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. 8- Its correspondents are able and energetic. JAPAN EXCITED OVER FIRST BEAUTY CONTEST KAWMI KODZE, A FINE TYPE OF FEMININE JAPANESE LOVELINESS VOL. 23. NO. 22. The beauty contest, now the rage in America and England, has reached Japan. This hitherto distinctively Occidental comparison of woman's charms, conducted by publication of photographs, which has always been popular in the United States, thus completes an international triumph. England had a contest in which the noblest ladies of the realm were voted on. Lady Pole-Carew, eventually won. France, Italy, and Germany have also known this form of contest, but the leap which took it all the way to the mikado's land is a startling proof of how Japan is getting into touch with the ways of the West. Not so many years ago, say a decade, such a test would have been out of question in the Far East. The photographer's art had hardly reached the point in Japan where in every town there would be camera experts to take pictures of the local beauties; no publication existed which would have had the enterprise to attempt such a contest, and a peculiarly Oriental reserve in the matter of displaying a woman's features promiscuously would have foredoomed the experiment to defeat. As an example of changed conditions the beauty contest now being conducted by a Tokio weekly paper is astonishing. Photographs are being sent to the publication from all parts of Nippon. The fine oval faces, the small hands and feet, the delicious, soft skin of the Japanese women are being posed before hundreds of cameras, and the interest is keen all over the country. The contest is not yet decided. It has several months to run, for the wise editor was not foolish enough to put a short time limit on the most successful venture he has ever attempted. In only one particular does this contest differ from those held in the West. Entries are confined entirely to the lower classes. The milkado nobility, the amos, the hattamotos or lower daimons, are not, no, not allowed. The noble head of one of these conservative families would consider his honor seriously aggrieved should any of his women folk permit their features to be shown aside those of women of the lower classes. The middle class of farmers, artisans and merchants have been less reserved, and have not hesitated to let wives and daughters, blessed with more than a normal share of pulchritude, be numbered among the contestants. But the greater number of entries come from among the frankly lower classes, the Gelsha girls of the tea houses. The child-like joy of the Japanese girl at being beautiful and at being hot enough on her charms by the proper kind of skirt fan in her hair, and nowers appratiate to her complexion has been intensified by the prospect of winning a valuable prize. Never was such decorating and dressing as progresses now. From tea houses all over the realm of the mikado photographs are pouring into Tokio, and though the type may be different, the collection presents beauties who would be recognized as such even in the far off United States. The names signed to the pictures are almost as interesting and picturesque as the contestants themselves. Japs love pretty names, titles that bring them to life, Blossom, Jasminne, Fairy, Smile, Rose Dawn, Hollyhock, Wistaria Scent, Smiling Sun are the kind of names that occur again and again, and make the American recall the habit of the Indian of his own country to suit his appellation to some feature of nature. From all the realm these pictures come. It is significant of a Japanese sense of the fitness of things that the contest was inaugurated at the outset of spring time when moderating weather made it possible for the fair contestants to be pictured in the open air, in the trees and flowers that they adore. Cherry blossoms have formed a background for many photographs that look like paintings, so artistic is the The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text. It appears to be a grayscale photograph of a wall with a grid pattern. The text is not clearly visible due to the low resolution and blurry quality of the image. THE MUSICIAN OYONTO OYENA, A BEAUTY OF NAGASAKI composition. Others are shown standing under wistaria arbors with the glorious purple blooms surrounding them in halos. Some of the dark-eyed beauties are pictured in pose for a dance, the tiny hand high above the lower, bedecked head, the leg outstretched and kimono just enough to show the contour of a midget foot and slender ankle. The languid life of the average Japanese woman is shown again in the number of pictures that have taken with the subjects in reclining attitudes, usually on a couch, which oftimes is covered with silks and flowers. The Paris who has to judge between the hundreds of photographs submitted in the competition will indeed be severely taxed, for the result is a bewildering display. The task of selection has been made more difficult by the characteristic of the surroundings in which the contestants have chosen to be photographed. In American beauty contests there is no such difficulty. The picture usually shows a lady in evening dress. It is a cabinet sized photograph, general. the following are put known: Oyonto Oyena of Nakusa beautiful girl had the fusing of the hand of a British naval officer, staying for a time at who became captive to the fair Oyota.

Iy comprising the head only, and all the expert need do is to study the features for regularity, size up the ex pressiveness of the eyes, make a guess as to the clearness of the skin, determine the skiliness of shoulders and neck, and a decision is made. But the Japanese woman has small admiration for a bust picture only. She counts her head and shoulders only a minor part of her beauty. Even to be photographed in a full length pose is not enough. She must take some especially graceful position, and she picks out the surrounding with such care that it would indeed be an ungracious referee who would fail to take this feature into account when deciding the contest.

