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. VOL. 20. NO. 23 Hard Task for Russia Hard Task for Russia The Russians in carrying on war on the Pacific coast, more than 4,000 miles from their supplies of men and materials, all of which must be forwarded over one single-track railroad, have a problem unique in the history of war, and their success or failure in it deserves, and doubtless will receive, the attention of all students in the art of war. Before the completion of the Siberian railroad, in the face of an enemy as powerful as Japan is now, for the moment superior at sea, it would be difficult to fense. Even if a sufficient army could have been placed in Manchuria, it could not have been supplied. Some two years ago, before war was seriously thought of, it was determined to replace the 51-pound rails with 65-pound rails west of Lake Baikal, and otherwise to strengthen the road; the wide intervals between stations, which limited the number of trains, could be remedied by the laying of sidings and passing tracks within a few weeks, if material is accessible, though not easily in a Siberian winter; and the Russians have the construction forces available which have just built the great railroad. The transportation of troops over so long a line in Siberian weather requires Made Change in Tune "This talk that has been going on in the house about lynchings," said "Col." Bill Sterrett, who drifted into Washington from Texas, "reminds me of a thing that happened down in my state a few years ago. Jim Hodges, a local orator, was just coming into his house when his boy rushed and yelled: 'Pop, they're goin' to lynch a nigger over by the clearing?' "Jim jumped on his horse and rode like mad for the scene of trouble. They had the nigger on a platform and were just getting ready for the final act when Jim burst into the clearing and checked his foam-flecked horse.

Furthermore, the lamp is usually one of the "drop-light" sort, which brings the fame near and below the reader's eyes. The result sought after is, that much light be precipitated on the page, and on the page only, while the surrounding parts of the room be weakly illuminated, even to gloominess.

But what is possible for a journey of 20 or 30 miles on a road or in a freight may be quite impossible for one lasting two weeks or more, with the thermometer 40 or 50 degrees below zero. The men must eat and sleep en route. To provide for this, the cars used for carrying soldiers were lined with felt or felt paper; little glass windows were set in the sides, and an iron stove set up in each. The benches were made so that they could be transformed into bunks at night. At every alternate station hot water was provided for making tea. In nearly every train one car was fitted as a kitchen and supplied the men with hot rations of meat and porridge. At every station a case of a snow blockade the men could dig the train out. A surgeon and hospital steward accompanied each train. At several stations on the line camps were established where the men rested a day, with facilities for washing, etc., while the cars were inspected and cleansed.-Railroad Gazette you are about to do.

From a copy owned by Bostonian society Two hundred years ago, with the appearance of the Boston Newsletter in the week of April 17-24, the American press was founded. Before that time but one paper had appeared in the colonies, and that but once. The News-Letter "came to stay," and for fifteen years was the only newspaper on this side of the Atlantic. Philadelphia was the second American city to establish a paper, in 1719, and New York was third, in 1725. That time Boston had three newspapers, and on one of them, the Courant, there worked a youth whose name has ever spread luster on the craft of printing in America, Benjamin Franklin.

In 1830, 852 newspapers were published (60 dailies); in 1840, 1050 newspapers were published (4051; 1370, 5871; in 1900, 380 daily, 9,718 weekly and 1,075 other newspapers and periodicals; in 1903 the number of newspapers published in the United and Canada was 21,451. In the early days of the press in Boston the printer and the editor were often the same. There were few editors for the first fifty years of American newspapers who were not able to set type and work a press. In mechanical equipment there was no great change in the principles of letter printing for a century after the establishment of the Boston News-Letter. The invention of the cylinder press, 1814-1827, the application of mechanical power to presses in 1835, the invention of stereotyping in 1861, were the most important steps toward the great mechanical equipments of to-day, and the first commercial use of an edition of 300,000 copies of a paper containing sixty-four pages, in New- From MONDAY A Contemporary Franklin.

