FUTURE AMERICAN DEBUTANTES MAY COST THEIR WEIGHT IN GOLD HILLIAM C. HHITNEYS EXPENDITURE FOR THE COMING=OUT PARTY OF MISS ADELAIDE DOUGLASS RANDOLPH HAS ESTABLISHED THE SOCIETY LIMIT FOR SUCH FUNCTIONS AT $25,610-103+ POUNDS IN GOLD VOL. 18. NO. 6. FUTURE A FLY-CASTING FOR D PARTNERS ONE OF ODDITIES OF THE SOCIAL SEASON EW York, Jan. 25. By the recent Whitney reception the price of a dress was raised to $25,610. As this is not too costly for the blessed privilege of joining the elect, the standard dress is earned, and there may be a $50,000 beauty among the deboutakes of next season. As none of the four hundred ever resign, the dress is each succeeding debut an effort is made to outshine the one preceding. Thus far the introduction to society of a stepfather, the stepfather, William C. Whitney, has been the most costly affair of the kind in recent years. As such it must be accepted as a dress, and girls in short dresses already are figuring on spending more than a considerable downdress on their first appearance. The pace was so fast that rumor has it more than one sweet bud was condemned to another year at school rather than comparison by coming out this season. Just how a dancing stepfather can spend $25,610 for a mere routine coming out, is not known, but it is top notch. They usually are placed Twixt Earth and Sky By Norman Duncan. HE WAS a strong, quick lad of sixteen years. If big bones, blue eyes and a tow head count for anything he had Swedish blood in his vein. It was his duty for eight hours of every working-day to fetch and carry over the girders and crosses, as the girders and crosses grew, foot by foot, over the ravine. Bolts, tools, water and what not be took nimbly from the girders and crosses. Nobody knew who he was, and only the foreman knew where he came from. The men of the gang called him "Johnson's kid". Johnson, the brusque, gigantic formulas, his child, kid, and curiously, seemed to value the dumb affection and loyalty the wolf gave him. The formulas ready ensured spoon with his kid needed protection from the baiting of the men, which was often; but a show of tender The kid's regard for Johnson was past the understanding of the gang. In the sight of the men, who hated him and had traits to win love, it was commonly put down to a queer twist in the boy's nature that he should care for Johnson. When he was in the source in a happening of two years before, when the White Rock bridge was built in Northwest, and the kid was new at the work. It was there, one day, when he was walking a two-eight girder 100 feet from his presence of mind for the first and the last time. This loss of courage, or self-passion, this loss of courage, or self-passion, no matter how used to high places. It is unaccountable and comes suddenly.

They only tell the actual expense of the routine affair of one night, trifling affairs entirely aside. That is why society stands a little amazed and is pondering over sweet young things hardly out of short skirts erally it purrs an急 to the man's career. Either he fails to his death, or, so fearless as he is, he summons courage to venture out on the structure. The occasion the kid had dropped his pail of water and sunk to the grinder. He lay flat on his stomach, gripping the womens with arms and knees. His case was too severe. The womens low had utterly overcome him. It seemed inviolable that he should fight of sheer strength. He was quick to space to the river. His arms were fast becoming nerveless. He was not perceived the boy's predicament. He was quick to act, and his experience made him fertile in expolients. Calmly, and whispering, he walked away, just out of reach. He sat lazy, just out of reach, for as long as he dared, he looked up and down the stairs. He looked up and sang. He observed that the near presence of self-passion seemed to quiet the lad: "Here, kid," said the sounder, quietly, "get to land an tell Bill Oleson to hurry up with them rivets. And say," he added, "don't you lose any time about it!" The boy did not move. It was evident, the command had stopped, blm somewhat. "Hear me?" roared the foreman. "Get up when I tell you! Hurry them rivets up. Then the boy got to his feet. While, pale and shaking, he made his way over the fifty feet of narrow foothold, the foreman hastened to grab him, haste. When the boy reached the platform of the abutment he fell in a faint; but the foreman was there to catch him, carried him the rest of the way to the bluff. It was for this that the kid loved Johnson. It was for what occurred the next week that Johnson came as near to loving the child as would come, perhaps, to loving anything. In the noon hour, which is the time for him to come out, upright, bent on proving his course, he might put a stop to the globs of the men once and for all. There was an eight-inch plate of riveted securely to the top of the boy's head, persevering against the warning cries of the men, who had gathered to watch him. