The Appeal

DIVIDING THE CATCH OF FULMA ON ST KILDA 0 N THE TONY rock of St. Kilda, fifty miles beyond the outermost border of Rua das Rides, a colossal warfare is in progress which takes one back to the days when men gave up the war and made a surrender to a serious disagreement with his boss upon a point of doctrine, and the St. Kilda man set about starving the parson and his poor friend, the poor man, thunderstorms from his pulpit against stiff-necked and perverse generals, the stanch Free Kilda people give or sell their goods according to their views, has gone after strange gods and worships in the house. Rather would bring the proud and stubborn back to their allegiance to their spiritual authority on the rock without sparing. Had been he been would have been a material rod wolf, and he would have chastened their spirits, and he would have spared net. Yea, as his covenanting forefathers and converted Scotland by the help of Gledeon, so he would have made St. Kilda even than it is now, but he would have brought back his erring ones. But, being brought back, he had had to resort to the use of a spiritual which, we may be sure, he welded with all the grim power of his theology. So the Kilda people cut off all his supplies. Fausting, they said, might bring the passage to feasting in their mind; had not feasted in times past, they said. The spider is the original telegraph Henman. Indeed, he is something more. After his lines are stretched he establishes a "central" to which he runs as soon as any sort of vibration tells him he is on the web. Once at central he listens a minute, then having gathered the direction, glides away to weave still further netting of silken web about the luckless waser or fly that has fallen into his "hoe." He would more properly be written "he." As in the case of so many insects, the female spider is ever so much bigger, more powerful and more resourceful than the male. Spider courtship is in effect, when the female shows himself both brave and nimble he is in danger of being eaten before he gets the ear of his fair one. By way of evening'matters, after marriage he shows himself as a most heartless waser as soon as laid and devouring them before the eyes of their agonized mother. Thus it is that the mother spider keeps a death grip upon her bag of eggs. It the daintest inaly skiten pocket, varying in shape and size according to species, which always exceedingly handsome and well spun, and which mother sets it and hurries away, often spinning a thread as she goes in the effort to escape. She will lose a leg, two legs even, cheerfully in its defense. That not, however, so wonderful as the fact that the leg legs very quickly grow again. The name spider runs back to the Saxon, spain, to spin, also the root of that austere word spinner. The Dutch name for the intert is cop, oop, a cop, head, hence the name spider. It is linked to the so-famous Spin-Kop. But cobweb is by no means so expressive as goosamer or sommewherm, the summer casting out devils? But the bungler the Rev. Fiddes got, the more set in his opinions he became. To be a martyr for conspiracy, he was sent to Scot disenter enjoys with a grim satisfaction. Hearing of the minister's plight, some of his sympathizers on the mainland on a steamboat sailing from Glasgow, the steamer arrived at St. Kilda the men came off in their boats and took ashore to touch them, but refused to touch any of the vessels of their sister. There were supplies on the steamer to have furnished the Rev. Fiddes with means to hold out until spilled, but with the Rev. Declared that they should not be landed. In substance spider web is nearly identical with silk. But the splinners of it are far too wired to reel into into cocones, and the spiders are undered by men to feed the desire of the reader to life. Web-splining is very wonderful work, truly declares the New York Sun. The workers indeed deserve high rank as civil engineers, and often deal with the ways bespeaking among most human intelligence when they spin loose webs so defy entanglement and with such nice calculation of wind force that the loose ends are carried out to the chosen spot, often a couple of years later. They are salves of their own