MO SHRINE WASHINGTON SHINGTON.—In the novel of "Ivanhoe," Isaac the Jew tells the knight that he knows it is the custom of the Christians to put on pilgrims' garb and to walk barefooted for miles to worship dead men's bones.

There is some mystery in Isaac's tone and Ivanohoe rebukes him with a truly heroic, "Blasphemor, cease!" I don't know how many thousands of Americans go yearly to Mount Vernon to pay a visit to the repository of a dead man's bones, but the number is something enormous. If George Washington never had lived at Mount Vernon, never had visited the town, he had died there, and had been buried in the antipodes there would be excuse enough for his visits to the place of seventy times the number of the pilgrims who go yearly down the Potomac to stand on the towering hill and to look off down the valley. It is with an utter shame that it is confessed that after four years' residence in Washington one man American born and with some lurking pride of patriotism in his make-up until recently went to the place where the father of his country and the exponent of the American school teacher's ideal of truth lies buried. WASHINGTON MOUNT VERNON Mount Vernon is the ultimate object of the voyage down the Potomac. There are other objects every paddle-wheel stroke of the way, for the hills on either side are hills of rare beauty crowned with trees that saw the revolution and that in the fall are wearing the raiment which belongs to the kings of the forest. On the boat going down there was a young German gentleman, who had married an American wife. He was much more interested in the beauty of the Potomac's banks and in the history of the country beyond the banks and in the life history of George Washington than was she. The German asked his American wife If George Washington was born at Mount Vernon, She answered that he was; which he wasn't, not by many miles. He asked her many other questions, to each and every one of which, with untrained inaccuracy, she made answers. This was a traveled American girl. There is a fairly well-grounded belief that she met and captivated her German husband while she was doing Europe in an automobile or was rhapsodizing on the Rhine. whering inace made answers. This was a travelled girl. There is a fairly well-defined she met and captivated her German she was she doing Europe in an au was rhapsodizing on the Rhine. Some day, perhaps--vedy likely, it will go back to her husband's land listen to his telling of his American the enthusiasm of the nature which he will encounter he will tell tetric truths" conceive George which he learned from his American. It may be that some of his know something of the life of the Ameral who was the friend and fellow Steuben will come to think, as some have come to think before this, th ton. The body was removed from the base of the oak about 75 years ago. It never should have been removed. It is said that Washington selected the place where the oak now lies and left instructions that one day the change of sepulcher should be made. The oak which guarded the first grave must have been standing for three centuries. The view from the place is inspiring enough to enkilde the eyes of a dead man. The view from the new tomb is fine in its way, but it is as nothatch which grand sweep of river, hilltop and foresta which Washington slept in the place where Washington slept for 30 years. Some day, perhaps—vedy likely, in fact—she will go back to her husband's land and will listen to his telling of his American trip, and in the enthusiasm of the nature which he made manifest on the Potomac he will tell the "historic truths" concerning George Washington which he learned from his American wife. It may be that some of the Germans who know something of the life of the American general are the friend and fellow soldier of Steuben will tell you some Americans have come to think before this little American history might be included in the course of study of the average American girl, and that not a dollar should be spent on her passage money to Europe until she knows without stopping to think whether it was George Washington or Abraham Lincoln who crossed the Delaware, and who, something later, forced the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown. This may seem to a matter that is beside the mark, but while the experience too thorough a knowledge of American history would be some things said on the boat plying down the river that if they had been said by an eighth-grade schoolboy ought to have brought him a flogging. Hundreds of visitors go to Mount Vernon daily. They peer into the tomb and then straightway go to the house. There is an interest, of course, which must attach to any of the belongings of Washington, but it seems to be a legitimate matter of regret that of the thousands who Vernon the interest in the mirror which Washington was shaded and in the spoon with which he ate his herring if he ate porridge, is far greater than in the forest trees under which he walked and in the garden whose hedges of formal cut were planted with his own hand. Indoors at Mount Vernon everything is dead; outdoors everything is alive. The forest and garden are instinct with Washington; the contents of the house are as dust. There is a real interest, however, in the library of the old home. In the main the books are simply copies of those which were on the