AMERICAN GIRL WHO MAY SHARE A ROYAL THRU Though Remote, It Is Not Beyond the Bound sibility That Miss Anita Stewart, Who Is Prince Miguel of Braganza, Will at Some ceive the Homage of the Portuguese as T AMERICAN GIRL WHO MAY SHARE A ROYAL THRONE Though Remote, It Is Not Beyond the Bounds of Possibility That Miss Anita Stewart, Who Is to Marry Prince Miguel of Braganza, Will at Some Time Receive the Homage of the Portuguese as Their Queen NEW YORK—Princesses we have, one or two; and duchies are quite a few. Marchionesses and baronesses there are by the score, too, and any quantity of matrons who enjoy the proud distinction of being Lady This or the Countess That. But now we're going to marry royalty; an American girl is to make an alliance with a prince of the blood royal. New York, daughter of William Rhinoloch Stewart, and stepdaughter of the late James Henry Smith, multi-millionaire, is soon to become the bride of Prince Miguel of Braganza, eldest son of Dom Miguel of Braganza, pretender to the throne of Portugal. This is not the gossip of club or boudou, this royal romance. Nor is it announced in the regulation American way—by the mother of the bride-to-be. It has been done as royalty does it. The Austrian embassy in London, Miss Stewart has spent the season giving the statement, just as all embassies do when there is a marriage in their reigning house. youer son, Manuel, five men suddenly appeared in their path. A rife popped, and then another and another. The gendarmerie sprang to the rescue. The queen threw herself in front of the bullets. When the five regildes were killed it was too late. King Carlos and the crown prince were dead. Manuel was slightly wounded. To-day he is king. Emperor Puts End to Plots. But the unrest continues. Dom Miguel is plotting, always plotting. Finally things came to such a pace that the enmible imperor of Austria, Francis Joseph, helped sent for the pretender and told him bluntly that he would have to get out of Austria or stop his scheming for the Portuguese throne, at least within the confines of Austria-Hungary. This made it rather embarrassing for Dom Miguel, because he dwelt at his chaiseau of Slebenstein, in Lower Austria, and was colonel of an Austrian regiment. You and your whole family," said the aged monarch, emphatically, "will be put across the Austrian frontier if you attempt to conspire here for the throne of Portugal." Instead of the bride's family making the pleasant news known, the royal fashion is for the embassy of the family of the bridegroom to make the announcement. The person chosen to speak on this occasion was the Archduchess Maria Theresa, Prince Miguel's aunt. She gave a lunch at the embassy and there issued the formal statement. Afterward Mrs. Smith, the mother of Miss Stewart, confirmed it. "Could she be ever queen?" was the question that instantly arose everywhere. For Prince Miguel's family is not now reigning, though it would like to be. The bride's friends instantly began speculation about chances for restoration to the throne it claims as belonging to it by right. American Millions in Scale. Would it be a merganic marriage? Would the pretender ever gain the throne of Portugal, for which he has been plotting for years and years? If he died, would the son have the nerve to plot as his father has ever plotted? Is the present reigning house of Portugal so secure on its foundations? And what effect would American millions have been entrusted into the balance on the side of the bombing in Urganda? These were the questions that Europe and America began asking. "The pretender is always ready!" answered those who know best the intrigue and diplomacy of Europe. Unrest rules in Portugal to-day. It C U Palace of the Portuguese Pretender was just the same two years ago when Carlos was king. He set him up to rule without the congress, which so incensed the people that the Legitimist party sent a deputation to Dom Miguel, in Austria, to sound him in case there should be a revolution and Carlos should be dethroned. "I am ready at any time," said Dom Miguel, gravely, "to respond to a call to the throne of my fathers." But things moved faster than a formal dethroning. Early in 1808 death comes to all alike, king and commoner, but death at the hands of regicides. As the royal family drove out, king and queen, crown prince and the King Manuel. younger son, Manuel, five men suddenly appeared in their path. A rifle popped, and then another and another. The gendarmerie sprang to the rescue. The queen threw herself in front of the bullets. When the five regiments were killed it was too late. King Carlos and the crown prince were dead. Manuel was slightly wounded. He took the sword. Emperor Puts End to Plets. But the unrest continues. Dom Miguel is plotting, always plotting. Finally things came to such a pass that the venerable emperor of Austria, Francis Joseph, interfered. He sent for the pretender and told him bluntly that he would have to get out of Austria or stop his scheming for the Portuguese throne, at least within the confines of Austria-Hungary. This it rather embarrassing for Dom Miguel. He had his chief teau of Siebenstein, in lower Austria, and was colonel of an Austrian regiment. "You and your whole family," said the aged monarch, emphatically, "will be put across the Austrian frontier if you attempt to conspire here for the 'brone of Portugal.'" The emperor never liked Dom Miguel, particularly so after that distressing affair at Meylering, which has never been explained, when the Crown Prince and Baroness Vetsera were found dead. Dom Miguel was Rudolph's companion on that fatefal night. Never again did Dom Miguel appear at court in Vienna. But that didn't keep him from plotting for the throne. His six sisters, all married to wealthy royalties, kept drawing freely on their fortunes to aid him in his ambitions. All the family are loyal to each other, no matter what circumstances arise—it would mean much to them all to have a brother as king of Portugal. The boy beggar ourselves to put Miguel on the throne were he, longs!" is the slogan of the family, and they firmly believe, as he does, that the mass of the Portuguese want him as king. But of his son and Miss Stewart? Ah, that's the pleasant side of the story! Marriage Seemed Auspicious. When the beautiful Miss Annie M. Armstrong of Baltimore married William Rhinelander Stewart of New York in 1879 a brilliant future was preyed to. Her husband had money, brains, and a pedigree, advantages not always found in the country. She had charm, tact, ambition. Two children were born, William Rhinelander Stewart, Jr., and Anita. Dom Miguel. who is now 24 years old. Mr. Stewart, who is now by a birth member of