If chorus girls were properly grateful they would subscribe and build a monument to the memory of the recently deceased James Davis, better known by his pen name of Owen Hall. It is not because he has the books of "A Galety Girl," "The Geisha" and "The Silver Slipper" to his credit that Mr. Hall has a claim on the gratitude of the show girl. These productions stamp him as the best librettist since married or did not take advantage of her opportunities, ery one was sought and court host of eligible suitors. Only lately one of them made marriage, when Marie L. Gambia in the list is given by her stage Marle Wilson, married Freddie hard of Baltimore, famous in epoch for his friendship with Langtry, the English actress. THE the following are perhaps the best known: Oyonto Oyena of Nagasaki. This beautiful girl had the distinction of refusing the hand of a distinguished British naval officer, whose ship was staying for a time at Nagasaki, and who became captive to the charms of the fair Oyonto. It is said that half a dozen duels have been fought over her. Fugu Mume is an actress, one of the first to win recognition in the land of the mikado, since the changed conditions have given women more honorable part in dramatic art in the land of Nippon. Wing Tee Wie is only an Eta girl, or rather the descendant of an Eta. This parish classification is by no means so rigidly adhered to as it was at one time, and former outcasts of so-called women now accorded a chance to earn an honorable place in the community. Wawmi Kodze is favored because of her superb figure and luxuriant hair. **TIGER HUNT IN KOREA.** "The tiger," said George Robertson of Scotland, who has had many exciting experiences in hunting tigers in Far Eastern countries, "is usually looked upon as a powerful beast, but as a matter of fact it is found much throughout the continent of Asia. He is an animal of great power, resources and intelligence and exerts a large influence on the lives of the people." In Kores, where I have hunted, there are no forests on the seaboard, but the inland ridges are heavily timbered, and here the tigers are found. The beasts are numerous and are pursued on foot. After two or three vain chases I was told by the natives that no tigers could be found unless a sacrifice were offered, and accordingly I would be forced for the necessary rice and wine. The chastity cordingly made, and the next day I shot a very handsome specimen. In every village there is an official hornblower, whose duty it is to sound his horn whenever a tiger gets into a village at night. The natives are sorely afraid of them, and many a human life is annually destroyed by the savage beasts. "In the province of Amoy I ran across the cave tigers. The land is bare of woods or brush, and the tigers live in long tunnels in the rocks. The chastity hunt them with torches, carrying three armed men to the boys who go on these dangerous expeditions proceed with as much coolness as the average youth in this country does in a rabbit hunt. A tiger, however, will not charge a light, but woe to the hunter whose light goes out. "In Java there are more tigers than anywhere I have hunted. In some places the brutes were so numerous that the inhabitants slept in houses built on piles, so as to be protected from their assaults. The Javanese hold them in such a way that many of the inhabitants even from using the name of the beast"—Washington Herald. --- EVOLUTION OF NEW TYPE OF SHOW GIRL Chorus Girls Owe a Monument to James Davis, the Creator of Florodora. If chorus girls were properly grateful they would subscribe and build a monument to the memory of the recently deceased James Davis, better known by his pen name of Owen Hall. It is not because he has the books of "A Galsley Girl" "The Gelsha" and "The Silvery Glippe" to his creature that Mr. Hall has a claim on the grittitude of the show girl. These productions stamp him as the best librettist since Gilbert, but my lady of the foot lights cares nothing about that. The thing that gives Mr. Hall his claim on her is the fact that he wrote "Florodora" and evolved a new style of chorus girl. Prior to "Florodora" the chorus girl wore the same kind of fleshings that had been in vogue since the days when "The Black Crook" first shocked the country. No one ever had the originality to suggest a change. It had gone out of the fashion to fall captive to this creature of pads and paint. But suddenly a metamorphosis was effected. The show girl was lifted to a pedestal such as she had never occupied before. Diamonds, automobiles, flowers, Wall street winnings and millionaire husbands were preffered to her. The "Florodora" fever had done its work and the new chorus girl was launched on her glittering career. married or did not take proper advantage of her opportunities, for every one was sought and courted by a host of eligible suitors. Only lately one of them made a good marriage, when Marie L. Gamble, when the list is given by her stage name Marie Wilson, married Freddy Grabard of Baltimore, famous in another epoch for his friendship with Mr. Langtry, the English address. But Miss Wilson was wealthy before she married Gebhard. In fact she left the sextet before the original run ended, and was the first to go. Kind Wall street friend