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.

MISCHA ELMAN TELLS STRANGE STORY OF A HAUNTED VIOLIN Once Owned by the Great Joachim, but to Four Successive Artists It Refused to Give Forth Music. VOL. 25. NO. 3. Trance Medium and Making Exhibit BY ETHEL LLYOD PATTERSON. Dr. Alfred Fox would sell "ghost walks" at the rate of $5,000 per walk, but he came down in his price last night and gave one away. Dr. Fox lives at No. 164 West One Hundred and Thirty-second street, New York, and is as grandate of the College of Physicians and Surgeons. He was also connected for a time with the Manhattan State hospital. Just now, with the aid of Mrs. Margaret Marx and Miss Mimile Monroe, both of No. -215 West Forty-second street, as mediums, he is angling for the $5,000 prize offered by the Metropolitan Psychic society. PLACED HIS HANDS UPON THOSE OF THE PATIENT AND COUNTED SLOWLY FIETEEN. The society has suggested as a test that oranges be rolled from a bag behind the medium's back and offered the reward if her "spirit" control can count them as they spill. Dr. Fox's two psychic entities seemed so knocked out last night that it looked as though it would be a pity to waste the price of a bag of oranges. The exhibition, therefore, was limited to descriptions of apartments that the mediums had never visited and personalities that they had never encountered. The hall at No. 215 West Forty-second street was dim, mysterious and vaguely redolent of vegetable soup as MISCHA ELMAN TEL STORY OF Once Owned by the Great Jo Artists It Refused t BY NIXOLA GREELEY-SMITH. This is the story of a haunted violin. A Stradivarius of rare tone and price, once the property of the great violinist Joachim, which, after the death of the master, passed from one famous fiddler to another, who, in his turn, sold it because he could get no music from it. You may not believe the story; I may not. But perhaps we have sorid souls. At any rate, to Mischa Elman, the eighteen-year-old Russian boy who, after his first appearance here last week, was halted by the New York critics as the greatest violinist since Joachim, it is gospel truth—and he ought to know something about the matter, for he owns the violin. He told me all about it at the Hotel Knückerbocker, where I found him. It is a shammy to let out scandal on each a lively hostelry—but he really was playing chess. Young Elman, a middle-sized chunky boy with pale blue, seems nearly a high forehead and a formidable pompadour of chestnut hair, was fanked by musical managers—sauve, olly managers brought from the other side, and bruise, furcoated American products—all intent on seeing that the boy acquitted himself properly at his first interview. And, by the merest accident, he did so. It happened in this way: On the mantpiece of the Knickerbocker were four photographs, all of the same person. No, you'll never guess of whom they were. Why, how clever of you! Yes, they were all of Mr. Elman. And in one of them he was pictured with a violin. "That violin has a story," he said, when I mentioned the picture. And foraking his chess game he moved toward the mantpiece impetuously and brought back the photograph. "Yes, it once belonged to Joachim. But not since the master died had it Dr. Fox, staff artist, and the reporter entered. An interval elapsed while a search was made for the key of Miss Monroe's bed room. The key found, the seance collected itself and adjourned to Miss Monroe's apartment, which proved to be a hall room on the first floor front. Two chairs, one bed and one wash stand constituted the furniture. The mediums sat on the bed, and Dr. Fox availed himself of one of the chairs opposite them. The staff artist, after the proper polite protests, arranged himself in the other chair near the window where the lights from the street lamp could fall on his paper. THE NEW YORKER DE. The reporter sat upon the floor, tailor fashion. Mrs. Marx was the first subject. Dr. Fox told her to place her hands upon his knees, look into his eyes and—no NOT say "Goo-goo!"—but before he could count fifteen she would be fast asleep. Sure enough, before he had begun to count at all she looked reprehensively drowsy, and by the time Dr. Fox said "fourteen" Mrs. Marx to all appearances "dead to the world." "Now," said Dr. Fox to Mrs. Marx, "try to lift your arms." Ensured a Salome dance of the funny bones by Mrs. Marx, but no "lift."