shelves in Washington's time. The originals, as I understand it, are in several libraries of the town, which are open at the title originals, however, which are open at the title good, so that if light be good, one may read Washington's name written in his own hand and the title of the book Mount Vernon has been written about by pretty nearly everybody who has seen the place. It hasn't fallen to the lot of everybody to see it in the fall. It is a noble place, a fitting resting ground for the first American. It seldom falls to man's lot to see such heroic trees. There is a giant oak which stands sentinel over the first burial place of Washing- THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1909. The light wasn't good on the afternoon in mind and all that one pilgrim could make out of a book's pages was "the Washington's name," he wrote. pilgrim could make out of a book's title, above which was written Washington's name, was the TOMB OF WASHINGTON word "Sentimental." The wonder was, and the poor light was responsible for its remaining a wonder, if the father of his country had not in his quiet hours been reading "A Sentimental Journey." If the gentle Martha had peeped into the pages and had reproved George because of what she saw there one can imagine his ready that the book was written by a holy priest of her own chosen church. The man with the megaphone on the Washington "rubberneck" wagons tells his audience of passengers as they roll by the Metropolitan club house: "This is the club of the nobs." In another minute, as the big sightseeing bus passes another clubhouse the megaphone man says: "And this is the club of the cranks." "The club of the cranks," as this informing shower calls it, is the Cosmos club, and a most interesting organization it is. Its membership is composed of scientists, some physicians and clergymen, a few lawyers and a museum men. The scientists are majority. pretty penny to the Metropolitan pay the dues and to live the life of the.

The scientists are in the great majority. It costs a pretty penny to join the Metropolitan club and to pay the dues and to live the life of the organization. The initiation fee at the Cosmos club is rather small, and the dues are light, but there are scores of members of the Metropolitan club, "the club of the nobs," who willingly would pay twice or thrice the Metropolitan's initiation fee and the Metropolitan's dues if the expenditure could gain them admission to the club where the "cranks" foregather. Every Monday night is called "social night" at the Cosmos club. Of course the clubhouse is open at all times, on Monday evening the members make a special effort to be present and there is always a large gathering in the great, sweeping rooms of the house where once lived Dolly Madison. They don't intrude "shop" upon you in the Cosmos club. The members are a genial body of men and they have many guests from all parts of the world. They find out what the guest likes to talk about and then some one who knows the subject is promptly introduced to him. There are few world subjects upon which you cannot get an expert opinion in the Cosmos club. The members, of course, have their hobbies and they ride them. In one corner of a room there will be an astronomical group, and there will be another corner with a fish group and another corner with a bird group and another corner with it, may be, a mushroom group. It isn't all science, and they are the Cosmos club. The members play billboards and play bridge, and have a fine time of it generally and expense, for it is one of the hard facts of earth that men devoted to science have little money. Learning doesn't bring high pay in the market. EFFECT OF COLORS Red Makes You Angry, Blue is Soothing. Paris Medical Experts Claim to Have Found a Cure for Divorce as Result of Experiments with Colors. Paris. — Medical experts of the French capital have found the latest cure for divorce. It is a result of experiments in colors made by eminent medical men. Who mock that red wall paper, red clothes and red gloves makes persons angry. Blue, on the other hand, is soothing to the nerves of excited and "touchy" husbands and wives. A Paris husband who had been having trouble with his wife consulted one of these experts as a last chance before seeing a lawyer. The doctor visited the man's office and saw a brilliant crimson carpet on the floor. A large painting, the prevailing tone of which was red, brought the home at the home he found red wall paper, red curtains and red furniture. "Red," said the doctor, "excites your temper and your wife's too. Try some other color. Put blue wall paper in the house and throw away every red piece of furniture you have." The husband obeyed the doctor's orders and since then there has been no trouble in that family. The woman who the old crusade over blue spectacles told her worried them once. They were told to hold a wonderful power to ease pain, toothache and other troubles. The principle was the same that is being used in Paris now, but the doctors of 30 years ago had not quite solved the secret of the effect of blue light on the human brain. They were going it blindly—just like the farmer who put green goggles on his cow and fed her shavings. But now evidence has found the real reason for the effect of red and blue on people's overworked minds. There's a quality in the red and blue