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. CRY THAT WON THEM CAPT. LYSAGHT KNEW MEN HE COMMANDED. Not Pleased at the idea of Fighting Fellow Countryman, the Emmett Guard Were There as One Man to Face the British Lion. A little party were discussing one day last week the Emmet anniversary. The conversation led one of them to relate the following reminiscence: "The first military organization I ever belonged to was the Emmet Guards," he said. It should be explained that he came from another state than New York. "Every member was a stalwart in physique and we were all young men. "Our captain was Dan Lysaght, a merchant of our town, who was one of the most popular fellows you ever saw. He was a patriot true, brave man and a believing in his soul that when Ireland was freed the Emmet Guards would be largely responsible for that blessed event. "We were the crack organization of the town and we always turned out, no matter what the occasion. We had just got our new uniforms and accountrements when the civil war broke out in this country. "We were a part of the State Guard, and our state was strongly Southern and the governor was a Secesh, we went into camp with the other militia of our town and country when the governor ordered us so to do. "Things were getting pretty hot, I can tell you, and the word was passed round that we would soon be called upon to take the oath of allegiance to the C. S. A. and to join Pa Price as the general of the Confederate Army. He was the marching on Lexington, where our countryman, Col. Mulligan, made his first gallant stand for the Union. "It was pretty hard, boys, for the Emmet Guards to think of going against Col. Mulligan, and the situation was discussed at our campfires. Naturally, there was a suspicion in camp that the Emmet Guards were not sound for Secesh, and the Colonel in command put up a job to test the Guards' mettle against a lightship. In the middle of the night the word was passed around that the enemy was upon us. When a courier aroused Capt. Lysage he tumbled into his uniform and went to every tent, and, shaking the flap of one tent, called out bravely: "Fall in, fall in, Emmet Guards! We are attacked!" "Would you believe me, not a man in captain's light was caraged. He was as passive as he was plucky, and the idea that the Emmet Guards would not turn out to repel an attack made him furious and white at the same time." "My God, men!" he said, 'what is the matter of ye.' "And still the Emmet Guards remained docile, on might say. Then Capt. Lysaight used a bit of strategy. Passing along the line of tents he called out. "Emmet Guards, awake and fall! Fall in, for the British lion is loose mongst ye!" "Ah, as Byron said of the heavy sound that broke up the revelry in Brussels by night, then and there was a hunt in the forest." Even Emmet Guards fell in and stood well to be led on. The colonel commanding heard of us, and then the word was passed that it was a false alarm, and the Emmet Guards went back to their bunks. "Did you join Price in the fight on Mulligan?" asked one. "Some of us joined Price, but not until after Mulligan had surrendered. The Emmet Guards would never have fought Mulligan, depend upon that. But the Guards were sworn to turn out on the hunt." But the oath that oath established our reputation as warriors in the old Secsch cann."—New York Sun. Quit Kicking Quit kicking, man. The world's not bad, man. I want to be the best.

Sperry celebrated their golden wedding; or, rather, the friends and relatives of the old couple gave them a surprise party in commemoration of that anniversary. Among the guests was Mrs. Irons, a professional lecturer, and she was chosen to deliver an address of congratulation. This she did in the highest style of the art, fairly making the air hum with sentiment and eloquence. After she had finished Father Sperry rose to reply "Well," he said, "me and mother are proud of all of you"—Kansas City (Mo.) Journal of re. HAD BUT ONE PERSONALITY. All Right Now, But What of the Future? At the recent launching in Philadelphia of the armored cruiser Pennsylvania, John D. Long, the former secretary of the navy, told an amusing yarn about a sailor. "I used to know," he said. "In my army, the sailor a sailor of a religious cast of mind. This sailor and a magistrate once took me fishing. "I had good luck and so had the sailor, but the magistrate's luck was very poor. He didn't get a nibble. During the time I hailed in eight fish and the sailor seventen, the magistrate's cork never so much as bobbed. He sat on the bank with nothing to say, smoking moodily. "Suddenly he hooked a tremendous fish—a five-pounder at least. Just as he and to land his sail his line broke. "He dashed down his pipe, and for several minutes he swore dreadfully. The sailor took him to task." "You ought to be ashamed," he said, "magistrate like you, one that's supposed to set an example, cursing and swearing like a street rowdy—before this here boy, too. You, a magistrate! "Oh, it ain't as a magistrate that I'm swearing. It's as a fisherman," says the other. "That's all right about that now, said the sailor, 'but in the hereafter, when the devil takes the fisherman, what will become of the magistrate?" THE FALL OF THE LEAF. How Thoroughly Nature Prepares for Her Off Season Dr. Andrew Wilson writes in the Illustrated London News: "The story of the fall of the leaf is an interesting one. It teaches us how nature prepares for her off season, in one respect at least. The vitality of the leaf is lessened. Its sap no longer suffices for its nourishment, and even if the vital fluid were supplied to the leaf its cells, worn out, are no longer capable of utilizing the nourishment afforded. Then comes a time when nutrition falls off. It is not demolished and nails are cut off the leaves. Changes ensecure in the structure of the leaf. We find a layer of corky substance formed between the leaf-stalk and the branch. Cork is always in plants, a tissue of low vitality; when it is fully formed it represents practically a dead substance. This layer, therefore, serves as the boundary line between that which is living in the plant and that which is dead or dying in the leaf. Then comes dryness, always fatal-to-plant tissues. The corky layer shows a line of demarcation which rapidly increases in thickness, finally the breath of the autumn winds causes the separation to be completed and the dead leaf falls to the ground." The Amber Industry. The other day it was reported from Prussia that, though the amber industry had been dull of late, the trade in imitation amber had been highly satisfactory. It now seems, smokers will be interested to know, that even the briar root pipe is not what it is supposed to be. The briar root of commerce is the root of the large growing heath. Briar in this connection is said to be a corruption of "bruyere" (heath). The briar root industry has had a somewhat curious history. First begin in the Pyrenees some fifty years ago, it traveled along the French Riviera and the Ligurian coast (taking Corsica by the way), and moved in the south. By the very nature of the business, when a certain district has been exhausted of all its roots, the industry must come to an end there. The Italian branch is not expected to survive more than ten years. An Early to Bed City In Vienna every man's home is practically his prison from 10 o'clock at night until 6 in the morning. The Austrian capital is a city of flats, and at 10 o'clock each night the entrance door of each block is locked. Any one passing in or out after that time must pay the concierge a fine, the amount of which is twopence up till midnight and fourpence from then till 6 in the morning. Going out to post a letter after 10 o'clock entails the payment of a fine, another for being let in, while prolonging a visit to a friend's after 10 o'clock would also involve two times, the first -at one might quit a friend's house and the second that one might enter one's own. The result of this irritating tax is that Vienna is the earliest to-bed capital in Europe. Unappeased. Little Corina had in her extreme youth been passionately fond of dolls, abut a trifle destructive of