The Appeal

THE APPEAL KEEPS IN FRONT BECAUSE: 1-It aims to publish all the news possible. 2-It does so impartially, wasting no words. 3-Its correspondents are able and energetic. AMERICAN DEBUT OF YOUNG RUSSIAN PIANIST 44 younger Russian pianists who is making a brilliant name for herself—her American debut was with the Russian Symphony society in Carnegie hall. She was born in Odessa, Russia, moving while a child with her parents to Moscow, in which city her father is a prominent journalist. She entered as conservatory there, studied under Meyer in four years completed the nine years' study, and the years of her study she appeared in Moscow and St. Petersburg in concert. Mr. Modest Altschuler, the celebrated conductor of the Russian Symphony society, relates the peculiar circumstances under which he first met Tina Tina Lerner, the eminent Russian pianist.

There she finished a tour with Kubelik. Mr. Altschuler had to leave for Switzerland the same evening, and did not think he could make the call, but Mr. Metzel was so enthusiastic in his elation that Altschuler consented, and together they drove to Miss Lerner's apartment. Mr. Altschuler was astonished at the striking likeness of Miss Lerner to Miss Anna Held. Speaking of this, Mr. Altschuler said last night: "The resemblance between Miss Lerner and Miss Anna Held is remarkable. The same features, the same expression and the same bewitching eyes. I have never seen a more attractive young girl in all my travels. "Regarding her playing I would compare Miss Lerner to any of our well known pianists, as her art is unique, peculiar of her own, and the most pleasing I ever had the pleasure of hearing." She has studied with Gododsky, one of the greatest artists in the world, where playing is distinguished with women.