gave her tip on the market during a boom time when profits were coming easily, and so gamely did she plunge that she realized a sum said to be $200,000. Agnes Wayburn, who was known in the cast as "agnes Sayre, came in prominence lately by her suit for a vince from Ned Wayburn. Vaugh Texsmith was an English that 'Mf. Hail did was simple for him to be the one to think of it. First he decided that beauty unadorned was not necessarily beauty most adorned, so he began by giving the chorus girl some clothes. In place of the tights of tradition she was equipped with a superb Paris gown and hat that the wealthiest woman in the world need not have been ashamed to wear. Then he picked out six tall, willy girls of a similar type, the very opposite of the old-time elephantine favorites. To these he gave a hat in the annales of melodious air. Not in the annales, but such an enthusiasm been recorded for any one number in an opera. It is a frequent mistake to say that Nan Patterson and Evelyn Nesbit-Thaw were members of that famous "original" sextet, but they were not. Nan Patterson did sing in the sextet, but only in No. 3 company. She had no part whatever in the first production. Evelyn Nesbit-Thaw was in the opening New York production of the opera, but she never attained to the dignity of being in the sextet that nature possessed of the work. Nature had never adorned her for the role. She lacked the height and distinction. The best she got was the small role of a flower maiden, who danced in the background and scattered flowers. Since the fame of "Florodora" went round the country it has become a fashion to class every girl who figures in a sensational incident as one of the original six. Let a woman shoot or be shot, let her make a rich marriage, be married to a powerful and "Florodora" instantly got the credit for other sensation. Had there been six thousand instead of six girls in the first crop they would not have taken part in all the incidents credited to them. Just to keep the records straight it must be set down the names of the six young girls who first dazzled the country in the girls gown and big bats of the number If any one of this six ever has to do any further pictureings before light is gone, it was already T THE MUSICAL "THE MUSICAL" Defective Page they were: Marie Wilton.

Vaugh Texsmith was an English NAN PATTERSON, WHO GAIN THE WORLD'S FIRST WOMAN show girl, who is still seen occasionally in big productions. The others temporarily have dropped out of sight. So it happens that the original six who took part in the monumental success emerged from the excitement free of scandal. All that happened to give the Florodora gem its undesirable notability it owes to those who went on the road in the half dozen companies that were organized and sent out while the crazes was on. But it is not alone in connection with "Florodora" itself that the influence of Mr. Hall must be calculated. He really made a new type of chorus girl, which is being reflected in every current selection. To a form of entertainment that regular theatergoers had come to regard with a jaded palate. Mr. Hall gave the new savor that put it back again in the forefront of popularity. not conservative, and no class loosely with more suspicion on anything proaching the "new-fangled." A story is told of a typical old farrier who has stood and bargained in streets of the market town every urday for years, as his fathers done before him. "We shall be making things more comfortable for the farmer shortly, Hayseed," said a townman "In what way," he asked. "The new corn exchange, yknow is nearing completion, and when is open you won't have to stand all the streets in all weathers. You pop in and do your business comfortably." Oh, aye; but Aw sha'n't."

HO GAINED RENO THE MUSIC IS ON Also he made the stage such a matrimonial bureau as it had never before been. The tall, super girl in the Paris gown and the huge hat, carrying herself like a queen and actually knowing how to sing, was a divinity not to be resisted. Every the opera went she took her all-conquering sway. The idea has been stowed and multiplied in all forms of entertainment, even down to vaudville. It is an unfortunate habit of Americans to sneer at the quality of British humor, but the careers of Messrs. Gilbert and Hall force something of a halt on this attitude. American playwrights would be hard put to show such a gallery of humorous portraits as Gilbert created, or such a sustained power of lively dialogue as Mr. Hall exhibited. Even without the music or the sexet at all "Florodore" would have been a delightful entertainment, with its abundance of cleverness and comedy. But long after Mr. Hall and his dialogue is forgotten the "Florodore" sexet will be remembered, and long after each of the estimable six ladies has reached the age of tottering senility, reporters will be recording incidents happening to members of the endless original sexet. No Exchange for Him. The British farmer is nothing if ED RENOWN IN "FLORODORA." not conservative, and no class looks with more suspicion on anything approaching the "new-fangled."

"We shall be making things more comfortable for the farmer, shortly. Mr. Hayseed," said a townsman "In what way," he asked. "The new corn exchange, y'know.

