UNCLE SAM NOW TAKES ALLIGATOR UNDER WING CAPTURING A BIG ALLIGATOR ALIVE. A Perilous Undertaking for Any One Not an Expert. VOL. 22. NO. 48. UNCLE SAM NOW ALLIG. Fights for Protection of and I A century ago the waters and lands now in the possession of the United States government were the habitat of the world's biggest fish, animals and reptiles. The buffalo was monarch of animals that roamed the plains, the seal was worth more, money than any denizen of the deep, and the ferocious alligator ruled without contradiction in the swamps of the South. The day of their native supremacy is gone, and now they would actually suffer final extermination but for the protecting hand of Uncle Sam. The United States government has made protection of its seal fisheries an international policy; it has established a national park for the remnant of buffaloes and it will soon move to prevent the last sasarium in the swamps of the South from yielding its life to the nell hunter. It is only in late years that sentiment has grown up in favor of the alligator. That unwieldy, ugly creature was once regarded as a foe to the public order, and his complete extermination at a stroke would have seemed the best thing that could happen, but the commercial uses to which it was subjected have made a new sentiment, and soon national legislation will be invoked to restrict indiscriminate killing of the swamp kings. Not more sentimentalism alone argues for protection of the last survivors of Uncle Sam's lower giants. The buffalo had to go from the plains in order to make way for man, but he could have been driven into herds, and preserved in numbers. The killing of the seal to get the skins is a laudable and proper use of the animal, provided the killing is done with such systematically minated. So with the alligator. Take the lives of as many as are needed for the purposes of commerce, but do it according to far-sighted wisdom. CAPTURING A BIG A Perilous Undertaking f The alligator is nearly wiped out, but the big caudian multiples quickly and in great number, so that, with only reasonable protection he would soon flourish again. Not long ago the swamps, rivers and bayous of Florida and other Southern states fairly abounded with the creatures. Formerly they got as far north as Georgia, but now they are only found on the southern coast line of the extreme Southern states. They were abundant in the interior for the reason that it is hard to get at them three. At first it was for the amusement of the hunter that the alligator fell. It was esteemed great sport to sall down a river and shoot the saurians, leaving the bodies where they fell, and making no attempt to slide the hides. Later, as Florida began to settle, the alligator were killed off for the protection of the people. The reptiles had preying tendencies that made them constant nuisance to the hunters when hungry they did not hesitate to come inland and steal what ever came within reach of their huge tails, a blow from which would mean the death of lambs, pigs, and even small calves and colts. Every time the gator attempted inroads a pose would be formed, and a trail of alligator carcasses would be the outcome of a ten days' hunt. It was not, however, until the sturuli of alligator carcasses would be the outcome of a ten days' hunt. It was not, however, until the sturuli of alligator carcasses would be the outcome of a ten days' hunt. Trunks, traveling bags, purses and all kinds of leather novelties could be made from alligator hide. The tran "The man in the moon" must surely regard with amused contempt our much-vaulted athletic records. A good terrestrial athlete could cover about 120 feet on the moon in a running broad jump, while leaping over a barn would be a very commonplace feat. He would find no difficulty in carrying six times as much and running six times as fast as he could on earth, all because the moon attracts bodies with only one-sixth of the force of the earth. BIG AND LITTLE ALLIGATORS BASKING IN THE SUNSHINE. UNDER THE RAIN In addition to the sale of skins there is a demand for baby gators, which are stuffed and sold. The alligator is a long lived customer, and frequently reaches an age of 150 years. According to present plans Uncle Sam proposes to have a certain district set apart where it shall be illegal. BIG AND LITTLE ALLIGATOR to kill the big saurians except at certain times and in regulated numbers. In this way it is hoped they will be preserved indefinitely. The buffaloes that remain in the United States are already under protection. Only such action prevented the grand old monsters of the plains from being wiped out altogether. The area originally occupied by the buffalo was 3,000,000 square miles. This lordly domain has shrunk till it ALLIGATOR ALIVE. Or Any One Not an Expert. Is only a few hundred miles. But, wherever the buffalo is now, he has the protection of the national government. This country has dealt somewhat hardly with the primeval owner of its great Western plains, but what small atonement is possible will be made now. James