Washington Man Close to the Top When It Comes to Feeding. My good friend, Alfred Angus Early, who has been doing the—I mean doing things for the national committee during the campaign—is getting fat, writes Irving C. Norwood in the Washington Star. The scales register something like 250 pounds now, with a tendency to trip at a slightly higher figure with each succeeding week. Recently Mr. Early got worried. He sought his family doctor and laid his troubles before him. "I'm not much of an eater, Doc," said he. "I have my breakfast at eight in the morning and I neve get hungry much before ten. Even then I don't indulge myself. Usually if I find myself uncomfortably empty I drop into a Dutch restaurant and have a tub of suds, with some sauerkraut and frankfurters, and that carries me over till noon, when I have my lunch, and admit it is usually a pretty sure meal. During the afternoon I seldom eat more than a couple of times, with an occasional drink to wash it down, and I have my dinner rather early, so that I sometimes get hungry a couple of times during the evening." The learned physician kept a straight face. "I can say only one thing," he remarked, gravely; "you must not eat so much. You positively must not. You simply must promise me that you will limit yourself to a short day. If you do not I can't answer your consequences—fatty degeneration and all that sort of thing, you know." Mr. Early sighed and sighed again and tried to appear resigned. "All Right, Doc," said he, "if I must, I must! But it's hard, it's blamed the sportsman. However, I promise, Bug, Doc on the team, isn't eating the king of indoor sports?" To Eat or Not to Eat? That much mooted question, whether the wives of the members of the cabinet shall serve refreshments on their days at home crops up as surely as the season comes around. The pros and cons are discussed and always the debate ends in a "do as you please." It saves an endless amount of trouble to do without refreshments, but the lack of seeming hospitality is painful to some hostesses and they try to undertake the "eating" of the crown and so earn the right to laugh at many and provide ingredients that always follow the route to the refreshment table. And the one who remembers Washington "hefo" the wah" and through the Cleveland administration will show open disapproval at the offer of "a cup of tea" instead of salad and punch. But the capital has grown ever since the days when the late William C. Whitney was secretary of the navy and provided champagne and terrapin for Mrs. Whitney's callers on Wednesday, and when Mrs. John G. Carlisle offered hot biscuits and home made salad with the hospitality of Katherine K. provision of food would be much easier to be like turning one's house into a restaurant except for the receipts. So it remains to be seen what January will bring forth, for the official receptions will not begin until after the new year, although all of the women of the cabinet circle and many of the wives of senators will receive informally on their days for their particular friends. Offered to Help Out Friend Charlie Hamilton, who came to Washington with Admiral Cockburn back in 1812, and, with that foresight which has been his distinguishing characteristic ever since, saw such a wonderful future in store for Washington that he remained and grew up with the capital; stopped me on the Row the other afternoon. "Hist!" he said, or words to that effect, taking me by the arm. I histed and he led me around corners, up and down streets, back and forth, and around about, until, finally, we brought up in the shadow of the monument. He paused. So did I. "You write rotten poetry," said Charles. "Thanks." said I. "So," he continued, "I sat down the other evening and dashed off a little Christmas poem. It's a blamed fine poem. I'll let you have it for publication the Saturday before Christmas. You can sign your name to it." He turned back to the Row—Irving C. Norwood, in Washington Star. Blaming the Teeth. It is to the teeth that the pathologist should first look for an explanation of those emotional crises in the lives of all of us which assume now the form of an exaggeration of the sentiment of romantic love, again an intensification of insomnia, and sometimes a development of religious sensibility to the boundary line of mania, if Current Literature may be trusted. Not only is toothache the cause, but disease of a dental nature involving no pain whatever to the victim works its havoc and leads men and women to madhouses and domestic miseries and every kind of excess. Seek Proper Championship. Life's best school is living with people. Living alone nourishes much that is not good and beautiful in human nature. It promotes selfishness. It gives self-concet an undue opportunity for growth and development. It permits us to do too much as we please, which is bad training for any one of us. One can never grow into true nobleness of character, sweetness of disposition and beauty of life living in solitude.—J. R. Miller. Defective Page When we think of a railway we generally think of the locomotives and cars which make up the trains, the track on which they move and the deposits and booking offices where we get our transportation, says Chamberlain Journal. So one would imagine that most of what a railway company needs to buy is its rolling stock, the rails and ties for its engines. But such are only a few necessities of a great modern system, which cross the United States. Indeed, the money expended on articles which would not occur to us is so large that it seems beyond belief. The fact is that such a railroad must provide a multitude of things, especially where it operates cars where travelers can not only sleep but have their meals as in a hotel. So the company may employ a purchasing company who might better be called the "general keeper." He buys necessities for the travelers and deposits; and it is a part of his business see how much money he can save for the company by selling material which is no longer of any value to it. To give an idea of the importance of "railroad housekeeping," as it might be called, we will take one of the larger companies of the United States whose trains run over several thousand miles of track. During one year the "general housekeeper" purchased and distributed 28,000 brooms to the stations and offices of the company, and 20,000 boxes of soap 25,000 scrubbing brushes and a similar number of towels also figure in the expenditure. The officers of the individual stations and offices resent a formidable army. Upward to 10,000 of these are employed. At many of the small stations the agent is his own housekeeper, ticket taker, telegrapher and general freight agent, but at the larger stations scrubbers and cleaners are employed by the year. The employees and officials of a big railway must have pins, ink, paper even pins. The quantity of pins bounties the general housekeeper and distribute over 2,000,000 the employers weighed over 2,000,000 the pencils 40,000 pencils were also used, and 10,000 of ink. There were enough lead pencils used to reach from Chicago to New York and half way back again if they were placed end to end. The care of the linen of a single trunk line is an important task. No hotel or series of hotels offers a comparison. The napkins and table linen for the dining service of this trallen mount up to thousands of pounds, and the bed linen and bed linet for the sleeping car, represent nearly as many more. The laundry of the sleeping and dining service amounts to an expenditure of $25,000, although it is nearly all done by steam machinery. To keep up the supply of linen upward of 10,000 separate pieces are purchased annually. On this line more money is spent on the table and bed linen than on such apparently important articles as car brackets for a cocoon or cushion seats for passengers. Very careful is the system that every napkin, table cloth, sheet or pillowcase must be accounted for, and not one can be lost without some adequate explanation. So numerous are the dining cars and cafe cars on this railway that to supply them with all the necessary provisions and articles of diet to suit the most fastidious the general housekeeper purchases wholesale quantities all along the line. This railroad system will want upward of 50,000 barrels of flour a year for the dining-car service, 40,000 pairs of poultry, 10,000 quartes of beef and tons of fruit, pastry coffee and vegetables. But the amount of money which the railway housekeeper gets from the wheat that is called waste material (that which is further used to the company), is astonishing. Again referring to this American line, from waste paper alone in 1900, it realized a profit of $5,000. Pens, shingles and nails proved of important value. The total sum of the "scrap heap" of old machinery reached the enormous figure of $1,250,000. Of course the greater part of this waste came from the worn-out locomotives and cars which are sent to the scrap heap after they have ceased to be of further use to the company. But on the small "household items" mentioned upward of $100,000 was realized. Everything is saved, and everything is economically disposed of. Even the ashes are sold or utilized for improving the roadbed. Wind Gauge for Trains. A singular device for the protection of railroad trains crossing a viaduct exposed to heavy winds has recently been employed at Ulverston, England. consists of a wind-gauge fixed at the top of the even winds viaduct. When the wind pressure reaches 32 pounds to the square foot, an contract is made automatically, and bells ring in the signal cabins on each side of the Viaduct. Upon this all trains are detained until the force of the wind abates. The interruption is telegraphed along the line. The danger of very high winds to trains on an exposed bridge or viaduct was tragically illustrated many years ago by the accident Tay bridge disaster in Scotland. LEVELING TRACKS FOR RAILS. The Working of the Whitewash Car—A New Scientific Method. Curiosity is often displayed by travelers over the method employed in making mile after mile of traction so level that scarcely an undulation can be felt as the whizhing train reels off the laps. This levelness is maintained by the "whitewash" car. The "whitewash" car is an ordinary vehicle fitted out with a sort of whitewash magazine. As the cars run over the rails at a moderate gait the developed sense of the division officials notates any inequalities, and at each point a vehicle is driven at a dash of whitewash falls on the tracks at the points where later the working gangs get busy to make things even. This homely "whitewash" car is giving way rapidly, however, to a more modern and scientific arrangement in the way of a handsome coach elegantly fitted out with many comforts and in which to be found a delicate instrument. This latter is so constructed that it registers all unevenness in the tracks on paper, which has indicated on it the mileage and names of stations along the way, so that when a run is completed it will be shown just where repairing needs to be done. The indicating sheet is sent to the proper department heads of the company, and by-them the work of making the roadbed level is prosecuted. Railroad Has Floating Elevator. Promised about two years ago as a small concession to the demand of the grain trade of Philadelphia for a new grain elevator to take the place of the old Girard Point elevator A, which the company to down, the Pennsylvania railroad h. put in service a new floating grain elevator with a capacity for handling 10,000 bushels per hour. These additional harbor facilities have been greatly needed in transferring grain from the grain elevators at Girard Point and Washington avenue to line steamships which take on cargo at their regular piers. The two grain elevators of the Pennsylvania railroad at Philadelphia have an aggregate capacity of 1,600,000 bushels. The Commercial Exchange, speaking for the grain trade of the port, asked for a new modern elevator of 1,500,000 bushels capacity, provided with driers. This the company refused. When it hinted to the Philadelphia & Reading railroad, that company, which has made a point of promoting foreign commerce at Philadelphia, agreed to put in a drier at the Port Richmond elevator, which has 1,000,000 bushels' capacity. The highest elevator is the largest of its kind and harbor. It is equipped with electric lights and the highest grade of machinery. The towers are 70 feet above deck, thus making it possible to rapidly load any modern freight steamship. The length over all is $88\frac{1}{2}$ feet and the depth from the keel to the top of deck is 12 feet. Railroad "Canned Music." The railroads of this country might well adopt for the entertainment of their travelers a new feature intro-duced by the Great Central Railroad of England. It has placed phonographs in its dining cars and its passengers may now listen to the voices of Melba, Tetrazzini, Caruso and many of the other grand opera stars while, speeding to his or her destination. The Stop. J. Hampton Moore, Philadelphia member of the Waterways and Forestry Preservation commission, was describing, on his return from Europe, a wretched railroad in Brittany. "I never imagined such slow trains existed," said Mr. Moore. "They are certainly tedious to ride on. They bore you dreadfully. "All sorts of stories—very likely one—were told about the Breton trains. Thus it is said that one day, when an express pulled up in the middle of a dreary field of gray rocks, a passenger put his head out of the window and shouted angrily to the conductor: "Well, what have you stopped this time for?" "Engineer's dropped his cigarette, sir," was the reply." Rides on Ticket of 1859. A railroad ticket issued in 1859 was tendered the conductor by a passenger on train No. 4, which left Pittsburgh for the east at 8:30 o'clock. The ticket was issued by the Louisville & Lexington Railroad Company, and read: "Good for one first-class passage between Cincinnati, Ohio, and Washington, D. C." It was so worn with age, however, that great difficulty was experienced in deciphering the full name of the railroad. The conductor telegraphed to the superintendent of passenger transportation at Philadelphia for instructions and was advised to honor the ticket.—Pittsburg Dispatch.

