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. THE COURT HOUSE OCCASIONAL RUDENESS NOTICED IN SOCIAL CIRCLES. Instances Where Hostesses and Guests Have Temporarily Forgotten the Amenities Usually Observed in Polite Circles. Stories are constantly being told of rudeness shown to strangers in the national capital and of slights put upon Washington hostesses by their would-be guests, or vice versa. At a small private cotillon given about two years ago a handsome Washington girl who had been extensively entertained and whose head was so turned by the attention paid her that she considered she was a law unto herself socially met with a deserved reproof. On receiving her invitation to the cotillon she told several of her friends that she really did not know whether to attend the dance or not; it very much depended on who else was going and whether it would pay her for the exertion. It happened that her hostess was one who never permitted the younger generation to treat her discountedly. The night of the dance the young girl approached her and greeted her with the most condescending air. "Oh, how do you do?" replied her hostess, quietly. "This is quite a surprise. I really did not expect to see you to-night, as you have never answered my note of invitation, which I am aware you received. I fear you will have no partner, as, after waiting ten days, I filled your place." A retort discourteous which caused much adverse comment was made at a luncheon recently. There is a popular young girl who goes out a good deal in Washington, but it is pretty generally known that she selects for her intimate friends those who are well off in this world's goods. One of them whom she particularly cultivated was the source of many of her good times last winter and took her automobiling day and night in a big touring car. This friend is spending the winter away from Washington, but came to the city on a visit recently. A luncheon was given for her, and the southern girl was one of the guests. During the luncheon the latter called across the table to her last winter's friend: "I am so disappointed that you have decided to live in the north. What shall I do without you this winter?" "Oh, I guess you'll walk," was the curt reply. A popular Washington clubman had an unpleasant experience lately when he called at the home of a family whom he had known intimately when they were in Italy. He had been urged to call on them when they opened their home once again in Washington. It was their reception day, and there were a number of people present whom he already knew when he entered the large drawing room. He was formally announced by the footman, and advanced hurriedly to greet his hostess, whom he had not seen since dining with her and her husband in Paris six months before. She shook hands with him indifferently and answered his remarks rather discourently. A trifle nettled, he bowed to her and turned away. As he did so she turned to a man standing near her, and asked in a perfectly audible tone: "Who is that person?" The clubman stayed by a moment longer, and then left the room. In the front hall he asked the footman for his cards and when they were handed to him he promptly tore them up and left the house. Titles in Agricultural Department. The scientific sharps of the department of agriculture take unto themselves many high-sounding names. Their titles are more like those of professors of a medical college than of men teaching American farmers how to raise bumper crops of corn and ruta-bagas. There is a "soil physicist," who draws a good wad of Uncle Sam's money annually, serving also as chief of bureau. Ditto a "pathologist and physiologist" of plants and an "assistant pathologist and physiologist" of plants. "Dendrologist" is a frequent title among employees of the forest service. There are "soil bacterologists," "corn breeders," "wheat breeders," "cotton culturers," "taxonomic investigators," "drug and poisonous plant inquirers," a,"chief of ocean meteorology," a "chief of microchemical laboratory" and "editors" galore. SOURCE OF ONE "SCOOP." It may not be wide of the mark to tell how once on a time a Washington correspondent, who, with 20 of his followers, was in the outer White House office, secured what is known to the daily writing fraternity as a "sooop," and secured it under the very noses of his fellows. This thing hardly can happen more than once in a newspaper man's lifetime under similar circumstances. It was in the early days of railroad rate agitation. The whole country was anxious to know what the president intended to do, what bill for rate regulation he intended to indorse and what member of congress was to be the lucky father of the measure which was to hold the country's interest certainly for an entire session. While the correspondents were in the White House office a man came out from the president's room, passed unchallenged by the newspaper men, for apparently none of them knew him, and walked rapidly away from the entrance in the direction of Pennsylvania avenue. One correspondent did know this man by sight, but he held his peace and his own counsel. Before the president's visitor had vanished from sight, however, the