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-It its correspondents are able and energetic. VOL. 25. NO. 2. The Only Woman The Only Woman Who Makes Violins To be eighteen years old, very pretty, possessed of a wonderful talent and a wonderful secret worth tens of thousands of dollars, would seem enough to turn any girl's head. The particular young woman, however, who has all this good fortune also has a very level head on her shoulders. She is the only woman violin maker in the world, and she makes violins that sell for hundreds of dollars aplece. Her talent she inherits from her father, the late Karoly de Ferenchy, the greatest violin maker of his time. From him also she inherited the great secret of his marvelous success in his craft, namely the composition of the celebrated Cremonese varnish, which many assert was the secret of the world famous violin makers hundreds of years ago. His life—In his war, where he was born; in Austria, Germany, Holland, and even up to a year ago, when he came to far away America in search of health—he declined to part with his secret, even to his young daughter, who inherited his genius and of whom he was so desperately fond. "My daughter," he would say, "she may marry; then I not teach her the varnish to make." Finally, however, in his deathbed last spring he taught her the mysterious formula. Furthermore, he intrusted to her two models of Parmigiani violins—one of Parmigiani, now guarded night and day in the Palais Municipal, at Genoa, and one of Sarsate's Stradivarius, which is really the property of the queen of Suila. With this equipment and the heritage of her father's genius Alvin de Ferenczy has set up a workshop of her own in New York. There, in a room flooded with sunshine, the writer found this radiant young woman in her artistic working apron bending over her task. She is a decided blonde, of the Teutonic type, with a round, dimpled face, winsome expression and charmingly ingenuous manners. It is a picturesque sight to watch her ah trewkob a u —lsrd(^1) her at her work bench, which is fitted up with a fine equipment of unusual looking tools. Just now she is engaged in making a violin for a noted concert performer. Every bit of wood used in Miss de Ferenczy's violins comes from Hungary. It is usually a singular variety of maple, very hard, and, of course, thoroughly seasoned. She usually tries to keep on hand sufficient material for forty or fifty violins, though, working as rapidly as may be, she can make no more than two a month. In the instrument she is just now covered with spruce, more than two hundred and years old, which her father obtained when a historic church in Budapest was rebuilt a few years ago. The organ and some of the benches were purchased by him, and then cut into shape. Upon each piece he carved his name. When removing from Budapest he sold the wood. A year later he bought it back, but was obliged to pay ten times the original cost to get it. "Does it not seem strange to you to be doing something that no other THE MUSICIAN Wild Geese Around Electric Light. A large flock of wild geese became bewildered at Berlin, Somerset county, recently, and fifty shots were fired at the fowls from the square of the towns as they were circling about the electric light. The whole populace assembled in the square to enjoy the novelty. The geese were frightened away, but afterward a number were secured, one gunner, it is said, shooting seventeen.

"No, not strange, for of my life it has been the dream," she answered in her charming broken English, which adds pliancy to her personality. Then she told her visitor that from her childhood days she had cared more for violins than for anything as a man-child she never played them, and other childish amusements, but at Hague, where much of her early life was passed and where her parents obliged her to attend school, the moment her lessons were over back she flew to the shop, quite content to putter around her father's work bench and watch him at his work. The violinmaker paid little attention to the child. He did notice that she sawed and glued and chiselled, just as he was doing, but supposed she was constructing some plaything for herself. What was his astonishment one day when she electrified him by holding up a violin in miniature, perfect in every detail, her own work. It is needless to say that the artist felt his delight knew no bounds. He most advanced pupil could produce nothing like it. After this Forenecy removed to his old home at Budapest, Hungary, where he opened a large workshop. He taught a large class of young men his art, but not one among the number ranked in talent with his little ten-year-old xenhaired daughter. He first set her to repairing violins, but she soon became so expert that she progressed still further. From repairing cracks, putting in new backs, necks and tops, she began to make F One of Alvina de Ferenczy's Violins Completed. holes, and a year later was set to making full sized violins. At twelve she completed her first order wholly independent of her father. Now she constructs violins of beautiful tone and marvelous endurance.