Rare Deer Killed in Maine. Hanging in front of a store at Deering Centre this week was a rare specimen of the deer, family. It was spotted in a manner which old hunters said they never before say the like of. It seems to be a cross between an albino and the common North American deer. Besides its peculiar marking it is a good sized animal, weighing probably 200 pounds. Albert H. Small, the court stenographer, shot this deer during his recent hunting trip in the Rangley region, the game being secured at Middle Dam. Natives of that section who have been hunting all their lives declared it was the first deer of the sort they ever saw. --- $2.40 PER YEAR.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 2. 1909. ELLA WHEELER WILCOX'S DEFENSE OF RACE. The Afro-American race is certainly indebted to Mrs. Ella Wheeler Wilcox for the eloquent defense she makes in a recent article. A brief extract will give a good idea of the general tone of the article. Miss Wilcox says: "The Negro has not failed; he has not proven himself incapable. He has, on the contrary, shown amazing power to rise out of the awful ignorance imposed upon him by the savage conditions of his native land and later by the fetters placed upon him by the white race. "In every city of the United States may be found able, educated and successful colored people, poets, artists, craters, actors, musicians, attorneys, editors, elocutionists, teachers, clergymen and scholars, besides good business men and women." Yet we think that Mrs. Wilcox is a little unfair in the following criticism: "All over America, wherever the colored people have settled in communities, there is a painful evidence of their lack of pride in the making W. H. HON. W. H. TAFT. President-elect William H. Taft addressed the North Carolina Society of New York City, Monday night. Mr. Taft said in part: "I come at once to the present condition of things, stated from a constitutional and political standpoint. And that is this: That in all Southern States it is possible, by election laws prescribing power qualifications for the suffrage which square with the fifteenth amendment and which shall be equally administered as between the black and white races, to prevent entirely the possibility of a domination of Southern state, county or municipal governments by an ignorant electorate, white or black. It is true that the sooner such laws which adopted are applied with exact equality, justice to the two races the better for the moral tone of the state and community." "Negroes should be given opportunity, equally with whites, by education and thrift, to meet the requirements of eligibility which the state legislatures in their wisdom shall lay down in order to secure the safe exercise of the electoral fran- of an attractive home. Well dressed men and women come forth from dingy homes, ugly from the lack of a little paint or whitewash, and where the light of day straggles through unwashed and uncurtained windows." THE APPEAL thinks that much of this condition arises from the fact that so many of the Afro-Americans are renters and that they are compelled to occupy dilapidated houses in undesirable localities and to pay enormous rentals for them. The white people will not rent to them houses of any other description. Mrs. Wilcox, under the same circumstances, would not invest many nickels in paint or whitewash. AN ATROCIOUS STEAL. With all due respect to the decision of the supreme court in the Berea College matter, THE PEAELI wishes to say that the taking of property from the Afro-American race is no less than a most atrocious steal. That property was purchased with funds collected by the old abolitionists for the benefit of the Afro-American. The money was given for that express purpose. The founder of the institution, Rev. John G. Fee, was an old abolitionist and the money was collected from the old abolitionists for the uses and purposes above mentioned. The state of Kentucky ought to pay every cent of it to the race to which it belongs. Ex-Governor Vardaman is of course inclined to think that the recent victory of Jack Johnson over Tommy M. B. Who Will Be Rewarded for His Efficient Work in the Election of President Taft. chise. The Negro should ask nothing other than an equal chance to quality himself for the franchise, and when that is granted by law and not denied by executive discrimination, he has nothing to complain of. "The proposal to repeal the 15th amendment is utterly impracticable and should be relegated to the limbo of forgotten issues. What we are considering is something practical, something that means attainable progress. It seems to me to follow, therefore, that there is or ought to be a common ground upon which we can all stand in respect to the race question in the South, and its political bearing, that takes away any jurisdiction for maintaining the continued solidity of the South to prevent the so-called Negro domination. "The fear that in some way or other a social equality between the races shall be enforced by law or brought about by political measures really has no foundation, except in the imagination of those who fear such a result. The federal government has nothing to do with social equality." Burns will cause the bosoms of the Afro-Americans to swell with pride and that they will get "fresh" toward white people. We have no doubt the victory of Johnson hurt the old ex., and the fact that it hurt him gives us great joy. And, if the Afro-Americans do feel a little chesty when they think of the fact that one of them is the heavyweight champion of the world in the "manly art of self defense," can they be blamed? But ex-Governor (and thank God it is ex.) Vardaman need not worry. We will wear our laurels with becoming decorum. We are not likely to go daffy over a pugilist, though we may have a spasm of delight over the fact that in that line as well as all others we can make good if given a fair show. In a recent address Prof. Woodrow Wilson said: "It is futile to talk of a 'return' to anything. Our economic conditions are such as have hitherto been unknown. We must hark forward. "The conservatism which should be sharply distinguished from this false and bastard conservatism, which is merely reactionary, is the conservatism which seeks a return to old and well recognized principles." Wisely said; but can a party dominated by such an incumbrance as the Solid South "hark forward?" Can the leopard change his spots? The Tennessee night riders are still onto their job, as shown by their attack upon soldiers on guard duty at aumber mill. The result was a pitched battle. And the Coeducation for the Races. Berea. College is an institution chartered in Kentucky for the education of the white and black races alike. It dates from the period of the Civil war and it seems that for more than a generation children of both races studied there together, side by side. But in 1904 the legislature of Kentucky passed a statute for forbidding the coeducation of the black children and white children. The supreme court of the United States has recently affirmed the validity of this statute as applied to Berea College. The court found it unnecessary to pass a broad question of its applicability to individuals, but upheld it as against a corporation of the state of Kentucky, under the reserved power to alter or amend corporate charters. The court, Mr. Justice Brewer writing the opinion, brushes aside the suggestion that the statute must be valid in any aspect or must fall altogether. "There is no force" it is said, "in the suggestion that the statute, although clearly separate, must stand or fall as an entirety on the ground that the legislature would not have enacted one part unless it could reach all. That the legislature of Kentucky decided to separate the teaching of white and colored children may be conceded, but it by no means follows that it would not have enforced the separation so far as it could do, even though it could not make it effective under all circumstances. In other words, it is not at all unreasonable to believe that the legislature, although advised before hand of the constitutional question, might have prohibited all organizations and corporations under its control from teaching white and colored children together, and thus made at least uniform official action." Regarding the actual question upon which the opinion is based, it is said: when the opinion is based, it is said: "It is undoubtedly true that the reserved power to alter or amend is subject to some limitations and that under the guise of an amendment a new contract may not always be enforceable upon the corporation or the stockholders; but it is settled that a power reserved to the legislature to alter, amend, or repeal a charter authorizes it to make any alteration or amendment of a charter granted subject to it, which will not defeat or substantially impair the object of the Griffon Chiffo grant, or any rights vested under it, and which the legislature may deem necessary to secure either that object or any public right. . . . We need concern ourselves only with the inquiry whether the first section of the Kentucky law can be upheld as coming within the power of a state over corporate creatures. We are of the opinion that it does come within that power." The decision seems less extreme than the case of Security Mut. Life Ins. Co. v. Prewitt, 202 U. S. S. 246, which held that a state might in pursuance of statute forfeit the charter of a foreign insurance company for removing a case from the state courts to a United States court.

