POSES WHICH MAKE FOOT AND ANKLE AS PROMINENT AS FACE THE MUSICAL THEATRE MAY McKENZIE, WHO HELPED START THE FAD. VOL. 23 NO. 31. POSES WHICH MAKE FOOT AND PE Queen of the Stage: Now I in Posing for There seems to be a fashion in poses as well as in clothes, for pictures go in cycles and actresses of a certain period all affect the same kind of poses when they face the camera. For a time they went to the statuesque, the tall commanding figure, with the long train draped around it, being a favorite for quite a spell. But now the dress has been put away with the crinoline and the big sleeves, and all the actress now asks when she faces the photographer is a position that will put her feet and ankles in quite as prominent view as her face. In fact, in some pictures the slippers and stockings quite overmatch the face in the importance they take in composing the picture. The big hit now is posing with the legs crossed. Once such a picture would have scored an absolute and ignominious flashe. Not so long ago, no woman thought it good manners to sit that way, and as for having such a posture presented in a picture, she would have presented the mere suggestion. But woman, perhaps out of her nineteenth century craze for imitating man, has discovered that this is a comfortable and restful position, and she is not only adopting it for the home and stage use, but is using it as the ideal position in which to have a picture taken. Just who set the fad nobody knows, perhaps it was Fanny Ward, who long before she became the Princess Chimay, and a figure in a scandal of world-wide dimensions, had herself pictured as Cupid, and a dainty and charming picture she made, too. But the idea did not at once catch on, for even on the stage, much abused as it is, a certain reserve exists, and the actress hesitates to do that which she thinks will offend the public. But now the picture which shows the dainty skirts, the well turned ankle and rounded calf concealed in the glory of a pair of French stockings, is a genuine hit, and every beauty is hastening to have this kind of a photograph taken. A celebrated beauty who gained fame in the recent Thaw case, May McKenzie, friend of the young wife of the man who killed Stanford White, is given credit by some for causing the fad. It is said that she first posed for this picture under the direction of the architect, who had a great eye for the beautiful, and knew instinctively what would look well, either in painting or photograph. It was not long before she had a host of followers, among who was Lotta Faust, the bewitching singer, who made such a hit with the famous "Sammy" afterward burlesqued with such success by Fay Templeton. Anna Held's reputation for surrounding herself with beautiful women is well known. The French actress has never been afraid to test comparison by hiring for her support the most stunning show girls she could get. Thus the chorus in "Madame Napoleon" and in "The Parisian Model" makes a sensation. One of the most beautiful of the bevy of charmers in the latter production was Dorothy Bertrand. She and all the other girls of the show had themselves protographed in a dozen different poses, but the picture that made the greatest # THE BALLET LOTTA FAUST, ONE OF THE MOST GIRLISH AND NATURAL POSEURS hit was that of Miss Bertrand in the kind of pose treated of in this article kind of pose treated of in this article. Miss Bertrand infused a certain originality by having the picture show her in a three-quarter pose instead of full face. One graceful ankle is thrown lightly over a knee that a sculptor might be proud to model. It is not alone the actress of the comic opera or the lighter forms of entertainment who has attempted to test her charm in this kind of a picture. Many prominent stars who have earned their place in the haughty ranks of the legitimate have tried to see how they would look posed up in this kind of a picture. Photographers will tell you that most women are vain of their shapes. They may be keen enough to see that their faces are not all that might be desired, but when it comes to proportions they are all either secretly or openly confident that they have physique to bear comparison with anybody's. This harmless vanity is what helps the photographer to pay his bills, and he is the last person to tell a woman that she is not in the Venus class. ASK THE CAPTAIN.

