves that this nation is still able to produce such men as Garrison, Phillips, Sumner, Brown, Lincoln and others who acted as though they believed of one blood God made all men. We hope it will be carefully read as it is worthy of considerate perusal. Business evidently continues good in all the Western, Northwestern, Southern, Southwestern, and far Western states, according to Bradstreet's returns of the bank clearings for May and for the first five months of this year. In New York the clearings for May were less than in the same month last year, owing to the dull condition of the stock market. But outside of New York the returns from all sections of the country show that the bank clearings for May were $12,000,000 greater than a year ago. After consulting with substantial men in all parts of the country, Booker T. Washington, of Tuskegee, Ala., has decided to assist in the organization of a National Business League. The object of this organization is to encourage Afro-Americans through the central organization and local organizations to enter all avenues of business. The first meeting will be held in Boston, Aug. 23 and 24. Idaho fruit sold at the Chicago market in 1896 for just enough money to pay the freight. This year it has been sold at $1 per crate of twenty-five pounds, the freight being $1 per 100 pounds. Hay sold in Idaho at $2.50 per ton in 1896. This year it has sold at $5 per ton. Hogs sold there for 3 cents per pound in 1896. Within the last few months similar hogs have sold for 4% cents per pound. Just as we go to press the announcement is made that the Republicans of the United States, in national convention assembled, have nominated, by acclamation, the next president and vice-president of this great and glorious country, William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt. What more need be said? Our national prosperity is becoming more and more dependent upon a steady and large increase in our exports. This suggests that our continued dependence upon foreign ships for 90 per cent of our foreign carrying is a great national danger. The possibility of a great European war draws public attention to our almost entire dependence upon foreign shipping for our foreign carrying. Such a war would deprive us of ships and THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER SHEET STAGE FLOOR FOOTLIGHTS RUNWAY STEPS Capital alone can never form a trust. Without the co-operation of labor it is useless. Even capital and labor together cannot form a trust, because they need the consumer to use their products. A vote for a Democratic congressman means a vote for Free Trade, Free Soup, Free Silver, Free Bread, Free Poorhouses, and Freedom from Wage-earning. During the last ten years we have bought from foreign countries an average of 777,134 tons of sugar each year. Most of this has come from countries that buy little from us. The total amount of money in circulation has increased by 182 per cent in the last thirty years, and the deposits in savings banks by 327 per cent. American manufactured goods to the value of $40,000,000 were shipped to foreign countries last April. That is a record-breaker. The increase in our foreign trade is keeping pace with the formation of industrial combinations. THE CAFES IN VIENNA. They Are a Second Home to the People. Every one goes to them—men, women, priest and children. The cafe is the center of social life. It is there that the policy of the government is discussed, the latest play criticised and business transacted. At 4 o'clock in SHEET SPEAKING TUBE SE the afternoon it is with difficulty that a seat can be had in one of these popular meeting places, for at that hour every Viennese partakes of his artifice-ron coffee, which fills the place of the Englishman's 5 o'clock tea, says the International Magazine. These cakes are the regular reading rooms; some of them take as many as 500 different pastries, and often 15 copies of the same pastry some popular Austrian or foreign sheet-roll on a table. Let a foreign enter, and the experienced waiter immediately recognizes realtionality. If he be an American, a New York daily is brought to him; if a Frenchman, a Paris boulevard paper is laid before him, and so on. If a Russian enters, cigarettes are at once produced. Cafes are for the Viennese home, and they all have two kinds of clients, the stamgaste or habitues, the outfende or transients. The habitues, commonly called wiethu-bruder ('cafes are), have tables reserved for them, and wee betide the man who ventures to take possession of this sacred property! There are many Viennese who for the past thirty or forty years have sat at the same table, in the same corner, day after day, drink the new of beer or brand of wine, and smokes the beer or brand of tobacco in the same place, stamgaste generally spends from the four hours every day at his cafe, the rural result being a great loss of time and money. But the Viennese are not misly. They live up to the German proverb which seems to have been written on purpose for them: 'Leben und leben lassen.' (Live and let live). WARRIORS OF THREE TYPES. any on his own ground. But both can learn still more by studying the army, work of a small body of farmers who are buffing regular troops by adopting measures which show us that in the matter of patriotism, unity of purpose and intelligence, and the presence of danger, the Boers of to-day perform relatively more than any other nation in arms. If there is a lesson which this war teaches, it is that universal military service should be once adopted both in England and the United States—Pauline Biglow in The Independent. There are two worlds, the higher and the lower, separated by the thinnest of partitions. The lower world is that of questions; the upper world is that of answers.