motion. It is thus the fairy cables which net trees and boughs, and stretch across all summer paths, are in place. They are invisible saw where the spiders are located, and when a misty morning strings them with dew drops. None the less they hold firm, and serve as aerial passages along which the spiders run to and fro, safely. Or else they serve as guys to brace the web. The spider's spinning the spider shows architectural genius to match her engineering skill. First she surveys a site, then stretches across it a strong thread. She is not paranoid, having this first thread very spins—that all the other spins another thread from the end of this diagonally to another point, whence she goes to a third anchorage, a fourth, even further, to a fifth, a central inclosed at irregular angles. The second threads have been spun of pure silk. The next thing is to go over them with a wired exudation in which will make what happens, that is done, she spins the web proper, from side to side, with thread trailing behind her, until all the web-spoikes are in place. Before she weaves the rays to meet, she spins the web properly, that is known that both they and the same threads are dependable. So she runs about, stretching trailing every one and it it breaks, spining it over. Where she spins, she spins, by splitting a new thread next the center, and fastening it outside or by attaching light weights, pebbles, bits of stick and so on, to the web's lower edge. THE APPEAL. passages suited to the situation. Over in the manse on the barren hills silt the stone of the barren hills, their scanty stores and breathing forth the terrors of theological denunciation who have deserved them and accompanied with thorns. And it is Numbers xvI, that they read with the grimstest satis-faction of rebellious Korah and their awful fate. The rebellious ones reply with passages from the Scriptures as apposite to their side of the controversy, and each party responds with a resigned pledge to see some great cataclysm of nature overwhelm their adversaries—in fact, they rather expect it. A Scottish writer, focussed on the joking matter, as the source of that abundantly proven Bioscars —"flowed in round and round. The crossing threads are swain double-first very fine, then with a corner ply. At the middle, where she builds herself a sung station, or after everything is done, cuts away the tangle and leaves a small clear space. This is the parlor into which the traditional fly was built. She sits in the dame Spider does not habitually sit in it. Instead she lurks out of sight, ambushed at the foot of a ray thread. When vibrations tell of prey she seeks the parlor, she goes to see it. She goes to see it. A strong-winged thsect, as a wasp or a bumble bee, left to himself will soon break out of her fuzzy tails, through he may so entangle his wing, through he may so entangle his wing, through he may so entangle his wing, again. So she takes no chances. Nimibly she runs down the nearest ray thread, spinning as she runs. When she is a little beyond her victim she dutterly loops around him, draws it taut, and fastens it. When this has been repeated half a dozen times, the prey wound wing and foot, is ready for removal. She fastened a new throne, the parlor door it around it, the wrist brace it around it, and as tight as she can. Sometimes she moves her prey a whole half foot with one thread. The next thing is to cut away all the outer threads that hold him. This she does quickly, then spins a new cable from the parlor. Thus, the prey and cutting, unless the prey is disproportionately big, she brings it at last to the parlor, or very close to it, and there snucks its juice in leisurely content. But if it is too big he moved she grabs off a leg at a time, and then she moves it at a time, the carcass. Sometimes, with firearms, ingests, she bites them just back of the neck so as to paralyze them. How the Lynx Whipped Mr. Dog The coon had been out after a chicken for his Sunday dinner, and was almost home upon when he met the possum, "I've been waiting for you and want to have a little talk. You know the dog one there at the red farm house?" DISTRESSING PLIGHT OF THE REV. A FIDDES, MINISTER OF ST. KILDA, WHO, UNDER