The Appeal

SOME GOOD NEWSPAPER STORIES VOL. 17. NO. 27. The calls that an editor receives in the course of a day would astonish some people, both as to their number and their character. I have found that as a rule he would all sorts of people with a great deal of knowledge rarely lose their patience, and I have no doubt at all that every editor has a certain point on his temperamental thermometer at which he is certain to become a friend, and a call from a distinguished profession who was profoundly moved by the fact that in an article of recent date bearing on men of his calling not nearly so much was given to his achievements, and had been so taken of some loss celebrated persons in the press. His pre-eminence was well understood and in the article it was acknowledged, but it was in vain that I declared his position was so secure that more news was given to no longer or avail in his case. The time was when the fact that newspapers dismissed him with a brief acknowledgment of his superiority should be regarded as the alderest praise. He did not look at the in that light. Newspaper notoriety was in that light with so much content as I had supposed would be the case. In fact, it was newspaper notoriety that he was pursuing. Finding him unwilling to acknowledge the possibility that the explanation was the direct one and tiring of his labile eagerness I said: "Professor, how many times have we published long and appreciative notices of your life and work?" He his quick response, and at the same time he drew from his pocket clippings of the indentual articles, now well-thumbed and discolored with age. I took them in my hand, and after riminating a few seconds, I said: "I will give you a vals of a year or two during the period of eight years. They are all very complimentary. I presume they gave you great satisfaction. Yet this is the first time I have heard of the honor of a call from you. In fact, it is the time that we have met. Do you not see something peculiar in that circumstance?" It is creditable to the human race, as I view it, to say that the professor was that he colored vibly, and that he dismissed the subject of his complaint forthwith and swallowed, leaving an expensive umbrella in a chair, recently took it and sent it to his residence. Human Nature in Newspapers. The peculiarity which the professor was invited to consider was this: The average man who may be praised in a newspaper does not acknowledge the compliment and whorty tone, he knows his own goodness better than an editor makes some reference to him his only thought is that at least one journal is capable of appreciating it. He never took a meal or a new garment more as a matter of course than the average man takes honeyed words from a newspaper. Yet if criticism be passed upon him he will be heard from in protest without delay. He becomes fully conscious of this human falling early in life. I am now willing to admit that on more than one occasion I have tried the experiment of praising men repeatedly and then in a single instance (ensuring that I never missed it) to announce the unfulfill after the publication involving criticism. Then they called promptly and brecely. They all were confirmed that the strictures passed upon them were the result of some unaccountable mistake by a manor self-self-education. It enslays in all the modern world. It will not take many to go round. It must not be supposed that I never knew a man to acknowledge a newspaper compliment. I have known of one such case. A gentleman whom I never saw, a reputation was good and of whom some reputation was bad and of whom some reputation was good and of whom some reputation was bad, sent me a basket of handsome roses with an appreciative note. The fragrance of the former and the kindness of the latter filled the editorial atmosphere during a long and busy day, and at 7 p. m. I learned that a gentleman was a candidate or an important man. The writer of a vicious anonymous letter always has been regarded with contempt, but what shall be said of the fussy old lady, familiar to most editors, who is always in a social or a religious fight of some sort, and who must permit her to strike a man weighing 20 pounds over your shoulder? She generally is interested in the home for the care of the careless, and her mind is usually at rest on one point at least—that the Lord sent her on her mission. Now, no one else can attack the fair sex. Be far from me to乞 or to say to evil of any member there. or, out if a rotund old lady in eat and crope, with curls and gold spectacles and a short breath, floccens into your office and follow directors in the afosseo directors in the afosseo villains; that Mrs. Jiggs, the matron, is a wicked old lady, and that between them they are robbing the press and oppressing the scorn that you must show up in your office, your "honor-minded you," your "honor"—not to mention her name, what are you going to do about it? **Country Correspondents.** It is a relief to turn from such as she and take the hard hand and look into the honest face of the country correspondent who is passing through the town so merely called to see you and to talk to you. She is a 200-word telegram that he sent to your paper week before last when the tannery in his town was destroyed by fire. The man himself and his widow used to an abrupt end immediately after he has made the discovery that not very much is going on at the theaters and if there were the free list is suspended. I have known two country correspondents whose memory will be kept green if it is in my power to do it. One of them is the city of 15,000 inhabitants which was abandoned the first morning after the catastrophe nothing but a few meager bulletins announcing its extent appeared in the newspapers. The next day, by much telegram management to induce the correspondent in question to visit the telegraph office in a neighboring town where I had a conversation with him over the wires, and instructed him at length as to the nature of the report that I desired him to telegram, and he had all the facts; that he could write them five columns and that he would begin at once, handing his copy to the telegraph operator as fast as written. Things were a very promising, indeed, but 10 o'clock in the morning the word having been received, I sent him a franck diagrace, and an hour later I received from him a telegraph of forty-seven words, saying that the town had sent him a word 'fond' and that "words failed to describe the situation." He had approached his subject vallantly, but it had vanquished him. The other country correspondent was of a different sort. He lived in a town where they had seven men in jail for murder, and being a leading citizen and know what was going on. On going heceived from him by wire a well-written history of the crimes of the prisoners, with an account of the proceedings of a lynch court that had been held that afternoon in the public square. At the time he was saying: "Hanging takes place later, will have 3,000 + 4,000 words more." True to his word, at 10 p. m. his supplementary dispatch started, and by a 1. a. m. we