The Appeal

BRUIN HAS A HEART CAPABLE OF STRONG FEELINGS OF AFFECTION. At Least, Here Is a Story Which Goes to Prove It—Bear Cub Always Kept Friendly Feeling for His Bene factor. "Its funny how people like bear stories," said a man who was showing a friend around the bear pits at the Zoological Park, in the Bronx. "Only the other day a stranger was here and he showed me a newspaper that contained a story from Gloucester, Mass. of two of the crew of a fishing schooner who had bumped into an iceberg while they were in their dory, and he bumped up and growled at them, and then drifted away with the icebergs. "The stranger asked me if I thought it was true. I don't see anything strange about it, although I am not so well up on polar bears, as I am on land bears. I suppose polar bears like to peregrine, and this one that was seen by the Gloucester fisherman was probably making a voyage for his heath. Good many years ago I was in a lumber camp in Minnesota. Becoming tired of the long and dreary winter, I concluded to go South. The Mississippi River was frozen over at that point, and as I was hardy and had plenty of time, I started on my journey on skates. "After I had been cut several days I encountered a brown bear that was just emerging from its cubhood. It seemed to be friendly and I tossed it some of the provender from my bag. It was very appreciative of that man. It followed me all day, and when I went achieve in the evening to pass the sight, it would have followed me if I had not escaped from it by strategy. "When I went on the ice next morning the bear showed up. I don't know where it had spent the night, but it joined me, as I have stated, in my journey. "A day or two later I found as I traveled farther South that the ice was becoming unsafe, and left the river to resume my journey by land, in a leisurely way. The bear stuck to me. It had become very affectionate. Then it occurred to me to turn into it a source of revenue. "I adopted it and taught it various tricks, lingering in the vicinity where I had quit the ice, for more than a week, then he moved on. On my request the bear to a tree. On my request it always greeted me as fondly an a dog would have done. "I started when it with it giving bear shows in the various towns. When I got to Kequib I found a bigger show than mine in town, and as I was getting tired of the business, I sold my pet to the manager and resumed my journey like a white man. "Some years after that while I was in Colorado I went to a show and in passing the animals I saw a bear which looked familiar. I spoke to it and it recognized me. It cut up such capers that I persuaded the keeper to let me go into the cage, and when I got there that bear was so affectionately demonstrative that I was positive of its identity. When I quit the cage it meaned, and not long after I ran across the show man again and the keeper told me my bear died of a broken heart soon after I had left it. I am convinced that bears can love, and anything that can love never forgets."—New York Sun. Books. Ah, Marianna seemeth me. Like nothing else so much to be loved by me.

The average person seems somehow to think of dictionaries as the invention of Dr. Johnson, and altogether modern product. Dr. Murray corrected that idea. They were not the works of one or several men, he told his audience, but a growth developed through the ages. They began with the glosses—that is, the explanations in easy Latin or English—or hard Latin words, written by the monks between the lines of the manuscripts. The glosses grew into translations, and collections of glosses by this monk or that from all the sources available to him made glosses or dictionaries. Little by little English supplanted the French, and the words were arranged in a rudimentary alphabetical order, thus forming, so long ago as 1,000 A. D. Latin-English dictionaries. The uneducated Normans overthrew English learning; and it was not till the fifteenth century that the revived came. West Point Buildings. During the next few years $6,500,000 will be spent in new buildings at the Military Academy at West Point, which will make that institution equal in its architectural features, dormitory conveniences, lecturer rooms, laboratories and other buildings to any of the great universities of the world. THE SCIENCE OF BUILDING. Exactitude Which Characterizes the Construction of Skycars Many of the great steel structures that are being built in every city are are planned and molded in some distant city—like the material for Solomon's temple of old—hundreds of miles away. It is in some rolling mill town of Pennsylvania that most of the gigantic framework for, the modern skyscrapers are built. All that remains to be done is to put them together, and the building rises up like a house of blocks. Every piece is fitted together and numbered before it is taken away from the steel mill. So exact are the measurements that not even the drilling of a hole is necessary for fitting the rivets which fasten the plates and the bolts. The watchful precision with which these parts are made was shown in the construction of one of these buildings which is now being erected in Chicago. One of the large cross girders was missing in the framework of the second floor, and though it did not interfere with the placing of the framework on all sides and above it, the contractor was worried to know what had become of it. When the framework had grown as high as the sixth or seventh story and the missing piece had not been found around the railroad yards on the board from any point, he wrote to the steel mill, describing it as closely as possible, ordering that it be duplicated. By the return mail he received the following reply: "As ground space is more valuable in Chicago than here in the country, we are storing missing girder for you. We knew that you would need a steel derrick on that floor, and kept the girder out so you would have room. Will ship it after the remaining stories have been completed." The mill men had figured correctly on the number of miles away, and the girder could not have been placed in position, even if it had been on the ground, on account of the derrick. STORY OF THE GOOD BOY. No "Honesty Is the Best Policy" for Him Any More. A newsboy picked up a $10 bill in front of one of the big hotels yesterday. Another young artist of the brush that is black, but artistic, saw the pick-up and guessed it was money. He made a loud plead for a division. "Halvers, or I'll squel," he yelled. While Red was hesitating an elderly, benevolent-locking man stepped out of the hotel and gazed at the pavement in an inquiring manner. Red saw the man and guessed that it was his money. He impulsively ran to him and inquired: "Did you lose someinhit, mister?" "Why, yes, little man. I just dropped a bill. Did you see it?" he replied with a smile. "This it?" said the boy, extending a grumpy paw in which was gripped the bill. The other boy stood the picture of alarmed astonishment. The old man took the bill and said: "That is it, little man. I am glad to have it, but it affords me greater pleasure to know that there is such an honest, bright boy in the lowly occupation which is your start in life. I predict that you will be a great man some day. Honesty is the greatest of virtues." He stood very still until the man had entered the hotel. Then he said things. The things he said showed the perfection of his training in the shims. They were emphatic, but unprintable, and the end of the long sentence was "an" I ought I'd get half of de X and he repaits a repyattus for bein' honest, and beat Swisy out o' de X.