the so-called "400," cared nothing for the little things of society. He belonged to a few well-chosen clubs—nothing more. He was a studious, serious man, interested in economics, good government and charities. President of the state board of charities, he devoted himself wholly to that and to the affairs of his estate. His library saw him more than once. No one guessed the secret, but the home life of the Stewarts grew daintiful to both. The break came when both children were grown up and the parents had been married more than a quarter of a century. Meanwhile James Henry Smith of New Defective Page THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. SATURDAY. AUGUST 21, 1909. York had inherited the many millions of his uncle, George Smith, an eccentric London lore, and blossomed out as the richest bachelor in the metropolis. He entertained beautifully. Mrs. Stewart, an old friend, received for him everything. At first Mr. Stewart was at home and the functions given by Mr. Smith Gradually he dropped out and finally was seen no more in company with his wife. Their last appearance together was in January, 1905, when Miss Anita made her formal debut at a dinner dance given by Mr. and Mrs. Stewart at their home, 24 West Fifty-seventh street, New York. Then suddenly Mrs. Stewart dropped out of York'sork and appeared in Stout Parks. R. She bought house, engaged a lawyer, and the next New York knew of her was the news was in black, accentuated by a superb wore of pearls, and the young daughter wore filmy pink chiffon over cloth of silver. Altogether the entertainment was a very smart affair, and it much impressed the noticeable number of Austrians who were present. Next day came the announcement from the Austrian embassy. Just as suspicious could be packed and travel accommodations arranged, Mrs. Smith and Miss Stewart, with a retinue of servants and a van-load of baggage, started for Austria. There conferences are now on with representatives of the Braganzas arranging those little details which are always so necessary in a foreign alliance, especially when one of the contracting parties has a title to bestow. As Rachel Miguel harked to the ducal title and the appellation "your royal blessness," so will his wife. Rumor Says That Picturesque Senator Will Resign Seat.

The rumor th 15 15 Miss Anita Stewart, Dom Miguel's Fiances, that she had begun proceedings for divorce. Judicial Separation Made. This was granted on August 24, 1905, the guardianship of the daughter going to the mother. Mr. Stewart kept more to himself than ever, but Mrs. Stewart started straight for Europe. There in Scotland, on the September 13 following, she was married to Mr. Smith. They started around the world on their honeymoon, taking Miss Stewart and a party of friends with them, but the pleasure trip was cut short at Kloto, Japan, by the death of Mr. Smith, on March 28, 1907. They started around that Mr. Smith had left his wife, $3,000,000, and his step-daughter, Miss Stewart, a life interest in $400,000 invested in the bonds of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway Company. So, if Mrs. Smith leaves her $3,000,000, or any large part of it, to her daughter, at least some of the Smith millions will go back to Europe, whence they came to "Silent" Smith, as he was called. The bulk of them is booked to stay here. However, the legatees of the $21,000,000 estate are the Smith Mason and George Grant Mason, got $5,000,000 and $10,000,000. be "your royal highness, family connections with royal highness," too.

The present pretentious was born in Austria or was John VI, king of 1828 to 1834, when he the present reigning of Miss Miguel's whose full name was Sebastian Marie, was nau, Lower Austria, of 1878. His mother was Elizabeth of Thurn an Mrs. Smith and her daughter soon went abroad and stayed there, to return to New York only for brief perilids. This summer, however, the widowed lightened her mourning for the London season and took the mansion belonging to the duchess of Somerset, in Grosvenor square. There she began to entertain beautifully for her daughter, the young lawyer, sister of Mr. Smith, and Mrs. A. J. Dreskel, her sister, also lent their aid, and Miss Stewart has now become one of the premiere belles of London, thanks to money and tact, to say nothing of her own charm of manner and her fresh, glrish beauty. Miss Stewart Meets the Prince. Before this year's London triumph Miss Stewart had met the prince. They were introduced in Paris last April, where Prince Miguel at once beamed with American heiriness. When the London season opened he followed her there. He at her side at every opportunity; it was plain that royalty was smitten. Pretty much all London society had an inking of what was to come when Mrs. Stewart gave her final big affair of the waning season on July 8. The sion of the house of Braganza was in close attendance upon the daughter of Mrs. Stewart, in the evening. Mrs. Stewart, in turn, took to treat the prince as a specially distinguished guest. The guests therefore came to the conclusion that there was an international alliance in the air. Mrs. Smith, who has been called the most patrician-looking woman in New York," never looked more so. She was in black, accentuated by a super rope of pearls, and the young daughter wore fliny pink chiffon over cloth of silver. Altogether the entertainment was a very smart affair, and it much impressed the noticeable number of Austrians who were present. Next day came the announcement from the Austrian embassy. Just as soon as trunks could be packed and travel accommodations arranged, Mrs. Smith and Miss Stewart, and a vault of barge, started to arrive. There conferences are now on with representatives of the Braganzas arranging those little details which are always so necessary in a foreign alliance, especially when use of the contracting parties has a title to bestow. As Prince Miguel is late to the ducal title and the appellation of "your royal highness," so will his title eventually THE KING'S CROWN be "your royal highness." And all her family connections will be either "your royal highness," too, or "your grace." Prince Hero of Many Romances. Similarly, too, the dashing prince's name has been mentioned before in alliances with the daughters of America. As a joke some of his European friends used to call him "the perpetual flance." Pressed by creditors—the house of Braganza is not rich, though royal—it was said that he had asserted that he was to marry Mrs. Samuel Sloan Chaucey of Brooklyn, a milieu and a widow. Next Miss Mary Pulman of Chicago was asked as about to become his bride. The only this past winter he was engaged to "Miss M. Vanderbilt of New