The Appeal

THE APPEAL KEEPS IN FRONT BECAUSE: 1-It aims to publish all the news possible 2-It does so impartially, wasting no words. 3-Its correspondents are able and energetic. VOL. 24. NO. 7. NNNSYL\ANIA boasts the accession of a unique women of all nations are studying to be physicians. GENNSYLVANIA boasts the possession of a unique school—a school where women of all nations are studying to be there. There are other schools like the Woman's Medical college, of course, but none is so large, and there is none in which so many races are represented. Scenes in the operating room of a museum, with the students crowding the rows upon rows of benches and the surgeons busy with the knife and forceps. In the pit below, are common enough. But think of a scene like this: A woman lies upon an operating table in the center of the "amphitheater," awaiting ailing or seriously operation. Surrounding her are other women—nurses and surgeons. Above on the tiers of seats sit a throng of young, and many of them pretty women, watching eagerly the deft strokes of the scalpel, and, cool and collected, look on the face of what the MISS DOLORES PEREZ-MARCHAND Porto Rican student at the college. lay observer would call "the horror of a surgical operation." Here and there in the throng is a foreign-looking face, indicating the exception to the general rule of Americans. The kimono of the Japanese maid covers L-4 frail forms of some of the mikado's subjects, whose dark, almond-shaped eyes are aglow with intelligent interest. Rubbing elbows with her is a Chinese maiden in her pictureque garb, also absorbed by the exhibition going on below. Next to the Chinese girl sits one whose face bespeaks the Pole, and others are German, French and Italian, English femininity, with the beautiful clear complexion of the island across the sea, and the faces of the women sits an American negress. Finally they are the faces of Turkish women, Cubans and Filipino malnails, and scattered all over the seats are types of the clear-brained, self-reliant and intelligent American woman from all parts of the country. The faces and comic paper jest about the woman faintting at the sight of a mouse seems cheap and foolish in an atmosphere of this sort. Most physiologists say that they attended their first clinic as medical students with many qualms, and if they got away without faintting they felt lucky. All the women are also a sign the an operation is a trying one ordinary nerves, so it follows that these earnest women students possess a reserve force of nerve control not understood by the person who first perpetrated the mouse fable. The large-chinese, `inspectable` stature, commonly known as the "maniac," misses at these clinics. Instead a delicacy of feature and a sympathy essentially womanly, together with high With Apologies To—Whom?

"What luck on your hunting trip?" "Extraordinary. I wanted a buck, but I shot a cow which, I found, was worth just fifty bucks." intelligence and earnestness of purpose is noticeable in the faces which look down from the benches. Just now the women students are trying to raise funds for the hospital, and have organized various entertainments in which the international play the children play an important part. They are succeeding too, for as the people of the country realize just what the school is doing, they are coming quickly to its support. The Woman's Medical college stands for what has been accomplished by the so-called "new woman," and the result measured by years is little short of marvelous. To understand how women have overcome prejudice and handicaps in a very few cases, a book written by Dr. Clara Marshall, dean of the college, and read a chapter on early efforts of women to enter the medical profession. This chapter includes a clipping from a newspaper, a missionary account is given of a clinic at the Pennsylvania hospital—the first which women were permitted to attend. Here is an excerpt: "When the ladies entered the amphitheater they were greeted by yells, hisses, and offensive remarks upon their personal appearance, etc. . . . During the last hour missiles of paper, tinfoil, tobacco quids, etc., were thrown upon the ladies, while some of the men defiled their tables with tobacco juice. It was the ladies to say that they maintained their position as scientific students by a quiet and modest demeanor." It is interesting to note the course of the Woman's Medical college graduates. Do they take the medical course as a fad, or do they intend to follow it as a life work? Do they perform coronary interfere with their profession? Do they prove incompetent as practicing physicians? The answers to these questions may best be found in a table compiled by the college and which shows results in the speak well for the institution's work. The following query was sent out to 224 graduates recently: 'Are you engaged in active medical practice?' Of the replies received, 166 were in agreement, 100 were negative, the negative, and the reasons given were: Domestic duties; 8; philanthropy.

Seventy-six of the women practitioners gave the monetary return from their practice, and the average figured out about $3,000 a year. Ten reported making less than $1,000 a year; 24 made $1,000 or more, but under $2,000; 20 made between $2,000 and $2,000; 10 between $,000 and $4,000; 5 between $,000 and $5,000; 3 between $5,000 and $15,000, and 4 between $15,000 and $20,000.