"At this charming season," said an editor, "I think regrettfully of the late Josiah Flynt Willard, the famous expert on tramps. Mr. Willard invariably put on his tramping tags and took to the road at this season. He said the tramps were at their best—most amiable, most communicative — in the spring. "He used to laugh at their hatred of housecleanings. They avoided houses where that sort of thing was going on. They had a little mark, a cross within a circle, that meant 'Keep away — housecleaning here.' "Yes, they hated housecleaning. They were often known to refuse a roast beef dinner rather than beat a carpet. They had, in fact, all sorts of yarns about the horrors of carpet beating. "Willard told me a yarn that he heard on a May night, in a Maryland meadow, beside a fire of rails torn from a near-by fence. "A woman, according to this yarn, said to her husband: "Peter, I want you to give the hired man a severe scolding." "What for?" says Peter. "The hired man has been doing all right the last week or two." "I know that," said the lady. "But he's got to beat six carpets to-day, and he strikes so much harder when he's in a bad temper." HE DIDN'T SAY. Dumas Was Asked If He Had Read His Book. A popular novelist talked with regret at the Franklin Inn, a literary club of Philadelphia, about the old ghost habit of the past. "Famous painters first, and famous writers afterward, alike had ghosts," he said. "These ghosts were pupils, disciples. They did the basic work of the master's picture or novel, and the master polished up, put on the finishing touches, and signed his name to it. This practice, indeed, still maintains in architecture. "It was a practice that allowed a popular artist a manifold increase of production and, consequently, of income. Dumas, the elder Dumas, had no less than forty ghosts—forty intelligent young men writing away for him about D'Artagnan, Porthos, Aramis and the rest. "But Dumas was reckless, and the existence of his forty ghosts became known. Hence a good deal of scandal. "At the height of this scandal Dumas said to a lady one night: "Have you read my last book, madam?" "The lady, with a mischievous smile, replied: "No, Monsleur Dumas. Have you?" For Father-in-Law.

"Bertha lent it to me, bless the darling" Defective Page LURE OF SIMPLE LIFE IS DECIMATING WALL STREET Men Who Been Foremost in All Big Deals of a Decade Are Withdrawing. The simple life is decimating Wall street. The passion for playing the market, for dealing in stocks and bonds, for effecting financial deals on whose issue hung millions, was thought to be a lure so powerful that once in its grasp no man could ever withdraw. But this must be a fallacy, for within a few weeks three of the most powerful operators on the street, Thomas F. Ryan, John W. Gates and Charles G. Gates, have quit finance, and are now seeking the simple life. Shades of Jay Gould, Russell Sage and a hundred other giants who died in harness. It is hard to credit! Gates went first, and his son went with him. John W. was admittedly the greatest gambler in the country, if not in the world. On a game of chance, on any stock deal that looked good, on a horse race, on even the turn of a coin, he would bet a million dollars as coolly as the man in moderate circumstances would risk $5 note, and he knew how to lose gracefully. No one disputes Gates' pre-eminence as a gambler. His pet phrase, "Bet you a million," was famous from one end of the land to the other, and none ever took liberties with his habit of using it, for they knew that John W. was likely at any minute to make a bluff good. gued that a man's bets should be in proportion to his wealth, or the cut of money he stood chances of making on some independent operation. Two thousand dollars on the whirl of roulette wheel meant no more to him than the 25-cent ante of the drum in a Pullman car game of poker. One man will feel no regret at the withdrawal of the Gates pair from the market. This is J. P. Morgan. B to bernigan and the Gates pair existed a hatred that was as just stout a cordial. Morgan never forgave Gates for overreaching him in that sensations coup when John W. gained control of the Louisville and Nashville. By way of punishment Morgan kept Gates on the steel board, though the Western was very anxious to represent the holdings of the Illinois Steel company on the directorate. He raved when he heard of his elusion, and always promised that the day would come for him to humble Morgan. Now that he drops out, it probable that the old score will remain unsettled. Charles G. Gates is only thirty-one years of age, and is a chip off the bone, being as fearless as his father. Most of their operations from the time the son came to a business age have been carried on together, and it known that the elder Gates possesses Gates is still a young man as millionaires go, and it is a matter of surprise that at fifty-two he is willing to get out of Wall street and take himself and his son to Europe merely to have a good time, and forget the old battles of millions that used to give him his favorite amusement. As a start in life he sold barbed wire long before this valuable cheek on the straying habits of cattle had become popular. In a few years Gates made more money out of the business than he could count. Then he came in contact with J. Pierpont