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- Its correspondents are able and energetic. VOL. 17. NG. 52. A Warn DISINTERRING THE BODY URIRED in a peat box, that has preserved him wonderful for 1,862 years, a warrior of Arminius has been found near the Teutoberger forest in GERMANY and his three legions were surmounted, destroyed, almost to the last man, in the ninth year after the birth of Christ. He was discovered by laborers digging a trench in the ancient moor. Suddenly they came upon a face looking up at them awfully from the dark, half-faidrine. One glance at the partly open mouth and set in lines of torment was enough for them. They tied and refused to return until they were accompanied by their employers. When these arrived at the spot they found a strange thing. That face, so performable that it might have been the face of a sculptor, was a silhouette. The peat liquid that had kept its every lineament for almost two thousand years had sucked the all the juices of the bones and the bones and tanned it until it was not third of an inch thick. The same curious fact was true of the rest of the body. It was only a plane surface, less than one inch thick in its thickest part, and almost thin as a fat piece of leather in others. That was the only change that had occurred in the ages that had elapsed since the man had fallen in that great fight in the battle, when the history of the world was changed. The man who have seen Varsus throw himself on his sword, was dead and dead in the bag long before Rome heard the news of the mighty defeat that made the Emperor Varsus kill his sword, was moulded give me back my sword!" the generations that followed, when the battles of the Cherusks and the Allemanni raged around his grave; when Germanic brought new lesions from Rome in turn, and brought an advance; when he in turn, was driven back to leys on the Ems, this unknown warrior lay hidden in his tomb, and nature worked to save his form for a world that was then undreamed of. Christ preached to the people, and was driven back to leys on the Ems, the stern priests of Worms sacrificed the Germanic converts to the new faith on the bloody altars of their forest temple, and, in turn, were driven to the Alps, where they were toward the Elbe. The Germans coved the Alps and threatened Rome itself. The Frankish empire grew out of the wreck of a world. Treves, the most splendid of the Europe, was built. Every vegetation of the legions vanished utterly, except this one warrior, whose grave has held him safe for us to go. Then he found no time was lost in notifying scientific authorities.

Thanks to this precaution, everything that was near the body has been saved intact, and now the man of the twentieth century can see, lying in the battlefield in the first year of Kid, the warrior of the first century, with his garments and arms around him just as they were when he died. None of his white-beared priests, prophesying in his book, have made the battlefield can, who foreseen that this dreadful barbarian, so slew bears and wolves and wild oxen with clubs and drank mead with the skulls of his slain enemies for drinking vessels, would find such a final sepulchre as that stitty foot in one of Europe's noblest churches, where the art and science from every latitude and longitude. The body bears out that has been told by the Roman writers of the enormous strength and fine appearance of Giuliano barbarians." The man's face is handsome still. His muscles are mighty. Dr. Grottian, staff surgeon of the German army, who took the body in charge, says of it: "The man was in his best condition, and he was built, without a trace of unnecessary fat or flesh. He would be considered an athlete of superior development to day. In muscular strength and power of endurance and achievement he was far ahead of his peers in training, tiltery, and they are picked men, selected as being the strongest in the service." The conditions under which he was found are such that a fairly accurate idea can be formed as to how he died. His end was brought on him by the thrust of one of the short Roman swords. This is shown by the wound, which is defined clearly. He did not die at once, for his fellow warriors, or perhaps an ancient surgeon-priest or the women folk who always accompanied their lords in battle, had taken off his clothing in an attempt to dress his wound. When he succumbed they bore him to the grave, hastily dug in the peat bog. He was lying on his left side when found. His head rested on his outstretched left arm. The right arm was bend forward. The knees, too, were slightly bent, evidently in the position assumed by him in his death throes. Over his body loving hands had spread his mantle.

An exchange tells of an Irishman who after honorable service in India returned to England and found a place as a butter in a country family, was telling his experience in a battle—the advance, the gallop, the charge, and how, as one rider on his saddle, the death grip of his fingers in his neck discharged it and killed his own horse.

