The Appeal

THE APPEAL KEEPS IN FRONT BECAUSE: 1-It aims to publish all the news possible. 2-It does so impartially, wasting no words. 8-It its correspondents are able and energetic. JEALOUS BARONESS KILLS HER HUSBAND THE MUSICIAN THE LADY OF THE MIDDLE AGE The above is a litterter unpublished photograph of the beautiful and popular Baroness von Ruexleben, who recently electrified the whole of Germany by shooting her husband. The tragedy took place at Buldenburg. But the Kaiser Spends More Time Than He Does in Dressing. Even Theodore the much occupied is a person of leisure compared with Edward VII. The London correspondent of Town and Country reports the contents of a note from one of the King's eminences stating that "his wife is the most important him in the disposal of a single hour before September." And the note was written early in June. According to the correspondent King Edwin puts in more time at real work than the Emperor of Germany does, for fully a quarter of the Emperor's time is occupied in his dressing room. The King seldom changes his clothes more than three times a day, morning, afternoon and evening, whereas the Kaiser has become a veritable Fregoli in the manner of doming and dofing his cotumes. The first thing in the morning he is in the dressing room of a German jacket. A hard hour's riding brings him back to his bath, from which he comes adorned in a plain morning costume made for business purposes. An hour or two in the monotonous garb fully fits the Emperor PRINCE'S HU Another instance of the ineradicable romance of the house of Tuscany was seen in the marriage which was celebrated recently at the registry office of Nuremburg. The bridegroom was Prince Victor of Isenburg-Birstein, whose mother was the sister of the castle, Westphalia. The baroness, after a stormy scene with her husband late at night in her boudou, shot him dead with a revolver and then inflicted fatal wounds on herself. for something more elaborate, and if there is no reception on he appears in the undress uniform of the Guards. This carries him until luncheon time, after which there are some three hundred uniforms to select from, and as the Kaiser usually has two or three functions of some sort to perform he makes use of his vast wardrobe regularly and in proper rotation. It is in the evening that the Kaiser is less brilliant. He makes but a poor show in evening dress; in fact as a civilian he is not a success. His frock coats, according to the discerning editor of the Tailor and Cutter, a sartorial expert, hang loosely and in a most undistinguished manner, and his evening dress waistcoats are things only to be worn by German rentiers and French mayors. He only one fortress during all these years that King Edward has not been able to capture, and that the stern determination of public opinion to resist with all its might the encroachment of the tall white hat.

