SWINDLE IN MAILS SOME OF THE METHODS THE ARE EMPLOYED IN CROOKED SCHEDULE VICTIMS IN RURAL DISTRICTS Postoffice Inspector Tells of the Way in Which the Creditors Are Played Upon-Basis for the Unwary-How the Operations Are Conducted. "By an indirect means conducted by the public the opportunities for swindling and defrauding the people, especially those residing in the rural districts, by the theft of the money been greatly reduced," an old pensioner said to a Star representative today, "by the exclusion of alleged newspapers and perilous second-class mails at the pound rate, as second-class mails at the pound rate, can never be entirely wiped out, but by checking the mediums for the circulation of their statements they may be somewhat curtailed. "As some of these advertisements are not received in family newspapers of our time, the Star will find one or two intermediaries who have selected if decided novelty, and who will no doubt wonder why it is that someone will not trap into which they are expected to remember a family venerated. When it is remembered, the assistant attorner, general, through the assistant attorner, required eighty-three francklentmen to show cause why they should not have last year, and that sixty-two francklentmen against persons or concerns operating in fraudulent purposes, some idea of the magnitude of the business may be obtained." How They Operate to Defraud. “Hundreds of the fraudulent persons and concerns used these sheets as a means of getting their schemes directly into the people. Several of the latter instances of guilling the public is, and, in this connection, it will prove interest to note how the promoters of the techno-law of the country in human nature that there are myriads of people who entertain the belief that they enter than their neighbors and that they can beat the game.” But they fall down. This upsets one popular theory as to swine and the other, which includes gold brick and counterfeit money frauds. The "innocent farmer" so often alluded to in his press dispatches is not such at all, but is made up of the same power to a farmer, living in a rural community, whose dishonest traits and self-believed shornness make them much a party to the purchase of the supposed counterfeit bills to the end that he may pass them off to the advantage upon its resulting goals. In the case of the innoceant "come-on" is therefore as much as a swindler as are the men in the cities where he is less than one of the green goods. This is one reason why come-on, who may have been robbed of their own money in exchange for rolls of sheep and meats, requires a path from either the public or police. And only in less degree do the persons who are the people of the country become the people of the business prey upon people's hungry capacity; their desire to get something of the money is being used to the other hand, as to the smartness, and, on the other hand, as to the innoce, ingenuousness and an honest effort to living or additional spending more. "These operators secure the names and addresses of persons by various methods and are able to receive a letter like the following list amply appended in the waste basket. This swimsuit appends a dodge, for many of us are weak on that point. This letter is sent to lions principally.

Your name appended to music site, elegantly gotten up. Most respectfully, 'SLAP-DASH MUSIC CO.' "Of course the above name is given for the sake of illustration. The recipient of the letter is at once and she sends the remittance which may be named in the letter, say 'dedicated' stamped on its face, and is attached to her by the unknown friend, as it certainly is a surprise. She experiences a cheap piece of music with the word 'dedicated' stamped on its face, and is same piece of music is thus 'dedicated' to all who will bite at the hook.

The advertisements will be posted on the website and as an institution of high standing: the is to extract dollars from the public. The "Cherry Tree Trick?" "What we call the 'cherry tree trick' is an instance where people who really wish work are imposed upon without mercy. A concern will advertise largely that it has 'easy' and congenial work to do at home, for which it will pay its patrons a salary of $20 per week." This work should never be undertaken, as it is a fraud. The farmer's daughter, or the factory girl, or men wish this work, may be reply to the advertisement, received, and received, and have to be sent to the write letters to their friends and friends, and they have the work to do, but they find they must also become patrons of the kind, philanthropic firm, and send $5 or $10 to purchase some cherry trees or apples trees, or some kind of nursery stock. So tempting is the belt of a weekly salary to merely write about the work they are supposed to be doing—describing the beautiful trees of the firm, or the won-do in unqualities some alleged magazine, that many sands of patrons are in the land readily send in their hard-earned money to become 'patrons,' receiving back a few worthless shoots of cherry trees, or the magazine for 'one whole year.' A fraudulent concern of this kind can clean up from $10,000 to $100,000 in a few months, and by the time the post-office authorities get after them will have moved to another town, and, under a name begun the operation all over the country, being upon the faithful adag- that "a new crop of fools is born every minute." “In reply to the indignant letters from the swindled as to why the promised salary is not forthcoming, the firm resorts to all kinds of excuses as to why they do not pay it. In some instances, they were actually pay for a short time without a full notice to the postman. In case of arrest to assert that they fulfilled their contract. You see, these men know that the issuing of a fraud order stopping their mail cannot be secured in a day, and a warrant for an arrest, as the department must have in its possession a contract and satisfactory evidence of the fact before the date of the contract. Knowing that their business can be attacked effectively only in this way, these men become bold, retain counsel, secure delays, fighting the case often to the end, as in the meantime the mails are pouring remittances from all over the country, and will continue to do so just so long as the fraud order is not issued. Other Tricks of the Trade of Fraud. “The 'dot' counting and the 'easy puzzle contests' appeal to those who think they can beat the game, and these smart folks are, of course, beaten in the end.” “The 'dot' counting is usually a money prize to be awarded to the best, and the recently counting the number of black dots in the circle, or 'who correctly solve the puzzle, both of which are so easy that the people fall over themselves in sending in correct answers. These poor, deluded people wonder in their own hearts that they would be able to pay for a money throw away their money in so reckless a fashion, and they anxiously await a reply to their letters.” "And now to find the little joker, as he is in this fraud, too. They omitted to note in the advertisement, or noting it attached no importance to a very fine line of type which read in effect that all contestees shall be members of the firm's club of eligibles," and they are chagrined to learn later that to be such a member they must buy a particular article the firm sells, perhaps only at 50 cents or $1; and they also omitted to notice a line of fine type which read that in "the event of two or more persons correctly guessing the solution the prize shall be proportionately divided among the winners." Every contestee is notified that he "correctly guessed the answer, and, after getting their money, the prize they may receive will be a 1-cent postage stamp or a penny, that being their "quota" of the price as "proportionately divided." "About the hardest instances of fraud the department has to reach with a fraud order are the 'home knitting machine,' the 'home embroidery making' and the 'home work' schemes. Understand, there are millions of women living in small towns and on far-out to real home employment would be a verita, ble godsend. It is these millions of women that these firms seek and succeed in reaching. The words 'profitable, steady, easy, home employment at good wages' are very alluring. The nature of the employment is usually only hinted at or not to the처벌. The victims find that they may be the particular knitting, crocheting or embroidery machines or 'outfits' the firm makes, which are sold at several times their actual value. The would-be working woman at home responds and sends her money. If she succeeds in 'making' any of the articles and sends them to the firm in the belief that they will be 'purchased' she finds them promptly retiring with a letter saying that they are 'unscrewed' in a 'fictitious' way and 'undetective' in a 'fictitious' way. Perhaps these deceived women will, attempt this hide-and-seek game with the alleged firm a dozen times before they really learn that there is no intention of buying her product. Sometimes out of thousands of cases a few cents worth of goods will be 'purchased' by the same reason as in the other cases, to give them a show to stand upon while they are fighting the case.

