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. ART'S FIERCE STRAIN WORSE THAN FINANCE'S WORRIES --- VOL. 23. NO. 19. More terrible than the nervous racking of the financier's life is the strain of art. The Sages, Morgans, Rockefellers Guggenheimers go into ripe years despite the excitement of their calling, but the artist who is seized with the desire to excel in his profession ever traverses a tempest-tossed sea, where he steers a dangerous passage between the dangers of a sudden death or, what is far worse, the possibility of death collapse. Nor are these the only perils that confront the musician, the actor or the painter. The recent movement of Julian Story and Emma Eames toward a separation is but another visitation of the woes that confront the virtuoso. "She has the artistic temperament." HEINRICH CONRIED. Who is Now Ill and Obliged to Relinquish Work to Save His Life, said Mr. Story when asked what lay at the bottom of his wife's suit for divorce. This sentence he deemed answer enough. He need go no further. Mrs. Story had the artistic temperament. That meant she lived a life that put it out of question to adapt herself to the hundred annoyances and trivialities that are part of marital existence. And yet at one time this pair was spoken of as the one which proved that the marriage of artists could be happy. The painter and his prima donna spouse were pointed to as the ideal union of talent. Now both speak kindly of each other, but find matrimony incompatible with art. Not so long ago Herr Heinrich Conried was looked on with envy. He was the impressor artist. He had conducted with distinguished success a German theater in New York. When the directors of the Metropolitan opera house sought a successor to Maurice Gran, they did Conried the honor to pick him. The new incumbent of the place started in a manner to show that the truth was not misplaced. In the face of extraordinary difficulties he produced "Parasite" in the United States, and thus put his to the one of the greatest feats in the history of music. He discovered Caruso, and gave the Metropolitan opera house one of the greatest tenors God ever made. Moreover, Conried proved a business man as well as an artist. He not only gave the Metropolitan great opera, but he turned in a handsome profit, something unexpected, but none the less welcome to the business men who support the famous institution. Conried was spoken of as that lucky Heinrich. Then art he forced him to pay the price which must be yielded by those who succeed. Suddenly he was stricken with something which the doctors fear is the beginning of locomotor ataxia. At once he was forced to drop all active work, and though the officials of the Metropolitan will give him a reasonable time to decide whether by next year he will be able to resume direction of the opera, it is feared that he may never be able to take the place again. The question will be fought out at a Swiss sanitarium. Not long after Conried began his battle with one of the most dreaded of nervous troubles, word came from Paris that Maurice Gran, whom Conried succeeded at the Metropolitan, was dead. Grau was still in the prime of his life, and had he picked any other call- Sun Spots and Sun. Heat. Prof. Peters, of the United States naval observatory, maintains that sun spots diminish the heat we receive from the sun, but the terrestrial effect is too slight to be perceptible. The spots appear in the greater number every eleven years. This astronomer is firm in the conviction that if we are ever involved in a celestial catastrophe it will not be due to the sun. A thing well begun is better than a thing overdone. ing, might still have been active and successful, but the terrific stress of handling an enterprise where he paid as much as $25,000 a week in salaries to singers alone made such demands on his nervous vitality that the instant he was stricken the certainty of death was on him The greatest American composer, Edward MacDowell, who occupies in our music a position as secure as that of Poe in our literature, is ending his life with a clouded brain. In fact he is in complete darkness. Yet not so long ago MacDowell was on the high crest of success. A big man, of athletic habits, and a love for adventure, he was the born poet. Locomotor ataxia and aphasia, those disorders most dreaded of the artist, and with which Conried is making his battle, came upon MacDowell and took him from the pinnacle of art back to childhood again. Doctors hold out no hope of his recovery. Equally pitiful is the case of Fritz Scheel, conductor of the Philadelphia orchestra, who died a few weeks ago. A German conductor of authority, who had been the friend and pupil of some of the greatest directors of Europe, Scheel was the United States to conduct a series of concerts at the world's fair. Next he went to Francisco, and finally to Philadelphia. There he speedily built up a place in the regard of musicians, and when the project of a Philadelphia symphony orchestra