York." There is no such person in New York society. The present pretender, Dom Miguel, was born in Austria on 1853. His father was John VI, king of Portugal from 1828 to 1834, when he was deposed and the present reigning house set on the throne. Dom Miguel's son, the prince, whose full name is Miguel Maximilian Mastian Marie, was born at Rachel cone, on September 22, 1878. His mother was Elizabeth of Thurn and Taxis. There is a younger brother, Francis Joseph, born in 1879. All the matches made by the Braganzas have been royal ones. One of the prince's auits is the wife of Charles Louis, archduke of Austria; another married Prince Alphonse, the brother of old Don Carlos; his sister married her cousin, the prince of Thurn and Taxis. Other alliances are with the royal house of Bavaria and the grand ducal houses of Parmus, Luxembourg and Austria. Miss Stewart's father not only the grandson of a king and a long time the sovereigns from the days of Alphonus Lus. fourteenth century, but he is related or connected by marriage with nearly all the crowned heads of continental Europe. That the two will make a princely looking pair must not be gainslain. Miss Stewart's beauty has already taken London by storm. She is tall, slender, swete. She has the dainiest of rose pink complexions, a wealth of fuzzy light brown hair and a little titted tint. The prince is dashing, mustached, erect of carriage, with fixen hair, blue eyes and fine, well-molded head. And how could his bride be queen? Just this way: If Manuel II and his uncle, the duke of Oporto, neither of whom is married, should die, and if the duke of Portugal should repudiate the remount of Portugal the prince's grandfather, then, at the death of his father, now Dom Mijuel, the protente, it would be—your majesty! the first American queen! A lot of "if!" But stranger things have happened. --- TILLMAN MAY QUIT Rumor Says That Picturesque Senator Will Resign Seat. is Ill at His South Carolina Home of General Nervous Debility—His Stormy Career in Upper House of Congress. Washington.—The shrill voice of Senator Benjamin Ryan Tillman of South Carolina may never be heard in the senate chamber again. Senator Tillman is ill at his home, a farm near Trenton, S. C. The rumor that he contemplates resigning his seat is revived, but Mr. Tillman is following the same course he did last summer and refuses to confirm or deny the rumor. Senator Tillman has not fully recovered from the attack of partial paralysis which seized him last summer. He tried to cure this by an extended tour of several months in Europe. The health resorts of the continent helped him greatly and he returned to the United States much stronger than he was when he left. While the paralysis did not return, a general debility from trauma led to his life unhappy in the last few months. The going of Tillman will take from the senate one of its most picturecreatures. "Pitchfork Ben," as he is called, is feared of all other senators for the sharpness of his tongue and the keenness of his wit. No man in the United States senate is an arab rough Senator B. R. Tillman, and ready debater than Tillman. While his remarks have never carried much weight they have appealed to the galleries and looked well in print. His logic weight have been poor and his speeches inferior to those of his opponents, but his mannerisms have won the victory for him in the popular mind. Senator Tillman's brother, the late George R. Tillman, was a congressman from the Second South Carolina district. In the house he was known as one of the most quiet and unemotional men that ever sat in the body. During his service he seldom talked and when he did he spoke simply and to the point. The name of Tillman was only unclearly used by Tor Tillman was elected governor of South Carolina in 1892. He celebrated his election by forcing through the legislature the dispensary liqueur law in that state. Always interested in education, he founded his second college in the state after the inauguration. The first school established through his effort was the Clemson Agricultural and Medical home, Fort Hill, S. C. The second school is the Winthrop Normal and Industrial College for Women at Rock Hill. The successful canvass for the gubernatorial chair encouraged Mr. Tillman to try for the senatorial election against Gen. Butler. The two men canvassed South Carolina county by county, and Tillman won in the legislature with 131 votes against Gen. Butler's. He took his seat in the House, and Tor Tillman has been re-elected twice since. His term of office would expire in 1913 if he continued to serve. In his career in the senate Mr. Tillman has had a stormy time. Always ready with his voice to attack or defend as the mood was, he got into a w诏 war with Senator McLaurin of his state over a new brand of Democracy which Tillman preached in his speech. He was accused of mocrory. McLaurin dubbed it plain Republicanism. The two senators clashed over some trivial matter in the senate chamber and were soon pummelling each other like school boys. Senator Tillman suffered the worst slight of his career after this fracas. President Roosevelt had invited him, along with the other members of the foreign relations committee, to dine with him when Prince Henry of Prussia was the guest of honor. When the President Island had the fight in the senate chamber he recalled the invitation to Mr. Tillman. The senator never has forgotten the snub and until President Taft occupied the White House never entered the White House grounds. His fight with Roosevelt was long. The president scored in the last encounter when he replied to Tillman's criticism of his secret service policy by publishing letters which tended to that Senator Tillman was interested in. Interests were being furthered by his activity as a senator. Seaman's Bethel, on Island Off California Coast, is Refuge of Sailors. San Francisco.