THE APPEAL. Fishing for Dead Ships With Gun Cotton for Bait Fishing for Dead Ships With Gun Cotton for Bait How It Feels to go to Sea in a Revenue Cutter Hunting for Dereclicts, With 180 Pounds of Gun Cotton in Your Berth. How would you like to go fishing for dead ships with half a ton of gun-cotton for bait? Do you think you would sleep well if you knew that one hundred and eighty pounds of this powerful explosive were packed in the berth over your head, and as much more in the berth next to yours? No doubt it might disturb your nerves at first, but after a time you would become accustomed to the litter the wooden boxes tucked away in every corner of the ship; you would get used to seeing the men toss them about like so much laundry soap, and you would forget that you were afraid a cargo of explosives sufficient to destroy in one second of time half the battle ships in the United States navy. "Just as safe and simple as balting a hook with dead angleworms," says the bluff old gunner, as you sit smoking on the quarterdeck. Surely he ought to know. At any rate, you must take his word for it, and very soon you find yourself looking out over the ocean, watching for floating spars, quite as eager as any member of the crew to "pick up a good catch." Half a score of Uncle Sam's fleet revenue cutters are engaged in this new business of fishing for derelicts. They are crashing about looking grim old hulks which wallow n the pathway of transatlantic and coastwse ships. Olesen views it what keen interest for he knows that his skill will soon rend into a thousand pieces. Olesen becomes the commander of the ship. First the sail boat is lowered, and with the gunnin in command a dozen sailors are seen away to the derelict. They now slowly around it, taking sounding on all sides until Oleson finds how the hull lays and just where he want to lower the mines. Maybe one min will do the work, and it may require three or four, but the gunner determines all that as accurately as if the wreck were in plain view and he could measure it with a chalk line. Having made the soundings the boat returns to the ship and the mine are prepared. The wet gun cotton a brought up from the hold and the dug guncotton is fetched from the cabin Salorns are stationed about it on the bluff old gunner, which produces the corp cases in which the explosive is be bunk. They look like square or cans. Just thirty pounds of gun cotton may be placed in each—twenty five pounds of wet and five pounds of dry. The cakes are laid in careful and then, with the aid of a small rerail ball to make the receptacle water tight, the detonator is placed and the metal top screwed down. Imagine yourself on the quarter deck of the revenue cutter Mohawk as she steams quietly away from her anchorage at Tompkinsville on a derelict hunting cruise. The officers and crew are all young men. First Lieut. B. L. Brockway, a clean cut young Southern, is in command, with Second Lieut. R. R. Waesche ranking second. The chief engineer is J. J. Bryan, with rank of second lieutenant. He is a veteran of several Arctic expeditions, and can tell you interesting stories of every ocean where ships have found their way. Besides these are four cadets and a crew of fifty-five sailors. But most interesting of all is Ole Olesen, the chief gunner. His position is the most important of all, for it is the gunner of the gun crew. places the mines and perforators in tuckish functions connected with the perilous work. He is red haired, blue eyed and a man of few words until explosives are mentioned, and then he talks to you about his cargo with a vividness of detail and description that makes you wish you were anywhere else in the world but on the Mohawk. As you move about the ship you get the feeling that a mine ready to be set off is concealed in every corner. In your cabin you find a half dozen boxes securely lashed to the top of a dressing table. In each of these boxes is a glaze jar containing thirty pounds of glue. In the bedhover over your head is as much glue as the ceiling swings a box that looks like a can of peas or peaches. In that are a dozen detonators, vicious little metal fire crackers that are used to explode the mines. They are really the ony dangerous part of the cargo, and that is why they are left suspended so that there is no danger of explosion from sudden shock. You get the feeling that you are not likely to enjoy a night's good sleep with such bed fellows, and you call sheen from the comfortable seat on the bed. You move the cover from one of the box er and begins to play toss and catch with cakes of gun cotton. It looks like white ice cream. "You could throw that stuff into the fire, or pound it with a sledge hammer," the gunner tells you, "and it would do no harm. What you see here is the dry gun cotton. There are two kinds, dry and wet, and the wet we keep below decks. The stuff is harmless until you get it together, and then you have to have a detonator and an electric spark before anything happens. We keep the dry gun cotton stowed around above because these ships weren't designed for detergents and there isn't any good place for it below. The room is pretty well filled in the hold with powder, dynamite and ammunition for the guns." With this assistance you fall asleep, to be wakened, at dawn perhaps, by the general outcry that a wreck has been sighted. Then the fun begins, for playing with gun cotton mines is nothing but fun for these revenue cutter sailors. The wreck may manifest itself merely by a spar projecting a few feet above the surface or it may result in the bow or the stern of a great hulk rising and falling with the swell. It may be floating or it may be resting on the bottom, but no matter what its position No Disappointment Here. A man who had been convicted of stealing was brought before a certain "down east" judge, well known for his under-heartedness, to be sentenced. "Have you ever been sentenced to imprisonment?" asked the judge, not unkind. "Never!" exclaimed the prisoner, suddenly bursting into tears. "Well, well, don't cry, my man, you're not consolingly, 'you're going to be in trouble.'" REVENUE CUTTER MOHAWK, EM PLOYED IN DESTROYING DE- RELICS. Olesen views it wilt keen interest, for he knows that his skill will soon read it into a thousand pieces. Olesen becomes practically the commander of the ship. First the surf boat is lowered, and with the gunner in command a dozen sailors are sent away to the derelict. They move slowly around it, taking soundings on all sides until Oleson finds how the hulk lays and just where he wants the mines. Maybe one mine will do the job, but they may require three or four, but the gunner mines all that as accurately as if the wreck were in plain view and he could measure it with a chalk line. Having made the soundings the boat returns to the ship and the mines are prepared. The wet gun cotton is brought up from the hold and the dry guncotton is fetched from the cabins. Sailors are stationed about it on the deck. Then Oleson produces the copper cases in which the explosive is to be sunk. They look like square oil cans. Just thirty pounds of gun cotton may be placed in each—twenty dry. The cakes are laid in carefully and then, with the aid of a small rubber ball to make the receptacle watertight, the detonator is placed and the metal top screwed down. BLOWING UP A DERELICT TEN MILES OFF BARNEGAT LIGHT HOUSE. From another part of the ship a huge coil of copper cable is rolled out. That is to carry the electric spark from the small battery to the mine. "Ready now with the boat," bellows the gunner, "and keep that battery away from the cable!" The mines are then taken into the boat, and once more Oleson goes around the derelict. "DOWN here," he says to the sailors, and slowly the mine is lowered until it rests on solid foundation. The boat moves back to the mine, and then it is far enough to be out of reach of failing wreckage. The Mohawk moves still farther away to get out of any possible danger from wreckage or shock. Oleson then takes charge of the battery, connects it with the cable and signals to the bridge that everything is ready. For just an instant every man on the ship and in the boat holds his breath. All eyes are focused on the wreck. Olesen bends over the little rock, the button, shouts. "Here she goes!" You are expecting a terrific report, but is does not come. The deck of the ship seems to lift slightly under your feet. You have a swaying sen- REVENUE CUTTER MOHAWK, EM RELIO Experienced Enough.

