The Appeal

THE APPEAL KEEPS IN FRONT BECAUSE: 1-It aims to publish all the news possible. 2-It does so impartially, wasting no words. 3-Its correspondents are able and energetic. VOL. 23. NO. 5. "UNWRITTEN LAW" THE NEWEST FASHION IN DEE From Sickles-Key Case to Thaw-White M How It Has Progressed. "UNWRITTEN LAW" THE NEWEST FASHION IN DEFENSE Much is heard now of the phrase, "The Unwritten Law." Hardly is there committed any crime of violence, to avenge a woman wronged, into which can be injected sympathetic circumstances which seem to palliate the murder, but what the assassin pleads for his justification "The Unwritten Law." When Harry Thaw on that summer night on the roof of the Madison Square Garden, drew his murderous pistol on Stanford White, he did more than hate a hateful. He put into criminal possession a phrase which, although not new, had been seldom heard, put where it is now destined to figure often in murder trials in the next few years. "The Unwritten Law." They are all using it in their pleas. Mrs. Birdsong, Judge Favrot, Mrs. Bradley suggest themselves immediately, and not a week passes but the press gives the name of others. Briefly expressed, the "Unwritten Law" assumes that over and above any earthly regulations to be found in the works of Justin, Coke, Littleton or Blackstone, is a higher law based on an abstract justice, which provides that where the law does not override their revenge for a woman wronged, it is using the wronged woman or her male defender to execute vengeance. The plea is absolutely one of sentiment. Nowhere in the entire range of legal lore will be found a word that supports it. It is opposed to the belief of the courts that the worst thing that can happen to a community is for individuals to take the law into their own hands, even though it be to punish them. Yet the "Unwritten Law" is popular, not only as a means of defense, but as an appeal for sympathy. The Thaw case is an illustration. The life of the entire trio concerned in the drama was subject to gravest criticism. None of them had so lived to as deserve public sympathy or even tolerance. Thaw had been a wild devil-may-care, whose extravagance and moral lapses were often subject for comment. His wife, the beautiful Evelyn Nesbitt, at least up to the time of the murder, left the existence of the butterfly, model, actress and rich masculine driver's boon companion. White, though a man of great ability, had indulged himself in habits of loose living that could not but grieve the conservative. The manner of the White's killing was not brave. The assassin walked up behind an unarmed, helpless man with a stable, and shot him without warning. The yet instant Thaw pleaded lusti- The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text or graphics. It appears to be a grayscale photograph with indistinct features.

In casting about for counsel to fight his case Thaw went to California for Delmas, a lawyer who has made his reputation by cases won on the plea of justification. This case, although it still remains untried, and may have a different ending from that expected by the defense, launched the "Unwritten Law" into the fashion in homicides. The case of Mrs. Angie Birdson of Mississippi, which has been decided, may indicate this. Her physician and close friend, Dr. Butler, was discovered by the lady to be circulating slander concerning her character. Evidence of his guilt in this tattling role must have been satisfying to Mrs. Birdson, for she at once took means to properly pitish her tracer. The average woman would have gone to her husband and suggested that he adjust the matter, but Mrs. Birdson was made of stoper stuff. Instead, she sought Butler out and shot him down in the public street, firing shot after shot into his body after the first bullet had brought him to the ground. This happened in Mississippi, a state famed for its chivalry to the fair sex. Fullest effort was made to get the sympathy of the jury. The children of the defendant hung to her skirts while the case was being tried, and a star attorney pleaded the justification of the "Unwritten Law," with commanding eloquence. The lawyer and his associates in the defense were so confident of an acquittal that they were prepared to submit the case without a defense. Yet the jury found a verdict of guilt of manslaughter, and Mrs. Birdson, unless an appeal brings some relief, because the case was not labor, because in this instance the "Unwritten Law" did not hold good. Mississippi has also furnished another case of a similar kind, only in this case the husband himself executed the vengeance. Baton Rouge society sustained its greatest shock of two decades recently, when Congressman elect George K. Favrot shot to death Dr. H. H. Aldrich. Favrot was a man who should have known the law, for previous to his election to congress, he had been a respected judge. Yet when arrested he said that the dead man had injured him in a way for which the processes of the law furnished no adequate response. This, Favrot said, was abundant excuse for taking Aldrich's life. Forthwith Judge Kernan, who advocated the principal of the "Unwritten Law" at 1. the American Bar association's annual meeting, was retained to make the figure. This case is still pending; so is that of Mrs. Annie M. Bradley. In the latter tragedy the conditions were somewhat different. Here the grievance was that Arthur G. Brown, Different. "Ma!"