If a woman would reform her husband she should begin by selecting his tailor. THE APPEAL. most wholly, the girl says, to the wonderful varnish. It was whilh he worked in the shop of Thomas Zach, at that time one of the famous violinmakers of varnish. Zach meant the secret to die with him and no amount of persuasion would induce him to part with it. One day, however, Ferenczy overheard his master send a man for materials for more varnish. This was Ferenczy's opportunity. He followed the man, and after he had emerged from the drug store Ferenczy entered. Karoly de Ferenczy. He told the celerk Mr. Zach wanted the same prescription reflashed, as the first order was not enough. This was unhesitatingly done, and Ferency departed, overjoyed at his success. It was the preparation of the ingredients, however, that was most difficult. But diplomacy again prevailed. Ferency induced Zach's housekeeper, by the payment, of twenty marks, to hide him in a nearby closet. Ferency left young man left his employer's shop with his knowledge and by himself worked long and hard before he became successful in the manufacture of the varnish. Then he returned to his old employer and showed him the results. Zach's rage was unbound at first. But after Ferency told him everything he was impelled to admire the younger man's resourcefulness, and the conversation concluded by the latter's swearing he would never give away the secret. He was a valuable secret, which has meant so much to two famous violinmakers, is known only to this pretty girl. She, however, fully appreciates the heritage that has come to her, for she loves her art and her violins better than anything else. It is the great sorrow of the girl's heart that she has not one of her father's violins to show for his life's labors. Some of his instruments sold for as high as $1,000, an unusual price for a new instrument. In vain he has bought them back from their owners, but they are willing to sell such a purchase, utter impossibility. In her secret heart, the girl is aiming to have one, whatever the price, once herself has become as famous as her father was. ENGLISH EXTRAVAGANCE. Women of All Classes Said to Spend Too Much on Clothes. A dozen years ago the simplicity of dress, not to say tastelessness, of the average English woman was so marked that she was held up before the women of the whole world either as a model of unobtrusiveness or hideousness. One served the same purpose as the other, for underlying both was the fact that English women expended less money on dress than others. The tradesman's wife could never by any chance escape detection. Her clothes gave her away. The shopper paid no attention whatever to dress so long as she was warmly clad in the winter and had a white cotton dress or two in the summer. As for the factory girl, she was completely satisfied if she had plenty of feathers to stick in the front of her great hat. What has happened in the meantime to English women? asks the London correspondent of Town and Country. They have developed a tendency dress which has made them conspicuously eager for self-admortment and increased their spending capacity tenfold. The woman of fashion no longer thinks of dressing as she did formerly. The advent of French dressmakers was simultaneous with the new inclinations. Fashionable dressmakers used to starve in London. Now they become millionaires. I could name a dozen or more fashionable establishments of this sort which are now the vogue merely because English women insist on spending unwanted sums on their clothes to shopgirl, no longer looks like a trump, but dresses, if not so elegantly, far beyond her limited means. Costly Parliament House. Parliament House, Melbourne, which has been rushed by "the unemployed" of the Commonwealth capital, is the costliest legislative palace in Greater Britain. A million has been expended on it, and it is not yet completed.

Defective Page JOCKEYS AND THEIR MASCOTS! One Buyie Purchase Hates Each One Buys Pleibald Hats, Another Carries Prayer Book in Riding Jacket. "I knew I should ride a winner this afternoon," said J. Plant, the well known jockey, after he had steered Aranmore, an outlier, first past the winning post in the race for the Great Tom Plate at Lincoln a few days ago. "I bought a pleibald rat this morning for sixpeace and regard the animal as an emblem of good luck. I have christened it Arranmore, and it will accompany me wherever I may be riding. Plant is by no means the only jockey who is superstitious. As a matter of fact most jockeys carry tallmans in one form or another. These range from bits of straw and horse skin, acquired in some curious manner, to jeweled whips and diamond pins presented by owners. A certain Newmarket stable apprentice who has ridden several winners this year never rides without holding in his mouth a piece of straw, about three inches long, which he found while in the stable one day on the back of the first horse he was asked to be in a race. For some unaccomplished jockeys, the piece of straw as an omen of good luck, more particularly after he won that first race. Bits of the skin of famous race horses of the past are very much prized by superstition jockeys, who would as soon think of riding without a saddle as without this peculiar tailman. If a bit of skin cannot be obtained the jockey contents himself with a few of the hats out of a famous race horse's tail. One well known jockey was in the hats and so far as the writer is aware is aware of the bays in a day's carry, carrying a small prayer book in his riding jacket. Quite a romantic story is attached to this mascot. It was sent to the jockey by an old lady who, requiring a certain sum of money to aid her daughter and not knowing where to get it, had the idea of backing the horse ridden by this jockey. She got a friend to make the bet, and the horse winning, she obtained all the money she required. Two or three days later the jockey received the little prayer book, with a note explaining the