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. LINCOLN SPARED SON OF CONFEDERATE CHIEFTAIN. Great-Hearted President, Touched by the Heroism of Southern Officer, Deferred Execution—Wa's Ending Settled the Matter for All Time. President Lincoln's magnanimous disposition and kindly mature were never better exemplified than in a case during the Civil War in which two sons of the Confederate chieftain, Robert E. Lee, were involved, says the Washington Post. As narrated by one of the most hospitable and typical Virginians, himself a scion of a family noted for the brave deeds and heroic sacrifices, the story of Lincoln's defense of fraternal affection, chivalry and heroism of which Americans may justly be proud, no matter what state may claim their allegiance. "It was after the battle of Brandy station, in which Gen. W. H. F. Lee, called by his father and family 'Rooney Lee,' was not only badly wounded, but captured by the Federal forces. Upon being taken to the headquarters of the Union army his identity became known and there was consequently great rejoicing over such a capture. Subsequently a Federal officer who had been captured by the Confederates was shot under peculiar circumstances and the captors of Rooney Lee determined that he should be executed by way of retaliation. A day had been fixed when he was to be shot at sunrise. In some manner Gen. Washington Park Custis Lee, who once owned the Arlington station, which was subsequently made a national park, was the United States government, learned of his brother's peril. By means of a flag of truce, Custis Lee appeared at the headquarters of the Union commander, who cordially received him and inquired the nature of his visit. "To save my brother's life, if possible," was the reply, 'and return him to his wife and children. You must know, general,' continued Custis Lee, I am a bachelor, and not only that, but I outrank my brother, who is a brigadier-general, while I am a major-general. We have an important occurrence by which one of your officers forfeited his life, let the blow fall upon me. There will be no one to grieve and worry about me, for I am a single man and a soldier, able and willing to abide by the arbitrament of war. With my brother it is different, for he is a man of family, with a wife and four little ones awaiting him. In my visit, neither does our father—Gen. Robert E. Lee. Knowing both of them as I do, it is my conjecture that if my purpose had been communicated to either of them they would have endeavored to dissuade me from such an undertaking. Consequently I have come to your headquarters of my own volition, and without any advice whatever, either from my family or friends. Give me my body, and take mine as a means of retaliation for a reaggregate and unlooked-for act of war and its misery.' "Moved by this appeal the Union general pointed out to his visitor that what he asked was not in his power to grant. 'Lots were drawn for the execution,' he said, 'and fate willed it that your brother should draw the fatal number. A time has been fixed for the execution, the necessary orders have been given and it only remains to carry out the details. There is nobody to help you in your extremity unless President Lincoln at Washington sees fit to interfere." "This suggestion, coming from the source it did, aroused a gleam of hope within the bosom of Custis Lee, and he inquired of the Federal commander whether it would be possible to stay the execution of the death sentence until President Lincoln be informed of the circumstances. "Most assuredly," the reply, and, furthermore, he shall be informed of your heroic and brotherly offer of sacrifice immediately." "This officer kept faith to the letter," continued the narrator, "and sent a detailed account of his interview with Quistis Lee to the President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln. Within a few hours after the message was received at Washington there came a reply from President Lincoln to the Federal commander, saying, "I am Quistis Lee." The says. Defer the execution of his brother until you receive further orders, from me." "These orders never came," concluded the host, "for shortly afterward W. H. F. Lee was exchanged for a Federal officer of the rank of a brigadier-general and at once set out to rejoin his family. His devoted wife in the meanwhile learning the story of his capture and sentencing he received, training him in subsequent whereabouts had pined away and died. Scarlet fever had carried off his four children, so that it was to a darkened and desolate fireside that Rooney Lee returned out of the jaws of death. He knew nothing at this time of the offer made by his captain, and he did not until long after the Civil War had ended that he learned what the big-hearted Abraham Lincoln had done. "Is it any wonder" continued the narrator, "that men of the south revere the memory of Lincoln? It was the darkest day in our history when he fell by an assassin's act, and none deplored his untimely end more than brave Old Marge Robert' and his sons Custis and Rooney Lee, the last named after a congressman at Washington. A son of Rooney Lee, by a subsequent marriage, is now a member of the Virginia legislature, Photographs of Lincoln NEWLY-DISCOVERED PORTRAITS OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN An Early Full Length Portrait of Lincoln, from a rare engraving executed in Philadelphia A Lincoln little known to the people An idealized portrait of the Great Emancipator Lincoln in 1854: from an Early Photograph Unpublished likeness of Lincoln copied from an old ambiptype taken just before the famous debate between Doug Laser and Lincoln Unique portrait of Lincoln by an