Regarding that as the question, he proceeds to state some rather startling consequences which in his judgment follow from the decision, and which of course his associates are as far as he from sanctioning. "If the lower court be right," he says, "then a state may make it a crime for white and colored persons to frequent the same market places at the same time, or appear in an assemblage of citizens convened to consider questions of a public or political nature in which all citizens, without regard to race, are equally interested. Many other illustrations might be given to show the mischievous, not to say cruel, character of the statute in question, and how inconsistent such legislation is with the great principle of the equality of citizens before the law."-Law Notes, Northport, N. Y. 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 gen- our colored children in the country districts where from 80 to 85 percent of our people live. In a recent erations. I refer to the education or trip through the state of Maryland I 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 as present longer than four or five months out of the twelve. When we add to this condition, in most cases, poor schoolhouses or no schoolhouses, little 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 country public school education in the cities and large towns are good for the most part, but know of counties where Afro-Americans teachers are paid not more than $15 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 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 upon him as per school population from 50 cents to $1.50 in the different Southern States. At such rate, does any one believe that we can educate our children? Ignorance will grow denser, and crime, lawlessness and in efficiency 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 another. You, yourselves, must make knowledges known. We must in a firm, conservative and get politic 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 educa the cutter tion 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 way each community must organize effort to tax itself and keep taxing itself until each community has a tax rate that is at least 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 you to use some of the money this fall that you would throw away in providing for the proper education of your children. We must, as a race, 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.

E. A. O. Nobles with Shrine. And there was a large crowd attending and "and then some" and all the pilgrims having very large time crossing the burning sands, resting under the palms at the oasis and quenching their thirst with camel's milk. A very able instructive and entertaining address was made by Deputy imperial Potentate, W. R. Morris, after which the caravan started across the inspiring music furnished by the Madam Hale McCullough orchestra. A very unique, elaborate and beautiful souvenir program embossed and printed in seven colors was presented to each guest. The ladies, of which there was a host, were, of course, beautifully and most handsomely gowned, and the scene was strong swayed in the ternschoencharis divertements was soul-inspiring. The grand march which was led by the 26 Nobles present and in which 60 couples took part was a feature of the evening. The ladies who were connected with the older on their husbands' side served the refreshments in the dining room the tables being in the form of a Maltese cross. Everybody present had a good time and it goes without saying that whenever the Nobles start a caravan toward the Mecca there will be a host of followers. Frozzan Temple are: Jose H.

The Next Attraction at the Star Thea- Ars When the "Empire Circuit organized their shows this year they put in a new one called "The Frolicleams Lambs" and their object was to make it one of the strongest on the road. And to that end they have engaged such well known artists as Miss May Kinsley known as the Queen of the Porcelain, who can sing; the Sisters Cardwell, England's great character dancers; Antrim & Peters, travesty sketch artists; Browning & LaVan, comedy parodists; Kitty Pembroke and a chorus of 25 shapey maidens with costumes that are marvels of beauty. "Two musical burlesques, "The Lambs Lambs" on a review of the three topics of the day and "At Monaco," a satire on the great gambling craze at Monte Carlo. Special scenery is carried for both productions and the musical numbers are all the latest Broadway hits. Press and public are universal in pronouncing this one of the greatest singing shows in the world at the Star Theatre for one week only with matinees daily. Extra attraction, the great LaDud, the Boneless Wonder. "THE PRINCE OF SWINDLERS." The Next Attraction at the Grand Theater. Everyone is interested in Commodore Peary and his perilous attempts to plant the Stars and Stripes at the North Pole. It is intrepid explorer on his way again with the good wishes of America's favorite son, Theodore Roosevelt! Some time before his last trip, Mr. Peary and Owen Davis, who is a warm personal friend, spent several vacation weeks together. It is said that Peary recounted an adventure, a battle between a brave man and thieves in the far unyielded bride of the Arctic region with which Mr. Davis was so impressed the entire episode in one of his latest dramas, "The Prince of Swindlers." A complete set of views showing the scenes of that remarkable conflict were secured from the explorer and then scenic artists proceeded to reproduce the effect. The effect is one of the most startling ever seen on any stage. The story is that of a young man of fortune, it showed how false friends robbed him. He meets an innocent girl, falls in love and is thwarted at every side. From the beginning to end there is excitement, pathos, comedy and surprises. Under the management of A. H. Wheeler, the man comes to the Grand Opera House for one week, beginning with a matinee to-morrow at 2:20. FIVE DOLLARS IN GOLD.