rays that doctors call an actinic quality. When you look at anything bright red, the red rays of light quicker than the mind can conceive, travel to the How Colors Affect the Eye. sight cells of your brain, tingling the hairline nerves on their way there. When you look at anything blue the same thing happens, only the nerve wire to your brain is a different nerve wire; for different colors tingle different nerve wire lines, just like different telephones signal "central" over different wires. The red nerve lines pass through a part of the brain that contains what doctors call the cells of hate! The blue nerve lines go a certain distance on the red party nerve line, and then switch onto the sight cells through a part of the brain that contains a network of neurons. So with this in mind you can see the point made by the French doctor who says he can stop divorces, cure family jars, and make happy homes by changing red furniture and wall paper to blue. Only fifty years the men of science have known something about the colors' effect on the brain of mice. The love cells are just below the hate cells, and as far back as 30 years ago Prof. Fowler, the eminent reader of men's heads, called the place on the head where the love cells are the bump of Amativeness. Above this bump of amativeness is the bump of Hate, which ought to be less prominent on your head than the other bump. Prof. Frederick Starr, a present-day student of the heads of Indians and other strange peoples, found that the bump of hate was larger on an Indian's skull than on a white man's. Others believe that is why an Indian never forgets a grudge. The possibilities of treatment on family jars with colored rays are at most without limit, they say. Wives, especially, will be interested in the new discovery. Lots of evenings a man will come home and scold his wife, scold the nice supper she has cooked for him and find fault with everything. Perhaps it's a red carpet in the man's office, or a red curtain at home, or red wall paper, or a red-headed maid in the kitchen! Hereafter, instead of "painting the town red," a man will win honor if he paints it blue. The way to a man's heart after all may be through a blue glass window, or a blue silk dress, rather than through his stomach. In this marvelous discovery science has again shown one of her most wonful truths—that it is the little things that cause trouble in the world. The first post route in the United States was established in 1672. It was between New York and Boston and the schedule was once a month. Today the yearly cost of mail transportation alone is about $45,000,000. The railway lines cover 208,484 miles and employ over 15,000 officers and clerks.

Legler of Milwaukee Assumes New Position at Salary of $6,000 Annually. Chicago.—Freer use of books and better facilities for getting them are two of the reforms which book lovers may expect to follow shortly upon the advent of Henry E. Legler, who has enclosed upon his new duties as public librarian of Chicago. The former Wisconsin newspaperman, who is the administrative head of Chicago's public library, lost no time in going to work to earn the $6,000 salary the board voted him. Arriving in Chicago on an early morning train from his home in Milwaukee, Librarian Legler hurried at once to the beautiful building on Michigan avenue which is to be his workshop and began at once to knuckle down to his task. The new librarian consented to outline his plans only after expressly Henry E. Legler, providing that nothing he should say might be construed as criticism of his predecessor. "The principal aim of a librarian is to get the books under his charge into the hands of the people who want them with the greatest degree of facility commensurate with proper preservation of the books themselves," declared Librarian Legler. "As rapidly as the finances will allow I believe in extending the free-delivery stations. The number of branch libraries ought also to be increased. Free home delivery has been tried in a few cities, but it is not yet necessary for Chicago and does not compare other and more urgent needs for a manager Chicago has to depend on its public library. With the help of the school officials it is our hope that the circulation of books in the juvenile department may be increased to a great extent. "More liberal privileges, it would seem to me, may be extended to card holders. Elsewhere it is not an unusual custom for patrons of public libraries to be allowed the right of taking out two or three, or even more, cards. I am not providing they do not attend to organize books for which there appears to be widespread demand. Here, I am told, the holder of a card may take out only one book at a time. I think that system may be changed with due regard to the convenience of all concerned. "The general trend everywhere also appears to be toward increasing the freedom of admission to book stacks. However, I want to make it clear that the system we recommend will be only after obtaining the consent of the trustees." Recently Mr. Legler refused an offer to take charge of the St. Louis public library and he also refused an offer to become New York state librarian. He was for many years a newspaper reporter, then became sec. school board and for five years has been the head of Wisconsin's state library commission, which handles hundreds of traveling libraries.

