FROM A PROGRAM SELLER TO QUEEN OF GRAND OPERA THEATRE VOL. 23. NO. 3. The most beautiful woman in the world has now taken her place as queen of the Metropolitan opera house. When La Cavalieri recently made her debut as a member of Herr Conrad's famous constellation, New York endorsed the verdict of Rome, Milan, Berlin, Paris, St. Petersburg and Vienna that hers was a beauty such as had seldom been seen before, and certainly never surpassed. Better still, talent came with it. No one ever heard of Director Conrad offending such undoubted beauties as Cleo Meyer and Oscar 1280 nightly to display their charms in his opera house. She who would care there must be able to charm the ear as well as the eye. More than any other artist now before the public, La Cavalieri combines ability to do the two things. For ten years La Cavalieri has ranked in a class by herself, and when she passes the class will probably go, for Dame Seymour is seldom so generous as to give a great voice in addition to surpassing loveliness. There have been at the Metropolitan opera house other singers who were good to look upon. The statuesque lines of Emma Eames, the haughty beauty of Breval, the chic carm of Alten and Fritzi Scheff, the ample pulchritude of Nordica, the stateliness of Lehmann and the attractions of the blonde Gadski, all of whose have made their appeal to the eye. But with La Cavalieri the beauty is not merely incidental. It is so ravishing, so irrasible that none can withhold appeal. Royal knees have bent before this superb Italian woman, jewels have been lavished upon her, potentates have offered their protection and shouting multitudes of her own beauty loving countrymen have acclaimed her queen of the Italian stage. Yet she has not been content to rest her reputation alone on her beauty. With as much ambition as though she had been the most ill-favored of women she has studied hard, and has developed a repertoire that imposes many difficult modern roles. It is uniquely supplying that having this extraordinary attraction of face and figure, La Cavalieri should have a preference for the opera coquettes in which she can display her beauties to the best advantage. She is fond of Carmen, the beautiful, but vicious heroine of Bizet's opera; she sings the butterfly Mim in Puccini's tuneful "La Boheme"; she is a brilliant Nedda in Leonacavallo "La披头"; and is also famous in "Toca" "Fedora," "Traviata" "Mona Lescaut." It will be noted that nearly all these parts are those of heroes who are represented as having possessed wonderful beauty and coquetry. In Europe La Cavalieri has made such parts so distinctively her own that other singers shrink from risking complete performance. Like many other great artists, La Cavalieri came up from the gutter. Not so many years ago she was a barefoot girl running around the streets of Rome, a beautiful child, with a passion for music. Hers was the humble lot of selling programs to the patrons of a Roman theater. One night young Carlo di Rudolini, son of the Italian premier, caught sight of the girl's face, and on questioning, found that she possessed the gift of song. His interest aroused, he found out her address, visited her family, and OPERA Beautiful asked permission to have her educated in music. Then she was transplanted to the studies of the best musicians, who found that her voice was in a class with her wondrous beauty. In no time she could sing French chansons with a marvelous charm, and when Paris called for the new queen of music and beauty, La Cavalieri went to the French capital, and scored an enormous hit. This was gratifying, but it was not the career the tall Italian had planned for herself. Mingled with the wonderful beauty was a genuine love of art. She wished to sing the roles written for her idealized modern Italian composers, and the success of Parisian music halls, and the adoration of the jeunesse doree would not compensate her for loss of a genuine musical career. So she forsook Paris and went to Italy to make her deput in grand opera. She first appeared in Naples, and the role was Mimi. Her success was instantaneous, and was followed by a triumphal tour of Russia, in which grand dukes jostled each other in the scramble to lay their wealth at her feet. In St. Petersburg and Moscow La Cavalieri received enough adulation to turn the head of any woman, but no offer of marriage, no matter how brilliant, could change her love of the artist, and she resolutely stuck to her career. La Cavalieri is a very intelligent woman, with powers of observation and strong personal ideas about things. She had not been in this coun- ```markdown ``` THE BELLE THE MUSICIAN CAVALIERI AS CLEOPATRA. I THE APPEAL. try more than a few days before she formed her estimate of American women. 1900 THE NEW YORK TIMES it fee she scu fau ne er it fu and ha Re gre She was amazed at their splendid healthfulness and fine eyes, and made no secret of her opinion that in point of figure and carriage they far outstripped the beauties of Europe. "But," she said, "they do not know how to make the most of their attractions. They have no coquetry." That which La Cavalieri says American women lack, she herself has to a conspicuous degree. She is a mistress of every accomplishment, every facial change, every movement, every grace that will add to her attraction. Her eyes are pale, and brown. Their expression is gentle, and belie a somewhat aggressive hint conveyed in the poise of her head, which is always carried well back, with the chin uplifted. In the depths of her eyes is seen all the magnetism of a woman who, if she willed to use her power wrongly, could accomplish most any catastrophe. Her eyes were shaded by the most marvelous pair of eyelashes that droop to her cheeks in the occasional times when she droops her eyes. Cavalieri has not the brown Italian skin. Her is creamy, and she watches over it with solicitous care. Her father is hot water, hot as possible. This she advises the best help to which Anna Held believes in as the ideal skin tonic, La Cavalieri speaks of with disgust as sticky and unpleasant. She is afraid of cold water. In protecting her $1,200 a night beauty La Cavalieri has no fixed rules. She eats sparingly, goes out when she wants to, takes plenty of exercise and a liberal amount of sleep. She also preaches a proper amount of work as a teacher, keeps her mind pleasantly occupied and avoiding the wrinkles that come with care. The famous prima donna is tall, full five feet six inches. In street