All these things the great hatman II. is a history telling exactly how these ancient German men were dressed and how they wore it. Nature worked curiously to keep him for the modern world. Plants sent their roots down into the body and conquered the softer parts, thus preventing decomposition. They would have destroyed the structure. After all, nature left nothing for them to take. They had used up brain and internal organs and even the softer muscles. The peaty water drew the lime from the bones in the muscles and generated. Consequently, while they were able to outline they are not hard now, but黛黛 flat and of a shining blackness like ebony. All the greater muscles, the teeth, the lips and the skin were treated to a process similar to our process of tanning them, after many generations, in the slow process of nature, that process was completed, the body was good to last till eternity. The face shows the pain in which the man died. Though it was nearly 2,000 years ago, the expression is so striking that it is short, though thought of the suffering that is portended by it. The features are stiffened, though not contorted. The upper lip is drawn spasmodically upward, exposing the teeth in a short, stubby mustache is just as sharp as the teeth. It is thought that the mineral waters of the moor have changed its original blonde color to a fox red. The thick hair of the head has been changed in the same way. But it has not grown much, and is otherwise. In the back it is about five inches long and hangs downward, while on the top of the head it was cut shorter and combed forward. In front it was cut so short that it is in modern pompadour fashion, leaving the ears small and shapedly and the chin is strong and firm. A remarkable thing is that this tail and strong man who measures more than six feet in modern pompadour presents shrunken form, and must have been about six feet tall in life, but extremely small feet.

The clothing has been preserved as completely as the body. The only thing that has happened to it is that all the seams have come apart. The stitches are clearly visible, showing exceedingly fine stitching. The fabric was flax, and this has been completely destroyed by the action of the water in the soil. But the material of the cloth was unharmed, and the discovery shows that the fabric was excellent German races had an excellent knowledge of weaving. The mantle is a piece of cloth about five and one-half feet long. It is five feet wide at the top and three feet wide at the bottom of it is of fine wool and its pattern is beautiful—as fine as anything that is produced today. The action of the bog has colored it a dark brown. Probably it was pure white when it was worn in the warrior's uniform. The nether garment is peculiar. It is much like a modern pair of trousers. It, too, is of fine wool, with a smaller pattern, and is cut into tongues at the lower extremities, evidently for the purpose of keeping the foot and so holding the apparel in position. The sandals are cut out of one piece of skim. At the heel there is a seam stitched together with shews, and a piece is seated on above the heel. A bound around the heel is a set of upper arms and diamond-shaped slits and through these were passed the ankle straps. There is a remnant of hair in the inside of the sandals, showing that they must have been cut from hides with the hair left on. The clothing is a silent witness to the industry of the women of the ancient Germans and furnishes a proof of the truthfulness of the description of Tacitus, who declares that they were the best care of the husbands and their households. The women went into battle with the men, not to share in the fighting, but to share in the danger, "Close by them," says Tacitus, "are those who took the best care of the husbands and their households of the women, the cries of infants.

"Dear Defective Page wife, who shrink not from counting and even demanding them, and who administer both food and encouragement to the combatant." Looking now on the warrior who has so strangely come to us, one wonders what women were they who cheered him on nineteen centuries ago, and, maybe, laked him with tears and blonde-haired like the tall, beautiful Thunneida, wife of Arminius himself? What arms that have long mingled with the dust of ages embraced him before he died, and the fifteen centuries before America was discovered kissed his before he died? What voices, in what forgotten language, exhorted him to do his best, walled over his heart, wounded, and prayed the favor of forgotten men, and when its light went out in the lattice? At least he died knowing that his land was free and that his chiefs and priests would send a bloody retinue to the land of Codin to keep him company. The place where he lived was the last of the three days' fighting was. Two days before that *Fubulus Quinifilus Varus* was the proudest Roman in the empire. Lying in a mighty entrenched camp the messing of the German army he hung at the mouth of the German river as he had extended the Roman dominion to the Weser, so in three days he would extend it to the furthest limits held by the rebels. At the end of the day that heard the boast he had been tricked into being camp and the barbarians were attacking his three legions and his cavalry and his auxiliaries from all sides.

On the next morning they took up their march again, striving now not to conquer Arminius but to reach the Roman fortress of Alliso on the Lippe river. But none of them was to see that refuge. In what is now Western Arminius, in what is now Westphalian Arminius his big men burst on them and slew without mercy. All that day they chased the Romans as if they were deer, and on the next day, in the very part of the forests that the Germans used for their temple, came the final tragedy, when Varus, with his sword, killed the bodyguard being clubbed and hacked to death, threw himself on his sword. Good cause indeed had the Emperor Augustus when he heard the news to cry on Varus to give him back his legions. Those legions never were to return. Six years later, he sent the army to the Tentoburger forest to exact revenge, he found the evidences of the three days of fighting and hopeless attempts to escape the forest trained men who hunted the wood. He found the first hasty camp erected by Varus. Its wide circumference and its vast central space showed that it had been made for three legions. The next night told its own story. It was not large enough to hold 'two' full legions. The entire center of it was snow-white with bones. On the trunks of the wood were the bones of ancient conquerors. All that day after leaving this second camp Germanicus and his men marched through lanes and trails marked by the bones and shattered weapons. He arrived at the scene of the last great fight.

