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. VOL. 20. NO. 34 Melon Was a "Peach" Gustam is truly a connoisseur, and the culinary feats he can perform upon a two-barreer gas stove in his apartments is the wonder of his friends. He has been on the lookout for detectable capacities to cool and refresh. The luxury that tickled his palate most was a watermelon that had been doctored with rum and chicet and cooled to the freezing point. Inspired by this work of art, Gustam forthwith planned a surprise for a few of his friends. He procured a huge watermelon, the necessary rum and wine, and, in accordance with the recipe, stirred up a mixture, plugged the melon, poured in the liquid, inserted the plug and set the whole in the refrigerator to cool for two days. Then, summoning his friends, he cut the melon. Before taking a bite himself, Gustam proudly awaived laudatory remarks and exclamations of praise. His friends ate in silence. Upon tasting his slice Gustam could detect but the faintest flavor of rum and wine.

M. Robinson states. "Between Wormsley's and St. Helen's in Cornwall, is an underground canal connecting the lower levels of the coal mines at Wormsley's with the surface station at St. Helen's, which saves a great deal of money for the mine owners in handling the coal, which is simply loaded on the barges in the mines and transported by the canal under the mountain, the harbor at St. Helen's, the canal was visited, however, how to provide for locomotion for these barge was a problem.

The bridegroom, Vasillej, was a handsome peasant, the bride a beautiful girl of 18. M. Reshetnikoff gave them a large wooden cottage and a plot of land, and at the wedding breakfast greeted them as the second generation of his nurslings "who are to make of holy Russia an early earthly Olympus people with Apollo and Hebes." At the time of the Russo-Turkish war, his knifel, struck with the inferior, ill-nourished physique of many recruits, set aside annually out of his large fortune 10,000 rupees for the purpose of the unfit by encouraging marriage only between young people of exceptional beauty, health and intelligence. He employed as workers on his estate only the handsomest Odd and Fanciful Idea An odd and fanciful idea is advanced by Zona Gale, writing for Outing, in which she gives her reason for her "discovery" as "the coming of Semiramis." The semiramis is evidently furry little kitten, and evidently of the owner this dainty feline says: "It has long been my belief that fairies are the little souls of something. At first I was puzzled to know of what, but since the coming of Semiramis it is quite simple. Her mysterious amber eyes and little body are the souls of truth; fairies are the souls of all little kittens. And let only him deny this who can cast the first proof to the contrary!" "I say let him' deny it; for what- liquor he had put in? Much mystified, he explained the circumstances, but all the comfort he got was the accusation that he had been "stingy with the booze" and the admonition "to put more in next time." As it was, however, they got away with half of the melon and then Gustam called the janitor and gave him the other half. An hour or so later the janitor's wife knocked at the door, and as she faced Gustam and his guests she began with a great show of righteous wrath: "Mister Chus (hic) tum, not did yez put (hic) in that malon? Me ould mon (hic), me ould-mone—mec ould mon (hic), ich down there yellin wid (hic) th' jimjams! O il wanda know whas yez put (hic) in that malon? I am a joke (hic) in joke mons, yuz put up (hic) on wanda? wanna know (hic)——" The truth dawned upon Gustam. By reason of the melon lying two days in one position the rum and wine had all settled in the lower end and he had given that end to the janitor.—New York Press.

After the barge was once started this was found to be feasible. The men could easily keep the load in motion by the means suggested, and it has ever since been in use. There is no question about the low grade of this sort of work, and even the men who follow it are constantly 'kicking' around the villages where they live. They were known at the mines officially as 'kickers' because of their work, and their voices caused every one to imply the 'sor' or 'St. Helen', no matter what their station or employment, who indulged in complaints to be called 'kickers'.