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1902. Up to the date of the blossoming of Miss Randolph such an affair was supposed to be elaborate, particularly doting parent had more to spend, but the average cost was reasonable until the 1940s, and the same time enlarged the list of the four hundred to a round thousand in his invitations. The travagance also may have had something to do with the comparatively small list of debentures the past season, for society keeps caretown memoranda of the past year. The plant and costly affair was depressing. It was known and rehearsed long in advance and hardly will be forgotten with the coming of the next season. In a coming out at home the fair debentate and her sponsors are mere incidents that perform helpless in the hands of the next season. For at least three or four days in advance a small army of electricians goes to the city in the light order being to profit the prettiest effects and spare no expense. It was not so long ago that the son of a great priest ably assisted in propping up the aquarium in a side room, the water being illuminated by colored electric light globes. Then we nood erect, looked at the sky and river and all around, and danced a beautiful "What'd you do that for?" the foreman asked him angry, when he had come before him, and how do you better thing for? Don't you know you better? My feet was cold, boss," said the kid with a twinkle in his eyes. He moved to name him, "Johnson moved for once to enthrall you." You stick to me and I will stand by you. Understand? For stick to me. It came about that the foreman and the kid traveled East company; and when Johnson was put to work on the big cantilever at Rocky Gorge, they were still together. "What can come," the foreman had said to the boy, "You're a bridge builder born." The big cantilever bridge was a difficult job and Johnson was more harsh and difficult when the men were making ready for the great strike which took place that year, who cared neither for Johnson's gang, who cared neither for Johnson, or other thought they had found their opportunity for revenge. They responded to their protended sympathy with the men, and accused the burter foreman of having disclined the stricter plans to the superintendent who did not take the trouble to deny the duty to deny the duty to have ugly-tempered commands and a brimming measure of labor for every hour. The hatred of his enemies grew more menacing, and their number increased. From suspicion to threats of vengeance is a short and easy path for men who have already undertaken a lawless course. Johnson was thrice anonymously warned work elsewhere, and that quickly. A coalfire was scrawled in black and red on the last notice gave point to the warning. Upon hearing that the gang takes pains to show his contempt by a fragrant abuse of the worst of the malcontents, whom, recklessly, he soon a plich of fury that boded ill for him. The kid observed this cloud of danger rising. He had nothing to fear for himself, but he was no less distressed on the account. In his own way he made him SPLENIDIH BALL ROOM IN THE NEW WHITNEY MANSION, WHERE MISS RANDOLPH HAS INTRODUCED TO SOCIETY After the electricians come carpenters, and then decorators and florists, and on the morning of the great day the caterer takes an enchanted chair to hold him. Sherry and he usually is—he will consent to no interference whatever, and the house owner must stand aside. Sherry puts in as many chairs as she washes. He will not make use of a single article in the house, but dries them and silverware are his. Tabledoths, lins and glassware are his; chairs, cannies and velvet mats for approaches and bedding, and everything, and on twenty-four hours' wild spread a feast in the Fifth Avenue. He also supplies a few detrities, by the way, to watch his silver and lins. These are not to be counted among the clothes men may engage by the host to watch overcoats and jewels. But this is where the coming out is a home affair. Things are done more reasonably, coming a whole Miss. self guard and watchman for his patron. He nosed here and there and everywhere, he met the workers in and out of some over act, and lay awake in the shack at night, feigning sleep, when the workers were in undertones. At at his vigilance was the night. On the October night which just preceded the first day of the big strike the workers were down to the superintendent's office in the ravine, under the bluff opposite to that where the workmen's shack was set. There was a fence, and a ravine, the edge of the cliff for half a mile, it then descended steeply to the gorge, and over a ravine bridge to the opposite side. At various points the path turned sharp angles, and ran through a fringe of trees, and rain had fallen in the afternoon, and the fog now lay like a blanket in the ravine. The men had made a fire in the big box house, and returned, being made at a late hour, would be attended with some danger. The men had made a fire in the big box house was cold. Gathered round the fire, a group of the foreman's