The Appeal

VOL.17.NO.35. MRS. LANGTRE FROM A RECENT PHOTO T. HILLIERS, Isle of Jersey, Aug. 10—Twice fortunate are the summer guests in St. Aubin's, Isle of Man, where they which they may enjoy each day the greatest warriors in the hosts around Troy would have given their lives when they sighed in vain at the beauty of the Helen only sighed back and blemoned her fateful beauty. The modern Helen of Troy goes out each morning before daylight and catches fish that are sold to the St. Aubin's for all the guests to eat. The form which has tempted a score of Parisses is hidden now under the plain print gown, primly and unbeautiful cut, with a simple lace collar. Her menuslae to ruin, madness and death in hidden quaintty beneath the bonnet of a Jersey fishwife. The hands that once feed the royal backbone of a present woman now pull and haul on coarse fishing lines and handle squirmig eels and foundering soles and gaping pollock. Emelle Charlotte Le Breton Langry de something simply simpler than simplicity. Her bark is not royal and her servitor, who goes to sea with her, is not young or beautiful or at all likely to become a victim of the prumphs of an unendangered smoker is a smoker an undenable reek to it, and his beard grows in honest Channel fashion below his chin and half around his throat like a snake.

He puts another lobworm on his hop or takes a fish off with the same degree of interest as he wounds display were the The boat is not even distantly like the White Lady of Squire Abingdon Baird and Black Eye memory. It is just the plain, blunt-nosed, heavily built, roughly hawn fishing boat common to the Chan net islands. The Lily sits in the stern and makes occasion remarks about the weather or the tide, to which her unimpressionable boatman responds with grunts and snorts as he rows to the fish.

