"I KNOW OF THE BRAVERY AND CHARACTER OF THE NEGRO SOLDIER. HE SAVED MY LIFE AT SANTIAGO, AND I HAVE HAD ADJACENT CASION TO SAY MANY SPEECHES. THE ROUGH RIDERS WERE IN A BAD POSITION WHEN THE NINTH AND TENTH CAVALRY CAME RUSHING UP THE HILL, CARRYING EVERYTHING BEFORE THEM. THE NEGRO SOLDIER HAS THE FACULTY OF COMING TO THE FROST WHEN IN THE CIVIL WAR HE CAME 400,000 STRONG, AND I BELIEVE HE SAVED THE UNION."—President Roosevelt. SATURDAY, MARCH 26, 1904 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. The date for holding the public convention, which fact 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, William L. Dayton, of New Jersey, Chicago, May 16, 1860—Nominees, Abraham Lincoln, of Illinois, and Hannibal Hamlin, of Maine, Baltimore, June 16, 1864—Nominees, Abraham Lincoln, of Illinois, and Andrew Johnson, of Tennessee, Chicago, May 20, 1868—Nominees, Ulyses S. Grant, of Illinois, and Schuyler Colafx, of Indiana, Baltimore, June 16, 1872—Nominees, Ulyses S. Grant, of Illinois, and Henry Wilson, of Massachusetts, Cincinnati, June 14, 1876—Nominees, R. B.

Since the Republican party won its first victory, it will be noticed that the nominees have been ways been from either Indiana, Indiana, or Ohio, with the single exception of 1834, when the honor went to Maine. The York is yet to be given a distinction. The Roosevelt is nominated next June. WISE'S SHARP WORDS. Capt John S. Wise, counsel for the Afro-Americans of Virginia, in their efforts to overthrow the alleged constitution of Virginia, does not mince words in his brief presented to the Supreme Court of the United States. He argues that the constitutional convention did not submit the constitution to the people, but simply proclaimed it. In the brief Mr. Wise says: "This is the case presented to the Supreme Court of the United States, who has been guaranteed to the United States, whose rights as citizens of Virginia have been guaranteed to them by the general government and stolen from them by a band of usurpers as shameless and defiant as any pirates that strode a quarter of the high seas with cuttles and boarding-pike." The Confederate veterans announce that they are "unalterably opposed to lynching except perhaps, for the one unmentionable crime." If the veterans stop murders by the mob, they would make no exception, but oppose lynching for any crime whatsoever. "JIM CROW" LA IN COURT. In May, 1902, Nelson Stainley Spencer of New York was in Washington to attend to some legal business before the Supreme Court of the United States. While in Washington he and wife were on a trip to New York. On his return from that place he was directed by the conductor in charge of the car in which he was riding to move to a more forward position, because he was in one of the cars of Afro-Americans. This he refused to do and when he arrived at Alexandria, Virginia, he was arrested and fined $5. Mr. Spencer entered suit for $10,000, and the case has just come to a conclusion of the tribet of Columbia. As this will be a test of the constitutionality of Virginia's "Jim Crow" car law the decision is awaited with interest. VIRGINIA LEGISLATURE AD- JOURNS. God be praised! The Virginia legislature has at last adjourned after disgracing the state by placing odious laws on the statute book. Thousands of dollars of the people's money, legislature, working under an alleged constitution, which has done very little except pass laws which take away or curtail rights of the black man. Virginia would have fared better if the governor had not convened. Its work was devilish. Thank God it has adjourned. The Japanese asked for subscriptions to a war loan of 100,000,000 yen. The loan was over-subscribed five times, the small subscriptions alone were not enough. The Japanese asked for. The Japanese people are a unit and they are succeeding in a war against a great power. Ten million Afro-Americans ought to raise a fund of $1,000,000 to be used in the race. This country money talks and a million would work wonders. The school commissioners of Montgomery county, Maryland, have closed the Afro-American schools because of an alleged decrease in the appropriations for these schools would close a number of energetic Afro-American sets about to organize a pay school and in a short time a school with sixty pupils was formed. The school commissioners of the Afro-American intend that their children shall be educated. --- A fool Afro-American writing in one of the Northern papers says that the Afro-American is wasting money fighting disfranchisement