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. AROUND THE WORLD TOUR VOL. 18. NO. 38. Beirut, Syria, A., **28-** To the Editor: We are at the door of the holy land, only a few miles from the city of Aleppo, by our friend, the Turk, to stay on board the steamer for five days, all vessels from Alexandria, Egypt, being quarantined. It is a ship is small and the officers are Italian who speak no language but their own. We are for a trip around the world, and after a few days stay in San Francisco, we embark on a journey to Marti for the Hawaiian islands and on arriving at the empyms pier, our first task is to see that the baggage properly packed and secured, seeming confusion are everywhere. Men give hurrying to and fro, and orders are army of men. Over the ships' railing the passengers say a final good-bye to friends on the wharf. Suddenly, at the sound of the fusion cease, and the big steam, amid festivities forth on the beginning of the longest single ocean voyage in the world. Items Are Numbered. At our first meal on board presented to us the novel feature of neatly apparelled boy walters, and nooses and nooses boy walters and filling dancers is in marked contrast with the manners of the white water usually found on shipboard. Though all these boys unquestionably wear nooses, the bills of fare is numbered, to prevent misunderstanding, and passengers generally wear nooses in sight; the islands that are next door to the equator; the isles of romance and song, where the flagry beacon is a member of the family of the United States. Honolulu has a good harbor, land-locked and picturesque, and here during the summer the islands are its alongside the wharf. I was told that the city has 40,000 inhabitants, of which the foreigners predominate. It is not posed in such a way that the islands. I cannot see how the Garden of Eden could have been more beautiful, but I cannot see how the "Paradise of the Pacific," and its absolutely perfect climate, the ravishing beauty of its scenery, amply justify the Honolulu possesses good hotels, and more than one hundred miles of shady, sandy beaches, a back-roaching river of interest. Back in Hawaii, and within twenty minutes walk of our hotel, is the famous "Punchbowl" (empty, I am sorry to say), 600 feet high from the summit of the island. Honolulu and the surrounding country. The sugar industry is the most important here. Last year 355,000 tons, valued at $1.2 billion, were shipped to Islands. To my surprise, I found most of the inhabitants to be Chinese—but a cause different from what we are used to. Trip to Japan. We start on our way to Yokohama—to Japan, the land of the most industrious cities in the world. We pass out we passed the one hundred and eighteenth degree of longitude, just half a mile before we passed the morning, when at breakfast the next morning, found that the captain had thrown Monday overboard; for the bill of fare said, "You are a man of great standing." Early in the morning of the eighteenth day, the southeastern gulf of Tokyo is called the bay of Japan, bounding the point, we went to the port for forty miles on either side. Passing through fleets of fishing boats sausages and Japanese junks we arrived at the bay of Yokohama Bay, and at 9 o'clock are fast at the company's buoy, half a mile from the coast of Japan, to舟堤, dressed in long gowns and a breech-clock, shout and yell at one another as they struggle to bring the sausages into favorable positions at the Steam launches from the several hotels are soon alongside, and the runners are patrons. Putting our luggage and keys in the charge of the runner of our hotel, we are so excited to take the customer we find the examiner of our effects to be mere formality. On the first street at the entrance, we find, in front of the entrance, the coolies or Jinjiriksha men standing near their vehicles, anxious for the opportunity to earn 5 or 10 cents by transporting the goods to the back stepping into one of these enlarged baby carriages for the first time, is peculiar. One is in Jinjiriksha, back stepping into one of the coolies stumbling sending one head foremost to the ground. The charges for a short distance are five ten cents per person and the men are expected from the stranger, Grand hotel, facing the bay, is the best hotel in the city, and here we secured Yokohama has a population of 125,000, of which 1,500 are foreigners. The hotels situated within the settlement—a territory set apart where foreigners may locate and transact business. All numbers with a stand of by streets, number one being the first house or lot on the bond, and so on, until the highest number of the settler is reached. The settler, a treaty, i am told, Japan has five treaties, vi, Yokohama, Kobe, Hokodate, Nigata and Nebasaki, in either of which the foreigner has a radius of about twenty-five miles of which they may make temporary visits without a Japanese passport. Nothing is simpler than Japanese money. The yen corresponds to our dollar and is made up of 10 cent, while 10 den makes 1 sen. The yen can dollar and is, roughly reckoned, about 20 cents, United States money. One six-cents or yen indiscriminately, always makes 1 cent, the rent coin of the East. When one asks for his bill after a purchase in a store, the merchant takes up his frame of six cents, and pays a clattering measure before he can toll its amount. The soroban is infallible, though slow, and in the head of the sand. The soroban is a guards of arbitrary characters and words, there is no room for mental arithmetic. **Paradise of Babies** Pretty Japanese woman is far more satisfying as she patters along on her wooden clips or straw sandals. It seemed to me that she was a baby on her back. I never saw so many babies in any three countries as I saw in Japan; but she says that Japan that she was born in about, tied to their mother's or sister's backs. They sleep with their heads helplessly around; watch with their eyes of eyes that goes on, never cry. In the Japanese section of Yokohama we and one native soona, where we are curious, porcelain, silks, livery cavings, embroideries, in fact, every variety