Kept Peace With Indians Mocha Coffee Is Scarce All Have Their Mascots Get Wise Sayings Mixed VOL. 20. NO. 16 Kept Peace John Mitchell, ex-sergeant of the army, scout and Indian fighter of the early days of Custer, Wade and Miles, takes care of the guns in the armory over at the University of California. To the chosen few whom he delights to honor he recounts stories of the plains which should find their way into a book some day. The other day he grew reminiscent. "It was in 67," said he, "when I was still an enlisted man and was with my regiment out in Wyoming, where the Sloux were keeping everybody on the jump. There were fifteen of us, under a sergeant by the name Brannigan and we had been away from the post on a little scouting expedition and were returning when this incident happened. "We have been taking hard all day without anything to eat, for we were only fifteen, you know, and in that case a man don't stop to take anything like a course dinner on the plains. Well, we came up to a little station called Cedar Creek just as night came on, thinking to spend the night there. We found about 150 Rappahoe bucks camping there, too." Mocha Coffee "I don't believe there is a pound of genuine Mocha coffee on this continent," C. T. Hillgill, a coffee merchant, informs me, "or that 2000 people in this country have everasted it, unless they have at some time visited Arabia and drunk it at the table of some sheik or governor. "The true Mocha is the finest coffee that makes it as superior to the very best of other brands as silk is superior to cotton, but the crop is extremely limited, and hardly ever more than satisfies purely local demands." Some Arabian coffee may find its way to this country; it may even be called Mocha, but it is not the real article, I am sure, and none of us has ever had it here, though we do get the best of other brands that are grown in Ceylon and Java, and that means some mighty fine coffee is not Mocha, however, for it is not Mocha coffee. Our coffee year is one of the most important ones of one ward in St. Louis alone for a period of six months. The best and plumpest berries of the Mocha growth, those with the most exquisite flavor, All Have The Among men and women who have won name and fame in professional life quite a number are to be found who believe in the supernatural! power of some curious talisman which they possess. Sarasate, the famous Spanish violinist, for instance, would not dream of playing at a concert unless he carried somewhere about his person a tiny replica in silver of the famous Guarrierius violin on which Pazanini used to play. Paderewski, the famous pianist, also possesses a mascot which is always with him in the shape of a ring once worn by his first wife. Most people are doubtless aware of the sad story of Paderewski's first marriage, how his wife died in giving birth to a son just as the pianist was on the threshold of success, and how the world would probably never have heard of him had not the necessity of providing for his son compelled the musician to continue his professional career. Paderewski does not wear the ring on his finger. It rests in a tiny pocket inside his waistcoat and is attached to a fine gold chain which encircles the pianist's neck. Get Wise S Just as the popular so-called quotations from the Bible and Shakespeare are commonly misquoted, so it will be found the wise sayings of statesmen have not always been preserved in their original integrity. For example, there is Washington's apothegm that "To be prepared for war is one of the most effectual measures of preserving peace." This has been condensed into the familiar "in time of peace prepare for war." Then Jefferson's axiom, "by design, by reason, by negation none is almost invariably applied to the office-holding contingent in the office of the assertion 'Few die, and none resign.'" Two Western newspapers have as their motto "Error ceases to be dangerous when truth is free to be condemned." This is a mutilation of President Jefferson's celebrated saying in his inaugural address that "Error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it."

