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. 35 Rule of the Incas The government of the Inca is said to have been the most enlightened despotism that ever existed and about the nearest approach to a Utopia which has yet been reached by any people, says the Scientific American. There was allotted to each man free of charge a dwelling site and an extended area of land for him to till and cultivate for the maintenance of his family. The surplus of products from this tract, left over from the immediate needs of the owner, was given as a tribute to the Inca government, and used for religious, charitable and other purposes at their sovereign city of Cuzco. Under their wise and just civil administration, crime and corruption and theft were not known. In Cuzco it is stated that a resident with 100 bars of silver and gold piled up in his house, left it wide open, only placing a small stick across the door as a sign that the master was out—and nobody went in. Agriculture was a chief pursuit followed. Cotton, beans, maize and cocoa were raised by the coast people. On the plateau the domestication of the llama and alpaca was the favorite occupation. The whole tribe was divided into numerous clans. The powers of administration centered in the elective dignitaries, a military leader and the head of the religious system. There was also a council of chiefs. None of these offices was hereditary and could not be occupied by sons unless they Monument to a Lie A correspondent of the Straits Budget of the Straits Settlement says: "While other nations build monuments to the memory of men who have done great and noble deeds, the Dyaks heap up a pile of the branches of trees in memory of the man who has uttered a great lie, so that future generations may know of his wickedness and take warning from it. "The persons deceived start the tugong bula by heaping up a large number of branches in some conspicuous spot by the side of the main road. Every passerby contributes to it and at the same time curses the man in memory of whom it is. "The Dyaks consider the adding to any tugong bula they may pass a sacred duty, the omission of which will meet with supernatural punishment, and so, however pressed for time a Dyak may be, he stops to throw on the pile some branches or twigs. "This custom dates from very ancient times. It is interesting to notice that though the ethics of the Draks, even at the present day, do not agree in many points with the moral code of other and more ad- In a Russian Village A traveler in Russia writes: "The outward aspect of a Russian village is not attractive, and there is little choice in the surrounding country between a wide gray plain with a distance of scrubby pine forest, or the scrubby pine forest with distant gray plains. The peasants' houses are scattered up and down without any order or arrangement, and with no roads between, built of trunks of trees, unsquared and mortised in each other at the corners, the interstices filled with moss and mud, a mode of building warmer than it sounds. In the interior there is always an enormous brick stove, five or six feet high, on which and on the floor the whole family sleep in their rags. The heat and the stench are frightful. No, one undresses, washing is unknown and sheepskin pelisses with the wool inside are not conducive to cleanliness. "Russian stoves are, in fact, thick, hollow party walls, built of brick, and sometimes separating or connecting as many as three or four rooms, and heating them all from one common center. The outer sides of these lofty intramural furnaces are usually faced Geniuses in the Home Should geniuses marry? For sure!

As he lits a soft lay in cadence so gay "Great. Scott! but these joints are light." were especially chosen for the position. The succession of the chief Inca did not fall upon the shoulders of his child. This was due to the clan organization, which governed the affairs of state. A man could not marry a woman of his own clan, but had to select one from another. This was the main unit for holding the tribe together. Woman had no choice in public affairs, but ruled supreme in the home. She was admitted to esoteric societies, of which there were many. They also practiced healing and became priestesses. Many complicated and elaborate ceremonial and religious rites were observed and feasts and offerings of some kind were of almost daily occurrence, and the preparation for the observance of these occupied a great deal of the time of the people. Contrary to statements hitherto made, the sun was not the chief object of worship, but the moon, stars, thunder, lightning and natural objects and phenomena were included in the religious code. In Cuzco some forty different shrines existed. What height Inca culture might have reached had it been allowed to follow a natural course of development is one of conjecture and speculation. Judging from their cyclopean architectural remains and from the splendid examples of their technique, which is so strikingly displayed in the specimens obtained, it seems most likely that they would have kept abreast of the ancient Mexicans. vanced races, still from the earliest ages the Dyaks seem to have agreed in considering a lie a most disgraceful crime, and a liar a man who deserves the curses not only of his own generation, but also of people yet unborn. "A few small branches, a few dry twigs and leaves—that is what the tugong bula is at first. But day by day it increases in size. Every passerby adds something to it, and in a few years' time it becomes a large and imposing monument raised to the memory of one who was a liar. "It has often been remarked by Dyaks that any other punishment would, if a man had his choice, be much preferred to having a tugong bula up in his memory. Other punishments are soon forgotten, but a tugong remains as a testimony to a man's untruthfulness for succeeding generations to witness, and is a standing disgrace to his children's children. "Believing, as the Dyaks do, in the efficacy of curses—a curse among them being a finable offense—it is easy to understand how a Dyak would dread the accumulation of curses which would necessarily accompany the formation of a tugong bula." with a kind of white porcelain, though in some houses they are papered like the rest of the wall, so that the presence of the stove is known in summer only by two or three apertures like port holes, which have been made for the purpose of admitting the hot air. Sometimes, especially in country houses, the house, or pelchka as it is called, is not only a wall, but a wall which, toward the bottom, projects so as to form a kind of dresser or sofa, and which the lazier of the inmates use not infrequently in the latter capacity. "When a stove is being heated the portholes are kept carefully shut, to prevent the egress of carbonic-acid gas. But after the wood has become thoroughly charred and every vestige of flame has disappeared the chimney is closed on a level with the garret floor, the covers are removed from the apertures in the side of the stove and the hot air is allowed to penetrate freely into the room; which, if enough wood has been put into the pitchka, and the lid of the chimney closes hermetically, will, by this one fire, be kept warm for twelve or fourteen hours."

