THIRTY-THREE YEARS IN SOLITARY How Jessie Pomeroy, World's Most Famous Boy Murderer, Has Learned Sciences. VOL. 25. NO. 13. In a small stone cell ever since the Centennial exhibition at Philadelphia there has been locked up in the Massachusetts state prison in Charlestown a life prisoner whose name is familiar to all New England, perhaps to a large portion of the reading public. Since he has been there the United States has added 20,000,000 inhabitants to its population. He is the only prisoner in Massachusetts undergoing continuous solitary confinement. The warm and cheering sun never shines upon him. For thirty-three years his face has never been seen to brighten with a smile. Regarding this extraordinary character New England knows more false stories than on almost any other subject. Persistent publicity regarding him has contained fewer actual facts than ever before kept life in so prolonged discussion. Against no prisoner—at least in Massachusetts—has public indication been so continuously bitter. Here will be presented for the first time many facts hitherto unpublished regarding Jesse Pomeroy. It is against a fliendish newsboy and his crimes that the public memory still intends intense indignation. But in Pomeroy's case the boy nor friend. Behind his grated reading hour after hour a man arrived at his maturity, a penitent, so sobered and tempered with the passing of fifty long years of an unusual life. Surrounding him, almost within a hundred yards of his cell, is the turmoil of a city's busiest industries—factories, warehouses, railroads, shipping of all kinds—that he has not seen for thirty-three years. All about him are wonders of electrical invention—elevated railroads, telephones, are lights—but he knows of them only through pictures and hearsay, as does a remote barbarian. With the very essence of the twentieth century all about him, this man lives in the solitude of a medieval monk. He is no part of the age in which he lives. Right in the town of his birth he is exiled by society. He has no future to anticipate, and so, with his face turned toward the past, he duplicates the life of an anchorage of the dark ages, with the three vows enforced upon him by the commonwealth of Massachusetts. Strange youth that he was, and peculiar man that the unusual circumstances of his life have developed Pomeroy is a rarity for psychological study. Not alone are psychologists, however, to but penalties, lawyers interested in the evolution of legal interpretations his case will stand in histories like a signboard on a devious road. Valuable subject that he is of many fields of intellectual endeavor, however, accurate data regarding him are meager and difficult to obtain. Much Untruth Told. Were this a paternal government where a strict censorship could be placed upon publicity or where the topic could be absolutely placed under the bar it is probable that Jesse Pomeray's name would long ago have been eliminated from type. All officialdom would rejoice if the public could forget his name. Curiosity regarding him, nevertheless, continues year after year, and the public humbly swallows the scanty news of him that is made known in spite of official prohibitions. What has been printed about him since his imprisonment is the fact and nine parts imagination. In the public mind has created the conception of the prisoner which would be difficult to correct. If it is at all possible to get an outraged public consider dispassionately the subject of its prejudice, however, it would not be difficult to explain to this public that Pomeray has received much injustice. His crimes were bad enough, but the subject of the causes of his crime has always been hinted at publicly as unfit for public discussion. So it has happened that the whole subject has been unknown to the condemning public and Pomeray has received the full force of complete opprobrium, whereas he has been in part deserving of sympathy. It may be centuries before will dare to present American prisoners will dare to present a view that the society which heaped upon the treme punishment upon an individual was itself responsible for allowing an irresponsible defective his liberty, and then, terrified at what came to pass because of such neglect, not only locking the barn after the horse was stolen, but avenging itself upon the luckless individual. In years to come Massachusetts will be no more proud of the way the state handled the case of this dangerous defective than Massachusetts is now proud that it once burned witches in Salem. The case will some day—after the story of the crimes is forgotten—serve to illustrate the relations between vigorous public opinion and the execution of justice. Thinking so strongly of Pomeroy's crimes, the public little cared that a mere boy, fourteen years old, and was satisfied when he was beaten, would be to be hanged by the neck until dead. But this public did not know the whole story. With the pictures of reeking outrages in their eyes, the individuals who made up that public cared not for causes and psychological explanations. A An hour of exercise in a small brick walled yard. The governor and the governor's council, however, knew these details and spared the state the spectacle of hanging the child. Yet it was an unusual case, and the public demanded unusual vengeance. From this fact may be explained why the prisoner is now living under conditions more familiar to the days of the Bastille and in the unhappy fiction of Dumas and Balzac. With such circumstances born of high public feeling, it is little wonder that the prisoner this case thrust upon them discourage any publicity that will keep the subject ranking in public opinion. Pomeroy is