costume she is a bit de- CAVALIERI AS CARMEN. Defective Page celing. One would take her to be slender almost to leanness. But when the wonderful figure is unfolded to A public gaze through a decollete gown, it is seen to be the very perfection of feminine beauty. Her arms are perfectly rounded, and her neck and shoulders would fit the dream of a sculptor. La Cavalieri attributes the faultless throat to the fact that she never muffles up. Most singers keep the throat covered all the time, but La Cavalieri has it care, even in the winter time. Her fur is thick and in the coldest and stormiest of nights, most she has over at is a piece of thighwear. La Cavalieri is a pupil of Jean de Reske, whom she admires as the greatest of singers. WOMEN CONDUCTORS. Their Employment in Chilean Town— Attend Well to Their Work The most remarkable work of the Valparaiso street car system is its conductors; they are women, says the Los Angeles Times. The sex is also employed in like capacity in Santiago and all the other cities of Chile that have horse or electric trans. This practice sprang into being at the time of the revolution of 1891, when men and money were scarce and women plentiful. Having apparently given satisfaction to their employers during the intervening years they are still retained. The first women conductors were said to have been young and pretty and to have been dressed in natty uniforms. Tradition even goes further and says that at that time youth and good looks were a part of the "entrance requirements." In the light of the present this seems hard to believe. It is also recorded that after a while the natty uniforms were dropped, and it is just possible that the apochryphal "youth and beauty" clause was stricken out at the same time. To-day, judging from what I have seen in a somewhat painstaking survey of the situation, I would say that the apochryphal "youth and beauty" far from being relevant were the means of earning a flat disqualification. The customary dress of a lady tram conductor of to-day is a broad-brimmed clutch hat, a short jacket with the sleeves turned back an inch or two and a short black skirt, always hanging with a heavy port or starboard list. They are neither firtiated nor prudish, and no scandals are heard about them. To a foreigner it is an interesting sight to observe the street car girl, to note how capably she manages her car, and the quiet, business-like way in which she goes through the routine of collecting fares, giving change, discharging passengers and seeing that the rule regarding the number admitted is not broken. Bottled Dollar Fished From Sea. His business card, on which David Schmid of Clayton wrote an offer of $1 for its return to him, placed in a wine bottle and thrown into the Atlantic ocean June 6 last, has been returned to him in a letter from H. Buse of Wadebridge, Cornwall, England. The finder wrote that he found the card November 1 in Paddstow harbor, near Bristol channel. Mr. Schmid is cashier of the St. Louis County bank at Clayton. With others he went to Germany last spring. One day wine was served to party. The empty bottle suggested floating messages to Mr. Schmid, and, writing the date and offer on his business card, he placed it in the bottle and threw it overboard. "I will send the dollar, of course," said Mr. Schmid. "It is lucky that I didn't write $100, for I never expected to be called upon to pay the reward." UNIQUE WORK OF FINANCIER M. H. GEORGE H. EARLE. JR.. BANK SAVER. The bank breaker is no novelty. He is in the newspapers all the time. But the bank saver, the broken bank mender, is something new in finance. In fact quite unique, for the present time there is only one, George H. Earle, Jr. of Philadelphia, who scored perhaps the triumph of his successful life when the Real Estate Trust Company of Philadelphia elected Mr. Earle president, and opened its doors a solvent institution, only two months after a failure so bad that it seemed absolute. No financier ever scored a more notable personal triumph. The Real Estate Trust went down in the midst of general execration. It had failed to find a buyer, and the criminal complicity of its treasurer and the gross negligence of its directors. The first hasty examination of its assets showed only utter ruin. The president of the institution, under the influence of the extraordinary Austrian, Adolph Segal, dreamer and promoter, had advanced money on the most worthless wildcat securities. Hundreds of thousands were put out in sugar refineries that never had a chance to operate, a million in a hotel that, it is claimed, had never paid a dollar on the original investment, and on which even the taxes for six years stood unpaid. To balance against a seven-million-dollar failure, the assets did not look to be worth two millions. Many poor people had their all tied up in the real estate trust, and popular praise against the director of wealth and standing in the community, whose names had been the bait that attracted millions of deposits to the bank. Indignant depositors, represented by a able counsel, immediately arranged suits to force the directors to make atonement, financially, for the neglect of a solemn trust. The contemplated litigation would have tied up the money for years, put an end to what ever credit the institution might have, and probably did complete failure. At this junction Receiver Earle, had been appointed by the court, said to the depositors: "Stop all these suits. Leave everything to me and I will save your money." The same appeal from probably any other man would have met only with scorn and laughter, but it came from a man that Philadelphia new. George H. Earle, Jr., had made the same speech before and had made the same decision, although a few were slow in cooling off, finally stopped their suits, and told Mr. Earle to go ahead, they would give him a free foot to pursue any plan of reorganization he might see fit, and they would back him up. Thus empowered this is what the exponent of the new science of bank saving did. He first asked all the depositors to give their proxies, so that he could have power to represent and act for them officially. This was quickly done, and every mail brought in hundreds of proxies, until finally the re GEORGE H. EARLE. Wouldn't Have Been Strange. Two women were strangers to each other, and they talked. The a few moments' entailment talk, the first said, rather queriously: "Perhaps," said the other, "he saw me come in. He's my husband." No man keeps