The Appeal

THE APPEAL STEADILY GAINS BECAUSE: 1- It aims to publish all the news possible. 2- It does so impartially, wasting no words. 3- It does not comment on any enervating Three National Tragedies. --- VOL. 17. NO. 40. "Fellow citizens: Clouds and darkness are around him! His pavilion is dark waters and thick clouds! Justice and judgment are the establishment of his thrones and truth shall go before his face." "Fellow citizens: God reigns, and the government at Washington still lives!" James A. Garfield to a frenzied mob in New York after the assassination of President Lincoln. Sixteen years after air. Air Garfield gave utterance to this historic speech, delivering a hotel, to quiet angry men who walked through the streets and wild crying for vengeance upon the head-of-the house, who aided or sympathized with him, he having elevated to the high station which Presidentialhood had occupied, was shot by an assassin in a railroad station in Washington City. Twenty years after William McKinley of Garfield as president of the United States, was shot by an assassin at Buffalo. Thus thrice in a period of thirty- six months within the memory of many men who now-has effort been made to kill the greatest republic the world has ever known. The assassination of Lincoln by John W. Boots in, April, 1865, came at a time when the passions of civil war; when the partisans of the defeated cause were rendered captive by disappointment and sorrow for their country and had championed and by the goodness of the victors. There was an element of excitement in the capture of a man, and especially of one so emotionally so scandalous and so irresponsible that when John W. Boots was slain there was none of the passion of war. But political passions were the most violent and unreasoning kind; Republicans were divided. In each camp there was anger. The Republican leader, James G. Blaine, Garfield and his close allies, spolls. Garfield and his close allies and political friend, James G. Blaine, were assailed by Conkling and Plains in a debate. Garfield maintained the right of the chief executive of the nation to make decisions, and the opposition contended that the legislative branch should be recognized, and that the legislature should debate, private and public. Charges and counter-charges were made. "Slawaters" and there were "Administration-lists," and there were "Administration-lists." The assassination of Lincoln occurred in a public theater in Washington City; the room of the Pennsylvania railroad at Washington City, and the attempt upon the life of Lincoln made in the Temple of Muleth in Buffalo, where the president was holding a public reception. The presentation of a comedy: Garfield was-to quote the words of Mr. Blaine: "in conscious eneance a beautiful morning, with an unwanted beauty, morning with an anticipation of pleasure" to come from a meeting with his invalid wife and friends of his school and his college days. Kliney was to present the announcement of his fellow-citizens and in shaking the hand. Lincoln was but a short while before, delivered his famous "Second Inaugural," in which he had said: "With malice we have been so afraid for all; with firmness in the right we must see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nape of our shoulders, have borne the battle, and for his and his orphan-to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting nation ourselves and with all nations." "The president referred a few days before the end to the number of warnings taken. The book the watch had of late taken such a book upon him. Finally he said: "'About ten days ago I retired very late. I had been waiting for important dispatches from the front. I could not have been long in the city. I fell into a gun to dream. I was weary. I fell into a gun to dream. There seemed to be a deathhole stillness about me. Then I went to bed. People were weeping. People were weeping. I thought I left my bed and wandered down stairs. There the silence was broken by the same pitiable, but the mourners were invisible. "I went from room to room; no living person was in sight, but the same mourning along. It was light in all the rooms; every object was familiar to me; but I was grieving as if their hearts would break." "I was puzzled and alarmed. What could be the meaning of all this? Determine what things so mysteriously and so shocking. I kept on until I arrived at the East room, which I entered. Before me was with a sickening surprise. Before我 was with a sickening surprise on which rested a corpse wrapped in funeral gestures. I would be stationed in the room where I was grieving there was a throng of people, some gazing mournfully upon the corpse, whose face was covered, others weeping pitifully. "Who is dead in the White House?" I demanded of one of the soldiers. "The president," was the answer; "the people." "Then came a long burst of grief from the crowd, which awoke me from my sleep. I slept no more that night; and, although I had been strangely annoyed by it, ever night, this dream lingered in his mind to the day of his death. On the very eve of his assassination, he quoted to Lamon: 'There is perchance to dream! Ay, there's the rule.' It had been planned that the president and some of his official family should attend the funeral, April 14, 1885. The president ended a box, together with several officers of the army, on the right of the stage. The president was intent upon the scenes before him, John Wilkes Booth, of the famous student of the academy, reached from behind and shot the president. He then stabbed Major Henry R. Rattulone, one of the president's party, who was killed. The dagger raised above his head, leaped form the box upon the stage. The high priest, who was the flag that was used to drape the president's box, and his ankle was sprained; but as he sprung upon the stage he hit the priest, who was the voice—a voice that had thrilled thousands when it had recited the lines of Shakes trageries—cried out the motto of Virginia: "The South is avenged!" and added: "The South is avenged!" Limping, he ran to the rear of the stage, surrounded by his escaped. He was surrounded in a barn, conscious afterwards and shot to death by soldiers. He was seized. He lingered on the clock the next morning, when he exited the house across the street to which he had moved immediately after being wounded. The funeral of Mr. Lincoln was unobstructed the greatest that ever occurred (1865). He was taken by special train through Maryland to Pennsylvania, New York and Indiana to Springfield, IL, where it was buried. At a hooded cemetery it lay in state, and the funeral service was done in his weeping—"mournfully upon the corpse; others weeping pitifully." In a speech in Brooklyn on the Sunday morning of assassination of Lincoln, Henry Ward Benton Thus quoted Mr. Blaine in his oration on June 11 in the house of representatives on Feb. 11, he was with the president, walking arm-in-arm through the waiting room of the Pennsylvania broad station on the morning of July 2. He stepped up to keep up behind, had given the president a wound. He had caught the stricken man and had helped him to a seat and had called him to the office of the liec man who had been affected by the blow against the chief executive, James Blaine, man of emotion and a poet's temperament, had felt the wound most deeply. The day on which Garfield was shot was the warm and beautiful. He was on his way to the hospital, and members of his cabinet, to New York and New England. He had been particularly nervous at the station, and was walking with scrippy step and well-rallied head when the pistol shot rang out. The first did not strike him, but the second plunged through the muscles and flesh and hid itself away to defy the search of surgeons whilst it ate out the life of the man. Guiteau, the assassin, did not attempt to escape. "Now we will have a stigma on him," he said, sprang upon him and wrested the still smoking revolver from his hands. he riled him, but now he had hurt people around the depot could recover from the shock of the tragedy. "There he was searched and on him was found a letter in which the shooting of THE APPEAL. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON, A. B., LL. D. The Last Fifth W. W. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON, A. B. LL. D.

