The Appeal

THE ORIGINAL PICTURE OF TURVEYDROP VOL.17.NO.26. THE ORIGINAL PICTURE OF TURVEYDROP EOPLE who want to see the London of Dickens will have to go to the houses, their ticket for the other side, houses which the great author houses which the great author houses OEPLE who want to see the London of Dickens will have to hurry up and buy their tickets for the other side, for the real houses which the great author temanted with the people of his imagination and which as real to us as the houses themselves, the process of demolition, or about to be demolished, and the streets and squares frequented by the beings of his fancy are being transformed. The world moves, even in London, and improvements are old the literary landmarks. Even in the city, the old landscapes "all the camp with .Nell in Ember meadows wandered and lost their way," a change rapidly is taking place. But it is in London that the change is greatest, for there new streets and new buildings will soon take the place of the houses at which American tourists used to live, in that Sawley ramp in that other house she was waiting for and turn-about' with Betsy Prig by the slicked of Lewsome. Here lived Little Nell and down the street the rioters in the Ridge' went, howling, to burn a church, the Sawley ramp in Kingstown that Sawley ramp in Kingstown and High Holborn, "next door but one to the celebrated munt ple shop and directly opposite to the original cat's meat warehouse". The house once occupied by the famous umbrella has stood until now, famous altered from the day when Dickens discovered it and engaged lodgings there for the chum of Mrs. Arris. Now, even as then, a barber shop occupies the ground floor of the munt ple pipe does not add the selling of birds to his other occupations as Poll did. Otherwise it remains about the same as it was when the precocious Mr. Balley anastised Mr. Sweedlepie by asking there to come down to make room for the new Strand to Holborn avenue. interest is great. Americans will still appear in this landmark of Dickens than the Londoners themselves, who seldom appreciate their literary shrines until they have been discovered and exploited by the Americans. The well-known case of the Platford-on-Avon is only one of many instances which England failed to realize the value of her possessions until Americans aroused her from her妒妄.

She was staying at a popular hospital in San Francisco, and hundred miles from San Francisco, and I knew her as well with woman, intent on filling space, woman, intent on filling space, . deeply involved in a butterfly existence. She was an unusually clever, fascinating woman. Mrs. Jean Barlow. The women all admitted it, although some of them looked at her, and most of them looked at her, and some of the subject, complained that she lacked style, was slender to scrawniness and was not beautiful. It was something in her favor, however, that none of her detractors intuitively understood her style, blondee to her brilliant coloring was rouge, or her charming vivacity affected perceptions such institutions as for whatever her faults of carriage or character, Jean Borrow was transparently natural, gilded and withal a gorgeously tropical creature. There were those who were fond of referring to her as a typical California girl, but she was not a beauty and clever witch to the accident of mirrors who were also alluring of the Golden State. She was not a widow, and when the inevitable one inquired with raised eyebrows after "Mr. Barlow," she was not a widow, her shoulders and whispers, "separation and divorce proceedings pending." Nobody seemed to care very much. So she was not a widow, and those nauseated with their own past have little appetite for the unsavvy past. I owed actual acquaintance with Mrs. Jean Barlow to my interest in golf. She was an expert, and meeting me occasionally on the links, approved of my form' and professed to discover the making of a golfer in me._With char- which Mrs. Gamp first made the acquaintance of Mr. Pepoll and Pickl Swedelipe's successor has had his business new world who wanted actors from the got home that they had had a "Dickens shave" in the house of Salrey Gamp.

It was there that Salrey and Betsy Prig nursed Lewesy. It is aacterique nice she undertook giving me points and we frequently made the course together. Returning to the occasions srs. Barlow invited me to join her in a milk punch in the small room off the bar reserved for the use of the ladies of the hotel. We were partaking of the mild coverage I found Mrs. Barlow delightfully cordial and more charming than a trifle, upset either by her flattering attention or an unusual quantity of rum my own achievements and spoke in rather a large way of my magazine work (which at that time was, I fear, limited to articles on domestic science) and literary essays. I could see I was making an imprecision, and I could make an hope to do, and beginning to pack a punch. Mrs. Barlow became almost confident, and she felt the frivolity of her life, owed longings for pecunial independence and of absolute secret-that she has been written a story, which, upon my urgent insistence that punch must have been agreed to submit to me for criticism, the ladies of the hotel were all taken in with her. Mrs. Barlow might have been owing to this or that Mrs. Barlow regretted her confidence that I did not see her again for several days. In the latter case her apprehension had experience with ambitious amateurs. Upon the night of the festivities I made a visit to the hotel, past the long rows of portly dowagers, and took my position outside a French leading directly into the corridor which enclosed the patio. Many of the windows were crowded spectators, but this was a little apart, and I was leading directly into the patio, and I had so often appropriated it for my nightly practice for my use.