THE APPEAL BROOKLYN WITH US SERIES One of the features of the entertainment provided for the delegates to the annual meeting of the United States League of Building Associations in Sault Ste. Marie, a performance of the song of Hiawatha by Ojib- HIAWATHA RETURNS WITH HIS BRIDE way Indians in a natural open-air theater near the "Soo." "The old legend of the tribe, Longfellow has made familiar by his wonderful characteristic poem, is reduced to what might be called tableaux vivant, for, as presented by the Indians, it has scarcely the merits of the drama as we now look upon it, and yet it is not a long cry from the primitive plays from which it was played. Most of it is in pantomime, although speech—the Ojibway language is used—is not entirely discarded. The singular appropriateness of performing this beautiful legendary drama on the spot where its action is believed to have actually taken place in those distant ages whose history is recorded only in the folk-tales, interests the spectator almost as much as the performance itself. On the shores of Lake Huron, near Kingston, only a short distance from the famous "Soo" canal, through whose enormous locks more tonnage passes each year from any port in the world, the drama is performed each year. Sidewalks, the legendary past, alive with mythological Indian heroes and heroes, is the insistent commercial present, choking the canal with its onrushing tide of business and clouding the sky with the smoke of industrial fires. While the human desire for gain may account for some of the interests taken in the play by the Indians, there is evidently a deeper incentive responsible for their appearance in the annual play. There is undoubtedly family pride in the past of their tribe, and pride in the fact that the poet of the pale faces took the tribal legend and made of it a poem known around the world. It is approached with high religious plays are in certain other parts of the world, from the Indian point of view it expresses something of the religion, or former religion, of the tribe. The drama of "Hiwatha" is of recent origin. Although the legend has been told from generation to generation in the Ojibway tribe, it was only four years ago that it was reduced to some blance of a play and performed. It is known that the Aztecs had a drama; indeed, one of them told a story startlingly similar to that of Damon and Pythias, so familiar in our own literature. With the coming of the white men certain "ballets" or pantomimes with words, were written or Central American tribes and yet were taught by the missionaries or travelers to act in them. While the North American Indians have a strong dramatic gift, which must be known to all who have studied them, they have no drama, although certain ceremonies and tribal rites are, in a measure, theatrical. During the year 1899 a sportsman's show was held in Boston, and, indeed, in other cities of the country, at which a group of Qiblaws were present to give the necessary local color. While showing in Boston, Kaboas, a leader among the tribe, and his nephew, Wabonosa, were entertained by the daughters of the poet Long-fellow. The Indians were charmed with the attentions of their hostesses, and the latter were desirous to visit the Qiblaws' home in the wattle country. This by-incident suggested to L. O. Armstrong, the head of the Colonizing Department of the Canadian Pacific railway, that it would be a novel and interesting specia- for the Qiblaws to perform a Defective Page drama made from the legend of Hiawatha. So it was arranged, and the following summer, 1900, the daughters of the poet, when they visited the Indian camping grounds in the mountains to the play, performed by Indian actors. On this occasion the amateur actors numbered about seventy-five, and were carefully chosen from the Shingwauk band of the Ojibways, who reside on the Garden River Reserve, twenty miles southeast of Sault Ste. Marie, in the province of Ontario. It is well known that Longfellow heard the original legend of Hiwata from his friend, Schoolcraft, the author of the Ojibways. There appears to be some doubt whether Longfellow ever visited the country himself, although the aged Chief Buk-wuj-ji-nl-always maintained that the poet visited him, and that he related the legend to him. However that may be, it has been generally conceded that Longfellow wrote of the scenery with marvelous accuracy, and also that he named names of wonderfully beautiful, doubly to be marveled at if he had never had the advantage of a visit to the scene. This, however, is a digression. The drama, which has been annually acted since the visit of Longfellow's daughters, usually between July and September of each year, is performed on one of the Desharas islands in the St. Mary river, on the Canadian shore of Lake Huron. The spectators are seated on the shore, and, while most of the action of the piece takes place on a platform anchored in the river, the river and islands within a short distance are used. As a matter of fact, the "stage" is the largest upon which a play was ever performed, and the scenery and the actors are natural. Realists should find in the production all their hearts' desire. The production is managed with completeness regarding details, and the greatest care is taken to see that the character is borne in those by those best fitted for them. Although the actors are Indians, study of Catlin's designs was given, in order that the costumes should be accurate. In speaking, the Ojibway tongue was used, but so clever were the actors in pantomime that the action was closely followed with ease by the spectators, who were, of course, ignorant of the meaning of the guttural sounds emitted by the players. The music which accompanied the action was characteristic, harmonious and, at times, poetically weird and sentimental, and the choruses were impressive. The play opens most dramatically. Near a red pine tree a column of smoke ascends from a pile, of blazing branches as a signal to the Indian nations. In response to the pillar of smoke, scores of