—It would be difficult to find a greater oddity in church architecture than the Seaman's Bethel, on Rattlesnake Island, close to the port of San Pedro, off the coast of California. It is the decayed and weather-beaten hulk of an old ship that used to ploy the salt seas. Becoming unseaworthy, it was beached, made fast with ropes, and transformed into a church. The Seaman's Bethel is a mission church, maintained for the benefit of the sailors that come into San Pedro harbor, and of the fishermen of Rattlesnake Island. All the machinery and sea-going fixtures have been re-floating Institutional Church for Sailors. moved from the old hulk, and the rooms amidships that used to open into the engine room have been combined into the assembly hall. The after deck has been boarded in and transformed into a reading room. Tables and chairs, with many books, magazines and newspapers, give the place a homelike appearance, and here the sailors of the Seven Seas, with human drellicts from many lands, congregate in the afternoons and evenings to find out what is going on in the world. Really the Seaman's Bethel is a sort of institutional church. The after part of the hold has been fitted up as a gymnasium. Here also is a bowling alley; and in another corner are bath tubs and a water heater. Another part of the hold is fitted up with 'bunks, where the sailor who finds himself "broke" between voyages is made welcome to spend the night—or as many nights as he pleases. Thursday and Sunday evening Gospel services are held, but no collection ever is taken. The mission is maintained by the Seaman's Friend society as a true charity, on the principle that salvation is really free. A CAT OF ANCIENT EGYPT. Felines Considered Sacred and Were Worshiped in Olden Days—One Preserved in Bronze. Philadelphia.—An interesting volume on "The Place of Animals in Human Thought" has just been written by the Countess Evelyn Martinengo-Cesaresco, who shows us that the life of the meenest animal is full of mysterious and uncomprehended possibilities. The beast is not merely the servant of man; he is his friend and ally. He occupies a complementary place in the great scheme of creation. Such a conception of animal life is a Egyptian Cat Preserved in Bronze. commonplace with many of the older religions. It has permeated the philosophy of the east to so great an extent that the devout Indian will not willingly injure a fly or a worm, lest he invoke divine retribution. In ancient Egypt cats were considered sacred and were worshiped. One of these Egyptian cats, preserved in bronze, in the collection of the French ambassador at Rome, forms one of the illustrations in the volume and is reproduced here. Never Missed School in 11 Years. The managers of the Sheerness schools have had their attention called to the remarkable attendance made by the family of a resident named Hutchings. His daughter Bertha, who is leaving school at the age of 14, commenced attending at the age of three years, and has never missed an attendance nor been late during the whole period of 11 years in which the schools have been opened. 4,755 times. Another daughter, Ethel, was present with a gold medal a few years ago as a reward. seven years' perfect attendance, and seven are five other children of the family who have medals for similar records. The council school managers have decided to ask the Kent education committee to make some official recognition of Bertha Hutchings' remarkable punctuality—London Mall $2.40 PER YEAR Diverted Through Mountain to Give Power and Irrigation. Concrete Tunnel Six Miles Long is Completed After Four Years of Work at a Cost of About $4,000,000. Denver — When President Taft touches a button in this city the roaring waters of the Gunnison river will be halted in their right down an unexplored, immemorial canyon and will be turned by the eunning science of puny men straight into the heart of a 2,000-foot mountain. The wild river will plunge through six miles of concrete tunnel, the first part of its turning. It will emerge in the Uncompahgre valley only half conquered, still full of strength and mad defiance at the artificial bounds put upon its power. A series of "drops" will weaken it to the extent of 10,000 electrical horsepower. It will be free of the dark tunnel, but still confined within the banks of a 12-mile canal of greater size than the Erie canal. Racing down the canal, the humbled waters will be gradually diverted and spread out unthey become thy streams and trickling brooks, irrigating 160,000 acres of rich agricultural land. A giant of the hills will be subdued and will change its ages-long occupation of carving gravel to providing moisture and bloom for wilderness. The Uncompahgre ranks third among the great reclamation enterprises of the government, is the first to approach completion. It is the most spectacular if not the greatest irrigation enterprise in the world. The estimated cost of construction is Tunnel Through Which Gunnison River Will Hereafter Rush. toward $4,000,000. It was audacious to propose shooting a full grown river through a mountain. Enormous difficulties have been met and conquered in making that subterranean channel for the river since the beginning of the work, four years ago. It was comparatively easy to work at the west side of the tunnel. The slope of the mountain towards the Uncompaghre valley is gentle, but on the Gunisonn side it was necessary to build a wagon road leading into the frightful canyon, where the work at the road was done. This road is 16 miles long, and in places rises 23 feet in every 100 feet. Down this road heavy machinery was hauled, and the materials for building a town of workers at the portal. Tremendous flows of water encountered in digging the tunnel added to the difficulties. The water going down grade with the slope of the tunnel had to be pumped out at the rate of 500,000 gallons a day. Subterranean lakes were tapped, and when the drills penetrated water a stream 40 feet in length would pour out through a hole, knocking the men away from the drills, and even knocking the "nuckers" of the tram cars. Hot water was encountered at times, raising the temperature of the tunnel to such an extent that the miners were compelled to work almost naked. At one time a heavy flow of carbon dioxide, or choke damp, caused the workers to run for their lives, many narrowly escaping asphyxiation. It was three weeks before it was possible to work again in the headings, and then a ventilating tube would be built. Along stretch of fossil sea ice, crumbling and crumbling, compelled the use of a special system of timbering, causing another vexatious delay and extra expense. But the tribulations of the mountain borers are over. Only a few rods of shale and rock remain to be blasted by the tireless force of miners, working in three times, day and night. The 12 by 10 foot hole is faced with solid concrete, backed by giant timbers, which in turn rest against the solid rock. Through this waterway, which is far for countless ages, will a body of water lurge deep, with a carrying capacity of 1,000 cubic feet a second. The Great Spirit of the Rockies will mourn a vassal torn from his dominions, and everywhere people will enjoy peaches and muskmelons and potatoes grown in the arid soil of the Uncompass valley by the aid of the tamed and civilized Gunnson river. At a rumple sale in connection with a Yarmouth (Eng.) church mission the silk hat of one of the workers was inadvertently sold for a penny. AVE YOU READ THE ARPEAL?