He was a strikingly handsome man of distinguished appearance, evidently a new arrival. His manner was unobtrusive; in fact, he seemed hardly aware of my proximity until, restlessly oppressed with sharing an angle of observation so long considered my exclusive right, I gave vent to some movement of impatience with the man, conscious of my irritation, courteousness, and, although the wall was graced with the usual number of budding wall flowers seen at the fashionable summer resort, Mrs. B衍 was constantly on the floor. There came a moment, however, between the dances when she caught a glimpse of me sitting in the shadow and came outside with her partner, young Tom Crane, to chat with me. It was not a desire so much for my company as to escape some unwelcome partner, I fancy, which made her insist with friendly familiarity that I should be present for her on the narrow bench beside me. "Go and find Bessie, that two-step will begin in a minute," she commanded, dismissing young Crane airily. "I am going to sit out the next dance with Miss Fox. You see, I'm going to tell her about my story." "Your story?" stammered Crane. "Yes, as carelessly as though she had not gained me to secrecy." "Didn't you know I had a thing?" "Yes, indeed, and Miss Fox is going to edit it. Behold an embryo novelist! There is Bessie now." "I'm sure your story will be far more at risk than he reluctantly accented his dismissal. ST.

I wonder that nice fellows like Tom should show themselves of themselves over those starry eyes and scarlet lips, when a man's voice came out of the semi-dark behind us. Jean, come out here a moment; I must speak with you." With a smothered exclamation she started to her feet. "You?" she gasped. "Yes, I, Jean," and the stranger I had seen stepped out of the shadow. Jean faced him, her little figure drawn to its full height; her beautiful head erect—full of pride and dauntless courage. "I have come a good many miles to see you, Jean, and I must have a few minutes' conversation with you alone." "I have nothing to say to you," she returned haughtily, "and whatever you have to say to me you can say here before my friend, Miss Fox." Construing this into something like an introduction I arose. Perhaps I meditated escape from an awkward position, but a compelling hand detained me. "Miss Fox, allow me to present my Mr. Barlow." The gentleman barely acknowledged the introduction and continued: "You must know, Jean, I would not seek an interview so unpleasant were there not some urgency. Surely you do not distrust me so much," angrily—this is no place— It certainly was no place for adjusting domestic difficulties. Even Mrs. Barlow recognized this, and she said: "I cannot refuse to listen, I suppose, but I do not wish to hear anything a third person may not. Would you mind, turning to me persuasively, "coming with us into the patio a few moments?" The proud figure relaxed a little and the scarlet lips trembled. "Has your judgment of me been more lenient?" she asked, hotly. "Is it worse to think you capable of killing the man you profess to believe has dishonored your wife—for in such things men justify one another—than to accuse a woman first of selling herself to you for money and posing molished. This is the Old Curiosity Shop in Portugal street. It is the real shop without a doubt of which Dickens wrote: oon, and then taking your most intimate friend as a lover."

"I put it as you put it." returned John welling half your evenings to Mrs. Tou- ton, surprised Hartley with me and con- sidered an innocent situation in disguise. "I do not know what you mean by introducing Mrs. Thornton's name," said Barlow. "I never spent an evening with her in my life." The Harley told me "he failed Jean, and stopped." I not doubt it; Harley had his reason. He was a lard-and-he is dead. It is this which brings me here, lest your first knowledge of his death should come before you. There is no occasion for your name being mixed up in it, unless some of these d- newspaper reporters get hold of our story. I was beginning to feel decidedly deprived, but though used to being over-used and never before been so entirely forgotten. Barlow continued: "The facts are stimulating, and the relationships with Hartley were naturally strained. I saw little of him; then he had gone to San Francisco. I thought he was jealous and threw up everything to cross the continent with what purpose. If the Sheldons that you were here; that Hartley had not been there, but was there, you could be a rumor that he had a woman with him. I could not shake off my damnable suspicion of another wife.