unknown Italian portrait painter When it is remembered that Abraham Lincoln was not what might be called a handsome or even good-looking man, in the popular acceptance of the term, and that he lived in a period when photography was in its infancy, it is surprising how many times he must have posed for the camera artist during the seventeen years of his active public life. He must have yielded with great good nature to photographers, every now and then a new "unknown" photograph of Lincoln is turning up in some old album or storeroom, and although the number is already large, it is hard to tell if they have yet all been found. While the photographer was busy recording on the sensitive plate the image of his distinguished subject, the engraver was not idle, and as a result there are over 200 different engraved portraits of Lincoln known to collectors. Many of these pictures are, however, hardly worthy of consideration, with some slight change in costume or pose, from celebrated originals. The wide field of Lincoln portraiture really offers an interesting opportunity for the careful study of his facial appearance at different periods of his active career. Particularly is this true since the recent discovery of several early portraits of Mr. Lincoln which fill a gap and satisfy curiosity. NEWY An Early Full Length Portrait Lincoln, from a rare engraving executed in Philadelphia Lincoln in 1854: from an Early Photog as to his appearance at the start of his career. Robert T. Lincoln owns what is probably the earliest portrait of his father. It is an old daguerreotype, taken about 1484, probably at Washington, when Lincoln was serving his only term in congress. This portrait is but slightly suggestive of the Lincoln of later life. The countenance, it has been remarked, is "rather that of a poet than that of a statesman," and not a few of those who have been permitted to examine it have been impressed with the striking resemblance it bears to the face of Emerson. One of the earliest photographs of Lincoln was owned by Geo. Schneider of Chicago, former editor of the Staats Zeitung, one of the most influential antique newspapers in the 1850s. He was born in Chicago and Mr. Isaac N. Arnold, a prominent politician and lawyer of Illinois, invited Mr. Schneider to dine with Lincoln. After dinner, as the gentlemen were going downward, they stopped at an itinerant photograph wagon and Mr. Lincoln had his picture taken. A curious contradiction, indeed, is the Lincoln of this photograph to the Lincoln in the popular mind. He was then about 45 years of age and had probably not lost what youthful vanity he once possessed. Instead of being rough and devoid of fashion, his costume is almost that of an exquisite, while his form, if stiff, is neither awkward nor ungainly. The pose is even peaceful. His face is just beginning to show a few lines, but his countenance is entirely devoid of the care- THE APPEAL. worn expression of later life, yet it is full of intelligence. In the collection of Lincoln portraits owned by Justice James T. Mitchell of the Supreme court of Pennsylvania is an old ambrotype of Lincoln. Herefore, it is believed, unpunctuated, as it was taken just before the famous debate between Douglas and Lincoln. Lincoln was 49 years of age when this old ambrotype was made. Only four years older than when the Chicago photograph just mentioned was taken, and yet the change in his appearance is most striking. One would say he had aged ten years at least. The lines on the face have multiplied and deepened, while the gentle expression of the poet has been amplified by the bending determination. The rising country lawyer has become a full-fledged man of the world. Another recently discovered and exceedingly rare portrait of Lincoln made at about the time of the Douglas debate was engraved by an unknown artist in Philadelphia. It is one of the few full length pictures of Lincoln that is not a carturetic, and is not a portrait of the man alone. The future president is standing with one arm resting on a table on which manuscript is exposed. It is presumed that he is pictured in the act of debating with Douglas. His costume, while not suggesting DISCOVER ABR A Lincoln little known to the people idealized portrait of the Great Emancipator the dandy, is at the same time in good taste and thoroughly in the mode of the period. Indeed, none of Lincoln's authentic pictures suggest the outlandish garbs in which he is pictured for some reason or other in the popular mind. Perhaps because so shown by the collection, he is in the collection of H. W. Fay of De Kalb, Ill, is probably the earliest portrait of Lincoln with a beard. It was taken early in 1861. His face was smooth until about the end of 1860, and when he first allowed his beard to grow it was the subject of much public comment. It seems a pity that he ever thus disfigured himself, as his beard, instead of improving his appearance, hid his facial features, the almost distressed expression which his face constantly wore when in repose in later life. Justice Mitchell has in his collection two other interesting portraits of Lincoln. One is an idealized bust, now but little known. It was executed by John Sartain, the noted engraver, during the presidency of the great liberator. The engraver, being a great admirer of Lincoln, took all the pains of the task and succeeded in handcuffing and handcountenance of the President in the most attractive manner possible. All the lines in his face are gone, as well as the hollow and careworn expression. His beard is carefully combed and hair neatly arranged. In brief, the engraver has done all in his power to beautify the subject, but the result, from the standpoint