The Appeal

THE APPEAL KEEPS IN FRONT BECAUSE: 1-It aims to publish all the news possible. 2-It does so impartially, without words. 3- Its correspondents are reliable and energetic. BELIEVE IN "OBEAH" SUPERSTITTIOUS NATIVES OF THE WEST INDIES. Their Credibility Keeps Them In Subjection to the White Planters and to the More Crafty Members of Their Own Race. The French islands have two superstitions which are not to be found in some others of the West Indies. These are a belief in some sort of werewolf or vampire, which lives on the blood of wayfairers, upon whom it leaps when they are abroad in the night time, or of sleepers whom it finds in layovers. What is known in the British islands as the "rolling call" a monster with blazing eyes, which pals at night, clanking a chain suspended from its neck, and at whose touch men die. The following description is given of the typical ocheh map: "There is something so indescribably sinister about an obeah man's appearance that he can always be picked out by one who has much to do with his class. Dirty, ragged, unkempt, deformed, there is yet about him an air of cunning authority. His small, piercing eyes peer viciously at the witnesses arrayed against him in court for all the world like those of a cornered rat. Black men may be seen to turn as gray as ashes under the terror of that baleful gaze, and often it is only with difficulty that incriminating evidence can be dragged out of them. The wizard's awesome presence, however, does not appall an unentimental British judge. He orders him 'twelve months' hard' and a sound flogging. Frequently the obeah man appeals against his sentence to the court, but it is not at all unusual for him to get off on some technical point, owing to the deftical drafting of the law. Of course he tells the ignorant negroes that he procured freedom by his magical powers and thus their superstition is strengthened." British law punishes obeach with fogging and imprisonment. Nevertheless obeach is practiced by the white planters almost as a matter of necessity in order to frighten the negroes by the use of poison, precipitating the product of the plantations. You may walk through your friend's banana plantation and notice a skull stuck on a top of a stick, a small bottle full of dead cockroaches tied to a branch, or a miniature black coffin placed on a little mount. "Hello, old man!" you say, "working obeh—ah!" I'll come and see you fogged at the garden, and try to laugh it off shamefully, saying it must be easy to make "the wretched natives" keep their hands off the crops. That is true. It is needless, however, to go to the trouble of placing these things about your plantation. If some night prowler has stolen your bananas, all you need to do is to say next morning in the hearing of the natives: "It's all right, I don't care. I've got the footprint." You will see them whisper among themselves in an awestricken way and presently one of them will come up to you, nearly weeping with terror, and confess himself the theft. The superstition is that the robber has impressed his foot and throw it into the fire he will waste away and die unless he gives himself up and takes his punishment. DOG PLEADS BEFORE JUDGE Showed Conclusively That its Nature Was Not Vicious. An amusing trial has ended at Prague in which a dog played the leading part. The owner of the dog was sued by an engineer, who claimed damages for a bite from the animal. He also denounced the dog as vicious. At the trial a veterinary surgeon who was called in tried his utmost to irritate the dog by teasing him, but the animal kept his temper. The complainant then demanded that in order to test its real disposition, its owner should be turned out of court and the dog let loose among the audience. This was done after the dog had been muzzled. The dog, however, continued to display the greatest good humor, holding up one paw after another and wagging its tail. Finally it ran to the judge, before whom it sat on its hind legs begging in a most pathetic manner. The judge thereupon pronounced the dog to be a veritable lamb, and gave judgment for its owner—Philadelphia Press. Charity. CONCERNING CHARACTERISTICS OF CROWD CROWD BEFORE MANSION HOUSE TRINITY CHURCH NEW YORK It's a curious characteristic of the human race that whatever their personal habits, feelings and bearing may be they seem to change their entire mental character when banded together. The individual may be married and of good quality, bearing when alone; in a crowd he assumes an entirely different personality and becomes rough and over-bearing. This "crowd" change, so to speak, is as characteristic of Nations as of individuals. The people of a country who in their homes and private lives may be the enemy and good nature may become in a crowd the very reverse. The Latins, for instance, as individuals, are an easy going fun-loving, peaceable people, but when they are massed in numbers they often show the other side of their natures and become in moments of excitement a desperate, destroying mob. The world are more peaceably inclined than the Parisians, as individuals, but history cannot show more uncontrollable, devastating, murderous mobs than these