The development of newspapers and the means of printing them has been one of the most interesting and remarkable phases of the advancement of civilization in America in the 200 years that has passed since the American newspaper press was established in Boston, in the month of April, 1704. The Worcester antiquarian society, which possesses the most nearly complete file of American newspapers, gives a list, in its catalogue, of 156 Boston publications, months, weeklies, week-weeklies and dailies, living and dead, which at one time and an Defective Page other since the appearance of the News-Letter, April 24, 1794, have been set adrift upon the uncertain seas of popular approval. The first English newspaper printed in America was issued from a Boston press in 1680. It was a little sheet, 7x11 inches, printed on three pages, with the fourth blank, entitled "Publick Occurrences, both Foreign and Domestick." The proprietor stated it would be issued monthly, and give a "faithful relation" of all happenings. Four days after its appearance the legislature decreed that Occurrences was an unlawful enterprise and should not again appear without license from the government—something its publisher never succeeded in getting.

It was printed by Bartholomew Green and edited by John Campbell, postmaster, being modeled on the news letters that the postmaster of Boston had been in the habit of preparing and sending to the governors of the other states. In 1719 Editor Campbell lost the Boston postoffice, and his successor, following the custom of the time, founded a newspaper organ of his own, the first Boston Gazette, the new postmaster and new editor, William Brooker, making his editorial bow Dec. 21, 1719. During the twenty-two years that this original Boston Gazette existed Boston had five postmasters, and each one in succession was the Gazette's editor. In 1741 the Gazette went into a "merger"—The Boston Gazette and New England Weekly Journal. This appealed from mortal vision in 1752.

Weekly JOURNAL TUESDAY November 9. 1744 of the News-Letter. From a co- Court street, losing the job, began the publication of Boston's third newspaper, or fourth, as we may regard it, the New England Courant. The Courant made its first appearance Aug. 7, and began its career by attacking the News-Letter, calling it "a dull vehicle." Then Benjamin Franklin's big brother began to pitch into the government and criticises the clergy. His differences with the clergy had to do with vaccination, a practice which Franklin opposed by argument and ridicule. The Mathers, father and son, were lamponed with a virulence seldom witnessed in the press of the present day, and the result was an "Address to the Publick" by Dr. Ir- crease Mather, in which the Courant was denounced as "a wicked libel," and the wrath of God was called down upon the head of its editor. About this time James Franklin intimated in his paper that the Massachusetts government was dilatory in sending an armed vessel in search of pirates who were then infesting the coast, and for this he was put in jail, where he remained for four weeks. On the imprisonment of James Franklin, the management of the Courant fell to Benjamin Franklin, who, since the paper's first issue, had been "devil" in the office, and had distributed the edition to subscribers on publication days. He had been fired with a desire to write, and his communications to the editor, written secretly and put under the office door The youth Franklin at the printing press. at night, had been unsuspectingly printed by his brother. When the editorial toga fell on the shoulders of Benjamin Franklin, his ambition for the moment was realized. He ally edited the paper while his brother was in jail, and, owing to the irresponsible character of James, he was sent to Franklin in February, 1723, was given as the Courant's publisher. Much and perhaps undue glory was reflected on the history of the Court by the association with it of the great philosopher's name; but it earned at least the title to the first of the free lances in Boston journalism. One Boston weekly above all others denounced the oftentimes unfortunate and always misunderstood Liberator of William Lloyd Garrison, which, from its very inception down almost to its death, manfully stemmed the current of a strong and prejudiced public opinion. Sometimes its office was demolished.

But Garrison's "I will be heard" prevailed, and the Liberator's editor had the satisfaction of seeing the principles for which he scotty contended through long years of persecution and suffering become incorporated in the law of the land.

With the majority it is different. The average man puts his novel or his paper before him, and thinks that he will lengthen out the meal with delibration by reading a little with, and more between, the courses. He will just employ his mind enough to help, and too little to interfere with indigestion. In fact, he will provide that gentle mental accomplishment which with happier people conversation gives to a meal. This is your solitary's excellent idea. In reality he becomes engrossed in what he is reading till, suddenly finding his chop cold, he demolishes it in a few mouths; or else he finds that he is hungry, and paying no attention to the book, which he dings aside, he rushes to the kitchen to plunge into his armchair and literature afterward.