THE APPEAL. The "Spooks" of Hull and Nantasker From the days of pirates and witches Hull was free from ghosts until 1898, says the Boston Post. In the early part of that winter the Point Alerton lifesavers, putting out for a practice row, one evening, saw a horse and buggy drive along the rough beach and out into the water. The gun was brought out and fired over the practice mast, which is a 75-foot pole with a crossyard near the top. The line was caught and made fast to the mast by John James, nephew of the captain. The lines were hauled tight by means of a tackle and James stepped into the it was a woman in black, weepie and walking along Stony Beach. The life savers, who had been joked over the horse and buggy, reed to go near that part of the beast or to discuss the matter, except to a mit that they were glad she kept away from the station. Horse and carriage seemed to pass along the tossing surface of the water for a time, as if supported by a coat of ice. Then they slowly sank into the water and were gone. Everyone in the lifeboat saw the apparition and old Capt. Joshua James, now dead, steered the boat's bow around and his crew pulled with might and main for the spot where the carriage had been. The vehicle had passed between the crew and the full moon and was clearly seen. A woman was discerned, lashing the animal with a whip and leaning over the dashboard. She stood THE WORLD IS A WATERY PLACE. THE WORLD IS A WATERY PLACE. Wrecked in November Oates up as the carriage settled. Though they knew something was wrong and that no such thing as they had seen could possibly have happened, the crew dashed to the spot and found nothing. They dragged all night, and with lanterns scanned the beach for wheel-tracks in vain. When daylight came a sheer, dainty, black-bordered, woman's handkerchief was found on the shore. For a few days the lifesavers were joked about "seeing things." That winter came as usual the November gale, although more severe, which piled wrecks high on the shores of Hull and Nantasket, as well as all New England. The lifesavers had more than they could handle and volunteers were taken from the townsfolk. In taking off the crew of the three masted coaster Edward W. Perry the breeches buoy failed to work well, and as soon as the storm went down breeches buoy practice was ordered. Alabaman's First Introduction to the Stars and Stripes. A man was discovered in Coosa county, Alabama, last winter who had never seen the American flag. What is more, he had not the least perception of what it meant and was much astonished when this was explained to him. The incident happened in the longleaf pine country in which the Kaul Lumber company is operating, near the little backwoods town of Junatila. A party of government foresters, under Franklin W. Reed, was encamped in the woods beside the road. A large flag tied to a_sapling pine announced the site as a government camp. One evening a little old man came down the road driving a yoke of steers and stopped to inquire whether the party would like to buy some pork. He got out of his cart, sat down on a stump and after a moment's conversation his eye caught sight of the flag on the sapling. He looked at it in a puzzled way, then asked what it was. The men thought at first he was joking, but it was soon apparent the question was in good faith. "That's the American flag, man. Haven't you ever seen the flag befor- No, he had never seen a flag of any kind before. He had heard there were such things, and once he had seen a picture of a flag on a poster, but that was a long time ago, and he had almost forgotten it. He had lived in the woods all his life and had never been more than 13 miles from home. He wanted to know what the flag meant, and listened in silence when this was explained to him. He did not know how to read or write, and had never heard that the Fourth of July was any different from any other day. Defective Page up as the carriage settled. The gun was brought out and fired over the practice mast, which is a 75-foot pole with a crossyard near the top. The line was caught and made fast to the mast by John James, nephew of the captain. The lines were hauled tight by means of a tackle and James stepped into the breeches buoy. As he did so the mast broke at its base and fell on the beach with James beneath it. He was nursed back to life, but as a cripple, and discharged from the service. Though a young man, his hair is almost white from the shock. The life crew somehow began to look upon the carriage specter as having been an ill omen. Several winters later, at the very same point on the beach where the carriage had entered the water, Capt. James fell dead beside his life boat. Doesn't all this prove something? wrecked in November Gales at drove Mantosfel's Big Confagro bion Stony Beach's Lonely say the disaster, prophets. Why did that carriage woman appear to the life savers? They don't care to see anything like it again. Spook Story Number 2.