Before He Was Known. "They say your brother used to have great luck as a fisherman." "Yes, he did. Nearly everybody used to believe him." sation for an instant, and you hear a muffled roar that seems to come up from the sea everywhere. Then a mighty geyser mounts into the air. Fifty, seventy-five, perhaps a hundred or two feet, a massive fountain of wreckage and water leaps upward and falls back with tremendous force. Again the ship trembles slightly and you can see the men rocking violently in the surf boat. When the foam subsides the water is strewn with wreckage. Five minutes after that hundreds and thousands of dead fish float upon the surface. For half a mile in all directions you see them coming up. If the wreck is near shore fishermen come with their boats and carry away dead fish by the ton. But Olesen's work is not yet finished. Again he takes soundings, and if the hulk is not sufficiently broken up down goes another thirty pounds of gun cotton. "What was that ship?" you ask. Olesen shakes his head. "The good Lord only knows," he answers. "Did she have a cargo?" "Probably," says the gunner. "It might have been coal, it might have been silk, and there might have been a cabin full of dead humans down there. You can't tell, and there's no use fussing about those things after a ship goes under. But her up so she won't send any more ships to the bottom. That's the best we can do, and that's good enough." Olesen gathers his dangerous fishing tackle together, the sailors lift anchor and the cutter again lays her course for Campinkville. But the search for ocean vagrants is not ended. It never ends. Night and day the sailors are on the lookout because a reward is given to each man who first sights a wreck. The reward is one day's shore leave, and that means a lot to the sailorman on a gun cotton ship. GASOLINE STAGE ROUTE. Scenes Along the Way of an Auto Mail and Passenger Lines in the Southeast We bid good-bye to Gabe and Smyrel and are off again, the camp cow regarding us ruminatively for a moment and the colli vigorously barking a sendoff for some distance down the road. Smaller and smaller grow the tents in retrospect until they shrink to a mere spesk against the sky, which finally dissolves into the infinitude of space. "Redsand Draw" and "Mall Box Flat" are passed, the engine workmen and the summit of the "Big Divide" is half gained when our chauffeur brings the car to a sudden stop, exclaiming, "Coyote!" A short distance away the "long, lean, lank, and sorry looking skeleton" stands regarding us and, too late remembering important business elsewhere, his career is brought to a tragic end by Conkey's rife and he is ingloriously scaled, for there is a bounty on his head. The crest of the divide reopens the broad vista of country, and as the descent is begun Conkey remarks casually, as if he were in town and the accenture approach along the street, "Here comes Charlie! At this juncture, however, 'Charlie' can be described only as an infinitimal patch upon the snaky trail in the far distance. Twice or thrice he is lost behind the intervening hills, and finally pulls up alongside with a carge of mail and Mexican sheep shearers in the "Yellow Kid," a monster car of the mail route company's own construction. We get word that "Old Huldy" is somewhere on the road with a load of baggage for Torrance and provisions and "gas" for camp; accordingly we pull out with the prospect of another meeting en route. The route of a long descent the approach to the Macho bridge fills the timid passenger with apprehension. The slender, precarious looking truss affair with its narrow wheel tracks seems little calculated to keep the car from a plumage into the dry gorge which yawns menacingly below. **Pleasant Prospect of Filling It.** Missionary—What is that 'six-foot box?

They are Charles Martinsson, sixty-two years old, a lumber manufacturer with extensive interests in the South; James L. White, sixty years old, a stock broker, who is said to have made $100,000 in the market recently, and Henry Cole, thirty years old. They were released in $500 bond each, furnished by Oscar J.

Mr. Colliday later gave a statement which alleged that Bliss had attempted to break up the home of Mr. Marthinson through the use of hypnotism.

