WINNING AGAINST FATE EDWARD B. CLARK COPYRIGHT, 1909, W. A. PATTERSON WINNING AGAIN FAT EDWARD B. CL PRINTED, 1809. — W.A. PAT WINNING AGAINST FATE EDWARD B. CLARK ASHINGTON.—In the war department in Washington is a letter written by Lieut. Gen. Nelson A. Miles in praise of the deeds of five enlisted men. Gen. Miles' letter is written as simply as becomes a soldier, but it is a pulse-stirring epistle. It is probable that nowhere else in authen-tie history can there be found an account of a battle won by a force of men when the odds against them were 25 to 1. In no story which can be told concerning the troops the plains is there to be found a tale of greater heroism than that shown by a little contingent of enlisted men of the Sixth United States cavalry down near the Red river in Texas, in the summer of the year 1874. The Sixth cavalry has had a fighting history, but this particular story shines bright in its pages. The Comanches, the Cheyennes and the Klowas were on the warpath and were leaving a red trail all along the borders of western Kansas. General, then colonel, Nelson A. Miles, was ordered to take the field against the savages. His expedition fitted out at Fort Dodge and then struck for the far frontier. The combined bands of Indians landed in the troops were on their trail and they led south to the Red river, of Texas, both pursued by two troops of the Sixth cavalry, commanded by Captains Biddle and Compton. On the bluffs of the Tule river the On the bluffs of the Tule River the aux braves made a stand. There were 600 warriors, many of whom were mounted plains Indians.

Heroism was the o days. In the White River val- tachment of troops was our The whole country was swarming with Indians and the Trip to Camp Supply was one that was deemed almost certain death for the courtiers who would attempt to make the ride. The commanding officer of the forces in the field asked for volunteers and Sergt. Zacharias T. Woodall of I Troop stepped forward and said that he was going to give his example was followed by every man in the two troops, and that day cowardice hung its head. The ranking captain chose Woodall, and then picked out four men to accompany him on the ride across the Indian-infested wilderness. The five cavalrymen went northward under the starlight. At the dawn of the first day they pitched their dog tents in a little hollow and started to make the morning cup of coffee. When full day was come they saw circling on the horizon a swarm of Cheyennes. The eye of their cavalrymen offered the presence of the Indians that they knew of the presence of the troopers and that their circle formation was for the purpose of gradually closing in to the killing. Sergt. Woodall and his four men chose a place near their bivouac which offered some slight advantage for the purposes of defense. There they waited with carbines advanced, while the red coron closed in its lines. The Cheyennes charged, and while charging sent a volley into the little prairie stronghold. Five carbines made answer, and five Cheyenne ponies carried their dead or wounded riders out of range, for in that day mounted Indians went into battle tied to their horses. Behind the little rampart Sergt. Woodall lay solemnly wounded and one man was dying. Let the letter of Gen. Miles tell the rest of the story. "From early morning to dark, outnumbered 25 to 1, under an almost constant fire and at such a short range that they sometimes used their pistols, they were able to change to overload and torture, this little party of five defended their lives and the person of their dying corrade, without food, and only the drink the rainwater that they collected in a pool, mingled with their own W THE CALIFORNIA WAR soldiers. Herosim was the order in the old plains' days. In the White River valley of Colorado a detachment of troops was surrounded by Utes, and four days the soldiers, starving and thirsting, made a heroic defense against the swarming reds. Relief came from Fort D. A. Russell, whence Col. Merritt Merritt led a force to the rescue in one of the greatest and quickest rides of army history. After Merritt's legion had thrashed and scattered the Utes it was supposed that none of the savages was left in the valley. Lieut. Weir of the Ordnance corps, a son of the professor of drawing at the Military academy, was on a visit to the west, and was in the camp of the