circumstances and saying he would bet. She would never forget the jockey, and asked him to accept the prayer book as an emblem of good luck. "And," said the jockey some time ago, "I firmly believe it has been my good tailman, for I have been wonderfully successful since I received it." TWENTY TIMES A BILLIONAIRE Is the United States Farmer—Seven Billions of Dividends. "In all the circle of all your acquaintances, in all the circle of all your reading, do you know of a single billionaire?" inquires a writer in Outing. "That is a lot of money, you know. At 4 per cent interest it means an income of three and a third million dollars a month. "I'm not talking of capital, that is a quarter water and a quarter hot air and only half hard cash or convertible realty. I'm talking of wealth that can be handled with your hands and measured with your eyes, wealth that doesn't require convulsions of frenzied finance to be converted into terms of the mint. You acknowledge frankly you don't really know of a single billionaire in the history of the world. Much less do you know of any group of capitalists in the world whose combined wealth would make twenty billions and whose twenty billions pay a yearly dividend of seven billion. A dividend of $7,000,000,000 a year means an income of $580,000,000 a month, or $19,000,000 a day. "Such a capitalist collectively, is the United States farmer. Such a dividend, collectively, does the soil of the United States yearly hand out to the farmer man. "By the last census the capital invested in agriculture in the United States was $20,000,000,000 and by the last report of the agricultural department the products of the farm for 1997 yielded a grand total of $7,000,000,000. Compare these figures to the billion dollar steel trust, over which the whole world went daffy a few years ago, and the magnitude of the growing greatness—of agriculture the interests in America become apparent. A member, too, that of all the manufacturing interests in the United States 75 per cent are dependent on the farm for raw products."

Immense Sums Expended by the Lines Have Yielded Good Return—Considerate Treatment of Employees Pays. Railroad corporations are not the soulless creatures they have sometimes been made out to be. Back of the vast army of railroad men and the tremendous visible property of the companies are cool, keen brains that do the planning and directing, but there are also hearts that recognize that railroad workers in the ranks is a man, human like, and must be treated accordingly if there is to be that necessary co-operation between company and men that makes for the good of the service. Of course that is the chief desideratum—the "good of the service," which means the comfort and safety of the traveling public, dividends for the stockholders, more business for the road—in other words, the general success of the company. Hence there has been taken up by the railroads in recent years what is known in industrial lines as "welfare work." Welfare may be defined as consisting of those efforts of the employer in behalf of the employee over and above the mere payment of wages, toward the betterment of condition under which the employee lives and works, making him more comfortable and content, and raising his standard of living generally. While the railroads have undoubtedly entered into this work with humanitarian spirit, recognizing a duty in taking proper care of the thousands of men that they draw from the cities, the villages and the farms, who are deprived for extended periods of their home influences, the companies do not pretend that their motives in this work is purely philanthropic. They frankly confess that the considerate treatment of their employees is good business. The generous amount spent in this way have proved an important bigging large returns; the expense is rightly charged to betterment and safety appliances. With the steady improvement in equipment, the enormous increase of traffic, and the constant demand from the public for a highly efficient service, railroading has become much more exacting in its requirements from those who engage in it. The business more than ever demands a clear head, steady nerves, and strong muscles. When any of these are lacking, there apt is to be a slip up in the schedule—a signal is misread, or one another of the hundred and one rules and precautions neglected—something unpleasant happens, and the railroad equipment is expensive, humiliating, and for, and the reputation of the road must be safeguarded. Wherefore, the cheerful investment by the companies in the welfare of those who man the trains, the shops, and the stations, or do the other work of the railroad—From "Welfare Work" on American Railroads," by William Menkel, in the American Review of Reviews. To Treat Ties with Creosote To proclaim the life of crescent, and thereby minimize the risk of timber, the Pennsylvania railroad has determined in future to treat with crescent ties which shall be used in its main tracks. The company two years ago undertook tree planting upon a large scale. Since that time it has set out 2,425,000 trees and has handled its year 625,000. Extensive planting of trees and shrubbery for ties, lumber and ornamental purposes is being made on land owned by the company in various parts of Pennsylvania and in order to provide still more completely the future, a contract has just been placed for a construction of a tie treating plant at Mount Union, Pa., and, in addition, two large crescent storage tanks at Greenwich Point, Philadelphia. WILL Grow Their Own Ties The growing scarcity of timber suitable for ties, with a resultant increase in their cost, has led 11 roads to start forests. Ten roads in the east have already planted in their respective forest sites thousands of catalpa, black locust, red oak, pine oak and chestnut. One road has selected the eucalyptus because of its rapid growth and adaptability to the climate of California, New Mexico and Texas. OIL BURNING STEAM MOTOR CAR.

