PUBLIC PARK WHERE SULTAN LIVED HIS MERCILESS LIFE Famous Yildiz Palace at Constantinople to Be Converted Into Pleasure Place for the People. THE HOME OF THE MASTER VOL. 25. NO. 28. PUBLIC PARK WILL LIVED HIS Famous Yildiz Palace at Co- Into Pleasure Plaza In the superb grounds surrounding the Yildiz Palace where for three de- cades the recently dethroned Sultan of Turkey, Abdul Hamid, lived his merciless life apart from the gaze of the world, merry pleasure parties will soon congregate. Grotequely almost, it has been de- cided by the new rulers of the country to turn the once almost sacred grounds into a pleasure park for the public, and here along the very walks where the autocrat planned his atroci- ties and worked out those crafty policies that protected him from the just vengeance of Christian Europe, children will run and play and the innocent life of the people who replace the secret promenades of the man who so long misruled them. In this transformation democracy gains another mighty victory in the land of former absolutism. It has not been difficult to obtain the use of the grounds, for it is part of the law of Turkey that each incoming sovereign must have a new palace, hence the successor of Abdul could not use the Yildiz. If he has any eye for the beautiful, he somewhat must regret the law that takes this palace out of his hands, for in its charm of surroundings, the beauty of the building itself, the lovely walks of the gardens and the wonderful furnishings of the various rooms, the whole structure is a dream of Oriental lavishness, tempered by the good taste of Europeans whom the Sultan employed for such matters. Luxury Loving Despot. Aduld loved luxury. He had little else in common with humanity, but he did insist that his personal surroundings be on a scale with what he deemed the towering importance of his position among the monarchs of the world. For example he knew that no matter what mystery he elected to invest his personality with, there were times when he must be seen. He must come in contact with the representatives of the nations of the world, and he determined that when he faced them, he should be seen in the midst of a luxury that even their own monarchs could not surpass. So he had his reception room fitted out in European style, and to do the work he brought to Constantinople some of the foremost decorators of France. The massive lustres which illumine the apartment were presented to the Sultan by the Emperor of Germany. They throw out an especially brilliant and iridescent glare, and were one of the prides of the Sultan. The wonderful carpet, which entirely covered the floor in the European fashion, instead of calling for the use of rugs as Turkish tastes dictate, cost thousands of dollars. In fact the entire salon represented the expenditure of fabulous sums of money. The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text. It appears to be a grayscale photograph with indistinct features. The palace includes two dining rooms. In the largest of these dignitaries and state ambassadors were feted, but not often did Abdul himself appear at such functions. His fear of assassination was so great that he would only eat in the little Messarin Klosk, where he could have every move of his waiters watched, and where he was guarded all times A Section of the Palace Showing the Harem Grounds by his own trusty men hidden behind the walls, but never for an instant taking their eyes off their royal patron. This room also served as a smoking room and place of reception for personal friends. Horror for Gas or Electricity. The Sultan had a keen horror for electricity or gas as illuminants and would not permit the use of either in the palace. Candles were therefore employed---throughout, and these, though masterpieces of the metal workers' art, seemed strangely grotesque and out of place when compared with the remaining modern fittings of the building. In the Sultan's work room he received and read reports of his confidential agents, that wonderfully organized system of spies with which the young Turks had to deal before they were able to carry their campaign to a successful finish. Here he took a curious delight in A Section of the Palace Sh reading all that hostile newspapers of the world had to say of him. Another chamber that had most interest for all those who were ever fortunate enough to penetrate within the recesses of the palace was the treasure chamber. Here the Sultan had, or was supposed to have, treasure beyond the dreams of even the most greedy. The resources were his personal property, that what was his beyond any demand of the state to The Palace as Viewed From the Lake. call on. The conglomerated wealth of all the millionaires of the world today was supposed to fall short of the value of this treasure. But the investigation of the palace after the fall of the Sultan failed to show money in the amount that had been promised. Altogether only seven and one-half millions were found in the palace. Of this sum two and one-half millions THE APPEAL. were in cash and the remaining sum was in first-class marketable securities. Further investigation showed that the Sultan had on deposit in the banks of Germany, England, France and the United States about fifteen million dollars more. The cabinet at once took the position that by his abuse of power and his many crimes against the people the Sultan had confiscated his right to these personal belongings and at once confiscated them. Those who went in rarely came out unless it happened that the Sultan tired of them and wished to give one in marriage to some bey or pasha who had won his favor. Soldiers Were Supreme.