Fifth cavalry. A tenderfoot named Paul Hume had wandered out to the camp to look over the scene of the great fight. He knew Weir and he suggested a detainment. The Ordnance officer agreed to accompany him and off they started after having received a warning not to wander too far afield. The hunters, eager for the chase, went farther than they thought, and soon they changed from hunters to hunted. A young lieutenant of the Fifth cavalry, William H. Hall, now stationed in Washington with the rank of brigadier general, was ordered to take a party of three men with him and to make a reconnaissance, for it suddenly became the thought of the commanding officer that there might be savages lurking about. Hall and his men struck into the foothills and circled the country for miles. In the middle of the afternoon they were driving to the right and front. It was rapid and sharp, and Hall led his men straight whence it came. Rounding a point of rocks the troopers saw at a little distance across an open place in the hills a band of Utes in war paint and feathers, where were 35 of the reds, all told, and they were as fast as they could load and pull trigger in the direction of a small natural fortification of boulders a quarter way up the face of a cliff. From the rocks came a return fire so feeble that Hall knew there could not be more than two men behind the place of defense. In a trice he thought of Weir and Hume, and he believed that blood. There is no doubt that they killed more than double their number, besides those they wounded. The simple recital of the deeds of the five soldiers and the mention of the odds against which they fought, how the wounded defended the dying and the dying aided the wounded by exposure to fresh wounds after the power of action was gone—these alone present a scene of cool courage, heroism and self-sacrifice which duty as well as inclina- THE APPEAL.

Suddenly the Utes took to shell ter behind the rocks which were scattered in the open. They had lost one man from the fire of the besieged. They were afraid to charge, knowing that to sweep up that slope, even with only two rifles covering it, meant death for several of their band. Hall led his men to a position on the flank of the savages and sent in four shots. The bullets were the first that the reds had that they had two parties to deal with.

He believed that if Weir and Hume could reach him, that the party of six, together, might make a retreat back to the camp, holding the pursuing rushes in check. It was a desperate chance, but better than staying where they were to starve and thirst or to be surprised and killed in a night rush of the savages. Weir and Hume heard the shots of the troopers and knew that help, though it was feeble, was at hand. They saw the hovering smoke of the caribines, and thus located exactly the position of the troops. They started to do what Hall thought they would do. They made a dash for some rocks 20 yards nearer their comrades than were those behind him. The cavalry lieutenant knew that the path of Weir and Hume would be bullet spattered all the way, and that if escaped was killed it would be because of a mirage. Then this stripling lieutenant did something besides think. The instant that Weir and his comrade made their break from cover, Hall stood straight up and presented himself a fair and shining mark for the Ute bullets. The reds crashed a volley at him, ignoring Weir and Hume. The shots struck all around Hall, making a framework of spatters on the rock at his back, but he was unhurt, and Weir and his comrade were behind shelter at the end of the first stage of their journey. Hall dropped back to shelter and then in a moment, after Weir and Hume had a chance to draw breath for their second dash, he stood up once more, daring the death that seemed certain. The shelter ones struck for the next spot that offered shelter ones struck that the Ute rifles spat their volley at the man who was willing to make of himself a sacrifice that others might live.

He ordered his braves to fire, the one half at Hall and the other half at the two who were now to run death's gantlet. Hall stood up. Weir and Hume dashed out. The reds divided their fire. Hall stood unhurt. Weir and Hume dropped dead within ten yards of the man who would have died for them. Hall led his men back over the track that they had come, holding the Utes at bay.