of a likeness, is unsatisfactory and principally interesting as a curiosity. The other picture is along the same D Interesting Opportunity to Study Facial Appearances of the Martyred President at Various Points of Life. lines. It shows the head and bust of Lincoln. It is the work of an unknown Italian artist and bears the inscription: "Abroamo Lincoln, Presidente Della Republica Dei Stati Unite D'America." As the only known likeness of Lincoln published in Italy, the picture is not without interest. LINGOLN AS A DICTATOR. Restrained Always by the Promptings of His Conscience. Lincoln is inaugurated President; the civil war ensues; and with it an extraordinary development of the executive power. It is an interesting fact that the ruler of a republic which sprang from a resistance to the English king and parliament should exercise more arbitrary power than any Englishman since Oliver Cromwell, and that many of his acts should be worthy of a Tudor. Lincoln was a good lawyer who reverenced the constitution and the Claws, and only through necessity, and through extended powers, trying at the same time to give to these actions the color of legality. Hence his theory of the war power of the constitution, which may be construed to permit everything necessary to carry on the war. Yet his dictatorship was different from Caesar's and different from the absolute authority of Napoleon. He acted under the restraints imposed by his own legal conscience ENTERED PORTTRAIL RAILWAY LINE le An of the or and patriotic soul, whose influence was revealed in his confidential letters and talks. We know furthermore that he often took counsel of his cabinet officers before deciding matters of moment. Certain it is that in arbitrary arrests Seward and Stanton were disposed to go farther than Lincoln. The spirit of arbitrary power was in the air, and unwise and unjust acts were done by subordinates which although Lincoln could not have to do himself, he deemed it not worthy to than to undo. The arrest of Valadigham. Again, Congress did not always do what Lincoln wished, and certain men of his own party in Congress were strong enough to influence his actions in various ways. But, after all, he was himself a strong man exercising comprehensive authority; and it is an example of the flexibility of the constitution that, while it surely did not authorize certain of Lincoln's acts, it did not expressly forbid them.—Scribner's Magazine. LINCOLN AND THE KITTENS. Great President Found Time to Min inter to Waife On one occasion when President Lincoln visited Gen. Grant, Gen. Porter, who was named a deputy to "three that kitties were crawling about the text. The mother had died, and the little wanderers were expressing their grief by mowing pituitously. Mr. Lincoln picked them up; took them on his up, stroked their soft fur and murrured; 'Poor little creatures, you be taken care of,' and turning to Bowers, sa:m. Defective Page "I hope you will see that these little motherless waifs are given plenty of milk and treated kindly." Bowers replied: "I will see, Mr. President, that they are taken in charge by the cook of our mess and are well cared for." He said that the president, Mr. Lincoln was found fondling these kittens. "It was a-curious sight at an army headquarters, upon the eve of a great military crisis in the nation's history, to see the hand which had signed the commissions of all the heroic men the cause of the Union, from the general-in-chief to the commander of the army, signed three stray kittens. It well illustrated his kindness, which was mingled with the grandeur of his nature."—Detroit Free Press. Lincoln's Faith in God Gen. "Dan" Sickles once told a story illustrating the tenderness of President Lincoln's heart, as well as his faith in Providence and his optimism. After Gen. Sickles had been wounded at Gettysburg, he was removed to this city, and the President called on him at the hospital. When the general described the battle and the awful slaughter, Mr. Lincoln wept like a child. "While the two armies were converging," said the President, "I went into my room and prayed as I had never prayed before. I told God that ITS OF LINCOLN Unpublished likeness of Lincoln copied from an old am- brotype taken just before the famous debate between Doug las and Lincoln Unique portrait of Lincoln by an unknown Italian portrait painter if we were to win the battle He must do it, for I had done all that I could. I went from my room with a great load lifted from my heart, and from that moment I never had a doubt as to the result. We shall hear good news from Gen. Grant, who has been pounding away at Vicksburg for so many months. "I am in a prophetic mood to day, Sickles, and I say that you will get well." "The doctors do not say so," the general replied. "I don't care, Sickles; you will get well," the President persisted. "And that afternoon Gen. Sickle went on to say, a telegram was received from Gen. Grant announcing the fall of Vicksburg. Sickle's recovery soon followed." Washington Star. Why the Lord Made So Many. In Lincoln's lips, the words that often came were these—"The common people." To those who lived with him, and talked with him, especially during the Civil War, it seemed as if he could never cease thinking of those who were just human beings, unlettered, unknown, inglorious. A Congressman from a Western district approached him during his term as President, and apologized for presenting a petition from his constituents, because they well said, "Well," said Lincoln, plausently, "God must love the common people. He's made so many of 'em'—Success. Give a swift horse to who tells the truth, so that as soon as he has told it he may ride and escape.