Morgan, from whom he borrowed $330,000 with which to buy steel. He purchased so that the price jumped to $10 a ton, and he made $100,000 merely by letting Carnegie have 10,000 tons of the steel he bought with the money borrowed from Morgan. This success convinced Gates that he had too much ability for what is now called high finance to waste his time in the detail of straight business. He organized a succession of companies—The Consolidated Steel and Wire company, The Illinois Steel company, The American Steel and Wire Company of New Jersey. He became chairman of the board of directors that suggested the billion dollar steel trust to Morgan, and was so successful in all he tried that soon he was hated and admired in Wall street above, almost any man operating there. A sensational turn of affairs that put him in control of the Louisville & Nashville tailroad added more to his fame. Luck came to him so regularly on Wall street that he decided to buck harder game, and he launched into horse racing with prodigal hand, and made killing after killing. So successful were his horses that superstitious gamblers got to the point where they would bet anything on any animal that came from the Gates stables, no matter what its name or by whom opposed. Gates never knew what it was to fear any man or set of men, and some of his extremes offended Wall street, which is a place not noted for an excess of scruples. But his personal popularity or unpopularity never moved Gates an toota. He was content to go W. H. ahead and make good. That accomplished, men could speak of him as they would. "Well, does you know anybody what wants to buy a live alligator?" Some men are like some dogs—their bark is about all there is to them. gued that a man's bets should be in proportion to his wealth, or the sum of money he stood chances of making on some independent operation. Two thousand dollars on the whirl of a roulette wheel meant no more to him than the 25-cent ante of the drummer in a Pullman car game of poker. One man will feel no regret at the withdrawal of the Gates pair from the market. This is J. P. Morgan. Between Morgan and the Gates pair existed a hatred that was as insistent as cordial. Morgan never forgive Gates for overreaching him in that sensational coup when John W. gained control of the Louisville & Nashville. By way of punishment Morgan kept Gates off the steel board, though the Westerner was very anxious to represent the holdings of the Illinois Steel company on the directorate. He raved when he heard of his exclusion, and always promised that the day would come for him to humble Morgan. Now that he drops out, it is probable that the old score will remain unsettled. Charles G. Gates is only thirty-one years of age, and is a chip off the old block, as fearless as his father. Most of their operations from the time the son came to a business age have been carried on together, and it is known that the elder Gates possesses a most flattering estimate of his son's abilities. Coming almost simultaneously with the exit of the Gates pair is the farewell of Thomas F. Ryan. He, too, has left for Europe after making arrangements for disposing of his holdings in the gigantic corporations with which he has been identified for the last twenty-five years. Ryan quits, it is said, because he has achieved his ambition. When he entered Wall street he resolved that he would never be content till he had made one hundred million dollars. At that time it looked improbable that he would succeed in going that far, but those in a position to know say that Ryan has now considerably more than that amount of money, in fact can raise cash in excess of it by selling out his holdings. Mr. Ryan, after his return from Europe, will live the simple life on the T. F. RYAN, Who is about to retire. superb estate he has purchased for himself in Nelson county, Virginia. There are those who say that his retirement has the ultimate aim of carrying him into the United States senate, and there was also a wild rumor that he had designs on the presidency. But Mr. Ryan will admit neither story. His answer is that having made the pile which he set for himself he needs no more, and thinks he has a right to settle back and enjoy the remainder of his days in luxurious ease. The only interests which Mr. Ryan has not either sold or transferred are those in the larger trust companies and banks. These are the Morton Trust company, the Metropolitan Trust company, the National Bank of Commerce and the Union Exchange bank. In all of these he is a director. He is first vice president of the Morton Trust company and the National Bank of Commerce. It is said that he will relinquish his office of vice president in both these institutions but will retain his directorships in them. Mr. Ryan holds the controlling interest in the Equitable Life Assurance society. He obtained this control at the time of the company's reorganization. His Equitable stock is held in trust for five years by Grover Cleveland, Jorgan J. O'Brien and George Westinghouse, and at the expiration of that time they may renew the trusteeship. The Equitable is the only large corporation, therefore in which "Miss Bud, I am thinking of marrying into your family." "How original you are! But I have no papa whom you may ask." "No; so I have asked your mamma, and