"I'd just got my first job as a boy in a grocery, and one of the various things delivered to the good used to go around to the harm where we kept the horse and hook him up mornings and drive him around to the store, and when I was off with him delivering something, why, there he'd stand through the day, out in front of the shop.

P Experience, recent and somewhat whitish, has taught the country what the leading intellectuals have been dining into the ears of lawmaker and layman for many years—that there is something amiss with our currency system. It needs stretching, the bankers say, that is, if it must include some safety valve through which extra circulation may be had when the volume of the country's business is so large that ready currency is needed in all parts of the nation at the same time. One of the pet schemes advocated by the currency system reformers is the federal bank idea, a scheme for a great central institution, something like the Bank of England, through which the money market can be transmitted and吸收 money the money market in times of stress. It is to be a sort of financial life-saving station. Various lawmakers view in the plan various ways. Some are enthusiastic over the idea, but some go on to describe the scheme, while others dismiss it absolutely. "Uncle Joe" Cannon, speaker of the national house of representatives, who wields a mighty power that bills often win or lose at his nod, is the one who expressed his opinion of the project in very "nonesque" language the other day when some one asked him what he thought of it. "Oh—" said "Uncle Joe," and the word "nonesque" "shawr"; neither was it "tudge," but it summed up his opinion. All this indicates that congress is not going to break its record and be a unit over even such a vital question as whether reform of the federal bank scheme willough be just as though it were a big new idea. The fact that it is not new is an interesting one to recall at this time, because the United States has had two other presidents who are buried in the long past out of the recollection of all but the oldest of the older generations. But the buildings where the government did its own banking still stand as monuments to the system which it was built in, and two of the interesting landmarks of Philadelphia, the Quaker City, which is known as the "Cradle of Liberty," and is perhaps the richest spot in point of historical interest in the country. It was in 1791 that congress, chiefly the House of Representatives, first secretary of the treasury, authorized the establishment of the first Bank of the United States. Hamilton's original idea was to include the Bank of North America, which Robert Morris founded, in the building where the makers thought otherwise, and they chartered a new institution with a capital of $10,000,000 to run for twen- years. Thomas Willing, one time partner of Thomas Willing, was chosen president of the bank, and the institution fulfilled its functions for the allotted time in the face of an agitation by the bank's board, the secretary of the treasury at the time of the war of 1812, was strongly in favor of congress renewing its charter, but his advice was not heeded and the bank passed into the hands of Stephen Girard, the great philanthropist and the president of the Guild of the Treasury of Stephen Girard, and operated it as a private enterprise. It is still in existence under the same name. Need for a revival of the federal bank was felt in 1816, and congress was prepared upon a authorize a charter upon the Guild of the Treasury of United States in that same year. It was around this institution that the great "bank war" raged for many years and in which those two remarkable men, Nicholas Biddle and Andrew Jackson, were the striking figures. The bank was founded and the central center of the country in those days. As in the case of the first bank, Philadelphia was chosen for its home, as the City of Brotherly Love was the central center of the country in those days. The new bank occupied a magnificent marble building on Chestnut street, above Fourth, now used as a custom house and the subtreasury. Its valuas were six or seven millions of dollars, amounted to about six millions more. It had outstanding about 111,000,000. and a basket under the other, to put in the wagon, the horse was gone! "Now, you know, I've had several hard jolts in the course of my life, but do you know, I don't think I ever had a harder one than that." "You see, I was young, that was my first job and my first responsibility, and everything seemed big to me then; and I'd been entrusted with the care of a horse and wagon, and now I lost it. I thought I never seen the street look so empty; with that horse gone it seemed as if everything was gone; and I just stood there in the store door, with those things under my arms, helpless, and gazed at where the horse ought to be, stunned by the first hard shock that had ever struck me. "But that same minute a man coming along the sidewalk, and who saw me standing there and who knew what was the matter from something that he had just seen and from seeing me, says, throwing his thumb back over his shoulder: "I just saw him walking off there, around the corner." "And if somebody should come in now some day when I was $50,000 M. \MISS MARY SALOM From Syria to study medicine. short in my engagements and tell me just where I could go to get the money I shouldn't feel so much relieved as I did that day when this man told me what had become of the missing horse. I "hadn't had much experience of horses then, but of course I knew, when the man told me that, that the horse hadn't been stolen or run away; that he'd just got tired of standing on the street and the street had started to walk back to the barn. And there I found him all right. He had miscalculated a little turning in from the street and brought up with one of the front wheels of the wagon against the fence on the side of the driveway, but he'd halted at that, and there he stood with nothing broken: "And what a blessed relief to me that was! And to be sure I never left him standing after that without tying him." "You don't want to be timid, son, ever; but it's foolish to take unnecessary ricks." I Do the Best I Can. I do the very best I know how—the very best I can; and I mean to keep doing so until the end. If the end brings me out all right, what is said against me won't amount to anything.