was broached, every one turned to Scheel as the man to assume direction. Scheel did so with results that were astonishingly successful. His crowning achievement was the first American production of Richard Strauss' tremendously difficult "Sinfonia Domestica," a piece of enterprise that attracted attention to the orchestra from all over the country. But while working for his loved art, Scheel forgot the dangers. His mind gave way. He became a vagabander and finally another had to take over. He was taken away in the hope that a change might prove beneficial, but a complication of troubles brought a death that mercifully saved the musician from THE LADY OF THE MIDDLE AGE Mary MME, EMMA EAMES-STORY. Portrait by Her Husband, Julian Story. Remarkable Will Proviso. There is a remarkable proviso to a bequest by the late Harry Cowen Coley of Bishop's Stortford. Money is conditionally left to the Royal National Lifeboat station, but the deceased's wife or any child of his "shall be at liberty to enter upon, row, or sail in the said boat at any time when she is affloat, be the weather fair or foul, so long as their doing so or their presence there shall not hinder the life-saving efforts of the crew." THE APPEAL. the fate that has overtaken MacDowell. A short time ago a carriage met an incoming train in New York, and a distinguished looking man was helped into it and driven rapidly to his home. The little incident meant that on other artist had paid the price of overwork. The man was the foremost of American actors, Richard Mansfield. He is now completely broken down, and doctors say he will not be able to act before next season, though by the sudden end of his tour he forfeits thousands of dollars. The part of "Peer Gynt" is said to be responsible for Mr. Mansfield's breakdown. THE BONAPARTE LINE IS ALMOST EXTINGUISH Only Ten Members Survive, and There Is No Place in Sight. The Bonaparte are passing—only ten of them remain. In a generation, perhaps, will have gone from existence, the last of the line of that might warrior who overturned all Europe little more than a parte, is now a member of P. Roosevelt's cabinet.

In a generation, perhaps, will have gone from existence the last of the line that might warrior who overturned all Europe little more than a century ago, and put his family on its thrones. Only a short time ago Princess Christina died in Rome. She was a Bonaparte by marriage only, but her husband had the blood of the emperor from two sources. His name was Prince Napoleon Charles Bonaparte. PRINCE VICTOR NAPOLEON BONAPARTE. His father was grandson of Lucien, brother of the great emperor, and his mother was Princess Zenaide, granddaughter of Joseph Bonaparte, whom Napoleon made King of Naples and later king of Spain. Christina's death reduced the number of Bonaparte to ten, which small total would be less surprising were it not for the fact that there were perhaps more than a hundred of them a century ago. It was a big family that the head of the line, Charles Bonaparte, brought into the line, Napoleon, afterwards to the emperor Napoleon, was Joseph; Lucien, who had seven children; Maria Anna, Louis, who married Hortense, daughter of Josephine; Beauharnais, Carloita, Annunciata and Jerome. The lines of this liberal family multiplied. Napoleon had one son, the unfortunate Duke de Reichstadt, who never reigned, and the family he gained by his marriage to Josephine, who was a widow. The line of Louis Bonaparte, king of Holland, produced three sons, the younger of whom became Napoleon III, mounted the throne of France, and gave Josephine the revenge of furnishing in her grandson a king for France, the younger of whom descent the descent of Maria Louise of Austria, for whom Napoleon discarded Josephine. From Jerome, the youngest member of the family, came the Baltimore connections of the Bonapartes, for it was he who married Miss Elizabeth Patterson, whose grandson, Charles Bona- PRINCE LOUIS BONAPARTE. The "golah" at Bankipil, India, was built for a granary in 1783, but has never been used for that purpose. It is 426 feet round at the base, with walls 12 feet 2 inches in thickness, the interior diameter being 109 feet. It is about ninety feet high and might contain 137,000 tons. Inside is a most wonderful echo, best heard from the gallery there is, perhaps, no such building in the world, not even the famous Mormon temple. Defective Page The line of Jerome, after he returned to Europe at the orders of the emperor, cast off his American bride and married a daughter of the king of Wurtemberg, has furnished the present claimant to the Napoleonic succession. Of those who survive the head of the family in point of interest, is the venerable empress Eugenie, now eighty years old, wife of Napoleon III. One of the most pathetic figures of the present day is she when is recalled the glories of the second empire when the lovely Eugenie de Montijo came to France as a queen only to leave the country in flight when the terrors of the commune