G. Blaine predicted that one INDISCRIMINATE On Jack London's Doors. Jack London, the novelist, is having a yacht built for him at Oakland, Cal., and is to go for a seven years cruise round the world, gathering material for new stories. Mr. London is a humorist as well as a realist. On his home in San Francisco was a sign reading: "No admission except on business; no business transacted here." And on the back door was the notice: "Please do not enter without knocking; please do not knock." THE APPEA day the seal fisheries of the United States would lead this country into a war, which shows how strong is the feeling to protect the remains of the oncecountless seal herds. Only a few weeks ago there was an incident that might have made trouble with Japan had not the American believed the matter been so clearly in evidence. A crew of Japanese poachers, pursuing seals in United States territory, was fired upon under orders from Special Agent Lempke of the department of commerce. Five Jaws were killed, but no protest came from Tokyo. Not more than a quarter of a million seals in the Perlbyo island hard which once claimed not less than five million. The damage has been done to a great extent by Canadian poachers, guilty of what is known as pelagic sealing, or killing seals on S BASKING IN THE SUNSHINE. the high seas. It is said that one-half of the seals killed at sea sink and are never recovered, so that the wanton killing begets only small returns for the guilty. Moreover, poachers do not hostate to kill the cows. In the North Atlantic and Arctic waters a million baby seals less than five weeks old are killed every spring. Nearly all the oil and leather came from the younger seals. Newfoundland sealers, Russians, Danes, Esquimaux, and Norwegians lead in the slaughter. The seal breeds very fast, and moderate protection will prevent extermination. If the seals are to be preserved it is evident that Great Britain and Japan must join with the United States in the effort. Whether ever concerted action can keep these valuable furbearing creatures from destruction must be considered. The desolate wastes of the Northwestern seas are wide and seldom traversed by craft other than the seals and the revenue cutters on the lookout for them. It is one thing to provide by international agreement for their defense, and quite another to make that compact effectual. The scheme may be more than trying, but it must be from indiscriminate slaughter the seals would doubtless multiply until they again became an important source of wealth. It is not often that his holiness, the pope, makes a joke, but he made one recently in order to put Herr Schneller, the bishop of Paderborn, at his ease. The bishop had just been introduced to the pope, and was fearfully nervous. "Monsignor," said the pope, with a laugh, "we are brothers. Don't you understand?" The bishop evidently did not, so the pope continued: "We both belong to the tailor fami- ly, Schneider as well as Sarto!" Schnelder is the German for tailor, and Sarto is the Italian. SEAL KILLING. The increased strength of iron and steel wire, due to the strains of cold working, is made useful in many ways. In the wire cables of suspension bridges it is relied upon and figured in as a part of the tensile strength of the wire. In wire for piano strings and for deep see sounding, tensile strengths of over 400,000 pounds a square inch have been attained, the greater part of which is due to the internal strains set up in the wire drawing process. One of the greatest of the victories of peace appears in the smooth and easy movement of the peaceful armies of American pleasure seekers. Only the other day there was great excitement in Washington when President Roosevelt telegraphed the war department: "Arrange for six thousand troops to start for Cuba as soon as possible." Instantly the quiet gray building on Pennsylvania avenue occupied the war department sprang into an uproar of activity. Orderles were sent scurrying hither and yon, a host of messages set telephone and telegraph wires humming from one end of the country to the other, railroad and steamship schedules were filled, and easy-going department officials arrived in overtime, all in the attempt to mobilize 6,000 troops at the three separate ports of New York, Newport News and Tampa, under the concentrated attention of the entire country, which was expected dutifully and patriotically to marvel at the wonderful exhibition of what perfect organization can accomplish. And yet to the transportation companies affected the whole affair was of little more importance in their daily routine, though a great deal more troublesome, than a Sunday school convention or a political gathering. For transportation companies are accustomed to handle much larger numbers, the army and pleasure. In the upper part of an army, many times 6,000 in number, which moves peacefully and harmoniously upon New York from every part of the country on its way to Europe. In the autumn the same army returns and is distributed again to the four corners of the land.