up his reputation by talking about it. MINNESOTA HISTORICAL HEAPPEAUL 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. ceiver held in his hand authority to act for every dollar that has been on deposit in the bank. In asking the proxies he promised a reorganization on the basis of half the money in cash, the balance in bonds of the reorganized company. Then he put the screws on the rich directors, who did not direct, and forced them to advance two and a half million dollars in cash. Further, he examined the assets of Segal, and by clever deals realized far more cash from them than had been hoped for by the most enthusiastic of his partisans. This done he showed the bank examiner of Pennsylvania that the institution was solvent and asked permission to resume. This was granted, the court released him as receiver, and with Mr. Earle at the helm, the unanimous choice of 15,000 stockholders, the bank opened two months from the time of the failure. Its success has been immediate, and it promises to become one of Philadelphia's most stable banks. This remarkable exploit in itself was enough to make the reputation of any man, the fame of Mr. Earle does not come it alone. He has done the same thing a dozen times. In fact his most notable work in finance has been the rehabilitation of concerns that failed or were totering on the brink. So successful has he been in this direction that against his inclination he has been forced to give up his law practice in order to devote himself to what may be properly termed constructive business. It was an accident that first told him wherein his greatest talent lay. His family owned some stock in the Pennsylvania Warehouse company, a concern that had never, paid a cent in dividends, and whose stock was selling at $5 a share. Mr. Earle thought the stock had possibilities, and began to investigate. He convinced the directors that the company be liable to pay of them gave him authority to go ahead. He quickly cut out the dead wood, gave places to energetic young men, and installed modern methods. He got the company to buy certain wharves, which later he had the satisfaction of renting out to railroads at splendid rates. The company began to pay, and its stock is now worth anywhere from $75 to $100 a share. The Guarantee Trust and Safe Deposit company, a concern that had been because of the tendency of one of its officers to take too much part in promoting, had noticed Mr. Earle's rehabilitation of the Warehouse company, and persuaded him to accept an election as vice president. The application of his methods soon put this company on its feet again. By this time he had found out that he was carrying too much responsibility for one man, and he must cut loose something. Reluctantly he gave up his position. Next he was elected president of the Finance Company of Pennsylvania. JR., BANK SAVER. Too Heavy. "Go the engagement off between May Plumper and Jack." "Yes, he says she was simply insupportable——" "I guess it must have been rather a strain on his knees; she's no fairy, that's a fact." Not in His Line. Lawyer—You should learn short-hand and typewriting, Billy. The Office Boy—Aw gwaw! I never cared for flowers an' candy! which company he promptly braced up. These three great victories gave Earle a commanding reputation, and when the Tradesman's National bank got into deep water, Earle was called to go to the rescue. He did so and sent the stock from 50 to 100. Next came the Market Street National bank. It was foundling along in desolate woodlands when some wise director suggested he be secured. He became president, and boosted the stock till to-day it is selling at a premium of sixty. Mr. Earle also did excellent work for Reading railroad stock, together with Frederick P. Olecott of New York, and virtually save the Choctaw, Oklahoma & Gulf railroad when it got into bad shape. But the greatest Earle exploit, before he fixed up the Real Estate Trust, was saving the money of those who deposited the Chestnut Street National bank and the Chestnut Street Trust company. There were ventures of the late William M. Singer, editor of the Philadelphia Record. Singer prospered MRS. GEORGE H. EARLE, JR. for many years, but he had so many trons in the fire that when he became involved in one failure all his interests went down, and the bank and trust company failed. All that remained to the receivers, Mr. Earle and Richard Y. Cook, that had earning value was the Philadelphia record. Against his newspaper Mr. Singerly had borrowed a great sum of money, and it looked as though the creditors would only get about 12 cents on the dollar. But Mr. Earle and Mr. Cook personally raised the money necessary to save the Record. They conducted the paper for four years at a big profit, and then sold it at such an increased price that the depositors of the bank in full, with all interest, and to those of the trust company with only a little less than the principal. Mr. Earle is of Quaker stock, is something over fifty, has a charming wife and seven children. PROVERBS ABOUT WOMEN. Calumnies Concerning Them Which Men of All Nations Utter The Germans say: "Listen to a woman's first opinion, but not her second." This proverb embodies the world-old theory that a woman's intuition is better than her reason. The French say: "A wife is a perpetual torment" and "A man of straw is worth a woman of gold." The absurd French cynicism, the French distrust of wankish, is as well portrayed in those two proverbs as in one of Guy de Maupassant's stories. The Spanish love their women, but in a light and jesting way. Their proverbs make sport of her. For instance: "Women, wind and fortune are changeable." "If you have anything to proclaim in the open market you need only to whisper to a woman." "Be on your guard against a bad woman and never trust a good one." "There is husband who even the husband thinks he has got her." Bitter and contemptuous is the Italian idea of woman. They say in Italy that they suck desperately on their miserably made government gigers: "He who loses his wife and a brass farting has only lost the latter." The Chinese objection to woman is that she talks too much. "A woman's tongue is her sword and she never permits it to rest." The American proverbs are kinder: "Women can keep a secret, but it takes a lot of them to do it," and "Women paint to hide their blushes." The society reporters always speak of a bride being "led to the altar," just as though a bride couldn't find her own way there blind-folded.