personal enclosure and soon worked themselves into a rage. "What's the kid?" exclaimed Big Red Bush, suddenly and somewhat anxiously, "the boy idling innocently near the door." "He's all right," one of them whispered, "in the whispers ensued. The kid heard the Johnson coupled with the word "event" spoken with deep passion. it needed to be heard. He cared. The stray words that came to him increased his unmeasured. He fancied that the men were to "take it out of Johnson" Soon four men passed on their way out into the night. Their faces were worn. The foreman had thrashed for insubordination three weeks before. When they had done the boy felt himself to be under the room. Nevertheless, he made up his mind that, cost what it might, he would be good to Johnson, who had been good to "Fetch the kid here," he heard some "Fetch the kid here," he heard some one say in a whisper. The kid was making speedily for the door. Four men, Big Red in the lead, and Mr. Brown in the back, not to be caught. He escaped through the open door and sped down the path to the edge of the bluff. He had planned to be in the back, and in all he did that night he hesitated not once. The path to the ravine was closed to him by the four men who had gone ahead. He could not surely avoid them, because he was too far away. He ambush. So, at the division, he left the path to the ravine for that leading to the bridge abutment. The men, not so active, had been at the top of his speed, he could hear them stumbling on, and he ran at the top of his speed, to make the eastern abutment of the big cannlever had at that time been finished. The ironwork of the structure stretched out on the ground, and he reached for the middle of the gorge, teaching for the meet the opposite section them under cover. Half-way up the bluff, on broad leash, he made his place. The lean, black arm, which lifted the ponderous girders from the bottom of the ravine to the stations in the point to which the structure has been carried. From its extremity hung the ponderous blocks. The rope fell to the ground below, venience, the ironwork had been tren room about three weeks ago. As favors always go with a cottage, a little diverery with a mirror along the walls of orchids along with the favors. There were 300 of the blossoms and they cost $1.25 each. Miss Evelyn Burden was introduced to seaside life at the handsome affair, indeed. The expenses came within a modest $10,000, but that was only the first of a series of three receptions. Miss Syllou Boulgault also was one of the season's beauties. Violets formed a feathery spray from the town a above over a makeshift railroad. The lace in the end, which just cleared the ground, the ropes taut. It was the practice, at the hour, to leave the arm so that the ropes would stretch from the end of the girdle put in the back of the ravine. The plan of the kid was to walk the girdle to the ropes and descend thence by the 'standing fall' to the bottom of the ravine. The night had cleared. Low in the sky to the moon was breaking through the thin air, and broad light soon. The boy picked his way over the encumbered platinum plate, and came to the naked girdle, which protruded to the air, when his pursuers found him out. you're all safe, kid!" Big Red shouted, "are you as good there as anywhere?" He was all smiles and laughing, for they were tired with the run and amused by the issue. He was all smiles and way cautiously, balancing himself with the way he was barely sufficient. The path he must be lay dark before him; but his grief was barely sufficient in its place. It did not wray under his wounds. The way had not been difficult to his experienced feet and trained nerve. He jumped just beyond the end of the path. Far below-250 feet below-and far below—the lights in the superintendent's house. He was executive offices shone cheerfully. It was the lights he was bound. When he came to the end of the girder he paused a moment and then iron plank, sixteen inches wide. The was nothing above—nothing on either side; all about was mity space, all that was above. Big Red broadened a sudden. The kid had reached for the tackle. It was now plain to the men on the bluff that he was fighting. They came after him, threatening him with violence if he should persevere. Red shouted heartily.

He allowed himself baff an inch more. Then, by leaning out so that a break of it might have topped the wig, he healed it again, and to push it. This nearly cost him his balance. He totered for the space of a bread, but recovered, clevely leaned forward again, nothing daunted. Meanwhile Biggie was tipping at his wig, and he turned his head, but kept his text in their place. out of there!" he said, grimly. "Let me alone. You don't come here! Get back!" Johnson was bolding the superintendent good night when the kid, out of breath, brought his warning to the office. Johnson was saved, and you may be sure his friendship for the kid was not diminished by this latest exploit—Youth's Companion. AVE YOU READ THE APPEAL?