Waiter Duly Labeled as Belonging to Famous College. Philip King, formerly of the Princeton eleven, relates how while a crowd of Harvard boys was celebrating the result of a game with Pennsylvania some years ago one Cambridge man was much taken with the white waistcoat worn by a waiter in a Boston cafe. The Harvard man called the waiter to him, saying: "I want to buy that waistcoat!" "Why, what do you want it for?" asked the astonished waiter. "Never mind what I want it for," continued the Harvard man. "What will you take for the waistcoat?" After some spirited bargaining on both sides the waiter consented to accept five dollars in payment for the garment. Whereupon the Harvard man shouted "Done!" and gave the waiter the sum mentioned. "And when do you want it, sir?" asked the waiter. "Oh," replied the collegian, "I don't want you to give the waistcoat to me—not at all! I merely wanted to feel that I owned it." At this the waiter bowed and was about to walk away when the Harvard man called him back. "Don't be in a hurry," he said. "There is something else." Whereupon, motioning the waiter to draw nearer, the Harvard man took a piece of celery, dipped it into the cranberry sance and proceeded to mark a big "H" on the middle of the front of the white waistcoat that he felt was his own! Bank of France Dividend. The Bank of France has paid as dividend for the first six months of the year 67 francs 70 centimes gross, and 65 francs net, the same as distributed in the first half of 1903. Stony Beach's Lonely It was a woman in black, weeping and walking along Stony Beach. The life savers, who had been joked over the horse and buggy, refused to go near that part of the beach or to discuss the matter, except to admit that they were glad she kept away from the station. She was an eminently respectable "spook" and modestly kept her troubles and herself from the curious. Many people saw her for three evenings in succession. They said she wore a widow's veil and walked from the eastern end of the beach to a great rock and disappeared. She walked rather rapidly and held a handkerchief in front of her face. Some of the bolder spectators spoke to her or stood in her path and were rewarded by seeing her suddenly vanish. The woman was said to often turn her face toward the sparkling lights of the Nantasket hotels across the water. The fourth night after her first appearance came the fire. Since then the talk of ghosts and omens has been rife in Hull. Those who had boasted of trying to pick up the "ghost lady" were looked upon with disfavor for offending "a spirit." "The idea of trying to flirt with a being from another world," they said. "They ought to have had a better bringing up." "Of course, she was offended." Nantasfet's Big Conflagra 6107 And all vowed that the next "spook" should be treated with consideration. If it cared for privacy it should have it. If it wanted a good time why there were those who knew how to give it one. If it preferred to walk the beach and weep or drive out on the water it certainly should do so and no mashers or lifeboats should "but in." DARKY AND THE "DOUGH." Colored Croesus Was Astonished at the Size of His Pile. "There was a darky living in Eufala," says Representative Clayton of Alabama, "who was so fortunate as to net the sum of $4,000 by reason of the sale of some property that had been left him. Payment was made by certified check, which the Eufala man immediately presented at the local bank, saying that he would like to 'have cash.' "The teller suggested that the wiser plan would be to deposit the check and he added that the bank would pay 3 per cent thereon; but the darky was obstinate and demanded the cash. "Without further argument the teller asked the colored man how he would have it, remarking at the same time that as the amount was a large one he supposed the darky would take it in fifteens or in hundreds. "Deed, I doan' want no fifty or no hundred dollar bills', exclaimed the colored man indignantly. 'How's I gunner git itm changed? (No, sah, I wants mah money in five-dollar bills!' "Whereupon the teller piled up eight packages of five-dollar bills in front of the darky, whose eyes began to shine with astonishment. "What's all dat, boss?' queried he. "That represents $4,000,' replied the teller. "Shh! you doan' tell me!' exclaimed the negro. Then after a moment's pause he added: "All dat heh! Well, boss, jist gimme three dollars of dat ter blow myself wif an' keep de rest till I calls for it!"" Residents of Quebec.

