The Appeal

THE APPEAL KEEPS IN FRONT 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. ```markdown ``` CENSUS DEPARTMENT GIVES INTERESTING STATISTICS. Fatal Diseases most Prevalent in Certain Geographical Divisions—Only Three of Every One Hundred Die of Old Age. The causes of death are to a large extent a matter of geography, declares one of the latest reports of the Census Bureau. A map of the United States has been prepared under the direction of William R. Merriam, director of the twelfth census, in which the country is divided into twenty one districts. These districts have been marked to show the diseases that are most fatal in different parts of the country. For instance, the most fatal diseases in the district in which New York city is located are consumption, pneumonia, Bright's disease, apoplexy, bronchitis and diphtheria. The most sensational deaths occur in the Pacific coast district region, in the State of Washington. This is the only district in which gunshot wounds are reported as a prevalent cause of death. Heart disease, suicide and apoplexy show there the largest number of victims, and the record is held for the greatest number of deaths from alcoholism. Lungs remain appear to be most vulnerable to the Atlantic coast from New York to Virginia and along the Mississippi river from New Orleans to the Ohio river. Tetanoid fever and malaria come far down on the list in mountainous districts, but appear at the top in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, and Indian Territory. Although only three out of every 100 die of old age, there are a few fortunate districts where old age rival consumption and malaria as the cause of death. California, Adirondacks, Green mountains, parts of Michigan and Wisconsin, and the region on either side of the Missouri river. Childbirth, croup and whooping cough appear to be most dangerous in the districts which have the least population and where, presumably, medical aid is most difficult to obtain. Cancer, heart disease and apoplexy are more to be expected in mountainous parts of the country than in the level districts. In eight of the twenty-one districts rheumatism reaps a large harvest of death, noticeably in the thinly settled states where the inhabitants are most exposed to the sudden changes of the weather. Generally speaking, it appears that the majority of deaths in the country are caused by climatic conditions, which occur in the cities are caused by social conditions. The farmer on the Dakota prairie, for example, needs to guard against rheumatism, but not against malaria or heart disease.—Hearst's Chicago American. "Talk About Wind." "Talk about the wind up north!" said Representative Southard of Ohio, who has just returned from a trip to Texas and Mexico, "it never started compared with the wind in Texas. Why, at El Paso it blows a gale all the time, and the gale is full of sand, Enough sand is blown out of El Paso alone each day to fill the great lakes. "The court records of El Paso show that when the city was building levees along the Rio Grande, which is dry most of the time, but a terror in flood time, one contractor dumped $4,000 cubic feet of dirt the dirt was gone, absolutely wiped up and blown away. The contractor" sued the city for his money and proved he put the dirt there. The court held that the dirt was not there then and refused to allow him any thing. Talk about wind!"—New York World. The Dearest Gift. Coffee for the Inebriate. A traveler has made the observation that coffee-drinking people are very seldom given to drunkenness. In Brazil, for instance, where coffee is grown extensively and all the inhabitants drink it many times a day, intoxication is rarely seen. The effect is not only noticeable among the natives, but the foreigner who settles there, though possessed of ever such a passion for strong drink, gradually loses his liking for alcohol as he acquires the coffee-drinking habit of the Brazilian. HAD ANSWERS FOR ALL. Paris Restaurant Ingolien in De fense of His Institution. A restaurant in Paris celebrated for its high prices was also celebrated for the ingolienous defense of them made by Bignon, the proprietor. "M Bignon, a red herring at two and a half francs! It seems to me that is excessive." "But, these prices are marked in your interest," rejoined the restaurant. "It is the barrier that neaamed pouiseurs œau ments and the vugar, why do you come here? To be among yourselves, to avoid embarrassing or compromising surroundings. If I changed my prices the house would be invaded and you would all leave." Another patron who complained of a sauce was asked: "Did you dine here last evening? "No," he replied. "That is the trouble, then; you spooled your taste in the other restaurant." Still another object objected to the charges on his bill, comparing it with an identical breakfast of toast for eleven previous, which amounted to eight each, a half francs, whereas the breakfast in question was charged twenty-one francs eight centimes. "I will investigate the mistake," said Bigon, who, with the two bills, proceeded to his desk, returning shortly afterward. "It is very true, monsieur, that a mistake was made in your favor last Monday; but I make no claim for restitution." NOT LIKELY TO BE. POPULAR Scriptural Method of Carving Fowl Has Disadvantages. A scriptural method of carving fowls when in secular company was claimed by a witty monk who, having been asked to carve one day, said: "Inasmuch as you demand it, I will carve the fowl according to biblical principles," "Yes," exclaimed the hostess, "act according to the scriptures." The theologian therefore gan the carving. The baron was tendered the head of the fowl, the baroness the neck, the two daughters the head, the monk the first joint, the monk retaining the remainder. "According to what interpretation you make such a division?" inquired the host of his confessor, as he regarded the monk's heaping plate, and the scant portions deloed out to the family. "From an interpretation of my bwn," replied the monk. "As the master of your house the head belongs to you by right; the baroness, being near me to you, should receive face in; such is your girl's head; in the whims of young girls will recognize a symbol of their mobile thoughts that fly from one desire to another; as to the young barons, the drum stricks they have received will re mind them that they are responsible for supporting your house, as the legs of the capon support the bird itself." Origin of a Word. "How do you pronounce v-a-d-e-v-l-i-l-e?" asked the prefect of the purist. "Vowdvlillie," was the instant reply, followed by the question, "How do you?" "Vawdvlille," frankly condescended the prefect. "But I suspected I was wrong. That is the reason I asked you. I take it the word is French?" "Yes, and it comes from the name v-a-d-e-v-l-i-l-e—a river in Normandy. In that town during the fifteenth century lived Oliver Basselin, a French poet, who wrote a variety of matter in prose and verse. And now, after 600 years, every variety per former calls his act a vawdvlille turn. The study of the origin of words is interesting," concluded the purist. Proud of His Norwegian Birth. Edward Grieg, the Norwegian composer, dislikes the use of the word "Scandinavian" as applied to him. Recently there appeared in an English monthly magazine an article entitled "Grieg, the Scandinavian Composer," Grieg, when he saw it, sent a telephone to a friend in London requesting him to see the editor and explain that he was not a Scandinavian but a Norwegian. It is an interesting circumstance that but for the Jacobite trous bles he might have been a Scotsman His ancestors, the Greigs, emigrated from Scotland after the affair of 1745 and settled in Norway. Age of Cats. Herr Pohl, president of the German Society for the Protection of Cats, has just published the results of his investigation in regard to the age, which it is possible for these humans to attain Cats, he says, are like human beings in one respect. The more peaceful and better regulated their life is, the longer they are likely to live. As a proof, he points out that a famous cathedral Castle of Nymphen has lived to be forty-two years old, and consequently may fairly claim to be considered the dean of cats in Germany.

