AGENTS WANTED. THE APPEAL wants good reliable agents to canvass for subscribers at points not already covered. Write tor our extraordinary inducements. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1902 It is generally considered to be the proper thing to speak well of the dead, but Mrs. Carrie Nation seems not to believe that way and she is constantly saying something defamatory of our late president, McKinley. In a speech in Sioux City, Iowa, Tuesday, she denounced McKinley in the most slanderous words, declaring he put less brains into his work than any other president, and called him "the brewers' president." "Don't defame our beloved president," a man in the audience shouted. "He is no beloved president of mine," Mrs. Nation retorted, and then proceeded to abuse McKinley's memory the more. The crowd rose enamuse and would have dragged her from the pulpit but for the protection accorded to her by the officers of the church in which she was speaking. Mrs. Nation has been making a general nuisance of herself long enough and 'tis time she was squelched. A big delegation of Virginia Afro-Americans has called on the president and urged him to appoint James Hays, the Afro-American lawyer of Richmond, as assistant attorney of the Eastern district of Virginia, to succeed Hugh Gordon Miller, who is the present assistant to Edgar Allem. Mr. SPECIAL HOLIDAY SALE O. M. SMITH Confuse us with cheap tailors. Our work is made on the premises, under our personal supervision. Our cutting force is unrivalled in its excellence, and we employ only the finest tailors in St. Paul. Hays is the lawyer who is one of the counsel engaged in the legal efforts to overthrow the new constitution of Virginia, and the delegation calling on the president took the position that his appointment would indicate the disapproval by the administration of the disfranchisement of Afro-American voters in Virginia. The Birmingham Age-Herald says that President Roosevelt has designated Joseph O. Thompson, C. H. Scott, and William F. Aldrich as referees in Alabama to make recommendations for men to be appointed to fill vacancies occurring in political offices in the state. Mr. Thompson has recently been appointed collector internal revenue for the district of Alabama. Mr. Aldrich is an ex-member of Congress, and Mr. Scott is a financier and a well-known Republican. The referees named are opposed to the "Lily White" movement in Alabama. The story is now going the rounds of the Southern rural press that the famous Booker Washington dinner was only a "handout," that Mr. Washington merely ate cold lunch with the president in his office. There is no truth in the statement. Booker Washington was the guest by special invitation of President Roosevelt at sea. All of the members of the family then at home were present and Mrs. Roosevelt poured. Mr. Washington was the only guest present. Recently in Washington a Caucasian woman brought suit under the civil rights bill, because she was refused accommodation in a restaurant. The defendant demanded a trial by jury and deposited $50 as collateral. This was forfeited by his nonappearance when the case was called, thus showing that he had no defense. If the civil rights law is good for Caucasians, why should it not protect the Afro-Americans for whose benefit it was enacted? The daily papers have been filled for some time with accounts of the trial of the Moffitt-Pike case in Chicago and the court room where the trial has been in progress has been crowded daily. The judge in the case has decided that "Baby Jo" is no wife. If the judge had known the history of the plaintiff a little better he would have had less trouble in arriving at that decision. From the latest information received from Africa it would seem that Afro-Americans in the consular service are very much like their Caucasian brothers in the same service in South America. Human nature is very much the same world over, however, it matters not the color of the skin or the texture of the hair. James Hayes, the lawyer and confrere of John S. Wise in the recent unsuccessful attack on the new constitution of Virginia; has filed forty-eight suits for damages against members of the constitutional convention. The suits are for $5,000 damages each and are brought under the common law. The president has appointed George W. Ellis of Kansas, secretary of the legation at Monrovia, Liberia. Mr. Ellis, who is well known in the West, went out to Africa as the private secretary of Hon. John R. A. Crossland, minister to Liberia.

This is one of the most interesting volumes of the year. Memoirs of a Contemporary during the Napoleonic era she was intimately associated with the French Revolution and an adventurer of remarkable personal dating, and possessed of unusual intelligence. She has transmitted to the students of her school the tenets which are at once entertaining and authentic. Immediately succeeding the close of the French Revolution was one of the most brilliant political and military leaders of the French Revolution and throw of the rotten Bourbon dynasty, and all time impermissible interest for the student. For this reason no less than the writer, "The Memoirs of a Contemporary, a book which one lay witness to, describes the volume is profusely illustrated with pictures of the great men of the period, written at the age of fifty years, written at the age of fifty years, described as remarkable strength—not unlike that of the woman she possesses in a marked degree. She describes as being 'serious in his demeanor, cautious in his speech in spite of his mistakes, he affected, and much given to her." Of General Moreau, the masterful strut of the French army, he gallant. The woman he was fondest of was a comebox of him. But he was a sure and devoted friend, to those whom he had been. He was a resolute man; he rarely saw he was cold and reserved. He raised his campaign there as follows: Moreau got the shattered remains of the French army, five thousand men he defied a hostile retreated through Milan and Piedmont yielding only step by step. He garaged several times, and through his skill and several times, and through his numerical superiority of no especial agility. At the battle of Eyleen in Germany she skipped the heavy artillery and wounded. Just before this battle she met Marshal Ney for the first time and writes a very interesting sketch to the "Red Lion" which we got in part. Had I been less well acquainted with Ney's character the strange hostility that set in from the first day of the restoration between his sentiments and his sense of duty would still be an explicable riddle to me.

