SATURDAY, MARCH 30, 1901. ‘The white ladies of St. Paul last week had a wrestling bout with the National Federation of Women’s Clubs. Mrs, Lydia P. Williams, state presi- dent, in opening the discussion of the color question urged the women pres- ent to keep to the merits’ of the ques- tion so far as might be, and to avold the pitfalls of sentiment. Mrs. Wil- liams herself succeeded in presenting the question quite upon {ts merits. An Afro-American club had been admitted Into the Massachusetts federation, and, later, into the general federation, Georgia and other Southein states had announced thelr inteption of seceding from the general federation were any ‘Afro-American clubs ieee ia Mrs. Williams thought ‘Georgia should Bot dletate to us not we to Gborsia, but that the question, could be best colved by reorganizing the generat federation. To this end Mrs, Willjams has prepared an amendment to the constitution. ‘This amendment gives each state the right to accept or reject ‘Afro-American clubs, but provides for the admission of Afro-American clubs A FISH STORY FROM THE NORTH. / Yi —£ . | @&@ Li yy ACS e Ve ee Zi 7 eS — ‘a ee ey ar Wi Dy es" 4 roe ez a Cc ose: / gp. —): Lt ; Bee te es ye v WW) By 3" : oS SEs a- cs one: state representation, The detailed provisions of the amendment are the appointment of two women from dif- ferent sections of the state, who, with the secretary of the state federation, shall form a committee on member- ship. All clubs receiving the approval of this state committee should be en- titled to representation in the general federation. Mrs, Williams referred to the ques- tion of social equality 80 often brought in evidence against the admis- sion of Afro-American women, She argued that it would be auite out of her power to confer social distinction upon Booker T. Washington, who had sat at Queen Victoria's table. It was, however, at the moment when social and civie equality was broached that all our think wires got crossed. ‘The Northern and Southern women were disagreed as to methods rather than convictions. Mrs. Williams remarked that whatever the decision was in the next biennial it would be a decision ot the North over the South for the mem- bership of the former so far outnum: bered the latter. Murs. C. P. Noyes thought that senti- ment should not be left out-of the dis- cussion. She felt very strongly that there should be no discrimination in color. For twenty years before the Civil War the South had controlled the North by its threats of secession, but the struggle ‘had come and its result had removed all, right on its part to dictate to the North. She could not see why a point should’be made of the color of a woman's skin to keep her out of an organization, Mrs, Henry James did not believe that the Southern clubs would remain in the federation if it adopted such an amendment, as Mrs, Williams offered. Besides much’ was being done for the Afro-American women in the South by the white women, and by themselves. “I do not think that, the Afro-Ameri- can women stand in any great need of membership in the general federa- tion,” added Mrs. James; “They have their own clubs and their own federa- ted bodies.’ This was a question, Mrs. James thought, that had been simply forced upon them by Massachusetts. Mrs, Judson Wade Bishop had heard much of the matter during a recent stay in the South, and she felt certain that to incorporate” such an amend- ment into the constitution of the gen- eral federation would be to wreck it. The Southerns women would certainly secede. Mrs. George C. Squires felt. that it the Southern women had not yet ad- vanced far enough to accept 80 liberal an amendment they should be allowed to secede, : ‘We thank God that there are at least afew white women who do not find fault with their Creater because in His divine wisdom He saw fit to make some of their sisters of a darker complexion than thelr’ own, and are willing to allow these darker- hued sisters an equal chance in this world. . eis a } ‘TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY, | drustist road the money ie fang ts coe So'ks W Groves sgnainie on tach bon.

Gh * WY Cas ee Ga : soe | THE APPHKAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER. ‘The present city campaign has been one of the most remarkable contests in the history of Chicago, Three weeks ago it seemed to be a foregone conclusion that Mayor Harrison would be re-elected with but. little trouble. The hue and cry raised immediately after the Republican city convention, that Judge Hanecy was the mere tool of the so-called bosses, made it appear then that he would be completely routed at the polls. The defection of John M, Harlan and his friends was thought to be a barrier against the Judge's success, And so thoroughly had Carter Harrison entrenched him- self behind the traction question—ta- voring large compensation to the city ‘and short term franchises—this made peers Foeeanee a < he Fimins Wy /) _ MILLINERY | ef LIBRARY Be a ern rh Street.