President Roosevelt's speech at Little Rock, Ark. SATURDAY, JANUARY 19, 1907. THE refutations of the mendacious statements in reference to the Afro-Americans do not come exclusively from those whom the Nashville American refer to as "milger-loving Yankees," but in large part from the host white men of the South. As prefect, we quote a few sentences from a recent address to the Afro-Americans, delivered at the meeting of the state fair association, as follows: As to the victims of lynch law, the governor said: "More than one time since I have occupied the executive chair, the ruthless violators have laid their illegal and impious hands upon a man as innocent of the offense charged as an angel." As to the character of Afro-American women the governor said: "Many of your women are as virtuous as the women of any people. They keep their homes in order like Martha. Their husbands rise up call them blessed and their children praise them." And as to the exercise of political rights, he added: M. H. Vigorously Opposes the Expulsion of Utah Member. Declares Accused is Not Guilty of Any of the Offenses Charged. United States Senator Albert J. Hopkins of Illinois delivered a speech in the senate in opposition to the report of the committee on privileges and elections, which recommends the exclusion of Senator Smoot Reed of Utah. Senator Hopkins' speech was a notable and a brilliant contribution to the record of this long-drawn-out and interesting controversy. It was a complete defense of Smoot and his rights and privileges as well as a complete annihilation of the contentions of those senators who have joined in the recommendation for the exclusion of the Utah senator. "I believe it best for all concerned, Ians from the army of the Unitee aside from the observance of the statutes, that every one who can come in under the permanent plan of the constitutions should be allowed and even urged to register and vote." The foregoing are the utterances of a thoroughbred Southern man, Governor Jelks of Alabama, and if they could obtain as wide circulation as Tom Dixon's twaddle or Ben Tillman's ravings, it would contribute much to the peace of the country. But the newspapers pay very little attention to the wise utterances of a scout and sane man—they are in quest of the uncut, the risque, the sensational. SOUTHERN VERDICT When it comes to dealing with the Afro-American, southern journals, almost without exception are the most extraordinary and audacious liaisons that ever existed upon the face of the earth, or anywhere else. They actually seem to think that they are doing God and man service of the most valuable description when they indulge in this pastime. But occasionally, a southern man shows his manhood and integrity by refusing to so prostitute himself for political purposes; and THE APPEAL is glad to mention an instance of recent occurrence in the benighted state of Alabama. Everybody knows how vociferously southern journals propagate the lie that an Afro-American can get justice in a southern court, well knowing that there is not a semblance of truth in what they say. A white man assassinated an Afro-American in a little old ram-shackling town in that state called Dothan. The murder was proved beyond doubt, but the scoundrel jury found the murderer not guilty. Thereupon, Judge Moore addressed the jury three: "Gentlemen, although your verdict may not read that way in so many words, it really says: 'We, the jury, find the defendant not guilty because he is a white man, and the man he killed was a Negro.' There is not a man on the jury who does not believe from the evidence adduced that William Crockett killed Lum Henderson. If the dead man had been a white citizen it wouldn't have taken you two hours to have returned a verdict of guilty, and I don't see how any member of the jury can go from this courthouse and face his fellow citizens on the streets." At Charles City, Iowa a mob of one thousand men battered down the jail door, took from the jail a white man who had murdered his wife and stepson, and, after holding a prayer service, hanged him to a bridge over the Cedar river. The dispatches say that the man had been demented for over twenty-five years and that he was 60 years of age. It is also set forth that four or five ministers and a number of women were in the crowd, though it is not stated that they took part in the lynching. The above incident surpasses in atrocity many of the worst occurrences that have transpired in the south, and proves that there are as many murderous wretches in the one section as in the other. But the real trickle is that public sentiment has for so long a time and in such an emphatic manner condensed these acts of lawlessness and contended that they could not be controlled. But under certain circumstances, as President Cleveland demonstrated in the Chicago riots, they can be controlled and that magistrate also showed how they can be controlled. It has also been shown that a small number of determined men can puf to flight an army of roughs, bummers and strumpets. All that is needed is to hang a few of the "preachers" and unsexed viragoes who gloat upon such spectacles. SLAYDEN AND HIS BILL. In his bill advocating the pas sage of his bill to exclude Afro-Amer rans from the army of the United States, Representative Slayden, of Texas said, inter alia: "We will be as patient as possible, having faith that finally the sympathy of the whole country will be given to that section which has been so tried in the school of disaster, a section which stands face to face with the perplexities and dangers of the most difficult question any people on earth were ever called on to meet and solve. When all the States comprehend this question which now they barely apprehend, they will help us of the South to make it certain that the homes of white men in a white man's country will be protected by white men only." (Appeause.) Mr. Slayden forgets that the homes of white men during the days when the white men aforesaid were trying their level best to destroy this government and to build up one whose corner-stone should be slavery, needed no protection and the slaves, in not one single instance, invaded those homes, but protected and supported them. His speech is simply veneered buncombe and rot-nonsense, sugar-coated with rhetoric. "The senator compared the Negro to the baboon. He called him "the missing link" and finally declared he saw serious trouble and bloodshed ahead in the south as a result of the race question, which, he declared, was the most important thing confronting the American people. As senator from South Carolina he declared no Negro was as good as a white man in his state and that every white man in South Carolina believed he was just as good as any one who walked in shoe leather." The foregoing is from Tillman's address to the students of Eastern Shore College, somewhere in Maryland. But the caterwailing orator destroyed his own assertion when he declared that the Afro-Americans were learning to read and write rapidly and when he admitted that the whites of South Carolina were afraid of them. When did Tillman ever hear of baboons, learning to read and write rapidly? It is as true today as in Newton's time that action and re-action are equal and act in opposite directions. Tillman's frenized brutality has brought forth such expressions from the respectable press as the following: From the Philadelphia Ledger: "This 'race question' is really the most serious problem now before the American people. Its calm and deliberate consideration is made impossible while an irresponsible firebrand like Tillman is circulating about the country and inciting turbulence and hate. From the Savannah News: It looks as if the Negro question were slowly but surely settling itself, so far as it will ever be possible to settle it, and it is doubtful if Senator Tillman is helping the settlement of it by his intemperate attacks on the Negro in the Northern States. Our relations with our brothers in brown and yellow seem to be steadily growing no better, as shown by the following: Shanghai, Jan.—Native newspapers report that the Chinese foreign office is considering the question of declining to accept American contributions to famine relief as a measure of retaliation for the American rejection of Chinese subscriptions to the relief of the San Francisco earthquake sufferers. THE APPEAL is always delighted to see dark-colored races declining to accept the badge and collar of inferiority. That old superstition ought to be played out. The Chattancoga clergy have decided that Shakespeare's plays are immoral. That raises the question what harm they can do in such a place as Chattancoga, even if they are? J. B. H. SENATOR WILLIAM B.

