The Appeal

THE APPEAL KEEPS IN FRONT BECAUSE: 1-It aims to publish all the news possible. 2-It does so impartially, writing no words. 3- Its correspondents are able and energetic. Almost Every Day and Night They Are Constantly Under Watch. THE MASTER VOL. 24. NO. 48. Shadowing Almost Every Day and Nily Under "The man of many interests can no more get away from the penetrating rays of publicity then a cat can get away from its tail," said the old-time detective. "In the first place, the nation at large is keeping its eye on him. But that's only one eye. There are a thousand little blazing orbs that follow him wherever he goes during business hours. Let him be absent from his office at a time when the bankers, brokers and traders believe he should be there, and straight-way goes a notice over the ticker for every one of them." "J. P. Morgan is said to be detained at his home by illness," runs the message, if it be about him, or, "E. H. Harriman, who is not at his office today, is reported to be about to make a trip to the Pacific coast." Whoever it may be who has temporarily dropped out of sight a rush is at once made for his office. The representatives of the ticker service, the financial bulletins and perhaps some bankers and brokers make anxious inquiries concerning the absence and the cause of his disappearance. During the panic last year Mr. Morgan could not have been watched more carefully if he had been a specimen of the public minute under the constant observation of the best dispatcher on the road. Yet it is not in such daylight operations, lasting only a few hours, that "business" shows its greatest acuteness of vision or its most unfagging persistence. It is when the big flun- THE cients want to force somebody's hand or to obtain inside information regarding another's plans that the eye of a hawk becomes, in comparison, like that of a grocery store coddish. In such emergencies beautiful women have sometimes been hired to follow a hawk down, to back if necessary—to get one word of information between two words of idle chatter, as women have also been employed to seek the confidence of wives for the same purpose. In another case a man was sought to court the daughter of a captain of industry, and even to propose marriage to her. If necessary, to get certain information to her father's ultimate plans concerning a great industrial enterprise. But as an illustration of what business men sometimes do in the way of shadowing, the following incident surpasses any other: In the financial district is a firm, capitalized for many millions, that is rated in Bradstreet's at AA1. There were two men who did not like the other one. He was intractable, disagreeable, hard to get along with. They decided to get The Correct Charge. "What is this poor fellow charged with?"

They haggled around for several months, during which no progress was made toward relieving the trained relations existing between the friendly two and the undesired third. Finally the two hit upon a plan. Their partner had announced his intention of taking a trip to Europe. They would send a detective with him, and he would do or say something that would their advantage. Perhaps, upon his return, he would be willing to sell rather than to have the detective's report sent where it would be read with the greatest interest. So the partner and the detective departed. The partner's visit dragged on from week to week, and finally in months, and upon each returning ship came the reports of the man who had been sent to watch him. But the reports were of no interest, even to the men who read them. Their part-time be conducting himself admirably, so far as he could return, were concerned, though quite importantly for those who wanted to buy out. But they knew him—or thought they did—and waited for more reports. But the rest of the reports were like the first, and the man himself came home without his partners, having obtained the kind of information they wanted. It was then they shuffled the deck to what they believed was their trump card. One of the partners had a very pretty cousin, a young woman.

She should appear at the office and go to work, apparently as an ordinary employee. Her purpose in doing so should be to cultivate the acquaint- ance of the third partner. But she should not be nothing in her conduct. There should be to suggest so to shrewd a man the possibility of a plot. Yet when the time came she should recognize the moment and play the game. The time finally came. The partner asked her to go to dinner with him the next evening. She had been to dinner with him before, and had gained enough of his confidence to know this dinner was not to be like the others. But she lost no time in accepting the invitation, and still more promptly told her cousin. An hour later the cousin was in a private detectiveAgency with the chief. Carefully he told the story of how he and his agreeable partner had tried to buy out the disagreeable other fellow, and, having failed, had engaged a man to shadow him to Europe. Even more minutely he went New Kind of Grandfather.

Then he came to his point. Conspiring to Exort Money. He wanted two detectives assigned to shadow the couple, first to the theater and then to their ultimate destination. Within a minute after the arrival of the third partner and his companion one of the detectives should knock on the door, which the bachelor cousin would thereupon open. The other partners would at once appear, feign surprise, indignation and anger, and the next morning the third partner would be told he must sell out at their figure or suffer exposure. trait of his character. From no one knows where they enlisted the services of as pretty a woman as ever rode down Fifth avenue. In a few days she appeared at the hotel in which the great capitalist made his home. She was beautiful enough to be conspicuous in any company—difficult enough to make her attractiveness compelling.