Four great violists have owned it since Joachim, but none of them could get from it the tone which had made it Joachim's most precious possession.

Anyway, Mrs. Marx could not "see anything more." She perplexed. "She perplexed. she perplexed. that she was "Fanciful people said it was haunted, or that its sweetness had gone with Joachim and that it mourned its master. Even when I bought it in London some months ago I discovered that there was something the matter, and never until Thursday night would it give me any satisfaction. I wanted to use it for my American debut, however, but I had made up my mind to sell it if it failed me then. Well, the very first note I played at Carnegie hall I realized that my Stradivarius had found itself, and it gave me a wonderful confidence. I notice one of the critics said my manner was pompous. Well, I know what I can do. I didn't. But I haven't what I understand you to call in America the swollen head." ELMAN. "There is one thing I want to know, Mr. Elman," I interrupted. "How is it that so young a man can interpret so many and such deep emotions. You are only eighteen years old." "There is no sentimentality in my playing," replied the youth. "I play music for beauty, not for sentiment. People often interpret music in a very different spirit from that in which it was written. Violinists even --- horribly "tired" and afraid she couldn't "make good." However, Dr. Fox insisted and pushed her off from the earth-earth as he slowly counted fifteen. Miss Monroe was asked to "describe a man known to some of the party present, but unknown to both Dr. Fox and herself. With considerable difficulty she finally located the gentleman on "a street with houses on both sides of it." So far, so good—it sounded reasonable. Asked to describe him, she allowed he was "of medium height and medium weight, with regular features." All that she could discover in the way of wearing apparel was what he asked to her to be "a black earlby" who blocked the hearlby refused to press for further details.

At this point Miss Monroe showed signs of the strain, and the party implored Dr. Fox not to take her further. inject their own experiences, their own emotions, into their playing. But these things hamper rather than help their art." Would Be Calamity. "Then you will never fall in love for art's sake?" "Never," replied the young man, frankly. "I should regard falling in love as a great catastrophe. I am not a woman hater, of course. I admire especially American women, and most of my women friends in London, where I live, are American girls. But I'll admit frankly that I don't want my violin to be haunted by any live woman any more than by a dead ghost." And so saying Mr. Elman hopped back to his chessboard and called suddenly: "CHECK!" I invite if he spoke only to the chessboard, or if he felt that he had checkmated the hopes of sentimental young women as well. The Patient Was Improving The following was told of the patient of a well known New York physician: The patient, an elderly gentleman, became quite ill while the doctor was absent upon a vacation, the indisposition being the result of too frequent potitions. A female nurse was at engagement to care for him in his hotel. A lady, residing in the same hotel, became aware of his illness, and interested herself to the extent of one morning inquiring concerning his condition of the chambermaid. "Shure, ma'am," replied Maggie, "an I think he do be getin' along very well. The nurse was sittin' on his lap his mornin'!" A Compromise. This little three-year-old hungry American was with his mother at the home of a neighbor. The neighbor's little boy was eating a piece of chicken. Hubert wanted a piece, but it was all they had. He then asked for a bite, but the other little fellow objected. The two mothers then took a hand, and amidst many "yes"s and "no's" on their part, Hubert silenced the whole business by saying "Well, just let me smell the bone." The bone was handed to him, and he very soberly took a long, delicious smell and handed it back. FIRST CATCH YOUR COON, Then Cook It After Tom Murrey's Recipe and Reloices. "Tom Murrey, who could cook anything and cook it a little better than almost any chef I ever now," said an eputeurian New Yorker, "used to say that if you don't know how to cook a coon about all you get out of it if you try to cook one will be a big lot of grease and a bad smell. "Tom Murrey's recipe insists that you first catch your coon. The coon is a roving, reckless, rollicking freebooter, whose range covers miles of woods and thicket and swamp and eld. There is excitement and toll and trouble, skill against skill, cunning endurance against endurance, when you have caught him you will be in proper mood to eat him. "One mistake that the ordinary cook makes is assuming that the more of woods you eat left upon it the better, and that the more woods be roasted whole in the oven. As a coon in good condition is covered an inch or more thick with fat, the greasiest kind of fat, the result of such a manner so cooking may be imagined. "When Tom Murrey cooked a coon he cut off all the fat he could. Then