had seven-column account of the most remarkable manifestation of mob law ever no other newspaper in the Mississippi river, no other newspaper in the New York even so much as a bulletin of the occurrence. In this case the country correspondent was one of the mob, and with his own hands placed the ropes around the necks of three of the culprits. I read an efficient newsgatherer and an able manman. Addressed in Poetry. "Ireasonable, you say. Yes, and filmed, too, perhaps, but despairing men and women in all ages have called aloud, beckoning the time or the place, and helping to create the children's stories come to all of the children of men at one time or another. Some of us may not hear them, even though they be repeated, but he assured me they may be heard. And that some day we will know whether we heard wisely or passed on foolishly. The Young Musician. You may see over my desk a small frame holding the photograph of a boy. The face he has is very beautiful. Faded though it is, I look in it sometimes for inspiration, as I once did info the original. That boy and I became friends in a peculiar way. He was ten years of age, and I was his boy me by letter. His father was dead, so he could barely support him and her other children and he was ambitious to become a musician. Although he had never received a lesson, he could play several instruments. He had heard that there were places where he could play with musical talent could be given instruction free, and his letter to me was to ask me to interest myself in his behalf. I did in a formal way; but as mine was a whole matter soon passed out of mind. A month or two later the lad came to see me with my letter to him in his hands, and with swimming eyes he related how all his visits to the numerous colleges and institutions had resulted in him being great patrons of music and the persons who gave free instruction to the poor were not in when he called. The quick eyes of the lad seemed to read my face and he said frankly that he did not come to pay for his instruction. He thought I should place where free lessons were given to worthy boys. I promised to do that very thing, and the next day *A* persuaded a well-known music teacher to give the boy instruction for one term. Such was upon the frequent, always hopeful, always grateful. Unhappily, the child was not strong, and he did not long survive. A year after I made his acquaintance I stood by his beautiful face. Every feature was of content. The one great disappointment possible in his case had been spared to him. He had gone to rest with little clothes, and that is kind enough to small boys when it thinks of them, but that has too much on its mind to think of them very often. was something, I thought, to have helped him to grow up. Pilgrimage and to have enabled him to pass on from time to eternity with a soul full of faith in the better nature of men. Precept and Practice. Do editors ever practice what they please? In most questions. Editors are great preschoolers. They guide and to instruct everybody. Sure THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS. MINN. SATURDAY. JULY 6, 1901. By, if they do not practice, to what preacher can they look for such an example? The good Marceur surestus (e.g., the “other in writing” or “other in reading”) will not be able to lay down rules for others before thou shalt have their learned to obey those rules thyself,” but he never enjoyed an acquaintance with a modern editor. Possibly if the great emperor had lived in these times he would not have written at all. The editorial moralists and socios would have a effort on his part entirely unnecessary. enough in most respects is yet held by us to be an excellent place for poor folks. It had no superior sense of his visitor, but he had no in-sайer save which was to be found in his pinched and troubled face, in his simplicity and in his tears. Yet here the preacher stood face to face with his congregation and there appeared to be no escape. The man really should not have been permitted to pass the secretary on duty at the door. The editor would see to that. He must not be inexperienced, but he must be in the care of a fact that he was not a good one. venerable truths to th limbo a set all previously formed and forces new ones upon the understanding him, suspecting that the most important of all disturbance, a patient of attacks upon the wonderful that people treat a as a fool or as an enemy laugh at him or hang him, a may suggest? More than one should shipwrecked upon a trial than one society has gone to confronted by a fact that con Yes, I have known one editor who preciated what he preached, but I may say that it was because he 'got caught at a gambit' wrote an article on the subject of gambit writing, a sensation as a disease and arguing that since the wealthy and humane provided hospitals for the treatment of all other diseases some such arrangement should be made for the care of men who were gambitting. It was purely a speculative essay, and its author never expected to hear from it again, but the next day a man who plainly was in trouble, presented himself at the editor's desk and asked the editor acknowledged the production and immediately perceived that his caller was in tears. In brief, the visitor was an unfortunate clerk, well along in years whose poverty had driven him not long ago, and had lost and lost again and at last he had appropriated money belonging to his employers, hoping to win enough to be able to return in, and had lost every the little things he had a wife and three children, the honesty were exposed, as well as himself, would be involved in ruin. He CANADA J. BULL: "IF SHE ACCEPT CANADA AMERICAN CAPITAL J. BULL: "IF SHE ACCEPTS THE RING, THE FIRST THING I KNOW SHE'LL BE ACCEPTING HIM." cared nothing for nmesen, out as poor wife and his dear children—the thoughts of disgracing them had driven him almost away. "Well?" the editor said. The wretched man dashed away his tears and, looking at the other hopefully, said that that very morning when going to his work, feeling that there could be but a moment's time to be spent with his wife, he had read the article referred to and its sympathetic tone had gone to his heart. Surely a man who could write so feeling of the misfortunes of others has the same way as him would have, by sympathy and advice for one who stood before him. Looking through some one papers not long since I came upon two or three manuscripts which had been left with me years ago by a man whom I esteemed highly. He was a man who had been his own, and his visionary, if not a revolutionist. That they were still in my possession was evidence that they had never been published, and I looked them through with interest and profit. How well that writer, of course, had a great deal of thought, and his reformers write so well, that their words have so much fire, so much eloquence? So, certly and truth are potential weapons in the hands of even the weak. This man wielded them. He drew his arms round him, and, for more than a year in the general, that never yet failed, a "How did you like the