a survival. The judges who tried him, the attorney general and the district attorney who prosecuted him, the lawyer who defended him and the governor who spared his life—all have been dead many years. New governors, new keepers, year after year becoming responsible for his care, have inherited from their predecessors traditions regarding him. It is a custom, almost a secret compact, that so far as the public is concerned, Pomeroy died thirty-three years ago. He lives where the public is protected from him and where he is protected from the public is to official thinking a professional matter, a legal formality and a detail of prison routine exclusively the business of proper officials. Inaccurate Stories. Such officials, with the exception of Pomeroy's heart broken relatives, monopolize the personal facts of his existence. The relatives also bitterly oppose any publicity. In a recent petition to the governor asking for a pardon, the following statement was made: "The sun never shines on his head; he cannot go to the chapel; he is denied association with human beings. The prisoner has had no opportunity here, and has been handicapped by the unfounded but persistent newspaper notoriously in the case." The handicap of this publicity can be attributed to the inaccuracy and the lack of a presentation of the complete facts. If the world really knew that Pomeroy's crimes came from a malady over which he had no control, and really knew what it means for a human being to be shut in a small cell without human association for thirty-three years, public opinion would probably ask executive authority to extend to the prisoner at least a few harmless privileges. His only hope is publicity of actual facts. If he has been handicapped or has suffered more severely than he has deserved merely remedy to a reality. If the public could actually understand Pomeroy through accurate publicity it is probable that instead of being hated he would be plotted, and that his declining years would end under restrictions more humane and more merciful. An hour of exercise in To explain what he is today it is necessary first to rehearse briefly the backgrounds of his life. Since Sept. 7, 1876, when he was seventeen years old, he has been denied the association even of other prisoners. He will be fifty yeras old on next Nov. 23. He was not yet thirteen years old when he was first taken into custody. Upon his confession of torturing and mutilating boys of four to six years of age he was sent to the reform school in Westboro Sept. 20, 1872. He was parowned and released from this school on Feb. 6, 1874. Very soon after he killed and buried in the collar of his father's store a little girl five years old. On the following April 22, the blackest day in his history, he was arrest- THE APPEAL. ed, charged with the atrocious slaughter of a five-year-old boy in South Boston. In September he was convicted and sentenced to be hanged. He was not yet fifteen years old. The supreme court, without avail, reviewed his defense of insanity. On Aug. 31, 1876, after the governor's council had listened to a review of extenuating circumstances in his beating, Rice commuted the sentence. The document under which Pomeroy is held reads, "We do, by and with the advice of our council, grant to him, the said Jesse Harding Pomeroy, a commutation of the punishment which he is liable to endure by the aforesaid sentence to that of solitary imprisonment at hard labor in the state prison during his natural life." "Solitary!" That one word in the decree differentiates Pomeroy's past thirty-three years from those of other "ilfers." His cell is the most sequestered in he has the regulation bath. Once a month his aged mother—she is now nearing seventy years of age—is permitted to make him a brief visit. The governor, the governor's council and the prison commissioners see him on their yearly or sometimes more frequent visits to the prison. He rarely sees prison officials, except his keeper and the chaplain. The venerable chaplain provides him with reading. Despite his senteney, Pomeroy has not labored for years. This is one rare subject upon which he can exercise his will, and he refuses to work. This demonstration of will power is not the same as the demonstration of officers, he is uncompelled. It would be unprofitable trouble to force him. He has practiced penmanship until his handwriting is beautifully perfect. It looks like Spencerian copperplate artfully shaded, firm, regular and small lettered. He has the call of 8,000 books in the prison library and of about 500 Have you ever noticed the face of the head on the American pen of an Indian's head, you say. You wrong—at least if the claim of it of the man who made the copier is true. The face is a woman's. But you say, there are feathers the head. Is that not the head of an Indian? Ah, but you have observed the tures, the contour of the face? into your pocket and look at the coin. Are those the features He would place a cup of water for the birds to bathe in. that isolated fortress within the prison on yard known as Cherry Hill. It is in a wing built on the east of the main building, doortrees, except from the interior of the main building and conspicuous because its only windows are small square holes in its eaves, which look-like ventilators in a cold storage house. That such a place must be wholesome is evidenced by Pomeroy's ordinary health and by the fact that his brown hair has not yet turned to gray. His pale and sallow face, however, shows that he lives in perpetual shadow. That his light must be better than might be expected is shown by the amount of reading he accomplishes with the use of only one eye, Vision with the other eye