The Appeal

VOL.17.NO.19. HOW HIS SAVED THEM AFTER BEING WOUNDED AT FORT BENNING SHARPSHOOTER AFTER HIM Bullet Hit Him Below the Knee, Which Caused Him to Stumble —One of the Marines Killed. Cant. D. Evans, in the Philadelphia Post. As we approached the remains of the stockade I was aware that one particle in shroud shattered was smashing at me, when we were moving away, hit me in the left leg about three inches below the stockade 'The force of the blow was so great that I landed on my face in the sand. I goot a silk handkerchief out of my pocket, and with the kind assistance of my classmate, Hohan Sams, soon again went to the 'font as fast as I could. I trooped this time the men were sampling over wires that they cut with their knives—they proved to be wires to the fire, but they failed to explode. My left leg seemed awkward, but I was able to use it. The stockade, or what remained of it, was very near, and I determined to lead my company by the stockade through a break in it, and then charge over the fire. I was very difficult to climb. I managed to get through the stockade with seven others, when my sharpshooter friend sent a bullet through my right knee, and I realized. I tried to stand up, but it was no use; my legs would not hold me, and, beaten, I tried to stand up, and I knew that I was a matter which had to be looked to. I heard some one say, "They are retiring?" and, looking at the rear of the columns and retreating, All the officers, in their anxiety to be first into the fort, had advanced to the rear of the columns and steadied the men in behind; and it was in this way we were defeated, by the men breaking from the rear. Two minutes later, the men parapet, and then—nobody can guess what would have happened, but surely they were treated down theench they were retreated up and put into the trenches to oppose Bragg, and these served until after they were woken up, when we went inside the stockade all were down; one, the color bearer of my company, was half way up the par- during when he received his death wound. With the right knee be at once to stop the flow of blood. I used for the purpose of one of the half-dozen skin handkerchiefs I was so tired and weak from loss of blood that I was some time in doing the trick. In the meantime my sharp-shooter continued to shoot at me, at the same time addressing me in very forebear but uncompetitive language. At the fifth minute he tearing off the one of my toes, tearing off the sole of my shoe and wrenching my ankle dreadfully. He continued to shoot at me, an ankle, the pain was so intense. For some reason, I don't know why, this shot made me unreasonably angry, and, rolling on the floor, I addressed a few brief remarks to him; and then, just one of them handed him a freshly loaded musket. I fired, and I should have killed him if I shot at him, but had not intended to do so until he little high, striking the poor choke in the throat and passing out at the back of his neck. He staggered around after dropping his gun, and finally pitched over the back of my boat, Campbell by name, who had a canister ball through his lungs, and was evidently bleeding to death. He gave it to Dr. James, another shot. He was dead almost before I could tell him that I was beginning to require any further attention from us. One of the marines from the Powhatan, a splendid fellow named *Wamouth*, came through the stockade, gathered me on the deck, and about fifty yards dropped me into a pit made by a large shell. Here I was entirely protected from the fire of the enemy, but I could take cover, but he said each time: "The bullet has not been made that will kill me." I was very drowsy and almost dead, but I was able to third of a bullet, and looking up, I saw Wamouth with his hand to his neck, turning around and around, and the blood spattering out in a steady stream. I was able to cutting the fugular, and in a few minutes he dropped in the edge of the surf and was able to skim the certainly was an honor to skim an uniform. After Wessmouth was killed I soon fell asleep, and when I woke it was some time before I could recall my surround- in which I was lying was nearly full of water, which had about covered me and was trickling into my ears. I could see near, and the thought came to me that I could swim off to her if I only had a lilt of plank or driftwood, but this I would not be able to see. I should soon be drowned like a rat in a hole unless I managed to get out some- how. Dead and wounded men were lying in the water, and I helped to lend me a helping hand. By this time I could not use my legs in any way, and when I dug my hands into the sides of the sand, I could see the sand gave way and left me still lying in the water. Finally I made a strong effort and ruffled myself inside a marina a short distance away; nicely covered by a pile of sand, and diving very deliberately at the fire. I called to him, and he declined on the ground that the enemy's fire was too sharp for him to expose himself. I persuaded him with my second he had me in a place of safety— that is to say, safe by a small margin, for when he fired the enemy's bullets within a few inches of our heads. If the marine had known that my recollection possibly be fired, I suppose I should have been buried the next morning, as many people would have been able to could reach some cartridges from a dead sailor lying near me. I loaded my recollection before the job was finished. About 9:30 o'clock that might. Capt Greece, who commanded the brigade succeeded in getting a lifeboat in through, the heavy surf breaking on the beath, the tumbled into her, while the crew stood in the water holding her head on to the shocky after daylight signal was made on board to the men on board to the Santiago de Cuba. After a very comfortable trip, all I felt at daylight, I folk at daylight in the morning, and hauled alongside the wharf at the Naval hospital and I found myself on a comfortable in a large, clean-looking ward. I slipped my resolver under the pillow, and, pulled up, I stood by the bed to sleep and did not awake until so o'clock that night. The surgeon in my room was standing by the kiddes, and after a careful examination of my wounds they retired to the end of the room for consultation, and senior one say, "Take both less off in the morning." I did not get much sleep that night but I did do some very seri- Will Be One of the Most Picturesque Spots at Buffalo. "Alt Nurnberg," the German village as the Pan-American expedition, will be one of the most picturequeues spots on the earth. The museum, which has retention has been paid to the architectural reproductions of buildings in the famous old city of Nurnberg, and to visitors who have seen the originals, they will many associations of the Fatherland. The main entrance is a reproduction of the old "Nassau Hauser" and one of the originals, the entrance entering the village, is St. Moritz church, with its quint windows and doors. Nea-it is the Frauen tower, in which Frauenplatz is located, and will show her artistic productions or paintings in the galleries of the old world, by use of the stereotype. These representations are faithful, even to the details which is a secret process of Franklin Stoll's. Another artistic feature, is the reproduction of the home of Albrecht Duerer, the famous painter, who did his greatest work of the seventeenth century in the studio, and in making the scene more realistic, and the old Bratwurst Gloeckle, where Duerer and Hans Sachs, the poet, met in the evening of the day represented in a do faithfully represented. In fact, 'Alt Numberg' will be a place where the exposition visitor, be he native German, German-American or German-Bavarian, spent within the medieval wall that surrounds the entire spot. The Tenth infantry regiment band of Bavaria, headed by the royal Bavarian handmaster, will furnish the entire place every day and evening during the term of the exposition, Luchow's Panzermanagement of A. Wahi, the personal management of A. Wahi, the famous place on Fourteenth street, New York, has provided for the demands of the lineman man, and will be well stocked with German Americans and their friends. One important point in connection with "Alt Numberg" is the fact that outside of the charge of admission to the village itself, there are no drains on the ground, the many features within.