laws. No money was ever wasted in fighting racial discrimination. The usual trouble is that not enough money is spent in this direction, money is all-powerful in this country and if the race be roused to contribute to a big fund, to be used in defense of the race, much good could be accomplished. Rev. Joseph A. Vance of the Hyde Park Presbyterian Church has written a book called "American Problems." He, of course, starts with the race problem, and says that Afro-Americans who can read and write furnish more criminals than the illiterate members of the society, showing that about 70 percent of Afro-American criminals are wholly illiterate. There is to be a special Afro-American Day at the St. Louis World's Fair and August 1st has been selected as the date. Ex-Gov. P. B. S. Pinchback will preside at the mass meeting, at which his wife made an important Afro-Americans and an original poem read by Paul Lawrence Dunbar. One L. D. Russell writes to the Chicago Chronicle asking why the moneyed men of the North do not invest their money in Memphis, Tennessee, which is made by pro-public capitalists is limited and capitalists do not invest their money, where lawless prevails. Fred R. Moore, national organizer of the National Afro-American Business League, has just issued a form of constitution for local business leagues to be organized over the country. Mr. Moore is a hustler and is doing good work for the league. By a recent ruling of the Commissioner of Pensions all ex-soldiers at the age of 62 years or widows of such soldiers will be placed on the pension roll and will receive $6 per month; at sixty-five years, $8; and at seventy-five years, $12 per month. Russian Christian mobs are looting Jewish stores, outraging women and killing men in Kishinev; American Christian mobs are busy lynching Afro-Americans and burning the homes of innocent people. A Caucasian brute assaulted a six-year-old child at South Amboy, N. J. A mob was formed but he managed to escape. If he had been black the story would have been different. Democratic Governor Warfield of Maryland on St. Patrick's Day signed the "Jim Crow" car bill passed by the Democratic legislature. Democracy degrades. Of 104 lynchings last year but 21 warfed for criminal assault. THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER. WASHINGTON THE CITY OF MAGNIFICENT DISTANCES. A Collection of a Few of the Events Occurring Among, the Afro-Americans of the Capital of This Great and Glorious Nation for Our Many Readers. Washington, March 24.—The man from Tuskegee has been here. The atmosphere of doubt that surrounds the race generally, has been dispelled. The cloud of theory has been surcharged with facts and to find grounds for further disagreement with him when these lines would be extremely difficult. Mr. Washington is doing a great and good work for the uplift of the race, and there are none who can doubt his sincerity, although there are many methods to obtain certain results. But Mr. Washington has passed the theoretical stage in his life's work and is accomplishing more in his practical way and can bring more influences to be can create more sympathy, can obtain more financial assistance, can financial, in fact he can, whether in Tuskegee, New York or Washington, put more wires in operation for the benefit of the race in ten minutes than any even hundred of us who knew Tuskegee and who would solve the race problem on theory and at a distance, can place in operation in ten years, and the reason is that he is personally known and is the evidence of success in enter largely into the fairs that shape the policies of our national life. The reception given Dr. Washington by the citizens of the District, was nothing less than an ovation, and hundreds were turned away from the doors of the Metropolitan A. M. E. church where he lectured, because all the seats had been disposed of in an effort to save the Marine band, in full dress uniform. H. Lassiter was chairman of the meeting and the invocation was delivered by Bishop B. W. Arnett. Commissioner Henry B. Macfairland delivered an address of welcome. Congressman Richard W. Washington in a brief speech, in which he said the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments had been written in blood to stay. The benediction was delivered by Dr. Edward Hale. On the stage were a number of people who were the speaker. Among them were: Representative Wm. Alden Smith, of Michigan; Commissioner H. B. F. Macfarland, Commissioner H. L. West, Representative Foss, of Illinois; Assistant