The Sultan trusted his soldiers and well he might, for they were loyal to him, until by his own acts directed against the army itself Abdul alienated from him those who LIFE DRAMA READS Tom Is To Marry Again For H Only Fraction of Secret Treasure. It is believed by many, however, that this money only represented a fraction of what the secret treasure vaults of the palace may show. It is known that the Sultan was fond of jewels, as most of his predecessors before him have been, and that he made a great collection, which was based on the wonderful assembly of gems he inherited. Search for these secret places for the hiding of wealth is still going on, and before the grounds are turned over to the public, excavations will be made so as to be sure none of the treasure is secreted there. Other especially interesting rooms in the palace are those in which the Sultanas had their apartments. These were fitted up with luxury and with a good taste surprising to those who have thought lightly of this phase owing the Harem Grounds. ten col collecti ing in to the laws ev Speak there w of iden dians o nent; a sessed bus Pre "Why ure of f Corntos have co farmer, S.

In his walks in the garden, though only his own men were near, or could by any possibility pass the guarded walls, the Sultan ever wore his famous coat of fine mall, a close fitting shirt made of steel mail, that certainly would have turned the edge of a sword or dagger and would have resisted an ordinary ballet.

Tom Pierce is going to marry again, and he is also going to have a bitter fight in court to keep his former wife from getting possession of their child for six months out of every year. These are the latest developments in a life romance that is lengthening out like a novel by Balzac. Apparently there is no end to the dramatic material to be furnished by the millionaire and his famous former wife, one of the most noted horsewomen American sporting circles have ever known. In the course of the chapters that have been written in the emotions of this woman and her spouse is an slopment, remarkable feats of horseriding by the wife that excited the admiration of every important show held in a decade, a quarrel, a divorce suit, then the incarceration of Mrs. Pierce in a madhouse, from which she is dramatically rescued by an actress, Miss Adele Ritchie. This might have been expected to put the period for a time to the activity of the couple, but apparently it is only paving the way for a whole new volume of excitements. Most serious of the disturbing factors is the fact that Tom Pierce has fallen in love again. His sentiments have now been turned to the charming and accomplished Miss Gabrielle Dexter, of New York, and she is destined in a short time to become his bride. Mrs. Pierce that was, is, in fact, for she declines to give up the use of the name, could stand for that, for she no longer cares for the man who was Mrs. "Tom" Pierce. her husband. But she will not permit him to put into execution his announced plan of keeping her from having their only child, "Tom," for the six months of the year the court has awarded him to her. Bitter Warfare Expected. In order to press her rights in court, Mrs. Pierce has obtained counsel, and the result will be a bitter warfare and a new lifting of the veil on the lives of a couple who cannot get out of the lightlight. The principal figure in the case, Mrs. Pierce, was born Alice Crowninshield Rogers. She came of fine old Salem, Massachusetts, stock. She was a tomboy as a youngster, fond of an outdoor life and crazy about horses, but no one ever said anything ill of her, for it was recognized that her pranks, though wild, were harmless. There was fair means in the Rogers family, not wealth, but enough to permit a life somewhat in keeping with that the position of the family demanded. But more than that came to the daughter of the family when the dashing Tom Pierce, then a boy hardly out of college, met the handsome brunette, with the willowy figure, the wonderful eyes and the dashing witt. He became her instant lover, and she reciprocated. Undoubtedly, no matter what may have come later, this was a love match in the truest sense, and the couple would have been drawn to each other, even had not wealth and family made the union so appropriate. From the time of the marriage Mrs. Pierce became the idol of what may be described as the horry set. Her husband was the exhibitor at the prominent shows and his wife rode his horses. At Meadowbrook it was agreed that there was nobody like her. None could ride a horse as she, none presented such a charming figure in riding habit, and none was a better fellow. Women Load Up On Liquor. The hunting life has a somewhat different set of conventions from that led by the ordinary person. A goodly amount of liquor is ever consumed by the women of the parties, most of them unapproachable as to their habits of life and taking it as no offense Smith Warren has returned from Catalina and San Clemente. Making his headquarters at Avalon, he made three different trips to San Clemente, remaining several days each time, going after the big yellowwall. The first time over Mr. Warren secured a gold button fish, with nine-ounce tackle. Then nothing would do but he must go after the world's record on three six tackle, and he got that with THE APPEAL STEADILY GAINS BECAUSE: 4-It is the organ of ALL Afro-Americans. 