Palmer and his party arrived at that hour and occupied the platform facade, where the great gathering were gathered thousands of natives dressed in their brightest garments. This two Indians, wearing the olive-colored hood, held out in from of the spectators cages containing brilliant plumaged birds as large as American quails. They were few at each other and began a ferocent contest. This combat lasted only a few minutes and then other attendants came in and tried to scare them. After that about twenty deer of the species called blackbacks in India were tied up. The blackbacks are not so large as the common deer found in the mountains of New York state, but they are armed with large bolted rifles and large corkscrew. The anthers are usually two feet along on an average deer. Each deer has a large orange or other side of it. Hopes thirty feet long were fastened to the deer's head, and in this way the men were able to escape into the crowd of spectators.

There were three or four ram fighters and then a dozen large deer were led out. After them a score of wild boars, a few of which were securely held with ropes.

They fought most easily before they could be treated troubles the separate boars. Two gigantic black buffaloes, sleek and fat, with their mighty horns, pair 1 a 2 and then came upon the field. They walked forward, fashion until they caught sight of other, and then they trotted, bellowing loudly. They they fought wickedly for ten minutes and then dragged apart by a score of men. The entertainment ended with a lance and a pair of native horses, edged a pair of splendid horse heads to maharajah. The extraordinary feature of this bout was that no matter how few lances were used, they were about the points of the combatants were always kept pointing toward each other. The maharajah of Jeypore is one of a type of the native Indian rulers. He maintains an immense establishment in the pink and white city. The palace itself is not especially imposing. But the grounds about it comprise many acres of the maharajah has five wives and some 200 horses. He is a wealthy man. His stables are secretes of fine Arabian horses, mostly white, and this princely ruler had a great herd of well trained elephants, but many of them were killed by a disease not long ago, and he The Maharajah, like all native men of consequence, has been fond of hunting and has shot many a tiger and leopard, palace are more than a dozen tiger skins while couches are covered with the linear animals, the animals the attendant sold, were used to carry the Maharajah himself. When asked about their hunting, an English sportman here said he hunted a tiger for 500 rupees. He meant that he would engage native hunters, guides and elephants for the chase. The same gentleman said, "Only vicereos, maharajahs, princes and generals hunt tigers in these days with elephants. The sport is too expensive for most of us, but the man who kills tigers to secure their skins for the market—has an easier and safer method. Such hunters tie a goat to a tree, and the tiger is supposed to live, climb into the branches above the living bat and play the royal game. "The tiger's loyal glove and cone at night to catch him, and the hunter, sate from harm, sees the shivering animal, and shoots him. Oh, we do want this a very high order of sportsmanship, but it is quicker than riding an elephant or a hot jungle in pursuit of the game." A local newspaper a few days ago told a tourist that a tiger had killed thirty-two people in rural India. The last victim was a man who was working in a field. The tiger crept through the tall grass until quite early, then prey. After killing the man the tiger ran away. A native hunter secured a gun went and sat down by the body of the tiger. A clock in the evening the tiger returned for his victim and was killed. All hunters here say that the man was longer active enough to catch wild animals for food. Hunger drives them toward the settlements, where they live and sheep and cattle and also human beings. The natives' fear of these monsters of the jungle is clearly exasperating. The bite is as bad as eighteen discourses. Tigers still kill hundreds of people in India every year, but the number is so small that the snakes. The official reports published by the British government show that for the year ending Dec. 1, 1804, snake bites the death of 2,102 persons in India.

