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-It gives everyone an unbiased and energetic START OF FLORIDA FEVD WELDED THE BROKEN RAIL JVST THOUGHT OF CLIENT DIVINE MISSION OF SORROW VOL. 22. NO. 7. "Speaking about feuds," said John L. Humphries of Tampa, Fla. "I think that the strangest, in its inception, is one between two families in Marion county, in our state. It came about this way. You know in our state sometimes land disappears during the night and a man wakes up to its garden a great sinkhole. This is, of course, due to the fact that Florida is buried in coral and not very substantially built at that time, in some of the interior courtyards. Hard Redding had a nice patch of Irish potatoes, and Oliver Vance, his neighbor, had what he called a farm and near the house was a sinkhole. "One night Redding's potato patch disappeared and the next morning he had a nice large sinkhole filled with water where his garden patch was. The same night Vance, who had a sinkhole when he went to bed, woke up to find the hole was filled with dirt, in which there seemed to be a lot of bubbles about the size of a man's fist. Naturals about the surprised. He examined the bubbles in the potatoes, and after calling the family up they got to work and gathered in six bushels of potatoes ready for market. When the 8:23 limited pulled into Wheatley, in this county, one evening, it was discovered, says the Le Seur correspondent of the St. Paul Pioneer Press, that one of the rear wheels on the last coach was broken, a piece having been split off from one side so that there was a slightly flat place on the wheel, and, as it was feared, the broken wheel in pounding over the track had broken a wheel. Only by a miracle was the 8:56 local saved from being wrecked. Three miles south of Bentley the flattened 'wheel had broken out a secession of rail about seven feet long—from the split, so badly that it was torn from the split, across the rails, where it was found before the local was due by Willy Schultz, a boy of 14 years, who lives on a farm near by. The lad knew that the local soon would be along and he was frightened. He put the piece of rail in place and then started down the track toward the approaching train, running as fast as he could. He had not gone twenty feet, however, when there came a blinding flash of lightning from a dark cloud that covered the sky, and he was struck down Dr. McBryer, who was very fond of speedy horses, had purchased a new one that had a mark of 2:10, and also possessed some very headstrong ways. Nevertheless, the doctor was proud of his new trotter, and was anxious that his friends should enjoy with him its bursts of speed. So about a week after the thoroughbred had been added to his stable he invited Judge Rodgers to take a drive with him. The judge said he felt the need of scout fresh air and would go gladi. They started out of town at a livestock clip. In the country the doctor gave the horse his head, and the buggy rattled over the road at a hair-raising rate of speed. The judge elicited his jaws and manfully determined not to ask the doctor to slow down, knowing that if he did so he would be accused of lacking nerve. At last, about five miles out, the doctor pulled up and turned around preparatory to starting home. "How do you like him, judge?" asked the doctor. "Fine! Goer ever I ever saw. Great In a recent trial in Tokyo it was disclosed that a certain Osasuburo Noguchi had killed three persons under remarkable circumstances. He was in love with Soye, the sister of a well known Japanese poet, Ichitaro Noguchi. The latter, who was afflicted with leprosy, disliked the man. To win the regard of the poet, and at the same time to protect his lady love from the disease Osasuburo attempted to cure the leper. He had heard it said that human flesh would cure leprosy. Early in March, 1902, he also read in a book a statement of the same old superstition, eq'd to kill a boy in a neighborhood. On the night of March 27 he caught an 11-year-old boy, named Kawai, as the boy was going home from an errand. Clasping closely to his breast the face of the young boy he smothered and killed him. He brought the corpse info a byway and toore off a lump of flesh from the hip of the boy. He then goned out the eyeballs; it is sup- Upon my lips she laid her touch divine, And merry speech and careless laugh- ing. She fixed her moloncholy eyes on mine, And not not be denied.