Defective Page WINS FAME IN AIR Glenn Curtiss Long Interested in Aviation. Had Little Time to Prepare for Context in Which He Captured International Aviation Cup—His Remarkable Biplane. *New York—By his achievement in winning the International Aviation Cup at Rheims recently, Gleenn H. Curtiss has jumped into world-wide renown in aerial circles. That his closest friend even to his closest friends presses it mildly. When Mr. Curtiss left for France on August 5 his machine had never been tried out, and he admitted that he was afraid he was taking a big chance with the limited time left him to get in condition at Rheims and try out his motor thoroughly. But after two or three days' tuning on the field the machine performed admirably at every appearance, and when he established a world record for speed at eight minutes 22 54 seconds, the circuit his American friends predicted that he would win, and he became a favorite at Rheims. If there is one thing that Curtiss does know thoroughly it is something about motors. He was an enthusiastic motor cyclist a few years ago, and held many speed records. He has been manufacturing motor bicycles for several years at his factory in Bendisonport, N. Y. Quickly realizing the special flight, he was one of the earliest airplanes to devote careful attention to the manufacture of aero motors. He was invited by Prof. Alexander Graham Bell to become one of the six members of the latter's Areial Experiment association, and with the exception of the experiments carried on at Baddeck, Nova Scotia, last winter, the greater part of their work in solving problems of the flight was done at Hammondport, where there was that the aeroplanes designed for the association were built and trout out. The third machine, which was the most notable previous to the long-distance flights of the Silver Dart over Curtise at Wheel of His Flying Machine the ice at Baddeck last winter, was the June Bug. It was with that machine that Curtiss challenged for the Scientific American cup, and won in one minute 42 seconds. He was only required to go one kilometer, 621 of a mile. When the Aerial Experiment association was disbanded last spring Mr. Curtiss directed his attention to making practical aeroplanes at Hammondport, and the machines he has turned out embody many of the ideas gained from his work with the association. The first machine which he completed was purchased by the Aeronautic Society of New York city. Mr. Curtiss gave some creditable exhibitions with it at Morris park in July, transferring his flying experiments to the tempested plains, near Mineola, made his flight in this country of 52 minutes 20 seconds on July 17 last, covering 28½ inches, which is now the record flight for the Scientific American cup for 1900. Mr. Curtiss' machine which he took to Europe is practically a duplicate of the one he used here with the exception of the motor and therein lies the secret of his success. Instead of using a four-cylinder motor he built a special eight-cylinder one, water cooled. It develops 60 horse power, and weighs complete about 200 pounds. He carries a thirteen-gallon gasoline tank and a three-gallon oil tank, the fuel weighing 60 pounds, the engine develops propeller thrust of 28 against 160 pounds on the old June Bank. His machine, a biplane, is about 30 feet wide, with a total span of surface of 225 feet. The total weight of the entire machine ready for flight is 700 pounds, about 100 pounds heavier than the first machine used at Mineola. It is interesting to note that Curtiss was the second choice of the Aero Club of America. Efforts had been made to induce one of the Wright brothers to represent America, but they declined on account of other duties. Mr. Curtiss was definitely notified of his acceptance by the Aero club within six weeks of his departure to Europe. MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY.

SEARS HAPPY AS FARMER Former Head of Mail-Order House, Who Retired with $25,000,000, Works in Fields. Chicago.—Richard W. Sears, who has retired from business with $25,000,000 made in 17 years, took charge of the threshing at his farm at Gray's Lake, 11 p. m. the other day. At five p. m. the man whose financial career would have been meteoric had it not been for his quiet way of doing things was out in the fields supervising the work that the 20 men who came an hour later were to accomplish before sundown. Wearing overalls and wide-brimmed straw hat, as if he were accustomed to them, Mr. Sears surveyed his model farm as if it were the only interest he had in life. He refused to turn from it and Richard W. Sears. look backward over the 17 years that have elapsed since he left his post as telegraph operator in Redwood Falls, Minn., to start the mail-order business that has grown into the greatest in the world. "I'm awfully busy," he declared. "I have to look after the threshers and get this work done to-day. I haven't any time to talk about myself. Never did have," he added, with a merry twinkle of his eye. "Farmer" Sears, who has announced that he intends to devote