THE CITY OF MAGNIFICENT DISTANCES. A Collection of Events Occurring Among the People of the Capital of This Great Nation and Condense for the Perusal of our Readers. Special correspondence THE APPEAL. Washington, May 30—The Baptists of Washington are arranging to attend an International Convention, representing two and a half Afro-American Baptists, which meets in this city in September. The educational board of the national Baptist convention held a meeting at the Second Baptist church, 32nd Street, New York, to elect an educational secretary, promote the plan for the establishment of a national Baptist theological seminar, provided for by the last session of the national Baptist convention, which is Memphis, Tennessee, last September, and which is one of the important educational matters. Rev. D. S. Klug, D. D. of, Princeton, N. J., was chosen educational secretary to succeed Dr. D. Abner of Gaudalue, Texas. Among those present were: H. S. and M. M. McCormick of the National Baptist publishing house of Nville, Tenn.; Dr. W. E. Homes of Macon, Ga.; Dr. W. M. Winfrey of Conversville, Ind.; Dr. J. Franklin Walker of Cincinnati, Ohio; Dr. J. C. Jackson of Lynchburg, Va.; Rev. James Reid, state convention, and Dr. M. W. Gilbert of Yorik city, chairman of the educational board. Booker T. Washington, president of Tuskegee Institute, was elected a trustee of Howard University at the meeting of the board of trustees yesterday afternoon in the office of the president of the university. Justice Job Barnard of the District Supreme Court, was elected president of the board of trustees, to take the place of the late Dr. Teunis S. Hamlin, pastor of the Church of the Covenant. In addition to Dr. Washington, three other new members were elected to the board of trustees. They were Prof. Warring, of the Baltimore High School; Dr. J. E. Mooreland, international secretary of the Y. M. C. A. and A. M. C. A. of the Williams & Co., proprietors of the Baldwin Locomotive Works, Philadelphia. Supt. Chancellor will submit to the board of education at its meeting to the Montgomery, assistant superintendent of colored schools, and will recommend Roscoe Conkling Bruce, A. B., supervising principal of the tenth division, for the vacancy caused by the retirement of Dr. Montgomery. Bruce will recommend that Dr. Montgomery be appointed supervising principal of the tenth division, and will also submit the name of W. V. Tunnel, professor of history in Howard University, for supervising the position of the thirteenth division. The position formerly held by Francis L. Cardozo. Considerable surprise among those directly affected will result from a sweeping change suggested by the superintendent—the removal of Dr. Lucy W. Merritt, the assistant school teacher No. 2, and the appointment as her successor of Miss M. E. Gibbs, now principal of Stevens School. Miss Motter will be offered the assistant directorship of primary instruction in colored schools. Miss Merritt, the present holder of this position, will go to Stevens school. Hon. Ralph W. Tyler, the newly appointed Auditor for the Navy Department, is in the city and will assume the duties of his office June 1. It is rumored that Winfield Scott Montgomery, assistant superintendent of the Afro-American schools, will resign before the end of the scholastic year, and that either W. E. B. Du Bois of Atlanta, or Roscoe Conkling Brice, of this city, will be appointed to succeed him, from the beginning of the present term, when Montgomery was first appointed acting assistant superintendent, and it was decided that he could not draw the salary of the position as acting assistant superintendent, his resignation has been frequently rumored and as frequently denied. Dr. A. M. Curtis delivered the annual address to the graduating class of trained nurses at the Richmond hospital, Richmond, Va., Monday, May 27, and presented the medals of merit won by the students. Justice Robert H. Terrell will deliver the commencement at Avery College, Pittsburgh, Pa., June 28. Hon. William T.

There are people and plenty of them everywhere in the world who care almost nothing about the enslaving of other people, provided that those people do not belong to their own race. Particularly in the United States a very large number of white people can see nothing specially wrong in African slavery. Such people need to learn that the man who is a slaveholder in principle cares very little about the color of the slave—his greed and avarice have extinguished even his racial partialities. The truth of this view of the case is shown from the following excerpts from the news of the day: The Attorney General received yesterday the report of the successful outcome of the charge case against Boyden, superintendent of Principle School, Phosphate Company, of Mulberry. Fla. A verdict of guilty was reached in all five cases, and persons in regard to whom the acts were committed were white foreign laborers. Within a few miles of Richmond a woman, who soon into peacenight years ago, age, who was a girl, has just been rescued from her involuntary servitude. Illiterate, densely ignorant, and persuaded that the selfish woman she had sold her into slavery was acting within his legal rights, the girl slaved for years on ameer, her employment at times being the same as that of her husband. She plowed, hoed, groomed horses and mules, looked after several cows, a M. B. HON. GEORGE B. CORTELYOU Efficient Secretary of the Treasury, Mentioned for President.

