The Appeal

THE APPEAL KEeps IN FRONT BECAUSE: 1- It aims to publish all the news possible. 2- It does so in fact, usually, without no words. 3- Its correspondents are able and energetic. FATE DEALS UNKINDLY WITH WOULD-BE REFORMER. Youth Who Rebuked Fat Man For Promiscuous Expectoration Gets Into Serious Difficulty—Coarse Man Wipes Up Floor With Him. A fat man—fat and apparently coarse, and with a predilection for bullying over the common people— attired up a big rumpus yesterday morning on the Staten Island ferry boat Robert Garrett, which left St. George at 7:10 o'clock. This person chewed tobacco with a noticeable vehemence, and with conciseness and frequency he was obliged to dispose of the usual by-product. It was the fat man's method of disposing of his by-product that made the rumpus. Perhaps there were cuspidors, but the fat man didn't hunt for them. He picked out vacant spots on the floor instead. There were women passengers, and some of them became almost panicky. Then it was that a small, heroic man made his appearance. He was a young man with pale-blue eyes, a silim waist, and an unhailing expression around his chin. He had dodged the big man's hydraulic efforts once or twice, and felt called upon to do something. He might have chosen a more original remark, but under the great mental encouragement he resorted to the old man. Catching the fat man's eyes he said, angrily: "Do you expect to mate yourself as a gentleman?" (Swish!) "Huh!" said the fat man. "Then you expectate on the floor" added the young hero. A lot of "serves-you-right-you-horrid-thing" looks from the women rewarded the young man, who thought he had done his whole duty. Perhaps he had, but—he had far more relapsed from his contemptuous mood into one of strenuous action. He reached forth his big, chubby body, and hooked them fast to the clothes of the young hero with the pale blue eyes. Then he bore down on the little fellow and doubled him half up like a knife, and by sliding him backward and forward on the floor across the area of his temporary tobacco-chewing domain, he removed all traces of wet brown from the cabin. There was plenty of feeling over this incident. The young man didn't like it. He was in an uncomfortable position, as he afterward asserted with great positiveness. The aim sought for had been practically achieved, but the means—the means! There was the rub! He was incensed at the rub. Several coarse men gurgled with glee, others swore right out, and the women set up such a clatter that the attention of deckhands was attracted. One of these hands was abashed. The other, with eyes of introspection had enabled him to observe proper sanitary precautions. The deckhands "went for" the fat man, but he wrigled between the horses and trucks and lost himself in the crowd at the opposite end of the boat. The young man with the discouraged-looking trousers and determined air was hot foot all over the boat after the large person, but could not find him. With the deckhands he stationed himself at the gangway when the passengers left the boat at the Battery, confident of catching the large person. He made sure to be clear just how, the 220-pound offender wrigled past them and went on his walk, while the young hero, after watching until the last man had stepped ashore, went to his office chewing the bitter cut of reflection—New York Tribune. Drifting Away. I read in your bright eyes the dreams of life's day: But I'm drifting away from you—drifting away I am drifting away From life's storm and its star— And would I could answer the prayer that you pray But I'm drifting away, dear—I'm drifting away! I would strike from your life-road the therms that would slay! But I'm drifting away from you-drifting away The warmth the pain You may strive with in vain. I would bear, but I go; and I come not afraid I'm drifting away, dear—I'm drifting away! You must reap for yourself in life's winter and May: For I'm drifting away, dear—I'm drifting away I have a bite you bread And a shelter o'breed; And may God light the lonely, long way you must tread— For I'm drifting away, dear, I'm drifting away— Frank Stanton in Atlanta Constitution. Why Willie Passed Up the Ham. Willie had been particularly impressed with that part of the catechism which recounted the things he saw in his life, "promised and vowed in his name." So when the grandmother said sweetly: "Willie, dear, won't you have some devilled ham?" he looked at her sternly and replied: "No, grandma. You know I have renounced the devil and all his works." A Work-weary Suicide. John McCartney, a 16-year-old, work-eary lad, employed by a dairy-man, living in Baltimore, shot and killed himself in his employer's home Monday.

At Manchester, writes a London correspondent to the Atlanta Constitution, a brewery has been established where they make beer of a superior quality—and then throw every drop of it away. It then matures in the brewery as if it were desired like that brewed at Burton last summer for the table of the king himself, but its inevitable fate is to be poured into the sewers with a ruthlessness that would delight the heart of Mrs. Nation. The explanation of the rather surprising procedure is that the beer thus sacrificed is the product of a sort of school of brewing run by the municipality of Manchester. This provincial city is a progress place and some time ago it started to a municipal school of technology, at which every trade practiced in the north of England should be taught practically. When the school was opened it was found that quite a number of its students were anxious to learn the brewing business, so it was decided to add a model brewery, on a small scale, to the rest of the technical equipment. When the matter was matters over the governor, the Manchester city fathers were told that they could not be allowed to start their miniature brewery unless they would agree that every particle of its output should be destroyed. And at regular intervals since the brewery was started an excise inspector has dropped in to make sure that there is no mistake about this. The added part of the governor's order to have sampled the beverage made by the municipal students of brewing said that it is first-class. How They Rose. The kind-hearted lady missionary was canvassing in the outskirts of Brooklyn, when she came across two tramps lying on a pile of warm furnace slag. One of them was about the worst looking tramp on earth and the other was an easy second. After the usual preliminaries, and offers of some slight assistance, the kind lady said: "Now, my men, tell me, please, how you came to this state." "We walked, mum," said the worst looking of the pair. "You misunderstand me, my good man. I mean, how did you come to the condition in which I find you? Tell me, both of you. I want to use the information for object lessons." On yes, I understand you now, mum. W-a-l, I have no hesitation in sayin' that whatever I am owe to my mother," responded the one who first acted as spokesman. "An 'as you me, miss,' said the other, 'I own with a degree of pride and satisfaction that I am entirely a selfmade man.'" New York Times. The Nation.