5-It is not controlled by any ring or clique. 6-It asks no support but the people's. to indulge in a few cocktails on occasion. Mrs. Pierce may or may not have abused this liberty, and taken too freely of the vintage. That is a matter in debate. It isn't serious, anyway, for she has never bothered to make any denials, neither has her former husband ever urged it against her in any very strenuous way. But what he did object to fairly early in the married life was her friendship with people of the stage. Mrs. Pierce was Boheman, she liked the life and the excitement, and soon she was a prominent figure in a gay circle made up half and half of the hors set and half of stage folk. Divisions came between the couple, and the coming of a son did not have the effect of a reconciliation. Whispers of divorce began to take form, and they were true harbingers, but it was Mrs. Pierce who brought the suit, and she based her hopes of separation on the charge of cruelty. Sufficiently strong evidence was adduced by her counsel to bring about a verdict of divorce, with an almamy of five hundred dollars a week, which the court did not think excessive considering the wealth of Pierce. Here properly should have ended the drama of the Pierces, but as a matter of fact these events have proved little more than the curtain raiser. Takes Up With Adale Ritchie Takes Up With Adele Ritchie. After she had been divorced, and it is only just to emphasize the time, Mrs. Pierce became acquainted with Adele Ritchie, the pretty little blonde actress, who has succeeded in many light musical productions. The two women took a great fancy to each other, and began to be together all the time. This has led some persons to charge that it was their friendship that led to the divorce, and that Pierce objected to Miss Ritchie, but this story falls to the ground in view of the fact that Pierce and Miss Ritchie never met, and the divorce was an accomplished fact before the two women became acquainted. Mrs. Pierce became a guest of Miss Ritchie. She spent time with her on her place. Then came the incident of the abduction, an event which is still shrouded in some mystery, but of which enough is known to make it an intensely dramatic episode in this play of real life. Mrs. Pierce was spirited away in an automobile, and rushed to a sanitaryarium in Connecticut. On her way she managed, by a ruse, to get word by telephone to Miss Ritchie that she was being spirited away she knew not where. The little actress immediately entered the lists to effect the release of her friend. It took eight days for her to locate the sanitarium, then she at once procured the services of a foremost lawyer, who had a writ of habeas corpus made out, took the case to court, and after a most vigorous battle succeeded in securing the complete release of the fair prisoner. This accomplished, the two women at once rushed to the home of Miss Ritchie, in Philadelphia, and barring A A Mrs. Pierce Enjoying Her Favorite Pastime a 45-pound yellowtall, brought to gaff in 38 minutes. Another gold-button fish was landed in 23 minutes, but Warren admits it was hard work. He says the inference that the big yellowtall of San Clemente are not so active, nor such hard fighters as the average 20-pounder at Avalon is not true. So far as getting strikes was concered it was simply a question of keeping the bait away from the smaller fish until a $2.40 PER YEAR. occasional short trips, have been there ever since. Fight for Child Begins. One of the first acts of Pierce after his engagement became announced was to make an effort to prevent his wife from getting their child her six months of the year. This fight has now started in the courts. It is the plea of Pierce than she does not love the child, and that she is not a fit person to be its custodian even temporar- Miss Adele Ritchie. ily. That Mrs. Pierce vigorously denies. She protests her love, and points to gifts she has made the child, and to the estimate her neighbors had of her regard for the little fellow in the days before the family separated. This is the present status of the quarrel, and it will be bitterly fought; the more so because the forthcoming marriage of Pierce adds another woman to the case, and will put perhaps a little extra venom in the high spirited Mrs. Pierce, and make her the more determined to have her way in the matter. Mrs. Pierce pays to Miss Ritchie the tribute of having been her most valued friend all through the controversy, and says that but for the actress she now perhaps would really have had an unsettled reason, the result of a protracted stay in the santarium. The two women present a handsome appearance together. They are very much given to motoring, and make a trip to Atlantic City every Sunday. What Piggle Said.