New Story of Forrest Edwin Forrest, the tragedian, was well acquainted with a German lion-tamer, Herr Driesbach, and one evening the two were sitting together in a restaurant, conversing upon the subject of fear. Of course any one would be willing to admit that a man who could go alone into a cage of wild beasts was not a person who would be likely to be frightened by anything, but the tragedian insisted that there were people in the more peaceful walks of life who had as little fear in their composition as any lion-tamer. As a proof of this, Mr. Forrest ascerted that never in his life had he known what it was to be afraid of anything. No doubt of the truth of this statement was expressed by Herr Driesbach, and after some further conversation he proposed that the tragedian should accompany him to his home. When they entered the house a gasjet was burning low in the hall, and having closed the front door, Herr Driesbach put up his hand to turn on more light; but, apparently by accident, he put it out, so that the two men were left standing in absolute darkness. Exclaiming at his stupidity, the master of the house declared that he had no matches about him, and asked Mr Forrrest if he could give him one. But the tragedian never carried matches, as his companion probably knew, and Driesbach asked him to wait where he was for a few moments while he made his way to the back of the house to procure some. Left to himself, Forrest stood per- Too Hot for Too Hot for Tenderfoot From time immemorial the bath tub has been an honorable institution in Japan. Instead of a cold dip in the morning, the Japs take their baths hot in the afternoon, at about 5 o'clock, and, beginning at 100 degrees, the tendency is to raise the temperature as one becomes acclimatized, so to speak. One traveler tells of the Kawarayu bathers, who stay in the tub for several weeks at a time with stone in their laps to keep their bodies from floating while they are asleep. The usual thing is to have the tub on the lawn with a charcoal fire beneath it, so that one can get into the water at 80 degrees and sit in it until it reaches 100 degrees. At this point a "grifff", which is to say a newchum, a greenhorn, or a tenderfoot, usually has to get out, for it becomes literally too hot for him. But, after a year or two-of-practice, he can manage 115 or 120 degrees. The Japs themselves can enjoy a bath even at 128 degrees. Call of the City Why was it.

The Boss W The Boss Was Suspicious Tommy has just obtained his first position as office boy. His salary was not large, but his hopes were. He expected to learn the business, and lives of great men all reminded him that he might do great things. A friend of his met him about a week after he had entered upon his new duties. "How do you like the job?" inquired his friend. "Oh, I dunno," said Tommy, doubtfully. "Is the work hard?" "No, the work ain't so hard and the hours ain't so long, but—say, the measly old cuss I walk for makes me tired." "What's the matter with him?" "He's so blamed suspicious. Why, if I git him a bill busted, he'll count the change, just as if I'd take any of his measly old money." When Poisoned by ivy.

On the bare floor he heard the muffled taps of heavy paws. He perceived the odor of the breath of beasts. He knew that he was standing there in the dark surrounded by lions, moving freely about him, and sniffing and smelling at him to find out whether they knew him or not. The blood ran cold in the veins of the tragedian, but he did not move, he did not call out. As if he had been a statue of a man he remained motionless, feeling that if he showed the slightest sign of fear the beasts would be upon him. Presently—it seemed many, many minutes to Forrest—Driesbach appeared with a match. The gas was lighted, and the pale tragedian saw near him three or four large performing lions who had been quietly liberated from an adolling room. "You are a brave man!" exclaimed the lion-tamer. "You have proved you have no fear." The reply of Forrest cannot be set down here, but he speedily left that house and never entered it again. The friendship between the two men was at an end. Such an unwarrantable test of courage could not be forgotten.—Montreal Herald. A traveler tells an amusing tale of how he visited a Japanese friend on at home day and accepted the offer of a bath on the lawn. He go' in when the water was tepid and enjoyed it immensely up to ninety something. Just as he was thinking of getting out his friend's wife and daughter put in an appearance and began to wash rice at a well near by. Now the regulation bathing dress of Japan is like a footless stocking without a leg, or a bunghole without a barrel around it, and our traveler hadn't it with him at the time. He endured another five degrees and then, with death by bollering staring him in the face, he was forced out with an involuntary yell that attracted much attention. The fact is that in Japan everybody baths in puris naturalibus.

