The Appeal

THE APPEAL KEEPS IN FRONT BECAUSE: 1-It aims to publish all the news possible. 2-It does so impartially, wasting no words. 8- Its correspondents are able and energetic. VOL. 24, NO. 45. RETURN TO CAPITAL MANSIONS OF DIPLOMATS ARE FILLING UP. Official Society Rapidly Assuming a Picturesque Aspect—Nine Ambassadors Are Now Accredited to This Country. With the return each day of some member of the diplomatic corps official society in Washington is rapidly assuming its most picturesque aspect. While the first formal coming together of envoys in full regalia will not occur before the first of the year, there will be many minor occasions in the near future when an interchange of in society in Washington is rapidly assuming its most picturesque aspect. While the first formal coming together of envoys in full regalia will not occur before the first of the year, there will be many minor occasions in the near future when an interchange of international hospitalities will be in order. Ere long every embassy and legation will be in full swing. Secretaries are already busy with the secrets of diplomacy, and dapper attaches, with monocles and canes, are once again to be met in their accustomed groups, en promenade. Among the representatives of foreign powers in Washington nine rank as ambassadors, the last country to elevate her envoy to this distinction having been Japan, after her war with Russia. The dean of the diplomatic corps must be an ambassador and he enjoys this distinction because of the priority in the date of his appointment over that of other ambassadors to this country. The present dean of the diplomatic corps is the Italian ambassador, Baron Mayor des Planches, now entering upon his eighth year in Washington. Baron Hengelmuller von Hengervar, ambassador from Austria-Hungary, is the oldest diplomat in point of service, but was only raised to the rank of ambassador in 1902. Mr. Brun, minister from Denmark, has been in America since 1895. The distinction in diplomacy between an ambassador and a minister is best conveyed in the statement that a minister represents his government, while an ambassador represents "the person of his sovereign." In America the minister deals with the secretary of state and the state department, while the ambassador takes his question direct to the president, and has entree at all times to his presence. The vacancy at the German embassy caused by the recent death of Baron Sternberg, it may be authoritatively stated, will not be filled by the kaiser until after the first of the year. Baroness von Sternberg and her mother, Mrs. Langham, are now occupying the German embassy and are engaged in dismantling it of its art treasures. Baron von Sternberg was a collector of note, many of his most valuable porcelains and oriental broderies having been secured while he was stationed at Calcutta. There being no children, most of his collection, and the splendid furnishings of the embassy, will be returned to Sternberg castle. In Germany. In order to receive the pension which the German government allows the widows of diplomats, Baroness von Sternberg will find it necessary to make her home in that country. Woe in Store for Medical Expert. If you are riding on a certain suburban car line and the wind is just right, you can smell, as you pass a certain house, well back from the road, the fearfully mingled odors of citronella and sassafras and other mosquito chasers, says the Washington Star. An enthusiastic young scientist along medical lines, who works in one of the government laboratories, is responsible. Recently he received, he says, a box of yellow fever mosquitoes, all properly inoculated with the disease, from some plague-striken spot in South America, with which he had planned to make certain experiments for the good of humanity and the aggrandizement of self. Not to postpone the climax, he lost, or broke, or did something to the precious box out at the suburban boarding house, where he was spending the summer. Since then five families have moved back to town, and the other boarders, even the real brave ones, are living in mental terror and physical discomfort. The place is drenched with all the various smelly compounds that mosquitoes are supposed not to enjoy, and every time the buzz of one of the insects is heard three women faint and all the men of the premises swear violently. The bug man insists there's no danger and doesn't appear at all worried personally. Also he is heard to chuckle apoplectically whenever he thinks he's alone. If suspicion turns into certainty, there are three husky citizens who have entered into a solemn compact to beat him to death. Two Bachelor Ministers The two bachelor ministers in Washington are Dr. Leo Vogel, accredited from Switzerland, and Viscount de Alte, from Portugal. Dr. Vogel is a well-preserved cavalier of 50 and a charming member of society. He is popular in all circles, appears to enjoy life in our country—although he has passed the summer abroad—and is esteemed an excellent parti. Viscount de Alte, while very rich, acquiesces somewhat in the Spanish prejudice against American wives. Mixed Crowd Dwells In Apartment Houses of Washington. There is not a big apartment house in the city of Washington that could not be appropriately named "The Cosmopolitan," and the name would be full of meaning such as few names have in this era of haphazard nomenclature. The cosmopolitanism of a Washington apartment house is not as full-fledged as that of the boulevards of Paris or the erstwhile Midway Plaiance, but of its kind it is so well developed and prevalent that few people remark it. In any other town the fact that one's next-door neighbor on the right may be a Georgian and its next-door neighbor on the left may be a Callifornian would be accounted not extraordinary, but certainly not commonplace. Here such an arrangement of neighbors is more apt to be the rule than the exception, and no attention is paid to it. Therein the cosmopolitanism found here, and illustrated no more strikingly than in an apartment house, is of a genuine brand, for true cosmopolitanism is that which is not protuberant. Even in a small country village a stranger may appear from the most remote corner of the earth, but the whole town turns out to see him. Here such a stranger would attract little more than a passing glance. The true cosmopolitan is at home no matter how far away he is from home, and Washington apartment houses are filled with just that sort of cosmopolites. There are, it is true, some people in Washington apartment houses