They drink clear springs or well water. Croton water carries in solution a large quantity of sand, an utterly indigestible silica, which undoubtedly lodges in the vermiform appendage. It is all very well for a chicken to have sand in its gizzard, because such sand is its knife and fork, but a man has no business with sand in his appendix.

Yet by rights the wild oyster—for all his outward plainness—is the most picture-equally behaved of all the mon- sters of the deep. Not from the chafing-dish standpoint alone, is he a thing of interest and a joy forever. His career reads like a stirring romance. Of all wild oysters (I scorn the tame ones, artificially bred) the most picturesque is the American. Challenge, if you will, the imputation of nationality to shellfish; the American oyster is none the less the personification of Yankee Dodgeism. His declaration of independence is made as scon as I d almost said before—he is born. The effective European oystering has qoddled within the mantle of its mother until it is of visible size, and can sport a rudimentary shell of its own. But the American, mark you, deerts its happy home for open ocean while it is yet not so mu, as a finished egg, a mere unfertilized possibility of an oyster. Fate willing, it meets in the sea the vitalizing principle, and develops with startling rapidity into a dancing slime drop, with distinct views of its own. But fate oftenest turns down her inexorable thumb, and the rash eggiet causes to be a possibility at all. Were it not for this wasteful provision of nature, in a few seasons the wet sea would become as the dry land. For as the ordinarily provident oyster parent presents the world yearly with some 10,000,000 eggs, the best of them achieving a record of 60,000,000, it takes but a little niguring to show that if all the offspring survived, the fourth generation of oysters would brim the ocean beds full. To avert this calamity nature makes life lively and strenuous for the year. POLITICAL STUNT: THE CROSS COU oyster, most friendless or all the youngsters of the earth, he is an infant lash-strike through the skull. Sudden chill strike through the heart. He threaten his tender life. A cold rainads thousands of luckless oyster babies to an adult with the same heart to devour him, any big, the tail sailing careless, open-mawed, may gulp down milch with the aid of a knife and then gourd him. His own mother, who is after all all much more than a superior sort of sieve for his own flesh, swallow him in spite incontently. swallow him in some her way. A hapless atom, he. The oyster muffling whisks his way bravely through this sea of troubles. He is now a little two-walled vase of silme, with an exciting stomach, and a little turt of hair-cars to drive him through the water. The wonder is that the undirected young thing knows what to make of himself at all. Scientists are hard put to it to discover where he differs from any one of a half dozen other sea babies. Nor can their strongest microscopes search out any reason why he should not inadvertently grow up a star-fish. But he makes no mistake. He gets him organs proper to a well-bred oyster and builds him a little protecting shell as fast as ever he can. Spared to days of discretion, he prepares to settle down in life. And here a fresh danger besets him. The choice of a bed is a life and death affair. For even now he is but one five-hundredth of an inch in diameter, and rather thinner than a sheet of paper. The merest film of silme upon the shell he fastens to is enough to asphyxiate him, and smut out his little vital spark. And clean surfaces are by no means common in the brackish waters of bay and river mountains. Oyster infants by myriads are smoothed in their beds each year. This final peril of his free-swimming youth evaded, a clean foundation secured, the sea, and the land. He placed position and hardens his shell. But not in unmolested peace. As a delicacy he is much appreciated by the larger sort of fishermen upon his juicy little body. His only protection lies in formidable armor. Upon the native oyster bed, where lime was grown, he had for the taking, and adds layer to layer for dear life. But even inside crusted walls of time he is not safe. The starfish, that fahby he called "devil's fingers," has a pull whistle. It devil's bodys. It wires its wrist.