of new and old fabrics, livery cavings, the ordinary Japanese shop is a low one and one-half-story building, with long overhanging walls, mounted on wooden posts, centrally open front, and the screens instead of partitions, as we use. Here we also find the tea houses and the screens instead of partitions, as we use. Here we also find the tea houses and the screens instead of partitions, as we use. After seeing the Fudu temple on the hill, we were, so far as sightseeing we were concerned, practically on the hill with Yokohama and take the train for Tokio, the capital city of Japan, the next morning, on the general basis of three sen per mile for first-class, two sen second, and one sen third-class. The first-class coaches are from Tokyo and Yokohama into three or four compartments, with seats upholstered in leather. The American check system is in general use upon Imperial City. Tokio, with its million of inhabitants, the imperial palace with its beautiful green grass, has many points of historic interest, is a representative of Japanese life and customs. A street car (electric) will take us about the city, but we prefer the old wooden carriage. The hotel having taken quarters at the Imperial hotel we secured a guide and went sightseeing. Army is always in evidence in Tokio, and the little soldiers, in uniforms of dark blue cloth, swarm in the neighbor's form, the dazzling officers, rising well in the saddle, trot by on show horses. All the foreign legations are on the high street, and the castle mouses, near the castle mouses, all legation buildings are owned by their respective governments, except that of the United States, where the show places of Tokio are the many government museums, tombs and temples, parks and the streets with their fairs, etc. From Tokio we go by rail to Kamakura to see the colossal bronze figure of the Dai Senguji, in height this figure is 844 feet; circumference, 97 feet; length of face, with a mouth 3/4 feet 2 inches wide, head, each of which is 9 inches long. We decided to make a journey through the country by railroad, and from Yokohama to Tokyo, to find a beautiful and fertile district. All farming in Japan is done by irrigation, and I went to the fields. The Japanese farmer does not use horses. He turns the soil with his hands from the field on his own back—a slow, but sure way of doing it. In America, our farmers live on their land; not so in villages, and spend two to three hours a day in going to and from work. We buy more than $100,000 of rice and milk. On our way to Kobe we made a trip to Tokyo, where we met near the city of Miyoshita. This mountain is 12,500 feet high and its top is covered with 2,000 years ago Fujasan, after a quarrel with the other gods, caused this mountain to rise out of the earth in a single Try to Use Chop Sticks. On this trip we had our first experience with real native food and the manner of cooking it, to our train, we got pretty hungry after several hours' ride, and I concluded to try one of the wooden boxes with food for sale at the station. We bought the Japanese, and very fond of—and spiced vegetables, and last, but not least, the two knives we used to cut our knife and fork. Of course, we could eat nothing but the rice, and as we could not go along with the sticks, we had to buy them. We were also the natives, who were traveling in the same car. We reached Koto, the old capital of Japan, in the evening. The present emperor moved the seat of government from hear some thirty years ago. Koto has been the seat of the emperor since being one of the most interesting cities in the country, it affords a very good place of rest and comfort for the emperor. Japan, it having been erected at a cost of $5,000,000. Koto is noted for its pottery and porcelain, its embroideries, velvets and On the day of our arrival there was a great celebration, occasioned by the new king Edward, the emperor were English and Japanese and the pictures of King Edward and the emperor were everywhere, games were here, speeches were there, the city was spent an eponymous at one of the theaters there was a point where interested us most women, sitting on the floor, like our tailors on their tables. We were at Kobe, which is about 400 miles from Yokohama and of all treat ports is the city with some of the conveniences of a modern city, including good hotels and clubs, and is within easy interest as Osaka, Nara and Kobe. In Kobe we had the great pleasure of formality, the Norwegian Consul general to Japan, Mr. Ottesen. Through his kindness and hospitality our stay in Kobe was made ex After shilping our purchases to America, we embarked on steamer "China" for Hongkong. On the way we stopped one day at Nagasaki, the last port in Japan. The harbor of Nagasaki is known as one of the most picturesque in the world. The town seems to have run down from the ravlines and spread itself on the inlet, and residences, temples and tea houses appear as if elinging to the hillside. Nagasaki has a million dollar dry dock, and the richest coal mines in Japan. All steamers coal there. It was in Nagasakis that General and Mrs. Grant planted trees to commemorate their visit, and a fac simile of his autograph certificate, recording the event, was cut on the face of the large, irregular stone between the two saplings. From Nagasaki to Shanghai, our first port in China, is a distance of about 400 miles. Upon anchoring we found that we were thirteen miles from the city, to which we had to be taken in launches. The foreign settlement in Shanghai is beautifully built and well managed by its own municipal council-in marked contrast to the walled native city adjoining. Shanghai is, on account of its location on the Whampoo river, one of the most important points of eastern trade. Today it takes the leading position of all Chinese ports and in Chinese trade on the whole. Shanghai consists of the original Chinese city, the French concession and THE APPEAL. the international nation's foreign concession. The American settlement, each of which has its own administration. The population is, I am told, 100,000, of which about 1,000 are European.