Judge Hanecy’s most intimate friends and admirers were alarmed at the situation at the outset. However, the Judge himself entered the field bodly and defiantly and after three ‘weeks of earnest campaigning he finds conditions so changed and the people so pleased at his presentation of the various issues, that his election is now looked upon as almost a certainty! He has bodly pleaded for civic puri- ty and honesty; condemned the vice and crime so prevalent under the pres- ent administration; boodlers and grafters have been unsparingly_de- nounced, in short, his terrible arraign- ment of Harrison and Burke methods has so aroused public indignation that every day now witnesses desertions of honorable Democrats from the ranks of the gangsters. Detective Page eee Judge Hanecy has completely.’ re- moved the mask from Carter Harrison on the street railway franchise-ques- tion. “He has pictured Harrison dodg- ing behind this question for four years, without doing a single /act beneficial to the people.” And above ali things Judge Hanecy has, by his earnestness and great ability, convinced the people ‘of Chicago’ that he can and will en. force-a settlement of this vexed ques tion upon a basis satistactory to th public, THE APPEAL is conscientious i the belief that the affairs of this grea municipality will be managed in : safe, honest and businesslike manne under Judge Elbridge Haneoy's admin istration, and therefore, would mos earnestly urge every voter to go to th polls on next Tuesday, and use al honorable effotts to elect him, to thi fedponstble office! ‘The famous estate of George W. Vanderbilt, “Biitmore,” with an area ‘of 147,000 acres, near Asheville, N. C., unquestionably the finest private es- tate in the United States, is marred by a little wedge-shaped farm which pro- Jects into it near the chateau, and is ‘owned by an Afro-American who re- fuses to sell except he is paid a very large sum. It is a pity, to spoil the regularity of beautiful Biltmore, but Mr. Vanderbilt might just give the oor old fellow the extra dollars want- ed and make him happy. This shows the Afro-Ameticans the advantage of owning ground; it sometimes gets tc be very valuable, Booker T. Washington is doing 1 great work in his fund-raising for the benefit of Tuskegee Institute. As a re- sult of the meeting held in New York last week $20,500 was secured, includ- ing $10,000 from Mrs. C. P. Hunting- ton, which may be used for the en- dowment fund.’ Towards the $25,000 for current expenses, necessary to be secured before the gitt of $10,000 prom- ised by the women of Brooklyn is available, $13,800 have: been received. ‘THE APPBAL has heretofore given ‘good and satistactory reasons why the Republican South Town ticket should be supported by the people and we again remind Republicans of the fact that they have a splendid tlcket in the field and they should not hesitate to vote for it. Lawlor, Norris and Jef- ferson should receive the solid support of South Town Republicans. Vots the whole ticket, President McKinley has show8 his recognition of genius or talent even though the possessor wears a darker skin than himself.

The white people of St. Paul a few months ago used to run when they saw an Afro-American approaching them. They thought they all had the small pox and that it was a disease peculiar to Afro-Americans. Now the whole state is excited over the prevalence of the disease among the whites while the Afro-Americans are comparatively tree from it.

BECAUSE SHE LOVED HIM SO. At the Grand Opera House, St. Paul. "Because She Loved Him So," which will be seen at the Grand the coming week commencing Sunday night, is without the slightest trace of impropriety. The complications, although diverting in the extreme, are absolutely innocent, refreshingly so, in fact, when we recall some of the risque indignities of French farce seen in this city in the past. It is quite likely that the original comedie extolled once the role of Mr. Gilchrist has eliminated any objectionable feature without weakening the comedy as a whole, a feat which is usually beyond the skill of adapters. Perhaps it is not too much to say that he has added several clever, original touches, since the crisp humor peculiar to all his work is in evidence. However, as this may be, the comedy in its present form must take rank in purity, finesse and artistic treatment we. "A Paul's Spectacles" that is strongly recalls, sensing any identical complications, and any play good enough to receive such a comparison possibly deserves both consideration and respect. That "Because She Loved Him So," will be played in an excellent manner may be judged from these names in the book. The actors ever gathered: Clara Dickey, Thomas David, Effe Gormon, W. H.

The British and the Boers at Pieters Hill were crouching behind bowlers scattered over a wide surface. The moment a man on either side emerged from his cover he was at once the target of the enemy's bullets. A Boer, partly, it seemed, in bravado, made a sudden sally to join a neighbor. An Englishman who had long watched the rock and was becoming sick with hope deferred, took aim and brought the daring one down. So delighted was he with his luck that he threw himself on his back behind the shallow shelter of his bowler and kicked his heels into air. In his transport his heel rose above the rock, as he was instantly made aware by a bullet transfixing his glittering ankle.—New York Tribune. Mert in itself is modest. US BEAST.