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, JANUARY 19, 1907. COV. JELKS OF ALABAMA. THE refutations of the mendacious statements in reference to the Afro-Americans do not come exclusively from those whom the Nashville American refer to as "nigger-loving Yankees" but in large part from the beat white men of the South. As proof, we quote a few sentences from a recent address to the Afro-Americans, delivered at the meeting of the state fair association, as follows: As to the victims of lynch law, the governor said: "More than one time since I have accepted the executive chair, the ruthless violators have laid their illegal and impious hands upon a man as innocent of the hands charged as an angel." As to the character of Afro-American women the governor said: "Many of your women are as virtuous as the women of, any people. They keep their homes in order like Mertha. Their husbands rise up call them blessed and their children praise them." And as to the exercise of political rights, he added: M. H. Vigorously Opposes the Expulsion of Utah Member. Declares Accused is Not Guilty of Any of the Offenses Charged. United States Senator Albert J. Hopkins of Illinois delivered a speech in the senate in opposition to the report of the committee on privileges and elections, which recommends the exclusion of Senator Smoot Reed of Utah. Senator Hopkins's speech was a notable and a brilliant contribution to the record of this long-drawn-out and interesting controversy. It was a complete defense of Smoot and his rights and privileges as well as a complete annihilation of the contentions of those senators who have joined in the recommendation for the exclusion of the Utah senator. "I believe it best for all concerned, Ians from the army of the United side from the observance of the stat. States, Representative Slayden, of states, that every one who can come in Texas, said inter alia: "We will be under the permanent plan of the con- situtions should be allowed and even urged to register and vote." The foregoing are the utterances of a thoroughbred Southern man, Governor Jelks of Alabama, and they could obtain as wide circulation as Tom Dixon's twaddle or Ben Tillman's ravings, it would contribute much to the peace of the country. which has been so tried in the school of disaster, a section which stands face to face with the perplexities and dangers of the most difficult question any people on earth were ever called to meet and solve. When all the States comprehend, this question But the newspapers pay very little attention to the wise utterances of a scribe and sane man—they are 'in quest of the uncouth, the risque, the sensational. SOUTHERN VERDICT. It when it comes to dealing with the Afro-American, southern journals, almost without exception are the most extraordinary and audacious liais that ever existed upon the face of the earth, or anywhere else. They actually seem to think that they are doing God and man service of the most valuable description when they indulge in this pastime. But occasionally, a southern man shows his manhood and integrity by refusing to so prostitute himself for political purposes; and THE APPEAL is glad to mention an instance of recent occurrence in the benighted state of Alabama. Everybody knows how vociferously southern journals propagate the lie that an Afro-American can get justice in a southern court, well knowing that there is not a semblance of truth in what they say. A white man assassinated an Afro-American in a little old ram-shackling town in that state called Dothan. The murder was proved beyond doubt, but the scoundrelly jury found the murderer not guilty. Thereupon, Judge Pearce addressed the jury thus: "Gentlemen, although your verdict may not read that way in so many words, it really says: 'We, the jury, find the defendant not guilty because he is a white man, and the man he killed was a Negro.' There is not a man on the jury who does not believe from the evidence adduced that Willie Crockett killed Lum Henderson. If the dead man had been a white citizen it wouldn't have taken you two hours to have returned a verdict of guilty, and I don't see how any member of the jury can go from this courthouse and face his fellow citizens on the streets." THE IOWA MOB MURDER At Charles City, Iowa a mob of one thousand men battered down the jail door, took from the jail a white man who had murdered his wife and stepson, and, after holding a prayer service, hanged him to a bridge over the Cedar river. The dispatches say that the man had been demented for over twenty-five years and that he was 60 years of age. It is also set forth that four or five ministers and a number of women were in the crowd, though it is not stated that they took part in the lynching. The above incident surpasses in astonishing many of the worst occurrences that have transpired in the south, and proves that there are as many murderous wretches in the one section as in the other. But the real trick is that public sentiment has for as long a time and in such an emphatic manner condensed these acts of lawfulness and contended that they could not be controlled. But, under certain circumstances, as President Cleveland demonstrated in the Chicago riots, they can be controlled and that magistrate also showed how they can be controlled. It has also been shown that a small number of determined men can put to flight an army of roughs, bummers and strumpets. All that is needed is to hang a few of the "preachers" and unsexed viragoes who gloat upon such spectacles. SLAYDEN AND HIS BILL. In his speech advocating the pas sage of his bill to exclude Afro-Amer trans from the army of the United States, Representative Slayden, of Texas said, inter alia: "We will be as patient as possible, having faith that finally the sympathy of the whole country will be given to that section which has been so tried in the school of disaster, a section which stands face to face with the perplexities and dangers of the most difficult question