One hundred and sixty years ago it was an important seaside town, between the French and English powerhouses. North America. To-day it is famed for its wildewater fowl that in with the high tides of the storms which rake it from end to end. It hears, also, by times, the tales of the fallen to run now. It was my fortune to witness the denouement of that strange little town. It took place during a holiday month spent on the borders of Tantramar. Looking back now, the events seem to have been a little sad. It was riding my wheel along the road skirting the wide marsh which stretched between the rolling hills. To the north RELEASE COAL COMBINE REYSE gradual ascent of the uplands, with hererain spruce trees. In front, and far away, the dark waters of Fundy brimmed to the blue Nova Scotia coast and the free hibernation of the low sun was lighting up all the countryside, unharmed, so that over the whole expanse wave-like lines as the wind paved across. Everything was peaceful, and we beamed beyond a very moderate spectacle, as we beamed until I came to the summit of a long slope. For some distance past I had been suddenly conscious of a journey that seemed to have been a long one. I reached the top of the hill indoors, and I gleaned stronger, and I glanced quickly at the painted, a dead white, and squared-painted knoll back from the road. Several huge knoll in front, bright with flowers, and lay in front, bright with flowers, and through this a short path led to the door. I observed something unpleasant about the place. As I drew abreast of the garden a first glance of the hallway. I halled me. I dismounted and approached the gate, where an old man was standing. "Hi," he said. "I'll go back." "Sir," said he. "have you passed any one lately coming in this direction? A backback," it came. "I answered, the 'ron seemed deserved this afternoon'." He wistfully, wistfully, sighing as much displeasure "Whom are you expecting?" I ventured a little touched, I must admit, by his aspect. his aspect, brother "he requiled, "My brother James. I've been looking for him these many years, but this summer I is coming back and well I will go to England to learn more," he lamented, and again he shot that wistful glance at "To England." I exclaimed, "That's a shame. Can you give me a drink and thirst? Can you give me a water? Then, if you will, you can tell me where the village, and wears may see there." Old man's face lighted up light. He opened the gas, which sagged heavily on back on clacking nings. He looked at you, "of you, sir," he said. "Come up to the house, and accept my hospitality." Defective Page As no ice the way up the garden walk the garden shrub shrub showed sign of careful tending; the den was small, but beautifully laid out. plained the unpleasant impression when it had been placed upon me. The place was open, and the sun shone up over upper story, stared vacantly out over the marsh and the distant bay; the bravery of the man was evident in the desolation of it all. For it was desolate I thought. There was no busy cackle from the garden, and there was none of the commonly sounds of the farm. A crow flew solemnly overhead, and the sun cast long shadows from a group of fir trees at the back. The old man turned to me when we "I am afraid," said she. "What James haven't may say at that machine of yours he may say at that machine of yours. If he hope you won't mind putting it to one certainly it, I piled. "I'll put it here." Within the house the rooms were large, with hollow walls of muzzy arches wide inside, some of murky arches came to my nostrils. My host threw open some of the rooms, and I was in, in revealing an old-fashioned parlor with furniture in the fashion of a generation on a far grander scale than that of the farmhouses round about. I sat down, but no soothes had the old furniture started up again with the peculiar sensation that some unseen people around the light flooded every room, and no hiding place was visible unless in the rains. The light flooded my shoes, and no hiding place was visible unless in the rains. The light flooded my shoes, and no hiding place was visible unless in the rains. Half-shafam of myself went over and pulled them aside. Then I was seized by a portrait which hung above the mantelpiece. It was the mourner's every movement. This explained my uneasiness: I had unconsciously been in the water. As I drank, he pointed at my water, but that is my water, before he left. "That is my brother, before he left, seven years ago. But I'll tell you about him." We both sat down, and for a sparse an man we gazed earnestly at the portrait over the wall, which was a large one. GOAL COMBINE AUTOMOBILIST: GET OUT OF MY "But one summer James fell sick. I can't recall the year—my memory is not what it used to be. I am much alone, sir. But James fell sick, and I was hard pressed to bring him around. He recovered at last, and then I showed him a letter which had come for him. It was from our father's lawyer, and it told us that the father was dead, and James, as the eldest son, should go home to settle up the estate. Never a word of forgiveness, mark you, from him that was dead! He was a stern man. Now this was a good thing for James, meaning change of air and a long sea voyage to put new life into him. I went with him as far as Halifax, where he took the Cunard steamer. Yet sometimes now I wish he'd never gone. He was sad at leaving the farm, I remember. And he's been gone a long time now. And he hasn't written for many a day. But I know James hasn't forgotten, and I know he will come back soon!" The speaker stopped and moved rest- tle. The speaker suddenly be-turned me and said. "Why, yes," I replied, somewhat surprised by the question; I don't see why he shouldn't." Once more the old man gave his pecuniary aid, with a�riac glance. Then he went over to the picture above the mantelpiece. "It fell down one night long ago," he said, as if to himself. "There was a storm, and I was away—somewhere—forget where. The rain was flooding the marshes, and the wind was howling up the way. God help the poor ships out that night! And when I came home the picture was lying on the floor." He ceased. There was a long silence. Finally he struck his forehead impatiently. "I cannot remember what happened that night! The storm and the darkness and where was James? But it doesn't matter now, for he's coming home soon." Another pause followed, which lasted until I rose to leave. Going down the garden path he stopped and called attention to his flowers. "I am getting all in order for James home-coming," he explained. "He is fond of bright flowers." look out for your brother in the village, and think I'd recognize him from the picture." "I'm greatly obliged to you for your kindness," replied my companion. "Tell me what happened out, for I've long been waiting for him!" At a curve in the road I glanced the old man was still standing at his office, in the gathering dusk, gazing after me. Since wine was only a few miles away and I soon found myself in a place where a small hotel which overlooked place was a small hotel which overlooked place was a small hotel which overlooked smoking in the cool of the morning landlord joined me for the customary "Well." he began, "how fur did you git to-day?" I told him, and then related my experience, touching lightly on the old man's story. "So he stopped you, did he?" said the landlord, with a chuckle, "and told you 'bout another James? Well, you ain't the fust, not by 'bout a thousand, that old Jarge Montague has told the same story to." "What do you mean?" I asked. "This is the how of it," answered the landlord, tilting his chair into a more comfortable position. "I was a lad at the time, but I can remember it all