and some people in Washington (119,835 by the census of 1900) who were born there, but the number of thoroughly acclimated Washingtonians who can speak of some other place as home is astonishing to anybody but a census expert. "Back home" may be Oregon or Florida, Maine or Missouri—a place for which there is a longing, but a longing rarely intense enough to overcome the desire of people coming to Washington to stay as long as they can whether they be in the government service or not. ATTRACTS MEN OF WEALTH. Multi-Millionaires Constantly Making Homes at Washington. Fifteen Washington families were recently estimated to represent $1,000,000,000 of wealth. Perhaps the estimate was high, but it is certain that during a social season a diligent diner can meet in Washington more of the exponents of great accumulations than anywhere else in the world. In the first place, there is more democracy in Washington, and in the second place there is probably nowhere that more of this kind of "bonaanza society" shows itself. Only recently, for instance, a man went to Washington, bought a beautiful building site in the northwestern section of the city and proceeded to erect a palatial residence without taking advice or counsel of anybody. It presently became known that this man was none other than Henry C. Perkins, the South African multi-millionaire, argonaut of California and the Rand. Mr. Perkins is rated as one of the wealthiest men of the world. He is associated with the house of Rothschild and has great mining interests in Africa and the United States.—New York Herald. Set Aside for the President. The presidential apartments in the new Washington station occupy the eastern end of this marble masterpiece, extending the full width of the building. At the southeast corner of the building is the main entrance to the suite—an arched carriage portal of simple but imposing architecture. The character of the institution is indicated only by sculpture over the doorway representing the seal of the United States, surrounded by flags. If preferred entrance or egress may be had on the east front where several doors open from the apartments to a corridor or portico spacious enough to permit half a dozen carriages to be drawn up before it. The main entrance opens upon a vestibule, and this communicates with the main reception room, from which latter also open most of the doors on the east front. This reception room is an impressive, high-ceilinged apartment, almost as large as the historic east room at the White House, and very suggestive of that salon in its general dimensions. There is a mosaic floor and the fresco ornamentation and other decorations, which are very elaborate, present blue and gold as the predominating tints. Beveridge Was Easy. Senator Beveridge is telling the following story against himself. He was in a train bound for Cologne when he made the acquaintance of a stranger who proved to be a delightful companion. This stranger pitied the American for living in a country where really good Rhine wine was unobtainable and insisted on their drinking a bottle of Rudesheimer together. When they reached Cologne accordingly, they dined together and finished a bottle that deserved all the stranger's praise. Next morning the senator was surprised to find $10 charged on his bill for the wine. He explained that the stranger had been his host. The waiter informed him that the stranger had particularly warned the bookkeeper to charge the bill against his celebrated American friend, as otherwise the latter would be extremely angry. Meanwhile the stranger departed by an early train. THE APPEAL. [Portrait of a man in formal attire, with a mustache and a bow tie, set against a decorative frame with floral motifs. The name is not clearly visible.] WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT JUDGE TAFT WILL HAVE 309 VOTES JUDGE TAFT WILL HAVE 309 VOTES Late Returns Indicate Maryland and Probably Missouri Are in Taft Column. CONGRESS REMAINS UNCHANGED Republicans Will Have About Same Working Majority as at Present; Big Guns Fail. Late developments in the election situation surprised the political leaders of both big parties, and the result may be a vindication of the judgment of Chairman Hitchcock, who declared that Taft would receive 325 votes in the electoral college. He is practically assured of 309 votes and has a fighting chance for Missouri's eighteen votes, which would give him a total of two more than Mr. Hitchcock claimed. Conceding Maryland to Taft and figuring Missouri as the one still doubtful state, Bryan has 156 WILLIAM PRESIDENT members of the electoral college assured him. Indiana and West Virginia, as well as Montana, turned out to be safely Republican. Colorado went for Bryan. The states carried by Mr. Bryan are as follows: Alabama, 11; Arkansas, 5; Colorado, 5; Florida, 5; Georgia, 13; Kentucky, 15; Louisiana, 9; Mississippi, 10; Nevada, 3; Nebraska, 8; North Carolina, 12; Oklahoma, 7; South Carolina, 9; Tennessee, 12; Texas, 18, and Virginia, 12. Total, 156. All the rest are safe for Taft, with the exception of Maryland and Missouri, where the issue is so close that an official count may be necessary to determine the result. The latest returns indicate that in the national house of representatives the Republicans will have 211 members and the Democrats 169, with 11 districts missing. The senate retains its Republican complexion, although there will be a material change in the personnel of the upper body of the national legislature. Judge Taft's plurality in the state of New York, according to corrected returns, is 203,495. more than 28,000 in excess of President Roosevelt's plurality of four years ago. Gov. Charles E. Hughes was re-elected in New York state by 71,150. MISSOURI. Bryan Has Slight Lead Over Taft on Latest Returns. Returns from every county in the state give Bryan a lead over Taft in Missouri of 67 votes. From 18 of the 114 counties, however, complete reports have not been received, and for these counties the statisticians made careful estimates. Complete returns from the missing precincts may change the result one way or another, and it is probable that the official count alone can determine whether Missouri has given its eighteen electoral votes to Bryan or to Taft. The same tables which give Bryan a lead of 67 votes give Hadley for governor a lead of 15,148, making his election over W. S. Cowherd a certainty. MARYLAND. Unofficial Returns Give Taft Plurality of 149. On the face of unofficial returns Taft has carried Maryland by 149 votes. Unquestionably the