To the members of the National Afro-American Council, Delegates from Local Councils and Affiliated Organizations, such as Churches, Colleges, Benevolent Societies, Newspapers and other Race Organizations. GREETING: The Seventh Annual Session of the National Afro-American Council will be held in Halifax Hall, Olive and Fourth Streets, St. Louis, Mo, Sept. 6, 7 and 8, 1994. The Necessity for the Meeting. In view of the legislation against us as citizens, not only against our civil rights, but against our suffrage, no one should question the necessity for an organization of this character, and evince a desire to be involved in his view on other subjects, should be willing to unite in an organized effort 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 timid and indifferent in our defense. It is with the view of combating this opposition of our enemies, strengthening the hands of our friends and the ability to handle all of the discriminations against the race, that this meeting is to be held, and we ask the hearty co-operation of every Afro-American who is interested in the welfare of his race. Basis of Membership. Article III of Constitution. Section 1. The Afro-American Council shall be composed of members as follows: Ist—All persons who hold life membership. 2d—Council Delegates, representing duly accredited Local Councils. 3d—Affiliated Delegates, 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 to every fifth (50) members, said delegates to qualify upon presentation 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 $5.00. Sec. 3. Religious 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, not more than two delegates to each 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 membership in the National Council and be entitled to a vote upon membership of the Council and payment of the annual tax of $5.00. A **Truly Representative Body.** From the above it will be seen that the National Afro-American Council is a representative body. The mere payment of $5 does not entitle one to receive certificates or written credentials certifying that he is the representative of a local council or affiliated organization, the editor of an Afro-American newspaper or the principal of 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 is to be the paramount topic for discussion. This question, however, will be considered, 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 Afr-Oriental Council, a speaker is limited to twenty minutes, and in view of the fact that a portion of the Caucasian press of the country is ever ready to misrepresent the words of Afr-Oriental, all speeches must be in manuscript, in order that there may be proof of just what each speaker said. Reduced Rates on Railroads. Delegates attending the National-Amrican Council on Education rates the buy-round trip tickets to the World's Fair at St. Louis, which are on sale at every ticket office in the United 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 average rate of railroads to meetings 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 great national 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 to form a Corman Adams Secretary, 834 S. Street, N.W., Washington, D. C. The citizens 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 Walters, Ch. Executive Committee. Cyrus Field Adams, General Secretary. REDUCED RAILROAD RATES. 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 a fare and a third for the bus and car fare. The 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 meeting. Be sure when purchasing your ticket you request a certificate. Holding certificates in attendance and your certificate has been duly validated by the joint agent of the railroads and the transportation agent of the National Business League, you will be entitled up to September 6, to a continuous passage ticket to your destination. You made the going journey, at one third the limited fare. The joint agent will charge a fee of 25 cents for THE APPEAL A NATIONAL AFFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER 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, may be obtained by depositing validated certificates with agents of Indianopolitical Central 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 delegations for special transportation, and delegations from other places are urged to join them en route by arrange similarly. In order that the matter may be systematized Leagues which arrange for special cars should notify Cyrus Field Adams. Transportation Agent, 954 S. Street, N.W.

Maine Man' Rears Animals in Order to Study Variation After eight years of experimenting and study in rearing young foxes, Dr. Samuel Watson of Lincoln, Me., is of the opinion that the silver gray variety is the fox of the future, and that the common red breed is running out, to be replaced by the worthless cross foxes and the almost priceless gray ones. It has been his custom to catch the common red breed to keep them in easy confinement until they give birth to pups. As a rule a mother fox will produce seven young at a litter, of which two or three will be silver grays. Until the eyes of the pups are opened and they are able to run about the pen the mother treats all of her offspring alike giving them form and shape with a strict immortality. After that the mother instinct centers on the red pups and the grays have a hard struggle to live. The mother will not only deny food them, but also take pains to bite them without any apparent provocation. In course of any weeks the grays become emaciated and weak from lack of nourishment and care and need for food. In some cases the mother gets so disgusted with the young grays that she falls upon them and bites them to death by nipping them in the neck back of the ears. In the time he has been studying the habits of these animals Dr. Watson has kept more than 300 young foxes in custody, and though nearly 70 gray pups weege have succeeded in raising only six to maturity. While the experiments of Dr. Watson have not been conducted over a period long enough to arrive at accurate conclusions, it is his belief that the proportion of gray pups in an average litter is slowly growing. In every instance under his supervision he is more vigorous than the reds at the time of birth, and continue to hold the lead until their parents begin their peculiar method of weeding out undesirable progeny.