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. Recruits in the Navy. N HOUR almost any day agent in the naval recruiting rendez-vous on lower Market street, San Francisco, will be interesting. With the great expansion of the United States an increasing demand for sailors boys. San Francisco's recruiting rendez-vous technical of many stations along our Atlantic coast, will be an increasing academy at Annapolis and the war college at Newport train American youth for naval order givers, the recruiting station at Annapolis, the academic age that are the nation's reliance in days of struggle. The man behind the gun in these days of scientific warfare is a perennial subject. While there is endless red tape about entering the offices of the higher authoritarian, the navy departments of door the recruiting station, the door One goes up unkempt stairs, past paper signs on the walls: "Wanted. Men for recruiting." A room in which there are few chairs a bench and a table littered; with papers and writing material. Very likely there is a sitting about, and always an officer of the navy, dressed scrupulously in bright uniform. There are little rooms leading applicants for Uncle Sam's service. Oh, it is a very easy thing to get into the navy, providing you have a good constitution, hard muscles and a average character. However, if one has any thinking to do concerning enlistment in the navy, he must be recruiting officer's office and sign his name in any of the blank books. The recruiting officer's office and sign there Uncle Samuel does all the thinking for him. You will do well to think assiduously, my patriotic friend, before you leave the navy, while you walk the streets penniless, and you walk the ground, work at the force corps brief, and home on the farm—but when you have sigged Uncle Sam's naval rolls, that embolden old gentleman stairs your pay and you will do all your pondering for you. On the sturdy young men who came among in the navy one morning, was a chap whom we shall call Job Budd—a man of twenty-three years. There are several applicants for enlistment in the offices when Joe arrived. He was told to come up, sit in the leutenant, and not come up to the physical requirements of the service, and with a curt, "You're wanted, sir, by the leutenant, each man of twenty-three years out and down the stairs still a free man. At length the leutenant approached Joe and you want to enlist for" said the officer. "To be seaman; I've served some at sca." "Where were you born?" "fear," but I've lived most of my life in Los Angeles." "Can you prove it?" said the officer, while he looked the lad over and over, very easily. "Can you take your examination," said the lieutenant, after a moment's deliberation. " said the adjoining department, where he stripped to the skin, was weighed, measured, thumped,made, to withstand real letters across the name, color, name, picture, and record every identifying mark and certify that he was up the unquestioning standpoint. "What does that measure that measures every last man that rides the sea in a man-of-war, was taken out of one man, and asked him rapidly a question to test his knowledge of primary things aboard ship. What a topgallant mast! What's the name of this questioning and Joe sat down and reeved a purchase and tie strand knots that blind where the salt spray files and the water is running. Spliced two cable ends with a mastery that backed up his account of his sea A clerk came in from another room with a bundle of paper. They were the enlisted men, applied for admission to the navy that morning. Joe Budd's was among them. He customarily called out, handsome, some of the officers, the eight in the bench went meekly forward, hat in hand. In a monotone the clerk perused the articles of agreement between the United States and the enlisted man in the navy as seriously as if to his death sentence, reading finished, the clerk said: "Joseph son will sign first, 'at your name there.' The had signed laboriously, sign here in this book, and also in this book." "I didn't get that quite on the line," rays Budd, nologothetics, as the job endifies the register so full of ruler columns. "That's all right, Budd. You belong to Uncle Sam now, and you've got a day pay coming to you," says the teacher at the beach. "And you are on Maui Island." And so a bunch of eight defenders were added to our naval force and so rapid, decisive routine of acceptance and rejection. Seamen and coal passers are quickly examined and accepted or rejected at the rendezvous. The navy wants skilled laborers, the police, the police makers, blacksmiths, etc., for the fighting machine of to-day is a big machine. The big machine is a big big shop machinery. And it wants engineers and firemen as well as seamans and coal heavers. The machine is at the rendezvous to examine skilled laborers, and when they pass this and the rigid medical examinations they are sent to the shops at Maui and the big big big shop machines, and engineers there, for Uncle Sam wants none not masters of trades. Of course the skilled labor enlisted is all for the big big big big shop yards are merely hired as civilians. The government steamer left for Mars Island at 4 p. m., and twenty men were marched from the rendezvous to board her, some within an hour after passing an examination. At the wharf a middle aged little woman had a chance to give Joe Budd a tearful hug. Eighteen hours later Joe was, triggered out in his uniform on the receiving ship at the navy yard and lined up with a squad of recruits in front of the drill sergeant. The morning Joe was given a suit of blue clothes, consisting of a shirt or jumper, and a tuxedo. Two suits of white duck overalls, two suits of light-blue underwear, one knitted cap for common wear and a typical flat-topped sailor cap for shore wear, socks, shoes, a black silk neckle, white tape for lacing up the shirt, a knife, brown canvas leggings for dress wear, a hammock to sleep in, two blankets, a mattress cover and a clothes bag. For three months Joseph Budd was drilled thrice a day in a thousand and one movements for developing the seaman's muscles, his dexterity with cutlass and arrears. At became tedious after a while, and the other recruits murmured, but that did no good. The drill master, who heard similar complaints for year, Finally Joe Budd was transferred to a bat, clearly and became a man behind the gull in the service of his country. The first thing a man-of-war recruits bo'sun's mate's pipe and the bray of the marine "windminder"'s buple. The bushman's trumpets all hands forward awake at 5 o'clock in the morning. A hammock at 5 o'clock in the morning. A hammock at 5 o'clock on a bleak, chill morning. But when the "windminders' notes" note away, blasts on his pipe, followed by the bushman's trumpets. "time all hands" is sounded, the men are allowed six minutes to scramble out of their hammocks and stow them away in the hammock netting. The man who their hammocks and stow them away in the hammock netting this performance is spotted by the shef master-at-arms—and he does not go ashore on liberty with his shipmate. The hammocks stowed, the officer of the deck (in his