Some of the farseeing newspapers are looking with anxious eyes to the great emigration to Canada which is in operation in many of the Northern states, composed, as it is, of the very best class of citizens. The Washington Herald says: "Never before in the history of the world has there been witnessed a migration of so large proportions of men and women of wealth, intelligence and energy as is now taking place from the United States to Canada." The cause of this phenomenon is easily stated: Canada is offering to these emigrants far superior to any now offered in this country, especially cheap and fertile farms in place of the worn-out soil of the older states, being the greatest. Next, Canada is yet a poor man's country, while in the United States the barrons are driving the W. H. HON. SHELBY M. CULLOM Illinois' Senior United States Senator, and Grand Old Man. HON. WILLIAM LORIMER Illinois Junior Senator Who Took the Oath of Office June 18. poor man to the wall in order to swell the profits of the Eastern manufacturers, and to enable the female Goulds to indulge in $600 dresses, to be worn one single time. The South offers no inducements to the class of emigrants referred to above, despite its rich soil and abundant resources, its idiotic legislators, lynchers and night riders are everlasting barriers against any tide of immigration. On the other hand the Northern states seem to be in danger of being cursed with an excess of undesirable immigrants. The Black Hand and Camorra seem to have become established institutions, with ramifications throughout the country. The situation is far from inspiring. OLD BRUTE LEOPOLD. Referring to the action of King Leopold of Belgium in selling off his art treasures, the Marquise de Fontenoy says: "Of course all this does not tend to increase the affection of the Belgians for their King, and there are few of them who do not look forward with eagerness and relief to the day when he will descend into an unmourned grave and be succeeded on the throne by his universally popular and respected nephew and heir, Prince Albert of Flanders, now engaged in tramping on foot from the Falls of the Zambesi to the borders of the new Belgian colony of Congoland." It is a fact well known to the civilized world that the king of Belgium is one of the most shameless and depraved old reprobates that ever lived, one not accustomed to treat even his own children with ordinary decency. His policy has made the Congo country a hell upon earth, and the earth stands aghast at the revelations of the cruelties perpetrated under his sanction. We are satisfied that the death of the old degenerate will not "cast a gloom" over any section of Christendom. MISCEGNATION IN MISSISSIPPI. The New Orleans Times-Democrat highly commends a Mississippi grand jury for tackling cases of white men who cultivate sexual relations with Afro-American females. It says: "Miscegination is a crime against both races. Its practice menaces racial integrity and dangerously complicates a problem for the simpler phases of which no satisfactory solution has yet been found. It is idle to talk in large terms of 'race instinct' to inveigh against social equality, while at the same time white men are permitted to relax the color line at will and to practice social equality on the limited scale." The APPREAL is inclined to regard the mix-up as a tempest in a teapot, which will amount to very little. The breaking of the solid South is admitted to be a task of more than ordinary difficulty, and the South is solid in more respects than one. We notice that a leading white journal expresses the opinion that Bishop Lampton is doing great harm to the Afro-Americans of Mississippi and ought to exercise his talents one thousand miles from that state. It, thereby shows its entire ignorance of the history of the man. Now the fact is that Mississippi is under great obligations to the Bishop for the wonderful work he has done in the way of relieving poverty and distress among the Afro-Americans of the state. Through his efforts, an institution is in operation which annually distributes thousands of dollars among the poor of the state—the widows and orphans. Bishop Lampton has resided in the state for a great many years, and his career has been one of unceasing well-doing; but it seems that the foolish whim of a silly girl outweighs all that among our "best friends" of Mississippi. SHOULD BE NO RACE, CREED OR COLOR LINE. Prominent Jews are becoming dissatisfied with the policy of the government in classifying them as a distinct race, in the census and other official publications. They claim to be Americans as any other class of people, and so they are. Their case is the same as that of the Afro-Americans of the country, except that their status has not been legally declared by specific enactment as has been done in the case of the Afro-American. TURKS SUPERIOR TO CHRISTIANS? The general impression of the Turks is that they are a semi-barbarous race, and their country a blot upon the map of Europe. But we notice that Turkey has invited the Jews of Russia to settle in her borders and has assured them of protection. It certainly seems strange that the ancient people of God should be compelled to leave Christian Russia in order to accept the protection of Mohammed Turkey. The white man's claim to supremacy is already in a somewhat wabby condition owing to the delay of Mr. Jeffries in responding to the invitation of Mr. Johnson to meet him and settle the matter. And, moreover, Mr. Johnson asserts that such acceptance will make him, the aforesaid Johnson, the happiest man in Pittsburg. The world is longing for an exhibition on the part of these