—Chicago Journal. A RAZOR-BACK'S SENSE. One Case, at Least, In Which a Hog Was Not Stupid. But while dogs have been celebrated for semi-human intelligence, and cattle have been known to evince some practical understanding, it was a surprise to discover something like intelligence in an animal whose stupidity had given occasion for a proverb. Not long ago one of the razor-back bawning indigenous to the Statemate an essay on the fence of a place nearby. It had been the site of a sawmil, and the fence was built of waste boards remaining after the removal of the works. The boar commenced his attack at the end of the board part of the fence by swaying aside as far as possible without losing balance, and then hurling his bulk against the board as close as he could to the post. He had apparently decided that drawing out the nails would be the easier manner of entrance. The force of impact was really forming, and watchers were not sure of the fearful of his success. After several incesses/ful attempts, he desisted, but went grunting along the fence as if examining the quality of the lumber until a split plank was found. A sharp crack followed the throwing of himself against this. He returned to the charge again and again until the barrier was removed, with a satisfied grunt and a squeal of invitation to his numerous family, his long bristly snout appeared through the opening—Our Animal Friends. Mental Ability. Mental ability is, of course, in some sense, always inherited. But so mysterious and subtle are the laws of nature in this respect that it is impossible to speak with positiveness on the phenomena exhibited in the mental detachment of children. It is known that parents of great talent have stupid children, and that many of our ablest men come of parents who never exhibited great talent. It is not an uncommon thing for a child to exhibit talents far superior to those of either of its parents. The reason, doubtless, of that in the children the good parents of both parents are and the undesirable traits omitted. This subject, however, is enveloped in mystery, and will probably always elude the researches of man. More Cotton. Less Wool. The consumption of cotton cloth is increasing. Formerly the people of the United States used nine pounds of wool per capita annually. The substitution of cotton in the cheaper grades of cloth has reduced that average to six pounds a year, while the amount of cotton consumed per capita has risen to twenty-five pounds a year. The foreign countries from foreign countries, two-thirds of the cotton we grow is sent abroad. We do not even manufacture all the cotton goods we use. Our supply of fine goods still comes from Europe—Chicago Record-Herald. Little Mother's Sabbath Keeping Dolly is a firm believer in the creator, but she is also a most devoted mother to a family of six bisque kid and waxen babies. On Sunday morning 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.— nurse came name from church and found Dolly busily pressuring out a doll's dress with a toy fattion. Nurse fixed her charge with a stern, reproving eye. "This is Sunday," she said—just as if Dolly didn't know the dullest day of the seven. "You should not labor a day." "Zorah," Dolly added, a pink face and amused serenely. "God knows this little iron isn't hot," she said—Current Literature. A bronze statue of General Phil Keary, "the one-armed devil," as the existing nurse, but also the coming generation." He Saw It. From a school in the remote districts in the mountains of Kentucky, says the Boston Transcript, a little incident comes that illustrates the quaintness of the southern mountain folk. Seems the pupils were sixers in a game. One quietly caused for a week. "What is the reason?" asked the teacher. "Got some law business to do." "What have you got to do with law business?" "Lawing over a killing," was the laconic reply. "What have you got to do?" did I not see it, did you? "I allow it. I the feller they tried to kill." Unique Matrimonial Experience Mrs. John W. Waldren deserted her husband in Marion Ind., seven years ago, took her daughter with her, eloped with James McCoy, was married to him and went to Mexico. Waldren, who has been searching for the child since, recently located her at Monterey, and took her home. His former wife also returned, effected a reconciliation with Waldren, and then went to St. Louis, where she has applied for a divorce from her second husband. If the divorce is granted it is said she will remarry Waldren. Thumb Nail Identification A definite and authenticated case of thumb nail identification is reported from Paris, where a man charged with the murder of a dentist has given himself up because the authorities found that the imprint on a noisy thumb in the room where the murder was committed coincided with the markings made by his thumb. Of course Schefler was already listed as a criminal and the police were in possession of an imprint of his thumb. The Father of All Laws: An Irish porter who sometimes acts as guide was showing a party of visitors over the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court. A fine statue of the great Chinese philosopher and sage, Confucius, adorns the front of the building. "Who is represented here?" asked a pretty woman in the party, pointing to the statue. "That, madam," said the porter-guide, "that is the daddy of all laws, Mr. Confuse-Us." CHIP ON PARSON'S SHOULDER. Noted English Clergyman Always Re- fused to Be Bullied Rev. Forbes Phillips, better known to the reading public by his nom deplume of "Athol Forbes," has a very vivid and distinct personality. He is not in the remotest sense of the word a conventional cleric. A thorough bulldog to look at, very broad and thick set, with a tremendous head, a massive, clean shaven face and twinkling, humorous eyes, he is the picture of one of Lever's Irish priests. He is not popular among some of his brother parsons, whose composure he has a trick of attaching at times, while his demeanor is the higher power. He fluttered Episcopal devotees. He is a hero among the fisher-folk with whom his lot is cast, and when he comes to London is a prime favorite in his own bohemian literary set. If ever it were true that a house-to-house-going person makes a church-going-people, it is true in the case of the vicar of Gorleston, whose church—a very large and beautiful