Fishing is always good around the Isle of Jersey and the Bay of St. Aubin's is particularly populous with the. They run in along the deep channel that almost encircles Jersey, and there is hardly a tide that swirls from the outer sea, where the water is 100 feet and more deep. That does not bring in schools, or shoals as they call them there, of both bottom and surface feeding fish. grown wise, and they can get the tidbit and escape the barb, which is more than can be said of other fish that the Lily has fished for in her day. In St. Aubin's as in London and America, poor Ringe de Rache is entirely overlooked as a factor in the varted life of the Lily, and she is known still as Mrs. Langtry and, no doubt, will so be known until she dies and long after, whatever impudent tradesmen's boys or blunders. quaintly by two queer creatures. On sits a big blue and white China cat, on the other is a life-size China pig, primiment of old maiden ladies should here behold the dainty blinds, peek half-cightened at whatever any ruffling of their simple and innocent lives more alarming than the thoughest of occasional dreadful encounters w. impudent tradesmen's boys or blunders. Lily Langray is a good fisherwoman. She does not permit herself to miss a tide by dawdling in bed, but often is at the landing stage as early as 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning. She is a manhunter is a fisherman, and he will have no beauty step interfere with his duties. So, since the Lily will not go out with any one else and he will not remain ashore a moment after it is time, for the Lily or any other fish she catches is a manhunter when he is. It isn't dainty fishing, and it must be confessed regretfully that Helen of Jersey is not a dainty sportswoman. She uses no rod, but contents with the common, vulgar hand line of the potter's wheel actually what she does. All of her catch is sold regularly to the hotels and boarding houses of St. Aubin's. Contrary to the custom of womankind generally, the "recently" Lady De Bathe decided to learn to catch eels. Perishing amuses her and makes her think of the wrigling of other victims that she hooked with even more ease. Jersey eels are not so easy to hook. They have of death before battle. "yes and no," he replied. "On the eve of an engagement, the soldiers and countryside have been feeling killed, and, of course, in some cases, the presence is bound to come true. The soldiers are valuable in premonitions of that kind. The one is fulfilled hundreds come to naught and are forgotten." THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEATOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY AUGUST 31, 1901. OUR MODERN HELEN of the FATAL EYES GOES OUT DAILY in a FISHWIFE'S GOWN and BONNET grown wise, and they can get the tdbit and escape the barb, which is more than can be said of other fish that the Lily has fished for in her day. In St. Aubin's, as in London and America, poor Hugo de Bathe is entirely overlooked as a factor in the vartied life of the youngest of the Lantry and, no doubt, will so be known until she dies and long after, whatever matrimonial adventures may be in store for her in the years to come. It is a sad fact that she was the first man who first fell under the spell of her face in this very island, when more than a quarter of a century ago his pretty yacht sailed into St. Hillers Bay and man who first fell under the spell of her eyes who read of and pine for the romantic days when the Pompadours and the Maintenues and the Marle Annie intrigue and royal love for a time to play at shepherdesses and milkmaids. Surely of them all there has been no scene more romantic and more worth thinking on, and of them all there has been to the place of her simple youth, when she was a Jersey Lily in real and pretty truth, to play at being a simple and innocent father girl once more, after such a few of the women of history have had. She is living here in a little modest cottage, a dainty thing of green and white. Its roof shines, like a lily itself, among the dusky trees that half hide it from the road. The gate posts are surmounted veteran continues, "or a very curious experience of my own. It was on the night before Shiloh, and a dozen or so company company were talking, half in fact, of the war, wounded in the battle which we all knew would take place next day. One said he would be willing to sacrifice a finger to his country, another said he would finally to get it in the foot, and finally somebody in the party turned to quaintly by two queer creatures. On one sits a big blue and white China cat, and on the other is a life-size China pig. The other sits behind the dainty blinds, peering half-frightened at the world, innocent of any ruffling of their simple and innocent lives more alarming than the thoughts with impudent tradeemans boy or tourist tourists. Surely it is a violent wrench to the imagination to conceive that in this quiet retreat there could live any except the gulless Jersey lady, to whom the tales of the modest and Semiramis are nothing but fables, quite impossible to conceive as being true. Behind those animal-capped gates there is the dearest and sweetest Old World cat, the shy flowers of the modest and shy flowers of the China—none of fit for an attentive but buttonhole of a prince or the corsage of his favorite. From the bushes there peers a modest summer house of just the size of a small apartment, a place for a quiet, domestic country cone. One might sit and dream there of the love of Paul and Virginia, but of Antony and Caesar and Paris—never, not as the emperor of India. That and those soft seats harbor no memories of scenes more exciting than the love of Pierre, the fisherman, for Susanace, the sailor's daughter. That whole island. For Susanace, the world harbors no memory of a wild tale to the one that has made its name famous me. say, sergeant, exclamation, venus where you would rather be hit if I were to attack you. I don't want to stop a bullet at all. I replied, but if that's my fate, I think I should be hit. They all laughed at the saty, and the chaffing turned to something else. "Next day we were in the thick of the battle, and we were in the rade fall, and at last we were left of the battle." Defective Page in our generation. Does she who is the heroine of it carry inconvenient memories around with her? The would say not. Surely, if memory were inconvenient she would not still call her abode by the man's mansion cottage. Merman was her horse that won the Goodwood cup. He won it day when she married Hugo de Batha, and rented this cottage for the honeymen that wandered before it had risen. If memories are inconvenient there is no sign of it in those two laughing, joyful, simple women, the Lily and her pretty narrow graveled path, picking up pruning bushes and attending to the other charming garden occupations of nice English country women. There is no sign of it, or of a past that could conjure up it, in place of that that goes with a spring step and merry step the still night is at its stillest, to sail out into the beautiful moonlit bay 'to go a-fishing. Never did Izak Walt discontent, more innocent and hearted than it is, that was the Helen of the modern world. It is a beautiful shiny beach from which the Lily and her mariner start. It is the sea, where it beats on the headlands and the ear, but it comes from far away. One can see the play of the rough channel waters, where the moon rays fall on them. The waves make it into a mass of silvery crinkles. But you only a gentle ripple rolls, as a reminder of the greater waves outside. One wonders if the Lily ever notices the paranoid steps into the present life as she steps into the rough course to pursue new and harmless pleasure. Fishing in these seas is different from what it is in American shore waters. The common fish that are taken with hook line for market are mackerel, pollock, fish line for fishing, lobster lines, lime and eels. Of the latter there are two knights, our command found itself in that frightful death trap afterward known to history as 'The Hornet's Nest.' We were striving desperately to hold out position, and I myself was kneeling behind a little bush, firing as rapidly as I could reload my musket. I had just been placed in the right arm raised in the act of driving home the ramrod, when I felt a terrific blow on the side of my head, and the immense conger, often weighing as much as twelve and fourteen pounds, and running up to fifty pounds, occasionally, and the common eel, exactly the same as American fresh and salt water eels. The bass is a fine white fish, running in weight about three pounds, and about three. Mackerel and pollock are like the American kind and run about the same in weight. The eels and other bottom fish, such as the delicious sole and dabs, are taken by still fishing from an island, and the other fish are taken by trolling from an island but from an ordinary fishing boat prepaired with oars. The English sea fisherman, even when he fishes for sport, is only just beginning to learn to use fine tackle. The array of instruments of capture most usually seen in the sea are a paddlemester, is a favorite. At each corner of it are hooks. Then a mighty lead is attached, and the internal machine is tossed into the sea to catch what it can. When they use rods, English sea fisherman uses lines made of piano wire. The hooks are not as strong as they but are as uncouch as English shoes and waterproofs and bicycles. So the Lily does not look like the pictures that one sees in American newspapers on the summer resort pages, where the prettiest fish are caught by fly rods. Rather, Mrs. Lantry's fishing tackle and mode of fishing would be in keeping with thick-soiled sea boots and tarred souwaters. To handle the heavy tackle and to pull in anything that might be caught, the dresdenness and skill so much as it does muscle, and she has it. instantly something wet poured over my face and neck. Supposing, of course, that I had been hit, and was being deluged with blood, I put up my hand, and was amazed to find it simply covered with water. Incredible as the canteen, and the bullet had given the big tn bottle such an amuseus that it had earled up and struck me just above the ear. If I had been in any $2.40 PER YEAR. es Fish take all her own fish off the book, except tails eke. They also, are left for the mariner to handle, and he does it with tethering, and having seen much of the world, knows how to dress them with woman and her strang and uncountable ways. Occasionally the two fishers get a prize for their fine tintor or a brill or a dab. Then they are in writing, and Mrs. Langtry arrives ashore showing more pride than she appeared to show once when Edward was her slave, and she is being suspected of the crime of comparing Edward and a turbot. Generally the chief line of fishing is for these. Of these the one it is taken well inside the bay, in comparatively low water; but the big and fierce anger has to be sought in the deep channels near the ocean, and there are some great tails lady and stupendous sea monsters, that unfortunately, always broke away, and so never been weighed. But they are true stories undoubtedly, for every angler Only occasionally does she keep any of the fish for herself. They all belong, under agreement, to the ancient mariner, and holding house proprietors, who have their customers for years. Occasionally some guest will pay him a gratuity for the sake of getting a particular fish that has been caught. The fish is usually only happens rarely now, since the novelty has worn off, and the fish caught by the dainty hands of England's beauty are sed, for just the same price as those of the dainty hands of fists of one of England's hearts of oak. Lily Langtry loves this land of her birth, indeed. The other day some one asked her what place of all that she had been, and she said at once: "Jersey, unquestionable." "In my opinion," she went on, "Jersey is the best British seaside holiday resort. Its sensible temperature makes it comfortable, and she flowers and beauty of vegetation, the hundreds of miles of "bowered" lanes to which one can retreat when the delights of the shore pail, the interesting people of the coast, the foreign language give it precedence. "Moreover, it presents a coast as wild as Cornwall and coves, caves and rocks as Norway. It is well appointed and reasonable in tariff. There are excellent facilities for deep sea and fresh water fishing, and lovely drives, golf, tennis, crocket, croquet, bowls and bathing may be freely indulged in. There are places for rest or pleasure, presenting almost infinite variety. My vote is for Jersey." That the Lily has no present intention, however, of remaining here and becoming an annotor is shown by the care she has taken by the sun. Long before it is high, she burns her face, often before the summer boarders in St. Aubin. She have begun their early morning beauty sleep. she is landed and has vanished behind the shades of the prim green and white cottage with her long hair. She is locally voyal China pig. That she is only a summer resident of Jersey is shown also by the care which is being taken of her London house and of her sporting house in Newmarket. So there is no immediate manner that she will retire to be a dromedarian forever in her native place. When the summer is ended she will turn from eels and bream to the London house, where the big grizzly in the hall speaks of a ranch in Covote valley in Southern California. Memories? They cannot be seen, but she does. If she sees that smarting grizzly would vanish from human sight. But instead, evidently she delights in having trophies of her campaigns in her every haunt. Mernan cottage in Jersey, reminders of her California ranch in London, souvenirs everywhere of his royal highness in Newmark, where is lacking is that she writes book. The ranch is not so complete between her and that other Helen who sat at her loom in Priam's palace where her Golden web her one sad story crown, The Canadian war she weaved (these prose) And the dire triumphs of her fatal eyes. other position I should have been bored through and through; and, in spite of my deadly peril, I was so impressed by the incident that I kept the souvenir, the candle teneteen and sent it home as a souvenir.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 31, 1901. Quite a number of the theories that have been held in reference to the Afro-American have from time to time been exploded. It used to be supposed that the Afro-American knew more about, and was the greatest lover of watermelons on earth, but this season a white man has succeeded, after years of experimenting, in producing a seedless watermelon, and we have heard of many Afro-Americans who cannot bear the taste or even the smell of them. It was supposed by many that the Afro-Americans were rapidly dying out, but the recent census has knocked the stuffing out of that. "Policy" is a game that was supported by many belong exclusively to the "man and brother," but the fact is he simply ain't in it with his white brother. "Policy" is another game which was also thought to be run for his special benefit—or detriment—but that idea is as far from the truth now-a-days as the Arctic explorers are from the discovery of the North Pole. But the straw that breaks the camel's back is the smashing of the theory that the only chicken thieves are Afro-Americans. Why, they can't get a ```markdown ``` A BAD BREAK.