These extensive flower gardens are situated on the southern slopes of the maritime range of the Alps bordering on the beautiful blue Mediterranean in the vicinity of Nice. As no rain falls here from March till September the climate is admirably adapted to the industry. For miles and miles nothing can be seen except a vista of owers volcans.

From 1818 to 1909—eighty-five years—the number of immigrants was 21,265,723, or the equivalent of one-fourth of the total population to-day. Of all this number the United Kingdom, which includes the heavy Irish inflow, contributed 32 per cent; Germany contributed 24 per cent; Austria-Hungary, Italy, Russia and Poland furnished 21 per cent. But these last named countries in 1903 furnished 68 per cent of the immigration. Europe has sent us 93 per cent of our immigration, the western hemisphere $4\frac{1}{4}$ per cent and China and all other Allied countries, Oceania and Africa, $2\frac{1}{4}$ per cent.

About 7,000 plants are required to each acre in the rose gardens and these yield about 50,000 pounds of roses. The gardens require a sunny slope and much irrigation. The bushes are cut down to the ground each year and the plants attain an enormous size. The flowers are potted each morning while the dew is on them, because it is then that they retain their perfume. During the blossoming season many tons of roses are taken to the factories in great baskets, where they are dumped into big copper stills which hold half a barrel of water each. Then comes the distilling process which results in rose water. The rose water itself is afterward distilled, and on top of the fluid which arises from this process float oily drops.

SATURDAY, JUNE 4, 1904 "TO SAVE OUR WOMEN'S HONOR." On Thursday night of last week, Joseph Desjalegas and his fiancee, Miss Mary C. Weier, both deaf mutes, were out walking together in the suburbs of Minneapolis. They met a gang of knocked down the man and then two of the toughs held him down while the others proceeded to rage the girl. She fought as well as she could, but the brutes easily overpowered her while her partner was subdued them from calling for the man. The man was compelled to remain and witness the seven brutes in turn assault the girl. When their lust was satisfied the gang gled, leaving Desjalegas to care for the unfortunate girl, they reported to the outrage, as she dreaded the publicity that would follow. Finally she was persuaded to make a complaint, which she did in writing. Tuesday of this week. Wednesday morning Albert Berrian and his partner promptly identified by Miss Weier and Desjalegas, and both subsequently confessed and gave information which resulted in the arrest of Jacob Olson, Will Clark, John Romachik, J.

