The Appeal

THE APPEAL KEEPS IN FRONT BECAUSE: 1-It aims to publish all the news possible. 2-It does no impartial, no nouns. 3-Its correspondents are able and energetic. By JAMES L. FORD. It is not until we reach the meridian of life and can look back in philosophic mood at the pleasures, follies and ambitions of youth that we realize the part played by vanity in those little comedies and dramas that we thought at the time were purely affairs of the heart. I never doubted for a moment that my engagement to the landlady's daughter was anything but a love affair, but now I know that it was conceived in vanity and carried on through sheer self-conceit of the very silly sort. The fact that my engagement to this estimable young woman imperiled both her happiness and my own was nothing in comparison with the gratification that it caused me to think that I had cut out the accomplished and graceful Mr. Radcliffe, and that I was an object of genuine interest to every woman in the field. Feeling all this as keenly as I did, I was amazed when Mr. Radcliffe gave up the idea of moving to Brooklyn and continued to brave it out in his $18 room, though heaven knows what it must have cost him to see the landlady's daughter and myself seated side by side at every meal and to hear my voice instead of his uplifted in nightly song in the back parlor. It may be that the tale that I am about to tell will seem too silly to he It was here, on this very sofa, that the fashionable widow found me. worth the telling, and therefore I plead in extenuation not only my extreme youth, but also the inordinate vanity which is the ruling passion of almost every young life. A few days after my little affair of vanity had culminated in my engagement the mother of my fancee, feeling perhaps the reaction that follows close on the heels of a long period of strained anxiety, went away to pay a restful visit, leaving the house in the competent hands of her daughter, the place next to mine falling to a new boarder, the fashionable widow. "I suppose you'll be flirting with her next," said the landlady's daughter in an arch whisper; and I swore that my days of flirting—dangerous wretch that I was!—were over for all time. From the very first the new arrival made a favorable impression upon us all. Vouched for by Mr. Radcliff, who had introduced her into the house and years as a member of the New York City society, was not long before even the doubt of us acknowledged her as the highest authority at the table on all matters connected with society. Very soon I found myself taking a deep interest in her conversation, which was of a light and cheerful nature, punctuated with witty persifage and relating chiefly to the engagements, weddings and scandals of high life. Now, it must be remembered that at this time the "Four Hundred" had not been discovered by Mr. McAllister, nor had society news assumed anything like the proportions that it enjoys in the journalism of today. But already begun to add its pungentest element to the engagements, and the doings of the "upper tier" naturally termed those circles that are now called "smart" or "swagger," were be coming more and more interesting every day. I had never placed an exorbitant valuation on my social connection, which, such as it was, had been inherited rather than acquired. I knew a few fashionable women, and these favored me from time to time with the madness for society chatter had cards for receptions or musicals, but it was not until my courtship of the landlady's daughter that I fell into the habit of sticking these in the frame of my mirror, where every in the house could read them. The affairs to which I was asked were the large ones to which a woman invites every one on her list, and as these were even then quite, fully reported in the newspapers they carried much greater weight in the eyes of my fellow boarders than invitations to those small dinners which are reported, and to which it is an honor to be bidden. But I soon learned that even the scant skirties that I received were sufficient VOL. 25. NO. 4. to set me apart from the rest of the house as a much sought after man of fashion. And it gave a distinct filp to my vanity to find that the fashionable widow recognized this from the very first. It may be that in the course of my life I have met women who know more about society than this one, but I am quite certain that none of these talked as much about it. And very fascinating indeed was this talk that not only kept the entire table agape, but also stirred up in my silly mind some of the least worthy desires that it has even known. And the fashionable widow never told to address this talk to me the one person at table who was thoroughly accustomed to fashionable ways. In looking back it seems to me that it was always Mr. Radcliff who acted as interlocutor, introducing the topics somewhat in this