SATURDAY, AUGUST 21, 1809. A WHITE SKIN NO EVIDENCE OF MORALITY. The immorality of the Afro-American is a favorite topic for discussion by moralists of other races; and indeed is the cause assigned as the necessity for grandfather clauses and jim crow laws. The most ardent advocate for the denounced race must admit that a few of the statements are true, but when comparison is made between the races, we at once enter upon debatable ground and there is room for argument. A vast number of proofs can be adducted to show that a white skin is by no means an evidence of high moral attainments: one of which we shall at once produce. It requires the vast number of 270,000 prostitutes to supply the demand in the three cities of London, Berlin [Picture of a man with a white beard and a dark suit, facing left. The background is a light color.] [The caption reads: "A portrait of a man in a dark suit, facing left."] Illinois' Senior United States Senator and Grand Old Man, Whose Beloved Was Taken From Him by the Hand of Death This Wesk. 1910 Illinois' Junior Senator to Whom Hon. Frank O. Eowden Has Given His Proxy as a Member of the Re publican National Committee. and Paris. The average life of a prostitute is five years. Out of the foregoing number 90,000 attempt suicide and one-fourth of the latter number succeed. At the end of five years the number must be recruited and mainly on account of the poverty of the working classes, the supply is readily obtained. The girl who was raised in luxury and has been reduced to poverty rarely escapes being the victim of those circumstances. A host of professional traffickers is continually on the alert to supply the market and many well-intentioned girls are actually entrapped and enmeshed as to be forced to yield. Not a few parents are base enough to consent to the degradation of their offspring, for the sake of filthy lucre. Not only this, but the notorious prevalence of divorce in the highest ranks of society, is an evidence of easy virtue not much better than actual public prostitutes. We need not specify cases—the woods are full of them. If the testimony of travelers is worthy of credit, prostitution is the vice of civilization. To what a pass things are coming in this "land of the free and home of the brave!" The daily press says that an Afro-American living in Morehouse parish, Louisiana, a few days ago, sued a white man who had killed his cow. The suit so enraged white residents that a number of them took the owner of the cow from his home, hanged him to a tree and riddled his body with bullets. If this is evidence of the superiority of the whites in that locality, then may God deliver us from such "superiority." When any man cannot seek in a legal way to right his wrongs without endangering his life, then life is not worth living; and, no community can lay just claim to being civilized, wherein such conditions prevail for any man, in such community, whatever his nationality, color or station in life. So live with your inferiores as you would have your superiors live with you is the basic principle upon which all men should build their actions. Then, just a few days ago, an Afro-American was lynched because he was caught, or accused—which is just as bad, if one is black—of playing the "Peeping Tom" act. When one set of alleged human beings hold the lives of another set of human beings so lightly, and do not hesitate to stain their souls with murder, but rather glory in it, is it not high time for those who believe there is a just God to awake from their lethargy and set about making a change of such conditions by every means within their power? A Washington city paper says: "There is a tendency among the colored people to crowd into the cities, where there is no employment for them, and where idleness leads to vice and then to crime. In' Washington there are more Negroes than can be employed, and many of them become vicious because they are forced to idleness. What is true of Washington is also true of many other cities." It continues thus: "Secretary Wilson states that labor leaders have recently complained that more than 2,000,000 men are idle in the large cities. These 2,000,000 men and the families they represent have to be fed. Forced by the overcrowding of the cities to be idle, they are consumers without being producers." Now, all of the above is doubtless quite true, but shows that the journal quoted had no occasion to make special mention of "colored people" and "white people" since the same is true about them all. But no mention is made of a great difficulty in the case, and that is that thousands of the unemployed have no means by which to get out of the overcrowded cities. They are hopelessly imprisoned therein by honesty. It is easy enough to tell the man who has fallen into a river to swim out, but suppose he can't swim. What then? The articles of agreement for a match for the heavyweight championship of the world were signed by Jack Johnson and Sam Berger, representing J. J. Jeffries, at Chicago on last Wednesday, but that is no sign there will ever be a fight. Jack Johnson agreed to every demand made by Berger except the size of the side bet. If Johnson proves to be as easy in the ring as he is outside of it, Jeffries has nothing to fear. We are inclined to think that Jack Johnson ought to have a guardian appointed to take charge of him. Ex-gov. Hoax Smith says: Experience shows that Negroes improve most rapidly where there are fewest of them in proportion to the number of whites, but leaves it to THE APPEAL to explain the cause of the phenomenon, which the latter attempts to do. Compare, for instance, Kansas and Georgia. In the former every Afro-American child has excellent schools; in Georgia, he has a miserable excuse of a school, taught by a half-starved teacher, for two or three months in the year. Senator Bacon makes two statements which to THE APPEAL seem contradictory. First he says that the Afro-Americans of Georgia have accumulated $27,000,000 of taxable property; and next he states that the expense of the schools for their children is borne almost exclusively by the whites. Does he mean to assert that that $27,000,000 of taxable property pays no tax? THE APPEAL conjectures that it pays pretty much as the other property of the state does? The spring races of the Meadow-thorpe Hunt club were in progress. Along the improvised race course which partially surrounded the pole field and skirted the lawn of the club-house a number of vehicles of various sorts, ranging from four-in-hand coaches to break-carts, were drawn up, and the whole scene, the fresh green of the turf lighted by the gay gowns of the women, the blue sky overhead, and the smiling landscape all around, was one which might readily defy the brush of an artist. A little blue-eyed girl, whose trim riding habit betrayed a perfect figure, albeit slight, and whose sunny hair beneath her straw riding hat escaped in tiny ringlets, as though defying the attempted seventy of its "doing up," whose dalty feet in swagger riding boots could just be seen beneath the habit fastened up to her waist, Peggy Strangeways, the "Witch of Meadowthorpe," made her way unescorted and unattended from the clubhouse porch through the thong of carriages and people to the improvised paddock, where a tent had been erected to the clerk of the scales and his paraphernalia. The Witch of Meadowthorpe had won her lot not from the spells which she cast over mankind, although she often amused herself in this very manner, but by her wonderful influence over horses. Not only did she "witch the world" with horsemanship, but the horse as well. She seemed to cast a spell over all equine nature. The most vicious brute in her hands was as gentle as a Shetland pony. Peggy made her way into the weighing tent and the men stood aside respectfully to her pass. She was in search of some one. Had anyone seen John Fogarty? "Mornin', Miss Poggy," said Fogarty a moment later when she encountered him just outside the tent. The bell pony rung for the first race—a polo pony excitement in there was much excitement in