SATURDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1905.
WILLIAM LLOYD GARRISON
December tenth, the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of William Lloyd Garrison, was generally set apart by the Afro-Americans, all over the country, for the celebration of the memory of the great abolitionist—the friend of liberty.
Not only did Afro-Americans join in this celebration, but prominent white souls, teachers of thought, in the community, helped by speech, song and prayer, to keep green the memory of the man who was mobbed in the streets of Boston, and dragged through them with a roar around his neck, by her best c仪itations, sentiments on the slavery question.
When Garrison began to edit, the Liberator in Boston, there was no potential moral force in the country, battling for liberty, battling for the overthrow of slavery.
Within a few months after his paper had been started, it aroused the "angry attention" of the pro-slavery people of the North, and the expressed discontent. Before long an anti-slavery party had crystallized against the infamous despotism, and did not abate its splendid moral activities until, in the midst of the thunder and smoke of war, it was defeated.
All honor to the spirit of Garrison. Let his name and fame grow greater.

with the oncoming years, and let the Afro-Americans, everywhere, reverently invoke his name, annually on December 10.
The Chinese Minister recently made the following striking comparison: the Chinese have suffered from mobs in China the authorities have made repatriation for the losses, and rarely has the punishment of death failed to be inflicted on some of the guilty offenders.
"On the other hand, I am sorry to say that I have not been able to recall a single instance where the penalty of death has been visited on any member of the mobs in the United States, guilty of the death of Chinese, and in only two instances of our city, guilty of our city, the demeany been paid by the authorities for losses sustained by the Chinese."
The Minister states the exact facts in each case and demolishes our pretensions to be called a Christian nation in the courtesan manner. Doubless the appellation Christian, but majority of the people, if they are Christians, are a long ways from headquarters.
Those silly individuals who are making a hideous clamor over the big looting done by young Mr. Hyde make no allowances for the actual necessities of a young man who has his paws deep down into other people's pockets. Mr. Hyde found it impossible to live generously without the following array of vehicles.
Park drag, mail coach "Columbia" road coach "Liberty", pony coach, brougham, country broughtam, three ombittues, two hansons cag, two vicarious jogging cart, two railroad wagwag, Stanhope gig, dog cart, tandem cart, jogging cart, two-wheel buggy, Brightwood wagon, shooting trap, two skeleton breaks, body break, four cutter sleighs, two runabout wagons, top-end spring road wagon, top exp wagon. If Jim had been at all railroad wagon, he would have had a railroad train or two, one or two balloons, a few automobiles and a palakeen. The croakers should shut up.
The more the Hone. Hoke Smith talks about the necessity for Negro dischancement the more are we convinced that he has too much sense to believe in any such doctrine.—Augusta Chronicle
We quote the foregoing as showing one of the signs of the times, the fact that in Georgia, the Democratic party is split wide open upon the question of the dischancement of the Afro-American and each other like Kilkenny cats. This condition of things is not the result of volition on the part of any of the factions, but is in the strictest sense a forced fact. Georgia is ruled by an oligarchy of ten horn politicians, the most powerful of which domination" and "social equality" to inspire his illiterate hemanch. Tom Watson and Sam Jones are rendering efficient service as end men.
An exchange thinks that one race problem at a time is enough. It says: "The Afro-American is comparatively simple-minded, unambitious and lazy by mature, and therefore not intractable." The Chinese on the contrary, is at
least our equal in intellect, and greatly our superior in industry. Far from being tractable, he is one of the stubbornest of human beings. He could be manned only by special police force armed with Gatling guns. Just how our white brother could get along with two races, one "hazy by nature" the other greatly his "superior in industry" is certainly hard to see. It might simplify the problem if some laziness of the Anglo-Saxon, but as yet all efforts in that direction have been failures.
There is not much surprise in the allegations that the Venezuelan government is more or less under the suspicion of graft. In the estimation of the government that is what a government is for—Washington Star.
We admire the nerve that prompts the humorous editor to prefix the word South to Americans. Howsome Murphy, Cox, Gorm, McCarrenturm, Raisin, Hakey, Depe, and others are indulged and know what a government is for as well as any South Americans.