"Earth's gladness shall not satisfy your soul, This beauty of the world in which you live; The crowning grace that sanctifies the whole That I alone can give." THE APPEAL. "That's where the trouble began. Redding claimed that under the law where a man's stock wanderons on to the premises of another, without his fault, he can go after it. He argued that the same doctrine applied to potatoes which had wandering habits. For he was very sure that the potatoes on the Vance farm belonged to him. Vance and his friends invoked the principle of law that a man owns his heaven to hades and he refused to eat potatoes for the benefit of his neighbor. "All that happened ten years ago," continued Mr. Humphries, "and the Reddings and the Vances are still armed against each other. Two or three skirmishes have taken place between the parties and one of the Vance boys, 18 years old, was wounded by fire from the enemy. "They have never spoken to each other since that eventful night ten years ago. Lawyers and politicians have gone out to help them settle their difficulties, but they were obdurately killed twenty years as it has already Florida, and Marion county will have a feud equal to the best that Kentucky has ever produced."-Denver Republican. unconscious and nearly bereft of life. It must have been ten minutes before he regained consciousness, for when he did so he saw the train coming toward him at great speed. He staggered to his feet, the remembrance of his hand in his mind, and waved his hands, the engine did not stop, and just as it was about to crush him, he stepped from the rails and the train sped on. But the engineer at the last moment had seen the boy step out of the engine's way, and, throwing on the levee, stopped the train after it had run several hundred feet beyond the break in the rail. The engineer jumped down and came running back to see what the trouble was, young Schultz told him and showed him the place where the rail had been broken; but now it was perfectly sound. The flash of lightning that struck Schultz down spent the main portion of its force on the track in the immediate locality where the fracture was, and had even been filled with the broken rail in place at both ends. The track was as safe and solid as it was the day it was laid. pleasure to ride behind him," declared the judge. "Well, on the way back, I'll just show you what real trotting is." The horse covered the first mile as if it were spurting down a home-stretch to win a $10,000 purse. The judge's hat was jarred off and his hair blew straight back from his head. Still he would not cry quits. Then an automobile whizzed by and the horse was frightened. With the bit in its teeth, it took immediate charge of the driving party, and neither doctor nor judge ever traveled so fast as they did behind that horse. Still, the judge, who had not or merely pulled taut on the reins, apparently chirped so softly to the house would not show any signs of alarm. They reached the edge of town, and the horse seemed to put on more speed. From side to side of the street they bounced, and then the judge leaned over to the doctor and gasped: "Doc, if you'd just as soon, I'll get out at my office. I've just thought of a client whom I promised to see at this hour!"—Chicago Tribune. posed that this was with some idea of concealing the motives of the murder. On the following morning he bought a small cooking pot and konro (portable earthenware) furnace, hired a boat and rowed out to sea. There he made soup with the flesh, and putting it into a bottle, threw overboard all other objects. On his way home he bought a bottle of ordinary soup and served the mixture of these two soups to the poet and Soye. The mess had no effect upon the poet's leprosy. At a little later time Osaburo married Soye. Soon, however, the brother-in-law quarreled. After vainly seeking reconciliation Osaburo stole into the house one day and strangled the sick man. Some time afterward Osaburo emitted a druggist into the woods, strangled him and took $175 which the man had. This crime was traced to the murderer and the investigation which followed laid bare his other crimes.

Mount Vernon a Shrine Toward Which Turns Every Loyal American Heart A hundred years have passed since Death, entering the upper chamber at Mount Vernon, held his hand upon the heart of Washington by throbbing; but that the love and veneration with which he inspired his countrymen has known no diminution is proven every recurring anniversary of his birth. Perhaps even more conclusive evidence is to be found in the hundreds who daily visit the historic spot, and in the absence of merry-making which these throngs. They come as pilgrimage, speaking in subdued voices as they pass into room, or standing in awe silence before the tomb which holds all that with money earned by the pupils of the St. Paul schools. They have since been put in working order and continued to turn out beautiful fabrics.

There is an air of such deep repose about the place, despite the ebb and flow of the tide of humanity, that squirrels, with feathery tails erect, frolic on the lawn in delightful blooms, and feed on the branches of trees, or perch in on stable eaves, and along the upper edges of the low, half doors. Glancing over one of these one seems to see in his accustomed stall Washington's war horse, Nelson, who after the battle of Yorktown, was never allowed to feel the weight of a saddle, and to hear his whining response to his master's call.