them. There came a day, a "strange, sad day," when sawdust and false hair no longer fascinated her. She demanded a real baby. Her parents protested that the realization of her demand would involve them in financial ruin. "I don't believe real babies are so expensive as you think they are!" exclaimed Corina. "I see every day just lots and lots of ever so poor people with them." Heaven. If heaven lacks the face I know; If the willings hold, the heart most true; That made me happy every minute; The willing hands, the heart most true; The tender kiss we knew at parting; The merry laugh, the harmless fun; The make-believing and sweethearting; If heaven lacks a little home; If the willings hold, the heart most true; Who'll cheer me when I cease to roam; So can I, my heart, be common; If heaven lacks the winning smile; That left me ever willing debtor; If heaven lacks the winning smile. THE APPEAL. Now is the Time To Begin Making Christmas For Thank's Caller Have you begun to make Christmas presents? If not you are a little late, even now, for the new Christmas gifts take time, if they do not take money. If you are going to give a Christmas present, modern, yet without price, you can take and make a nice little bag, using silkline. It will make up nicely, and on the outside you can embroider a monogram and can pepper the bag with French knots. It is for fancy work. And, if you so desire, you can work the words "Fancy Work" upon the reverse of the bag. Thank's Guild Your gift will be pretty, acceptable—and cheap. But if you want to put a little more time and a little more money into it you can get up something a great deal nicer. Suppose you make a parsee bag. It should be eight inches across and twelve inches long. bag is to hold fancy work and must be be enough for a big piece of embroidery. This bag is unlined and its foundation is a piece of satin. You can use cloth if you prefer and for this a sort of shiny faced ladies' cloth is good. Let it be thin and have it of an oriental color. Good oriental tones are dull brown, about the shade of strong coffee, deep red, the color called watermelon pink, the color called amber, and for vivid for western ideas of beauty. Your groundwork does not matter so much, for you are going to work your SCRAP BOX IN BURBY WOOD HAND PAINTED bag almost entirely over with fancy stitches and the background will dis-appear Remember that your parsec bag is to be unlined and that therefore its reverse side must be done neatly, no long stitches and no mixed up threads. And little crocheted wheels, made by crocheting a fancy stitch over little curtain pole rings, are applied to the bag so to form a pattern. And so you keep on, working and designing, and working, until your bag is covered with handiwork. Run a stout cord— Presents. not a ribbon—through the top; and you have a handsome Christmas present. The new art collars and cuffs are well worth a place in the Christmas worker's work basket. They are made out of canvas, or denim, scrim or coarse linen. The coarser the material the better the result. And they linens that cost little, the great, heat wave of canvases, such as are used for chair coverings and for chair arunds in the summer time, all man good and up to date art table spreads. Let them be cut about two yards long and narrow for the length, an then, with facile needle, let the wombs who is getting ready for Christmas O are cut in the shape of a wide turnover band for the neck. And there are wide turnover cuffs for the wrists. After the linen, or canvas, scrim, or whatever other heavy white material is employed has been cut into collar and cuff shapes the hand of the worker takes hold. The collar and cuffs can be drawn with openwork, if desired. But if openwork is too difficult or too trying to the eyes there are other ways of managing. One lovely pair of Christmas cuffs is made of heavy plain white linen, deep and beautiful in texture. Around the edge of the cuffs is wrought a deep bead on the back of the collar with a design below. This is done in a gaudy red, the brightest possible tone being chosen. The same is done for the collar. A heavy white canvas turnover collar was embroidered with a band of china blue embroidery at least three inches deep, and the embroidery was of the coarse kind, with long running stitches. The collar was a beauty and now lies in a sachet cloth, to come out perfumed on the day of Christmas gift. The embroidered or drawn stock, the decorated pair of linen cuffs, and the hand made belt are all numbered high in the list of popular Christmas gifts. A Christmas art set makes a nice Christmas gift. The art set consists of a white canvas belt with harness buckle. The belt is an inch wide and is worked in cross stitch design. The same plan is carried out for the collar and cuffs. The art set, laid out on the proper box, is a name of the owner letter. The outside, makes a delightfully personal Christmas present. The latest acquisition to the family of Christmas table covers consists of a strip of heavy stuff about a foot wide. This is trimmed at each end with a crocheted edge, done in colored twine. Twine, by the way, will be largely used in Christmas decoration. It makes a nice border, instead of fringe, and can be worked with a crochet hook and sewed on the material. Again, twine is used for the making of small wheels. These are done in different sizes, from the size of a dime to the size of a trade dollar. The wheels are applied to the table cover, the chair backs, and the spreads of all kinds, and nice ornament ents they make. The heavy sks go, the coarse Defective Page linens that cost little, the great, heavy weave of canvases, as are used for chair coverings and for chain shrouds in the summer time, all make good and up to date art table spreads. Let them be cut about two yards long and narrow for the length, and then, with facile needle, let the woman who is getting ready for *Christmas* go to work upon them. The new art table covers are all remarkable for the fact that their background is almost completely covered with handwork. There are all sorts of strange figures, cut out of the goods and applied to the covers; and there are strange veinings and stranger stitches used to hou them in place. The beauty of this kind of work, from the standpoint of the worker, is that it is not critical work. Any kind eritches it used to hold them in place. chance to study any one of the designs critically. All are mixed in with the general scheme, which is that of completely covering the background. There is less of the actual patchwork done this year than ever before. The crazy quilt designs have largely gone out, but bits of silk are placed together to make new art covers of a different kind. A large "block" is made and pieces are sewed on the outside until the "block" has reached the right size. This is the up to date nouveau art cover, or spread, or chair back. The making of a scrap box is one of the things which the girl who is making Christmas presents must have for her birthday. It has taken the place of the scrap basket, and a worthy substitute it is. To make a scrap box you take heavy pieces of pasteboard about four inches wide and gradually widening toward the top. They can be about twelve inches tall. These four pieces of pasteboard are laced together at the sides, so that when laced they form a perfect box. The bottom is glued in by using heavy strips of brown paper on the inside. Or the bottom can be laced in. The outside is now decorated with water sketches or a little rough art work in the way of the application of pretty pictures. *But there are more artistic scrap boxes, and these require the assistance of a capable carpenter. The material is thin wood which is beautiful white in color, or it can be dark if you prefer the deeper, woods. Any color will do. The sides, which are about four inches by ten inches, are cut out by the penter, and grazed with the scrap boardward. The scrap box will be wider at the top than at the bottom. The carpenter now bores holes in the wooden pieces. And finally, they are laced together with stout leather strips, which are as tough as strips can be. They are laced from the