"Do you realize," said he, "you have asked me to help you do something for which we would both be sent to state prison?" "Mr. Platteman expressed great amazement." "You have asked me to aid you in springing a trap by means of which you plan to force your partner to sell at a price fixed by your property that he does not want to sell. Now, what would be the result if I were to do it?" "The partner of whom you are trying to rid yourself would go home and spend a sleepless night. About 8 o'clock in the morning he would say to himself, I can stand this no longer. I must go to my attorney and seek his advice." "Hed go. His attorney would listen to his story, take out his watch, note the time—9 o'clock—and say, the district attorney's office and swear out a warrant for that young woman for extort money from you." "The third partner would swear to the warrant, and the young woman would be arrested. Within an hour after her arrest the whole story would be wring from her and warring with her for extort money your other partner. Later in the day I should be arrested and forced to tell B MAN the names of the two detectives assigned to the case, who would also be taken into custody. "Abandon this scheme. Go to your office-morrow morning and tell your partner you came within hailing distance of the pententiary to night, but you have any honest detective ever you have at your service, so shall be at your service, but this case I would not take for a million dollars." On another occasion a firm of big operators wanted to get inside information concerning a multi-millionaire's suitmate plans for the development of a great property. They went at night at the time and what he probably intended to do six months later, but they were not sure what he might do the next year. And it was what he intended to do at this later period that would determine whether they should become buyers or sellers of his securities. There was no use of sending men to brush up against him. He never talked to men. But he had evidently heard of him. He would never be unkind to a woman so they determined to capitalize this "Do you take any periodicals?" asked the new clergyman on his first round of parish visits.

Miss Caustique—Indeed; you don't look it. trait of his character. From no one knows where they all joined the services of as pretty a woman as ever rode down Fifth avenue. In a few days she appeared at the hotel in which the great capitalist made his home. She was beautiful enough to be conspicuous in any compartment - diligent enough to make her attentiveness compelling. She neither sought nor intended introductions to others, passing her time as any well bred woman in affluent cities might wish to do. As good an automobile as is made in France took her from and to the hotel. And the car bore her monogram. Her life in this hotel was destined to be marked by two great days, and it was six months before the first one came. On that day she was introduced to the man on account of whom some one had bought all her fashionable gowns and afray, her motor car and with him for ten minutes, she chatted with him good evening, just as his interest in her was ascending by leaps and bounds. The next day he asked her to ride with him through the park, and she politely declined. For three months this handsome young feminine person played with this wise gentleman in much the same manner that a cat would toy with a little dog, and ultimately to eat. Little by little she knew she was a widow. Reared by an diligent father, all she had known about money was that it was made in the mint and her papa got it. Nor did her husband force upon her the more definite knowledge of the manner in which dollar bills are nursed into tens and into hundreds. Where "Advice" Was Not Taken. Then death came upon their happy home and in a twisting the responsibilities of a large fortune thrust upon her. She disliked these burdens so. She was never trained to bear them, she had neither aptitude nor liking for such tasks, and she was in constant fear of tumbling into pitfalls. The gentleman was dally sympathetic. To the best of his limited ability he would at any time instruct her. She sat at that time contemplating and in which she might entitle her. This woman knew what to do—or, rather she had been told what to do. Her employers wished to know whether it was her intention of the gentleman to force a certain stock to a still higher figure—it was then high—or to let it sag back. She bided time until she believed the right moment to come and deal around to the subject. A transaction that need not be entered into here had left her several thousand dollars which she desired to reinvest. Would the gentleman advise her to buy stock in his big concern at its present high price? He ought to have known better, but he didn't. He "fell for" the "wildow" question of danger. And he told me only he honestly believed, but what he knew to be true. The price of the stock was to be slaughtered in a few weeks. She thanked him and did not invest. Neither did her employers. More than that, they sold what they did have. And what they saved by getting out while the price was high made the cost of paying the "wildow" expenses for six months look like a rain check because the bill was paid. Another business man sent a messenger to request the chief of a private detective agency to call on him. "I want to find out," said he, "what So-and- is