"I went to wastepaper warehouse but on its front it bears the inscription, 'The Old Curiosity Shop Immortalized by Charles Dickens.' Dickens came across it in one of his rambles about the city, nobody knows when, perhaps when he was a boy workman, he went to the kitchen for hungry for want of a meal. At any rate, when the poor little city waif, whose father was in the debtor's cell, became the great author he hired the house for the occupancy of Little Nell and her brother, who turned them out and thither came Dick Sweller, Kit, Codlin and Short. It is a picturequeen old shop in just the condition it was when the Dickens folk lived there, and it takes little imagination to repeople it with the characters of the name. But its doom has been spoken. A whole slice of Dickensland will disappear with the blotting out of Sardinia street. This queer little thoroughfare is associated with the description of the Gordon riots in "Barnaby Rudge." Never at any one time have so many literary landmarks in London been in the process of destruction or awaiting it as now. But what London will lose in sentiment it will gain in substantial street improvements. Eesides, as Mrs. Gamp observed to prepare you— Barlow broke off abruptly, but began hastily: "I came to you, Jean. In all kindness I wanted to spare you something, but when I saw you there so gay and careless and I, heart-broken, running mad over the country on account of you, I longed to hurt you—to make you feel something—I thought you loved Hartley." "Such a thought was an insult to me," she interrupted, scornfully. "I thought you at least would feel Harley's death-his desertion," continued Katherine, "but women like you feel nothing." "I never cared for Hartley. His death is nothing to me," returned Jean calmly, and yet you made Hartley mad over you. You women are utterly conscienceless. Jean smiled. Harley's death may be attributed to an abnormal development of conscience," she said quietly. "Did you know Harley, passionately, do you know love is? Did you never love any one?" "Yes, she replied, regarding him unkindly, you loved him. Do you remember, she said gently. She found me three years ago, an unappreciated country girl, out on the border, and on a night like this you said things to me you surely have not forgotten." "Don't, Jean, don't," cried Barlow, with a gesture of pain. "And," she continued, unheeding, "do you think because I told you then that I did not care as you cared, but that I was willing to trust it all to you, that I was incapable of love? Do you think I was all at fault, when I lost my head a little in that rotten society into which you introduced me? How was I to distrust your chosen friends—I who believed all men in good clothes gentlemen, all women pure? Did you think me the kind of woman who would remain with you one hour after such accusations as you made against me that night?

BLACK BULL HOTEL on the occasion of another "disappearance": "It's what we must all come to. It's as certain as being born, except that it can't make our calculations as exact." The reality of Dickens depends, after all, very little upon material things. Everybody has in his imagination an "Old Curiosity Shop" of his own which is more satisfactory, perhaps, than the real article would be. Frequently when one has built for himself imaginary houses and landscapes wherein live and move the creatures of the novelist's fancy it is a distinct shock to be brought face to face with the real place—the one the novelist had in mind—and find out how utterly different it is from his own. And as to the necessity of tearing down these landmarks of Dickens, why London needs street improvements about as badly as any city that can be mentioned. Still—still, it would be pleasing if the landmarks could be left standing. Even if Dickens' Salrey Gamp's house did fight with our own Salrey Gamp's house. It was the Salrey Gamp's house that Dickens knew, and his was the supreme right. In time our own Salrey Gamp's house would be bound to vanish before the spell of the original one. However, they might tear down all London and sow the site with salt without touching a hair of the delicate head of Little Nell, and Salrey Gamp's old umbrella and pattens defy the storms of time and the rains of oblivion. "I have really been very good," she said brakenly. What a child she looked, after all, standing there like a tall white lily in the morning. "Jean," exclaimed Berlow, holding out his hands entreatingly, "I have been a brute and a fool, but—could we not be brute and a dear, I have loved you, always—always." He drew her to him unresisting.