George Washington Murray, an Afro-American, once a member of Congress from South Carolina was recently sentenced to the penitentiary for three years for forging land leases. But we fail to find in the newspapers published by the Caucasians any great amount of moralizing over the event, Biglow, Hyde, McCurd, McCall, Charlton, Depew and others have destroyed the force of a once staple argument.
Recent disclosures show that there is close connection between the political and the financial booster. The political scoundrel holds the threat of "unfriendly legislation" over the head of the local government thus makes his scoop. Our political methods would disgust Captain Kidd.
The Finns are defying the Czar since they learned how the Buckeyes defied the French and how Maryland defied Ross Gorman.

In front of a drinking place in Fulton street stood a brewer's dray and the portly, prosperous looking horses attached to it were at their midday meal. Haughtily they tossed their heads, scattering the cats from their well filled nosebags as if to emphasize their opulence. Other horses standing in the street and engaged with scantily filled nosebags from which they struggled to extract the last particle of grain, kept one eye upon the haughty pair with a look which seemed to conceal envy under an expression which said as plainly as wishing that vulgar ostentation. Nearby stood a horse attached to a ramshackle cart. His expression was one of profound humility. His ribs showed through his hide and his Roman nose was unadorned by any bag of grain. All his expression seemed to say was: "What a blessing it is to be able to watch the rich enjoy themselves!" His humility under the trying circumstances reminded one of those starv-
Very curious were some of the explanations given by Chinamen of the recent earthquakes which have been felt at Hongkong, Canton and Macao. The Hongkong Daily Press tells about them: "The famous dragon whose privilege it has been to give an occasional shock to the earth's crust is not held responsible for the recent scare in Macao and elsewhere. Some Chinese attribute the last shocks to the water-dragon of Canton, whose anger has been raised by the reclamation works. Coolies are dumping daily boatloads of sand and stone on the poor dragon's back, and the beast naturally feels hurt. However, that the real causes of the earthquakes were the Macao crabs! Here is the story: Close by the hot springs in the neighborhood of Macao stands a small village wherein lives an old woman who has the misfortune to be the mother of an unworthy young man whose sole
"I was standing in the barroom in a resort at Three Forks," said a traveling man, "waiting for the propetor to arrive, in the hope of placing a small order. While I was waiting, two cowbirds, wrapped in fur coats, their own dignity and a reputation as the top riders of the country which stretches away toward the head of Willow Creek, came into the saloon and, marching up to the bar, demanded a cocktail.
"The bartender looked nonplussed for a moment, but he was not to be shut out, for he grabbed the biggest glass he could find behind the bar and immediately got busy. If there was anything there he missed gutting into that glass, from the salt and pepper sauce used to flavor the beer, to the snipping from the ends of the cigars which he found in the cigar cutter, I could not see it, and when he had finally finished he had two big beer
From the very day of his advent into the world a thoroughbred colt is man-handled, says the Metropolitan Magazine. At first he will be inclined out of sheer desert instinct to slip around on the other side of his mother when the man draws too near, but he gets over that. He gets him into a quiet and teaches him to trust the two-legged animal. Once that trust is obtained it is never abused. Thoroughbreds, until they get into races, are never whipped, are never even spoken to harshly. Theirs is a life of gentle handling and soft words. Except that he is made used to the hands of mankind, is done for him since he watch the health of his son and him out of mischief until he is ready to wean. Then a light halter without a strap is put on him. By this time he has grown so accustomed to being handled that any-
There is a popular belief in the extreme northwest that the north pole will be discovered by a musher, and not by any scientific polar expedition. This belief is based on the conviction that a gold stampede will eventually be started toward north latitude 90 degrees, and that mushers will rush in where arctic explorers have feared to tread. So completely unknown to fame is this newcomer in the race for the pole that to the majority of people the name suggests nothing but cereal breakfast food. Gilbert Parker, the novelist, who flipped to the acclimatized theme in French-Canadian life, has made his readers familiar with "Marche-L'en" the cry with which drivers of team trucks forehand their panting animals. French-Canadian trappers were among the earliest white men in the far northwest, and American prospect-