At Hammel University Minnesota, June 7, 1900. A Wonderful and Timely Production to Emulate From the Head and Heart of one so Young in Years. There is no plainer truth than that a man's inferiority instead of giving his fellows the right to abuse and degrade him, is a summons from God for help and to raise him. There is no more abuse than pretense than that the peculiarities alienate the truth rights of a human being. No truth is more vultually incorporated in our civil institutions than that diversity of color creeped and. And yet before these plain truths, the knowledge, God was compelled to lay fiercile scourge upon this nation, stroke upon stroke, till the blood ran ROBERT RAY McKAIG, in torrents and cries of anguish were heard in every household. For many years after the civil war a bitter resentment prevailed everywhere in the South against the victorious North, but today that vengeful spirit is rapidly subsiding. That hated enemy and Dixon line" has also been obliterated. The black grays have fought again—not in opposing ranks, but fought by side for the same STAGE FLOOR ROOTLIGHTS RUNWAY ENDING QUESTIONS TO THE ST But during this period of peace and prosperity, while the uttermost ends of our country have been rejoicing, three of the leading Southern states have passed amendments to their constitutions, and the majority have whole of the colored race living within their boundaries. It is probable that two more states (North Carolina and Alabama) will join at an early date Louisiana, Mississippi and South Carolina in eliminating the Negroes from these amendments to the same amendments it is in the process of election judge to bar almost every black, be he intelligent or ignorant, while at the same time he may permit the white man to vote, even though he can neither read nor write. Such unfair practices as are followed in states to prescribe the qualifications of the suppressors to suppress them is a disgrace to this country that boasts so much of its worldwide civilization. Such a law does not solve the Negro problem, but only bequeaths it to posterity. Any amendment that puts integrity, intelligence and industry of the blacks below immorality, ignorance and cruelty stirs up such a feeling of race hostility that at the time of the next generation the difficulty will be harder to settle. Among the white men it will put a premium on illiteracy and make them indolent; among the Negroes it will enervate their ambitions and make them feel suppressed. The cruelful suppression of the Negro vote will breed ignorance, and that is always to be avoided, for nothing is so dangerous to a state as a submerged class. It contains Samsons who in the end will be feeling for the pillars of the state. The masing of ignorance is a blind force to be dreaded by any civilization. Rome, instead of adding life blood to her exhausted veins by taking the Northern Gauls into herself, discriminated between classes, kept the people in ignorance, and death became her reward. Spain, too, has pursued this same policy, and sent a harvest of dishonest officials, revolutions and lost colonies she has reaped. Repression may well be called the Egyptian theory of government. Pharaoh made long use of it and the whole world knows the result. The history of Ireland makes plain how false that Ireland is. It was tried for scores of years in Hungary and utterly failed. Repression has and will always fall—in family, work shop, school, church or state. This nation must heed the demand for justice, for if men raised in Christian communal and land from infant to respect freedom and respect the rights of foot the sacred right of the Negro to the ballot and the principle that underlies all our code of laws, the right of every American to trial by a jury of this nation will cease to be "the land of the free and the home of the brave." Intelligent Negroes have come to see that the solution of the race problem does not rest with any political party in power, but that the future of the Negro community depends on themselves to the environments of this age. Enable them to help themselves. Having secured a foundation of agricultural knowledge, let them turn their strength toward being the most skilled people in the world, helped to acquire such an education in farming, horticulture, dairying and stock raising as will place them near the top, and the race problem to a large extent is solved. Then, too, do they forget that they must secure a higher education they can hold their own in the pulpit, the press and at the bar. The Negroes must force respect from the whites, and this will be