There have been a large number of black men lynched in the South just because they were accused of attempting to commit rape on white females. The English language is not sufficient to furnish terms strong enough to describe the heinousness of these alleged assaults. You know it's an indescribable violation of the moral laws of God and man for a black man to even attempt carnal connection with a white woman, whether with or without her consent. In all these cases there seems to have been no particular premeditation. The black man gets an opportunity to do that which he has known his white brother to do many and many a time and no trouble came from it, and he follows his bad example, but invariably pays the penalty—his life. The newspapers chronicle these alleged assaults using all the language they can master to express their horror and disgust at the crim (inal.) We have yet to hear of an assault being made by black men in the deliberately planned manner as that in which the seven white men assaulted the two white women in Paterson, N. FORETHOUGHT. Weary Walker—Don't go up to dat house, Pete. Peekskill Pete—What's de reason because? Weary Walker—Cause I saw 'em buyin' a new saw an' axe yesterday. MOTHER OPERATOR HEARD FROM. "We might er been married dis summer, Ellse, but de slump in Wall street simply wiped out me margins." J.—the scene of one of the most notorious rape cases of recent years—which occurred last Sunday night. One white man enticed two white women to go with him through a lonely strip of woods. When a certain place was reached, the man whistled, and two men sprang out of a thicket and proceeded to gag and bind the women, then four other white men appeared, and the whole seven assault the girls. There has been no lynch- ing yet, not one of these white gentlemen has been burned at the stake. Why is it not necessary to protect the honor of white women in the North in the same summary manner as it is done in the South? Justice is represented to be blind, don't you know, she is not supposed to know the color of criminals. We do not wish these white gentlemen to be lynched, and we do not wish to hear of any more lynchings of "black brutes" for similar offenses, or we will be forced to the conclusion that, in the case of the black man, the criminal is worse than the crime, and the talk about protecting the honor, virtue, chastity, etc., of their women is all bosh. The platform adopted by the Ohio state convention adopted the following resolutions, which show where Senators Hanna and Foraker stand: "The right of franchise is vouchsafed to every American citizen by the federal Constitution. We denounce as no less criminal when committed by theft than when accomplished with the shotgun and by ballot box stuffing, and as antagonistic to the spirit of our institutions, all attentions to devise of their inenable rights millions of our fellow citizens in certain states in the Union. We therefore call upon our senators and representatives in Congress for such legislation as shall secure the strict enforcement of constitutional measures guaranteeing to every citizen the right of franchise, without distinction as to race, color or previous condition of servitude, and we demand that representation in Congress and in the electoral college shall be based on the actual voting population, as provided in Constitution, proportionate reduction of vote for any state in which the right of suffrage is denied, except for crime. "All criminals should be punished by due process of law, and we denounce the crime of lynching as a foul blot upon civilization." We often hear of men leading double lives, but it takes Chicago to produce the strangest. John P. Klein, alias John P. Kent, a printer, worked all day at one office, earning $25 per week, which he turned over to wife No. 1; at night, he worked at another office, earning $10 per week, which he turned over to wife No. 2, who found it hard to get along on that amount, and started an investigation which resulted in the discovery of the double life, in which the man was almost working himself death. He was arrested on a charge of bigamy, tried, and sentenced to the penitentiary and fined $1. Two THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER NICHOLAS THE CLEAR POPE HORRIBLE LUCKSKY!

The Ohio Republican convention was a perfect love feast with the wheel horses in attendance. Senators Hanna and Foraker throw bouquets at each other. Gov. Nash is nominated, the McKinley administration is eulogized and everything is "just too lovely." We guess the election HORRIBLE LUCKS will pan out as lovely as the convention. With Hanna, Foraker and Nash working together, how can they lose? Making "goo-goo" eyes is a very dangerous business it seems, as several serious affairs have been chronicled lately caused by this optical diversion. The latest trouble we have head of is in Oshkosh, Wis., where a young husband attempted to commit suicide because he saw his wife mak- OR HEARD FROM. ing goo-goo eyes at another fellow. His life was saved by prompt action, but he says he will succeed next time. He had had a spat with his wife and had been separated from her two weeks so he ought not to take it so hard. The Virginia flood was a terrible disaster in which a number of Afro-Americans lost their lives, which goes to show that in this country's weal or woe they are in it—mostly in the woe, however. WASHINGTON THE CITY OF MAGNIFICENT DISTANCES. A Collection of a Few of the Events Occuring Among the Afro-Americanes of the Capital of This Great and Glorious Nation, for Our Many Readers. The President has appointed John E. Green a second lieutenant in the Twentieth Infantry. Green passed the examination in the Philippines and rose from the ranks. The population in Alabama is made up practically of persons of African descent, and this element in 1900 constitutes more than 45 per cent. of the total population of the state. Twenty-eight per cent. of the population of Arkansas is Afro-American. Seeing the peril of a younger brother, who was being swept into deep water by a strong current, two sons of John Ely, Afro-American, who lives near Exit, Va., Sunday afternoon gave up their own lives in a frantic effort to save him. The youngest boy, aged about eight years, was bathing in Scott's Creek, half a mile from Exit, when his brothers, about ten SKY! THE CIGARS ARE ON ME and twelve, who were on the bank, heard a pitiful appeal for help. Turning, they saw the boy was waging an unequal battle with the tide, and with no thought of their own danger, threw themselves into the stream. They managed to reach the drowning youth, but their combined efforts were not enough to get him ashore. A spectator says the two older boys, when they realized the futility of dragging out their little brother, could have saved themselves, but they would not, and with locked arms all went down together. The bodies were recovered. There is a "kissing and foot-washing congregation" in Philadelphia. This was brought out by a wife who had caused the arrest of her husband for desertion and non-support. Mary Jackson, of 518 South Twelfth street, first said the prisoner in the dock was her husband, James Jackson, of 1313 Bainbridge street. His love for her had departed, she said, about six months age, when he deserted her and went to live at the Bainbridge street house. The reason she assigned, with some bitterness and indignation, was "dat he he had joined dat kissin' and foot-washin' church" at Broad and Bainbridge streets, and that since then he had no interest in her. She said she had lived peaceably with Jackson for eight years until his entrance into the church. With a finger of scorn pointing to some people sitting in the hearing-room, she most screamed, "Dat's some dem kissins and foot-washins sitin' dar now." The accusations short by the magistrate holding Jackson in $800 bail to answer at court. Louis Scott, a young Afro-American, who told the police his home is at No. 1800 Eighteenth street northwest, called at the third precinct station and asked that a detective accompany him to the British embassy.