Harry B. Wood of Manchester possesses probably the most valuable collection of golf curios in the world. His club museum is unique. There is a fine specimen of a left handed club, once the property of the famous champion Thomas Robertson, better known at St. Andrews as "Kill the Cuddie" from his having accidentally killed a donkey with a golf ball Among other clubs collected by Mr. Wood are several by a famous maker named Philps, whose clubs were in great demand in the early part of the nineteenth century. They have been sold in museums, though not with more success than has crowned the efforts of violin makers who have sought to reproduce the perfect form and rich tone of a Stradivarius. Used and owned successively by old Tom Morris, his sons Jimmy and young Tom is a putter which bears all the characteristics of Philps' clubs—the gracefully modeled neck, the fine contour of the head, the grain of the wood and tapering shaft. Another specimen is a fine baffy spoon, formerly the property of Mr. Fulton, who used to play golf in the early days of the Manchester club, founded in 1818. The head is made of apple wood and the joint is wrapped with thick, coarse twine, the strands of which were rolled together and affixed to the joint. There is also a purler made in 1870 and a chin-exampler and brother to "Lang Geordei," a a. St. Andrews player famous for overcoming stifles. How Fast Wind Travels. Most people at some time or other have used the expression "went like the wind" wishing to convey the idea of extraordinary velocity. Coming down to actual figures, however, the wind is not such a speedy traveler after all. The month of March more than any other in the year has a wind record, so the figures supplied by the local weather bureau station for the month just ended will do to illustrate the fallacy of the expression. From the 1st to the 31st the wind movement as registered at the top of the federal building was 8,366 miles, or an average of 278 miles a day for thirty days. Here is an average of only eleven and one-half miles an hour, a speed which even a slow-moving freight steamer approaches. Strange Drum Fish. A drum fish was captured off Sugar Loaf Wednesday by J. M. Berg and placed in the local aquarium. It measured twenty-three inches in length and welged a trifle more than six pounds. This is the largest specimen of this rare fish that has ever been brought in alive. It derives its name from the deep booming sound it emits when in captivity. The curator of the aquarium, J. Vainihich, states that on several occasions, states has been started at night by the stage noise, which would stop on his attempt to see how it was done. WOMAN BUILT A BUNGALOW. Had No Assistance Even In Placing the Big Heavy Rafters A neat little bungalow located in the outskirts of Long Beach, built by a pretty little woman, is attracting attention. The builder is Mrs. Frank Nottingham, who is a prominent worker in the Y. W. C. A. Miss Gertrude Gilbert, matron for the Y. W. C. A. wanted a home, owned a lot and had about $120 with which to erect a house. She knew this would be impossible if she were compelled to hire carpenters at $3 a day, Mrs. Nottingham talked the matter over with her and finally said she would undertake to build it and would not charge her a penny for her labor. Though she had never built so much as a chicken house before, the plucky woman was confident. Armed with a rusty saw, hatchet, plane and level, she started to work. She devoted exactly 100 hours to the undertaking, and a short time ago turned the house over to its owner. The bungalow is 18 by 20 feet in dimensions, and contains seven windows and two doors. Mrs. Nottingham had no assistance, placing the big heavy rafters alone and performing feats a carpenter would shun. "My mother was handy with a hammer," said Mrs. Nottingham, "but other than this I cannot explain my ability to drive a nail." Many Languages of Mexico During the festas of Christmas or the week of All Souls and All Saints, when the Indians swarm down from the mountains with their holiday wares for sale, visitors in the City of Mexico may notice the strange language that the vendors use in addressing each other. Even when they turn to serve the purchaser their Spanish is neither Castilian nor Mexican, but is frequently broken by peculiar syllables and accents. This is merely an illustration of the fact that the Indian languages of old Mexico have not been entirely submerged by the conquering Spanish, and in some of the most remote districts of the républic various and distinct languages handed down from the pre-Columbian era are still spoken in their pristine purity by many tribe members. A Catfish's Timenpiece Henry Schmidt, proprietor of a fish booth in St. Louis, found in the stomach of a forty-eight pound catfish a woman's gold watch and chain. Schmidt has the fish and the watch to substantiate his story and a list of witnesses, who were summoned to the booth immediately after the opening of the unique jewelry store, as long as a candidate's petition. Schmidt says he caught the big Midas fish in the Mississippi at Carroll street and on ice until Thursday. He thinks some excursionists dropped the watch overboard. To Temper the Wind. A mot of Dr. Weir Mitchell, the famous poet and novelist, is going the rounds of the Franklin Inn, a literary club of Philadelphia. On a particularly blustery March morning, the story goes, Dr. Mitchell walked young City Hall square with a young editor. As the two men held onto their hair leaned against the blast, Dr. Mitchell said, "I think a shorn lamb should be kept tethered here, don't you? Providence, then, might be induced to temper the wind." The World's Consumption of The World's Consumption of Coffee. According to statistics published in a leading coffee trade journal, the world's consumption of coffee in 1907 amounted to 16,825,000 sacks, of which 6,980,000 sacks were consumed in the United States, 3,650,000 sacks in Germany, 1,625,000 sacks in France, leaving 5,170,000 for consumption in all other countries. The consul adds that the consumption of coffee in Italy is only 1.44 pounds per capital. Logical. A little five-year-old was begging his mother to buy him a knife.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 2, 1909. ELLA WHEELER WILCOX'S DEFENSE OF RACE. The Afro-American race is certainly indebted to Mrs. Ella Wheeler Wilcox for the eloquent defense she makes in a recent article. A brief extract will give a good idea of the general tone of the article. Miss Wilcox says: "The Negro has not failed; he has not proven himself incapable. He has, on the contrary, shown amazing power to rise out of the awful ignorance imposed upon him by the savage conditions of his native land and later by the fetters placed upon him by the white race. "In every city of the United States may be found able, educated and successful colored people, poets, artists, craters, actors, musicians, attorneys, editors, elocutionists, teachers, clergymen and scholars, besides good business men and women." Yet we think that Mrs. Wilcox is a little unfair in the following criticism: "All over America, wherever the colored people have settled in communities, there is a painful evidence of their lack of pride in the making --- Intentional Duplicate Exposure TERMS, STRICTLY IN ADVANCE: PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT. W. H. HON, W. H. TAFT. President-elect William H. Taft addressed the North Carolina Society of New York City, Monday night. Mr. Taft said in part: "I come at once to the present condition of things, stated from a constitutional and political standpoint. And that is this: That in all Southern States it is possible, by election laws prescribing power qualifications for the suffrage which square with the fifteenth amendment and which shall equally administered as between the black and white races, to prevent entitlement to the possibility of a domination of South state, county or municipal governments, by an ignorant electorate, white or black. It is further sure that the sooner such laws when adopted are applied with exact equality and justice to the two races the better for the moral tone of the state and community concerned. "Negroes should be given an opportunity, equally with whites, by education and thrift, to meet the requirements of eligibility which the state legislatures in their wisdom shall lay down in order to secure the safe exercise of the electoral fran- of an attractive home. Well dressed men and women come forth from dingy homes, ugly from the lack of a little paint or whitewash, and where the light of day straggles through unwashed and uncurtained windows." THE APPEAL thinks that much of this condition arises from the fact that so many of the Afro-Americans are renters and that they are compelled to occupy dilapidated houses in undesirable localities and to pay enormous rentals for them. The white people will not rent to them houses of any other description. Mrs. Wilcox, under the same circumstances, would not invest many nickels in paint or whitewash. AN ATROCIOUS STEAL With all due respect to the decision of the supreme court in the Berea College matter, THE APPEAL wishes to say that the taking of property from the Afro-American race is no less than a most atrocious steal. That property was purchased with funds collected by the old abolitionists for the benefit of the Afro-American. The money was given for that express purpose. The founder of the institution, Rev. John G. Fee, was an old abolitionist and the money was collected from the old abolitionists for the uses and purposes above mentioned. The state of Kentucky ought to pay every cent of it to the race to which it belongs. Ex-Governor Vardaman is of course inclined to think that the recent victory of Jack Johnson over Tommy M. B. HON F. H. HITCHCOCK, Who Will Be Rewarded for His Efficient Work in the Election of President Taft. chise. The Negro should ask nothing other than an equal chance to qualify-himself for the franchise, and when that is granted by law and not denied by executive discrimination, he has nothing to complain of. "The proposal to repeal the 15th amendment is utterly impracticable and should be relegated to the limbo of forgotten issues. What we are something is something practical, something the means attainable progress. It seems to me to follow therefore, that the issue to be a common ground upon which we can all stand in respect to the request question in the South, and its political bearing, that takes away any jurisdiction for maintaining the continued solidity of the South to prevent the so-called Negro domination. "The fear that in some way or other a social equality between the races shall be enforced by law or brought about by political measures really has no foundation, except in the imagination of those who fear such a result. The federal government has nothing to do with social equality." Burns will cause the bosoms of the Afro-Americans to swell with pride and that they will get "fresh" toward white people. We have no doubt the victory of Johnson hurt the old ex., and the fact that it hurt him gives us great joy. And, if the Afro-Americans do feel a little chesty when they think of the fact that one of them is the heavyweight champion of the world in the "manly art of self defense," can they be blamed? But ex-Governor (and thank God it is ex.) Vardaman need not worry. We will wear our laurels with becoming decorum. We are not likely to go daffy over a pugilist, though we may have a spasm of delight over the fact that in that line as well as all others we can make good if given a fair show. In a recent address Prof. Woodrow Wilson said: "It is futile to talk of a 'return' to anything. Our economic conditions are such as have hitherto been unknown. We must hark forward. "The conservatism which should be sharply distinguished from this false and bastard conservatism, which is merely reactionary, is the conservatism which seeks a return to old and well recognized principles." Wisely said; but can a party dominated by such an incumbence as the Solid South "hark forward?" Can the leopard change his spots? The Tennessee night riders are still onto their job, as shown by their attack upon soldiers on guard duty at a bumber mill. The result was a pitched battle. And the Coeducation for the Races. Berea College is an institution chartered in Kentucky for the education of the white and black races alike. It dates from the period of the Civil war and it seems that for more than a generation children of both races skilled there together, side by side. But in 1904 the legislature of Kentucky issued a statute forbidding the coeducation of the black children and white children. The supreme court of the United States has recently affirmed the validity of this statute as applied to Berea College. The court found it unnecessary to pass upon the broad question of its accessibility to individuals, but upheld it as against a corporation of the state of Kentucky, under the reserved power to alter or amend corporate charters. The court, Mr. Justice Brewer writing the opinion, brushes aside the suggestion that the statute must be followed in any aspect or must fall altogether. "There is no force it is said, 'in the suggestion that the statute, although clearly separate, must stand or fall as an entirety on the ground that the legislature would not have enacted one part unless it could reach all. The legislature of Kentucky decided to separate the teaching of white and colored children may be conceded, but it by no means follows that it would not have enforced the separation so far as it could do so, even though it could not make it effective under all circumstances. In other words, it is not at all unreasonable to believe that the legislature, although advised before hand of the constitutional question, might have prohibited all organizations and corporations under its control from teaching white and colored children together, and thus made at least uniform official action." Regarding the actual question upon which the opinion is based, it is said upon which the opinion is based, it is said: "It is undoubtedly true that the reserved power to alter or amend is subject to some limitations and that under the guse of an amendment a new contract may not always be forceable upon the corporation or the stockholders; but it is settled that a power reserved to the legislature to alter, amend, or repeal a charter authorizes it to make any alteration or amendment of a charter granted subject to it, which will not defeat or substantially impair the object of the Griffon Chiffo grant, or any rights vested under it, and which the legislature may deem necessary to secure either that object or any public right. . . . We need concern ourselves only with the inquiry whether the first section of the Kentucky law can be upheld as coming within the power of a state over its own corporate creatures. We are of the opinion that it does come within that power. The decision seems less extreme than the case of Security Mut. Lif Ins. Co. v. Prewitt, 202 U. S. 245, which held that a state might in pursuance of statute forfeit the charter of a foreign insurance company for removing a case from the state courts to a United States court.