Professor of Education Department; Recorder of Deeds John C. Dancy, Messys, Fitch and Bundy, Mrs. West and Mrs. Francis, members of the board of education; Prof. W. B. Evans, of the Armstrong Manual Training School; Miss Mori, princk, assistant professor of theology, Arnett, of Ohio; Prof. Montgomery, assistant superintendent of schools; ex-Senator W. E. Chandler, Dr. Edward Everett Hale, ex-Representative George H. White, Rev. Dr. W. F. Seaton, admirer of Chicago, judge of otona, of otona, J. Cooper, Prof. Kelly Miller, Prof. Taylor, of Tuskegee; Emmett J. Scott, Rev. Mr. Cummings, of Alexandria, Dr. J. Dr. E. Cooper, T. Thomas Fortune of New York; E. W. Lampson, and Dr. J. Dr. E. Cooper, Mr. Washington spoke along the lines of race development He said he had the most profound belief that no race in ancient or modern history has ever equaled the American Negro in development in all history. He said, "that in the fullness of time we shall demonstrate to the world that we can become a potential and helpful part in the highest and best civilization. One of the most important sources of protection that any race of people can have is their usefulness to the community in which they dwell. Service is the secret of sovereignty. The man, black or white, who has learned to do something better than his fellows, who has learned to do a common man, in time will solve the uncommon manner, confront him, at least. * * * * Our children everywhere should be taught that all labor, whether with the head or hand, is honorable, and all forms of idleness disgraceful." Further on in his speech Mr. Washington said: "On the question of the ballot, I say here I have said many times in the South. As to my own position, I do not favor Afro-Americans giving up anything that is fundamental and which is guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States. It is not wrong to relinquish any rights. Every law placed there is not authorized of the United States was placed there to encourage and stimulate the highest citizenship. *If the Negro is not stimulated and encouraged by just national and state laws to become, the highest type of citizen, the result will be worse for the Southern white man than for the Afro-American. Unless the Americans are encouraged by just election laws, the white people and intelligent producers the white people will have an eternal millstone about their necks. * * * "Any subterfuge, any makehift in the form of a law that gives the ignorant white man a right to express his wants at the ballot-box and withholds the same privilege from the ignorant black man, to both race in. In most cases such laws give the Afro-American the incentive to become a voter by getting property and intelligence, but says to the white man, in so many words, remain in ignorance and poverty, and a way will be found for you to exercise the franchise." "Regarding lynching, I repeat also what I have said many times in the South, that the taking of human life without due process of law, whether in Georgia or Ohio, is a blot upon our civilization. Further, that we should at all times stand ready as a race to join hands with all people to see that the punishment imposed by our people, and to see that legal punishment follows such crime." He urged the necessity for progressive, positive, constructive work as the reliance for success, and declared that education was not injuring the Afro-American race. "The records of the Southern States," he said, "show the 90 per cent of the Afro-American population, and 61 per cent are wholly illiterate." Thus did Dr. Booker T. Washington deliver himself upon the subjects of Education. Disfranchisement and Lecturing. As a public man he has shown that he is sensitive to criticism and as an Afro-American he has shown clearly, by his recent utterances, that his heart is with his race. Dr. Washington has quetted. Dr. Boone Washington was ban quetted Thursday night by 160 gentlemen. After a reception of one-half hour the party retired to the banquet-room at 7:30 o'clock.住 at the guest table with Dr. Washington were the table with Dr. Washington to Washington in compliment to the guest of the evening: T.

Cummings and尔德曼, a professor just 160 subscribers, representing the best brains and character, as well as all lines of business, educational and religious activity among the people of the District, occupied other tables. O. R. H. Terrell presided as foostmaster. Others who spoke were: Justice E. M. Hewlett, Dr. L. B. Moore, dean of Teachers College, Howard University; Dr. W.