Papa Jacques Dumbar in New Orleans Times-Democrat. Would Solve Servant Question. A certain West Philadelphia family has an invariable rule that the children shall take turns in saying a grace before meals. This grace follows a set form, but at the Sunday dinner, when papa is at home, an extempore addition or enlargement is required. The household had been suffering from a long succession of incompet- cents, cooks, and the other Sunday, as the family assembled at the table, the mother lamented that she feared the dinner was spilled, and that unless a good cook could be obtained im- mediately a contemplated trip to the country would have to be abandoned. It was little Ernest's turn to say grave, and he echoed the prayer of all present. On Lord Lord, this food for our use, and to Us thy Service, for Christ's sake. And Lord, please send us a good cook before Friday." THE APPEAL. PIGEONS AND CATS PESTS OF NEW YORK'S GREAT CATHEDRAL EXHIBITION OF THE MUSEUM OF THE CATHEDRAL OF ST. MARY'S It may be necessary to resort to vigorous measures to relieve St. Patrick's cathedral at New York of a pest of birds and cats. The birds are nesting over the entrance and in the steeples and arches and cornices of the facade and the eaves along the side of the building in such numbers as to constitute a serious annoyance to those who attend services there. The cats, although seldom in evidence in daylight, prowl about the cathedral at night and disturb the neighborhood with their clamor. The birds are pigeons and sparrows. The cats are strays. The birds began with the late Archbishop Corrigan's pigeons. When the archbishop began feeding the THE CHURCH OF ST. MARY'S birds several years ago there were only a few of them—a little family of strays who had taken up residence in the steeple of the biggest church in America. It is a tradition of morning the archbishop would steal out in the half light to the lawn about the church. He was no sooner sighted than a soft flutter of wings might be heard, and down sped a pigeon right to his feet. Then the archbishop would smile and turn his eyes up to the steeper. the other pigeon would see the ground and the matter, and before the archbishop left he would be sur- RATHER A BROAD HINT. Stage Coach Driver Explains Why He Slammed the Door. Cyrus: Townsend Brady says that during his missionary life in the West he had occasion one day to ride in a full stage coach up a steep hill. The driver, where the ascent was sheerest, got out and walked, and as he walked he would frequently open the door of the coach and then shut it again with a slam. This the passengers found annoying. "Look here, driver," one of them said, "why do you kick up such an infernal device with that door?" "To hearten up my horses," the driver answered. "Every time they hear this door close they think that one of you, taking pity on them, has got out, and that makes them imagine that their load is lighter." The Ass and the Ladder "I came into possession of a Hebrew library the other day," said a student, "and in several of my new books is the sentence, 'May this volume not be damaged, neither this day nor forever, until the ass ascends the ladder.' What does that mean—till the ass ascends the ladder—do you know?" "Yes, I know," answer the student's preceptor. "The phrase is like that of Petronius, 'asinus in tegnis' (an ass on the housetop). It signifies impossibility, a thing that will never take place. Books preserved, therefore, until the ass ascends the ladder are books forever preserved."—Philadelphia Record. rounded by a small flock of birds, who fluttered and cooed and flew about him quite as though they understood him and loved him. The archbishop would not fling down all the food for the pigeons at once, but he would enjoy them, themselves. So he would take a little bit out of his pocket at a time and dust it about the walk. Then, as the birds began to gather, he would grow more and more prodigal, until finally, with a reckless dash into his pocket, he would bring out the last handful and fling it to the winds. Then he would go quietly, away again. When he became so tame they would come at the archbishop's call. So rapidly did they increase that to THE CHURCH OF ST. MARY'S day hundreds of pigeons are nesting in the cathedral steeple, flying about its roof and, occasionally, sailing in at its majestic windows. Meantime, the food spread for the pigeons attracted new tenants. Sparrows discovered the happy feeding grounds, and one by one they built their nests in the crevices and cornices of the church. When the pigeons had done eating, the sparrows would hop down and pick up the crevices. The climax was capped when a stray cat graunt and yellow, out on Tiny Spot Where Grows Almost All of the Fruit Used. Nearly all the lime juice used in the world comes from the tiny island of Monsterrat, in the British West Indies. The lime grows wild in many West Indian Islands, but only in Monsterrat it is used commercially. That island is one vast garden of lime trees, and nowhere in the islands is farther from its thirty miles of orchards laden with the fruit of the lime or fragrant with its blossoms. The fruit is gathered by negro women, who carry it down the hills to the shipping port in big baskets on their heads. Like, all West Indians, they are remarkable for their ability to carry heavy weights in this manner. Once, the company which controls the lime juice industry sought to lighten the burden of its laborers by introducing the wheelbarrows. The wheelbarrows readily enough, and then carried them on their heads as they had been used to carry the baskets. Many a negro woman will carry a hundred-weight-of limes on her head for a distance of a mile or more. Parkburst Is Plain Spoken. Dr. C. H. Parkhurst is widely noted for the plain way he has of stating facts. In a recent Sunday discourse he referred to those who are in the habit of dropping a nickel in the plate after listening to the eloquence and logic of some particularly distinguished divine as "showing 5 cents worth of evangelical responsiveness." Defective Page his early morning rounds, discovered that food was to be had even at the base of New York's greatest church. Whether he told others of his tribe or not is not known, but it is a fact that dozens of cats haunt the dm alley of the church and yowl about its dark corner. One story which will go down in the annals of the cathedral is told by the sexton. Not long ago an old lady used to appear at the cathedral early every morning. Mass begins at 6 o'clock, but the old lady came earlier. From a paper bag hidden under her wrap she would take pieces of meat and bread and throw them into bits and throw down upon the walk, calling softly, "Puss, puss, puss!" At the sound gaudt cats would The image provided does not contain any text or illustrations. It appears to be a decorative border with intricate patterns and designs. appear from every side. They would come like a small army at the call of the little old lady, and before they left the food upon the walk would be cleaned up to a crumpled sheet of folded meekly and shining eyes under her bonnet, would trudge on up the steps and into the church to say her prayers. For a long time those who must keep the cathedral in order suffered the old lady to administer her daily charity and have endured the results in silence. But at last they have been told to tell her gently that it must end. FIRST PIPE OF THE KIND. Shoemaker Has the Meerschaua. It is related that a shoemaker named Kavol Kowates, an inhabitant of Pest, Hungary, being one of nature's handicrafters, had an intuitive genius for carving wood and other material. This brought him in contact with Count Andrassy, with whom he became a great favorite. The count on his return from a mission to Turkey brought with him a piece of whitish clay which had been presented to him as a curiosity on account of its extraordinary light specific gravity. It struck the shoemaker that, being porous, it must be well adapted for pipes, as it would absorb the nicotine. The experiment was tried and Kavol cut a pipe for the count and one for himself. This first meerschaua pipe, made and smoked by Kavol Kowates, has been preserved in the museum at Pest. The Lowest Deep. What is said to be the greatest ocean depth ever discovered was sounded only a short time ago, during the recent cruise of the Albatross in the Pacific. Prof. Agassiz was in charge of the expedition, and near the island of Guam. There the beam trawl, attached to a steel cable, was lowered to the depth of 28,878 feet—five miles—almost as high as Mount Everest. By means of thermometer attached to boat it was found that the water at this depth bore the temperature of only 35 degrees, just a little above freezing point.