wine?" What was left for the editor? He had preached many times. He had often laughed quietly to himself thinking how cheap and easy it was, but here was an uncommonly fine opportunity to practice as well. What was the amount of the money, and easy it was, the dollar. How small that sum looked. The dollar it mechanically upon a sheet of paper that lay on the desk in front of him. Twelve dollars. Small enough to thousands and yet large enough to many thousands more. Twelve dollars. The price of that box of cigars which the man bought, which, still unopened, rested on his desk within the reach of a fellow creature to whom That Sum Was a Fortune. Twelve dollars! Insignificant truly, and yet so large as to measure for one human being all the distance between exposure, arrest, imprisonment, disgrace, torture, death, and home. Had not this editor more than once in finely turned sentences shown others how to dispose of their wealth! Had he not often enough inveighed against the stony hearts of this world, and how to ponder the ponderous breeder the blessings of the nebulosity and the duty of man to marry. Only a week before the interview here described he had hotly denounced a charity which investigated first and acted afterward, the action in this case of the police service to the applicant, who had passed on to that world which mysterious Defective Page enough in most respects, is yet held by us to be an excellent place for poor folks. He had no assurance that his visitor was not an impostor save that which to be found in his plinched and troubled face, in his simplicity and in his tears. Yet here the preacher stood face to face with his congregation and there appeared to be no escape. The man really should not have been permitted to pass the secession and would see to that. He must not be interrupted to frequently and by so many different sorts of people. Once or twice he had his mind made up to dismiss the man. The stern look which he put on his face would say came upon his face. The words were forming on his lips. Yet there was the article written by himself and its concluding sentence: "these unfurtunate are victims of disease and should be regained as such as amuse and amane and say came upon the folded page. It would be easier to hand him $12 and bid him restore the money he had stolen and sin no more. Happily the latter was the prescription which the preacher, now turned docter, had done as they would be done by the man stammering his thanks withdrew, and the editor resuming his labors preached no more for that day. I have known many other cases where editors have done as they would be done by the man stammering his thanks withdrew under my notice in which the editor's printed words were presented to him as the rule of his conduct and in such a way as to make escape therefrom practically impossible. It will be seen, therefore, that a man may preach nothing is easier and nothing is safer. AMERICAN CAPITAL THE RING, THE FIRST THING I KNOW Looking through some our papers not long since I came upon two or three manuscripts which had been left with me years ago by a man whom I esteemed highly, but who was regarded in his day as a man of great intellect. That they were still in my possession was evidence that they had never been published, and I looked them through with interest and profit. How well written they were, and how much they wrote so well, that their words have so much fire, so much eloquence? Sincerity and truth are potential weapons in the hands of even the weak. This man wielded them, and drew his arm as he wrote, and it was a patron. I see it all now. I know not what has become of him. He was an humble worker and thinker. He despised this world's goods, but there was a burn in his heart. He was killed him. At the time when he wrote the people among whom he lived were Not Prepared for the Truth. That which blinded and perplexed them he could look upon with eye undimmed and intelligence unshaken. Every reform, Emerson says, was once a private opinion, and which were advanced and which were too radical for enforcement or publication in days gone by are now heard on every hand and seen in every printed page. We learn slowly, indeed, but that we do learn is established, not by comparing year with year, but by comparing what we see, we cling to the prejudices which but a few years back were regarded as truths. How reluctantly we grasp the new-born truth and through what turnolt do we pass before we are willing to plant our feet upon it and therewith stand the prejudices and the condemn that at last we are on the rock. The cry of Pilate echoes forgery in the haunts of men. What is truth? The question which one generation may seals and seals with blood may be lightly reopened by another and the adjudication reversed at a wine supper. On such and such a state of faith the conclusion that Pilate is the same man is the same. But here comes a man who is in possession of another fact, the introduction of which relates certain venerable truths to thimble of error, uprops all previously formed conclusions and forces new ones upon the mind. Misunderstanding him, suspecting, him, impatient of all disturbance, and perhaps of all wrongness, is wonderful that people treat such a man as a fool or as an enemy and either laugh at him or hang him, as the mood may suggest? More than one state has been shipwrecked upon a truth. More than one state has been forced to pieces when confronted by a fact that could neither be covered nor evaded. My old friend was merely the discoverer of a new fact, but it was a fact that many other alleged facts. He saw a man with a timidity or my inflexibility. He pitied his timidity or my inflexibility, but he never indulged in violent words or in entreaty. I remember now that when he bade me good-by for the last time he appeared to be uncommonly serious, postulated expectation. He had evidently entertained expectation. He had not been realized. He had hoped for admission to a forum to which, as it turned out, truth was not permitted to enter. "Beware," the sage of Concord says, when the great God lets loose a man on the planet. Then all things are at a risk. It is truth's lord over to stand at the door and knock. Let us not barricade ourselves so closely that a visitor so rare and so timid be frightened away. Let us accept a gift. In the case of an editor an accepted gift is a demand note. To doubt that the man in whose favor it is drawn will present it for payment is to doubt the law of cause and effect. My arrival home one evening I was informed that I had been at the house during the after- W SHE'LL BE ACCEPTING HIM." moon and that it had been consigned to the cellar. I inferred that some one had made me a present, as I was not a wine buyer in those days, and I said carelessly that the matter. Being greatly preoccupied at the little time to myself, the wine epilogue, which never made much of an impression on my mind, escaped me entirely, and for more than a year the book was well-dressed and practically forgotten. One day a well-dressed gentleman called upon me at my office and presented a card showing