Utah, refused to ship Mrs. Bradley, with whom he had for years, and who was the mother of his children. This tragedy took place in Hotel Raleigh, Washington, and the victim made it a sensation. An examination into his life showes its unworthiness. He had been married twice, deserting his first spouse for who became his second, after divorce he believed him of ties of his first marriage. The second wife introduced to Brown Mrs. Anna M. Bradley, a woman of ability, who was secretary of the Republican delegation from Utah to the national convention of 1896 that nominated McKinley. From that time Brown lived a life divided between the two women. In 1905 the wife died, and Mrs. Bradley demanded Brown marry her. He refused, and the quarrel lasted until it ended with the shooting in the Wash- ington. Before the breath had left the body of Brown, Mrs. Bradley had decided to base her defense on the "Unwritten Law." GEORGE K. FAVROT, Congressman-elect. All these assassins—Thaw, Mrs. Birdsong, Mrs. Bradley and Favrot—go back for a precedent to the first great case of the "Unwritten Law," a classic in murder trials—that of Gen. Sickles, for killing Key, a son of the famous author of "The Star-Spangled Banner." Sickles, then an honored congressman, came into possession of knowledge that his wife was intimate with Key. Returning home, he caught the younger man waving a farewell to Mrs. Sickles, who lewned from a window to say goodbye. Pursuing Key, she found him that such an offense could only be禁闭 for by death, and shot him down. Public sympathy, with Sickles from the start, was heightened when, during the trial, it transpired that Key had boasted he cared little for Mrs. Sickles, but gloried in his crime. Sickles was acquitted, and then chivalrously offered to take back his wife and give her the shelter of his name. She little bit pleased with it, and she did. This probably began the "Unwritten Law." It is almost the favorite precedent, and if Thaw should be freed on the same plea its popularity will take another bound. ROUGHING IT AT KINEO. The city man sojourning at Kineo, grown tired of the ridiculous fashion of donning evening clothes for dinner in a backwoods hotel, fancies he would like to strike into the woods and rough it a while. Whereupon he hires a guide, with whom all the arrangements are naturally left—the buying of provisions and supplies, the selection of the route etc.—and paddles away in a canoe to camp out. By a happy chance, says Outing, they reach the comfortable farmhouse on Chesnook lake the first after dinner, whose shores are no mosquitoes to bother, and every comfort of home to be had, the guide suggests that they put up for the night. The next morning it is a little rough on the lake, perhaps; so they wait until after dinner for the water to become smooth enough to paddle across. Dinner at the farmhouse. In the afternoon they proceed leisurely and, by another happy coincidence, reach the comfortable cabin at Mud Pond at about sundown, where they put up for the night. After a week of this sort of camping out, the sportsman, having been guided from one comfortable camp to another, returns to Kineo, and presents himself with an astounding worth of fishing tackle to the guide. Then he goes home and tells wonderful stories of his adventures in the Maine woods. "What makes the old deacon holle so loud when he plays in meetin'?"