fashion: "I see by the evening paper that Mrs. Jack Addleton is going to Europe next week to be gone a year." At this we would all prick up our cars, not because we knew Mrs. Addleton or had any expectation of knowing her, but because we felt that we would fall behind in the running if we did not keep tab on the doings of fashionable life, and as we sat with knife and fork in midair and the food unstated on our plates the fashionable widow would make answer, speaking as one with authority. "Going to Europe, indeed? My dear Mr. Radcliff, I wonder that, aof all men, should be deceived by such an absurd statement. Don't you know where Mrs. Jack is at this very moment? No? Well I'll tell you. She's in a retreat in Connecticut, not more than a thousand miles from a certain country club where Dicky Tweedemere spends most of his time when he's sober. That's how Mrs. Addleton is spending her time in Europe." All this would be said in a most knowing manner and from time to time she would glance at me as if to say that, of course, she and I knew all about it even if the rest of the boarders did not. But, after all, what could be expected of them? And then perhaps the conversation would turn on the approaching wedding of Mrs. Addleton, which would be the fashionable widow a chance to display her knowledge of the most intimate details of the troussae, the source of Mr. Goldburg's wealth and the precise sum that had been paid over to the well connected Englishman who had won her. It is amazing to me, now that long contact with the world has rubbed off the sharp edges of youthful credulity, to think that I could have listened, open-mouthed, to conversation of that sort. I have already confessed that my story is a silly one, but even at this late day I blush to think that I preferred this empty, idiotic chatter to the simple little things that my sweetheart uttered now and then and then listened to and that unconsciously I was allowing my infatuation for that excellent girl to cool off and my admiration for the talkative woman beside me to grow apace. But, after all, as my affection for the landlady's daughter had been merely an affair of vanity so was this new interest of mine founded upon the same quality. As I can plainly see now, the fashionable widow took the single grain of social conceit that had already taken root in my soul and by carefully feeding it with insidious flattery soon reared it to fungus growth that might in time have poisoned every decent quality of heart or mind that I possessed, and while still insidious I was and that good little soul to whom my troth was pligged and she was finding solace in the quiet but persistent attentions of the man whom I still regarded as my defeated rival. We four, now a friendly quartet, occupied the back parlor nearly every evening, and while the landlady's daughter and Mr. Radcliff played and sang the sentimental ballads of the day the fashionable widow and I chatted about the great brilliant world of fashion in which I firmly believed she had been a dominant attractive figure, And it was while sitting there beside her that the dream of becoming a man of fashion myself and treading the maze of fashion was made when he saw my side grew and grew until it took almost complete possession of my soul. But if I was unconscious of the disintegration of our little romance, were there others who were not; and at last the day came when I found myself seated alone in the back parlor on the same horse chair sofa where I had sat so many evenings listening to the strains of "Some Day" and "and the Gloaming" and to the far sweeter music of the voice that fled my ear with entracing tales of fashionable life. It was here, on this very sofa, that the fashionable widow found me late that afternoon, my face pale and ghastly, and tightly clutched in my hand a letter, signed with the name of the landlady's daughter and telling me gently but firmly that she had known for some time that the face of another voice believed to be hers had been given to another and that it would be better for us both—"best for you and best, for me" she quoted from our favorite back parlor ballad— THE APPEAL. Defective Page that we should part, and go our separate ways. She had already started on her separate way, as the letter purported me, in company with Mr. Radolf, whom she had married that morning, and who had depart by constant devotion. She admitted that as a man of fashion he was inferior to myself, and there was infinite consolation to me in this thought, but he had proved himself a true friend and an ardent lover, and she felt that her future was safe in his hands. In conclusion, she wished me every happiness, and begged for forgiveness if her words had given me any pain. They will can be the matter?" said the fashionista, snapping into her accustomed place beside me and looking at me with eyes of kindly concern.