They were stained with the blood of Rome's best. Tribunes and first rank cense were been offered as sacricles to Woden. Wooden huts were huds naked everywhere to the trees of grobbs. Woodstools stood all around where Romans who had excited the hatred of the Germans with deeds of treason were filled. Vast pits had been dug here and there for the hundreds of prisoners. If our warrior did not see those final sacrifices before he died he certainly took part in that last battle. He may have been a soldier, but he himself for Germanicus to see. And then suddenly, in the middle of his fierce shouting and killing, a short sword took him in the side and he passed at once from slaughter to sleep. For ages the room of time weaved over him and did not stir him. Barbarians fought and died over his grave and passed in turn. Napoleon's soldiers traplined on his grave, and the man who had helped to strike the first blow for Germany's freedom. At last was itself ceased over him, and the Teuton-burger forest covered its its scars with blood.

On Dec. 17th the Senate confirmed the appointment of Lieut. Benjamin O. Davis as a Second Lieutenant of Cavalry. Lieut. Davis is the first Afro-American to rise from the ranks. He was assigned to the 10th Cavalry, and has been performing field service with the historic and intrepid "10th" in the Philippines since last June. He was born at Washington, D. C., twenty-three years ago. His father is an employee of the Interior Department. His mother is a lady of fine presence and genial disposition. He entered the public schools, passing through the primary, grammar and high school. The Colored High School has a very efficient cadet corps, whose military instructor, Major Arthur Brooks, is one of the most efficient drill masters in the country. It was here that young Davis first exhibited his military spirit, becoming captain in the first year. Upon completing his high school course, he was appointed by the president first lieutenant of volunteers, and was assigned to the 8th U. S.

Lieut. Davis, thoroughly enamored of military life, at once enlisted in the 9th Cavalry, where in a few days he was made a corporal, and later squadron sergeant major. For two years he pursued a course of study under Lieut. Chas. Young, now Captain Young, and entered the examination for a commission at Ft.

He is one of the youngest officers in the army. A HAPPY NEW YEAR Another Christmas has passed into history, and an unprecedented number of instances of generosity have been recorded. Even the soulless corporations loosened up and gave liberally to their employees. In all this great country there was scarcely one person who went hungry, neglected or forgotten last Wednesday. Extraordinary efforts were made to make the little ones happy. In fact, but for the little ones, the birthday of Him who said "Let the little ones come unto me, and forbid 'them not, for of such is the kingdom of Heaven," would soon go into inocuous desuetude. What would Christmas be without the little ones? God bless them! Before another issue of THE APPEAL the present year, with its joys and its sorrows, will have ended, and another year begun. What it will bring forth time alone can show. The year just closed has been full of prosperity for most of us, and it is our wish that the year 1902 will not fall behind the one just closed in its blessings. We thank all our patrons for their patronage in the past, and wish for all A HAPPY NEW YEAR. The Democrats have about given up the hope of getting the Republican in a muddle on the tariff question by their intended means of offering all sorts of compromise measures that would tempt one set of Republican representatives to making war on an other set, and thus stirring up a factual fight within the ranks of the party. The views of the president or the tariff question are well known and there is no doubt that the knowledge that he would stand for no "tariff monkeying" has restrained a good many doubtful Republican members from entering into Democratic alliances in the hope of securing favors for non-action. The president has taken the bull by the horns more than once, as for instance when he gave the Democratic members to understand that he would not be forced into recognizing their patronage claims by their opposing the measures to which he was personally committed. It is a pretty good thing, when important legislation is pending, to have a president in the White House who cannot be bulldozed. Senator William E. Mason of Illinois, is in favor of local self-government for the District of Columbia. At a recent meeting of the Morning THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER through the efforts of Senators Hanna and Mason. This is a very small recognition, but Parker will accept.