IT IS THE DAY OF THE DANCER Dancers enthralling kings; dancers wedding millionaires; dancers buying yachts and automobiles; dancers talking cities by storm and drawing higher salaries than tenors and prima donna! This is the record from day to day The dancer was never more feded more sought for than now. Truly it is the age for the muse of terpsichore. For a time it looked as though dancing were a lost art. For half a century, the art as it has been practiced in the brilliant days of Eliser and Tanglion seemed to have passed. True, the grand opera at St. still had its ballet, and in all parts of the world the ballet show, as an excuse for displaying the glories of the feminine form divine, continued to hold sway. But it was the loveliness of the woman, not the art of the dancer, that formed the prime requisite. Now the dancer has come back to her own. The poetry of motion is the aim of the amusement pervoyer. He wants the performer who has mastered all the beautiful evolutions that appeal to the eye. She ought to be beautiful, or course, but this is not essential, if she can but dance. The names of dozens of dancers THE MASTER THE DANCE It has been the usual experience of the dancer to come up from the ranks, to have been an humble performer at first, a child dancer, a prodigy. Of such a kind is Merode, who began as an inconspicuous member of the ballet at the Grand opera, Paris, and worked her way to the top. Otero, who is mentioned as one of the stars that Alfonso hopes to take to Madrid, is a noblewoman, daughter of the Count and Countess Cassafsw. She was born in Italy, and gained fame as a dancer when only eight years old. She married the marquis of Otero when she was only thirteen years old, eloped from him at sixteen, and was divorced from him in 1889. Many men with royal names have involved themselves in serious trouble for love of this siren of the dance. The brother of the empress of Germany, the Duke Ernest Gunther of Schleswig-Holtelet, was omitted from the court. Defective Page circular on account of his persistent attentions to Otero, and it was even said that the crown prince of Germany, now the emperor, was a victim to her charms. Otero, after a long and varied career, in which at various periods she has been lionized in every capital of Europe, has finally decided to settle down and marry, a wealthy Englishman named Webb. But she will not quit the stage. Like women who once taste the joy of reigning as an emperor of the dance, she is determined to continue to pivotette her way into the applause of the multitude, and more now than ever since as a part result of her own innimitable art, dancers all over the world are reaping a harvest such as none could have predicted. The Spanish girl is generally esteemed to be the best dancer, with the Italian second. The daughters of Castle have a dash and passionate abandon that seems to be lacking in other women, who, while they may possess limitless grace, do not imbue the measures of the dance with the proper fire. In Spain they have never ceased to love the dance. The composers of that country have neglected opera in favor of dance music, because they found in THE DANCE OF THE DAY the latter an easier and quicker road to popularity. And the women of the South of Spain will go through in order to master a famous step. For the great dance of the flamenco they regard it as no hardship to begin practicing in childhood and work for eight years, in order to finally obtain perfection. There are some figures in this dance that really put the performer to a terrific muscular strain, but the delight it gives to the throngs and the resulting applause is always felt to be liberal repayment to the artist. Alfonso will have to make a battle in order to monopolize the star dancers of the capitals of Europe. At the opera house, a dozen theaters and dance halls, Paris has use for as many THE BALLET BALLET --- OLD-FASHIONED PREMIER In days of Elisler and Taglioni. high-class dancers as it can get. In fact the supply is short of the demand. It is the day of the dancer, a time when the properly educated feet of a prince worth worth in salary than the cultivated brains of a college professor.

The Chinese must have their feet as diminutive as those of a goat, and to render them thus their youth is passed in tortures. In ancient Persia an aquiline nose was often thought worthy of the crown, and if there was any competition between two princes the people generally went by this criterion of majesty. In some countries the mothers break the noses of their children and in others press the head between two boards that it may become flat. The modern Persians have a strong aversion to red hair. The Turks, on the contrary, are warm admirers of it. In China small, round eyes are like and the girls are constantly plucking their eyebrows that they may look thin and long.