building—is crammed from end to end every Sunday morning and evening. Mr. Phillips is a fine preacher, thoughtful, interesting ant, original, with a quiet penetrating voice and an impertable manner that makes him a hearers. "One pleasing little corner when he arrived at Gorleston," he once wrote to a friend of mine, "was to threaten the vicar with a horse-twicken when he offended any of the local big-wigs. I had not been long here before I fell into disgrace by finding fault with the management of a public institution. The chairman came up to me at a meeting and said, shaking his fist in my face: "Unless you at once withdraw your statement and give £5 to the institution of which I am head, I will give you a d—d good horse-twicken, I will repaint take his horse-twipping, and I will send you home in a cab I will apologize and give you £10 for your precious institution." This was precious quite new in the annals of Gorleston and horse-twishing is an institution in the parish has since died quite out of fashion." AIRY MUSLINS IN VOGUE. This is a muslin-clad summer. Printed Swiss muslin divides favor with organies. The former have spotted grounds; the latter striped or plain. Those with a glossy dress are the most dressy of the two. Stylish organies have a scroll pattern consist- ing of roses or other large or edlarged flowers on one side only, intended as a border for the edge of the skirt. Undeniably charming and delicate, characterized by the filmy, graceful, clinging qualities so much sought for this season, are the embroidered lawns and light cotton vellies that bear the poetic name of Lalla Rookhis. Those that are not embroidered are printed with a fine thread. The new appliqué lace will be used to trimm muslins this summer after the manner of the French gowns. Its foundation is a coarse cream cotton net of Fedora or Brussels weave. On the net is applied, in wreaths, garlands or bouquets, a design of flowers cut from printed lawn or organle. Sometimes a few stitches of embroidery are added here and there or a scrap of lace is woven to complete a desired effect. Women who are clever with the embroidery needle need to have the reversed reverses, reverses or sleeves by cutting out the roses, fuchsias, popies or pompour-pour baskets from a yard and of muslin and, by the aid of fine stitching, distribute them on white cotton point d'esprit. It is a very fragile decoration, this princesses lace, but it is novel and fashionable. Cuba's First Postmistress- The distinction of being the first postmistress in the island of Cuba belongs to Senorita Yasabel Maria de Los Rios, who holds a commission to handle the mails at Gibera. She receives a salary of $1,200 a year. As a clerk in this office she displayed much executive skills, and she takes charge of it meets with the fullest approval of the department officials and patrons of the office. Senorita De Los Rios is the oldest of a family of thirteen children, and is in her twenty-third year. She is a daughter of the late Judge Jose De Los Rios, who was postmaster at Gibera at the time of his death. April 3 last. She is the sister of Senorita De Los Rios who not remain in office long. She is engaged to marry Charles W. Shaw of New York city, superintendent of carriers in the Havana office. The Planet Venus. Damon. — Venus is the most brilliant of all the planets. When visible before sunrise, she was called by the ancients_Phosphorus, Lucifer, or the Morning Star, and when she shone in the evening, after sunset, Hesperus, Vesper, or the Evening Star. This planet makes a complete revolution around the sun in about 225 days, at the mean rate of twenty-two miles a second. Consequently her year is equal to about seven and one-half of our months. Her diameter is 'approximately' 7,500 miles. — Golden Days. Capltol Gulde3 in a Paplc.

Look Inside Your Fiddle: A fiddle that was bought by a man near Liverpool in the latter part of eighteenth century, that was taken to the North of Ireland with one branch of the family, there to do duty for generations at Irish weddings and dances, and finally found its way to America, being now in the possession of a poet, little old family fiddle has just been discovered to be a genuine "Strad." Mr. C. B. Kirtland, the employer of the farm hand, read a newspaper article on old Cremona violins that caused him to examine carefully the instrument of his "hired man." With a hand mirror he reflected light into the interior of the fiddle, and there found the faint inscription: "Stradivarius foceleb, Cremona, 17."—the last two figures being indistinguishable from the other that was submitted to experts, who pronounced it a genuine "Strad." So the old heilbronn has proved a fortune to the poor farm hand. ROOSEVELT EPIGRAMS Sentences Selected from President's Speech Accepting Nomination. The humblest 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.

For County Commission It is a pleasant duty to call attention to the work accomplished on the Board of County Commissioners by Nice Potter, who has consented to fly a second term as a member of that important body. As chairman of the Committee on Printing, a member of the Board of Equalization, and also on the Joint Court House and City Hall Commission his work seems to shine out as a beacon light for others to follow. We know that the public will recognize it, but in this connection we wish to point out that over confidence lost many a fight.

Shaffer, D. D., presiding bishop of the Fourth Episcopal District, was in the city on Sunday, and was welcomed by a large congregation at St. James A.M. By church, the services, A.M. were excellent, he was compelled to cut his visit short. On Monday he went to Minneapolis, where he met the church and people at St. Peter's. It is to be hoped that his next visit will be more prolonged so that, both he and the people may become better acquainted. There was a very pleasant surprise given to little Zelda Wilson of Louisville, a niece of Mrs. Jacobs, 355 Aurora avenue, last Friday afternoon. The affair was managed very successfully by Mrs. Chas, Morgan. The girls met at the residence of Alberta, Bell, who called for Zelda, and to her surprise when she got there they all formed a line and marched back to her aunt's. Mrs. Jacobs, where they found the table spread out, dainties seasoned awaiting them. An joyable time was spent by the little ones.