him to be the representative of a company that I had been asked: "How did you like the wine?" Quick as a flash the whole matter came to me. There was the casual remark to a very busy man that a box of wine was in the cellar. There was the resolution that the box should be examined and the failure to do so. There was the mysterious box somewhere in the cellar, forgotten and now recalled to mind a A demand note had been presented. I was perfectly well aware of that. I knew from the attitude of the man and from the manner in which he looked at me that he regarded me as so much property of the man that he was the most convenient way of making a seizure. The confusion of the moment was disagreeable to me, for I was conscious of inclivity in not acknowledging the receipt of my payment, and I was standing during which I hardly felt equal to the task of dealing with my caller, but, regaining my composition, I concluded to await developments. The gentleman began by telling me that his business had been More than landpipes during the patrols of several very extensive firms, and one line of goods in particular he had been very successful with, because he had testimonials from the highest, medical and surgical authorities in the country. The fact of debility, no stimulant was of greater value than the fine old wine of which he was speaking. It was this brand which had been the best in the nodded Continued on 30 Page QUEER THINGS AT CAPE NOME. ABEL WRITEHEAD, the chief assayer at the mint, who has just started for Cape Nome, will finally things to instigate him up there. He will Schrader, the government geologist, newly returned from that region. "For one oddity, he will come across numbers of United States silver coins to coinage to the fact that the pieces of white metal have been utilized in a very peculiar way by the miners. Their customary method of separating gold from the sands of the beeches is to cover the bottom of the coins with silver coins, which is painted with quicksilver. The latter has an affinity for the yellow stuff, seizing every particle that comes in contact with it. Until recently the supply of copper available for this purpose was limited, but the miners adopted the method of using silver coins instead, applying the quicksilver to them. As a substitute they work perfectly, and I know one man who had his rocker bottom tiled with sixty-four large round coins, which, when dispensed with silver coins, is called "When the gold has been caught upon the copper or silver, with the help of the quicksilver, it is separated from the mercury by heating, and this part of the business is accomplished by the miner in a martyring frying pan. The quicksilver, being voluble, passes off and leaves in the pan a chunk of pure gold, having the form of a coin, and is then melted or else like that of a rounded, beady mass composed of grains, flakes and coalesced particles of the precious metal. In this shape the gold is utilized as material in the vicinity of Cape Nome, and the miners are forced to accept it in payment for food supplies and other goods, reckoning it at a value of $16 per ounce. At this rate they make a considerable profit, inasmuch as the which is purer than the average gold of the United States, is really worth $18 or $19 an ounce. "The gold obtained from the beach at Cape Nome is in very fine particles, varying in size from a pinhead to more dust. "Flour gold" the dust is called, "the dust of the coast," on account of the erudence of the apparatus and methods employed for separating it from the sands. Small nuggets, worth about $1.50 apiece, at a maximum, are obtained from the beach gold has been reduced to powder by the incessant grinding of the surf, and because of the same friction it is remarkably bright and pure, resembles fresh water. "On the other hand, the nuggets dug out of the creeks and gulches in that neighborhood are dull, like tarnished brass. These nuggets, as a rule, are of the same size, and are rich in the gravels of the streams which have torn them away from the rocks, and often small bits of quartz are found. It is proved to prove the theory of their derivation. "The coarser gold is confined to the creek and gulch diggings, the nuggets varying in size from a pinhole to several hundred nuggets, weighing twenty and twenty-two worth $200 and $400, were picked up on an Avilreek not long ago, while lumps half an ounce or an ounce in weight are not rare. Much of the gulch gold comes from the creek, although Although the yellow stuff at Cane Nose is all of it derived from rocks not very far away, nobody knows as yet just where it comes from. Quartz veins are hard and in that region on account of the thick moss that covers most of the country. "During century after century the streams have worn away the rocks and carried their debris of gravel and gold deposited in the creeks and glaciers, while some was laid down in the sands along the shore. The bluff that runs along the shore, composed of such debris, and how the water has moved it, cutting it away pleasurable. As the land is eaten away the material is carried seaward by the underwater, leaving the gold works its way downward into the loose sand near the water line, and thus accumulates, be prevented from slinking very deep by a layer of stiff blue water." "The gold-bearing beach area at Cape Nome is a strip of fine gravel and sand 100 to 150 yards wide and extending from the waterline to the bluff. It runs along the shore for at least fifteen miles, and the presumption is that it crops out the sand. It is not easy to be ascertained. The apparatus employed by the miners is simply the familiar hand rocker. Each man selects a patch ten or fifteen feet square and shakes a prospect hole down to the blue clay, which is usually found at a depth of about ten feet. The prospect prosects each layer of sand or gravel by panning it, and, when a pay streak is found, he strips off the overlying stuff and sets to work with his rocker. Sometimes all of the gold will lie directly upon the surface of the clay, while in other cases several inches of the sand above the clay will be rich in the metal. "Most of the miners believe that the gold is thrown up by the waves and constantly renewed—an impression that is not shared by the geological observer. It is not shared by the geologist. The stratum of clay, but occurs in patches. It is obvious that plenty of it exists in part of the beach that is under water, inasmuch as some very profitable results have been obtained by dredging and caught on blankets from which it is collected by removing the blanket from the rocker and rinsing it in a bucket of water. Much of the beach material contains magnets, which is in reality magnetic iron ore, and before long it is possible that large electrified magnets may be employed to separate this stuff from the gold which it contains." - Washington correspondence New York WAYS OF CUBAN TEACHERS Contradictions in Their Make-Up and Methods of Doing Math It takes no gift to perceive that the Cuban teachers now in Cambridge possess characteristics which are strikingly diversified.