right. Him an' his brother come out from England—that's all right." WAY 1 ounter got took stick 'aen home when home when he got stick 'aen home when home. But now I'll tell you what old Jarsen you. James Montague did come out here you. James Montague did come out when he landed. He landed from a wreck with a hole busted in his skull." I look the speaker proceed to explain. "The man who was called the Scots, I guess, one of them big paddle boats that used to run in the old days. That was way back in the sixties. Then he took passage in a schooner for the village here. She was called the Curlew. She got round safe and came up and near reached the head of the bay when a big storm was high, got her, and she was a mile below here, an every soul drowned. Old Jarge—he was young Jarge then—had come into the village with a couple of horses for himself an his brother to ride out to the house. The fust he seen of his brother James was when he was washed ashore, with his head cut up terble. Old Jarge didn't say nuthin—fest seen about the berial, and then shut himself up in the big house. That was thirty year ago. Lately he's taken to stoppin people on the road, an askin' if they has seen his brother James. We mostly laffs at him, but I guess it's kinder rough on th' old feller." I often saw the old man after this, and he was invariably moving about his garden, which seemed daily to grow in beauty. He greeted me always with the same wistful question, and for pity of his Hitherto the summer had been free from bad weather. Day after day and the sun mace over forth. The sunset was over, and the sights of the bay. At last, one night late in August, I saw a huge wall of cloud blotting out the stars to the south and the sun, and to bed with the rough of rising wind in a mound of the storm, the landlord announced that he would come in with the tide. Despite his warning, however, I set out for an afternoon ride along the upland road. The sky was blue, and the sky flocked with white caps. But I missed a familiar hold from the roadside, for no one was visible. I passed the big white house, where the flowers were brighter than ever under the dull clouds. The road was so good and the air so braving that the was no more out before I thought of turning. What had I done? I thought was gathering down, and the huge marsh looked dim and lonely. The storm was coming in good earnest, for down the bay a swift flame of lightning reap that was not what I was to lose if I wanted to escape a wetty time to soon found that the return journey was easy matter. The wind met me with MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY. THE APPEAL KEEPS IN FRONT BECAUSE: 1- It is the organ of ALL Abo. 2- It is not controlled by any ring or clique. 3- It asks no support but the people's. Here a huge fire blazed, and I was quickly dry. The old man gave me a hot drink from a brew which simmered beside the hearth. It put new life into me, your brother really coming to night? I asked, determined to humor him. "Yes, oh yes!" he cried tremulously. "Stee, read this!" With shaking hands he unfolded a sheet of paper and gave it to me. It was a letter, frayed and worn, dated thirty years back. It said that the writer had arrived in Halifax that night, and the steamers Scotia, of the Cunard line, and would come round by schooner, avoiding the tedious coach journey. "I purpose to come," the Curlew schooner, which salls within a week. Have the house ready for me, George, and a job that good news you used to make so well will will be right, but from the village, and I shall be right, that a home again, old fellow, for we had a rough voyage coming across. "I am, dear George, your affect. Bror. — James." So it concluded. The signature was stained and blurred. And as I handed back the letter and the old man folded it, he revealed the fact that he could not pocket, the pity of it all brought tears to my own eyes. But my host was looking at me expectantly, so I forced a smile and talked to him of the returning one. How the storm thundered outside! I saw that it would be almost impossible to reach the village, and gladly accepted the order to pass, though it was not quite with him. "For," said he, "it will be pleasant for James, and I would like you to know him." When my clothes were dry we went weeping with light. Wax candles were placed in every window, and the somber parlor were gone. We brought them all out when we came, "explained the old man, "And we were all in the lights shining to welcome him home." "But will he come a night as we did when we sat in the house and farreed us where we stood. "Yes, oh, yes." The voice was very clear. "Yes, yes." The Curlew was in the bay, and I know James is coming to right. He went to hear a horse! But it was only a rain-squall driving and the wind gradually shifted, and when it stopped, the Curlew thundered at the front door and scolding in the hall. Several times it tore at the door, half turned round, while my commission started from his seat. Soon, however, the intricate nervousness of the old man in the deep sleep me awake. I was randy, nearing the storm, which had dropped for a moment, and came roaring over the marsh anew. I was hammered at the door, and the door flew out. The old man sprang up and started out of the hall, then uttering a low cry of "James!" He waited, and upon the rushed from the room. And upon the house, instantly I plastered through the house; instantly I plastered something on the rain-tiled threshold. It was the old man. I carried him into still, with a smile upon his face—I had not wake to see his bright garden rained storm—A B De Mile, in the indoors. Indicative of Mental Failure HIS QUESTION is suggested by such facts as the large number of unaddressed letters posted each year. An English contenu porary cites in evidence the official list of articles left in one year in the London cabs and omnibusses. It includes 850 canes, 19,000 umbrellas, 267 rugs, 742 opera-glasses, 926 articles of jewelry, 180 watches, 3,239 purses, besides dogs, birds, cats, etc. The list seems like a pretty severe indictment of the mental qualities of the modern city dweller, and if the hard pressed newspaper reporter happens to see it, he will undoubtedly send off a harrowing syndicate letter to all the Sunday editors on this alarming demonstration of mental degeneracy of the twentieth century man. Even our medical contemporary suggests the advisability of those who can ride in omnibuses and who forget things of consulting a physician. The more marvelous thing, however, is that they do not forget far more often than they do. Civilization has suddenly increased a thousand-fold the necessary and synchronous preoccupations of the mind. Singleness of attention was the predominant characteristic of mental action before our time of bewildered interests and duties. Not to have learned the trick of polishing in the attention at one instant such a skill as the memory-slips of a difficult demonstration of mental failure, but rather of nonacquirement of a difficult demonstration of more convolving of the actual triviality of memory-gretfulness is shown by the comparison of memory-slips of the London buses with buses and other public carriages. Let us double the number of lost articles, and estimate the number of articles to estimate the number of rides each day in London, as at least on the average one for each of the citizen, we calculate, for a year that would be as 100,000,000 trips made. Consequently, on the average, a person forgets some articles as 100,000,000 trips made. The alarmist adviser of consultation of an alienist for such failures of memory would probably smile at this evidence of own mental failure—"American Medicine. He Had a Conscience.