The year when ling considerably the sale of the season of the trippee the dollars in unw you to use son fall that you v Mr. Justice Harlan, with whom Mr. Justice Day concurs, files a vigorous dissent, insisting that the statute must stand or fall as an entitley, and that the question which the court must decide is "whether it is a crime under any circumstances to educate white children and Negro children under the same roof." Regarding that as the question, he proceeds to state some rather startling consequences which in his judgment follow from the decision, and which of course his associates are as far as he from sanctioning. "If the lower court be right," he says, "then a state may make it a crime for white and colored persons to frequent the same market places at the same time, or appear in an assemblage of citizens convened to consider questions of a public or political nature in which all citizens, without regard to race, are equally interested. Many other illustrations might be given to show the mischievous, not to say cruel, character of the statute in question, and how inconsistent such legislation is with the great principle of the equality of citizens before the law."—Law Notes, Northport, N. Y. 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 gen- our colored children in the country districts where from 80 to 85 percent of our people live. In a recent erations, I refer to the education or trip through the state of Maryland I 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 as present longer than four or five months out of the twelve. When we add to this condition, in most cases, poor schoolhouses or no schoolhouses, little apparatus and poorly paid teachers, it is clear that this is a condition demanding the immediate and constant attention of parents, ministers, teachers and of every description. The facilities for public school education in the cities are large towns are good for the most part. All counties where Afro-American teachers are paid not more than $15 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 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 spent upon him as per school population in public schools $26.42, while taking the South as a whole for the same year each Afro-American child had spent upon him as per school population from 50 cents to $1.50 in the different Southern States. At such rate, does our children ever can educate our children? In our laws, lawlessness and gun denser, and crime, lawlessness and efficiency 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 another. You, yourselves, must make what was known, no one can or will do it for you, must in a firm, conservative and yet polite manner insist upon our polite 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 educa- THE NEW YORK TIMES tion 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 way each community must organize effort to tax itself and keep taxing itself to each community has a lasting school system 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 you to use some of the money this fall that you would throw away in providing for the proper education of your children. We must, as a race, 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.

The red fez, the "billed shirt front" and evening clothes were very much in evidence at Tschida hall last Tuesday evening, the occasion being the entertainment and grand ball given the treasured possession of Frezzan Temple, No. 26 A, B, C of the Mystic Shrine. And there was a large crowd present and "and then some" and all the pilgrims had a very large time crossing the burning sands, resting on the palms at the oasis and quenching their thirst. A very able instructive and entertaining address was made by Deputy Imperial Potentate, W. R. Morris, after which the caravan started across the desert under the inspiring music furnished by the Madam Hale McCullough orchestra. A very unique, elaborate and beautiful seascape program embossed and printed in seven colors was presented to each guest. The ladies, of which there was a host, were, of course, beautifully and most handsomely gowned, and the scene as the strong swayed in the termischorone divertements was so secluded that the grand march was led by the 26 Nobles present and in which 60 couples took part was a feature of the evening. The ladies who were connected with the order on their husbands' side served the refreshments in the dining room the tables being in the form of a Maltese cross. The good present had a good time and go good saying that whenever the Nobles start a caravan toward the Mecca there will be a host of followers. The officers of Frezzan Temple are: Jose H. Sherwool, Illustrous Potentate William D. Austin, Chief Rabbani, M. H. Esser, Assistant Rabbani, W. F. T. Chan, Chief Rabbani, and Prophet, W. A.