Everything must be done on a large scale in the running of these hotels. (The grape fruit that the guest ate with his breakfast was one of 214,00 consumed during the season. More More practice, perhaps, would facilitate handling the soldiers of Uncle Sam's army. The armies of peace, at all events, mobilize rapidly and yet successfully. They are always at it. Even now these armies are gathering again, this time for the annual advance upon the winter resorts of the South. Florida has 300,000 tourists visits Florida each winter—an army five times as large as that which wears the uniform of Uncle Sam. Yet there is no undue excitement over the coming of such a host. Practice has prepared the way for its every step. For its transportation a fleet of ocean-goining steamers ply regularly from the Northern coast cities throughout the season. From New York to the cities of the North and West parlor car trains dash southward, conveying this pleasure seeking army in its pursuit of summer. There is no mad scurrying for tents or tinned goods, as in the case when a few thousand boys in blue get busy. In the commissariat for the care of this vast army are included the facilities afforded by hundreds of hotels and boarding houses, from the $3 or $10 a week cottage, accommodating half a dozen guests, to the palatial hostelry fitted with every convenience and luxury for hundreds. At Teckconville is located the distributing point for the transporting of the battalions of pleasure seekers as they progress down the coast from one famous winter resort to another. On one side the ocean is always at hand, and boating and bathing may alternate with night-seeing and excursions by land through deep forests or orange groves full of fruit. An enthusiastic flank movement is generally executed by a detachment of the main army of peace, much as it is done in real war. The detachment is made up of those who like to invoke an icy shiver through gazing on grusome relics of past days when history was written in blood. The objective point in keeping with the simile is old Fort Marion, a relic of Spanish dominion, whose construction was begun more than three centuries ago, and wherein whose grim walls are still to be seen chill dungeons, secret passages, CAPTURED AT One of the Small Sharks Which Wh CAPTURED AT PALM BEACH.

Were all this an invasion of troops, even without resistance, the story would not move so quickly. Neither would the invasion, for the fact already becomes apparent that to prepare the way for an army of pleasure-bearers another, subsidiary army is necessary. Taking into account only the ten greatest and most famous of Florida's hundred's of hotels, 2,700 has been the result of one man's daunting enterprise. A number of years ago Mr. H. M.

Everything must be done on a large scale in the running of these hotels. The grape fruit that the guest ate with his breakfast was one of 214,000 consumed during the season. More than twice as many oranges — about 436,000 — were required. Coffee was brewed from a supply aggregating 53,000 pounds, or more than 25 tons. The cream was gathered from 89,000 quarts of milk and 115,000 quarts were needed for other purposes. The butter used was weighed nearly 150,000 pounds. Eggs were taken by the million, 3,400,000 being a second. Of other edibles, 54,000 pounds of ham, 46,000 pounds of bacon, 840,000 livers, 280,000 lamb chops and 337,600 steaks were consumed in these great hostilities. For dinners there were served last winter among other POLICE CITY OF BOSTON Defective Page things, 188,000 pounds of rib roasts and 153,700 sides of beef. Salt and pepper were used in quantities to astonish the housewife-96,000 pounds of salt and 31,000 pounds of pepper. As a sort of frill to the menu, there were served 700 gallons of olives, 629,000 clams and 825,000 oysters. Another item too important to be overlooked was 1,600 barrels of flour, which went into roll, bread, pastry, dressings and other good things. Ten chefs, 220 cooks and assistants and 1,000 waiters assisted in the preparation and service of the food. To contribute to the happiness of seekers for rest and recreation, 110 musicians, six golf professionals, four swimming teachers, and 90 gardeners were employed. The transformation of the entire east coast of Florida from a barren waste of sand and algator swamps into the most extensive pleasure resort in the world together with the building of the first seagoing railway PALM BEACH.

Flagier conceived the idea which has added 300,000 to Florida's winter population, and has since devoted to its development the millions which came to him as one of the pioneers of Standard Oil.