How One Spider CAUSED A LOSS OF 2,000 Human Lives Trifles, and sometimes queer ones at that, have been the cause of marry a frightful catastrophe. A fire which was directly responsible for the loss of more than any other single confaguration of original art, was the frightful stray tarantula—a species of hairy, hairy spider peculiar to South and Central America. The scene was Santiago, Chile, and a grand religious festival was taking place in the principal cathedral. The spider skipped into the central staircase with every variety of illumination. Twenty thousand silver lamps were in full blaze and the acyolates were busy lighting the 2002 tapers on the grand altar when the spider skipped into the central staircase. The screamed, the acyolates, some of them, looked around to learn the cause of the commotion, and one of the naked lights they carried came in contact with the a colossal figure of the Virgin. A woman was raging furnace, in which were being consumed more than 2,000 persons—the elite of Santiago society. Recently the ancient Swan hotel in Inswil, Eng. was destroyed by a fire which was through rats gnawing lucifer matches. The sudden appearance of a bilharzian mouse among the occupants of the gallery of the Victoria theater, Westminster, the night market, NKK, resulted in the death of fifteen people. A mongrel cur strayed on the St. Leger course some years ago just as the field swept by. Seven horses came down in and around the jockers who were riding them five were hurt, three seriously. To win a bet of a twinkle, a little impaled at the Perdure colliery in Bristol, the safety lamp with an ordinary halpin. He himself, with nearly two hundred of his mates, perished in the explosion which followed. In the burburriness, fifteen years ago, according to a computation appearing in the New York Press, Col. Francis Lyon invented a new kind of sensitive fuse for big-caliber shells, and invited several of his mates to try it. On the night prior to the day on which the experiments were to be made he locked up the fuses in a shed in which were some fows. The chickens started to flew and settled on the fewest and settled on the threads of the screws of the fuses. When, next morning the gunner started to fix one to a live shell, the missile exploded, killing the inventor, the inventor and five other persons. Burrowing rabbits so weakened the foundations of a tall chimney at Ckeckheaton, Yorkshire, that it fell, crushing to fifteen people. A Gypsy girl, one of a party of hoppickers, drank of a Kentish spring while suffering from typhoid fever. The spring happened to be one of several from which Maidstone drew its water supply, and a terrible epidemic, causing the death of scores of the inhabitants, was in result. Her Superanza was cast away on the coast of Chile through a tiny tiddler of five meddling with the compasses. She had on board ninety-seven persons, and all but eleven perished.