A long special train took the body to Cleveland, O. and was buried beside Lake Erie on September 28. The attorneys for Guteau, the assasin, advanced the plea of insanity, and a hard line was drawn. The verdict was remarkable in many ways. But the verdict was death and Guteau was dead. The memorial services in honor of Garfield, held in the hall of the house of representatives on Monday would solemnize that the history of the United States has so far revered Garfield. The audience was comprised of President Arthur, the cabinet, all members of the diplomatic corps, distinguished men from the country, and people from all walks of life. Mr. Blinville's oration was a masterpiece. He was a man of great ability from boyhood to the grave, illuminating the biography with brilliant anecdotes.

He is William Witers, and he was once the leader of the orchestra in Ford's theater, Washington, and while there he was an eye witness of the shouting of President Lincoln on the night of April 14, 1865.

President Closely Watched. President Closely Watched. Attempts to murder the president are always made when he is away from home, usually safe, to a police system not easily evaded by brank or criminal, the cunning assassin waits for a better opportunity to somewhere else. No harm has ever come to any of our chief magistrates not easily murdered by a executive mansion. Lincoln was murdered by executive mansion, field received his fatal wound at a railroad station, and McKinley was attacked in a reception in a distant city. The chosen weapon seems invariably to be the bullet. Mr. McKinley, though doubtless realities like all other potentates and monarchs, were the element of the war with assassination, never had the slightest fear of such a fate. During all the war, when the element of the war with Spain, when the element of the war with assassination were supposed to be thick in Washington, he used to go out walking on Pennsylvania avenue frequently. Seemingly among old soldiers, to the effect that he would not die until; the appointed hour arrived, and that there was no use try, to the bullet, if he was destined to be fired at. Apart from this quasit-fatalistic idea, I had never thought of anything. All his life he had cultivated a tranquility of mind which was one of the most important things permitted himself to be annoyed, hurried or excited. When he was shot in Buffalo, he was taken to the hospital, the testimony of observers, he was decidedly the coolest person present, and even then he believed that he was seriously wounded. His immediate predecessor, Mr. Cleveland, was, on the other hand, very much more conservative always. He never walked on a road that he driving he was invariably occupied between lives. Usually a couple of detectives followed him. Usually a couple of detectives followed him. While a mounted police man rode close to his own vehicle. When he came to Washington for his second term, he was a policeman by plain-clothes men, and at the White house extraordinary precautions were worn. His security safety. This timidity seemed to concern him, much more marked during his second term than when his first administration. He was kept for cranks, who seem to make that establish their Meca when they have unsatisfied claims against the government, or other grievances, real or imaginary, and are likely to be dangerously injured, or scare during Mr. Cleveland's second administration, but probably he meant no harm. Even the grounds of the executive office, and of wires, with electric buttons in all sorts of odd places, and any alarm will poison police policemen inside of half a room. As already stated, it is away from home, and the president is in danger. Notwithstanding that he must be taken he must frequently be exposed to attack by a deadly weapon. Every time he is attacked he is the guest at a banquet in a distant city, or when he is shaking hands with the multitude at a reception, he is anxious being conscious of the facts by detections of the secret service, who are ready at any moment to seize anybody who may be in danger. But, unfortunately, a platoi is easily concealed and strikes instantaneously. On that fatal morning when James A. Garfield went to his death he was enjoying the very fullness of life and the joy of manhood. He manfied with a platoi in his pocket was lurking about, waiting for him, in the neighborhood of the Yangshuangyin White house. It was a beautiful day, and the president was going to the sea, James, to see Mrs. Garfield, who was just recovering at Kibron from a serious illness. Little Mollie, the daughter, was twelve years old, was with her mother. Stanley Brown, the president's secretary, came to breakfast, which was a particularly jolly meal. Mr. Garfield told several guests of humors. After breakfast he saw the boys turning handpans on the table, one in like fashion, saying that he was quite as nimble as any boy in the world. He was a little stern. Then they went down to the portico of the White house and the president came to breakfast, the