there saddled and off to the starting posts. "Good-morning, John. Are you going to start Whalebone?" "Deed we are, miss, but as for stoppin' him—well, that's another matter," said Fogarty, his honest red face lightening up with pleasure at his own wit. "How is Mr. Braddon this morning?" "I guess Mr. Jack must be getting all right again. He was a cussin' boy strong this morning 'cause he could ride instead o' settin' trussed up like a woman in a run-about, with two broken ribs and a collar-bone busted. "Is he here yet?" "Not he. But he'll be here in time to see Whalebone break Tim Grogan's neck for him." "Don't talk so, John. You make me shudder. Whalebone can't be so bad as all that." "I've handled some bad uns, miss, and I don't want a wuss one than Whalebone—when he is bad. For he's like a good horses and some women—beggin' a good horses, just like the little girl, you know, with a curl down the middle of her forrid. When he's good he's orlful good, but when he's bad he's 'orlid." "John," said Peggy, after Fogarty had finished his eulogy, "step aside a little. I want to speak to you quietly." She whispered a few words into Fogarty's respectfully inclined ear which brought a look of horror to his honest face, and to which he vouchsafed no answer but a decided shake of his head the negative. A few more words from the negative more than further and more decided shakes of the head, but Peggy's witchcraft was not for nothing. By and by honest John Fogarty's head ceased wagging sideways and remained stationary, and ultimately it went up and down, slowly and reluctantly, but still up and down. Peggy's witchcraft had at last prevailed. Whereupon the witch, having cast her spell, gave him a few parting injunctions and vanished, leaving Fogarty as bewildered and anxious as was ever an honest Irishman. Jack Braddon had been laid up for the last two weeks with two ribs and aollar bone broken. Gossip had it that he had been another fracture of a far more massive arm, short, that Peggy Strangways had broken his heart. Certainly Jack was in a very blue and despondent condition for a man who had only sustained such injuries as are looked upon as the fortunes of war in the hunting field. It did seem a little rough. After hunting and dancing and flirting with him all winter, Peggy had suddenly sent Jack about his business with the advent of spring for no apparent reason whatever, at least no reason which was apparent to the Meadowthorpe she was. There was no logical reason why she shouldn't marry Jack Braddon. He was well off, young, good-looking, and as passionately of horses as was Peggy herself. All Meadowthorpe, except a few impressionable young men who had been touched themselves by Peggy's witchcraft, had arranged the match some months back, and it was looked upon as highly considerate of Peggy to upset their plans. But upset them she did, and Braddon, Bradford, and another known but to herself, and doubled a good and sufficient one in her own estimation. Jack had entered Whaleborn in the steeplechase more in a spirit of bravado than ambition to win it. To tell the truth, he did not expect the horse to stand any chance of winning. Whalebone was a recent purchase, an animal of which he knew nothing except that he had a devilish temper and considerable speed when he chose to run straight, which was not often. He was a chestnut, fully sixteen hands high and a grand type of a thoroughbred. As Jack could not ride himself, he would not ask any of his friends to ride the brute, so Fogarty, his head man, had orders to put a professional up, Tim Grogan, a young Irishman, who had gotten quite a reputation as a lightweight steepelech jockey. Jack's interest in the whole affair was lukewarm at the best, and he only drove on the course in time to see the Hunters' Cup steepelech run off. As saddling bell had sounded and a bugle had summoned the horses to the starting point, some quarter of a mile away. Jack, Whalebone, his ears laid back and the white of eyes showing, swathed in his clothing, being led up and down by a groom in front of the weighing test. Then Fogarty came out of the tent accompanied by a slight figure wearing Jack's racing colors. "Thunder!" said Jack to himself, "that boy cannot never hold the horse." But Fogarty gave the jockey a "leg up," and Whalebone, after lashing out vigorously once or twice, put his head down and want quite peaceably in a roping gallop, his rider sitting him easily in spite of the awkward gait. Finally, having bunched all of the eight starters fairly well and gotten them all in motion, the starter dropped the flag, and the well-known cry, "clubhouse lawn, near the hearth of a mile distant." The steepeachlees lay along the valley skirting the hillside and, at first, away from the clubhouse, to which it returned in a straight line for the last mile. Jack Braddon was watching the start through his field glasses, when suddenly he dropped them with a short exclamation. Then the cry arose, "Here they come!" and down the valley, fully a mile away, could be discerned a little group of galloping horses as they wrote the long stretch for home. Only two horses been stopped by the fences and the other" also were going well together. It would be a close thing for the gallon home. They came past the judges' stand like a charge of cavalry, but Whale. She Whispered a Few Words. bone was a good two lengths in the lead. As Whalebonne the jockey pulled up Jack Braddon threw himself from his horse and grasped the winner by the bridle. A few moments later he assisted the exhausted rider to the weighing tent to weigh out. Then they weighted it together, accompanied by John Fogarty. Jack Braddon was deathly pale. He had suffered untold agony from his injuries and, besides, he had other reasons for being pale. Once away from the weighing tent he turned upon John Fogarty in a rage. "You can leave me to-day. Do you hear?" he cried. "You're not fit to be trusted. You shall have your month's wages and go." "He shall do nothing of the sort," said the jockey. "It was my fault, and but the sentence was not finished. Somehow they had reached the clubhouse as they did so Jack fainted dead as soon as Jack the jockey gave a little cry, and then, an number of people rushed to Jack's assistance, disappeared up the stairs of the clubhouse. A few minutes later Peggy Strangeways came demurely down the steps and hastened into the little sitting room where Jack lay on a couch. Only the doctor was with him, the former having cleared the room to keep Jack as quiet as possible until he could be removed to his own home. When Peggy entered the room the doctor, who knew a thing or two beyond the mere practice of medicine, discreetly retired. "What on earth made you do such a thing, Peggy?" asked Jack. "Oh, I don't know—mischief, I sup pose." "Will you promise me never to do a think like that again?" continued Jack. "Why should I promise you?" "Peggy, you are not to be trusted alone. You ought to have a husband to look after you. Come, Peggy, say the word." And she said it—or, rather, she didn't say it—which amounts to the same thing, as we all know. And she said it—or, rather, she didn't say it—which amounts to the same thing, as we all know. Virgins. As it happened, however, the five foolish virgins were observed in their perplexity by five wise men. "Permit me!" quoth search of these, and stepped up and filled a virgin's lamp for her, adding: "Now, you just about need somebody to look out for you, don't you, eh!" And upon the five foolish virgins blushing violently and looking shy down the five wise men lost no time in procuring licenses, and they all lived happily ever after. As for the wise virgins, they sniffed some when they heard the news, am-inverted with considerable acerbity on the ancient mystery of the way of a man with a mald, and let it go at that.—Puck. "I see," said DeLorum, who was making a prolonged call, that an Ohio genius has invented a telephone attachment that will enable one to see a person miles away." "That may be all right as far as it goes," rejoined Miss Wearyn, "but enough.