So, having me at 8 (20) ofclock on the bridge (21) beneath which the fish (22) swam in the rising sun and The sight of this woman, the sound of her voice, the pressure of her hand, fanned my love, jealousy, vanity,rage or whatever it was that was troubling me into a fierce flame, and in the heart of that fiery furnace of affliction a sudden resolve was born. It was quite early on a Saturday afternoon, and I knew that by dinner time the boarding house would ring with the news and that when I took it customised pieces of the table it would be fashioned the fashion and tractive young gentleman who had been invited to two kettledrums and an "at home" within the month, but as an object of general contempt and ridicule; for, after all there is nothing funnier to the world than a jilted lover. Most of all, I dreaded the rather coarse humor with whom I had not taken the trouble to make myself popular. To escape this flood of ridicule—and vanity fears laughter more than death—I must do something that would make people sit up and take notice. There would be no laugher could I enter the dining room with the fashionable widow on my arm as my affaned bride, and I turned to her with a heart that was stirred by the laughter of the teacher teaches its pupils to express. Taking her hand in mine, I poured out these emotions in a flood that was like molten lava. "My dear boy," she said, patting me kindly on the knuckles with her disengaged hand, "if I had not known that you were engaged I never would have dreamed of flirting with you. Don't you know that I've got one husband already, and between you and me that's quite enough. I don't know exactly where he i's, but he's on earth! You may depend on that!" I upstairs and packed my trunk. I hardly knew how to face the dinner table that night. Long afterward I learned that the fashionable widow was a society reporter, brought to the house by the astute Radcliff, who had already discovered my weakness, and who truly loved and was loved by the landlady's daughter, even if she had been influenced for the movement by such forces as maternal authority, pique and a childlike belief in the fashionable friends who never sent me an invitation except when they could not help it, and the wealthy man who was the owner of our branch of the family for years, and who eventually died unreconciled and left his money to foreign missions. I poured out these emotions in a flood that was like molten lava. How One Dog Rescued Another. An instance of a dog's devotion is reported by M. K. Gleason of Warren. Mr. Gleason and others noted a big shepherd dog on the railroad bridge over the Allegheny barking frantically. The animal ran to them and then back to one of the center piers, where it stopped and looked down. Finally the men secured a ladder and going out on the bridge clambered down and found a fox terrier dog that had fallen there. When the little dog was rescued the joy of the shepherd was unbounded, and it manifested its gratitude by jumping upon the men and licking their hands. What Counts in a Story As I heard a famous raconteur telling a story I had heard in one form or another for many years I could not but recall the statement of some one to the effect that there are but five stories extant and that all we have are merely variations from the original five. As Gen. Taylor, who is something of a story teller himself, puts it, "The story doesn't amount to anything. It's the edition that counts." 1 A RECUMBENT FIGURE. 2 The March hare. 3 The hatter. 4 Napoleon. 5 and 6 A Red Indian and his squaw. 1 A recumbent figure. 2 The March hare. 3 The hatter. 4 Napoleon. 5 and 6 A Red Indian and his squaw.

But he was too late, and, like a sensible man, forgave the It is probable that Tangrams were originally designed not as a pastime, but as a means of instruction, though how they were exactly employed is not now known. Prof. Max Mueller said that the "science of Tangrams gives evidence of a higher state of civilization than now exists in China." Prof. Challenger records that there were originally seven books of Tangrams, compiled in China 2,000 years before the Christian era. These books are so rare, writes Henry E. Dudeney in the Christmas number of the Strand Magazine, that after forty years' residence in the country, he bought a set of perfect copies of the first and seventh volumes, with fragments of the second. Portions of one of the books, printed in gold leaf upon parchment, were found in Peking by an English soldier, and sold for 300 pounds. 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 A few years ago a little book came into my possession, from the library of the late Lewis Carroll, entitled "The Fashionable Chinese Puzzle." It contains 323 Tangram designs, mostly nondescript geometrical figures, to be constructed from the seven pieces. It said: "This ingenious contravence has for some time past been the favorite amusement of the ex-Emperor Napoleon, who, being now in a debilitated state and living very retired, passes many hours a day in thus exercising his patience and ingenuity." The reader will find, as did the great exile, that much amusement, not wholly unstructive, may be derived from former the designs of others. The House That Jack Built. lovers, and seating himself in a chain (25) at the inn called for a pipe (34) and a mug of good ale (37). When the old man died at a pipe age, Edwin and Angelina set up a stonebush (38) in affectionate memory of him and lived happily ever after." Now, here is a special puzzle. All the pictures illustrating the preceding story can be formed with the seven tangrams, except one, which is quite impossible. Can you find out which one it is by building them all in turn? Or can you make a guess after careful inspection? A Game of Billiards. By using several sets of tangrams at the same time we may construct more ambitious pictures. In "A Game of Billards" the players are considering a very delicate stroke at the top of the table. Of course, the two men and the table are formed from three sets of tangrams. It is said that Gustave Dore "dored Tangrams," and the father of J. S. Sargent (John Singer of Philadelphia) compiled two books of designs that have descended to Sam Loyd, whose mother was Mrs. Singer's sister. One wonders whether an early acquaintance of Tangrams may not have stimulated the interest of these two distinguished artists and helped them to develop a sense of design. Finally, I give an example from the many curious paradoxes that one happens upon in manipulating tangrams. I show designs of two dignified indi- From the figures reproduced here it is evident that many graceful and striking artistic results may be had from the Tangram. Also that the inventive faculties may be stimulated. Take the two stories here given. The first is: "The House That Jack Built." This is the cock (8) that crowed in the morn that woke the priest, (9) all shaven and shorn, that married the man all tattered and torn (10), that kissed the maiden all forlorn (11), that milked the cow with the crumpled horn (12), that tossed the dog (13), that worried the cat (14), that killed the rat (15) that ate the malt (16) that lay in the house (17) that Jack built." viduals in the small illustration at the top of this article, who appear to be exactly alike, except for the fact that one has a foot and the other has not. Now, both of these figures are constructed from the seven tangrams. Where does the second man get his foot from? As every picture is constructed with the same seven pieces, they are necessarily all of the same size as the cow, and the malt is as big as the house that contained it. But it is, of course, always possible to correct this that contained it.

