The Appeal

THE APPEAL KEEPS IN FRONT BECAUSE: 1- It aims to publish all the news possible. 2- It does so impartially, wasting no words. 3- Its correspondents are able and energetic. Goes Back to Nature A son of a Portland (Ore.) physician has created a sensation by the startling method of living which he has adopted and which he advises all to adopt who desire perfect health. He advocates a return to the primitive way of living without clothing. Ernest W. Darling, son of Dr. J. W. Darling, is the man who advocates the return to ways primeval. Until a year ago he lived in Portland, but was compelled to seek a sunnier time on account of his health. For the Laat year he has lived on the summit of a hill or the outskirts of Los Angeles, Cal. He does not occupy a house, nor even a tent. The sole habitation is about seven by four feet and two feet in depth. In that peculiar place, trapped in a lover's house, he is an ardent lover of nature and believes that by his method of living he is able to commune more closely with its invisible forms and at the same time build up his constitution, which was shattered by disease. "Good health is the first requisite for religion or anything else," he says, when questioned concerning his novel ideas. "I firmly believe that if we take perfect care of our health, avoiding all accidents or disease, we shall live eternally in these bodies of ours. Every person should learn gradually to live outdoors and to live on natural food—that is, food just as it Flagged by a Cow "Those people sleeping comfortably back in the Pullmans little know how often the engineer grasps the air brake valve thinking that the next minute his widow and fatherless children will be eligible to participate in the division of the Carnegie hero fund," said the fat engineer.

"One night last week I was coming east on No. 44, and, though I do say it myself, we were hitting the trail at a rate that would make the Empire State express look like a stationary engine. I was pretty sure we'd come under the wire on time all right, when suddenly flashed a red light comin' at me wavily in violently at right angles with the track—the usual flag signal. "Hem," I says to myself, "another freight hoag laid down ahead, and it's up to us to do the Good Samaritan act and push 'em out. Gettin' a train over this pike on time makes that stunt of the camel gain" through the needle's eye hook like falling out of a hat.

He can take the steps on They "Buck the Tiger" In Butte, Mont., there is a gambling house where the patronage of ladies is the special feature of the management, and where all kinds of women play the good old game of faro, perfectly at home and without fear of interruption. The entrance is from the lobby, and the rooms are luxuriously furnished. Carpets are laid on the floors, softened lights shine over the players, courteous attendants deal and shuffle the cards and pay bets or take winnings without the slightest suggestion of the incongruity of the situation. Here many fashionably gowned women come home in parties or in pairs with桌桌, to quietly venture silver or gold pieces coined from copper by their husbands, who busy themselves in Butte's continuous political war. Women of the business world keep track of the game, and both dealer and player usually maintain a rigid silence, and are always with the simple word "five" or "ten," and conversation is economized to a minimum. And there are schemes to inveigle the unsuspecting that only the initiated understand. Many women of the middle classes are among the most Of Thirty Years Ago She's walking in her garden, with quiet step and slow— Ann does not lose her lover now thirty years ago.

As the world full of springtime of thirty comes from the hand of nature. Personally I prefer the fruit of the tropics—bananas, persimmons, figs, dates which have been proved to give as great strength and endurance as does any mixed diet. "The objects in living on natural food are: - To make us more natural in thought and in action. "Second—From an economical standpoint, it is far cheaper where these fruits grow. It is well known by travelers in the tropics that we can live on $1 a month or less. "Third—There is a very decided humanitarian issue in this diet. No animal has to suffer imprisonment and final slaughter in order to feed the fruitarian. The fruitarian will take his meal directly from the tree and eat." Mr. Darling has evidently found these results in his mode of life, for he has built himself up wonderfully. When he left Portland a year ago he went to New York, where he now weighs about one hundred and seventy-five pounds. It was done without a drop of medicine. He rises at daylight, takes a cold shower bath, then runs half a mile or so. Then he goes through calisthenic exercises before eating breakfast of milk. He eats regularly three times daily and always has a good appetite. the tank when we go by and tell me what's the matter.