you cut the coon into pieces, covering them with cold water, made strong with salt. This is to draw out the blood, which is hot and superabundant in all hibernating animals. "When the blood has been extracted pour off the water and cover the parts with fresh water to which a handful of saletatus has been added. Let the water be kept at water not less than one hour nor more than hours, then remove it to fresh water and boll it until the meat is well cooked and through. "Have ready a frying pan, with plenty of butter melted in it, flavored with onion. Fry the coon in that until it is nicely browned. It is then ready to serve, and it is almost as good cold as it is hot. "That's the way to cook a coon. And when this misjudged provider of something more than good to eat is thus prepared the eater of it will have a regular Oliver Twist look of eager expectancy on his face as he pushes up his plate for more. Even the still more despised woodchuck, treated according to this same recipe may be transformed into a dish that no fried chicken that ever was, will be ashamed to have mistaken for itself." CENTER OF OUR POPULATION. Its Migration Westward Remarkably Uniform in Rate and Direction. The Center of population in 1900 was in the State of Indiana. In 1790 the center was twenty-three miles east of Baltimore, in the State of Maryland, or virtually on the Atlantic shore line. Its migration has been slow and remarkably uniform, both in rate and in direction. It has hovered for 110 years along the 93rd parallel latitude, and its total variation in latitude has been less than one-third of one degree. The westward movement has averaged less than a degree in a decade, notwithstanding the incredibly swift occupation of a vacant continent by a movement of population westward. The easterly position of the center of population is in part due to the fact that the eastern part of the continent was first settled and was settled from the east. The easterly position of the center of population is also due to the more evenly distributed and more abundant resources of the eastern half of the United States. It should not be forgotten that the geographical center of the United States lies some hundreds of miles west of the Mississippi river. The center of the Mississippi river embraces the Atlantic lowlands, the prairies and Great Lake plains, the Gulf lowlands and the forests and minerals of the Appalachian Mountains and Appalachian plateau. Over against these are the arid and mountainous areas of the West. Certain areas will be recalled to incredible productiveness, and the mineral wealth is vast; but the center of population may be expected to remain permanently to the eastward the geographical center of the land. Mink Farm In Oregon. Tom Staten has established a farm for the raising of mink at Rattlesnake Point, on the upper Klamath lake. About a hundred of the animals are housed in cages or cabinets, and seem to do well, and thrive in captivity, as they are all fat and sleek looking. The animals are so tame that they will take food from the hand, although one has to be careful in handling them, as the mink is treacherous and has a county, county increases about five fold, Mr. Staten expects to have something over 500 in his cages next year. The value of their fur alone will aggregate about $3,000, but live female minks sell for a much higher figure than their hide alone is worth. Crocodiles Along the Nile At the sound of the shot the whole of this bank of the river, over the extent of at least a quarter of a mile, sprang into hideous life, and my companions and I saw hundreds of crocodiles, of all sorts and sizes, running madly into the Nile, whose waters along the line of the shore were laashed into white foam, exactly as though a heavy wave had broken. It could be no exaggeration to say that at least a thousand of these saurians had been disturbed at a single shot. THE APPEAL STEADILY GAINS BECAUSE: 4-It is the organ of ALL Afro-Americans. 5-It is not controlled by any ring or olique. 6-It asks no support but the people's. NEW HOME OF NATIONAL CITY BANK OF NEW YORK. The National City Bank of New York, the largest banking institution in America, has moved into its new building on Wall street. It is necessary to go to some of the great central government banks of Europe to find an institution whose resources compare with those of the National City bank. Its total assets recently touched the record figures of $727,849,000, a sum sufficient to pay off the national debts of Mexico and all the Central American countries. A few months previous the cash reserve of this institution was nearly $100,000,000. Early in November gross deposits touched the high figure of $308,778,000. A year ago the old custom house, which currently occupies a city block on lower Wall street, was turned over to the bank. The interior was completely removed, but the granite walls with the familiar ionic columns, were left practically untouched. The architects solved the problem of raising the structure four stories and converting it into a modern building domicile without changing the building's architectural