The demand for exact definitions and descriptions has brought out the fact that no living human be can tell what whisky is. Suppose the whisky rules were applied to cigars and tobacco. What state of mind would smokers be in if the tobacco people were required to define "Havana cigars"? As it is, there exists a strong belief among consumers that the choicest cigars are constructed of the choicest Connecticut and Pennsylvania stock, but if the manufacturers were once forced to the admission that they really don't know what Havana cigars are, the uncertainty would be distressing. Most of the Havana cigars now sold are an awful mystery. PARTIALITY IN STATUES. Bostonian Complains That Soldiers Get More Than Their Share. "Under my window in Boston was dedicated the other day a statue of Gen. Banks," writes Edwin D. Mead, in Outlook. "Still nearer my window is the great equestrian of Gen. Hooker, quite dwarfing the modest figures of Daniel Webster and Horace Mann further back in the state house yard. "Now, I have a very considerable respect for Gen. Banks and Gen. Hooker, but I cannot forget that there is no statue in Boston of Emerson or Lowell or Whittier or Longfellow, whom there is vastly higher reason, as there would be vastly greater benefit, for Boston to honor. "There are statues of Gen. Glover and Col. Cass, of whose services not one reader in a thousand could give slightest account, but there is no memorial of John Adams or John Quincy Adams, the two great Massachusetts presidents of the United States. "The streets and squares of Washington swarm with statues, but it is no exaggeration to say that three quarters of them are of generals and admirals, and even most of these men whom even the high school boys of the city know but little. "There is next to nothing among them to remind the visitor from Mars or from Maryland that the nation of Washington and Jefferson and Franklin—whose judgment of war and of the proper prominence of the soldier in their new republic is remembered by some of us—ever produced a poet or historian, a scholar or teacher, a painter or sculptor, a philosopher or philanthropist, a statesman or a man of science worthy of notice, or that up to date it really honors enough to spend any money to show it, any vacation save the warrior's. It is the measure of our barbarism." RUSH OF JEWISH BRIDES Their Flames in America Sending for Them—Six on One Ship. There has been a considerable increase recently in the Jewish immigration, though for the most part la has been of families coming to join their husbands and fathers already here. But there has been also, according to the American Hebrew, a large influx of girls, many of them coming at the request of their fancies. The examinations in these cases are very rigid, and many seek to fool the immigration officers by posing as brothers or as persons already married, so as to be discharged without having to prove there is any purpose of living as husband, or wife without formal marriage, but in order that the bride may be delivered direct to the intended husband. There were over half a dozen such cases on the steamship Malone alone. The girls were either required to have relatives call for them or were taken out by the Clara de Hirsch home, which saw that those who were ready and willing to marry at once did so, or else they were found employment and will be befriended until they are ready to be married, homes be occupied, and respectable families, preferably among the townspeople of the alien. The Alternative. A Philadelphia woman, whose given name is Mary, as is also the name of her daughter, had recently engaged a domestic when, to her embarrassment, she discovered that the servant's name too was Mary. Whereupon there ensued a struggle to induce the applicant to relinquish the idea that she must be addressed by her Christian name. For some time she was unable to understand "under the circumstances," said the lady of the house, "there is nothing to do but to follow the English custom and call you by your last name. What is it?" "Well, mum," answered the girl, dubiously, "it's 'Darling.'"