"Ney has been caluminated by persons who have designed the gentlest and most docile of hearts." "Ney has been caluminated by persons who have designed the gentlest and most docile of hearts." The idea of fixed plan requiring facility in lying was utterly unconcerned with mind which always distinguished him. If he went so far as to forget his obliqueness, the public opinion that condemned the Bourbon king that he saw the welfare of his country. The Great Corsican himself is told of his obliqueness by describing a flirtation which he carried on with her with which is infinitely more highly improbable stories told of Napoleon. The battle of Warburg to which she was an eye witness is described with the people and places which signed the greatest military and political leader in the history of the world. **TRUE HISTORY OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.** The Tragic revolution of the American revolution.

PAUL DAILY NEWS Every day in the year except Sunday for, per year..... $1.00 Outside the City of St. Paul President Fortune Formulates it on the Eve of Leaving the Country. To the Officers and Members of the National Afro-American Council. National Afro-American Council: As I shall leave the United States ahead for the far East, to be absent, perhaps in doing so is the Afro-American Council and its future well-being, as the one organization of the race whose primal object is the preservation and protection of the rights of the Afro-American people. My best thought, sympathy and effort have been devoted, during the past twelve years—dating from the organization of the National Afro-American Council to the paramount necessity of effective race organization for mutual protection and defense of civil rights and mutual interests. Effective organization is the only supreme power in modern society, and the race has been its refusal to recognize and live up to this principle of social security and progress. We have depended too much upon others to realize the race has been its refusal to recognize and live up to this principle of social life; and the man or men who neglect their own interests will find to their sorrow, that others are too. What is everybody's business is nobody's business, is a faithful old saw. The main difficulty with and drawback to the National Afro-American Council today is that it has no substantial basic organization. The mass-education program or support it with their sympathy and money. Its annual conventions are composed of fraternal delegates and delegates representing business and professional interests, who are willing to pay $5 for participation in the deliberations. The organization cease to be active members when the convention adjourns sine dite. The official board of the organization really constitutes the only membership of the National Council from the adjournment of one annual convention to the next. The organization cease, of course, of the state council in California, which has changed from the Afro-American League of California to the Afro-American Council of California at a state convention held at the University of California, at St. Paul, last August. No organization constituted as the National Afro-American Council is today, as to its basic membership, can do the important work mapped out by its founders and expected by the people in this matter will make moving that my action in this matter will be the next annual convention, and hoping that it will result in a basic membership of the council, and basing my action primarily on Article VI of the plan of state organization of the constituent Afro-American Council, I submit the following plan of local organization: 1. Ten persons shall be competent to organize a local council circle to be offered as provided for in Article I of the by-laws for local organization in membership of ten persons by circle to be entitled to one delegate in state conventions upon payment of assessment provided in Article XVIII of plan of state organization and to one delegate in annual National Council conventions upon payment of the tax imposed by the constitution of the National Afro-American Council. 2. Women may organize separate local circles upon precisely the same conditions prescribed for men in specimen papers. 3. Ten circles may organize a state council, as provided by Article IX of the national constitution. I sincerely hope, in every community where there are ten persons congenial to each other and interested in the welfare of the race, that they will once organize a local council circle. I am reasonably certain that the women the race will take hold of the work. When this meeting next year at Louisville there should be at least five hundred circles reported and represented. William A. Pledger, first vice-president of the National Afro-American Council, is hereby authorized to act as president during my absence. T. THOMAS FIELD. President. CYRUS FIELD' ADAMS. Secretary. Dated at Redbank, N. J., December, 1902. REV. MORRIS ON THE RACE QUESTION. Smarting under reflections cast upon Afro-Americans by other speakers at the Baptists Congress, now being held in the First Baptist church, the Rev. Charles S. Morris, D. D., of New York, started the audience at Tuesday night by a fiery defense of his people in the church, created sensation. It was plain, but warm, but logical; altogether, as able and effective a defense of the race by one of its number as has been heard in Boston for some time. Dr. Morris started the audience by saying: "It seems to me that medicine is so-called, is discussed in very much the same way that medicine is administered to a horse. We never ask the horse what the matter is with him; we simply diagnose his disease and make him take our prescription. What is our skulls and our muscles, our skulls are gradually enlarging and our brains are all right; our hearts are in the right place, our lungs are in excellent condition, as you may see if you attend our prayers meetings. Our doctors are to be a sort of skin disease, and it has a terrible Nigerian "killer." It is only one-sixteenth of an inch deep, but it is the cause of the whole "Negro problem." REV. IRL R. HICKS 1903 ALMANAC. To say that this splendid work of science and art is finer and better than ever, is stating it mildly. The demand for it is far beyond all previous than such results, reaching through HICKS. You are not based upon sound sense and usefulness, is an insult to the intelligence of the millions. Prof. Hicks, through this great Almanac, and his famous family and scientific journal, WORKS, is doing a work for the whole purpose by any other man or publication. A fair test will prove this to any reasonable person. Added to the most luminous course in astronomy for 1903, forecasts of storms and weather are never before, for every day in the year.

PAUL, MINN. 2014 WITH every step, the sole of your shoe must bend. The proper place for it to bend is at the "ball" of the foot—never at the instep. To make it bend at the "ball" things are necessary—the sole must be extremely flexible while the shank or arch must be extremely rigid. Most shoes bend at the shank, thus losing their shapeliness and tiring the weak arch of the foot. That is what makes walking for most women so fatiguing.