going to do with such-and-such a property. He is the hardest man in the world to get any information from. But he's got a daughter who can talk like a phonograph. Furthermore, I think that girl of his age is very smart. As nearly as I can find out she's the only one he confides in—she winds him around her finger if she wants to. "Now, what I want you to do is this: There are a lo of young men without much means in this town whose social position is just as good as So-and-So's and his daughter's. I consent to go on this case. I'll put all the money he needs to make good with the girl. And I want you to have him go after her as if she were the only girl he had ever loved. If he has to let him even propose to her—he needn't marry her if he doesn't want to marry her. If he wants information I want he must get it." The chief politely declined, and the case went elsewhere, if it went any where. Even Honors One of the Tammany delegates at the Denver convention was approached by an old acquaintance who was badly down in his luck. Siding up to the Tammany man, he said: "Say, Billy, lend me a twenty, will you? I'm short." The New Yorker went down into his pocket, fished out a big roll and handed a ten-dollar bill to the seedy one. "Say, Billy," she said of the touch, "I said twenty." she did "did," the politi clan. "more," I think this way is fairer. You lose ten and I lose ten. See?" "Dad," declared materfamilies in the next room, "either that young man has proposed at last or Towser is in the parlor again." WILL YOU TAKE TEA WITH ME? WILL YOU TAKE TEA WITH ME? How to Serve the Fashionable Beverage With Its Accompanying Sweets and Dainties. A AFTERNOON TEA IN THE WALDORF-ASTORIA EMPIRE ROOM Everybody takes afternoon tea now. Society women meet for a little chat and a bite to eat when sipping their favorite ceylon or Formosa; business women leave their work a few minutes early or snatch a short respite for the pleasure of the tea drinking hour; matinee girls have transferred their affections from ice cream sodas to Coulon and sweets, and now and now one sees men scattered through the faerie realm, a cup of fragrant tea instead of a more culine kind of drink. It is the fashion to invite your friends to take tea with you, and a fashion that is both sane and enjoyable. If there is the least lingering doubt in the mind of any one as to the popularity of the tea hour a glimpse through any of the fashionable residences of tea rooms will dislike this suspicious hour; it was the luncheon hour at which women gathered for gossip and refreshment, but now the tea hour is the time set for this combination of pleasures. Luncheon parties are still given, but they are not half so soicable and entertaining as the 5 o'clock tea gathering. During at home exists, or rather the fashion is being introduced, in many homes where the serving of afternoon tea was an event instead of a daily occurrence. Friends dropping in on their way home from a shopping tour or after the matinee supply the atmosphere of the chatty crowded tea rooms overlooking Fifth avenue, but the home tea is never quite the same as the more brilliant restaurant tea room. They find their friends, see the new fashion and hear the latest bit of gossip. Having been introduced to the teacup-drinking habit by the English, we have made a variation or two in it which does not diminish the social nature of the drink, though converts it into a more subversive than the original afternoon tea. AFTERNOON T "Either we shall have to advance the regular tea hour or defer the dinner one," said a well known restaurateur, when discussing the growing habit of tea drinking in this country. "American women are so fond of eating cakes, sandwiches, French pastry and icees with their afternoon tea that their appetites must suffer and their weights increase. They partake of a substantial tea at 5 or 5:30 and dine between 6 and 7. There is a greater demand each season for French pastry with tea, while the modest little ones may prefer to recover further and further into the dine necesses of the steward's domain." Tea and muffins, tea and toast or tea and crumpets used to form the menu for either a restaurant tea or one served at home, and when these dainties are perfectly prepared and brought in crisp and hot there is nothing more delicious. Currant buns are a sweet and appetizing accompaniment to a fragrant cup of tea, and in certain tea rooms they are a special. The hostess can pick up many useful ideas on tea serving and what to have with tea from the best restaurants and tea rooms. She will serve tea with sandwiches and buns, and that they sandwiches in sweets, so that it is always wise to include some cakes among the tea table vand. A plate of plain bread and butter sandwiches cut very thin and perfectly fresh should be served with the other delicacies. There will be some guests who prefer this simple fare to the more elaborate sweets of the American tea table, but they are in the minority. Brown bread treated in the same way is excellent with tea, and offers a little variation to the white bread. The home tea table should excel in this particular dainty, for it is easy to prepare, and one of the most difficult orders to have filled satisfactorily in a restaurant. Nut mixtures spread between thin slices of bread, thin layers of cheese or cream cheese mixed with season- THE APPEAL STEADILY GAINS BECAUSE: 4-It is the organ of ALL Afro-Americans. 