Miss Florence Lindley, a school teacher of Brown county, Kansas, years ago made him aware that there must be possibilities in the Indian territory. So she saved her salary and bought seventy-two lots in the little town of Sapulpa, paying the Indian owner a trifle under $4 for each lot. The Indian rued his action and when the courthouse and many real estate records were burned not long ago he brought suit, claiming the young woman never touched the trial and testified under the land was not paid for Miss Lindley brought forward his receipt for the amount in full; which she had preserved. The Indian is on trial for perjury. The town lots in question are valued at not less than $15,000.

Southern Democrats are Beginning to Taste the Fruits of the Policy Which Develops Natural Resources and Builds Up Some Industries. The wonderful transition that has taken place in the Southern states in the past twenty-five years from a purely agricultural to a manufacturing section is brought into view by Senator McLaurin of South Carolina, in an article in the New York Commercial Advertiser of Feb. 25. In a generation, says Senator McLaurin, South Carolina has become a competitor of Massachusetts for first place in cotton manufacture, and Birmingham has become a formidable rival of Pittsburgh in iron and steel production. And yet the South has only begun to cultivate the edge of the vast field of her industrial possibilities. One half of all the timber that stands in the United States is south of the Mason and Dixon line. Only one among a number of Southern states possessing great coal deposits, has more luminous coal than Pennsylvania, much more iron ore than Pennsylvania, and ten times timber than Pennsylvania. In view of the enormous industrial development that has already taken place in the South, and the still more enormous industrial possibilities, Senator McLaurin says: "Consideration of these facts has YOU GUARDIOT TO KNOW WHY MY BROTHER BEEN STANDING IN FRONT OF STORE FOR THIRTY E YOU CAN'T WIN GRASS JUMP SAMPSON YOU OWN'T TO KNOW ME WHAT MY BROTHER 'S BREED STANDING OUT IS FRONT OF A FUR PART STORE FOR THESE PART THIRTY FIVE YEARS MY TWO SONS ARE ASMING ME ABOUT THE ELMING-LAW YOU CAN'T QUES'M WHAT I AM! WHAT LODGE DO YOU BELOW TO TEDDY RELEASE SAMPSON RENEWING HIS STRENGTH IN THE WILDERNESS. led to a great change in the views of many of our leading men on the tariff question. When the Dingley bill was being framed I was a member of the Ways and Means committee of the House of Representatives, and I took the position that in framing a bill with the avowed object of protecting American industries South Carolina was entitled to just as much of the benefits to accrue from the tariff as was the Massachusetts bill, I think that the Dingley bill was the only tariff bill ever framed wherein the slightest attempt was made to protect southern industries. It is not a question of whether one was for or against the principle of protection. If we were going to raise our revenues by means of the tariff it necessarily meant that there was more or less protection under it, and that in adjusting duties we should consider the various industries and industries that I have in the Southern industry that could be benefited by the tariffs where there was not just as much clamor for it as there was for any industry in any other section of the country. If anybody will take the pains to investigate what a reasonable and proper adjustment of the schedule on rice and lumber has done for the various Southern states he cannot fall to be convinced of the wisdom of this course. Since the passage of the Dingley bill have been no longer tariff legislation, and therefore have been so satisfactory that, for my part, I hope there will not now be any tariff agitation. We are going along very well on this line, and it is wise to let well enough alone." It is a curious anomaly in political conditions and tendencies that just at a time when a considerable element in the Republican party is turning toward free trade through direct or Defective Page indirect tariff revision—revision through legislation or by the roundabout and checked route of reckprociity in competitive products—at this identical time the Democratic party in the Southern states is veering squarely around, away from free trade and toward protection. To find in a Democratic senator from South Carolina a better protectionist than you can find in one of Iowa's Republican senators can inform you that paradoxical explanation would seem that Democrats in the South are just beginning to taste the full fruitage of protection prosperity, and they like it and want more of it, while certain Republicans in the North are afraid of too much prosperity and are planning to have less of it. A singular state of things, truly! EVIDENCES OF PROSPERITY. Continued Harvesting of the Fruits of Protection The season of prosperity which began when President McKinley, soon after his inauguration, called a special session of Congress to restore the protective tariff, not only continues but steadily improves. Not a day passes that news does not come of some increase of wages affecting large classes of men, or of the inguination of new enterprises or the enlargement of old ones, giving enlarged opportunities for profitable employment. The wage scales are brought about by conferences between employers and employees, which is a most hopeful sign of the times. In a few cases the increases are made voluntarily by employers, in a few they are the result of strikes or controver ME I'VE NOT FUR- THESE PAST ME YEARS MY TWO SONS ARE ASKING ME ABOUT THE ELMINS-LAW RENEWING HIS STRENGTH IN THE W sides of an unpleasant though less costly nature. So long as present conditions prevail it seems probable that trouble involving a temporary suspension of business and consequent loss to both sides, with more or less damage to the public welfare, will grow fewer, or perhaps even cease altogether. Yesterday it was announced that the 4,000 bricklayers of Chicago had secured a general advance of 40 cents per day by conferences with representatives of the contractors. The new scale, which advances the rate of pay to 60 cents per hour, is to stand for three years. Could the same reason be the method of arranging schedules prevail in all employments we might look forward with confidence to a continuance of the present prosperous era for an indefinite period. At present there are no indications of an interruption in the present rate of progress. So far as can be foreseen there is not likely to be any tilt attempt is made again to repeal those salutary laws which make our property possible.—Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