PLAN SCHOOL FOR TRAINMEN. Brotherhood of Firemen and Engineers to Add New Feature. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen is soon to establish a correspondence school for the benefit of its members, but which may also be participated in by other railroad men who are interested in obtaining an education along the higher lines of their work. It is expected that this correspondence school will be a separate department under the supervision of John F. McNamee, editor and manager of the Locomotive Firemen's and Enginemen's Magazine, headquarters in Indianapolis, with other matters accomplished by the magazine along educational lines involving air brakes, signals and other matters connected with the work of the members of the brotherhood, and at the last convention it was decided that the new feature should be entered into. It is the intention to compile text books from matter that has appeared in the official magazine for some years past and fill in where necessary with new matter. These books, of course, will be suitably illustrated. The course at first will be in locomotive engineering, running and repairs, breakdowns and various other matters connected with the work of the members of the organization, including such things as brakes, etc. Later, it is expected, deformed, and the higher class of mechanical construction will be taken up, along with such a course in mathematics as may be necessary to equip any member for the higher courses of study. The fee for the courses will be only enough to cover the actual cost of conducting the work. It is said that not only have the members of the brotherhood expressed themselves as much pleased with the proposed correspondence, but also that they put into effect about the first of the year, but railroad officials have also expressed themselves as much pleased with the matter. Elephant on the Track An extraordinary railroad accident occurred recently in Slam, on the Royal State railway between Ban Phaji and Bangkok. Late one evening while rounding a slight curve, a heavy goods train, drawn by two engines, dashed into a large wild elephant which had strayed onto the track. The force of the impact was terrific, and the leading one plunging over the embankment and the second capizing and falling across the line. Two men were killed and several injured, the brakeman was smashed into a shapeless mass, and 13 trucks were derailed and six telescoped. The elephant was killed and its body hurled 60 feet from the track. This is the second accident this year in Slam, and that has occurred been killed last February near Lapurbi, with, however, only slight damage to the train.—The Bellman. Fatally Injured in Cab A dying man's hand guided the crowded east bound Great Northern passenger train as it sped on its way from Robbinsdale to Clear Water Junction, says a dispatch from Minneapolis. The dying man was George P. Irwin, the engineer, who died a moment after he was taken from the train in Minneapolis and placed in a hospital ambulance. Irwin was found unconscious and leased out of the cab window by his man, George Ridgeway. Pulling the door of his car back into the cab, Ridgeway noticed the engineer's skull was fractured. Holding the engineer in one arm, he controlled the engine with the other and took the train into Clear Water Junction. Irwin is supposed to have struck his head against a bridge railing as the train left Robbinsdale. Few Deaths on Railroads. The excellence of the Irish railway administration from the point of view of safety is shown by a return which has just been issued giving the number of deaths and other accidents on the railways of the united kingdom for the three months ended June 30 last. There were 220 persons killed and 1,740 injured during this period in the three kingdoms, and it is gratifying to note that not one of the fatal accidents occurred on the Irish railways and only five persons were injured. These five were all railway employees so that not a single railway passenger was killed or injured in Ireland during the three months. In and only the car has made a speed of 60 miles an hour. The power unit looks curious, but this, of course, is because it is not in position within the car. In the design of the boiler the problem of providing the required amount of heating surface within the necessarily limited space available has been very satisfactorily solved. It is carried in a 100-gal. tank in the engine compartment. The water supply is carried in three tanks having a total capacity of 1,000 gal, suspended beneath the car midway between the trucks. $2.40 PER YEAR. SCENIC MIRACLE GREAT FALLS A SPOT OF MARVEL OUS BEAUTY. Source of the Water Supply for the City of Washington Succession of Majestic Gashes, Seams and Gorges. The water supply of the national capital is a subject of more or less interest to the people of Washington and incidentally to Americans in the provinces, many of whose representatives, when they come to congress, do not drink Potomac water—or any other kind, writes G. Henry Sloane in the Illustrated Sunday Magazine. The people of Washington and incidentally to Americans in the provinces, many of whose representatives, when they do not drink Potomac water — or any other kind, writes G. Henry Sloane in the Illustrated Sunday Magazine. The source of Washington's water supply — the fountain of nearly 400,000 people — is a place of geologic wonder and a geologic miracle, a place river and rifted at some remote aeon sought to wreck the shore to that the Potomac river, Appalachian born, bursts through the pledged plateau and into the coastal plain. The place is called Great Falls, though its glory is more in rocks than in water. It