"The crowd was discussing hospitality as each had enjoyed it in different sections of the country. North, South, East and West had been canvassed when it came ex-Congressman James M. E. O'Grady's turn to contribute. "Well," said Mr. O'Grady, "I remember being up in New Brunswick on a fishing trip once, and for free-hearted people go up there. Everywhere you happen to be, you are asked to come in, sit down, and eat. It makes no difference whether the fare is good or poor, you are welcome, and no apologies will be made. "I remember one place we went where apprehension was felt. We had called to get a drink of water, and it was supper time we were gravely commanded to come in and sit down. Three or four children were cured to make room for us. I remember a delicious buckwheat cakes with maple syrup, and the way we made them disappear was simply outrageous. At last one little tow-headed youngster could stand it no longer. He had observed us from the kitchen window, where he stood beside a big dog.

The harmonizing of the personalities of even the best mated couples is usually a work of time. Before they can learn readily to make those little concessions which keep two natures in harmony there is generally more or less twanging of false chords, and if these false notes can be eliminated before marriage so much the better. Besides it is more difficult to sink one's pride before marriage than after, and the object lesson is, accordingly, the more valuable, says the Chicago Chronicle. Quarrels, it should be remembered, are illies which fail to the lot of most of us. They should be handled carefully and tended to. One treats a cutfinger. Necticed, a cut finger may lead to serious complications, endangering one's life. In the same way little quarrels may endanger one's life happiness. All lovera quarrel, but some make the foolish mistake of parting at once without allowing time for reflection. If two people become separated and can still think with affection of each other, after two or three years' absence they are fitted to marry. It is foolish and absurd to allow pride to love. Love renewed is better than first love, more sincere. It is love that is refined by years of reflection and is the golden output of a pure affection. Too Much Like a Real "Rip." TOO much like Paseo past June. Forty years have passed since Joseph Jefferson made a prologue and brilliantly successful film in Australia. He was indeed, in Melbourne, Sydney and the gold fields that he made his first great hit as Rip Van Winkle, which has ever since been the leading character in his repertory. He has never recrossed the equator, although handsome offers for another Australian tour have repeatedly been submitted to him. In reply to another of these invitations, Mr. Jefferson, who is now in his seventy-fifth year, wrote recently: "I was four years in Australia and the kind reception given me by its generous people and the dear friends I made in littlebourne and Sydney. I never ever had an idea of returning, but when I thought of the many friends who had joined the great majority and how like a real Rip Van Winkle I should feel on walking through the streets unknown and forgotten my heart failed me." A Dangerous Weed. While the improvement clubs are giving attention to the removal of unsightly weeds they should not forget the most noxious of all, the widows' weeds, which overrun and infest the whole city. If the Thousand Widows' Association could be induced to lay aside crepe and then chink up a bit, it would no doubt be a heavy blow to the undertakers, but it would act like a tonic to many people "because they are so weak." If you cannot help mourning, do it in the privacy of your own home, but give to the world smiles and bright tints. Assumed mourning — and crepe and bombazine is nothing else— is an offense to religion, sanitary science and common sense. Destroy the widows' weeds.