character and tradition. The entire lower section is given over to a great banking chamber, whose ceiling is sixty feet high; it is eighty-three feet to the top of the central dome, and the two solid bronze doors on the Wall street portal are the largest in the world. There is NEW HOME OF NATIONAL ART IN There They See the Begining There has grown up in Chicago since her phoenixlike resurrection from almost overwhelming disaster a sturdy group of strong artists whose honest endeavor, persevering luck and devotion to their calling have given them claim to something higher than praise-appreciation. These men and women—painters, architects, sculptors, designers—in expressing their own feeling about the things that surround them are laying a foundation that very strongly suggests the beginning of a national American art. In receiving patronage and support the artists of Chicago have been deservedly fortunate. Only a few years ago, for instance, the late Benjamin F. Ferguson bequeathed the sum of $1,000,000 as a fund whose interest is to be expended on monuments and sculpture commemorating famous American men and women and events in American history, all these works to be placed on the boulevards and elsewhere in Chicago. Then, public interest in art matters is so great that nearly every one of the many clubs for the advancement of culture offers a substantial prize each year for the best work exhibited by Chicago artists. Probably there $2.40 PER YEAR. HOUSE BECOMES ARGEST BANK IN AMERICA nothing in the way of balconies or passageways to mar the open effect of this huge domed chamber. The character of this interior is that of extreme simplicity and the whole color scheme is monotone. The great armor plate safe, weighing 300 tons is in the center of the building, and it is bare of disguise or ornament. The architects frankly treated it as a great strongbox. Incidentally, this huge safe has certain twentieth century safety features, most striking of which is a system of pluing for live steam designed to quickly paroll any misguided person bent upon burglary. All messengers pass to and from a distinct department in the basement, a department store carrier, and a pneumatic tube service expedite the handling of 45,000 checks daily, cable and telegraph communication is direct—these are a few of the ideas from other banks. The bank's 400 employees will fare well with their own kitchens and dining rooms, and a great assembly room for conference and social purposes. There is even provisions for a miniature root garden, and there is also an unobstructed encircled promenade, extending around the roof. The National City bank is just four years short of the century mark as regards age. At the time of its formation, in 1812, there were eight other banks in New York, whose total capitalization was $7,552,760. CITY BANK OF NEW YORK. CHICAGO of a National American School are more organizations of this sort in Chicago than in any other American city. Over fifty women's clubs alone are federated, and each year the federation purchases some worthy work of art. Since the federation of the Chicago Art association with the Municipal Art league in 1901 art in Chicago has received even greater encouragement than before. No city in American has given its painters so many walls to decorate, thus producing a condition favorable to art's development along the lines of mural painting and bringing many artists of exceptional ability and genius, in whose work appears perhaps one of the strongest impresses of Chicago's genius loci. Mouse Stopped Golf Match On Killermont golf course, near Glasgow, a field mouse settled a match which had been carried to the nineteenth green by getting in the way of the putt. The player at first thought his ball had struck a dead leaf, but the mouse, which has been partially stunned, was captured, exhibited as evidence of the veracity of the players and dismissed.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 16, 1909. A great movement has been inaugurated in Cleveland, Ohio, in which several thousands have pledged themselves to live for two weeks as Jesus would. We would like to see the movement extended to other parts of the country, including the localities now cursed by the presence of Vardaman, Tillman, Dixon, et al. It might also be further extended to the northern states, where so-called "Christian Associations are excluding their brothers in black" from the benefits of these associations solely on the ground of color. True Christianity knows no nationality or color; all are alike children of the one Father who is no respecter of persons and who says: "In as much as ye have done it unto one of these, ye have done it unto me." Christ also said: "I came not to save the righteous, but to bring sinners to repentance. Christ was not of the "I am holier than thou" class. He did not derive his highest enjoyment from the disbarment of others from the good things. He enjoyed, as seemed to be the case with so many people now-a-days. He commanded his disciples to go out in the highways and byways and bring in the poor and needy, the W. H. M. B. HON F. H.