For the present winter course the total number of immatriculated students at the German universities is 37,864, of whom 3,093 are foreigners, the largest number ever recorded. "Well, sir, you should have seen that sergeant's face when he saw those Rappahoes. No sooner had he unsaddled when about twenty of those bucks walked over to us. They were awfully arrogant and carried rifles. Said they to Brannigan, 'Grub.' That was all. "And, do you know, that Brannigan stood there and ordered us to give them an antelope we had, all our coffee, sow belly and crackers. We didn't have a thing left, but they took the life and gave him his plug of tobacco. Still, those bucks just kind of hung around, restless and uneasy—there were 150 of them, you remember. "We boys grumbled some and had to get along without anything to eat. Then when it got dark we began to make ready to turn in for the night. Brannigan had been getting more and more nervous as night drew on and when he saw us getting out the saddle blankets that fixed him. "Boys," he said, 'we won't turn in to night. We will just sit up and tell stories.'"—San Francisco Call. are eagerly taken by the governors and shekins in the vicinity and they have to get (their orders in in advance, so that they may be sage of their annual supply. The second-grade berries go to the weather citizens, not of the governing class, and the third, on poorest, grade of berries, which are not much superior to the best Java coffee, are sold to the people, and the demand invariably exceeds the sumly tenfold. "Sometimes a few pounds of this cheapest grade of Mocha finds its way to Constantinople, but it is very very sadd, and I don't believe an ounce of it has ever got any further west than that. I presume that if by some hook or crook a pound of the real, plump-berryed Mocha were landed in this country it would sell for a price that even a Rockefeller might hesitate to pay. We get the best coffee grown apart from the Mocha, but the local conditions which prevail where that coffee is raised prevent us from obtaining any and I hardly think the real thing will ever be found in our markets." - St. Louis Globe-Democrat. heir Mascots From the musical profession to the race course is rather a far cry, but it may not be out of place to mention here the curious luck-bringer carried by Sam Loates, the famous jockey. It consists of an ordinary smoked pearl button, without which he never rides a race. This pearl button saved the life of Mr. Loates when he was a child by catching in the upholstery of a bow properly dressed, and thus prevented him tailing on to the line. Since then the jockey has come to believe that the button has an influence for good over all his fortunes. Quite a number of our leading actresses firmly believe that their success in a piece depends to a certain extent on peculiar mascots which they invariably carry. Miss Violet Vanbrugh always wears a long chain of uncut turquoises on the stage, while Mrs. Langtry never feels comfortable unless she carries a turquoise on which she maintains an isometric fitted up this peculiar mascot who diving in the Lido at Venice—London Tit-Bits. ayings Mixed and a snare" is a compression of Lord Denman's expression "A delusion, a mockery and a snare."

Then there is Chief Justice Chase's eloquent characterization of "An indestructible Union composed of indestructible states."

It come out now that it is the western movement in a crusade started by the Rev. Roland D. Sawyer of Massa chusets, who is distributing "don't swear" cards to the utmost corners of the earth, in the hope that he will raise the morals of mankind by abolishing swearing. I, the undersigned .... do hereby resolve to use no more profane language of any kind. May the Lord help me to keep my resolve. Signed..... Mr. Sawyer was born in Kensington, N. H., and inherited the lot of the average New England country boy. He worked, went to the common schools of the town, and later to the high school at Exeter, walking to and from school each day—eight miles. He left school to work on the farm, and in the shoe shop he did his share, and was probably no worse than his town-mates. In the summer of 1894 there came to town a young preacher, and the boy was converted to religion. When he cast about in his mind to see what the onus of sin was which had suddenly been removed he could find nothing but profanity. "I had been with older boys," says Mr. Sawyer, "and they got me to swearing." Of course, it was simply village smartness." But the conversion was genuine. He entered the so-called "lay college," at Revere Bass, Mass., to study for the ministry. He graduated with his class in 1889 and was at once called to be associate pastor of the South Congregationalist Church in Brockton. One of Mr. Sawyer's best marked characteristics is personal initiative. He went home to Kensington and found an old church of use. He persuaded the trustees to allow him to hold meetings there. It may have been remembrance of his own sin, but the first thing he did was to formulate a simple pledge not to use profanity, and he got several GROWING CASSAV Plant Furnishes Starch for Laundries and Sizing for Cotton Mills. Both the New York Botanical Garden and the Department of Agriculture are developing special attention at present to the cultivation of cassava, the newest agricultural venture. Cassava is a plant native to Brazil, which is cultivated for its glutinous products. There are more than a dozen varieties raised in Brazil, differing in coloration and time of maturity. From the root of cassava nearly all THE BAMBOO TREE THE TROPICAL WEST A FIELD OF CASSAVA UNDER OLIMNIA AT MAYAGUEZ, FREDERICIO forms of tapioca are made, and it is the principal starch of bread substitute of tropical countries. There are two genera of cassava, the bittern and the sweet. Cassava is a bushy shrub, growing from four to ten feet high, the branches forking repeatedly. The leaves divide into three to eleven divisions from slender petioles, six to twelve inches long. The seeds are about as large as the castor bean and grow in globular pods. The roots grow in clusters from an end of the seed canes planted. The clusters of roots range from five to thirty pounds in weight. The sweet, or non-poisonous, variety is the only one cultivated in the southern states, the bitter forms maturing too late in this country. There are now four sweet varieties cultivated in the Gulf states, as against forty kinds in Brazil. The plant was cultivated in THE REV. ROLAND D.