Indeed, they were worth their face in specie in any foreign exchange house in London, Paris, Calcutta or St. Petersburg. The annual profits of the institution were increased in the bank in Philadelphia 100 clerks, and it had 25 branches in various towns and cities of the Union, employing 400 or 500 more. Through its agencies all the revenues of the national government were received and disbursed. Nicholas Biddle, who wore at once the reputation of a pupil of the handsomest men in America, the best scholars and one of the shrewdest financiers of his time, succeeded to the presidency of the second bank upon the retirement of Langdon Cheves, a leader in congress and a South Carolina man, who was first president of the bank. This was in 1823. Biddle had been a director of the bank since 1819. Andrew Jackson represented an element in the country opposed to the Federal bank plan, and he had not been long in the White House before Biddle, whose heart and soul were burned up in the institution, realized that Jackson would do battle with a powerful adversary and be able to remain a part of the nation's financial system. The clash between the two strong men was precipitated when Biddle refused at Jackson's request to remove Mason's a friend of Daniel Webster, the chief banker of the branch bank at Portsmouth, N. H. "Old Hickory's" ire was aroused and his NICHOLAS BIDDLE, Financier, scholar and Adonis, who battled with Andrew Jackson over the second United States bank. hatred of Biddle and the bank assumed the most implacable form. Finally he vetoed bills to re-charter the bank at the expiration of its life in 1836. He withdrew the government deposits and put them in state banks, regardless of the district in financial and business circles which his course induced. Biddle on his side, by nature somewhat formal and ceremonious in his manner, and made a little vain of his position because of the deference he received long before his account of his financial power, neither at first or afterward offered to abate anything in the struggle. While he overrated his power, he was not to be outdone, and applied for the bank of the United States. Thus, when the national grant expired, the doors continued to open each morning as of yore under the name of the Bank of the United States of Pennsylvania. So well did Biddle manage that he weathered a storm of suits against him and carried the bank through the panic of 1837. When he retired from the presidency in 1838, the bank's financial affairs still looked well. But trouble followed in 1841, as a result of disturbances of that year, and in 1843 the shares were worth only $2. The eventual failure of his pet manure affected Biddle so keenly that he died in 1844, virtually of a broken heart. MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY GIFTS NOT TO BE ACCEPTED. Why Princes of India Are Safe in Offering Jewels to British Officers. There is a curious custom at the courts of the Indian princes. When a British officer or a physician calls upon a rajah he is shown into the reception room, where sits the rajah and gives the greatest office. After the exchange of the usual salutations one of the officers brings in a tray on which are displayed jewels and golden ornaments studded with valuable stones, perhaps worth £50,000 or more. The tray of valuable is supposed ALEXANDER HAMILTON, First secretary of the treasury, who was instrumental in obtaining con- gressional sanction for the federal bank plan. to be a present from the rajah to his visitors, and it is offered first to the gentleman, who inclines his head, touches the edge of the tray with the tips of his fingers, and it is then passed over to the lady who invariably accompanies the British officer, if he is married, on such occasions. She follows the example of her husband, and the tray and its contents are then reintroduced to the lady, who follows in lieu of the unaccepted jewels a long necklace of tinsel, of little value, is placed around the neck of each, where it remains during their stay within the palace. There is a very strict law against any British officer accepting, any gift from a native prince. Even when a doctor may have performed some serious operation upon a rajah, who being grateful, wishes to receive a money fee, varying from 200 to 500 and according to the operation performed present of a shawl, golden cup or some similar valuable, the doctor must obtain special permission from the vice-roy before he dare accept the present. If any officer accepts a gift of any value without such permission he may have to resign. This rule was made because in the old days, when the East India company governed India, an officer's pickings and the presents, often offered from the rajah, were worth much more to him than his salary. Correcting Her Answer. A teacher in the Garfield school was teaching a primary class the beginning of arithmetic. Now I have one pencil in my right hand, and one pencil in my left hand. She said, "How many pencils have I? Helen, you may answer." "Two," piped a small voice. "Then one and one make two, do they not?" "Sure." "The teacher trowned at the disrespectful answer. "That's hardly what you should have said," she said. "Will some one in the class tell Helen what her answer should have said." There was a moment of hesitation. Then one brown fat shot confidently into the air. 