The general appearance of the czarna may be fairly well known in this country, although fewer pictures have been published of her than any other crowned head. But no picture that I had seen gave any idea of how she really looks seen thus face* to face. Perhaps this may be for the reason that much of her beauty comes from exquisite coloring and that there is about her a subtle charm impossible to picture and difficult to describe. She is very tall and very slender, yet most finely proportioned. Her features are almost Greek in their regularity and the natural expression of her face struck me at once as a singularly wistful and sweet sadness that never went quite away even when she smiled. Her hair is strikingly beautiful and luxuriant, long, heavy, glossy and brown-gold in color. Her eyes are large, soft, lustrous gray-blue, with long lashes, and I painted them cast down, as they nearly all meet for them as she is shy and hardly ever looks like a blush. Yet with all the czarna's shyness her bearing impresses me with a sense of something much more graver than mere admiration for a beautiful, graceful woman. It is difficult to define just what this impression was, but it may be termed majesty, for lack of a subtler term, and the feeling of it increased during the entire time that I was privileged to enter her presence, although no one could have been kinder or more simple in all that she said and did. It will be hard to cash your repentance in heaven unless it is endorsed by reformation. CASE WHEN TURN ABOUT WAS FAIR PLAY. Stephen Had Done His Part, and Allowed Brother Experience of Mastering Angry Brain Almost Out of Trap. Stephen Allard was born in New Durham, N. H., in 1770, and died in 1870. He was a unique and somewhat eccentric character, and was known throughout the Pequawk country as "Steve the Bear Hunter." Many anecdotes are still related of him. The following is a well authenticated one: He had set a bear trap in a plot of corn about a quarter of a mile from his residence. His brother David was a guest at his house. Stephen went early in the morning to see if any bears had been among the corn during the night, not expecting one to get into the trap the first night. As he arrived at the corn he heard the rattle of the trap, and found a bear caught by the toes of one forward foot. One glance convinced him that the hold of the trap was weakening. He seized the chieftain when Brain instantly rose on his hand and made for him. Without being held, he closed in with the bear, and being a powerful man, succeeded in soon getting the master, and called to David to come quickly and bring an ax with him. After considerable delay, and when Stephen had patience been ex- "Now, Dave, Hold Fast." hausted, David arrived with the ax. Stephen berated him, in language not fit to print, for his tardiness, and in explanation David said that, breakfast being ready, and not thinking there was any necessity for hurrying, he stopped and ate his breakfast. Stephen said: "Dave, hold this 'ero bar, and let me kill him." David was both to do so, but to appease Stephen's wrath, finally did as requested. When Stephen saw David had a firm hold on the bear, he threw the ax out of David's reach and said: "Now, Dave, hold fast that varmint while I go to the house and get my breakfast." Stephen went and got his meal and then returned and killed the bear. TELLS OF HIDING PLACE. Water Quickly Reveals Location of Buried Treasure.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1906. LABOR IN THE SOUTH. The South is laboring very strenuously to attract immigration; and moves in a mysterious way, its wonders to perform. The labor-seekers of that section adhere to their favorite methods, notwithstanding the warning Mr. Frank P. Sargent, commissioner of immigration, addressed to the Charleston people on the occasion of the landing of the first steamer load of immigrants direct from Europe. He bade them remember that immigrants "will not stand for being treated as the Negroes are." But his southern hearers have convinced themselves that they know everything about labor conditions town in Dixie and that everybody else knows nothing; so that when they listened to Mr. Sargent's talk: Much delighted were they. But preferred the old way, like the flashes who listened to St. Anthony's sermon. The following illustrates the North Carolina plan: After months of negotiation the Italian embassy has finally succeeded in effecting a satisfactory settlement of the labor troubles at Marion, N. C., which "culminated in a riot on May 14 1 HON. CHARLES W. FAIRBANK Vice President of United States in which two Italian laborers were killed, five others were wounded and hundreds were driven into the mountains. It is said that the men were held practically in bondage, were locked in their shanties at night and prevented from collecting money due them. And it is stated, in addition, that when the men were thus locked up in their shanties, the women were subjected to gross outrages. The Florida plan does not differ materially from the above. The following will give a very good idea of its working: John Atwell, deputy sheriff of Waltown county, said he was present on one occasion when Robert Gallagher, foreman for the company, came upon two runaway peons and that he saw Gallagher kick them several times. H. A. Stokes, a storekeeper at Florida, said that several times he saw peons being returned to Lockhart under guard and at times strapped in a buggy. He also said that firelocking bloodhounds were always carried in Gallagher's buggy whenever the latter started out to