SATURDAY, MAY 11, 1901. It seems that white women have more courage of their convictions than the men on the color question. When they make up their minds to not draw the color line they do so boldly. Once in a long time some white man marries an Afro-American woman, but much more often do the women marry Afro-American men. The latest alliance of that kind occurred recently in Philadelphia, when Miss Emma Bethel, a prime favorite in the exclusive circles, joined her lot with Mr. Howard Lee, butter for her uncle. After the death of her father and her mother, whose fortunes she inherited, Miss Bethel went to live with her uncle, John C. Uhle, a prominent Philadelphia. She was a liberal contributor to the Episcopal church, which she attended, and was active in the work of the parish. In her uncle's house she first met Lee, the tall butler, who had been trained in several Washington families and had acquired polished mannequins and address. From the first he interested her, and at last some blinds reached the ears of her relatives and Lee was discharged. Miss Bethel soon afterward an ```markdown ``` SENATOR MARCUS. A. HANNA.

Tommy—I wants to raise more of em nounced her intention of purchasing a summer residence and living by herself. She bought some property outside of Hammonton, N. J., and had many of her goods taken there from Philadelphia. Then Lee appeared, and at first it was thought that he was Miss Bethel's coachman. But one evening the two walked together to the residence of the Rev. Mr. Albrum, a Methodist minister, asked to be married, and he united them. Mrs. Lee said to one who interviewed her: "Who sent you to see me, I should like to know? I am aware that my marriage don't suit my family, but it was my own business, and I don't see why other people should interfere. I have the best man on earth for a husband. He doesn't drink, smoke, nor chew, and he wouldn't touch a playing card." And she was right. 'Twas another case of love going where it was sent, and whose business is it but Mr. and Mrs. Lee's?' From a picture which we have seen Mrs. Lee is pretty enough to take her pick from all the men of her acquaintance - yes, and it seems she did so. During his trip, among other things the President was able to see some exhibitions of the hellish prejudice which exists in the South. At Austin the Afro-American military company wanted to march in the procession, saying that the President had come to Texas as much to see their race as to see the white people. The white soldiers would not march in line with them, however, and the Afro-American soldiers had to go off into a side street and wait until the President passed along. At Prairie View, Tex., where the President stopped for twenty minutes, is located the industrial school of the Afro-American. There is practically nothing in the neighborhood but Afro-Americans, and the President went there particularly to pay them a visit. He found the white people in charge, the Afro-Americans even being kept off the platform, where the ceremonies took place. What fools these color prejudiced white mortals be! Prof. Richard M. Robinson has been employed as teacher of music in public school No. 20, New York City, for nearly twenty years. A new charter amendment makes all special teachers assistant supervisors. Eighteen schools were assigned to Prof. Robinson, and because he is an Afro-American the principals of the schools THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER and the teachers, too, kicked, but John Jasper, superintendent of the school board, says Prof. Robinson was regularly appointed assistant supervisor of music for the eighteen schools because of his qualifications for the position, and that under no circumstances will the color line be drawn in the department. Superintendent Jasper says that he proposes to uphold Robinson in every way as long as he deserves it. Long live Sup. Jasper! We have heard of Chinese being permitted as a special favor of the officers of the law, to commit harl kari. But we never heard of an accused criminal getting a deal such as was given to an Afro-American who was accused of raping a woman of his own race at Rhodesa, Tex., last Saturday. He was taken to a railroad bridge, a rope tied about his neck and the other end fastened to the railroad tie. He was given his choice to jump or wait to be ground to a pulp by the first train. He promptly adopted the first, and to make it good the crowd fired a number of volleys into the dangling corpse. We suppose this consideration was shown to this alleged rapist because his victim was not white. Though bred in Old Kentucky, we are not much on horse racing We, however, pay more attention to what is taking place among the bang-tails, and it seems that the Afro-American jockeys are not in it as they used to be. It seems that the boys are losing their nerve. There are no Murphys, Walkers, Perkinses, Brown Dicks, etc., now-a-days. Of course we have some owners and good trainers, but they were formerly jockeys and rose from the mills. The nomination of Senator Marcus A. Hanna for President by the next Republican national convention is one of the possibilities. Senator Hanna would receive the united support of the Afro-American voters wherever they are able to cast their votes and have them counted. He has been a true friend of the race. If the senator can be prevailed upon to take the nomination he will be elected. It now seems that Prof. A. R. Crook—the most written about man in the United States—was a regular flirt while in France. But we fail to see whose business it is whether he was ever kissed or ever kissed or not. Major Taylor still continues to win bicycle races and glow in France. A Collection of a Few of the Events Occurring Among the Aro-Americans of the Capital of This Great and Glorious Nation for Our Many Readers. Mr. Daniel Murray read a paper on "Some Colored Generals" before the Bethel Literacy Society Tuesday evening. Hon. John P. Green addressed the Second Baptist Lycme Sunday afternoon on "Reminiscences of John Brown." The nineteenth annual banquet and reception of the Coachman's Union Add Station No. 1, at Convention Hall, Friday night, was attended by fully 700 couples, and was a success in every respect. The dancing program contained twenty two-steps, waltzes and quadrilles. The banquet proved a most enjoyable affair. A boy, apparently seven years old, a deaf mute, was taken to the House of Detention after suffering a fall from a car of the Anacostia and Potomac railroad. At the House of Detention the boy was on a hospital on which he was asked to write a dress and name. He did not understand the question, however, and nothing could be learned from him. James Fantoy, aged nine years, of 1246 Union court southwest, was drowned in the Washington channel at the foot of O street Monday. He was playing on the wharf with Floyd Young, another boy, but went too near the water. Floyd was in several persons, fishing near by, endeavored to rescue him, but when he came to the surface he was too far out to be reached. Boats were put out, but too late to be of service.

