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. PROGRESS MADE IN CHINA THE TRUTH ABOUT SAKHALIN ELKS IN CIRCLE DANCE TALES OF THE HONEYMOON "LOOK UP!" THE MESSAGE "LOOK UP!" THE MESSAGE VOL. 22. NO. 5. "When a little company of the foreign women living in Shanghai formed themselves into the Tien Tsu Hul (Natural-Feet society), they were greeted with derision by everybody," writes Mrs. Archibald Little. "But they gave and collected little sums of money, gave prizes for essays, selected tracts and had them printed, and themselves circulated them throughout the length and breadth of the vine empire—as big as Europe. When China became the tenth thousands assembled for their tens of triennial examinations little assortments of these tracts were given to each competitor to take back to his native village. At last the dawager empress issued an imperial edict. Then one, by one, the great Chinese viceroys issued proclamations against blinding generally in response to an interview or a letter from the organizing secretary of the Natural-Feet society. And now, by last post, a letter from the far west of China says: The China is changing a rapid way; unbound feet is the order way; for little girls now: foreign way; for clothes for boys, and drill everywhere. While from Shanghai comes the most delightful report of the most encouraging side of the movement. The rich Shanghai officials have started a Tien Tsu Hul girls' school for Sakhalin is a Chinese word meaning black, and is the first word in the Chinese description of the northern half of the island, as "cliffs or rocks at the mouth of the black river." The island has by no means such a damp, foggy and miserable climate as is generally supposed. A writer says: "Not only does the visitor to the island in summer experience some of the finest weather he could wish for, but the official meteorological records show the same for past years. In August and September the days are often very hot, though at night the temperature falls to nearly freezing point; but it is not till October that the temperature drops to its lowest tops and the winter begins with its dry, healthy cold, like that of Canada, lasting till the following April or May. The island is about 600 miles long and sixteen to 100 miles wide, giving an area approximately equal to that of Greece. A mountainous ridge runs along the island for the whole of its length, flanked by low sandstone hills to the east and west, but of greater extent on the east. The grand curious amusement of the elk, one which many hunters have witnessed, may be called their circle dance. H. W. Skinner of Chicago sends me his observations in this performance, says Ernest Thompson Seton in Scriner's: "About 4 clock a day afternoon in August, 1880. I was riding north east up a small stream flowing into one of the tributaries of the Green river, near its source in northwestern Wyoming. The intense heat was only relieved by an occasional faint breath of breeze from the north. My attention was attracted by a column of fine, dark brown dust rising ahead of me and on the opposite side of the creek (I was on the south side). "The column of dust looked almost as if caused by a whirlwind. On reaching a point as close to it I could get without crossing the creek —I was perhaps 100 yards from it—I found that it was caused by a band of elk numbering from twelve to twenty, who seemed to be trotting quite rapidly, with occasionally awk- "One of the strangest vocations, to my mind," said a Union square publisher, according to the New York Press, "is that of purveyor of honeymoon diaries. A woman has all the business in this town. She is a former society leader, and, on the quiet, a sort of money lender. In her salad days she had many girl friends. She told her story and how she worked these friends for a good living when her husband died, leaving her a silver door plate and a pile of unpaid bills. "It seems that all the girls of a senior class in a certain fashionable seminary decided to keep honeymoon diaries, if they ever had the chance to. The society leader remembered the oath through the years, and when poverty came knocking at her door she laughed at him and went forth to hunt up the diaries. She gained information little by little. Then she published her own honeymoon diary anonymously in gilt and red. It had One thing denied, the anguish-striken Pleasure.

That they have to their reach like some fruit. the girls of good family who have either not bound their feet or have unbound them, with the hope that the girls there educated may eventually become teachers in other schools all over China. "Although only just started, eighty young ladies are already boarding at this school, and when it finished its term the place was packed, chiefly the results. The greatest challenge is the highest official in Shanghai recited 'Mary Had a Little Lamb,' with great distinctness; a party of little girls sung in chorus, 'Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.' Then all sung a Chinese anti-foot-binding song, and there were short piano solos. A feature of the afternoon was a vigorous speech by Mrs. Wang, the greatest lady scholar China boasts. Then all the scholars showed what progress they had made in physical drill. "Thus the unbinding of the feet of the girls of China is gradually developing into a movement for their higher education. And when the 200,000 women of China are set up to teach, to wash, to olden their house and their children, as well as to learn the elegant accomplishments of English and music, we may look for an improvement in the whole Chinese race." the same writer continues, "the forest stretches down to the sea, but on the eastern, as one approaches the Okhotsk sea, whence comes cold, piercing winds, the 'taiga' (Siberian virgin forest) gives place to hills covered with white reindeer moss and but few trees, or to broad stretches of tundra near the river mouths. Both hills and valleys in the interior are, for the most part, clad with dense pine forest, three-quarters of the forest being so covered. The flora shows its own subtropical nature, the polar and subtropical species, the larger more especially in evidence in the southwest of the island, where the vegetation and scenery resemble that of northern Japan. "To the north the forests are composed chiefly of larch, pine, birch and other north temperate or polar species, with wild raspberry, bog-myrtle and other undergrowth. On the coasts, on the broad stretches of Siberian tundra, occur various small polar plants. To the south are maple, oak, ash, bamboo, cork tree and other trees. The fauna shows a similar variety." ward galloping plunges in a circle perhaps thirty feet in diameter. They were going in the same direction as the hands of a watch, in the edge of a little belt of second-growth timber, mainly, I think, quaking asp. "They were moving, not with heads up, but with noses only a foot or two from the ground. My impression is that they were all bulls. Owing to the dense clouds of dust, which occasional light puffs of wind blew almost toward me, I could not see very clearly. It seemed to me that they were running about as 'milling' cattle do, except that I never knew cattle to 'mill' in such a small bunch. I related this incident several times to umers and trappers, who could offer me a glimpse. There were large numbers of elk in country at the time in bands of various sizes." The remarkable exercise has no obvious relation to the sexual instinct or to hygiene, and marks several important steps in the evolution of amusement. If to it we could add a little music we should have the essentials of social dancing. a big circulation among the select curious. First one and then another classmate yielded and gave their diaries to be published, and after a bit she had quite a library of them. They are big sellers. The climax came when some wag sent her a diary that I had the first names of all her set, and seemed so natural and intimate that she printed it in purple and silver. "When it was well circulated the wag put a note in a weekly paper, telling the real author of the book. This didn't feze the woman much. She just added on the title page.

PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1906. Girls' Hair for Guns CROSS SECTION VIEW OF A GUN SIGHT It is remarkable that the success of the greatest of world-changing inventions depends on some little thing that a child could blow away with its breath. But for the little charred filament that trembles in the bulb of an incandescent lamp the vast fortunes invested in dynamo plants could be wasted. The big machines of or power employed of thousands of horse power employed of thousands illuminating the cities of the country and very spider web loops and cork screws that become incandescent when the current is turned on and flood dwellings and palaces with splendor. A still more startling fact appears in the success of the big guns of the navy. But for the little hairlike lines in the telescopes that sight the guns the marksmans could not get effective aim and the fort or warship could be destroyed. Without these insignificant little arms of wire Dewey could not have a history on that wonderful morning in his fleet sailed into Manila harbor and sank the Spanish ships. Much has been written of the necessity of warships with big guns, and unerring marksmanship. The successful application of telescopic sights to naval guns is the key to all great naval victories. It is said no individual part of the mechanism of the battleship has received more attention than the perfection of the telescope sights of the guns. At 8,000 yards an ironclad appears scarcer than larger than a speck on the horizon, makes a powerful telescope to insure a clear aim and destructive fire from the guns. The finest spider web wires are placed in center of the telescope, one horizontal and two perpendicular, and through the little slit thus formed the gunner aims his projectile at the vital part of the enemy's ship. To properly fasten and adjust these little wires in the exact place where they should go is not only tedious but requires great patience and skill, so as not to have them break at the first discharge of the guns. The concussion during a bombardment is tremendous. Men are knocked over, crockery is broken, lockers are demolished by the terrific discharges, which cause frequent breakage of the little wires strung across each other at the center of the telescope. It was during a discussion of this subject that Dr. Combs bright young officers suggested subdue single hairs pulled from a man's hair the wires which so frequently broke. In a spirit of banter and fun search was made for hairs of the required length. Panama Canal Excavation Comparisons A diagram which vividly sets forth comparisons showing the difference between a sea level canal and one constructed through the Culebra cut at Panama, is published in the Engineering News. The offices of the Engineering News are in the St. Paul building, one of Manhattan's most familiar skyscrapers, and this has been brought into the diagram for illustrative purposes. The huge excavation across the Culebra cut will be the largest furrow on the earth's surface ever made by human agency. The maximum original elevation of the ground surface at Culebra was 345 feet above sea level, but the diagram in the upper cross-section shows the cut necessary for a lock canal with an elevation of about 85 feet above sea level. This was the level which the Isthmian Canal commission recommended in 1801, and is about the level on which the canal will be constructed according to present plans. The lower cross-section shows the cut it would be necessary to make to construct a sea-level canal of the same dimensions. The outline of the Great Northern steamship Minnesota is shown, and it will be noted tends to dwarf the canal excavation. The steam shovel and the locomotive on opposite sides of the canal give a better comparative idea of its size. A man can more readily imagine himself near the top of the St. Paul building, at a height of 250 feet. The view from there gives a fair idea of how deep the canal will seem before the water is turned in. By the diagram an idea of the magnitude of the work may be had. Cross-Section of Palisades, Drawn to Same Scale as Cross-Section of Culebra Cut. Cross-Section of Cutting Through Culebra Divide. St. Paul Building. Colabra Cup Office Building Level Sea Level 21200 An experiment proved that they had hit on a grand discovery. No matter how great the concussion and recoil of the guns, the crossed hairs forming the sights did not break. Yet a new problem confronted the young men, which for a few days promised to be serious. There was a scarcity of long hair. The navy was ransacked. Any man who had a friend with hair or hair whiskers long enough for suspenders implored him to part with it. Whole consignments would be taken at any price. Every long-haired man available was plucked of his locks. Next a search was made for suitable hair growing on animals. Horse hairs were too large. Only the finest filaments would serve. Again genius came to the rescue. A young lieutenant engaged to a dream-eyed hourt suddenly into the air, exclaiming, "I have! (H) He (H) he her. her." "What is the matter with women's hair?" he exclaimed with eloquence. "By jove, that's a capital idea. Why didn't we think of it before? I know a dozen girls with hair a long long who would willingly give us a few tresses for the benefit of the naval service," said a dozen men in chorus. Then invitations were sent out asking numerous young women, all beautiful and long-haired, to inspect the ship. The affair was a success, but it was a mystery to the girls when they compared notes after the dance that evening why so much interest in their hair had so suddenly grown unanimous. Every girl confessed that her hair had not only been admired, but that she had given a strand of it to her sweetheart, who said it would keep his heart warm and enable him to make a bull-eye shot in target practice. It was a great event when the young officers, with patriotism burning in their bosoms, equipped their telescopes with the precious hair of their sweethearts. The little gossamers not only did not break, but the magnetism or whatever you call it of the dear woman, whose spirit seemed very near, gave the young officers inspired alm. The record of the young officers inspired all previous records. Away out on the misty horizon the little thing no longer than a speck, but in reality a great battleship, could be hit in the vitals ninety-nine times out of all, because of the glorious tresses properly adjusted inside the telescope. Any reader who has ever seen the dearest eyes in the world looking at him through little riffs of The maximum original elevation of the ground surface at Culebra was 345 feet above sea level, but the diagram in the upper cross-section shows the cut necessary for a lock canal with an elevation of about 85 feet above sea level.