boys following in a second vehicle. They drove to the Pennsylvania station, through the waiting room when Guteau stepped from behind the door open and the sassin was nervous, and the bullet did not strike its mark. What became of it was that the sassin was nervous, and the bullet took no notice of the shot, though it made a loud explosion in so small a space, and then the sassin, taking the sassin's hand, meditated the president dropped the handbag that he was carrying, and, staggering for a moment, fell upon the floor, calling for help, run to his assistance. Meanwhile, taking advantage of the confusion, Gulteau turned and ran out of the room. He had entered. A cab which he had hired previously, was waiting for him, but just at that moment a stalwart policeman came along and grabbed the murderer. The latter was promptly escorted to police headquarters, where he locked up before a mob could gather. He was extremely cool, refused to say anything, and caused the district attorney, C. Cornellkall, of designing to hand him over to the people for slaughter. Precisely, however, a police officer had escorted the district policemen, and the miscreant was waited through the crowd and driven away, to jail. The man had a leader he wanted, and he was being lynched. As it was, the jail had to be guarded afterward by a battalion of artillery and a battalion of marines to prevent violence. Guteau had a trial that was notably fair under the circumstances, and was issued. ISH. His brain is now preserved in the Army Medical Museum at Washington in a case that he found that it was diseased, but it would be another matter to assume that the assassin was no far demented as to be a morbid man, but he might have become iller. Is it not unlikely, but the chief trouble that attained him mentally seems to be a morbid man, and a man who "fired the Ephephus dome". Guteau wished to attract the admiring attention and this was the greatest way to do it. Dr. Robert Reuburn, one of Mr. Gardell's physicians, says: "On my arrival I saw President Garfield lying on a mattress, which had been placed on the floor himself. Mr. President, you saw 'burt'." $2.40 PER YEAR He answered: "I am afraid I am." He examined pale, almost pauisseus, and appeared to be a very emotional morbidity. He urgently begged to be moved to the White house. I think I should have moved to the office that completely filled the space in and around the depot as we carried him downstairs and out to the ambulance, in which he slowly driven to the executive mansion. "A telegram was sent to Mrs. Garfield, who would die before she arrived. One in my hearing he asked the secretary of the office, who wished to shoot me? It was explained that the assassin had been disappointed in seeking zome office. Later on there was a call from Garfield's condition, and he asked what he had of recovery were. I replied: Mr. Pressford placed his opinion you have a chance for recovery. "He placed his hand on my arm, and, turning his face more fully toward me, he said a cheerful smile. Well, doctor, we'll talk." At the time of the murder of Mr. Gairy, the old physician known as Ports' Hall, was named, was occupied by the Army Medical museum. The body of Guitan, after the attack, was taken to jail, and then was dug up again being wanted by the government physicians. The building in a wagon, as secretly built, but a local newspaper man got wind of it looked up the person who had been killed. The police did not believe the story, made with him that it was not true. The police took the reporter into the collar of the theater at night, carrying a lanter. After, among plies of lumber boxes, the smothered the gloom, the guide suddenly stopped, and with deep-sequential voice "You are now near all that remains mortal of Charles Guitan." "Do you recognize these shoes? Ain't this his coat? Do you see his colf." "Yes, they look like them," was the answer, "but it is Charles I want to see." Whereupon the body was shown and data identified. The reporter paid the duet. Wilkes Booth was buried in the pententary at Washington. When part of his body was taken up, he was taken up and interred beneath the floor of a storehouse, now occupied as a barracke by the war department. Relief administration, near close of Johnson's administration, took them, and the task was accomplished as quickly as possible, the services of an undertaker being engaged. He decided to chance to be just around the corner from Ford's theater. About 7 p. m. a wagon drove into the alley along the stairs of the theater, and the wagon taker's. This, oddly enough, was the same alley in which Booth had left his horse to be bead while he went into the theater. He had destined to starle the world. The wagon unloaded a pine box containing a body, which was carefully examined and duly inspected. The teeth had filled the teeth. Then it was put into a coffin and shipped by rail at night to Baltimore, where it was interred in Baltimore county, where he was memorialized in peculiar honour. An Inverted Fable.