ing Parisians who, before the French revolution, used to accept with gratitude the privilege of crowding the galleries of the royal dining room to watch the king and his family at dinner. When the brewery horses had finished their luncheon their rubicund driver appeared, took off their nosebags and mounting his seat drove away. With a celerity surprising in such a bag of bones, the humble old horse moved up to the place vacated by the prosperous team and began to eat the oats left scattered on the floor. The man greedily the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table did that old, white horse devour the grain which fell from the nosebags of the brewery team. He cleaned the pavement as if it had been gone over with a fine-toothed comb and then, with a sigh of repletion which seemed to say: "I have dined," he settled back into his meditations—New York Press.
occupation is fishing. A few days previous to the first earthquake shock experienced in Macao the young man returned home with a couple of crabs and a few small fish.
"Nothing extraordinary was noticed at first, but when the crabs had been boiled one of them presented a peel of seaweed, as on the red background of its shell, and a pale design in white which resembled a Chinese character. Neighbors were called and the wise man of the village soon explained that it was the king of the crabs that had found its way into the old woman's kettle.
"Thereupon the village prophet predicted that some great calamity would visit the unfortunate village. Meanwhile the crabs of Macao and the neighborhood, having learned the fate of the crabs, in great numbers, filling up every room and started to shake the earth. Thus was their displeasure at the death of the king crab clearly shown!"

The boys both tasted the beverage,
and it did not taste good. Each had
unlimbered a big gun and, playfully
toying with the weapons, they suggested
that the bartender drink his own
mixture. It required some persuasion,
but finally, to avoid trouble, he swallowed
the contents of both glasses.

"And I tell you, the impromptu bartender had good occasion to make his will. For three of four hours he was the sickest man I ever saw, and it took the services of a doctor, who worked over him for an hour or two, to bring him back to life again."—Anaconda Standard.
thing a man may do to him seems right and proper. So he doesn't mind so much when the first restraining sign is made to him. He is given the halter, free at the beginning that he may learn the feel of it on his head. He is given the halter, worrying him into unnatural heat. He is worry enough in this separation from the mother. He is given a home with fellows of his age and like family distresses, and there he learns self-denial, and is in fine humor for the handlers when he is to be halter broken. He hardly knows when this event occurs to him. He is led away from the paddocks down into the open fields and allowed to graze with the white horse gently restraining him with the halter if it tures too far. So easily and naturally it is all done that before he realizes it the halter control over him is complete.
ors on the Yukon soon learned to goad their dogs on with the same cry, without, however, understanding the French, which, in their mouths, was rapidly corrupted to "Mushon!" to this day an Alaska dog's driver equivalent for "Gee up!" Dog drivers generally run with the team and therefore from "Mushon" has come the noun musher, used all over Alaska and the Yukon territory to designate a trailsman. The musher is generally prospector, stampeder and trailsman all rolled into one, and Alasahad that he has frequently to make his own precedents over newly frozen sea and trackless snow. The musher achieves most of his stampeding to new gold fields during the arctic winter, for then the ribid sea becomes a highway and might rivers need no bridging—Sun-set Magazine.

There was a very interesting debate at Pilgrim Baptist Church on Thursday day evening of last week subject: "A woman sick and lost in the woods, a woman with a broken arm, a woman her and a doctor cured her. Which of three have the best right to her?" The speakers for the hunter were: Mrs. Burton and Mrs. F. L. McGhee; for the farmer, Mrs. Gibbs and Dr. Valdo; for the turmeron and Mrs. Geo James. The many strong points brought out by these able speakers that the judges, Mr. and Mrs. Francis and Mrs McGhee were unable to render a decision.

STAG DINNER PARTY.
Given in Honor of Dr. R. S. Brown's Birthday Anniversary.
The elegant residence of Dr. R. S. Brown of Minneapolis was on last Friday evening the scene of one of the most pleasant gatherings that the "Mill City" has witnessed in a decade. The room was a stag dinner given by Mrs. Brown, the 42nd birthday anniversary. The table was profusely and beautifully decorated with smilax and cut flowers, with rose boutonniers at each guest's place. Elegant silhou, cut glass and china with crystal colonial candelabra surmounted by dainty, pink shades added under the elegant splendor. The menu was as follows.
Blue Points on Half Shell Celery Stuffed Olives Pickles
Oyster Dressing Cranberry Sauce
Mumm's Extra Dry
The guests present were: W. R. Morrison, J. Q. Adams, John L. Neal, R. L. Buttner, H. Donaldson, H. Richardson, Dr. O. D. Howard, Dr. Valdo Turner, B. Dr. O. Howard, Dr. Valdo Turner, H. B. Burk, Dr. W. T. Francis, R. B. Grey Gibbs Pleasants, Herman Simpson, John M. Allison.
Mr. W. R. Morrison acted as toastmaster and each one present was in turn cured. He responded and each seemed to vie with the toast, inizing and complimenting Dr. Brown who bore his honors with his characteristic complacent smile and becoming dignity.
The gist of the several speeches was eminent in the most given by Mr. J. Q. Adams as follows:
There is a man of great renown. Who was born in the year '63.
A few years ago he came to this town.
Of his name, he could aid M. D.
By his medical skill and methods good.
He prospered and he waxed fat,
And it is because he's forty-two.
That we are gathered here at.
So we bumper drink to the health
Of this man, the man.
Who has wisdom, worth and wealth,
Our honor guest, Dr. Brown.
After the dinner the remainder of
the evening was spent in whist playing
and the guests departed each one
felt that it was good to have been there.