'Ah, James, you may tell Helen what she should have said." "Sure, Mike!" shouted Jimmie, in a tone of triumph—Kansas City Star. The Congressman. At home he is a great, big gun; His presence for knives. But when he gets to Washington he dwindles. NO RULE TO GUIDE OFFICIAL TITLES A DIFICULTY FOR THE UNINITIATED. "Should I address him as Your Excellency," as "Mr. President" or as just "President?" "I'm sure I don't know. Just murmur 'President', and I guess he won't know the difference." This conversation, overheard at one of the White House receptices, is indicative of the difficulty with titles encountered by visitors to the national capital. Nor is there any printed guide to follow. These things must be learned from well-posted friends, or from the press. In ye olden times no one ever thought of addressing the chief executive of the United States less formally than as "Your Excellency", but that expression is now relegated to the list of things that were. "Mr. President" is the correct form, both in speaking and writing. Mr. Roosevelt has even eliminated "The Executive Mansion" as the name of the president's official residence, and his stationery bears the simple inscription: "The White House." It is not only with the title of the chief executive that the uninitiated find difficulty, for there are many forms to be learned. For instance, cabinet officers are not addressed as Secretary Root or Secretary Garold. On the other hand, senators are addressed by their titles, as "Senator Lodge," "Senator Hale." A few people prefix "Mr." saying "Mr. Senator", but it is not considered as necessary, and by some is pronounced an affection. Polite usage requires, invariably, the prefix to the titles of members of the supreme court. For instance, one addresses the chief justice as "Mr. Chief Justice," and the associate justice as "Mr. Justice," although in making an introduction one would add the name, as: "Mr. Justice White." The rule which applies to the presidency also to the vice-president and to foreign ambassadors is addressed as "Mr. Minister," but in the case of ambassadors the form "Your Excellency," is used where one is reasonably well acquainted, when the simpler "Mr. Ambassador" is adopted, and in every instance one or the other of these terms is used instead of the diplomat's title of baron, count, or whatever it may be. Throughout the government service there are officials who are addressed by their title, with the prefix "Mr." such as the civil commissors, the interstate commissioners, the controller of the treasury, and it is always safe when in doubt to so address a man who holds a public office. With members of the house the simple "Mr." should be used, and not "Congressman," which is regarded as provincial, despite the fact that President Roosevelt apt to use that form. There are some members of the war department congress who like to be addressed as "Congressman," and it is probably in their preference that the president has adopted that expression. The speaker of the house is always addressed as "Mr. Speaker." Army and navy circles also present no little confusion because of the conflict between official titles and social usage. For instance, those who know never address socially a lieutenant by his title, despite the fact that he is so designated in the army register, and is so addressed by his brother on official business. He is simply a Smith, or whatever his name may be, and receives his title in the social world where he reaches the grade of captain. But, you may object, every one refers to and addresses the leader of the Marine Band as "Leutenant Santelmann." Very true, and that is because Lieutenant Santelmann is not a commissioned officer. He receives the title by virtue of his position as leader of the Marine Band, which carries with it the rank of lieutenant, and therefore every officer, whether speaking socially or officially, is punctilious to use the title. And so, too, is the same care exercised by every officer, and therefore every socially to speak to or communicate with the listed man of any arm of the military service, to address him by his rank alone, as: "Sergeant," "Corporal," "Private." Cat with Knowledge of Music. At a meeting of a Washington short story club the other evening a young woman from the northeast section, whose mind is said to run to innovations, produced from her handbag a roll of manuscript written on the of scritted paper delicately performed by the reader. Read her literary offering. It proves an account of the wonderful doings of her pet pussy cat, "Sweet Pea," as she had named the animal. She read how she had trained the cat to sing "Auld Lung Syne," "Annie Laurie" and other venerable alrs in the high falsetto voice for which the feline family is noted. Then the young woman related how, in the balmy summer nights, in the romantic mansion itself on some neighboring benches, denly fill the neighborhood with strains of music instead of the usual catawaualing that is produced by marauding pussy cats and Toms.