any people on earth were ever called on to meet and solve. When all the States comprehend this question which now they barely apprehend, they will help us of the South to make it certain that the homes of white men in a white man's country will be protected by white men only." (Appease.) Mr. Slayden forgets that the homes of white men during the days when the white men aforesaid were trying their level best to destroy this government and to build up one whose corner-stone should be slavery, needed no protection and the slaves, in not one single instance, invaded those homes, but protected and supported them. His speech is simply venerated buncombe and rot-nonsense, sugar-coated with rhetoric. LEARNING TO READ RAPIDLY LEARNING TO READ RAPIDLY. "The senator compared the Negro to the baboon. He called him "the missing link" and finally declared he saw serious trouble and bloodshed ahead in the south as a result of the race question, which he, declared, was the most important thing confronting the American people. As senator from South Carolina he declared no Negro was as good as a white man in his state and that every white man in South Carolina believed he was just as good as any one who walked in shoe leather." The foregoing is from Tillman's address to the students of Eastern Shore College, somewhere in Maryland. But the caterpillar orater destroyed his own assertion when he declared that the Afro-Americans were learning to read and write rapidly and when he admitted that the whites of South Carolina were afraid of them. When old Tillman ever hear of baboons, learning to read and write rapidly? ACTION AND REACTION. It is as true today as in Newton's time that action and reaction are equal and act in opposite directions. Tillman's frzenized brutality has brought forth such expressions from the respectable press as the following: From the Philadelphia Ledger: This "race question" is really the most serious problem now before the American people. Its calm and deliberate consideration is made impossible while an irresponsible firebrand like Tillman is circulating about the country and inciting turbulence and hate. From the Savannah News: It looks as if the Negro question were slowly but surely settling itself, so far as it will ever be possible to settle it, and it is doubtful if Senator Tillman is helping the settlement of it by his intemperate attacks on the Negro in the Northern States. Our relations with our brothers in brown and yellow seem to be steadily growing no better, as shown by the following: Shanghai, Jan.—Native newspapers report that the Chinese foreign office is considering the question of declining to accept American contributions to famine relief as a measure of retaliation for the American rejection of Chinese subscriptions to the relief of the San Francisco earthquake sufferers. THE APPEAL is always delighted to see dark-colored raills declining to accept the badge and collar of inferiority. That old superstition ought to be played out. The Chattancoga clergy have decided that Shakespeare's plays are immoral. That raises the question what harm they can do in such a place as Chattancoga, even if they are? SENATOR WILLIAM B. ALLISON Of Iowa, who refuses to permit members of the upper house to avoid responsibility for action on increase of salaries by the submission of a committee report. SENATOR P. J.

SENATOR BENSON OF KANSAS, Who will be succeeded by Congress man Curtis. VICTOR EMMANUEL, King of Italy, who has just been presented with academic hood of University of Pennsylvania. "Have my goods arrived from T. M. Robuck's?" said a man who called at the express office the other day. "I ordered a pair of sheep shears a month ago." "There are no sheep shears from T. M. Robuck, but here is a cross cut saw from Monteback & Wardheeler for you, and I will tell you. Well, there nothing left for me to do but sell my sheep and go into the ice business, even if the season is late.

Johnson of Cleveland has been pluckily fighting a law infringing street railway. He lore up some of the railway's tracks, an injunction was served against him, and then he in his turn secured another injunction. "We are like the old lady and the dog, with our injunctions and manduances and what not," said Mayor Johnson the other day. "There was, you know, an old lady who rented a furnished villa for the summer, and with the villa a large dog also went. "In the sitting room of the villa there was a comfortable armchair. The old lady liked this chair better than the other the villa. She always made for it the first thing. "But also! she nearly always found the chair occupied by the large dog. "Being afraid of the dog, she never dared bid it harshly to get out of the chair, as she feared that it might bite her; but instead she would go to the window and call 'Cats!' "Then the dog would rush to the window and bark, and the old lady would slip into the vacant chair quietly. "One day the dog entered the room and found the old lady in possession of the chair. He strolled over to the window, and, looking out, appeared much excited, and set up a tremendous barring. "The old lady rose and hastened to the window to see what was the matter, and the dog quietly climbed in'o the chair." King Edward in Cab. His majesty Edward VII traveled by special train about 5 o'clock from St. Pancras to Newmarket, accompanied by the Austrian ambassador. When the king arrived at Newmarket at 6:40 and proceeded to his motor car which was to take his majesty to his rooms it was found that the car could not be got to start, and after one of the two chaffees had made a rapid examination and reported the result a messenger was sent to the cab rank outside the railway station and William Challis, who owns the cab he drives, had the honor of acting as royal coachman and was rewarded by a fee of half a sovereign. Later in the evening the king proceeded to Sir Ernest Cassel's at Moulton padlocks in the car, where he dined. Defective Page KIOKER KOMPLIMENTED.