The lower cross-section shows that it would be necessary to make to construct a sea-level canal of the same dimensions. hair hanging like spun glass over the forehead knows how accurate the aim is and how effective the fire—even from those dear eyes. So it was with the young men at their big guns. After the achievement was duly celebrated and discussed, and adroit, letter letters written to the young women for more hair, the boys settled down to regulation practice at target shooting. Again a new problem arose. Which was the best kind of hair—blonde, black, Titan or the kind that all good artists rave over and can never reproduce in colors? A western lieutenant declared that the golden tresses of the girl he was to marry next June were absolutely accurate and he believed he could hit a fly a fifteen-inch projectile at 9,000 yards. Some of the gunners say that no hair can compare with black for this purpose. Not a Policeman. Gen. Lee, commanding the Department of Texas, tells a good story upon himself. Leaving his office one afternoon after closing hours, he was stopped at the sally port by one of a large number of visitors attracted to Saa Antonio by the recent fair. "Will you please tell what car I take to the Springs?" asked the damself. The General paused, and, with his customary courtesy, removed his hat before replying that he was not very familiar with the destinations of the various car lines. "But you ought to know," said his fair inquisitor, allowing something of impatience to appear in her tone. "Ain't you a policeman?" The General replied sadly that "at one time in his life he had aspirations to become a member of the force he feigned it was too late." The maiden's look of impatience gave way to one of admiration as she contemplated the General's figure. And with a sigh she said: "Well, if you ain't a policeman, you sure ought to be." "I won't say marriage is a failure," he began, "for some"—he sneered violently—"some are more fortunate in what they get than others." She laughed the gay, hard laugh which annoyed him most. "I are right, dear," she said. "You this once, got me, but I not only" The outline of the Great Northern steamship Minnesota is shown, and it will be noted tends to dwarf the canal excavation.

This action, which will cause surprise and disappointment everywhere Mr. Hitt is known, and genuine regret on the part of his many warm, personal friends, has been forced upon Mr. Hitt by the state of his health, which it could not pass the pait but is understood that President Roosevelt would have given to Mr. Hitt an important diplomatic post last year if his health had permitted him to assume the responsibilities of such a position. Among those who knew the friendship existing between the President and the past he had been told that if Mr. Hitt recovers sufficiently the President will be only too glad to recognize his splendid ability and experience by a satisfactory foreign appointment. Already there is speculation as to who will be selected to succeed Mr. Hitt in impression prevals in Washington the place will fall to Col. Frank D. Lowden. The people of South Carolina insist upon supplying Speaker Cannon with wearing apparel. The latest contribution to the war effort is the wardrobe is a pair of white yarn socks. They are the gift of the "Kowie Courier force of Marshall, S. C." The socks are made of the same material as the galluses that were presented to the speaker some time ago. With his new homespun suit, which also comes from South Carolina, and his galluses that press the speaker is a walking advertisement of the industries of the state. President Roosevelt has given positive assurance to the friends of Gen. John S. Clarkson of Iowa that the latter will be nominated for a second term as surveyor of the nort of New York. The story was published that the would not get another term. His friends immediately became alarmed and took the matter up with the President, who left no doubt as to his intentions. The President spoke well of Gen. Clarkson and gave the promise that he should not be disturbed where he is. Afro-American troops will be sent to the Philippines hereafter to serve tours of duty in the island of Mindanao against the Moros, according to the latest policy adopted by the War Department. According to the latest plans, all of the forty Afro-American regiments of the regular army will be given service, in turns, in Mindanao. Dr. Rocker T. Washington denies that he advised the President to oust Afro-American office holders in the South. Some of the newspapers are expressing their surprise that I. C. Napier of Nashville, declined the office of U. S. Consul at Bahia, Brazil. It goes without saying that Napier is an Afro-American for no Caucasian would decline an office. Albert Morwetz of Arizona has accepted the place. The resolution of Mr. Tillman asking the committee on immigration to investigate the facts of the Chinese boycott of American goods was laid before the Senate Monday. Mr. Dubois referred to the south and the demand for Chinamen to supply Afro-American labor, which remarks provoked disclaimers from Mr. Chay, the head of the south had conditions bad enough now, without further mixing them up. Gen. J. Warren Keifer of Ohio had a short conference with the President provoking a prepapling a bill for the reduction of the presentation in Congress, and it will be introduced in the near future. Mr. Keifer and Judge Crumpacker of Indiana have been conferring frequently since Congress convened after the holidays about the best plan to pursue. "We have been going into the matter pretty fully," said Gen. Keifer, "and are getting a lot of help from the outside. lot of data is being supplied by men and organizations who are interested in the subject. Gen. Keifer stated that he and Judge Crumpacker will not introduce their bill until they have studied the matter from all standpoints and have gathered the necessary data to press the case before the committee.

Beside the honored guest and host, a number of Illinois and Washington people were present. Monday was McKinley day at the Capitol. The birthday of the martyr President was remembered by a very large number of senators and representatives by the swearing of red capernations as boutonieres. When the Senate assembled the Vice President had a red carnation in his buttonhole, as did a very large number of others on the floor. Among those who were in the chamber shortly after the Senate was called to order wearing red earrings were Senators Scott, Dick, Pratt, McCumbine, Warner, Daniel, Tillman, LaFollette, Bamble, Beveridge, Knox and Hopkins. Tulio Larrinaga, resident commissioner of Porto Rico, accompanied by Robert H. Todd, mayor of San Juan, and Francisco Buso, called on President Roosevelt recently to present a memorial, asking that a more liberal form of government be adopted for the government of the Territory. A unique method of expressing their esteem for Dr. Gordon, the retiring president of Howard University, has been taken by five African students: Peni Penick, John R. Sabo, Arthur E. Makaya, Joel D.

The present to be given the professor is a cane of yellow mahogany, imported from Africa, with handle carved from the hoof of the zaba, a species of deer, and a Teule chiselled from the tusk of an African sea tiger. The cane was made in the wilds of Africa by a missionary at the request of the five young men. It has been two months in the passage. D. H. W. BUSINESS LEAGUES Some Suggestions to Afro-American Business Men. Editor of The Appeal—Dear Sir: Through the medium of your paper, I wish to impress upon the Local Afro-American Business League that are now more aware of the importance of having a regular meeting place, and that the room or rooms selected for this purpose be as convenient and comfortably furnished as possible so that they may serve as a kind of headquarters for the business portion of the community. 2. With equal emphasis I want to urge that every Business League have a regular and stated time for meeting. These meetings should occur at least once each month, or offerer if possible. 3. I wish to urge that too much attention not be given to numbers. It is more important for a few substantial, reliable, progressive persons interested in business and the establishment of each locality to come together regularly to have large and unwieldy numbers. 4. It is important that all bear in mind that the meeting in Atlanta next August is likely to be the largest and most gathering of the kind we have held. 5. I wish to suggest the following among the subjects to be discussed in monthly meetings: (a) How to secure the business; (b) What business could be started with advantage in the community; (c) What business should our women be encouraged to start; (d) If a bank is not in existence, we should be one in the community; (e) The importance of the real estate business; (f) Wood and coal business in relation to the community; (g) The importance of courses of business neat and comfortable. 6. Wherever possible, I should like to see local Women's Business Leagues established. Booker T. Washington, Presc. Dr. Washington's Denial Booker T.