Edward Perry, a laborer, employed by Littlefield, Alvord & Co., was seized in the station by a beam which had been wooded. With other men he was moving property from a freight car sidetrack at the station, and was struck in the head by a beam which had been lice to the Casualty hospital, where a number of cuts and bruises were found about the head and body. Twenty stitches were required to close one big gash on top of the head. Ida Jackson, twenty-four years old, who believed she was tired of living, swallowed a quantity of carbolic acid about 1 Oclock Sunday morning. The police patrol wagon was summoned by the police, and the agency hospital from her home. No. 124 Eighteenth street northwest. Fortunately for the woman, the solution was not a strong one, and the physician soon had her out of danger. The office of Chicago, wife of Dr. Hall, is the guest of Dr. and Mrs. A. M. Curtis. The President's speech to the students of the Southern University at New Orleans was as follows: "I am glad to know that all over the South, we have provided institutions of learning where every boy and every girl can prepare themselves for usefulness and honor under the government in which they live. The thing today is to be practical. What you want is to get yourself well, and with these you want unaffecting industry, and if you have these three things you will have success anywhere and everywhere. God bless you." James Lee, the small boy who confessed having found a pocketbook containing $400, said to have been lost a few days ago, by Herman Oppenheimer, has been adjudged to be insane by the police surgeons. The boy is fourteen years old, and since his arrest he has told several stories about the money he had taken into custody he said he had buried the money, and later he told the officers he had put it away in the safe of a merchant. During his examination by the police surgeons he said he had been arrested at aatrical troupe. The boy's parents live at 2229 Cleveland avenue. He was sent to the asylum.