gentlemen, not of forensic, but of fistic ability. The expulsion of Bishop Lampton from Mississippi has, as usual, false reason assigned for it, so we are told. The Bishop has some fine property in Greenville, which is coveted by some of the white brethren, and there is a scheme on foot to compel him to sell it at a sacrifice. The telephone yarn is probably merely a pretext. BY WAY OF OZARK By FRANCES WILSON (Copyright, by Bobbs-Merrill Co.) One was to come, so the letter said, by way of Ozark, and the brevity of the instruction conveyed no hint of its tremendous significance, no hint of the fact that though the stage coach has practically disappeared from our midst, in the bobtail train its spirit goes marching on. Accustomed to a world that takes a shameless pride in its "fyers," in trains as inexorable as time and tide, how was I to suspect that the bobtail train was a bit of old-time poesy set like a jewel in the prosaic present; that coming by way of Ozark would involve a spiritual renascence; that I should arrive at my journey's end with a heart quickened and purified. Yet so it was. "Yes, it alw you. See freight—when freight comes "And when That deper freight and he is to do." I turned avail thought me of "It is almec with deadly crested. "Whore will be almec for nine-forty, Ah well, w was blue and there was the I emerged from the sleeper at X into a morning all blue and gold sparkle. At the ticket window in the timeworn station I futtered anxiously in the background of several overstopping Missourians who seemed to be indulging a lazy zest for railroad information. Stonily I watched the clock, whose long, gaud finger was creeping closer and closer to the decisive hour, tormented by visions of the Ozark train giving a last wild shriek and departing without me. In the midst of my fidgety despair the foreground shifted with the deliberation of a stage scene and I found myself next the wicket. Even in the preoccupation of that moment the severity of the ticket agent's face impressed me. Why so unutterable a gravity at so natural a question? Had I perchance outraged some canon of railroad etiquette by asking when the train for Ozark would leave, and, if not, what could be the meaning of the lurking dignity in his glance? Puzzled, but not daunted, I turned away. There was, it seemed, time for the lunch counter, a taste for which I have unflinchingly preserved in spite of tough steaks and stale sandwiches. For me there has always been a glamor about them, and I was soon dangling happily from a revolving stool, awaiting wheat cakes and coffee, staring immodestly at the god-like profile of the youth who presided over the cash register and humming to myself from sheer contentment. The coffee and cakes are hot, the profile all too perfect. In the glow produced by the three I quite forget that these joys are en passant until my eyes happened to fall upon the large, plain face of a clock on the opposite wall. It was the sort of a clock that one simply could not doubt. One knew that it had always done its duty, always would, and in a trice I had ceased to dangle and was standing before the god, adjuring him by the nineforty train to Ozark to make haste with my change, to strike the mystic keys, pull the stop and gather my dimes and quarters from the drawer prestissimo, an it please him. He was not, I must confess, visibly affected by my objurgations. He, too, eyed me frigidly, and performed his solo on the cash register a tempo. A big, puffing, assertive monster of an engine was at that moment bringing a train to a stop on the platform. As the last passenger alighted I presented myself at the steps, glowing with triumph and half inclined to wave my handkerchief at the ticket man and curtsey derivatively to the Apollo of the cash register, for had I not achieved that train in the face of official coldness and discouragement that might well have sent me some other way round? In the midst of my triumph a protesting fell upon my ear. "Dis yere ain't youah train, lady. Youah train, hit's youah yundah somalr. Guess yo'don 'need to run!" This information, delivered by a colored porter, had at least one redeeming feature. It was accompanied by a grin, and I no longer felt myself an offense in the land. With a few proud snorts and hisses the great engine dragged its train away, leaving the platform to the Ozark train and me. I found it at last—an archaic day-coach poignantly suggestive of the days of Robert Fulton, coupled to some flat-cars loaded with clinders. There was no engine in sight, but one no longer wondered. Nothing now seemed more probable than a round-house filled with engines all haughtily refusing to draw the train to Ozark. From time to time loose-jointed men, and worn women with babes in arms and fringes of them clinging to their skirts, sauntered in and disposed themselves about with a lack of haste that was ominous. I vain I searched their faces for some fixed intention of departure. Their intentions seemed to be in the air. Two drummers, one stout, creased and of slovenly appearance, the other spare and groomed, looked as if they had once meant to, but had given it up, and plunged into the morning papers for forgetfulness. At last there was a final rustling of the papers as they threw them aside, their news exhausted. The Ozark train remained immovable, and they began to eye each other with interest, brightening as they recognized that they were of the same brotherhood. "Hosiery?" queried Falstaff, guided by heaven knows what occult sign, as he leaned toward Cassius interestedly. Cassius shook his head. "Just outside hosley, one might say, Shoes!" was his neat reply. Involuntarily I