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. Scott Bibb and a number of others refused to send their children there and attempted to send them to the public school. The superintendent of schools refused to permit this and a suit for manda mus was brought 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 upon 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 Appeal will give $10 to start the find. How much will you give, And find. 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. It's all settled—Platt will be leader and Odell state chairman. The Republican State Convention of Connecticut will meet in New Haven May 10th and 11th. Two conventions have been held in the Fourth congressional districts of Ohio, but both indorsed Roosevelt. The Republican state convention of Rhode Island to elect national delegates will be held at Providence April 26. The Foraker-Dick brand of "harmony" made the congressional convention in the Twentieth Ohio district a rather lively affair. Gen. Joseph Warren Keifer, nominated for congress in the Seventh Ohio district, is all but certain of election. He served with distinction in the Civil War. The official call has been issued for the Senate to hold Republican convention of Utah to be hold April 8 in Salt Lake City, when delegates will be chosen for the national convention. The predicted war between Senator Dick and Senator Foraker will not come off. Both are expected to harmony and doubt they will get it. There are strong signs of a coalition between Foraker and Dick that will mean a stronger Republican organization than ever in Ohio. "Roosevelt, Revision and Reciprocity" was the slogan sounded in the Minnesota Republican convention. The senators as delegates at large were United States Senators Knute Nelson and Moses E. Clapp, Gov. S. R. Van Sant and Thomas Lowry of Minneapolis. Harry S. New now has a clear field in his race for Republican national committeeman from Indiana, Charles Henry having withdrawn from the contest. Mr. Henry will enter the race for the senatorship provided Senator Fairbanks accepts the nomination for the vice-presidency, which now seems probable. Among the Republicans of influence it is said that it is now practically settled that Senator Charles Warren Fairbanks of Indiana will be nominated for Vice President. The letter which he wrote last week to the Seventh Circuit Court of Indiana has been carefully examined and found not to be a declaration that he does not want the nomination, but merely that he does not seek it. If it seeks him he will not be found in hiding. Elmer Dover, the new secretary of the Republican National Committee, is only 30. At the age of 16 he was editor and manager of the local paper at McConnerville, Ohio, where he was born. He had quite an extended news career. He became acquainted with the late lamented Mr. Hanna in the first McKinley campaign of 1888. Mr. Dover's likeness to Mr. McKinley has been frequently remarked. His devotion to Senator Hanna was one of the many bright spots in Senator Hanna's career. A caucus of Republican senators and representatives was held at Washington and a new congressional committee was formed as follows: California, V. H. Metcalf, Colorado F. E. Brooks, Connecticut, G. L. Liley; Idaho, L. B. French; J. A. T. Hull; Kansas, J. H. Bowersock; Kentucky, M. E. Sullivan; Maryland, S. E. Mudd; Massachusetts, W. C. Lovering; Michigan, J. W. Fordney; Minnesota, J. A. Toney; Missouri, Richard Barthold; Montana, J. L. Dixon; Nebraska, John J. McCarthy; New Hampshire, C. A. Sulloway; New Jersey, H. C. Loudenslager; New York, J. S. Sherman; North Dakota, B. F. Spalding; Ohio, J. M. Sulloway; Mitchell, Pennsylvania, William Connell; Rhode Island, Adin B. C. Capron; South Dakota, Charles H. Burke; Tennessee, H. R. Gibson; Utah, Joseph Howell; Virginia, Campbell Slemp; Washington, W. E. Humphrey; West Virginia, B. D. Bovener; Texas, W. F. Wendell; Hawaii, John Kalanianaloe; New Mexico, B. S. Rodey; Oklahoma, Bird S. McCulre; Porto Rico, Federico Degetau THE APPEAL stands for manhood suffrage with any educational or property qualification whatever. The restrictions on the suffrage in the South are for the purpose of depriving the Afro-American of his vote. Soldiers' Addresses Wanted. Henry N. Copp, attorney-at-law, Washington, D.C., wants the addresses of below named Afro-American men to be served in the Civil War; if dead, their heirs. Information will be paid for. John W.