is obstruct. a small brick walled yard. ed by a white film, which with years has become almost opaque. Customarily every day he sees nobody except the deputy in charge of Cherry Hill. This alert watchman constantly patrols the corridors and at frequent intervals notelessly and suddenly peers at Pomeroy through the grating without engaging in needless conversation. To the lone prisoner one day is like another. From morning till night, season after season, he reads and plans and studies. In pleasant weather his keeper can relieve his monotony somewhat by an hour of exercise in a small brick walled yard, the solitary's private garden. His meals are the regular prison fare, but he must eat them without knife or fork. Once a week he has the regulation bath. Once a month his aged mother—she is now nearing seventy years of age—is permitted to make him a brief visit. The governor, the governor's council and the prison commissioners see him on their yearly or sometimes more frequent visits to the prison. He rarely sees prison officials, except his keeper and the chaplain. The venerable chaplain provides him with reading. Despite his sentence, Pomeroy has his rare subject. This is rare subject upon which he exercises his will, and he refuses to work. As this demonstration of will power is not known to other prisoners, he is not compelled. It would be unprofitable trouble to force him. He has practiced penmanship until his handwriting is beautifully perfect. It looks like Spencerian copperplate artfully shaded, firm, regular and small lettered. He has the call of 8,000 books in the prison library and of about 500 from the chaplain's private collection. For thirty-three years he has read from them. Of late years he has outgrown a fondness for fiction and has read his time with history and in the acquiring of foreign languages. He has a reading knowledge of Latin, German, French, Spanish, Italian and Arabic. Of his proficiency he alone knows; but with his lexicons he translates from the foreign books. His favorite novels are Balacaz and Dumas. At times he has read a German newspaper, presumably for practice in German, as he has practiced reading French newspapers. Ironical, as it seems, although his life is bounded by narrow walls, he finds a sustaining interest in a magazine of outdoor pastimes and princely country estates. He has said that if he were ever permitted his liberty he would get a farm in some isolated portion of Maine where he would raise poultry for the rest of his days. Among the errors in newspaper accounts of Pomeroy a few may be corrected in. In keeping with the former public notion of the prisoner's crimes Pomeroy has been the victim of lurid accounts of how he tortured and mutilated rats, birds and other pets. It need only be asked where he would get access to such animals in his cell. It is true that he has the canary bird in his cell, but he cherished it highly. In the morning he would take a cup of water for the bird to bathe in, and then he would watch it as it swirled wings and made its way out of the prison into the sunshine. The bird stay away about an hour at a time While Pomeroy would meanwhile entertain himself in anticipating its return. In Pomeroy's day science was not advanced in explaining such mysteries. The acts which he committed were not judged in this light. The boy was convicted on the basis of a criminal; and his deeds were considered as the work of a friend. The State of Massachusetts, which has recognized the scientific explanation of Jane Topman's crimes, has placed Pomeroy in a felon's cell, where he has endured thirty-three years that have been centuries to him. Public opinion, which has been the great power behind the official working of justice, has not been in possession of a full knowledge of the prisoner. The public has never dreamed that Pomeroy may be no more responsible for his slaughter than is a blind man because he cannot see, a deaf man because his ears do not hear. The boy victim of an abnormal nature has grown to manhood and a cell without knowing why he had impulses whose performances lured him into a stone room for life. Therefore today the man sits in his cell ingredient of the boy he once was. He has been the promptings of his boyhood. He has become a reasoning man. He is now at the age when serious reasoning is dominant. He has outgrown the emotion of his youth. His long years of study have developed his intellect, which in turn has usurped the dominance of his body. Such a being as he is today, Pomeroy cannot accept his fate as justice. Unconscious of the wellsprings of his deeds, he has become a different being. Unable to believe that the deeds of the boy were the deeds of his will, Pomeroy feels convinced that he was not responsible for what he did. The mature man, unwilling to accept responsibility for the boy of long ago, has thought out for himself a philosophy of fatalism. Powers over which he had no control, he argues, urged the helpless boy in the unfortunate He cannot see the ethics or the justice in a society that punishes him now. More often, he cannot believe that there is a God that would allow injustice to be heaped upon him. For this reason Pomeroy needs to tolerate the teachings of religion. He has no religious belief, no faith. He reasons that if there were a God, this superior force would not permit society to punish him. In such a predicament, feeling himself a victim of fate, it is not remarkable that he has never been known to smile in thirty-three years. His mind all the years has been imbued with the plot of an almost classic tragedy in which he has been a part—an old Greek drama theme where a mortal is the helpless prey of superhuman fate.