In Early Days of the Rail This Was as Effective as the Red Light Now, But the Times Have Changed. Among the first railroads ever laid in this country were the Hartford & New Haven and the Boston & Providence—both new parts of that great N. Y., N. H. & H. system which comes near to controlling the transportation business of all New England. The early railroad corporations conducted their affairs on a somewhat different basis from the present day corporation. One old farmer on the line of the B. & P., just outside of Providence, was urged to give the struggling road permission to lay its tracks through his farm. Being a Yankee, it was natural for him to look to the main chance in every transaction, and aside from the great public benefit that the building of the road was supposed to be, he wanted to know what he was going to get out of it. Why, you'll want to ride to town on it. It would be suggested, the trains will travel faster than a horse." "Ah, but your station is two miles in the other direction. Don't do me any good." grumbled the farmer. So they told him that when he wanted to go to town all he had to do was to go down to the railroad, stand beside the track, swing his hat when the train came along, and it would stop for him. And it did, too, for some years. Then the company began to make money—began to "feel its oats" as it were—and new and younger men got control. A new superintendent was put on that branch of the road, and riding over the line one day he saw the farmer stop a train in this area. Nothing to say that was the last time the old man was so accommodated. He could swing his old hat till he was blue in the face thereafter and, as he said himself in after years, "She'd whi' by an" would not even hesitate!" Speed was certainly not the first object of the early railroads. Freight was what the promoters of the "railroad kyars" were after. Stage coach driven held the new-fangled trains in much contempt. In the beginning cars traveled little if any faster than the coaches. Supt. Davidson of the old N. H. & H. once told of driving with his behind team of horses, in 1840 when they had a trainenger train near Wallingford. Combine the railroad and turnip are parallel for three or four miles, and for all that distance the carriage kept pace with the railroad train. Sometimes an inch of snow on the rails would stop a train. Henry C. White, one of the first conductors on that road, related how he and the baggage master used to sit on the pilot of the locomotive, one on each side, and brush off the snow from the rails with a broom as the train slowly crawled on. Each had a pail of sand and now then sprinkled a shovelful on the slippery rails. The driving wheels (engines only had one pair then), used to skip most traction way, and a grade on a wet day would help to turn a man's head gray! On one occasion a train got stuck on the Galesville grade by one inch of snow, and the wood and water gave out before the locomotive could pull to the top. At length they got out the neighbors, yoked four pairs of oxen to the train, and drew it, passengers, baggage and all, into Meriden with flying colors! **Hero of Forest Fire Retired.** "Jim" Root, oldest engineer of the Northern Pacific railway, has been laid off, but, although he has ceased to work, he will continue to draw his pay as if he was running an engine. He is now 73 years old. Root wom fame for his heroic deed in saving the passengers on his train from being roasted alive when they were caught at Hincley, Wis., in a forest fire five years ago. He was running a train between Duluth and St. Paul. He ran his engine to Hickley, which was found to be in ashes. Suddenly the wind fanned the forest fires and the train was surrounded by flames. Root stuck to his throttle while the fireman dipped water from the engine's tank and threw it on him and on the cab to keep them from burning. The smoke was suffocating and the heat terrific, but the members of the crew stayed at their posts until the train reached Skunk creek, where all escaped to the water and were saved. LEFT HANGING OVER RAVINE. A recent cloudburst near Telluride, Col., swept all the supporting work of these tracks away, leaving the rails and ties suspended over a deep gulch. Nearly 200 feet of track was thus left suspended, and only the timely discovery of the washout prevented a Denver & Rio Grande railroad train from running into the gulch.—Popular Mechanics.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 23, 1909. A VOICE IN THE GOVERNMENT. THE APPEAL can agree very cordially with much of the sentiment of the following extract from the Washington Post, but cannot swallow the oyster whole. "In this the most democratic of nations, every individual ought to have a voice in the government. It is not merely his right, but his duty; to qualify for this duty he must be educated. Those Southern States which demand of certain classes of their citizens educational qualifications before admitting them to the right of the ballot are following a correct principle, in so far as that portion of their franchise laws goes. But no State has the right to deny a citizen the privilege of the ballot through his lack of educational fitness, and then keep back from him the opportunities for that education. There can be no class of persons in the world whose capacities for self-support and for exercising the duties of citizenship are not immeasurably improved by an education fitted to its needs." THE APPEAL insists that