PRINCE'S ESCAPE FROM PRISON How Louis Napoleon Fled from the Fortress of Hang Prince Louis Napoleon, afterward Napoleon III, effected his escape from Ham in 1846 in a singular manner. He was imprisoned for his attempts against the French government, made at Boulogne in 1840. At 7 o'clock one morning the prince, having shaved his mustache and thrown a blouse and workingman's trousers over his own clothes, and wearing wooden shoes quietly walked out of the prison, carrying a bookshelf over his shoulder, to complete his disguise. He was taken to be one of the painters then in the prison and was passed by several of his colleagues, was waiting in the neighborhood and by 3 o'clock in the afternoon he was at Valenciennes, where he took a train to Brussels, and he arrived in London two days later. Meanwhile in the prison Dr. Conneau, the prince's physician, had placed a dummy in the prince's bed and told the governor that the prince was confined to his room by illness. This satisfied the governor until 7 o'clock in the evening, when he insisted on seeing the prince and discovered the fraud. By this time of course the prince was taken from Dr. Conneau got off with three months of prison. Within thirty-one months Prince Napoleon was the first president of a French republic, supplanting King Louis Philippe, who had abdicated. A STUDY IN REALISM. Little Girl's Naive Comment on Her Mother's Photograph It was a funny little speech of wee Eleanor, so father and mother agreed that evening as they laughed over the mental picture each had of the saucy turned-up nose and the merry blue eyes of their four-year-old. Yet, wasn't there a great deal of feeling in the speech, too; and perhaps a bit of pathos? Eleanor's mother had shown her the beautiful new picture that a photographer had just sent home. She was a young mother, of course; and ever so pretty, in a tender, dainty way. But she could be a severe mother, an avenging spirit, and could show this in her clear-cut profile, all sweetness in the photograph. Eleanor had one chubby dimple hand thrown lovingly over her mother's shoulder; the other held the picture. Long and steadily the child appeared. There was great admiration in the baby face as she studied the sweet pictured mamma, with there was a pucker in the forehead that suggested unpleasantness. As she looked from the profile on the pasteboard to the one in flesh and blced, she put her pity query at the original of the photograph: "You wouldn't think that face could spank me, would you, mother?"