same people when gathered together in periods of excitement. Americans, on the other hand, are a rushing, but when crowded together either in moments of danger or merely as a sight-seeking mass, they become, cool, collected, easily led and controlled, inclined to demand their rights good-naturedly, to be sure, but each careful of his neighbor and staid in his meenan. The Englishman, stolid, slow moving, with a total lack of enthusiasm, as an individual, becomes good natured, boisterous and tractable as a unit of a mass. The accompanying view of the Mansion House, London, at the Declaration of Peace, June 2, 1902, is the most remarkable photograph of a crowd in existence. For blocks in every room of the world are more peaceably inclined than the Parisians, as individuals, but history cannot show more uncontrollable, devastating, murderous mobs than these same people when gathered together in periods of excitement. "I've just learned a new charm to tell whether or not a man loves you," says the girl with the bulging pompadour. "What is it?" asks the girl with the new diamond ring. "Why, you take four or five apple seeds and name each of them for a particular seed. Place them—the first one that pops is the one that loves you." "Humph!" mused the girl with the new diamond ring, abstemindedly twisting that piece of jewelry about her finger, "I know a surer way than that." "You do?" "Yes, indeed. You take one particular man and place him on the sofa in the color, and sit close to him, with the light a little low, and look up to him very attentively, and if he doesn't pop you know it's time to put another man on the sofa." Judge. Modelling Wax. Modelling wax is made by mixing six parts of white wax, one of lard and one of chalk, and mixing them by show more uncontrollable, devastating, murderous mobs than these same people when gathered together in periods of excitement. Americans, on the other hand, are a rushing, brusque excitable race individually, yet when crowded together either in moments of danger or merely as a sight-seeing mass, they become, cool, collected, easily led and controlled, inclined to demand their rights good-natured, to be sure, but each careful of his neighbor and staid in his demeanor. He stolid, slow moving, usually with a total lack of enthusiasm, as an individual, becomes good natured, boisterous and tractable as a unit of a mass. The accompanying view of the Mansion House, London, at the Declaration of Peace, June 2, 1902, is the most remarkable photograph of a crowd in existence. For blocks in every direction, the streets are completely filled with jubilant people whose happiness and excitement can His Best Recommendation. George F. Baer, president of the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad, said he was surprised that hatred of John Mitchell, but recently he gave some indication that he has a grain of admiration for the president of the United Mine Workers. "What do you think of John Mitchell, anyway?" whimlessly asked an acquaintance of him. "I was a full man," said Mr. Baer promptly. "He's an Irishman that keeps his mouth shut." Old Elm Tree. There is an elm tree in the department of Ardeche, France, which is vigorous and flourishing, though it has attained the patrilarchal age of 793 years. According to official documents, it was planted on the grave of a nobleman in the reign of King Philip II, about 1202. Fox Hunt In Parliament A pet for escaped the other day from its captivity in Vienna and took refuge in the House of Parliament, where a regular hunt took place. Before the for war taken it succeeded in severely biting several attendants be clearly seen on hundreds of educated and good-natured faces. The typical heavy-jawed Englishman is everywhere in evidence, and aside from this characteristic the photograph might easily be mistaken for one of an excited and enthusiastic mass meeting at an American college after a Thanksgiving football victory over a prominent rival institution. The photograph of the River Ganges in India shows the extent to which religious superstition will affect the minds of the lower classes in the far East. On religious grounds, Brahmi strip themselves of every vestige of clothing and stand for hours, waist deep in the Ganges River, believing that their sins and ailments will be washed away. This custom, so far from bringing relief from sickness, spreads the numerous contagious and horrible diseases present in the river, and causes deaths by drowning occur during the season of high water. Pays to Advertise. Billy Jones wrote on the blackboard: "Billy Jones can hug the girls better than any boy in school." The teacher, seeing it, called him up. "William, did you write that?" "Yes, ma'm," said Billy. "Well, you can stay after school," said she. The children waited for Billy to come out, when they began to guy him. "Got licken, didn't ye?" "Nope," said Bill. "Get fed!" "Nope." "What did she do?" they asked. "Shant't tell," said Bill, "but it pays to advertise." Rural Free Delivery. Rural free delivery has advanced with marvelous rapidity from a service coating $20,000 a year at its inception in 1891 to one that will cost this fiscal year nearly $7,000,000.