SATURDAY, JULY 6, 1901 It is enough to make one feel, like things are pretty badly distributed when he has to worry along on a few pennies per day, and then reads about Senator J. N. Camden, of West Virginia, who, though worth $40,000,000, sold some coal lands last week for a price that will give him an income of $1,000 per day, sundays and holidays excepted, for the next forty-eight years. Camden is seventy-three years old now, and so cannot live long to enjoy his income, from that particular deal, of $300,000 per year. Perhaps, too, he is like Andrew Carnegie, who is credited with saying recently to a gentleman who enviied him his wealth: "I am not really to be enviied. How can my wealth help me? I am 60 years old and I cannot digest my food. I would give you all my millions if you could give me youth and health." "Then I shall never forget his next remark. We' had driven some yards in silence when Mr. Carnegie suddenly turned and in hushed voice and with bitterness and depth of feeling quite indescribable said: 'If I could make Faust's bargain I would. I THEN HE STOPPED. Mr. Jameson—I kept house for five days while my wife was away. Then I stopped and went to the hotel. Walter—What for, sir? Mr. Jameson—All the dishes at home were dirty. (Continued From First Page.) painfully, inwardly wishing that I had some remedy for general oblivity close at hand. I had to remember that in the then state of the public health, when thousands of invalids were crying for a pure, refreshing and life-giving wine, the man who stood ready to supply it was a man who was a benefactor. He showed me several letters from clergymen and other proper people whose opinions as to the merits of any particular brand of wine I had never seen were true. He drew from his pocketbook a printed slip nearly one column in length, which he examined carefully for a moment and afterward handed to me with the question, "Can you print that for me to-morrow?" The thing that he wanted printed was an elaborate advertisement of his wine. I looked long enough to ascertain its character and handed it back to him, saying it was a good wine and a pleasant flenement and that it could not be printed except as it came over the counter in the business office at regular rates. I was beginning to feel a greater confidence in myself, and there dawned upon my vistay that I had to instant the thought that possibly he had been after all. During the brief pause that followed I had time to hit upon a plan of escape, and I said: "Until now I have not known to whom I was indebted for the box of wine that came with me a year ago. The servant who received it during my absence declared that there was neither card nor letter to explain, its arrival, and I have been unable to gain any information on the subject. Now that I have the mystery I trust you will send me a letter. I may cancel my indebendness, or, if you prefer, you may send and take the box away." The gentleman soon left me, and a few days later I received a bill for the wine, and I felt a feeling that my carelessness had mettered on an annoyance that had been placed upon me. An editor who accepts gifts and pays for them in the coin which the giver asks is on the road to ruin. The gift is usually a trifle; the price paid is great in more ways than ones. One need courteously wait for the gift to arrive, and presently be troubled with them no more.—"Old Editor," in Chicago Chronicle. Fatherly Wisdom.

BENEATH HIS DIGNITY. would gladly sell anything to have half my life over again." "And I saw his hands clench as he spoke." Wealth does not bring happiness, but, just the same, we don't hear much grumbling from the wealthy because of their wealth. Chicago is responsible for a peculiar case of murder. Stanislaus Stepinski walked the streets of Chicago for eighteen months in search of steady work, but in vain. He saw his wife and three children slowly starving to death. His wife became very despondent and threatened to throw herself under a railroad train and commit suicide, or in some other way end her miserable life. One day she suggested to her husband to kill her and then himself and then the children would be taken care of in some orphan asylum. He agreed to the proposition, went and got his pistol, shot her dead, then turned the gun on himself, inflicting three wounds, which, however, did not prove fatal. He recovered sufficiently to be brought into court, when he plead guilty of murder, and told his story. He was sentenced to the penitentiary for fourteen years. There are very many cases almost as desperate as this in Chicago and other places on which some of the multimillionaires could devote some of their wealth to good advantage all around since the good book says: "Tis more blessed to give than to receive." That one has a right to do as he or she pleases with his or her own we will not question, but we sometimes think some folks might have done better. Recently there died in Donadsonville, La., Mrs. Louis Grant. She had been the favorite slave of Mrs. Louisa Grant, her "ole missus" before the civil war. After the war Mrs. Grant took in washing and saved her money so that when she died she had accumulated considerable money and had invested it so wisely in real estate that competent appraisers figure the worth of houses and lots she owns in Donadsonville at $12,000. She left all her belongings, real and personal, to Mrs. Grant, her "ole missus." Not a cent is left to her own people, and she leaves a large family. It does not often fall to the lot of an Afro-American to be the cynosure of all eyes and receive more attention that W. K. Vanderbilt, but such was the case with Major Taylor, the champion bicyclist, the other day in Paris, France. He was at the depot just about to start for the United States, and was surrounded by a crowd of admirers—all white, of course, as color cuts no ice in Paris—several ladies presenting bouquets to him. W. K. Vanderbilt was a passenger on the same train, but he departed unnoticed by the crowd. The white women of the state of Washington are entitled to much praise for the spirit of fairness which seems to prevail among them. At a recent meeting the State Federation of Women's Clubs the members THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER went on record as strongly opposed to any amendment of the by-laws which shall limit the membership of the general federation to white women. War, besides being a very terrible and barbarous thing, is also very expensive as the Britons find their South African war to be. The war is claimed to be over by some folks, but it's costing England over six million dollars every week. Then just think what must be paid on account of the war in China. The fight against the canteen in the army still progresses, but it is our humble opinion that it will not be very long before it will be doing business at the old stand. This nation was one hundred and twenty-five years old last Thursday, and made considerable noise over the anniversary of its birthday. HOSEKEEPER WANTED.