You know perfectly well that the less I wear the more it cost."—Judge THE HEAD ON THE PENNY Die Supposed to Represent an Indian Was Really Made From Woman's Face. * Have you ever noticed the features of the head on the American penny? An Indian's head, you say. You are wrong—at least if the claim of friends of the man who made the copper die is true. The face is a woman's. But, you say, there are feathers on the head. Is that not the headgear of an Indian? Ah, but you have observed the features, the contour of the face? Look into your pocket and look at the copper coin. Are those the features of an Indian? says the Detroit Times-Tribune. When the engraver made the die that is used in turning out the popular 1-cent coin he used the face of his daughter, and that is why a woman's face adorns the penny. Observe the long, thin, delicate nose, the low forehead, the essentially feminine lips. Then regard the picture of Mrs. Sarah Longacre Keen—mark the resemblance! Mrs. Keen, when a girl, is said to have furnished the model for the head of the cent. Mrs. Keen died in Philadelphia in January, 1906. For more than thirty years she had been corresponding with Women's Foreign Missionary society. Her entire life was devoted to religious work. She was a sweet and salty woman. How, you ask, was her face chosen to present Liberty—impersonated as an Indian face—on the coin? The story was first told by a-missionary who knew Mrs. Keen. During her lifetime she rarely spoke of the interesting fact—only after her death was the story revealed. Her father, James Barton Long-acre, was an engraver. He worked in MRS. J.F. KEEN. the Philadelphia mint, where the die for the cent was made. Sarah, his first child, was a slight and beautiful girl when he made the stamp of the pennies we now use. Sarah was his pride. She was for her age, tall supple and beautiful. Her face was sweet and refined. What was more natural than that when he engraved the die he should transfer to it the classic features of the child he so loved? Mrs. Keeen was born in Philadelphia Feb. 20, 1828. At the age of fifteen she was converted in the Union Methodist Episcopal church at a revival meeting at which were 200 conversions. She was married at the age of nineteen, on May 6, 1847, to John F. Keeen. Her married life was ideal. The couple lived happily for forty-four years, when Mr. Keeen died. The woman whose face is said to grace the cent was a thoroughly religious woman; she was imbued with the Christian spirit. About the time of her marriage the mother of Mrs. Keeen became deeply interested in the work of Dr. Welter and Mrs. Phoebe Palmer, who practiced the doctrine of living upon higher planes in the daily life. In the winter of 1848 Mrs. Keeen's mother began a series of "Tuesday meetings." There plous women met, prayed and told one another how they overcame their temptations and met their struggles. The meetings continued for thirty-eight years. And they did not end at Mrs. Longacre's death. Mrs. Keen's father continued holding them, and when he passed away Mrs. Keen, with her brother, the Rev. Andrew Longacre, took his place. Mrs. Keen this time lived near the Hill this decade. The had been visitors to her home, and she was rearing a quite a family of children. Despite her family duties on Sundays, she gathered the children of Perfectly Equipped. When the large and healthy looking individual who had asked at the door for "a little something to eat" was told that he might if he would work a while at the woodpile, he shook his head mournfully. "I've got the ague," he explained, "my hand is that unstidly I didn't hit more" one stick in seven. "All right," exclaimed the mistress of the house. "Go out in the back yard and shake those ashes for me." HISTORICAL SOCIETY.

Each Sunday evening she invited the parents of the children to her home, and led a prayer meeting. And every Thursday afternoon she held a meeting in Haines' church. Foreign missionary lay work always appealed to Mrs. Keen and in 1970 she became corresponding secretary of the branch of the Woman's Foreign Missionary society in her city. She resigned only a few months before her death. Even while she lay in bed, scarcely able to move, Mrs. Keen dictated letters to missionaries. Some she advised, others she enthused, encouraged, begging them not to despair or give up their endeavors. Her letters always possessed the peculiar personal appeal; they were inspiring and devotional. After her death a missionary, Laura M. White, wrote: "Many a time in China I contrasted the crisp, formal, business communication sent by heads of other missions to the missionaries, with the loving, tender letters of counsel and help that always came from my own dear missionary mother. "How indulgent she was to us! Never was request made that she did not try to grant; and if that were impossible, the kindness and sympathy that came instead more than made up for the disappointment. "It was always easy to confess to her the trials and disappointments, the mistakes and failures of missionary life. And, in return, she dared tell us our faults and weaknesses, at the same time covering them by her mantle of charity from the gaze of others." AEROPLANES OF THE FUTURE. A Combination of the American and French Machines Predicted. Theoretically the problem of sight may now be completely solved, we are told by M. Painleve, a recent lecturer before the French Astronomical society in Paris. From this point of view, however, the solution, he says, is like a treasure in a chest so difficult to unlock that years might be required to get at it. The owner would be very apt to take an ax, and this is what experimenters like Wright and Farman have done in abandoning mathematical analysis for actual tests. Painleve thinks that the aeroplane has demonstrated its superiority to the dirigible balloon, which he regards as costly and useless, being incapable of further improvement. In this opinion he is at variance with most writers on the subject, who look upon these two types of fliers as destined to develop along different lines and for distinct uses. This lecturer and for distinct uses of the aeroplane between the American school and mechanical flight, as