Clock of Deceptive Value. Judge Newburger has a clock which is at once the joy and the bane of his life. Its age is of old Delft; and it is a gem which would make an antiquarian a mouth water. But its dingy appearance calls forth so much adverse comment from uncultured visitors to his office that the judge's feelings are constantly "riled." A man with long whiskers chanced to observe it one day recently and exclaimed: "Why, Judge," that's a mealy look in old clock. What do you keep it fer? Looks like it costs six cents.

He Piloted His Boat Over Rail Fences and Country Roads and Tied Up for the Night to the Top Branches of Trees. "The flood which sent the Ohio river sprawling all through the woods in 1848 was about as nigh the one that Noah encountered as I ever saw," said an old boatman who quit the river ten years ago and who spends his leisure time about the ship store concern of his sons in South street in this city, "I was captain of a steamer that plied between the upper landings of the Ohio and Cairo. The big port where we always took stores. It depended on business as to how far up we went. In the flood of '48 we run about as we pleased." "The government had no charts of the Ohio then, and if there had been any we would have paid no attention to them. I plotted the Tuscumbia right over rail fences and country roads in that flood. We didn't many landings to make, for there was no place to make fast the head lines. "I distinctly remember tying up the Tuscumbia one night to a big tree that stood in a waste of water extending as far as the eye could see. The night coming on I found we could not make the port I wanted to make and navigation by night was altogether too risky at that high stage of the water. So I sent out the mate and deckhands in the yawl with tow lines which they made fast to a huge tree, a landmark on shore, Rockport. That was not far from the place where Lineinb is said to have run his fliatboot. All night long the Tuscumbia tugged at her ropes and chains and I expected every minute that she would either break 'em or pull up the tree. "Among my passengers were several Cumberland Presbyterian preachers who were bound down to Smithon to take a boat to Nashville, where they were going to attend the General Assembly of their denomination. It looked pretty squally, and I invited the preachers to have a meeting in the ladies' cabin. "Everybody aboard took more or less interest in the service except the fellow who ran the bar. I had quite a time of it in keeping him quiet. He said the preachers ahead, and that with his business ahead, and that if I didn't stop the prayer meeting he'd dispose that hold up to the big tree. I soon convinced him that such an act would be worse than the meeting, as in case he carried out his diabolical plan everybody would go to praying, and he would probably be in the lead. "The meeting lasted nearly all night. The next morning we cast off, and by cutting across fields and through the woods we made our first landing the next day, pretty well up on the side of a bluff. We let down the smoke stacks of the Tuscumbia in order to keep them from getting tangled in the branches of the trees. "I don't think there was as great a loss of life in that flood as there has been in the floods this year, partly owing to the fact that there were not so many people. But it was the greatest flood I ever saw while I was in the business."--New York Sun. WHAT MAKES A GENTLEMAN. Qualities That Neither Wealth Nor Education Can impart to a Man. Archbishop Temple, the recently deceased primate of the established church of England and a man of the highest character, gave a short time before his death the following online message: I understand really gently conduct; "The man who is thoroughly unselfish in all small things, he is the man in regard of whom it is quite impossible for you not to feel, that man is a gentleman. Let his rank in society be what it may, let him be ignorant of the ordinary conventions of social interference in man he may be truly unconcerned, if in his ordinal relations with his fellows there is true and genuine unselfishness, it is impossible for any man who has much to do with him not to feel "That man is a gentleman." I don't care whether he is educated or not, whether he is learned or not; I don't care how ignorant he may be or how low he may stand. I don't care if he be ever so poor; the man who is clearly shows that he is not easily giving to other people, that man is at heart and in reality one of nature's gentlemen and this is the way in which he shows it."