REV. WITHERS SURPRISED.
The Former Pastor of Bethesda Baptist Church Remembered by Flash
tinst Church Remembered by Flock.
Rev. M. W. Witthers, was greatly surprised at his home, 2408 17th Ave. So last Monday evening by a party of forty-five friends, who entered his home singing and rejoicing. During the exe- tion of the pastor saw that he was so for outmurmuration, he cate; but the gentle, sweet voice of the leader Mrs. Wm. Helm announced the fact that they were his friends, so the pastor changed his mind and would not leave. When the excite- ment was over, Mrs. Jasper Gibbs in- tended to presents displayed Rev. Mrs. Witthers.
"The gathering this evening is for the purpose of expressing in some tangible form the appreciation and respect we bear for Rev. and Mrs. Witners. We have labored together during the past year in elevation and progress of God's work. During the past year many changes have taken place, and Rev. Witners has severed his connection with us. We, however, feel that he should not use the word "beloved" some token from those who believe he has put in good service at Bethesda Baptist Church. Therefore, we have brought with us, to-night, this Morris Chair, and when you shall rest upon its feet, you will be buried in the burial of your friends, who believe that there is a great work yet for you to do in building up the Master's kingdom. We would not hinder you, but bid you good speed. We responded to by Rev. and Mrs. Witners. The pastor said: "I am glad to have the pleasure of a heart-to-heart talk with my friends. Such acts, thoughts and words are certainly born in God-like hearts, and which is quite reasonable to contemplate."
First of all I want to express my appreciation of your presence upon this occasion, which is very evident to me. I haven't words adequate to express my high appreciation of this beautiful chair. You bring it as a testimonial of
Rev. M. W. Withers.
the esteem and appreciation of the labors that have been performed by me as your humble servant and pastor during the past five years. You have never nor have I forgotten your attendance, labors and wages you into the work of the Master. Always be as faithful, courageous and loyal, as you have been in the past. As I remember it now, 112 were received into membership of this church, and of this number, 34 were received in the church, among you and in the city in general, among you, and ennized by me, and 29 funerals conducted. For special debts, improvements and current expenses, over $10,000 has been raised and expended, to carry on the good work, a wonderful spectacle. We can see these figures that show the good that has been done, that we have many despondent hearts encouraged, how many tears wiped away, how many influenced to lead a higher and nobler life, the great, wise God only knows. I congratulate you, and wherever my lover, kind remembrance of you shall linger in my thoughts and prove an inspiration in all future undertakings. Thank you."
After the speech making, a most excellent lunch was served, which was enjoyed by all. After the meeting were present and contributed to this successful affair: Mendames Glibs, Lee, Moss, Walker, Shepherd, Jonds, Sexton, Beasley, Quarles, Simms, Teal, Larne, Hardin, Kellum, Butler, Mann, Trundle, Dare, Moss, Walker, Robert, Roberter, Robertson, Stevens; Misses Gracia and Gertrude Walker, Mae Monroe, Belle Blair, Nina and Viecy Holder, Effie Beautford, Viola Showell and Willametta Kellum; Mess's Modlin, Lysie, Lisbon, Lisbon, Howard and Gibbs.

Well boys, my business has grown so that I am forced to make my store larger and right after the New Year I am going to occupy my present store with the additional two stores, Nos. 312-314.
I am just going to have the swellest tailoring establishment in the United States.
I know that you appreciate good clothes, made to order, at low prices and therefore I am announcing to you through this ad that I am going to reduce my stock before the building is torn up and from now on to Xmas you can order a suit or overcoat from me that is worth $35 to $40 for $15.
For $20 I will make you a suit or an overcoat that will swell you up so you will hardly recognize your cheap friends.
Come right in and don't be bashful, because I am looking after the Appeal readers with as good care as I do after the bankers.
I am your friend,