bare feet, generally, like the mes's forward, and therefore not quite so gallant and dignified-looking as he appears, when you go aboard on your visit) nods to the watchful bo'sun's mate, and the word, "Wasn't down," is passed on. Then the pumps below begin to thump, and for a solid hour, "green seas" pour over the decks. The scrubbing, mauling of gear, rubbing of anything and everything, rubble, are predigious. Every man, and every woman, is making a good and his business to get that station as clean as washed wool: If he does not get it clean, he is sent to "the mast," when his slouchiness is corrected by the inspecting officer. Every cranny and corner of a man-o'-war is numbered, for "cleaning purposes, from the to'gallant fo'c'sle to the after engine room, and every man-o'-var's man has a number to correspond to his cleaning station. While the men on deck are whitening the decks and scouring the guns and uncolling and rortowing loose gear, the black gang below are polishing up their intricate machinery and washing out blights. At 7 o'clock the po'sun's mate gets another nod from the officer of the deck; then he gives his pipe a bit of a whid and growls, "Knock off!" The men quit work where they stand and wash themselves for breakfast. The galley cooks get breakfast ready while the rest of the crew forward are cleaning. When "mess gear" is "piped" the mess cooks' strikers (generally apprentice boys) quil down the swinging tables, and the painkin-served meals are on the tables in a fifty. The bluejackets are hungry, of course. The fcd is substantial, but the recruit must become accustomed to the way it is served. The average man-o-war man regards his breakfast as only a foundation for a smoke-the best smoke of the day. On American men-o-war there is an open lantern, called the "smoking lamp," hanging, as a rule, at the break of the foe'sle. The corporal of the marine guard lights and extinguishes this lamp, in accordance with directions from the officer of the deck. When the smoking lamp is aglow the man-o-war's man may smoke himself black in the face. So the sailor bolts his breakfast for the sake of his first morning's smoke—for he has to crowd his breakfast, the smoke and the somewhat elaborate "policing" of himself and dressing up for quarters within the space of an hour. "Quarters," which is the first roll call of the day on a war ship, is sounded in the United States navy at 8:30 a. m. The men forward, bluejackets and marines, don't put on their best uniforms for ordinary quarters, but they must look neat and clean to stand their division officer's inspection. The chief petty officers attached to divisions, above and below, call the roll and report to the division officers, the chief officer, and the commander. Finally the executive officer reports to the commanding officer, who stands at the cabin door. In port there are always men reported "absent ashore with the ship," and the chief officer (who suffer for it upon their return) are called. The man who is aboard the ship and misses quarters is halted to the stick by the chief master-at-arms, and the commander is given the dose of "extra duty" for his remembrance. Immediately upon the dismissal of men from quarters the marine and ship's buglers in unison sound "drill call." There is a round of drills to fit all hands, in all the ship's departments, for every day in the week. Often several different drills are made in progress on the same deck. In the case of the ship's officers, the exercise callhenics of a sort by no means adopted to kindergartens. Most of the men come in for single-stick drill—a rather antiquated drill this, when it is considered how remote the probability is of modern men-o'-war getting sufficiently close together for cutlass to be of use. All hands also have co-master the use of the rifle. When a man-o'-war is tied up at a navy yard every one gets a dally dose of battalion drill in infantry formation ashore in the yard on the marines' parade ground. The other drills aboard ship are too small to be made for the men to use, the great guns; knotting and splitting, which means a mastery of all knots used on shipboard; exercise with scientific instruments; "arm and away," a hurry affair, requiring extreme alertness in maning the boats; "repelling boarders," another antiquated but exceedingly athletic drill; "abandon ship," which all hands hasily provision the boats and sheer off in them, often in midocean, when the sea is smooth; "collision quarters," a lightning-like closing of the doors of the war-tight compartments; and "the unrest of the ship's officers," a hustling or restorative practice, with ridles and revolvers, and drills a plenty, besides, too technical to be referred to. The drills of the morning ordinarily last for an hour and a half, or until 10 o'clock, when the men are dismissed to mugle in the kitchen, and the men are smoking, "Turn to it" is sounded, and the men put finishing touches to their cleaning work of the morning. The men wash the kitchen, and when they wash up for dinner. About five minutes before this meal, the men begin to form the beer line. The chief master-arms at the main kitchen, and for which the men pay the bumboatmen. At 1 o'clock "Turn to" goes again, and then for three or four hours the men forward put in the heavy work of the day. The chief bo'sun's mate always knows where to find work for the bluejackets. There is always a paymaster's store room to be "broken out" and restowed; always a magazine that needs overhauling; always ashes to be hauled up on elevators from the fire rooms, anchors to be repainted, ammunition boxes to be red-leaded, ship's sides to be scraped or scrubbed to a dazzling whiteness—in brief, the bo'sun's mate of a modern man-o'war is never at a loss for ideas, and one of the requirements of his rate is that he must always be able to find labor for four times the number of the ship's company. When the men finally "knock off" at 4 or 5 o'clock, the only remaining duty is the call to evening's quarters about sundown. The mess-gear for, supper is piped, and when the meal is over all hands shift into the slouchiest clothes they possess in their dirty bags, and settle down for an evening of comfort. The studious go to the library, but the library is never overcrowded with men. There is always too much going on on the deck to make reading or letter-writing possible, except for serious men. The bluejackets and marines who possess musical instruments bring them out of their dirty bags and all hands among the musicians play different tunes at one each other, the singers also-singing different ballads, as a rule, at no very great distinction; boxers have each of them the gloves they wear; the tie dancers form their special par- THE APPEAL. Will He Catch It This Time? ties of admirers, the spinners gather their clientele about them, and from immediately after supper until "hammering" the sleepy men may turn in if they so elect—there is life and movement on deck. The men must remain a bit quieted, and the men's voices sounded—"pipe down" being the taps of the army—all lights, except the stand of men—warm and friendly, men—oar day after lunch, at 8:30.