—Ralph Elliot Field's "Wealth." Romance of Vienna. A romantic incident in connection with the intimately end of the young Count von Harbulv, who died the other day as the result of an accident, has just come to light in Vienna. Seeing that his end was near, he sent for Mile, Wanda Blanstein, a popular music hall artist, and married her, after first drawing up a will leaving her all his fortune. He was too near death to sign either the marriage record or the will, but the officiating priest and the lawyers present certify to the mark he was able to make while his hand was guded. The count died a few hours afterward. He had an income of $80,000 a year. His widowed mother and sisters will probably attack the validity of both the marriage and the will. "DIG!" WASTHEORDER AND THE SMALL NEWBOSY WAS MADE HAPPY. Chain of Circumstances That Led from One Girl's Charitable Impulse — Something of a Lesson on the Art of Cheerful Giving. A small newboy was standing on the curb swearing easily. He showed no great interest in the performance and seemed to do it because he felt the situation required it. A bundle of wet papers and his muddy hands and clothes showed that he had fallen a victim to the sudden change in the weather. He began sorting out the worst of his papers and laid them on the sidewalk. "Ten gone to the devil!" He looked up and made the aforesaid remark to a young woman who had been watching him critically. She showed no signs of being startled. "How much do you want for them?" she asked. He hesitated a minute and then offered to sell the lot for five cents. "If a good paper is worth a penny then a muddy one should be worth two cents, should it" 12" else argumentfully as she handed in her purse. "Yes—no, mam—I mean I don't know," was the astonished reply. As she handed the boy two dimes a man stopped. "What's the matter here?" he asked. "Don't you want to buy some papers?" The young woman put the question without any embarrassment. "Why, yes, give me one of each kit." The boy counted out five papers and handed them to the man, who asked, "How much?" "The lady here gave me two cents apiece for those spilled ones." "I suppose that would make a good one worth about five cents." Saying which the man handed over a quarter. As he turned away an acquaintance who had just come down the steps of an apartment house tapped him with his cane. And Andrews! What the devil are you doing here?" was the newcomer's query. Andrews turned slowly. "This boy has had some hard luck," he answered. "Buy some papers from him, with something besides for swearing in the presence of a lady." The newcomer transferred his glove to his left hand, already holding a cigar, a cane, and the other glove. He reached into his trousers pocket and pulled out a handful of change, looking at it helplessly. His friend reached over, picked out a silver dollar, and handed it to the boy. "Here, come back! I didn't want to go give him that," the owner expostulated. "He gave me 25 cents himself," explained the newsboy. "Oh, he did, eh?" The newcomer showed his first signs of animation. He put his cigar in his mouth, set his silk hat more firmly on his head, grasped his stick in his right hand, and took his friend by the collar with his left. "Dig!" he said. Andrews meekly reached into his pocket and handed the boy 75 cents. The two men lifted their hats and went down the avenue. The woman tumbled her head. The newsboy looked at the $2.20 in his hand.—New York Times. WOULD BUY THE TOWN. Offer Satisfied Critics of Man's Financial Responsibility. A contractor who was successful in getting a contract for a drainage scheme for a certain town was asked to meet the authorities, bringing with him his "cautioner," or guarantee man. He did so. The cautioner, who, was a very wealthy man, but never over well dressed, was unknown to any of the authorities. When the contractor appeared, the chairman asked if he had brought with him his cautioner. He answered: "There he is," pointing to his shabby-dressed friend. The chairman said: "Of course, Mr. Blank, we require a man of some standing and substantiality to guarantee the performance of this work," meaning thereby that the proposed man did not look this. On hearing this disparaging remark the millionaire at once stepped forward and said, "What's the price of your town, and will give you a check for it!" The Stars Are With the Voyager. The stars are with the voyager, Wherever he may sail: The sun will shine her time, The sun will never fail But follow, round the world, But follow, round the sea, So love is with the love's heart, Wherever he may be.