placed her regal head in danger. The story of that flight is well remembered, for she was saved only by the timely arrival of the American and Italian ambassadors, who took the frightened empress from the Tulleries by stealth while on the outside a mob for her blood. To the home of the American dentist, Dr. Thomas Evans, who conveyed her to the seacoast and then to England. After the death of the emperor at Chislehurst and of his only son, the Prince Imperial, at the hands of the Zulus in Africa, Eugenie retired to Franborough, an hour and a half from London. It was long years before she again returned to that Paris of bitter memories, but she has lately visited the French capital several times, and made the journey for the funeral of Princess Mathilde, in the early days of January, 1904. Princess Clothilde is of somewhat more heroic mould than Eugenie, for when the horror of the commune fell instead of escaping by stealth, Clothilde called for her state carriage and drove through the principal streets of Paris with no effort at concealment. This wonderful courage caused her to be thrown before a same mob that only a few minutes had been hurling threats of death. PRINCESS LAETITIA BONAPARTE, The Dowager Duchess of Aosta. Clothilde is a member of Italy's reigning family. All the surviving Bonapartes except the dethroned empress descend from two lines. First there are the offspring of Lucien, who never accepted a throne from his brother, and married twice according to his own inclinations. The Bonapartes of royal pretensions come through the line of Jerome. Prince Roland Bonaparte, head of the Lucien descendants, is a grandson of the brother of the great emperor and a son of Prince Pierre. Like his grandfather, Prince Roland Bonaparte has several times refused thrones or the chance of succession to them, and to-day knows only the passion of study. There are three more Bonapartes descended from Lucien. One is Roland's sister, Princess Jeanne Bonaparte, wife of the marquis of Villeneuve. Roland and Princess Jeanne have two cousins, the daughters of Princess Christina and Prince Napoleon Charles. One was married in 1891 to an Italian lieutenant of infantry, Cunico Gotti, the other married Prince de la Moskova, a great grandson of Marshal Ney, from whom she is divorced. Both these ladies are childless, therefore there is no chance of the John S. Porteous, of Paducah, Ky, twenty-four years old, is just seven feet tall and is still growing. He is now in colorado for his health, and at a recent secret society parade won the prize for being the tallest in line. His father, wearing a silk hat, can stand under the young man's out- stretched arm, and his mother is quite a small woman. The big stick is all right—if it doesn't get into wrong hands. MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY THE APPEAL STEADILY GAINS BECAUSE: 4-It is the organ of ALL Afro-Americans. 5-It is not controlled by any ring or olique. 6-It asks no support but the people's. line of Lucien being continued on the male side. The Jerome branch is better supplied. Prince Napoleon Joseph and Clothilde were blessed with three children, all of whom are still living. Prince Napoleon Victor is forty-five years old and a bachelor. He is especially an interesting figure from the fact that he is now the claimant to the throne. When Victor Imperial, the son of Eugenie, died, it was found that he had willed the succession to Napoleon Victor. The latter is a man of education and considerable sense. The second son of Clothilde is Prince Louis Napoleon, who at forty-three years of age is also unmarried. Her third child is the Dowager Duchess of Aosta. This beautiful sister of Prince Napoleon and Louis is a noted beauty. She married her uncle, Prince Amadeus of Savoy, exking of Spain. EX-EMPRESS EUGENIE. (Latest Picture.) This glance at the Bonapartes shows how slender is the strand which keeps the name of the family in existence. Save for Roland, Lucien's male issue has died out completely, and only the child of a great granddaughter can perpetuate the line. Jerome has a number of descendants, but unfortunately there are no children among them. Thus within eighty-six years of Napoleon's death at St. Helena one finds his beautiful line threatened with extinction on no very distant day. New Banks Last Year Four hundred and sixty-two new national banks were created in 1906. For the last seven years the average has been within a fraction of forty a month. We now have 6,345 national banks, with $77,079,497 capital and $596,343,022 circulation. Seven years ago the banks numbered 3,617, with $816,308,095 capital and $254,462,730 circulation. Cost of European Armament At the present moment the countries of Europe are spending on their armies and navies as much as $4,000,000 a day. England spends $180,000,000 a year on her navy. This is $5,000,000 more than the combined expenditure of France, Russia and Germany. M. One of the growing methods of cheating in New York is by "short change."