Combination of Clerical Error and Hard-Hearted Female Inspector Involved Buffalo Man in No End of Tribulation. Because a carless booking agent substituted Eleanor for the name Edward, a man from Buffalo, who with his family was a passenger on one of the biggest and fleetest liners afloat, had no end of trouble the other day with the immigration inspectors when he started to land at the pier in the North river. The big ship arrived on the quarantine station about 7 o'clock in the morning, and after the health authorities had finished with her the immigration and customs inspectors started about their business. One of the immigration inspectors was a female. She made a thorough canvass of the cabit of every woman who had no right to land. Every woman had proved her right to land, with the single exception of Mice Eleanor Jones—call it—who could not be found. The inspector searched high and low for the missing Eleanor, but there was "nothing doing." Finally she appealed to a woman passenger to help her out. "Can you tell me where I can find Miss Eleanor Jones?" asked the inspector. "Of course I can," answered a de-mure looking maiden; "she isn't on WHAT LODGE DO YOU BELOW TO RELEASE LDERNESS. board, for a Mr. Edward Jones happens to be the Eleanor in this case. "Oh, do find him; I would so like to see a man named Eleanor," said the eager inspector. "There he is; but don't tell him I told you about the mistake on the passenger list for he has been very touchy on that subject during the trip." Walking up to where the man was standing, the inspector demanded to know if he was "Miss Eleanor Jones." "You bet your life my name is not Eleanor," was the emphatic reply from the man from Buffalo; "my name is Edward, plain Ed, and if I ever get my hands on that fool booking agent you an stake your bottom dollar he won't make any more mistakes like this. I am very sorry, Miss Jones." "Don't you call me Miss Jones, for I am not a miss, but plain Mr. Jones, the father of a family of six, and as good an American citizen as any man on the ship. "I can't help that; you are not on the passenger list, or the manifest either, as Edward Jones, and since you say you are not Eleanor Jones, I will be expected in charge about your case and ask you detention as a stowaway pending the untangling of this mess." Mr. Jones pleaded for clemency, but the feminine inspector, who had by this time been reinforced by the arrival of an inspector of the masculine kind, was obdurate and said that she could not change the law, and that Mr. Jones would have to take his medicine. Jones was then told that he could not leave the boat with the other passengers, and the inspectors went to the steerage to take a look at the people in that department. The liner was almost docked by this time and Jones in desperation appealed to the purser for assistance. The purser, apprehending his predicament, at once ordered a steward to look up the cabin manager as soon as the gang-plank was in place and request his immediate presence in his office. This the steward did, and the manager, on boarding the liner, was told the circumstances. The immigration inspector was then sent for by the two men, and the two went into executive session. The manager told the immigration man that the line would pay the stowaway fine, and after a lengthy confab succeeded in convincing the man from Ellis Island that the mistake was an innocent one, and that the detained passenger was in reality an American citizen. Security was then given for the request of Jones and a steward was sent to his room to inform him that all was right and that he might rejoin his family on the dock—Philadelphia Ledger. Idea of a Genius Economy of production was one of the subjects touched on by Prof. H. W. Wiley in an after dinner speech last week before the New York Society of Medical Jurisprudence. Referring to new methods that are being brought into operation and their practicality he said: "I simply wish to mention, without exactly recommending it, this suggestion from an agricultural source. It comes from a man who proposes to plant onions with his potatoes, with the idea that the tear-making qualities of his onions may act on the eyes of the potatoes, and make the latter crop self-irrigating—New York Times. A Story of Apple Tart. A well-known novelist tells an amusing story of his father, an English rector, and Sir Henry Thompson, the surgeon and authority on food. Sir Henry was called in and prescribed a certain diet, particularly warning the patient against apple tart, for which the reverend gentleman had a great partiality. "Oh, but, Sir Henry," pleaded the patient, "mayn't I have a diet of apples, Sunday? We all have it for dinner then." "Sir," replied Sir Henry in severe tones, "do you imagine that your stomach is any different on Sunday from what it is on other days? Good morning."-London Lookout THE FARMER'S VIEW. He Objects to the Unrestricted Competition of Canada's Cheap Agricultural Products. Writing to the Michigan Farmer, Dr. E. R. Ellis displays good sense, good economics and good Americanism. He says, regarding the entry into a reciprocity dicker with Canada; "With their cheap land and cheap labor and a free open market here, Canadians could so flood all the border states with their products that the blight would be felt by every large and small producer in our Northern states. We had an experience of that forty years ago, when our markets were crowded with poultry, eggs, lambs and all manner of garden truck from across the river, to the great detriment of all such producers on this side. It will be most unwise to try that again. Canada now sends us much of her best product in her surplus young men and women, are assisting in the vintage to trade, but would it be so with free trade? Most assuredly not. They would stay at home, earn and spend their money there and enrich their own country at our expense or by profits made out of our open markets." This is the American farmer's view of Canadian reciprocity. He does not think he should be exposed to competition with the cheaper labor and the lower-priced farm lands across the border, and he will naturally and rightly resent the adoption of a policy which deprives him of Dingley tariff protection for the benefit of the manufacturing interests. In Case of a Surplus. When supply overtakes demand in the steel industry, so that the American product is equal to it or in excess of the demands of this market, should there be a reduction of tariff duties in response to the demands of tariff reformers, it would encourage the stockups upon the American market at a price lower than the domestic manufacturer could meet. Every ton of this surplus, so disposed of here, would take the place of an equal amount of the American product and thus operate to reduce the American output and limit the opportunity for employment of American workers. When supply overtakes demand, American manufacturers should not be criticised, but rather encouraged, to dump their supplies supplies, if any they have, upon any market which can absorb them, even at a price much below that paid at home, and even at a loss, rather than that such a surplus should remain in the market, depressing prices below the margin of fair profit, and thus soon on late forcing a cessation in production, to reduce in production would mean the loss of employment to many; the reduction of consumption in other departments of trade, through a reduction in the consumptive capacity of those engaged in the iron and steel industry, and a general disturbance to trade, which would proceed with a cumulative effect through every avenue of industry.—Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