Foreigners are flocking to the shores of the United States in very large numbers, and it is estimated that one million will arrive during the present year. This is the country that welcomes the offscoring of all nationalities and makes them full-fledged citizens in a few months; and, there is no office in the gift of the people to which these emigrants may not aspire, except the presidency. Yet there are ten millions of citizens, to the manor born, who cannot even call their souls their own, who are deprived of the right of suffrage, and, in fact, "have no rights that white men are bound to respect." Things are far from being just right in this country. --- Rev. E. E. Chivers, D. D., is credited with drawing from Afro-American ministers and professors present at the Christian Endeavor convention in session at Denver, Col., this week, the admissions that "no Afro-American preacher in the south is educated," and that "the outrages committed by the victims of mob violence were of the most flendish sort and called for the most severe punishment." We would like to know what sort of people were present, who, professing to be Christians, would allow such damnable and damaging lies to be published even by their tacit admission. The mob's work at Evansville, Ind., will be productive of much good, as it has caused a reaction against the mob spirit which seems so prevalent. Rev. Wilbur F. Sheridan of Louisville said in a sarmon Sunday: "The cure for mobs is the Evansville cure. The spirit of the mob was quickly broken when a half dozen of its members were stretched out in death. It was a heroic cure and a sad one, but it is a necessary one when milder measures fall." Talking of french acts, few can compare with that of John Terrill, who on last Sunday shot his son-in-law in the leg and then followed the wounded man to the hospital, whence he had been taken to have his limb amputated, and, terrorizing the surgeons and attendants, deliberately fired both barrels of a shotgun into the head of the unconscious man on the operating table. It might be added that both men were of the "superior race." Judge David G. Brewer of the United State supreme court says: "Every man who participates in the lynching or the burning of a Negro is a murderer pure and simple." We endorse this decision with all our heart. He also says: "There will be an uprising of popular feeling against lynching which will result in a remedy in some form," and to this we add a hearty amen. God speed the day. Hon. Wm. F. Powell, United States minister to Haiti, arrived in New York on last Tuesday. He has made an enviable record in his position, despite the fact that he is an Afro-American. THE STORY ON THE SLAVE. Slavery and Servitude in New Jersey. By Alfred M. Heston Member of the New Jersey State House Committee. N. Simpsonkew Chew & Sons. This monograph is a recital of slavery and slavery end. The fact is brought out that slavery existed in America long before 1613, and that slavery was a part of the cargo of human freight to Jamesown. The Aztecs in Mexico enslaved not only the slaves of the nation, but the nation who were convicted of theft and other crimes. African slavery was the only nation where that is the earliest recorded instance of ownership of African slaves. Many of the slaves who were captured can slave trade. There is a record of one good old elder, whose ventures on the land were the most returned thanks on the Sunday following the arrival of a sliver into the land. Providence has been pleased to bring to this land of freedom another cargo of gospel dissension. You enjoy the blessings of gospel dissension. Perth Amboy was New Jersey's chief market in there is goodly numbers, many of them freshly imported and still bearing their original names, such as $900. The system of white bondage, known as redemptive servitude, existed in New Jersey from the eighteenth century. This form of bondage was usually voluntary, and at the expiration of the bondage were merged into the mass of white population without any special taint of servitude. Many slaves, who were found to be cheaper than white servants, checked in a measure. Many white convicts were shipped to New Jersey from the British Islands, and were sent to New York. An act providing for the gradual abolition of slavery was passed by the General Assembly in 1820, and their act in 1820 and still later another in 1846, did not bring about the complete abolition of slavery. There were but 18 in the entire state when Amboy, Garden State, was issued in 1880. Hen Garden State was introduced to a member of the state senate, introduced from the statutes that last vestige of slavery in New Jersey.