correspondent who knew who he was started after him and overtook him. The correspondent was taking the one chance in 500 that he could "land" a story. He happened to know that the president's visitor was an absolutely new member of congress from Michigan, and a man who had made a considerable study in his home state of railroad problems. From him the correspondent secured the story which resulted in the "scoop." WANTED TO SEE CREDENTIALS Restaurant Man Had His Own Ideas of Modern Statesmen. It has been more than a year now since members of congress have ridden on railroad passes and the states men have had time to miss them greatly not only on account of the saving but because the bits of pasteboard furished ready identification when needed. Senator Beveridge, who never accepted favors from the railroads, tells a story that illustrates the point. One day prior to the passage of the rate bill he was traveling on a small railroad in Indiana and stopped at a railroad lunch counter and got a hurried bite. His check was 40 cents. He searched his pockets and could find no change. He tendered a big bill, which the lunch counter man could not change. He wanted to send the money, but he was not known. He volunteered the information that he was Senator Beveridge, but the man smiled skeptically, and said he had known other men who said they were United States senators and who had tried to play the "big bill" game. "If you are a senator show me your railroad passes," he said. "But I never ride on passes," replied Beveridge. "Then you ain't no senator," declared the lunch counter man with finality. If the conductor had not come to his rescue the senator would have been left behind. Need Miles of Carpet. The house of representatives is a pretty expensive problem when it comes to carpeting. It is a series of semicircular platforms about four feet in width. Try to figure out an easy, inexpensive way of carpeting these terraces. If you succeed you will be welcomed with enthusiasm by the chief clerk. It is the chief clerk, by the way, who provides the soap, towels, brooms rugs, in fact all the new things which the foreman has to keep in repair. When the chairman of a committee falls off his chair, as one did the other day, breaks the caster, smashes the frame and shivers a plate glass fire screen, it is probable that the clerk and the foreman have to patch it up between them. Conveniences in the Capitol The capitol at Washington contains book stores, drug stores, barber shops, restaurants, baths, hardware store, post offices, machine shop, carpenter shop, banks, libraries, black smith shop, boiler rooms, police station, telephone, telegraph and messenger service, plumbers and electricians, storerooms, repair shops, stenographers, physicians, preachers and even a bier upon which one's coffin might lie in state. This sounds rather comprehensive, but *it* is actually true. THE APPEA VOTE FOR [Portrait of a man in formal attire, facing the camera. The background is a dark, solid color. No text or additional details are present.]] LUIS G. HOFFMANN Republican Candidate for Nomination for Mayor of St. Paul TOO LATE By L. G. M. B. "So you won't marry me?" "I do think it's a sin, Jack, for you to insist, when you know this is my first season, and I have looked forward to at least two years more of freedom." "Very well, Dorothy, I won't say another word. I trust your seasons will be bright, and I will endeavor to do my best to make them so." "Oh, Jack, you are a dear! We'll not be sweetheartes for some time; we'll pretend we're only chums." Dorothy Madden was considered the prettiest girl in the state, tall and slender, with laughing eyes, aburn curls and a chin and mouth that were the envy of all the girls around. Col. Madden had at one time been prominent in politics, but after losing his wife, his health had failed and little by little his immense fortune had disappeared. It was quite a blow to the family when they found they had only their home and a few thousands left. Jack Churchill was the heir of his uncle, Robert Vaughn, the Michigan millionaire, and was much sought after. Two gay seasons had passed. Jack did everything to make Dorothy have a pleasant time. The many late evening dances, etc., began to show on Dorothy; she was thinner, her eyes failed to have the brilliance that at one time made them so beautiful. And Jack had never in the entire two years mentioned marriage to her. Col. Madden, seeing the change in his daughter, and knowing that Jack had not been to him to ask for Dorothy, supposed she was grieving. Calling his daughter to him one morning, he said: "Dorothy does Jack seem to be as attentive as ever, or have you lost your heart to another, and refused the boy? You know, my dear, how we're situated. Margaret is old enough to come out. You were a year her senior when you made your debut, and it isn't doing her justice. You must make up your mind to marry and give your sister an opportunity. I cannot keep two daughters in society." "Father," said Dorothy, "two years ago Jack asked me to marry him; I begged him to walt; I hated to settle down; since then he has never men- tioned it, but I will try to look my prettiest to-night and