FUN IN "SMALL ADS" UNINTENTIONAL HUMOR FOUND IN NEWSPAPERS. Some Strange and Curious Ways Adopted to Make Wants Public—"Choice Villain" Offered for Sale—"Experienced Bug" Called for. It may be that the funny man is not always original. Anyhow, he apparently devotes the beat days of his life trying to make other people feel jolly—when they read his paragraphs in the newspapers. Be that no man needs to be a professional humorous in order to get awful lot of fun sometimes out of the newspaper advertisements. To while away the time recently the writer busied himself the greater part of an entire day delving through a pile of dailies and weeklies. The work was done through mere curiosity, pretty much as "work" is done by the backwoodsman who with his shoulder trumps curly hair in his shirt, brushes to what he can get a shot at. There was no thought of fun search in the reading of the papers at the start. The fun cropped up as the reading progressed. The "work" became not a labor, but a decided amusement. Now, then, for some of the best specimens discovered: "Silnners wanted to work on metal," one advertisement began. "One newspaper had in another newspaper of the same date. But Cote was a slight difference between the two "ads." The word "silnners" read "spinners." Another "ad" in another paper was just as good in its way. It was: "Patent leather men's shoes at reduced rates." The following one was all right. At least it told the truth: "For Sale—A Scotch collie thoroughly trained; can tell black from white, especially at night." Now I did the advertiser in the following think of when he left out the small ladies: "Large ladies' neckwear house desires to secure a city salesman; state age," etc. The following is a good one: "Lost—Dog answering to the name of Gypt; can wait on both legs." Listen to this: "Between Union Square and Twenty-third street." Here is one that may have been written by a husband who suddenly remembered, after he had been to his "lodge," that his wife had given him verbal instruction to have an "ad" inserted in a daily paper of this city: "Board without lunch table, must be too good; one bed." What the advertiser meant to say, as the corrected "ad" the next day showed, was that breakfast and dinner no lunch, were wanted; that the table no lunch, and that the two persons wanted only one bed. Here is a weird one: "For Sale—A choice villain, Whitestone, L. I; fishing, boating." The fact is, the advertisement published the next day, properly, made it plain that the advertiser had a villa in Whitestone which he regarded as choice, and he so described it. An advertisement appeared in a newspaper that advertised which out a second time, but in quite a new form. Whether the original shape was the result of the hasty work of the advertiser or the typo is a question. This is the way it came out first: To Let - Cottage at New Rochelle, face the Sound, good mosquitoes. The "ad" app inviting when republished in a reformed condition with two words that had been forgotten by the advertiser in his hurry not to miss his train for New Rochelle, or by the man behind the types. It read thus: "To Let - Cottage at New Rochelle, face the Sound, good bathing, no mosquitoes. The following is a decidedly good one: "Wanted by a commission house, an experienced bug to assort samples of woolen goods. The same advertiser sent another paper asked not for a bug, but a boy. WAS HEARING IT ALL. Not Listening, But He Missed Little of the Conversation. She was on the street car, and her girl friend was with her. She had a shrill, catarral voice, and persisted in telling her companion all the innermost secrets of her own and of her relatives and acquaintances to the remotest degree, in a tone that filled all the space not occupied by a dozen fellow passengers. She was particularly minute in the relation of the dearly missed presentation of a ring by "Johnny whom she is to marry this spring." This episode was finished as the car was nearing Cobb's creek. The passenger who sat in the seat immediately in front of her, and who had, in consequence of this proximity, been the chief sufferer, turned his head toward the lady who would not keep any secrets, and fixed on her a look that eloquently said: "Well, you're broken the record!" She shouted, took in the situation instanter, and retorted promptly and incisively: "Are you listening to our conversation, sir?" "I'm not listening to it, miss," he replied, in a distressed tone, "but, by thunder, I'm hearing it all." Except for the occasional titter of the crowd, the reverence of corked reef regained supreme the remainder of that trip—Philadelphia. Ledger. HAVE YOU READ THE ARPEAL? PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY ADAMS BROS.