In the dwellings-house the apartment coming first in order is the banquet hall, the second is the dining-room in New York. The elaborately carved marble mantel in this room exhibits interesting proof of the power of an awakened conscience. A dog's head, broken off by some ruthless relic hunter, was afterward anonymously returned, and has since—with the aid of coment—been restored to its original form. The clock, which regulated the life Mount Vernon, still ticks, telling the Washington on the Porch at Mount Vernon hour as veneriously now as then; while on the wall to the right of it hangs the portrait of Washington which Rembrandt Peale painted with such feverish energy, and which was devoted to the association by his heirs. Mayflower stands beneath the picture, and near it is the stool on which Washington knelt at Christ Church, Alexandria, and another used by Nellie Custis. Other objects to which the attention is directed are a model of the Bastille made of the stone of which the prison was composed, and presented by Lafayette; a British flag captured by Washington and donated by General Grant, with many relics of the French delightful nations of the building opposite the banquet hall is occupied by the library, with its valuable collection of books and souvenirs. It is in the rooms which these apartments flank, however, ranged on either side of a broad hall, that one is brought most closely in touch with the family life at Mount Vernon. Nellie Custis' music room, in which the general's life lies upon the harpschord which he presented her on the occasion of her marriage, recalls one of the delightful nations of his life—his connection with the adopted daughter. Here she beguiled him with the songs which he loved or played the accompaniments to his mun Washington and His Generals. sic on the flute. In the dining-room, where the family party was so often reinforced by guests, is an original piece—an old Chippendale sideboard—which descended to Mrs. Robert E.

The most noteworthy object in the west parlor is the carpet, made for Washington by order of Louis XVI, and still in a perfect state of preservation, although more than one hundred years old. "It is of velvet, the circular center of palace, upon which is stamped an American eagle, with the motto, "E Pluribus Unum," beneath, being surrounded by a rich green background, plentifully sprin- Page kled with yellow stars.

On this floor, in the chamber occupied by Nellie Custis, is the mirror which so often reflected her beauty, and the steps, by which she climbed to her high-testered bed. Here, too, in the Lafayette room, is the four-poster, in which the Marquis slept on the occasion of his visits to Mount Vernon and the dressing table before he adjusted the unbecoming red wig. Other apartments, called by the names of the states which care for them, are grouped about these. Each has an interest peculiar to itself; but above and beyond them all in sacred associations and hallowed memories is the room in which Washington breathed his last. The bed upon which more than one hundred years ago he lay dying stands in the same spot to-day. Near it is a light table stained with the marks of medicine glasses, and at its foot the chair in which he sat while wife sat watching through all the weary hours, and upon which, when all was over, lay her open Bible. One must climb another flight of stairs to reach the room occupied by Mrs. Washington after this—a low, narrow roof room, very cold in winter, for there was no way of heating it, and hot when the summer sun beat upon it. Through its single dormer window, however, she could look out upon her husband's tomb, and there she remained until the silver cord which bound her to life was loosed and she went to join him in his long sleep by the river.

MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY THE APPEAL STEADILY GAINS BECAUSE: 4- It is the organ of ALL Afro-Americans. 5- It is not controlled by any ring or clique. 6- It asks no support but the people's. James W. Davidson, consul at Antung, one of the important posts in China, has resigned his place because the compensation, $3.500" was not sufficient for him to maintain his station in competition with the consuls of other nations. The story of the building of Manassas Industrial School is almost the life story of Miss Jennie Dean. Her father and mother were slaves, but the father and mother were educated early life. After the war he settled down on a farm near Sudley Springs. Va. on the actual battleground of Bull Run. It was his ambition to own this farm, but he died before the purchase of the farm. He well-grown girl, went into service in Washington, her wages going to pay the balance remaining on the farm, that her mother might be assured of a home. Life in Washington at length opened Jennie Dean's eyes to the needs as well as the possibilities of her people. Her thoughts were continually with "my people at home," and her mind was tortured with dreams and plans of helping them. Her first wife was, the founding of a Sunday school. The people were all extremely poor, especially in money. In their community little money changes hands, as a matter of fact. Everything is exchanged in trade. In years the Sunday school was kept up, and finally the idea of inaugurating a training school came to Jennie Dean. She said to her people: "I will go out and raise the money to build a school where your children may be educated in the trades." In three months she returned to Virginia, where she met in the hands of a friend, a woman who has taken the warmest interest in the work ever since. With sublime confidence Miss Dean selected the site of her school, a farm of 125 acres, admirably located on the Southern railroad, three miles from the town of Manassas. The price was $2650 but it did not dawn on her. She succeeded in interesting several influential men and women in her scheme. A board of directors was formed, and a systematic effort put forth to raise the amount. A six months' option on the land was secured, and in February, 1882, Miss Dean moved to the Manassas Industrial School. She had letters to Dr. Edward Everett Hale, who helped her generously by issuing a circular letter from his office calling for $1.500, the balance on the farm. The following June Miss Dean returned triumphantly with the money. She sent out over 100 graduates who are successful in trades and as farmers, domesticies and housekeepers. The S.