FEUDS Personal feuds have played their part, and a fateful one, in the history of the presidency. Had not Alexander Hamilton been the unyielding foe of Aaron Burr, the latter, and not Jefferson, would have succeeded the elder Adams; but even more momentous in its consequences was the long battle' between Andrew Jackson and Henry Clay. When Jackson first ran for the presidency, in 1824, the candidates opposing him were Adams, Aaron Burr Aaron Burr Crawford and Clay. None of the four secured a majority of the electoral college, and the election thus devolved upon the House, with choice to be made from the three candidates—Adams, Crawford and Jackson—who had received the most electoral votes. This debarred Clay, who, as he expressed it, to choose between two evils, announced that he had decided to support Adams. But Clay's determination no longer became known as some of Jackson's friends attempted to drive him from it. The weapon used for this purpose recalls one of the most discreditable incidents in our political history. A few days before the time set for the election in the House a letter appeared in a Philadelphia newspaper, asserting that Clay had agreed to support Adams upon condition that he be made Secretary of State. The same terms, the letter alleged, had been of fered to Jackson's friends; but none of them would "descend to such mean barter and salary," as they purported to be written by a member of the House. Clay at once published a card, in which he pronounced the writer "a dastard and a liar," who, if he dared avow his name, would forthwith be called to the field. Two days later the letter was acknowledged by a witness member from Pennsylvania, Kremer my name, who asserted that the statements he had made were true, and that he was ready to prove them to duel with an opponent. Something, however, had to be done, and Clay immediately demanded an investigation by a special committee of the House. Such a committee was duly selected. None of its members had supported Clay for the presidency. Kremer promptly declared his willingness to meet the inquiry, but in the end the committee reported that he had declined to appear before it, sending instead communication to the House to compel him to notify. No further action was taken, and in this shape, for the time being, the matter rested. Soon, however, came the election of Adams by the House, followed quickly by his appointment of Clay as his Secretary of State. Though it is now generally acknowledged that there has been no bargain between Adams and Clay, it was natural that, at the moment, the rank and file so soon agreed to regard Clay's appointment as conclusive proof that such a deal had been made. By accepting it Clay made himself the victim of circumstantial evidence. As M. Roscoe Conkling a matter of fact, he hesitated to accept the place, and finally assumed its duties with reluctance. He felt chiefly determined to believe that he believed he should accept it would be argued that he dared not. This to Clay was more obnoxious than the other horn of the dilemma. He therefore, took the alternative of bold defiance; but in so doing committed a calamitous error. A strong effort was made at the moment to reject Clay's nomination. This falling, the cry of "bargain and corruption" was again raised, and with it began another contest for the presidency, a contest longer and more scandalous than any other in our no- Defective Page literal annals. Everything that rancorous partisan intention could concoct was spread broadcast by the Jackson journals; nor were Clay and Adams the sole objects of the storm of slander. Charges of the most infamous character were made against Jackson, and infamed his animosity against Adams and Clay to a degree that approached insanity. Jackson believed Capable of anything of which the latter could be accused, he gave caveats to the "bargain and corrupted ory," which was printed, placarded and carped upon throughout the land. Clay on the other hand, was unable on the stump to assume the line of dignified refutation; and his language, losing all restraint, became the vehicle of raving wrath. The result of the contest was a signal tri- Alexander Hamilton. Alexander Hamilton. umph for Jackson. Even Kentucky, Clay's own state, went against him, and Adams retired in the shadow of deep humiliation because himself was a candidate against Jackson, he received but forty-nine out of 286 electoral votes. In 1880 the unresteting animosity of Henry B. Payne alone prevented Allen G. Thurman from being made the nominee of the democratic national convention. In 1857 Payne was a candidate for the democratic nomination for governor of Ohio. He conditioned himself in Compass, and Thurman then fresh from a period of buremite service on the supreme bench of his state, had a friend in whose candi- JOHN HENRY BURTON Henry B. Payne dacy for state treasurer he was much interested. Some of Payne's lieutenants, without his knowledge, promised Thurman the support of the Payne forces for his friend in return for the votes he controlled in the convention; but the Thurman candidate for treasurer failed at the last moment to receive the promised support of the Payne following, and was defeated. Payne was not aware of the trick that had been played upon Thurman, but the latter, who scorned double dealing in any form, was quick to resent it. Within the hour the opportunity to do fell in the hands. The convention ended, in the form of a hotel for dinner, accompanied by some friends, and in joyful mood opened wine in celebration of his success. Presently Thurman and a few friends came in and took seats at an adjoining table. Payne bade the waiter carry a bottle of wine to the newcomers, but in a moment it came back with the graff . James Q. Blaine James G. Blaine message that Mr. Thurman did not care for any of Mr. Payne's wine. In evident surprise at this retusal, Payne rose from his seat and crossed to the group of which Thurman was the central figure. "I trust you and your friends will drink a bottle of wine with me, judge," he said urbanly. "Drink to my mo- cess and the victory of the democratic party." "I do not want any of your wine, sir," was the reply, "I told that damned waiter to say as much to you, sir, a moment ago." And so saying, Thurman turned his back abruptly on the man from Cleveland. Payne never forgot nor forgive this public insult. The quarrel thus begun ever after kept the two men apart, and three and twenty years later thwarted Thurman's highest ambition. In 1880 he was a candidate for the presidential