JIMCROWING THE CHURCH. Black bishops or no black bishops This white woman spent ten years of her life as a slave in the "grand old commonwealth of Virginia." the mother of Presidents, as the price of an old horse valued at less than $50. We presume that she will not be on exhibition at Jamestown. DU BOIS AND TILLMAN Two prominent representatives of the South have, at the North, achieved special prominence as lecturers: Professor Du Bois of Georgia and Senator Tillman of South Carolina. They are representatives, respectively, of the Afro-American and the Anglo-Saxon races. Physically, they differ but little in complexion and other characteristics; but that little difference constitutes, in this alleged land of the free, a chasm as impassable as that which separated Dives from Lazarus. Both have achieved national reputations, and are unquestionably men of decided ability, but THE APPEAL has no hesitation in asserting that in scholarship, in high breeding and in lofty ideals, the Afro-American is immeasurably the superior of the Caucasian; and relies upon the publisher-productions of the two to substantiate the assertion. The senator is an uncouth, blustering rabble-rouser, restrained by no rule of decency or dignity: the professor is a refined, courteous gentleman who never forgets the 'rules of propriety or degenerates into vulgarity. Which of the two reflects the greater honor upon the South, we leave our readers to determine. "In the state of Texas there is a man named Brown, who is a member of the legislature. Said Brown moved to strike out the entire appropriation for the support of the Prairie View Normal College for Afro-Americans. "The educated Negro has only three ambitions," said Mr. Brown, "to teach, promote, or to get into the penitentiary for forgery." He added that he would like to see the torch applied to the walls of the Prairie where he was opened to placing tools in the hands of Negroes that might cause a clash that would end only in the shedding of the blood of thousands. Mr Brown failed to explain the difference between the "educated Negro" and the average Southern legislator, which is this, that while the former divides his time among the three pursuits of teaching, preaching and forging, the latter devotes his entire time to the last named or kindred occupations, such as booding, grafting and blackmailing. In one Southern state, Senator Butt is on the rock pile, Senator Adams has been expelled, Senator Covington is on trial for swiping, and several other legislators are between h-1 and the powder house. So, that if the "educated Negro" should go to the pen, when he looks around, he will be apt to think that he is in the legislature. DR. CHARLES E. BENTLEY. JIMCROWING THE CHURCH. Black bishops or no black bishops was the question which threw the convention of the Protestant Episcopal Dicseese of Pennsylvania into hysterics at a recent meeting. A committee reported in favor of sending special missionary bishops to the South to labor among the Afro-American population. Rev. Dr. Grammar said it was a great effort to win a race, to bridge over the widening gulf of animosity between whites and blacks in the South. Bro. Pepper said he believed that the introduction of Afro-American bishops would split the church. The following resolution was unanimously adopted: "That the diocese of Pennsylvania memorialize the General Convention so to amend the constitution and canons that missionary bishops may be consecrated to have jurisdiction over specified races, and lay before it amendments that would give the largest province of advancing the interests of our church among the colored people." The net results of this process of Jincrowing the Afro-American membership of the Protestant Episcopal Church will probably cause them to secede and set up for themselves, whereby they will gain the privilege of electing bishops to suit themselves. In so doing, they have the excellent example of the African Methodist Episcopal Church to inspire and direct them. If they 'elect their own bishops, those bishops will probably be MEN; those selected by the white brethren would almost certainly be FLUNK-IPS "THE COLORED MAN'S PLACE." The Duluth Tribune has an article upon industrial schools, possibly intended to be very reasonable and conciliatory, which concludes thus: "The place of the colored man is on the farm and in the abode of the factory and of the colored woman is in the home as maid, cook and nurse. The country needs them; it has places for all of the present object of these schools is to qualify them for such positions." Now there is a little too much of the old, ante-bellum, cursed-Canaan preach about that sentiment, to suit THE APPEAL, and it would very much like to know from what source the Tribune obtained such definite information as to the Afro-American's place. It has been demonstrated by actual experiment that the "colored man" fits in many other places besides the shop, the farm and the factory, remarkably well. Dunbar filled a poet's place in the United States, Tanner fitted an artist's place in France, and Dumas, Poushkin, Alexander Hamilton, Browning, Lew Wallace and Toussaint L'ouverture deported themselves extremely well in various other capacities. The Almighty himself disqualified these men for service on the farm or in the shop and factory by endowing them with talents of the highest order, which he intended them to use for the uplifting of mankind, and it is too late in the day for the Tribune to print such rubbish about the "colored man's place" "OUR POSTERITY. Senator Morgan in his Jefferson's birthday speech said this: "The Indians who were here and the Negroes who were imported as slaves, to our or concern in the sovereignty of 'the people of the United States' thus created and defined. They were not our ourselves, our posterity." All of which is interesting; but everybody knows that there is scarcely a word of truth in it. The "Negroes of Jefferson's day" were not all "imported," and thousands of them were the posterity of Jefferson, himself, and his miscegenating associates. Senator Morgan should let the phrase "our posterity" alone, or he will provoke somebody to tell him the truth. CAUCASIAN DEPRAVITY. Caucasian-Americans, especially those who hail from the sunny south have, ever since emancipation, been appalled by the deprivation of the Afro-American, and have endeavored by such commendable means as lynching and cowhiding to bring him within the pale of civilization. The fact, however, by no means implies that the white brother himself is absolutely faultless and his own journals furnish abundant proof that here we have another instance of the pot calling the kettle black. As an interesting study in ethics, we quote a few samples from the journals of the day: RICHMOND. "a—God told me to kill three male people and I all did."