Anything wrong with the sidewalk; you want an alley repaired, or a lampost erected; there is no remedy unless you can bring social influence to bear on the city council, that you didn't elect, nor can't re-elect. "The papers and people." said he, "jumped on the President because he said to Booker: 'Come and take a bite to eat with me.' The President never thought of Washington's color. And all the fair-minded people of the country say 'God bless the President.'" Senator Mason has always been a true friend of the Afro-American race. The "color line" has been drawn by the American Federation of Labor at Scranton. The committee reported a resolution compelling all local unions affiliated with the federation to join the central labor bodies in their respective localities. The Southern delegates protested so vigorously that it was decided to drop the matter. It served, however, to disclose a queer condition of affairs. The Southern people have declared that the industrial field is the proper field for the Afro-American, now these same people say the race shall have no chance in that direction. The Afro-American is to be given no recognition in the higher callings; organized labor will not allow him to work as an artisan? If he becomes a criminal and charge on the state, who is to blame? The New York Journal, in a recent issue, published a number of letters from prominent white and colored men of the South, giving their views, on the nature of the journal, on the subject of Negro education, by questioning the Kentucky Bishop Dudley (colored), of Kentucky who touched a vital point when he said a Negro "whose intelligence had been impaired by the training of the schoolhouse, whose moral nature is undeveloped, become but a more dangerous animal." The is abundant evidence of the fact.—Griffin (Aa. News). The Southern papers are always ready to grab at anything reflecting on the Afro-American. The statement of Bishop Dudley, who, by the way, is not "colored," unless he has changed recently, is just as applicable to a Caucasian as to an Afro-American. The solution of the trust problem submitted by the president bids fair to be the one that the public will demand as the most practical and effective remedy to be found under the law of the land. Complete publicity in all matters pertaining to the management of corporations would come nearer to removing the objectionable features, probably, than any other course that could be adopted. It is conceded, for instance, that it would be impossible for any trust to evade the provisions of our anti-trust law if all were compelled to keep their books open to the inspection of officials. Senator Frye has introduced a joint resolution in Congress authorizing the president to invite the King of Siam to visit this country as the guest of the nation. Now, as his Royal Majesty is no more a white man than Booker Washington, we suppose there will be a howl in the South. ANIMALS ON THE FAST. Animals of the Past. By Frederic A.

The sweetest and purest play ever written of American home life is "American Beauty," which is to have a nine scene scenic production. House next week, and the success it has gained throughout the country during the past nine years is justly deserved. Those who are familiar with its many old beauties have compared it to "American Beauty," the speech of it as a pretty and truthful story of human life, in which there appears at no time any evidence of stage device or clapstrap to offend the artistic senses of the audience. The play has some exquisite touches of human beauty, and its pathetic, sentimental and tender. Readers who have been charmed by a recital in poetry or of beautifully wrought ideas will find in "Shore Acres," a play that will send them to the theater, and then them to send their friends. The story of love, hope, faith, patience, ambition and greed that makes up the circumstances of everyone's life is told in a masterly manner by the simple folks Mr. Herne introduces in this charming play. The play is also as Mr. Herne's masterpiece; and certainly no other work of its kind can compare with it in truthfulness and simplicity. Mr. Herne loved, the people he has introduced in "Shore Acres" and he presents them in a manner that makes the play a pleasing phrase from playgoers in every walk of life. To many lovers of the drama the piece has been an inspiration, and when the Society of American Dramatists invited Sir Henry Irving to witness the production and took him to see "Shore Acres" that settled the question of the play's greatness. Sir Henry was LUCRATIVE. "This is a very wet country. What do you raise here chiefly?" charmed with it and wrote Mr. Herne that if certain changes were made in the piece so as to suit English audiences he would produce "Shore Acres" The London play-house, the Lycæum Theatre. Since than Mr Herne has had many London offers. An excellent dramatic company, headed by Miss Marion Cullen and Mr. James T. Galloway, will appear here, and nothing will be left undone to make the engagement memorable. Cain and Judas, despairing of God's mercy, provoked his wrath to damnation.

PROVIDENT HOSPITAL The tenth annual report of the board of trustees of Provident Hospital and Training School, covering the work accomplished by that institution for the care of航海医学生 during the past year, conveyed the growth and progress of one of the most worthy undertakings in the history of Chicago philanthropy. If we consider the need of the Afro-American for whose benefit it was especially important, too much to say that Provident Hospital is the most valuable and the most creditable philanthropic enterprise in the city. Since the erection of the building at the corner of Dearborn and Thirty-shift hospital not only given thousands of poor children the benefit of medical treatment and care, but has sent out trained nurses, a vocation for which Afro-American women appear to be especially fitted for the natural aptitude, and which presents a great employment most honorable and useful. The report shows that during the past year the hospital cared for 624 patients, being 111 more than the previous year, and which presents a has treated 5335 persons. The visiting nurses made 812 calls on 203 families throughout the district adjacent ```markdown ``` GINTER GROCERY CO. MISCELLANEOUS.