the rest of his life to his family and his farm, is only 49 years old. He was a telegraph operator of a layman station when an eastern watch manufacturer sent him a watch with the privilege of returning it if he could not sell it. He found that he could sell that watch and many more. So large did the watch trade he established become that he resigned his position and went to Minneapolis. Two years later he came to Chicago and began the business career that ended recently with the sale of his six Sears, Roebuck & Co., to a New York estate and his retirement with great wealth. Mr. Sears' family is enjoying the farm life as much as the head of the house. His four children—two boys and two girls—have been reveling in rural domesticity and say they want to be farmers too. HALL OF CHRIST IS UNIQUE Aula Christi at Chautauqua, N. Y., Only Building of its Kind in the World. Chautauqua, N. Y.—The dedication of the Aula Christi or Hall of Christ—the only building of its kind in the world, took place recently in this city. The first proposed the idea 16 years ago, Biblae, H. Vincent, gave the dedication address. This new building to be devoted exclusively to the study of Christ, was erected at a cost of about $40,000. The largest single contributions to its erection were $10,000 from the Massey estate in Toronto; $5,000 from Miss Helen Gould and $3,000 from the estate of N. T. Arnold. The last $12,000 for its completion was given by Chautauqua at a single meeting last year. The building is constructed of white Roman brick, stone, steel and white terra cotta. The windows are all of historic significance presenting in chronological order events in the life of Christ. All the books which have been written upon the life Christ, including a very large library dealing with the interpretations of Christ, and Christ in ethics, in social science and in Aula Christi, or Hall of Christ. modern civilization, are soon to be collected in one room of this hall. In another room will be collected and placed in easily accessible copies copie of Christ's engravings or other pictures of Christ's engravings brought within reach. In charge of the library and engravings will be a curator. A beautiful main audience room will be used exclusively for appropriate meetings. Already these meetings are being held in the new building. Later courses in study are to be inaugurated in the life, words and deeds of Christ and in the results of teaching these courses are to be taught for the young. A special service is to be held in this building at least once a month throughout the entire year. Work of Repairing Famous Cliff Palace Going On. Investigation Shows That Ancienti Used Great Apartment Houses for 1,000 Families Before History Was Written. Kansas City—Centuries before the first apartment house had taken form in the minds of modern architects the cliff dwellers had developed the flat to an extent that the builders in the great cities are just beginning to appraise. The old-time Americans were not meant to house a dozen or a score of families under the same roof; they made room for an entire community, sometimes consisting of possibly 1,000 persons, with their places of worship and entertainment, their workshops and all their industrial activities, excepting, of course, agriculture. This mode of living had its inconveniences as well as its manifest advantages. If the baby had the colic and a cold and night night, pater fainting could go for the medicine man without expending to the man documents and the back-door gossips could keep the whole community under surveillance without extreme exertion. But to dodge going to church when the kiva, or place of worship, was only a few hundred feet away, under the same roof that sheltered the home, must have taxed the inventive ingenuity of the first American seriously. The weather would never serve as an excuse and a Sunday headache would be only a filmay one. To visit the "affinity" under the watchful eye of life and mother-in-law must have been under a problem and the club must have been tame and commonplace when conducted within calling distance of the home. Decidedly, the modern way is much better, say the Sybarites. The present summer Dr. J. W. Fewkes of the Smithsonian institution has been engaged in the interesting task of cleaning and renovating the greatest of aboriginal apartment houses. Ordinarily a house cleaning job is of interest only to the persons engaged thereon or inconvenienced thereby. A scientific house cleaning is different; and Dr. Fewkes' understaking derives national interest and importance from the fact that it consisted in removing the accumulated dust, debris and rubbish of ages from the famous Cliff palace, the most im- Earliest Apartment House in World, posing prehistoric ruin in America and the largest and most spectacular cliff dwelling in the world. Primarily Dr. Fewkes' labors were intended to aid in the preservation of the Cliff palace—to prevent its further decay and demolition and to place it in condition for the enjoyment and edification of the increasing number