A London (Eng.) miller, who has been a keeper of forty horses for some years, recently adopted motor traction. He has now found that one five-ton motor wagon, practically replaces ten horses of weight and that for a year he earned $330 for similarly-propelled wagon, which includes interest on capital, depreciation, fuel, drivers' wages, oil, repairs and insurance, the same work is done which previously cost him between $1,100 and $1,200. THE APPEAL. FAMOUS STEEDS OF THE BLACK EAGLE FEATHER Copyright by the Horses Copyright by THE AUSTRALIAN (Copyrighted, 1903, by the A. A. Co.) Probably the most remarkable horses ever exhibited in America were imported from Arabia through the influence of the Sultan of Turkey in the New York show, and through the enterprise of a Chicago man were exhibited at the horse show in Chicago last November. There are, five of them—brothers. Not only are these stallions true Arabians, but they are rare in their own breed. That five similar white equine princes of the black eagle feathers should be foaled, as brothers, was considered miraculous. American horsemen confess that they never saw anything like them. All five of the stallions were trained for the amusement of the sultan's court. The docility of the true Arabian steed is a proverb. COPPER JACK To prove their most human intelligence they were taught to perform all sorts of difficult tricks. They do astonishing high leaps, mounting pedestals, and the dance quaint Oriental movements and do quaint packing steps. They dance the mazourka. Their keeper, Abdullah ibn Achmad, has consented to let them be taught some American tricks, such as cake walking. The true Arabian horse is a noble and is treated as such by the sons of the desert. He is a gift of God and therefore priceless. The Koran prohibits the sale of Arabian horses to Christians. The Koran says: "The horse shall be cherished by my servants, but he who does not follow my laws, and none will I place on his back save those who know me and worship me." And so the Mussulman princes have sternly refused to sell true specimens of the greatest of all breeds of horses to Europe and America. This fact accounts for the impossibility of buying these five stallions. Everyone knows, the usual Arabian horse is black or bay. But among the rarest desert breeds, called the BouGhoreb, white is the color reserved for princes. A tradition among the Arabs is that the royal white chargers marked with black eagle feathers should be reserved for the sultan. Each horse weighs between 1,100 and 1,250 pounds, stands 15 1.2 hands high, and has a hardened knel and gentle. They have pure white coats and delicate pink skins and noses. On their white coats appear marks as if some barbaric spirit had dropped upon them black eagle feathers. The legend is that thus they are marked as being gifted with supernatural swiftness and endurance. They could not be purchased at any price, and perspiration and influence upon their owners have been of no importance. The keeper, Abdullah ibn Achmad, should be retained with them was the inducement that finally led to an agreement that they might be shown to the people of America who have been deprived of seeing a thourbished Arabian horse. The Floto shows, now touring America, were selected as the best means of exhibiting the horses. They was just such a clever Lew Wallace in using them when the forever idealized the charist race in his novel "Ben Hur." Therefore, they have been called the "Ben Hur" troupe of royal Arabian horses. Hoping to obtain colts with the rank mark the lessees of the "Ben the A.M.C. Hur" stallions wish to breed them, free of charge, to suitable mares. They offer the service free and will contract to pay $100 for the foal if it has the royal mark of the black eagle feathers. So rare are royal Arabian horses in both Europe and America that the gift to Gen. Grant by the sultan of a pair of Arabs was an episode of international interest. The arrival of the horses, in 1882, after Gen. Grant had returned from his grand tour of the world, was the sensation of the day. Great regret was felt that the stallion, called by Gen. Grant "Linden Tree," died before his royal blood could mingle with that of the American thoroughbred to freshen the original stock. The origin of the American race horse is mainly the English thoroughbred, and that, in turn, dates back to the infusion of Eastern blood. It is an interesting fact that the pedigrees of all English thoroughbreds are traced back to three great Arabians, known in history as the "Beryl Turk," the "Darley Arabian," and the "Godolphin Arabian." The importation of these fathers of the thoroughbred was one of the most important events in Arabian III. While admittedly the English or American racer can sprint faster than the Arabian, yet this speed was originally derived from the Oriental desert king. But the Arab values endurance and intelligence and courage in his charger as much as speed. There is no doubt of the superiority of the Arabian in these qualities to this day. Valor is perhaps most highly regarded. In the desert wars the Arabs rely upon the courage of their horses as much as