NEEDED FRESH AIR CHIVALROUS OLD SECRETARY HAD RECEIVED SHOCK. Was Not Used to the Presence of Feminine Writers of Anonymous Letters—Hence His Instructions to Messenger. A good story is told concerning the treatment a chivalrous old cabinet officer from the south, who served in one of the Cleveland cabinets, dished out a writer of anonymous letters. A few months before this cabinet officer accepted his portfolio a woman had been discharged from his department for insubordination. Not long after this woman's dismissal a woman clerk in the same division began to receive a shocking series of anonymous letters. The letters were obviously written by a woman, but the recipient of no notion at all to what woman could be the author of them. She finally turned a batch of the letters over to the chief of her division, and elderly and kindly man of family. The courtly old southwoman carried the letters straight to the secretary. The latter picked up one of the letters and started to read it. "Now, here is an odd thing," he said, and he touched the bell for his secretary. "Bring me," he said to his secretary, "the letter I received a few days ago from that woman who was discharged from the blank division before I came here and who applied to me for reinstatement." The clerk brought the letter his chief wanted. The secretary compared it with one of the anonymous letters. Both were written in an odd backslanting handwriting, and there could be no mistake about their being written by the same hand. The secretary sent a special messenger to the address of the woman who had applied to him for reinstatement, and she was at his office an hour later. The secretary, a cavalier of the old south, rose from his desk and gravely greeted the woman when she entered his office. "Madam," he said, "I do not know whether the position you formerly held required that you should be a judge of different sorts of handwriting. At any rate, I should like to ask your opinion of the handwriting of these two letters," and he handed the woman her own letter applying for reinstatement and the last anonymous letter received by her victim. The woman took the two letters and she saw that she was in a trap. Since you ask me, Mr. Secretary," she sheared, undaunted, "I repay that two letters were unquestionably written by the same hand," and she flounced out of the office. The old secretary sat tilted back in his chair, his head on his bosom, and reflected for a long while. Then he touched the button for his negro messenger. "Mose," he said, when the messenger appeared, "open all of the windows," and the negro opened them, looking surprised, for it was midwinter and the snow was thick on the outside sills. "And Mose, start those two electric fans "going." "What's that mattuh, suh?" inquired the darkey, a privileged old retainer. "Nothing, Mose, nothing," replied the secretary, thoughtfully, "except that the man was just in here, and I want to fumigate and dispel the memory of it." NOW HAVE PRESS AGENTS Valuable Addition to Staff of Department Heads. An entirely new feature in the big government machine in Washington, the departmental press agent, has come into existence in the last few years. It is growing. The reclamation service, which has charge of gigantic federal irrigation projects in the West, was the pioneer. When this work was undertaken its vast importance and the millions to be expended made it of national interest. But the nature of the work, the language of it and all the details were brand-new. Director Newell was overwhelmed by Washington correspondents and others seeking information. It was hard to find time to do any work. In desperation, after many conferences on the subject, he solved the problem by giving a newspaper man an appointment and making him publicity agent. It worked well for all concerned. Gifford Pinchot followed by placing a press agent, a former newspaper writer, in the forestry bureau for the diffusion of useful information. The agricultural department is thinking of getting a press agent to exploit its work in intelligent fashion, and the postoffice department is experimenting with "copy" telling about departmental affairs. The press agent's title is not officially recognized, but he's in the service and doing valuable work. Had to Have the Wherewithal. Senator Beveridge of Indiana went up in Wisconsin to fish and commune with nature, with no companion but his guide, who was cook in the camp also, says the Washington Star. The senator is not a good fisherman. He was out one morning trying to get some trout and making a poor list of it, when another boat came along and the fisherman in it began a conversation. They talked on general topics for a time, and the stranger finally asked, "Is your man a good cook?" "He is," broke in the Beaveridge guide, as he looked scornfully at the senator's empty creel, "he is—when he has anything to cook." HAVE YOU READ THE APPEAL? ST.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1907 SENATOR TILLMAN AND "SOCIAL EQUALITY." What is Senator Tillman up to? What was the occasion for his harangue about the supremacy of the white race and his disgusting allusion to social equality? It has always seemed to us that a Southern white man degraded himself by leven discussing questions of this character, unless the subject was forced upon him, and even then his part of the debate should be like a sword duel—a cut and a thrust and have it over as soon as possible. Does a Southern senator elevate his own position or magnify white supremacy by strutting around the chamber, foaming at the mouth, protesting that he is better than a black man and that he abhors mixed marriages? We hope that the decent people at the North do not judge Southern manners by the Tillman samples. There was no occasion for Mr. Tillman's harangue on