Every Afro-American in Illinois ought to give something to help in the Alton school fight. The rights of the race are at state. THE APPEAL gives $10. How much will you give reader? MRS. STOWEDID NOT RETRACT. The charge made by certain Southern women that Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe repented having written "Uncle Tom's Cabin." This story was started many years ago and was circulated in Florida where Mrs. Stowe lived during the winter and was there heard by Mrs. Mary Furner Carriel of Jacksonville, Illinois, whose father was an active opponent of slavery and who was well acquainted with Mrs. Stowe. Mrs. Carriel was surprised at the story and wrote to Mrs. Stowe, asking if there was any truth in it. Under date of April 20, 1887, Mrs. Stowe wrote to Mrs. Carriel, the following letter, never before given to the public: Dear Madam: It is a vile slander to say that I ever had a shape or form taken the things in "Uncle Tom's Camin." I never did --- GET UNDERSTANDING! "There's nothing new under the sun." "Oh, yes, there is! There's a pair of new shoes under my son about once a month." did not find the Southern Negroes "degraded, ignorant or worthless," considering their disadvantages far better than many white people. Please assert these things boldly on my authority. Your friend, HARRIET BEECHER STOWE. This ought to have ended the matter, but a "lie travels by telegraph, while the truth goes by coach." Now will the Southern women who have stirred up this matter, be good? alcohol after being used; that floor and woodwork must be mopped with an antiseptic solution; that sanitary hairbrushes must be used and regularly sterilized; that combs must be kept clean and never wiped off with the hand or blown upon with the breath; that a separate clean towel shall be used for each customer, and that clean towels or absorbent cotton Mr. Richard Croker, in taking his farewell of Tammany Hall, confessed that "the times have changed; New York has progressed and politics should progress in the same way." Does this mean that Mr. Croker and the rest of Tammany Hall realize that the day of official blackmail is done? He is out of politics, he says, for all time. Is it because he is sure that never again a political party can be maintained for private plunder, and that public robbery and thievery have been put on the same plane with similar conduct in personal life? If Tammany has foresworn "red light" methods and blackmall and rakeoffs because they can no longer be employed successfully in municipal government, the Fusion campaign of last hall has done more for New York city than it ever dreamed it could do. A blackmaller is a blackmaller and a thief is a thief, but if the most powerful political organization in New York has learned that the people of New York have made progress beyond blackmall and theft in their municipal government there is a proud history before that city. But the people of New York are not likely to forget that since repentance has come to Tammany Hall through the punishment visited upon it for its blackmail, the safer and surer way to confirm it in its repentance will be to keep it deprived of the power to relapse into old practices. The sick devil will stay reformed more easily than the well devil. A daily contemporary has headlines to an article as follows: "Color Line in Kansas; Negroes Are Causing Trouble; Insist Upon Admission to White Schools, Although Separate Schools Are Provided." All distinctions are odious, and none more so than the senseless, inconsistent ones in vogue in this country on account of color. There would have been no trouble if the Afro-Americans had not been outraged and insulted by the rule made by the members of the school board, that Afro-American children should not attend schools with white children. Of course the school board was composed entirely of whites; THEY CAUSED THE TROUBLE, not the "Negroes." It is stated in the article that this color trouble has caused the burning of the school building twice. We do not advocate such harsh measures, but it would be better that all the school buildings be burned than that one portion of God's creatures should be outraged and insulted by another portion, and that the children of one portion should be taught that they are superior to another or inferior to another on account of race or color. The barbers of Washington, D. C., have adopted regulations and rules for the conduct of barbers which it would be well for all the barbers in the country to adopt, viz.: That barbers shall not annoy their customers by excessive conversation; that mugs and shaving brushes shall be sterilized by immersion in boiling water or a 5 per cent solution of carbolic acid; that razors shall be wiped with 95 per cent THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER alcohol after