educational qualifications if laid down should apply to all and not merely to T. H. COPYRIGHT BIDLESTRUSH S. LOUIS National Committeeman from Missouri, who took the place of Chairman Hitchcock during his absence from Chicago during the campaign. Mr. Nixon was the president of the Afro-Americans, had charge of the work among the Afro-American leaders, and recent presidential campaign. He is now said to be alated for a Cahightle agent. "The idea that the South can afford," said Mr. Taft, "to have the Afro-American transplanted to some other country to me always sounded like a joke. They tried that down in Mississippi, and they were going to move then, not out of the country to Africa, but only across the river, and hoped a riot. Of course, that is absurd. "But if the Afro-American would be respected he must make himself worthy of respect. He must cultivate those virtues of providence, of sacrifice, of thrift which will make him respected as a laborer, as a farmer, as a skilled mechanic, as a man contributing to the wealth of the community in which he lives, and without whose aid the accumulation of that wealth is impossible. "I want to add that I always want to say before an Afro-American audience that you are Americans. The idea of transplanting you is utterly absurd. The only flag you know is the Stars and Stripes, and you are of a race that has given up their lives and moistened the ground with their "cettain classes of citizens" and is a little suspicious of the phrase "fitted to its needs" which is slipped in at the end of the extract. The question what kind of education is adapted to make a safe citizen and voter has not been discussed very largely; but it is evident that mere book education does not answer the requirement, for the country is full of educated villains. Thousands of aliens in the North, who know nothing and care less for republican principles, are admitted to the electorate with great celerity and little ceremony; while it is assumed that Afro-Americans born in this country and knowing nothing else than its principles and habits of thought constitute an immense peril to the nation. But no danger is anticipated from admitting to the suffrage thousands of white persons who are as ignorant as a blind kitten. THE APPEAL submits as a question for elucidation: What kind of education and bringing up qualities a person "to have a voice in the government?" THE FUTURE OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. Democratic politicians all over the country are studying deeply the problem of how to put together their one-hoss shay, which went to pieces blood in defense of that flag, and will continue to do so. "Thereafter, as the President of the United States to be, if the Lord spares me until March 4, I must feel that I had not discharged my duty in coming into this country, if I spoke at all, without speaking to the colored people as an important part of the South, and as Americans entitled to the same earnest concern that I hope the Lord may give me to manifest with respect to a whole united people." Mr. Taft was introduced as "the most popular and conspicuous citizen of the United States, America's greatest statesman, our uncrowned king, for whom we wish a successful administration and a second term," by the famous Dr. Walker, known as the "Black Surgeon." Dr. Walker pointed a bright present and a brighter future for the Afro-Americans of Georgia, who owned, he said, a million acres of land in the state and paid taxes on $20,000,000 worth of property. This report Mr. Taft regarded as most encouraging. in the recent election, "all at once and nothing first." Of course, the general tendency is to return to that imaginary golden age, whereof and whencecon the Democratic orators descent so inspiringly, when they let themselves loose. Now, it happens to be the case that the most notable exploits of the party during that golden age were all in the line of maintaining and extending the institution of human slavery all over the land, and, incidentally, the oppression and degradation of the Afro-American race. The black laws of the North, the slave codes of the South, the mobbing of Garrison, the murder of Lovejoy, the Dread Scott Decision, the Kansas-Nebraska Act, the Fugitive Slave Law and the hanging of John Brown embrace but a "frazile" of the dreary and disgusting crimes against liberty and against the government for which the Democratic party was directly responsible. It is a hopeful sign that some of the prominent members of the party can see that if the Democratic party attempts to revive the past its future is hopeless—it has no future. Unless all signs fall President Taft will fill the presidential chair in a very satisfactory manner both as to its seating capacity and as regards his Afro-American constitutents. C 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 forbidding the coeducation of the black children and white children. The supreme one 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 together. "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 beforehand 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 beaditious which the opinion is based, it is said: "It is undoubtedly true that the reserved power to alter or amend is subject to some limitations and that under the guse of an amendment a contract may not always be enforceable from the corporation or the stockholders; it is settled that a power reserved to the corporation to alter, amend, or repeal a charter or thorizes 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. HON. CHARLES Who was inaugurated Governor of Springfield, Monday. 