The young preacher received a call to Hanson and accepted it, because it was a small church and would give him the time to carry on his crusade and also study at Boston University two years. Mr. Sawyer resolved to imitate the methods used by Northfield evangelists. They had discovered that the man man bible of the conventional tract, and had printed the briefest appeals on colored cards. Mr. Sawyer got out similar cards. He handed them to men who swore on the street. He got out stickers, and when he read a newspaper on a train put on his stickler as he finished and passed the paper to the engine driver or fireman as he passed in the station. He put cards into papers for the hospital. Friends were interested and helped pass them out, and bought them at the rate of $4 a thousand. The cards were neither offensive nor priglig. They laid stress on the uselessness of profanity and on the discourtesy to persons who heard and whose feelings might be wounded. "I have known of but two instances," said Mr. Sawyer later, "our recipient cards of cards have shown anything like resentment. Usually they apologize for having sworn, or else slink out of sight in short order." The movement was no sooner under way than there was a demand for Florida prior to the war on a small scale, and added its quota to the commissary of the Confederates in the field. It was not until 1898 that cassava starch became an article of trade. The freeze-ups of 1894-95 destroyed so many Florida orange groves that the distracted planters turned to cassava as a prop for their substituted industry of raising live stock. Cassava soon spreads like a prairie fire, making stock growing profitable on the one side and the commercial profits of cassava profitable on the other. Cassava in light, rich, sandy loam, usually underlain with hard pan, FLAP SHOWING REGION WHERE CLIMATIC COORDINATES SHAREY SQUARE AREA SINGLE HYDROCARP SHAPED AREA DIVISCATES PROBABLE LINE and the best yields are secured in soils too dry for corn and other crops. The hard pan is useful in compelling the roots to spread so they can be readily hauled out. The plant is not a soil exhauster and is easily fertilized. Cassava root, cut in slices, is now the stock food for southern cattle. It gives a rich flavor to milk, without affecting the flavor of it or the butter. It increases the amount of butter per gallon of milk. It causes a more com- more striking literature. Then began an amazing activity for Dr. Sawyer. His little study in Hanson is heaped with various forms of tracts, cards, pledges and stickers. Yet they are only samples; there are hundreds of THE REV. ROLAND D. SANYER forms of printed matter. The most striking are the large cards. "They were to stick up in places where profanity is heard," said Dr. Sawyer. "Groceries, where men and boys sit around in the evenings to talk; shops and factories, towns where we have been able to get ordinances passed against swearing and school yards, where little boys swear. They have been found useful in the first place." It was in March, 1902, that the first anti-profanity league was formed in Hanson, with the founder as secretary. The organization was made just close enough to hang together and just loose enough to assure a peaceful existence. There was instant call for leagues in neighboring towns, and the work has grown in two years until there are now twelve thousand members who have signed pledges in forty states, two territories, Canada, Scotland, England, Ireland, Switzerland and South Africa and an auxiliary society in London. President Roosevelt has given approval to the work. The Rev. John L. Withrow is president of the league. The Oldest Inscriptions.