racial supremacy and social equality. Thus sayeth the Richmond Times-Dispatch, and thereby manifests its inability to know a good thing when it sees it. Tillman's performances M. B. HON. SHELBY M. CULLOM. Illinois' Grand Old Man, Reelected U. S. Senator for Fifth Term. are unique and inimitable; and, more court that he could not make the over add very greatly to the galley of junction work, as he could not get the senate, which is well known to be person to pay any attention to his of too pessimistic a temperament to it either set up a real first-class vaudeville. But when Jeff Davis and Vardaman and fiddling Bob join the company, as they are expected to do soon, the South will be suitably represented and will doubtless control the deliberations of the body, repeal the 14th and 15th amendments and cut-up Jack generally. Tillman believes in free speech—the freer from sense, decency and decorum, the better. He would be a Lucy Parsons or Carrie Nation if he only had as much sense as those ladies. If he be censured for being a crank upon the subject of social equality, the censure includes those noble statesmen like Hoke Smith, John Temple Graves, Tom Dixon, et al. When Tillman butts into the subject of "social equality," it serves him as Tom Callender's horse did John Gilpin. Or as some others explain the matter: Tis the sunset of life gives him mysti cal lore. And coming events cast their shadows before. An English writer, in comparing trades unions in America and England, points out that the one feature over here of marked dissimilarity to home unions is the lack of beneficence. The sick benefits, burial funds, and pension funds that are leading features of English trades unions are lacking in the United States. There is an important exception to the foregoing statement from the Chicago Journal, which that paper does not mention. It is this: Among the Afro-Americans there exist several national organizations: the Masons, Odd Fellows, Brothers of Friendship, the Knights of Pythias and others. In all of these the beneficences are the most prominent feature and they are doing a vast amount of good. For instance, in one state the female order of the Eastern Star last year dispensed over $16,000 in beneficences. In some other states, more still, in the same direction was done. Directly after reconstruction times one could scarcely traverse the streets of a Southern city without meeting someone with a subscription paper, who was begging a little money to bury Uncle Tony or Aunt Dilsey who died the night before. This practice has disappeared; for everybody belongs to some society and the society foots the bill. VERY ENCOURAGING. It is a very encouraging indication to see how some of the Southern journals are ripping up the windy blather-skites who are constantly making that section ridiculous and uninfluential by their extravagant ravings. The Baltimore Sun fairly tears the hide off from the newly-elected senator, Gorman, about some of his nonsense, and concludes thus: It is a fine thing to be a leader, if one only knows how. "I cannot pass on the character of Northern audiences, but I say that lecture lyceums and chautaquas are not supported by ignorant people, nor poor people, and when I see so many types of low, stinking ward politicians among the Northern Democrats," said Mr. Tillman with a sneer, "I sometimes feel that I will never have any use for any more of them." Ex pele Herculem. No one could have uttered such a sentiment in such a place, but Tillman. The Cumberland building is in Memphis, Teann., but whether or not it is in the United States remains to be investigated. An U. S. Deputy Marshal recently visited the premises in order to serve an injunction from an U. S. District court. He had a very lively, but scarcely a gratifying time, as he found the vicinity of the building occupied by an immense crowd of the law-abiding white people who are so shocked at the lawlessness of the Afro-Americans, and who set them so many fine examples to no purpose, such is the deprivation of the accursed race. The marshal attempted to make proclamation of the injunction from the lotty eminence of a dry-goods box, which happened to be near, but the crowd bamboozled and bulldozed and caterwauled the unwelcome visitor until he retired. He reported to the court that he could not make the injunction work, as he could not get any person to pay any attention to him or to it either. SAYS TOLSTOL Tolstoi says: Religion is truth and goodness, the church falsehood and evil. I tell you frankly I can not agree with those who believe the church is an organization indispensable for religion. The church has ever been a cruel and lying institution which in seeking for temporal advantages has perverted and distorted the true Christian doctrine. Christianity has ever been simply a pretext for the church. The foregoing is simply on a par with many other absurdities given utterance to by this very foolish old creature. Yet, for some unimaginable reason, there are people who greatly admire Tolstoi. We can see nothing striking about the old man, except that he has written some of the most stupid and filthy trash that ever was published. REV. J. G. Rawlings, who was recently hanged in Georgia, just before his lamented decease, thus said to his accomplice, Alf Moore: "Alf I will give you $100 if you will go with my beys tonight and kill old man Carter. I want the whole damn family wiped out. I want you to kill the old man, the old lady, the daughters and the kids, too. If any of those damn kids run out I want them riddled with bullets and thrown back in the house and the whole damn place burned." Mr. Rawlings claim to being one of the best citizens of Hoke Smith's dominion seems to be firmly established by the above. An Afro-American correspondent of the Chicago Chronicle