National Convention. The date for holding the next National Republican Convention, June 21, at Chicago, is the latest of any convention in the history of that party. It will be the thirteenth National Republican Convention, and will give the superstitious something to talk about. Other Republican conventions have been held as follows: Philadelphia, June 17, 1856—Nominees, John C. Fremont, of California, and William L. Dayton, of New Jersey. Chicago, May 16, 1860—Nominees, Abraham Lincoln, of Illinois, and Hannibal Hamlin, of Maine. Chicago, May 16, 1864—Nominees, Abraham Lincoln, of Illinois, and Andrew Johnson, of Tennessee. Chicago, May 20, 1868—Nominees, Ullysses S. Grant, of Illinois, and Schuyler Colfax, of Indiana. Philadelphia, June 5, 1878—Nominees, R. B. Hayes, of Illinois, and Henry Wilson, of Massachusetts. Cincinnati, June 14, 1876—Nominees, R. B. Hayes, of Ohio, and William A. Wheeler, of New York. Chicago, June 14, 1876—Nominees, James G. Gould, of Ohio, and Chester A. Arthur, of New York. Chicago, June 3 1. 884—Nominees, James L. Maine, and John G. Hipples, of Illinois Chicago, June 19, 1888—Nominees, Benjamin Harrison, of Indiana, and Lev P. Morton, of New York. Minneapolis, June 7, 1892—Nominees, Benjamin Harrison, of Indiana, and Whitehead Reid, of New York. St. Louis, June 16, 1896—Nominees, William McKinley, of Ohio, and Garrett A. Hobart, of New Jersey. Philadelphia, June 19, 1900—Nominees, William McKinley, of Ohio, and Garrett A. Hobart, of New Jersey. Since the Republican party won its first victory, it will be noticed that the first name on its ticket has always been from either Illinois, Indiana, or Ohio, with the single exception 1884, when the honor went to William McKinley, such a distinction, when Mr. Roosevelt is nominated next June. Mr. Frank P. Williams, of the world famous Williams & Walker Company, was subjected to a brutal and uncalled insult last Saturday. He, with a number of the members of his company, insulted him, and enroute home from their triumphs of many months in Europe, where they were the recipients of Royal favors. A musical entertainment had been arranged on board the ship, and the management was placed in the hands of a man named Asa Hatfield, and when he was requested to include Mr. Williams on the program he objected. The other passengers insisted, and finally the gentlemanly (?) manager said: "Well, I will not call on Mr. Williams, but I will call on the coon song." The concert broke up in confusion. The action of Hatfield was outrageous, and he did not raise himself in the esteem of his fellow travelers by any means. Mr. Williams is a recognized member of the theatrical profession, and has shown that he is a song writer and an actor. It is a shame that such things should happen. The supreme court of the state of Alabama has handed down a decision that a Caucasian woman has no lower rights in the estate of her husband if he is an Afro-American woman and against J. H. Locklayer. Mrs. Locklayer's suit was based on the assertion that she did not know the man was an Afro-American, even after she had lived with him eleven years. Intermarriage of the two men was not permitted, and as the marriage was null and void, the woman was not entitled to any of the proceeds of the estate. Berea College, one of the best educational institutions south of Mason and Dixon's line, located at Berea, Ky. has been wiped out of existence by a decade of violence. The insistence of Kentucky prohibiting the co-education of Afro-Americans and whites. This institution was founded many years ago by the philanthropists and has been of inestimable benefit. We cannot understand how the whites of Kentucky have been able to the unchristian actions they are continuously indulging in. Rev. Robert A. Elwood, who preached a sermon that is said to have instigated the burning of George White for the murder of Helen Bishop last summer in Delaware, has been tried and found guilty of unministerial conduct by the presbytery and cautioned to be more careful in the future. This is the verdict of men, but what is the verdict of God? Mound Bayou, Miss., a town absolutely owned and controlled by Afro-Americans, is to have a bank, the Bank of Mound Bayou, which will open for business February 10. The officers of the bank are: John W. Francis, president; B. C. Creswell, vice president; Charles Banks, cashier. Russell Sage, who is reputed to be worth more than $150,000 and is nearly 88 years old, says: "Wait I am not a person surprised." We do not doubt it, judging from the reputation he now has. Judge Tuley of Chicago in a recent divorce case says it is the duty of the husband to make the wife obey. The good judge must be careful or the woman suffragists will get him. Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania has introduced a bill appropriating $100,000 for the erection in Washington of a statue of Abraham Lincoln. What's the matter with Minister Powell at San Domingo? Aint he all right? He certainly seems to be equal to the emergency every time. THE ALTON SCHOOL CASE. The famous Alton School case has been decided against the Afro-American. The board of education several years ago decided to send the Afro-Americans. Scott Bibb and a number of others 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 against them in Bibbs' name against the officials. The suit has been to the appellate and supreme courts a number of times, and has been reversed and remanded to various points each time. An appeal will be 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 court will will $10 to start the fund. How much will you give, kind reader?