Barnacles grow on the oyster shell, age young oysters, plant themselves upon his shell and smother him ben-hath them. Altogether, statisticians may, be it, upon a ship of 1,140,000 of rearing a tipe old age. The term "olly oyster man" is a ludicrous mifft. Go down to Maryland or Virginia, where the oysters are the thickest, the oyster packer the gettier, and the hospitals; ask the oystermen themselves, whether oyster fishing is a jolly life, and whether oyster dredging is a vicious chorus of woe. Oyster dredging is wretched business man can put his hand to. The life has all the hardships and none of the romance of the sailor's, and none of the romance of the strain all day at a windlass in the teeth of a winter gale, buffeted by cruel gusts of spray; to bend over heaps of rough shells from among tangleed refuse and shells under legal age; to eat the coarest of quarter-these things do not deal with wizzy shells. Moreover, accidents are all in the day's work. A fouled dredge means a run-in with closest of quarters—these shells dealing wilted blows with its whizzing corks with ice decks. And the handling of the shells, drapping with bitter brine, proclaims a peculiarly painful, poisoned wound. Fearful cases of "oyster-shell hand" together with pneumonia and pleurisy and rheumatism, brought on by exposure, marine hospitals near oyster ports busy. As if this were not bad enough, the hardships of the work insure the marking of the dredging boats with the offencing of the earth. Only a wretch at sea can do this, and a dredge captain. Hard put to his boat, the captain enters into unhole CANNOT BE THE NUMBER WELL CAN BE SEEN IN THE LIBRARY ENTRY KNOCKER. compact with a rummy shipping master, who sends him immigrants just caught, and quite in the dark as to the watchers, who warn for which they are promised "b big wages" this almost shanghaised crew, the captain dare not carry his first catch—made in from one to four weeks—to port for fear of being swamped instead to a "b buy船," swinging with a masthead near the oyster feet. So he keeps his semi-multitude crowd down the bay for two or three at a time, with complaints of ill-treatment are sommons. It is consoling to find that tonging oysters is by no means so doleful a pursuit. Down on the Eastern shore of Maryland, you see one fleet of tongers at work, the white sails of their little canoes dotting the blue of the water. With a huge net, sheers with shafts anywhere from fifteen to thirty feet long, with a pair of slant-toothed rakes interlocked at the nipples and rattles rubbish from the river bed dumping it into the boat. The cull-bowmer m the stern, sors over the mans and throws back the trusses the infant has built. This sort of thing doesn't bring conspicuous wealth to the tongers. But it is one. You may long to altogether an uneasy one. You may long to be the natural has not made you industrious, you live from oyster-bed to mouth, feeding your family on clams and other see bony and tonging in earnest only once a week. You own your own little home on God's blessed earth and be your own master. Your oyster grown, and dredged or tonged, there follows the opening of the oyster shell. That is nowhere better to be seen than in Baltimore, where an astounding proportion of the oysters of the globe-a fifth if 1 be not mistaken—is handled. Long before you get to the shucking district the oyster begins to make himself conspicuous. Signs offering "Raw Box" and "Extra Selects" and "Oysters in Every Style" speckle the entire route. You alight in a wilderness of oyster shells, swept by keen winds. There is a clean salt smell, a clean, ropy smell, a smell of sweet marsh plants.

Before you lie a row red factory, and beside it another, crusted to the roofs with lime, dead white, and belching thick white smoke from a towering chimney. It is a typical packing plant. Through a cloud of low-blown steam heavy with a smothering odor like burning bone, you make your way into the place. From the unloading of living shells from transportation boats at the wharf, to the capping of the last can, you may follow the whole process. Hauled in great bucketfuls from the hold, all dripping with their native silme, the oysters are wheeled in barrows into the shucking shed. Following them, you find yourself in a long low room, dark as a pocket, chill as a tomb, but ringling with the incessant click of wooden hammers, and the click of falling shells. Running the length of the shed, two high desks, or forms, partitioned lengthwise, give working room for four long rows of "hands." A rough little wooden pulpit rakes each shucker-black, and white women work side by side in the sheds above the cold and reeking silme of the floors. They serve, too, a more practical purpose. A rapid shucker would soon bury himself waist high in empty shells, were they not continually shovelled out. The pulpit guards his feet from the keen edge of the shovel. Step near, and see what shucking is. It is a wooden block with a shell blade fixed upright in it. Resting the ripping edge of a shucked blade, the shucker strikes the knife with a quick cut, cutting it clean through. A broad-bladed knife is thrust into the gap; one wrench grips the wrist parts the valves; one scoon of the knife, the other long before the breath is out of the body.

Follow a filled bucket to the next step in the process. Passed through a slide in the pool, the bucket is floured into a slanting sink where a hose is turned on them, and then they are drawn off by the submerged to be measured bucketful and finishes with a hirth slot against an open-mesh screen, set at an angle of forty-five degrees. Down they are drawn off by the submerged to be measured drains frankly through to the swimming floor, and the oysters, five gallons at a time, are drawn off to be packed in slanted yellow filters to prepare them for their journey West. They are sometimes a week en route, and then they are prepared for the raw processing. It not be tiring—few edibles are seen, en masse but it is strictly cleanly. One would prefer to be in the pool, and the raw processing went West in their own private shells. Fortune favoring, you happen on a scanning day at the packing house. It is not hard to find, and cheap that they go into cans. In bitter cold weather, when the fishing stops and the raw demand is all that can be supplied. Steaming is a swift process.

For some fifteen minutes the doors are closed and the door comes open every individual. When the door comes open every individual it is open, too, gaping vacuously. Run swiftly into the shudging shell, the car is held in a crowd of shuckers, who hang their hands over the sides, and, regardless of hot shells, slip the steam meats loose in a twinkling.