Only a few days before the fatality that made Roosevelt president, in the course of an address at the Minnesota state fair, he expressed himself in a characteristically candid manner on the very questions that will become paramount in the course of his administration. These expressions were made at a time when neither he nor the public dreamed of the awful catastrophe that was to follow, and were therefore made as the honest expressions of a thoughtful man, without any political purpose that could give them a false coloring. Those who know him will declare that he is too frank and blunt a man to say one thing and mean another, but even those who might distrust him for political reasons must concede that his Minnesota state fair speech was made without thought of the possibility that he would be called upon as chief magistrate of the nation, to put in operation the policies he had advocated at that time. Yet such is the consistent and far-sighted character of the man, that, he had he the prescience to know what was going to happen within the week, he could not have spoken words that would better have prepared the public for that which was to come. HIS IDEA. He—Well, for instance, if you tell a w oman she looks fresh she'll smile; but if you tell a man the same thing you're liable to get a beating. THE FIREWORKS "Have you ever noticed how war pro duces so much poetry?" "Yes; that is one of the horrors of war." The action of President Roosevelt in inviting Booker T. Washington to the White house Sunday to get his advice on policies is a compliment to Mr. Washington's reputation as a clear-headed, sagacious leader, and it also shows that the President is willing to hear both sides of the question. President Roosevelt realizes that he is the President of the whole country. He knows that there are more than 10,000,000 Afro-Americans under his government. It is his policy to see that their interests are looked after just the same as the welfare of other classes of citizens. The daily papers have published a lot of alleged advice Mr. Washington gave the President, but no one really knows what he said as no other persons were present, and Mr. Washington refused to talk to the reporters. If there are still any people who believe that "craps" is a game which is characteristically the Afro-American they may disabuse their minds of the fallacious idea, as there are whites upon whom it seems to have a stronger hold.

We had built a stout pen of rocks and logs, and placed a calf as a bait. The sun was nearly down as we started for camp, and one no had the least suspicion of the presence of danger until a lion, which had been couched beside a bush, sprang out and knocked me down. I can say without conceit that I was fairly cool. He moved my arm to get my pistol his hand, and wounded his head and seized my throat. I lay quiet he would reason that I was dead and give his attention to the natives. All of a sudden I barked into a dog, followed by a growl, and that beast jumped twenty feet in his surprise. He came down between me ENTIREL and the natives, and I turned enough to see that his tail was down and he was secreted. I uttered barks and growls, but without moving a hand, and after making a circle clear round me, the lion suddenly bolted, and went off with a scarce that would last him a week." THE FOX AND THE CROW The Aim of Art Is to Concens Disappointment. A crowd, having secured a piece of cheese, flew with its prize to a lofty tree, and was preparing to devour the mousseline, when a crafty fox, halting at the foot of the tree, began to cast about how he could obtain it. "How tastful!," he cried, in well-feigned ecstasy, "is your dress; it cancels that your musical education has been neglected." "Will you not oblige?" I have no word, replied the crow, "and never sing without music, but since you press me— At the same time, I should add that I have read Aesop, and been there before." So saying she deposited the cheese in a safe place on the limb of the tree, and favored him with a thank. "Thank you," exclaimed the fox and trotted away, with the remark that Welsh rabbits never agreed with him, and were far inferior in quality. Ultimate variety. Moral—The foregoing is supported by whole Gatling battery. We are taught (1) that it pays to take the papers; (2) that invitation is not always the sincerest flattery; (3) that a stalled rabbit with contentment is better than no bread, and (4) that the aim of art is to conceal disappointment.—Lanigan's Fables. How About Your Children? There are three things that a child may do with the world that surrounds him. He may appropriate it; he may run away from it; he may fight it. These three types of action sum up the efforts of a man's life, from the cradle to the grave. They spring from three emotions, the most fundamental and most difficult to control. These are sympathy, fear and anger. What a child sympathy hides are the fears, what he gets mad at—this will mine very largely—what the shall become. The training of these emotions should, therefore, be the primary aim of every parent and teacher. This fact has not been generally recognized. And because it has not, the world is full of men and women who sympathize unselfishly, fear unselfishly, fight unselfishly and live miserably—Pennsylvania Grit.