represented by the Wrights and the French school. The former, he says, must keep constantly maneuvering in order to balance, which is hard on the pilot; the latter depends on an automatic system of equilibrium. The American aeroplane is more supply and is more easily managed, but he considers the French safer. Probably the standard machine of the future will combine the advantages of both. First Freedman in the Army The first muster of freedmen into the United States army occurred on Nov. 7, 1862, at Gen. Saxton's headquarters in Beaufort, S. C. It was on the first anniversary of the capture of Port Royal and at the time of the organization of the department of the South. Capt. James had his men drawn up in line, and as he read the names from the roll each man answered "Here." Then with uncovered heads and right hands raised the men took the usual oath of allegiance, which was administered by Gen. Saxton. This simple ceremony over, the newly made soldiers marched back to their camp. "My dear," said a thin little Brighton man to his wife, "this paper says that there is a woman down in Dervonshire who goes out and chops wood with her husband." "Well, what of it? I think she could easily do it if he is as thin as you are. I have often thought of using you to peel potatoes with." The thin man laid down his paper with a sigh that sounded like the sousak of a benny whistle. $2.40 PER YEAR. HAVE MADE RECORD Comprehensive System of Lines Now Exists in the Philippine Group—Means Much for Prosperity of Islands. Two years ago a party of engineers sailed from Seattle, their destination being the principal islands of the Philippine group; their object, the construction of the comprehensive system of railroads outlined in the early days of the Taft regime, writes P. E. F. Laner in Van Norden Magazine. These young American college men—for nearly all are graduates of Purdue, Cornell, Wisconsin, Boston "Tech" and other engineering schools, and the average age of the entire party is—have succeeded even beyond their enthusiastic hopes. They have settled in doubt one of the most vital questions that confronted the American administration—whether or not the Filipino can be directed from his wild and unsettled ways into the paths of industry, thrift and progress. And they have accomplished the immediate object of the expedition, for to-day there are several sections of the railroads in operation, and those remaining will be opened within the next few months. The work has been done under unusually adverse conditions; it has been well done, and it is probable that the standard of construction is higher than that of any plane of American lines. All of the bridges, railroads, and fully three per cent. of the entire length of the system is made up of these—of concrete or steel or both. The roadbed has been carefully graded and the track well ballasted. The rolling stock is of American manufacture, the best of its kind that can be produced. The cars have steel frames and are finished in teak, a wood that is immune from the attacks of the ever-hungry white ant. American money, to the extent of 20 to 30 millions, will be invested in the project, and on the balance sheets of a steam railway operation, and of lines in China, that the returns will amply repay those who have had the courage to go into an untried and most unpromising field. Little can be learned of the part of the system that is laid out on the Island of Luzon. The concession for this island was awarded to interests almost entirely British, although it was the intention of the United States government to restrict the concessions to American capital. The existing road from Manila to Dagupan will be extended northward, through the rich Lepanto-Bontok province, and another trunk line will strike into the rich Lagayan valley, where is produced some of the finest tobacco in the far east. Another will run southward to Bantagas, and yet another into Albay and Sorsogon the fertile provinces in the extreme south. The freight cars, too, are considerably smaller than standard box cars in this country, as the Filipino farmer ships in small quantities. The question of equipment has been carefully considered by a technical board, which has studied the practice of the Natal government railway, Le Chemin du Fer du Kongo, the Sudan Government Military railway, the Great Indian Peninsular railway and other tropical properties. No expense is spent on the initial equipment and extensive stock will be built in which all repairs can be made. It is even possible that such rolling stock as may be needed in the future may be entirely built by native workmen. Experience in the shops of the electric railway at Manila has shown this to be feasible. A Pioneer Englneman Now that the movements of every railway train are regulated by telegraph, one sometimes wonders how railroads were managed when the telegraph was unknown. A well-known official answers the question by furnishing certain of the rules in force 55 years ago on a southern road. Time was not so precious then as now. The "engineman" was permitted, ordered, to be leisurely and careful, as is indicated by these specimen rules: "Should any stock be killed which would be likely to endanger the safety of the next train passing, the engineman will stop his train until the track is cleared. "In connecting and starting the engineman will be exceedingly careful in the management of his throttle, so the cars may not be injured or the passengers annoyed by the violence of the start. "When a train is approaching a stopping place, it is the duty of the engineman to see that the fire is so hot that it will be unnecessary to blow off steam while the engine remains stationary. "All engines running at night must keep the dampers open as to show a light."—Illustrated Sunday Magazine. Meteor Holds Up a Train. A train was recently stopped in Nevada by a meteor, the light from which was mistaken by the engineer for a signal of some sort. The meteor, which was described by the engineer and passengers as being big as a house, crossed the tracks just ahead of the train with a brilliant, dazzling light that blinded the eyes for a number of seconds—Popular Mechanics.