being used; that floors and woodwork must be mopped with an antiseptic solution; that sanitary hairbrushes must be used and regularly sterilized; that combs must be kept clean and never wiped off with the hand or blown upon with the breath; that a separate clean towel shall be used for each customer, and that clean towels or absorbent cotton shall be used in place of powder puffs. Barbers are also ordered to keep their teeth clean and their finger nails short and clean, and are directed to keep their mouths shut when leaning over a customer getting shaved. The Farmers' Tribute of Minneapolis goes in for expensive advertising. In order to interest people in its news paper it has deposited $2,500 in the First National bank of Minneapolis, which is to be given away free to the 461 persons who prove themselves the best counters of the dot puzzle. It is simple ciphering, and any child can count the black specks. Besides $1,000, the first grand prize, there are 460 free cash prizes, and the contest is open to men, women and children. A 16-year-old miss won $100 in the last contest. Our boys and girls ought to do even better than that, if they try. The Caucasian Presbyterian ministers of Baltimore are opposed to the "Jim Crow" car bill now pending in the Maryland legislature and adopted resolutions expressing the hope that the bill will be defeated. Rev Dr. Edward F. Eggleston said he was reared in the South and knew that in all cases where there is a separate car law in force the cars provided by the railroads for the Afro-Americans are very deficient in accommodations. The ninety-third anniversary of the birthday of the martyr, Lincoln, will occur next Wednesday, and in the evening all over this country there will be gatherings of those who revere his memory, and the eulogies which will be pronounced will not only be the finest specimens of oratory, but will show the high esteem in which the "Great Emanclipator" is held. The Afro-American population of the United States is migrating Northward. They seem to be getting tired of treatment accorded in the Southland, and the more intelligent people are coming North where they'll get a fair show. The Afro-American population of Chicago has doubled in a decade. An Afro-American colony from Alabama will be established in Mills county, Iowa. Some of the finest land has been purchased, costing in some cases $200 per acre. The products of the farms and gardens will be placed on the Omaha markets. Chester, Pennsylvania, is just now aroused over the killing of a policeman by an Afro-American and there is talk of mob. The North is rapidly being educated down to the Southern standard. TUSKEGEE NOTES The Tuskegee conference will meet in annual session at Tuskegee, Ala. Weekend. You can easily afford to stop one or two days and come to the conference. You cannot afford to miss the helpful things which are said at these things concerning the colored people.

The author commends Wolsve for his sup- plication to his writings in England and for his life destined for the dead. and for his deathed advice to Henry: "and for his deathed advice to Henry: that he have a vigilant eye to depress the pernicious sect of Lutherans, that it do not neglect his negligence, in such sort as that he shall be subdued to the threat to put harness upon his back to subdue them."

At the Grand Opera House, St. Paul. The attraction offered to the patrons of the Grand Opera House the coming week will be a visit of that enjoyable comedy-drama "Yon Yonson." Although in its tenth year, "Yon Yonson" is reported this year to be more successful than ever before. For a play to live any time in the popularity of the theatre-going public it must possess both novelty and merit. These elements are true of "Yon Yonson," for it offers such novelty in its exposition of Anglo-Saxon life and comedy, and realism, with special features in the fact that the plot, dramatic scenes it treats in quite an exhaustive manner of life in the pine woods district of northern Minnesota, a field which the ambitious playwright has hitherto left unexplored to a great extent.

No doubt a large measure of the success of "Yon Yonson can be ascribed to the fact that he was working in retrograde in any manner, in manners, from year to year, continually improved its production, and this season is said to offer the best producing company and the most elaborate scenic environment the play has ever received. In the name part this season is found Mr. Knute Erickson, a native Swede, being "to the manor born" as it were. Mr. Erickson is said to invent his personalisation of the unisphisticated Swede with all the characteristics that indicate a conception of the role. His interpretation is not a burlesque or a caricature, but an attempt to naturally and faithfully portray the requirements the role demands.