When Cullom was Governor, In the administration of the State government Governor Cullom developed the highest qualities of statesmanship, combined with the greatest degree of business sense. His was a business administration, and, by the exercise of the strictest economy in all branches of the public service during the profile debt of the State was paid. It was during his administration, too, that the additional penitentiary at Chester and the additional hospital for the insane at Kankakee were constructed. He was a faithful friend of the State institutions and not a breath of scandal attached to the construction or operation of any of them while he was in the executive mansion. Men of the highest character and standing were selected for important positions, and a special view to their executive authority fitness to perform the duties of their respective positions. There was no executive interference with the several boards of trustees, commissioners and heads of departments, in the organization and in the administration. The various boards were held accountable for results and were given the fullest powers by the executive. Wherever the interests of the State fell within the purview of the executive department, the most patient and attention was bestowed upon them. To preside over a great commonwealth like that of Illinois, surpassing in wealth, importance and resources many of the minor States of Europe, and greater in population than the major states, he was elected President, in such a way that every department and bureau shall work in concert in the development of the moral and material progress of a mighty people, requires not only the ending hand of practical experience, but also rare wisdom in its collection of great ideas, adapted to secure the desired result. His was recognized as the very best of administrations, and so satisfies to the people of the State was this thoroughly patriotic and business-like administration that he was recommending to the first and only man ever so honored in the history of the State.

Distrust all who would have any one class placed before any other. Other republics have fallen because the unscrupulous have rehabilitated the people as a whole—President Roosevelt's speech at Little Rock, Ark. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1906. MR. TAWNEY OF MINNESOTA. The press reports announce that the former Chairman of the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee has fully decided to retire therefrom, and in the event a new chairman shall be chosen as the successor of Hon. J. W. Whitehead of Wisconsin, no one will be hon. James A. Tawney more ability than Hon. James A. Tawney. Mr. Tawney is one of the foremost Republican leaders now in Congress, and is a vigorous and tactful organizer. He represents that young and stalwart members of the Republican party which have done so much in the party to keep the party in power. He is a plight, blunt American citizen, and his familiarity with the game of successful American politics is little less than the vote when he knows how to get the candidate to have had considerable experience in the congressional contests as a lieutenant to Mr. Babcock. He is adroit, and knows the political map of the country second to no man in political life. Should he be the presidentialhip of the Republican Congressional committee, he must have minute knowledge of things and men would prove a telling factor when the fight begins. He is still a young man, and would naturally attract the young and sturdy element in the Republican Party. He is liked by all the United States.