5-It is not controlled by any ring or olique. 6-It saks no support but the people's. ing and nuts, and either brown or white bread with crisp lettuce leaves and a bit of mayonnaise will prove an inspiration to the woman who is fagging a tiresome shopping trip or long interview with or dressing. The list of palatable tea table wiches is almost limitless if the hostess will only take the trouble to prepare them or see that they are prepared. Where the cook is accomplished in the art of scone making these delicious Southern dainties should by all means have a place of honor on the afternoon tea table. One woman owes a large part of her social success and popularity to the scones and tea she serves two or three afternoons a week. Women as well as men are susceptible to culinary attractions, and few can resist the crisp yellow brown scones that come piping hot from the oven and are spread with melting. A much prized recipe for afternoon tea biscuit, one that is not even confided to a friend, but has been treasured by a single household for generations, has a mixture of mustard and cheese that baffles the analytical powers of all who partake of this delicacy. It is one of the simplest tea accompaniments. Tea biscuit, either a lemon or a lemon from a good bakery, form the formation of this appetizing vinaigret. The biscuits are split open, and each half is spread with a little mustard, then sprinkled with butter, and the discs are ready for a visit to the hot oven, where they should remain long enough to convert the tops of the biscuits into a rich yellow brown crust and to heat them all the way through. Afterward they should be taken from the oven and served immediately before the cheese takes on a gummy texture. The cheese is simply prepared tea delicacy will tempt any woman to run the risk of spoiling her appetite for dinner, even to spoiling her complexion, one might TEA IN THE WALDORF-ASTORIA EM almost say, for the sake of tasting the dainty, piquant morsel as it fairly melts in her mouth Americans now have the distinction of being called tea connoisseurs—and this is a distinction indeed when one has sampled a few of the foreign brews of afternoon beverages that are made in a tea pot. Not only do we know good tea, but we understand the art of serving it, which is quite as important. English breakfast selection of leaves. English breakfast selection of leaves. the favorite brand served in rant tea rooms, while Ceylon, Formosa and some of the special blends taken with thin slices of lemon and sugar have a host of devotees. Each cup of tea, to be properly made, should be prepared separately and served promptly, in order to get the best results. A samovar is worth ten dollars in gold in the making of perfect tea, in the tea rooms depend entirely upon those tall water heaters for the perfect preparation of their afternoon tea, where cup after cup is made in quick succession. And in nearly all the fashionable tea rooms you will see these brass ornamental objects steaming merrily behind tall vases of flowers and surrounded by a regiment of china tea pots. Water can be kept hotter in a samovar than in any other kind of recollection, cylindrical chimney which is packed with charcoal, and as long as the fire lasts the water remains at the proper temperature for tea making. Novice who preside over a samovar often encounter a great deal of difficulty in lighting the charcoal and keeping the fire burning. Where the tea hour extends over a long period and hot water must be at hand all the time the samovar requires occasional replenishing both with water and fuel. After the handful or more of charcoal has been dropped into the chimney—and it must be remembered that the charcoal should be sorted and only the good pieces retained, as the others will smoke—a little alcohol poured $2.40 PER YEAR. over the fuel before lighting will start it burning merrily. Afterward one need only glance into the chimney now and then to see that there is enough fuel. Sparks and black cinders will fly upward and then settle over every object, in the room, including the guests, if the coalcar is dropped into the fire carelessly. The proper way is to let it fall gently to the bottom of the chimney or else remove the samarov from the room during the act of replenishing. Studio tea hosts and hostesses favor the samarov on account of the picturesque note it gives in the settings. Others have looked upon the Russian water bottom an affectation, useless and awkward because they did not know how to use it. Restaurants have given it a place of honor on the tea table and consider it essential to perfect tea making and serving. UNIT RULE FOR TREE GROWTH One Inch in Four years is the Swiftest Known. An inch in four years is the swiftest growth known in the race of the trees. Farmers and fruit growers are said to have no reliable unit rule to govern them in knowing how long it takes for a tree to grow an inch, but some carriage makers have found out. They asked about forty of the country's manufacturers drawing their stock from territory where hickory, white oak, ash and tulip trees grow to express and express to them short cross sections of these woods from odds and ends about their shops. These were to be selected for the average width of growth, and the size of each block in cross and 1-4 of an inch thick was to be about one inch lengthwise, across and one fourth of