EX-PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT. Treat each man according to his worth as a man. Distrust all who would have any one class placed before any other. Other republics have fallen because the unscrupulous have substituted loyalty to class for loyalty to the people as a whole. —President Roosevelt's speech at Little Rock, Ark. SATURDAY, MARCH 27, 1909. MR. GAITHER OF MARYLAND SPEAKS. Mr. Gailer of Maryland, recently girded up his loins and made a great big speech, the main purpose of which, as we learn was as follows: Mr. Gailer wants the Negroes and the country at large to understand that Republican success in the south, or in any state, does not mean Negro supremacy over the white race. It would seem from the above that two parties, first, the country at large and second, the Negroes, are in a most dismal and woeful state of ignorance as to what "Republican success in the South" means, and Mr. Gaither kindly undertakes to dispel the ignorance. THE APEAL will let "the country at large" take care of itself and devote a little attention to the subject of Negro supremacy. Mr. Gaither's remarks about that point reminds THE APEAL of the Great Don Quixote's famous combat with the windmills, or Falstaff's encounter with the "misbegotten rogues in Kendall green." "It is mere flapdoodle of the purest kind." W. H. HON. WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT. Who Was Inaugurated President of the United States March 4th. P. H. has no aspirations for supremacy—the most ignorant has no dream of any such thing. He simply asks to be treated as a man and to enjoy the rights that other men enjoy. He protests against being ostracized, swindled and persecuted in the land of his birth. He pays taxes like other men, fights for his country like other men and is far better qualified to vote than thousands of the ignorant hillbillies of the South and the "scum of Europe" in the North. He has had a life-time's experience in being an American, and don't know how to be anything else. He is a Republican and don't know how to be a Democrat—and that's what's the matter with him down south. What the papers allude to as "an unique and pitiful case," recently transpired, in Farmville, Va. Marcus Lindsay and Sophia, his wife, being sentenced for 18 years to the penitentiary for interracial marriage. Lindsay was the son of a white woman, but always thought he was of the Afro-American blood, had always associated with that race in church and school, but the judge decided that he had sufficient Caucasian blood in his veins to be legally white, hence the sentence under the Virginia law. It is certainly "unique," if that means that the command of the Almighty: Whom God hath joined together, let no man put asunder, has been abrogated by an act of the Virginia legislature. Even the court seemed to be ashamed of the barbarous law, which it was compelled to enforce, for the judge promised to petition the governor to pardon the prisoners without allowing them to be taken to the penitentiary, but on condition that martial relations between the parties should cease.

Amid the almost unanimous laudations of Abraham Lincoln, the New Orleans Times-Democrat sounds a most discordant note. It finds that it is "not easy to forget that the public service for which he has been accorder almost divine discord, consisted in the vigorous and unsparing prosecution of a bloody and destructive war upon the people of the Southern states, until their resources were exhausted and they were compelled to lay down their arms; and, while in this helpless condition, with their honor pledged to make no further resistance to the victorious section, to be tortured, persecuted and overwhelmed by a hostile government. Well, the Louisiana people are at full liberty to cherish that idea of the situation, but the rest of the world will continue to award to Lincoln almost divine distinction," with caring a baubee what Louisiana thinks. Mme. Steinhell, a French lady with a German name, is the latest sensation of Paris. It is said that she maintained very intimate relations with the late President Faure, whose death was mysterious to such an extent as to cause suspicions that he was poisoned. The lady seems, also, to have had such relations with sunry and various other influential parties, one of whom is suspected of the murder. For the time being the Castellane-Sagan incident is eclipsed. One of the great delights of the German over in the Vaderland is to "Hock der Kaiser," so that an American resident said it was the only thing one could do in Berlin without risk of violating some municipal law. But that does not prevent the German from un-hocking der Kaiser, should he stray too far from the middle of the road. Just now, the Germans are engaged in the latter process. THE APPEAL is glad to learn that there is no truth in the story that General James S. Clarkson is to be removed from his office as surveyor of the Port of New York and the word comes from President Taft himself. This is welcome news to all good Republicans and especially to Afro-Americans, as Gen. Clarkson is a tried and true friend of the race. American Revivalists Will Visit Australia --- 7 REV. J.