see what I can do." While Dorothy and her father were talking in the library, Margaret was in the summer house—but not alone! "Sweetheart, though you haven't made your formal debut, you can marry me and we'll tour the continent and you'll have just as nice a time as any of the debutantes." It was Jack who was pleading, and the girl he wanted this time was not Dorothy, but her younger sister. "Well, Jack, dear," said Margaret, "guess you're right. Dad hasn't the money to keep us both in society, and Dorothy won't marry. Come, we'll go to the house and tell them the news." There was quite a contrast between the sisters; Dorothy, tall and fair, Margaret, petite and dark, with large gray eyes and the beautiful Madden mouth. Dorothy had just finished her talk with her father, when the door suddenly opened and Jack and Margaret, hand in hand, stood in the doorway. "Father, Col. Madden," called both of them, "we've come to tell you," "we're going to be married." Col. Madden tried to hide his surprise, for he had thought it was Dorothy, not his little Margaret, whom Jack wanted. "Margaret," said her father, "you couldn't have looked the world over and have pleased me better, Jack," he continued, "you can have her, but remember, she is nothing but a child." Dorothy in the meanwhile was trying to control her feelings, it seemed as if her heart would break, for she loved Jack dearly. "We're to be married on my birthday," said Margaret, "which is two months from to-day." "I am glad you have appointed an early date," said Dorothy, "for my advice to you is not to be foolish, like I was, and wait until it is—too late." Never Burnt Before. "Will you direct me to Farmer Skinner's house?" asked the newly arrived summer boarder. "I will ef you want me to," replied the station lounger. "I shall have to ask you for explicit directions because I've never been there before." "Gosh! I know that, seein' ye're so sot on goin' there now."—The Catholic Standard and Times.

A small boy who lives in an important railway center had been accustomed to visiting the station and making friends with the railway servants. He persuaded his aunt to play train with him the other day. He arranged the chairs in a line and then said: "You be engineer and I'll be the guard. Lend my watch and get up on to the engine." He then hurried down the platform, watch in hand. "Pull out you red-headed, pie-fac) owl" he shouted at the astonished young woman. "Why, Willie!" she exclaimed in amazement. "That's right, chew the rag," he retorted. "Pull out. We are five minutes late already." That boy is not allowed to fraternize with railway men any more. There is something wrong with a woman who isn't jealous of somebody or something.

Beebe Will Accompany Her Husband in Studying the Little Known Regions of British Guiana. For the purpose of studying at close range the practically unknown bird and animal life which exists in the dense forests of tropical South America. C. William Beebe, curator of birds in the Bronx Zoological Gardens, New York, and his wife, who is also a naturalist and who has accompanied her husband on previous excursions into little known lands, have started on a new expedition which it is expected will result in most important contributions to existing scientific knowledge. The thick jungle in the forest of British Guiana, which comparatively few white men have penetrated, will be the objective of the two travelers. To reach this Mr. and Mrs. Beebe will be obliged to ascend for a considerable distance the Essequibo river, one of the largest and at the same time one of the least known of the large rivers of Northern South America. Guiana was such, the forests approaching close to the settlements along the coast, he added, that he believed I would be able to find almost if not quite as great a variety of bird and animal life a few hundred miles up the river as would be found nearer the Essequibo's source. "Our object in making this trip in the South American forest," said Mr. Beebe, "will be to study the birds and animals in their living state in the native environment. We may bring home a few live birds, but that will merely incidental to our main purpose which will be to study the habits of the living things we shall find in the wonderful tropical country. "Collecting has been done to death but comparatively little progress has been made toward studying the life and habits of the birds and other remarkable living things which exist in this part of South America. With the exception of one Englishman, who went up the river in 1840, shooting right and left and collecting the skins of the strange animals he met with there, no scientist has ever really explored the Esquebec, and its upper branches particularly, which teem with wonderful tropical life of all kinds, are virtually unknown. It is to learn something of these marvels of nature, as exemplified in the life of the birds, animals, and reptiles of these dense South American forest sections, that Mr. and Mrs. Beebe are about to undertake their journey. Taking passage aboard the steamship Korona, of the Quebec line, they will go directly to Georgetown, the principal city of British Guiana, where they will secure