Tax Skill of Hunter Haunting the depths of the woodlands in the vicinity of the springs in the higher mountains, there are many of the famous family of Virginia deer, the white tail—the most hunted, the most plentiful, and yet seldom brought into camp. Lucky the sportsman who has been able to bring down three of these fine deer in all his hunting experience. Go into the nearby mountains, and in the canon bottoms, you will see countless tracks of his majesty the Virginia deer, the "white tail" of eastern states, and called just deer in southern California. But to see these tracks does not by any means assure the hunter a shot at one of these magnificent white tails the largest of the true deer of North America, but he also has a reputation as the best hider of all game animals. By nature fond of thick cover, he usually spends most of the time in the depths of some well-wooded canon—a bushy river bottom full of briers and undergrowth is an ideal spot to look for him, and an ideal spot to miss a running shot as well. And that is about all the chance you will get at the white tail, too, unless you can stalk him, and an ideal spot to the way. One of these deer will lie securely hidden until the hunter, watching the middle distance instead of his feet, almost falls over him. Then he will be up with a "who-ou" Nestled in Nestled in Live Wires While astonished postoffice officials stood around ejaculating, "Well, well, well," in the switch box of the busy telephone exchange in the Brooklyn postoffice a litter of lively mice was discovered last evening. All around the little fellows were busy wires, there being altogether twenty-three connections in the hair qualifier in the tail of a marked mark on the tail of one of the triplets, they did not seem to have suffered any inconvenience, and they objected in a ting-a-ling, "phone-like queak when persuaded to vacate. Meantime the fair operator had retreated to the stair, and women customers at the stamp windows gathered up their skirts and fled to the street. Watchmen and shoeblacks became heroes, and by deadly blows saved the women from further injury. How the switch box is a mystery, for there is neither hole nor crack in it. it is always kept locked. The nest had been arranged with unusual care, the outside being composed of pieces of coarse paper, while the inside consisted of bits of the softest and filmstest papers in the post-office building. Capt. Charles H. Martin, of the 14th United States Infantry, relates the following: "On the return march from Pekin and while approaching Hohlsow the column of the 14th United States infantry one evening was overtaken by a Russian officer of high rank in his three-horse buckboard, driven by his orderly. At the time the rear battalion of the regiment, temporarily commanded by myself, was entering a delfile, bordered on each side by low, swamp ground, the road just being wide enough to commode the column. I immediately heard the column to Watch out, cap. I watched Watch out! but before I could even turn my head I found my horse on his knees, with the Russian's horses on top of us. After extricating ourselves, I found that the Russian, seeing the narrow road before him and not proposing to be delayed by our column, had deliberately plunged into us, regardless of consequences. "The temporary check which he had received by my being in the way seemed to infuriate the officer and with violent gesticulations he ordered his orderly to drive on. Two enlisted men nearest us held his horses' heads. She Change She Changed Her Mind She had been suffering for several days with a slight abscess, and when she decided to have it lanced her young husband accompanied her to the physician's. "You are very brave, dearest," he said to her, as they waited for the doctor in the reception room. "Oh," said she, smiling sweetly, "you see, I'm going to take chloroform or gas or something." "No! Oh, not!" he remonstrated. "You mustn't——" "Why, Jack, it won't cost so much more——" "Darling, how unkind! But, you know, sometimes patients die under chloroform." "So that. Ah, doctor, my husband is trying to scare me with tales about patients who die under chloroform. Now, you don't think——" "Faise! There's no danger when the doctor understands his patient's condition!" exclaimed the physician. --- $2.40 PER YEAK. and a tearing of underbrush and by the time you get your gun to your face the deer will be somewhere over in the next county. They do not range high on the mountain, and most hunters will tell you that the best deer hunting is after the first heavy snow in the fall, when the deer come down into the higher foothills to get the new grasses brought out by the rains that usually accompany these early snows. With the black tail, the least common deer of this section, everything is different. Look for him in the open meadows of the mountains, where the pines wall in little valleys all clothed in tall grasses. There the smaller and darker deer moves on velvet hoofs noiselessly, and, seeing you, vanishes silently or with a low snort, seeking rather to escape by stealth than by speed. On the level and in the open the black tail is a swift enough runner to try the aim of any rifleman, but in the piney woods he can be almost as silent as a mountain lion. The best way to hunt this deer is to take him at his own game, stalk him. Armor, shock tail is for stalking; shock tail is an all-day hunt and walking, the hunter slips from tree to tree through the deer country, watching every clump of brush, seeing every leaf that moves, prepared at all times to swing the rifle on a shadowy, half-seem form slipping away through the dim recesses of the woods. Live Wires Had not the mother mouse become too cauious the triplets might have thrived until big enough to earn their own living. With consternation the "hello girl" saw a large mouse near the telephone booth, apparently trying to get in unobserved. Undaunted, three times the mouse tried to get into the booth. The busy operator's eye each time deterred it. But finally Mrs. Mouse put the operator to flight. A score of men coming to the rescue, wise Mrs. Mouse skipped upstairs. "That old mouse has been around here for a month," said an employee, "knew her by her chopped-off tail." Then a search was begun. The last place tried was the switch box, and it was opened more as a joke. Operators began to collect, having had trouble recently with their instruments, and one fair maid saw light in the holes in her lunch. It was left, however, to disperse the victorious army. "I always had my suspicions of that box. I was just telling 'Bill' the other night that the darned thing was haunted. It must have been the old mouse communicating with the kids." —New York Herald. For Russian This was too much. Taking the lines from his now helpless, bewildered driver, he forced his horses forward, but before he had completely gotten them away from the men holding them I had ordered four more men to assemble in the room where he was until the rear of the column had passed. In spite of such a show of force he persisted in violently urging his horses, forward and was only stopped by being knocked to the ground by the butt of a gun and having the horses unhitched from the conveyance. As he rose from the door, he drew down his volley when instantly several rifles were drawn on him. "This seemed to bring him to a realizing sense of his impotency, and, putting up his revolver, he ran forward with tears in his eyes and called in French to the captain of the company then passing: 'I am an officer—an officer! Look at my frightful condition and the humiliation which has been heaped upon me! Can you give me justice?' He received this consoling answer: 'That's all right, old man; there's only room on this road for one of us and we got here first.'" d Her Mind And a few moments later: "Will you kindly take hold of this sponge? By the way, just before you came in I was administering the drug up a man, and he was honestly quite amusing. He rattled on about his early love affairs—gave himself away in great shame." "Ob," cried the young woman in evid- dent distress. Then, collecting her- self: "Will it hurt dreadfully, doo- tor?" "The lancing? No; with the dru- you won't be any the wiser." "I think I can manage without any drug, do you know?" "You might hurt, dearest," put in the anxious husband. "And doctor says there's no danger in your case. You'd better take it." "No, I think not," said she, throw- ing the sponge away and sitting bolt upright. "I'm going to show you me how a weak little woman can bear pain." AVE YOU READ THE APPEAL? ADAMS BROS.