A long line of darkes with laden darkes, piled down the steep side at the wharf to the top of the mount, where they let their loads slip, tibbling darkes, piled down the steep side. Other darkes, powdered in their very brass, disappears with loads of dried shell into the thick limedoil within the facade that issues a noisy sound of grindle. You stop a foreman to ask whatever they do with so many shells. He is an oyster foreman. He tells you that up to a dozen shells are needed with the oyster shell was one of the problems of the trade. Something like twelve million tons of shell must have been placed on a stone, since the oyster business began to flourish, which was within the past century. Ten years ago they gave away their shells now it is a lucrative by-product of the canneries. They don't make shell enough themselves to supply the demand for shell products. Ground up into chicken feed and fertilizer, or into lime for glass works and gas works, and for road-beda, oyster shell is used to make the shells more feculent on the machinery, the lime factory might be the most profitable part of a cannery. The foreman the foreman into the factory, dim with dense white dust, and expect to live in such an atmosphere. The foreman how long a man may be expected to live in such an atmosphere. The foreman some, the shell milk is a sanitarium for consumptives. Shall we hereafter hear more of the lime cure for tuberculosis? Nature and man, collaborating against the inoffensive oyster, have at last roused that mild-tempered mollusk to retaliation. He retaliates by quietly dying off. The natural oyster beds of Europe are already exhausted; those of Connecticut, New York, New Jersey and Delaware are so depleted as practically to be fished out. Even that apparently inexhaustible store in the Cheesapeake begins to show marked symptoms of decline. Over-fishing is killing the goose that laid the golden egg. There are two horns to this dilemma. You may, like Rhode Island and Connecticut and New York, proceed to incubate a new goose, substituting for natural beds carefully sown and tended oyster farms.

DEVELOPMENT IN AMERICA DISCUSSED BY CHICAGO'S CHIEF OF POLICE. SOME PROMINENT LEADERS. Review of the Haymarket Square Event—System in Vogue for Keeping Anarchists Under Surveillance — Teachings of Emma Goldman. At the meeting of the police chiefs in annual annual meeting of the Louisville, KY. Chief O'Neill of the Chicago Police read an interesting paper on the subject on anarchy and anarchists. His paper "Anarchy is a subject that has attracted the attention of deep thinkers for the century. It has had able, although illogical, teachings and teachings have led their deluded and misunderstood assassination not a few rulers and other persons in high stations yet, so far as I am aware, an anarchistic state than it was of Eskunin, Froudon and Marx, who volumes have been written on the subject, be presumptions on my part to attempt anarchy, and for that reason I wish anarchy; and for that reason I wish not a history, but a brief synopsis of the history of bers of this convention, I believe, do not care to listen to historical details confined to the subject, and I will, therefore, to be as the scope of the subject as permit. After a review of European anarchy, Chier O'Neill said: The railroad strikes or riots in Pittsburgh many deeds of violence, riot and bloodshed in the city, and members of the international society. A good-sized group of the society existed in the city that made up the labor force, seized upon the opportunity to widen their ranks, and hired a man, Men of foreign birth, employed in factories, who had therefore been hired to join the society. The pretext that it was a labor organization was resorted to. Leaders of the ackee inflammatory speeches at meetings that were intended to inform the minds of the weaker ones to an open defiance of the law. These leaders were men who were looking for something to work-minded tool to take the initiative in the city. "At first the authorities of Chicago paid little or no attention to the vaporization along smoothly until what was known as the Black Road Riots," which occurred in 1887. "They struck a show at the amarchistic movement, which had assumed larger proportions to strike a show at the amarchistic theorists had supposed. There were several days of rioting in which the strikers, were clubbed and shot down by the police. cannot undertake to recite in detail the 4, 188, when the bomb was thrown in the 4, 188, when the bomb was thrown in the Square, to the police at the Haymarket known to all of you. The explosion creat- tion was immediately followed by a volley from the mab on the sidewalk and in the street against the latter. One police officer, instantly killed and sixty-seven others were killed, and the explosion as a result of their wounds. Everybody in the vicinity of the explosion was injured and stuff they were made. The fusion that followed the Chicago police officer stuff they were made. Every man who wished to be killed volver did so and used it, standing, kneel- ing, and wounded anarchists of the number of killed and wounded anarchists of this fusilade was never known. It is known that their fatalities were in excess of the police. The leading instigators of the massacre were soon tried and convicted, four of them, explaining their crime on the gallows; one of them committed suicide in his cell; while three others were sent to the penitentiary, two being for life. Those confined in the penitentiary were later pardoned, since which time they have shown no disposition to identify themselves with anarchy or anarchists. One of them is at present conducting a saloon in Chicago in a manner unobjectionable to the authorities. There are still in Chicago a large number of anarchists, but they are no longer desiant. They have been made to feel the effectiveness of the law when the community is aroused, and to all outward appearances, fear the law, if they do not respect it. They no longer indulge in incendiary talk calculated to incite acts of violence. Close surveillance is kept on the leaders by the police in Chicago, and they cannot make a move of any importance that is not known to the authorities in a short time. "By way of illustration I will cite the arrest of Emma Goldman, the high priestess of anarchy, who was arrested in Chicago three days after the assassination of President McKinley. She contrived to leave Buffalo a few hours after the assassination, unobserved by the police of that city. After a few stops on the way she reached St. Louis, etc. Her arrival there was immediately known to the police department of Chicago, through certain lines of information always maintained. So her departure from the "bridge city," which is Chicago as her objective point. So perfect as her disguise that she actually passed out of the way station in Chicago unsuspected by the officers who were specially detailed to apprehend her and who were armed with a photograph and perfect description of her. She contrived to reach crustwenty friends far remote from the heart of the city and was engaged in making arrangements to depart for Canada when arrested by officers connected with the general superintendent's office. Dr. Saylin, a Russian nihilist, her disciple and admirer, who left Buffalo in haste a few hours after the assassination, was promptly taken to the city in Chicago while on his way to Colorado. At another seven days in Chicago, an officer of the Chicago police, with a view of establishing some relation between them and Czolgosz, the assassin, so much for Chicago's ability to keep a line on persons of this class "In this connection I will say that I regard Emma Goldman as one of the most dangerous apostles of anarchy in America. She is a persuasive, most magnetic talker, and Człogosz, who admitted having heard her speak, was not doubt influenced and inspired to do something out of the ordinary in order to be regarded as a hero by his fellow anarchists. Seeking the opportunity, he found it and shocked the world by the assassination of President McKinley. "The arrival of a prince or potentate from any part of Europe to this country is a matter of the gravest concern and anxiety to the chiefs of police into whose jurisdiction such visitor may decide to come. On the occasion of the recent visit of Prince Henry to this country great precautions for his safety were taken, mainly because of the avowed hostility of several men of action among the anarchists in Chicago and vicinity. In one case an Italian was at war with a reported beeching at a target in his basement two days before Prince Henry's arrival. As a result he was kept under constant surveillance, as well as a number of others who were suspected of the primary intentions. Fortunately everything was not quietly, and whatever alarm had been excited was allayed only by his departure, uninjured and unmolested." "In Europe there is great danger from the invaders of this country. America with its free institutions and free government, is not a ferrary of anarchy, which, with its emblem, the red dace, was carroted in Chicago more than any other city. Indication there is very little likelihood of its again gaining dangerous strength in the next few years, and finally faunthed in the breeds, and its AVE YOU READ THE APPEAL?