upon their own. They breed for ```markdown ``` valor just as we breed for speed in our horses. Only animals of battle, spirit were susu as chariot horses. In those furious contours the horses put their lives at stake as well as the charioters. Witness in Hard Luck. William B. Crandall, an actor who happened to be a witness to a murder in Wisconsin nearly a year ago, has been detained in Milwaukee as a witness ever since and as a consequence lost not only the position he held then, but has been prevented from filling other engagements that offered. He now finds himself destitute of means and has appealed to the prosecuting attorney for pressing wants and the prosecuting attorney has asked the court to make him an allowance for witness fees. The most extraordinary feature S of the case is that the murderer was released on bail immediately after the crime, but Crandall was confined in jail for several months. When he finally secured bonds for his appearance as a witness all avenues of employment were closed against him, dramatic companies having made their "hookings" for a year in adance. Proving His Innocence: Gov. James B. Frazer of Tennessee white in the city met another Southern and among various things talked about was the amusing propensity of the negro to use terms and words of great sound without knowing their meaning. "One darkly of him I had heard," said the Governor, "was arrested charged with stealing a chicken. At the preliminary hearing he was not represented by counsel, and it was suggested to him that he would better let the court designate a lawyer to defend him, as the case would be pushed. "I doan' want no lawyer," said Sambo, "cause 'i meren incerb ob dis yerse allergashon against me, an' der airt alingo to be talk 'bout de thug t'all me, Honnah' addressing the magistrate, 'Tse all ready to prove a haylis copus. Hit wuznent no chicking dat I done stole. Hit wuz ah tuk-ley."—New York Times. The Proof Lacking. "Miss Gabberton spoke of you on the other day in a manner that strikes me as being almighty to slander," said the painter. "I am not afraid and attempted to suppress a yawn." "Indeed!" exclaimed young Borem. "What did she say?" "She said," replied the fair one, "that you were an easy-going sort of chap." "Backward, Turn Backward, Oh, Time in Thy Flight." Backward, turn backward, oh, Time, in your flight; make me a boy again, just for to-night. Give me the bliss of that rapturous time when I would go swimming, say, half of the time; give me the blister that followed the bliss, on the part of my back that the sun didn't miss; give me the betting that followed it then; make me a bujantilurchin again. Backward, turn backward at that teacher in your teacher to night, the teacher that lurped me five times a day—Oh, give me one chance at that teacher, I say! And give me the woodpile as big as a hill; let the pleasure of splitting it cheer me and thrill, the boys gaily jeer me from over the fence. Oh, give me that bliss again—darn the expense! The small reservation just over the hill, where the thought of the hoeing would give me a chill; the cow that caressed me each eve with her tail as I tried to draw milk for a twenty-quall pard; the hens that forever were wanting to set; the pig with a stomach man never filled yet; the measures that hit me, the collycodd pain—Oh, give me the collycodd pain—Oh, give me the fill me with capture and cheerful delight, backward, turn backward, oh, Time, in your flight.—Alfred J. Waterhouse in New York Times. WHY HE LOST HIS JOB. Deformity Objected to by People He Served. He was a bright young fellow and had given such a good account of himself while on trial as a conductor that the superintendent would have liked to keep him. He didn't do it, Johnson," he said with real regret. "Why not?" said Johnson. The superintendent hesitated, but decided it was better to out with the whole truth. "It is because two of your right hand fingers are gone," he said. "But what difference does that make?" argued Johnson. "I can handle the change all right." "Was the reply, but there have been many complaints from passengers on account of the maimed condition of your hand. Most people are sensitive in regard to a deformity of that kind, and although they do not wish to be unkind they object to being thrown in contact with it. I have been obliged to turn down other estimable young fellows who were thus handicapped. Occasionally a person minus a digit or two does and employment consultant on car or train cars, but he always does so at the risk of arousing a storm of protection that will necessitate his ultimate retirement." Inappropriate. Alfred Henry Lewis tells of a Texan who objected to the presence of a local exhorter who wished to offer prayer when the vigilantes were preparing to hang a horse thief. "Your prayer man must all right merely be a vigilante, said the critical one, "I have no fault to find with the prayer as a prayer. But it is plumb inconsistent to pray at this time and place." "Why so?" inquired the preacher. "This man is about to go into eternity, and he should be comforted and his soul saved if possible." "Saved nothing," said the other.