Distrust a man has 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, MAY 11, 1907 A PECULIAR SITUATION A peculiar situation has developed in Warrenburg, Mo., a noted educational center, the seat of the greatest Normal school in the state. The Globe-Democrat gives the following account of the status quo: It is now claimed by those who keep track of school affairs that the teachers of republican families have been gradually eliminated, and the female members of democratic families have been selected to fill their places. In fact, a year ago, it is said, two members of the board were elected on the shoan of "Places in the schools for democrats alone." It is claimed that the idea of making the schools a part of the local democratic machine was so strong that even old and faithful janitors of school buildings were removed and places made for colored men who had been voting with the democrats. And this spring the tax levy to conduct a ten month's school was beaten at the polls the first time in the history of the city. It is claimed that the taxavers, believing the schools were being used as a partisan machine, quietly killed the levy. The result created consternation among school M. HON. ALBERT J. HOPKINS Illinois' Virile Junior Senator Who Will be Reelected at End of Present Term. men generally, as the regular school tax is adequate to conduct the schools for only five months. its back upon the counsels of its prudent and sagacious men and is governed almost entirely by the ravings and All of which indicates very significantly that, despite of the halleujahs of the politicians over the entire elimination of sectional feeling, yet still in that respect, the year of jubilee has not come. Between Southern dictators and Northern flunkes there is, it must be admitted, an amount of gushing affection that would smash a seel mograph, but the South has no use for a man who adheres to the principles which brought the Republican party into existence. The Northern teacher who adheres to even a little of the traditional opinions of his section is oersona non grata all over the South and men of his class are being quietly eliminated from scholastic positions as the result of a concerted plan which, for reasons of policy are not proclaimed upon the houseets. FLORIDA FOOLISHNESS. "Tallahassee, Fla.—The Senate by a vote of 25 to 5 has adopted a joint resolution to declare the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Federal Constitution void and to disfranchise the negro in Florida. The resolution was introduced by Senator John S. Beard, of Pensacola, who spoke at length upon the subject. Senator Beard declared he believed that the Supreme Court of the United States would uphold the action of this State in disfranchising the negro. "The house is overwhelmingly for the resolution, and the question of the legality of the amendments in question will thus go before the United States Supreme Court. Crowded galleries cheered the action of the senate." We quote the above as the most exaggerated specimen of exaggerated toffolem that any of the Jimcrow legislatures has brought forth. The recommendation of the governor of the state that the entire Afro-American population should be deported was a specially brilliant performance, but the legislature has eclipsed the executive. In the opinion of THE APPEAL, the Supreme Court will not be very apt to decide that the legislature of Florida has the authority to declare any portion of the constitution void, as that would imply the right to declare the whole instrument void, which would, of course do away with the court it self. It is not reasonable to suppose that the whole country is prepared to be governed either by joint resolutions of the Florida legislature, or by the alligators and lizards of Okefnokee swamp. The Baltimore Sun says: "It is high time for the prudent and sagacious the graduating class. Wooten has public men of the South to advise the public men of the South to advise the Southern people concerning the conditions which seem to make Mr. Bryan's nomination in 1908 utterly inadmissible from the standpoint of prac faculty announcements that they will take political politics." Unfortunately, the South has turned them. Good! THE LEGEND OF THE TENNESSEE RIVER COUNTY HON. W. T. VERNON its back upon the counsels of its prudent and sagacious men and is governed almost entirely by the ravings and rantings of such blatherings as Tillman, John Temple Graves and Hoke Smith. The substratum of illiteracy upon which southern civilization rests is a most prolific breeding-place for demagogues, for fakirs and featherhead ranters, while it is a regular quagmire for prudent and sagacious men. The ignorant masses of the South have had no proper political training they know nothing and care less for prudence or sagacity; their only code is that it is the proper thing to drink whisky, hate Negroes and Yankees and think themselves the superiors of everybody else. Bryan and his henchmen know exactly how to manipulate this mass of ignorance and immorality; that is in the style adopted in Hoke Smith's campaign in Georgia. BRYAN AND THE DEMS. Mr. Bryan knows that he holds the Democratic reins and is not at all backward in laying down the