A few days since we read of an Afro-American shooting perhaps fatally two white men who objected to his presence in the car in which they were. We thought, well, the Jim Crow car law is responsible for the shooting. And we thought that it would have been very much better to have not had that senseless law. Then those three lives would not have been sacrificed. The shooter in this case was so enraged to think that he could not get seats for two women, because of the damnable law that he shot to kill when the men told him he was in the wrong car. "LYNCH HIM" Eleven people from their citizens were shot by Jeremiah Hunter and his wife, Negroes, who turned their home into a fort in resistance to cap This was not in the wild west, but, in the immediate vicinity of New York city, Hunter and his wife, both old, were not hardened criminals. On the contrary, they were the trusted and faithful caretakers of a wealthy city man's suburban estate. They could fire a peaceable one man and his wife with the desperation of a Tracy must have been strong indeed, and it was. Hunter offense—but that does not matter—is sufficient to make him subject to arrest. But he was a Negro. Instantly the cry "Lynch him!" was raised and a great crowd gathered. E. B. LOTT, Republican Candidate for Nomination as Sheriff. E. B. Lott, the Republican candidate for sheriff, has always been an active worker in the ranks of organized labor. He has represented Bookbinders' Union No. 37 in the Trades and Labor Assembly for a number of years. As a member of the肘肘attention commissioners he has had commissioners and passed several resolutions of great benefit to labor. Mr. Lott has been a A coward might have cavely fallen to his knees, begging for justice where there was no justice, crying for mercy where there was no mercy, appealing for pity where there was no pity. But this old man was of a different sort of stuff. For fifteen hours he held against mob and police, and in those fifteen hours fifteen men fell before his deadly fire. He was taken only after the house had been burned and he was killed. He was resisting the law, in a sense. In another sense, he was fighting for his life, only a brave man will. Two members, Messrs. R. Massachusetts, and Openthe consin, expressed themes most passionate manner in the admission of Afro-Newer leader of the antis and—cuir—he won. May Grant never have night's peaceful slumber; may he carried to his grave is example is not one to emulate. BUT YOU JUST WOULD BE FORGET THEN THE AMERICAN GOLE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE INFAMOUS CONDITIONS THAT MADE THIS MAN A DESPERADO IN A FIGHT FOR HIS LIFE. THE LYNCH RECORD OF THIS COUNTRY LOADED THOSE GUNS, AND THE MAN WHO CRIED, "LYNCH HIM!" PRESSSED THE TRIGGER. When Afro-Americans are finally forced to conclude that there is no show in this country for them to receive anything like justice—and they are fast coming to that conclusion— many of them will sell their lives as dearly as did Jeremiah Hunter and several others in various parts of the country. If a man knows he is to die at the hands of a merciless mob why shouldn't he kill as many of its members as possible? One H. V. Cashin, who, by the way, is a Republican officeholder, being receive of public moneys at Huntsville, Ala. is out in a card, stating: "There has been agreed action by the colored Republicans with respect to the arrest of those dressed who were registered refrained from all participation therein, thus giving ample opportunity to build up a Republican party, under conditions appropriate to such an occasion, as most promising, and which will prevent the least embarrassment to those who have hitherto voted with Democrats on social considerations and who will be arrested upon state and general questions. "Besides, it is generally admitted that popular government is at present a nullity in the state, and it is contended that the situation is due to a past or present fear of Negro domination. Therefore, if the voluntary disaffection of the remaining colored voters will contribute remotely to the restoration of civil liberty, I can conceive of no nobler or more imperative duty." Mr. Cashin, who is an Afro-American, has queer ideas of the "restoration of civil liberty." History does not record a single case where a people have gained greater rights by giving up those already conceded. Rights must be wrested. The Afro-American must not give up anything; he must fight and die, if necessary, to maintain all he now enjoys. Mr. Cashin has given up his right to be a delegate to a nominating convention and the next move will be to ask him to give up his office, for the Caucasian who is opposed to Afro-Americans attending party conventions, is also opposed to Afro-American officeholders. Let us ever honor C. C. HQWARTH, MASSACHUSETTS, G. P. OPTENBERG, WISCONSIN The Boston convention of the American Association of Stationary Engineers was the scene of the liveliest fight in the history of the organization. The question whether Afro-Americans may become members of the association was decided against the race. THE APPEAL A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER resident of St. Paul from his childhood, and has always taken an active interest in all matters pertaining to the welfare of the city and county. For a faithful work he has performed for the benefit of labor he believes he is deserving of their undivided support, and with the aid of his friends ranks of labor he hopes to be elected the office of sherif of Ramsey county. Two members, Messrs. Howarth, of Massachusetts, and Optenberg, of Wisconsin, expressed themselves in a most passionate manner in favor of the admission of Afro-American. One Grant, of New Orleans, was the leader of the antis and—cursed be his tribe—he won. May Grant never have a single night's peaceful slumber; may he finally be carried to his grave, amid the executions of the Afro-American people, and cursed be his ashes. The daily newspapers of the country do the Afro-American people a great injustice in publishing dispatches headed "NEGRO LYNCHED FOR THE USUAL CRIME." It is a vile slander of a people who are murdered by mobs, often without any provocation whatever. Statistics of lynchings for the past twenty-five years show that not more than 16 per cent of the Afro-Americans who have been lynched, were even charged with assaults on women. If the daily press wishes to give the Afro-American a square deal, the "Usual Crime" heading should be cut out. It's a lie. In Tennessee, recently, the wife of one of the most prominent citizens became so jealous of her beautiful Afro-American servant that she rushed upon, her and literally picked her eyes out of her head with a silver table fork. Afterward, grasping the servant around the body, she carried her to the red-hot cooking stove, where, for five minutes, she tortured her, in satisfaction of an insane jealousy. The perpetrator of this horrible crime was a Caucasian, Mrs. Earl Sharp, of Sevier county, Tennessee. There is no talk of lynching. The Atlanta Constitution says that the Afro-American politicians can only retain their present position and influence by pandering to the ignorance and prejudices of their race so they can not afford to indoise education and progress. As a matter of fact the politician is the man who has always stood for the real progress of the race along all lines. They have often met with opposition from an illiterate clergy, but the intelligent politicians have done more for their race than any other class of leaders. Giles W. Jackson, an Afro-American, has filed an application in the circuit court of the United States, at Montgomery, Alabama, for an injunction against the new state constitution of Alabama. The petition prays that the state registrars be enjoined from further refusing to put the names of himself and other qualified Afro-American voters on the registration list. He also asks that the grandfather and understanding clauses of the new constitution be declared unconstitutional. right to independent action and announce their purpose not to vote with any other group, which does not insist upon the recognition of municipal home rule, and the social, as well as the political, equality of blacks and whites under the constitution and before the law. Some folks are kicking because some enterprising preachers attracted hundreds of people to their churches by announcing that they would have whistling solos. What's the difference whether a solo is played on an instrument, sung or whistled? What preachers wish is to preach to the people, and if singing won't attract them to the churches so that they may be preached to, and whistling will, have whistling by all means. The Republican party has kept all of its pledges. A. R. McGILL Republican Candidate for Senator, Thirty-seventh District thirty-seventh District.