looks like a relic of earth's throes. Once, the geologist would have said that Great Falls was a chapter out of the catastrophic period, and that is the impression of the layman, but your geologist of to-day beheld that there is no clean breach between the river and the present, and that the forces which wrought the vels are still operating, and that, therefore, Great Falls may be the result of geologic evolution instead of Titanic crash. Imagine a vast upheaval where nature sandered the mountains, turned earth's bowels of stone inside out, shuffled the rocks and then left the ruin without one smoothing touch. Through the deep gaeas, seams and gorges the Potomac pours, churning around bowlers as big as houses, and painting the chasm white with spray. Along the lower rocks not a plant form peeps from the cracks and wrinkles of the stone. Higher up, where the water never rises, but where the mist makes things pale, pale sage, feed cedars and mould smoores cling, half-starved. On the top of the cliffs, oaks, poplars, beech, maples and rugged sycamores enjoy happy life tree, donning fresh green in spring and turning blazing reds, bright yellows and somber rushes in the autumn, and behaving like trees that live in less tempestuous places. The predominant rock at Great Falls is Caroline gneiss, a primeval rock of almost unthinkable antiquity. Thousands of ages after the formation of this gneiss, masses of igneous rock were forced into it. There was an uplift of thousands of years, next long ages of erosion, and later in pre-Cambrian times volcanic lavas poured over the upturned rocks. Then followed more ages of erosion, after which the rock became seasalt and it lay down on sandstone, shale and limestone. The water rolled deep here in the beginning of the Cambrian and into the Silurian ages. Whether the gneiss, the rock which makes the main spectacle at Great Falls, and which was once deep-seated in the earth, appears at the surface because it has been heaved up out of the pits of the world or whether the surface of the world at that point has been so deeply worn away to a degree that the gneiss, geologists cannot agree. ly worn away as to expose the gneis, geologists cannot agree. Torpedoes and the Crew. Among the debatants last winter in the official set at Washington was a bright girl, the daughter of a congressman from the interior. On the occasion of the assembling o fthe Atlantic fleet in Hampton Roads this young person was escorted around one of the battleships by a gunnery officer whom she had met in Washington. It was the first warship the young woman had ever seen, and naturally she was much impressed by the wonderful sights which were revealed to her. The gunnery officer explained very thoroughly to her the mechanism and use of the torpedo in warfare; and she examined the deadly engine of war presented to her gaze critically and fearfully. Then she tapped it with the point of her parasol and let her glove run over its burnished side, as she dazed the officers with this naive question: "And how, leutenant, does the crew get inside?"—Harper's Weekly.

Treat each man according to his worth as a man. Distrust all who would have any one class placed before any other. Other republics have fallen because the unscrupulous have substituted loyalty to class for loyalty to the people as a whole. —President Roosevelt's speech at Little Rock, Ark. SATURDAY, JANUARY 9, 1908. REPUBLICANISM IN THE SOUTH. There is no little evidence on file that the Republican party committed a serious error in paying so little attention to the South in the national elections. That evidence shows concisely that by a strong effort upon the part of the party the solid south could have been reduced to a frazzle or completely smashed. We cite from a Republican journal the following facts relative to Georgia. In 1904 Judge Parker had a plurality of nearly 60,000. Judge Taft, cut those figures down to 30,000. The journal quoted says: "In the Seventh congressional district of the state there are thirteen counties, of which nine gave large pluralities for the Republican ticket. Taft and Sherman ran 1,000 votes ahead of their Democratic opponents in this district. "In the Ninth Georgia congressional district there are eighteen counties, ten of which in the recent election were carried by the Republicans and eight by the Democrats. The plurality for Taft and Sherman in the district was 949 votes." Analogous facts could be quoted in ```markdown ``` W. H. [Picture of a man in a suit with a tie]. Who Will Be Rewarded for His Efficient Work in the Election of President Taft. With a view to obtaining Mr. Taft's views on the Maryland proposition, William F. Stone, collector of the port of Baltimore and sergeant-at-arms of the naval commander in the committee, wrote the president select and received the following reply: "My Dear Mr. Stone—I have your letter of Dec. 9, but have not been able to answer it until now. I don't think any one can read my North Carolina speech with any care and on that base the belief that I would favor such a bill as that proposed in Maryland. The provision that the first class of eligible voters shall be those persons who on the 1st day of January in the year 1869, or prior thereto, were entitled to vote under the laws of Maryland or any other state of the United States wherein they then resided, and that the male descendants of such persons, as a second class, shall be entitled to vote, was intended to exempt the persons thus made eligible from the educational or property qualifications which follow in the descriptions of the fifth and sixth classes of persons who shall be en- reference to nearly every other Southern state; but