It is the custom of the juniors to make their sister class, the freshmen, feel at home in the college world, and the class of 1909 accordingly selected SMUGGLING IN THE PHILIPPINES. Smugglings in the Phillipine Islands is assuming proportions that make it a menace to insular revenues. It will surprise the orderly and law abiding to know that only a few days ago a casco of khaki, smuggled into the country by way of the east coast of Luzon, was shot down Laguna de la Laguna and the Pasig for distribution in Manila, yet such is the fact. The cloth was dropped on the east coast somewhere near Baler, lugged across the mountains to a secluded inlet on the lake and boldly brought into Manila. Sleuths of the Government got track of it before it was landed, but there was no way to stop it. There is smugglung too in the north country, but its greatest home is in the Sulu archipelago, with Borneo in its base.

Mrs. Marthinson says she became frightened at what she believed to be the possibilities of Mr. Bliss' spell being cast upon her by Mr. Bliss to her husband and asked him to help her out of her dilemma. Mr. Marthinson called in consultation his friends, Messia. White and Cole, with the result that an appointment with Mr. Bliss was made by Mrs. Marthinson. When Mr. Bliss arrived at the Marthinson home he was asked to enter, and in a dark hallway, he was set up and his clothing was quickly taken from him. When Mr. Bliss was then given the coat of her buggy he was beaten. He was given back his clothes. CAPERS AT BARNARD DONC LEADER, JESEPHINE ROAIL.

Suppression of the use of opium in the Philippines has made the drug the great prize of smuggling. It has gone to a fabulous price in Manila, Iloilo, Cebu and other cities and there are riches for the fellow who can run it across the Sulu sea.

The republican platform, adopted at Chicago, explicitly demands jus- tice for all men without regard to race or color, and just as ex- plicitly declares for the enforce- ment, and without reservation, in letter and spirit of the thitteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amend- ments to the Constitution. It is needless to state that | stand with my party squarely on that plank in the platform, and believe that equal justice to ‘all men and the fair and impartial enforce- ment of these amendments are in keeping with the real Amerl- can. soirit. of fair play.—Hon.

CULLOM “Fy Who Has Opened” Headquarters In Chicago to Arouse State Workers’ En- thusiasm—Seeks to Efface Primary Hostility. Every day in his apartment at the Grand Pacific the senator is busy conferring with local republican leaders from various parts of the state and in writing letters to other leaders who are friends of long standing. It is said by the Chicago leaders that the senator is doing much to efface the hostility between the Deneen and Yates factions which survived the primary. The senator also is giving advice on policies to the republican state campaign committee, “ a a eel es “TO HIT THE NEGRO” —, his brain is not so inflamed as it A prominent Georgia gentleman re-| USed to be. ‘Therefore, the Negro is cently remarked: “We did not vote |® Petter workman and citizen. : Of course, the foregoing is a can- for prohibition to keep the Southern | aiq admission as to the amount of gentleman from indulging in whatever | moral principle involved in the Geor- he elected to imbibe.” said Mr. Smith-| gia prohibition movement.

So engrossed was the audience In the old issues that it was a bold speaker who had the temerity to introduce topics of the day into the addresses delivered before it. This feat. was accomplished successtully, how. ever, by Congressman Frank O. Lowden, who praised Gov. Deneen’s use of the “iron hand” in quelling the race riots in Springfield. The mention of Gov. Deneen’s name in this connection was sufficient to call forth sucn enthusiastic applause as to leave no doubt as to the attitude of those who heard the remarks. “In every civilized government there must be something which is abso- lutely supreme,” sald Mr Lowden. “In & despotiom It igethe Will oF Ake monarch.

A very capable cast of favorites has been selected, who appear in the first part entitled "The Queen of the Moon," and also the afterpiece "A Night in the Cafe Chantant," both of which are tuneful, laugh-provoking skirts.