The crime was committed more than a week ago, and the accused persons have been arrested and identified for the murder of a lynching bee; and, in fact, there has not been a ripple of excitement except among the persons directly concerned in the horrible affair, and the newspapers have had very little to say about the matter. One prominent day of St. Paul, only ten miles away, told the whole story of the lynching bee in head lines: "Shocking. Deprivity Brought to Light in a Case Reported in Minneapolis." Now, we are very glad there has been no attempt to lynch the fiends, as we are opposed to mob law under any and all circumstances, but we cannot help noticing how different is the actions of both the public and the press when a black man is even suspected or accused of raping a white woman. The police are to help the "save their women's honor" is not the real reason for lynching black men, as is claimed. "Consistency, thou art a jewel." THE MARYLAND PLATFORM The platform adopted by the Democrats of Maryland was received with much applause, say the press dispatches. That is not strange, for it is one of the most amusing things ever on the public. Here is one paragraph: "More and more persuaded by the stirring events of the last six years that there is no rightful place under our system of constitutional American liberty for the conquest, subjugation, and destruction of the sea and for the dangers and evils of colonial and imperial expansion, we pledge ourselves to the adoption of all conservative and practicable measures to rescue the government from the evil conquest of the seas by seabirds from the fundamental principles of the constitution. To this end we demand that, at the earliest possible moment, independence shall be granted to the Filipinos with the same general relationship to this country as the now enjoyed by us." It will be remembered that the Maryland democrats are not so solicitous about the Afro-Americans in their state for a democratic legacy. They are also those who deprive American citizens of their rights—but that's another story. Think of Maryland democrats demanding independence for brown aliens while they vote for the citizenship to black men at home. It's enough to make a horse laugh. INTERESTING HISTORY. Baron Von Closen, an officer of Rochambeau's army, who visited Washington at White Plains in 1781, kept a diary, and it has been brought to light that he was a member of Washington's troops, he said: "Today I visited Washington at White Plaines, where I had ample opportunity for observing his brave little army. I could feel pity for these soldiers, who were treated with respect they were. It consisted only of trousers, sometimes of ragged shirt and jackets of linen. Stockings were a wanting article, but their resolute stance helped to supply the lack of proper clothing. One-fourth of the troops consisted of colored men, and all looked cheerful and well. It was the regiment from Rhode Island that I found the smartest and best disciplined of this regiment were colored men." The Caucasian-Americans have carefully suppressed the fact that so large a number of the soldiers of Washington's were Afro-Americans. The Afro-Americans, in the slaveholders rebellion, and now it seems that proof is coming to light that but for the aid of the Afro-American the american republic would not have existed at all. Dr. W. F. Drewry, superintendent of an asylum for insane Afro-Americans, at Petersburg, Va., stated at the annual convention of the American Medico-physiologist association, in session in St. Louis this week, that insanity among Afro-Americans is increasing very rapidly. At the close of this week, the Afro-Americans were under treatment in Virginia for insanity; now there are more than 1,200. He attributes the increase to the new and great responsibilities that have become theirs. The Afro-Americans are endeavoring to carry their burdens, and are "intensely human." --- The disapproval of secret fraternities in the public schools by the Chicago board of education will meet with the approval of all fair-minded citizens. They tend to lessen the spirit of democracy by drawing racial and religious lines. The members in the board of education came from an imperial superiority. The secret society has no place in the public schools of a republic. --- The statement of Thomas Nelson Page, in the月 number of McClure's, that no Caucasian woman in the South goes abroad at night for fear that she can be a base libel on the Afro-American people. Page knew that he was writing a lie when he penned the lines. He deserves the fate of Ananias. Afro-American parents should teach their children to hate evil and love all the important special representatives of the earth may be noted: Tillman, Graves, Vardaman, Dixon, Page, Money, Simmons, Abbott and others. These men have outdone the devil in their efforts to misrepresent the race. The Irish actors of the World Fair, St. Louis, refuse to caricature of their race, and refuse to play. Afro-American actors in many cases caricature their own people and their product in the film by Afro-Americans who sit in the Jim Crow galleries of the Southern剧院. A number of women have been attacked recently near New Haven, Conn. The attacks were at first said to have been made by an Afro-American, now they are charged to a Caucasian degenerate. The University of Michigan's new anti-graft department is about to be broken up by "graft." One senior has been called for taking a "rake-off." The tendency of the Caucasian to steal is imate. THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER. WASHINGTON THE CITY OF MAGNIFICENT DIS TANCES 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, June 2.