the above is sufficient to show that silent forces are rapidly accomplishing the disintegration of that foo to God and man—the solid South. Of course, the old Bourbonish Southern journals do not see this: The Columbia (S. C.) State says: "The people of this section think that they know best their own true course in politics, and they believe that the only hope of ultimate redemption from the ruinous policies that are sought to be enforced by Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Taft lies in preserving in the South unbroken and unshaken columns around which may yet rally the forces of a triumphant national Democracy." BAILEY OBJECTS: A proposition to print the inaugural addresses of President Lincoln, together with the Emancipation Proclamation, in the Congressional Record, this being the centennial year of Lincoln's birthday, was made in the Senate Tuesday by Senator Gore of Oklahoma. He also proposed that 50,000 copies of these papers be printed in document form. "I have no objection to the inaugural addresses," said Senator Bailey of Texas, "but I do object to the printing of the Emancipation Proclamation." Senator Gore's resolution was referred to the committee on printing. With almost every decision of the courts against us, it is with consider titled to vote. "The same thing may be said of the third and fourth classes, which includes foreign born citizens of the United States naturalized between Jan. 1, 1869, and the date of the adoption of the proposed section, and the male descendants of such mentioned persons.

Taft." able joy that we hail the decision of the United States district court at Muskogee, Okla., which made Zeke Moore, a Creek freedman, worth more than a half million dollars. Moore was allotted 120 acres of land by the government which happened to be in the Glenn Pool oil district of Oklahoma. While Moore was a minor and also a prisoner in the penitentiary at Lansing, Kan., he was induced to sign deeds and leases to his property, the value of which he did not know. The land is worth half a million dollars and by the decision of Judge R. E. Campbell the leases and sales Moore made were declared invalid, with the exception of one, and under that lease he will receive a royalty of 10 per cent on all oil from the wells on that land. We hope he has sense enough to profit by past experiences and will make good use of his fortune. Raymond says that if the tariff is not revised the Democrats will have a majority in the next house of representatives. But the G. O. P. has met so many serious emergencies and come out all right that THE APPEAL has no fears of its failing in this instance. Debs says that there will be no Democratic party in four years, which leads THE APPEAL to conclude that Debs is right upon some points. Tennessee has indicted 19 of the Reelfoot lake murderers; but how the thing will come out is one of those things no fellow can tell. Joseph F. H. To Whom Credit Is Due for President Roosevelt's Order to Put Afro-American Bandmasters in Afro-American Regiments. 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 century children of both races studied 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 upon the 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 every aspect or must fail 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 all part unless it could reach all. That the legislature of Kentucky decided to separate the teaching of white and colored children may be conbed, 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 raised 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 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 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 unheld as com- MR. EMMETT To Whom Credit Is Due for President ican Bandmasters in Af ing 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. 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. For domestic corporations are in respect to them, the state power over them subject to the same limitations. Orient Ins. Co. v. Daggs, 172 U. S. S. 557. 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 genour colored children in the country districts where from 80 to 85 per cent of our people live. In a recent eruption of violence or 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 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 facilities of the school education in the cities and rural areas are good for the most part, but I know of 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 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 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 another. You, yourselves, must make you want known, no one can or will do it for it, must in a firm, conservative and yet proper 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 way each community must organize itself itself and keep taxing itself until such community has a 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 This is the season of the year when we are collecting considerable cash as a result of the sale of their crops. This is also J. SCOTT, t Roosevelt's Order to Put Afro-Amer- tro-American Regiments. 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 Strietly Fresh Eggs There are summer resorts, remote from any agricultural communities, where fresh farm products are even harder to obtain than in the city. It was at such a place that the new boarder, who had eaten four or five breakfasts there began to wonder why the eggs were invariably served fried. "See here," he inquired one morning of the genial colored man who waited upon him, "why do you always fry eggs here? Don't you ever boil them?" "Oh-h, yes, sah!" responded the waiter, pleasantly.