policy of the party, nor does he care a continental for the time-honored principles what ever they are of the organization, he just forces it to swallow his nostrums without any regard to the state of its stomach. He has now prescribed the initiative and referendum, in other words mob government as the policy of the organization. And the party will be forced to accept the mess, just as is has partially accepted the government ownership theory. The assets of the party consist of a few threadbare traditions, including nullification, but Mr. Bryan is laying in a fresh stock of novelties which he proposes to force upon his victims. TOM WATSON. For some reason or another, old Tom Watson seems unable to travel without coming in contact with the Afro-American attendants upon the railway trains. Not long ago, he swapped a porter over in Texas; and, more recently he struck another in Georgia with his grip-sack. We know nothing about the right or wrong in the matter; but we do know this that the time is past when such things could be done without any risk of unpleasant consequences. There are thousands of Afro-Americans in the South who will give tit for tat, if they die for it a moment afterwards; and Tom may meet one of that kind, if he keeps up his fool coings. The faculty of the Oak Dale, Pa. High School are entitled to the thanks of all fair-minded people for the stand they have taken in regard to Roy Wooten an Afro-American member of the graduating class. Wooten has taken honors and been named as valedictorian, and twelve white members of the class have refused to take part in the commencement exercises. The faculty announces that they will take part or there will be no diplomas for CRYSTAL WEDDING Editor and Mrs. J. Q. Adams Celebrate the 15th Anniversary of their Wedding The residence of Editor and Mrs. J. Q. Adams, No. 527 St. Anthony Ave. on Monday evening, the scene of the largest celebration vate social function ever witnessed in St. Paul (so the guests said who were there). The occasion was the celebration of their "Crystal Wedding" or fifteenth anniversary of their wedding day A large number of invitations had been extended to their friends and acquaintances in the Twin Cities and in other cities. The home of the host and hostess is admirably arranged for ordinary social affairs but on this occasion it was taxed to its utmost capacity to accommodate the throng of guests which filled every room. The rooms had been divested of all superfluous furniture and were tastefully decorated for the occasion. On entering the hall the eyes first made contact of smiles, hanging in the center of the smiley face, in the lorraine in which was a large monogram composed of the letters J. Q. A. pink on one side and white on the other, in fact the color scheme was pink and white. In the front parlor pink and white carnations were found in vases on the mantel and in the second archway hung a frame of smilac extending clear across in which were the figures 1892 and 1893. In the archway between the back pain in the neck and another smilac wreath surrounding the neck. Doors opened from both back parlor and library into the dining room, which was specially decorated with a frieze of pink hunting looped up with white rosettes and streamers at intervals of three. The chandelier to the walls were fifteen chandeliers, white and pink alternating. The table was set on a line running diagonally through the room; overhead was a dome chandelier the center shade of which was pulled on the outward edge. The dome were two pink candle jets, which shed a brilliant light directly upon the table in the center of which was a MR. J. Q. ADAMS large Renaissance lace centerpiece through the meshes of which the pink tint of a mat underneath could be seen. Upon the centerpiece was a mirror vase, decorated with a pink glass vase, decorated with a pink ribbon bow, and filled with pink and white roses. At each corner of the table was a large pink ribbon bow the streamers of which extended to the floor. Dressed with dishcloth, filled with salted nuts, olives, pickles, pink and white reception wafers and a few furs formed of napkins and ferns, completed the table decorations. The centerpiece was designed by Editor Adams were of white crepe paper with a narrow pink border within which were fifteen narrow lines of pink, white and gold alternating. The napkins were folded, in the center of the narrow angle and upon each was printed in gold the design here with shown. The guests began to arrive early and were welcomed by the ladies' reception committee of fifteen ladies as follows: Mrs. R. C. Howard, Mrs. William Siegins, Mrs. F. D. Parker, Mrs. W. A. Hilyard, Mrs. W. T. Francis, Mrs. O. D. Howard, Mrs. William R. Morris, Mrs. Mumie, Plummer, Mrs. Jasper Gibbs, Mrs. S. J. Bellesen, Mrs. J. W. Milton, Mrs. J. H. Dillingham, Mrs. O. H. Allen, Mrs. J. H. Loomis, Mrs. W. R. Godette. The members of the committee were: pink satin badges, bearing the same design shown on the napkins, and pinned with large crystal headed pins. There was also a gentlemen's reception committee of fifteen as follows: Mr. R. White, Mr. C. M. Tibbs, Mr. Addison Davis, Mr. R. M. Minor, Mr. F. D. Parker, Mr. T. H. Lyles, Mr. J. B. Johnson, Mr. W.