achieved by becoming their successful rivals in the various trades and professions. Representative Negroes of the South firmly believe that the best possible thing to be done is to have a restrictive halibut, but it must apply to both the people of the South and the people of an educational qualification. Even a property restriction would not be objectifiable if it was fair to both races. But no! The South will not have it that way. The demagogues continually criticize the South for pressured." These states in passing such a law have violated the constitution. In the faces of the American people they are flaunting that cursed doctrine of inequality, that they are unaware of the facts of the South and they dare boast of this fact in Congress. Only a few days ago, in the Senate chamber at Washington, replaying a question on this important subject, Senator Butler, of South Carolina, said: "We have the Fourteenth Amendment." These are the words and thought of the Southern politicians. And yonder they would place across the path of advancement this law of discrimination, that it is color and which says in words that need no 'interpretation' to the blacks. STEPS TAGE. “Thus far thou shalt go, and no farther.” This unjust law will not uplift the Negro, no! It will place such a mill-stone around his neck that all hope of ever gaining an honorable citizenship will be forever crushed. It will be locked until it is settled right. So whatever you form from politics; whether opinion they may have of the future; whatever relation they may have to the colored race there is one point absolutely certain; no problem concerning the standard and purity of morals and the right to vote; they black or white, savage or civilized, will ever stay settled by any form of oppression. To inspire and aid the Negro to secure a practical or a higher education; to push him forward in business ventures, to avoid the great injustice of the law, to realize the same that the law grants a white is the least and only honorable thing that can be done. The South has brushed away the tears and blood of the four years struggle, and the dirt and grime of the reconstruction period, and now must fix her eyes intently on this great question: Are the Negroes be disfranchised? They have obliged and docile race, quick to learn any industry. They love their friends and forgive their enemies far more quickly than the average white. Liberal and charitable are they to the last degree. No one will deny that their enemies have been granted the franchise in some of our states before they were scarcely able to utter one word of Englehman, but now they have always dwelt among us in a manner more cruel than we treat these foreigners? The Negroes are above the vagabonds that made Holland, and are as intelligent as the populace that more than once saved Rome. The path of success should be pointed out to the vagabonds of the nation in its infancy is by peril and difficulties, and we should add no more to the burden of the black man. What have they done that they should be so degraded? During the child stripped of its defenders? Whole South blacks insulted neither white woman nor child. No parallel in history can be found to the devotion of those slaves towards their master's family. For four long wary years theicted home remained in security. In the midst of the dusty multitudes the white woman walked in safety. A thousand torches in the hands of the blacks would have disbanded nearly every Confederate army. But, through the storms of temptation the Negro held in sacred trust the confidence in him by the far-off Confederate troops who were struggling, who were fighting, who were giving their life blood to tighten the shackles of their slaves. Surely a race that showed such devotion and fidelity during those trying to one generation. Dazed by his new-ness, Dom led astray by his so-called friends—the carpet-baggers—he may have committed some social crimes or political blunders but there certainly is in him a sure foundation on which he characterizes the character of a true American citizen from him his right to vote—he who was so faithful to his trust—lest you degrade the man, for Negro nature is only human nature "carved in ebony." In going to Paris via Dover and Calais the first sight of French soil is the small port of Calais, with its many bath houses, and the last you see of "dear old England" is the great chalk along the English Channel at Dover. As the side wheeler, vastly different from the great twin-screw Cunarders, gets in hailing distance of Calais each passenger gathers together his personal