smiled—we all smiled cheerly until I happened to remember the dark tradition on which all girls are brought up, concerning strange men on railroad trains, and retreated to the platform to recover my dignity. A man in a blue blouse, with a face bemirched into Rembrandt effect, was fussing about the wheels. "Rusted from disuse?" I ventured. Then, emboldened by his smile—"I promise to keep the secret; but tell me, new, honestly, does it ever go?" He seemed to consider. "Yes, it always goes, sooner or later. You see, it depends upon the freight—whenever the crew with the freight comes down, it goes." "And when does it arrive?" "That depends upon the amount of freight and how much switching their is to do." I turned away softly. Then I be thought me of the ticket man. "It is almost eleven," I remarked with deadly calmness. He looked interested. "Why, so it is. Oh, well, the crew'll be along soon now. Scheduled for nine-forty," he added comfortingly, Ah, well, what matter? The sky was blue and the air electric, and there was the long stretch of the station platform on which to practice fascinating eccentricities of gait, could one but manage it subtly enough to escape the attention of the loungers. It was well on toward noon when the patient occupants of the train for Ozark were startled by a premonitory jolt that caused a weary mother who was dozing at full length on one of the seats to grab wildly at her infant, uncritically asleep on the floor. The gentleman "just outside hosiery" straightened up alertly, and, while his colleague smiled genially and indiscriminately on us all, murmured, "She moves!" It was true. Some engine humble enough and decrepit enough to draw the train to Ozark had been found. To be sure, it was almost time for us to arrive, but what are schedules after all but an expression of a railroad's ideals—statements of what they fain would do, rather than what they accomplish. If my mind still played about the idea of making up time, it was from the force of habit. Certainly the Ozark train never dreamed of making such an exhibition of itself as would have been necessary to overtake its fleeing schedule. It ambled gently through the sunlit landscape, past cornfields all nicely done up in Psyche knots and aglow with toopaz pumpkins; past a distant farmstead exhibiting an almost holy propriety, doors and windows primily closed, and nothing in sight save the shadows on the lawn, and gradually came to a complete stop before a "general store," where it paused for a social call. Onward it went again, through more smiling landscape, over little brooks, beside shadowy woodland stretches, but never failing to stop courteously at each country store. Gradually the charm of that journey sank into my heart, never to be forgotten. It was an exquisite pastoral given to us at first hand, lived and not read. The idea of a destination faded from my mind, the desire to arrive departed from me. The trip to Ozark was like life—to be on the way was enough. One felt no desire to reach the other end. I had long since deserted the elegant red plush seat for one on the steps of the back platform. As we stopped from time to time to distribute freight cars or cinders the men explored the surrounding country. I was wishful, but, being unable to rid myself entirely of an old superstition concerning trains—the possibility of their careening off at a moment's notice—I remained on the steps, contentedly watching the flurries of yellow and white butterflies that drifted about, the huge brown beetles that waddled along the track for all the world like contractors out on a tour of inspection. I smiled back at the landscape that beamed on us all so genially, and bent my ear to the gaudt brown weeds, the burden of whose message was, "Once I was young, but now I am old," as they waved back and forth in the breeze. At peace with life and time, I thanked God for its long, sweet dream of country ways, indifferent whether we trundled onward or tarried forever by the way. Verily, I had tasted the lotus, reached the land where it is always afternoon. "Ozark!" shouted the conductor. There was a proud, official ring in his voice that seemed to say, "Didn't tell you?" and I began to gather my possessions, involuntarily exchanging a glance of sympathy with Falstaff and the man "just outside hoslery." Somehow, in that 18-mile trip we all seemed to have put out roots, and the arrival came with a rude shock of upheaval, provoking a passionate resentment at the necessity for getting off and separating. We did not speak, but each, I am sure, knew what the other felt. In the turmoll of life we had found a veritable via sacra. We were—a little bit—better men and women for having come by way of Ozark. Felt He Was Nobody. A few weeks ago, when Charles M. Schwab, the steel magnate, attended a meeting of the American Boiler Manufacturers' association, in Atlantic City, he, as the guest of honor, made a very apt remark in a speech at a banquet in his honor. "While you are honoring me now," said he, "20 years ago I did not feel that I was anybody. Now I feel that I am somebody. In the olden days I have worked with my hands with just such people as those of whom I am the guest to-day. "An episode which happened a short time ago seems to me to be appropriate to this occasion. I had hired a carriage at the railway station to drive me home. There was a colored man driving. I overheard a woman at the roadside say to her little son, "There goes Mr. Schwab in that carriage." And the little fellow asked 'which one, mom?' Mexican Mothers' Congress The women of Mexico have organized a mothers' congress, which will hold its first meeting in December.