It requests the Bureau in view of the recent ruling of the Pullman Car Co. which virtually excludes Afro-Americans from their sleeping cars in the South and bordering states, desires to make a strong effort to get a favorable decision only way the Bureau can get funds is for the people to send in such sums as they feel able to subscribe to this cause, in which every Afro-American in this country is vitally interested.

Bell, a real Caucasian, is thief—he has stolen a million and there the honor lies. Mrs. Ashmead, a Caucasian of purer ancestry, has for years conducted a baby farm in Philadelphia and has killed PNDDS of innocent babies yet not into the furnace. She is a friend, the spawn of the Satan, yet a "pure" Caucasian. A scoundrel in London who could trace his ancestry back for hundreds of years, has recently committed suicide when he was detected in trying to get rid of the body of his seventh wife, whom he had murdered. Both words who own man at the stake in this country are generally pure Caucasians, or pose as such. Many pure Caucasians are all right, but some are all wrong. The simple fact that one is a pure Caucasian does not make him all right any more than the fact that one who is not a pure Caucasian is all wrong. THE ALTON SCHOOL CASE. The famous Alton School case has been decided against the Afro-American. The board of education several years ago decided against the Afro-American. 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 him and a suit for mandation by him in Bibb's 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.

Wrigley, Jr., a chewing gum manufacturer, complains to the interstate commerce commission that Southern railroads discriminate against him in freight rates. That's nothing strange, every day the railroads of South Carolina first-class fares from Afro-American passengers and compel them to ride in second-class cars—that's a damnable outrage. For seven centuries the Irish have struggled for home rule in Ireland and it is not yet consummated. The Afro-Americans must never give up the contention for their rights as citizens. Kick the cringing man of the race who says give up suffrage. Rev. H. E. O'Grady of Alabama says "The highest type of American manhood is to be found in the South.

Philadelphia, Pa., April 12—Needs have caused appendicitis, and colds have caused it, but it is seldom that the pathological origin can be traced to an inch of the nail, as in William Bibb. Bibb was a pulman perforator, 53 years old. He died in the University hospital after an interesting medical record. Cirrhosis of the liver was supposed to be the cause of death, but Bibb had been operated upon more than a year ago for an abscess of the abdomen, which could not be located at that time. Dr. James Tyson had the body opened, and he had the nail class, and as soon as the appendix was exposed the nail was discovered skewered clean through the intestine. It is supposed that Bibb swallowed the nail more than a year ago, although he did not report it to the doctor. It was found in the laboratory of the Medical hall as a curio.

A Collection of a Few of the Events Occurring Among the Afro-Americans of the Capital of This Great and Gloorious Nation for Our Many Readers. Washington, April 14.—The Washington Post recently contained an interesting review, by A. Kaufman, of the work of S. Coleridge-Taylor, the noted Anglo-African composer. The review is a tribute to England's greatest contemporary musician, whose work of Longfellow, poem "Himawtha" is a work available. The writer also speaks of music in its relation to the race problem in this country, and says, "It is a generally recognized fact that the negro race is peculiarly gifted for song and instrumental music of a primitive order. This is because the great majority of all races, deprived of the higher opportunities, Given them, it is really marvelous to what a height of artistic excellence this people, but a generation removed from slavery, and not more than three or four from absolute savagery, can scar. In the contemplation of such a people, and that the success of the race problem, in this country were not so very distant, after all. In nothing does a primitive race evidence its capacity for advancement more discernibly than in its musical manifestations. The Chinese to this day revel in the twangiest sort of hispanic tinguity to the civilized races of Europe, has not yet divorced himself entirely from his barbary jingle. If the thoughtful, philosophic and ever broadening German races have surpassed all others in their constant reach for higher development, in the musical art serve, in part at least, as an index of capacity, in their social as in their soul life? This, then, as applied to the Afro-American music, may serve equally as an index to great possibilities, and as taken as the sign for the ultimate redemption the African race readily enough to the cultivation of the best in music, when properly directed." The marriage of Miss Ida Alexander Gibbs, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. W. Gibbs, to Mr. William H. Hunt, took place Tuesday evening at the home of the bride's parents on N. St. N. W., in the presence of a large company of relatives and friends. M. W.