bottom to the top and tied in a stout little knot. The bottom is done in the same way. Any boy could make such a box, and if he is artistic or has an artistic A MOOK PAG IN PALOSE EMBROIDERY sister, the box can be decorated with poker work or with burnt work of any sort. Those who have electric light can purchase a pointed implement and do some nice burnt work. The particular virtues of a scrap box of the wooden sort, with the sides laid together and the bottom laced ... is that it can always be taken apart and cleaned, and that it can never wear out. All Christmas gifts must have the new art touch. Last year's Christmas presents are away out of date and they show at once that they are not all that they should be. The newau art fad has struck the domestic woman with the talented needle must learn all the tricks of the newau art school. Harnessing her needle with a bright thread, she must work birds and animals and all sorts of strange flying things. And over all and through all she must put the touches of orientalism in the shape of bright colors and their combinations. if she will do this, and will begin easily enough, hr Christmas gifts, instead of going forth with an apology for the mistake, with the mound greeting of the day. THE DUTCH COURTSHIP MONTH. November is Held Sacred to the God of Love. In Holland November is held sacred to courtship. The four Sundays of November are observed as fete days in Holland. They are known by the curious names—review, decision, purchase and possession; and all refer to matrimonial affairs. November in Holland being the month par excellence devoted to courtship and marriage, probably because agricultural occupations of the year are over, and possibly because the lords of creation from remote antiquity have recognized the pleasurance of having wine to cook and cater for them during the long winter. On review Sunday everybody goes to church, and after service there is a church parade in every village, when the youths and maidens gaze upon each other, but forbear to speak. On decision Sunday, each bachelor who is seeking a wife approaches the maiden of his choice with a ceremonial bow, and, from her manner of responding, judges whether his advances are acceptable. On purchase Sunday the consent of the parents is sought if the suit has prospered during the week. Not until possession Sunday, however, do the twain appear before the world as actual or prespective brides and grooms. WHY HE QUIT THE CHURCH Senator Hoar's Barber Relates a Story of Fortune's Changing Favor. Senator Hoar of Massachusetts, always cleanly shaven and usually fastidious in his choice of a barber, tells this story of the colored gentleman who was accustomed to remove the surplus hair from his face when he visited Boston. The knight of the razor was named Dickson. One morpheus who was accustomed to conversation by saying: "I believe you are a member of the African church in street?" "No, sah; not at all, sah," was the reply made with much dignity. "Ah, I thought you were when I was here last." "But not this yah, sah." "Ah, have you resigned?" "Wal, sah, it was dis way: I jined dat church in good faith and de fust yeah I give ten dollars to the stated gospel, and all de church people calls me "Brudder Dickson." De second yeah ma biness fell off, en I give five dollars; en all de church people dey call me "Mister Dickson." Do dis razer ma be nice, do dis razer ma be very easy." "Thank yah sah; well, de third yeah I feel so pooh dat I don't give nuttin' "tall fur prechin', en all de church people day me by en say 'dat oiler Dickson.' After dat I quit 'em.' Couldn't Stump "Uncle Billy." Col. Evan P. Howell, mayor of Atlanta, Ga., tells a story of one "Uncle Billy," the autocrat and know-all of the country settlement in which he lived. Uncle Billy had to live up to the reputation of never having been stumped by a question. One day at the country store, where Uncle Billy and his clan were wont to gather, the question was sprung at the door. "What was the word being encountered in a newspaper one of the men was reading. Uncle Billy was finally appealed to. The old man took the paper, scrutinized the word, reflected a full minute, and then said, with his usual sententiousness, "Waal, boys, I can't say adackly what this word means, but it's some part of the innards of a hog."—New York Times. What Webster Did With Money. Secretary Root, on the day he sailed for England, told a member of the national boundary commission, told an interesting story of Daniel Webster's boyhood. "Little 'Dan' and his younger brother," said Mr. Root, "had each been given some money. They started out gleefully, and it was evening before they got back home. "Well, Dan,' said the senior Webster, "what did you do with your money?" "Spent it,' the boy answered sturdily. "And how about you? What did you do with your money?' the father asked the younger brother. "I lent it to Dan," was the reply." The Oldest Mummy. The oldest mummy yet discovered, a unique relic now in the British Museum, is the body of a man about 5 feet 9 inches in height. A bit of hair yet remaining surges that its original color was fair, the hands and feet are small and the intellectual formation of the head indicates that the man was of a superior race. It is believed that he represents the original inhabitants of Egypt, who were conquered by Asiatic invaders and subsequently intermingled with the conquerors to form the race known as Egyptians. The oval grave in sandstone rock was covered with large slabs of stone and surrounded by flints and earthenware pottery. I know that he will never show. In any little way. Go out and remorse; he'll be in the fight to stay; And yet, I salute my enemy, For he fights in the open, and valiantly at that. MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY. $2.40 PER YEAR. MADE USE OF MICE BRILLIANT IDEA OF THRIFTY SCOTCHMAN. Dumferline Man Had Scheme by Which Household Pets Could Be Made to Furnish Motive Power to Run His Thread Mill. Thrift is generally acknowledged to be one of the leading characteristics of the native of Fifeshire, and it never was more forcibly exemplified than in the person of David Hutton, a native of Dumferline, who actually proved that even mice, those acknowledged pests of mankind, could be made not to earn their own living but also to yield a respectable income to their owners. About the year 1850 this gentleman actually erected a small mill at Dumferline for the manufacture of thread—a mill worked entirely by mice. It was while visiting Perth prison in 1812 that Mr. Hutton first conceived this remarkable idea of utilizing mouse power. In an old pamphlet of the time, "The Curiosity Coffee Room," he gave an account of the way in which the idea dawned on him. "In the summer of the year 1812," he wrote, "had occasion to be in Perth, and when inspecting the toys and trinkets that were manufactured by the French prisoners in the depot there my attention was involuntarily attracted by a little toy house, with a wheel in the gable of it that was run by a horse. I was impressed by insignificant gravity of a common house mouse. For one shilling I purchased house, mouse and wheel. Inclosing it in a handkerchief, on my journey homeward I was compelled to contemplate its favorite amusement. But how to apply half-power power (which is the weight of a mouse) to a useful purpose was the difficulty. At length the manufacturing of sewing thread seemed the most practicable." Mr. Hutton had one mouse that ran the amazing distance of eightteen miles a day, but he proved that an ordinary mouse could run ten and one-half miles on an average. A halfpenny worth of oatmeal was sufficient for its support for thirty-five days, during which it ran 736 miles. He had actually two mice that consumed the thread for more than a year. The mouse thread mill was so constructed that the common house mouse was enabled to make atonement to society for past offenses by twisting, twinging and reeling from 100 to 120 threads a day. Sundays not excepted. To perform this task, the little pedestrian had to run ten and one-half miles and this journey it performed with ease every day. A halfpenny worth of oatmeal served one of these thread mill culprits for the long period of five weeks. In that time it made 2,350 threads of twenty-one hundred miles and this journey to women for every hank made in the ordinary way, the mouse, at that rate, earned ninepence "every six weeks, just one farthing a day, or seven shillings and sixpence a year. Taking sixpeace off for board, and allowing one shilling for machinery, there was a clear yearly profit from each mouse of six shillings. Mr. Hutton firmly intended to apply for the loan of the empty cathedral in Dunfermline, which would have held, he calculated, 10,000 mouse dollars, 10,000 keepers and some hundreds of spectators. Death, however, overtook the inventor before this marvelous project could be carried out.