The Grand Opera House is a very busy spot nowadays with the preparation being made for the opening of the fall season, which will occur Sunday afternoon, August 28th, presenting the perennial visit of Litt & Ding Garrison, famous in Old Kennett, to the cleaning of the Grand preparatory to the opening of the season involves a deal of labor and takes considerable time, as every part of the auditorium from pit to dome must need be thoroughly renovated. A vast cleaning force has been put in week reaching with their powerful equipment part of the immense building. An army of cleaners are preparing the floors for painting, all the electric light globes of the building are changed, draperies dry cleaned; in fact, everything will be done possible with the proper care of its opening bright, splice, span and cleaned as can be. "In Old Kentucky," the opening play, has built up a tremendous vogue for itself throughout the entire United States, and although it has now reached its peak of its career, it is as fresh and exciting as anything that is offered doing the theatrical season. The well remembered "pickannies" brass band, the feature pair excellence of "In Old Kentucky," and the company are stirring incidents and dramatic moments, breezy humor and a mine of good things in this grand old play. The company is always of a high grade character and a sumptuous production is always provided. That will be seen at the Grand this season are: "Babes in Toyland," "The Bishop's Carriage," "Sal, the Circus Girl," Cole & Johnson in "The Red Moon," "The Girl Question," "Graunstak," "Check-Up," "The Great Boys" that have not heretofore been seen in popular price houses. CURIOUS HERB OF FLORIDA Red Plant Which Feeds Upon Ants and Other Insects Almost everybody knows there are such things as insectivorous or carnivorous plans, but it is doubtful if many know we have such plants growing in Southern Florida. Nevertheless, there is a plant or rather herb, growing there which is really insectivorous. It is likely that on account of its being extremely small it has escaped to the environment. In fact it seems to have been overlooked in plants also, as we are unable to find it classed among the sensitive plants. This is an annual herb, and the entire plant, including the flowers, is of a deep rich red color. It rarely reaches a height of more than three inches and is never so broad. The leaves are spatulate when undisturbed and present many small fibrillae and secrete at their tips a tenacious fluid which is capable of holding the very small insects, such as ants and the like, upon which it feeds. When disturbed in the fluid and disturb this fibrillae the leaves slowly recover their original shape, leaving only the skeleton of the insect remaining. These plants grow on the very low, flat, poor and sandy lands. They apear in the late winter and early spring months. Little Helps for Awning Makers. "Our greatest benefactor," said a local manufacturer of awnings, "is the office man who sits and smokes and throws his cigar stubs out the window. If it's at the time of year when awnings are up on the big office buildings it is not improbable that the cigar will fall on an awning and burn a good-sized hole. "Possibly it will fall against a roll of the canvas and burn through several folds. Look at some of the awnings over the stores on the ground floor of bullings and notice the little round holes that have been caused by the falling cigar stubs. These holes, of course, greatly hasten the time when the awning must be replaced. Nearly every office building in town has suffered this same damage." Only Favoritism Wanted George Gould gives of railway difficulties at a recent board meeting. "A railway official finds it impossible, by being just, to please all hands," Mr. Gould concluded. "There is truth in the story of the commuter who entered a railway superintendent's office with a black frown. "Well, what next?" the superintendent said to the man, impatiently. "By our new timetable don't three additional trains stop at your station now? "Yes, but," growled the commuter, "they stop at all the other little stations, too." A Modern Amendment. A fox came upon some grapes in an arbor, and, though he tried repeatedly to reach them, there was nothing doing. When he paused to rest, a mink who had witnessed the performance suggested: "There are lots of others just as good within easy reach." "Oh, no." replied the fox, with a wag of his head; "those high ones that I can't reach are the only ones that look good to me." A Mixture of Substances Little Roy was: to be sent to his grandmother's on an errand, and was looking around for his hat, but failed to find it readily. As grandmother lived just in the next yard, Roy's mother said: "Oh, never mind your hat." Whereupon Roy said: "Why. shall I go to grandmother's with my head barefooted?" FOES OF THE LEVEEES. Sources of Danger to the Artificial Banks Along the Mississippi. "People who know little about our system of levees, the artificial banks built to confine the flood waters that into the Mississippi, no doubt imagine the heavy rains are the only enemy with which the levees have to contend," said D. J. Gerry of Baton Rouge, La. "On the contrary, the levees, both during times of flood and low water, are subject to the incessant attacks of living foes, the destructive work of which costs millions of dollars. These foes are alligators, turtles, muskrats, field rats, fresh water terrapin and crawfish. Of all these burrowers that form levees, excavating within them goodly times or tunnels, the crawfish do the most damage, with the turtles and terrapins a good second. The harm done by the alligators is comparatively small. "In repairing the banks, crawfish holes are often found of immense size. It is these hollow spaces that in time of freshets cause a caving in and break of the levees, which of course, brings on an inundation of all the adjacent country. The worst part of the business is that no way of exterminating these pests has yet been found, and the only thing to be done is to try to keep them away from the banks as much