The most eloquent Henry Watterson was the principal speaker before the Hamilton Club at the Auditorium in Chicago last week and made a memorable speech. It was one of the kind that several white men have made recently, though his was somewhat better, of course. The ubiquitous "Negro Problem" was the principal, the most important topic, and Mr. Watterson proceeded to solve it as most white men do. Just as the white man divided the turkey and buzzard with the Indian, never once saying turkey for anyone but himself. He said: "Our government rests upon the theory that we are equal shareholders in a common property." "Good citizenship imposes upon each of us the duty of entertaining his own convictions and of living up to them, but he becomes little other than a bigot who thinks more of himself on this account and loves his neighbor less because that neighbor, exercising the same right, does the same thing." That doctrine is all right, we can subscribe to it, but Mr. Watterson intends that it shall only apply to whites. If the Afro-Americans are not entitled to citizenship in this country and to all the rights, privileges and blessings that go with it, we would like to know how any one can be more entitled to the same. There is not a corporal's guard of native Africans in this country. All the Afro-Americans here and for generations before were born here. There has never been a struggle for the independence and rights of this country from the Declaration of Independence to the war still in progress in the Philippines, in which the Afro-American was not found, always fighting to uphold his country. The Afro-American is entitled to citizenship by right of birth, that is the only way by which Mr. Watterson is entitled to the same. Then the people of this country enacted amendments to the constitution confirming these God given rights. Mr. Watterson says, where there is one Afro-American fit for citizenship there are myriads wholly unfit. In other words, an Afro-American to be fitted for citizenship must be a Douglass, a Longston, a Bruge or a Booker Washington. We would like to ask if the hundreds of thousands of ignorant foreigners who flock to our shores every year until they number millions and who in a few months become full-fledged citizens are the peers of Douglass or Langston or Bruce or Washington? Are the millions of deplorably ignorant and morally low whites of this country the peers of those men? Yet there is no attempt to restrict them in any direction or respect what ever. The one thing, the only thing needed in this country to make a full-fledged good citizen, is to be a Caucasian. Afro-Americans cannot be Caucasians though there are many of them that it would take seven Philadelphia lawyers to prove them not to be. And there are many thousands who pass as Caucasians that are no more so than many of their brothers who ally themselves with their darker-hued kindred. It is a nice state of affairs that we must teach our boys that they cannot vote when they become of age because there is African blood in their composition, although their fathers and their fathers' fathers and their fathers' fathers were born in this country. The disfranchisement of the Afro-Americans in the south is all wrong and Mr. Watterson and Mr. Everybody else who claimed to believe it is right knows he is wrong when he says so. We have no objection to restrictive laws in reference to suffrage but they must apply alike and be applied alike to every would be voter. The trouble with the whites in reference to the Afro-Americans is that they haven't got the beams out of their own eyes and therefore cannot see clearly how to get the motes out of their brother's eyes. Dr. F. G. Lydston at meeting of the Physicians' club held recently in Chicago said: "The only solution of the 'Negro Problem' in the south is the intermarriage of the Negro with the white." The full-blooded Negro in a few years will outnumber the whites and claim for himself in verity what now is only his in theory. By an intermingling of the blood of the two races the Negro in time will be eliminated. The Caucasian is the stronger race and the Negro must succumb. "The moral status of the Negro will never be raised until the moral status of the white man is raised. Negroes are lynched in the south for crimes for which white men receive no punishment. Were the people of this country to light a few white bonfires instead of so many black ones there would be an immediate clearing of the atmosphere and the blight which has spread over this country would begin to disappear." Dr. C. S. Bacon, Rev. R. A. White and other speakers dealt with the educational feature of the Negro problem. The great Caucasian pastime of the South had another out break Wednesday evening. And it was not rapa that caused it, either. This time it occurred as far North as Joplin, Mo. The insatiate mob of murderers did not stop at murdering the one man who was only suspected of the crime, and was unknown, but they drove the peacable Afro-Americans from their homes and burned their houses and terrorized them in every way. It is awful to live in a country where the color of one's skin is equivalent to the brand of coin, and causes every (white) man's hand to be against you. Ex-President Cleveland was the principal speaker at a meeting held in Madison Square Garden, New York, Tuesday night in the interest of Tuskegee Institute. He made an excellent address emphasizing the idea that education was the thing which would most help to solve the "Negro Problem." His remarks throughout were punctuated with earnest and vigorous emphasis. THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER NEW BOOKS THE NIGHT SIDE OF LONDON. Vatican Museum.