we are to be married next month." "That wealthy fellow wished to marry her, did he not? "Yes, and it is my opinion that when she gave him the mitten she put her foot in it." Mr. Ryan will be obliged to keep his interest. As the trustees have complete charge of it, Mr. Ryan will not be forced to bother much about it. In the last two years Ryan has come to be recognized as the most important man in Wall street. What Jay Gould, the elder Vanderbilt arca J. Pierpont Morgan have been at various other periods, Mr. Ryan was until a few weeks ago, when he gave up the strenuousness of life in the street for the ease of a country gentleman. Hardly has any financial pie been cut but that the master manipulator at 32 Nassau street had a finger in it. All the other big chieftains of the street sought his aid before attempting anything, and if they could not have him for an ally at least assured themselves of his neutrality. Mr. Ryan is only three years older than Gates. He started his career in a Baltimore dry goods house in 1868, but this was too slow a way to make money for the man who was eventually to be tossing millions around in the market, and in 1870 he went to New York to try his luck there. He began in a small position with a stock broking firm, and while giving his employers good service did not overlook the main chance. A successful deal gave him money to launch YOUNG CHARLEY GATES. out for himself, and in 1874 he bought a seat on the stock exchange. Not a man who courted publicity, but who rather kept in the background, Ryan was not at once recognized as the big factor he afterward became. It was not until financial men noticed that in pretty nearly everything that came off Ryan had some part that he was acknowledged as a factor to reckon with. The passing of Ryan will make a new distribution of power in the street, and may produce some new leader to fill the vacated place. NAMED PILLS AS WEAPONS Extraordinary Duel That Was Arranged by a Doctor. An extraordinary duel, which at the time created an immense sensation, was one in which the decision was arrived at, not by swords or pistols but by means of a deadly poison. The men, who, it is hardly necessary to say, had fallen out over a lady, had left the arrangement of details to their seconds, and until they faced each other they did not know by what method they were to settle their differences. One of the seconds was a doctor and he had made up for the occasion four black pellets, all identical in size and shape, "In one of these," he said, "I have placed a sufficient quantity of prussic acid to cause the almost in staneous death of any one who swallows it. "We will decide by the toss of a coin which one of you is to have first choice and you will alternately draw and swallow a pill until the poison shows its effect." Two of the pellets were then taken as the toss had decided, but without effect in either case. "This time," said the doctor, speaking of the two pellets remaining, "you must both swallow the pill at the same instant." The choice was again made and in a few seconds one of the men lay dead on the grass. —Pall Mall Gazette Just Terriss' Luck: Poor Bill Terriss was very fond of a game of cards, poker being his special fancy, at which, as a rule, he had very bad luck. His favorite club was the Green Room, where of an afternoon, before going to work, he would frequently join the card table; One afternoon, playing poker, his luck was worse than usual; in fact, it was so bad that the other players had been sympathizing with him. At last he got a wonderful hand, and at that moment old Blakely, who had not very much idea of the game, if any, looked over his cards, and blurted out: "Oh, Billy! what a beautiful hand you have, dear boy—four aces," at which poor Terriss threw down his cards and began to curse.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 3, 1907. METHINKS, THE LADY DOTH PROTEST TOO MUCH. The kind of literature recently promulgated by Tom Dixon, Ben Tillman, Jim Vardaman and other mendacious, jimcrow rabble-rousers, has had a wide circulation all over the world and has done much to create the impression that the poor white woman of the South was in a most deplorable condition, caused by the lustful and brutal Afro-Americans who, at every point beset her path and lay in wait for her in every thicket. The poor white woman was represented as being virtually confined to her home, not daring to visit her nearest neighbor, to go to the well or to milk the cow. Her path was everywhere beset by the villianous Afro-American. These reckless exaggerations of the actual situation gained a wide circulation and were widely believed, because the southern newspapers thought that they answered a political purpose, and allowed them to remain uncontradicted. But those newspapers are beginning to discover that these lies are doing something not originally contemplated, and are defeating the thing at present most desirable in southern eyes, the securing of white immigra- J. HON. J. S. DURHAM Ex-Minister to Haiti. Now Interested in Development of Cuban Lands. HON. D. AUGUSTUS STRAKER Prominent Detroit Lawyer. Former Co unt Commissioner and Author of Text Written by Michael tion. Therefore those journals are beginning to revile the above-mentioned reckless prevaricators as slanderers of the south