These nurses not only ministered to the sick, but did a very valuable and important role in the hygienic care of children. In the twenty young women are now being taught by practical work in the hospital to become professional trained nurses. An important evidence of the high professional standard and efficiency reached in the institution is afforded in the fast that during the year a largely increased percentage of sick and suffering applicants outside the Afro-Americans have been welcomed in the college of medical New York as a philanthropic character in Chicago commends itself more strongly to the favor of the charitably disposed than does the Provident Hospital. HANGE OF CHICAGO PASSENGER DEPOT Beginning December 29th, all passenger trains of the Nickel Plate Road will arrive at and depart from Grand Central Station, 5th Ave, and Harrison St., Chicago, instead of Van Buren St. Station, as formerly. POLITICAL POINTERS Next year the political pot will begin to boil very early in Cook county. The preparation of slates will take up much of the time of the politicians. Col. Thos. E. Milchrist, an able and popular attorney, and at present a state senator, will be urged by his office as a suitable candidate for judicial honors. C. W. Peters seems to have the bulge on all other aspirants for the Republican nomination for sheriff of Cook county next year. --- Mr. Otto Gresham's friends, and they are legion, are urging him to stand for the nomination of circuit court judge. Mr. Gresham is an able lawyer, and would be an ornament to the bench of Cook county. 一 Capt. Geo. W. Plummer, one of Chicago's most successful and eminent lawyers and a wheel-horse on the stump for the Republican party, is mentioned very generally for judicial honors. --- The reappointment of that able and conscious journalist, Wm. Penn Nixon for collector of this port by President Roosevelt has met with the universal approbation of all Chicago. No man in Cook county stands closer to the masses than Patrick H. O'Donnell. As a campaign orator he has but few allies. As the Republican party would do does credit by giving Mr. O'Donnell the nomination for congress in his district. --- Afro-American Republicans are beginning to evince some interest in the coming campaign in Cook county, and are discussing the availability of Col. Wesley Plummer. Frank Denison and others for county commissioner. There will be nothing but fun at Macio's Trocadero during the coming week—real solid enjoyment, with a team of women, clever humorists, and rattling laughter. Howard May—may her tribe increase, she always delivers the goods—will be the star of the show, and her own company, back her up in most effort, will be shaded in assets, with evident justification, the season's show is the best and cleverest she has ever taken on the road, who is surrounded by handsome girls, who are interested in advantage in the two burlesques of "Alarming Things Doing" and "The Three Lost Brothers," while the dialogue is funny, the jokes original, and the costuming is super. Between these burlesques, the will have a side line of specialties. Among the star performers will be Evans and Grant, historians; the Brother Bettle, a man with a carmelo and Gilmore, all-round entertainer; the Lemuels, jester; Mantle, Belle, singer; Amy Nelson, serio-comic; Sheridan and Flanagan, black-faced Ginger and Rea, soubrettes, and Frankie Emmett, a little girl with a big voice.

The Metabeleland Plane The piano in a very primitive form is found in Matabeleland, where, primitive as it is, it is, it is as much appreciated as the finest "grand" in our own country, even though it consists merely of a number of pieces of iron strun on a wooden board, says Good Words. A picture of one of these shows twenty-three pieces of iron of varying lengths and breadths, no two alike, arranged in an ascending scale, along the board. Thus a scale of twenty-three pieces of iron for elaborate tunes. To add to its sonorousness, the instrument is usually put inside a hollow gourd, round the opening of which bits of bone are placed, with the same end in view. The performer sits, places the gourd on his knees, the opening toward him, and plays his "piano" with both hands through the opening. The late Mr. Bent, the great South African traveler, describes the sound as "decidedly melodious," and recalling a spinet. Vine of Persimmon Timber. The growth of persimmon trees in old fields in the south has been looked upon as a curse. The persimmon trees will spring up almost like corn. It takes a lot of digging and grubbing to keep them down. But a valuable use has been found for persimmon wood, which is dense in fiber, heavy and capable of welding. This is for laying in the looms of cotton mills. A few days ago a solid train containing 18 cartoons of persimmon and dogwood shuttle blocks was shipped from Grimes' shuttle block factory at Chattanooga direct to England, via Norfolk.