They were impressed with the magnitude of the work being done as there are 22 inmates in the home who must be cared for, and if one thinks of the high prices now prevailing for food stuffs it can be readily understood that it takes considerable money to feed this large family. The managers of the Home deserve much credit for this work and the people should awaken to the fact that each and every one should do all possible to help maintain the Home. Refreshments were served on the grounds and a neat sum was realized by Mrs. Lottie Evans and her lady assistants, who made the affair the success it was for the benefit of the Home. Information has reached the city that, a few days ago, the sweet singer, Mr. Craig Williams, a brother of our dentist, Dr. H. I. Williams, who is railroading out West. was the victim of a daring daylight hold-up on his car. He, with two other railroad men, were on his car when it was backed down in the yards at Seattle. When the car reached the Y the men were suddenly confronted by a masked bandit with a big revolver in each hand. He commanded "hands up," which order was instantly obeyed. He then made one of the men search Williams, who secured about $200, which he promptly turned over to the robber, who seemed so well satisfied that he did not trouble the other two men, but handed to a compartment and locked them in. After a while that opened the door from the inside, but found the bald, bad bandit had gone. It might be some relief to the friends of Mr. Williams to state that the most of the money belonged to the N. P. Railroad Co. IDEAL RESTAURANT Special a la Carte Sunday Dinner.

R. Durant, Anwey Howell, Joseph Adam, J. Q. Adams, O. C. Hall and Sam Hatcher have associated themselves with the intention of forming a corporation under the name of The State Grand Lodge of the United Brothers of Friendship, Sisters of the Mysterious Ten and Juveniles of the state of Minnesota for the purpose of uniting fraternally men and women of honorable professions; giving moral and material aid; holding lectures; assisting members in obtaining employment; establishing funds for relief of distressed members with capital of $10,000. Dollars, and have compiled with the statutes of this State in such case made and provided, as appears from the articles of incorporation filed in this office. Now, therefore, I, Julius A. Schmahl, Secretary of State of Minnesota, do hereby certify that said above named incorporators, their associates and successors, are legally organized as, and are hereby made an existing corporation under the name of The State Grand Lodge of the United Brothers of Friendship, Sisters of the Mysterious Ten and Juveniles of the State of Minnesota, with the powers, rights and privileges, and subject to the limitations, duties and restrictions by law appertain thereto.

BIG BASE BALL BATTLE Between Leland Giants and Colored Graham, Ravens, Bengals, N Between Le兰 Giants and Colored Gophers During Triennial Week. What will doubtless be an interesting feature to lovers of base ball during the Triennial Meeting of the U. B. F. and S. M. T., week of July 26 to 31, will be the five-game series for the world's championship between the famous Colored Gophers and the present little holders, the crack Le兰 Giants of Chicago. The Le兰 Giants, under the able management of the great Rube Foster are unquestionably the greatest team of Afro-American players organized, and the presi and public everywhere they have played are face to admit the fact. Walter Ball, Wm. Gatewood and Rube Foster constitute the greatest trio of Afro-American pitchers ever seen in one team. The announcement by the Gopher management of the coming of the Le兰 Giants has aroused much interest both in the Twin Cities and the surrounding country, and the down town park will doubtless be taxed to its capacity for these five big games. Managers Reid and Williams, of the Gophers, have put together a team this year which is second to none, and the best they have financed in their three years' efforts. The latest addition to their team is the Taylor brothers, of the Birmingham club in the Southern Afro-American League. Their work since joining the Gophers has stamped them as finished artists and entitled to a high place in the firmament of base ball stars. The Gophers, who left on the 14th inst. for a five weeks' trip, is going at a merry clip, sweeping everything before them, 28 games won out of 32 played, is their record to date. And with the great trio of pitchers in Garrison, Taylor and London, backed by brilliant and superb in and out fielders, and the greatest bunch of sluggers the team has ever had, there seems to be nothing but victory and success ahead for the Gophers. On July 24-25 and August 1 the Gophers will meet their old rivals, the keystones of Minnesota. Games of July 24 and Aug. 1 in St. Paul and of July 25 in Nicollet Park, Minnesota.