an inch thick. They examined these blocks carefully and marked on each block a one-inch space across the average size of growths of the annular rings. They then counted the number of rings within the inch space on each block, and registered the total in ink there. Then they counted these totals on an ornamental kinds of timber submitted, and in the usual way thus ascertained the average number of years required for PIRE ROOM each kind of tree to grown one inch. An inch growth on one side represented, of course, two inches growth to the tree. They submitted the count, process and result to unquestionable scientific authority. Their general conclusions was that it takes from four to five years for a tree to increase one inch in diameter. Hickory trees vary in height from 7.7 years, according to their location in the west of the Alleghenies. Oak required 4.68 years for the inch, ash 4.91 and poplar four years. Partridges In Maine A feature of this year's hunting season in the Maine woods has been the abundance of partridges. Commenting on the matter, the Kennebec Journal says: "A well known Eastern Maine guide claims that the hedgehog law passed by the legislature four years ago and repealed last season has had the indirect effect of giving the partridges a chance to multiply. The law authorized the payment of a bounty law resulted, and while it was in force resulted in killing porcupine almost to the point of extinction. This man says that the hedgehogs eat the eggs of the partridges and now that there are so few of them many more eggs have a chance to hatch." The Easy Descent. Mrs. Humphrey Ward, during her American visit, condemned, at a ladies uncheon in New York, for her degraded man in order to uplift him. "A painter who I know visited one day the studio," she said, "of a dissipated and rather worthless friend. "I am going to be married," said the worthless one, "Miss Blank, you know her. She's a sweet girl, and too good for me." "Don't let that worry you," said the other, dryly. "You will soon drag her down to your level." AVE YOU READ THE APPEAL?

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1908. A WONDERFUL PROPHESY Some years ago the assertion was made by a representative of THE APPEAL before a congressional committee that there were 30,000,000 of people with African blood in their veins in America. This created considerable consternation and the matter was the subject of much conjecture and discussion. But now comes the famous Mrs. Lillie Devereux Blake, who also created something of a sensation at a meeting of the Society of Political Stud; at the Hotel Astor, New York, a few days since in a discussion of "Criminals," by saving: "White blood now is so mixed with black blood that the real Negro is being wiped out. In ten decades from me I do not suppose there will be one left and everybody, broadly speaking, will have a strain of Negro blood in their veins. I CANNOT SAY THAT THEY WILL REGRET IT." It does seem to be pretty good, strong blood, too; and, men with it flowing through their veins have left their imprints on the pages of history.

Tanner; the wonderful history of the great Fredrick Douglass and coming down to today whose work has made a more permanent impression than that of Dr. Booker T. Washington? But why attempt to enumerate. By the way, Judge Taft's address at the recent unveiling of the monument to the prisonship martyrs, reminds THE APPEAL that there was a number of Afro-Americans among the prisoners upon those vessels. One of the most prominent of these was the father of the late Prof. Geo. B. Vashon of Pittsburg, who was a prisoner on the Jersey. Perhaps Mrs. Lillie Devereaux Blake may be more of a prophet than many will be willing to admit. STILL HARPING ON MY DAUGHTER. An Alabama judge recently made an address to a local club in Chicago, the object of which was to present an argument in favor of the repeal of the 15th amendment. Like all the arguments of the Southern brother in connection with that subject, the effort was notable for its complete and complacent ignoring of the most obvious facts and attempted concealment of real conditions. For instance, one of the astounding assertions was the following: "Unsolved, the race problem remains an unfortunate political condition; it means that the South shall be recorded as a part of the union, but shut off from any real participation in the administration of its affairs; it means the Southern white man will continue to be a political slave, just as much as the Negro was a chattel slave before his emancipation. Now, the real fact is that the South or what the judge meant by that term, has privileges, immunities and perquisites enjoyed by no other section, as a short enumeration will show. Millions of dollars of Northern money have been spent to promote education in the South; but when did the South ever spend one penny to promote education in the North? The South has at least 40 representatives in congress more than it would have HON E. W. URBAM Assistant Treasurer Republican National Committee, Who Successfully Handled the Financial Campaign of the West. if it were a part of the North. A few dozen of votes sends Heflin to congress; it requires thousands to send Uncle Joe Cannon there. The North builds the railroads, the factories, the lumber mills and everything else that amounts to anything in the South; while the South, like the daughters of the horse