Martin Luther's Wedding Ring. Martin Luther's wedding ring was discovered in 1829 in a second-hand shop in Geneva by Mme. Michael Gilrod, and is now at Waldenberg. It is made of silver gilt, and is believed to have been designed by the esteemed painter and goldsmith Lese Cranch, and probably was wrought with his own hands, for he was one of the three men selected by Luther as witnesses of his marriage. The design is complicated and includes the several symbols of the Fassion. In the center is a figure of the crucified Savior; on one side is the spear with which His side was pierced and on the other side the ladder used for the crucifixion. There is a leaf of hyssop, the dice with which the so-called spear with His garments threw nails, a crown of thorns and other symbols connected with the last act of the Atonement, so grouped as to form a cross with a tiny ruby at the joint, which represents a drop of blood. It is inscribed "D. Martin Luther—Catherine Eoren, 12 June 1592." HAVE YOU READ THE APPEAL ST. PAUL OFFICE, No. 110 Union Blk, 4th & Cedar, J. O. ADAMS, Manager.

Distrust all who would have any one class placed before any other. Other republics have fallen because the unscrupulous have substituted loyalty to class for loyalty to the people as a whole. —President Roosevelt's speech at Little Rock, Ark. --- SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 3. 1906. NOT SCULLIONS Says Bishop Turner of the A. M. E. Church: "The Afro-American will never be anything in this country but a scion he will shows his manhood. Go to Afro-American build up a great nation that will command the respect of the civilized world." We quote the foregoing as a sample of the reckless assertions made by prominent but indiscreet members of the race, which are doing the Afro-American a great injury. It is far from true to mention the scioned sections; many, nay, thousands of them are holding dignified and heretic positions in church and state, perhaps proportionately as many as among the Caucasian Americans. Thousands are reputable professional ministers, doctors, lawyers, teachers, the bishop of Bro. Turner's church are not sections, our hundreds and thousands of professors and teachers are not such. In short, instead of the Afro-American, even in the United States, he is in thousands of cases far removed from any such position. Again the good bishop is propagating a very serious and injurious error in intimating that the Afro-American has not as yet shown his manhood, and that he has not been engaged, which this country has been engaged, that of the Revolution, that of 1812.

The generation which came out of slavery poverty stricken and illiterate to South with churches and schoolhouses. I Bishop Turner and his followers desire to build up a "great nation in Africa" it is all right but the good bishop is not a Negro and it is not that a cow man would be civilized in Africa. It is not the manstats of the Dark Coutient, and it is not necessary to go to Africa to escape the condition of a scallion nor to show his manhood. The Afro-American's refusal to accept the position of a scallion and the manstats of a scallion and right now in the United States are the very things which are stirring up the World, the Flesh, the Devil and Tom Dixon to try to plow him under. AMERICAN MORALS The Chicago Chronicle remarks: "Never were moral distinctions more confused than at the present. Respondents now heard to remark: 'After all, all might is right.' There is a remarkable indifference to scaling and to taking human life. The very courts do not seem to be certain that there is much difference between law and license or between right and wrong. Indeed, we find uncertainty, confusion and indifference reigning or about to reign. There is a great deal of truth in the ferging paragraph. Our only standpatters are the devotees of Mammon, political and financial, Tammany Hall, the Trusts, insurance companies and banks, the state, and the officials our courts are like, the officials of the political parties, cut out to suit the popular prejudices, the religions of our churches are conformed to the tastes of politicalummers and blackguards and our code of morals would disgrace a gang of anarchists. Republican government has been eliminated in the past, Mason and Dixon's line and is a more tradition, a reminiscence, a mirage. The Atlanta Constitution is quite jubilant over the fact that Jim Walker, an Afro-American guilty of criminal assault, and who confessed his crime, was legally tried, defended by three judges, and a course convicted and executed. THE Constitution finally glad that the Constitution derives so much satisfaction from the management of the Jim Walker case. And it happens to be aware of the fact that the case is not an isolated one; there are other cases in the South. The Constitution remarks: "Judge Roan has won the esteem of all lovers of law and justice for the manner in which he has dealt with this case—speedy to act, yet firm in his identity to exact justice, he has demonstrated the adequacy of our conferences in meeting emergencies of this nature. We trust that the critics of Georgia and the south will bear this clean-cut case in mind, when next they are tempted to indulge in long distance administration of such affairs, that the Constitution will find that the "citizens of Georgia" will heartily join in its commendation of Judge Roan. Dr. Norton declares, (1) that no thinking man would hesitate—"hesitate" is actually the word he uses;"to give a total dose of laudanum to"the victim of an accident from the torturing effects of which recovery was impossible;" (2) that no reasonable man would hasten to hasten death in a case where cancer has reached the stage of incessant pain and the patient wants to die; and (3) that it is plain duty to shorten, not to prolong, the life of "an old person whose mind is a chaos of wild imaginations productive of the distress not only to the sufferer, but all who live with and attend him." In the first place, there is not one idea of truth in what this eminent professor asserts; for there are thousands of thinking persons who could not be induced to do anything of the kind. In the next place, the reasoning is "teachy, sensual and devilish." And no person holding such opinions or merely expressing them is fit to be a teacher, even among Hotten-tots. Dr. Mellin of Providence, R. I., formerly President of Atlanta University, in a recent lecture declared that the perpetration of crimes, especially charged up to the Afro-American, is not the refined, educated classes but of those who through neglect or lack of opportunity are denied an education. Such is also the testimony of all un- prejudiced persons who have investi- gated the facts. Southerners not ex- cepted. RT. REV. C. R. HARRIS, D. D. Bishop of A. M. E. Zion Church. That the American electorate is composed of some—a very large some—of crack-brained elements was shown by the large vote cast for William R. Hearest. Hearest is an unspeakable misanthropic, inherited great wealth with which he hopes to