red faces appear on the surrounding helium. In the smoke of Giché Manito, the Great Spirit, "all the tribes of the land signal," and with shrill warhoeps the Indians pour from their hiding places and rush to the burning pyre. Then Giché Manito, stretching forth his right hand, speaks to the gathered group and bids them listen to his words of wisdom. The counsel of the Master of Life is potent, and the braves, who were spotted with war paint, throw off their deerskins, cast aside their weapons and jump into the water, easily removed from their bodies. This introduction ends with a dance of jubilation and smoking the pipe of peace. In the second tableau, a 'same from Hiawatha's childhood is depicted. The youth makes a display of arrow shooting, in which he has been assiduously trained. As he shoots with bow and arrow, behind him stands the "wrinkled old Nokomis," who reared motherly children, grown to boyhood, Iagoo the booster, made a bow for the lad, and it Hiawatha throught low his first deer. The youngster who portrays the Hiawatha proved to be an excellent shot with such a archdice instru ments as a bow and arrow. The next scene shows Hiwattha to have come to manhood. He has returned from his initial journey and he has seen the dark-eyed maiden of the West. A second journey has been made across the Big-Sea toward the tent of the arrowmaker. The Indian lover is represented at the door of a baklava oven where sat the ancient man and arrowes. Minneahada had been thinking "of a hunter from another tribe and country, young and tall and very handsome." Would he come again for arrows? He suddenly appears from the woodlands, and the maiden, with true Indian hospitality, brought forth food and set before them. Hiawata lends a deaf ear to the teachings of old Nokomis, who advises the wedding of a maiden of his tribe. He wooes Minnehaha, which character was played with a native charm and modesty which fulfilled the exacting demands of the part. One of the most interesting and spectacular of the scenes is naturally that depicting the witch's scene there are various dances; the dance, which foretells a life of peace for the wedded pair; the snake dance, which is to appease the evil spirits, which is performed by Paw-Puk-Keewis; the gambling dance, in which the latter is also the chief figure. Following is a missionary scene. As the dances are being concluded, a birch-bark canoe appears from behind one of the islands, whereupon a score of Indians hurry to the shore to give the white missionaries the Hiawata witch to the white man's vision his vision having come true, and the departure of the hero is the fitting climax to the drama. With long strides Hiwataa passes down the sloping bank to the water's edge, where floats his wonderful canoe—for "all the forest's life was in it." He stands erect in the graceful craft, with paddle uplifted in one hand and the other bidding farewell to the warriors, the canoe sails away swiftly, mysteriously, without the aid of oar or paddle. His comrades on the shore break the dramatic stillness with their weird chants, fainter grows the song, and in reality the golden sunset is being usurped by the dusk, as it is in the poem; the play is done, and yet to have witnessed it leaves the sensation that it was not a play; it was either the legend come to life or a gentle vision. A Record Breaker. Three fellow travelers in the smoking room of a fast train were discussing the speed of trains. "I was in a train once," said the first man, "that beat everything I ever rode in for speed. Why, it went so fast that the telegraph poles at the side of the 'track looked like an immense fine toothed comb." "That's nothing," said the second traveler; "I remember riding in an express on the — the — went at a gait that the telegraph poles looked like a solid board fence." The third man made an exclamation of pain: "Ah, you fellows don't know what high speed on a rairoid is. Why, I traveled west from Chicago last month in a train that went at such a pace that when we passed some alternate fields of corn and beans they looked like succotash!" -Harper's Weekly. Getting Him to Work. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, the president of the Woman Suffrage Association, was citing diplomatic ways of making children work. "A Chicago woman," she said, "has a little boy who hates to practice writing. Last fall she told me that in this matter of writing she could do nothing with the lad. But in December, when I met her again, she said complacently: "Well, Harry spends quite two hours a day now at his writing regularly." "How in the world," said I, "did you bring this miracle to pass?" "The woman winked slightly." "I told him, she said, 'to make an offer,'" he said of everything he wanted for Christmas, and he has been at it ever since." Puzzles for Uncle Sam Puzzles for Uncle Sam It is supposed that captains of incoming vessels often play mean jokes on Uncle Sam-when they have any particularly worthless cur or other forecasteat pet that they want to get rid of. They might, of course, throw it overboard, but that would be missing a chance of giving the United States a lot of trouble. Instead of the simple way of disposing of the beast they enter the animal on their manifest and tag it as addressed to some person at some non-existent place. It is then taken in charge by the customs officials, and the nonexistent consignee notified. Of course he does not appear to claim his property, and the ex-mascot becomes perishable unclaimed merchandise, and as such becomes the subject of much official correspondence. The collector is notified that the merchandise must be sold, or it may deteriorate in value, and after all the forms are gone through it is advertised for sale. At the sale it may bring the price of the postage stamps that would have been wasted on it, if the treasury department mail were not franked, and then a bill is presented, a livly stable keeper, who has been bestowing on it for a month or two care and attention that many a dog show prize-winner never receives.