of tourists and sightseers that annually drift that way. Another object in view was research—to gain, if possible, some insight into the state of the manner of life and ways of the cliff-dwellers of prehistoric America; their relationship, if any, to the existing tribes of the southwest and to make possible an intelligent guess as to their origin and their fate. No attempt was made at restoration or reconstruction; that would have been destructive of the sentiment to which the relics of the people of the stone age owe the major part of their interest. The old ruins remain now, the unmarried and unaltered work of the back. The excavation of the accumulated debris and dust heaps of the stone has been carried on with the greatest care to avoid the working of further destruction. Walls that seemed in danger of falling have been patched, buttressed or braced to save them from utter demolition and to preserve them in their present condition for the edification and wonderment of future generations; but the ragged sky of the great Cliff palace has not been broken, the stone and mortar and not a trowel has been applied excepting as a conserving (not as a rebuilding) agent. For what he has refrained from doing, quite as much as for what he has done, Dr. Fewkes deserves the gratitude of all who are interested in American antiquities. From a scientific viewpoint the most interesting result of Dr. Fewkes' investigation of the Cliff palace is the conclusive evidence brought to light by the Hopi Indians of northern Arizona to the prehistoric cliff dwellers of the Mesa Verde. Dr. Fewkes' excavations have revealed the fact that the Cliff palace is much larger than has ever before been suspected. The lower terraces and apartments were covered, filled and entirely hidden by fallen walls, talus from the cliff and the rubbish of centuries. All this has been cleared following how the palace contains 175 rooms and 23 halls. It may have accommodated a population of anywhere from 700 to 1,000 persons.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1909 ANNIVERSARY OF ATLANTA'S SHAME. Three years have passed since the bloody massacre of innocent Afro-Americans at Atlanta, Georgia. It was one of the bloodiest chapters in the history of the world. The exact number killed will never be known as the news was suppressed by the au Hear us, O heavenly Father! J. B. H. PROF. W. E. BURGHARDT DU BOIS. CALHOUN, BAD SPELLER "FAITHFULNESS AND DEVOTION." es a month or two to rest, or something happens. She has no stability, and she is daily proving that the old characteristics of the race—faithfulness and devotion—are passing away. No people in the world save the Southern people would endure the worthlessness of these Negro women." THE APPEAL would remark that the "Negro women of the present day" are working for money and not upon the "faithfulness and devotion" theory. They wish to be paid enough for their labor to live comfortably, but they are almost invariably forced to labor for a mere pittance, scarcely enough to keep breath in their bodies. Again, the best Afro-Americans refuse to allow their daughters to go out to domestic service, as it exposes them to the advances of dissipated young and old white men and often results in their degradation. The "Negro woman of the present day" very often has a good home of her own to which she can return rather than work for nothing, and she does not stay at one place if she is mistreated. And, even among her own race, the "white folks' kitchen girl" usually belongs to the lowest stratum of society. Did you ever notice that, no matter when, where or how a thing may be a black man is most likely to be in it somehow or other. He was in it when they discovered America; he was in it in the Revolutionary war, the War of 1812, the battle of Lake Erie; he was in it with the '49rs; he was in it on both sides of the Civil War; he was in it at San Juan hill; he was in it when the fleet went around the world, and he was on it when civilized man reached the top of the world, and helped to nail "Old Glory" to it.

Many in Peasants' Huts, Richly Carved and Ornamented. Survive and Ornamented. The Breton peasant has some charming qualities, courtesy, good humor, detachment from the prosocial side of life, but the virtue of cleanliness is not for him. The cottages are frequently very dirty, and the approach to them is sometimes over a pile of refuse. There is nothing of luxury in a cottage interior, but you may generally count on two things to beautify even the podest. One is the white coif of its mistress (always spotless, however dirty anything else may be), and the other is the brass trimmings of the armoire, usually polished to a degree of brightness that is positively dazzling. Some of these armoires are really beautiful, with elaborately carved panels, and in many cases are heirlooms that have been in the family for generations. Then there are the beds—one of them, of which the mistress is very proud, will be modern, with very coarse Nottingham lace curtains draped over it. You give it a few complimentary