—Edinburgh Scotsman. HARD ON THE CLERK. But the Merchant Had to Try to Save a Customer. A merchant having a lady customer whose account did not appear satisfactory, recently instructed his clerk to write for payment. To this request the customer sent a polite note, saying that some money would be sent. A fortnight, meantime, elapsed, during which the bill crept up a few more dollars, and, no money coming to hand, another letter was forwarded, threatening extreme measures unless the account were promptly settled. The lady, however, having received some money, immediately sent the amount required, together with a curt intimation that she intended to close the account. "Now, what shall we do father?" said the customer, who was clerk, private secretary, cashier, etc. "That's another customer lost." "Do" replied the old man promptly. "Why, write to her at once, and say that the thick-headed clerk wrote to the wrong customer, and that he's discharged for such disgraceful carelessness." Ways of Long Ago. Ways of Long Ago. Last night I dreamed I was awake. Then, waking up, I dreamed. My mind just went without a break. To where the waters gleamed And dimpled down beside the road. I saw the willows I trall. Along the street like I knowed. I saw the teeter-tall, and heard the bluejay call, and call, And saw the eddies swing In curves below the waterfall, An heard the robins sing. And I was just a boy, and walked The ways of long ago. To the cathedral came and mocked Just like I used to know. And in the orchard loaded down The heavy branches swung. And in its coat of sober brown The thrush its matins sung. And breezes moved the ripening grains In billows to and fro. And I was just a boy again In ways of long ago. Oh, welcome dreams that take us back To childhood's happy days! Along some well-remembered track In pleasant woodland ways! Oh, welcome song of orioles And thrush's matins clear That brings us back the orchard knolls Till we can hear the lullabies And feel the rhythmic swing That used to lull our tired eyes When mother used to sing.

Address, THE APPEAL, 49 East 4th St., St. Paul, Minn "We ask Thee, Lord, that Thou will raise up a man who will save us from this new and damnable heresy that this is a white man's country, and that there is no place here for the black man. Raise up some widow's son, who is now at his mother's knee, to the task of saving the black slave of to-day — not from the shackles of iron, but from the shackles of prejudice, and save the black race from hatred, save the white man from his supercilious contempt, from his degradation, and lift him up until he can learn to love his fellowmen framed in God's own image." Prayer by Rev. Nowell Dwight Nillis, pastor of Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, New York. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1903 The latest from Lynchland is to the effect that the "body of an unknown Negro was discovered hanging to a tree 1 mile from Cordele, Ga. The body was found by two bulleti is equally investigations have not been able to discover the man's identity." If the man had committed a crime it is likely that the daily press, ever ready to show the bad side of the race, would have published a brief account of a case of murder pure and simple, without any extenating circumstances whatever. The school authorities of Chicago show by statistics that the Afro-American children attend school more regularly, are more punctual, and are in general better discipline than the white pupils, yet the Chicago Tribune is endeavoring to start a separate school agitation. The Southerners who continue to criticise President Roosevelt for appointing Afro-Americans to office ought to know that Cleveland when President made more appointments of Afro-Americans than Mr. Roosevelt has. The Atlanta Constitution is thoroughly convinced that the Fifteenth Amendment is void, but may conclude that it is mistaken when Congress enforces the amendment by cutting down Southern representation. Persistent efforts having been made by malicious persons to misrepresent the position of THE APPEAL and its publisher, Cyrus Field Adams, it becomes necessary to reiterate the principles for which this paper and Mr. Adams have stood since its first issue and been years in the making. THE APPEAL has been conducted a high profile and has avoided, as much as possible, all personal and newspaper controversies. Here is the platform of THE APPEAL and Cyrus Field Adams: 1. This is not a white man's country as persistently claimed by the Southern press. By right of birth and in residence, American claims his share of American citizenship, and the Federal constitution specifically places all of its citizens on equality before the law. 2. The statements of those who claim that the Caucasian race, which constitutes but one-fourth of the total population, is necessarily ordained by God to rule all other races is akin to blasphemy. The granting of suffrage to the Afro-American people was NOT a mistake and it has NOT proved a failure. We believe in manhood suffrage with respect to the qualifications whatever, and contend that the law-abiding man of good character, who does his duty as a citizen and risks his life in defense of the flag, should not be deprived of the ballot because he is poor and cannot read or write. We have always refused to consider the proposition that we rellain quisher any of the political or civil rights we no possess. We should have no coffee or tea to have and regain those which have been nullified. Denial of these rights has worked irresistibly for the denial or abridgment of all the related rights of citizenship, because a voteless man has no right which any one is bound to response. 5. We do not believe that the Afro-American should be restricted to any particular kind of education, but that every parent should determine the kind of education to be given to receive and that the schools supported by public taxation should be open to all regardless of race, color or creed. We believe in higher education and professional education. 6. We firmly believe that in a republic there can be but one kind of citizen, hence deny the right of the government to generalize any or all crimes by citizens by the enactment of any law which specifies that the Afro-American must be separated from or treated differently from the great body of citizens who are generally opposed to any class legislation. 7. We dispute the contention that Southern Caucasians pay the taxes necessary to educate the Southern Afro-American. This is an economic necessity, and the authority of as an argument by persons who seek to beef the public intelligence. That each man standing in his place in every community pays as much taxes as any other man is an economic necessity, and the social conditions, from Adam Smith to the present, has disputed. 8. THE APPEAL believes in the sacredness of pure womanhood, and the man of any race who insults, assaults or abuses another man should be legally punished in the severest manner laid down by the law. 9. We know that the race has been maliciously misrepresented in the materials of the appeal to prove that the Afro-American race is a race of rapists have been resented and disproved by statistics published in THE APPEAL. We have shown that the Caucasian commits the most womanhood than the Afro-American. 