Little Janet has, besides a good appetite, a devout turn of mind, and in her innocent zeal in this direction is often an example to the rest of the family. Her observance of the silent Quaker grace at the beginning of each meal is a pretty thing to look upon, with its spirit of native and trustful thanaskgiving. At supper she has her evening Janet hands through her usual grace; then the viands were brought in, and she immediately bowed her little head again in silence. "Why, Janet is saying two graces," said her elder sister. "Yes." answered Janet; "but when I said the first one I didn't know we were going to have fried chicken!" Old Maid Not Afraid. An Eastern old maid, having read of the inability of directors to keep the schools running on "account of the teachers being married by rich bachelors, has made application for a school in Miller, S.

Examples of Jokes of Calhoun, Holmes, Clay and Webster—Tirade Uttered by John Randolph of Roanoke in the Upper House. John C. Calhoun, when vice president, did not believe that, as the presiding officer of the senate, he had any right to call Senators to order for words spoken in debate. John Randolph of Roanoke abused this license by making a speech with the words: "Mr. Speaker—I mean, Mr. President of the Senate, and would be President of the United States—which God, in His infinite mercy, avert!" and then launched into one of his characteristic tirades. Calouh's name recalls nullification. When this was at its most rampant stage the northern Senators depended largely upon John Holmes of Maine as champion of their side of the chamber, on account of his ready wit, says a writer in the Century. John Tyler tried to win the Senate, but he had become of that political firm once mentioned by Randolph as "James Madison, Felix Grundy, John Holmes and the devil." "The partnership," answered Mr. Holmes, promptly, "has been legally dissolved. The senior member is dead, the second has gone into retirement, the third now addresses you and the last has gone over to the nullifiers and is electionering among the honorable Clay and Webster were not habitual humorists, but both had the gift of entertaining as well as of enthralling their audiences. Clay most to illustrate anecdote. While he was in the House a prominent politician deserted the Whig party in the hope of starting a general revolt. To his dismay he found himself quite alone and then bent all his energies to getting back into good standing. The incumbent reminded Clay of a story. Said he: "A stage coach took aboard a passenger who insisted upon riding with the driver, and who diligently drew upon the contents of a bottle carried in his great coat pocket. When his potations at last overcame him he fell off. The coach stopped long enough for some charitable travelers to align and pull the poor fellow out of the mud. "Ha!' he exclaimed, as he looked down at his tattered garments, 'we had quite a (hie) turnover, didn't we?" "Oh, no," answered one of his rescuers, 'there was no turnover. You only fell off.' "I say," he persisted, "there was a (thic) turnover, and I leave it to the company." Every one joined in assuring him that the coach had not upset. "Well," he remarked usefully, as he tried to climb back to his former perch. If I'd known that (thic) I wouldn't have got off." On a certain afternoon the Senate clock got a fit of striking in the midst of one of Webster's most effective speeches. After it had struck forrison or fitten, Webster held up one finger: "Mr. President," said he, "the clock is out of order, I have the floor." Dewey, a Dog, and a Boy. Passing the home of Admiral Dewey recently I found the hero of Manilin out in front attending to the crusher foot of a dog that had been struck by a street car. The poor little creature looked up gratefully into the great Admiral's face as he bound the wound. The bandage was fastened with a safety pin from—no matter where, the Admiral is equal to emergencies. A little later a young man from in New England, who had dreamed long of entering the navy, came up He told his mission in a manly way He wanted to meet his ideal and the greatest living naval hero. There was a hearty hardgrasp, with a hearty word of inspiring encouragement. The boy, six feet tall and over, scarely 18 towered above the Admiral "Splendid" he said, as he gazed upon the form of a lad who was intended to pace the bridge some day. A great, tender-hearted man is America's own Admiral Dewey. Joe Mitchell Chapelle in National Magazine.