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. S. 246, which held that a state might in insurance 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. S. 557. Mr. Justice Hartan, with whom Mr. Justice Day concurs, files a vigorous dissent, insisting that the statute must stand or fall as an entitley, and that the question which the court must decide is "whether it is a crime under any circumstances to educate white children and Negro children under the same roof." Regarding that as the question, he proceeds to state some rather startling consequences which in his judgment follow from the decision, and which of course his associates are as far as he from sanctioning. "If the lower court be right," he says, "then a state may make it a crime for white and colored persons to frequent the same market places at the same time, or appear in an assemblage of citizens convened to consider questions of a public, or political nature in which all citizens, without regard to race, are equally interested. Many other illustrations might be given to show the mischievous, not to say cruel, character of the statute in question, and how inconsistent such legislation is with the great principle of the equality of citizens before the law."—Law Notes, Northport, N. Y. The Afro-American and the Public Schools of the South. To the Colored People of the South: This is the third time that I have had the privilege of speaking to you in this way upon what I consider the most vital subject, outside of religion, that concerns our race. Action upon it cannot be delayed or omitted without the most serious consequences to this and succeeding gen- our colored children in the country districts where from 80 to 85 per 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 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 for public school education in the cities and larger towns are good for the most part, but I know of the towns where Afro-American teachers are paid not more than $15 per month, and of all of these they must board themselves. This means practically no school, for a teacher born more than九个月 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 Texas spent upon him as per school population in public schools $26.42, while taking the South as a whole for the same year each Afro-American child had spent upon him as per school population from 50 cents to $1.50 in the different Southern States. At such rate, does our children believe that we can educate our children. Important denser, and crime, lawlessness and the efficiency will increase. Something must be done and that speedily. What is the remedy? Let parents and leaders get into close and sympathetic touch with the local and county and state officials and make known the condition and the needs of the children. If one effort does not succeed, make another and another. You, yourselves, must make your wants known, no one can or will do it for you. We must in a firm, conservative and yet polite manner insist on 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 receiv- S. DEENAN of Illinois for the Second Term at ing 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 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 the money this fall that you would throw away in providing for the proper education of your children. We must, as a reason to learn to make sacrifices. It is better that we go without proper clothing, that we go hungry, live on bread and water even if necessary, rather than neglect the education of our children. Let each person, teacher or minister, who reads these words, begin at once and stir the people to action in his immediate county. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON.

The Cause of Accidents Accidents may be divided into three great classes—those due to carelessness, those due to falling eyesight or falling limbs, and what the lawyers call pure or inevitable accidents, of which last class there are extremely few.

Among the musical numbers which are introduced in the new and successful melodramatic play, "Lucky," are the three songs which have attained great popularity. These are, "Bye, Bye, Dear Old, Oldway," "I'm Lonely," and "I Won't Be Home 'till Late. Dear." This latter is sung with the introduction of some really remarkable electrical effects which makes its rendition very telling. In the final act of the play, Mr. Sankey wrote the words and music of "I'm Lonely," and "I Won't Be Home 'till Late, Dear." He has composed a stirring number which he calls, "The Lucky Jim March," which is played between the acts with the star conducting the orchestra. Joseph Santley is a most versatile young man and an explexent man, with a variety of characters he has portrayed in his six years that he has been a star, stamp him as a thorough player, whose knowledge of stage technique leaves little to be desired. In addition he is one of the best looking young man behind the footlights. "Jim March" is a stamp Jim, melodrama of exceptional interest, well written, yet telling a plausible and very interesting story. Mr. Santley is supported by a large and well balanced company, his production is said to be an elaborate one, and melodrama should have much to loot. Joseph Santley presents "Lucky Jim" at the Grand for the week commencing Sunday matinee, Jan. 24. Do you smoke the Habit? It's a fine habit. Wagner Hall for Rent.