So beautiful in Britain. The scene in front of Trinity church, New York, with the long line of stalled cars, and the mass of quiet sympathetic people gathered there in honor of a departed statesman, proves that even the rush and buster of low Broadway can be checked long enough to honor the dead. In front of one of the newspaper bulletin boards in Chicago, on the night of President McKinley's death several hundred people stood in the rain anxiously waiting and hoping for favorable news from the bedside of the president. As the bulletins grew more and more serious the people crowded closer together, and when finally the death of the President was announced, an old gentleman started the President's favorite hymn, "Near, My God, to Thee," and one by one almost the entire mass, with bare heads, kneeled in the wet street and joined in the melody.

Popular "Periodicals" of a South Car olina Speak Easy. Representative Alken was for eight een years an official court stenog rapher in South Carolina. "Some time after the Dispensary law went into effect out there," sai the member from the Palmetto state the other day. "I was reporting a case where the parties on trial were charged with maintaining a 'speak easy.' It was in the little town of Valhalla, where a large proponent the rebellion was. The Dispensary law of had, of course, closed the saloons and the Germans to get their beer regularly had organized so-called 'social and literary' clubs, which were no more or less than drinking joints. There were half a dozen or more such clubs in this little burg, and finally the prosecuting attorney got after them and had the managers arrested. The man on trial was endearingly to prove that his organization was civil and literary. To prove his case he placed an old German upon the stand. In the course of the cross-examination the prosecutor asked: "Mr. Hantzmann, what periodicals did you keep on file at the club rooms?" "The old fellow scratched his head for a moment and then, with every truthful manifest, replied, 'Oh, I 'pose ve he moot, mostly peer and corn viskey.'" Hydronobia a Real Disease Hydrophobia a Real Disease. Despite the fact that denials have been made by various physicians of the existence of hydronephrosis, one medical profession, at a meeting of the County Medical Society of the College of Physicians, declared that the disease has a "pathological entity," and should be so recognized. Dr. G. Morton Illman presented a paper entitled "A Report of a Case of Hydrophobia, with Autopsy." Dr. Illman described the symptoms of hydrophobia and maintained that hydrophobia exists as a separate disease, with peculiar symptoms, and he asserted that it is a grave error to call it excessive hysteria, as has frequently been done. Dr. M. P. Ravenel of the Veterinary department of the university said, in discussing the subject: "I have personally experimented on 150 cases of animals which I inoculated with germs of rabies and that the same symptoms, and these symptoms have been found in no other diseases."

Gordon a Stranger to Fear. Of Gen. Gordon, who died at Khartum, Lord Wolesley says: "A deeply religious man in whom danger apparently excited neither pleasure nor repugnance, he seemed only to distinguish between a safe position or an extremely perilous one as he would notice any slight change in the weather of a fine sunny day. He knew how infectious courage was and how much an exhibition of contempt for personal danger braced the nerves and steadied the heads of those less gifted with masculine daring and manhood. He was a mute man. During a war he made siege operations one sailor was overheard saying to another in the battery: 'I haven't seen old Gordon here lately.' 'No,' answered his shipmate, 'the fire ain't hot enough for that old beggar just now.'" "Clefmania." "Clefmania," says "T. A. T." is a comparatively modern form of the collecting craze.