leech cries, "Give, give." In the late election, no one prevented the South from casting every vote for presidential electors to which she was entitled, according to population; if she chose to throw them away, whose fault was it? And, of course, it takes fewer votes to choose a presidential elector down South than it does up North. So far is it from being true that the Southern white man is a political slave, the real fact is that it is wonderful that the North so tamely submits to the discriminations made in favor of the South. At the Catholic Missionary Conference held in Chicago, Father John Burke of New York City said: "The curse of God will rest on the church in America if it does not avail itself of the opportunity of evangelizing the Afro-American. "It is the only church that can bring unity and order and good citizenship out of the present lamentable chaos into which the race has fallen in our country. 'Be prudent' has been the cry which, being intrepeated, means, 'do nothing.' There is prejudice among the Afro-Americans, but it is that belonging to the child of ignorance. To no other race do the ministrations of priests and sisters appeal so much. There will be no race question when the white man keeps the golden rule." While not agreeing in toto with these sentiments, THE APPEAL is glad to notice the fact that the great Catholic church is awakening to its duty to the Afro-American. Thus far, the Catholic church has done almost nothing in that direction compared with what the Congregationalists and Methodists have done. It has but few schools and no colleges for the race in any part of the country. That is not the kind of record the strongest church in the land ought to have. THE APPEAL has for a long time advanced as its most effective argument against the barbarous custom of lynching the contention that, in process of time, the lynchers would themselves be the victims of lawless violence and that thereby public sentiment would be turned against it. The time has arrived in one section at least; that is in the state of Tennessee. In a late issue of the Memphis Commercial we find the following: "No plea of justification, no story of past transactions, no story of any alleged wrongs suffered by fishermen and no story of alleged suppression Chiffo The Famous Educator Who Makes An Appeal to the Afro-American of the South. on the part of the owners of the lake has any businesses in the trial. Men have done murder in Obion county and the good people of Obion county have only one problem before them, and that is the hanging of the murderers." It remains to be seen whether or not the Tennessee Journal will have the courage and good sense to demand the hanging of the murderers in every case of lynching. If it does not, it will be an admission that murder is necessary and justifiable in some cases with the murderers as judges in re. That profound philosopher, eminent statesman and erudite editor, Hon. Josephus Daniels of North Carolina, has his own idea—perhaps several of them—in respect to the non-election of Mr. Bryan. And what is more to his credit, he has the courage of his convictions and lets fly in the following impressive and depressive language: "The defeat of the Nebraskan does not injure that foremost private citizen of the world. It merely shows that, having abdicated to Roosevelt and Rockefeller, the people who cast their votes against him are not worthy to have Bryan at the head of the Republic." The language is depressive, because it entirely upsets our conceptions as to the worthiness of the American people. Heretofore we have regarded the American people as the salt of the earth; now it is demonstrated that they are the offscourings of Hades. And some of them live in North Carolina—more's the pity. It is to be hoped that hereafter Mr. Daniels will trek to some more worthy country; say Montenegro or Senegambia. Our Southern brethren are always whining and whimpering about the DR. BOOKER T. The Famous Educator Who Makes A Sou t fancied wrongs they endure, but who ever heard of one of them manifesting any gratitude for the benefits which Northern men are continually showering upon them. Henry H. Rogers has spent $31,000,000 in building a railroad in Virginia, and Henry M. Flagler $25,000,000 for one in Florida; but who ever heard of Dixie ever giving them any thanks? Still, Mr. Bryan recently told some of his Texas admirers that he was ready to run again if the Democracy wants him to do so. That's mighty good news to the G. O. P. Tuskegee Institute Notes President-elect William H. Taft and Dr. Booker T. Washington are to deliver addresses at an educational meeting in Carnegie Hall on Feb. 9, 1905. Dr. Booker T. Washington of the Tuskegee Institute delivered an address before the students of Oberlin College, Oberlin, Ohio, the first week in October, and before the students of Brown University, Providence, R. I., the first week in November. While at Brown University he was the guest of Dr. H. Faunce, the president of the university. The Tuskegee Institute, of which Dr. Booker T. Washington is principal, has recently received the legacies: From the estate of Mrs. C. C. Williams, Lake Mills, Wis., $2,000; from the estate of Andreson Martin, Knoxville, New York, $6,000; estate of Mary E. Haskell, Newton, Mass., $1,000. NOTES ON RACIAL PROGRESS. As Reported by the National Business League. A syndicate of Afro-Americans, with