official count must be looked to for the actual result, and neither side will feel convinced until the result of that count is made known. The Maryland delegation in congress remains unchanged in political complexion. Taft Carries State—Democratic Governor Elected. A plurality of about 50,000 for Judge Taft, the Republican candidate for president, was the election day expression of the voters of Ohio, who, however, at the same time chose the head of the opposition state ticket by a plurality of probably 20,000. The slow count delays knowledge of the decision as to the legislature, and both parties claim to have the majority in that body. M HOWAR ELECT OF THE UN CALIFORNIA. Taft's Plurality Will Probably E ceed 60,000 California will probably give Taft a plurality of over 60,000 votes, and in addition he re-elected eight Republican congressmen and a Republican legislature. WEST VIRGINIA. Republican Victory - Practically Conceded by Democrats. A plurality of about 4,500 for Glasscock, candidate for governor, was practically conceded at Democratic headquarters. Total county votes con-firm the Taft victory in the state. NEBRASKA Democrats Make Sweeping Victory in Bryan's State. Returns, while far from compete, are sufficiently definite to confirm and emphasize the first report that the Democrats have made a sweeping victory in Nebraska. Bryan will have a plurality of not less than 10,000, and Shallenberger, Dem., for governor and the balance of the democratic ticket will have hardly a thousand less. At least four or probably five of Nebraska's six congressmen are Democratic, only one Republican, Hinshaw, being assured of escaping defeat. The greatest surprise of all is the overwhelming majority the Democrats will have in the legislature. Democrats Gain Seven Congressmen— Legislature Democrat A radical change in Indiana's representation in the national house of representatives was the most striking feature of the election. The la'st unofficial returns complete give the Democratic party eleven members and the Republicans two. This is a gain of seven members for the Democrats. Taft carried the state for president by about 8,000. The entire Democratic state ticket is probably elected by a plurality around 15,000. The state legislature is probably Democratic, which means that a Democratic successor to Senator James A. Hemenway will be chosen. The defeat of Congressmen Jesse Overstreet and Charles B. Landis, who were regarded as fixtures in the lower house of congress, is regarded as quite a surprise. MICHIGAN. Incomplete Returns Show Gov. Warner in Legd. With Detroit and Wayne county estimated, and with five other counties out of the total of eighty-three missing, the Detroit News estimates that Gov. Warner, Rep., is reelected by a plurality of 10,233 over his Democratic opponent, Lawton T. Hemans. The Free Press, with Wayne, Gladwin, Benzie and Leelanau counties missing, gives Warner a lead of 1,846. Interest in the governorship contest centers around the result in Wayne county, where only fifty precincts out of a hundred and fifty-five have been completed. D TAFT UNITED STATES OKLAHOMA. Bryan's Plurality Will Be About 18,000. Complete returns from forty counties in the central and northern sections of the state give Bryan a plurality of 13,000. The counties yet to be heard from have large Democratic votes. These will probably raise Bryan's plurality to 18,000. The legislature is strongly Democratic. Republicans gain two congressmen. MONTANA Indications Are That Taft Has Carried the State. Advices from throughout Montana indicate that Taft has carried the state by a majority close to 3,000. Charles N. Pray is re-elected to congress. The governorship is still in doubt, with Donlan, Rep., running about 1,600 behind Norris. Dem. COLORADO. Democrats Carry State for National and State Tickets Estimated pluralities by counties based upon incomplete returns show that Bryan and the entire Democratic state ticket carries Colorado with pluralities in the neighborhood of 5,000. The Democrats probably will control the legislature. Republicans Carry State on National and State Tickets. Late returns are reducing the estimated plurality of Taft and of Stubbs for governor. Stubbs plurality is placed at 20,000 to 25,000 and Tafts about 3,000 more. The Republicans have a majority in the legislature. NOT MEANT AS A WARNING. Fireman Was Unduly Alarmed at His Dog's Absence. Tommie Marr when he was a fireman on a freight run used to have, and in fact has yet, a dog that is greatly interested in railroads, at least so Tommie says. Every time Tommie started out for the yards to get his engine the dog would follow him, which of course, is strange, considering that it is a dog's nature to follow his master, but Tommie claims the dog never bothered about following him unless he was starting to work. Every day the dog would watch and when Tommie went downtown to play pool with the boys the bowwow paid no attention, but as soon as he set out for the railroad the dog trotted after him. The dog had been in the habit of doing this for a long time when one day he didn't show up as time came to start for the yards. Tommie worried over the dog's strange desertion, and the more he thought of it the more he wondered and worried. Finally he had come to the conclusion that the dog knew in some strange way that there was going to be an accident and could not bear to see his master leave on what probably would be his last trip. Then Tommie had it all figured out —not to his satisfaction, however— he began to plan how he might escape the impending danger. He didn't stop to think that if the dog knew something was going to happen to his master, why then something certainly had to happen, for if there was a way to escape the danger and Tommie took advantage of that way out of the difficulty, why, of course, the dog ought to have known that also, and consequently the canine shouldn't have felt worried. As the engine dragged its long line of cars slowly along a newly laid piece of track Tommie had time to think over what he would do when the wreck occurred, for he felt sure there was to be a wreck of some kind. While thinking over this Tommie was slowly shoveling in coal, and just then deciding that he ought to tell the engineer, so that he also would be warned, he straightened up. There was a blinding flash of a headlight in his eyes, a roar of a fast train rushing upon them, and Tommie, without stopping to shout at the engineer, jumped overboard, rolled over and over down the bank, and splashed into a pool of water, while the passenger train that had frightened him went by on the other track that had been put in a few days before. When Tommie returned home he learned that his dog had been chasing a cat and didn't see his master leave the house, which accounted for his failure to accompany him as usual to the roundhouse.