Had No Assistance Even in Placing the Big Heavy Rafters A neat little bungalow located in the outskirts of Long Beach, built by a pretty little woman, is attracting attention. The builder is Mrs. Frank Nottingham, who is a prominent worker in the Y. W. C. A. Miss Gertrude Gilbert, matron for the Y. W. C. A, wanted a home, owned a lot and had about $120 with which to erect a house. She knew this would be impossible if she were compelled to hire carpenters at $3 a day. Mrs. Nottingham talked the matter over with her and finally said she would undertake to build it and would not charge her a penny for her job. Though she had never built so much as a chicken house before, the plucky woman was confident. Armed with a rusty saw, hatchet, plane and level, she started to work. She devoted exactly 100 hours to the undertaking, and a short time ago turned the house over to its owner. The bungalow is 18 by 20 feet in dimensions, and contains seven windows and two doors. Mrs. Nottingham had no assistance, placing the big heavy rafters alone and performing feats a carpenter would shun. "My mother was handy with a hammer," said Mrs. Nottingham, "but other than this I cannot explain my ability to drive a nail." Many Languages of Mexico During the festas of Christmas or the week of All Souls and Al Saints, when the Indians swarm down from the mountains with their holiday wares for sale, visitors in the City of Mexico may notice the strange language that the venders use in addressing each other. Even when they return to serve the purchaser their Spanish is neither Castilian nor Mexican, but is frequently broken by peculiar syllables and accents. This is merely an illustration of the fact that the Indian languages of old Mexico have not been entirely submerged by the conquering Spanish, and in some of the most remote districts of the republic various and distinct languages handed down from the pre-Columbian era are still spoken in their pristine purity by many tribe members. A Catfish's Timeline Henry Schmidt, proprietor of a fish booth in St. Louis, found in the stomach of a forty-eight pound catfish a woman's gold watch and chain.

He thinks some excursionists dropped the watch overboard.

A novel suggestion was put forward at yesterday's international art con- gress at the Victoria and Albert Muse- uum by Mr. Alexander Millar, a promin- ent manufacturer’ and designer, who urged the need for systematic color training and recommended the estab- lishment of “color musoums.” ‘This idea he explained, had received sym- pathetic support from many great art- ists. In every educational center and in every school there should be cok, leetions of objects selected for thelr deauty of color aloue, There should be analytic color sections, showing the color scheme apart from the ac- cidents 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 witch 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 colleeti 1 be not formed now it might be that one hundred years hence our musenm authorities would ‘ny at a fancy price a collection of imperfect fragments of the very stuffs which could be now acquired for a aomiinal 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 aa important part. OFF THE SPROCKET. Little Mishap to an Automobile Wag: on Easily Set Right. Not so many things happen to auto- mobiles now ag once did, but evey so not all mishaps are as casily and quickly adjusted as was this one. Going around a corner the drive chain on one side of an automobile celivery wagon came off the rear sprocket, a mishap which the driver uimost 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 whee! from which the chain had drop- ped. Le lifted up the chain and set two oe three links of it over as many teeth cf the froward part of the sprocket wheel, and holding the chain there he calicd to the driver; “pack her.” Ani the driver backed gently, the man holding the chain, and in a mo- ment the chain clicked back all right on the sprocket wheel, “That sounds good to muh,” sald the wan, and then he ran around and climbed to bis place on the wagon geat again, and the next moment the outit was again on its way.

Farmer's Mishap That Stopped Travel 60a French Hlahway. eS N Tce. cory eee ee A curious incident is reported from St. Prieure, near Chambery, where two colonies of bees in a state of insurrection have routed ey- erybody 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 hfs hurry upset the other hive, trom 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 ox- en and stung them so fiercely that the two beasts started on a mad race down the road and were finally stop- ped by a woman, who in tum 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 vil lagers. So savage have the bees become that the highway fs still sald to be in their possessitn, and the inhabit- ants have to be well protected to ven- ture 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 mperative and un- breakable rule, but was at length ‘evaded by a strategem. At one elec tion 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 mal contents therefore abstained from voting, But when only a few minutes or the legal time for balloting remained and the servants were at the point of re moving the ballot boxes an over whelming number of the candidate's friends rushed in and elected him be fore the slightest opposition could be organized. After this the absurd sys tem of blackballing was dropped, and the club to-day is still alive and pros perous. In Leap Year. .