Ford of the China Inland Mission at Tai-kang, in the central province of Honan, in a letter to her family, has some amusing things to tell about the establishment of the Chinese Imperial Post in the province, which is some weeks journey from the coast. She says: "We have got the Chinese Imperial Post, at Kafeng, when they first got it, the office post clerks had a fight with some men who bought stamps and wanted the clerks to lick them and put them on the letters for them. They said the clerks were there to lick the stamps, and paid for the business, and they wouldn't lick them. But the clerks wouldn't agree to lick them, so they came to blows and the police had to come in and separate them." Tai-kang, the man who has got the post office has begun went.

As I had never been outside of Sydney Heads before I determined to guard against my accidents by providing myself with a degree of seasickness. I deed upon petroleum, 2x trituration, in 2grain powders. When the vessel got outside the heads the fun commenced. I began to feel a bit queer, and a peculiar nausea began to steal over me.

Twenty years ago, the state of financial journalism—not merely the purely financial press, but also that portion of the daily press devoted to finance—was not extremely good. Such journalism was marked by much ignorance with, unfortunately, with unfortunately dishonesty. Apart from this, the theory upon which it was mainly based was not the. The people who "made" most of the financial news seemed to think that they were entitled to control, in large measure, its publication, both as to matter, time, and manner.

A story is told of the decision by the supreme court of a case which involved the question of whether a certain article was a sauce or fish, the rates on which were widely different. The judges not agree, and one night the chief justice took one of the sample bottles home to his wife. "Of course that's sauce," she said, and sauce it was decided to be, much to the benefit of the importers. Some of the most puzzling matters which come before the appraisers and the courts are caused by the importation of strange articles of food for the use of foreign-horn members of Uncle Sam's large family. Just now the courts are wrestling with the question of how sake, the favorite alcoholic drink of Japan, should be classified. Large quantities of it are imported at Honolulu for the use of the Japanese laborers there. The question is whether it should pay duty as a wine or a beverage to the testimony of both. In order that the legal talent could be obtained to argue the case, without making it necessary for the lawyers to go all the way to Honolulu, an importation was arranged at New York, and the case will be fought out in the courts. key and get the stamp box open, and when he gave it to the man he said in a very decided wey: 'Now lick it and put it just there.'

There was a letter from the Kaifeng Post Office one day because an address on a letter could not be found and the letter was brought back. "The sender wanted his money back because the letter had not been delivered, but the clerk refused to give it to him, contending that they had more trouble over it than if it had been delivered.

It is intimated that the made Secretary of Agriculture and to satisfy the East, the Solid South the naming of David Bennett Hill as Secretary of Commerce and Labor. The Maryland Jim Crow car law is not working out just as its Democratic authors intended. They imagined that they could enforce its infamous provisions not only on Maryland way passengers but on inter-state passengers as well. Intelligent Afro-Americans from other states traveling in Maryland have refused to go into the pew provided for the race and have insisted upon their rights to such purpose that the railroads have issued orders to conductors to allow colored passengers to sit in any car on through trains. The separation of the races is continued on accommodation trains. The indignities to which the Afro-American people have been subjected will be wiped away when the Republicans rule the state. The union bricklayers, who have been on a strike at the War College at Washington, have given up the contest and admit that they are beaten. Most of the men now engaged are Afro-Americans who talk less and lay more brick than their striking predecessors. Should there be any vacancies the government officers will fill them with eligibles from the civil lists, whether the applicants are members of the union or not and without regard to color. This is civil service as interpreted by the Roosevelt administration. There were more than 15,000 Afro-American private soldiers in the Spanish-American war. They served under Afro-American officers commissioned by a Republican President—William McKinley. A vote for Roosevelt is a vote to sustain the principles of human liberty for which he stands. The election of Roosevelt and Fairbanks means continued prosperity for all the people. The Afro-American has everything to gain by the triumph of the Republican party—the party which stands for freedom and human rights. The election of Parker can bring no possible good to the Afro-American. Better let well enough alone and vote for Roosevelt.