and doing that section an injury. The Aberdeen (Miss.) Examiner handles the Vardaman argument thus: "We have no hesitation in declaring that this state in all that makes for morality and good order will compare favorably with any other in the Union, or any foreign land. Crime is as rare here as in any land under the sun, and life and property and safety of person and goods as secure in Mississippi as anywhere else under the sun, and in this assertion we are supported by the grand jury reports at every term in almost every county in the common-wealth. "As to the crime of crimes that supplies the governor's stereotyped theme in his senatorial campaign, and evokes his most telling oratorical outbursts and dramatic postures, it is far rarer in Mississippi than in any state in the North or West, and we doubt if all the instances occurring during his administration would balance or parallel the record of any large city for a single month. These terrible pictures and forensic harangues would, if regarded, bar out desirable white immigration and make this, indeed, a black man's country. "He vividly depicts the dangers that environ the homes, though every one in the state knows there is not one farm house in a dozen in the state where the doors are locked at night, and that in numerous cases during the summer the doors and windows are left wide open from sun to sun, without dream of danger." The Memphis Commercial-Appalai quotes the article and confirms the statements of the Examiner as follows: "It is undoubtedly true, too, that farm house doors and windows are left unlocked in Mississippi, and property there is not guarded with anything like the care and system which seems essential to its safety in the North and East. These facts are true. Life and property are quite secure in Mississippi. It would be lamentable, indeed, should any other idea get abroad by reason of a great Mississippi political campaign." THE APPEAL is indeed grateful to both of these journals for their evidence that the Afro-American of the South is not as black as he is painted, and hopes that both of them will try to impress upon the minds of their readers the fact that a villainous course almost invariably leads to results not at all in contemplation when such course was inaugurated. As an illustration it may be mentioned that the rebellion led not to the establishment, but to the abolition of slavery. WHAT OF THE INDIAN? Some friends of Gov. Vardaman have issued a circular to the Democratic voters of Mississippi, which contains the following: "Leflore county sends you a cordial greeting in behalf of the candi dacy of her favorite son, Gov. James K. Vardaman, for the United States senate. "This, his home county, will give him a solid vote, not simply because of local pride, nor because he has made one of the fairest and best governors the state has ever had, but because he stands for white supremacy and a white man's rule in all of the United States. 'I will try,' he said, 'to secure the repeal of the war-born, Negro-voting fifteenth amendment.' He will do what he can to place the government of this country into the hands of the great mass of tax-paying, law-abiding liberty-loving white people wherever they may live. Whether it be the Chinese or Japanese problem on the Pacific slope, or the Italian, or the Negro problem in south or the immigration problem in the East, he will stand for the right and power of the Anglo-Saxon to control state and national government." In this connection, it is of some interest to note the fact that Lefore county is named from a big Indian chief who once lived there and of whom, it is said, Vardaman is a descendant. So the Mississippi champion of white supremacy is himself not a white man, otherwise than by legal enactment, and the circular issued by his friends, while it specifies what he will do in the case of the Chinese, the Japanese and even the Italians, says not a word about how he will dispose of the Indians. As to the "power" of the Anglo-Saxon to control state and national government, the talk is not first-class nonsense, for nobody knows what an Anglo-Saxon is. NOW THE JAPANESE ARE "WHITE FOLKS." Dr. N. Gordon Monro, who is a tremendously wise man, notwithstanding the fact that he parts his name in the middle, has succeeded in proving that the Japanese are "white folks." He asserts that "of the Caucasian origin of this basic stock, there is no doubt whatever." Furthermore, we are assured "that the conclusion of science seems to be that the Japanese race is primitively one of the white races, allied to the Persians and the Hebrews, and not to the Chinese. We fear that science will have a hard time in convincing Senator Tillman that the Japanese are "white folks." China seems to be as completely unable to manage her "Triads" and Boxers and other undesirable citizens as our government is to cope with the hoboes and hoodlums of San Francisco. It is, of course, very consolatory to our Caucasian pride to know that the flowery kingdom, with a civilization antedating ours by several centuries, has, like us, failed to work out the problem of working a big team of governments. Governor Vardaman has made a public profession of religion and THE APPEAL is curious to know how it will work on him. We shall remember him in our prayers. E. MILES EISHOP A.