the permission of the governor to go into the interior. Their next step will be to engage a negro cook and four South American Indian guides familiar with the Esquebec jungle. These Indians are numerous in British Guiana and, although most of them are in more or less of a wild state, and use poisoned arrows, they are perfectly friendly to white men and make very acceptable guides. The ascent of the Essequibo will be made by the two naturalists and explored in a sort of canoe-like house or tent boat. This they have already practically engaged. It will be about five feet wide and from twenty to twenty-five feet in length. At night Mr. and Mrs. Beebe will sleep aboard this narrow craft, while their cook and the Indians will make themselves comfortable ashore in hammocks, swung from the trees. The little expedition will also be equipped with a small canoe for paddling up into creeks and other small streams. It is Mr. Beebe's intention to spend P. M. K. K. MRS. CHARLES WILLIAM BEEFE. about a month in the Essequibo country. He has not yet formed any definite plan as to just how far up the little known river he and his wife will venture, but will be governed, he says, entirely by circumstances as he finds them when the actual journey into the interior is begun. "If we find a place suitable for making our observations and study within a comparatively short distance of the coast," said he, "we may stop there and spend practically our whole time in that vicinity. Again, we may go a considerable way up the Essequibo." Both because of the lack of time and because of the fact that there are many dangerous rapids in the upper river which would necessitate their carrying their boats around them, Mr. Beebe said he hoped to find a locality adapted to his purpose further down stream. The character of British The Chinese people are great users of candles, or, rather, what used to be known in America as "tallow dips." These are an inferior quality of candles which are locally manufactured, with a wick consisting of a straw soaked in some inflammable material, the straw projecting from the lower end of the candle for a distance of two or three inches. The actual candle is not more than four or five inches in length, though larger ones are made for use $2.40 PER YEAR. WILD COUNTRY Company Her Husband in Studying ns of British Guiana.

"Collecting has been done to death, but comparatively little progress has been made toward studying the life and habits of the birds and other remarkable living things which exist in this part of South America. "We shall try to get what light we can on such problems as those of why certain birds have certain colorings and why the toucans have big bills, all of which has been a question of evolution." Mr. Beebee declared he does not consider that he will be incurring anything worth speaking of in making his expedition. "If there was any danger, I wouldn't be very likely to take my wife with me," said he. The two naturalists probably will return to New York in about two months. THE ART OF GARGLING Not the Same Thing as the Process Usually Followed. The proper method of gargling is thus described by a writer in the Medical Record: "The patient (at first under the guidance of the physician) should sit well back in a chair, take a swallow of water in the mouth and bend the head as far back as possible. "Now he must protrude the tongue from the mouth (the tip of the tongue may be grasped with a handderchief) and in, this posture with protruding tongue he must try to swallow the water. The physician should control the patient's vain efforts—for it is impossible to swallow under such conditions. "The patient has the sensation as if he actually had swallowed the water. Now he must start to gargle, to exhale air slowly. One can see plainly the bubbling of the fluid in the wide open pharynx. "After gargling thus for awhile the patient is ordered to close the mouth and quickly throw head and body for THE WORLD'S FINEST ACTRESS ward. Thereby all the fluid is forced through the choanoe and nostrils, washing the throat and nose from behind and expelling, all the accumulations that had been present, with great force. "This should be repeated several times, as the first trial is not always successful and satisfactory. It is an act that must be learned. "When properly executed the sensation, as the patient will assure you, is that of great relief not had by any other method. It will be wise for the practitioner to try the method first on himself. Even small children who are at all clever learn the method readily and rather enjoy it. "The method is not by and means a new one, but as it seems, quite forgotten. Some thirty years ago Prof. Hagen of Leipzig taught it to his students. It is well worth reviving." on sacrificial altars, in large lanterns, etc. The candles are of a peculiar Chinese shape, about five-eighths of an inch at the top, tapering to less than half an inch at the bottom, from which the straw wick projects. The hole in the straw gives an opportunity to stick these on a small wire spike which projects from the center of all Chinese candlesticks, and which holds the candle in an upright position.—Consular Reports.