10. We are opposed to mob law and believe that mob license is more dangerous to the well-being and perpetuity of society than the isolated infractionalism. 11. We do not believe the Southern people are the best friends of the race and will never consent to allow the South to be the court of last resort in the solution of the scaled race problem. 12. We are opposed to the convict case system of the South and believe that the chain gang, which is but a school of crime, should be wiped out of existence. This is the platform of THE AP-PEAL and of Cyrus Field Adams. We believe that since the initial number of the paper and the files will prove it. We hereby reaffirm our determination to continue the battle for every right to which we are justly entitled, as good citizens loyal to the flag, and come what may, we will never give up the right to about the absolute equality under the law. THE APPEAL does not consider Mr. Washington the national political leader of the race. There is no national political leader, for the race he led. Frederick Douglas came near to what the ideal race leader should be than any Afro-American who ever lived, yet he was assailed by almost the entire race press of his day. Mr. Washington is one of the most list in education. He thoroughly believes in industrial training which he has exploited in every possible way. He has confined himself to his speciality and Tuskegee tells the story of his work along industrial educational lines. THE APPEAL thinks for itself. Our platform was made before we met Mr. Washington and it has never changed. No association with him or any other man has affected our position, the foregoing fundamental principles. We stand today where we stood twenty years ago and malicious persons can not make the public believe that we have abandoned any of the peoples enumerated in our platform. THE HOUSTON CHRONICLE. THE HOUSON CHRONICLE The Houston, Texas, Chronicle, recently issued a statement of its second anniversary, which was very creditable as a mechanical production. The spirit of its editorial columns is bad. On the race question it mentions, the greatest South and smallest doubtful honor of having been the first newspaper to advocate the John Temple Graves theory of the separation of the race. The Chronicle was one of the chief factors in the law which has recently become effective in Houston. The Chronicle has proved itself opposed in every way to the best interests of 20,000 Armenians, and the population of the thriving Texas city, and yet in the anniversary number this paper has the nerve to say: "The one thing that has always guided the Chronicle has been the determination without prejudice and without pandering. The Chronicle will continue to be THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER. a journal of the people serving the whole body of honest citizens and not "my special clique or class exclusively." The Chronicle has pandered to the vilest prejudices and it is the organ of a special class. In the column headed "What Houston Needs" the Chronicle should put first: LESS RACE PREJUDICE. SUFERAGE IN ALABAMA. Wilford H. Smith, attorney for Jackson W. Giles and Dan Rogers in the suits of the former against the board of registrars of Montgomery county, Ala., and of the latter against the state of Alabama, has entered a motion in the United States supreme court to consolidate the cases and advance their hearing. Giles and Rogers are both Aro-Americans, and the cases involve the question of whether the suffrage provisions of the new constitution of Alabama are repugnant to the constitution of the United States. The Giles case is a revival in another form of the case formerly decided against him by this court on account of the refusal of the registrars to register him as a voter. The case of Rogers is a prosecution for murder, the indictment and the panel of petit jurors on the ground that the qualified members of his race had been excluded from the jury on account of their race and color, and that the jury panels were made up from the list of qualified electors, and that his race had been excluded from that list by reason of his race. The constitution of Alabama, which by their operation practiced exclusively Alfro-Americans from the electorate for no other reason than their race and color, while all white men possessing the same qualification, except color, were admitted and qualified. The board of registrars of Montgomery county relied on motion to consolidate the sense of the want of similarity to the two cases. The report of the rape of a white girl by a white man in Greenville, S.C. in the Charleston News and Courier is headed: "Charlie Patterson, White, Charged With Ruining a Young Girl." The correspondent ends his report with a statement that he deemed, but there is no excitement. Of course there is no excitement. It was a Caucasian who committed the crime, and for nearly three hundred years Caucasians have outraged black women. Now white rapists are turning up. Such affairs are "generally condemned," but there is no attempt to lynch the white brute. It's another story when a black brute assaults a woman The Pan-American Congress at Bishops in session at Washington this week is considering the question of drawing the color line in sending missiles to Syria on the day when no one is "considering" the color line in this country, the only one on the face of the globe that declares "all men are born free and equal," the only one that hangs its banner on the wall of the building the syrians "Come all that are down trodden and oppressed of all nations, here you will find a haven of rest, where every one may worship God under his own vine and figs, with none to molest or make one afraid." In an address before the Delta Phi fraternity in New York Justice Bischof of New York pointed out that mob law is old as the world, and says the cause of lynching is the law's decree. But it is certainly not true of the South where hundreds of men have been lynched for no crime except the color of their skins. The justice also thinks that the Sun is the best friend of the South where the Sun has many other thoughts on that subject. THE APPEAL hope that the Afro-American thug who has assaulted and robbed several women on one of Chicago's principal streetswill be caught and properly punished according to law. THE APPEAL has no sympathy with a criminal because he is black or white. The man who assaults and robbs a woman is a brute, and should be punished according to law. At a meeting of Afro-American miners from Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky, held at Terre Haute, Ind., resolutions were adopted against all organizations which make a color code for a criminal because the United Mineworkers because it draws no color line. The color line must go. Pierre de Coubertin, in the Paris Fligaro, writes on the everlasting problem, and reaches the conclusion that the Southerner ought not allow the Afro-American to vote. Coubertin has written, and what he does not know about the "problem" would fill a large book. The suggestion that Andrew Carnegie be asked to build separate public libraries for the Afro-Americans of the South is an unworthy one. We have too many separate institutions not only for institutions of every character-should be opened all citizens regardless of creed or color. The fake campaign button, which some Chicago white man originated, representing President Roosevelt and a black man dining together under the motto of "Liberty and Equality," is now being used in the Maryland campaign. The people are with Theodore Roosevelt. He is the most strenuous, difficult man to please, and his try has ever had. He will be nominated and elected President of the United States in 1904. A Chicago Jewish rabbi says that Eden and Adam are myths, and the apple was never eaten in the garden. That ought to be a great relief to some people. A Correction. THE APEAL made an error in its last issue in stating that the open letter sent by Cyrus Field Adams to the president of the body and we wish to correct it. The letter was not read to the convention, but as it was an open or public letter, we were given to a number of persons on the October 10, two days before the meeting. No Race Suicide.