We hope Mr. Tawney will be chosen, and if he is it will add new zest to the rank and file of the party—the Afro-American rank and file—in the Mr. Tawney has climbed to his presi- dent political eminence by sheer hard labor in the political field, and represents in Congress the first district of the State of Pennsylvania, the de- dent of that State, however, but migrated there from Pennsylvania in 1877 settling in Winna, Minnesota, where he has resided ever since. In 1890 he was elected to the State Senate of the State, and then elected for the first time to the Stategress. He has been re-elected every time since, and his talents as an organizer were fully recognized when chosen several years ago as the Republican "whip" of the House of Repre- sententary. His star still seems to be in the cen- cency, for, at the opening of the present Congress, Speaker Cannon selected Mr. Tawney for the chairmanhip of the great Appropriation Com- pareship, requiring, in this committee, executive ability in the man who holds chairmanship than any other in the House of Representatives. The Republican party, therefore, could make his choice for the head of his Congress' campaign Committee than this astute branch of the lower branch of Congress. A BRILLIANT DESCRIPTION As all the world knows, one of Rev. Thomas Dixon's most brilliant and magnificent productions is the description in the Leopard's Spoils of Miss Stiles's gown. We are delighted at the chance to reproduce this gem of purer ray serene in THE APPEAL, as follows: "She was dressed in a morning gown of soft red material, trimmed old cream lace. **** This combination and creamy white, with the bodice cut and creamy white, the lines of her beautiful white hair, the great mass of dark hair rising in graceful curves from her full, round neck, heightened her beauty to an extraordinary degree. As she walked, her dress, outlining her graceful figure, seemed part of her very being and to be imbued with her soul." NOW The APPEAL contends that the above is worthy of comparison with Lincoln's Gettsyburgh speech or with the most elevated strains of Ishmael; that it is grand, gloomy and peculiar. The Chicago Inter-Ocean publishes the above the criticism of one Miss Reed, a Chicago novelist who fails to appreciate a good thing, as follows: "A red morning gown, trimmed with cream lace, cut low—yea gods and little fishes." Miss Reed is moved to exclaim: "Where were the authorities taken? Where was the Salie taken to the detention hospital pennning an inquiry into her sanity?" Oi course it is up to Bro. Dixon to vindicate, elucidate and illustrate Miss Sallie's red gown, cream lace and all, and to show the propriety of its having been "cid low." And we imagine he can demonstrate her sanity more easily than he can his own. At the conclusion of the performance of the Clansman in New York, the author, Tom Dixon, made the following address: "I was told that this play would stand in the south, but that it would be rejected in the north. Your reception tonight has convinced me that there is north and no south, but that we are one people." According to this we are one people and the Clansman is a summary of our code of ethics. But the audience that HON. JAMES A. TOWNEY. Probable Chairman of Republican Congressional Campaign Committee. attended the performance of the Clansman was a very small fraction of the people of the North and probably composed for the greater part of the Southern refugees of whom New York is full. Tommy bases his optimism upon a mere straw. In the death of Paul Laurence Dunbar at his home in Dayton, Ohio, last week, we lose one of our greatest poets. He was a gifted writer and was the author of several books of poems of unusual literary merit. Hon. George B.

BIRTHPLACE OF FREEDOM MONTREAL MONTREAL MONTREAL AUGUST 1900 Historic arch to be erected at Cambridge by Daughters of the Revolution. THE BARN Plans for the historic arch which is to be erected at one of the entrances to the old Cambridge (Mass.) common by the national society, Daughters of the Revolution, have been approved, and the work will begin immediately. When the plans were first presented to Mayor Daly of Cambridge the proposed site for the arch was at the entrance to the common near the historic Washington elm. However, after the various committees had been consulted in the matter the site was changed to the entrance at the intersection of Gardner street and Massa and Garnett street, very nearly opposite Christ church. The plan for the arch is suggestive of colonial architecture, flanked on either side by law walls, that form a recess. On each of the side walls are low stone seats. Between the two large gateposts is a wrought iron arch, having in the center the seal of Massachusetts. The arch will cover an area 20 feet in length and 10 feet in depth. The gate opening is about eight feet and the arch will be 15 feet high. Granite is to be used for the stone work, and the recess is to be paved with granolithic blocks. On the walls at either side of the gate posts there will be two handsome bronze tablets setting forth the purpose of the memorial. On one tablet is the seal of the society and figures representing Justice and Prosperity, with the inscription: "Near this spot Washington took command of the conventional army July 5th, 1775." "Directed by the Daughters of the Revolution" (the date to be added). The other tablet has a portrait of Washington, with the continental flags, and figures representing peace and war.