nomination before the democratic national convention. Had he had the unfinching support of the old duo that he would have been the nominee. The delegation was solid for him on the first ballot. Then it broke and the chances of his nomination vanished into thin air. Payne was behind the break. The delegates from the district in which his influence was supreme led it and were strongest in the claim which stamped the convention to a dark horse. As Ohio was then an October state and practically certain that he was disastrous to the democratic cause. That argument defeated Thurman and nominated Hancock, and the revenge of Payne was complete. But the most dramatic of all the political feuds of the last forty years, both in its inception and its sequel, was that between Blaine and Roscoe Conkling. The two men entered the popular branch of Congress at about the same time, and both soon became leaders in that body. There was, however, little in common between them save the gift of pre-eminence ability. Conkling made Blaine the object of his sarcasm whenever opportunity offered, and the member from Maine was prompt to retort in kind. Thus the enmity grew until, in the course of one of their many encounters, Blaine, stung to the quick by an unjust and ungenerous aunt, burst forth in an onslaught on his tormentor or which wrought the House into a high pitch of excitement and marked the beginning of a fierce party that ended in the humiliation of Conkling and the defeat of Blaine for President. Here are Blaine's words, and they are a model of exorcism: "As to the gentleman's cruel sarcasm, I hope he will not be too severe. The contempt of that large minded gentleman is so wilting, his haughty disdain, his grandiloquent swell, his majestic, supereniment, overpowering turkey-gobber strut has been so crushing to myself and all members of this House that I know it was an act of the greatest temerity Allen G. Thurman for me to venture upon a controversy with him." Then, referring to a chance newspaper comparison of Conkling to Henry Winter Davis, lately dead, he continued: "The gentleman took it seriously and it has given his sturt additional pompity. The resemblance is great; it is striking—Hyperion to a satyr, Thersites to Hercules, mud to marble, dunghill to diamond, a singed cat to a Bengal tiger, a whipped puppy to a roaring lion. Shade of the mighty Davis, forgive the almost profanation of that locose satire." There could be no reconciliation after such an onslaught, and the battle was to the death. Defeated for the Republican nomination by Conkling and his friends in 1876 and again in 1880, Blaine in the latter year threw his following to his friend Garfield, who, nominated and elected, made Blaine his secretary of state and official right hand. Then came the struggle over the New York patronage, which retired Conkling, and was followed by the assassination of Garfield. In 1884, when Blaine was finally the formal choice of his party, conkling long ago criticized, but the sequel program that his still the will and power to strike a mortal blow. A defection of a few hundred votes in Conkling's home county of Oneida gave that county, normally Republican, to Cleveland, and with it the electoral vote of New York and the presidency. Conkling had wiped out the score against his ancient enemy—Rufus Rockwell Wilson in Philadelphia Ledger. Lion imams frequently perfume themselves with lavender. There is, having attacked a trainer who had taken the precaution of using this Weapons of Modern War The present war has raised, perhaps more acutely than ever before, the question how far it is permissible to go with death-dealing inventions. . . . This recalls to mind the mysterious invention of the great Dundonald, which was so terrible that the British government even in its need and extremity shrank from employing it in war. It is clear that the secret lest somebody should put it to use and literally "stagger humanity." Dundonald, who was as accomplished in chemistry and engineering as he was formidable in conflict, first proposed his device in the early Napoleonic wars, to annihilate the French fleet and fortresses at Toulon. It was considered by a committee composed of the foremost army and navy authorities and including Congreve, the inventor of the rocket. The committee reported that the device would undoubtedly do all that Dundonald claimed, but with a devastating fury that would not use nor divulge his invention due to use it at Toulon or at Flushing. When Dundonald went to South America, the British government exacted of him a pledge that he would not use nor divulge his invention there, a pledge which he kept at cost of forfeiting his pay from South American states. In 1846, when there was fear of war with France, his scheme was again considered by a British committee, which reported that it would infiltrally annihilate a hostile fleet, but that the use of it would be inhumane. The British Government was considered for the rescue of Sobotaput, but though nobody doubted it would do the work effectively, it was rejected on the same grounds as before. So to this day the awful secret remains a secret, hidden Spy on Each Other Every nation leads a double life. Even our own honest republic is honeycombed with dark recesses of policy and what is rightly called statecraft. Our president is supplemented by Mr. Hay, and, as well, by John E. Wilkie, our chief of secret service, who wears, quite properly, a dark air of mystery as he goes about the world. We have not invented espionage and I do not know that we have perfected it, but where, other spies go our list-footed gentlemen go also, and there is in Washington a tolerably complete knowledge of the doings in the underworld of international politics. Brussels, however, is the capital of international espionage, whether it be political or diplomatic or military—this by reason of its central position and the nexus of Belgium. The treasury of France has always been singularly good, as it has need to be. Of recent years, however, the service has been badly dislocated. Both England and Germany have outmaneuvered it time and again. A few years ago a stranger in Paris might have seen a whole city boiling with patriotism and hissing an alien king in the streets. What interest had the Parisians in crying "A bas le jungle Uhlan" to Uhlan? No, the Non- European world. The German embassy had, however, at that moment an interest in creating a "diplomatic The Sand Man's Town Come cuddle your head on my breast, lit- tle and cover your drowsy eyes.