In 1830, with very low-priced labor, the cost was 18 cents; in 1900, with high-priced labor, the work would cost 3 cents. Other crops show corresponding economy in the cost of production, most of the difference due to improved machinery. It is said that at the time of the Norman conquest the plow was tied to the talls of the oxenwith ropes of oxide. West Farmer, HAVE YOU READ THE APPEAL? ST.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1902 An instance of the practical work being done for the race by the Republican administration through the Department of Agriculture is furnished by the recent sale of American grown tea on the New York market at $4 per pound. This tea was cultivated and picked by Afro-Americanes. The first experiments in growing tea in the United States which were undertaken during the administration of President Hayes were not successful because of the employment of white labor, the results obtained not being of sufficient importance to warrant their continuance. They were taken up however by Mr. Charles U. Shepherd, who has joined them up to the present time and with exceptional success. Finding it difficult to secure the necessary labor at the proper time, Mr. Shepherd instituted a school for Afro-American children, permitting them to pay their tuition by picking tea leaves. This scheme has worked satisfactorily. Another difficulty encountered was the deficiency of rainfall, which Mr. Shepherd surmounted by breeding of varieties which would withstand somewhat protracted periods of drought. He further determined that tea could be grown in competition with the cheap labor of China and Japan only on condition that the highest priced varieties be procured, and the recent sales on the New York market bear ample testimony of the success which has attended his efforts in this direction. Soon after Mr. Wilson became Secretary of Agriculture he grasped the importance of the tea industry in the United States, and secured from Congress a small appropriation for the purpose of co-operating with Mr. Shoperd. At the last session of the Fifty-sixth Congress $7,000 was appropriated for the purpose of enabling the Secretary to continue his investigations and the appropriation for the current fiscal year amounts to $10,000. The successful production of tea in the United States is regarded by Secretary Wilson as one of the triumphs of his administration. Commercial Agent Richard T. Greener at Vladivostock, Russia, is one of the best men in the consular service of the United States and he is an Afro-American appointed by the late President McKinley. According to a recent letter received by the State Department from Mr. Greener, it appears that Vladivostock is rejoicing and pluming itself over its rapid progress in the civilized arts, as a result of the opening at that point of a soap factory. The average American town would not consider this as much over which to enthuse, but the Russians at Vladivostock take a different view of the matter, and are throwing their hats into the air, so to speak, over the fact that at last they are making their own soap and not importing it. From Agent Greener, it is learned that the new factory "makes three qualities of soap—blue, yellow and green." These who claim that on account of the numerous revolutions of the Haitians are incapable of self-government should cast their eyes toward the mainland. Revolutions are now in progress in Venezuela, Columbia, Ecuador and Bolivia. There have been revolutions galore in Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala, Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rico, Chili, Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay. The inhabitants of these countries are principally Caucasians and Indians—the number of Negroes is very small. In Haiti the inhabitants principally Negroes and for this reason many Negro-phobists claim they are incapable of self government although they have succeeded in looking out for themselves about as well as 'the other so-called republics of Central and South America. "I know of the bravery and character of the Afro-American soldier. He saved my life at Santiago, and I have had occasion to say so in many articles and speeches. The Rough Riders were in a bad position when the Ninth and Tenth cavalry came rushing up the hill carrying everything before them. The Afro-American soldier has the faculty of coming to the front when he is needed most. In the Civil war he came 400,000 strong, and I believe he saved the Union."—President Roosevelt. The esteemed Democratic Chicago Chronicle rises to remark that Afro-American suffrage does not exist in the district of Columbia, which is controlled by the Republican party. Neither does white suffrage - exist. There is no discrimination whatever. ouy quq oyaa aaun aun aajqa aun pa The election laws of the South made by white Democrats are so construct-Americans are debarred from their suffrage rights. The Democrats overlook the deplorable condition of the Afro-American people in this country. They forget that thousands are slaughtered in cold blood every year because they dare exercise their rights as freemen, but look across the deep blue sea at the Filipinos, eight thousand miles away, and pretend that they wish to secure for those brown people the liberties they deny black people in America. The people who hope to build up a "illy white" Republican party in the South by repudiating the Afro-American voters will soon find that their plan is doomed to failure. The masses of the whites in the South put their faith in the Democratic party and it will be impossible to make Republicans out of them. The Southern Democrats are a narrow lot. The nominee for superintendent of public instruction in North Carolina is charged with having been for years the head of a school in Ohio where white and black children were taught together, and a number of papers are urging that this is sufficient reason for a solid white vote against him. THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER If the Filipinos think they would enjoy liberty under a Democratic administration they are very much mistaken. Let some of the brown people come to America and travel through the South and they would be consigned to Jim Crow cars and be subjected to all sorts of unjust discriminations. We desire to compliment Messrs. A. D. Wimbs and Nathan Alexander for their many efforts to prevent the unjust discrimination against them in the Alabama Republican convention. We feel confident that the party leaders in the North will not stand for this outrageous proceeding. IN THE FOREST. In the Forest. By Maximilian Foster. 150. New York: Doubleday, Page & Co. "In the Forest" is a contribution to the literature of the genre of give value. This volume contains stories of the cunning coyotes, the fierce and nugged braun speak from the heart of the wilds, in the new grammar of great simplicity, and strength. He savors. We The Republican party cannot be justly charged with the injustice and wrongs offered by the Afro-American people since the slave holders' rebellion. The Democratic party has almost invariably wronged the race, while the Republican party has done much to right these wrongs. The record of the Republican party is very clear on this matter of disfranchisement. The Republican party has always denounced disfranchisement in every National platform. The party cannot be held responsible for the action of the "illy whites" of the South. The Democratic papers are printing a lot of rot about the elimination of the Afro-American voter in the South. It is true that he has been shut out in many places, but they'll find that it will be a difficult matter to keep him eliminated. The progress of the Afro-American race in less than forty years of freedom has been more rapid than that of any other race recorded in history. A great deal of this progress should be credited to the Republican party. The American people have a substratum of good sense and although they may listen to the peculiar financial and other theories of the Bryan school of cranks, they will vote the Republican ticket on November 4. The brick that Henry Watterson shied at the New York "400" made a tenstroke. Henry, Henri, how could you ever do it? But you seem to know whereof you speak. Its the truth that hurts the most. The Afro-American can never be charged with ingratitude. He realizes what the party has done for the race and will stand by the party in this campaign as he has done in the past. It is very important that the Republican party should continue to control Congress. Help to make this possible by voting for the Republican nominee for Congress in your district. The colleges for the education of Afro-American youth in the South are crowded with students. Republican prosperity has enabled parents to send their children off to school. In the government printing office at Washington, the Afro-American is well represented. There are 168 employees and they draw from the government in salaries, $117,000. It is said that the Northern Democrat is opposed to Southern Democratic injustice to the Afro-American. If so why does he not object to it in the councils of the party. The Afro-American will never turn from the Republican party and go over to the Democrats who are daily murdering people of the race in the South. It is not at all unlikely that this year's corn crop will be 3,000,000,000 bushels. There'll be plenty of hog and hominy for everybody next winter. Elections in the Southern Democratic states are hugh swindles. Keep the Republican party in power so that it can pass a National election law. The Republicans of Washington have endorsed the administration of President Roosevelt and pledge their support and votes in 1904. The best reliance for Republican success this year will lie in the marvelously prosperous state of our agriculture and industry. No victory was ever won without a battle. Remember that and fight for the Republican ticket until the polls close November 4. The Democrats howl about imperialism and militarism in the Philippines, but are silent on mob barbarism in America. The Afro-American has better representation under the present Republican administration than ever before. The Democracy is disrupted and on November 4 will be completely routed. Vote the Republican ticket straight November 4. THE BOOK WORLD Great Ease with Pearline washing, no possible harm. Points that put PEARLINE above every other washing medium.