A small boy who lives in an important railway center had been accustomed to visiting the station and making friends with the railway servants. He persuaded his aunt to play train with him the other day. He arranged the chairs in a line and then said: "You be engineer and I'll be the guard. Lend me your watch and get up on to the engine." He then hurried down the platform, watch in hand. "Pull out you red-headed, pie-fac! owl," he shouted at the astonished young woman. "Why, Willie!" she exclaimed in amazement. "That's right, chew the rag," he retorted. "Pull out. We are five minutes late already." That boy is not allowed to fraternize with railway men any more. There is something wrong with a woman who isn't jealous of somebody or something. THE APPEAL STEADILY GAINS BECAUSE: 4-It is the organ of ALL Afro-Americans. 5-It is not controlled by any ring or clique. 6-It asks no support but the people's. SHE WILL VISIT WILD COUNTRY Mrs. C. W. Beebe Will Accompany Her Husband in Studying the Little Known Regions of British Guiana. For the purpose of studying at close range the practically unknown bird and animal life which exists in the dense forests of tropical South America, C. William Beebe, curator of birds in the Bronx Zoological Gardens, New York, and his wife, who is also a naturalist and who has accompanied her husband on previous excursions into little known lands, have started on a new expedition which it is expected will result in most important contributions to existing scientific knowledge. Guiana was such, the forests approaching close to the settlements along the coast, he added, that he believed would be able to find almost if not quite as great a variety of bird and an animal life a few hundred miles up the river as would be found nearer the Essequibo's source. "Our object in making this trip in the South American forest," said M. Beebe, "will be to study the birds and animals in their living state in the native environment. We may bring home a few live birds, but that will The thick jungle in the forest of British Guiana, which comparatively few white men have penetrated, will be the objective of the two travelers. To reach this Mr. and Mrs. Beebe will be obliged to ascend for a considerable distance the Essequibo river, one of the largest and at the same time one of the least known of the large rivers of Northern South America. With the exception of one Englishman, who went up the river in 1840, shooting right and left and collecting the skins of the strange animals he met with there, no scientist has ever really explored the Essequibo, and its upper branches particularly, which teem with wonderful tropical life of all kinds, are virtually unknown. It is to learn something of these marvels of nature, as exemplified in the life of the birds, animals, and reptiles of these dense South American forest sections, that Mr. and Mrs. Beebe are about to undertake their journey. Taking passage aboard the steamship Korona, of the Quebec line, they will go directly to Georgetown, the principal city of British Guana, where they will secure the permission of the governor to go into the interior. Their next step will be to engage a negro cook and four South American Indian guides familiar with the Essequibo jungle. These Indians are numerous in British Guana and, although most of them are in more or less of a wild state, and use poisoned arrows, they are perfectly friendly to white men and make very acceptable guides. The ascent of the Essequibo will be made by the two naturalists and explored in a sort of canoe-like house or tent boat. This they have already practically engaged. It will be about five feet wide and from twenty to twenty-five feet in length. At night Mr. and Mrs. Beeber will sleep aboard this narrow craft, while their cook and the Indians will make themselves comfortable ashore in hammocks-swung from the trees. The little expedition will also be equipped with a small canoe for paddling up into creeks and other small streams. It is Mr. Beeber's intention to spend Rolling BETTY MRS. CHARLES WILLIAM BEEBE. about a month in the Essequibo country. He has not yet formed any definite plan as to just how far up the little known river he and his wife will venture, but will be governed, he says, entirely by circumstances as he finds them when the actual journey into the interior is begun. "If we find a place suitable for making our observations and study within a comparatively short distance of the coast," said he, "we may stop there and spend practically our whole time in that vicinity. Again, we may go a considerable way up the Essequibo." Both because of the lack of time and because of the fact that there are many dangerous rapids in the upper river which would necessitate their carrying their boats around them, Mr. Beebe said he hoped to find a locality adapted to his purpose further down stream. The character of British The Chinese people are great users of candles, or, rather, what used to be known in America as "tallow dips." These are an inferior quality of candles which are locally manufactured, with a wick consisting of a straw soaked in some inflammable material, the straw projecting from the lower end of the candle for a distance of two or three Inches.