Owl and other must sleep well, if you mean to do t The Night Side of London," by Robert Machray, is an unusually interesting book. The illustrations by Tom Brown are drawn with skill and enhance the interest one takes in it. The pen of the author and pencil of the artist are both used with fine effect in laying care the infinite variety of human characters and types whose contrasts are more striking in London than even in Paris or else where the great and populous characters of human vicors and virtues. So vivid is the author's description of the human flotsam and jetsam, coming and going with the nights, in Picadilly, like unto the ebb and flow of the eternal tides; and so picturesquely has the artist interpreted the author's ideas and illusions that we fancy ourselves promenading and parading up and down the illuminated scenes of Picadilly at night, entering the "lounges" and cafes, which stand with inviting appearance along the streets, and participating in the gay and pleasure-bent page-try of the crowd or catching in silence and pity the moral and physical cripples whose names are lerson there. "It is a scene that stirs the fancy and touches the imagination. As the theatres and music halls of London empty themselves into the streets, the Circus is full of the flashing and twinkling of the multitudinous lights of hurrying hansoms, of many carriages speeding homeward to supper, of streams of people, men and women, mostly in evening dress walking along, smiling and jesting, and talking of what they have been to see. You catch charming glimpses in the softening electric light of slyph-like forms, pink flushed, happy faces, snowy shoulders hidden in lace or chiffon, or cloaks of silk and satin. Diamonds sparkle in my lady's hair; her light laughter ripples over to you, and you smile responsive; a faint fragrance perfumes the wandering air, and the vision sweeps past you, on outside your radius. And there are many such visions, each with its own story. Its own revelation—but with these we have nothing to do, further than to say that they are all part of this pageant of the night." And of the London half-word the author says they faint themselves in all their bravery; the majority of them indeed are not of them are foreigners, but most of them are unmistakely English. Some have bold eyes, some have not. They seem to be the ones who fight and of them! And all sorts and sizes, so to say, all fond of a kiss and fond of a. The night side of London "high life" on the surface exudes a certain vitality and in all essentials it differs a little from the night life began. Its main feature is, as it has always been, and always will be, the extraordinary notwithstanding, the pursuit of pleasure in an everlasting Vanity Fair. It is quickly or slowly, according to the toughness of one's physical and moral digestion, passes into moral life among the working people and their amusements; sketches of the social outcasts and the human endeavors of human vice—are drawn with skill and without comment, the author simply painting the faces of the endeavors to teach no lesson in morals. The book ought to have a large sale. MISSSSIPPII HISTORICAL SOCIETY. Publications of the Mississippi Historical Society, Vol. VL, Edited by Franklin L. Riley, Secretary. Pp. 568.

A discussion of the Reconstruction of the South from the view point of the South and in the light of the present agitation from the front of the South is interesting to note some things contained in the reconstruction. It is deeply interested in this time, when the passions aroused by the "Great War" are repaired by the tranquility and repose of a patriotic and remitted people, past events can be examined in the draw of the conclusion in respect to the war and motives of its advocates; and to understand the States declined to accept the terms of construction thus proposed by Congress. The criticism made by Mr. Blain and the Republican leaders of that time was the first of the South action, was characterized by a lack ofీ, which was not as quickly, and that the attitude taken by them forced Congress to make negro suffrage the final basis of reconstruction. The anti-Conservacy movement in which the South now held an in-law in which the following: "Mr. Lincoln had contemplated a reconstruction of the Southern States largely under the au- government, which plan would have restored the Southern States to representation in the Union on liberal and magnanimous terms." If Mr. Lincoln had lived, his large personal and political influence united with his tact and wisdom, might have smoothed the way to a pacification of the South. Mr. Johnson was looking in all those qualities, and with his differences between the Executive and Congress which Mr. Lincoln would have revealed and adjusted assumed the proportion of the "Mr. Lincoln was a patriot as well as a great statesman, and under his auspices it is improbable that the South could have been crushed between the two, and the Congress would not be the same.

Roth. $20.00. New York: A. S. Barnes & Co. "Bird Gods," by Charles De Kay. With Decorations by John B. Roth. $20.00. New York: A. S. Barnes & Co. The author not only tells us what birds are, but also tells us the philosophy of such worship, and tells us its reasion, in fables and anecdotes. We take the woodpecker as an instance. When we picture to ourselves the Eurasian woodpecker, puffed-up race, finding it a matter of deep thought how to keep a roof over its nest, and how to keep it to the week, cringing before power, subject to periodical famines because of his lack of food, and admiration of his laziness and filthy habits, we can understand his envy and admiration of his wealth, and his very virtuous, superhuman traits, has the practical side so developed that it can chisel the woodpecker into a tree, in the bole of a tree—a bird ever gay of heart that seems to find nourishment in the thing grows, right under its bushy feet. "Mr. Woodpecker was thought to know where we were abducted. "A hidden treasure somewhere," he said. "A high god Ukko of the Finnns and has a thunder god. He then proceeds to tell us of the power the woodpecker exerted over the Romans at the time of Hammur. "The importance of the woodpecker in the Roman army hardly be overestimated. I have a seal, with a bird before him, which he appears to be teaching a trick. That the woodpecker sonably certain from the fact that he wears a crown with Etruscan inscription in the Vatican Museum. Then follows several very interesting anecdotes anent the mysterious power for good or evil clustering about the little winged god. The Cuckoo, Peacock, Owl and other birds have in turn been worshipped by the early European races—by the Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, Abyssinians and other powerful races who wrought so mightily in days of antiquity. The author further tells us that "it is recorded of King Edward the First of England that on a certain solemn occasion in the year 1304, his investiture as a knight, two swans decorated with gold nets, were brought in, and he thereupon swore an oath to the God of Heaven on these two swans. --- CHURCH BUILDING.