William Robinson, a young man 21 years old, pleaded guilty last Friday before Judge Jaggard to an indictment charging him with grand larceny in the second degree, and was sentenced to the state reformatory at St. Cloud. The court was merciful in its disposition of Robinson because he had been guilty against the defendant. Robinson was a neat appearing fellow, and spoke with grammatical correctness. He told the court that he had attended high school and formerly lived in Louisville, Ky. He came north a year ago and has been in St. Paul since October. He attorney, it was said that he had been a waiter and bell boy at the Merchants, and lost his place when the management hired Japanese bell boys. Counsel had discovered that the defendant was in the habit of making small remittances to his mother, in Louisville, and believed that it was in order to keep up these remittances that he had been guilty. Judge Jaggard gave the defendant a kindly, brief lecture, advising him, among other things, that a second offense would bring a severer punishment. POLITICAL POINTERS.

A Rising Young Specialist in Ocular Rehabilitation The subject of this sketch is a well known successful young man of Minneapolis, Minn., who has dem- scribed his possession of marked abl- ility in his line of practice. Born and early schooling in Chicago. [1] Graduated at Evanston, III., with honors, 1892, where he was also an all around athlete. Came to Minneapolis in fall of 1892. Passed civil service examination for government position with a rank of third in a class of 63 persons. Grew up in years and resigned to continue an unfinished medical course, which he started in 1894. Through the influence of some of his friends here, particularly Dr. L. J. Cook, and the recommendation from Evanston, and he together with his partial medical training, he was given the contract against two strong competitors, for the season of 1903 as head trainer of the football team of the University of Minnesota. Dr. Nelson demonstrated his ability of doing this position by finishing the season perfectly satisfactorily to the management and his supporters. Dr. Frederick C. Nelson. The record of the Minnesota team for the season that Dr. Nelson was with them is: Not any games best during the entire season and a tie game with the University of Michigan, which for several years was the champion and strongest team in the West. When the Minnesota team played the University of Illinois at Champaign, IL, the team was made at the Chicago Beach Hotel and some of Dr. Nelson's Evanson friends gave him a warm and hearty greeting. Among the party who called, besides two newspaper men, were Prof. Henry L. Boltwood, Mr. Boaz of the Chicago Railroad and Prof. Homer H. Kingsley. Now, after having had a broken siege of medical study for several years, Mr. Nelson graduates as a doctor of Otology and Ophthalmology, and today those who are in position to know concede Dr. Nelson to be one among the best Masseurs of Minnesota. To persons of both cities he has given over 600 treatments under the direction of Dr. L. J. Cooke, who is Professor of Gymnastics at the State University. Dr. Nelson gives great thanks to the Cooke Institute of Physical Culture. At present he does not state where or when he will locate for practice.