—One woman and twenty-one young men were graduated Monday night at the thirtieth annual commencement of the law department of Howard University. "The com-mencement was the first Congregational church, corner Tent and G streets northwest, and the edifice was crowded with the elite of the city. The building was fe-tooned with the national colors, and the American flag, propo-riate drape, as a background to the stage, upon which were seated the graduating class. Rev. John Gordon, president of the university; B. F. Leighton, dean of the law department; B. F. Hunt, William H. Hart, Mason N. Richardson, Thomas P. Woodward, James F. Bundy, and Edward H. Morris, the latter a distinguished lawyer from Chicago, who made the address to the graduates. "The features of the occa-cious law," he wrote, "are the law," by Mrs. Eva B. Heath, the one woman graduate, whose ele-phant diction, well trained voice, and strong elocutionary powers held the attention of the audience while she read the constitution of the law as a legal entity from the early days to the present. The Invincible orchestra, under the direction of Prof. Edward Ambler, rendered music during the evening, and was presented an onation on "The Ideal Government." The degrees were conferred by Rev. John Gordon, D. D., president of the university, who made a touching farewell address to the class, bidding them farewell to the university, always remember the principles that had been taught them as students of Howard University. He told them that the next greatest crime against the freedom of religious belief was to hinder the liberty of the mind of one's fellows, and he urged them to always recollect the duty that will rest upon them as members of the bar to protect the freedom of the church to met out punishment to the guilty. Mr. Morris' address was fraught with good advice to the embryo solons of the law. He warned them to avoid the idle pleasures of life and to turn a deaf ear to the praise that is cheap in the winning, and he suggested to them that asgard is a good thing for the young men, and he told them to wait until they had attained eminence in their profession before undertaking to lead in the contests of the ballot. He took the position that in these days the law was necessary for the lawyer to adopt specialities. The two great elements of success presented by Mr. Morris were strict integrity and determined persistence. He pointed out that the field of the law was not laden with roses, but that to attain success in it meant a long, hard struggle, in which the ordinary person goes to him who "sticks to it." Courage, manhood and honesty need must be a part of you to cause you to say, "I don't know, but will look it up if you desire. Your good friends will be there because you have graduated, to be able to expound the constitution and to unravel the most difficult legal proposition. Don't do it. Don't make believe you can do it. Don't crowd of your community—without aid or assistance from you are ready to credit you with possessing the combined wisdom of Moses and Solomon, coupled with the elegance of a Wirt and the learning of a lawyer, fair—but, don't you think it is true because they say it, or even believe it. It is said of an old practitioner, that when asked a legal question either on the street corner or at any social gathering, he used to ask questions with which I am unacquainted—that one's of them." To you I command this answer. Some people—the worst and the best-meaning people in the world will seek to purloin legal advice or to make a laughable stock of you by asking advice Don't pretend or claim to be the wisest, brightest or smartest man of your town—be satisfied to be the lawyer. Run not after strange gods, nor bow down before them. Hold fast to your law books—for your profession and for your business. "Must stress," and she will quickly veto a partnership. Have the courage not to be boastful. Don't run around and get the editor of your local newspaper to refer to you as "our most prominent attorney." Now, reputation is a good thing, if you can live up to it—but it is a bad thing, and may prove your undoing, if you can't. Don't pretend to boasting that you can make six thousand a year out of your practice and end the week by asking your friends to sign a petition to secure for you a position paying $150 per month. Stick to your profession. Choosing a location and specializing may have much to do with your ability to get on in your calling. These things should be more than carefully considered by you are a decision is arrived at. It is not always the large cities that afford the best fields—nor are the places where are to be found great numbers of men and women of all ages. Then lawyers because they want to win law suits. The graduates were: Richard L. Baltimore, Robert B. Barcus, A. B. Charles L. Bowling, J. Albertus Brown, Thomas J. Calloway, A. B. Thomas H. R. Clarke, James C. Campbell, Charles S. Darden, Oscar H. Farrington, Evva B. Heath, J. Richard Hill, Joseph E. Jones, Benjamin F. Mitchell, John D. Parker, Foster B. Pettie, Robert Pelham, Jr., George G. Ross, Neval H. Thomas, A. B., Thomas M.