"I had an amusing experience the other day when I met a clerk who not always spend upon names and appearances," said a bureau chief in one of the government departments. "I asked the clerk who spoke German, I requested that one be supplied me, stating that I preferred a German clerk. I had for him to do required a good knowledge of that language. The following day the messenger entered my room and informed me that the new clerk was "What is his name?" I asked. "What would he want?" I replied. "Why would he want a German, not an Irish man," said. "Well, sir," the messenger answered, "expression, that was the name he gave me." I told the messenger to show the new man his color and features, walked a man whose color and features were emphatically African. He smiled and asked for me to recover my breath and speech.

Catching Coa. Once again, codlifting on the Banks is necessary, and when fishing is good the men rarely ever sleep. Awakened at 2 a. m. to fill their boat "kids," or tubs, they start at daybreak to lift these trawls and remove the overnight catch, rerating the hooks again. There are about 800 to 1000 to handle, and often occupies until eventide, when the boats row back. After unloading, the deck is piled high with the glittering mass of fish. To eviscerate this and stow it in the hold keeps them until midnight, when they snatch an hour or two of sleeves. Some can go without sleep for a week, others will rub wet tobacco in their eyes, so that the pain may keep them wakeful a few hours longer. Others, again, will work till they drop from sheer exhaustion, and sleep as they lie until aroused by comrades. A Chinese torture is to keep men without sleep, and "banking" does this to an extent to satisfy even the most exacting celestial. The men sleep in their underclothing; when they are weak, they are very much off the edge of the fish. For on the Banks it is rarely fine; mist and mork prevail, and the rigging and sails drip water always. Ernst von Leyden, one of Germany's best known medical authorities and author, April. He was the new head of the new military in Germany. He has been one of the leaders in the right against senator and tuberculosis, and it is largely due to his efforts that more than a hundred museums for consumptives have been built in Germany during the last decade.

London. - Permanent residents of London are suffering from the efforts being made by the city for the coronation. There is scarcely a street through which a man has pass but has been torn up. The private restaurants and public buildings are, for the most part, practically owned by decorators and artisans, with the smell of fresh paints, which is giving London its new coat for the new reign. The newspapers, both here and in America, are full of misstatements concerning the coronation processions, and as to what the hotels will charge visitors. Speculators and those having seats to sell are aware of the tremendous demand on the part of rich Americans and other foreigners, who are said to be paying any price asked in order to obtain the ceremonies as to the price of a certain window or seat in Pleadigh or elsewhere have been constantly published. To get acquainted with the Association of the Associated Press made a careful canvass, inquiring at various points along the route. He ascertained that seats in the building were representative of the Associated Press made a careful canvass, inquiring at various points along the route.

For the second day's procession along the Strand seats cost four guineas to seven guineas, and the prices are slightly higher. For the second day's procession along the Strand seats cost four guineas to seven guineas, and the prices are three to seven guineas. On the south side of the river the best seats cost five to seven guineas, and the prices are before long, as comparatively few seats have been taken. The river, however, is less encouraging for the intending visitors. The manager of the Cecil, Savoy and Barkley all said, yesterday that they did not expect the intending nation week. On the other hand the boarding houses are not keeping the market expected. The country preparations are rapidly nearing completion for every large and little city, town or village to celebrate its own heritage, being believed and ancient records and costumes long since out of use have been carefully searched. The parish, perhaps the poor parish being belighted. The residents of Parrington have supplemented the royal dinner to the poor of that section of London by arranging a Twenty-Two Thousand Children resident in that borough, and in many places of the British empire, are suffering to similarly entertain the poor of the vicinity of their country places. The pope has granted the ecclesiastical of the British empire a dispensation from abstinence on the Friday, June 27, (the day after the coronation), and also on Saturday, June 28, when he is sainthood's day, in order that they may participate in the national relicdings. Cardinal Taughan has been directed to preside over the sainthood's day, in order that they may participate in the national relicdings. The form of the coronation service, as finally amended and approved by the king, it consists of twenty-six distinct sections. The king and queen will enter the great hall and enter the anthem which a large, cannaped approach is already be erected. They will be met by the shouts of the king's choir of Westminster, an anthem known when They Said Unto Me. We Will Go to the House of the Lord." Instead of going direct to their thrones the royal rallr will know to the Private Prayer Then the archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Reverend Frederick Temple; the lord high clergyman, Earl Halsbury; the lord great chamberlain, the marquis of Cholmondeley, and the garter knight of arms, Sir Albert Woods, each in turn, will formally present the king, the lords carrying the regalla will step up and the dean of Westminster, the Very Reverend George Granville Bradley, will place the regalla on the altar. The abbreviated litany and part of the communion service will follow. Then the archbishops will recite the Nicene creed and the bishop of London, the Right Reverend Arthur Winnington-Ingraham, will preach a short sermon. Just before the sermon the king, who up to that stage of the ceremony will have been uncovered, will put on a cap of crimson, a vell, trimmed with ermine. Then comes the oath-taking, after which the king will be annorted. Then the shouts of the king's scholars of West-removed and four garter knights will hold over him a rich pall of silk and cloth of gold; the dean of Westminster will pour oil into a spoon and the archbishop of Canterbury will annont the king, making the sign of the cross on the top of his majesty's head, thus consecrating him "king over this people whom the Lord, your God, hath given you to rule and govern." The king will then kneel) and the dean of Westminster will invest him with The Super Tunica. Next will come the ceremonies which caused so much discussion, including the king's right hand, the standard and standards and then the orb will be placed in the king's right hand, he will be again enveloped in a purple robe of state and the schiapshole of Canterbury will have been placed in the lord of the manor of Workshop supports the sword right hand and a ring is placed in the left hand.

Doctor of trees is the latest official addition to the corps of large cities. Boston has engaged a tree doctor to feel the pulses of the elms on Boston streets. The consultant to help Jackson Park recover is lacking of world's fair; New York added one to its official roster when the rapid growth of the city with the boulevard trees, and Brooklyn is considering the advisability of offering a permanent position to a "tree doctor" at the health of the trees in Prospect Park. Most of the interest in city trees is directly due to the growing fashion for colour, fashion and estate. City man have learned to recognize good trees when they see them and to observe them closely enough to detect promptly any sign of touching, landscaping or who need to be scavenge, are now plentiful and able, and they have succeeded in educating such a considerable proportion of the general public that compliant is soon made if the trees of a city show symp toms or municipal neglect or in treatment. Indeed, since the days of Secretary of State John F. Kennedy, the term "bark day" there has been a regular campaign of education in favor of city trees. The direct effect of this work has been the creation of a "tree docto" is not necessarily a practical landscape architect or gardener, though he very often stands high in the park. The "tree docto" is not really successful men in this new occupation actually knew very little about trees until they were taught by experiencedateurs who became interested in the subject and took it up as an amusement.