"Napoleon's cynical definition of history as 'a lie agreed upon' has a direct application to the general acceptance of a most inaccurate portrait of Washington. Whatever the father of his country may have looked like, he certainly did not resemble the popular 'Stuart.'" This rather startling assertion is made by William Curris Taylor the text of an interesting study in the Booklovers Magazine. His method of proof is "to secure a scientific confirmation of the agreements and comparative effacement of the disagreements of the original artists" for whom Washington actually sat. After a careful study of over 4000 engravings and a number of original paintings and various coins at the mint, a final reference to the work of Washington in three applications being made. "The selections for the several groups were not arbitrary, but were guided only by the point of view of the features." The resulting Washington is remarkable in its definiteness of outline and lifelike appearance. The reproductions of the original paintings which accompany the article are very helpful in following Mr. Taylor's interesting discussion of the individual conceptions of the different artists. Washington gave at least forty-five sittings to over a score of aspirants, besides posing for several shadow silhouettes. How he regarded this tax on comfort he remitted in a letter to the touches of the painter's pencil that I am 'now altogether at their beck and sit like Patience on a moment while they are delineating the lines of my face. At first I was as impatient at the request and as restive under the operation as a coil is TAVERN WORTHY Just about nine miles up the De- ware river from Trenton stands an old house, untenanted and lonely, where only ghosts and memories keep Christmas revels in this year of grace, but where, 130 years ago, there was held the most mementous Christmas The idea of this arch was suggestive to the national society, Daughters of the Revolution, by Mrs. Adeline F. Fitz, regent of the state society of Massachusetts. The reasons presented by Mrs. Fitz were these: It was in New England the American revolution had its birth. It was in Cambridge that Washington took command of the American army, whose integrity, skill and undaunted patriotism accomplished our country's freedom. "Again we feel," said Mrs. Fitz, "it places a memorial in a community where thousands would gather inspiration and thousands of visitors from all lands revert the needs of the founders of our republic to the birthplace of freedom would be a glorious accomplishment for our society." This recommendation having received the approval of the general society, Mrs. Fitz brought the matter before Mayor Daly of Cambridge, asking that a site for the proposed memorial arch be granted at the entrance to the old Cambridge common, near the Washington elm. The matter was referred to the city council and the have since been under consideration by the municipal art and park commissions and the other committees having jurisdiction in such matters. Notwithstanding that up to the press time the plans have been somewhat tentative, during the past few months something over $100 was raised toward the fund of $5,000 necessary to complete the memorial. As the members of the society in all parts of the country have undertaken to raise this sum as a part of their patriotic work the coming year, it is hoped that it will be realized early in the spring. of the saddle; now no dray moves more readily to the till than I to the painter's chair." "Few distinguished men of our day," Mr. Taylor asserts. "If they were painted by so many different artists, would show without variation in such a range of portraits the kindly pases of character which are reflected from the canvases that we have been considering. We can no longer believe those historians who tell us of the habitual statelliness and reserve of Washington. When not on his professional dignity, he must have been geniality itself." HOUSE OF WASHINGTON RELICS Hasbrouck Home in Newburg, N. Y. Full of Revolution Reminder. The beautiful city of Newburg, on the Hudson river, has honored itself and conferred a prieessle boon upon the state by preserving the old Hasbrouck house, which served as Washington's headquarters from April 4, 1782 to Aug. 18, 1783. Built by Jonathan Hasbrouck in 1750, it has the comfortable look of the unpretentious story-and-a-half house of the period, and stands firmly on the sloping bank of the river. The walls of the house are of stone, two Dutch stool or porch opens fashioned first floor, with its six rooms in addition to the kitchen. The ceilings are low, with heavy timbers of hewn wood, which support the floors of the upper rooms, originally only four in number. The sloping roof is sustained by long timbers of roughly hewn cedar wood, which still gives out the pleasant oak peculiar to that tree. The interior is very necessary, the house to-day is very nearly just what it was when Gen. and Mrs. Washington occupied it with their military family. OF PRESERVATION gathering this continent has ever seen, when the heavy booted aides of Washington came trapmiling in, taking a swig or two of mine host's steaming punch before, with a Merry Christmas, they hurried cut again on their way to Trenton.

Information has reached the city of the death at Baton Rouge, La. on last Saturday, Feb. 10th, of Mr. John H.

The disgraceful factional trouble which has existed in St. James A. M. E. church for some time, culminated in a sort of pitched battle at the church last Sunday morning. Rev. Seymour had preached an excellent lesson to all the local laymen, all things seemed to be moving smoothly, but when the trustees undertook to take charge of the money collected trouble began, and a regular fight took place. Several blows were exchanged and a regular panic struck the congregation. The fight did not last long with the church telephoned for reached the church they found the fighting all ended, and no arrests were made. At the evening services the trustees were allowed to take charge of the money collected without any trouble. Rev. Seymour have met the evening meeting and the local preserver Hardin, conducted the services. The trustees have notified the stewards that they must find some one other than Rev. Seymour to fill the pulpit as he will not be allowed to do so any longer, under the existing circumstances, considerably worked up over this church trouble and it is sincerely hopped some definite settlement will shortly be arrived at.