words in order to satisfy its owner, but what you really want to see is the "lit-clos" in the far corner, and if it is a "lit-clos a deux etages" you are more than content. Some of these "lit-clos" are things of great beauty, like the armoires, and the carvings on the sitting panels are enough to make a collector green with envy. To Stop Hiccoughs. Dr. Louis Koliphnski reports the arrest of persistent hiccough by depressing the tongue. A patient was attacked by hiccough which had persisted for four days before being seen by a doctor. He complained of the fullness of his throat, a condition which he thought the result of the hiccough. He was directed to sit up, and with a large spoon handle the tongue was pressed down and back with steady force to allow inspection of the fauces. Firm pressure on the tongue with the hope of further noting the action of the palatal muscles was continued, when to the doctor's surprise and the patient's astonishment and joy the hiccough ceased. When the hiccough returned the patient himself stopped it by using the spoon handle.—London Globe. Johnny Couldn't Help It The teacher of one of the rooms in a school in the suburbs had been training her pupils in anticipation of a visit from the school inspector. At last he came, and the classes were called out to show their attainments. The arithmetic class was the first called, and in order to make a good impression the teacher put the first question to Johnny Smith, the star pupil. "Johnny, if coal is selling at 1 pound a ton and you pay the coal dealer 4 pounds, how many tons of coal will he bring you?" "Three," was the prompt reply from Johnny. The teacher, much embarrassed, said, "Why, Johnny, that 'ain't right." "Oh, I know it ain't, but they do it, miss." Who Columbus Was In the afternoon in all the schools a part of the time was devoted to the study of the life and deeds of Columbus. An amusing reply was given by one of the pupils. A teacher had told the class of the wonderful voyage of Columbus and how he insisted on continuing the voyage after the other men were clamoring to return. Then she asked: "Who was Columbus?" with the view of hearing how well they had followed her talk. One little hand went up. A Litany of Atlanta "Well, jonny, who was me?" asked the teacher. "Columbus was the gem of the ocean." was the answer. One stormy morning, during the cruise to the Pacific, an officer of the battleship "Missouri" was making his tour of inspection. While crossing the forecastle he encountered a coal-passer leaning on the rail in the throes of mal de mer. With a gruff voice he demanded, "Here, here, my man, where do you belong?" The seasick man's hand went to his cap in an attempt at salute: "Cleveland, Ohio, sir," he replied. "To think I daren't take a feather for my hat with all these lovely birds aboard," she wept. Thus we learn that Tantalus had an easy time of it. Information. Tommy—Paw, when you say, "it was done by congress," is "by congress" swearing? Mr. Tucker—Not necessarily, my boy; but it often causes a lot of swearing. Harker—But she is not beautiful outside of the coat. Jinks—Ah, I see; in that case 'beauty is skin deep,' eh? Progress. "How's Smith getting on in his new position?" "Fine. He's already begun to think that the boss couldn't run the business without him." PARM WORK AS A PLEASURE. Agriculture Lacks Interest When Nature's Waves Are Not Hooded ture's Ways Are Not Heeded. The field might just as easily have been beautiful as ugly, and have fallen in with the general plan of the landscape just as readily as a natural meadow of clearing among the trees. It would have been just as fertile and just as easy to work if we had taken account of the farm as a whole and had planned it as carefully with relation to the natural features around it as we would now plan a landscape garden; that the skill to do so would, of course, have been very limited does not enter into the case; the point is that the interest would have been there. It would have been a delight—a piece of real creative work instead of drudgery to be done as soon as possible—that there might be some little time left for the pleasure which was regarded as a separate thing. The fact that pleasure is always considered a separate thing from work on the farm is the whole root of the matter. To the city man or the man who has gone back to the farm for peace and relief from other cares, the work in itself is the pleasure. If the interest of the farmer could once be roused to the point of finding that same pleasure for himself and teaching his children to find it there would be no need of all this talk and effort to prevent the exodus from the country to the city. And if the agricultural schools could succeed in giving to the country boy sufficient knowledge of the interest and significance that really lies in every stroke of work he does; or the active mental effort that should go into farming as well as into any other form of business, we should not longer have to complain of the falling off of our agriculture as compared with our manufacturers.