THE TRUE ABRAHAM LINCOLN. The True Abraham Lincoln, Rt. W. The wave of color prejudice which has been engendering the absolute undation of one-seventh of the citizens of this land, by the denial of the new being made by the South to relegate all Afro-Americans, without regard to the practical or practical sardon, makes "The Souls of Black Folk," by Prof. Du Bols, an Afro-American professor of Harvard University and of the University of Berlin and now professor of university, one of the most striking books in contemporary thought the author says: "Herelin lie buried many things which, if I were to read them, strange meaning of being black here in the dawning of the twentieth century, you, gentle reader, for the problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the I pray you, then, receive my little book for me, forgiving mistakes and fobles for sake of the faith and passion that is in there and seeking the grain of truth there." "I have sought to sketch on vague, unten thousand thousand Americans live and strive. First, in two chapters, I have tried them, and what was its aftermath. In a career of personal leadership, and criticized candidly the leader, who bears the chief role in the problem of training men for life. Other chapters I have sketched in swift outline the two worlds within and without the problem of training men for life. In one chapter I have present relations of the massed millions of the black pessant, and in another have sought to make them present relations of the master and mastering it. "Leaving, the world of the white pessant, the world of the meaning of the pessant, the passion of the meaning of the struggle of its greater souls. I have sung a bar of the sorrow songs—some echo of haunting melody from the only American music of the dark past. And finally, need I add that I who speak have been of the bone and the flesh of them that live within the velt." Book I. I is called "Of Our Spiritual Life." "Easily the most striking thing in the history of the ascendancy of Mr. Booker T. Washington. It began at the time when war was beginning, and it was a day of astonishing commercial development was dawning; a sense of doubt and fear was building up. Then it was his leading began. Washington came, with a simple, definite promise to the nation was a little ashamed of having bestowed so much sentiment on his policies on dollars. His programme of industrial education, conciliation of the state with the nation, was not wholly original, but it had strived to build industrial schools, and the American Missionary association had strived to build schools, and Price and others had sought a way of honorable alliance with the best of the nation. Indispassively linked these things; he put enthusiasm, unlimited energy, and perseverance into programing it from a by-pass to a veritable way of life. And the methods by which this is a fascinating study of human life." After detailing the greatness of Mr. Booker T. Washington, which he accomplished his aims and gained the co-operation of both the South and the North. "These movements are not, to be sure, direct results of propaganda has, without a shadow of doubt, helped their speedier accomplishment, more feasible, more possible, and, probable, that 10,000,000 men can make effective political rights, made a serveable caste, and allowed only the most meager chance for the factory and reason give any distinct answer to these questions it is an emphatic "No." He is inviting nobly to make Negro workers in the factory thus faces the triple paradox of his career. "1. He is inviting nobly to make Negro workers in the factory thus faces the triple paradox of his career. "2. He instills bnth thrift and self-respect, but it is utterly impossible under modern competitive methods, for workingmen to submit to civic inferiority such as is bound to sap the manhood of any race. "3. He advocates common school and industrial training and depreciates institutionally, and submits to civic inferiority such as is bound to sap the manhood of any race. "4. He advocates common school and industrial training and depreciates institutionally, and submits to civic inferiority such as is bound to sap the manhood of any race. "5. He advocates common school nor Tuskegee itself could open a day were it not for teachers, and by their graduates. "The black men of America have a duty to defend the nation," he said in a forward movement to oppose a part of the work of their greatest leader. So far, the black men of America have a duty to defence, and industrial training for the masses, we must hold up his hands and stand up for them, and glorifying in the strength of this Joshua called of God and of man to lead the nation. Joshua's unapologetic for injustice. North or South, does not rightly serve the privilege of being a nation with lasting effects of caste distinctions, and opposes the higher training and ambition of our brighter minds—so far as he, the teacher, is concerned, he uncassingly and firmly oppose them. By every civilized and peaceful method we must strive for, against the adversity, to unwaveringly to those great words which the sons of the fathers would fail forstom: We hold these words as our own, and we are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that are life, liberty, and the purity of happiness. The writer is intensely in earnest, poignantly aware of the prejudice-bound people his appeal to the prejudice-bound people of the country, and he speaks for millions of them. He is a man of great courage, cordant note, and that is the adverse criticism of Booker T. Washington, Mr. Washington being misunderstood by the learned professor, and he does the great advocate of his work. There is no contradiction between the two. He cultured advocate of higher education. The adoption of industrialism does not violate constitutional rights. Nowhere in his writings or his speeches has Mr. Washington advised anyone to rely on the practice of ever advised them to hold on to every one now accorded, and the practice of ever advised them to hold on to every possession of all now enjoyed and the acknowledgement of wealth will surely give. Let Washington speak for himself. In one of his latest public utterances, an address delivered before the Brooklyn Incliners and Sciences, among other shouts he said. "The Negro has lived for over two centuries from pulpit to rostrum, through the press and in school, in legislative halls and on the campus, in upholding the doctrine that the most complete development of each human being must be trained to exercise the most complete freedom compatible with the freedom of others. The Negro had wrought into every fibre of his body the realization of one race. It is equally helpful and necessary to the well being of others. It is imprecatory to the well being of others. It is impersonal to the well being of others. Give me liberty or give me death, should have had no influence upon the acquiring of such freedom, nor not have in him that which spurred him toward the acquiring of such freedom, or neither the white man at the North nor the white man at the South, nor respect for him or confidence in his future. "In the face of all this I cannot believe ourselves into its most every type of European, from the highest to the very dregs of the lowest, to protect and the highest encouragement, will refuse to accord the same protection and encouragement. I repeat before that I have often said in the South: The Negro seeks no opportunity—that the same law which is made by the white man and applied to the black man, is equal certainty and exactness to the other. "And when I say this, I repeat also that of more than one state constitutional convention in the South—namely, that any person of being twisted into one interpretation when an ignorant white man is concerned is concerned, will not represent entire justice nor the highest statesmanship. If a person of being premium upon good citizenship both races, and wherever they fail to do this, is concerned, will accord with the best interests of the state. "When in any country there are laws which are under foot and made to mean one thing when applied to one race and an other under foot and made to mean one race, there is not only injustice for which in the nation must be repented, but the nation must humbling and blunting of the conscience, human being, in kindness, justice, and all the higher, purer and sweeter things out deprising itself. No race can assist in lifting up another without itself being deprived. We must not grow disappointed or dependent because, as we have seen, five years ago he was taken place just exactly as we wish, or, as we have seen, he always God’s way. The ten commandments and the golden rule were proclaiming growth and strivings, the Anglo-Saxon, citing him as an example, he reached the point where he is living up to them in all races, rich and poor, black and white, must have a standard, and we are unable to apply to all races, rich and oor, black and white, towards which its people must continually "The age for settling great questions, either social or national, is by lynchings, has passed. An appeal to such methods is about some things connected with our future, but of one thing I feel perfectly hatred and are not so willing to harate any solution for any problem on earth. No one can answer to its weak points. The Negro, like other races, is the best element in attention to its weakest element, rather than by its weakest. "It is hard to find those who can so far object with complete absence of prejudice. In most cases there is an effort to be met, but just an ordinary human being.