In these dark days when so many are going wrong on the question o the Afro-American’s suffrage rights it is refreshing to read what Attor ney General Bonaparte said in a re cent interview on the subject: “Mr. Bonaparte," a reporter asked “do you not think it would be 3 good thing for Maryland to have the eter nal Negro question settled once and for all?) “An excellent thing," replied the Attorney General, “but the suffrage —or, rather, anti-suffrage—amend: ment wouldn't settle it. There are questions which are never settled un: til they are settled right, and this i [one of them. A settlement which involves injustice, disloyalty to. the Constitution and’ trifling with th sanctity of others is, to. my mind auite sure to prove no settlement a all” “You speale of ‘disloyalty to thi Constitution’ How can it be sai fairly, that the amendment is uncon stitutional until the Supreme Cour has so declared it?” “That suggestion,” said the Attor ney General, “Seems to. me abou RTS, \ BE KH IE: LENZ A ge a (iim <s [PAG me eta PL. . ae BN. gid any me ee mo ae Be | Ba an oe S| aN alae CS De \ aint ye q ie | P a a “oN aetna oe FREDERICK DOUGLASS, Greatest Afro-American Whose Birthday Was Celebrated February 14th. equivalent to saying Cain wasn’t a murderer because he was never in- dicted by a grand jury, convicted by a petit jury or sentenced by a hu- man judge. The Constitution says Afro-Americans shall not be denied the suffrage because they are Afro- Americans, and this is precisely what this amendment is intended to do.” “But, Mr. Bonaparte, it is not because they are Afro-Americans, but because they are ignorant and venal that they should be disfranchised.” “Then,” answered Mr. Bonaparte, “let those good citizens advocate the disfranchisement of ignorant and ve- nal white men also, and I will be- eve them at least sincere, If a man sells his vote or doesn’t know how to cast it for the public good, the color of his skin or the fact that his grand- father either had a vote or hadn't can make no possible difference.” “Do you think the amendment ‘would, in fact, eliminate an undesir- able element from each of the two great parties? Would not the Re- publicans probably gain white votes if the great bulk of the Afro-Ameri- cans were no longer voters?” “T fail to see,” replied the Attor- ney General, “any change for the bet- ter or, indeed, any change at all which its adoption would make in the composition, purposes or methods of the Democratic party in Maryland. As for the Republican party, the question, to my mind, is not whether it may gain a few votes here or lose many votes there. It demands, ‘and always has demanded, the same ‘square deal’ for the black man which it asks for the white man, and when it no longer demands this I, at least, shall be no longer a Republican,” TOO GOOD TO BE LosT.

Twin City 2079. The celebration of the birthday of Abraham Lincoln, under the auspices of P. G. M. Council No. 123 and St. Paul Patriarchy No. 114, G. U. O. O. F., at Tschida Hall last Wednesday evening was a very grand affair There was a large crowd present and every person was glad to be there. The program consisted of selections by Ed. Green's orchestra; singing, "My Country 'Tis of Thee," members of the Order; reading Lincoln's favorite poem, Mr. J. B. Stokes; "Some of Lincoln's Great Deeds," Mrs. T. H. Lyles; piano selections, Miss B. M. Lowe; "Organization of Women of the Race," Mrs. Valdo Turner; solo, Miss Hattie Loomis; "Organization," Mr. F. L. McGhee; introduction, Mr. W. T. Francis; "Odd Fellows" Aims, Objects, Helpfulness," Hon. Edward H. Morris of Chicago. The program was very entertaining in every way. The Philomathic Club, composed chiefly of young people of St. James, under the leadership of Mrs. Horace S. Graves, who was ably assisted by Mr. Charles Miller, put on the stage the popular and heavy drama, "East Lynne," Monday night at Tschidsa's Hall. The admission was 25 cents, and if such an audience, larger in size, paying such an admission, has ever before greeted a set of young actors in this city it is beyond the memory of the oldest citizens who were present, the young man, arranged suitly for even a large drama, with curtains of many shaded colors, and with foot lights and curtain movements in keeping with the times, with an audience in sympathy with the different characters, and with a fine orchestra to play between acts, and in soft and sweet pieces, during the performance as the scenes demanded, the young people swayed their spectators at will. The story of "East Lynne" is too well known to repeat it here, so suffice it to say that the performance, which for the lion's share o f glory, which was so honoured upon them all, the successes is more remarkable when it is taken account that Booker T. Washington was in