The members of the gentlemen's committee were white satin badges with the design the same as the ladies but pinned with pink headed pins. Shortly after nine o'clock Mrs. R. B. Chapman, who had presided at the piano when the host and hostess were welded in wedlock fifteen years before, again played the wedding march while he was in the following order: John and Elvibella, next Margaret and Adina the children of the host and hostess. Then came the bride and groom—of fifteen years before—when the party reached the center of the parlor the children met the architect, who made of their parquet and Mr. Adams proceeded with the following ceremony; "Thee. Ella, with this ring I wed." So, fifteen years ago, I said. Behold another ring! For what? To wed the o'er again; to marry my youth; to marry my mother; to marry Grace, beauty, innocence and truth; Taste long admired, sense long revered, And all my Ells then appeared. If thou, by merit since disclosed, Proved, tyrked, the woman I supposed I plead that double merit, now, To justify a double vow; To justify a double vow;, Here, then, tonight, (with faith as sure With ardor as intense, as pure, As when, amidst the rites divine, I took thy troth and plighted mine;) To thee, sweet wife, a second ring, With this ring, I pledge to bring; With this ring I promise to part Thy rhyper virtues to my heart; Those virtues which before untried, The wife has added to the bride; Those virtues whose progressive claim Endering wodlock's very name, For conscience's sake, song approves, For conscience's sake, song approves, And why? They show me every hour Honor's high thought, affectiones power Discretion's deed, sound judgment's sentence, And teach me all things—but repen- ance. Mr. Adams then kissed his wife and turning to the cares, said: "Now, to you, dear friends who have come to assist us in celebrating the fifteenth anniversary of our wedding day, that memorable day, fifteen years ago, which, be it remembered, was also our anniversary of my birthday, upon which we have perfect gifts, gave to me the most precious and valued birthday present of my life, in the person of the hand-some specimen of His last and best gift to man, who now stands by my side for the four ocular evidences of our endeavor to obey the divine injunction: "Be fruitful and multiply," we welcome you to our home—you already have an abiding place in our hearts. If any of us are not lacking in friends, that our lives and our efforts to deserve the good will of our fellow men have not been in vain, your presence in such large numbers fully supplies it, and our hearts are filled with joy and delight. That all of us may live to celebrate together our "silver wedding" ten A CRYSTAL WEDDING years hence. Again we say, welcome, three welcome to our home. The ring which was used, is an anniversary gift from Mr. Adams to Mrs. Adams, and is what is known as a "regard" ring the initial letters of the stones it contains spelling "Regard." Mrs. Adams' gown was composed of the lace gown given which was in her wedding gown fifteen years before altered to the prevailing mode and to fit her more buxom figure of today. It is a handsome creme faille with lace waist and lace over the sleeves several other portions of her wedding costume. And it was the generally expressed opinion of many of the guests present, who were also at the wedding, that she appeared even more charming in appearance than when the beautiful summe first grafted flier slender figure. Mr. Adams wore the identical full dress suit in which he was married and it—if not he—looked as well as ever. The gown worn by the ladies present were dreams of the modiste's art, it seemed that each lady had vied with the others in endeavoring to look most charmine and sedum has such an beautiful women and miscellaneous costumes graced such an occasion.