Lord Lyveden, who has traveled all over the world, narrated at a dinner some of his adventures. At one point he said: "I used to know in Australia an intelligent and interesting missionary. He and I were talking one day about the natives of New Guinea, and he told me how one of these natives had stumped him in a certain argument. "It seems that he had accosted the native, and urged him to let himself be civilized." He said, "good, the native asked, 'will this civilization of yours do me?' "Well," said the missionary, 'you will desire, for one thing, to take all $2:40 PER YEAR. Modern War away in the confidential archives of the British war office. Now, it may be that the British government was right, and that Dundonald's invention was too inhumanly destructive to be used. But it seems doubtful if governments will assent to the outlawing of any of the existing engineg of war, or even of some new inventions that may yet be perfect. mand that warfare in the twentieth century should be conducted with the weapons of the tenth century. Nor are we sure that it would be well for humanity thus to restrain warfare within primitive limits, even if it could be done. The more terrible the engines of war become, the fewer the wars themselves become, and, strange as it may seem, the less destructive they become. Hannibal used weapons which would be contemptible by the side of those of the last hundred years, and his army was a mere handful compared with those wielded by Nassau of the last century can be compared with Cannae in destructiveness to human life. Had Gatsby equalled it, proportionately, not a single man of Lee's army would have been alive. As for Waterloo, its slaughter seems insignificant besides that of the Apuliaian field. Nor was Cannae singular. The battles and the wars of old were, as a general rule, more numerous and more deadly than those of modern times. The broadsword and the pilum did greater harm than the sword. So, in a strange way, do deadly invenions lessen mortality, and so, with a strange literalness, does civilization get forward on a powder cart—New York Tribute. incident," and so it distributed money to the servile press of Paris, loosed its many agents in the streets, and the organized "manifestation." This is a single, slight illustration of the utility—the morality is another question—of a secret service which has to do with more than smugglers and colonists and such simple folks. One cannot live for many years in Europe and study what are ironically called "public affairs" without cutting many of these dark trails. International espionage is a huge and complicated system. That part of the world in which public politics is by far the most important. In France, at all events, under the popular tumult of many a noisy election, the wily work of England or Germany has been discovered. Three years ago I was told by one who was informed that the French government knew and was watching the following foreign agents—274 Germans, eighteen Austrians, seventy-one Italian, eleven Spaniards, seventy. Engl's men and thirty-three Russians and Poles, with a fair complement of Americans. Do they do a retaliatory network of observation hardly the smallest minnow of fact can escape.

Cav: airy, military aide to President Fran. cis and director of the military camps at the World's Fair. after having as- signed the Eighth Miinois regiment to a position (n the regular military camp, learned that the regiment was composed of Afro-Americans, wrote to Col.

This nf conrse Col, Marshall refused to do and the regiment decided to abandon i's tris to the fair, The matter was ‘yought to the notice of the War De- vartment and Lieut.

Mrs. Terrell appears to have been be: yond every other of our delegates. prominent for her ability to make ad- dresses In other than her own -Jan- guage.” We doff our hat to our able representative. rs.

Hon. W. T. Coe is a striking example of the right sort of men. A little incident which occurred some time ago will demonstrate that fact. An Afro-American of this city purchased a home near the residence of Mr. Coe. There was some protest among the white residents and one of them approached Mr. Coe and importunted him to use his influence in the community against the Afro-American. Mr. Coe said: "It's character and not color of one's skin that counts, and if he proves to be respectable I have no objection to having him for a neighbor, and will extend to him the right to vote." Mr. Coe has found the Afro-American to be one of his best neighbors. Every one has found Mr. Coe to be a Christian gentleman and a first-class lawyer. He is a candidate for Congress.