Apple Trees for Beauty and Fruit. Apple trees are beautiful, even when bare of bloom and fruit. They should be grown in a place and laburnums. Tennyson speaks of or chard lawns, and there is no reason except bad taste why they should not have a real existence. The gloom of the first tree, magnificent no doubt in its own Northern forest, is mere incongruous dreariness when it is dotted about a suburban lawn. Nothing will thrive under it, and often it will not thrive itself, but the apple, with all the associated beauty or the countryside, gives us fruit and blossom and grateful shade. In the grass under it will grow daffodils, columns, irises and many other plants. Or it may be trained as a hedge to divide one part of the garden from another, and with all these uses may still produce great crops of fruit. It would be a pleasant task for the suburban gardener with his half-a-creed apple trees with the care that others give to roses. — London Speaker. PRESERVE OUR WILD FLOWERS The West Should Take Warning From the East Considering that the American people spend over $18,000,000 a year on roses, violets and other holistic products, raised by 8,000 florists-of this country, irrespective of the probably larger sums that are paid to seedmence and plant growers for public and private gardens, it is evident that an interest is felt in flowers. Whether it is interest or the lack of interest, the nature of the plant, the nature of the plant, ever they find them, is open to argument. A findness for these pretty nectaries that leads to the snipping of blossoms from the plant is comprehensible enough; but in their eagerness or indifference many tear the whole plant out of the earth. The result of this has been to almost exterminate certain of the wild flowers that used to make the upper end of Manhattan gay, and to make the upper end of Manhattan gay. Brooklyn. The Dutchman's breeches, that served as reminders of the original settlers' herabout, are now copiously absent; wild roses no longer perfume the stir; the indestructible daisy is paring under legal ban, along with the thistle; the buttercup has been plowed out and hacked and broken; even the dandelion has to lie low. Where flowers and flowers are cut, the flowers may glad, there now are barrenness and raged. These facts have prompted the Misses Phelps-Stokes to give $3,000 to the New York botanical garden for 4 investigation, and the preservation of native plants. The interest in this fund will be paid out in prizes for essays and studies relating to the subject, which shall be made to the mean, not merely herbaceous plants, but regard as to delivery, including trees. These essays are to be for 3,000 words long, and must naturally have some practical consequences. While this is very well, and will do its part in educating children about nature and its own advantages, and may restrain our barbarians in their practice of amusing, leaching and desecrating, and will protect them from enjoying at all, it would seem that our cultivation of wild flowers and the semination of their seed, bulbs or cuttings in such secluded areas would insure their survival in the natural biotic species is known. Seed thrown into soil to spring into plant and flower, and the arbuscular the lady's slipper and many other delightful flowers may be familiar one more.

I—I KHOK his appearance, but at the same time I am free to say that to my mind he must be a man, and cleared his throat, the young woman steadily regarding him. "He told me he had promised to remain in the employ of a year. A year, he supposed he will keep his word." "He always keeps his word." "Does he look for 'promotion'?" "Yes. He hopes to be made a starter at the school." "Yes. Well, as I have made up my mind that he is not the man for conduct, I mean to offer him something a little more special, his startership, how would barn boss or assistant superintendent gift him?" "The young woman smiled friendly." "There is no question about it," she said. "Perhaps he would like the superintendency" the old man added. "Would," murmured the young woman. "Very well," the gray hair-ridden man. "And me we will consider him successful in all these grades." He leaned a little forward. "The fact is," he slowly said, "I would make him secretary of the newly elected mayor." He will consider a very attractive salary. He paused and looked sharply at the young woman, who had turned her eyes on him. "How pretty, pretty carpet. "Are you laughing over there?" he asked. "No, she quickly answered. "I'm crying." Then she arose and crossed over to the old man and took his hand and bent down. "This is very, very good of you, Father Stephen Glazer," she softly said. "Pooh, pooh!" he cried. "And you know all the time, and yet had never seen me?" "I knew your voice the instant. "You are just like the voice of Georgia. " The old man looked anxiously toward the inner door. "Isn't that boy Stephen awake yet?" he asked. That evening George's smiling wife met George at the door, and put her arm down near a neck as she stopped him in the hallway. "Why, what is it, Mille?" "Why, what is it, pastor, dear." "Is it father?" She slipped away from him and opened the parlor door, and George looked in. The man was sitting on the cool chair in the dimly lit room, and on his knees, with his sunny head pillowed down, he sat the little boy. As the knelt boy placed on George's smiling face the old man held up his hand. "He was whipped," Stephen's sleepy." W. R. Rose, in Cleveland Plain Dealer. MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY. $2.40 PER YEAR. A Rapid Promotion THE day was one of October's rarest, the car windows were all open, and the draft, that carried no suggestion of coughs or colls with it, was car No. 381, on a main line, and the conductor was No. 382. He was a pleasant appearing conductor, 383, young and well built, with bright green hair, on back on his head in true boyish fashion. He was an alert conductor, toc, and he helped the old ladies and children aboard, he made the passengers sit closer, he kept a sharp supervision over all the doors. There was a tall man with gray hair and a white mustache on the back platform, a very well-dressed man, who was wearing a blue coat, who boarded the car while No. 381 was inside collecting fares, and, as this collecting process took some time, he made a grycky of the robed as the car rumbled along, as he looked over the platform rail when No. 381 tapped him lightly on the shoulder. "Pare, please," he said. The man slipped his fingers into his change pocket and drew out a half dollar. As he pushed it toward No. 381 he slightly turned his head. He couldn't repress a little start of surprise. "Hello, father," said No. 351, as he coin into the proper pocket. "Tickets?" No, replied the gray-hatched man with some sharpness. He stared hard at No. 351 as he counted out the change and then touched the older man. "Transfer?" No, replied the older man. "How many you, father?" No, "Well enough. How is it with you?" No, he looked at the older man and he looked a little wistfully at the gray-hated man. "I wouldn't mind shaking hands with you, father. It's four years," No, he looked at the older man. "The old man slowly put out his hand, and No. 351 gave it a warm pressure." No, he looked at the older man. "Husks, father?" Oh, I remember now. You allude to the unfortunate young man Sunday school lesson the young man wrote. Yes, yes. Yes, yes. But there have been no husks on my menu, father, and the end- ing of the day. He laughed as he said it, the porchers. No, I get three good meals a day, and carry home my $12 every Saturday night. He laughed as he said it, "But can't you get something better "Haven't tried. You see, this was the best I could do after being thrown out and broken by, by the burning of the bicycle he tethered to, the tie superintendent that I would stay in the employ of the road at least a year if they take me on, and just six months if they take me on, and change here for the Ellingwood belt line." The old man followed No. 381 with his keen eyes that were very much like a camera set, and a new light came into them. "You are married, George?" "I wrote you that I was, father." "There are two." "And I have a little boy, father, three years old. I wish you could see him. Why can't you see to the live at No. 37 Cornwall." "You can see to the live at this father." You'd be very welcome, this father." The face of the old man hardened, and he shook his head. "I have very little time," he said. "I am here on important business." He asked, "What time are you quietly 'You'll be welcome any time.' Then he added: "I take the down car here, Goodby." He leaped off, caught the rail of the approaching car, and was gone. Then he turned back, Somehow he seemed to have lost all interest in the condition of the roadbed. He stepped to the end of the life was reached, he stepped back, and about him. Then he walked over to the starter's little station. "He met me to No. 37 Cornwall street," he said. Ten minutes later the gray-haired man knocked at the door of the little cottage on Cornwall street. A neat young woman on her phone called, but the young woman bore a trim appearance, her hair was nicely arranged and there was an air of refinement in her greeting that the old man liked. "This is the home of No. 381, I be afraid I missed his hat—I mean of George Glazer." "Yes, sir, but he is not at home. He will not be at home until 6." He has come some distance to see him, said the gray-haired man. She looked at him with a new interest. He was an old man, and she fancied he to "Will you come in and rest?" she asked in her gentle voice. "Perhaps you can leave a message," she said, and followed her into the pleasant little parlor. His keen gray eyes traveled about the room and she saw the woman, "beg your patience," he said, so mind giving me a little of your time? She looked at him, wonderingly and then seated herself, "I can be really happy here," he said abruptly. She started at the suddenness of the remark. "do not know what you mean," she said. "I mean that this little house, this lonesome neighborhood, the lack of nice clothes, the fact that your husband is sick, the fact that you have those things that just a little money would secure, must make you discontented times. Her rose. She held her dimpled chin a little higher. "Do I look disconcerted?" she asked. "too much to be thankful for? We have to weave have a cozy home, we have little "Ench" cred the old man. "You have what?" "toy, our baby boy. His name is Stephen." "His name is Stephen," the old man repeated, and was silent for a moment. Then he gently added, "May I see him?" She replied, "I repile the older mother. They learn man a little severely. "I trust," she said, that you business with George is not difficult to think you will fail. We are both agreed that George isn't appreciated at his true worth-at least he have tried to make him a better man. "What could he expect? He came out of college without the slightest knowledge of me. He met me. Perhaps we were wrong, but we were young, and George braved his fear of a struggle, but we met something of a struggle, but we met it with courage, and we never despaired." She shewed a defiant little look at him. "I had no desire to hurt your pride," she had the gray-haired stranger. "If I could you, Lonely old men grow fancier I can explain a little of the business that brought me to your home. I have learned the controlling interest in the company that brought me to your husband. I have been looking over the property, and in doing so ran across him. HAVE YOU READ THE ARPEAL?