-Chicago Tribune. Railroad's Effort to Substitute Catalpa Ties for Oak Didn't Work. An experiment in tree culture by which it was hoped to supplant white oak as the standard tree for railroad ties with another had been tried and found wanting by the Rio Grande & Western railroad, says the New York Times. Senator Reed Smoot of Utah, chairman of the forestry division of the committee on national resources, which was appointed last June by President Roosevelt, told of this experiment a few days ago, just after getting back from a trip through Germany, France and Switzerland, where he studied the forestry methods in those countries, with an idea of adapting some of them to conditions here. "That experiment of the Rio Grande & Western" was with catalpa trees," said Senator Smoot. "It was begun several years ago. At that time there was fear that the white oak trees, which furnished most of the ties for the railroads of the United States, would soon be exterminated. The price of ties had gone up. Great forests of white oak throughout the country had been slaughtered and the railroads found it hard to get good ties. The white oak is far from a rapid grower and it would take years for the oak forests to grow up again to a size large enough to make railroad ties. "At that time there was some talk of the catalpa tree being a good substitute for the white oak. It was a much softer wood, but had been tried in a small way for ties by some of the railroads. So the Rio Grande & Western decided to plant a large double avenue of catalpa along its lines of track through Utah. "It took a large force of men many weeks to plant the trees, but the railroad made a mistake by not protecting them from cattle and rodents. The result was that what might have been one of the most beautiful pieces of road in the country now has a rather ragged appearance, and the experiment was a dismal failure." Fifty Years with One Railroad Joseph Boynton, a locomotive engineer for the Chicago & Alton railroad, has just passed his sixty-fourth birthday and celebrated with it his fiftieth year of service with the railroad. In 1858 he began as a messenger boy at the Chicago station and in 1864 was made engineer. He has never had an accident of any sort and never has been reprimanded. He is in the prime of health and bids fair to spend many more years at his employment. It is said he is the oldest man in the employ of the Alton railroad, both in age and in years of service.

Mourning Clothes of Gay Colors. In accordance with his known aversion to the customary mourning clothes, the obsequies of Robert Boucher James of Hallsannery, Bideford, were yesterday carried out with unusual features.

The wreaths from the family were of gay colors. HAVE YOU READ THE APPEAL? THE APPEAL, A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY ADAMS BROS.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT. Treat each man according to his worth as a man. Distrust his worth have any one class placed before any other. Other republics have fallen because the unscrupulous have substituted loyalty to class for loyalty to the people as a whole. —President Roosevelt's speech at Little Rock, Ark. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1908. 'TIS WELL! 'TIS WELL!! Once more it may well be said: "God reigns, and the government at Washington still lives." After one of the hardest fought battles, victory again perches on the Republican banner. 'Tis well! 'Tis well for the whole country, but especially so for the Afro-American, whose condition, deplorable as it now is, would have been certainly made much worse had the "Peeritess One" won. With Taft and Sherman in control, the old Republican ship may be counted on to save us from the Democratic sea. Every scheme that could be devised in the endeavor to have the Afro-American desert his friends failed, and, despite these efforts, he stood true to the party of Lincoln, Sumner, Grant, McKinley, Rosevelt, Sherman. According to the Divine plan of salvation, we presume, it became necessary to have a Judas, but who among the saved does not abhor him. So, too, to their everlasting shame and condemnation, be it said, there WASHINGTON "As a Nation our duty compels that by every constitutional and reasonable means the material and educational condition of the Afro-American be advanced. This we owe to ourselves as well as to them. As the result of a course of events that can never be reversed, they are a part of ourdivision and their prosperity is our prosperity; their debasement would be our misfortune. "The Republican party, therefore, will offer every encouragement to the thrift, industry and intelligence that will better their prospect of higher attainment."—James S. Sherman. 6 CHAIRMAN of the Republican National Committee whose Masterly Direction of the Campaign Made a Republican Voter. were to be found among the Afro-Americans a few, thank God, a very few, Judases, who were willing to sell their saviors for thirty pieces of silver. The Lord be praised, they could find but few purchasers. But few, who could see how it was possible for any good to come to them by putting in power the party in which all the hellish, inhuman laws and devices for the degradation and SUBJUGATION of the Afro-American have originated. There are some very fine individuals in the Democratic party; just as there same very bad ones in the Republican party, but the Democratic party, as a party, is against everything that tends towards the advancement of the Afro-American, along the lines vouchsafed by the Constitution, in his pursuit of happiness. And, the few good Democrats can no more transfer their party into a fit abiding place for a decent Afro-American, than the few bad Republicans can change the fundamental principles of their party; the party by and through which all the good things, be they few or many, have come to us. The strong men, the wise men, the true men among the Afro-Americans; and, in fact, among all the people that go to make up the cosmopolitan population of this country, were with Taft and Sherman. They may have had some sore spots where the cuticle had been knocked off by individuals in the Republican party, but they just cauterized their wounds or cut off the offending members, believing that it