MR CHARLES There Has Been V the Lif THE LORD OF THE HOLY SACRED BIBLE Hyman Meyer, one of the stars of the Orpheum Road Show, a noted entertainer of New York's four hundred, performer of classical compositions on the stage, and a friend of leading comedian in Fritzi Scheff's new opera, became successful through a series of happenings as interesting and full of romance as the musical, and he loved her. Mr. Meyer, who gives an imitation of grand opera and masas a chicken sing a solo, while all the time he is wearing a German comedy makeup, he has a desire to play classical music for the mere love of the music, which proves that he is a great artist. While devoting his life to music he times his life in the dressing room in hand-hand clothing store, digging for gold in the dry river beds of the Southwest and giving parlor entertainments for New York's four hundred. He is now in vaudeville receiving his first major role, which has lessened his desire to play music for the mere love of music. While washing the make-up off his face in his dressing room back of the Orpheum Road Show, he visited something of his life's story. "My parents came from Russian Poland, the town of Neustadt, Scherwindt. Shortly before I was born my mother just Califia, a driving before him I was born in Los Angeles of my life I have lived in Los Angeles, where I studied music under a great teacher, Thilo Becker. My first job was a teacher at the market in Catalina island. It was my duty to arrange entertainments for the guests when the evenings were dull. It was a most delightful work among the students. But they paid me a good salary. But it was to work at my art, and I though if I could get into vaudeville it would give me a better chance. One day I read a book about a girl named to give a vaudeville turn in aanted to give a vaudeville turn in the Nevada City, and I wrote, asking for the position. They wired me to come. Meyer rubbed the soap from his face and laughed. "When I arrived I found that the cafe was a 'Joint', with sawdust on the floor and its patrons drunken miners, who were so drunk that Harte. All I could play was classical stuff, Beethoven, Liszt, Chopin. It wasn't much of a hit with the miners. But later I learned some popular tunes and I was able to play them who came to the cafe every night was a half-breed Indian with a little bag of gold nuggets.

M. ALEXANDER. variety in e of Hyman Meyer the gold was assayed and melted down it netted the three of us a nugget with just 44.88. The money turned around and smiled at the vsligator. "Of course you know the answer," he said. "I had to work in the cafe until I got money enough to go home. And no one ever outd out where the hotel has nuggets. Later I got a job in Fresco in that desperate part of the city called the Barbary Coast, and played for thugs and crooks for $1 a night. I worked there just one night. Still, I had to back to the hotel at Catalina island, and from to New York, where had quite a success giving parlor entertainments for the smart set. Now I am in vaudeville, where they seem to like me. And that's about all the story." **She'd Have to Speak.** "It is impossible," cried Mr. Nagget, finally, "for us to live together and not quarrel." "He snapped Mrs. Nagget, "it is possible not to quarrel if neither of us speak."

"I reckon you have to watch your pocketbook an 'overcoat an 'watch, an' so on, pretty close, don't you?" a Western visitor to New York asked a friend, a native of the metropolis, as they were starting out to view the city, and despite the citizen's assurance that no more than ordinary vigilance was required the Western proceeded to "keep his eye skinned," much to his friend's amusement. Presently they entered a cafe for luncheon. The New Yorker was discoursing gayly upon the greatness of his native city when he observed that the other had an expression on his face much like that of a cat at a mouse hole. "What are you watching so closely?" he inquired. "Just keepin' an eye on my overcoat," the other replied. The New Yorker langued. "Oh, the coat's all right. I'm not worrying about mine, you see, and they are hanging together." "No, they ain't," the Westerner drawled. "Mine's still there, but yours is gone—feller out with it 'bout ten minutes or so ago."