the city the same night. To say that St. James members, together with many other good church people of St. Paul, are proud of these young people is strikingly shown by the way they packed that hall Monday night. THE WASHINGTON RECEPTION Which Was Held at the Old State Capitol in Success in FY2020. Way The public reception which was tendered to Dr. Booker T. Washington at the old state capitol last Monday afternoon was probably the largest and most representative function of its kind ever witnessed in St. Paul. The hall of the House of Representatives could not contain the large concourse of people that gathered to see, hear and greet the great Washington arrived Monday morning and was domiciled at the Willard Hall. At about 2:30 p.m. messrs. W. T. Franck, M. Morgan, T. H. Lyles, Geo. W. Wills, J. Q. Adams and Revs. H. S. Graves and W. D. Carter, members of the committee of arrangements, called upon him at his hotel and escorted him to the state capitol, where he had been specially invited by Gov. Johnson. The party, on arrival, was immediately ushered into the private office of the governor, where a cordial greeting was extended to each by these two great talks of matters of interest, both giving and receiving valuable information, and the view was reluctantly concluded when Dr. Washington had to leave to go to the reception. On his appearance in the hall the vast audience, composed of over 500 persons of the Twin Cities, rose en masse and gave him the Chautauqua salute. He hall had been beautifully decorated with immense flags and a number of palms, ferns and potted plants, while a large barge of roses and carnations graced the speaker's stand. The exercises consisted of invocation by Rev. W. D. Carter; selections, Hamilton Mandolin Club; solos, Mrs. Bessie Roberts and Mrs. R. C. Minor; introduction, Mr. W. T. Francis; address, Dr. Washington. The exercises throughout were very pleasing. Mandolin Club discourses very sweet music, the soloists sang delightfully, Mr. Francis was quite happy in his introduction of Dr. Washington. Dr. Washington was, as he afterward expressed himself, highly delighted with the magnificent and cordial reception which was accorded him, and his auditors were as much delighted with his address; which lasted for over an hour, and was replete with words of wisdom and good, sound advice, which fell upon willing cars and was roundly applauded as the speaker proceeded. After the exercises were concluded the members of the reception committee introduced all who desired to meet Dr. Washington and a regular levy was held. In the meanwhile refreshment was served by the young ladies in charge of the same. It was nearly six o'clock before the crowds reluctantly left the hall. The committee in charge of the reception desires to thank the good citizens who aided financially, personally, or by their presence, or in any way contributed in making the reception the grand success it was and can give the assurance that Dr. Washington appreciated fully the great demonstration made in his honor. Dr. Washington, who came to the city under the auspices of the Congregational Church Clubs, filled his engagement with them by his address at People's church Monday night, when a very large crowd greeted him and listened to his magnificent address with evident pleasure and satisfaction. After he left People's church he was driven to the residence of Mr. W. T. Francis, where a number of gentlemen had assembled to meet him in a social way. Those present were: Rev. W. D. Carter, Rev. W. W. Withers, Minneapolis; Rev. J. S. Defective Page Strong, D. Geo. W. James, J. H. Dillingham, C. C. Colby, Duluth; O. Howell, G. H. Evans, O. C. Hall, F. D. Parker, S. E. Hall, Dr. Valdo Turner, H. High, Dr. O. Howard, J. B. Johnson, T. R. Morgan, Geo. W. Wills, T. H. Lyles, R. C. Minor, A. D. Green, J. Q. Adams, Henry Johnson, C. M. Tibbs, R. B. Chapman. This affair was somewhat in the nature of a "smoker." A number of those present gave their experience in the lines of their business, and then Dr. Washington gave a most valuable and helpful talk. The result of this and helpful talk is the organization then and after those present 'into a local Business League and the selection of Rev. W. D. Carter as president and T. R. Morgan as executive. Refreshments were served in the dining room, consisting of salmon salad, finger rolls, olives, ice cream and cake, coffee, cigars, after which the party adjourned. Dr. Washington spoke at the Congregational church in Minneapolis on Tuesday night, where he was again greeted by a large audience, and early Wednesday morning he left to fill an engagement in Iowa. He was highly pleased with his trip to the Twin Cities and the cordial manner in which he was received by their citizens. REV. J. C. REID, D. D.