expresses himself as follows: "A high sense of honor and fair dealing is said to be one of the leading traits of American character. So generous are they in the exercise of this spirit that the oppressed of every nation feel that they can find here an asylum." The question arises: Is the statement in the second sentence true, either entirely or approximately? We suggest that the aforesaid oppressed do not come here to find an asylum but to make all the money they can and to carry it back home. They take the money but curse the country. The Dutch have had nominal control of the island of Sumatra for a great many years, but they are still fighting with the natives. Word has just been received of a fight between the Dutch and the natives on Balf, the next island to Java. In this engagement two princes and their women and children were captured and an entire native army of 400 men wiped out. The loss on the Dutch side was four men killed and ten wounded. They seldom take any prisoners in these islands, the fighting is generally to the death and the deaths are usually confined to the native men. Ctl. Hiestand, who has lived long and held important positions in China, says: "We have less to fear from the Chinese, with or without exclusion laws, than we have from irresponsible and unprincipled agitators among us who endeavor to divide the American people into classes, to inspire and foster discontent and viciousness, to arraign class against class, to strike a blow at our material prosperity by arousing prejudice against those whose energy and ability have created and maintained it." The Washington Herald remarks: Senator Morgan's declaration that the Democratic party wants nothing but white men in the ranks looks like base ingratitude toward those Oklahoma Indians who saved the state. Of course that won't do at all; for there are the descendants of Pocohontas in Virginia and those of old LeFlore in Mississippi and many others here and there who are only nominally "white." The Senator had better not bite off more than he can chew. The Senate has christened it "the civil war," out of respect to the feelings of our Southern-brethren. For the same reason it should decide that we must always speak of the James Crow car law.

Attacked by Indians in Early Days, They Buried the Treasure. We have heard of buried treasures, but did you ever know of a case in which one was found? Well, Joe Prentice of Hebron, Neb., formerly of Sabetha, some time ago found a buried treasure, says the *Sabetha* (Kan.) Herald. Prentice formerly operated a hardware store in Sabetha. Prentice traded the store to John M. Evans, now a resident of Ohio, and got, among other things, a farm near Hebron, Neb. People laughed at Prentice a good deal because of the farm. He was indeed much of a farming country then. When Prentice got hold of the farm Evans told him the following story: A party of immigrants were traveling over the country in the early days to seek their fortunes in the Far West. One night near the present site of Hebron the party was attacked by Indian men, and the son was wounded. The Indians were routed. The wounded man was taken to Fort Kearay and his brother was sent for. When the brother arrived the wounded man told him as nearly as possible where he had buried more than $2,000 during the night of the Indian attack. The wounded man died, and the man not unearth the gold. Later the land was sold and was supposed to be buried passed into the hands of Evans. Evans tried but could not locate the gold. Prentice paid no attention to the story. Some time ago while he was grading down the road near his house he uncovered on a steep incline a rusty can such as tomatoes and apples are put up in. Opening the can, Prentice counted out $2,136.50 in gold and silver. In addition to this the farm which the people joked Prentice so much about is now a very valuable property.

Teaching has now become a respectable profession and young women, after passing the normal examinations, elect to become tutoreses in distant parts of the empire, says Calcutta Country and People. Those who are in a position to prosecute their studies to the highest standard learn the French, English and German languages, which they speak fluently. In Constantinople young women are taught the French, English and there are more than 200 nurses at the present day. Female education is not an innovation among the Mohammedons of the present day. Arab and Moorish women in their palmy days, when their European sisters were steeped in ignorance, would deliver sermons and would profess in colleges and schools. The present deplorable position of the Mohammedan females is due to the general degradation of the nation. An awakening is now taking place in some parts of the Mohammedan world and the day may possibly dawn again when the stain of ignorance may be wiped off from the Mohammedan women of this country with the help of government. Doctor Had Spoiled Eleven Pecks of Eyes in Learning How. Herkimer James, the well known scientist, was talking in New York about the bill of $25,000 that Dr. Frank Billings presented to the Marshall Field estate for seven days' treatment of the dead millionaire. "It seems a big fee," said Prof. James. "It comes to more than $3,500 a day, doesn't it? At that rate Dr. Billings' income would be a million and a quarter a year. "Yes, it was a big fee, but whenever physicians' fees seem extortionate I think of a certain famous eye specialist. "A patient of this specialist coming to pay his bill growled: "Doctor, it seems to me that $500 is a big charge for that operation of mine. It didn't take you over half a minute." "My dear sir," the other answered, "in learning to perform that operation in half a minute I have spoiled over eleven pecks of such eyes as yours." Plan Jewish Colonies.