A number of Afro-American teachers have petitioned the Board for permission to open a vacation school in the west section of the city. Permission to open a granted for a vacation school at the Stevens building in the northwest section. No action was taken on the matter owing to the press of business. A petition from Afro-Americans residing on Grant Road was received. It is their desire that the new school building be erected in that vicinity. The closing exercises of the lycme of the Second Baptist Church, Third street, between H and I, northwest, were held in the Lyceum Hall, Sunday afternoon. A good sized gathering of the members was present. R. W. Thompson, president of the lyceum, opened the meeting with a brief address in which he set forth the good work done in the year, and hoped to have even larger meetings during the coming winter meetings. dress of the afternoon was delivered by J. T. C. Newson, of Texas, who spoke on "Poverty and its Resulting Evils." The speaker described the condition of the Afro-American in the North and South as he is to day, and attributed his social status as much to poverty as to any other cause. He urged all Afro-Americans to stand up for their rights, and be men always. In this way, he stated; they command the respect of their white breast and become a power in the land. The question was then debated by those present. Mistress Hedgman opening the discussion Blanche I. Coleman recited "The Battle of Manassas," and vocal soles were rendered by Mrs. W. C. Payne and William Carter. The reports for the year were read and adopted, and the lyceum adjourned. Man ate Human Heart.

The heroic attempt of Howard Johnson, an Afro-American of 2807 Wentworth avenue, to save the lives of many women and children last Monday, by his efforts to stop a runaway team, may possibly cost him his life. The man was knocked to the pavement and one of the wheels of the heavy brewery wagon, drawn by the runaway animals, passed over his abdomen. The man was removed to the Provident Hospital by the stockyards police ambulance, where it said he may die. Such heroism deserves a better fate, and the AP-PEAL already hopes that he may recover and receive a suitable reward for such bravery.

The rehearsals at 77 Thirty-First street for the past several weeks indicate very clearly that Mr. Gomm will assume in selecting the very best talent in the company.

Mr. McLain comes highly recommended and brings papers and specimens of ore from his mines which leave no room for doubt as to his perfect reliability. He is a successful business in that country for many years, and is said to be very wealthy. ANOTHER ORGANIZATION The Black Cross Federation Entrs the Field. Another race organization is to be launched in Chicago, the promoters of which hope to accomplish much in the way of legally prosecuting persecutors in the pastime of lynching Afro-American men in the country. The Appeal is of the opinion that the new movement, unless very skillfully managed, will find itself out-classed by the National Afro-American Council, which has neglected in the same work for several years. A constitution for the federation has been adopted by the charter members, and a charter applied for. As soon as it is obtained, all the Afro-American clergymen in the United States are asked to become members and solicited to write newspaper will be asked. the membership fee is 35 cents, and a membership of 50,000 is stipulated before the federation becomes an actual working body. When that member is reached, the federation promises to be the factor in the advancement of the race. E. Franklin Morrow of No. 290 Twenty-Ninth street, a young man of education and ambition, is the promoter of a federation. Royton, a stereotype entertainer of 4837 Dearborn street, and George W. Slater and W. L. Edwards, Fifty-Second street and Lake avenue, are forming the federation. Morrow says that he received assurances of support from many prominent Afro-Americans as soon as the charter is received and the federation can proceed on a legal basis. Lynching is not the only evil which will be attacked by the proposed federation. A fight for the rights of full American citizens is carried on in those Southern states in which Americans have been disfranchised; a campaign to force the railroads of the South to furnish as good accommodations as are furnished the whites will be forced to work; children will be encouraged, and every effort made to better the race.