Making of Vinegar Out of Blackstrap Now a Triviving Industry. Baltimore is getting back a small portion of her molasses trade, which a half of a century ago was a large item in the city's economy, those good old days before the trusts molasses-laden schooners were always to be seen in the harbor, having brought their carges from Louisiana and Porto Rico. With the forging from business of the small bakery by the big bluff, and cake companies the demand for molasses in large quantities, Baltimore has a unique event when a molasses-laden schooner makes port. While this bakery trade has never returned, the trade of the ordinary Porto Rico blackstrap molasses for other purposes has within the last year brought about a resumption of the trade and during the last season no fewer than five large cargoes of molasses have come to port, with more to follow. We large four-masted schooner Robert H. McCurdy is now in port unloading a big cargo from San Juan, Porto Rico. Her cargo consists of 3,008 barrels of blackstrap. As is the custom, the barrels are roiled to Bowley's wharf and placed on their sides. With her cargo almost completely discharged the McCurdy's molasses barrels cover a little more than an acre. This molasses, a great percentage of which is alcohol, is now used by two Baltimore farms for the manufacture of vinegar. It is not generally known that the best table vinegar is not made any more from hard cider. It is only in recent years that blackstrap molasses has been used for this purpose. Well-known wholesale grocers are authority for the statement that this vinegar is of the best quality. It is likely that from now on the molasses schooners will be making port every three weeks during the season. Contains Oil, Which, Heat Expands Till the Kernel Explodes. "What makes popcorn pop?" asks the inquisitive youngster. By the evasive replies he receives, says Good Housekeeping, it is evident that the real reason is not generally known. The different kinds of corn contain oil in various proportions. In popcorn there is a considerable amount. This expands when heated, becomes explosive and causes the kernels to pop open. In common corn the percentage of oil is small and for this reason it only cracks, without exploding, when heated. Popcorn is inexpensive and nutritious as well, if not used to overindulgence. From soup to dessert it finds its place on menus, while a great variety of sweets must be of it. It is a pleasing concept of to-day to sprinkle large and perfect grains of freshly popped corn over light, thin cream soups just as each portion is served. Floating on the surface, they are certainly attractive and also a most excellent substitute for wafers or croutons. Another clever idea is to serve fresh buttered noisem corn with salad. The combination is delicious and the corn should be tastefully arranged, encircling a mound of salad. Popcorn, either sugared or buttered may fitly be served with plain ice cream and ices and the combination is both novel and dainty. HOW TO SEE FOUR MOUNS. Experiment Can Be Tried With a Minerals Sheet or Night Mirror on a Cloudless Night. A pretty experiment can be made with a mirror any night when there is a full moon. Hold the mirror so that the moon's image will be seen in it and you will be sure to see four moons instead of one. One moon will be very clear and will be on the side in a straight line and quite tall, one dull image on one side of the bright moon and the other two on the other side. Turn the mirror around slowly, still holding its fact to the moon, and the reflections will seem to revolve around a common center. You can make the same experiment with any one of the very bright stars, such as Sirius Venus or Jupiter, but with these there will be three images instead of four, as the number seen depends upon the breadth of the object. The explanation is simple. There are two surfaces in a mirror, one is front and the other where the quicksilver is. The brightest reflection comes from the object itself, the others are what is known as "secondary images" reflected from the front to the back of the mirror and thence to the eye. The magic mirror never fails to excite a good deal of wonder and is an interesting experiment as well. Father Vaughan a Humorist. father Bernard Vaughan, whose onslaught on the English "smart set" is attracting so much attention, has plenty of humor. Once at Trinity college, Cambridge he was studying Holbein's picture of Henry III. "What would you do, as a Jesuit, if his majesty stepped out of the canvas?" Father Vaughan replied promptly: "I should request the ladies to leave the room." Abbe Wants Rewsrd. It is stated that the Abbe Delarue, the newly found cure of Chanentail, has sent in a claim for the reward of £40 offered to anybody giving the first information about him. "I was the first to give information as to my own identity," he says, "and I consider that I am entitled to receive the reward." She Was His Mother-in-Law. A beat being rowed by a guardian fisherman named Vogel across the lake from Vingel to Bienne, Switzerland, captured a few days ago. A young man swam out to the woman's assistance and brought her astore he dropped her on the ground and walked away. When the man was informed later by the doctor that he had endangered the woman's life by his heartless action he replied: "Sir, she is my mother-in-law. For the last year she has made my home a misery. If I had known sooner I would have climbed a tree and looked on." GULF OF MEXICO IS DEEP. Two Thousand Fathoms the Figure Established by Hydrographic Office. An elaborate report has just been received at the navy department from Lieutenant Soley, U. S. N., on the gulf stream. Lieutenant Soley has charge of the gulf stream and has shown conclusively, in his report that the gulf stream has an existence in the Gulf of Mexico, a fact which has hitherto been in dispute. According to Lieutenant Soley the stream flows in the Gulf of Nucatane channel, where the water is deep, 1,200 fathoms in the center, and flows out through the Straits of Florida, where the depth is less. The center of the Gulf is deeper than the straits, more than 2,000 fathoms deep, and the water here is very cold. The main current of the gulf is $ ^{a} $ distinct part of the gulf stream. It comes from the equatorial current, flowing westward through the Caribbean sea, which is warm, with a temperature of 80 degrees, until it flows into the cooler waters of the gulf by the Yucatan channel. The stream follows the general line of the coast until it passes out by Florida. There are some counter currents in the gulf. A notable fact is that the currents of the rivers emplying the Gulf of Mexico right-to-the west—at Mobile and the delta of the Mississippi and to the south along the Mexican coast.