A Collection of a Few of the Events Occuring Among the Afro-Americans of the Capital of This Great and Glorious Nation for Our Many Readers. Mr. Henry P. Slaughter, of 10th street, entertained a few friends Thursday evening in honor of his guest, Mr. J. H. Spurgeon, secretary of the U. S. Army, and the evening was pleasantly passed and then came delicious Kentucky refreshments. Mr. Spurgeon rendered a baritone solo and Mr. Daniel Murray remembered in "Happy Moments" and "Scholder, Dr. You Can Be a Dog." Those present were Messrs. Albert, Murray, Lee, King, Christian; Joyce, Cune, Asst. Register Adams. Here is a sample of District justice (?) from Washington Post: "Fannie Dorsey and Annie Russell, colored, were in court yesterday, charged with being vagrants. A policeman testified that the two young women were carousing with a party of marines near the Navy Yard Wednesday, and they self-selves badly. Judge Kimbail found them each $5 and sent them to the workhouse for fifteen days in default. The policeman said that Annie Russell threw a whisky bottle in the street and broke it, and for this she got off punishment. What became of the marines? Why were they not punished? Fifteen days for smashing a whisky bottle is a rather severe punishment. Prof. George W. Cook has been named by the President as a member of the Board of Charities of the District of Columbia. Prof. Cook is a member of the faculty at Howard University, and his selection is in the hands of the Board, which is composed of five members, of which Mr. S. W. Woodward is president, and has been doing good work among the needy of the National Capital. Commissioner Macfarland, president of the board, has had direct charge of the work, and much pleased with the work of Prof. Cook, the only colored member. It was upon his recommendation that Prof. Cook was chosen to succeed himself, as according to the manner in which the members were selected Prof. Cook's term was but for one year. The other four members were three, four, and five years, respectively. The appointe now enters upon a term of five years. Mrs. Sarah Holmes Saturday filed her answer to the bill for divorce presented to the Supreme Court of the district on June 14 last by her husband, Janet. She has also charged his charges of infidelity, and declares he 'has been 'constantly associated with other women. She asks that the suit be dismissed, and also asks $350 as counsel retainer fees, and $100 as alloy money for month her support during the pendency of the suit. If her husband fails to provide her with a suitable home after that hearing of the cause, she may be required to impel him to pay her permanent alloy. In her motion for alimony, Mrs. Holmes declares her husband is one of the wealthiest Afro-Americans in the National Capital. He has for a year worked as a saloon and restaurant at 333 Wingate avenue southwest. Twenty years ago, she says, when they were married, she was in service, making $2.50 a week. He was also in service, making $3 per week. She states that by working side by side in economy, and close attention to business, she has accumulated large sums of money, all of whom now in the name of her husband. She sets forth that Holmes is now worth $150,000 in real and personal property, and shows that he owns about seven degrees, of property to her knowledge, from her parents, and aggregating $179 per month. She declares his income every month from other sources is from $800 to $1,000.

It comes as something of a shock to realize that Massachusetts is smaller than Vermont. One always has a hazy, general impression that the Bay State is three or four times as large as the Green Mountain Commonwealth, superficially. But it isn't so. Vermont has (according to a just published census bulletin) 9,655 square miles, whereas Massachusetts has but 8,325. And there are five other states of the union smaller. Vermont—New Hampshire is 260 square miles, though if it were spread out flat it would doubtless be much bigger than Vermont. Connecticut, Rhode Island, Delaware and New Jersey are the four other states that are smaller than Vermont. But all make, a terribly poor figure when compared with Texas. Texas, may it please your royal highness, has 265,780 square miles, and is more 28 times as big as Vermont, and is one-fourteenth of the whole United States. It were as thickly populated as Vermont have a population of about 9,000,000 whereas, as a matter of fact, it has but 3,600,000. The Texans have plenty of elbow room. Next to Texas in size comes California, with 155,360 square miles, and then follow Montana, 146,680; Nevada, 110,700, and Colorado, 103,259—all that are the states having a hundred thousand square miles and then a Alaska knocks them all, with 150,884 square miles, and, at the other extreme, a leader experiences a delicate surprise that Hawaii, over which so much fuss has been made, is a good deal smaller than Vermont, having but 6,449 square miles—Pennsylvania Grit.

The city is also one of the most well-modulated and well-classified powers developed and secured.

The American Museum of Natural History is making preparations to install one of the largest and most valuable collections of gems in the world. The new exhibit embraces a magnificent collection of precious gems, stones, and pearls of the United States shown at the Paris fair, which there received the grand prize. The entire collection has been purchased by J. Pierpont Morgan and presented to the Museum. Their value is said to be over $200,000. The most valuable gems are four diamonds, the largest being found in Wauksha, Wis, of purest quality, weighing 15 12-32 of a carat. This is considered a priceless stone, as it is the largest and best specimen ever found in the United States. The other, a diamond of 3 4-16 carats, is from Dane county, Oregon, and two others were extracted from meteorites found in the Canyon Diablo, Arizona. Of the stones which are of the greatest value produced in the United States the following are in the collection: Turquiope, 20 varieties, all from New Mexico, the largest coming from Las Corillas, weight 39 carats; Turquiope, 20 varieties of turquoise, obtained from the sand in the Bay of the San Doningo Indians. Fourteen specimens of sapphires are shown,十个 Montana and three from North Carolina, the largest being seventen and one-fourth carats, found in Yogo gulch, Fergus county, Montana—Chicago Journal. She Dances Like a Siren I held my breath as I watched the gypsy in the Seville dancing hall; I felt myself gwaying unconsciously to the rhythm of her body, of her necking hands, of the glittering smile that came and went in her eyes. I seemed to be drawn into a shining whirlpool, in which I turned, turned, hearing the buzz of the water settling over my head. The guitar buzzed, buzzed in a prancing rhythm, the gypsy colled about the floor in her trailing dress, the knees bent, with a rapidity concentrated upon itself; her hands beckoned, reached out, clutched, clutched delicately, lived to their finger tips; her body straightened, bent, the knees bent and straightened, the heels beat on the floor, carrying her backward and round; the toes pointed, paused, pointed, and the body drooped or rose into immobility, a smiling, significant pause of the whole body. Then the motion began again, more vivid, more restrained, as if teased by some unseen limits, as if she was in a dream, an ideal of escape, as if caught in its own toils. —Arthur Symons in London Saturday Review Testing a Fast Trolley. In Philadelphia a fast trolley car is being tested. It takes newspapers in the early morning to Chestnut Hill, fourteen and three-quarter miles away. It runs at a rate of thirty-five miles an hour, including a stop at least every three-quarter of a mile. Occasionally, it has run a mile in a minute and an eighth, and it has made the entire distance in twenty-five minutes, stops which is the same time as the trains make for the same distance. We are to ourselves like a closed book. -Faber John F. Crowell, of Brooklyn, a writer on economic subjects, says that the most ambitious people in the South today are Afro-Americans.