RALEIGH, N. C—Samuel Hellin, a white man of this city connected with Company, was greeted and jailed today on the charge of race union two white girls named Cassie Rhodes, aged fourteen and twenty years. The girls were asleep at the home of a friend, Mrs. Cassie Ellington, who enlisted her as a captain of Hellin's assailant upon them. WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W. V., The terrible and unexpected end of an enlistment came last night, near Marlinville, where the couple was cloaking couple, and after tying the man to a tree, repeatedly assaulted the respective bride. Their victim, a Miss Bird, was killed. The captain of Marlinville is in a critical condition today. NEW YORK—I killed the poor little girl. I don't know why I did it." Cowardly, still told Henry Becker, the farm hard time and again spoke these words as he reiterated his confession of the terrible field, in the dandelion fields near her home at Elmhurst, L. I. Now the foregoing instances do not prove the Afro-American guiltless of many crimes charged against him, but they do prove that he is not a sinner above all men. The Chicago "Moon dance" is in substance the Voodoo dance of Hayti and New Orleans, or "the altogether" of the Pittsburgh millionaires, or the "shawl dance" of Salome. The free love cult of the divinity student and Miss Crosby could scarcely have been paralleled on a Southern plantation in the darkest days of slavery. The quotations show that the white woman both North and South is in far more danger from the brutes of her own race than from the wretches of the Afro-American race. In producing brutes the Caucasian race surpasses the Afro-American ten to one. THE FOURTEENTH AMENDMENT Considering the special circumstances under which the Fourteenth Amendment was adopted, it is not at all strange that the popular impression is that it is something which relates to Afro-Americans alone, and which has no important bearing upon any important interest of white men, but the following from the Chicago Chronicle will show how erroneous is such a conclusion: "Ten railroad companies in Alabama have invoked the protection of the United States courts against the operation of certain laws enacted by the state in the nature of that state. As a first result Judge Thomas G. Jones of the United States Court of Appeals for the Southern Alabama has granted a preliminary injunction restraining the state from putting down the laws of which the companies complain make the rates existing on the 1st of March of the present year the maximum rates set by the state in the roads and provide for the abrogation of the license of any company removing a share of a state court to a United States court." In the first place it will readily be seen that nothing is so pleasant to the Southern lawmaker as to discover some way of nullifying some law of the United States. Even his persecution of the Afro-American within his borders is intended primarily and specifically, to spite the North. His anxiety to repeal the Fifteenth Amendment arises from his desire to demonstrate to the world that the Southern is the nobleman of the country, with the divine right to rule. The importance of the Fourteenth Amendment is shown by the fact that upon its validity and interpretation ten important railroads rely as the persecution against the persecutions of a mob-elected legislature of half-baker nincompoops and half-witted swash bucklers. The sovereign state of Alabama is up against the Fourteenth Amendment which may convince ever a Florida senator that lex scripta man et. IN HEATHEN VIRGINIA. Joseph Britton is in jail at Lynchburg, Virginia, because he followed God's law and legally wedded the woman of his choice. Britton is a Caucasian and his wife is an Afro-American. The couple were married in Pennsylvania but went to Virginia to live, not knowing that the infamous laws of the "grand old commonwealth" do not permit Caucasians and Afro-Americans to live in Holy Wedlock. If the woman had been immoral and lived with Britton in concubinage, the "grand old commonwealth" would have approved. Thousands of people of both races are living that way in Virginia but the officers of the law are blind to the facts. It is only when the relations are honorable that the law forbids. The miscegenation law is in contravention to the Constitution of the United States but that ancient instrument is a dead letter in the "grand old commonwealth of Virginia." STAY AWAY FROM SEATTLE. Out in Seattle where the color line has never been drawn before, the Christian Endeavor entertainment committee, composed of alleged Christians has voted to draw the color line and the hotels have refused to reserve accommodations for Afro-American delegates. Very properly the Afro-American residents of Seattle have met in mass meeting and passed resolutions asking Afro-American bishops and delegates to the C. E. convention to be held in that city in July to stay away from the convention and the city. THE APPEAL endorses the position of the Seattle Afro-Americans and suggests that the bishops and delegates not only give Seattle a wide berth, but that they have nothing further to do with the band of hypocrites who call themselves Christian Endeavorers. "DEMENTIA MISSIPIANA." Some