BOYCOTT BY HIS PARISHIONERS, IS LEFT WITHOUT FOOD ON THAT ROCKY ISLAND IN THE NORTHERN SEAS LAST HOME OF THE ST. KILDANS' THE BURIAL GROUND rivers in that country over religious differences no more serious than that which he takes the pastor of St. Kilda from his parishioner. Suppose the garrison son actually should starve before realizing he meets. How strange such a magician would pose in the age of religious toleration. All who know the man believe that he will starve before he will be taken to the house, and everybody who knows anything about the people of St. Kilda are as sure that they will see him starve before he replaced the coin. "He caused me out of the corneloid at least a dozen times last." "And now he's after me," continued the "possum," and "I've got so scared of him that I hardly dare move from my home, so I must touch him a lossen? If we had the wounds, I would help us the three of us might lick him out of his hide." "My dear possum, neither you nor the woodchuck are fighters, and the dog is too much for me alone. You just hold on to me, and you can be a friend of mine, and who once helped winter in the swamp. When he comes we'll make that dog wish he had never been born." I am whip a dog." asked the possum. "Can he? Well, I should say to why. I alynx can fight like a house afire and gets in three bites to a dog's a nose. Let me tell you. I was a farmer this same lynx and I were living over in the big cranberry marsh and having a good time of it. Game was plenty and I was getting fat, when a farmer's dog took me to the farm for me. Every time I went, out he got after me, and sometimes I had a close shave of being caught. It was no use to me, because I was going one day I went to the lynx and told him about it." "And what did the lynx say?" "Why, he was ready to help me at once. He was a big fellow with sharp tooth and claws like carpet tacks, and he was like a carpet of ideas of having a fight. He told me just the facts. He and we had lots of fun over it. One night we started together and reached an old potato field near the house. Then I left the lynx and went on by myself. I had to go quite the barn before the dog got out and we went to a young whirlwind. I ran for the spot where the lynx was hiding, and when we got there the dog wasn't ten feet behind me." "and the lynx jumped on the dog, did he?" asked the spoonm "Ton guess he did! Yes, sir, he jumped up his mouth wide open and caught the dog's throat, and there was a fight between them." cants and comes over to their way of thinking. St. Kilda lies fifty miles northwest of the outer Hebrides, and is in communication with the Hebrides at the beginning of June to the end of August. In these summer months it is visited by steamers perhaps half a dozen times; for them a man known as much habitants of the island know as much as Skikne in Northern Norway outside world as the Kildans have a quaint seaport of their ard, but, bless you, the lynx rolled him around as if he was nothing but a rag doll. Pretty soon the dog tried to run across the river and hung on, and the lynx bit him till his hull was full of holes. That dog would never have got away alive, but the farmer heard the row and came down with a landmine carried his dog to the house in his arms, and though the dog didn't die, he took good care not to meddle with me again and used to walk about almost under his nose, to make faces at me. One night I called him a coward and dared him to come out behind the pigpen and fight me, but he answered at a polecet and never answered me." "And you'll get the lynx to do something in my case?" asked the "possum." "I certainly will. You just hold on for about two weeks and we will give that dog such a surprise party that he won't know now and want to go to bed. But I shear forget your case. Keep quiet and say nothing, adh when the lynx arrives we'll fix up our plan and Mr. Dog will wish he was a last year's lamb." New York Sun. At Least Three Persons Lost Their Christmas.

When they fly to the island, they put it, together with coins for the postage, in a tiny, roughly-shaved boat included in a tiny, roughly-shaved boat with the words "please open" cut on the top, and an inflated bladder attached.