He long thought that hens could be bred that would lay one egg every day in the year, and also that two eggs per hen per day was 2 possibility and he has been working to that end. On March ist, one of his special hens became sick, and he put her in a coop by herself. “The fol- lowing day he was astonished to find she had laid two eggs, one at 9 a. m. and the other at 4p. m., and has Kept that gait up ever since." He has made five sittings of the eggs and believes he has the greatest hen for commer: celal purposes in the world. It seems that the trouble about the Afro-American is getting two numer ous. If there were not so many of him he would be in general demand At least that seems to have been the case with Laura Loroux, white, daugh- ter of Zotique Leroux, a wealthy con tractor of Montreal, who was arrested last week, in Denver, Colo., in company with W. F. Blackburn, with whom she had eloped three weeks before. He deserted a wife and two children. She said, “there was only one Afro-Amer: ican in Montreal, and I got him.” Love sors where he is sent, don’t you know! ’ iain aah Sedna at Ohne | Cats and other beasts o: prey reflect aoe eS fag coe ee Sees ae Se an anne cme ae Sac ae eee ae Seno ce eee even though posterity change it—New York Press. f THE APPEAL: a NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN-NEWSPAPER, eeu ee eee | aes zee a) Ses COLLEGES AND ESHOOLS. ta| iD, NE W. eZ ys ; DXOO AS 0 eee "(GN ECs FV Loca WS) Ve DP” | RE Se ‘| ©! ae AL/ ™ CY Sas be mi ee, ieee amet ‘HE NIGHT SIDE OF LONDON.

Bunson tallied himself cut of a $10 fine in the police court Thursday. "I'll admit I was drunk, judge," said Bunson, "but I'm 55 years old and an ex-slave and this is the first time I've appeared in a court. If you let me go I can get a job with an asphalt paving crew, and I promise not to be brought in again." He was discharged.