Special Correspondence THE APPEAL Washington, August 1—The annual report of the Senate of the Senate made public recently shows total appropriation for miscellaneous items, $7,91.81 was unexpended and was returned to the Treasury. The larger items of expense—stationery, upgrading paper, ink, etc., took about $12,500, while for internal use for the Senators, $6,53.57 was spent. The other items ranged from skirt trunks to Capehagen snuff. A cooking and baking school for the navy is to be established at the naval training station, Newport, R. I., to be held at the Naval Hall.

Uncle Sam is a friend of the old. The old, the feeble, and the infirm employees of the Treasury Department have decided to see that they hold their positions until their dying day. Several weeks ago a committee was appointed for the purpose of increasing the efficiency of the service. This committee is the Secretary Cortelyou. Those on the committee are James B. Reynolds, acting Secretary of the Treasury; Assistant Secretaries Wintroph and Edwards, Controller Tracewell, and Auditor Person. There was a possibility that the committee might do away with the services of many of those who had grown gray and weak in the department. More information and the question discussed. More of the committee discussed. More of the committee discussed. In favor of reform, but at the same EISHOP One of the Leading B'sho time keeping the pensioners. And at last this was decided upon. The Treasury Department has in its employ more veterans of the civil war and other aged citizens, both men and women, than any other branch of the military, and the parts of the great building. Some of them have been there practically all their lives. One of these is E. B. McSwyny, ninety-two years of age, the oldest man in the service of the United States government. These people have been loyal and true to their team. Their work has been their ideal, their future and their livelihood. And then the news was whispered about the great corridors and through all the various offices that a reform was to be instituted. Naturally the veterans in the service be came anxious. Many of them are unable any support in the world except through a received monthly from the government. The report of the proposed reform spread like wildfire. The dear old women and the trusty men of years were almost brokenhearted. To work for the reform, they had to help them. Without their positions they would be virtually lost, out in the world, with a home, maybe, and still with a feelin of homesickness. They feel that if their services were disjointed, they would be like "men without a country." The anxious ones were kept on the anxious seat for weeks after they first heard the news. Then gradually the talk spread that old Uncle Sam had shown his hand. There was to be no reason why these employees and infirm just because they were not as young as they used to be. Because they had grown old in the service, it seemed to the officials, was all the more reason why these certain employees should be retained. Old Uncle Sam has made good again—his old friends are to be kent at work, every last one of them, until the very end. The committee, however, has decided to increase the efficiency of the department along some other lines. A study of the different divisions will be made and eventually the Treasury Department will have a new system installed. The Alabama House of Representatives has voted down a bill to tax the property of the Booker T. Washington School at Tuskegee. There were several sensational searches on the bill, one member declaring that the school should be wiped off the earth, and that it was the South's greatest curse. Most of the members, however, look upon the school as a great factor in the development of Alabama and the South. Hon. A. P. Prioleau of Prioleau, S.C., who is contesting for his seat in Congress was in the city recently and filed his case with the secretary of the House. The Bureau of Insular Affairs has received by cable information from the governor general of the Philippine Islands that the returns from registration preparatory to the election for members of the Philippine Assembly, which will take place on July 30, seem to be fairly accurate, as compared with 1905. In Manila the total registration was 7,902 of which number 865 were Americans. The small registration in the city of Manila is quite a surprise, as it was very nearly expected, in view of the far greater number of people possess the necessary educational qualifications, that the registration in that city would be very large. Making of hand books and betting on the races by clerks in the buildings of the government departments will be fraught with serious consequences in the future. Government officials will campaign against gambling, and it will go hand in hand with any one who is found to be indulging in such business. The administration of the Dominican finance for the last' two years by American banks has been so successful that the President Dominican republic will get a raise $1. pay. In the future he will receive $10,800 instead of $7,200 per annum, which is his present rate of pay. The two Salvation Armies in Washington are at war. feeling that has been strong for some time between the local branches of the armies came to a head today when the Salvation Army voiced the accusation that the extent of the women employed by the American Salvation Army had to hinder greatly the work of the women belonging to the Salvation Army. The Eight Annual Session of the National Business League is to be held at Topeka, Kansas, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, August 14th, 15th and 16th, 1907.