S. Graves at St. James church, H. S. Graves at St. James church, Monday evening was a great success, there was a full house, an excellent program and Rev. Graves received about $15 from the free will offering. A resolution was unanimously adopted asking the Bishop to return him for another year as pastor of St. James. The popular Ideal Restaurant, 341 Wabasha street, has changed hands and Mrs. Graves is now the proprietor. The former excellent reputation of the Ideal will be maintained and perhaps improved upon. First-class a la carte meals will be served at all hours and a regular dinner will be served from 11:30 to 2:30 for 25 cents. All old patrons and as many new ones as possible are cordially invited. A very pleasant social was given at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Utley on Wednesday evening for the benefit of St. Phillips church. The features of the program were piano solos by Misses Willa Moore and Ella Warren and recitations by Master "Bobby" Williams, aged only 6 years, and Mr. Firstron White. Little "Bobby" Wonder and Mr. White sprung a surprise as few knew of his ability along that line. Everybody take notice! There will be a grand entertainment given by the Progressive Club of St. Phillips Church at Bowley Hall, corner Sixth and Robert streets, on Monday evening, Sept. 27. Dancing will begin at 30 o'clock. There will be good music and splendid refreshments. Everybody will be welcome. Admission 35 cents. The committee in charge are: Frank Fowkes, Charles E. Charleston, Miss Zalda Dennis, Miss Laura Cotton, John La Coste. He Was Born Too Soon. A middle-aged gentleman was asked the other day he liked the liver wing of a chicken. "I hardly know," he said. "I have so seldom eaten them. When I was a boy they fell to my father's share, and now that I am a father my children eat them." Love.

The street traffic of Paris has become so dangerous since the introduction of motor cars that underground passages are being made at several places where accidents have happened, notably in the Avenue des Champs Elysees and the Place de la Concorde.

OF THE WORLD CERVUS ALCES The death of Governor John A. Johnson on last Tuesday morning was the saddest event that has happened in Minnesota since THE APPEAL has been published, and all the people regardless of creed, nationality or party, feel it most keenly. He was a man with a most genial personality and seemed to be devoid of racial prejudice, which made for him as warm a place in the hearts of the Afro-American citizens of the state as in the hearts of any other class of his constituency. It is wonderful the hold he had in the hearts of the whole people. He was honest, earnest, fair-minded and was loved by all, and all deeply mourn his taking off in the prime of his life, and when his field of usefulness seemed to be just opening. His place will be hard to fill. ```markdown ``` To Make an Effort to Get the Good Citizens Interested in It. The Afro-American Athletic Association solicits your aid, kind reader, in its effort to supply a great need. At a meeting held at the residence of Mr. J. H. Hickman last Tuesday evening a reorganization of the association was effected. Mr. J. H. Hickman, the chairman pro tem, was authorized to solicit. Messrs. F. D. McCracken, Earl Walker and M. A. Bolling were made a committee to arate the results of exchange ideas, the same to be free to all interested in the project. Let all act in concert and thus accomplish this which is so much needed among the citizens of St. Paul. "THE MOULIN ROUGE BURLES-QUERS" The Next Attraction at the Star Theatre. At the Star Theatre all of next week a genuine novelty in the way of burlesque will be presented by the Moulin Rouge Burlesquers. This company has been one of the sensations in New York. The opening is entitled "A Night at the Moulin Rouge." The scene is laid in that famous cafe of Paris, "The Moulin Rouge." In this the comedy is of the hilarious order, while the many beautiful girls are given a chance to deport themselves in many costly and elaborate gowns, introducing musical ensembles, using all original and catchy music. The burlesque is entitled "O'Fellow and Desdemona," and is a screaming musical satire. In this girls are given plenty of scope to appear many times, while the comedians keep the fun moving at a lively rate. The olio is presented by Fisher and Bonner, a lively pair; Kaufmann and Sawtelle, character singing and musical act; Prevost and Brown, comedy acrobats, introducing the cork screw kid, and Joe Emerson and Murray Silmonds in a singing, talking and dancing act.