Zion Baptist church, Sionue City, Iowa, made a visit to the Twin Cities this week and met many of his former friends. Since leaving Minnesota five years ago, he has earned the reputation of being a pulpit orator. It is said of him that he is one of Iowa's two fine preachers. He delivered two fine discourses at Bethesda Baptist church, Minneapolis, last Sunday, morning and evening, made a profound impression. His subjects were "Man's Lost Condition" and "Three Ages of the Spirit." Rev. Reid's success in his present field of labor is due to his persistent effort to rise. Although comparatively a young man, he has been before the public many years. He managed THE APPEAL three years, was head waiter of Hotel Nicollet two years, police officer five years, editor and proprietor of "The Afro-Ameri- A. B. can Advance" two years. He began his study in the theology at the Missionary training school of Minneapolis and completed the course two years later at Omaha, Neb. He studied law at the State University of Minnesota, during which time he wrote a book on the "Destination of the Soul of Man." His activity in the state of Iowa has been marked with great success. He received the Dept. of Decision Divinity from McKinley University in a year ago. Was made president of Northwestern Baptist Association of Iowa. He is active in matters pertaining to the race, having lectured on "the problem," and also preached at many of the leading white churches in Iowa. Reid. Reid is a member of the Ministerial Alliance of Sioux City, composed of the ministers of the city, and is highly respected, both by the pulpit and press. His success in Sioux City has been marvelous, both financially and spiritually. But in spite of his success elsewhere, he says in his book "The Praise of Minnesota. THE PPEALB" that suggested that in view of the fact that Baptist church of Minneapolis is without a pastor that the members of the church might induce Rev. Reid to take charge of the church. 224 Washington Av. S. Minneapolis Minn. 224 Washington Av. S. Minneapolis Minn. CHAS, W. DWYER, PROP.

To the lovers of good, clean burlesque, a treat is offered the patrons of the Star theatre for the week commencing Sunday, Feb. 16. The father of the show will offer "Relly in Egypt" Show will offer the physical absurdity of an openning ski. HOTEL DWYER. JOHN H. HARRIS James J. Corbett in "The Burglar and the Lady" at the Grand Next Week In introducing Mr. James I. Corbett in last season's successful offering, "The Burglar and the Lady," at the Grand for the week commencing tomorrow matinee, the prominent realizes the fact that there are but few men who have been so constantly in the public eye in the past few years as he, and while much has been written and printed about him, it is not generally known that he had ambitions in place as a footlight favorite long before he became famed as an athlete in fact he made his professional appearance in 1888 at San Francisco, playing a part in a bursleague on "Camille," and associated with him in the cast of Miss May Irwin, Mr. Willie Collier and a number of others whose names not head their own companies. His first star part was in a drama written for him styled "Gentleman Jack," and it was followed by "The Adventurer" and "The Naval Cadet," all of which were highly successful artistically, and the show world began to take Mr. Corbett seriously as an actor, and the showmer offering from a vaudeville syndicate divorced him from the legitimate offer for six years he was head liner in all the best of the continuous houses, presented by a monologue. At the beginning of last season, when the Burglar Brow craze was at its height, the Irish cynic's satire "Cashel Byrons' Process" was dramatized and presented for a run at Dailley's Theatre, with Mr. Corbett in the name part, and his success in the difficult role may be better judged by the fact that the entire metropolitan press was most energetic in recognition of his efforts. Mr. Corbett will hold a reception on the stage after the Wednesday matinee, and all those present will be invited upon the stage to shake hands with "Gentleman Jim." There will be a reception after the Saturday matinee, and Mr. Corbett's photograph will be given the ladies with "Reilly in the West" for a burlesque. Both have been written by Mr. Pat Reilly, who also essays the principal comedy character in each. A beautiful stage setting is required and carried for these two skits, together with some of the most unique electrical effects ever seen with a burlesque combination. The olo numbers, together with a porpoise embodiment of pretty show girls, will create doubt, a favorable impression on the minds of those who will be fortunate enough to get a glimpse of this well-known attraction. HON. E. H. MORRIS. Guest of Honor at Dinner at Carling's With F. L. McGhee, Esq., as Host. The city of St. Paul contained the leading and wealthiest Afro-American lawyer of the United States last Wednesday, when Hon. E. H. Morris of Chicago arrived to deliver an address at the Lincoln celebration of the Odd Fellows. As his stay was to be brief, F. L. McGhee, Esq., conceived the idea of doing him honor and arranged for a dinner at Carling's up-town restaurant, which was given in the famous "blue room" Wednesday evening at 6 o'clock. The menu consisted of six courses without wine. Mr. S. McGhee acted as toastmaster. B. S. Smith, Esq., of Minneapolis responded to "The Lawyers": Dr. R. S. Brown, Minneapolis, "The Doctors": Dr. Geo. W. James, St. Paul, "The New School." The guest of honor made a few happy remarks. The guests were: 'Hon. Edward H. Morris, Chicago; W. R. Morris, Esq, Minneapolis; Dr. R. S. Brown, Minneapolis; J.