Address, SATURDAY, JANUARY 11, 1902. Nothing in this country to-day so illustrates the bad politics of bad finance, nothing so illustrates the stupidity and folly of the politician's pet belief that "the people" at heart want bad money as the career of Leslie M. Shaw. Four years ago last summer he was a country banker, unknown utterly beyond the confines of his own state, known there only as one of the business men whom the currency issue of 1886 had brought to the stump, where he had acquired himself with cogency and brilliancy. It was a period of doubt among the sound-money forces. Prosperity had not immediately followed the inauguration any more than the election of William McKinley. There was a marked tendency, particularly evinced in the dispatch of the hopeless bimetallist commission to Europe, to hang around the parting of the ways between good money and bad. It was at this juncture that the man who is now to undertake the direction, on the administrative side, of the finances of the nation made his first campaign for the governorship of the state. He was not merely for the "best money in the world" in the manner of LINCOLN MEMORIAL SUNDAY LINCOLN MEMORIAL SUNDAY. The American Missionary Association has issued an appeal to the Congregational churches of the country to observe Sunday, February 9, as a memorial of Abraham Lincoln, whose birthday is February 12. The churches, and especially their Sabbath schools and Endeavor societies, are urged to emulate the Abraham Lincoln, "says this appeal, "was born in the mountains of the South, where schools and churches have been established by this association, and into a great multitude of more than 8,000,000, among whom this association has planted its institutions and the typical middle Western Republican statesman, who neglects carefully to define either the adjective "best" or the substantive "money." He was for gold because it was the best and only (standard) money in the world, and he proceeded to show why. The teaching of the new secretary may bring no more conviction than that of the old, but surely his doings should. This meteoric rise over their heads ought certainly to shed some light on the true path to popular favor upon the dull hosts who seek it by plodding along the miry road of popular foble. There have been many hundreds of black men lynched in the South and some in the north because they were charged with raping white women. The Southern men claim they must protect the honor of their women. On Monday, Louis Thomas, white, a cook on the steamer Peerless, was arrested in Chicago charged with having attempted to rape a Swede girl, Minnie Larson, and because she resisted he beat and choked her to death and then violated the corpse. Discovering that Robert Kelissig, a sailor on the boat, had witnessed his crime, Thoms, with drawn knife, threatened him with death until he promised silence. Then Kelissig was compelled to assist the murderer to attach weights to the corpse, carry it over the ice about twenty-five feet from the boat, where a hole was dug and the body thrust into the Chicago river. Keissig kept the secret until last Sunday night, when he told the police, and a search was made for the body with success. Thoms was arrested. We have not heard of any lynching yet. Perhaps a Swede is not one of the kind of white women whose honor is worth protecting, or perhaps it does not make so much difference when a white man robs a white woman of her honor. We do not advocate the lynching of Thoms, as we are opposed to lynching under any circumstances, but it does seem that this talk about protecting white women is all bosh, and that it is only when they can lynch a black man for such a crime it becomes necessary to do so. We say what's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. Afo-American children of the South are to be installed in manual training schools if the plans of the Children's Home Societies, which met recently in Chicago, are carried out. Twenty-four societies from different sections of the country were represented in the meeting, and in addition to the proposed action to be taken in regard to relieving the Southern Afro-American children it was decided that an exhibit of the home societies of the country be given at the St. Louis exposition. Superintendent J. L. Sehon of Kentucky read a paper on "The Southern Situation." He stated that the proper THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER missions.

It has attained such magnitude that the Southern philanthropists who have interested themselves in the colored race since the war have concluded that something must be done and at once, else the condition will grow worse. It was agreed that the best plan is to found manual training schools throughout the South, patterned in a measure after Booker T. Washington's Tuskegee institute. The institutes for the children will be on a simpler plan, since Tuskegee institute is for adults alone. Mr. W. B. Matchett of Washington, representing the government of Liberia, has called at the navy department and made a formal demand that the action of congress as embodied in the act of April 13, 1866, be carried into effect. That act, which was introduced in congress by Senator Sumner and Representative Banks of Massachusetts, provides that there shall be transferred to the government of Liberia one of the gunboats of the United States navy acceptable to the government of Liberia, and which, in the opinion of the secretary of the navy, could be spared conveniently for that purpose. Dr. W. L. Maples of Knoxville, Tenn., has recently returned from Hawaii, where he took a party of fifty-seven East Tennessee Afro-Americans, who settled at Sprecklesville, about ninety miles north of Honolulu, and are making better wages raising sugar than is possible here. Stephen Palne, a veteran fire fighter, who has been retired at the age of 70, having closed thirty years' service in the Chicago fire department, merits distinction as the inventor of the "sliding pole," a device now in use in every well-regulated fire department in the world. An Afro-American recently arrested in Washington claims to be fifty years old, although he looks twenty years younger. He also declared he could speak 124 different languages. He is either a remarkable man or an expert juggler of the truth. The Institute Bank continues to be well patronized by the teachers and students.