The Next Attraction at the Star Thea- ter When the "Empire Circuit organized their shows this year they put in a new one called "The Frolicsome Lambs" and their object was to make it one of the strongest on the road. And to that end they have engaged such well known artists as Miss May Strehl known as the Burlesque Queen. Queen Carlo, the singer who can sing the Stilts Cardwell, England's great character dancers; Antrim & Peters, travesty sketch artists; Browning & LaVan, comedy parodists; Kitty Pembroke and a chorus of 25 shapey maledicts with costumes that are marvels of beauty. Two musical burlesques, "The Lambs on a Frolic," a review of the leading actress, and "a satire on the great gambling craze at Monte Carlo, Special scenery is carried for both productions and the musical numbers are all the latest Broadway hits. Press and public are universal in pronouncing this one of the greatest singing shows in the wheel. This company will be seen at the theatre for five nights with matinees. Extra attraction, the great LaDud, the Boneless Wonder. "THE PRINCE OF SWINDLERS." The Next Attraction at the Grand Theater Everyone is interested in Commodore Peary and his perilous attempts to plant the Stars and Stripes at the North Pole. This intrepid explorer is on his way again with the good wishes of America's favorite son, Theodore Roosevelt! Some time before his last trip, Mr. Peary and Owen Davis, who is a warm personal friend, spent several vacation weeks together. It is said that Peary recounted an adventure, a battle between a brave man and thieves in the far uncivilized hands of the Artic region with which Mr. Davis was impressed when he incorporated the entire episode in one of his latest dramas, "The Prince of Swindlers." A complete set of views showing the scenes of that remarkable conflict were secured from the explorer and then scenic artists proceeded to reproduce the effect. The effect is one of the most startling ever seen on any stage. The story is that of a young man of fortune, it showed how false friends robbed him. He meets an innocent girl, falls in love and is thwarted at every side. From the beginning to end there is excitement, pathos, comedy and surprises. Under the management of A. H. Wheeler, the comedy comes to the Grand Opera House for one week, beginning with a matinee to-morrow at 2:30.

Wood of Manchester possesses probably the most valuable collection of golf curios in the world. His club museum is unique. There is a fine specimen of a left handed club, once the property of the famous champion Thomas Robertson, better known at St. Andrews as "Kill the Cuddle," from his having accidentally killed a donkey with a golf ball. Thomas Robertson and his Wood are several by a famous maker named Philps, whose clubs were in great demand in the early part of the nineteenth century. They have been extensively imitated in consequence, though not with more success than has crowned the efforts of violin makers who have sought to reproduce the perfect form and rich tone of a Stradivarius. Used and owned successively by old Tom Morris, his sons Jimmy and young Tom is a putter which is the characteristics of Philps clubs—thin the face, the rounded contour of the head, the grain of the wood and tapering shaft. Another specimen is a fine baffy spoon, formerly the property of Mr. Fulton, who used to play golf in the early days of the Manchester club, founded in 1818. The head is made of apple wood and the joint is wrapped with thick, coarse twine, the strands of which were rolled together and affixed to the head of a porter made in 1870 by David Brower-exchampion and brother to "Lang Geordei," a a. St. Andrews player famous for overcoming stimies. How Fast Wind Travels Most people at some time or other have used the expression "went like the wind" wishing to convey the idea of extraordinary velocity. Coming down to actual figures, however, the wind is not such a speedy traveler after all. The month of March more than any other in the year has a wind record, so the figures supplied by the local weather bureau station for the month just ended will do to illustrate the fallacy of the expressive. From the 1st to the 31st the wind movement as registered at the top of the federal building was 8,366 miles, or an average of 278 miles a day for thirty days. Here is an average of only eleven and one-half miles an hour, a speed which even a slow-moving freight steamer approaches. Strange Drum Fish A drum fish was captured off Sugar Loaf Wednesday by J. M. Berg and placed in the local aquarium. It measured twenty-three inches in length and welged a trifle more than six pounds. This is the largest specimen of this rare fish that has ever been brought in alive. It derives its name from the deep booming sound it emits in captivity. The curator of the aquarium, J. Vakulius, states that popular occasions he has been started at night by the strange noise, which would stop on his attempting to see how it was done. WOMAN BUILT A BUNGALOW. Had No Assistance Even in-Placing the Big Heavy Rafters. A neat little bungalow located in the outskirts of Long Beach, built by a pretty little woman, is attracting attention. The builder is Mrs. Frank Nottingham, who is a prominent worker in the Y. W. C. A. Miss Gertrude Gilbert, matron for the Y. W. C. A., wanted a home, owned a lot and had about $120 with which to erect a house. She knew this would be impossible if she were compelled to hire carpenters at $3 a day. Mrs. Nottingham talked the matter over with her and finally said she would, undertake to build it and would not charge her a penny for her labor. Though she had never built so much as a chicken house before, the plucky woman was confident. Armed with a rusty saw, hatchet, plane and level, she started to work. She devoted exactly 100 hours to the undertaking, and a short time ago turned the house over to its owner. The bungalow is 18 by 20 feet in dimensions, and contains seven windows and two doors. Mrs. Nottingham had no assistance, placing the big heavy rafters alone and performing feats a carpenter would shun. "My mother was handy with a hammer," said Mrs. Nottingham, "but other than this I cannot explain my ability to drive a nail." Many Languages of Mexico During the flesta of Christmas or the week of All Souls and All Saints, when the Indians swarm down from the mountains with their holiday wares for sale, visitors in the City of Mexico may notice the strange language that the venders use in addressing each other. Even when they turn to serve the purchaser their Spanish is neither Castilian nor Mexican, but is frequently broken by peculiar syllables and accents. This is merely an illustration of the fact that the Indian languages of old Mexico have not been entirely submerged by the conquering Spanish, and in some of the most remote districts of the républic various and distinct languages handed down from the pre-Columbian era are still spoken in their pristine purity by many tribe members. Catfish's Timeline Henry Schmidt, proprietor of a fish booth in St. Louis, found in the stomach of a forty-eight pound catfish a woman's gold watch and chain. Schmidtt has the fish and the watch to substantiate his story and a list of witnesses, who were summoned to the booth immediately after the opening of the unique jewelry store, as looms a candidate's petition. Schmidtt he caught the big Midas fish Sunday in the Mississippi at Carroll street and kept on ice until Thursday. He thinks some excursionists dropped the watch overboard. To Temper the Wind. A mot of Dr. Weir Mitchell, the famous poet and novelist, is going the rounds of the Franklin Inn, a literary club of Philadelphia. On a particularly blustery March morning, the story goes, Dr. Mitchell walked city Hall square with a young editor. As the two men held onto their hats and leaned against the blast, Dr. Mitchell said: "I think a shorn lamb should be kept tethered here, don't you? Providence, then, might be induced to temper the wind." The World's Consumption of Coffee. According to statistics published in a leading coffee trade journal, the world's consumption of coffee in 1907 amounted to 16,825,000 sacks, of which 6,980,000 sacks were consumed in the United States, 3,650,000 sacks in Germany, 1,625,000 sacks in France, leaving 5,170,000 for consumption in all other countries. The consul adds that the consumption of coffee in Italy is only 1.44 pounds per capital. Logical. A little five-year-old was begging his mother to buy him a knife. She said, "We will wait and ask papa, for you know a part of you belongs to him." After a moment's silence he looked up and said, "But the part that wants the knife belongs to you!" He got the knife. The Cause of Accidents Accidents may be divided into three great classes—those due to carelessness, those due to falling eyesight or falling limbs, and what the lawyers call pure or inevitable accidents, of which there are extremely few. The greatest are, are, are, it may confidently be said, due either to carelessness or recklessness. Effect of Hard Times Mrs. Knicker-Why don't you find work?