We feel assured that the voters of Ramsey County will reward his past splendid services by an uncontested party nomination and a sweeping majority at the polls next November. It is unfortunately only too infrequent that the public has an opportunity to vote for an official of Mr. Krahmer's character for probity, intelligence, efficiency and congenital decision to meet the interests, regardless of mere personal ends. The candidacy of such men should meet with all possible encouragement, not only for the direct objects thereby to be had and attained, but also on account of the general stimulative influence of that type of official upon general public life. It is impracticable and unnecessary now and here to give a detached account of the record of Mr. Krahmer's achievements during his first term. It is sufficient to withhold the most cordial approval of all those who have had occasion to fairly observe or investigate the same. If our judgment is not wholly without merit, we predict Mr. Krahmer's reelection with a largely increased majority. ST. PAUL'S STORM. St. Paul was visited Saturday by the worst storm that it has ever had—it seems to have been the center of three storms, which started at about 8 o'clock in the evening. It is remarkable that with the amount of damage it caused, but it were lost. Total number killed in this city and surrounding county, 11: injured 112; damage to property, $2,000,000. GREAT OPPORTUNITY It is with a great deal of pleasure that we announce that at last an opening has been made in one of the institutions in this city to give the Afro-American a chance.

READY OPENING DAY. It was formerly well understood that a fair would not be in order until several days after the date set for opening. This is not the case. When the Minnesota State Board meets at the open at 9 o'clock on monday morning, August 29th, every thing will be ready for exhibition. The management has made a point of this for some years, and will not allow exhibitors to be behind time. W. H. EDWARD G. KRAHMER.

The tornado last Saturday evening did great damage through the city. Many Afro-Americans suffered. Probably the greatest loss was that at Bethesda Baptist church on 8th street between 11th and 12th avenues So. The damage done this church is estimated at $1,400. The banquet tendered Bishop Shafer at St. James church last Monday evening was a splendid success in every way. Addresses were made by Wm. R. Morris, Rev. P. A. Hubert, F. L. McGhee, W. T. Francis, J. L. Curtis, Chas. Calloway, Revs. Reeves and Gaines. Rev. Butter presided as toastmaster. The party given last Thursday evening by Mrs. Geo. W. Nelson at her home, 2708 Chicago avenue in honor of Miss Edna Grey, brought out a large crowd of Minneapolis and St. Paul society people. Among those present were the Misses Wilson, who are guests of Mrs. W. D. Carter of St. Paul. Dancing and card playing were indulged in during the evening. The M. T. C. Art Embroidery Club and a few invited guests pincked at Minneaha Thursday, August 18. The day was a perfect one and was spent in feasting and games. Foot racing was one of the most interesting features of the program and prizes were awarded as follows: Free for all race, won by Mrs. Hardin, bone cake; women's race, Hone cake pan; women's race, Mrs. Cannon, gorgetly dressed doll; fat woman's race, Mrs. Gibbs, pin tray; free for all race, Mrs. Helms, honors; free for all race, Mrs. Kemp, cake pan; married women's race, Mrs. Cannon, bone dish; single women's race, Miss Martin, pin tray; little boys' race, Donald Hardin, pony ride; big boys' race, Miles Cannon, pony ride; girls' race, Mrs. Vieja, pony ride, Mrs. E Watson, awarded the pony rides. Mrs. at a very late hour all departed for their homes with $f feeling that the M. T. C.'s were all right. C. N. DICKEY is a candidate for re-nomination for clerk of the district court. For many yeahs he has employed an Afro-American in his office at a good salary; but was compelled to discontinue his services. If a member of our race is given a fair chance, is weighed in the balance and found wanting, it is no fault of the weigher. Mr. Dickey does not charge the race for the shortcomings of an individual. These facts should be considered closely when voting at the primary election for clerk of the district court. Pale Rose Cloaks. As pale blue cloth cloaks were immensely smart last summer at the French watering places, so this year will be those in pale rose color. Sometimes the material is flannel, sometimes cloth, sometimes taffeta, always it has a certain air of being tailored that is a bit of a pretense considering the color, and, in some cases, the material. One of the prettiest models to come out as yet is in pale rose flannel, three-quarters length, laid from the shoulders in tiny tucks that are stitched almost to the hem. The cloak fastens with an ecru guilure scarf about the throat, knotting on one side, and then hanging in two long, broad ends to the hem of the cloak, confined at several points by straps of flannel, buttoned across with handsome gold buttons. The sleeve is wide and loose and hangs only a little below the elbow in order to show a full undersleeve of lace like the scarf. The garment is unlined. Money in Modern Paintings The Abbe Gauguin's collection of modern paintings, which was sold in Paris a few weeks ago, once more attested the value of modern paintings as an investment. He began fifteen years ago, and spent only 20,000 fancs on pictures, which last last month at the Hotel Drouot brought 127,400 francs. What Money Cannot Buy.