Hard and Fast Rule Impossible It is surprising how many people there are in this world who want to increase the discomforts of life. There is always bobbing up some professor or propagandist who informs us that everything we have ever done is wrong and that the only road to physical salvation is to follow his own example. Now comes a man from Chicago—where more things which aren't so in nature in the world—and tells us that we must not eat soup, pie, pancakes, puddings and cold meats, except ham, and apparently make our principal diet spinach, asparagus, lettuce and onions. Probably most persons eat more than is good for them and it is certainly not good for speaking, food is not well cooked. But he lay down a law for the human race is absurd. Philadelphia Inquirer. Salt and Civilization Salt has had much influence in shaping the civilization and exploration of the world. It is believed by many that the oldest trade routes were created for the salt trade. This was certainly the case with the caravan routes in the Sahara, while the mines of North India were built on large trade before the time of Alexander. Salt, too, has played a considerable part in the distribution of man. He was forced to migrate to places where it could be obtained. This brought him to the seashore, where he gabed his ideas of maritime commerce. Lately, the preservative effects of salt on oceanic voyages possible and then opened up the world to commerce and civilization. Reclaiming the Sabara Desert in the Sahara Desert. As a result of recent investigative investigations it may be possible to revise our ideas of the barrenness of the Sahara desert, since it has been found by boring that there are numerous springs which rise to the surface and make possible a system of irrigation. In the territory to the south of Algeria a government irrigation survey has been at work making a series of deep wells of which water are as deep as 2000 feet. In this considerable water has been encountered and in certain oases already twice the usual amount of water has been made available for the palm groves.—Harper's Weekly. Quaint Ceremony Maintained There are still one or two houses in England where quaint ceremonies of older days are strictly maintained. Lowther Castle, Pennith, is an instance in point. One picturesque incident always takes place every evening, even when the Earl and Countess are dinging quite alone. Lord Lonsdale delights first. "The King, next addressing Lonsdale, to Ladies." He then sits down and her ladyship rising, proposes with equal gravity "The Gentleman." Wouldn't Take the Office. Patrick Plunkett, a well-known Irish man of Portland, Me., wished to be elected an officer of some well-known society. The members having assembled one day, he arose and said: "I nominate Patrick Plunkett." Seeing that nobody moved, he again arose and said: "But they failed to notice me. This time he cried out: "But be d—d if I take it." MINNEAPOLIS DOINGS IN AND ABOUT THE GREAT "FLOUR CITY."

On Saturday evening, Feb. 10, the home of Mr. Walter Smith was the scene of a pretty little surprise birthday party given in honor of the eleventh birthday of Miss Eunice Smith. Over forty-five guests were present including about a dozen from St. Paul. Dancing, games, a prize entertainment for the children, and whist formed entertainment for the children, merry with their little hostess from six until nine. Little Miss Eunice received many pretty little gifts. Few Achievements impossible. The men and women at the summit reached their positions seldom by a pencil, but nearly always by their puff. When the webster was speaking at Bunker Hill, the webster endangered those seated thereon, and Webster seeing their peril, shouted to the people, "Keep back." "It is impossible," cried some one in the crowd. The orator exclaimed, "Nothing is impossible at Bunker Hill." And few things are impossible to persevering and invincibly determined American men and women. Like the postage stamp—stick till you get there—New York Press. He Was Bad Marksman. A man once possessed a valuable sporting dog which was extremely clever in the retrieving of dead and wounded game. It had, in fact, never been known to lose a bird when brought down by the gun. The owner, however, was a remarkably bad shot and one day, on firing both barrels hastily at a rabbit which ran unexpectingly into the fire, a helpful howl. The next moment his dog appeared carrying a black object in his mouth and laid it carefully at his master's feet. The animal had retrieved his own tail—London Globe. O'Brien's Favorite Boyhood Nook.

They were entertained by the Silver Leaf Club, Mr. and Mrs. James A. Warren, Mr. and Mrs. Holmes and a host of other friends.