"While cruising in the Pacific," said he, "we passed an island which was positively red with lobsters." "But," said one of the guests, smiling incredulously, "lobsters are not red until boiled." "Of course not," replied the undaunted admiral, "but this was a volcanic island with boiling springs." --- DOINGS IN AND ABOUT THE GREAT "FLOUR CITY."

This book contains 390 pages, neatly bound, it is a well written and interesting volume. It contains a complete series' of the study of the International Sunday School Lessons for 1908, with the subjects and motto textsf or the lessons of the year 1909. It is the fifth volume and is by far the most complete of its kind. There are several interesting facts connected with the publication of this book, possibly the most important being that it is the first of its kind ever attempted by the Afro-Americans in the United States, and is the only Baptist Commentary published in this country. The Afro-Americans Baptists have scored a wonderful victory through their secretary, Rev. R. Boyd, of Nashville, Tenn., in getting the book edition. The editors of the book are Rev. R. H. Boyd, D. D., LL, D, secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board and founder of the National Baptist Publishing House, and Rev. W. E. Ellington, A. B., the editorial secretary of the Board. The demand for the book has grown from 3,000, the first volume, until the present year it was decided to print 8,000 of the first edition. The indications are the entire edition will be disposed of. Mr. A. K. Clark, the progressive proprietor of the Kendrick Restaurant, has secured new quarters at 150 E. Third street, where he will on next Monday open a first-class hotel and cafe. The hotel has 30 rooms, steam heated, and has all modern conveniences. There will be private dining rooms on the second floor, while the first floor will be devoted to the cafe, where meals may be had to order at all hours. There will be a regular dinner from 12 to 2:30 at 25 cents. Old and new patrons are cordially invited. THE STATE SAVINGS BANK Total Deposits, $3,000,000—Surplus Fund. $60,000.

The Boys' Culture Club takes this opportunity to thank the twenty-seven (27) good citizens of St. Paul for contributing $26 of the $50 asked to pay for the gymnasium outfit which we have contracted for. This $50 was to have been paid on or before October 20, 1907, but owing to the fact that we tailed to raise the stated amount on that date, we have asked for the time to be extended, and the time was extended 30 days. Will you help us to raise the remaining $24 within the next 30 days? Trusting that we have 24 more good friends that will give us $1 cach, for which we would be very thankful.

It goes often hand in hand with compassion. It is always sane and clear-eyed, and none the less so for its kindly smile and thrill of sympathy as it contemplates the follies, foibles, and faults of men. In the sympathy lies its kinship and acquaintance with pathos. But it is the sanity, the clearsightness, of humor that keeps the pathos from degenerating into pathos or anything that could be described as maudlin. Humor is on the best of terms with sentiment, so long as it is true and healthy. When, however, feelings have passed from their natural spontaneousness into a secondary stage where they have become self-conscious, are called out for drill and marshaled for parade, then sentiment has degenerated into sentimentality. Genuine humor is too loyal a friend of truth to have anything to do with such artificiality or to associate with sentimentality."—Extracted from "Humor: Its Kinsfolk and Acquaintance," by Bishop Chaucey B. Brewster of Connecticut, in the North American Review. INTRICACIES OF THE LAW. Students Sought Information on How to Address Policeman. W. H. Mallock, the well known English writer and political economist, said at a dinner in New York, apropos of a new definition of socialism: "I find that definition rather confusing. It reminds me of a young Oxford student's badness with the policeman. "Officer,' said the youth, late one o'night, 'I'd like to ask you a question.' "Very well, sir." "Does the law permit me to call you an ass?" "You move on,' the officer growled. "But stop a bit,' continued the youth. "Does the law permit me to call an ass a policeman?" "The law don't say nothing about that,' was the gruff reply. "Then,' said the youth, 'good night, Mr. Policeman.'" The Committee of twelve is arranging to circulate 50,000 copies of Mr. Andrew Carnegie's recent speech in Edinburgh on the progress of the Afro-American.