The case of Dorr and O'Brien, editors of a Manila newspaper, who were convicted of libel in the Philippines after having demanded a jury trial, which was denied them, was decided by the supreme court of the United States, Justice Day rendering the opinion. The court, therefore, held that the refusal of that right to the defendants was correct, and that they were properly convicted of gross libel. The defendant was therefore a supreme court law was therefore affirmed. Justice Harlan, Peckham, Brewer, and Fuller dissented. Justice Harlan declared his conviction that the defendants were part of the United States and that the constitution of the United States extended to those islands, and that the right of trial by jury was a fundamental one which necessarily was extended to every place owned by the defendant, and that he was taken away by any power of congress. The decision of the court, he claimed, was an amendment of the constitution by judicial construction, which was a most dangerous step. The fact that some of the people of the Philip to appreciate the full benefit of the constitution was no reason why the supreme court of the United States should say that all of the inhabitants of those islands, including the United States citizens resident there, should be deprived of the right of a jury trial. Secretary Hay, so closely associated with President Lincoln at the time of the Civil War, is sought more, perhaps, than any other man prominent in the present administration as a speaker at G. A.

The Baptist Sunday school convention meets at Mt. Vernon, June 21. The residence of Mrs. Ella Oats, at Du Quilon, has been destroyed by fire. Mr. William Barnett, of Du Quoin, is showing great talent as a cornetist. Mr. Lee Brooks, of Murphysboro, has opened a first-class restaurant in that city. Mr. Sheard Sparkman, who broke his leg at Mound City recently, is recovering. Rev. H. Simons preached the annual sermon to Co. I, I. N. G., at Bethel church, Quincy, last Sunday. Prof. J. D. Alston, financial agent for the Metropolis industrial school, has been very successful. There are four graduates of the Metropolis high school this year: Messrs. Levada Martine, Bessie Phillips, Desda Roberts and Nellie Wheeler. Rev. Gibson, the Bishop minister at Mt. Vernon, was "surprised" last week.

CORRESPONDENT WANTED 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 Leng Way Off, the Pot Begins to Boil. Former Governor Black of New York will make the speech nominating President Roosevelt at the Chicago convention. "President Roosevelt will be nominated by acclamation and elected by a large majority, as the Democrats cannot bring forward a candidate who can defeat him," says Senator Albert J. Hopkins of Illinois. Big conventions are not as likely to be stamped this year as they were ten years ago, or even two years ago. Delegates are chosen with greater care, for the importance of the office, the delegate is beginning to be appreciated. There will be just two questions for deliberation by the convention—the candidate for vice president and the platform. It is possible, but not probable, that the vice president of the conference list by the time the conference meets. Senator Fairbanks of Indiana and Congressman Hitt of Illinois are the most prominent favorites. The Republican National Committee will meet at Chicago June 15 to take up contests. The committee does not expect any trouble in deciding any of the contests except that from Wisconsin. It is feared that that contest will be carried to the floor of the conference by the national committee and the committee on credentials may be. OLDEST CITY IN AMERICA A Buried Town in Honduras Near the Gatamala Line. You were doubtless taught that St Augustine, Fla., is the oldest city in America, and so far as settlements by Europeans are concerned, that is probably correct, but scientists know of a city old that there is no telling when it was built, and they often speak of it as "the oldest city in America." This "city" is Copan, buried in the forests of Honduras, near the Guatemala boundary line. It is not a city in the modern sense of the word, for it is only a heap of ruins, but there is enough to show that at some time centuries ago it was a busy city of population and population. Indians of Yucatan and Central America were at the height of their civilization. They built cities by constructing the bases of great pyramids out of blocks of stone of enormous size. These blocks were taken from quarries some times two miles distant, were conveyed to the "city" and placed in the wall in perfect order, and yet it is not known that the Mayas and any machinery for handling such heavy material. The pyramidal base of Copan is built up in layers of stone, and the flat top are placed the palaces, the altars and other smaller pyramids. From all evidence Copan was in ruins when Cortez conquered Mexico in 1521. The Spaniard and his soldiers passed within a short distance of it and did not see the town at all, so it must have been deserted even then. And yet the ruins of Copan bear evidence of having lain there, buried amid the luxuriant foliage of Honduras, for ages, and only some crude inscriptions on the rocks can give a clew to the history of the wonderful place. These inscriptions foliage of Honduras, for ages, are statues and images made of rock, but they are meaningless. Copan's history is unknown, and so scientists are wont to speak of it as "the oldest city in America."—Chicago Record. WORST PERIL OF THE SEA. Boiler Explosions Are the Chief Terrors of a Sailor's Life. Among the many perils that surround a sailor's life there is nothing he dreads more than a boiler explosion at sea. Such a catastrophe is bad enough on dry land, but when it happens many miles from land on a stormy sea there are additional horrors to it. Every year the number of steamers which disappear and leave no mark behind to tell of their fate runs up well toward 100. A typhoon may sweep down like lightning out of a clear sky and tear a ship to pieces, but some floating wreckage is sure to tell the tale. A boiler explosion, on the contrary, will blow a bole as big as a tunnel through the bottom of the ship, and down she will go, leaving nothing behind her to tell of her fate. She sinks like a shot. There is no time to launch the boats or cut loose a spar to which to cling. Sailor men believe that 90 per cent of the mysterious disappearances of steamers on the sea can be accounted for by boiler explosions. The modern system of steam boiler inspection for ocean-growing steamers is strict, but it is impossible to guard completely against fraud and carelessness. There is an old story of a drunken engineer who mistook the thermometer for who mistook the gauge and cursed out his stokers who could "get" the pressure above eighty pounds.