All the Comforts of Home Without Necessity of Giving Them An insidious little circular has of late been calling the attention of New Yorkers to certain down-town parliaments where they keep clothing, extra top coat, and changes of apparel, avoiding in this way the annoyance of going home to dress. As the collars of Killingsworth who witnessed the first journeys of Stephenson's "traveling engine" did not, in all probability, appreciate the importance of the experiment going on under their cyes, nor foresee the revolution the little machine was destined to work in the habits of mankind, so the recipient of this circular doubtless thinks its real purport of the possibilities that is meant in that innovation. The plan is that it may as yet, but what changes will ensue when our women have seized upon and elaborated the scheme? With a wardrobe judiciously distributed in different parts of the city and its suburbs, a demoiselle will be able to go through the successive transformation required by her day's amusement—jump from riding habit to golf skirt, into luncheon, reception, and ball dress—without the tiresome necessity of re-entering the family circle. Think what saving of shoes and cakes will result! Two or three stores already provide heat rooms where customers can take dips between a tussel at the bargain counter and a quick lunch. The phrase, "all the comforts of the home," will soon be as obsolete as the place itself, and returning there, except to sleep, will be eliminated from the list of a damselfly's duties.—Elliot Gregory in the Century. SKELETON DINNERS They Abound in Fluids, But Are Dev cient in Solids. "What's the matter, old man? You look as though you had been up against it," remarked a well-known man about town yesterday, meeting another of the same ilk. The comment was not uncalled for. Blear-eyed, pale and nervous, the young man thus addressed did show every evidence of extreme dissipation. He pressed both hands to his throbbing head and ejaculated: "Skeleton dinner last night. Never again. Once is enough for a lifetime." He groaned. "What's a skeleton dinner?" asked his friend. "It's a dinner with nothing to eat," she the reply, but you lack in food. "I don't know where I mine gave it at his home last night. First course, oyster shells and cocktails. Second course, hot water in boulion cups, with sherry on the side. Third course, papier maché fish, 'mother cocktail. Next course, lamb chops with the meat scraped off and claret. Then the skeleton of a turkey and gobes of champagne. By that time, the thing seemed so funny we didn't care whether we got anything to eat or not. So we drank champagne, till the cows came home and the roosters were crowing. That's a skeleton dinner. If you ever sit down to a table where an alleged humorous host begins by setting oyster shells before you, it's up to you to play foxy: "Philadelphia Record." Our Oriental Wards A Kansas young man who is teaching in the Philippines writes home: "The children have learned to read and write from the first reader, and are better students than the American children. They memorize everything. The English spelling is much nilo'l. The Spanish is fine, 'ough', 'tion', 'sion', 'sion', the native languages friendly and hospitable. The visitor must always accept a cigar or cigarette and a glass of wine. The senatori smoke cigarettes and brew betel nut. The dress of the natives is simple and brief. They have solved the problem of comfort. The hombres wear their only upper garment fapendo. They are decollete at both ends, but, withal, they are becoming and sensible. The shoes are always left at the door, and the stockings are left at home." Colored Men as Typewriters. A good many colored men are type-writers. They are employed, however, in a private capacity. I know a man who has an organ in his house. He employs a colored man to pump wind for the instrument, and as the man is intelligent he also takes dictation on the machine at home from his employer. He employs a colored man on the door of a big railroad office in the city who not only does typewriting for the general manager, but does a good deal of stenographic reporting. A Fifth avenue clergyman has a colored butter who knows how to operate a type machine, and he does it for the D. D. in a very satisfactory way—New York Post.