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 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-down-trodden and distressed, promising unto such to give them rest! We pray God that the movement may sweep this whole country, and that the wolves in sheep's clothing and those that borrow the livery of heaven to serve the devil in, may see the error of their ways, seek forgiveness from the meek and lowly, Nazarene and emulate his example by doing unto others as they would have others do unto them. Chief Musician George F. Tyrrell band, 10th Cavalry, now in the Philippines, has been transferred to the band, 15th Cavalry, ordered to Fort Myer, Va. This is the first transfer of the kind made under the President's recent order, which looks to finally having Afro-American leaders of the bands of the four Afro-American regiments. As vacancies occur in the position of chief musician of white bands the white leaders of Afro-American bands will be transformed to fill them and Afro-American leaders will be appointed to the Afro-American bands. Some hide-bound white people, including the pugilists, are terribly put out because Jack Johnson has won the championship of the world, just because he is black. Well, let them go after the title and win it back if they can, we are perfectly willing that the best man shall wear it whether he is black or white, all we want is a fair, square deal in pugilism or in any other direction. 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. This is in order to exempt such immigrants and their descendants of such mentioned persons. This is in order to exempt such immigrants and their descendants from educational or property qualifications. Now, we know the first four classes include no Negroes at all. In other words, it is intended to free the whites from educational or property qualifications, but to subject all Negroes to them. "The whole law ought to be condemned. It is not drawn in the spirit of justice and equality, having regard for the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, and I sincerely hope that no Republican who desires equality of treatment to the black and white races will vote for it.

Special committees have already been appointed by the Executive Council of the Tuskegee Institute to arrange a program of exercises and to care for the comfort of such visitors as may be present. There is genuine rejoicing among the Afro-Americans of the country over the knockout that President Roosevelt administered to old Pitchfork Tillman. In fact all honest men are pleased to see the mask of honesty torn from the face of that base hypocrit. Exeunt pitchfork, you are no match for the big stick. In commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln, the house of representatives on Wednesday authorized the Postmaster General to issue a special Lincoln postage stamp of denomination of two cents, in accordance with Representative Dawson's resolution. Senator Tillman failed in his reply to the President's charges. He did not attempt to deny the charges he brought upon his own head; his only defense was abuse. The Senate has confirmed the nomination of James W. Johnson of New York to be consul at Corinto, Nicaragua. W. H. Whose One Hundredth Birthday Anniversary Will Be Celebrated Feb. 12 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 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 separable, 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 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 question is be added a special question 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 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, ABRAHAM Whose One Hundredth Birthday A 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. Life Ins. Co. v. Prewitt, 202 U. 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. Foreign and domestic corporations are in respect to the state's power over them subject to the same limitations. Orient Ins. Co. v. Daggs, 172 U. S. 557. Mr. Justice Harlan, with whom Mr. Justice Day concurs, flies 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 rell- glon, 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. I refer to the central cent 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 College of the Nation where the public school 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, no 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 teachers of every description. The facilities of public school education in the cities of large towns are good for the most part, but 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 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 offcials 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 to know, no one can or will do it for you. You must serve and yet polite manner insist upon our proper share of the public school funds. Parents must bear in mind that if they get all the public school fund LINCOLN. anniversary Will Be Celebrated Feb. 12. 