The aut feelingly states that no mention is m His life as a farm laborer, was one of the few men he could tell, relieved occasionally by the comradeship of old "Uncle Kiah," a typical white boy, with whom he hunted possum at night, to admission to the local public school, because of his race, he would have been allowed to grow up in illiteracy and poverty. He was a member of a New England woman, living on an adjoining plantation who gave him prizes for his work, and commenced to expand, his ambition up ape, and he fretted like a caged bird, and he felt that his cell fell heavily upon his sensitive senses. On a hunting expedition one night with the Mountains, he took part in the law, and was condemned to a public whipping for a crime of which he has since been wronged to establish a law against his舍会 the incident for which he had been tried, was sent out of the jurisdiction of the court, and was granted the possibility of his exoneration. Saved, however, by a stay of execution obtained by the court, and is shortly afterward taken sick after rescuing a drowned woman. He is tracting to himself the friendship of his neighbors only served to increase their hatred and dislike of him, and the court ordered him to be assisted by his benefactress, a very dramatic scene is enacted, which results in his being sent to Harvard University, and is sent to Harvard University, where for the second time he meets Theodore Roosevelt and influences him into his life and influences him for good. Falling in love with a white girl living on an adjoining estate, his suffering becomes so intense at the realization of the disease. It is not only the result of the death of the man but also the loss of the life of the man that he is nearly driven crazy—was on the verge of infinity, when he confesses his love to the beautiful daughter of Colonel Custis, only to be treated with injustice. It is not only the result of the death of the man but also the loss of the life of the man that he is in reality a, white man of good birth, who had been given to "Mammy Sally" when a babe to raise, in order to bring the mother a night to spare the humiliation and disgrace of a clandestine marriage with a man who had killed her brother in a duel at college. The literary power of the writer may be seen from the following description of a man who is a “It marked the spot of a Negro graveyard. Here in the bramble infested with reptiles and the haunt of rabbits, slept the namelesss and unspotted men of toll, the faithful sons of Africa, who for many generations had watered these very fields with the sweat of their brow, harging with remarkable patience the subginging yoke of slavery, going to tell the day of the day of the day of the “like a galley slave to his dungeon,” night after night without change and without hope, only to fall down in the harvest field or the long furrow and be carted out to find rest at last under the shade of this old tree. Social Life in the Early Republic. By Anne Holleworth wharton. Profusely illustrated. $v.0. Buckman, gilim uncut edge. Philadelph. Philadelph. Within the last year or two there has been written a good deal of interesting life of the Republic and of the colonial period. Much of the matter that has been written about the Republic of Haiti of hastiness and ill preparation, and can hardly be classed as standard literature. Anne Hollingsworth Wharton, however, in her book *The Republic of Haiti* written historically and well. This lady wrote in the most strenuous period of development and evolution was not only well received by the public, but she look forward with much expectation to the present volume, which may be termed the first chapter on "A Social Evolution" carries one straight to the heart of the subject. Little prologues or apologies usually characterize works of this class. The author wrote little morals with that French politeness and delicacy of manner which render virtue and goodness to the village, who visited the principal cities of America soon after the Revolution. In 1880, Frenchman recorded that he discovered "mattress without luxury," and, if in other words, "mattress with comfort." He found more luxury and less neatness, in all of them he met cultivated men, and fitted them with attentive that for beauty and conversational ability they compared favorably with the other. In discussing the landed gentry of the southern states she writes: "In nothing were the English characteristics of the Southern settler more clearly shown than in his love for field sports. A Marylander character written by the�er, the number of horses that seemed almost tireless, and with dogs like the horses, they sometimes chased Reynard across the eastern peninsula from the Chesapeake to the Atlantic. The return journey and the stops at hospital mansions on the way, took more time than the pursuit of the fox, in the whole expedition sometimes lasted a week." In a chapter on "Jeffersonian Simplicity" she writes the following story: When Mrs. Madison gave expression to her sweeping strictures upon Democrats, she must have made a mental reservation of Mr. Jefferson, who is the son of a great writer. Indeed it was in consequence of Mr. Jefferson's having given the precedence to Mrs. Madison at a state dinner that he aroused the animosity of the British minister, Anthony Merry. White House etiquette does not seem to have occupied Mr. Jefferson's thoughts very considerably at this time and either a carer or a beaver of his defiant red-republicanism he quite seriously offended a number of people. The author writes interesting chapters on the politics, society and intellectual interests of the early inhabitants of the Republic. HISTORY OF THE GERMAN STRUGGY OF OE HERBERT History of the German Struggle for Liberty. By Pouytinne Bigelow. Volume 3. $2.25 net. New York: Harper & Brothers. The world