Advancement in Civilization and Prosperity One of the Chief Reasons for the Decline in the Birth Rate Noted In Go Many Countries. Advancement in civilization and prosperity appear to affect the vital statistics of all nations alike. In modern times France has shown the most marked decrease in the ratio of births to deaths. From 1815, the last year of the Napoleonic wars, to 1839, the proportional excess of births over deaths for every 10,000 inhabitants was 61. Between 1831 and 1850 it dropped to 41. In the following twenty years there was a further decrease, the excess of births numbering only 25. In the decade ending 1900 the excess was reduced to 6, and in the latter year the proportionate excess of births over deaths in every 10,000 inhabitants of the republic was 25. In the decade ending 1900 with population of 26,000,000; she closed it with 38,000,000. But Great Britain had meantime started with 12,000,000 and ended with 41,000,000, and the population of Germany had grown from 15,000,000 to 56,000,000. During the last forty or fifty years the people of each of these nations have enjoyed more luxurious living than they did before. While the death rate in England, through the introduction of improved sanitation, has been steadily declining since 1861, the vital statistics of the country show a very marked decline in the birth rate. Now the minister of public instruction and medical affairs finds that the vital statistics of Prussia, which comprises three-fifths of the population of Germany, show a steady decrease in the birth rate there also. In 1861, it was 40.9, now it is only 36.5. In the city of Berlin the birth rate has fallen from 46 in 1861 to 26.6 this year. The latter is only 4.4 above the rate in France, which is the lowest in the world. The question of race suicide thus seems to be one that is disturbing all of the more prosperous of modern nations, as it did Rome during the Augustan age, when legislation had to be enacted in order to encourage the growth of population. France has been seriously discussing various methods of arresting the emperor the birth of the French parliamentary government has been appointed to seek means of increasing the number of births and diminishing mortality, and government bonuses for large families and heavy taxes on bachelors and childless couples have been suggested. It is expected that the German emperor will take cognizance of the conditions existing in his realm and suggest drastic means of addressing there the race suicides with President Roosevelt so vigorously attacked this country—San Francisco Chronicle. NOISE AS A CURE. Perhaps the Chinese Know More About Medicine Than We Do. The Chinese doctor sets up a terrible racket when called to treat the sick. it is supposed to drive evil spirits away, and it unquestionably acts well in a great many cases. Civilization demands rest and quiet; all noise is barred from the sick room. The Chinese have demonstrated, unknowingly, a great psychological or psychopathological fact. A patient of mine had received the last rites of the church, the pulse had ceased at the wrist and he had sunk into that coma which precedes death. Someone in the next house stirup the "Anvil Chorus" from "Il Trovatore." I was very much annoyed and distressed, and tried to stop it. Suddenly the pussition at the wrist began again, the patient gradually opened his eyes, promised to his sister. She he low, and he whispered "To dem, to dea, that is my favorite tune," says he. We roused him, fed him, and to-day, ten years after the event, he weighs 240 pounds. The therapeutics of vibration noise is yet to be written.

"Spinster," said the philologist, "is the term that the law applies to the woman who is unmarried. The origin of the word dates back to the days when spinning was not done by mackinery, but by hand. At that time every girl learned to spin, as a matter of course, the same as she now learns to spell. She was obliged to spin a couple of hours every day, and what she produced belonged to her. Thus, every girl, by the time she came to get married, owned a great quantity of linens, but her own purse that she carried a kind of dower, to her husband. Every girl's leisure, up almost to her wedding day, was devoted to the spinning of linen for use in the household of her spouse. Therefore, every unmarried girl was called a spinster."