belongings and is escorted ashore waiting room, where on a long little waiting room, where on a long all hand baggage is opened and inspected by the French officers. It is needless to say that seldom anything is found durable among the belongings in this direction as the authorities say to be strictest on the return at the United States ports to find the durable articles. At this place the larger baggage is not inaccessible but goes straight through Paris. Arriving about 2 o'clock in the afternoon at Calais, after a wait of an hour, seats are taken in an apartment for seven on a train bound for Paris. The French cars are strange affairs with an Entrée at one end and "Sortie" at the other side as sleeper running down one side of the car and the apartments on the other side. Soon the signal is given, and after a few tugs and a toy-like whistle from the engine, the train is off and soon the speed becomes faster and faster compares well with our modern French railroads a speed on one of the French railroads a speed of 92 miles an hour has been attained by the express and mall trains. The farm scenes in France are very striking, and even though the land is not as closely cultivated as in England shows the industry of the French. The fine roads throughout France are one and stretch out before one for miles and wind on, on over hill and valley, under and over railroads, over beautiful streams, along the busy canals with the ever present canal boat, winding roads, through roads, out again into the fields, through roads, again, and on, on, on all roads leisurely toward Paris. Railroad crossings are so few they are not worth mentioning, and there are consequently no accidents at crossings. The roads either along roads, through roads, or track roads. Soon in the distance is a color—blue, white and red, which surmounts the first of the fortifications that surround Paris before the wall is reached. Then villages and farms pass by in rapid succession, and soon there are of empty, side-tracked cars tell that we are nearing the great city of Paris. The station is entered in about two hours after leaving Calais. Here at last at Paris is found a truly busy scene—Americans tearing the French balloon, Americans pulling at your luggage, and here you get your first good experience with the "Pourboire" system, for everyone who almost looks at you expects and must be prepared to pay only two souls (2 cents). On leaving the queer sightings you have ever seen you will witness them. The strange volutes (carriages) and the hackmen, in their patent leather "plug hats" or the leather "plug hats" black—the great numbers of the cabs, seemingly from 1 to 15,000, then there are those mighty three-horse omnibuses with the "upper deck. There is also that always glaring sign, "Com- After having worked your luggage through the customs officers and "tipped" about five of them for different attentions, you approach a cabby and ask you how you want to go making your best effort to " French self-taught." and such look of bevelderment comes over the face of the cabby as to make you think you have asked for his life, or some attention to his vision. Then he gives you such a look and you think he is about ready to fight then it is your turn to become confused, and wish you had left your French self-taught" in America. In a moment it occurs to you to bring up the name of your stopping place upon you and then you strike the combination by handing it to the cabban, and you then hear the correct pronunciation of the name of your "true." You are then tied to your place of abode and dismiss the fare and his extra porbore. You ask that you that he does not help you with your luggage, but you do not wait long before there is a porter on hand to take your luggage upstairs, and, of course, you then offer fee due for this service. You then offer fee due for the pension, or hotel, and as best you can you make arrangements and go to your room feeling so tired you could go right to bed. You happen to think you had nothing to eat since leaving London and you about 9 o'clock in the morning. Well, to the restaurant and secure a carte menu, and after a little struggle pick out bifteak aux pommes (beefsteak and potatoes), vin (wine), du pain (meat), and a little butter (and a little butter). After having your bill is two francs, or forty cents, and as usual, Garcon, the waiter, must have his two or three souls tip. After this meal you take a little walk, but do venture far, as it is a very easy matter while possibly able to ask your way, cannot understand the directions when they are given to you.