Formation of Ice Archway an Annual Phenomenon. Eight thousand and four feet of ice high is the Yolo glacier of Canada. Since the first discovery of this largest of Canada's glaciers it has maintained a grand archway of ice at its lower extremity. The span of this arch is no less than 250 feet, and its height is estimated at 70 feet, while from beneath the arch the drainage escapes. The formation of the arch seems to be an annual phenomenon. Toward the close of the summer it becomes weakened by melting, and the whole structure collapses. The ice gradually is broken up and finally removed, and the formation of a new archway is commenced. From the archway issues the Yoho river. It is calculated that an avalanche must have occurred in 1850 or 1860. Since then the retreat of the glacier has been at the average rate of five or six feet a year. From August, 1901, to August, 1904, it was found that the retreat had been 111 feet, or 37 feet a year. Between August, 1894, and August, 1905, the glacier receded but nine feet, and is now thought to be checked. About the nose of the glacier there is evidence of a bodily disruption of the rock strata, to which the term "plucking" is applied. Rock layers are ripped off where the layers are thin bedded and pointed, and the fragments are pressed into the ice to assist in further work. The Yoho glacier is an almost if not entirely isolated example of a glacier as a great engine of erosion. Other glaciers move forward and are engines of transportation. No More Gold Lace for Afghans. The ameer has published an edict, which applies to all parts of Afghanistan, prohibiting the import into the country of all kinds of gold lace, including embroidered kullas lungis and embroidered shoes. The ameer is evidently actuated by a desire to prevent his subjects from spending their hard earned money on showy dress. It is the poorer classes who are notoriously addicted to this extravagance, which his majesty has decided to check. The gold laced coat of the Afghan is decidedly handsome, and although the ameer has acted wisely in bringing into general use clothing less costly, his majesty's orders will doubtless be received by his subjects with rather mixed feelings. A Lucky Fugitive. Ex-Gov. William S. Taylor of Kentucky is a lucky man. After having been indicted for participation in the murder of Gov. Goebel he fled to Indiana. The chief executive of the Hoosier state was a Republican, and when Gov. Beckham made a requisition for Taylor it was refused. Now there is to be inaugurated a Democratic governor of Indiana, and if there should come a request from Kentucky for Taylor it would be granted. But no such request is to be made. Kentucky has a Republican governor and he is willing that Taylor remain where he is. When you wish a first class shine call at the Peoples Shining Parlor No. 127 E. 5th street, Walter Porter, Prop.

Frazee's production of "The Girl Question," a musical play by Adams, Pough & Howard, authors of "The Time, the Place and the Girl," and is along the same lines of human interest embellished by dashing songs and dances and pretty chorus girls. There is side-splitting fun resulting from witty dialogue and humorous situations, as well as an absorbing plot. The chorus contains 50 Blue Ribbon show girls and the $1,000 beauty "boilers." The production was staged by Mr. George Marion, which is a guarantee of success. The Time Table ow the musical MINNEAPOLIS DOINGS IN AND ABOUT THE GREAT "FLOUR CITY."

The use of ribbons with flowers has a great field and entrances the beauty and value of them. A bunch or basket with on appropriate bow artistically placed makes it worth as much again, if you are not simply selling merchandise. But put the ribbon where it belongs, where the eye suggests the need of something being tied. To put a red necktie on an araucaria is as bad taste as chiffoning an azalea with a lot of fussy stuff puffing out here and there. It does not do the azalea any good and wastes the ribbon. You can use some receptacle with the plant that offers an excuse to tie on a bow of ribbon and you at once have the satisfying effect on the eye. TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN. It has been rumored about St. Paul that the NAGEL UNDERTAKING CO. does not desire the patronage of the Afro-Americans. Having done business with them for the last fourteen years with mutual satisfaction, I know of no good reason why there should be any change in its actions. We are in the business for the benevolence public and we know no one by color, creed or nationality. All will alike receive the best treatment possible. The rumor is maliciously false. Any one wishing our services has only to call upon us to verify this statement. UNDERTAKING CO.. William E. Nagel, Mgr.

Clemens are known all over the world. The wells sunk on the hotel grounds to supply the guests with mineral water cost nearly $5,000.