As soon as he took a hand in the family spat the man quit beating the woman and began to beat the Jew, which he did in great shape, and when the gallant Jew was hors d'oeuvre, the woman was taken to him and administered up to him and administered a number of kicks on his person that nature has provided for such a purpose, saying: "You damned sheeny, Clothing Sale Extraordinary The Old Reliable Clot See the prices below and what this big Clothing Sale means. $10 Sui $12 Sui $15 Sui The Plymouth I'll teach you to hit my man."

On Feb. 12th Mrs. Elizabeth Banister was taken to St. Luke's Hospital for treatment for nervous prostration. She remained there until March 28th without getting any permanent relief, when, on that date, her left thigh bone was accidentally broken and from that time she began to fall. On April 11th she was taken from the hospital to her home with her daughter, Mrs. J. Q. Adams, where everything was done that possibly could be done by loving relatives and friends to alleviate her sufferings, which were caused by her complication of troubles, but all to no consequence and the evening of Wednesday, April 22nd, at 6:45 she passed away. She became unconscious Tuesday and never again recovered, but slept continuously to the end. OT GUILTY $600,000 FOR TUSKEGEE. Andrew Carnegie Gives the Above Amount to the Endowment Fund. New York, April 23—The trustees of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial institute in Alabama have received $600,000 towards the endowment fund from Andrew Carnegie, who attended the recent meeting in behalf of the Tuskegee Institute, where ex-President Grover Cleveland presided. The trustees will meet soon to take formal action in accepting the gift, and at the same time to take measures to still further increase the endowment. Carnegie's letter conveying the gift reads as follows: New York, April 17, 1903, Wm. H. Baldwin, Jr., Trustee, My Dear Friend: I have instructed Mr. Franks, my cashier, to deliver to you, as trustee of Tuskegee Institute, six hundred thousand dollars five per cent United States Steel company's first mortgage bonds towards the endowment funds. give this and with your愿 to meet that I require that suitable provision be made from the gift for the wants of Booker Washington and his family during his own or his wife's life. I wish to be entirely free from pecuniary cares that he may be entirely free to devote himself to his great mission. To me he seems one of the greatest of living men because his work is unique; the modern Moses, who leads his race and lifts it, through education, to even better and higher things than a land overflowing with milk and honey. History is to tell of two Washington, one white, the other black, both fathers of their people. I am satisfied that the serious race problem of the South is to be solved wisely only through Mr. Washington's policy of education, which he seems to have been specially born, a slave to among slaves, to establish and in his own day greatly to advance. Glad am I to be able to assist this good work in which you and others so zealously labors. Truly yours, —Andrew Carnegie. We Carry Complete Lines of Union Makes The Jane Martin Brown Home.

The dialogue is strong, the story interesting throughout and in the hands of a capable company and carefully staged, the production is one well worth seeing. The play met with unqualified success on the occasion of its appearance at that playhouse last season and a short resumption of its story is probably of place at this stage. The plot is woven around the trials and adventures of Frank Rawden, who is persecuted by George Dalton a false friend, who causes serious charge to be made against him in order to rid him of his presence that he may the more successfully carry out a villainous scheme, but Frank Rawden is aided by Tom Dally, a detective, who manages to thwart his plans and in a most sensational manner clears the good name of the hero. There is a press conference and while the play is sensational it is always consistent and one of intense interest. The cast includes the names of a number of well known players and it is promised that the production will be elaborately staged and equipped. The Big Clothing Sale Big House. Robert Streets.

Quite a neat little sum was realized for the pastor.

Mrs. Hickman, Mrs. V. D. Turner, and Mr. J. Q. Adams of St. Paul, appeared before the different churches Sunday evening in the interests of the Children's Home Society. This is a worthy movement and the citizens of Minneapolis should rally to its support. We can not well afford to be left out. There is no reason why Minneapolis should not have raised at least $200 towards furnishing a reception in this home. The citizens of St. Paul have taken hold of this matter with interest and enthusiasm. We should not expect to share in the honor without doing some of the work. The Newspaper Deadhead Why should people ask for free newspapers, asks the Toronto Evening Telegram, any more than they look for free cigars, free umbrellas, free walking sticks, free collars, free cuffs or free beefsteaks? Every copy of a newspaper is a product which costs money. The tailor, the tobaccoist, the gents' furnisher or the grocer is not called upon to supply free copies of the products which they handle. The people who are aggrieved if they cannot get a free copy of a newspaper would not think of struggling for a place on the list of a grocery store, a dry goods store, or butcher's shop. It is the principle more than the cost of the free newspaper idea which is repugnant to all sound business notions. Are conveniently and comfortably reached by our two trains a day.