Mother Potato Bug—Run, children; get under this toadstool! We are going it chance to steal any, for the white throves. We heard a story about an Afro-American police officer who was ordered by the chief to "go and catch the nigger who is stealing so many chickens." He laid for the thief and caught him red-handed and took him to the chief and said, "Here, Chief, is your nigger." He was a white man blacked up. The latest, however comes from Woodbury, Conn., where papers are out for the arrest of Mrs. Catherine A. Preston, wife of C. J. Preston, for years prominent and popular and influential in woman's work and society. She is a peculiar woman. Her cellar was found full of chickens which have been identified as among those stolpm during several weeks back, when the town has suffered from this kind of petty thieving. Mrs. Preston will say nothing until Monday, but her husband is enraged and there is little doubt that if she is convicted he will quickly apply for a divorce. She is an acknowledged beauty, a fine dancer and intellectual, and her friends say it is kletternia if she stole. The Prestons, her husband's people, are among the blue bloods of the town. The father before he died kept the village store, and of the other two sons one was a justice and town clerk near Woodbury, and the other had a seat on the New York stock exchange for several years. The Caucasian-American snobs who recently endeavored to introduce the damnable American color-line into England met their Waterloo when they protested to Manager Richardson, of St. Ermin's hotel, against the entertainment of Afro-Americans. Mr. Richardson, who refused to accede to their demands, deserves a token of our appreciation of his services in the great battle for equal rights now being waged by the dark races. An effort is being made to procure a proper testimonial. The following letter is self-explanatory: Washington, D. C., Aug. 26, 1901. Bishop B. W. Arnett. Ecumenical Council, London, England. Dear Bishop In the last issue of my paper, THE APPEAL, it was suggested that the manly action of Manager Richardson, of St. Ermity's Hotel, in refusing to accept American snubs, who protested against the entertainment of Afro-Americans at his hotel, is worthy of the greatest consideration by the Afro-American people. I think that the Afro-Americans should show their appreciation in some tangible form, and I suggest that the delegates belonging to the colored races present to Manager Richardson a token of some kind to show gratification at his noble stand. Feeling that I will take up this matter and carry it to a successful issue, I send herewith money order for Ten Dollars as my contribution. Wishing you success, I am Your friend. CYRUS FIELD ADAMS.