The national crime of lynching has increased to so great an extent that it is to be made the subject of Congressional inquiry. In the Senate the other day Mr. Gallinger, of New Hampshire, offered a resolution directing the Committee on the Judiciary to inquire into the subject of "lynching" in the United States and to report whether, under the laws and constitution of the country, there is any remedy for the evil He said that there was nothing further from his purpose than the desire to precipitate a sectional controversy. Lynchning was not by any means confined to the South. Several horrible cases had occurred in the North; and white men, as well as black, had been lynched. All over the land there was intense interest in the matter. Mr. Gallinger gave some statistics on the subject and then had the newspaper report read of the recent burning at the stake of the Afro-American, Dudley Morgan, in Texas. The Spanish Inquisition, Mr. Gallinger said, did not furnish a case exceeding that one in inhumanity. Fox's "Book of Martyrs" was tame in com- --- parison; and this had occurred not in interior Africa, nor in the islands of the sea, but in Christian America. The whole wretched business was a disgrace to American manhood, and in face of it the alleged atrocities in the Philippines paled into insignificance. He apprehended that it would be said that the federal government was powerless and that the state had exclusive jurisdiction over such offenses. If so, the American people would like to know it, so that public sentiment might be aroused and that such inhuman atrocities should come to an end and the majesty of the law be vindicated. It certainly makes all the difference in the world whose ox is gored. William Francis, of Marion, Ind., went to his home Sunday, and found two white men talking to his sister. Francis objected to their presence and ordered them to leave. They refused to do so, and Francis procured a revolver, which caused them to retreat. Francis fired two shots at them, which did not take effect. Richard Criswell, a neighbor, came running to the scene and was shot through the hand by Francis. Mrs. Sarah Francis, mother of the young man who was doing the shooting, attempted to take the weapon from her son and was shot in the left thigh. He was taken to jail and when arraigned the next morning on the charge of attempted murder pleaded guilty and was sent to the penitentiary to prevent further trouble. This is what happens to an Afro-American who attempts to protect his sister. Suppose the colors of the participants in this affair were changed, there would have been three Afro-American men lynched and the son and mother would have been lauded to the skies for their bravery. It's a poor rule that won't work both ways in cases like this. Representative Warnock, of Ohio, from the House Committee on Labor, reporting favorably the bill creating a commission to inquire into the condition of the Afro-American people of the United States, says, after reviewing the purposes of the bill: "It is painfully apparent that although nearly forty years have elapsed since the Afro-American race was given its freedom, and although it has lived in the United States during all this time side by side with the white race, that there is less of harmony between the races to-day than there was at the time the race was given its freedom." He adds that while the Afro-American can has made very great progress in many respects, yet it is true that great evils have crept into his social, economic and industrial life. The aim of the bill, according to the report, is to acquaint the Afro-American people, comprising, as they do, one-eighth of the population of the United States, with their true condition in this country, and to furnish information for the study of their sociological condition. The bill provides for a commission of five persons, to be appointed by the President, who shall each receive $3,500 per annum and an allowance for actual traveling expenses. Allowance also is made for the expenses of the commission, consisting of clerks, stenographers, rent, printing, &c., not exceeding $12,000 per annum. After thirty-five years Louisiana proposes to return to separate street cars for the races. The people who favor this claim that the Afro-American race is reverting to barbarian; that it is no longer safe to permit all Afro-Americans to enter cars in which there are ladies and children, and since it would be unsafe to intrust conductors with the right or duty of discriminating the taboo must be drawn against all. That's the brutal logic of the Southern—all Afro-Americans must suffer because a few of the race are disorderly. That is not the way to remedy the matter. If Afro-Americans do not behave themselves on the street cars let them be arrested and punished according to the law. Separating the races leaves the good and bad of each race together. This is wrong in principle and degrading in practice. The Afro-American people are as a rule law-abiding citizens, but the oppression and the humiliation they are forced to endure may in time cause a revolt and bloodshed which will make the French Revolution appear as child's play. The Afro-Americans are a long-suffering people, but the worm may turn. UP FROM SLAVERY Up From Slavery. By Booker T. Washington. $1.50. New York: Doubleday Page. C. Co.