Guiana was such, the forests approaching close to the settlements along the coast, he added, that he believed he would be able to find almost, if not quite as great a variety of bird and animal life a few hundred miles up the river as would be found nearer the Essenbuho's source. "Our object in making this trip into the South American forest," said Mr. Beebe, "will be to study the birds and animals in their living state in their native environment. We may bring home a few live birds, but that will be merely incidental to our main purpose, which will be to study the habits of the living things we shall find in this wonderful tropical country. "Collecting has been done to death, but comparatively little progress has been made toward studying the life and habits of the birds and other remarkable living things which exist in this part of South America. "We shall try to get what light we can on such problems as those of why certain birds have certain colorings and why the toucans have big bills, all of which has been a question of evolution." Mr. Beebe declared he does not consider that he will be incurring anything worth speaking of in making his expedition. "If there was any danger, I wouldn't be very likely to take my wife with me," said he. The two naturalists probably will return to New York in about two months. THE ART OF GARGLING. Not the Same Thing as the Process Usually Followed. The proper method of gargling is thus described by a writer in the Medical Record: "The patient (at first under the guidance of the physician) should sit well back in a chair, take a swallow of water in the mouth and bend the head as far back as possible. "Now he must protrude the tongue from the mouth (the tip of the tongue may be grasped with a handkerchief) and in this posture with protruding tongue he must try to swallow the water. The physician should control the patient's vain efforts—for it is impossible to swallow under such conditions. "The patient has the sensation as if he actually had swallowed the water. Now he must start to gargle, to exhale air slowly. One can see plainly the bubbling of the fluid in the wide open pharynx. "After gargling thus for awhile the patient is ordered to close the mouth and quickly throw head and body for A. ward. Thereby all the fluid is forced through the choanoe and nostrils, washing the throat and nose from behind and expelling all the accumulations that had been present, with great force. "This should be repeated several times, as the first trial is not always successful and satisfactory. It is an act that must be learned. "When properly executed the sensation, as the patient will assure you, is that of great relief not had by any other method. It will be wise for the practitioner to try the method first on himself. Even small children who are at all clever learn the method readily and rather enjoy it. "The method is not by and means a new one, but as it seems, quite forgotten. Some thirty years ago Prof. Hagen of Leipzig taught it to his students. It is well worth reviving." on sacrificial altars, in large lanterns, etc. The candles are of a peculiar Chinese shape, about five-eighths of an inch at the top, tapering to less than half an inch at the bottom, from which the straw wick projects. The hole in the straw gives an opportunity to stick these on a small wire spike which projects from the center of all Chinese candlesticks, and which holds the candle in an upright position.—Consular Reports. ‘ 4 i sn : i sree sil ae iid Defective Page 1 Sli hi i le ae —_-—___ — said a asco oS SS if sseYouRer> apie ne Apeeru ey Ra 3 aah A ee sh | & ME a LE EN anes) iN jee i Vas es Pe LSE THE APPEAL, AMATIONAL AFRO“AMERIGAN HEWSPAPEE 9 ADAMS BROS.