The death of Col. William A. Pledger at Atlanta, Ga., last week, removes from the world one of the strongest men of the race. His career was in many respects a succession of successes merited and won in the main by his own indomitable spirit. Fearless almost to a fault, stood the rights of his people and for simple justice when to so stand and speak meant personal danger—and not for any hope of glory, but that good might come to the people whose interests he never failed to espouse and champion. He gave the best years of his life to the man and the fullness of his manhood to the cause of the masses. No sort of injustice whether in high places or low failed to call forth the unqualified censure of his tongue and pen. Thousands of men in times of danger and misfortune found in him a friend, a listener to their tales of woe and a listener to their stories of glory. Respectfully one man has had a [Picture of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. more decisive influence in Georgia politics and affairs generally in the last 30 years than Col. Pledger. Twenty-five years ago, he was elected chairman of the Republican State Committee of Georgia. In the same year he was chosen a delegate to the Republican National Convention and to every National Republican Convention held thereafter to the time of his death. About 15 years ago Mr. Pledger was admitted to the Georgia bar after a most searching and rigid examination. In the practice of law he conducted accused cases and achieved signal success. A broad promise of peace concerning two young people of Lisbon, Mei is on in the Androscoggin Supreme Judicial court. The plaintiff is a Afro-American girl. The defendant is Shirley T. McKenney, a Caucasian in the South. The law prohibits the intermarriage of the races, so that the Afro-American young women are at the mercy of Caucasian men, who select some of the most beautiful of the race and debauch them without fear of consequences. The Young Men's Christian Association of Washington, D. C., is背 As a campaign orator Col. Pledger was a power—he took part in every national political contest since the Grant campaign in 1868. His style was easy, yet forceful and convincing. Whenever he was asked to speak, he and endeavors to compel him to desist on account of apparent physical danger to himself ever deterred him. This was his unvarying rule in the South and won for him the admiration and following of his people. Notwithstanding his bravery and uncompromising Republican he had thousands of strong and tried friends among the Caucasian Democrats of the South. These men were impressed with his sterling honesty, business integrity and courage. In the conference his newspaper, The Times, asked him. He frequently had to speak out in plain and unmistakable condemnation of lynchings, disfranchisement and kindred injustices. This he did unflinchingly and in no uncertain tone. Even threats to molish his office, and do him already the same, and endeavors to compel him in his trials against wrong. William A. Pledger was one of the strong men of the race—one of the "Old Guard." His place will be hard to fill. Peace to his ashes! THE ALTON SCHOOL CASE The famous Alton School case has been decided against the Afro-American. The board of education several years ago built a special school for Afro-Americans. The children refused to send their children there and attempted to send them to the nearest public school. The superintendent of schools refused to permit this and a suit for mandates in Bibls' name against the officials. The suit has been to the appellate and supreme courts a number of times, and has been reversed and remanded upon various points each time. An appeal has been taken to the state supreme court. Money will be needed to make the fight and the Afro-Americans of Illinois ought to furnish it. The Appeal will give 410 to start the flow how much will you give, kind reader? Dr. Felix Adler, in a recent address before the Society of Ethical Culture, said that the race question is distinctly a national and not a sectional problem, in that it touched on the issue of race in democracy. The reason for the promulance of the question today, after a period of truce was to be found in the growth of the new south, which he likened to the rise of the third estate in Europe at the close of the middle ages. He said, now, that whenever a class rises upward it tries to thrust backward a class immediately below it, and this was what was going on in the new south. It is the middle class, a common one, that is thrust upward. Dr. Adler said, which is trying to throttle the Afro-American backward In his annual message Governor W. C. Beckham of Kentucky says that although the Afro-Americans of his state pay an insignificant portion of the taxes, they have been permitted to work with the white children of the state. This is a common statement of Southern men who attempt to befog the public intelligence. Any school boy knows that the poor—and the masses of the race are poor—pay more taxes than the poor white. The poor man's taxes are paid indirectly, but he pays them just the same. Representative Warner of Illinois has introduced a bill of 700 sections providing a judicial code for the United States. This bill embraces all laws concerning the jurisdiction and practice of the judicial acts and amendatory acts thereof providing for the removal, appeal and transfer of causes. New legislation is proposed, reducing the work of the Supreme Court, improving the military system, for better civil relations and procedure on error and appeal. --- A breach of promise suit concerning two young people of Lisbon, Me, is on in the Androscoggin Supreme Judicial court. The plaintiff is an Afro-American girl. The defendant is Shirley T. McKenney, a Caucasian. In the South the law prohibits the exchange of the race so that the Afro-American young women are at the mercy of Caucasian men, who select some