The fourth annual session of the National Afro-American Council will be held at Philadelphia, Pa., (probably in the City Council Chamber), Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 7, 8 and 9, 1901. It is hoped that every church, college, benevolent society, and other race organizations, and editors of race newspapers, will be represented. It is the purpose of the officers to make this meeting the largest and most potent for good of any which the council has ever held. In recent years Philadelphia has been the storm center of several important national gatherings for the discussion of the race question, and the outcome has not always been the most favorable for the Negro. We now have an opportunity to refute the erroneous statements which have been made there, and change the unfavorable sentiment which has been created by some of the enemies of the race who have selected the "Quaker City" as the forum from which to ouri their philippies against a loyal and inoffensive people on account of their color and previous condition of servitude. Again, it is our earnest desire to collect sufficient funds at this meeting to pay the remaining expenses of our Louisiana Test Case. We have just re-released the case to our counsel, Lawyer A. A. Birmer of the Law School, D. C., informing us that the case is progressing satisfactorily. (A full report of this case will be made at the Philadelphia meeting). We have already paid $1,000 for counsel fees, and we have already paid $1,000 for representations more will be needed when the final decision has been rendered by the Supreme Court of the United States. If there ever was a time when every Negro church, college, benevolent society, school, or organizations should send representatives, the annual tax of five dollars, to a great national gathering, now is that time. The meeting should be so great in numbers and influence as to forever change the statement that the Negro is not interested in his civil and political rights. The basis of membership, as provided for by the constitution, is: "The Afro-American Council shall be composed of members as follows (1) All members of the National Council, the Afro-American Council delegates, representing duly accredited Local Councils. (3) Affiliated delegates; representing organizations of similar plans and purposes, the Afro-American Council. Every local Afro-American Council shall be entitled to representation in the National Council by delegates elected on a basis of one delegate to every fifty members, said delegates representing the delegation of credentials and payment of the tax of five dollars. Religious and secular organizations which have for their aim and work the mental and moral resources of the nation right to co-operate with the National Council, may be represented by affiliated delegates, not more than two delegates to each organization. Said delegates representing the right to vote upon payment of five dollars may be represented by editors of Afro-American newspapers and principals of academic schools and colleges may be admitted to membership in the National Council upon presentation of credentials and payment of the annual tax of five dollars." The citizens of Philadelphia are preparing to entertain the Council on a visit to the University of Pennsylvania fare and a third on the certificate plan has been granted on all railroads for delegates. Those who intend visiting Philadelphia an Exposition at Buffalo on their wives will be allowed a "stop over" at Philadelphia, thus getting the advantage of the half-fare rates. TUESDAY, JULY 17, 2015, PRESIDENT National Aft-Atomic COUNTRY T. THOMAS FORTUNE, Chairman Executive Committee. CYRUS FIELD ADAMS, General Secretary. P. S.-Let the organizations named above, especially the chairs and lodges, elect the delegates as as soon as possible and send their names to Bishop A. Walters, 228 Duncan ave, Jersey City N. J., or Cyrus Field Adams, 228 "34" St. N. W., Washington D. C. ANNAPOLIS LIBERTY TREE. The Washington clim is more widely known than the pine tree in America, but it must share with the Liberty tree of Annapolis the honor of playing a part in rocking the cradle of liberty. The Liberty tree is a tulip tree (liriodendron tulipera), sometimes also called tulip poplar. Tradition says that the people of Annapolis met in the troubled days before the revolution to consult together and listen to Samuel Chase in his arrangement of King George. At that time its spread of branches was far beyond anything known of it by this generation. It is also a tradition that Washougal Laffette banqueted in its shade. Laffette tradition handed down to us of the imperial poplar树 that adorns the college campus it served as the canopy under which the colonists and Indians made a treaty of peace. As history records only one document of this kind signed here, this treaty must have been the one agreed between the colonists and the sturdy Susquehannocks in 1652. The next public use of it we find in "Eddies' Letters," used when the inhabitants assembled under it to determine whether or not persons who have not joined the Association of Patriots should be driven out of the colony. In 1652 Laffette was entertained under it playing under several trees with that very dangerous but powerful aid of juvenile sport—bungead. They had about it in the hollow of it, the tree where it was ignited and exploded, setting fire to the grand old tree. The citizens of Annapolis repaired in force for its rescue, the firemen bringing out the city fire engine and deluging the tree with water. The boys' escapade was no doubt greatly denounced, but the juveniles had done better than the juveniles' counselors thought or the juveniles' counselors thought. The tree had fallen into a state of despair and endured its life. The next year it put forth branches with its youth renewed. The explosion had destroyed the worm that were gnawing away its vitals. One-third of the trunk is gone and is boarded up. The body of the tree is a mere shell—a marvel how its life can be maintained and thousands of tulips bloom on its branches in their season.—Chicago Journal. Aguinaldo and the Reward for Him. Here is a story about Aguinaldo which the English paper are printing. It is interesting, if not true: On one occasion, soon after he was recognized as leader of the revolutionary party, a reward of $25,000 was offered for his head. He wrote to the Spanish governor-general that he wanted the leader to deliver himself up on payment of the reward. One day a monk whose clothes injured his safe passage to the convent chiefs' presence entered the room and throwing back his cowl revealed the presence of Aguinaldo himself. "I want that money and I have come for it," he said, drawing a revolver; "pay now or die!" The man paid, and Aguinaldo, with the money in his pocket, retired as he had come, a monk—New York Press. Form the resolution not only to believe in all exalted principles, but to be by itself in all the words and settings—Silvia Pellico. DR. O. D.