BENIFT OF ENDNOWMENTFUND HOME FOR AGED AND INFIRM Exposition From August 14th to August 14th, 2002 at 610 Garfield Boulevard Chicago. This From es to be one of the biggest Things ever Seen in the Windy City The Middle States and Mississippi Valley Exposition will be held in the city of Chicago, during the month of August, 1902. This will be the first exposition held by the Afro-Americans of this section of the country. It is aimed to have not only a worthy industrial exhibit of the manufactured and agricultural products of the race, but also to present to the country a substantial representation of what we achieved in these lines of endeavor that represent the artistic development of the race's growth. Already the exposition bids fair to be a stupendous success. The entire congressional delegation of the state has been invited to attend. Many of the most prominent Afro-American men and—women in the states of Iowa, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Kentucky, Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia, Tennessee, Colorado, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Carolina, South Carolina, Mississippi and Louisiana approve the plan. This means, a series and 'variety of exhibits unequaled in scope by any previous effort to give a practical demonstration of the skill a challenge has achieved since emancipation. The people of Chicago have joined hands with the movement, and will make the local exhibit one of the features of the exposition. Among the most striking exhibits in the local department will be that of the stock room, where the Packing Company will have a special exhibit that will demonstrate the workings of their entire plant. Afro American men and women will be in full charge of the exhibit from the killing of the animals dressing, curing smoking and packing the meats. This exhibition will feature the images of the exposition and will no doubt come to many as a distinct revelation. If may not be amiss to state that many of the great manufacturing companies where Afro-American men and women are employed are willing to lend their employees to the exposition. Our local Afro-American manufacturers and business people will not be behind others in the worthy character of what will prove to be an achievement. In this connection the Afro-American farmers of the surrounding country will have an exhibit of their finest farming products. Livestock will present itself as the main part of the brand of the local exhibit. The educational department of the exposition will be an extensive one. The agricultural schools will have representation. The work of the industrial schools and the race colleges and universities will be seen here at their finest development. Bookings of Washington of the Tuskegee school, B. S. Washington of the Atlanta University, Prof. R. R. Wright, of the Georgia State University and Prof. W. S. Scarborough of the Wilberforce University have been made for the exposition on education for the exposition. Aside from this there will be a general commission named from each state who will have charge of the ex hibits from their respective sections. As an unique and special expo sition in material and general development the Middle states and Mississippi Valley Exposition will stand as our first great effort of the 20th century. The officers of the exposition are: James W. Camp, president; Joseph H. Hudun, treasurer; Edward H. Morris, treasurer; John A. Morris; Mrs. J. C. Snowden, secretary; Mrs. Gabriella Smith, superintendent. The Young Ladies' Culture Club entertained a few friends at the residence of Missella Phillips, 2339 Armour avenue, New Year's eve. As usual a customary good time was had, and one can consider himself fortunate to receive among those present were Misses Blanche Hagan, Daisy Hoggett, Louise Mitchell, Alice Lawson, Annie J.

Joseph Chamberlain, according to the dispatches from London, is not at the height of his popularity just now, but his support in at least one district school is unfaltering. A well known school inspector had spent the best part of an hour telling some youthful learners in Birmingham of the natural beauties around them, and had closed his talk with the question: "Now, who is it who makes these wonderful things?" "Mr. Chamberlain," was the instant response from a little girl near the head of the class. For a moment the inspector was staggered. Then he said: "But surely you don't think Mr. Chamberlain could make a blade of grass?" "Ob," said the little girl, with a sudden convulsion. "then you're a pro-Boer." Slang at its Source. It is not often that the origin of a slang expression can be traced and when its pretended pedigree is related it usualizes as a sound of inherent familiarity. The expression heard many times at the New York horse show is "to give a horse the gate." It meant that the judge decided that the horse was impossible as a competitor for the prize offered and derided him out of the ring. And already this expression has been heard outside. One girl was heard to say to another: "I thought George and Sally were going to hit it off, but for some reason she gave him the gate." Girls in such cases used to give mitten, but the new expression has superseded the old one—New York Press. THE CULTURE CLUB SOCIETY DIRECTORY. ST. PAUL. MINNESOTA, A. P. AND A. M. JOHN N.