To the National Business League Meeting at Indianapolis, Ind., August 31, September 1 and 2, The fifth annual meeting of the National Business League will take place at Indianapolis, Ind., August 31—September 2, 1904. The Central Passenger Association has granted a rate of $10 per ticket on a trip on the certificate plan. Tickets at full fare for the going journey may be secured at any coupon ticket office in three days (exclusive of Sundays) prior to and during the first day of the tour. If you have a ticket your ticket you request a certificate. If there are not less than 100 persons holding certificates in attendance, and your certificate has been duly validated by the joint agent of the rally agent of the National Business League will be entitled up to September 6, to a continuous passage ticket to your destination by the route over which you made the going journey, at one point in the tour. The joint agent will charge a fee of 25 cents for validating each ticket. An extension of the return limit of thirty days, for the purpose of visiting the World's Fair at St. Louis or any other point, will be obtained by depositing validated certificates with agents of Indianapolis terminal lines on or before September 6, 1904. It is urged that leagues arrange for special Pullman or reclining chair cars. This will insure comfort and enable delegates from the South to avoid the "Jim Crow" car. A number of delegations are arranging details for special training, and delegations from other places, to join them en route or arrange similarly.

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. Mrs. Fred Freeman and son Reginaid have gone to Cincinnati, where they will be the guest of Mrs. Sarah Saunders Monroe. The National Colored Personal Liberty League coeducated the联合会 of Roosevelt and Fairbanks at Coliseum park last Tuesday evening. Cards are out announcing the marriage of William Parker Hare of Boston to Miss Maude Estelle Cuney, which occurred August the following. Mrs. Hare will be remembered in 10th Chicago as Mrs. Dr. McKinley. Washington, D. C., Aug. 18—The order recently issued by the assistant secretary of the interior abolishing the office of second assistant surgeon at the hospital has been rescinded. Although the office which pays a salary of $1,000 per year, has not been filled. The Misses Nora Roberts, Etta Lewis, Irene Poe, and Jessie Kenne, of Indianapolis, spent several very pleasant days in our city and while here received marked social attention, being the guests of the Farecoles Tuesday evening, Mrs. Chas. E. Hall's dinner party Wednesday evening and Miss Mattie Brown's "at home" Thursday. Among those attending the G. A. encampment in Boston are Messes Helen Johnson, Phil and Lloyd Cuney, Richard Gates, Wm. A. Joiner, Wm. Pollard, Wm. Wells and J. A. Cobb, and Medames John F. Smyth, Phillip Shippen and Richard Gates; the Misses Helen Johnson, Virgile Ross, Anna Laura Charity and Hattie McIntosh. According to a letter received in this city some days ago from Mr. Charles La Fon, who has recently been more or less active in an attempt to organize Afro-American organizations in diana, he is to succeed Minister Powell in Haiti or be appointed consul general to Abyssinia in the event of Republican success. If La Fon thinks he can ride to fame and glory upon the backs of Illinois Afro-American leaders, he will take him seriously when we know that the national committee is not handing out any pre-election jobs. A number of prominent young men of Washington gave a banquet last Tuesday night in Odd Fellows' Hall in honor of Harry S. Cummings, the Baltimore lawyer who made one of the first decisions in seconding the nomination of Mr. Roosevelt. Among those who responded to toasts were the following: Dr. Robert Reyburn, national committee from the District; former Rep. representative George H. White, Judson C. H. White; former John C. Dancey, recorder of deeds; Judge E. M. Hewlett, and Dr. James R. Wilder. A meeting of welcome to the delegates to the Right Worthy Grand Council, Independent Order of St. Luke, was held at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, M street, between Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets northwest, on Tuesday evening, at 8 o'clock. Addresses were made by Commissioner McFarland, Rev. Geo. W. Lee, Rev. O. J. W. Scott, Mr. Lewis, Rev. J. W. Dilkes of Columbia; Ms. Jacob F. Wright, Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, president of St. Luke bank, Richmond, Rev. Z. D. Lewis, of Richmond, and other distinguished men and women from all parts of the country. My old friend Alex Ross, or rather President James A. Ross, of the "National Afro-American Democratic League," has received a letter from Judge Parker in reply to a congratulatory communication from the league. We observe that Mr. Parker has given his views on the "Negro question." We know that new northern Democratic politicians who have the nerve to express their convictions on this subject. Finance and kindred subjects can be discussed infinitum but the 3,000,000 Afro-American voters of the country will be in ignorance as to whether he will open door of hope or the