The people of Kentucky, like those of Portugal, Spain and Russia, are experiencing the truth of this ancient saying. Concerning the matter, the Arkansas Democrat thus discourses: “Some of the best people in the world live in Kentucky, but they are beset by conditions that have aroused the sympathy as well as the contempt of other states—sympathy for those who are not at fault for the condi tions, contempt far tliose who have been unable to bring about better conditions.” And, it may be added contempt for the cowardly newspapers that dare not tell the truth about the matter. A Louisville pastor last Sunday dis. cussed the shame of Kentucky, and said in part: “We see the black record of feud: in the Eastern section, culminating it the shocking tragedy of a clan leadei who would have fitted more naturally into the social conditions of the Stoné Age than the twentieth century, lai into his grave yesterday with hi body riddled with bullets fired out o his own pistol, stolen by his only sor apparently for the express purpose of killing his father.” But no one mentions the fact that these terrible conditions are the nec- essary and inevitable aftermath of the system of slavery. Slavery is in its* very essence, barbarism and sav- ayery—the sum of all villainies, and the germ of all social depravity. It may give rise to an arrogant and de- batched. aristocracy—filth wrapped ‘up in silk; that is its only merit. Referring to the Iynchings in Ken- tucky, the Courier-Journal says: “The local peace officers might a: well be non-existent, judged by: any- thing they have accomplished, 0: ‘seem to be trying to accomplish. “The citizens of the outraged com: munities, either from sympathy wit the law-breakers or from fear of ‘them, are hindering, rather than aid ing, any movement to assert the’ st premacy of the law.” ‘The peace-officers were highly ap platded when they acted thus in the cases of lynching Afro-Americans i Chattanooga and Atlanta and the eit Fizens, too, acted in just the sam ‘way, ‘They have learned the lesso and cannot forget it. CO | We copy the following from a Cau- casion daily newspaper published at the capital of the United States. It is the white’ man's idea of his own infamy. Your white man is the very prinec of pirates—land , pirates, From the day when he borrowed the compass, gunpowder, and the art of printing from the superior civilization of the orient, he set about to conquer the world with them. He used the com- pass for exploration, gunpowder for conquest, and superior average intel lectual development for assimilation He exterminated a race of red men in America; destroyed a race of blacks in Australia; subjugated the brown men of India; enslaved, de- ported, murdered, or conquered the blacks of Africa; overthrew _ the splendid ancient civilization of Peru and Mexico; spread himself, east of the Caucasus, over the north half of Asia until the Slavic empire reached the Pacifie; gathered in the islands of the sea, and placed all the continents under tribute to himself. The white pirate set his foot on China, and thither he brought opium to weaken and degrade the natives When they would reject it he made war on them in the name of Chris tianity, but in the cause of opium traders. It was not, indeed, till the and pirate of the West raised his heel to grind Japan out of existence that he stepped on a hot brick and concluded motto stay, THE BLACK HAND. “In New York the Italian commu. nity believes that the Black Hand is more than a mere name or cloak for sporadic outrages. There is be. lieved to be a real organization of desperate blackmailers under that ti tle} it is not improbable that the mur. der of an Italian wine merchant is justly charged to them, and they arc accused of a bomb outrage that was reported recently.” So says an exchange, and probably truly. Tt really is the most natural ‘thing in the world, that there should be stich an organization in New York and Chicago, and that the Night Ri ders should be burning warehouses in Kentucky, since the newspapers have for a quarter of a century been excusing, palliating and justifying lynching in the South, because the usmal vietims were Afro-Americans. The performance of such an infa- mous production as tomdixon's “The Clansman,” is x direct incentive to the formation of such associations as the Black Hand. And, moreover it has never been asserted that the Black Hand makes raids on pig pens and. chicken-coops as_tom’s heroes used to do. __ Readers of THE APPEAL will be deeply” interested, in learning that ‘Don Francesco Carlos Pio Jose Al- phonso Luis Fernando Allen Perkins Gurowsky Bourbon Lutharian Hos. sen Drichma Vrichina Ottendorf has set up a claim of being a natural cousin of King Alfons of Spain, and wants a share of the dope acum Jated by the old daddy of both of them.