Dr. R. H. Boyd as the prime mover, has established a factory for the manufacture of colored dolls; the enterprise seems to be meeting with success. James L. Saunders of Arkansas sold recently 36 bales of cotton to the Goldman Cotton Company in Little Rock. The cotton was a long staple and sold for 9¼ cents per pound. It was raised on his own farm and he received for it $1,626.75. J. B. Britts of Fulton, Mo., put up over 10,000 cans of tomatoes, beans, corn, pumpkins, sweet potatoes and fruit this season. The fruit and vegetables were all raised on his farm. He feels so encouraged over the results of his work in this line that he intends putting in a larger canning plant next year and increase the acreage of his truck gardening accordingly. The Afro-Americans of Richmond, Va., own and control 4 banks, 4 clothing stores, 5 drug stores, 2 first-class hotels, 4 livery stables, 5 printing establishments, 8 fraternal insurance companies and 7 meat markets. They also conduct an insurance and banking company with a surplus of over $300,000, necessitating the employment of 80 clerks. Besides these, there are 50 restaurants and many other business enterprises. The Afro-American and the Public Schools of the South. To the Colored People of the South: This is the third time that I have had the privilege of speaking to you in this way upon what I consider the most vital subject, outside of religion, that concerns our race. Action upon it cannot be delayed or omitted without the most serious consequences to this and succeeding generations. I refer to the education or our colored children in the country where from 80 to 85 percent of our people live. In a recent trip through the state of Maryland, was surprised to find, for example that there were rural communities, almost within sight of the dome of the Capitol of the Nation where the public schools for our race are only open from two to two and one-half months during the year. Taking the Southern States as a whole, it is safe to say that the country schools are not in session at $p$ cent longer than four or five months out of the twelve. When we add to it institution in most cases, poor schoolhouses or school buildings apparatus and poorly paid teachers, it is clear that this is a condition demanding the immediate and constant attention of parents, ministers, teachers and leaders of every description. The facilities for public school education in the cities and larger towns are good for the most part, but I know teachers are paid not Afro-American teachers are paid not Afro-American teachers are paid not per month, and out of this they must board themselves. This means practically no school, for a teacher worth more cannot live on such a wage. In order to impress our people with WASHINGTON. An Appeal to the Afro-American of the North. the truth of how far we are behind and with what remains to be done, let me make a comparison: Two years ago each child in the state of Massachusetts had spent upon him as per school population, in the free public schools $26.42, while taking the South as a whole for the same year each Afro-American child had spent 10 cents per school population from 50 cents to $15 in the different Southern States. At such a point any one believe that we can educate our children? Ignorance will grow denser, and crime, lawlessness and inefficiency will increase. Something must be done and that speedily. What is the remedy? Let parents and leaders get into close and sympathetic touch with the local and county and state officials and make known the condition and the needs of the children. If one effort does not succeed, make another and annotate, yourselves, must make your wants known one can or will do it for you. We must be servative and yet polite manner insist upon our proper share of the public school funds. Parents must bear in mind that if they get all the public school fund that is justly due their children, this alone will not provide for the education of their children. Even the white children in the South are not receiving enough money to properly educate them from the public fund. In some ways each community must organize every tax itself and keep taxing itself until each community good schoolhouse and a school term lasting from six to eight months in each year, taught by qualified teachers. I speak to our people now on this subject that they may begin organizing and that they may raise money this fall while our people have it. Now is the time to act. Do not delay another day. This is the season of the year when our people are handling considerable cash as a result of the sale of their crops. This is also the season of the year when they are tempted to throw away thousands of dollars in unwise directions. I urge them to use some of the money this fall that would throw away in providing for the education of your children. We must learn to make sacrifices. It is better that we go without proper clothing, that we go hungry, live on bread and water even if necessary, rather than neglect the education of our children. Let each person, teacher or minister, who reads these words, begin at once and stir the people to action in his immediate county. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON.

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 tariffs. 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. Holidays in the 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.