in af need thought concerning the philosophy, science, and even the ology, it is absolutely barren as to biographies of the men who were prominent in the history of Waterloo, and ended in 1848. The author wrote in German l'Histoire of men above medico-obility who took part in that movement, and in interesting delving into thousands of pages to recount the record of the men of the information directed to page of which was enlisted by a personal encodote of the leaders of that movement. It is needless to say this popular uprising by those in power, and its leaders were ruthlessly sent to prison. Nevertheless the censor prohibited the circulation of documents urging any change in the preagravates to absolve absolute monarchy. The censor ever cared to confiscate private papers, and several patriots subsequently suspected, gashed and murdered those possessed would be destroyed either by fire. With this dearth of material to work upon the student can be assured the author impressed upon himself to acquire data from which he could struggle for liberty. That he has done his work well is apparent to any one who understands the conium can be given than to say it will stand as a monument to his unwarying industry and literacy in the human profession and a faithful history of the struggle of the German people for liberty. ANTISEMITMISM Anti-semitism Lazare, Translated from the French, Svo. P34. Cloth gift top, New York: Inprint, Publishers. Recent events in Russia have given this book a peculiar timeliness. It is a translation from the French, and its pages must have been written many months before those outbreaks gave a most painful interest to the Jewish question. The author is himself a Hebrew, and subject to all the odium that is implied in the title to his book, but this circumstance does not seem to have biased his judgment in the forming of his opinions. The case is certainly stated with great candor, and the blame is distributed with fairness. The fault is found to be not all on the part of the Gentile world, but the Israelite himself is charged with having brought much of the trouble to his people by manifest shortcomings. The treatment given the subject is his histiations between Jews and Gentiles are traced from the earliest times. Perhaps he learns how much of proselytizing has been carried on reciprocally between the He-terans and the Jews, and thus has resulted a greater mixture of race than Jews would, perhaps, willingly add to distinctions whether these be founded upon language, shape, or color, or even race, long however, the opinion prevails that races are distinct part and inferiority on the other part there is likely to be trouble between Jew and white. There are too many examples of this in the current history to read with profit by many who are called upon to decide questions daily arising --- The Real Benedict Arnold. By Charles Burr Todd, author of "The True Aaron Burr." 12mo. Cloth, illustrated; net, $1.20. New York: A. S. Barnes & Co. The "Realist" is one of the most known from the same term to have the front of the stage just now. An unpleasant impression has prevailed in many quarters that Benedict Arnold has not been fairly treated, that his services are very low, but the most important is the great fault was not over-emphasized perhaps, but unreasonably punished. Treachery to one's country far surpasses the other great treachery to one's friend, and not to be so far as to make it so much as to have, however, certain circumstances which explain the deed and modify the bitter condemnation. While not condoning, Arnold's treason, Mr. 12mo.�led his invaluable services to America, and shows conclusively that he four times saved the cause of the Colonies: first at the battle of Valour's island on Lake Champlain (the first naval battle) and on the first war in America, were engaged), where, by his desperate valor, he gave the British such wholesome respect for American arms that they gave up their plan of invasion from the North Sea. A second account of the siege of Fort Stanwix in the Mohawk Valley and putting to flight St. Leger's invading army marching to aid Burgoyne, and third and fourth by winning the two business of the Saga, which, conjoined, treasury included as one of the fifteen decisive battles of the world. Mr. Todd also shows that it was the care of losing her should her treasurable care respondence with the British officers be discovered which induced Armé to be convicted of losing her treasurable care of justice of Congress nor the calamities of patrials generals—the motives generally unique contribution to revolutionary hisstory. He was a unique and instructive; especially noteworthy is the reproduction of an old print representation. As death drew near, it is said his mind wandered, and he was again in America, and instructed him to escaped to the "Vulture," and which he had ever cherished, might be brought and sent to Washington, and which knots which Washington had given him as the bravest of the brave, the American uniform," he said, "the uniform in which I fought my battles.

Borsky and Robert E. etc. Large 12 mo. cloth decorative, profusely illustrated with full page plates in photogravure and net. Bosch, Ltd. & Company. The author says in her preface: "This book is intended to vote as much consideration as possible to the great treasures of the Vatican, to speak more briefly of many. In this way it is hoped that the book may be valuable something more than mere guide-book information of the great treasures of Rome, to speak more briefly of time or desire to consult the many original works necessary for a thorough work. It would be impossible to overestimate the mightiest mightiest works, the terrestrial and Prophets and Sibyls of the Sistine Chapel; and where Ralph painted his sublimest Stucco, and the exquisite arabesques of the Loggia.