Below them for indefinite miles stretched the anyon up which they had come, its only relief from snowy whiteness be- ing the darker copses of green where pine boyghs protruded. ‘The tall man stood questioningly for what seemed a long time, and then, as if his every nerve had weakened, he stumbled forward beseeching: | “Grub, for God's sake, grub! I have eaten nothing for the last two days.” ‘There was a pause, but no throb of ‘weakness in the volee that wearlly an- awered: “Nor I for three days.” It was like a blow to the tall man. He squatted on his heels, twisted bis fingers and moaned, while tears dripped unheeded down his bearded face, ‘Tom remained immovable and brooding. Here before him was the object of his years of search—the oth- er man and his revenge. ‘Through all those years he -had ‘thought that when this man was found the end would come without delay. He had pfetured to himself the savage Joy and satisfaction of the kill. God! How he wanted to kill! It was this starved and weakened ‘nd sobbing thing that in those far- away years had stepped in between him and his betrothed—the only wom- an who had commanded all his heart's homage—and with cunning lies, clever insinuations and heartless malign- ments had estranged her. Yes, worse than that, had taken her for his own and then instead of cherishiig her had made her life such a hell on earth that shg had been glad to pass from this into the portals of another world had been glad to rest—to sleep—to find the great quict, ‘And: never until she lay dying In his arms had he known all this. And never until then had he realized that life could hold as its sole object and ambition a desire to kill another man, ‘The few minutes that had slipped away since they met seemed ages. Suddenly the terrors of thelr position ‘smote upon them, and together they turned and faced that terrific and for- bidding wall that towered above them, plane of snow whose crusted sur- face glistened coldly repellent. "No other chance,” sald the stocky ‘one, mére to the mountainside than to his hearer. “No,” was admitted. “To go around any other way takes 20 days. That meaus—” He shrugged in hopeless- ness. ‘As if by common thought and singie impulse, they loosened their packs of blankets which must be abandoned and dropped them upon the snow, thelr smaller camp impedimenta jang- Ung as it fell. Eying each other to see whether the true was to be in full, they discarded thelr rifles. ‘They tightened their belts around their torn and worn garments. Their snow- shoes were unthonged and lashed fan- tastically across their backs. They ‘were ready. ‘And thus with but a pick and shovel they assaulted the mountain range, cutting foothold in its glassy face and climbing upward, like doggedly per- sistent insects, toward the ridges high above them. And so they reached the crest of the divide, a wind-swept ridge where little swirls of cutting, blinding, biting snow smote them in their faces and drove chill teeth into thelr starved bodies. ‘They rested, lying on their arms ‘and gathering strength for the tray. ersement of the ridge which stretched away before them like a narrow path ‘on the backbone of the world. Chilled with their respite they arose to thelr feet.antl staggeringly made their way along this pathway to shelter and food. The tall one took the lead.

PAUL, MINN. SAVES YOU MONEY." BAN HENDRICKS. In "Yon Yonson at the Grand Next Week. THE MUSICAL OF THE YEAR Ben Hendricks, who for so many years has been identified with Swede characters, and who in that particular style of comedy ranks with America's representative comedian, will be seen at the Grand for the next week, starting tomorrow matinee, in a grand production of that ever popular Swedish comedy drama, "Yon Yonson." Mr. Hendricks' true conception of the character, his perfect dialect, his natural impersonation of the good-natured big-hearted Swede, placed his characterization of "Yon" side by side with the "Rip Van Winkle" of Joseph Jefferson, the Uncle Joshua of Denman Thompson, the Nathaniel Berry of Jas, A. Herne, the Music Master of David Warfield. He has created a new character, which has been found to possess distinct characteristics, so original, so entirely different from the many other stage personalities which had become so familiar to play-goers that the opportunity to witness his perseverance of "von Vonson" is embraced with genuine pleasure. Ben Hendricks' career of ten years in this line of work has been a complete success and will be for many seasons to come. For Republican Convention, April 9th at Federation Hall.

This promises to be a great event both from a financial and social standpoint. Tickets are on sale by members of the club. The season ticket is 25c. single admission will be 10 cents. The services at the Temple are still growing in interest to all who attend and members are constantly joining. The church was substantially remembered in a financial way through their pastor by the Board of Bishops which met in Washington D.