The "real" and "true" people seem to be the most important to the unpleasant impression has prevailed in many quarters that Benedict Arnold is the most prominent person to his country were ignored and his great fault was not over-emphasized per se. The common punishment to one's country surpasses the other great treachery to one's friend and condonation. The real danger may be, however, certain circumstances which explain the deed and modify the bitter condemnation. He had endearing Arnold's treason, Mr. Todd emphasizes his invaluable services to America, and shows conclusively that the real danger to the Colonies: first at the battle of Valour's Island on Lake Champlain (the first naval battle of the war), where were engaged, where, by his desperate valor, he gave the British such wholesome assistance that they gave up their plan of invasion from the north that year; second, by his desperate valor, he gave the Mohawk Valley and putting to flight St. Lester's invading army fourth to winning the two battles of Saratoga, which, conjoined, Cressy includes in the fifteen deeds of the world. Mr. Todd also shows that it was the influence of the British officers he discovered should her treasonable correspondence with the British officers be discovered, country, and not the gross injustice of Congress nor the calamities of paper贪婪. The book is an original and unique contribution to revolutionary history; instructive; especially noteworthy is the reproduction of an old print representing the burning of Washington; it is said his mind wandered, and he was again in America, fighting his battles with Washington and the Army; he was entertained he asked that his Continental uniform of a major-general, in which he had ever cherished, might be brought and put on him; he Washington had given him as the bravest of the brave; he said, "the American uniform he said, "the uniform in which I fought my battles.

Pilgrim Baptist Chuch Is Out of Debt There were many prayers of thanksgiving offered up on when last Wednesday evening the pastor of Pilgrim Baptist Church in the presence of an audience which filled all available space in the church set fire to the mortgage which has been hanging over the church for many years. In 1900 the mortgage amounted to $10,000, and the congregation being unable to pay, it was foreclosed and they found themselves in the street together with the gas fixtures and the pews. The compromise was made with the holders of the mortgage. The congregation gave them money again by taking a mortgage of $6,500 and paying off $4,000 it immediately. This left a mortgage of $2,500 still to be raised, and it was this mortgage that was burned last Wednesday night. All the Baptist churches were represented, and congratulatory speeches were made by Rev. H. B. Steelman of the Woodland Park Baptist church and Dr. O. A. Williams, superintendent of the Baptist board of home missions. Addresses were also made by the pastor Rev. D. W. Carter Geo. W. James J. H. Hickman Gail of Mesa A. M. E. church and F. L. McGhee. The choir furnished a special program, which was very pleasing, including a quintette by Mesdames, L. H. King, W. Green, W. D. Carter, H. High. Miss Hattie Grissom and a solo by Mr. S. Edward Hall. It was announced by the pastor that a balance of $50 was due to clear the church entirely of debt and a collection was raised to wipe it out so that when the mortgage was burned there would be no debt. The pastor liberalized the amount of $49 covered Mr. J. Q. Adams of The Appeal stepped forward and paid the last dollar and freed the church entirely of the debt. The ashes of the mortgage were purchased by Mrs. W. T. Francis for 75 cents. After the exercises every body who desired was THE APPEAL & A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER Forty-Fourth Semi-Annual REDUCTION SALE. Big Mark-Downs in All Departments.

Mr. Seventh and Jackson Sts., ST. PAUL, MINN. GRO. H. PRINCE, Cashier H. W. PARKER, Asst. Cashier Address of the National Afro-American Press Association. To the People of the United States. At the twenty-fourth annual meeting of the National Afro-American Press Association held at Fifth Avenue Baptist Church, Louisville, Ky., Monday, June 29, 1903, the following address welcomes the National Afro-American Press Association at its twenty-fourth annual meeting in Louisville, Ky., feel that in the present crisis in the history of the Afro-American people, when a systematic and thoroughly organized movement, begun in 1868, is working with malicious and malignant energy to utterly destroy the civil and political rights of those for whom we stand in some part as spokesmen, it is necessary to re-affirm and emphasize the following principles and generally championed by all Afro-American newspapers, and to request the masses of the people to live up, as far as they can, to the letter and spirit of these principles. We resent the reiterated statement that this is a "white man's country." It was made in its inception and development by all of its people, irrespective of race, and the Federal Constitution specifically places all of its citizens on equality before the law. With our heterogeneous population of all of the races on the globe, if distinction and abuse of race on account of race should ever become a fixed policy of the Government, the disruption of the Government would be inevitable. God has created no one race to lord over any other race, for "of one blood made He all mankind." The persistent effort which has been made and is being made to nullify the suffrage guarantees of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments to the Federal Constitution is fraught with as much danger to the peace and security of the Federal Union as was the effort to hitch slavery union the Constitution The Plymouth Clothi Established 1882.