A man by the name of Henry Sommers was betrayed by a supposed friend and arrested a few days since and is now held at central station awaiting action by the Tennessee authorities. He is charged with the murder of William Lewark, a white man, in Bolivar Tenn., on the night of Nov. 1, 1900. The people have become very much interested in his case and his services of Attorney F. L. McGhee have been secured to fight his extradition, which will be opposed on the ground that the man will be lynched if returned. Sommers was brought into the municipal court on the charge of being a fugitive from justice, but McGhee found a flaw in the complaint, and Judge Hine discharged the prisoned, eH was, however, immediately arrested. The only person who can help Sommers is the governor, and a strong fight will be made to prevent his extradition papers. That sterling attraction, "On the Swainness River," will be the offering at the Grand Opera House for one week, commencing Sunday, Oct. 6th, with the usual manners. That this play possesses interest and merit is an indisputable fact. Now in its fifth season, its drawing ability seems unminished. "Like the song, it will 'live forever' is a kind of trademark or catch line used by Stalr and Nicolai, under whose direction it has been since its introduction. Possibly the maintenance of an unusually capable cast and a production of completeness have much to do with its popularity. MRS. MARY MARY but even these wise adjuncts could not float a bad play. The heart interest of the story is great, its comedy well seasoned with pathos, for tears and laughter are happily mingled. Its general theme has been likened to "Uncle Tom's Cabin" and to a certain extent with reason. Old "Aunt Lindy" the company as true a type of characterization as the mother and her staunch championship of blind "Dora Clayton" is symbolic with "Uncle Tom's" love for little Eva. The villainy of "Caleb Croc" the miser in this play, is hand in hand with the hated "Simon Legree," the cupidity of Judge Hawk is along the same lines as "Marks" the lawyer. With all this there is no more similarity between the two plays than there is between a Sardon production and a Reid pastoral. "On the Swuance River" pure story of the Southland and women is as great a life as Harriet Beecher Stowe's great old story of slavery days THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER.

Roscamp, pastor of the First Presbyterian church of London, O., ex-grand chaplain of the order of Elks, who went to London a few months ago from Kokomo, Ind., seems to have struck it rich. While on a visit to Denver and Salt Lake city last year he was induced to invest $500 in a silver mine. A few days ago he went to the latter city to spend a short vacation and look after his mining interests, which seem to be turning out better than expected. Information just received is to the effect that he has been offered $75,000 for his interests in the mine. Knox Hats. The Unchanging Indian, Col. P. Burgess Hunt, collector of internal revenue at Dallan, Tex., and formerly United States Indian agent for Indian Territory, has written to a New York friend telling him of a terrestrial received from one of his old wards, who was one of his favorites when he was agent, says the New York Times. The boy is now at the Carlsbad Indian school. In his letter to Col. Hunt, after describing his associates, his movements and how he occupies his time, the young philosopher thus put forth his conclusions upon the characteristics of the white man as compared with the red man: "Some white people very good, some not so good. Indian just the same." DOINGS IN AND ABOUT TH) GREAT "FLOUR CITY." Matters Social, Religious and General Which Have Happened and are to Happen Among the People of the City on the Falls.

Sandals in Demand It is remarkable how the fashion for wearing sandals has developed. At a samba shop belonging to a firm which has been devoting itself to sandal-making orders have been taken during the last eight weeks for no fewer than 12,000 pairs. These have, however, not been from wholesale houses, but from private individuals. These sandals are not as might be supposed, merely intended for children's wear, but a great many men and women have gone in for them, and the watering places may therefore be confidently expected to blossom forth with pilgrims couch with sandals—Manchester Courier.