The Pig and the Motor Car The chief objection to a motor tour in the north of Ireland, said Arthur Marshall, A. R. I. B. A., in a recent lecture at the Royal Photographic society's exhibition, is the presence of the pigs, which lie in the middle of the road and refuse to budge. The only way to remove the animals is to turn the car around and let the exhaust give them a blow out of harm's way. The panic of the peasant woman and their donkey carts is another source of their distress, although primitive in many respects, runners are very efficient police and telephone service and the transgressing motorist has little chance of escape. The Chilly Homes of England It is very largely our own fault if England has caused the reputation of an impossible country to winter in. As a nation we are, I verily believe, the greatest living amateurs in the science of keeping our houses warm. An Englishman's home is his castle; it is also, ninety-nine times out of a hundred, his refrigerator. The truth is that England in winter time is one of the chilliest spots on earth. After some years in America it took me, I recall, thirty months on my return to London to get warm again. Out of the Dim Past Erostratus had fired the Ephesian dome. "They may expunge that from the record," he chuckled, "but my name with that thundering down the ages, just the same!" Still, this doesn't prove that postery will remember the much more commonplace name of Willett. Why Bables Hate Light. Light is one of the most stimulating and attractive things in the world to us; and the brighter the better. But to a poor blinking lot of a baby it is as dazzling and irritating as it is and he has neither pigment in his temples nor hair on the top of his pikiln littles to protect him against the light rays. Not on the Defensive "Why," asked the person of influence, "are you so anxious to go into the secret service instead of making a political career for yourself?" "Pleasure" answered the young man, "I am convinced that it is better to pursue some other man's past than to possess one of your own." Why They Are Wise "Have you Love Letters of Wise Men?" she asked timidly. "No, miss," responded the clerk in the book department. "And why not?" "Because wise men never publish their love letters." Unromantic Japan. Recently novels referring to love affairs have been published in great number. In view of putting some check on the publication of these novels, the authorities are contemplating restrictive regulations. In Actual Life. "Every musical comedy has a song about gay New York.

Breaking Waves Dash High in Lon- sana ares ag ‘The latest feature at the London Hippodrome is a spectacle entitled "The Sands of Dee,” which cul- minates in the rescue of the heroine, gagged and bound to a stake planted on the beach, just as the rising tide sends in great breakers which near- ly overwhelm the girl, Nine huge rollers sweep across the state in a most realistic manner, and the hero, on the back of a swimming horse, barely reaches the unfortunate heroine as the water laps about her shoulders, ‘The apparatus necessary for the production of waves is very simple, Seventy-nine feet above the stage, in the flies, are three great tanks, each capable of holding five tons of water and filted with an arrangement whereby the water may be discharged in a solid mass as though the bottom had fallen out, A wave-producing board {s built up in the stage immediately beneath the tanks, says Harper's Weekly, extends across the full width of the prosce- nium opening, and is concave in form, with the back ten feet high and the front edge only about twelve inches above the trough. ‘The falling water swirls as it strikes the hollow of this board and is projected in a solid sheet about thir- ty feet Into the air before it breaks in the arena. A back cloth and water- proof paint aid materially in creating ‘the illusion, Nine waves dash into the arena at intervals of six seconds and the roar of the breakers ts very similar to the surf. A high pressure main fills the tanks in three seconds after they are emptied. A Thirteenth Century Drink, Thirteenth century tastes in food had fow imitations, Besides the “fowl of Afvica and the rare gadwit of Ionia” mentioned by Fitzstephen, gourmeis in the time of King John used to regale themselves on herons, cranes, crows, storks, cormorants and bitters. Some would wash thelr meals down with wine, but the major ity drank mead or metheglin. Mead, according to Holinshed, was only the washing of the combs after the honey had been taken from them, and so poor a beverage that it had to be spiced, peppered or made palatable with sweetbriar or thyme. But meth eglin contained one hundredweight of honey to twenty-four gallons of water, and must have been much more in toxicating than the strongest old ale Of the present day. Separated. A regiment of soldiers were recent- ly drawn up one Sunday for church parade, but the church was being re- palred and could hold only half of them, “Sergeant-major,” shouted the col- onel, “tell all the men who don't want to go to chureh to fall out on the re- verse flank." Of course, a large number quickly and gladly availed themselves of the privilege, “Now, sergeant-major," said the col. onel, “dismiss all the men who did not fall ont and march the others to chureh—they need it most.” First Wedding in Eight Years. For the first time in eight years the wedding bells rang yesterday after the morning service at the parish church of Lindsell, Essex, which has been almost deserted owing to the di- Japidation and decay of the cottages. ‘Two laborers who have been waiting in this “Sweet Auburn" for cottages for some years led thelr brides to the altar, and the few villagers left made the occasion a memorable one. + ie aie acs, Mrs. Gunner—Henry, you would per- sist in calling that last cook a vision, There was nothing pretty about her. Mr. Gunner—Not at all, ‘Mrs, Gunner—Then why did you call her a vision? Mr, Gunner—Because visions fade away. She remains only two days. Of One Mind, “The soil.” remarked the political economist, “is what supports us all.” “Yes,” rejoined the lawyer, “I must admit that real estate is at’ the bot- tom of three-fourths of all litigation,” “And,” addeq the doctor, “a great deal of sickness is dueto the effiuvia from the ground.’ Dream That Didn't Come True.