Here is an incident for those who desire to study the race question—Washington Post. Caucasian-Americans have turned out by the thousands to honor Fitzsimmons, Sullivan and other Caucasian pugilists. We do not approve of prize fights, but if it is right for Caucasian plug-ups to honor their pugilistic heroes, the Afro-American riff-raff have the same right. BE SURE TO ATTEND. The meeting of the National Afro-American协会 at St. Paul, Minn., July 9-10, promises to be the largest yet held. All railroads in the United States have made a rate of one fare plus $2 for students in Educational Association which meets in Minneapolis during the same week, and persons wishing to attend the Council meeting can purchase tickets at Minneapolis and ride over to St. Paul on street car for 10 cents. There is no color line in St. Paul. Every hotel in the city will receive ADA accommodations may also be secured with private families at reasonable rates. An excellent programme has been prepared.

Whittle, Mrs. Shilma Yates, Archibishop Ireland, Scott, Hon. H. C. Summ, W. H. Pledge, John C. Dancy, C. J. Perry, and a host of other silver-tongued orators. CALL FOR MEETING Of National Afro-American Council, at St. Paul, Missouri, 10th and 11th, and 11th, 1902. To the members of the National Afro-American Council Delegates from Local Councils and Affiliated Organizations, such as Churches, Colleges, Be-nevolent Societies, Newspapers and other Recreation Organizations. Greeting: The Fifth Annual Session of the National Afro-American Council will be held in the State House at St. Paul, Minn., July 9th, 10th and 11th, 1902. It is our earnest desire that every Church, College, Benevolent Society and other Race Organization shall be represented. It is greatly desired that this annual meeting shall be the largest and most potent for good of any which the Council has ever held. The condition of the race's affairs makes this consummation mandatory. Our main reason for meeting at St. Paul, Minnesota, is to create more enthusiasm in the work of the Council in the West. We have just received notice from our Chief Counsel at Washington, D.C., A.A. Birney, Esq., who informs us that although subject to many delays and complications, arising from local and legal causes, the Louisiana test case is now in a fair way to reach final adjudication. There is urgent need for more money to carry on this legal contest, which we hope will be cheerfully contributed by the race. The many stirring questions of race interest which claim immediate attention should inspire every Afro-American Church, College, Benevolent Society and other Race Organization to send representatives accompanied by the annual tax of $5.00 to this great National gathering. We have every reason to believe that the meeting will be largely attended. BASIS OF MEMBERSHIP. (Article III of Constitution.) Section 1.

New York: Doubleday Press. "Up From Slavery" by Prof. Booker T. Washington is a remarkable volume by a research man. It is well illustrated. It is a dangerous enterprise at best, and should never be undertaken except by Prof. Washington be longs to the class of great men of our time, requires neither testimony nor proof, for it the baying, bounds, was fighting him, and he struck with man finding pleasure and recreation. In the outset and marshal torture of beasts, will depart. For nothing but aversion and excursion, the gimmes of forest, mountain stream and isolated den, where live stream and isolated den, where live river and isolated den, where live animal, be animals. In writing of the place and date of his birth he says: "I was born on a plantation in Franklin County, Virginia. I am not quite sure of the exact date of my birth, but at any rate I suspect I must have been born somewhere and at sometime. There is conscious humor in this sentence, a spice of art, and the delicate sarcasm of a great man, protesting against the instigation of slavery—that institution which had made it impossible, either for himself or Frederick Douglass to know the exact day of birth." Later on he says that he does not know who his father was—but that he knew that he was a white man. "My life had it's beginning in the midst of the most miserable, desolate, and discouraging surroundings." "I was born in a typical log cabin, about fourteen by sixteen feet square. In this cabin I lived with my mother and a brother and sister till after the Civil War, when we were all declared free." An account of his boyhood day—the struggle of his mother and elder brother, the first of his children, the first of his children, the first of a simple manner which forms the real charm of Mr. Washington's literary style—has a volume however so possesses as harm higher than any of the other orations of the preparatory and the upward tolling career of a youth who is a firm, a firm in the Hampton Industrial Institute, in search of an education with boundless hope and confidence. It is the only one of his own unknowns as his only assets. On this unknown, he divines the youthful enthusiast finally reached the digital, Richmond, where he arrived by the old life of his son. He was a living and a life of his life. He must have walked the streets till after midnight. At last I became so exhausted and so cold, and was so tired. I was hungry, and was every thing but I, reached extreme physical exhaustion, I reached upon action. I was the board side walk was considerably elevated. I waited for a few minutes till I was sure to see the sun and the sunset. I was under the sidewalk and lay for the night upon the ground. Mr. Washington then re-called the next day he went down to the road and was allowed to go to the captain of a ship, who was, unloading a cargo of pig iron that his work so pleased that he had to go to the ship at a number of days, sleeping under the sidewalks every night. Economizing in order to save more of the help than Hampton. He says that the man was not always without the city's assistance. He was tender a public reception by the citizens of Richmond in a church, not far from the same place. He had a good time of going around. That he has also at the invitation of friends been a guest in a Saratoga hotel, where he was formerly employed as a wait- He writes a very entertaining chapter on the race problem in a very comprehensive and practical manner the race-problem at the South. It is not only a very serious challenge, but early struggles that we find Mr. Washington at his best, and note distinctly that he has a great ability to understand the efforts of the man whom Walter Pierce pronounces, "the most useful man in the West." His pronouns, "the most useful man in the West," are from Up Slavery to have a large sale in the United States, and he is the world. The work has been translated into Spanish, French, English, Arabic, Indian and other languages. The work is also being prepared in other languages. The story of the life of the little slave boy, John Brown, is one of the most recognized the recognized leader of 10,000,000 of Afro-American people is a thrilling and inspiring story. Brown is in simple, modest style. It truly reveals the recognition worth of one of the greatest men the world has known. THE NEW-BORN CUBA. The New-born Cuba. By Franklin Matthew Martin.