He was attempting to get to the storm cave just as the wind was at its highest velocity. When the storm subsided Mr. Scott was in the brakes of, Sand Creek, three miles from home, having been blown through three hog tight wire rences and over some of the roughest country in this section.

After cutting down the tree and smoking the bees out Mr. Edmondson got thirty pounds of the wild honey.

Life **Nickler—Wisdom comes too late to be of much use.** **Nickler—and by the time your lungs are developed you are too big to cry.** 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.

HARRISON SINA J. HARRISON TEMP. Agents Wanted Everywhere. Helps Support the Government and Says So When He Is Arrested "Many a time," said a policeman in the southern part of the city, "when arresting men, especially intoxicated men, I have been told by my prisoner that he was a taxayer and that he helped pay my wages. "I always regarded this sort of back talk as merely drunken insolence and never paid much attention to it until about a year ago, when I bought a house and lot and became myself a taxpayer. I had always rented before and never gave a thought to taxes, but as soon as I moved into my own house I began to appreciate the feelings of men who resented arrest because they paid taxes. "There is certainly a considerable addition to the dignity of the man who helps support the government. He feels a degree of responsibility that a renter or roomer never understands, and my idea is that every man in the country ought to become a taxpayer as soon as he can, and the mere fact that he does help support the government and bears his share of the expense makes him a better citizen. Habitual criminals are rarely taxpayers. They know they may have to run any day and perhaps never come back, so they do not buy real estate, but are roomers and lodgers all their lives." A Pulpit on a Railway Station. Travelers who enter Shrewsbury by the Abbey Foregate station can scarcely fail to observe one of the most remarkable features to be seen at any railway station in the world. This is a pulpit. It stands prominently above the coal wagons and miscellaneous goods trucks of the station yard, an ancient stone structure, to which access is gained by an equally ancient flight of stone steps. This pulpit is the only remaining fragment of the domestic buildings of the once great and powerful Abbey of Shrewsbury. In the olden days it stood in the monks' refectory and was used for preaching from and for reading the lessons while the monks ate their frugal meals. Blackbirds Objected to the Gay Hat. While walking in the suburban districts with a friend, Miss Nettie Williams of Pittsburg was the object of an unusual attack. She wore a hat with a bird of brilliant plumage as an ornament. Suddenly her head became encircled by half a dozen blackbirds, which pecked at the bird in her hat, tearing out the bright colored feathers with their beaks. The blackbirds even flew in her face and lacerated the skin with their bills. Tearing the hat from her head, Miss Williams threw it on the ground. Her escort was obliged to use his coat to beat the birds off. A Practical Explanation. "Ah!" sighed the soulful young woman, sniffing the balmy air, "there's no mistaking the spirit of spring in this glorious perfume in the air—" "But," suggested the practical young man, "maybe that pungent smell ain't so mysterious, after all. I think it's the camphor off the last year's suits so many fellows are wearing to-day." Why, of Course. "How is your promotion scheme coming on?" "Rather slow." "But I thought you were to meet two capitalists last night?" "I did; but they had hardly got together before they discovered that each had a baby just learning to talk, and you can imagine how much of a chance I had to get a word in." It Was Forlorn Horace "I cannot help telling you again I love you. Can you not hold out any hope?" Phoebe (wearily)—"I did hold put one hope, but that's gone now." Horace "What was it? I—" Phoebe "I had hoped you wouldn't mention this subject again." Horrible. Bacon—I see the Englishmen of Mid-Devon have organized to wage war on wood pigeons. Egbert-I should think they would kick. Just imagine trying to eat a pigeon pie made out of wooden pigeons! No Consolation. "You can't buy happiness," exclaimed the sentimentalist. "No," answered the man who is sternly practical. "You can't buy happiness. And at the same time that fact doesn't imply that your comfort is enhanced by being broke." An Unconquerable France. Gametta used to say that "learning on England and Russia, France would be unconquerable." It is interesting to find that in so short a period the dream of the great statesman has almost become a reality. Hoot, Mon! Scott—They say bagpipes are a great help on a battlefield. They prompt men to fight. Dickson—I don't doubt it. Some of those I have heard on the street have often made me feel like fighting. Taking Time by Forelock. Erna—Why did you ask the young poet for a lock of his hair? He is not celebrated at all. Elsa—No, but by the time he is, he won't have any hair left, perhaps.

Sorrows of the Critic. The sorrows of the modern critico are heavy; he must not only defer to the tastes of the many-headed mob, but he must talk to them in their own jargon, lest they should misunderstand him. One would almost accept the privations of Grub street* to have in return a small educated audience, to whom one could talk as one talks with one's own familiar friend, an audience capable of understanding simple propositions. He Got It. "James," said Mr. Rakeley, "I believe you saw me—er—saluting the nursemaid." "Why," yes, sir," replied the butter. "Well, it's best to keep quiet about it. Do you understand?" "Yes, sir," replied James, with upturned palm. "Silence is golden, sir." Ray's Observations. Little Ray, four years old, stood by the window, eagerly watching a gopher or squirrel sitting on its haunches, eating from its forepaws. Suddenly, as it ran off, frisking its tail, Ray called: "Oh, mamma, see! He can wiggle his handle and walk on his hands." Conundrum Club "Why is a woman's heart like an umbrella?" asked the thin boarder. "Cause it's so easily lost," replied the fat girl. "Cause some fool's always looking for one," said the fat man. "No." "Well, we give it up," came the chorus. "Because it isn't considered any harm to steal it." Knicker—Is your dog's bark worse than its bite? Bocker—No; they both cost the same. Weakness follows sickness. The cure for weakness is nourishment. Digesto is nourishment. It is a highly concentrated liquid food, predigested, and during the period of convalescence proves a most valuable aid to nature in her work of reconstruction. --- R.