A Mummified Daughter of Rameses II Auctioned Off Unlike good wine, princesses of ancient Egyptian lineage do not appear to increase in value with time; at least, that was the experience of one of the daughters of Rameses II, when she was offered at auction by Mr. J. C. Stevens at his well-known rooms, King street, Covent Garden. Perhaps this was because she was unable to put the dots to the i's and the crosses to the t's of the auctioneer's eulogy of her various interesting points, a circumstance not to be wondered at, considering she has been dead and mummified since, circa, 1333 B. C. But in spite of her antiquity, the eager crowd of bargain hunters at Mr. Stevens' wonderful sale probably knew more about her, in some respects, than she had ever known herself; for the X-rays of modern science had been brought to bear upon her ceremonies, with the result that photographs of the body beneath had been obtained showing the position of the bones. In spite, however, of this, there seemed to be no particular demand for her remains, and if her spook happened to be pervading the fragrant neighborhood of Covent Garden at the time it must have had its feelings hurt at seeing the "lot" go for ten guineas. Rameses II, is reputed to have had a good many children, but that would scarcely account for the fact that a daughter of him, who stole men's hearts nearly thirty-three centuries ago, should have fetched only ten guineas. And she was remarkably well preserved, too, and inclined in a neat casket.—London News. From a Small Beginning. Some interesting facts regarding the coffee tree have been printed recently. The native home of this plant is said to be Kaffra, in southern Abyssinia. It was not until it had been in use for centuries by the Arabians that a plant was carried to Java. In 1706 a tree from Java was sent to Amsterdam, and when it flowered and ripened seeds a young seedling was presented to Louis XIV. From this plant seedlings were sent to Martinique, and from these plants again seedlings were sent to Jamaica, Cayenne and San Domingo; while from Amsterdam plants were sent to Surinam. In fact, it was from the one plant, sent from Java in the beginning of the eighteenth century by Governor General Van Hoorn, that everything in the French possessions and West Indies sprang. In this way has traveled the progeny of the original coffee plant, introduced from Arabia at the end of the seventeenth century. YERXA Bread, Pies and Cakes are made here pure.

More Sailing Ships Than Steamers Being Built In Scotland. It is frequently said and written that the steamship has driven the sailing vessel off the sea, a statement so far devoid of truth that nearly half the world's freights are carried in sailing vessels and a full half of the tonnage of ships built the last year is to be propelled by the wind. This may seem a surprising fact, but it is only necessary to turn up Loyds' list to prove it. That it is not more generally recognized is largely due to the fact that personal interests are wider with reference to passenger vessels and the carrying of mails. The larger fleet of sailing vessels is made up of small craft and coastwise traders, such for SCOTLAND WOOD ...THE BIG All Suits o Made t 47 STORES IN AMERICA NO MORE $ .....FROM MIL Minneapolis Store: SCOTLAND WOOLEN M ...THE BIG TAILOR All Suits or Overcoats Made to Order.

Although Baltimore is the fourth city of maritime commercial importance on the Atlantic coast, 60 per cent of the tonnage coming into that port is made up by this fleet, of which a sail is rarely seen outside of the tributary waters of the bay. In deep water commerce, except between the ports which are connected by regular lines, the preponderance of sail tonnage is even greater, says the Philadelphia Times. In the Lloyds' report just issued it is shown that 70 per cent of the tonnage coming to Calcutta last year was under sail, and not in small ships, either, but great four-masted, skysailly steel ships of 3,000 tons measurement. In the matter of shipbuilding a trifle over one-third of that built in America were sailing vessels, some of them schooners of four and five masts, carrying up to 4,000 tons dead weight. But in Scotland on the Clyde they are building more sailing ships than steam vessels.

The rising price in coal is another serious matter for steamers, and this revival, which may seem to be a backward step, has, in fact, no such quality, but is rather the movement of trade in the most propitious channels open to it.

In some varieties of this invaluable grass a mineral substance composed of lime or silica and potash is frequently discovered, being formed, it is supposed, owing to some kind of disease in the juices or stem of the plant. In the course of time, says the London Mail, this deposit hardens and forms the famous "tabasheer" of the natives, which exactly resembles the opal in appearance, and is, according to Prof. Brewster, of precisely the same character and composition. The Chinese, however, know nothing of its value as a precious stone, but collect tabasheer simply for its supposed medicinal properties. Unfortunately, some of the most finely marked and colored specimens of these vegetable stones are exceedingly fragile. It may be mentioned that in none of the varieties of the bamboo yet raised and found hardy in this country have any traces of a deposit of tabasheer at present been discovered, so that any one who contem- ER WEEK YMENTS Sixth and Wabasha Streets, St. Paul. $3.50 INVALUABLE GRASS: THE APFEAL A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER ith these low priced beauties. it' s easily tasted see the hat plates the establishment of a bamboo plantation in England for the purpose of opal raising is recommended to invest his capital in some other way.