Minor sang, "For all Eternity," and later Miss Hattie Loomis, "a magnificent voices of these ladies surpassed it is needless to say this feature was enjoyed.

Agents wanted everywhere. in the United States and Canada—Reach a Wide Circle of Readers. One hundred and eighty-five monthly and 179 weekly journals in the United States and Canada are devoted exclusively to the advocacy of trade unionism. These 364 publications, which number does not include socialist periodicals, reach a not inconsiderable portion of the laboring community and exercise an influence in it which is little suspected. There are in North America approximately 2,500,000 working people organized into trades unions, and each of them receives the official organ of the craft to which he or she belongs, and usually one or two other labor papers. But the prestige of these journals extends beyond the enrolled membership of established organizations. They number among their subscribers many sympathizers and non-union workmen; they are placed on the tables of reading rooms all over the country, and for every subscriber there are probably two readers. It is no exaggeration to say that they reach 5,000,000 readers, perhaps half as many more. STINGY FOLKS AT CHURCH. How a Preacher Rebuked Those Who Contributed the Pennies. Dr. Munhall recently closed a successful religious campaign in Emporia. A great many pennies had been put in the offering, and his attention was called to this. One night he held up a silver dollar and a copper penny and gave a conversation held by the two coins. "You poor little red cent, you; you don't amount to anything. I'd hate to be you," said the big dollar. "I know I'm not very big," replied the cent, "but the children like me and I can buy a good many things." "Huh! you can't buy anything at all," said the dollar. "Just look at me; big and bright and shiny. I can buy a whole lot more than you can." "May be so," said the little red cent meekly, "but I go to church a heap oftener than you do anyway." Laying a Ghost. On one occasion in Scotland a guest arriving late at a country house was quartered in the haunted room. Although professing to be a sceptic, like many others, his courage vanished with the light. Determined, however, to protect himself as well as possible, he placed a loaded revolver under his pillow and awaited events. As the clock struck midnight he saw a fleshy hand at the end of the bed, and, steadying his nerve, he addressed the visitant thus: "If you do not instantly remove your hand I shall fire without further warning." He counted three and then discharged the bullet. A howl of pain which aroused the household followed, and it was soon discovered that the successful marksman had shot away two of his own tees. Women Wear Rubber Boots. While it has always served its purpose as waterproof footwear, the wearing of the rubber boot has been confined largely to the masculine sex. A number of the young women of Muskogee, however, have discovered that Muskogee mud is real mud and that the shoe will not stand the continual quantity of earth and water which coats the streets of the city during the winter or rainy season. Many of them appear on the street wearing neat little rubber boots. The dress of the girl may be of the latest cut, and the hat of the latest style, but peeping from beneath the skirt is the rubber boot, plain and sensible. Where Man Is Gallant. In many foreign cities there is a marked absence of the gallantry that in this country habitually characterizes the attitude of men toward women. Eleanor Gates, a young American writer, who has traveled widely in the United States, says that deference toward her sex decreases with the increasing density of population. In sparsely settled regions of the West woman stands upon a plane tactily superior. New York is the most ungallant city in the United States. A new phase of the art of modelling is practiced by Mlle Susan Meyer in Paris. The material employed by her is crumbs of bread colored with various liquids. She has discovered a process of making the mass elastic and almost unbreakable. A proof of her success is the purchase by the state of one of her works representing an apple tree in full bloom. It is on exhibition at the Luxembourg gallery. New Window Plant. A novel and attractive window plant may be developed from the common tomato. Planted in a pot, with a frame arranged to support the climbin vine, it causes much curiosity as a foliage plant, and when the small fruit it bears ripeus in midwinter it is quite pretty and is seldom recognized for what it really is. An Impossible Conversation. Eccentric-appearing Person—I have here, sir, $100,000 saved from earnings, which I wish you would invest for me in some good-paying stock. Banker—Yes, sir. And your name, sir, is—er—? Eccentric-appearing Person—I am Tennyson W. Wrightfellow, the poet.—Puck. His Definitions.