HOW TO LIVE. How to Live. By Edward Everett Hale. "How to Live," by Edward Everett Hale, is one of the most entertaining vol- tues on practical ethics which we have 1956-60. "The ripe scholarship, wide experience and practical sense of the distinguished teacher, is luminously manifested than in this volume. One may form some idea of the compere- ment's experience to the subjects treated of: "How to Sleep," "How to Exercise," "How to Train," "How to Survive," "How to Know God," "How to Bear Your Brother's Burden," are some of the chap- ter's writings, carefully written and entertaining narratives.

Do not cultivate, do not permit any of the sentimental nonsense which speaks as if sleep were a matter of chance, or were quit of your control. You must sleep well, if you mean to do the rest well. You must have body and mind in good working order; and they will not be in good working order unless you sleep readily, steadily and enough. Then follows a physiological analysis of the brain and body, and the effect produced upon both by unrest and sleeplessness. "How to Exercise," follows this chapter, and the author shows his easy familiarity with the whole range of physical culture, both ancient and modern, and gives many useful hints to those unhappy mortals who are addicted to the "drug habit," and whose maladies are easily traceable to the lack of the proper physical exercise. "How to Think" and "How to Study," are chapters of unusual brilliancy, told in the simplest possible way, and yet you feel the genius of the author in every line. --- THE ART OF THE VATICAN.

ROMANCE OF THE COMMONPLACE The Romance of the Commonplace. By Gayle B. McCarthy. San Francisco. Paul Elder and Morgan Shepard. This is a volume of modern philosophy, and it is a volume of modern philosophy, famous by Jerome K. Jerome. Mr. Burgess says many clever things in his book, and one may glance at any chapter and find a few interesting facts in a very uncommon manner. "The desire to tell secrets," writes the author, but once an epidemic begins it is hard to forget. "The page is very unreliable. Tell you that it will not end until it dies out. But above all never confide to her who asserts she never has forgotten anything. A seed sown in fertile ground, it will germinate and flower long after you have forgotten it, and bring forth fruit you planted." Again: "Flattery is, however, an edged tool. It is not a tool that does not everyone who has the tact to decide at a glance just how much his victim will.

This drama, which was first presented at Madrid on January 30, 1901, made a deep impression on the Spanish people. It was written to give expression to the author's ambition for his country and his countrymen, and to urge them to social and political renovation. It is especially timely and interesting to American readers, as showing the contemporaneous trend of opinion in Spain, which but little understood on this side of the water. In its present form, the first school edition published in this country, the book contains the necessary notes, as well as a complete vocabulary.

Wilson at the Grand Opera House there is announced the initial appearance in this city and in the Northwest of "The Little Church Around the Gate," a quaint, pathetic story of to-day which has met with splendid success this season throughout the East. The play-deals with the happenings that beset the married existence of a young couple whose weddings in "The Little Church" was an event of considerable importance. The husband is deceived by the man he considers his best friend. The young wife, however, guided by the influence of the church, continues in the path of virtue and even though beset by THE APPALAIC NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER BIG Clothing Sale $10 Suits and Topcoats, WORTH TO $15. $12 Suits and Topcoats, WORTH TO $18. $15 Suits and Topcoats, WORTH TO $25.

It is hard to kill some men, and Harry Shepherd, the photographer, is an evidence of the fact. Some weeks ago Shepherd met with a peculiar accident. In experimenting with the chemicals which form a sensitive film, he cut his hand with glass, and through the wound introduced apparently a small portion of bichloride a cyanide potassium into his circulatory system. A severe and dangerous case of pyemia was set up and it has required all that medical skill could accomplish to save his life. Thirty-two separate operations were necessary and in cases incisions of three inches were made to reduce the abscesses which formed. Shepherd made his will several times, but a good constitution triumphed and he is now back at his business and he thinks he is not out of danger yet. The ordinary man would have succumbed to what he passed through. Putting "a Stick" in It. Over the soda fountain in a Denver drug store is a sign which conveys a hint readily understood by thirsty people who like a stimulant in their soda. The sign contains these words: "Just Wink at Billy. Billy Knows." MAY IT BE ANSWERED?