fellow, in the Saturday Evening Post—founded by the old abolitionist, Benjamin Franklin—has given a "dementia Missipiana" dissertation upon what he calls "The Vardaman Idea;" in which he endeavors to show that Abraham Lincoln and Vardaman are par nobile fratum, Arcadee ambo and chips of the same block generally. The fellow talks glibly about ancient history as if he knew all about it, and seems to have swallowed every non-sensical myth that was ever published or promulgated in any way. His argument is substantially this—that the genuine Negro has always been regarded as an inferior race and that the Afro-Americans, descended, in part, from him, have inherited certain racial characteristics which will forever and forever render them unworthy of actual citizenship in the United States. Incidentally he mentions some of the meritorious acts of his hero, the mongrel, half-Indian Vardaman, such as protecting some members of the race from being lynched. The learned dissertation about the sutures is a particularly atrocious piece of nonsense, and not sustained by a single medical authority of any note. Now it does not amount to anything, how savage and barbarous the progenitors of the Afro-Americans were, the important point is what they amount to themselves. Thousands of them are vastly the superiors of the mollycoddle who pumped all that slush into the journal founded by Benjamin Franklin, the old abolitionist. M. HON. ALBERT J. HOPKINS HON. ALBERT J. HOPKINS Illinois Virile Junior Senator and Friend of the Afro-American People. LYNCHING A VIOLATION OF THE and existing political conditions. The CONSTITUTION, fact that two articles of the Constit Judge Thomas G. Jones, of the Alabama Federal bench, has just rendered a decision concerning lynching that will, if affirmed by the Supreme Court of the United States, go far toward solving one of the most vexing problems this country has ever had to face. Judge Jones holds that a person who forcibly takes from the custody of any official, State or otherwise, a prisoner accused of crime, and, after such taking, lynches, helps to lynch, or attempts to lynch the said prisoner, is guilty of violence to the provisions of the Constitution of the United States, and that it is the duty of the officers of the United States to take cognizance of the same and assume jurisdiction to punish the offender. Judge Jones bases his decision, of course, upon the thirteenth and fourteenth amendments to the Constitution. We copy the above from the Washington Herald, which also states that an appeal from the decision will at once be taken to the Supreme Court. We hope that the latter assertion is true and that the case will very shortly reach the Supreme Court. It is a well-known fact that the trials of lynchers by their friends and neighbors is nothing less than a pitiful farce—that, in fact the grand jury and the mob are the very same persons. For this reason, not a single state in the country is able to cope with the hoodlums, thugs and hoboes who make up the mob. But we believe that it is not necessary to base the decision entirely upon the amendment mentioned. The Constitution obligates the general government to guarantee to every state a republican form of government, and, if a state cannot put down mob-rule, the government should do so. WOMEN AT JOHNS HOPKINS There has been a great rumpus in Johns Hopkins University, and graduates are protesting against the recent action of the trustees in admitting women to the graduate courses of study. One of those graduates thus expresses himself: "Any woman who forces herself in an institution where she is not wanted by the students or alumni is unworthy of her sex, and the infux of this class will deny this very kind of man we want at the university. I am disgusted with the whole affair, and I voice the opinion of the students and the alumni." Just exactly how this graduate convinces himself the women regularly admitted to the institution by action of the legitimate authority are "forcing themselves in" is a little hard to see, and his insulting reference to the "infux of this class" is very bad manners for a graduate of any kind of an institution. Moreover, the graduate's argument against white women has been worn threadbare by its repeated application to black men. This is the first instance we have noticed recently of an attempt to Jimcrow white women. SOUTHERN SITUATION The political situation in the south is a reproach to both parties, and a menace to the state. It is in flat and flagrant violation of the constitution. Two amendments to that constitution have been passed; platforms invariably contain denunciation of theocratic party, and in that action the republican party acquiesces. To be sure, the parties have a promise to apply theocratic action and a promise to apply the promise is never denied to the civil war. With houses of Congress and the presidency in the power since 1873, republicans have had the constitutional representation in both the House and the electoral college, but have not been given the duty and their campaign obligations. The foregoing from the Washington Star is an admirable statement of past GRANVILLE, T. WOODS Famous Afro-American Electrician W. Rio Has 27 Inventions to His Credit