Wright of Savanah, Ga., called on his friends a few days last week. According to statistics at the Bureau of Immigration, the Italians are rapidly displacing the Afro-Americans on their plantations. They are also on their plantations. It is said that in these places, where a decade ago there were thousands of Afro-Americans, the works is being done to day by Italians. This is especially true of the sugar plantations. The General Conference of the A. M. E. church, which convenes in Chicago early in May, will be eclipsed only by the National Republican convention. Slates are being made by all factions, and many of them will be involved in the struggle will come results that will doubtless be of material benefit to the church. Dr. E.W. Lampton, the financial secretary of the convention, will have a special car chartered for the District and Baltimore delegation. Dr. Lampton will be the chairman and if allowed to continue at the head of the financial department, will make the business end of the church just what it should be, a "clearing house" for the entire convention.

Boston, Mass., April 11.—At a conference of Afro-American Baptist ministers from throughout New England, held in Plymouth, Mass., resolutions protesting against disfranchisement were adopted.

POLITICAL POINTERS FROM ALL PARTS OF OUR GREAT COUNTRY. The Politiclane and Their Doings in the Country, State and City. Although the Campaign is a Leng Way Off, the Pot Begins to Boil. The Wisconsin State Republican convention meets May 18. Senator Spooner will probably be chairman of the National Republican convention. Gov. Van Sant of Minnesota, would not object to being the vice presidential nominee. Indiana delegation will not present Fairbanks' name for vice presidential nomination, but if rest of country insists senator will not refuse. Republicans of the thirty-first Congressional district of New York, at Geneva, chose as national delegates Representative Sereno E. Payne and State Senator John Raines. Out of 400 delegates so far elected to the Republican National convention, 232 are instructed for President Roosevelt, and the other 108 are supposed to be friendly to the president. Andrew Carnegie will probably be the largest individual subscriber to the Roosevelt campaign fund. He is ready to give $50,000 or even $1,000,000 if that much is needed to re-elect the present occupant of the White House. Pennsylvania is for Roosevelt. - Read the resolutions: In Theodore Roosevelt, soldier and statesman, author and scholar, equal and impartial executive, we have a president of whom we are justly proud, and whose wise and beneficent administration we heartily indorse and desire to have continued. We therefore unanimously agree that the presidency by the approaching national convention and instruct our delegates accordingly. Es-Senator Mason of Illinois, was seated with a party of friends in a Washington cafe one evening, when the circle was joined by the son of a big western capitalist, whose main aim in life seemed to be a continuous jubilee. He was of that class in elegantly dressed attire, and it was evident that his presence was distasteful to the senator. "My old man does not put up a cent for me," said the young man, displaying a fat roll of green backs. "I'm on my own re teer?" sources. "How do you manage it?" asked one of the party. "You must have same sort of a 'snap.' "This is my 'snap,' said the gay spendthrift, impressively touching his head. "And there's not a softer 'snap' in the world." assented Senator Mason. Honor the American Hem. Permit us to indulge in a few cheers for the American hen. As a of the censor hen. As shown, the poultry 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 cerain 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. Walpole wrote that he had been locked in a room with a very favorable eye, for he says: "The nominal qualification was to have been to Italy, the real one was being drunk." Dugald in Edinburgh. Dugald McVailh, when on a visit to Edinburgh, was taken by a fellow-Highlander to see the sights of the city. The visitor was thirsty and determined to give Donald, his guide, a hint to his condition. Consequently on passing a bonded warehouse, he said: "Donald, that had pe in that parcel?" "What wud pe in them by him?" "What guide, guide." "Then," said Dugald, "I wish I was a parcel."—Scottish American. Nonsense About Sneezing. "When a man sneezes heartily," he may know himself to be healthy. No person in poor health even sneezes," says the eminent doctor Sir Jonathan Hutchinson. This statement will be challenged by those familiar with the plague, who know that hearty sneezing is its first symptom. Every one who sneezes in the first stages of catching cold, and that the hay fever victim sneezes to his great discomfort. --- A An unacademic Christian Institution, devoted especially to advanced education.

THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER. SOME OF THE WORKERS FOR THE REPUBLICAN CITY TICKET. "HIS LAST DOLLAR." At the Grand Opera House. At the Grand next week will be presented the new American play by David Higgins and Baldwin G. Cooke, entitled "His Last Dollar." This attraction is under the management of Messrs. Stair & Nicolai, and, is as complete as a due attention to every requirement can make it. The story of the play, as its title would indicate, relates to the money side of life's affairs, and tells the incidents incurred by a rich young Westerman, who has come to New York to clean up, with the new team to clean, Mr. Higgins, who has appeared with success in other plays from his pen, will create the character of Joe Braxton. SOME OF THE WORKERS FOR s, including some of the members of the e Harry Howard, H. L. McIntyre, F. F. Stevens Berber, W. L. Ames, F. G. Warner, C. J. I the Westerner, and Miss Grace Atwell will be seen as Eleanor Downs, the Kentucky girl, who has brought her horse Ease to race in the Great Furry with the hope of thereby retrieving the fallen fortunes of her invalid father. The play shows the inner side of the racing subject. It deals with that deep love and veneration for the Kentucky thoroughbred that has resulted in the wonderful development of the race horse. The paddock scene is the only one on the course, and the actual race is not shown. The pool room scene in New York, where private gambling on the races is depicted, is only a presentation of that occurred by the author. The third part of the play, and a faithful reproduction of an Old New York down-town residence, turned into a secluded corner pear Wall Street, to the which bulls and bears, berks, brokers and magnates would slip away from the turmoil of the street to place a private bet or two. The story is strong in incident, and is told in five concise acts, well contrasted in theme and treatment. A large and strong cast is used to give the play a competent production. Republican Candidate for Assembly man. Mr. Ross Clarke, who is one of the Republican candidates for the assembly, is a well known attorney of St. Paul. He has always taken an interest in public affairs and in local politics; he is a speaker of much ability and for many years has been on the staff of Republican campaign speakers. He is a member of the Chamber of Commerce, of the Commercial Club and other public organizations. He is a firm and consistent believer in the brotherhood of man and backs up his sentiments with his deeds. Mr. Clark, who has help ed many others to get office, has only M. B. Ross Clarke. once before been a candidate for office, when he was a candidate before the primaries for the office of clerk of courts of Ramsey county. There can be no doubt about his ability to fill the office to which he aspires with general satisfaction. Vote for him. Republican Candidate for Justice of the Peace. Judge Henry L. Mills, candidate for justice of the peace, was elected to the office two years ago by a very common vote. He vowed for him made no mistake, as he has filled the office in a highly satisfactory manner. He is an old soldier P. B. of the Civil War, and before and since the war has held several positions of honor and trust. He came to the state in 1855. He held the office of Justice of the Peace for four years before his last election and gave general satisfaction to the litigants. Justice of the Court in the city. He is elected in the city. Be sure to put an X opposite his name on your ballot May 3d. He is all right. POLITICAL POINTERS A Resume of the Doings of the Politicians and the People. REGISTER, OR YOU CAN'T VOTE!

Republican Candidate for City Comptroller. Andrew R. Kiefer, at the earnest solicitation of the Republican clubs, became a candidate for comptroller, and won in a walk at the primaries. Andrew R. Kiefer. As he has been a member of Congress, clerk of courts, mayor, etc., everybody knows Col. Kiefer, and almost everybody will vote for him, as "He's all right!" The Republican rally at Mozart Hall last night was a rouser. Now, wasn't it? Remember that in order to vote you must first register. Don't wait. Go and register NEXT TUESDAY. The next registration day will be Tuesday, April 19th. The registration boards will meet in the polling places in the precincts from 6 o'clock in the morning until 9 o'clock at night and an opportunity will be given every voter to place his name on the list of qualified voters. If you have a little home, you know something about how high the taxes are. If you wish to have them lowered, vote for a change in the administration. Economical administration of public affairs is the watchword of the Republican candidates for city offices. Vote for Republicans. The next registration days are Tuesday, April 19th, and Saturday, April 23d. All persons who desire to vote at the city election must register on one of these days. Some people are under the impression that if they have not changed their places of residence the registration in the fall of 1902 will be sufficient, but that is not the case. Rev. W. H. W. Boyle, pastor of the House of Hope Presbyterian Church, on last Sunday furnished some excellent campaign argument to use against the present city administration. He opened the eyes of thousands as to the real state of vice and immorality which is alleged to exist with the knowledge of the authorities. Defective Page The Republicans of the First Ward will hold their first mass meeting of the campaign tomorrow evening at Odd Fellows Hall. Wells street and Payne avenue. Among the speakers will be Oscar Hallam D. F. Reese, William Templeman and J. A. Jackson. The meeting will be held under the auspices of the ward organization and all voters are invited to be present. Despite the inclement weather, a splendid meeting was held at Republican headquarters Thursday night by the young men. A number of candidates were present and made short addresses. Doran, J. Watson Smith, P. Koehler and Dorell for the assembly, discussed the issues of the campaign briefly. D. F. Reese and Thomas Cochran urged the young voters to participate in politics, and J. J. Ermatinger and E. S. Cary spoke on behalf of the young man. HERBERT P. KELLER. Republican Candidate for the Assembly. Mr. Keller represents the young man in politics. He is a candidate on the Republican ticket for the assembly. The outlook for his election is of the most rosette character. Mr Keller is a lawyer, and has already held official position, having been afiliated with the city attorney's department during the incumbency of Mr. Markham. Mr. Keller is well qualified for the assembly—progressive, able and energetic. He is a good type of the young men of the city who from the left: Webster. Valther (chairman), Paul Martin are taking such a deep interest in politics and through whom the purifi- cation of public official life is having its impetus. NEXT TUESDAY IS REGISTRATION DAY.