Not for me! Nor will she have bare feet—I think bare fect are disgusting—Ugh!” Miss Garden's expressive shudder was as Parisian as her speech which, though she was born in Scotland, is a polvslot affair, containing many tore French than English words, “I conceive my Salome as very, very young—sixteen perhaps. She will be vers, very thin—lean as a flame.” Miss Garden is, I think, a trifle stouter than she was last year, and gazing at her mature loveliness 1 could not help wondering how she is going (0 make the weight for a Sa. lome so lean—but I didn’t dare ask. A Red-Haired Salome. “iter hair will be red as carrots,” continued the singer. “I have had ‘a xorgeous red wig made for her. Would yon like to see it? ‘Lonise!”” she called fm rapid French to the maid who answered her ring, “bring the porruque of Salome!" While the wig was on its way I looked about Miss Garden’s bedroom a yale-blue symphony, by the way, where we were chatting, and noted the numerous beautiful paintings of nude women, which adorn its wall. On one side of the prima donna’s bed was himg the kneeling figure of an un- draped young girl, ealled “The Cap: tive,” while on the ehiffonieg near by steod a rather Galli¢ picture’ of a phy- Sicion engaged in sounding the lungs of am attractive woman patient, prop: ped up in bed.

Before the maid reappeared I asked Miss Garden to let me see the cos- tum in which she is to dance Salome, if, indeed, it were yistble to the naked eye. But she vowed she would not. Her Salomo, it appeared, was to be veiled in mystery, Ir nothing else. Glimpse of the Costume. Rat the maid had misunderstood her order, and now entered the doorway laden with a cloak of flame-colored silk, elaborately embroidered in ara- besques of vivid blue. Under it were many yards of thinnest organdie, which T identified at once as the sev- en veils. wake that away, I said ‘the wig," commanded Miss Garden quickly, and the Salome costume disappeared like a flash through the door, “Yes, that was my Salome ¢loak,” admitted the singer. “{ come on in it. When I begin the dance I take off my sandals, and’ lo you know, I re- move the seven yells one by one. At the tearing off of the seventh veil there is a momentary effect of nudity. But it is an effect. I will wear flesh- ings coming above my waist and made with tocs—" Here Salome’s wig was brought— an incredibly red mop of rather short hair, which Miss Garden took and fingered longingly. “You see, it is made with a tringe— what you call a bang,” she explained, “and that will add to Salome's young look.

She will be free, careless, ‘insoucl- ante!” “She will ask for John the Baptist’s head, because she realizes that it is the only way she can attain this man, whom she loves violently the moment she sees him. Of course, her trouble is cerebral in a measure. But she is a type of her time, when people lived according to their vices, shall I say? Atfd now,” concluded Miss Garden, “let me ask you a question: Of course, the production of ‘Salome’ is viewed properly here as an artistic event; but why all this extraordinary interest so early?” I explained as briefly as I could about the “Salome” craze which has Deen so rampant in New York that a man when asked by a waiter the day after he had seen Gertrude Hoffman if he wished his potatoes with their Jackets on, replied: “No, he wanted them nude.” ‘Then I learned from Miss Garden that Paris until recently has insisted upon having its dances with much more than their jackets off. Nude Dancing in Paris. “Until this year,” she said, “many dancers have appeared absolutely nude in the vaudeville houses in Pa- ris. I think the most beautiful thing I ever saw was a young girl of about seventeen who danced with nothing on but the narrowest piece of gold net with meshes about her. She was perfectly formed, and her dance didn’t shock me a bit: And looking about the house I could see none of that screwing up of opera glasses that marks a disgusting performance. But they have stopped these things in Paris now, and, of course, America would never tolerate them—not in a thousand years.” Isle of Wight, ‘The Isle of Wight inhabitants are not alone in speaking of “going to England” when they leave their own fragment of the kingdom. Apatriotic Cornishman also “goes to England” when he crosses the Tamar. Similar. ly, inhabitanfs of the Balkan peninsu- la talk of “going to Europe” when they leave their own corner of the continent in curious contrast with the people of Great Britain, They re- gurd themselves as both of and in “Europe,” and accordingly it is only “the continent” that they visit. The record in the splendid isolation line is probably held by that minister of the Cumbraes, in the Clyde, who prayed for a blessing upon “the inhabitants of Great and Little Cumbrae and the adjacent islands of Great Britain and Ireland.” ‘The Simplest Method.