A certain judge who once presided over a criminal court was famous as one of the most compassionate men who ever sat upon the bench. His softness of heart, however, did not prevent him from doing his duty as a judge. A man who had been convicted of stealing a small amount was brought into court for sentence. He looked very sad and hopeless, and the court was much moved by his contrite appearance. "Have you ever been sentenced to imprisonment?" the judge asked. "Never! Never!" exclaimed the prisoner, bursting into tears. "Don't cry, don't cry," said the judge, consolingly, "you're going to be now!" Street Urcriths Get No Chance to Carry Bags for Golf. The early evening suburban trains coming into the Broad street station and the Reading terminal in Philadelphia contain a good sprinkling these days of young men and women carrying bags filled with golf clubs. The boys who lurk about the exits in the hope of picking up nickels and dimes for carrying small baggage let these people severely alone. They know it's no use. A young man alighted from one of the trains at the terminal yesterday afternoon, says the Philadelphia Record, accompanied by two young women. He was, consequently, loaded down with three of the unwieldy bags—his own and those of his two companions. As he passed through the gates he was approached by a boy, who cried: "Carry yer baggage, mister?" The young man simply waved him aside. Another boy, more worldly wise, took the first boy to task: "When yer in de business as long as me," he said, you'll know better dan to waste yer breat on dem guys. Dem's players, dem is. Dey wouldn't let yer carry dere stuff fer not'n. Dey t'ink's smart to be carryin' dem clubs around de streets. Some of 'em carries 'em aroun' don't play golf at all.

The rapid increase of the Afro-American population of Chicago has been a subject of considerable comment lately. The following from a Washington correspondent of the Record is a city with a doubtless prove interesting to African Americans. CASH OR CREDIT The Negro population of the United States is migrating northward. From their homes amid the cotton blossoms and the magnolias they are seeking homes in the northern cities. If the homes in the northern cities of the Negro will cease to be associated with the sunny South and Dixie land, Washington, the capital of the nation, according to the census of 1890, had the distinction of sheltering the largest Negro population of any city in the United States, although at that time it ranked fourteenth among all cities in size. The last census dethrones Washington in the matter of black inhabitants, Chicago having surpassed the nation's capital in the ratio of gain, having re-established its growth in Negro population in the last decade, and gaining in gain of 4,749 more blacks than this city, Philadelphia, if it maintains its present ratio of gains, will show a heavier Negro population than Washington in 1920 and may be in 1910. New Orleans years had the largest Negro population in the United States, holding the record until 1890, when displaced by Washington. ATTENTION.

Canada's Principal Production Canada's Principal Production. Canada has never liked the image in which Kipling presented her as "Our Lady of Killip," but that it might be held to cast reproach for climate and discourage emigration. Wilkes's female admirer, defending him from the reproach of squinting, said that he did not squint more than a gentleman and a man of honor ought to squint, and Canadians in general stand up for their territory as not a bit more wintry than it ought to be. London has recently told the Imperial Council all about it, but failed to mention principal production of the country is emigrants to the United States, found on arrival to be particularly intelligent and useful.—New York Tribune. From an Author's Journal. Following is an extract from the journal of an author who has not been fortunate enough to write a successful novel: "Rose at 5 and thought out plot for a short story. At 8 I rang the breakfast bell, moved the chairs around the table and rattled the knives to fool the neighbors. Wrote two poems on the world as a great place to fast in; also a short article to prove that appetite is a mere delusion. I then went to the postoffice to hear the clerk say there had been a wreck on the street. I went to a late manuscript wouldn't arrive until after Christmas. The clerk obeyed that it was a 'beautiful day' I went out and dined sumptuously on the climate."-New York Telegram. IN OLD BILBAO. Among other places along the Spanish coast the queen regent of Spain visited recently on board the royal yacht was Biblao. This very important town is the capital of Biscay, one of the four sister provinces. It is beautifully situated along the banks of the river Nervion and surrounded by high and partly wooded hills. The old town is very uninteresting, with its ugly houses, many stories high, and badly paved streets. There are one or two fine churches, and the quaint, much-veneered shrine of Begonya, the Biblao high up on one of the hills. The Biblao would never forceive Maria Christiana who did not take her youthful son to hear mass in that miraculous "basilica." The new suburb of Biblao—Ensanche—is very modern and can vie with any other European capital, with its fine buildings and well laid out parks. STATE OF MINNESOTA COUNTY OF Ramsay, ss. Probate Court.