New York: Doubleday, Page & Co. "In the Forest" is a contribution to the literature of our country of positive nature, and a celebration of wood-life, wherein the stately deer, the cunning coyote, the fierce, and the rugged man, not in the language of men, but in the significant speech of nature "in her nature," has made Mr. Foster has made a distinct depart- life. Mr. Foster has made a distinct depart- life, and unlike Kipling's "Jungle Stories," has animals simply in accord with the imperious law of nature, and do not talk. He plays upon your sympathies by eloquent powers of description and narration, and in the story of "Legs," the coyote transported from his western habitat to the east to furnish in the chase amusement and excitement to men and dogs, one's sympathy goes out spontaneously, only to this poor beast, struggling at times against hunger and trusting to his speed and cunning to save himself from being tornt to pieces by the murderous pack of hounds at his heels. Time after time he eluded his tormentors, but his inevitable finish had to arrive, and when it did we find ourselves wishing him better luck. "Speed was now his only hope." The climb to the hilltop was stiff, but it left the hounds behind. He took fresh hope, but shortlived indeed. They were on him anew. No use. He must turn and fight, and against what odds. Over the hill came the horsemen, thundering down the slope. "Legs" in the midst of the baying, hounds was, fighting but, the baying, And when the "pack buried him and the man, wonders when the brutality of man, man's pleasure and recreation in the torture of man, man's outcast and pariah, our sympathy, while his human tormentors merit The volume is profusely illustrated by Carl Rungus, and he has interpreted the aquatics with court striking and picturesque.

This is a Biblical story dealing with one of the most important events of Judah—the war between Hebekiah, the king, and Semnacherub, the terri-ral king. The story of Isaiah is one of the conspicuous figures. But the hero is a younger man, a poet, and a scholar. He is a favorite at court and a friend of the together a fine type of Jewish man. Sennacherib is envious of Judah's wealth and power, and is plotting against Hezekiah, using as tools the reactionary idol worshippers still strong in the Gapulion. Naphtis is enamored of one of the Assyrian conspirators of the marvelously beautiful woman who has been proscribed in Jerusalem for playing the part of Ashtoreth at an idolistic show. She politely blinds the Jewish noble to her real character, and is surprised while making love to her at a rendezvous, by one of his comrades, Talmon, a military officer, to whom Miraone's real nature and purpose have been revealed. As the Assyrian clowners have been very, this maiden has fallen in love with a tally, and tries to save him from impending disaster. Talmon is killed in the struggle which ensues, and Miraone is saved from captivity. Naphtia is blind in the truth, because her his house is on the other side.

Price, $0.00. This admirable little book handles a difficult subject in a difficult way. It is scientific, but can be understood by a standard of a very simple story. For purity, clearness and intensity is a without a rival in literature of its class. There is universal need for a book of this kind, and it should be read not only by the book but by others, man, preacher, mother, and especially by every one. In the country, to what extent and in what way teachers of the public school should impart information upon this subject depends upon the fact of the teacher and the conditions in the community but that every teacher should be intelligent upon this subject of personal purity for boys and girls there can be but one option: a book has been read, and is recommended to the right class.

Lickmore, and many other equally prominent teachers and are we desire to add our heartiest editorial approval and commendation. DOROTHY SOUTH Dorothy South By George Cary Eggleston $1.50. Boston: Lothrop Publishing Co. Mr. Eggleston deals in this book with the Virginians of the great plantations during the decade before the civil war, when not to be a Virginian was deemed by them a misfortune, if not a sin of omission. They looked upon their countrymen from the state of much as the Greeks looked upon foreigners they considered them "barbarians." Mr. Eggleston tells us at least for the purposes of his novel, which mingles a simple, most readable love story of a series of pictures of the life and the time and the place that are full of grace. The Negro characters in the book, they are all slaves, were well treated by their masters and yell cared for because they were very valuable property. Mr. Eggleston's hero is at first something of a prig, and some human very rapidly after circumstances has led him into the current of the plot. There is no dreamed here, even though the war fills the closing chapters of the book, which is mainly a picture of the peaceful, cultured, conservative, old-fashioned south of the past.

EDUCATIONAL MEETING Largely Attended Meeting at Pilgrim Baptist Church. There was a very largely attended meeting at Pilgrim Baptist Church, Thursday night, in the interest of education of the Afro-American in the South. After a song, "Stand Up for Africa," she addressed the Prof. J. A. Booker, president of Arkansas Baptist College, Little Rock Ark., was introduced, and spoke most eloquently and entertainingly on "The Educational Policy of Afro-American Schools at the South." He was jokingly asked to explain the president of Western College, Macon, Mo., who told of "The Relation of the Northern Afro-American to the Southern Schools." Madam Preston then, in her inimitable way, most pleasently read a number of Paul Lawrence Dunbar's works, including "The Influence of Mexico, spoke of "The Influence of these Schools upon the Religious Life of the Afro-American." Mrs. George Griggs was the next speaker, and she had no special topic. Her remarks were most timely and beneficial. The speaker was a woman, the speakers was our own F. L. McGhee, who made one of his impassioned appeals as only he can. The result was that about $34 was raised in a few moments to be divided between the two schools in question. All the speeches were excellent, and the meetup was a great success, engaging and beneficial our city has known for a long time. TWELTH NIGHT. At the Grand Opera House, St. Paul. "Twelfth Night" has been selected as the second offering of the summer season of the Percy Haswell Stock Company at the Grand Opera House. This is one of Shakespeare's most popular books, most been popular in the Shakespearean repertory. Miss Haswell will appear as Viola, a part in which many eminent actresses have added to their laurels. The story of "The Twelfth Night" is the story of a maiden being ing in all the plays of the great hard. The play treats of the device of a shipwrecked maiden to escape scrutiny in a strange land, by assuming the clothes of her brother, whom she has been married to. The maiden is Viola, and in the guise of a boy, she becomes a page of the Duke Orsino. He is in love with the lady Olivia, who will have none of him, and when the Duke in despair sends the pretty page boy to carry his love to the maiden, the beauty falls in love with the messenger instead of with the master. The love scenes in which Olivia seeks to woo Viola are exquisitely delicate and humorous. Then the shipwrecked maiden starts resemblance to Viola, the Lady Olivia thinks he is the same, and straightway marries him. By the time she discovers her mistake, the Duke has found that the pretty page boy is in love with her heart, and all ends happily. Miss Haswell will be Viola. Mr. Glimore will play the role of Benvola. Mr. Lewis will be the Duke.