This effort has caused constant irritation of the public mind and temper since 1868, and there promises in the near future to be a crisis, which the wrongs and the wrongs which have grown up under the legislation of several of the States will have to be definitely settled. We claim nothing more than what is guaranteed to all citizens by the Federal Constitution and made mandatory upon the States, and we will be satisfied with no less. President Lincoln declared that "this country cannot exist half slave and half free," and we declare that this country cannot exist in peace, security and prosperity where one-seventh of the total population has its civil and political rights abridged or denied, to the debasement of manhood and womanhood by the late slave-holding States. Denial of these rights have worked irresistibly for the denial or abridgement of all the related rights of citizenship, because a voteless man of a truth, has no right which any man is bound to respect. We believe firmly in the healing virtues of sound religion and sound education; and by education we mean a thorough training in all useful learning of the head, heart and hand. The idea that Southern Caucasians pay the taxes necessary to educate the Southern Afro-American is an economic absurdity which would only be advanced as an argument by persons who seek to befog the public intelligence. Each man standing in his place in every community pays as much taxes as any other man. This is an economic truism which no reputable master of social conditions, from Adam Smith to the present, has disputed. We again direct attention to the effect produced by the license of the mob spirit. We do this not because we are the victims in most part of this license, but because it has become a national problem with which the nation in its public opinion and its laws must deal or ultimately go down to ruin in the mad overflow of anarchistic Defective Page WE ARE LEADERS.

It is a national problem in which we have only co-ordinate interest. Criminal instincts abide in the bone and blood of all races and the primal function of society, from the dawn of history, has been to protect itself from excesses of such by laws and legal processes. Mob license is a feature of crime more dangerous to the well being and perpetuity of society than the isolated infractions of law by individuals. We heartily commend the brave and patriotic position taken by President Roosevelt in the enforcement of the Federal Constitution and the laws based upon it, irrespective of private interest or of race, and we do this without any political bias whatsoever. As we condemn the unfaithful public servant unsparingly we deem it wise, equally unsparingly, to communicate faithful public servant, especially in these times when so many men in high places are false to their principles and the best interest of the whole people.

The liair who the editor hates worst of all (if,) man who, when dunned for a yea subscription, says he only received two or three copies during the year, and refuses pay.—Clarksville Graphite. Next to, if not above this one, the editor hates a liar who takes the paper seven or eight years, and when finally cornered for settlement, says he never ordered the paper at all.—Pike County Post. But the worst liar of the whole outfit is the man who moves the paper service, who moves away without paying or saying anything about it, and yet says he is an honest man.—Elsbury Advance. Bretnren, you all fall short of the truth. The biggest liar in the lot is the editor who publishes the obituary of these aforesaid liars and intimates that they have gone to heaven.

A senate bill and a house bill incorporating the town of Adams in Umatilla county were passed by both houses and reached the governor, who signed them both. They were supposed to be exactly alike, but on examination it was found that the boundaries are slightly differently defined.

It is evident to the thoughtful among us that we are passing through one of the most critical periods of our existence in the world. We are in a time when we concern the liberty and well being of one-eighth of the United States and scarcely to less degree the whole population of the country. We never before. The recorded experience of mankind teaches that in public matters the equality of each is the surest guarantee of our well-being. Members of society. If it be true that the country can not endure 'half free and half slave it follows as a necessary corollary that the umbrella of no state can with safety be held by equal parts, into voters and non-voters. We heartily commend the Afro-Americans 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 we call the country to a condition of service on many farms in a number of the Southern states resembling we must prevent the Promenade system and violate the Threat of Government to the Federal Constitution, and ask for legislation looking to the remedying of the crisis. We submit our protest against the unfair practices in the transportation of the livestock and the imitation unjustly against Afro-Americans; requiring of them the highest rates for travel and providing in return the poorest conditions to prevent discrimination; voke the exercise of the powers of the Inter-State Commerce Commission, by ratifying to prevent discrimination in rates and accruals; and state passengers. We appeal to the Congress of the United States to appoint upon the several measures now pending therein for the appointment of a commission to investigate the Afro-Americans of the country. We heartily endorse the deliverances of President Obama and the fitness for appointment to office, and the attitude of the Federal Government toward race or color. He has imparted new life and vigor to the time-honored principles and traditions of human rights, and has worked to struggle heroclysm beneath the burden of hate and proscription.