official position. He publishes a lot of nasty newspapers, and occasionally writes a skilful-licking letter to a southern legislature. The King of Belgium is the most detestable old slave holder upon the face of the earth. He has made himself the wealthiest monarch in Europe and one of the richest men in the world by his unspeakable barbarities in the Congo Free State. The King of Belgium has made that portion of the country a hell upon earth, as is attested by many creditable witnesses. THE APPEAL does not believe that there is any prospect of any trouble with China which may not easily be avoided by simply treating Chinese visitors with humanity. The Chinese demands are reasonable and should be granted. ANCIENT CHAIRS IN SALEM FOUND GOLD IN ALASKA RAILROAD MAN WITH RECORD HIDDEN WEALTH OF INDIA STILL WORSHIP THEIR IMAGES STILL WORSHIP THEIR IMAGES Not long ago I enjoyed the privileges of admittance to some homes of Salem containing rare pieces of historic furniture, each replete with history and the heart of the lover of tradition, wishes Grace B. Faxon in the Pilgrim. Perhaps the finest collection of antiques in America is gathered under the rooftree of Charles F. Waters, who lives in Washington square, and among all stands forth a chair, which, because of real beauty, commands admiration. It is elaborately and handsomely carved, and to it belongs, possibly, the oddest history of any piece of furniture in Salem. It seems that one John Cogswell came over here from the mother country in crossing the ocean in the good ship Gabriel, which was the same craft that brought Sir Walter Raleigh to Guiana, South America, in 1618, on his second and last voyage. John Cogswell took with his wife, eight children and household goods—among the last this chair—for settlement in this country. A frightful storm off the coast of Maine, where by mistake they had drifted, caused a total wreck of the vessel. Mr. Cogswell and family, and what furniture there was preserved, were carried to the shore at Pemquid, Me. where the family spread a tent and remained until the next week. "They then took Gold was first discovered in Alaska on the Anauk river, a tributary of the Kuskwim river, which joins the latter stream about twenty-five miles below the trading post of Kalamakoffsky, says the Ketchikon Mining Journal. The Anauk river was discovered by Ivan Simenson Lukeen in 1832, at which time he built a fort, called Lukeen's Fort, on the Kuskwim river, twenty-five miles above the mouth of the Anauk. It was partly destroyed by natives in 1841, and, rebuilt by Kalamakoff, a Russian trader, was afterward called Kalamakoff redoubt. In 1832 the headquarters of the Russian-American Trading company were at Stika and supplies were transported thence to Lukene's Fort by way of Nushagak river, Tie-chie river and lake and down the Anauk river to the Kuskwim river and thence up stream twenty-five miles to the west. In 1837 the yearly supplies were sent by way of the mouth of the Kuskwim river and the old way abandoned as a station route and used only for the purpose of the mails during the winter dog teams. It was the only winter route the Russians ever used from any point on the Yukon to the outside Enoch Down, tall, stalwart and healthy, carrying upon his shoulders the weight of 79 years, holds the undisputed distinction of being the oldest locomotive engineer in the world. He lives at Amagaria, Ont., a settlement a few steps from Bridgeburg. Enoch Bown is an Englishman by birth. His native town is Lancashire, England, three miles from Manchester. He was born Oct. 14, 1826. In those days railroads were scorned by many people. Enoch Bown was only 14 years old when he began railroading. He secured a position as helper on the old London & Birmingham, now the Northwestern railway. He worked at plate laying. Nowadays they call it section building. When 17 years old he quit and began serving an apprentice to a mechanic and in 1847 he founded him on the road which first gave him employment. Soon he gained experience and the confidence of the managers and was appointed engineer. Enoch Bown knows all about running a locomotive using wood blocks for fuel. It was hard and troublesome work in those days. It would be an immense benefit to all mankind if the stores of gold now held by individuals in India could be made available for general use. Ever since the dawn of history that country has been gathering and hiding it away. Treasures of almost incalculable value are possessed by many Indian princes, says Spare Moments. When the marahajar of Burdur died the stock of gold and silver left by him was so large that no member of the family could make an accurate estimate of it. A report made to the British government by a secret agent stated that on the estate of the deprived estate was a number of treasure houses, one of them containing three rooms. The largest of these three rooms was forty-eight feet long and was filled with ornaments of gold and silver, plates and cups, washing bowls, jugs and so forth—all of precious metals. The two other rooms were full of bags and boxes of gold mohurs and silver rupees. The door of this and other treasure houses had been bricked up for nobody knows how long.' A village in Mexico of 1,000 souls, not one of whom had heard of God—such is the story told by the Rev. S. G. Inman, a minister of the Christian Church at Monterey. Nestling in a deep valley twenty-five miles from Salitillo and shut off from the rest of the world by high and impassable cliffs, the pure Indians have lived for generations, still worshiping their stone and wooden images and with a mastered everything pertaining to a supreme being, according to Mr. Inman, who has written to friends in Mexico City concerning his strange find. Santo Domingo is what the town is called, though why and wherefore none of the elders of the village could tell. It had been called that for generations and more, and they did not know the significance of the words. It was by accident that Mr. Inman stumbled on the quiet and curious passage to Boston and settled at Ipswich, Mass. This chair descended in the family until it came to Mr. Waters, the present owner. Once upon a time there lived in Salem an merchant of great wealth and renown, Mr. Joshua Ward. Gen. George Washington, during a visit to Salem, spent the home of Mr. Ward, and spent in the chamber of the fine, brick house. Among the furnishing of his room were several beautiful Hepplewhite chairs. One of these chairs—said to be the chair in which Washington sat to record his impressions of Salem in his diary—is now treasured in one of the city's noted homes. It was while on this visit that Washington wrote of the chair of Salem: "I have seen at least 100 home and well-dressed ladies, a greater portion of them having much blacker hair than is seen in the south." In the home of Daniel Low, in Essex street, the old cabinet house, where Mrs. Joseph J. Chamberlain made her home as Miss Endicott, stands a Dutch chair of bandy legs and beautiful proportions. This chair is more than 250 years