Republican Candidate for Auditor of Ramsey County. Mr. Keller has lived in St. Paul all his life, and is well and favorably known here, not only in business, but in the social side of life as well. He was born in St. Paul, Sept. 21, 1858 in schools of the city. He graduated from the high school, and supplemented his earlier education by a course in a business college. He entered the college in 1861 and John M. Keller, and after his death on the business alone for ten years, leaving it in 1890 to enter the general real estate and building business. This he continued for several years. He was a county auditor under D. M. Sullivan, and served in that capacity until 1899, a few months after the election of Auditor. He was engaged for several months in superintending railroad construction for Foley Brothers, the contract 1910 ors. In the fall of 1898, Auditor Johnson called him in for a few months of special service in preparing the lists of property delinquent in the payment of taxes for the sale in May of 1890. Auditor Johnson, Harry Griswold, Mr. Johnson sought Mr. Keller and offered him the post. He accepted it, and has had since active charge of the affairs of the office. Under his management the system of the office has been largely changed, and safeguards it for the office, organization which render impossible a repetition of the frauds practiced by Bourne and others. While not a politician, Mr. Keller is supported by many excellent and assistive colleagues. For his candidacy, and it is safe to assume that his showing at the primaries will be most satisfactory. HURD IS MAKING GOOD RACE. Candidacy for Republican Nomination for Senate Meeting With Favor. The candidacy of Rukard Hurd, Northwestern manager of the Washington Life Insurance company, for the Republican nomination to the state senate is meeting with much favorable comment among members of the Republican district, in which he is running, and it is said that he will surprise even his intimately by the showing which he will make at the primaries. Mr. Hurd has resided in St. Paul since 1971 and is favorably known in the social as well as the political and business worlds. M. B. He is a native of Cincinnati, where he was born in 1858. He has always been active in Republican politics, and has loyal support for his party for years ago, when he was sent to the legislature to represent the Thirty-sixth district in the house, he has never been a candidate for an electorate of 1,400 majorities in 1900 was by over 1,400 majorities in considering the size of the district from which he ran, is very flattering. Mr. Hurd served as a member of Gov. Clough's staff, and was retained by the governor, and, despite his life-long Republicanism, a recognition of his particular fitness for the position Mr. Hurd having received a military training. His independence and honesty in the hard work and dedication he made him many friends, who united in helping him to again become a candidate. ST. PAUL.