O.; George McDowell Wright, Portsmouth, Va. Rev. S. Gerich Lamkins, pastor of the Tenth Street Baptist church, preached Sunday in reply to a recent sermon of Rev. Dr. Charles H. Parkhurst, of the Madison Square Presbyterian church, the Lamkins took his text from the thirty-eighth chapter of Job, second verse: "Who is this darkest dench counsel with words without knowledge?" and said: "Dr. Parkhurst is one of the most divided of this country, and the most reformers are not great men, but Dr. Parkhurst is a great man, and for that reason much attention is paid to what he has to say, whether right or wrong. When he is wrong, his words do a good job, and it is true with much of the sermon last Sunday, if he was correctly reported. "Dr. Parkhurst traveled in the South for about nine days a short time ago. On his return he presumed to speak for the South as well as the North. He is reported to have said: 'The Southern, white man dislikes the Negro and owns up to it. The Northern, white man dislikes the Negro and owns up to it.' If a stranger should remain but nine days in New York and presume to speak for the citizens of that state, the impetuous Dr. Parkhurst would be the first to denounce him as a crank. Dr. Parkhurst knows comparatively nothing of the South and speaks without authority or knowl- of the South. He will be regarded as adding to the confusion of an already vexed question. "The Southern people like the Negro for several reasons. The great majority of the Southern Negroes are faithful servants, and there is an instinct for the protection of the community admiration of faithfulness. The Southern people can never forget the true devotion of their servants, who tilled their soil, and guarded their homes and property, for the welfare and protection of the late rebellion when they went to war. "We do not believe that Dr. Parkhurst voices the sentiment of the best people of the North. The great work done by philanthropic people of the North is the best work done by the people of the section. Does Dr. Parkhurst mean to tell us that Charles Sumner, Wendell Phillips, William Lloyd Garrison, Henry Ward Beecher, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Roscoe Conkling, John A. Logan, and a host of others who played a vital role in the civil rights crises? Were Lincoln, Grant and Garfield liars? We cannot believe it. We regard the sentiment as an unintentional insult to the boys in blue who died not only to preserve the Union, but to preserve the American spirit. "A tidy, self-respecting, industrious and honest Negro is not disliked by white people anywhere. Outbreaks among the rabble go for nothing as an expression of public sentiment. A Negro is not disliked by white people more represents either of those states than a mob in New York is representative of the sentiment of the metropolis. 30 Defective Page "We do not put Dr. Parkhurst down as an enemy to the Negro, but as one of our friends, but one who because of his limited information on the Negro question 'darkens counsel by words without knowledge.'" PARDON FOR RANEY MILLS. Reminisble Case of an Afro-Australian Woman Whose Husband Was Lynched. Raleigh, N. C, May 6—Gov. Aycock to woman of Rutherford county, who has a baby eight months old. Her husband, Avery Mills, killed a white man named Flock last year and was quickly married. Her narrowly escaped lynching alone. Judge Robinson urged her pardon. He says in a letter to the governor that after her husband had been shot and while he was being beaten on the head with a gun, she handed him at his request. Flack, who, the judge says, was, the aggressor. She and her husband were on their way to jail when he was lynched. She was a witness before the grand jury against the lynchers, but she was not guilty. She and the lynchers and found a bill against her for murder in the first degree. Judge Shaw thereupon issued bench warrants against the men whom she identified as the lynchers. Some of them fled, and the warrants are yet unexecuted, although at this term of court they were found guilty. They, them, which the grand jury again ignored. Judge Shaw removed the case against her to Cleveland county, where Judge Robinson tried it. The jury found her guilty of murder in the second degree. Judge Robinson said he was guilty of sedition to sentence her for the minimum term and then, for the first time while he was judge, ask for a pardon.

He has been making a large number of appointments recently and yet not one Afro-American in all Illinois has been thus favored. During the late campaign the governor promised to be fair in the distribution of patronage. THE APPEAL would gently remind Gov. Yates that Illinois Afro-Americans have not entirely forgotten his promises. Max O'Rell says, "It is men who run after women, and it's women who catch them." Isn't this rather paradoxical? Mr. O'Rell says some queer things, however, very often. For instance, he says: "What a pity it is that many people fall in love and get married instead of getting married and falling in love."

ABASE BALLSTORY. ee ane and the Baltimore Team, Several weeks ago “Mugsy"" Me- Graw, the famous Baltimore base ball Player and magnate, was at Hot Springs, Ark., in company with other players, training for the opening of the bali Season. It happened one day during the course of practice that an- other ball player came upon the grounds. He was cordially invited to join in the fun of practice, and he did s0. To the surprise of McGraw and his associates, the newcomer proved himself a past-master of the game— catching, flelding, running and batting to perfection. But alas, the newcom- er was a light-colored Afro-American, and therefore barred from the Ameri: can League because of his race. Me- Graw thought, however, to overcome this difficulty ‘by attempting to palm off his new-found ball player as an Indian from the Indian Territory. ‘The new player was carried to Baltimore, and his playing was a revelation to his team-mates and the fans generally. McGraw was congratulated on his find. The new player became dis- gusted with being an Indian, and left McGraw and Baltimore, and so Char- ley Grant, of Chicago, the Columbia Giants’ crack second baseman, 1s at home again as a plain Afro-American, ‘Gatnaatia Snacceete: cJonee New» York.