In New York it takes two hours to send a special delivery letter from Harlem to Twenty-third street, in Berlin, through the rooftop, a letter can be sent a similar distance in two minutes, says Hardee Rolce in Appleton's. It would be advantageous to all people if the statesmen of the world, foregoing for a season their provincial boasting, would convene in international session and exchange ideas regarding the world's progress. I was impressed with this fact when I had occasion in Budapest to send a registered letter. Instead of having to wait for a clerk to copy the superscription and hand me a receipt I had simply to show the letter properly stamped and then drop it in a mechanical contrivance, which immediately issued a receipt card automatically dated and numbered. It makes the system of registering a letter in Hungary as simple as dropping a piece of mail in a letter box is in America. I desired to test this innovation and so I mailed a letter in Budapest addressed to myself in a hotel at Munich. Two hours later I took the train for the Bavarian capital and the day after I arrived in the hote. I received word that there was a regitered letter for me at the postoffice. The German system of postal money orders is far superior. It seems to me, to the American. You hand the money into a German postoffice, give the address of the person to whom it is to be sent and walk away with the receipt. That ends your responsibility. The government carries the money to the house and even to the room of the addressee. Much Used Wedding Present. A Providence girl, who has been married about six months, had wedding cards a short time ago from an old school friend who had given her a wedding present, which, of course, demanded one in return. Among her wedding presents the Providence girl had duplicates in the shape of two silver card trays, and in a spirit of economy she decided to give one of these to her friend. It was marked with her own initials, but it would be only a matter of a few minutes to have them removed and the proper monogram cut. She took it to the jeweler and explained what was to be done. He picked up the tray, looked at it closely and smiled. "Madame," said he. "it will be impossible. I have already changed the initials on this same tray five times, and it has worn so thin that I cannot do it again without cutting through the bottom." Sheep Industry in Australia. The greatest industry of Australia is sheep raising, mainly for the sake of the wool but also in part, of course, for the meat. Australia now ranks second among the great sheep raising countries. Argentina being first with 92,000,000 sheep, Australia second with 72,000,000 and Russia third with 70,000,000. Only a few years ago Australia was first, possessing no less than 106,260,000 head of sheep. That was in 1891. Prolonged drouths were the cause of the destruction of many millions of Australian sheep, but since 1902 there has been an annual gain. Yet these sheep were not indigenous to Australia. They were introduced in 1797, being of the Spanish marmo species. One Advantage of a Long Night. "The Land of the Midnight Sun" was a subject assigned to Judge Berry at a feast shortly before his last sickness. "The Land of the Midnight Sun!" he exclaimed. "Ah, gentlemen, I find that a most inspiring subject. In the land of the midnight sun, I've read, the days are six months long, and so are the nights. Just think what a blessing that would be to some of us. Why, if one of my creditors came to me and said: 'Berry, I want you to pay up that $10 you owe me,' it wouldn't bother me in the least. 'My dear fellow,' I would reply, 'come around day after tomorrow and I'll pay you,' and then I wouldn't hear any more of him for twelve months." Ancient Instance. Moses was numbering the children of Israel. "What are you doing that for?" somebody asked him. "They wouldn't stand for a referendum," explained Moses, "and I had to turn it into a census." Not even his worst enemies, however accused Moses of doing it for political purposes. The Deacon's Indiscretion. The deacon called in at the smithy for the chain which the blacksmith had been welding together. Seeing the chain on the floor, the deacon lifted it, and finding it red-hot, dropped it with an explosive "H—!!" then, recovering himself, hastily said, "I like to have said." An Example. "The whale that absorbed Jonah was really a model for men who are looking for a position under circumstances trying to their pride." "How do you make that out?" "He swallowed everything that was coming to him, but finally landed his job." Good Ground for the Opinion. "On what ground," the alienist was asked, "do you declare the prisoner insane?" "On the simple ground of humanity," replied the alienist, "for if he isn't crazy he's up against it."