Since old ben tillman has set him up as his champion of the white female virtue, he can, we opine, find an excellent field for his labors in Prus- THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER STUDY IN OUTLINE THE TRUST sia. According to recent dispatches Hanover has become notorious as a den of vice. Two trials just ended have thrown a flood of light on the dark places in this most aristocratic of Prussian cities. A wealthy citizen named Tonnemacher was found guilty of ill treating eleven children whose ages ranged from eleven to fourteen years. Another of the most widely known men of the town was accused of the same crime. Both trials revealed the startling fact that many children were sunk into the most loathsome vice from the very earliest childhood. At the present moment fifty trials are pending in Hanover of persons accused of crimes against morality, two being officers in high standing. But we don't believe old tillman is as anxious to save the white women as he is to destroy black men. The headlines in the Southern papers are often unjust to the Afro-American race and misleading. A recent number of the Atlanta Constitution had in flaming letters: "SOAKED WITH OIL, NEGRO IS BURNED HE HAD COMMITTED THE CRIME WHICH USUALLY PROMPTS A LYNCHING." This particular man was CHARGED with rape. Now, notwithstanding the efforts of the Southern press to prove to the contrary, it has been shown that not more than 16 NG STORM. per cent of the Afro-Americans who are lynched are even CHARGED with rape. Recently an Afro-American was charged with rape and lynched. It was afterward shown that he had never been nearer than 150 feet of the woman. There is a war going on across the big pond which we would like to see extended to this country, the war against trailing skirts. In Switzerland notices are posted on the trees that wearers of trailing skirts will be fined. In Ischl, upper Austria, there have been several instances of skirts of unsuspecting beings being torn by rabid sanitarians. At Ems, Prussia, the authorities have put up a notice that no long skirts are to be admitted within the precincts of the gardens, and the janitor refuses admission to those whose skirts are too long. The color question among the women's clubs is still in a state of great uncertainty. The scheme of reorganization which, as we understand it, will result in the admission of the Afro-American women's clubs, has been formally favored by the federations of Rhode Island, Washington and South Carolina, while three states, Arkansas, Kentucky and South Dakota have indorsed Georgia's proposed amendment, which limits membership in the general federation to clubs of white women. It seems that old ben tillman has but one eye, and he got a cinder in that the other day, while traveling in RIDE A STUDY IN BLACK AND WHITE South Carolina, which almost put it out. It may be that the fact that he has but one eye causes him to only see one side of the Afro-American's case in equity. But among the 10,000,000 Afro-Americans in the United States, not one will shed tears if he loses his only optic. The Afro-Americans lost another of the few real tried and true friends they have left in the death Monday in St Paul of Wilford L. Wilson, familiarly known as "Dgacon Wilson." He was one of the old-time anti-slavery men, who was our friend when it tried the souls of men to be our friends. Would to God we had a few millions of Wilsons now-a-days. Of course the Afro-American was to blame. In a recent fight on the "Shoo Fly" train on the Georgia Southern railway between the baggageman and an Afro-American porter, the porter was shot and instantly killed. There were no witnesses to the tragedy. The black man is dead and the white man says he was obliged to kill him in self-defense. They are still tilmanizing the Afro-Americans down South. Mississippi is somewhat ashamed of her record along those lines, however, and we look for some measures to be inaugurated to lessen the number of lynch- mgs. HER PREFERENCE. She—I doan like dat hat.