old, and has descended from the first Low in America, who settled at Essex, Mass, and among whose descendents is exMayer Seth Low of New York, to the present owner. (Sitka), and was only abandoned for the purpose after they left the country. It was white on one of these trips in 1832 that the Russians discovered gold on the Anauk, and it is known to-day as the Yellow River of the Russians. It is not known whether they ever attempted mining on any large scale or whether they found gold in paying quantities, but it is thought to be the first time on record of gold being found in this country. Lukeen was born of Russian and Spanish-American croole parents in the Ross colony in California. He was well educated at the Sikh school and proved to be an active, energetic and intelligent officer. In 1863 Lukeen ascended the Yukon river from St. Michael to Fort Gibbon, then a Hudson's Bay company trading post, which was built by McMurray, who descended the Porcupine river in 1847. Lukeen was the first man who connected the Pelly river of Campbell to the Porcupine river to St. Michael that fall. In 1866 Russian garrison at Kulakamoff reduced, in charge of Dementoff, was withdrawn, the United States having purchased Alaska from the Russians. in 1857, with seven years' successful experience as an engineer, then 28 years old, Enoch Bown was seized with the desire to cross the Atlantic, so he moved to Canada, immediately securing an appointment as engineer on the Old Great Western. He ran the company in Windsor. He also engineered on the Buffalo & Lake Huron. These lines have since been improved and acquired by the Grand Trunk. His familiarity with the iron steeds which had been his life's companions brought about his appointment in 1872 as foreman of engines of the Grand Trunk. He held this position for a quarter a century and found himself 71 years old and ready for retirement. He decided to work some more, and was soon picked up to operate the dummy car on the International bridge. For eight years this fine-looking and gray whiskered engineer was daily seen at his post, but Jan. I last be closed his labors, and now he is working with neighbors and neighbors in the passive hamlet of antiquated Amagaria.—Buffalo Enquirer. These valuables, according to an ancient custom, were in the custody of the maharajah's wife, the vaults being attached to her apartments, but none of them was allowed to be opened save in the presence of the master. One vault was filled with ornaments belonging to different goods of the family. The natives of India commonly bury their hoods and, among the poorer classes, a favorite hiding place is a hole dug beneath the bed. Disused wells are sometimes employed for the same purpose. It is undoubtedly a fact that many hoards thus deposited are lost forever. Gold is also valued on religious grounds, and the precious quantities of gold, silver and precious stones. The temples contain vast amounts of the yellow and white metals. The habit of hoarding seems to have been induced by ages of misgovernment, during which oppression and violence were rife. No feeling of safety existing, it was natural that the natives should adopt the practice of reducing their wealth to a concentrated shape and hiding it. village hemmed in by precipiuous crags. He was riding overland toward Saltillo when he came to a deep cut in the mountains which he followed and which led to the town of Santo Domingo. White men had been there before and the sight of the missionary was no novelty to the pure Indian descendants that thronged round his horse and offered their hospitality—poor, but the best they had. After partaking of it and ascertaining through the guide who accompanied him that the Indians knew nothing of a God or a creator all things, the Indians knew all sorts of a meeting and give spiritual instruction. This could not be accomplished at the first trip and Mr. Iman returned to Monterey, where arrangements are now being made to hold regular meetings there and instil some Christianity into the descendants of the aborigines—Mexican Herald.

Church Law Openly Defied—Drunk-ards, Seducers, Thieves, etc., transferred Around and Kept in Good Places—A Terrible Arraignment. A recent writer in the Christian Recorder repeated the old cry, "The A. M. E. Church is in the Throes of Death." In justification of his statement a number of prominent writers on compassion for the church. I do not rise to try to controvert the claims of any of these wise men. But granting all that they say is true. I would find fault with them for not probing a little deeper to the skin and sad state of affairs and offending them. It is useless to seek a remedy for any disease until we have ascertained its origin, whether it be a mere eruption of the skin or whether the blood is impure. Objections will not cure beowulf. I believe that the first great cause of so much rebellion and conspiracy in the church, lies in the whole disregard for law and authority. Who obeys the law in the A. M. E. church? The laymen do not. And one minister undertakes to enforce the law on the members, other ministers undo all that he does. For this reason members must be left to do as they fear for fear that we will lose them. Again ministers are not required to obey the law, and how can they enforce it on others? If a minister does anything wrong, rarely can he be punished. In fact, it is seldom that any attempt is made to punish him. The bishop just transfers him to another conference and thus saves the charges and the bishop has having trial. This is true often, when the complaints are of the vilest nature. Thus law has no terrors for wicked men who have intruded themselves into our ministry. Drunkards, seducers, adulterers and thieves are transferred around the country and kept in first place. The bishop transferring them well knowing the reasons of their character, and the laity looking on at our support of criminals. Since the law is not kept by the ministers, nor enforced against ministers by conferences and bishops, it becomes useless. Again the law is not kept by the bishops, or at least, by many of them. It is constantly violated by the trans- Dr. D. A. Graham fer of bad men, and in the condoning of the crimes of these men. For instance; bishops know certain men to be drunkards, yet they will pass them from one conference to another often after a conference, and they try to find excuse for such action by saying that no charges had been filed against the brother. They often transgress the law in the handling of finances of the annual conference, and the law is never considered. Hence the orphan are neglected, and the supernannate is oppressed. This is seen over and over, and who dares to say a word about the law? The liberty thus taken with the law by the bishops individually, is continued by them collectively when they meet in an annual conference, fraction of the law in the so-called settlement of the Pittsburg trouble, and almost as bad in the New York case. I simply mean to say that the law was wholly disregarded, and the work of annual