Krahmer, candidate for the Republican nomination for county auditor, is considered to be a winner by those having a knowledge of Ramsey County, held the position of register of deeds at one time, and acquitted himself in such a thorough manner he is generally conceded to be one of the ablest county position. Such men as Mr. Krahmer are politics. With Mr. Krahmer nominated and elected the general public can rest assured that their interests are carefully protected.

VOTE FOR YOUR FRIENDS, TUESDAY As there are no Afro-Americans who are candidates for any of the offices to be voted for on the 16th, they can only show their loyalty to themselves by voting for men who will recognize them in making appointments in their offices, when elected. Several of those who have cuts and sketches in The Appeal have given such assurances. There is one however, a case where nothing of the sort may be expected, and that is PHIL C. JUSTUS, candidate for sheriff. He says he can make more friends among the Afro-Americans by not appointing one of them than by doing so. He says it's impossible to satisfy them. So it is safe to bet that he will not offend them by appointing any one of them. REMEMBER THIS NEXT TUESDAY. Primary election next Tuesday—vote for Republicans. A large hall well filled with good people on the 22nd—Sherman Hall. Everyone who knows what Emancipation means will be at Sherman Hall on the 22nd. The Odd Fellows and their wives will be at Sherman Hall on the 22nd. Tickets, 35 cents. The voters will make no mistake in voting for Nicholas Pottgeiser for County Commissioner and don't you forget it. The tickets for the Odd Fellows entertainment on the 22nd cost 35 cents and that's 6 cents per hour for 6 hours' pleasure. Sherman Hall is a very large place and will accommodate a great many people. The floor is delightful and it only costs 35 cents. Congressman F. C. Stevens has a lead pipe cinch—no one against him. He'll have a walk over, too, at the regular election.

The story is being circulated that a great many people in the Twin Cities don't know what Emancipation means. Go to Sherman Hall on the 22nd, and see if they don't. Gentlemen wishing nice furnished rooms, with all conveniences, by the week or month, at reasonable rates, should apply at the Benton House, 228 West Third street, up stairs. The following Afro-Americans have been selected as judges at the primaries: H. Robinson and R. Farr in the Fourth ward; R. C. Minor, R. C. Howard in the Eighth ward. What's in a name?

And, since they've found this date so great, We'll all join in and celebrate— Monday, Sept. 22nd. The superb attraction, King Dodo, with a choral court of seventy-five, will play a triumphant return engagement at the Metropolitan Opera House for four nights and a Wednesday matinee beginning Sunday night. Haverly's world famous minstrels will play the latter half of the week with the usual Saturday matinee. Again the Odd Fellows come forth with an excellent entertainment in the way of an Emancipation celebration which will be given by Mars' Lodge at Sherman Hall, St. Paul, Sept. 22nd. This is an annual affair with the Odd Fellows. A fine orchestra has been secured. There will be a through car to Minneapolis at 2 o'clock a.m. M. B. GRIER M ORR. Candidate for District Judge. M. H. H. Ross Clarke, who is a candidate for the Republican nomination for clerk of the District court, is a well known attorney of this city. Mr. Clarke has always taken an active interest in public affairs and in local politics; he is a public speaker of much ability and for many years has been on the staff of a Republican campaign speakers. He is a member of the Chamber of Commerce and of the National Association of other public organizations. Mr. Clarke has always been a consistent friend of the colored race. He is a firm believer in a greater and better destiny for the black man and has ever been ready to lend a helping hand to anything looking to that end. Mr. Clarke although he has helped many others to get office, has never before sought office or himself. Mr. Clarke is well known for his court cases. He is stronely opposed to a third term for any but judicial and legislative offices. On the subject of a third term he says: "E. G. Rogers has held the office of clerk for two terms of four years each, making eight years he has served. He is now asking for a third term. If he should be nominated and elected, he would be in the office twelve years. This is a longer time than any one ought to hold the office. I take this view of the matter, viz.: That is it not fair to the rest of the voters to be nominated for county office. I will say that I would under no circumstances, stand for a third term, and I favor a law making the limit two years. There is a strong sentiment in county against a third term. This was shown a short time ago in the case of Chapel, for a third term for sheriff, who met a disastrous defeat at the election, solely because the voters were opposed to a third term. Sullivan who wanted to be County Auditor for a third term, was also beaten. Our recent state convention would not sanction a third term for the office of Clerk of the Supreme Court. I do not want to be elected for a third term to one of the large county offices in this county. "If I should be elected. Clerk. I will make no charge for naturalization papers, nor for pension papers." Mr. Krahmer's candidacy for this important office is being received with general satisfaction. Born, reared and educated in Minnesota, he has been identified with St. Paul since the days of his infancy. He is a substantial tax-payer, engaged in the real estate business, and this, together with his four years of experience as a real estate broker, has made him a well-assembled person of this city, have fa W. H. miliorized him with real estate conditions and the administration of public affairs to an extent that has particularly been seen in his administration of the registry office is recalled as a model of efficiency and of business methods ROSS CLARK applied to public affairs. The side popularity of Mr. Krahmer enjoys among all classes promises well for his success at the polls. Congressman Stevens has a renomination assured, and the only Democratic candidate is John L. Gieske. The latter has been a better success as a barber than a politician heretofore, for he failed to land a democratic nomination for the assembly last spring. Judge Grier M. Orr, who is a candidate for the District court bench, has in his eight years' as judge of the Municipal Court made so many friends that almost everybody knows him. That he will be one of the successful candidates at the primaries goes without saying. JOSEPH KEATING Republican Candidate for County Com missioner. Joseph Keating, Republican candidate for county commissioner, has been a resident of the city for 28 years and has been a resident of the 9th ward for the past 20 years, during all of which time he has been an active party worker. In 1888 when he was employed by the Great Northern Railway, he received the nomination for County-Commissioner from the Republican party and received the second highest number of votes on election day, there being only one Republican candidate elected for that office. Mr. Keating has been successfully engaged for several years in the advertising business, both local and traveling, and is thoroughly posted in city and county government.