Mr. Editor: Allow me space in your paper to thank the organizations for their faithful care and benevolence towards my aunt, Mrs. Agnes Moody, who died April 8 at 2:40 P. M., age 65 years, during all the months of her serious illness. Their attention was beautiful to see, nothing lacked they in devotion, nor did their charity fail by the wayside; neither did they want for hope of her recovery until within the last few days. They were loyal to the end. She had ample time in all these months to feel the sincerity of the friendship her many acquaintances bore her. Her sisters, who cared for her day and night unwearingly, join me in the attempt to thank not only the societies and clubs, pastors, Q. C. S. and Christian Endeavors, Deacouns and Stewardess, but every one for their words of cheer and prayers. Her funeral April 11 will ever be remembered by her relatives.

In each organization Mrs. Moody had held a high seat of honor subordinately and internationally, and each vied with the other in the neatness and dispatch of their last rites without any sign of confusion. The organizations have lost a sister but our home and hearts have lost a greater link than they for there can never be to us, using sister Angie or Aunt Aggg. But she left with us good teachings, bright thoughts, stories of joy and struggle for knowledge. Although sad we hope to chase the gloom away by bright memories of her during her health and her enduring patience in illness and with what calmness she asked that the Deaconess and Christian Endeavor come and be with her as she was about to cross the river. Many thanks to her neighbors. Mrs. Gabriel Knighton Smith draped the body for burial. Mr. Clifford Johnson, 709 State St., enshalmier, cared for the body and secured the handsome casket. I can only say thanks to each and every one who by word, deed or act showed their love for my aunt and consoled and mourned with us.

It is evident to the thoughtful among us that we are passing through one of the most critical periods of the country this country, and that immediately before we liberty and well being of one-eighth of the United States and scarcely to less degree the whole population of the country are passing through another period of mankind's treasured experience of mankind that in public matters the equality of each is the surest guarantee of the liberty and freedom of mankind. It is true that the country can not endure 'half free and half slave it follows as a necessary corollary that the mankind is free, in nearly equal parts into voters and non-voters. A systematic effort has been inaugurated on the part of the Afro-Americans to withdraw of the franchise from the Afro-Americans of that section, and their reduction to a position of absolute subservience to the government, to graduates and men of business and wealth have been denied the right of franchise. It has been openly declared by some of the greatest leaders of the South that was the intention of the framers of the new constitutions to disfranchise as many Afro-Americans as possible and leave them without suffrage. The effect has been that not only has the Afro-American been disfranchised but also the Afro-Americans who previous to the adoption of these constitutions participated in elections, have ceased to register and vote, and thus the very foundations of republican institutions have been We contend for our constitutional rights on the ground that Right of Resistance is a basis of individual sovereignty of the American citizen, which in turn is the basis of a whole body politic, has been conferred upon its citizens by the Federal Government. The Constitution, not conferred by a single state but by all of the states, therefore the National Government enforce the provisions of the Constitution. We heartily commend the Afro-American movement and other states, who are seeking 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 that the country to a condition of service on many farms in a number of the Southern states resembles the state of Virginia and in violation of the Thirteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution, and ask for legislation looking to the remedying of the We submit our protest against the unfair practices in the transportation of immigrants unjustly against Afro-Americans; requiring of them the highest rates for travel and providing in return the poorest conditions; and voke the exercise of the powers of the Inter-State Commerce Commission, by that tribunal, to prevent discriminations against immigrants and condemnations against inter-state passengers. We appeal to the Congress of the United States for favorable action upon the circumstances now pending therein for the appropriate action to require into the condition of the Afro-Americans of the country. We appeal to the Government of President Roosevelt with references to the fitness for appointment to office, and the attitude of the Federal Government of President Roosevelt, regardless of race or color.