were better to enter heaven minus a little skin or a member of their bodies than that their whole bodies be consigned to hades. With the election of Teft and Sherman we enter upon a new lease of life for at least four years, and may be forever. We know we have friends at court to whom we may apply when trouble comes. Men who stand for the uplifting and the betterment of all mankind, men whom we have the right to believe are believers in the brotherhood of man. "Praise God from Whom all blessings flow." It's all over now. The most roaring farce, the most exuberant display of idiocy, the grandest exhibit of impudence that was ever paraded before the astonished gaze of the world has at last come to an end, and the political bunco man, false prophet, humbug and fakir, has been retired to the background. The old flag waves in triumph. The country is safe. We are redeemed. Taft has been elected, and all classes can breathe free again. What fearful disasters we have escaped! Misery for the poor! disaster for the well-to-do in life. The strong common, sense of the common people has averted the calamity. While many were deceived and misled, the great body was open to reason, saw the danger to our country and its benign institutions and built up an impregnable citadel with their votes, against the enemies of liberty, law and order. With their votes they smashed the most dangerous conspiracy since the overthrow of the slaveholders' rebellion. Democracy, Mobocracy, Ballotbox box-stuffing-oracy, Bryan, Parker, Mack, Daniels, Vardaman, Heflin and Tillman—exeunt omnes. (The curtain falls.) The old Flag never looked more beautiful than on Tuesday. If looked like a thing of life, which was inspired and knew what was going on at the pôlls. The sun shines bright in the old Kentucky home, but that does not prevent the night-riders from preferring to meander during the season of moonshine. Will not the wage-earner strut proud now, with his tin bucket filled with the good things of life and ten jobs hunting for him? Praise God—and the men who voted for Taft. Didn't we rout them? MAKING MOVING PICTURES Professional Actors Are Employed and Real Scenery Used by Thomas A. Edison in the Manufacture of Motion Pictures THE FESTIVAL A COLLEGE BASKETBALL GAME IN THE THEATER AT MR. EDI SON'S STUDIO. On a hillside near Webster avenue, the Bronx, Thomas A. Edison has erected a unique building, entirely of one piece, like a rock-hewn temple. The material is concrete, with a roof of glass over the larger portion of the building. This odd-looking structure attracts the attention of every passerby, while comments upon its probable use are varied and often ludicrous. Some are sure it is an electric power house, although the glass roof is puzzling; others think it is a dynamite factory built to avoid danger from explosion and fire. Construction on the building commenced in the summer of 1906; its concrete walls, floors, roofs, ceilings and window casings, all molded in the soft mixture which was used thousands of years ago by the ancient builders, were put up before winter set in. An inspection of this method of house building will convince any one that Mr. Edison is right in using concrete from a photographic studio. Not to mention economy in cost, the hardness is that of rock itself, and therefore neither dampness, frost nor gnawing rodents can affect it. Dust is minimized, and the floors and walls can be cleaned, washed or swept like a stone house. Again, it is hermetically air proof and cold proof, while in summer the heat penetrates slowly. All these considerations are of great value to photography and the building of moving picture. The building extends for 180 feet along Decatur avenue; it is 60 feet wide and 35 feet high—an imposing object seen from Webster avenue. The studio is in two parts, distinct, but standing on a common basement story. On the south side stands a plain oblong office building, three stories high, containing offices, dressing rooms, chemical laboratories, dark rooms, tank rooms and drying halls, with other necessary compartments. This faces a glass court. These two parts are connected by a sort of open hall, or atrium, directly open to the stage in the studio. Down under the main floor is a long, roomy place of great interest—the property room. Yes, there is even the property man here, for the numerous costumes, paraphernalia and necessaryes of the work are legion, and must be carefully taken stock of. Having, as in the "Eagle's Nest" series, arranged the scenes in proper order and perfected details of location and costuming, the next thing is to obtain the actors. The Edison studio does not employ makehifts, and the actors who produce the plays are not only real, professional men and women, but the best ones procurable. In the "Eagle's Nest" they included one right off the Metropolitan opera house stage, a singer of great promise, already doing leading parts. If professional wrestlers, swimmers or skaters are required, they are obtained. The opening scene of the Eagle's Nest" shows a wood chopper's cabin in a lumber camp, with a baby playing outside the door; the mother comes out and the lumberman departs for the forests. The mother kisses her baby and returns into the house. Then an eagle swoops down and carries off the screaming child, while the mother rushes out with a gun—too late. Then she follows the bird of prey through the distant sky, with her eyes fixed in horror. The second scene takes us into the heart of the vast forests, among cliffs and thickets. In this scene we shall show how the motion picture is actually produced. The rescue of the child requires four more scenes, of which the first may be called the alarm. The woodsmen are gathered around A COLLEGE BASKETBALL GAME SON'S a tree, which is being about being felled—of course a site was selected where the woodmen were about to do this, and then the actors took their places where necessary. Noting that the tree is about to fall, they step aside and down it comes—you can almost hear it crash through the surrounding branches. At this moment the mother, coming from behind the camera, rushes into view, and tells how the baby is car- Sic Transit. The Kindly Old Gentleman—Well, my little man, and what's your name? The Little Man—Please, sir, I dun- no. The Kindly Old Gentleman—Bless my soul, you don't know? The Little Man—No, sir. Please, sir, mother got married again yester- day." People are becoming so polite that when you want an honest opinion from them you can't get it. ried away by an eagle. Excitement becomes intense, and