SATURDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1901. A remarkable meeting was held Sunday in the Metropolitan A. M. E. church. Washington. More than 2,000 persons were present. Senator S. M. Culom of Illinois, presided. In a few happy remarks, the senior senator stated that it was the first public meeting at the Capital in twenty-five years in which he had taken part and he had consented to preside because he was interested in the future of the race. He was proud that he had voted for the Fifteenth Amendment. He had always been the friend of the Afro-American race and believed that the future had great things in store for a people who had shown themselves true Americans, who had always unheld the flag. History falls to record such great progress as has been made by the Afro-Americans since the Civil War. An address entitled "Constitutional Defense of the Negro" was delivered by Rev. Algernon S. Craney of St. Andrew's church, Rochester, N. Y. He said in part: "We find ourselves forty years after the outbreak of the war after the slave power waged against the United States still struggling with that power for the common rights of man, for the integrity of our laws, and for the very existence of our government. The Constitution guarantees to every one of its citizens that he shall not be deprived of his life and liberty without due process of law. It is a notorious fact that this provision of the Constitution has been set at naught and that men in the country have been deprived of their liberties and their lives without any process of law whatever. "Anarchistic events of this kind have, to our shame, occurred in different parts of our country, but they have occurred in a country where the slave power was dominant before the civil war and where the spirit of the slave-driver is still dominant. The victims of these violations of the law in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred are members that race which was formerly in bourgey to the race that now murders them. "So common is this method of punishing supposed crimes in the southern section of our country that it has displaced the regular proceedings of 150 human beings charged with crime died without trial, at the hands of the mob. More than three a week. And the perpetrators of this treason against the majesty of the state are today living at large, their crime unjustified. Last year we charged crimes, and their sympathizers sit in the congress of the United States. Surely anarchy can go no further than this except it murder our rulers, rayish our women and burn our homes." The speaker dealt at length with the political difficulties of the north or of the south, are to be solved not by disfranchisement, but by enfranchisement. The enfranchisement of the north and prejudice; the enfranchisement of the heart from base hatred and unholy fears." "The white race has a cause of quarrel with the black race. While we have spent blood and treasure to secure your political and civil rights, we find that, you surrender those rights without a struggle. Your old white masters say you shall not vote, and you stay away from the polls. They make laws placing upon you a degrading badge of inferiority, and you give your brows to the branding They shoot you down in the streets and you do nothing to guard your homes and protect the lives of your wives and children. "Your excuse for this submission to retrace and wrong is that if you resent your own people if you are killed? Were not white men killed by the hundred thousand to secure you, under the Constitution, the political and civil rights which you so easily surrender? Do your duty by your country, and, whether you die, your country will bless you." "God forbid that you should lift up your hands save in defense of the rights of man and the lives of women of God," he said. "You killed until your blood becomes as a river defiling all the land; until, like the blood of Abel, it cries from the ground for vengeance. Be killed until you have lost from your veins the blood of Christ, the blood up to your veins and can stand up as free men in a free land." Before another issue of THE APPEAL is placed before our readers, the greatest day of the year, Christmas, will have been passed. The one thousand nine hundred and first anniversary of the birth of Christ will have been celebrated with the usual ceremonies and festivities. This is the one day that is observed throughout the world in all Christian lands, and is looked forward to with more interest and pleasurable anticipations than any other, especially by the children—though the older folks manage to get considerable pleasure out of it too, on the principle that, "it is more blessed to give than to receive." This is the day upon which "good cheer" usually abounds and "spirits are kept up by putting spirits down." A generous feeling is generally felt by all, and evidences of love and friendship—and policy—are exchanged. The fields, the forests, the orchards and the waters are called upon to contribute to the bountiful feasts that are spread upon that day; and, unfortunate, indeed, is he who must go hungry on this great day. This is the day for expressing good wishes and we wish to wish a merry Christmas to all. A very peculiar case has arisen in Nanseamond, Va., circuit court. It seems that Mrs. Ira Ann White is indexaving to break the will of her deceased father, Dempsey Hare, an octoroon, who was the largest landholder, in Eastern Virginia, and cut off his only daughter with but $10, because she did not marry a white man. Hare had such a strong prejudice against black people that it amounted to a delusion and it is claimed that he was unduly influenced to make his will three weeks before his death. There are five lawyers and eighty-four witnesses in the case, and some of the inside history of the F. F. V.'s will undoubtedly be brought out, and 'incidentally the lawyers will wax fat out of the estate. Later it is learned that the will was sustained and the property went to States Attorney Holland and Dr. Holland, two white men, who had no legal claim to it other than was given by the will. Verily, truth is stranger than fiction. Grand juries in the South continue to report that the men who participate in Negro burnings are the "best citi- THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER FORTY MODERN FABLES.