At the Grand Opera House next week the famous emotional actress, Miss Eugenie Blair, will present two great plays, "Zaza" and "Magda." It is said that the greatest praise has been given Miss Blair throughout the country for her portrayal of "Zaza" and her characterization has indeed become a popular one. She will again present it at the Grand under the direction of Henri Gressitt, supported by an excellent company. For the first half of the week beginning Sunday "Zaza" will be presented. The scenery which was used last season has been replated by even more sumptuous stage settings and entirely new costumes will be used for the first time. "Zaza" is an impulsive person, given to extremes in all she does, but Miss Blair meets the part admirably, and carries an audience with her as she goes from point to point in the portrayal from the awkward boldness of the first act to the grand climax of the third. She is at all time in the partial figure of the plays, and it is partially from this fact that she has been successful in her interpretation for she is clever enough to hold any audience individually without the aid of other assistance. Wednesday matinee, and Wednesday, Thursday and Friday nights Miss Blair will present Sudermann's celebrated play "Magda," Miss Blair playing the title role. This play, it will be remembered, was made famous by Bernhard and Duse. ASSAULTED A CHILD John Rickey Commits Awful Crime at Rome, Ga. Special to Atlanta Constitution Speaker 10 Arduino Group, Rome, Ga. Oct. 1—John Rickey has been landed in jail here, charged with criminal assault on Eliza Turner, the 8-year-old child of respectable Afro-American people. The details of the crime are shocking in the extreme. After the crime was committed he is said to have beaten the girl into insensibility. When found several hours later she was just barely alive and may yet die. CLIFFORD A. SMITH. A Progressive Young Man Goes Into Business for Himself. Business for Himself. Mr. Clifford A. Smith was born, reared and educated in Chicago. He learned the tailor trade and came to St. Paul some years ago, and for the last four years held the position of cutter for the fashionable and popular tailors, Reid Brothers. Believing that he can use his knowledge to a better advantage by doing business for himself Clifford A. Smith. he nas opened a neat tailor shop in room 412 Bradley Building, on Fifth street between Wabasha and Cedar, where he is prepared to do anything in the line of his business. Gentlemen wishing stylish garments made to order will do well to give him an order for their fall and winter suits and overcats. Suit or overcoat finished in five days after order is placed. Quality, fit and finished guaranteed. Clothes repaired and renovated. SEEKING THE WRONG REMEDY. The gentlemen who write long editorials and indie learned articles for the magazines on the "nameless crime" and the remedy therefor, may be scholars and statesmen, but they are not practical by any means. Let any man lay down his own premises and he can produce almost unanswerable arguments. The trouble is the premises are incorrect. For instance, they hop on the better element of the colored race for not teaching these people better, for not pointing out to them, not only the wrong, but the danger of such things; some writers go so far as to say that the respectable element rather shows an inclination to protect, or at least to sympathize with, the rapist. This may be true in some cases, though we doubt it—at least doubt that any well educated or respectable Negro ever does this. But the point we make is this—the class of Negroes given to these outrages never go inside of a church; they never attend school; they never hear, much less read, of what is going on. In other words, they can not be reached. Last week at the meeting of the Rowan Baptist Association, composed of colored people, held in this place, some strong talks were made and papers read condemning this crime in unmeasured terms, yet how much good was done? Not a man of the class sought to be reached was in the house. It can be said that others could talk to them even if they do not attend a church or any school, but the trouble is in locating this class. They are isolated from the best elements of their race; in fact, the Negro gets it into his head that his brother who knows the head is "stuck up" and don't want to know him. This is natural, and in fact, white people get it the hardest in their heads, so that it is impossible to reach these classes. Sifted down, the cure lies in education—in school and in the church—any and everywhere, but the first thing is education, for if you can get a boy to attend school, he will learn these things, even if he cannot be taught to "read, write or either"; but the point ```markdown ``` The above clothing will be shown on separate tables is to reach him, to pen him up and enlighten him.—Greensboro (N.

The Legal and Legislative Bureau of the National Afro-American Council is out in a circular asking contributions to a fund to be used in bringing the case of Rev. H. T. Johnson, plain tiff, (Editor of the Christian Recorder) vs. the Pullman Company, before the supreme court of the United States. The case was recently tried in the federal court in New Jersey, and a jury awarded the plaintiff a verdict for the sum of $500, on May 18, 1903. The judge before whom the case was tried, entered an order setting aside the verdict and giving the Pullman company judgment. Mr. Johnson was refused breakfast on a dining car operated by the Pullman Company, on the Seaboard Air Line Railroad. There was urgent demand for money to press this case, and the judge may be sent to Jesse Lawson, Financial Secretary, Washington, D. C.; J. Madison Vance, Director, New Orleans, La.; F. L. McGhee, Vice Director, St. Paul, Mimn. Used in 1853. Way back in the year 1858 the Original Ozonized Ox Marrow was used by Afro-Americans in the North and is now all used over the country from Maine to Texas' and Oregon to Florida. The continued use of the preparation for such a long period of time is a positive proof that it gives perfect satisfaction to all. It makes kinky or curly hair straight, soft and beautiful. Stops falling hair, curses dandruff and makes the hair grow. Never fails. Warranted harmless. Only 50 cents a bottle. Get it from your dealer or send us 50 cents and we will ship you a bottle express paid. Address: Ozonized Ox Marrow Co., 76 Wabash ave., Chicago, Ill. --- Oxygen is Life's Necessity. Without Oxygen man dies, but when the blood is well fed with oxygen man lives in the full enjoyment of health. Life should be a constant physical revolution. Oxygen is a feeder of living tissues. Disease and sickness arise from lack of vitality, which is due to lack of oxygen in the blood. OXYDONOR animates and thus reverses this degeneration, opens the way for the whole organism to drink freely of oxygen, through the pores of the skin and membranes, and sets in operation an energizing, irresistible, vital force, which speedily overcomes disease. One OXYDONOR will serve the family. It cures while you rest, and its results are equally efficacious for the infant and grandisire. The following testimonial, one of many humiliating as to the efficiency of the Oxygenon: St. Paul, Minn., Jan. 28, 1903. Dr. C. S. Wilson. I take great pleasure in notifying you that I have given the Oxydonor a thorough test later, when my wife was sick with La Gripe, Bronchitis, and a touch of Pneumonia. It was a severe attack, accompanied by high fever, and I must confess that I had some doubts about the outcome. But to my surprise the Oxydonor worked well to help it in for 35 hours, but it conquered the disease. Applying the Oxydonor two more nights perfected the cure. Yours very gratefully.

In the morning he took his man to Mancelaona and lodged him in jail. It is alleged the assault was committed in May in the presence of the girl's brother, but that both children' were kept quiet by threats. EQUAL OPPORTUNITY LEAGUE. No Segregation of Afro-American Pupils in Public Schools. Bethel Church was crowded to overflowing last Sunday evening, the occasion being the first meeting of the Equal Opportunity league. This league has been called into existence because of a seeming desire on the part of a certain class of citizens to separate the Afro-American pupils in the public schools from the whites. While there is probably no imminent danger of such action being taken, a number of public spirited citizens deemed it necessary to call a meeting and, by registering a strong protest, forestall any move by the board directly. Such action would certainly be detrimental to the Afro-American children, and such a move by the board is hardly probable in a city where Afro-American teachers are employed to instruct white pupils. The Afro-Americans in the city are, however, evincing much interest in the matter, as evidenced by the meeting last Sunday, evening at Bethel church. The principal speakers of the evening were Hon. E. H. Morris, Major Franklin Dennison and Dr. C. E. Bentley. The gentlemen, being men of rejoice in the city may have, for Chicago many years, and close observers of public affairs, especially where the Afro-American is concerned, knew what they were talking about, and, without resort to abuse, reasoned out their cases in a logical manner. The baneful color prejudice, so characteristic of the South, was vigorously denounced, and fears expressed that it was gradually increasing at the North. Other meetings will be held from time to time, and each week may demand, All Afro-Americans are firmly resolved on one thing—that any effort to segregate Afro-American children will be fought to the bitter end.