Up until the end of the war and a little while after the whipping post and stocks stood not far from the northwest corner of the court house and between that building and the present postoffice, and there the last whipping took place, though as it began it was sought to be stopped by a federal officer. The sheriff was, however, simply carrying out the mandate of the old court of pleas and quarter sessions. In those days the stocks and the whipping post too were special attractions, notably to boys. The latter were allowed to ridicule people who sat in the stocks, which held their hands and feet, but not to throw anything at them. Of course, this deprived the boys of some degree of pleasure, yet they contrived to get a good deal of fun out of the thing anyway. It seems odd now even to think of such scenes as these must have been. Figure to yourself passing by the court house green at Charlotte or Raleigh and seeing a gentleman held by the ankles and wrists by wooden bars, sitting there in the sunshine for all the world to look at. Those were the days of the branding iron too. A set of gyes of iron, in use for holding the ankles or wrists, are on exhibition here, but of branding irons there are none. These were used here in January, 1865, for the last time. YOUTHFUL ALASKAN FISHERS. Boys' Boat Towed by a Big Hallibut- How the Dogs Help. About the mouths of the streams on which salmon camps are situated the Indian dogs and children amuse themselves catching the fish. Some of the youngsters are so small that after they have succeeded in cornering a fish the combined efforts of the party are often required to dispatch it and carry it to camp. I have watched dogs running about in a riff snapping at the salmon and apparently having the time of their lives. THE NEW YORK TIMES FISKE O'HARA In "Dion O'Dare, a Romantic Irish Comedy at the Grand Next Week One of the most amusing signals that I saw during my stay in Alaska was two Indian boys being towed about the harbor at Kadlak by a huge hall but they had just hooked. Utterly unable to land the fish, they had fastened the line to the stern of the boat, and while they pulled with all their might, each one at an oar, they rallied each other for not exerting more strength and shouted loudly for help. Finally an Indian put out in a boat and the fish was landed. Big Pennsylvania Oak. A monster rock oak tree was recently cut in Juniata township, Huntington county. Its dimensions were as follows after having been cut down and peeled; The circumference of the butt was 12 feet 7 inches, or a diameter of about 4 feet; the diameter at the end of the last log, or 62 feet from the butt, was 22 inches; no limbs were on the tree within 60 feet of the ground. The logs were measured and the amount of lumber that can be made is 2,190 feet board measure, and twelve crosses can be made from the limbs. The bark will amount to from 1 1-2 to 1 3-4 cords. Whale in Portland (Me.) Harbor. The monsters were peacefully romping about in the water, and when the steamer Pilgrim came down the harbor they swam some distance away, but remained in view of the people all the time flapping their huge tails out of the water and spouting water. It was a sight not often seen in Portland harbor. "Father's out," said the small boy to the caller. "He's a tanner, isn't he?" queried the youngster. "Yes; but he's out," reiterated the youngster. "Very well; I'll call again. Tell him I want him to do some work for me." The boy nodded. "I suppose he's a smart man at tanning?" queried the visitor. The youngster rubbed his sides. "Rather!" he exclaimed. "He practices on me!" Strenuous, but Robust The patriarch of the olden type is not so much in evidence now.

After what is believed to be the longest voyage with cargo ever made by a sailing ship the British steel bark Johanna arrived in the lower harbor this morning. It is nearly seven months since she sailed from Java. Since then she has been to St. Helena, Falmouth, England, and Delaware Breakwater. Her 17,000 miles of sailing and knocking from port to port was due to the advance in the price of sugar. Capt. Doey said the Johanna loaded at Cheribon and Tagal, leaving the former port Nov. 25. She took on board 8,859 big baskets of sugar, each weighing 700 pounds. By the time Falmouth was reached, April 22, the advanced price of sugar in this country caused the bark to be ordered to Delaware Breakwater, whence she was sent to this port to discharge her cargo. 10 MINNEAPOLIS DOINGS IN AND ABOUT THE GREAT "FLOUR CITY."