Jim Crow peonage system, the wholesale lynchings and the disenfranchisement of American citizens in the South. The Judge had a splendid opportunity to give his views in the Ross letter, but he did not seem to grasp the situation like he did when the famous telegram to St. Louis financial question was to St. Louis. The judge cannot escape and President James Ross would do well to suggest the matter in order to avoid possible embarrassment. A. reception of welcome to Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, whose success socially and intellectually while attending the international congress of women at Berlin, Germany, is regardable for her race, was tendered August 10th, 1914, to tenant A. M. E. Church by a committee of one hundred citizens. Mrs. Terrell is a Washington woman and was at one time member of the board of education. She is a graduate of Oberlin and the degrees of A. B. and A. M. The teacher hearty in every respect. The church was well filled with the most prominent Afro-Americans of the city. The pastors of a number of churches occupied seats on the platform. The Sterling N. Brown, D. J. R. Wilder, D. D. Decy, Miss Maria L. Jordon, Rev. O. J. W Scott, and Terrell. Music was furnished during the evening by the invincible Orchestra, Edward Ambleer, leader. In response to the teachings of welcome and congratulation of welcome, she took her experiences in Europe. When she stepped forward on the platform she was warmly greeted. She mentioned the fact that she was the only representative of the African race there, the courtesy extended her was equal to the courtesy extended any other woman. She was entertaining home of one of the prominent families of Berlin. Mrs. Terrell went on to say that Europeans could not understand the prejudice against the colored race in America, because in I cannot consent to take the position that the door of hope—the door of opportunity—is to be shut upon any man, no matter how worthy, purely upon the grounds of race or color.— the old world it is entirely absent, and no objects are thrown in the way of high attainments of colored per- son. CALL FOR MEETNG Of National Afro-American Council, at St. Louis, Sept. 6, 7, 8, 1994. To the members of the National Afro-American Council, Estates from Local Councils and Legislated Organizations, Benevolent Societies, Newspapers and other Race Organizations. GREETING: The Seventh Annual Session of the National Afro-American Council will be held in Music Hall, 100 E. 10th street, St. Louis, Mo., Sept. 6, 7, and 8, 1994. The Necessity for the Meeting. In view of the legislation against us as a nation, we must respect our rights, but against our suffrage, we should question the necessity for an organization of this character, and every Afro-American, without regard to his views on other subjects, should be encouraged to improve these conditions. The hostility upon the part of the enemies of the race has been so persistent that many of our friends have become tilted and inertive in our efforts to combat the war of combating this opposition of our enemies, strengthening the hands of our friends and working for the absolute undoing of all discriminations against the race, the race of the people, and ask the hearty cooperation of every Afro-American who is interested in the welfare of his race. Basis of Membership. Section III of Constitution. Section I. The Afro-American Council shall be composed of members as follows: 1st—All who hold life membership. 2nd—All who hold Delegates, representing auly accredited Local Council. 3d—Affiliated Deloittez, representing organizations of similar plans and purposes co-operating with Afro-American Council. Sec. 2. Every Local Afro-American Council shall be entitled to representation in the National Council by delegates elected on a basis of one delegate to every fifty (50) members, said delegates to the National Council and payment of credentials and payment of ten cents for each member so represented. Provided, however, that any Local Council having less than fifty (50) members shall be entitled to one vote, upon presentation of credentials and payment of ten cents for each member. Sec. 3. Religions and secular organizations which have for their aim and work the mental and moral elevation of the race, and which desire to cooperate with the National Council, may be represented by affiliated delegates, and work the mental and moral elevation of the organization. Said delegates shall have the right to vote upon payment of $5.00 for each delegate. Sec. 4. Editors of Afro-American newspapers and Principals of Academic Schools and Colleges, may be admitted to the National Council and be entitled to a vote upon presentation of credentials and payment of the annual tax of $5.00. A Truely Representative Body. From the above it will be seen that the Council is a representative body. The mere payment of $5 does not entitle one to membership. Every delegate must bring written credentials certifying that he is the representative of a local council or affiliated organization, the editor of an Afro-American newspaper or an academic school or college. Disfranchisement Paramount Question. While