conference annuled in each case. In previous communications, I have called attention to the utter disregard of all law by the financial board, and need not repeat it here. I will say, however, that I have received attention from the lawless actions of the board by defending Dr. Lampont. That will not work. Criticism is not on Dr. Lampont, the servant of the board, but on the board itself. For several quadrendiums it has been a law and an act of the thousands of dollars, without the authority of the Discipline, and then come to the General Conference to have its actions endorsed. It is now expending thousands of dollars annually against contrary to the published laws of the church. Who dare to deny it? To sum up this point, everybody does as he pleases in our church so he pays, or raises his dollar money, to the church. Our condition is the influence and power of secret societies in the church. It is not easy to seperate this from what I have already said. Nearly all the officers of the local church belongs to societies. When we desire to bring the member to justice we often find that the offender is bound to the officers of the local church because they consider of more importance than the other and it is impossible to secure any earnest effort at prosecution. This is as true in the ministry as in the laity. Preachers and bishop are generally Masons, Odd Fellows or something of the kind, and it is impossible to convict or punish one who belongs to such an order, when the bishop beheld him guilty of a crime that was tried, and when the evidence seemed overwhelming the bishop found a way to save him. That oath, blinding bishops, gamblers, ministers, saloon toughs and Christians into one grand fraternity, was regarded as stronger than their obligation to God and the man, and the adultery and seduction were common charges. This transferred to another good appointment. As shocking this is, it recurs over and over, and everybody knows it. This will be denied of course, by the devotees of secretism, but can be substantiated by giving names and dates in abundance. All bishops are not guilty of such ungodly actions, and the offender wears a weeping day and night over these things and who would almost give their lives to change the awful drift of things. But alas; they seem to be powerless. Often their earnest efforts to reform the church under them, are minimized by the compromising or apologetic position of their associates. What should we do about these things? Should we cause somebody to tell it out, will not help the case. The world know these things to be true, and we are losing influence, and power because of these things. Here is the only remedy. We must enforce the laws of the church, and give it and with everybody. Bishop, presiding officers and officers; conferences, general boards and general officers must recognize the supremacy of the law, no matter how many members we may lose by it. Character and true righteousness must be regarded above financial abillities. We must be spied out of our ministry to not matter how great financiers they may be. Finally, Christians should not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. "For what fellowship hath light with darkness," or what part hath Christ with Belial? Secret societies are the curse of the church, whose bishops and ministers should not be joined with such unruly fruits of darkness. Nor are every minister of bad reputation in the connection is a Mason or an Odd Fellow. They join these orders for the protection they afford them in their devilment. Brethern, God is calling. "Come out from among them and be ye separate." Will we heed the call? Or will we persist in the downward course until we are joined with the church curses of God and blood to the winds. It cannot stand twenty-one years longer at the downward rate. To Whom It May Concern On February 10th, I will publish a full and complete account of the trouble between Rev. R. Seymour and some of the people of St. James' A. M. E. Church, of this city in the Chicago and St. Paul editions of THE APPEAL OF THE LORD, which charged files with Bishop C. T. Shaffer and with Rev. H. H. Thompson, Presiding Elder; also why they could not be filed with the stewards, the action of the Presiding Elder from the time he arrived in the city until the Bishop is elected, include the secret quarterly conference held, the Bishop's action before the congregation on Sunday, Jan. 21st and Monday night, Jan. 22nd, including his decisions. I will also show that the trustees, as a board, never had any responsibility for Bishop or the Presiding Elder that every charge was filed by individuals. I shall show how easy it is, under the Bishop's ruling of a technicality of the discipline, that a preacher in the A. M. E. Church, though his character may be as black as night, may break up homes, collect moneys and refuse to report for the same, may publish slanderous and false statements concerning his members, make false and malicious statements in the pulpit and still go seet free. All of which are true for the benefit of justice and fairness. J. H. Dillingham. St. Paul, Minn., Jan. 26, 1996. Card of Thanks.

S. Butt and Daughter. Birthday Anniversary The beautiful home of Mrs. George Duckett, 687 St. Anthony Ave. was the scene of a very happy gathering on Monday evening, Jan. 29. Mrs. Duckett gave her birthday, by filling her home with happy children, from all over the city. She was assisted by her Sunday School class of boys, who in honor of the occasion, wore badges of white ribbon and date of her birthday in gold letters printed upon them. The receiving hours were from five to eight; during that time fun and frolic ran riot. Many of the parents of the children in the classroom were little people. The settlement of the older ones led to one of regret, that time in her flight would not make them all children "just for tonight." Refreshed hours were served during the receiving hours. The classroom was the recipient of a bushel of presents from the children. Mrs. Carrie Dunn, Mrs. Rosa Pope and Mrs. Mary Summacmea very graciously assisted Mrs. Duckett in caring for the little people's comfort and pleasure. MILLS' LUNCH AND 'SANDWICH ROOM. J. S.

The Irishman has humor, but when it comes to real merriment the negro is always ready for the occasion. One night there stood in front of an auto shop one of that sort of man whom liquor makes a political orator. Every question from the trusts to the condition of the workingmen came in for a lurid if not lucid criticism. Finally the color question came to his mind and in less than ten minutes it was solved with the facility of the reformer. The negroes were deported and running a nation of their own. At this point some small boys armed with a bottle of selitzer began operations, and by that time the profanity of the speaker had reached a high degree of efficiency. All this a time a negro had sat calmly indifferent to the curses heaped upon him, answering with oread grins. At last the speaker turned, saying: "You want to make a fool out of me?"