A novel suggestion was put forward at yesterday's international art congress at the Victoria and Albert Museum by Mr. Alexander Millar, a prominent manufacturer and designer, who urged the need for systematic color training and recommended the establishment of "color museums." This idea he explained, had received sympathetic support from many great artists. In every educational center and in every school there should be collections of objects selected for their beauty of color alone. There should be analytic color sections, showing the color scheme apart from the accidents of form and shadow. The collection, continued Mr. Millar, need not be very costly. Why should not a beginning be made by making a selection from the beautifully colored textiles which appear from time to time in shop windows? The expense would be very small. Year by year beautiful stuffs were being produced and allowed to drop into oblivion. If such a collect! be not formed now it might be that one hundred years hence our museum authorities would buy at a fancy price a collection of imperfect fragments of the very stuffs which could be now acquired for a nominal sum. He spoke of what he knew when he said that such a collection would be heartily welcomed by all designers and by every one connected with arts and industries in which color played an important part. OFF THE SPROCKET. Little Mishap to an Automobile Wagon On Easily Set Right. Not so many things happen to automobiles now as once did, but ever so not all mishaps are as easily and quickly adjusted as was this one. Going around a corner the drive chain on one side of an automobile delivery wagon came off the rear sprocket, a mishap which the driver almost instantly discovered. When the wagon stopped the man with the driver picked up a pair of gloves and jumped off and ran around to the wheel from which the chain had dropped. He lifted up the chain and set two or three links of it over as many teeth of the froward part of the sprocket wheel, and holding the chain there he called to the driver; "Back her." And the driver backed gently, the man holding the chain, and in a moment the chain clicked back all right on the sprocket wheel. "That sounds good to muh," said the man, and then he ran around and climbed to his place on the wagon seat again, and the next moment the outfit was again on its way. Looking for the Twin Sisters. Supt. W. C. Day of public buildings and grounds is endeavoring to secure for the State of Texas, to be preserved as a relic, two cannon known as the Twin Sisters, which were presented by citizens of Cincinnati to the Texas army in 1835, received by Gen. Sam Houston and used by him in the battle of San Jacinto against the Mexican army under Gen. Santa Anna. The difficulty is that he is unable to locate the guns. They were last heard of at New Orleans, where they were stored in the United States arsenal; with other military supplies and equipment surrendered by Texas when admitted into the Union. Conan Doyle's Latest. Conan Doyle has written a book entitled "Through the Magic Door." It is neither about crime nor te detection of criminals, but it merely tells what in literature Sherlock Holmes likes and what he doesn't like. He advises young readers to talk about what they have recently read. Except to personal friends, this sort of talk, while useful to the talker, is ordinarily about as interesting to the hearer as the narration of one's dreams. Suggestion for Dr. Wiley. It is no joke, but a serious and sensible proposition, made by a commission of the Russian duma, that the imperial eagle hitherto placed on labels attached to bottles of vodka, which is a state monopoly, be replaced by a skull and bones, indicating its poisonous and dangerous character.

PAUL BREWERS OF THE BEER THAT "Leads Them All" DEALER IN Fine Shoes 859 University, Corner Kent Repairing Neatly Done St. Paul --- BEES MASTER OF THE ROAD. Farmer's Mishap That Stopped Travel on a French Highway. A curious incident is reported from St. Prieure, near Chambery, where two colonies of bees in a state of insurrection have routed everybody from the neighborhood and are still masters of the road. The cure of a neighboring place, accompanied by a farmer, came to take possession of two beehives, which the farmer loaded on a cart drawn by two oxen. Halfway home one of the hives fell off the cart and was broken up. The bees on being liberated attacked the farmer with fury and stung him so violently that the poor man fainted and fell on the road. The cure came to his rescue, but in his hurry upset the other hive, from which the bees also escaped and attacked him in turn. Workmen from the fields round about heard the cries and rescued both men, who had to be carried to a house and attended by a doctor. Meanwhile the bees attacked the oxen and stung them so fiercely that the two beasts started on a mad race down the road and were finally stopped by a woman, who in turn was surrounded not only by the bees of the first two hives but apparently by all the bees in the neighborhood, and had herself to be rescued by the villagers. So savage have the bees become that the highway is still said to be in their possession, and the inhabitants have to be well protected to venture out in the fields. BREAKING AN OLD CUSTOM. How a Club's System of Blackballing Was Brought to an End. An authentic story is told of one famous club in St. James street where a number of ancient members made it a law to themselves to reject every one without exception who had offered himself as a candidate. This practice of blackballing was long held as an imperative and unbreakable rule, but was at length evaded by a strategem. At one election a number of a newcomer's friends were in attendance, but outside at a distance from the clubhouse. No one appeared in the committee room, and it was generally supposed that there would be no quorum. The malcontents therefore abstained from voting. But when only a few minutes of the legal time for balloting remained and the servants were at the point of removing the ballot boxes an overwhelming number of the candidate's friends rushed in and elected him before the slightest opposition could be organized. After this the absurd system of blackballing was dropped, and the club to-day is still alive and prosperous. In Leap Year.