By Charles TOWN ON LAKE N.CARAGUA WASHINGTON: THE CAPITAL CITY. Washington is treated throughout as the strong arm in the woods to a center of strangling hammers with its rise from a strangling hammers in the woods to a center of strangling hammers in the woods. The story of the political development of the American nation, both phases of the war, the development of the apt and illuminating anecdotes. The result is one of the most readable and informative books in the world. The greater part of it was written in the quiet of a small Pennsylvania town, when the mission was put to the test, the summer of each year. The first draft, when mission was put to the test, the author might come to its writen with freshened thought and time and labor as had the original composition: Mr. Wilson is a believer in the theory that easy writing makes hard readiness. His work along lines of historical narrative, with an favorable notice, his method of contrasting the conditions of the past with those of the present, his glimpses of life in this country a century ago, his picturesque and impressive mode of study was delightfully illustrated in his *Transylvania*, and his mode of age, and which has been widely read. His new work will establish his position as a leading figure in the field. THE SEXUAL INSTINCT "The Killer of Dangers, as Affecting Herdiness and Morals." By James Foster Scott, H. A. M. D. C.

The two essentials of artistic photography Mr. Caffin points out as follows: the ability to draw and a knowledge of the principles of picture-making. The ability to be within his power, as well as thibets, to put personal expression into the picture. The principles of art, is precisely the thing in which most animates are inentially defended. The ability to be an anatomic photographers of people look like scarecrows, and those of landscapes look like snakes. The work of Mr. Stigellz is perhaps the most important of the many nuages here shown, though some other artists have done charming things with the help of his methods. His methods in perfecting himself in his paintings are shown by two anecdotes which the author KNOW. BF Syllabus STUDIO BD. P. Vie Publishing Co. 1601 Real Estate Trust Building, Philadelphia.

Preparations in progress at the Grand Opera House for the elaborate production of F. C. Whitney and Edwin Knowles' dramatization of Henry Slenkowiak's famous romance of an Rome "Quo Vadis," which will be performed when the curtain rises on the sublime spectacle, it will be unquestionably a scene of grandeur and beauty, seldom witnessed in this city. The producer, who met with such great success at McVice Theater, Chicago, last fall, and was afterwards seen in London and New York and received with marked favor by their royal highnesses, the Prince of Wales, gathered a gathering of the nobility. Everywhere that money, time, labor, intelligence and research could accomplish to make "Quo Vadis" a success has been done and the result is a triumph in the opera. The costumes, accesories and acting, are unusual, half-savage life of pagan Rome A is made real before the eyes of the people and it is strongly contrasted with the simplicity and self-abnegation of the early Christians. Stanislaus Strange, who made the adaptation to Irish romance's work, went directly to Irish authors and was written, for his material, and did not depend on the translation. He is said to have made a play that follows the book closely and to have provided a number of strong characters. The book contains readers all over the country, and it has perused its fascinating pages will want to see the people live before them, the acquaintance they formed therein. The play shows the birth of a religion founded by Christ and is potent to attract the theater who seldom, if ever, have seen the inside of a playhouse. No detail will be left unattended to make the production here on the same scale that has characterized it in the past. The company is a large one, numbering fifty and will be headed by such well-known actors as Adolph Jackson, Sutherland, Thomas M. Hunter, Richard Thornton, Caroline Rohr, Richard McMary, Richard Mays, Emerson, Elizabeth Tebbett, Montgomery Irving, Theodore Terry, and many others.

On Saturday afternoon there will also be a concert following the concerts at the People's following the concerts appear for two concerts—matinees and evening—at the Metropolitan Opera House on Sunday, Dec. 29. The Royal Italian band is one of the public musical organizations before the public premiere of the popular favor. The organization comes of St. Paul after a successful trip to the Pacific coast, which has added thousands to the number of its friends. With the band are Miss Helenzt, harpist, an artist of more than ordi- nate skill, and Mine. Baril, a dri- matic soprano, with a charming voice and method. The word "hear" should be stamped upon every man's heart when desi- res to keep his own council and success. Why is it that some people who pose as shibing lights are not careful of the company they keep?