"THE VOLUNTEER ORGANIST." Which Will Be Seen at the Grand Next-Wesk. Beginning next, Sunday matinee, Sept. 20th, the Grand offers William B. Gray's great success, "The Volunteer, Organist." It is remarkable the ever increasing popularity that this beautiful sentimental play enjoys. Without a deepyed villian, a murder, an old will, a persecuted heroine or any of the aged perquisites of the ordinary drama, but in place thereof, true honest comedy, exceptional pathos and an appeal to the intellect that stirs within us all that is good and noble. It's characters drawn true to life, a delightful love story running throughout that rouses even the most cynical. The story of the play is laid mid the hills of Vermont and as it is unfolded the warm-hearted and sympathetic New Englanders are shown in their true light. The cast comprises a notable aggregation of players. Master Willie Nelson and Willie Gould, two of the best boy sopranos in the world are with the company. "A Pleasant Surprise." A number of the members and well-wishers of the St. Phillip's church, called at the residence of Father Leated last Friday evening for the purpose of showing him their appreciation of the work being done. After the exchange of greeting with the family, Mr. Gamble, as chairman, in a neat speech, complimentary to the Father, and the company, and expressive of the good will of his friends told of the gift of which they were about to make, after which, 'Praise God from Whom all Blessings Flow' was sung by the company, and the petite figure of Mrs. James Vass was seen wending her way through the gathering and at the close of the anthem Father Leated was presented in case and to take a much needed meal. Father Leated responded with much feeling in his imitative manner. Later in the evening fitting remarks were made by Mrs. Allen French, Mr. G. Reese, of Waukesha, Wis., and, Mr. Arthur Brown, of Cleveland, Ohio. A menu of water melon completed a happy evening." The Ramsey County Afro-American Club, formerly located on Cedar street, is now located on the second floor of 115 E. Third street, with everything new but the name. The membership is growing daily, demonstrating the popularity of the club and the board of management. The appointments of the new club are far superior to those of the old club, and it is now a thing of beauty ad a joy forever. President Phelps and Secretary De Lyons are up-to-date in their methods and their management of the club leaves nothing wanting. HUMAN VIBRATIONS. Frenchman Who Thinks He Has Photographed the Emotions Dr. Baraduc of Paris has been lecturing, says the Health Record, at the Theosophical society's rooms in London on human vibration. He showed many photographs of these alleged vibrations by placing a sensitized film on one of the nerve centers. He usually places the film at night and leaves it till morning. The vibrations of the subject throw the nitrate of silver on the film into a corresponding form of vibration, which is found registered on the film when developed, just as the light reflected from an object through the lens of a camera registers the form of that object. Dr. Baraduc had also many pictures taken in the ordinary way by means of the camera. In these various statue of emotion are shown. Sudden anger appears as a sort of whirling shower of sparks and vapor. A state of high spiritual contemplation produces a misty globe of light some way above the sitter's head. In one picture the etheric double of a woman kneeling in prayer is shown. According to the doctor the etheric cosmic forces are continually streaming into us and becoming individualized, or streaming out, being disindividualized, mingling again with the general stream. One photograph showed the vibration of telegraphic communication—some had lines in ribbons of light, showing attachment. In one, taken as the doctor's wife passed away, the line or bond which had always appeared between them is seen for the first time broken. European Custom in Missouri European Custom in Missouri. Almost every railroad company operating in Missouri has within the last month adopted the European custom of requiring absolutely all passengers to be provided with tickets before boarding trains. In the interior of the state, where stations are small, gates are impossible, and it has been the almost universal practice for traveling men since the abolition of the concessions to ignore the station agent and instead pay their fare to the conductor or the train auditor. Now this right has vanished, and it is impossible to get on a train at the smallest station unless a prepaid ticket is held. This is done by posting brakemen and others of the train crew at the platform steps. These attendants have orders to allow no one to get on their cars unless a ticket has been shown. News comes from Ottawa to the effect that a large timber raft is now on its way down to Quebec, having arrived at the capital from Deschenes on Saturday afternoon. The raft was built on the Coulonge river. The raft method of transportation is fast becoming obsolete, and it is thought that this may be the last raft that will be seen. The raft is manned by eight men, with Noe Valiquette as head pilot. To get through any rapids it has been divided into separate crises, the crises going down individually. The value of the raft, which comprises about 150,000 feet, is estimated at from $80,000 to $100,000. A Spiritualistic Mesalliance A spiritualistic medium came to a house and claimed to be able to locate lost friends. The residents had sold an old horse years before and the old lady of the house wanted to know where he was. She began: "We had a very good friend who always did all our work. He passed from us several years ago and the last we heard of him was that he was in Los Angeles." The medium made a few mysterious motions, knocked on the table and then said: "Your friend is in Los Angeles and is married to a rich young woman." South African Agriculture If our colonial producers were alive to their own interests, they would refuse to be carried away by the specious arguments of the high tariffists. Rather would they assist in spreading the vital truth that better methods of distribution will be far more efficacious than increased protection in putting South African agriculture on a sound footing. Work for European Tailors. It seems not very improbable that the dress adopted by educated India, which is more or less of the Western type, will also be adopted by the people at large in the future. The fondness of the Orientals for gay colors may give rise to gorgeous neckties and gold-laced collars. country. The Romantic Movement of the last century had elements of the ridiculous in it, as had the pastoral shepherd craze of the previous one. But underneath each lay a genuine upwelling of natural feeling, and this is the motive power in the holiday movement of to-day. The Wise Proprietor: "Here, waiter," cried the guest in the cheap restaurant, "this food is simply vile and I don't propose to pay for it. Where's the proprietor?"