A Brilliant Wedding of Chicago Society Young Folks The marriage of Miss Bessie Warren to Mr. Fernando Weisger which occurred at residence of the bride's parents Mr. and Mrs. James A. Warren, 3421 Dearborn St. on Wednesday, February 7, 1906 at 5 o'clock P. M. was one of the greatest, if not the greatest, Society event that ever the oldest inhabitants of Chicago remember. The high contracting parties were well known throughout the length and breadth of several states by many friends, the bride, being a great favorite in Chicago's Musical and literary circles having graduated from the high school and from the Chicago College of Music, and was for a long time organist of Quinn Chapel A. M. E. Church, the Weisger coming from the best school in the heart of the Blue grass region, it is no wonder that the oldest inhabitants say that the Warren-Weisger Nupidals were the greatest that ever occurred in Chicago, because there were so many presents and so many people. The wedding occurred promptly at 5 o'clock according to arrangement, Dr. A. J. Carey officiating, assisted by Bishop C. T. Shaffer. The spacious parchors and drawing room were decorated in pink and white. Enscribed in an alco off from the rear parlor surrounded by huge palms sat Professor Stewart's famous Orchestra and at a given signal Mendelssohn's Wedding March was played which indicated to the great throng present that Chicago's favorite daughter was at Hymen's altar. The bride and groom stood under a canopy of pink and white carnations. On one side stood the groom and on the other stood Mrs. Warren, the bride's mother; and Mr. Wm. A Lawrence her uncle, while the bridal party entered in the following order: Misses India Demming, Estella Hammond, Arville Williams, Jennie Turner, Hazel Hodge bearer, and the bride, in the arm of her father Mr. James A. Warren, The best man was Mr. John Duncan, of Danville Ky, and the groomsman was Mr. Theodore Cowan. The uswers were Messrs. S. White, M. Bish, A. Crutcher, R. Cheatham and S. Carter. The bride's gown was a creation of white liberty satin, and chiffon decorated with point lace and pearls, made demi-train. She carried a shower boquet of illies of the valley and wore a white tulle veil draped back from the face. Mrs. Warren was attired in a gown of pearl gray silk, trimmed in point lace and pale blue velvet. The bridesmaids all wore creations of white Mousselle silk and carrying boquets of pink roses. The gentlemen being all dressed in full regulation style. The ceremony was very beautiful and when concluded Mr. and Mrs. Weisiger were presented to their host of friends who were ready and eager to extend congratulations. After the wedding the reception was extended 10 o'clock during which time over five hundred men and women were served with refreshments and offered the wishes to the bride and groom. The street between 34th and 35th on Dearborn was lined with carriages until that hour. As to the presents words are inadequate to express their number and beauty, as they came from almost every state in the Union. During the reception the orchestra discured sweet strains of music to the delight of all present. There was a canopy from the door to the carriage entrance, and everything to the most minute detail fully carried out in up-to-date comfort and pleasure of all the guests. The affair was par-excellence and will never be forgotten by Chicago Society. Mr. and Mrs. Weisiger are now at home to their friends at 3421 Dearborn St. Smiley Served.

BELLS OF "MERRIE ENGLAND." Peals Still Rung Have Significance From Owen Times In some parts of the country the bell which tolls the old year out is called the "Old Lad's Passing Bell." In western England the bell peals merrily on "Oak Apple Day," to celebrate the escape of King Charles at Boscobel. Another bell, rung at the beginning of Lent, is known as "Pancake Bell," because in old-time phrase, it "summons people away from their pancakes to confession and fasting." A lively peal of bells is often rung at the end of the Sunday morning service and is called "Pudding Bell." Perhaps its purpose is to announce to the stay-at-homes that service is over and that the pudding may come out of the oven. Every night at five minutes past 9, "Great Tom," the great bell of Christ church college at Oxford, booms out its ponderous note 101 times. This particular number was chosen in accordance with the number of students at the foundation of the college—Youth's Companion. POINTS OF THE PILES BURNED. Remarkable Case of Spontaneous Ignition Recently Noted. A remarkable case of spontaneous ignition that recently occurred in erecting the walls of the new Rotterdam quay is related by the Technische Dundschau. Rams had been in use there for some time, which by 180 or 200 strokes per minute caused a steady advance of the piles. The foundation was such that the pillars had to be driven through the quicksand down to the solid ground. On withdrawing some piles, the points of the latter were found, owing to the enormous friction, to have been charred entirely and heated to such a point as to begin burning spontaneously on coming in contact with the air; nor could iron shoes prevent this spontaneous ignition. When leaving the piles in the ground this ignition would not result in any damage, the charring remaining confined to the surface, and the heat being rapidly carried away in the moist surroundings.