The liar whom the editor hates worst of all is the man, who when dunned for a yea., subscription, says he only received two or three copies and refused to pay.—Clarksville Graphic. Next to, not above this man, the editor hates a liar who takes the paper seven or eight years, and when he cornered for settlement, says he never the paper at all.—Pike County Post. But the worst liar of the whole outfit is the man who takes the paper several years, then moves away without it, and then asks anything about it, and yet says he is an honest man—Elsbury Advance. Brethren, you all fall short of the truth. The biggest liar in the lot is the editor who publishes the obituary and inscribes lirs and intimates that they have to heaven—Plymouth Independent. Rich and Industrial Woman. Mrs. Emma, E. Forsythe, whose father was an American citizen and whose mother was the daughter of a Samaan chief, is believed to be the richest woman of all living in the South Pacific islands. Her father was American consul in Samao many years ago, and she was born there. At the age of 18, having been well educated, she married an Englishman, who soon died, leaving her a third wife thirty years ago. Mrs. Forsythe began trading in different parts of the south seas and made money fast. She now lives on the island of Neu Pommern, one of the Bismarck archipelago owned by Germany, where she has a plantation of 120,000 acres, with fifty European employees and hundreds of natives. Other lands on the islands, owned by Mrs. Forsythe, who is a very rich woman thoroughly contented to live in her beautiful island home. His Opinion of Dr. Hale. The Rev, Edward Everett Hale, who recently celebrated his eighteenth birthday, has a fund of humor on which he draws during his few moments of ease. A little while ago, while riding in a railroad train to a point distant from Boston, he was approached by the train news agent, who laid several books and magazines in the seat beside him. The old gentleman paid no attention to them, and the agent, probably knowing that he wanted some better, prettier, protected kind of his own works. Dr. Hale, assuming a grumness he did not feel, said: "I don't want it; it's trash." The news agent looked at him for a moment disgustedly and blurted out: "I guess you are a little too ignorant to appreciate a good book."—New York Times. Loyal to America. It is interesting to find how anxious the children of foreign parenage are to become true Americans and resent any inference to the contrary. This was practically illustrated not long ago in the Hancock school at the North End in Boston, where almost 98 per cent of the children are of foreign birth or parentage. Mrs. Mary A. Livermore was once a pupil of the Hancock school, in the North End. After the annual alumni banquet old pupils visit the school and addresses are made. As Mrs. Livermore rose to speak, not long ago, she addressed the girls as "my little foreign sisters," when a small Italian girl sprang to her feet and said, "O lady, weaint foreigners now, we are Americans." Mrs. Livermore was intensely with the answer. THE ST. PAUL DAILY NEWS Every day in the year except Sunday for per year... $1.00 Outside the City of St. Paul.

Atlanta, Ga.—The Afro-American young people's Christian and educational congress, a movement to urge aggressive Christian and educational work among the Negro young people throughout the United States, which will meet in Atlanta, Ga., August 6-11, will be the first event in the history of the Afro-American when all agencies and denominations have united in one effort for the promotion of learning among Afro-Americans. The denominations and their several boards with the agencies at work among the Afro-Americans, have each a representative upon the board of directors; the board of directors consisting of 100 members. The congress will be session 1, 1000 delegates expected to be present. Two thousand commissioners have been appointed to assist, in the work of all churches and religious societies as well as institutions of learning represented at this congress. The railroads have granted a one-fare for the round trip.

Church organizations are also asked to hold special exercises. `<CONTINENTALS>' NEW RECORD. C lips two minutes Between. St. Louis and New York. The Wabash "Continental Limited" made a new record Thursday night between Decatur and St. Louis, cutting two minutes off the best previous record. Engineer Braddock, with No. 607, a new high-speed engine, made the 105 miles from Decatur to Granite City in 101 minutes. A five-minute stop was taken. The child, making the actual running time minutes, averaged of 65.4 miles for the whole distance. Best previous time was ninety-eight minutes. From Staunton to Carpenter, 10.2 miles, the time was seven minutes, or at the rate of 87.42 miles an hour. The forty-seven miles from Boody to Honey Bend were made in forty minutes—70.5 miles an hour. The train departed from Decatur an hour before the forty minutes late, and had beside the train the moment, President Ramsey's private vehicle, Wabash officials say that the new engines will make a hundred miles an hour before the summer is over—St. Louis Republic, April 11th, 1902.

Why is it that Oliver Elsworth has received so little attention from biographers and historians? asks Frank Gaylord Cook in the April Atlantic. He was not born in Massachusetts or Virginia, in Connecticut, like Pennsylvania, the historic field has been meagerly tilled. Moreover, the dramatic and opportune quality of his work has been perceived only through the perspective of subsequent years. To negotiate an unpopular convention for a party just retiring from office in defeat and ignominy is not conducive to immediate fame. Nevertheless he has not been wholly overlooked by subsequent statesmen. Webster said of him: "For strength of wisdom, for sagacity, wisdom and sound good sense in the conduct of affairs, for moderation of temper, and general ability, it may be doubted if New England has yet produced his superior." What he said, as chief justice of the United States, to the g and jury at Savannah, in 1796, was the aim of his life: "So let us rear an empire sacred to the rights of men; and I commend a government of reason to the nations of the earth." PROFESSOR LEARNED HER NAME But the Answer Was Not Exactly What He Expected. An instructor in English in the Sheffield Scientific school tells the following story at the expense of a professor at Yale. The incident happened at a faculty tea, where Prof. Blank was adoring the occasion in his usual irresistible way. The professor, it is claimed, does not realize just how effective his charming talk and romantic eyes are. In the course of the afternoon he was introduced to an especially attractive young woman, whose name, being mumbled in the presentation, he did not catch. The two repaired to a sofa, where Prof. Blank was so thoroughly pleased with his new acquaintance that he determined to find out to whom he was talking. "You must forgive me," he began, tactfully, "but I am going to ask you a personal question. Please do tell me what your name is." The young woman looked at him with large, timid eyes a moment, and then whispered sweetly, "Ethel." Theology and Truth. Theology changes do not affect divine truth any more than the books of books affect the shape of the earth—Rana's Horn.