The Maryland Republicans, in their platform, pledge themselves to repeal the disfranchising law passed at the special session of the legislature and restore manhood suffrage. The contest against Afro-American suffrage is not settled. The Republican party gave the ballot to the race; the Democratic party is endeavoring to wrest it from them.

Hence when Speaker Reed assigned the young man for reportorial service to that committee there was some little apprehension as to whether he would be able to stand the "push."

Of all the alleged American successes, there is none that equals "In Old Kentucky" in popularity. For eight years it has gone on playing record-breaking engagements every year, including the last year of its remarkable career. It is important and it needs not the endorsements from other cities, not the puffery of the advance agent. It is established in popular favor here and elsewhere, and it is sufficient to say that it will be a major success with the original company and with entirely new scenery gotten up for this season's tour. It is a sharp dramatic and intense story, with intelligent, consistent, and distinct characters, and with the able plot, sharp, contrasts, a strong racing feature and a score of amusing and excellently trained Afro-American boys. The plot is laid in the blue grass region of Kentucky and presents as its chief figure, a simple but warmed-up mountain but which the sincerity which brings her out triumphant, not however, until she has defeated the ends of villainy and checked the impetuous but well-motivated young mountaineer in a course of events with restraining influence, quite as well to generous manhood.

He began to sorible, as he says himself, when he was sixteen, and in his early years he appears to have acquired some reputation as a writer—as a caligraphist, if not as an author. Long before he was old enough to understand much about Cupid he would write love letters for the village girls to their soldier sweethearts in India. He did not compose the letters, but merely acted as amanuensis; but Mr. Hardy remembers to this day how he came to be regarded in the village as a sort of a writing machine.