Calloway, who represents the Montana copper industry, left a few shares of stock in the company he is agent for, that can be disposed of. Any one interested in this kind of investment can obtain information on the subject from the assayer of the company represented by Mr. Calloway, who is in Minneapolis for a few days and will be pleased to meet those interested any afternoon after October 4, 1903, between the hours of 3 and 5 at 1020 Guaranty Loan building. Justice Court Should Remain Justice Court Should Remain. A short time ago I saw in one of the daily papers the statement that the charter commission had in contemplation the chapter of the charter renting, to justice of the peace, etc. It seems strange that the members of the commission should think of such a thing, when they must know that the justice courts are the poor men's courts, where they may adjust their small grievances without the aid of an attorney, and if there were no such courts, they would have to go to the municipal court, where an attorney would be necessary and the defendant would be compelled to submit to judgment even if he had a good defense. If the justice courts are abolished, every landlord, lessee and renting agent would be compelled to employ an attorney to have a brief moved, which would come from $12 to $15 in each case; whereas, in the justice cases all they would have to do would be to go to the justice, who would make out the papers and enter the findings and judgment at the nominal price of $3 costs. And, again, the constitutional provisions for justices must not be overlooked. In Minneapolis they must have no justice courts. Now inquire how the people like it? There is no doubt but what they will have that act repealed by the next legislature. J. P. SUMMER SEASON AT THE GRAND. Each alternate summer, has witnessed the occasion of a summer stock season at the Grand Opera House, and the coming summer will present the most auspicious and pretentious offering of this order ever made at this playhouse. Two years ago the George Fawcett Company, headed by Miss Percy Haswell, played an extended season at the Grand and became decidedly popular with local theatregoers. The Fawcett Company has been playing at Chase's Theatre in Baltimore all season and is today recognized as one of the most artistic dramatic organizations in the country. Mr. Fawcett's Company is now playing a spring engagement at Richmond, Va., from which city they will come to St. Paul, infilating the opening season here on Sunday night, June 12th.

A Compilation of a Number of Happenings, Social and Otherwise, Among the Afro-Americans of the Second City of This Glorious Union. Blessings are hidden in the blows of pain. Nothing spoils life like living for spoils. It is the opportunity we make, that makes us. Slick lips are not accepted for shining lights. Better a deluded enthusiasm than a dead heart. Giving happiness is the only secret of getting it. If you wish everybody to see it, put it in THE APPEAL. Men are known by their fruits, and not by their feelings. A man's love for God may be measured by his life for men. Mr. Fremont Anderson, of Cincinnati, is visiting friends in the city. A woman can do a great deal of dressing without getting much on.

If you wish a wish on household furniture, horse, wagon, diamonds, jewelry or real estate, and are holding a salaried position, call on John Q. Grant & Co., room 311, No. 36, South Clark street. Hardly a day passes that the city press does not chronicle two or three hold-ups or murders; but the "black fiend" does not figure in the accounts. The wrong doers are whites, are spoken of as being prominent in good society and belong to good families. They are also spoken of as being very repentant after robbing and killing an innocent man. It seems that the "superior" race is preempting all fields of industry. Mrs. W. H. Porter has accompanied her parents to California, and it is rumored that Mr. Porter will soon follow and will embark in business in either Los Angeles or San Francisco. The audience room of Bethel A.

Dr. Boyle, pastor of the House of Hope Presbyterian Church, made a great exposition of the vice and immorality which is rampant in St. Paul, in a sermon at his church last Sunday. He says there are twelve gambling houses in full operation between Seven Corners and Jackson street and Ninth street and the river, two of which are conducted by Afro-Americans. He showed up the running of the "police shops" that have two daily drawings that draw $100,000 yearly from the pockets of the classes. He afforded to lose. He showed up the cost of a way in a way that was astonishing even to the initiated. Somebody's eyes will be opened to the true state of affairs in St. Paul, as Rev. Boyle stated only facts that any one can substantiate by investigation.