AUGUST HOLEZIED Complete returns from the primary election leave no doubt as to the candidates who will represent the Republican and the Democratic parties at the November election. The returns from two or three of the 121 precincts in the county are missing, but the vote of neighboring precincts makes it almost certain that the vote of these districts will only emphasize the result. There were more close contests for nominations, esp. for county commissioners. Retu. from 117 precincts give. undersigned note than Pottigeseer, for the Republican nomination for county commissioner, but the missing returns are those of districts in which Pottigeseer ran far ahead of Anderson, and there is little doubt of the result. Frank made a gallant run for the Democratic nominator for county commissioner, but Schneider has lead which inspires him the nomination. Tighe Wins Out. There was no closer contest in the county than for the Republican nomination for representative from the Seventh Lord. It was not until the complete reforestation were the result could be foretold. Tighe wins out by a majority of forty-eight votes. Joel E. Gregory and Walter T. Lemon, both of the Second Ward, secure the Re-publication of the first and second wards. Berg made a strong run, especially in the first ward, but failed to secure many votes. In the second wards, Gregory and Lemon had a strong following. Louis Normandin defeated S. B. Carter for the Republican nomination from the Republican election. The vote was not as close one, and it required the returns from the last pre-incentive to the Republican election. Martin Hax was the winner. The contest between Hardy and Martin for the Democratic nomination for representative from the Fifth ward was also chosen to be Martin. He is renominated by a comfortable margin. The Republican candidates for county offices were nominated by decisive plutilities. C. S. Keller made an excellent run for the Republican to the選抳者 of auditor, and the contest was the closest to Republican side of the fence. E. G. Krahmer, however, forged gradually ahead as his bid was more complete. The race for the nominative clerk of the district court was the closest contest among the Democrats. John Wagener was the nominative by a small but safe plurality. G. R. O'Reilly was the only which surprised even his friends, and the result was not certain until the returns were practically complete. The race for the Republican of W. W. Rich of New Brighton by Dr. Thomas C. Fulton of White Bear in the contest for the Republican nomination for representative from the first district was a surprise to most politicians. The figures show that about 16,000 votes were cast on the primaries, or 3,000 less than last year. But more than 60 percent vote at the primaries is slightly higher than the primaries at Horton-Hurd and Hamilton-Tighe contests in the Seventh ward, which brought the total even above last spring's vote. There is a falling off of about 3,000 votes in the primaries. There is small probability that any of the candidates who win the primaries nominations made at the primaries.

THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS. Next week at the Grand Opera House there will be a re-visit of "The Night Before Christmas". This play will be adapted by the company, credited by both press and public with being one of the best pastoral dramas ever seen in St. Paul. It is this season under the same able managers, and will be presented here with an exceptionally strong company of thirty people. The play is a charming story of pastoral life, founded on real life in the little town of St. Paul, which was born. This season especial attention has been paid to the scenic effect. One of the more notable scenes show the interior of the Old Covenants, a beautiful pit and beautiful stained glass windows complete, while outside is seen the picturesque graveyard bathed in the picturesque moon, the whole presenting a stage of rare beauty. Another elaborate setting is the court room scene wherein the dramatic trial takes place which won for this play the strongest interest of audience is sustained from the scene where. Every detail in keeping with the solemn legal function is minutely carried cut and the almost breathless interst of audience is sustained from the scene.