BEST OF THE SHADE TREES. fard Maples, Oaks, Sycamores and Honey Locusts Are Hardy. During a severe storm in Washington, D. C., this summer it is estimated that 1,000 trees were badly injured. The soft or silver maple suffered by far the greatest loss, while the Carolina poplar, or cottonwood, was also badly broken. Norway maple, sugar maple, all the oaks, Oriental plane or European sycamore, honey locust, most of the coniferous trees and ginkgo were among those which were able to withstand the beating and bending which the storm caused for an hour or two. There are two trees, the silver maple and the cottonwood, which are more popular with the mass of tree planters than all other shade trees of America. Both have one fatal qualification, that of rapid growth. Losing sight of permanency and many more excellent qualifications, these two inferior trees are planted to the exclusion of all other trees. Both these trees are short lived, very much diseased, attacked by innumerable insects, while both are seriously damaged by wind storms. Both require much water and send their roots into sewers, wells and cisterns, which they frequently destroy. HIT HER MOTHER HARD. Little Girl Knew What to Say When Brother Played Papa. The Rev. C. H. Mead of New York, whose eloquence was one of the features of the great Chester Heights camp meeting, said of children: "We are prone to forget that children have clear eyes and sharp eyes. Because they don't criticise us we think that they don't heed us. A great error. Children watch us closely, and we should try to set them a good example. "There was a poor lady the other day who hastened to the nursery and said to her little daughter: "Minnie, what do you mean by shouting and screaming? Play quietly, like Tommy. See, he doesn't make a sound." "Of course he doesn't," said the little girl. "That is our game. He is papa coming late, and I am you." Placing the Blame In a Courland village two neighboring inns were owned respectively by a Mr. Lahzis and a Mr. Strunkis, keen rivals for the patronage of the public. Their rivalry grew into bitter enmity when the better class of travelers generally seemed to prefer Lahzis's house, while Strunkis had to content himself with the smaller fry of traveling art-sans. One day recently the two innkeepers, standing at their respective doors, got up an alteration, during which Lahzis twisted Strunkis with the inferior social standing of the latter's customers, whereupon Strunkis became furious and hurled a stone at his more prosperous rival. He missed his mark, but the stone went through one of Lahzis's windows. The result was a lawsuit, and a witness named Jahne gave evidence to the effect that he was passing when the stone was thrown, and that it would have struck him had he not ducked just in time. Whereupon the village soles decided that Jahne is responsible for the damage, for as they say, if Jahne had not ducked his head the window would not have been broken at all—Riga Baltische Post. Dress of Chinese Girl Students Dress of Chinese Girl Students. Chinese girl students are no longer to be allowed to dress as they please. So the board of education has decreed, says the South China Post. Such an announcement suggests an opening in China for a rational dress league. Little "illies" accustomed to loose "pants" long jackets and wabby shoes are now, by order of that August body, the board of education, to don a "physical exercise" costume, after which they will appear in the classroom in suitable attire for ordinary school wear. The new rule may raise a smile, but along with the anti-footbinding crusade, which now receives official support, it points to the dawn of a new era for the benighted women of Cathay. Who Cares?

In old Greenwich village is the Greenwich triangle, bounded by Greenwich avenue, West Eleventh and West Tenth streets and Sixth avenue. Within this territory, inhabited by 1,000 persons, there are two streets, two avenues, two places, a row, an alley and 100 houses. One of the places is Milligan place, a small blind alley running not at right angles to Sixth avenue, but diagonally from it. It is made up of four houses, each with a frontage of 17.5 feet, but each with a different depth. At Eleventh street and Sixth avenue the corner is beveled. A little way beyond on Eleventh street there is a blind alley, and beyond that is Garden row, a row of houses with a garden or plot of greenward and trees in front of each. To the west of Greenwich row are fifteen houses built to the stoop line. On Greenwich avenue from Eleventh to Tenth street, south, there are twenty-five buildings, no two of which have exactly the same dimensions of lot, either in frontage or depth. The line of West Tenth street between Greenwish avenue and Sixth avenue is broken by Patchen place, which includes eleven house s of different lines of frontage, six of which have the depth of 60 feet, while the other five vary in depth from 68.8 to 136 feet. The irregularities of this block extend further than the frontage of the streets composing it and include the irregularities of the two blind alleys, Patchen and Milligan places. At the end of each there is to be seen after nightfall a lantern, recalling the days of old New York when the constables united to other duties those of official lampighters. As many as 150,000 persons a day pass the Greenwich triangle. Those of them who are observant perceive something unusual in New York city—trees growing upon the tops of houses. Such Railroading. "Such railroading," said President Baer of the Reading line, apropos of reckless running, "reminds me of an Irish brakeman. "This brakeman, who was employed on a railway in the neighborhood of Cook, was annoyed one morning to find the train stopping in a desolate place miles away from any station. "He ran to the cab and shouted to the engineer: "Hi, ye omadhoun, what are ye stoppin' here fur? "The engineer retorted angrily: "Don't you see the signal's agin us, ye gooson? "Musha," said the brakeman, 'how mighty particular ye're gettin'!" A Materialist on Marriage. Gen. Young, at a wedding in Washington, was condemning materialists and materialism. "What, precisely, is a materialist?" a young girl asked. "A materialist," said Gen. Young, "one who sees only the material side of things, one to whom the spiritual side is invisible." He looked about him at the happy bridal party. "Thus a materialist," he went on, "would call marriage merely a state wherein you give a woman half your victuals to get the other half cooked."

Qualifying Witnesses In order to test a Chinese witness' qualifications for taking the oath an English magistrate asked him the other day where he expected to go when he died. He replied, "Pekin," and was disqualified. Once in another English court a little girl in answer to that question said, "I don't know." The horrified counsel called the judge's attention to the answer. "Oh, I don't know, either," said the judge; "swear the witness." An Ancient Commission The original commission of Thomas Lord Fairfax, Baron of Cameron, was found several days ago at Winchester, Va., among some old relics and documents bought by Dr. Charles von Witt of that city. It is elaborately engraved on parchment, dated in England, April, 1738, and is in a fair state of preservation. Have the Style. Poodle—Why in the world does such a homely dog as you want to wear a jeweled collar? Bulldog—Why not? I've seen plenty of ugly women with diamond peckaces. He Would Do. "Have you had any experience as chauffeur?" "Well, I can show you the receipts for the fines I have paid." The First Day of Summer. The Moon—Are there many men at the beach? The Sun—Not many—but there are girls to burn! Through America's Dead Sea Runs a Railroad. Right through Great Salt Lake—the Dead sea of the New world—runs a railroad. The actual length of this, the longest trestle in the world, is twelve miles. It contains 25,000 piles, the longest single pile being 96 feet and the longest spliced pile 120 feet. The cost of constructing this wonderful piece of railroad was $5,000,000.