of the most beautiful of the race and debauch them without fear of consequences. The Young Men's Christian Association of Washington, D. C., is beging money for a new building, and a number of Afro-Americans have been solicited to contribute, ye womuch to break into this Christian (?) place. It's a queer brand of Christianity which bars people because their skins are dark. It seems that cupid is lagging if one judges by conclusions drawn from the record made last year at St. Joseph, Mich., which should be taken as the matrimonial barometer of the nation. In 1902, 1,490 licenses were issued, while in 1908 only 1,194 were taken out, a decrease of 298. The case involving the legality of the suffrage clause of the new constitution of Virginia, which was to have been heard in the United States Circuit Court has been postponed. The fight will be kept up however, until the discriminating clause is declared unconstitutional. The black Republic of Haiti is making money or rather having money made in New York. The American Bank Note Company is now engraving one, one hundred denominations to the amount of $5,000,000. A gourde is worth about 96 cents in American money. Colors were badly mixed in Richmond, Va., recently. A dispute arose between Revs. White and Black over their denominational privileges, which delayed the funeral of John Brown. Coming the block matter was adjusted by Magistrate Green. As a result of the recent conferences between President Roosevelt, Governor Odell and Senator Platt, it can now be announced that Governor Odell will be in command of the Roosevelt campaign in New York State this year. A queer theft is reported from Chester. For where the theft of a Bible is reported. If the theft will read it he may in time repent of his sin and become a Christian. That would make good come out of evil. On the Isthmus of Panama the Negroes speak good English with a true unmistakably English accent. There must be the block man being treated with more justice than in the United States. Gov. Beckham of Kentucky says that life is safer in his state than in Chicago. The writer, who was born in Kentucky, prefers Chicago as a place of abode. Kentucky seems to be playing for notoriety. Not satisfied with the Breathitt county murders, the latest scheme to attract attention is a full fledged volcano. Americans consume more than 6,000,000 bushels of peanuts annually a code of over $14,000,000, so there should be no more talk about "peanut business." The work of disfranchisement goes on. The famous grandfather clause will be tried in Kentucky if State Senator Boole's bill goes through. Charles J. Buchanan of Millersville, Ind., has started a unique color line on his farm—he will raise none but white animals. In the contention for the rights of the race, suffrage should be given first place. That's the important thing. THE APPEAL stands for manhood suffrage, without any educational, property or other qualification. Race prejudice must go, and go it will when the American people conclude to accept true Christianity. The Aro-Americans will never willingly abolish any rights they now possess.

This book is highly important to the leader of this book is the broad title Mitchell has shown. Mr. Mitchell, although probably the greatest leader which organized labor has had in this country, has been the point of view of the patriotic citizen. His point of view is that of the general discussion of the weak points of labor organizations, and is especially eloquent in the discussion of the weak points of labor organizations. There are a number of chapters taking up the arguments against Trade Unionism as a condition of the workman. Mr. Mitchell takes up in detail the question of strikes that may be prevented, or at least minimized. There are half a dozen chapters dealing with the conditions of the strike from the inside. Mr. Mitchell states that at the beginning of the history of the strike from the inside, Mr. Mitchell states that at the beginning of the history of the strike and the story of how victory was snatched from defeat is told in graphic and eloquent manner by the author.

This time in view of the present propaganda of the Southern people, to debase the Confederacy, to enlist as a soldier, willing in the last desperate strait of the Confederacy, to enlist as a soldier, There are other, very interesting chapters involved and natural, and the author has Knowles Building.

PAUL. Established 1882: Is in the selection of herds and the care of the milk on the farm; then a critical inspection of the milk at our skimming stations, doubtful quality cream doesn't go into the "Star Brand" vat. The result of this extra care, at the beginning, is a pure and EXTRA fine flavored butter. Since we began making "Star Brand" in 1888, nearly every store in town has an "Extra Brand" of butter; the paper cap is all the extra there is to it. Grocerymen and butchers don't make butter—they have it shipped from some outside creamery and repack it into jars or prints—consequently comes to you second-handed. Buy our "Star Brand," and you have the freshest, purest and best butter possible. Packed in 2, 3 and 5 lb. jars right from the churn. MILTON DAIRY CO., COR. 9TH and WABASHA STS. PLEAD FOR "PLEASE." Hull House Women's Club Members Talk on "Courtesies." "Small Courtesies" was the topic of discussion by the members of the Hull House Women's Club, and some of the aphorisms offered during the symposium were: Thank you and if you please are always in fashion. Small courtesies are the product of the gentle heart. Politeness is the outward expression of a loving heart. The best place to teach politeness is in the home, for the parent represents the child's ideal of perfection. Politeness in little things is most important because it is usually most unexpected. One deception that is excusable at all times is that of looking and acting pleasant when you feel the opposite. Still Loves Ex-Husband.