"The James Boys in Missouri," which comes to the Grand next week, is a high-class melodrama based on the lives of the famous Missouri deserpoes, and unlike productions taking the same theme has nothing of the "blood and thunder" element about it. Thrilling scenes include a man interesting in love, story and the most elaborate scenery ever furnished a production of this kind, make the play one of the successes of the season. The "Blue Cut Train Robbery" is portrayed with an elaboration of scenery which is seldom equalled in the best metropolitan theatres, and the company carries with it the company portray the incidents of this sensational hold-up. The play takes the James Boys from the Civil War until Bob Ford assassinated Jesse James. While the title of the play may seem a little daring, the production is of high moral tone throughout, and also has a great depth. The company selected to produce this drama is a large and competent one, containing the names of many well known artists. CHARLES E. JAMES. Mr. Charles E.

DAIRY CO., SUMMER SEASON AT THE GRAND. But one more week will intervene before the opening of the summer season at the Grand opera house, which on Sunday night, June 12th, will introduce to the boards of that popular playhouse, Miss Wright, as well as the郭 strong acting contingent, known as the Geo. Fawcett Company. Artistically the success of summer productions depends not only upon the individual ability of the various players that go to make up the company, but also on the length of their associations and the measure of harmony they reach in their performances. Many companies, composed of clever individuals, have been organized for summer work, and yet have failed of the purpose artistically for the reason that the efforts of the different artists did not blend properly. The selection of artists in a company is finished ensemble and the harmony of talent is in itself a faculty that but few managers possess. Mr. Fawcett has always been happy in this feature of the work, and the various companies that he has assembled at times in different parts of the country have been successful in the success of combined company effort. the organization Mr. Fawcett brings to assist Miss Haswell this summer is made up of clever artists. The leading roles of a juvenile character will be assigned to Charles Wynne, who will be the successful hero, who possesses a strong degree of virility, and who is besides handsome and graceful, and of that style of player that most pleases the feminine theatre goer. In the leading roles of a character order, Mr. Fawcett will be assigned to his him brings to his work a more intelligent conception of dramatic art, more consideration of the legitimate than Mr. Fawcett. A splendid voice and a profound histrionic knowledge eminently qualifies him for the line of characters he undertakes. Of course, if he goes to theatre, although the theatre goers already recognize her talent and versatility, and she is sure in the line of leading parts that she will assume this summer to strengthen materially that high regard in which she is already held, and that even enjoying her in some of the old time successes, but will all have the opportunity of seeing her in some entirely new characterizations. Cheap summer prices, a popular star, a strong assisting company, and a playhouse cool and pleasant in summer, seems to make a combination augurs well for the success of the Grand summer season. A. C. HOWARD. Inventor of Best Shoe Polish in the World Visits St. Paul. Mr. A. C. Howard of Chicago, inventor of Howard's Lightning Shoe Polish; and president of The A. C. Howard Manufacturing Co., manufacturers of standard leather dressings, dies and shoe polishes, was in the city this week and gave The Appeal a call. Mr. Howard's preparations were awarded the Medal of Merit with Mr. Howard of 1909 and they are considered to be the best that are made anywhere. The big department stores in most of the large cities handle Howard's goods. He has made an arrangement with the Golden Rule in this city to handle his goods and this enterprising and upreparatory work he did with Mr. Howard. Mr. Howard states that he now gets orders from all parts of the civilized world and the manufactory at 3544 State street is constantly working at full capacity. This is quite pleasing and is an object lesson, teaching the fact that if an Afro-American will produce an article that is as good or better than others it. Howard's manufacturing Shoe Polish is the best on the market and though he has "his face on every box" it sells like hot cakes. Wanted.

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 thrust. He slew tigers in the jungle, and scaled redskins on the plain. He chased lions across the mountains and harponed 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. And he'd lick his weight in wildcats—kick them higher than the stars. But his shoes were in his pocket and his face was ghastly white; he was silent as an oyster when he climbed the stairs at night.