look for runaways. He said that the men in charge of runaways were always armed. Of course it is very presumptuous for THE APPEAL, being a Northern publication to have any opinion, much less an unfavorable one, of Southern methods; but it cannot avoid hinting that the down in Dixie fools are the most highly developed specimens of foofish fools that live upon the face of the earth. The New Orleans Times-Democrat is in a state of eruption over Senator Foraker's Chattanooga speech. He the aforementioned Senator is putting "a brand of fire upon the white man; is repeating state slanders against the people of the South, is slandering the Supreme Court, falls utterly to understand the Negro and the problems which intimately concern the Negro: "Wi! mair o' horrible and awtw." Which 'e'en to name, wad be unlaw fu." What grieves the T-D most excruciatingly, is that Senator Foraker seems to fall to know that the Negro is "not the white man's equal," and thereby "commits a crime of much graver proportions against a naturally docile, inoffensive and ignorant race of people." So, it will be seen that the Senator's deprivacy is of the same species as that which led the St. Paul Pioneer Press to pronounce scores of Afro-Americans to be vastly superior to Gov. Vardaman. It is to be hoped that when the Senator reads the T-D article, he will repent in sackcloth and ashes: --- M. B. While the lamp holds to to burn. The vilest sinner may return. In their frantic zeal for securing immigration to the South, our Southern brethren have shown how little they know or care for the laws of the United States; and in consequence they have run afoul, of that powerful organization, the Federation of Labor, and that organization has brought a charge before the proper authorities in Washington that one thousand, or more of laborers were recently landed at Charleston, S. C., who were under contract. This appears to be a direct and flagrant violation of the contract labor law. In Gov. Heyward's address at Nashville, he was very anxious to invoke the assistance of the North in the carrying out of the Southern immigration scheme, and he will, doubtless, be much surprised at this prompt and earnest answer to his appeal. It really seems that the South knows as little about conditions at the North as it is claimed that the North knows about the South. A prominent Catholic writer in a leading periodical complains bitterly of the misrepresentation of his church which is due to the, perhaps, unconscious prejudices of the press agents, whom he claims are almost all Jews, freethinkers, or opponents of that church. These misrepresentations, he claims, are in relation to the difficulties recently arising between his church and the civil government of France. It may console the writer, should this by any chance attract his attention to know that his church is by no means the only victim of malicious, persistent misrepresentation. Indeed, we doubt whether the Catholic church has ever had to encounter such a deluge of malicious lies as the yellow journals of the United States have poured out upon the head of the Afro-American, at the behest of the solid, stolid South. The St. Paul Pioneer Press remarks "All the attempts made by men of the Vardaman stripe to use the criminal tendencies of a few blacks as evidence that Negroes are not men in the sense in which the term is applied to whites are easily answered by the fact that the black race has representatives in America who tower intellectually and morally far above such a specimen of the genius homo as Vardaman himself. There are dozens who could discount the Mississippi in character in manners and in judgment as well as in a competitive examination in literature, science or qualifications for almost any position. And, the journal might have added: "And who are about as pure white as he is." [Portrait of a man in formal attire, with a decorative border.

"The Black Politician" or "The Mayor of Marco" on the grand Next The "Smart Set," the peer of all Afro-American theatrical organizations, have a new offering this season. It is in reality a comedy drama with music and entitled "The Black Politician" or "The Mavor of Marcel," and next week starting with Sunday matinee, Dec. 2, S. H. Dudley is the leading funmaker in this incomparable piece and he does more than ample justice to his many opportunities. There are three gifts of mirt, harmlessness, and the ability to be whistled by the public before the company's engagement is over. The story of the play is rather unique. It tells of the efforts of two politicians to secure the coveted office of mayor of a mythical town named Marcel. Hiram Grindle in a liberal is the company's manager, who is a prohibitionist of the first water, Grindle, in order to make his election unanimous seeks the help of a well known New York politician named Ward Heeler. He atel the last moment falls to put in an apportionment. Grindle, in a liberal is the company's manager, locates Hezekiah Doo, an ifnertainer race track tour, and has him act as the Black Politician. Of course Doo doesn't know the first rudiments of the politician's art and naturally, his intelligence, a daughter, and mirth. There is a happy song this troliscme concoction. Grindle is successful over his rival and Hezekiah as a reward for his clever deception receives the hand of Palora Boreland, whom he has loved for many years. The scenic embellishments of the play, the tunes, settings and other essential features are of the kind that help make shows of this calibre so successful. THE VALET TAILORING CO. No. 164-156 E.