Brown, of Fuller street, Tuesday evening while their son and daughter, Nellie and Harry, charmingly entertained in honor of Miss Eda Grey, of Minneapolis, a recent graduate of South Side High School. Dancing was the chief feature of the evening, while those who did not thus indulge were enjoying the "Romeo and Juliet" bowers on the plaza. When the opportune moment presented itself refreshments were served, and at a late hour the guests, who numbered about seventy-five, reluctantly departed. The out-of-town guests were Miss Carrie Lindsay, of Stillwater; Miss Wells, of Anoka; Miss Allan, of Duluth, and Miss Colter and Harper, of Minneapolis. Some realize after message that the "apple of their eyes" is a valuable --- The Elks Midsummer Exposition and Carri- val. The arrangements made by the St. Paul Elks for their Midsummer Exposition and Carnival in St. Paul from June 18th to 30th renders it certain that all visitors will find infinite variety of amusements. First there will be a main street where there will be several hundred booths with a variety of articles on exhibition, music by bands, and free entertainment by professional performers for four hours each day. It only costs ten cents to gain admission to the street. The Midway is to be beyond the street disruption. It may not be found. The admission, however, to each is but ten cents, so that the whole entertainment is very inexpensive. TO WHOM THIS MAY CONCERN. Since the several raids by the police upon the denizens of Minnesota street and vicinity it has been rumored that the cause of the same was complain's made by Pettia & Dillingham. We wish to state most emphatically that the rumor is an unwarranted lie. PETTIS & DILLINGHAM. n Store for Ladies and Children of Minne- apolis. Mrs. Victor Webb, who for the past year has been in attendance at the in- firmary Partors of the N. I.

I am very glad to tell the American women all I can about love in Japan. I cannot express myself as well as I could wish, but I will tell you as well as I can. There is a difference between the manner of lovemaking in American and in Japan. In this country men and women love each other; it is a free custom. In my country—Japan no girl is ever allowed to declare her love as frankly as it is done in the western countries. On account of this custom Japanese women hide their love and become love-sick. Often they will die of love-sickness rather than confess their love. This must seem very curious for Americans to hear, but the difference comes from the fact that whereas in your country intercourse between men and women is allowed entire freedom, in our country it is not so. In America men and women are on such an equal footing that there is hardly any more difference than in the intercourse between man and man. In Japan there are many strictly established maxims governing the conduct of men and women to each other, one of which forbids a man or a woman to sit in each other's presence. After a girl and a boy are 7 years old they must observe this custom rigidly. Thus it is that men and women in Japan have no freedom in their relations. This marked difference in the relationship of men and women in your country and in mine makes more silent tragedy and a serious people. I could not tell which principles are the best, yours or ours, but I can say that there is a fair distinction in the purpose of yours and ours. The moral laws of Japan for our women are different from the laws that govern yours. Of course, I am not very well acquainted with the social conditions of your country and therefore can not discover the manner in which love reigns among American women. On the whole, however, I think love in Japan is very noble, sublime and sacred. ENOUGH WITHOUT HIM.

Ruler of Denmark Discusses Wages with Laborers. King Christian of Denmark has the reputation of being the most democratic despot as well as the best beloved king in all Europe. Notwithstanding that people like him, Englishmen, who are used to a monarchy, can not understand why in this environment the king rule over them in a way rather similar to that for which King Charles lost his head 250 years ago. King Christian chooses his ministers according to his own fancy, and not from the party that is in power in the Rigsdag. Danes sometimes object to this, but they seem to put up with it. As illustrating democracy of the king, one day was used to kill the king and unguarded, and he came upon a lot of workmen who had struck and who were discussing their grievances. "Let us ask the king what he thinks," said one of them. "Ja, ja," said the rest; and so they told him that they were not paid living wages, while their employers were rolling in wealth. They were not paid in wages, discussion and pointed out where they were right and where they were wrong. He told them that their employers were not as rich as they were supposed to be, and that the granting of shorter hours and more pay would ruin the industry of the kingdom. The workmen did not agree with their king. The workmen so, and for an hour the joint discussion and the joint convert, nor did they win over their king, and they parted in good humor.—New York Press. Nellie, aged 5, had two pets—a canary, which was a fine singer, and a cat. One day the cage door was left open and the cat was discovered in the act of swallowing the last morsel of poor birdie. Nellie gazed at the cat a few moments in sorrowful meditation and then said: "Mamma, will kiky have to sing now?" A Christian when he makes a good profession would he be the best profession good. It is to see many walk in the dark themselves who carry a lantern for others."Pecker MUST PAY. Subscriber Who Failed to Notify the Publisher to Stop His Paper. PUBLISHER to Stop His Paper.