WHERE FADS ARE VSEFVL WHEN THE EXILE RETURNS JVGGLED THE BRIDAL GIFTS On the island of Costa Rica is the remarkable volcano of Poas. The crater has an altitude of about 8,500 feet. The traveler who makes the ascent, on reaching the lip of the crater, finds himself at the brink of a vast perpendicular-sided pit, at the bottom of which lies a motionless pool of yellowish water. The sense of deadly stillness and desolation is undisturbed by the indication of life. The almost vertical walls are devoid of even a vestige of plant creation; not a bird wings its way through the air; the surface of the pool is without a ripple, and even the human voice sounds strange and incongruous. Suddenly the silence is broken by a great and startling underground rumbling, and a huge column of a dark-colored liquid is thrown to a vast height from a spot near the center of the lake. The column ordinarily rises to a height varying from 250 to 500 feet. Almost instantly a vast cloud of vapor is evolved which surrounds the column and rises to an immense height. A thousand feet below the lip is the lake, or pool, along the shores of which it is necessary to move about with care because of numerous concealed holes filled with a slimy substance, consisting mainly of sulphate of lime with a large excess of sul One of the professors in the University of Nebraska claims that the American people are running too much to fads. He says they are wearing themselves out either chasing after physical culture, golf, tennis, automobility, massage, diet, baths, etc. He denominates these things as fads. The person gets interested in one or more of them and spends a great deal of time and energy pursuing them. No doubt a person can run a thing into the ground and make it harmful, even though of itself it be a good thing. But we believe that every person should have at least one side issue or fad from his regular vocation. After one gives so much time every day to the routine of work, to turn aside for a while and take up golfing, tennis or physical culture, or other outdoor sport, is restful and beneficial. True, some people do become regular cranks on health culture, diet, bathing, athletic sports, etc., but any one of these pursued in moderation, with common sense, can be made of a great deal of use, especially to the person confined in an office all day. God bless your heart, but there it is, The dawn on the hills of Ireland. God's miracles lifting the night's black veil Protect the sweet fair face of my sieeland. This one brief hour pays lavishly back For many years of mourning. I waited for it to come. There is so much joy in returning, Watching out for the hallowed shore, All other attractions scorning O pithuah it, you hear me shout, "You watch out for the hallowed shore." He, no heu Cleana's shaving strand, The surges are grundly heard, And Kerry is pushing his headlands out To give us the kindly greeting. On pinnings that know no drooping And out from the cliffs with welcome And out from the cliffs with welcome charged A million of waves trooping. And does not old Cove look charming there Wetting the wild waves' motion. Leaning its back up against the hills. And the tips of its toes in the ocean. I climb up and lay down the hills, Ah, maybe their chinning up. For it's many a year since I began The life of a western rover. For thirty long summers, ashore mack-ree, A bride from the south entertained, a few evenings ago, some friends, who especially admired a beautiful silver sugar bowl among her wedding presents—"bridal gifts," as she called them, in the southern idiom. "Whom is that from?" asked one who is intimate enough to make such an inquiry. The bride hesitated a moment. "It's really hard to tell," she said, finally. "It's partly from aunt Caroline and partly from a girl in Colorado and partly from a gentleman in Jack's office. "You see, aunt Caroline sent me a dozen spoons, and they were the only spoons out of eleven dozen that weren't marked. My friend in Colorado for an order on a store in Baltimore for anything I wanted to select, and the gentleman in Jack's office sent a carving set. There were Way back in the fifties, when the railroad was first built through the western Vermont valley, Daniel Curtis was made station master at North Dorset, a small hamlet about ten miles from Manchester. "Uncle Dan," as he was familiarly called, kept the tavern, was postmaster and the important man of the place. North Dorset was a flag station; that is, trains did not stop unless they had passengers to leave, or a red flag was displayed, indicating that there were passengers to board the train. In case there was no one to get on, then the agent was to display a white flag. Both colors were rolled on one stick—the red on one end and the white on the other. "Uncle Dan" stood alone on the platform, when the first express train over the road could be seen for over a mile on a straight line fast a Nikola Tesla, the noted electrician and inventor, was showing a group of young ladies over his magnificent laboratory. In front of an ordinary reading light he paused and said: "When this type of light came out I had in my employ a young fellow called Charles. "Charles, the first time he saw one of these lights burning, said to me: phuric acid. This hardens in a few moments when exposed to the air, and consequently the pits are covered with slight shells that render it almost impossible to distinguish between them and solid ground. If a foot goes through this thin crust it will be found that in a few days the shoe will be destroyed, as the seams cannot resist the acid action. The lake at closer view is discovered to be covered with clouds of vapor and it is impossible to see for any distance. Among other gases, sulphur dioxide is present in considerable quantities, and at times the smell becomes almost unbearable. At close range the water is grayish in color, and it is so acid that it almost burns the tongue when tasted. Any dark cloth moistened with the liquid instantly becomes red and is ultimately destroyed. The temperature at the shore, while varying considerably, ranged around 115 degrees Fahrenheit. During one of the greatest eruptions known a tremendous column of dark liquid rose to an estimated height of 2,000 feet and was about 300 feet in diameter. The waves produced on the lake by such an outburst are formidable, and long after the eruption has ceased the whole crater is filled with the roar of the troubled waters. It brings into play the muscles that are unused and it drives from his mind all business cares and sets another train of thought going. Reasonable attention to diet and bathing is also sure to improve health. The woman who is confined to her home the larger part of the day with housework will find golf or tennis or an hour spent in physical culture a relief to tired muscles and nerves. Change and variety in our daily routine is necessary to our well-being. No matter what our regular vocation may be, it is harmful to get into a rut. Just simply going through a treadmill of duty day after day with no letup. One should always try to bring into each day some new activity, some new train of thought. It is not a wise thing to get into a certain groove and just simply wear one's life away. Monotony kills quicker than anything else. We should have our daily work, in which we are interested, put our energy and enthusiasm into it and do it with all our might. Then, when that is done, turn to some other form of activity or rest—Medical Talk. Those hills that I feast my eyes on Never met my vision save when they are in memory's dim horizon.

"Nobody sent a sugar bowl and I wanted one worse than anything else. Aunt Caroline lives in Baltimore, you know, and her spoons were from the same store that I had an order on from Colorado. So I just sent them the spoons and the order and asked them to send me a sugar bowl of the same value. They wrote that they didn't have any sugar bowls as cheap as that but were sending me four to select from at different prices. "I wanted this sugar bowl, which was one of the four sent, so I made Jack take the carving set to the store where it was bought and get the money for it, and that made just enough to pay for the sugar bowl. Wasn't that fine?" And all the women present declared the bride was a genius.—New York Globe. proaching the station, a few minutes behind schedule time. He hurriedly unrolled the flag and displayed the red signal to the watching engineer. A shriek from the engine called down the brakes! In an instant "Ucle Dan" rolled it up and waved the white. Off went the brakes! Quick as before he reversed the stick, and out came the red. The train, with the confused engineer, came to a stop a few rods past the station. Backing up, the conductor stepped out, with the hurried remark: "Well, Ucle Dan, who you've got to go?" "Not anyone," was the reply. "Then why did you stop us?" The old gentleman, still grasping the flag stick, the perspiration streaming down his face and a dazed look in his eye, replied: "I didn't know but what there might be somebody on who wanted to git off." "He frowned and shook his head. "Very good," he said, 'very good. But I'll be hanged if I don't think it takes more than electricity to make the hairpin burn in the bottle.'"