many other questions relative to the rights of the race will be considered, it has been decided that Disfranchisement should be the topic for discussion. This question, which is of such great importance at this time, will be considered from every view point by some of the greatest thinkers of the race. Speeches Must be Short and to the Point. By the action of the National Afro-American Council, each speaker is limited to twenty minutes, and in view of the fact that a portion of the Caesanian press of the country is ever ready to speak, the African Americans, all speeches must be in manuscript, in order that there may be absolute proof of just what each speaker said. Reduced Rates on Railroads. During attending the National Afro-American Council will have the benefit of the lowest rates by buying round trip tickets to the World's Fair at St. Louis, which are on sale at the National Railroad States. In many cases the short limit tickets are sold for less than one fare for the round trip and in every case the rate is less than the usual rate. In all cases the date of this kind. Remember the date of the meeting is September 6, 7, and 8. It is our earnest desire that every Church, College, Benevolent Society, and other Race Organization send representatives, accompanied by the annual tax of $5.00, to this great nation gathering. We have every reason to believe that the St. Louis meeting will be the largest ever held in the history of the organization. Let all the organizations above named elect their delegates as soon as possible and send their names to Cyrus Field Adams, Secretary, 834 S Street, N. W., Washington. The delegates of St. Louis are preparing to entertain the Council in first-class style and the trip promises to be a delightful one. [Signed.] William H. Steward, Acting President, Alexander Ch. Executive Committee. Cyrus Field Adams, General Secretary. Spiders Are Deserving of More Consideration. Then They Receive. The Ease of Kites Kites are destined to play a part in sport. They have been a great success as a means to stop partridges rising and flying from cover where it is wished to keep them for shooting—the birds will not rise when kites are above their heads, fearing, doubtless, attack. And now the kite has been used for fishing. The credit of discovering the possibilities of air line fishing is great. The great kite expert and manufacturer. The advantage of fishing from a kite is that the fisherman may stand on the shore whilst his bait is dropped far out at sea; also that tildish fish are not scared by seeing fishing rods or boats when the air-line is used. For kite fishing strong kites are flown, the string carrying a small pulley, through which the fish line runs, one end of the fish line is held by the fisherman on shore, the other, which is weighted, drops from the pulley as the ascent is made, and dips into the water, where it is caught with a fish snaps at the bait and is hooked the fisherman feels the pull on his line, the kite is quickly hauled in, and the fish is dragged in at the same time. Mr. Horsman has caught many a fine sea fish in this way. Free Lunches in Saloons. Various young people's Christian organizations connected with churches of Philadelphia filed a petition in the Quarter Sessions court recently requesting the judges of the License court to put an end to the free lunches in saloons. According to the petitioners the free lunch business is growing and is becoming a great cause of drunkenness. The petitioners attach to the petition a ruling of the Berks County court made on March 28, 1900, that the court should be unlawful. Under the decision lunches furnished for a nominal sum are free lunches, but "pretzels, crackers, and bits of cheese, set out upon the bar, or served to customers with drinks, do not constitute a lunch." ROOSEVELT EPIGRAMS Sentences Selected from President's Speech Accepting Nomination. The humbleest individual is to have his rights safeguarded as scrupulously as those of the strongest organization. Each is to receive justice; no more, and no less. There is nothing experimental about the government we ask the people to continue in power. We know our own minds. We have kept of the same mind a sufficient length of time to give our policy coherence and sanity. We have shown in fact that our policy is to do justice to all man, paying no heed to whether a man is rich or poor, or to his race, creed or birthplace. We know what we mean when we speak of an honest and stable currency. We mean the same thing from year to year. We are striving to do our work in the spirit with which Lincoln approached his.

These Jaws have all the wonderful agility and strength which characterizes the people and which has played important a part in their success in the present war. At the fair they will perform a great number of feats of strength and will appear both afternoon and evenings on the stage in front of the grand stand. Another star attraction might be called Dode Fisk's Company of Educated Quadrupeds.

A comedy mule, a "high school" horse and Mike Rooney, the famous circus rider, are other features of Fisk's aggregation. HOWARD'S SHOE POLISH. A.C.