They now have the distinction, possibly not an enjoyable one as mules go, of drawing a car on the only mule line in the Indiana city. But if the thoughts of these easy-going beasts could be read, it is probable that they would express regret at their fall in life, for they were formerly employed in no less a capacity than as guards at the Indiana Reformatory. When Superintendent Hert leased a farm upon which to employ idle convicts he purchased the mules on account of their color. Prisoners on a convict farm always have opportunities to escape and observation had taught Mr. Hert that an escaping prisoner usually detested walking. But who would attempt to escape on a white mule? That would be folly, for the animal, if not the prisoner, could be traced anywhere. Experience proved that Superintendent Hert's reasoning was correct.—Louisville Courier-Journal. Mud Thrown at Englishman. "Mud was thrown at me several times in Spain a few weeks ago because I was an Englishman," says Mr. R. Sainborn, a young gentleman from London. "Finally, when I went to the bank for some money, I asked the director the reason for demonstrations of hatred against Englishmen, and he informed me that it was because of the reports, disseminated by the Spanish newspapers at the time, that there would have been no war with the United States but for England's refusal to join the powers in intervention."—New York Letter. Planned by Humboldt An interesting mining operation is being completed this month in the Guanajuato district, famous as the richest mining territory in Mexico, in unwatering the Sirena gold mine, which, after being worked by the Mexicans since the year 1550, has been flooded and abandoned ever since the Mexican war of independence in 1822.

CASH OR CREDIT remembered ever having heard that anybody had been missed in the mine. The Sirena is the first of the old mines in the district to be unwatered. The project is carried out by a New York company, and it indicates the new channel in which modern mining methods in the old districts run. The company counts on making an immediate profit by going over the old workings and treating the ore out of which the Mexican miners with their mule power and hand labor could obtain no paying results. Electricity is being used where mule power failed, and when the water is all out of the mine the workings will be driven deeper than the Mexicans could ever have dreamed of operating them. The same method is now being undertaken man syndicate has acquired the famous Valenciana mine in the same vein, out of which many millions have been taken by the Mexicans. Another mine in the Veta Madre vein, which runs through the district, yielded the king of Spain $17,000,000 in royalties. The unwatering of the mines has been discussed since the time of Humboldt, who had a project for doing it by driving a tunnel twelve miles long into the vein, but it is only now that American enterprise has given a start to the work.

They romp about the yard together and now and then the cat will climb a tree. The dogs of the neighborhood have learned to keep out of the Jones yard.

The cat bristles up at once and makes it so interesting for the intruder that he is always glad to scale the fence and get in the street. Pity the Poor Hooligan. Hooliganism is now becoming a recognized power in London, and philanthropists there are busily engaged in considering how to alleviate his sufferings.

They say that this state wagon has a demoralizing effect upon the outrageous ruffians, and the uncomfortable corners of its compartments so exasperate them that at the end of the journey they are impervious to the chaplain's exhortations, and become hardened in their sin. Therefore the aim of these sentimental philanthropists is to abolish Black Maria.

Mothers in Many Varletless A mothers' club of twenty-five matrons, of Chicago, adopted a street gamin of eleven years, and set about making a useful member of society of him. The boy stood it for a few weeks, taking directions from his twenty-five mothers, not infrequently pointing in twenty-five ways. Finally recollections of the one mother he had elsewhere in the city came upon him, and he ran away and found her. Thereupon he informed his twenty-five foster mothers: "I ain't no twenty-five kids, and I ain't going to be good no Wellington ROUTE Can Traveler Says: Wellington Route dining car than on any d.

Upon entering any harbor where the channel is marked by buoys, you will find that those on your right are red, those on the left black. One painted in red and black horizontal bands warns the mariner to run as close as possible to it, while those with red and black vertical stripes mark the ends of spits and the outer and inner ends of extensive reefs, etc. Red and black checkers on a buoy mark either a rock in the open sea or an obstruction in the harbor, with channel all around. There are other directions indicated by the painting of a buoy which are too numerous to mention here. as the air you breathe. Anything we have is yours on the easiest of easy terms.