The contest for the Republican nomination for congressman from the Fifth district, composed of Hennessey county, has developed a campaign of education as vigorous as any in the history of the district. It is a campaign that would be impossible under the old convention system, and advocates of the direct principles point to it as an illustration of the educational benefit of the system. Meetings are held in every part of the district by each of the three candidates, and the issues of the campaign are discussed. The meetings are well attended, and the speakers are exerting themselves to the utmost in explaining the issues THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER Republican Candidate for Legislature from thirty-Sixth District.

He also, in conjunction with Senator Clapp, Hiram F. Stevens and two or more other members, organized the St. Paul College of Law, which is now a flourishing institution, with nearly one hundred students. The strong points in Mr. Tighe's candidacy include his intimate knowledge of the city's needs and conditions, gained by his service on the charter commission, and his loyalty to the city, based on his long residence, and his PETER H. BURGESS connection with its business interests During the present summer he organized a company, which is constructing a hundred and fifty thousand-dollar business block on the corner of Broadway and East Fifth street, to be completed in October. This work is an evidence of his faith in St. Paul, and his ambition to contribute to its progress. C. E. HAMILTON. Republican Candidate for the Legislature from Thirty-Sixth District. Mr. C. E. Hamilton has been a resident of St. Paul for nearly fifteen years, thirteenth of which he has resided in the Seventh ward, where he owns a cozy home, No. 981 Hague avenue.

Loren Fletcher, who for ten years has represented the district in congress, is a candidate for renomination, and he is a strong supporter of institutions are making their campaign against him on his vote on the question of Cuban reciprocity, and on the ground that he is not a strong supporter of that question. Fletcher's friends are vigorously defending his stand on national issues, and assert that the work he has done for the district will be to instigate that congress will convince the people that it is not wise to nominate an untried man in his stead. O. the controllable expenditure of that city was reduced about $40,000, and yet the improvement of the city's streets and parks was increased beyond any previous year. He was a member of the Manitoba legislature for four sessions and introduced and carried through the "Torres Land Title Act" and other important laws. He was also attorney general of Manitoba for four years. Mrs. L.

Arrol, Republican candidate for Clerk of the District Court, has been a resident of St. Paul more than twenty years and is conspicuous- [Image of a man in a suit and tie]. ly identified with the city and its people. There are probably two thousand St. Paul people to-day who live in houses constructed by Mr. Arrol, and several thousand have been directly or indirectly benefited by his enterprise. While never a political office holder, Mr. Arrol has always been active in the work of the party, and consequently has upheld the city's interests on all occasions. He is well known among and in full sympathy with the working classes and is considered by those who know him best to be fair, honest and upright, and as he possesses all the qualifications necessary for the office no voter will make a mistake by voting for him. Fifteen Afro-Americans, who were working laying the concrete on West Seventh street lost out by going on a strike Thursday at noon. Two of their number were discharged and the others struck. They were promptly paid off and white men were hired in their places. It seems that the "man and Brother" gets the worst of it no matter how they go about it. M. H. member of the last house of representatives of the state legislature and a champion of the tax code at the special session of the legislature, he served as palligraph for the nomination. He is a fluent speaker, and his addresses have attracted wide attention. His friend may be the candidate, and what is practically certain of the Democratic nomination. Eugene G. Hay, the third candidate, fletcher the position with regard to Cuban reciprocity, and he has been making his campaign largely on that issue. His speech was well suited on the subject, be it very able to articulate, and have aroused much discussion. PETER H. BURKE E. G. ROGERS. E. G. Rogers, the present incumbent, is one of the best-known men of St. Paul, and bases his candidacy upon the record he has made as clerk. He asks a re-election vote to any attorney as to the method and manner of his conduct of the office. He argues that the position is a most responsible one, and that the best guardian man can give to the future his record. He argues that he made an enviable record, and if re-elect- M. L. COUNTRYMAN.

Every good man in office under me will be encouraged, and bad men, if any are shown to be so, will be sent away. I shall look over with watchful eyes, all bills which I will pay to the mayor, before I sign them. I shall keep myself in view the fact that the mayor is the public official representative of all the people, not a party or class. It will be my constant endeavor to do all in my power to advance whatever is for the commercial, the educational, the moral good of this city. Whatever brings men together with good will and compassion, I should keep good of the working men so always before me. They are the majority, and in the wealth producing power of the city hold the chief place. There are many vital questions pressing for consideration, which I cannot discuss in this address to the voters, but you may be sure of this. I shall ask you up, one by one, in such way as seemed appropriate to the Law and liberty, decency and economy I revere. I ask all classes of Republicans to support me at the primary election. "W. L.