Inquire at 405 13th ave. Minneapolis. Mention THE APPEAL. Base Ball. Interest is at fever heat over the coming championship series between the St. Paul Gophers and the Leland Giants of Chicago. The local team this season is a most classy lot, being especially strong in the batting. Several hundred rooters will accompany the Leland Giants from Chicago to "root" for victory for their pets while the Gophers will have the entire fandom of the Northwest to cheer them on. During the past week the Gophers and Hibbing team ended their season's schedule of 11 games, the Gophers winning 8 of the games. The Gophers will return home on next Friday and will go to Mankato for games on July 17, 18, thence to Alexandria for a 3-game series July 20, 21, 22. They will return home and meet the Keystones of Minneapolis on July 24-25 following which comes America's Afro-American championship series at Pown Park, St. Paul, MN. They will visit famous Leland Giants. These will undoubtedly prove to be the fastest semi-professional base ball games ever witnessed in this section and "fans" are coming from far and near. In the effort to retain their title of World's Afro-American Champions, the invincible Rube Foster has announced that he will pitch two and probably three of the five games. HEALTH HOTEL.

A Secretary of State as Chief Advisor to the President. While we have kept free from all entangling alliances, the influence of the United States, first in the perpetuation of the Monroe doctrine, and secondly in the enforcement of the open door in China, has forced this country to the front as an exponent of aggressive diplomacy. The secretary of state nowadays must be original and creative, rather than sly, secretive and devious. Modern diplomacy is honest, and Secretary Knox with his great reputation as an acute lawyer behind him ought to be able to achieve as splendid a reputation as did Secretaries Hay and Root. Under our modern system the secretary of state is something more than a diplomatist. He becomes the chief and most confidential adviser of the president. When the real history of Elliu Root's connection with President Roosevelt's administration comes to be written it will be found that both as secretary of war and then as secretary of state his principal service was outside of his own department. It was as a great lawyer that he became the most valuable and in everything he undertook, whether it was a bill of rights for the Fillipinos, a government for Cuba, or a friendly compact with Japan, there was always seen in it the hand of the personal lawyer and confidential adviser of the president. Mr. Root was called into consultation in almost every case where a man with his training would prove valuable. He gave advice to the president more often on domestic than on foreign affairs, and through the whole list of activities of the Roosevelt administration, from trust prosecutions to the pure food law, Ellin Root was constantly at the president's elbow, and his advice, as the president himself said, was more often taken than that of any other man in the country. MAKING A FISHING ROD. Different Kinds of Australian Woods Used for Various Joints, Queensland woods have lately come into fashion for the making of fishing rods. The South American greenheart was imported into Australia and New Zealand extensively formerly, but this has been superseded by the woods of the Queensland forests, which furnish material for the building of a very effective rod, and there is talk of establishing an export trade. The following description of a fishing rod made from these Australian woods illustrates the point. For the butt black wood was employed. This is a dark colored, nicely figured, close grained timber, very hard and heavy. It is used chiefly as a substitute for the walnut and has been turned to advantage in gun stocks, joinery and cabinet work and can be carved for panels. The middle joint was of spotted gum, one of the myrtaceae. It is a graysh timber; the grain, while often perfectly straight, is occasionally interlocked; a hard, tough and elastic wood; it is much used for the making of spokes, shafts, plies, ax handles, rims and many other purposes. The top joint was constructed of a red gum, a straight fibered tough wood, which, although heavy, may be worked freely. This is another valuable and common wood, being largely employed in the construction of carriages, shins, buildings and bridges. The Country Gcing Dry. During 1908 11,000 saloons were voted out of existence in the United States, adding 325,000 square miles in area and 4,300,000 in population to the dry territory. Beginning with Jan. 1, 1909, there are eight prohibition states. During the year there will be legislative fights in nine other states for state-wide prohibition. Washington and Idaho, both now marked "wet," will "go local option" at the next legislative sessions of the two states. At the next session of the legislature of Tennessee a majority of the members (already elected) are pledged to vote for state-wide prohibition. Gov. Patterson will veto the bill, but in that state a mere majority of the legislature can override the governor's veto. Fisherman's Luck. There was once a comedian who went out with a fishing party and began to suffer from thirst. One of the crowd took pity on the sufferer and fastened a bottle of beer to his fishing line while he was on a voyage of exploration. When the actor returned he found his line heavy and started to haul in what he thought was the biggest fish of the day. Gleefful over his changed luck, he shouted to the captain: "Hey, captain, this is the place. Anchor right here; we're sailing over a brewery." Making Himself Solid. "Step this way, ladies and gentlemen," exclaimed the lecturer in the dime museum, "and gaze upon one of the greatest wonders known to medical science—the ossified man, a human being, but who has turned to stone." "How did he get that way?" came a voice from the awe-stricken throng. "Love," replied the lecturer, lowering his voice confidently; "dove did it. He fell in love with a beautiful maiden, tried to make himself solid, and overdid it.