the men form in line, seize their guns, axes and ropes. The pursuit is begun, and in the next scene it is continued through a wild ravine, where they first catch sight of the eagle's nest. Then comes a scene on top of a giant cliff which rears its head far over the forests below. The eagle's nest is located far down on the precipice, and the woodmen lower the father by a rope. In the succeeding scenes we see the brave father descending to the nest, where he has a terrific fight with the huge, ferocious eagle, finally killing it. Then tossing it over the edge he catches his baby and is pulled up again. The whole series is splendid motion, and has proved a great success. There are many scenes in moving THE MUSEUM OF THE WORLD'S FINEST ART THOMAS A. EDISON IN A CORNER OF HIS LABORATORY. picture series that from their historical or magical character, or their being merely comedietta, are produced indoors on the stage. The glass roofed portion of the Edison studio we have already mentioned as being a combined photographic studio and theater. A film several hundred feet long would hardly go into a photographer's developing tray, except in Brobdingnag, the giant's country; so special apparatus is used in development. Up on the third floor is a mysterious room, which at first glance looks like some new kind of Turkish bath, there being six porcelain tubs raised down its length. These are as large as bathtubs, much like them in appearance. Underneath each is a gas jet series for heating, and at each end are axles, cranks and motors. The latter are compact little devices which are used to turn the axles aforesaid. Now the other side of the room contains several huge drums, hollow and open ended, like cylinders. Mr. Porter, who conducts the important process of developing, places one of the cylinder drums on the axles of the first tank. This contains the developer and the bottom of the drum dips into the fluid. The several hundred feet of film is wound carefully on the drum, which is kept in motion until the pictures on the negative begin to "move up." After development the drum is lifted into a tank of water, warmer than blood heat, and from there at once lifted over to number three tank, where the hypo clears the pictures. IN THE THEATER AT MR. EDI-STUDIO. While the first drum is on its way down the room from tank to tank a second and third are started after it, each bearing many hundreds of tiny pictures. Behind the developing room is a large chemical dark room and laboratory, and outside these rooms is the drying hall, where the films are reeled off on great seven-foot high wooden drums, which each hold a thousand feet of film. Here there must be no Viewing the Parade. "Yes, my son." "That drum major looks brave, doesn't he?" "Oh, yes." "I suppose he ought to look brave, for in battle he's in front of the others, isn't he?" "No, my boy; he's not. In battle the band goes back a mile in the rear of the troops, and the drum major goes back about a mile in the rear of the band!" dust, as that would settle on the pictures and look like pieces of coal in magnifying the scenes on a screen. So the advantage of stone floors, walls and ceilings becomes manifest. Even the too high speeding of the rollers is avoided to prevent currents of dust carrying air. This drying is followed by careful inspection and brushling off, and then the films are reeled into their boxes again, ready for shipment to Llewellyn park, where they are developed into positives and prepared for market. THE STRENGTH OF AN EAGLE. Weight the Bird Could Carry in Flight —His Strong Claws. While I cannot give any positive proof of how much a bald eagle can carry, I should suppose that he could carry at least as much in proportion to his weight as a hawk or a horned owl. I have the recorded weight of a male bald eagle weighing nine and one-quarter pounds and a female weighing twelve pounds. A horned owl will weigh from four to five pounds, and I have several times known one to carry off a large house cat. One was a very large one and the owner told me he could hear the cat cry as he was being carried off. Now, any one who will weigh a large house cat will find it to weigh at least ten pounds. I have seen a goshawk carry off a hen fully twice its own weight, and I have taken from a marsh hawk a very large chicken which would weigh more than twice what the hawk would. The marsh hawk is one of our weakest hawks, but he had carried this chicken over a quarter of a mile. My belief is that if a hawk or horned owl can carry more than twice its weight (and I know positively that they can) that an eagle could, if occasion required, do as much in proportion to his weight, which would be to carry eighteen or twenty pounds. Once, when an eagle, shot through the body with a rifle ball, lay on his back, I unpended a long road skid and dropped it on him. Before it reached him he stretched up and caught it in his claws and held it up the length of his legs above him. I walked up on the skid and stood above him and he easily held me and the skid, which I should judge would weigh more than twenty pounds. I took pains to be weighed the same day and weighed 119 pounds. I put a stick in the claw of a wounded eagle and let him grasp a small tree with the other and a man must be stronger than I ever was to take the stick from him. DRUMS FOR DRYING NEGATIVES in the fishing village of Auchmithie you may frequently witness seagulls flying into the houses of the fishermen and partalkink of food from their hands. One of these sea birds was in the habit of staying in a sherman's house all the year round except at the breeding season, when it left. About a fortnight ago, while the gull was away, the fisherman removed his home some three and a half miles from the former place. The fisherman never expected to see his friend the gull again. It was therefore, much to his astonishment that he beheld on a recent Sunday the sea bird come walking into his new residence with stately steps to resume his old familiarities and household ways. Something to Take When Soaked. As a brisk philanthropist thrust her fare into the cab driver's hand she saw that he was wet and apparently cold after the half hour of pouring rain. "Do you ever take anything when you get soaked through?" she asked. "Yes, ma'm," said the cabman, with humility. "I generally do." "Wait here in the vestibule," commanded the philanthropist. She inserted her house key in the lock, opened the door and vanished, to appear a moment later. "Here," she said, putting a small envelope in the man's outstretched