In these days lovers of that class of entertainers demand something out of the beaten path for their deletion and this is exactly what Sulliva, Harris & Woods have to offer in "Wedded and Parted," which will be presented at the Grand Opera House. The development of this certain until its final fall there is always, in the vernacular of the day, "something doing." Sensation follows sensation with remarkable rapidity and yet Mr. Theo, Kremer, the author of the book, describes the development of startling and original plot, has preserved sequence and coherence, the result being an intensely interesting and logical melodrama. A large and exquisite production of these actresses have been engaged for this production and the scenery and effects will be a great feature. The interior of the famous woman's prison at Auburn is one of the most remarkable and most interesting productions. The engagement will be for one week with the usual Wednesday and Saturday matinees. NOT EVEN SKIN DEER Fair Woman's Complexion a Matter of Purchase. She was a dream of color—black and white, as to her costume, roses and cream in face and cheek. Every woman who entered the car looked her over with eyes that gelled with admiration for her frock, hat, shoes and gloves. Every man paid that tribute to Venus which shows the goddess still reigns, whatever else has befallen the other pagan deities. While the women's attention was centered on her costume the men's eyes all rested on her face, calmly beautiful in its outlines, surpassingly lovely in its delicate pink and whiteness. Presently she stood up to leave her child, did a little object fall from the front of her waist. Three men bumped their heads in their eagerness to reach it. The lucky one who picked up it held up in such a way that all who sat might read. It was a box of rouge! STUDENTS HAVE GREAT DAY. Curious Mock Execution Recently Witnessed at Gottingen. The old town of Gottingen recently witnessed a scene seldom paralleled, even in the annals of the roystering students of that famous seat of learning. Two students had been ordered into a certain number of days' arrests, and the whole Corpus Academic entered joyously into the "execution." The "condemned" were conducted to prison by a great masquerading procession, led by the car of the headman, who stood among his "assistants" leaning upon a huge car, the ear of the condemned, with the two culprits "heavily chained," and dragged by bullets. A third car contained the "bedding of the culprits." Last came a long line of landaus full of students, enjoying with very great gusto the "henker smahrzett," or "last meal of the condemned." It was a great day at Gottingen. Three Ways of Dressing Hair. Some of the New Hebrides people do their hair up in a bun on the top of the head and stain it yellow, while the inhabitants of Ombai island pass it all through a tube so as to make a kind of plume. The Marquesas chef's favorite method is to shave all the head except two patches, one over each temple, where he cultivates two horns of hair. No doubt this is to render him more a thing of terror to his enemies than of admiration to his friends. His reason for shaving the rest of the head is to allow more space for tattooing, as if all the available skin of the body does not enough. Wanted.

Miss Ada Wood of Natchez is in the city. Frank Gillespie has gone to Memphis. At close range people are mostly just folks. The result does not always measure the effort. Happiness is simply a stray chunk of heaven. If you wish everybody to see it, put it in THE APPEAL. The best preparation for death is the perfecting of life. He who has an eye to the fleece has no heart for the flock. To own defeat shows the weakness whence it has sprung. A girl with a dimple will laugh at any fool thing a man says. Dr. W. M. Chandler of New York is visiting friends in Chicago. Men who rush the growler are seldom in a hurry themselves. He who never commends has not earned the right to criticise. Laugh and the world laughs with you; weep and it laughs at you. For a good meal, well served, go to R. S. Winston's new place, 3140 State street.

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.

Honor the American Hen. Permit us to indulge in a few cheers for the American hen. As a student of the census figures has shown, the poultry and eggs produced and consumed, in the United States last year were worth more than all the silver and gold mined in the world during the year. The egg and poultry product exceeds in value the wheat crop of twenty-eight of the most productive states of the union. Let us honor the hen. She is an important member of American industrial society. Society of the Dillettanti An interesting old organization which formerly existed in London—the Dillettanti society—originated with certain gentlemen who, having traveled in Italy, tried to encourage at home what they had enjoyed abroad. This society of lovers of the fine arts lasted 130 years.

He would terrorize the neighbors in a most outrageous way, broke the wide world's standing records in athletics every day; while in pugilistic circles he could wipe men in the dust, and show master tricks at fencing—laugh at every cut and thrunt. He slew tigers in the jungle, and calped redskins on the plain. He chased lions across the mountains and harpooned upon the main. He could break a bucking broncho, yes, and rope a Texan steer; sling a bowie knife or hatchet, throw the boomerang or spear. In hairbreadth escapes he gloried, did this worthy son of Mars. The wife of a Chestnut street merchant, who lives in West Philadelphia, is very fond of roses, especially of the brilliant varieties. By way of reminder, she said to the husband the other morning, before he started for business: "I see, my dear, that Jacks are becoming cheaper." "That may be true," said the husband, absently; "but I have known men who would have been willing to pay $100 for one o put with the two already in their sand." is a Bottle Beer that's new to you but four months old to us.