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 effort to tax itself and keep taxing itself until each community has a good schoolhouse and a school term ranging 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 children, must, as a race, learn to make sacrifices, is better that we go without, proper clothing, that we go hungry, live on food 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 Next Attraction at the Grand Theater. Commencing with a matinee on Sunday, Jan. 17th and continuing for the week, the Grand will present the most successful romantic drama of recent years. This tale of a love behind a throne, written by George Barr McCutcheon, as it appears in play form, is delightfully facinating and makes "Graustrak" a charming country with equally interesting people. Ruled by a princess of an unusual personality, yet a woman, lovely, naive, ladiesfeet to Larry, yet warm; then cold as he grows too youthful. In fact, everything that puzzles him on nothing half so much as that such a person should be labeled Guggenslocker. He therefore finds a friend eager for adventure and they set out to find her. The company engaged in the presentation of the play is a most capable one. Miss Stephanie Longfellow is most effective in the role of the Princess Yetine, Mr. Burt King enacts the American, Grenfall Lory in a bol. fearless yet withal gentle manner, Miss Adela Lane as Dagmar is a charming comedienne, while Harry American is easily taken for the slangy American and is romantic enough to be a fit actor. Lory Jr. J. H. Lewis is the embodiment of the character of Dangloss, as Mr. McCutcheon has drawn him, while the balance of the company are effective in their different roles. U. B. F. NOTES.

Clubs by a Famous Maker—Old Tom Morris' Putter. Harry B. Wood of Manchester possesses probably the most valuable collection of golf clubs 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 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 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 bears all the characteristics of Philps' clubs—the gracefully modeled neck, thin face, the rounded contour of the head, the grain of the wood and tapering shaft. Another specimen is a fine baby 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 afterward waxed. There is also a purer made in 1870 by David Brown, an ex-champion and brother to "Lang Geordie," 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 windy 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 weighed 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. Vlahinich, states that on several occasions he has been startled at night by the strange noise, which would stop on his attempting to see how it was done. HEALTH HOTEL. The Afro-Americans of the United States ought to know that there is a Health Hotel owned and controlled by Afro-Americans in Mt. Clemens, Mich. Here is a place for seekers after rest, quiet and health. There are six bath tubs for the mineral baths, twenty-one bed rooms, a living room seating forty persons. The dental giving waters of Mt. Clemens are there on the over the world. The wells sunk on the hotel grounds to supply the guests with clean water cost nearly $5,000. Such an enterprise should receive encouragement from those who are in need of just a place. MINNEAPOLIS DOINGS IN AND ABOUT THE GREAT "FLOUR CITY."

Sorrows of the Critic The sorrows of the modern critics 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 butler. "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." "Why is a woman's heart like an umbrella?" asked the thin border. "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." In Montclair. Nickler—Is your dog's bark worse than its bite? Bocker—No; they both cost the same. Bocker—Because it has no graduates.

Beautiful Stuffs Being Thrown Away Whose Remains Will Cove Dear. 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 collection 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 Doc." 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. A Previous Engagement. "Would any of you little girls like to go to heaven?" asked the Sunday school teacher. "No'm, not this summer. We're going to the seashore," answered Ethel promptly. Stepping Statistics. A Swiss has taken the trouble to count all the steps he took during a year. He found the number to be 9,760,000, which gives 25,740 steps a day. His Holiness Won. A keen struggle for the possession of an extremely rare coin between the pope and King Victor Emmanuel of Italy, both numismatics, has just ended in favor of the former. The Only Difference. The "masses" and the "classes" in England differ in this—the former are to be bought with a drink; the latter with a dinner. Nobody likes to be patronized. A sense of superiority seldom goes with superiority of sense. 814 MINNESOTA ST. Send Us Your Work OUR WORK WILL SATISFY OU Dige MA Dige MALT EXTRACT PURE PALATABLE BREWER, SALMON BREWING CO. ST. PAUL, MN. 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.