hand. "These are two grain quinine pills; you take two of them now and two more in half an hour." Rowing and Ro'ing A man hired a southern negro to go out with him to fish. The man was doing the rowing, and, finally turning to his helper, asked him if he couldn't row. "No, boss," was the reply. So the man did all the rowing, and when he had caught all the fish he wanted, rowed to the shore and climbed the bank with the fish. Turning around he saw the negro rowing the boat away with vigorous strokes, and, calling to him, said: "I thought you told me you couldn't row?" "Oh did you mean pull de boat, boss? I thought you meant could I ro--like a lion." She—I suppose you will commit suicide if I refuse you? He—Ah, that has been my custom. This brings to mind the story of the man who walked into a drug store and asked for an ounce of cyanide of postassum. “Are you a photographer?” inquired the druggist. “No, sir.” replied the patron, raising himself up to his full height. “I am a self-murderer!” SEE LITTLE OF THEIR CITY. Washingtonians Overlook the Beauties of the Capital. Washington is a town of entrenching interest if one but gets inside the subject—if one comprehends the wonderful development that has gone on since the city site was a group of farms and the wonderful development that is taking place now. The great things of Washington appear commonplace to Washington people. They see them so often that they do not see them at all. They ride by the capitol every day, but rarely tread the halls and corridors of the majestic old pile where so much world history has been made and is still making. They have no time to give to the interesting frescoes, the paintings, the statues and the stories of the place. They are too busy to do as strangers do—climb to the dome, get a glorious panorama and see the city at a glance. Also do the residents seem to shun the monument. It is so inconveniently situated, there being no street cars nearer to it than at least two squares. They seldom stop to read the inscriptions on the memorials that abound. They do not flock to the National Museum, or the art gallery, or to Arlington or the Naval observatory. They do not go in great numbers to the pious shade of the close of the Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul or to the splendid grounds of the Catholic university. They neglect the Soldiers' Home unless they own an auto, and then perhaps their only comment is that the roads are good. Washingtonians will walk till their bunions burn in pursuing the beauties of the Jardin des Plants and the royal gardens at Kew, but give not a thought to the remarkable collection and variety of tree and plant forms in the capitol grounds, the national Botanic garden, the grounds of the agricultural department and several of the public parks. Washingtonians do patronize their libraries, for the population of the capital is, on the whole, bookish. It is too bad that so many persons in following the beaten path from home to office and from office back to home overlook so much of Washington—Washington Star. OLDEST SENATE EMPLOYE DEAD Charles S. Draper's Name on Record as Far Back as 1852. Charles S. Draper, the oldest employee of the senate, is dead. Mr. Draper spent his entire business life in the capitol. His name appears on the records of the senate as far back as 1852. When a young man he worked in various offices of the senate. In the early '60s he was appointed to the post of doorkeeper and messenger for Sergeant-at-Arms Brown. In this position he became known to every senator and to the official whose business carried him to the senate. Mr. Draper finally became the confidential man of the sergeant-at-arms. He was looked upon by the senator comprising the district committee as an ideal man to attend to the affairs concerning the city and district. Upon the appointment of Senator McMillan as chairman of the district committee, Mr. Draper was transferred to service with the senator. In this position he became widely known to every newspaper man and many business men in Washington, besides gaining the confidence of the senators on the committee. Senator McMillan was succeeded by Senator Gallinger several years ago as chairman of the committee. Mr. Draper was transferred to the important post at the door of the diplomatic gallery. This was looked upon by senators and employees alike as a distinct honor. Mr. Draper then began to form his wide acquaintance with members of the diplomatic corps, and was as well known by them as by senators and other men of national importance. In this last position he frequently entertained diplomats with interesting stories of American political life and was looked upon by them as a mine of information on senatorial topics. Nearly a Million Patents Nearly one million patents have been issued by the United States government in the period between 1836 and 1908. In round numbers there will have been issued by the 29th of the present month just 900,000 patents of all descriptions. Away back in the thirties, before the patent office was created, the issuance of a patent required the signatures of what was known as the patent commission, comprising the secretary of state, the secretary of war and the president. The records in the early days were very crude, and the statement was made at the patent office that the first issuance of a patent of which there is any record was January 15, 1836, to J. Beverly Allen, for "improvement in a box for packing tobacco." This patent was number 110. Between January 1, 1836, and January 1, 1837, there were issued 110 patents. City of Opium Users In Kerman there is a fearful amount of opium eating and smoking. It is a common saying there that "every fourth man out of three" is an opium smoker, and it is certainly very difficult to find a man who is not a slave to this awful habit. The women, too, resort to it very much, chiefly as a means of ridding themselves of an anxious fellow wife, or of ending their own unhappy lives.—Wide World Magazine. Ancient Cosmetic In Queen Anne's time the court beauties employed a popular remedy for making the shoulders and arms white and fabby skin firm. This consisted of the whites of four eggs with a grain or two of alum, the whole beaten quite thick. This mixture is then spread on the skin over night, carefully covered with old pieces of linen and removed in the morning with warm water and soap. As Distinguished from White Man's. Uncle Tom, the village plasterer, was making some repairs on his hen-house. "Dis," he haw-hawed, "is de cullud man's bird den."