The Congressional Returns Show Fletcher Nearly a Majority Nominee — There Were Several Very Intense Senatorial Fights, and Nearly as Many Great Surprises. The smoke of Tuesday's great primary battle in Hennepin county, in which upwards of 30,000 voters participated, was a major factor in the final electoral returns late last night. There are many maimed and sadly disappointed on the battlefield, where the great brigade was engaged under command of 248 lead candidates, and the final figures show a much more satisfactory turnout of voters than the earlier returns indicated. The two defeated Recall candidates now quite reconciled to the deceased," Congressman Fletcher's vote is 10,322 with Eugene G. Hay running second with 6,081, and James A. Peterson receiving second with 6,081, and therefore 22,418 in the county. The congressional vote in the country towns on the congressional light to the 20,900 Early in the day Congressman Fletcher has a majority over his two opponents. The vote on congressman wards is as First ward ..... 172 ..... 90 ..... 153 Second ward ..... 772 ..... 539 ..... 311 Third ward ..... 140 ..... 532 ..... 433 Fourth ward ..... 1,332 ..... 1,045 ..... 421 Fifth ward ..... 1,295 ..... 982 ..... 422 Sixth ward ..... 200 ..... 179 ..... 358 Seventh ward ..... 296 ..... 333 ..... 509 Eighth ward ..... 1,213 ..... 970 ..... 383 Nineth ward ..... 362 ..... 181 ..... 381 Tenth ward ..... 439 ..... 152 ..... 421 Eleventh ward ..... 697 ..... 236 ..... 751 Twelfth ward ..... 453 ..... 114 ..... 281 Thirteenth ward ..... 312 ..... 365 ..... 101 Towns ..... 10,992 ..... 6,081 ..... 5,347 Senatorial Surprises. There were many disappointments in the senatorial fights. Several of these contests were so close that the result remained uncertain. These contests were not going to be in the state, we are having defeated by W. D. Washburn, Jr. Carl L. Wallace, former representative, was defeated by the senator C. A. Smith in one of the most interesting senatorial fights. The result is known in Hennepin county: The defeat of John C. Sweet, the former representative who aspired to a seat in the upper branch of the state legislature, came as one of the surprises. Sweet was defeated by Ed Connell, a man thoroughly skilled in the art of politics. The result in senatorial and representative fights was as follows: District— Michael T. Leonard — 533 Otto C. Mackow — 506 Leonard's majority — 27 Thirty-ninth District — 1,524 Dickens G. Cushstock — 1,524 John C. Sweet — 1,978 Comstock's majority — 447 Fortieth District— John F. Calhoun — 1,072 William P.

The court was not completed when it became apparent that while there were, as a matter of necessity, many serious and doubtless painful disappointments over the result of Tuesday's great battle, the court's action was not as well as ever apparent disposition to be reconciled. It will be some time, perhaps, before all soreness is removed. It would seem that there is less soreness than might be exasperating. It would be so far so many and so severe contests would be determined under the old system of caucuses and conventions. Eugene Hay, as soon as it became apparent that Congress was Fletcher was renomized. Said: "Mr. Lind is undoubtedly the Democratic candidate, and, while I have the right to represent all that is dangerous and bad in the Democratic party. Nothing worse than this," he said, in interest of this district than his election to congress, and Mr. Fletcher—if he is the Republican nominee, as now seems to be the case with the hearty support of all Republicans." James A. Peterson, who at times became a powerful toward Congressman Nielter, said; “In connection with my defeat, I have not to be ashamed of in my light for not to be ashamed of in my light for not to contend with, I believe, on the whole, that I made a most satisfactory showing. I have no doubt but that Mr. Fletchner will make a great ticket, and every good Republican will work with that end in view from now until Nov. 4. The party should stand and talk for the entire ticket, I may be defeated, but I am not disgruntled. a blister Slider, or small gunpowder, who would have been slaughtered in the fight that would have been fought in the war. "I am in favor of the straight Republican candidate," he said, as the stump for every candidate nominated, consider any Republican 100 per cent better than any other, and any office. "In Hennepin county was the clean majority of 5,000, and Van Sant, Fletcher, Driger and the entire ticket will certainly win," he said, calling it "time majorities."

Who Celebrates His "Silver Wedding" Today at Fort Harrison, Montana. People Have Been Known to Die from the Insect's Assault In an article on the stings of wasps a British medical journal cities the two following cases which have come under its notice: A strong, healthy girl of 27 was stung on the neck by a wasp and fainted. On regaining consciousness she complained of a general feeling of numbness and partial blindness and vomited; she suffered severe abdominal pain. She recovered in the course of a few hours. Two months later she was stung again, this time on the hand. Her face became flushed, she again complained of numbness and blindness, suddenly became very pale, fainted and died twenty-five minutes after she was stung. Another case was that of a girl of 22 years who was stung by a wasp behind the angle of the jaw. The sting was at once extracted and ammonia applied. In a few minutes she complained of faintness and would have fallen if she had not been supported. He face assumed an expression of great anxiety and a few minutes later she was tossing on the bed, complaining of a horrible feeling of choking and of agonizing pain in the chest and abdomen. Brandy gave no relief. There was wausea, but no vomiting. She rapidly became insensible and died fifteen minutes after receiving the sting. The most probable explanation of such cases seems to lie in what is known as idiocrysor that is, abnormal sensitivity in particular individuals to certain toxic agents. It is well known that people vary much in action on different people. What is a safe dose for one is dangerously large for another. The inability o" some people to eat strawberries or shellfish is another instance of the same phenomena. The active agent of bee stings is generally believed to be formic acid. It, therefore, seems very desirable that we should have more accurate information regarding the action of this drug on different species of the lower animals and through them on man himself. There are many ghostly veils in St. Peter's—the skulls and teeth of several of the apostles, the blood of several martyrs in little crystal globes, a finger of St. Peter covered with rings, a lock of hair from the Virgin Mary, the arm of Lazarus, whom Jesus raised from the tomb, and in the Church of the Cross of Jerusalem, is a crystal reliquary containing what is claimed to be milk from the breast of the Madonna. Every honest man will look you square in the eye; so will some of the greatest scoundrels. THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER UNMATCHABLE OFFERINGS! AT RIGHT PRICES. ..CASH OR CREDIT.