Dr. Augustus Waller has recently made some interesting experiments which have attracted considerable attention. His endeavor has been to discover a method of demonstrating whether an animal tissue is dead or living, and as a result he has found that by sending a current through such tissue and then connecting it to the poles of a sensitive galvanometer that there will be a back rush of current perceived if the tissue is living, while if not there will be no appreciable effect. Quite late the doctor has been conducting on this principle a series of experiments on eggs the first object of interest in the first instance of life. In general he found that non-incubated, sterile or putrefied eggs failed to give the back rush current, while those containing an embryo in state of development always gave it. With incubated eggs he first removed a small portion of the shell from the upper and lower sides, holding the eggs horizontally, so that the passage of the current, applying the electrodes to the membrane, thus laid bare. At beginning of incubation a small body was formed. After twenty-four hours, and upon back rush the wastestable, and upon beetle development. After forty-eight hours currents in the noticeable plus of 0.0022 volt and—0.0006 to 0.0012 volt. Upon opening, the vascular area was found to be well developed and the heart beat vigorous. He continued his experiments up to twelve days, finding the back rush to constantly increase, with the increase of life in the embryo. In contrasts however, the results were negative, and the eggs wastestable. One of the eggs was found to be sterile and in the other putrid, both, consequently, sustained the proposition. In a number of similar experiments he obtained like results, and also with eggs in a mass like frogs' eggs. One of his most striking experiments was with certain animalcules, which when dried appear to possess no signs of life, but which when exposed to moisture revive. In them the results followed the same order, being negative during the quiescent stage and showing a back rush when exposed to water. One of the tissues rendered insensible by anaesthetics spended in the same way, giving no reaction until the effect of the anaesthetic was removed, when they gave the characteristic electrical reaction.—Philadelphia Times. TEA CULTURE IN AMERICA It Has Passed from the Experimental to the Realization Period. A deal of humor has been expended on the tea gardens and no man was more ridiculed than William G. Le Duc of Minnesota for expressing the belief when he had charge of the old agricultural bureau that American tea drinkers would one day be getting all the tea they want out of American soil. The South Carolina tea culture has been often described, but Mrs. Ellis writes in a more hopeful vein than others. After inaugurating tea culture in 1881 the government gave it up in 1883 on the ground that climatic conditions were unfavorable. Dr. Shepard, a gentleman of culture, then undertook to produce the tea and set up a government with tea seed from Asia. In 1884, C, he has shown that the tea plant can be successfully cultivated in the South Atlantic section of this country and tea made commercially profitable. He has overcome all alleged climatic difficulties and tested all available varieties of tea and soils. Dr. Shepard has seventy-five acres planted to tea and other tea gardens have been opened. It costs 27½ cents a pound to produce the American tea and he sells it (at retail) at $1 a pound. He expects to reduce the cost of production to 14 cents are long. At the wholesale selling price of 50 cents a pound the producer gets a profit of 22½ cents a pound. It is shown that, with some profit per acre is nearly $70, while no more than $200 acre. The prospect of raising tea for home consumption is apparently good. We consume nearly 93,000,000 pounds a year of tea. If we produced a new and profitable industry, employing many thousands of people, would be established. The feat does not seem impossible of accomplishment. NataKs Mimosa Hark An important industry has sprung up in Natal during the last few years in the growing of wattle trees (Acacia mollisima, or mimosa), the bark of which is exported to Great Britain and to the continent for tanning purposes. The trees are planted in close rows so that they grow tall and straight with few branches except near the top; some will attain a height of 10 to 15 meters to soil and climate. The bark is cut cleanly ground and beaten with the back of an ax to loosen and split it. Then it is removed by hand and torn into strips, the latter being twelve feet or more in length. The tree is then cut down, the branches and top lopped off, and the trunk thoroughly barked. The pieces are then cut into ten feet lengths and tied into bundles of about fifty pounds weight and dried. When dry, the strips are again cut up and packed into a box. The export. A good plantation will yield a good amount of per acre, and its present value per acre, and packed is 55 a hundred-weight. In 1895 the value of the export from Natal was £17,200; in 1898 the export had risen to £30,929. Toothpicks Taken from Restaurants "I'd like to know what my customers do with all the toothpicks they carry away," says a restaurant pro. "Few men take a single toothpick. Most of them take half a dozen, do an armful of hole handful, and when they come in be be again for the next meal they take it, man over again. They don't need that. He due to the toothpick chewing habit, which seems to be growing. There isn't anything particularly pleasant about chewing a wooden toothpick, and it may be injurious if a piece of the wood lodges in the throat or gets down into the stomach, as it is very to忙 to do."