For once the American had discov ered something British that was bet- ter than anything they could produce “across the pond.” His discovery was fine collie dog, and he at once tried to Induce its owner, an old shepherd, to sell it, “Wad yet be takin’ him to Amer ca?" inquired the ola Scot. “Yes, I guess 80,” said the Yankee. “I thocht as muckle,” said the shep- herd. “I couldna pairt wi? Jock.” But while they sat and chatted an English tourist came up, and to him the shepherd sold the collie for much less than the American had offered, “You told me you wouldn't sell him,” said the Yankee, when the pur chaser had departed, “Na,” replied the Scot; “I sald 1 couldna’ pairt wi him, Jock’ de back ina day or 0, but he couldna’ swim the Atlantic.” ‘Swallows Whip a Squirrel.

A YOUNG LION SLAYER, Boer Farmer Boy's Good Shots on the African Veldt. ‘Three lions were killed near Pieters: burg, Transvaal, the other day by the nineteen-yearold son of Joset Eras. mus, a Boer farmer, says the Pretoria ‘Volksstem. It appears that young Erasmus was on his way to the Messina mine and had outspanned his donkey team when bis Kafir boy came running ta tell him that three lions wore tackling the donkeys. Erasmus seized his gun and ran hard in the direction indicat. ed. On his arrival at the spot he found the Mons lying around one of the donkeys. He fired and killed a ig loness. ‘The other two jumped up but he was ready and shot another (younger) Il ‘ones. The young lion which was lett ran behind some _brushwood. Erasmus first collected his donkeys and brought them into safety and then ‘once more carefully approached the scene of the fight. In order to find out if the two lion- esses were dead he fired another shot at one of them. This disturbed the surviving Hon, who thereupon came forth roaring. Erasmus was again ready and shot him dead on the spot. Asked by the Volksstem correspond. ent, whether he was alone at the time, Erasmus replied: “Oh, no, Oom, I haa my little Kafir boy with me.” ‘The skins were goldin Pietersburg.

They wery “highly recommended by the medical profession” about 1557, for Andrew Boorde, in his “Breviary ot Health,” speaking of cramp, says: “The Kynge's Majestie hath a great helpe in this matter in hallowing Crampe Ringes without money or petition.” Occasionally cramp rings played a persuasive part. in diplomacy. cord Berners, our ambassador at the court of Charles V;, wrote in 1508 “to, my Lorde Cardinall's grace” for some “erampe ryngs,” with trust to “be stowe, them well, by.

Never Allow Yourself to Feel Dread of ‘Advancing Years. ‘The way to ward off old age is not to fear It, not to allow one's self to be oppressed by the dread of advancing years. Use only legitimate preventives and avoid trying experiments with prepa- rations not indorsed by physicians, Do not wear tollets intended for young girls. They only add years to the appearance. Keep up your inter. est in the young, but do not envy them. Retire with dignity from the struggle; do not pose as your daugh- ter’s rival. Above all, surround your life with sweet, true affections, which prevent the heart from growing bitter. Do not lose interest In the growing events of the day; do not fall behind the times, and do not harp on other and better days. To those who come to you for advice be always kind and sympathetic. As you advance in years preserve carefully your personal appearance, for once lost it may not be regained save by strenuous effort, Last of all, your costume should be simple and unpretentious, yet grace- ful. ‘These rules, carefully and sensibly followed, will keep you young and at- tractive. pox LP 7C GE [Ty 2 ii eh Re ‘ Q oe AA atin PIETY)’ ~ >) BY bes CNEL GF cy Z A halthour well spent upon the com- pioxton ‘at night fe, worth two nthe Socal i poodle TON BitUOHMA tA 40 Joa hens dally tn avast oll warned to blood teat A tablespoonful of olive oll taken FRENCH COATS AND WRAPS.

Old Turkish towels are singularly useless things unless they are turned into, furniture polishers or washrags, and one of the objections to the last mentioned way of using them has al ways been that the hems were toc thick and that they were hard to handle.