THIS NEW SOCIAL ORGANIZATION MAKES ITS DEBUT At Litt a Hall, St. Paul, on Last Webnesbury Evening with one of the Most Brilliant Social Functions the Twin titles' El te has Witnessed for Many Months. Ever since a little notice appeared in The Appeal stating that the "Social Five" would give a swell party in April, the select circles of social society were in a state of ferment which increased daily until last Wednesday evening when a large number of those who had been favored with invitations gathered at Litt's Hall, one of the most pleasant halls of the city and passed an evening of unalloyed enjoyment. The first thing that greeted the guests as they alighted from their carriages and entered the front reception room was a large table decorated profusely with choice flowers on which was a large cut glass punch bowl filled with champagne punch which was served ad libitum during the entire evening. As each guest entered the reception room, a cute little double bow of lavender ribbon was pinned on the waist or lapel as an open sesame to joys to be found within. Lavender is the color of the social "V." and was much in evidence in the decorations. The "Social Five," Messrs. C. H. Miller, S. Edward Hall, Judge Johnson, James Winn, and Harvey B. Burk were on hand to receive their guests resplendent in the latest colorful suits and the lavender ribbon as diagonally across their immaculate and expansive shirt fronts. After depositing their wraps with the maid in waiting, the guests gathered in the parlor at the south end of the hall where the profuse decorations of cut flowers made the air redolent with sweet perfume. A short time was passed in social converse when St. Anthony Hill orchestra struck up the Established 1882.

After the refreshments, dancing was resumed and when the eighteen numbers and several encores had arrived, the balcony was filled with one voting the social "v", jolly good fellows, reluctantly donned their wraps, and rolled away in their carriages and one of the most delightful of the many delightful functions of St. Paul passed into history.

IMPORTANT NEWSPAPER CHANGE. Henry Watterson's Courier-Journal Announces a New Policy. During Three Decades the Louisville Courier-Journal has stood unalterably and conspicuously before the public as the representative of the great commonity of the people against both the Robber Baron, seeking through the accretion of ill-got money to steal away the people's liberty by stealing away their franchise rights, and the ready-tool of the Robber Baron, the bandit politician, masquerading as a Statesman and a patriot the better to serve the ends of his master. In fulfilling this high function he has sometimes had to go to states and sometimes to go slow, to deliver them to cry "onward," and sometimes to cry "halt," sometimes to drive at the root of things, and sometimes to drive ahead; but never changing the direction of its movement and always true to the underlying principle of its being, expressed by the simple demand for "The Greatest Good to the Greatest Number." With the advent of the New Year, that is on the first of January, 1903, the Courier-Journal began a campaign from which it looks for commanding results, and the better to reach the objects it has before it, the twice-a-week edition was changed to once-a-week, returning to the old Weekly Courier-Journal, which for a quarter of a Century was literally a political bible to millions of Americans who knew they could trust both its prescience and its disinterestedness. The new Weekly Courier-Journal is made in every respect, and is a paper for the home. It is issued every Wednesday, and its ten or twelve eight-column pages are filled with the best work of the best writers. The price of the paper is $1 a year, in advance, and it is well worth it. By a special arrangement with the publishers of the Courier-Journal you can get that paper and The Appeal one year for only $2.00.

Questions that immediately concern the liberty and well being of one or eight degree the whole population of the country are pressing for treatment as never before. The recorded experience makes the attitudely equality of each is the surest guarantee of the liberty and safety of all the members of society. It is be to the country that the attitudely endure 'half free and half slave it follows as a necessary corollary that the manhood of the state can maintain the attitudely equal merits into voters and non-voters. A systematic effort has been inaugurated to object the withdrawal of the franchise from the Afro-Americans of that section, and their reduction to all positions of the object of the franchise of the life of. Even college graduates and men of business and wealth have been obliged to declare their position only declared by some of the most prominent leaders of the *South* that it was the institution to disfranchise as many Afro-Americans as possible and leave every Caucasian in full possession of the right to vote. Only has the Afro-American been disfranchised but also that a very large number of the institutions to disfranchise the adoption of these constitutions participated in elections, have ceased to register and vote, and thus the very foundation rendered insecure. We contend for our constitutional rights of suffrage which is the basis of the individual sovereignty of the American citizen by the right of to regenerate sovereignty of the whole body politic, has been conferred upon its citizens by the Federal Government were not conferred by the Federal Government were by all of the states, therefore the National Government enforce the provisions of the Constitution. We heartily commend the Afro-Americans of Virginia, North Alabama, and South Carolina, and redress through the courts of the land and we pledge them our moral and financial support. We denounce the mob murders now so prevalent in this country, and we demand the country to a condition of service on many farms in a number of the Southern states resembling very much the old peonage system in the Northern states, and the government to the Federal Constitution, and ask for legislation-looking to the remedying of the farm. We submit our protest against the unfair practices in the transportation of passengers in Southern states, and the American mercies; requiring of them the highest rates for travel and providing in return the poorest conditions; voke the exercise of the powers of the Inter-State Commerce Commission, by that tribunal, to prevent discriminations against inter-state passengers. We appeal to the Congress of the United States several measures now pending therein for the appointment of a commission to inquire into the condition of the Afro-American We heartily endorse the deliverances of President Roosevelt with references to the attitude of the Federal Government toward all of its citizens, regardless of race, religion, national origin and vigor to the time-honored principles and traditions of human rights, and has given hope and inspiration to a people who are suffering from the injustice of hate and proscription. We commend Theodore Roosevelt to the affection and confidence of our people regardless of religion. WILLIAM A. PLEF GER.