and existing political conditions. The fact that two articles of the Constitution which are generally, though erroneously, considered as appertaining solely to the welfare of the Afro-American, are openly and flagrantly violated throughout the entire South, is just as important as though any other part of that instrument was set aside and held for naught, insomuch as it furnishes a precedent and pretext for nullifying any other provision of which any state may disapprove. The failure to enforce those amendments has resulted in reducing the Republican party in the South to a thing of shreds and patches. scrambling over Federal offices and growing small by degrees and beautifully less as the days are passing by. The success of the South in setting aside such portions of the Supreme law of the land, is what has emboldened her to enact jimcrow laws, segregation bills and other devices specially designed to expel the Republican party from her borders. It has turned that section over to the control of such blatherskites as Tillman, Vardaman and Hoax Smith. And now comes Mr. Somebody of Holland who discovered that Americans love stuffy cars and hot rooms and explains it thus: "it has occurred to me that this local in carry building is due to the Negroes. They like it, because they came from a torrid climate. They are the porters and janitors and house servants, they turn on the stern to full and the white folks just have to suffer." It seems strange that it did not occur to him that those porters and janitors were all born in the United States and did not come from a torrid climate. Some excitable individuals were recently thrown into conventions by the report that Hayti would send a great big black admiral to Jamestown, who would outrank all the officers in that vicinity; a report which proved to be groundless. Perhaps it would have been a good thing if he had come. The color-line does not seem to be properly adjusted to suit our international relations; and it might be well to have it Mason-and-Dixonized. PROTEST IS RIGHT. Commenting upon the following statement: "Senator Tillman is to have a bodyguard to police policemen while he is in Gambia, actress." "Afro-Americans from all over the county are urging the mayor to prevent Tillman from speaking here." The Evening Star remarks: It is a pity that the Afro-Americans everywhere are so poorly advised in the matter of Mr. Tillman's lectures. This is a country of free speech, and no man can be so blinded by the privilege. It may, however, be easily proved that a good many people besides the Afro-Americans are "so poorly advised;" which, we presume is also a pity. Notwithstanding the fact that this is a country of free speech, lecturers have been mobbed for making charges against the Catholic Church or for interfering with saloons. "Salome" has been tabooed in New York and "The Mikado" interdicted in London. We cannot see that it is any worse to protest against Tillman's hogwash than against Sapho. Mrs. Warren's Profession, or the Thaw nastiness. We observe a very great anxiety upon the part of the Democratic brethren to muzzle John Temple Graves. They seemed to be either tired or ashamed of his palvering. A DUTCH VIEW. The "Saintly City" and Saintly City Folks—Newly items of Social, Religious and General Matters Among the People.

To Whom It May Concern: The would-be lady who wrote the anonymous letters to Mr. and Mrs. Richardson under the guise of "A Friend," and used the name of my wife, for the impression it would make, should desist from such deprived work. Any woman who has stooped so low as to do such a thing is certainly a moral degenerate and her mind is dyed deep with deprivity. This "A Friend," if known, would be considered a leper upon society, and 'she is very much worse than a midnight assassin. A friend, and ladies are bearers of comfort and good cheer, but the disciples of Satan ply their fardious schemes when honest people are resting from their toil. Be wise, and desist from your calumnious iniquity before overtaken by a just God.

One of the most remarkable exhibits to be installed in the Afro-American Department is a friction-heater, of which Mr. C. S. L. Baker, of Kansas, is the inventor and patentee. In this wonderful machine, Mr. Baker has managed to multiply seven times over the average efficiency of electricity, producing heat by the friction process and has secured results almost unbelievable. He can, with his invention, heat a railway passenger coach without using an ounce of fuel, obtaining the motive power necessary to run his friction heater from the revolutions of the axes of the trucks beneath the roof, to a new building, when probably $6,000 of steamplumes would ordinarily be required, will operate a coffee stand at the exposition, where he will serve coffee mace by his friction-heater. Dr. Baker's unique machine bids fair to revolutionize existing methods of securing heat for public and private purposes. Mr. Clarence Cameron White, director of the musical exhibit, will have as a feature of his collection, a list of the music teachers of the country, to music of the country, taught, number of pupils and other data showing the extent of the development and aspiration of the Afro-American in the musical arena.