Amen—George Dawson. - There are 550,000 registered voters in Texas THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1904. With the old and familiar cry of Wolf! Wolf! or "Negro domination," the enemies of Senator Quay's state bill, which provides for the admission of Oklahoma and Indian territory, can state itself to defend it. With only 8,399 Afro-Americans to every 100,000 whites it is difficult to see how there could be such a thing as "Negro domination" in the new state unless the white men of that particular section of the country are African-American, and as the majority of white settlers are "Southern gentlemen," and who ever saw or heard tell of an ignorant one? The last report of the Census Bureau bueaul shows 746,717 Afro-American farmers in the United States, who operate 82,233,933 acres, valued at $49,889,000, raised for the year 1899 was nearly three hundred million dollars. Mississippi leads in the total number of farms, with Alabama, South Carolina and Georgia following in the order. Mississippi forges to the front, with Texas second, Georgia third and Alabama fourth. For value of products raised Mississippi again occupies first place, with more than twenty million acres, valued at $19,889,000, comes second, while Alabama, South Carolina and Texas follow as named. In speaking of our farmers the census report says: "Of all farms operated by Afro-American, cotton, tobacco and rice farms constituted 70.5; of the cotton farms, while the per cent, of such farms was only 18.7; 1.9 and 0.1, respectively of all farms. No other race had so large a portion of its farmers devoting their energies to the production of a single staple as in the case of the Afro-American with reference to the cotton crop." Regarding the income of the African-American farmers the report says: "The Afro-American farmer has a greater incentive to become an owner in the North, where he comes more in contact with farmers by whose example and experience he can profit in his struggle for a higher industrial position." The Afro-American population in Illinois in 1900 was 85,078, which represents an increase of 49 per cent in ten years. Of the 1,486 farms operated by our people throughout the state, 543 or 36.5 per cent. are owned; 183 are part of the state; 242 are rented for cash; 12 are owners and tenants and 5 are managed. These farms represent $3,107 acres, valued at $3,236,319. If the farms and partly owned were placed side by side they would make a tract of land one mile wide and have an average value of $2,233, and the total value of products raised for the year 1899 was $15,590, or about one-half the value of products raised by all the Afro-American farmers of the state combined. These figures appear insignificant when compared with the number of farms owned and operated by the white farmers of the state, yet it is a fair showing for a people who less than half a century ago were not supposed, according to the "Black Press" report, to be able to could furnish a bond of $2,000 to keep the peace. Taking up the question of the influence of environment on Afro-American farmers we find some very interesting statistics: In the old states, having one thousand or more Afro-Americans living in the lowest percentage of owners are found as follows: Georgia, with 11.5 per cent; Alabama, 11.8; Mississippi, 14.3; Louisiana, 14.5; South Carolina, 18.2; Arkansas, 12.2; North Carolina, 24.1; while the states showing the largest percentage of ownership are Florida, 50.8; Maryland, 49.4; Florida, 41.5; Kansas, 39.4; Missouri, 38.4; Kentucky, 37.7; Indiana, 36.6 and Illinois, 36.5 per cent. If the Democratic legislature of Maryland passes the "Jim Crow" car bill recently introduced, there will only be three ways for the patriotic Afro-American citizens of this great and diverse nation to reach the national capital without being subjected to the humiliation of being "Jim Crow." Come in a Pullman sleeper or in a freight train or else when you reach the Maryland or Virginia state line get off the train and walk a distance of several hundred miles. As matters of public interest, the tomb of the immortal George Washington, "The Father of our country," unless you ride in a "Jim Crow" car. Verily this is a great country—for the white man. Of the 19,240 homes of Afro-Americans, of Illinois, 4,479 or 23 per cent. are owned. The Inaugural address of the pew President of Liberia, Africa, Mr. Arthur Barclay, who was inaugurated January 4th, has brought forth considerable comment from those members of our race who insist that Africa is our home, and who dream by day and night of a better life. We are established by American Negroes. According to the press dispatches, President Barclay dwell on the advantages the Liberians derived from Europeans and WHITE Americans, but no mention seems to have been made of the fact that American whites we have been persuaded to believe are doing so much for the religious and material development of that country. But then, Mr. Barclay is not an American Negro. A most enjoyable evening was recently spent at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. John Cook, the occasion being in honor of Dr. and Mrs. Prather, who left this week for Montreal, Canada, Cards, music and dancing. Some of our political prophets, and Washington is full of them, although many do not hall from Illinois, see in the book *The People of Georgia* the overthrow of Register Judson Lyons of the same state, who is the only colored national committee. It is argued that Pledge was wrong, and that the Republican organization of that state. THE DOOR OF HOPE I cannot consent to take the position that the door of hope—the door of opportunity—is to be shut upon any man, no matter how worthy, purely upon the grounds of race or color. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT. and as chairman of the state central committee largely dictated affairs. That there is no Afro-American to take his place, that the chairmanship will fall in the hands of a white man, that he is "ally" and that Register your son's days as committee man are numbered. This may be him, but we hope not. However, of one thing we are sure: Mr. Lyons is a big man physically and intellectually, and there will be "something doing" in Georgia before the political referee counts him out of the game. Charles E. Hall. POLITICAL POINTERS FROM ALL PARTS OF OUR GREAT COUNTRY. The Politicians and Their Doings in the Country, State and City. Although the Campaign is a Long Way Off, the Pot Begins to Boll. A Lowden marching club for campaign purposes in Chicago is in process of formation. About 100 Republicans met recently at the office of John G. Wilson, 145 La Salle street, and organized the Lowden Marching Club, with the following officer: John G. Wilson, president; Major Charles W. Phara, F. G. Bishou and H. E. Johnson, vice-presidents; W. T. Adams, treasurer; James Young, secretary. Secretary Young requests that those wish to join the club should send their names to him at his office, 217, 145 La Salle street, and to form a well dilled marching club to assist in the Lowden campaign. Representative Greene of Massachusetts spoke to the President recently about the continued admiration the Massachusetts Republicans have for him and referred to resolutions of endorsement passed by the Central Republican Club of Fall River at few nights ago. Luman T. Hoy assumed the duties of United States appraiser for the port of Chicago Monday, succeeding Gen. H. H. Thomas. Mr. Hoy was the man who led the effort to secure votes in the election of Albert J. Hopkins to the United States Senate. *** Delegate Maguire of Oklahoma called on the President with C. M. Cade, chairman of the Republican organization of Oklahoma, Colonel H. E. von Enid, and others. They promised the President Oklahoma's entire vote. ★ ★ ★ The Republicans of Grundy county, Illinois, have adopted resolutions indorsing the administrations of President Roosevelt and Governor Yates, Len Small of Kankakee was indorsed for state treasurer and Israel Duggeon for congress. James P. Goodrich, chairman of the Indiana state Republican committee, and Harry Starr, chairman of the executive committee, both told the President that Indiana will send Roosevelt delegates to the National convention. Representative Repkins of New York is confident of Roosevelt's nomination and believes New York will give him her electoral vote. Harry C. New of Indiana will have a prominent part in the management of the Republican national campaign. He is an able political captain. Representative Littauer of New York says that New York will send a solid, harmonious Roosevelt delegation to the convention. Bourke Cochran has been nominated for Congress by the Democrats of the twelfth New York District. The committee on arrangements for the National Republican convention meets at Chicago February 5 and 6. It is said that the Yates and Warmer forces have combined down in Southern Illinois. The Texas delegation in the Republican National Convention will be solid for Roosevelt. Representative Bartholdt of Missouri says that Missouri is a Roosevelt state. It is likely that the Cook county convention will be held May 9 and 10. The candidacy of Judge George Brown will probably aid Col. Lowden. President Roosevelt's nomination is admitted.

The war of '61-5 will never cease—at least in the present generation, to be a threat to our civilization, to sorbring interest. This is so, because it was a war of giants; because many of the giants were still dead, their "hair breadth escapes, and the imminent deadly breach": its long and dreadful armament; because the mugues; because the finale of that conflict profoundly influenced the civilizations of the world; because its echoes still reverberate in the various activities American life. Because of these things the authors' work with profit by any one and many incidents of the great strife which has hitherto remained unwritten, is brought forth by One of the most interesting chapters in the history of the Confederacy toward the "Negro Soldier." The author tells us, that the Confederacy mander favored the enlistment of black soldiers; that the matter was finally deferred; that the Confederacy bill authorizing the enlistment of Negro soldiers, was defeated by but one vote—that the Confederacy desperate circumstances of the Confederacy became so visible that the leaders were forced to cause a draft order was issued to force the black soldier to fight under the Confederacy; that the Confederacy made effective, the fall of Richmond, and the flight of Jefferson Davis was at hand. 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.

Four days later. on Teaching Omaha, he was examined, fonnd to be suffering from smallpex, as the examiner believed, and was sent to the pest house. When he'd been there a week, another physician ‘became convinced that the smallpox ‘was chickenpox. Woodford was re- Jeased. He came on to St. Paul and went fo his home, 702 East Lawson Street. Neighbors reported: his case to the health inspectors, who report- ed, in turn, that the disease was really chickenpox.