as possible." WHILE THE GLOVE IS UP. Then No Man Can Be Arrested in This English Town. The quant custom of "proclaiming the fair" at Honiton has just been observed. The town obtained the grant of a fair from the lord of the manor so long aga as 1257, and the fair still retains some of the picturesque characteristics of by-gone days. The town crier, dressed in picturesque uniform and carrying a pole decorated with gay flowers and surmounted by a large gilt model of a gloved hand, publicly announces the opening of the fair as follows: "Oye! Oye! Oye! Oye! The fair's begun. the glove is up. No man can be arrested till the glove is taken down." Hot coins are then thrown among the children. The pole and glove will remain displayed until the end of the fair. Guard the Food, Guard the People. One of the best laws ever passed in America, and one of the most efficient is the pure food law. Its fruits are seen in the general health of our people. Until recently dietetics was one of those vague subjects that cranks advocated and ordinary folks disregarded or laughed at. How strange that even the most ignorant man carefully selects the material for house building, even the family man is so careless in choosing the material for body building. The majority of people have no more taste in selecting food than they have in selecting tobacco. A New Medium. Mamma was trying to teach her four-year-old daughter the difference between right and wrong. She said, "Listen, baby, and you will hear a little voice in your heart, which will tell you what God wants you to do." A few days later, having some disturbance in digestion, and hearing a rumbling noise within herself, she called to her mother, "Mamma, mamma, come quick; God is talking to me in my stomach." Pipe His Nobs. Nice Old Lady--Will you kindly tell me if the lady who writes the mothers' page every week in your paper is in?

Ambassador T. J. O'Brien forwards from Tokio a translation by Student-interpreter A. A. Williamson of a recent order issued by the Japanese government authorizing the minister of agriculture to encourage the holding of competitive cattle shows and to money pizzles to winning exhibitors. Improve`the Town. There is a good deal of nonsense about "doing something for the farm." What is needed vastly more is to do something for the town; to make its living conditions better for the unfortunate whom an inexorable social and industrial system draws to the city. Do Wash Your Combs Wash all your combs twice a week in warm water in which has been dissolved one tablespoonful of borax to each quart of water.

Cedar 5260 The Ideal Tailors 581 WABASHA California Cactus Which Blows Around the Desert for Months. Curious among vegetable growths and one which is seldom seen by men is the rootless cactus of the California desert, says the Technical World. This plant, a round, compact growth, rolls about the level floor of the desert for some eight or nine months of the year, tossed hither and yon by the winds which blow with fierceness over all of California's sand plat during those months. At the coming of the rains, or rather the cloudbursts, which sweep the desert in its springtime, this cactus takes root wherever it happens to have been dropped by the last wind of which it was the plaything and immediately begins to put out all around it small shoots, which in turn become cacti, exactly like the parent plant. These young growths increase in size rapidly, sucking the moisture both from the parent plant and from the surrounding earth. The roots do not penetrate the soil deeply, but spread often over a circle whose radius is not less than ten feet. These roots, too, are small, but practically innumerable, and they get every bit of moisture and plant food to be had in the territory they cover. BLACK SPOTTED TROUT. 20,000 Eggs of This Species Hatched Out at the Aquarium. There have just been hatched out in the aquarium's model hatchery 20,000 eggs of black spotted trout which were received from the United States Fish Hatchery at Spearfish, S. D. The black spotted trout, so named from the black spots on its sides, is familiar to sportmen and dwellers in the far Northwest, where it is also called mountain trout, but not known in the streams of the East. It is a gamy fish and it attains a weight of two and a half to three pounds. The fry of a previous lot of black spotted trout eggs hatched out here were placed in the waters of Lake George. African Natives' Drum Signals. All through the continent of Africa the natives have a very perfect system of signalling with drums, by which means they rap out messages from village to village, and it is quite wonderful how swiftly and how far they are able to spread news. The drumming is always done at night, when sound travels farther, and as one lies awake on a still, clear night the ear is often gently assailed by the low, musical roll from a drum in the village near, and one waits with pleasant expectancy till the answering echo comes, muffled by distance, from a village sometimes two miles away. Long Ways Around in Scotland. Scotland possesses several other railway anomalies, of which probably the most notable is that of the stations of Mailaig and Kyle of Lochalish, which, though only twenty miles apart in a straight line, are separated by no less than 360 miles of rail by the shortest route, viz. Crianlarich, Balquhidder, Perth and Inverness. Yet another Scotch incongruity is that the nearest railway station to the town of Port Ellen, on the island of Islay, if we expect the small local line at Campbeltown, is Ballycastle, in Ireland. Democracy and Learning No longer can our universities be maintained as the close preserves of the wealthy classes. By a process of evolution they are becoming national institutions for the sound training of all sections of the community. The mingling of classes at our ancient centers of learning must in itself be productive of good, while the mental horizon of the workingman will be immensely enlarged by contact with university culture and traditions. --- Where Nightingales Are Banned Where Nightingales Are Banned.