Daring robberies in the village are responsible for the One of the Police Dogs. addition of the dogs to the force and it is a noticeable fact that since the two dogs, "Nick Carter" and "Jessie James" have been on the force that hold-up men and burglaries have not been so busy. The dogs are trained to follow a trail over any kind of a road, whether it be an oiled thoroughfare or a common country road. H. G. Strumpfer of Hammond, Ind., is the owner of "Nick" and Josee." He says they will rid Oak Park of crooks. Old policemen, however, are skeptical. $2.40 PER YEAR THIS QUEEN WORKS How Paris Chooses a Fete Sovereign Each Year. Mlle. Luclenne Joly, a Hard-Working Seamstress Was Queen of the French Capital's Autumn Feast This Year. Paris—Although France is now a republic for the third time, her people still seem to hanker after royalty and their task in the direction of queens. They can't have a regular queen, of course, so they must be contented with queens of a lower degree, who are chosen in various trades and various parts of France with all due ceremony. From time immemorial the tradespeople of Paris have celebrated each carnival by electing a queen from among the work people, whose chief merit is unusual beauty, the pride of both being quite an unimportant factor. The vegetable women select their queen, the grocers theirs, the fisherman makes its choice and so on. Then these several chosen queens are brought together for an appointed committee to pass judgment on them. The queen receiving the largest number of votes is raised to the highest honor and her title is—Queen of the Queens. It is a strange fact that for several years, with one exception, the market has furnished the Queen of Queens for this joyous fete. This year the businessmen of Paris inaugurated a Fete Sovereign (autumn feast), and October 2 and 3 were chosen as the days for the celebration. A very ceremonious meeting was held in the chamber of marriages at the city hall at which the delegates of Mile, Lucienne Joly, the various business associations assembled a few days ago for the difficult undertaking of electing an ephemeral sovereign to preside over this fete. The delegates on arriving at the hall found 15 beauties sitting in state awaiting the decision of the judges. The idle, butterfly type was not represented, for the young woman who was to attain the supreme dignity of queen had to be taken from the ranks of the business women. After a moment's contemplation the president of the committee, M. Chalanson, arose and in carefully selected words set forth the ideas which first inspired the business men to bring in existence this autumn feast. The delegates were then asked to vote for the president, the situation was most embarrassing. The situation was most embarrassing. The proverbial with the Frenchman and to his chivalrous mind it was almost treason to select one to the discredit of the other candidates. A choice had to be made, however. Above each candidate was a number and each delegate simply wrote the number of his preference on the slip provided for him and dropped it into a box. The first count showed that the delegates applauded and no one of the candidates had voted. This necessitated another ballot. A signal was given to the brass band in attendance, and in a twinkling it was thrilling the assembled people with one of the most exciting popular alms. The music gave courage to the timid and faltering judges, so that it was only a question of few minutes before the vote was cast and counted. This formality of announcement the result and proclaimed the candidate to be Mile. Lucienne Joly, queen of the dressmakers, a Juno-like brunette who had received 41 votes, thus making her Queen of the Autumn Feast. Blushing with pleasure and greatly agitated, the reigning sovereign thanked the assembly for the honor conferred on her, and the committee then escorted her and her 14 mails of documents where the chosen one was congratulated demonstratively by her relatives and companions. Unquestionable Probity A housewife who had met with unpleasant experiences through a dishonest servant took the precaution before filling the vacancy, to write to the employer for explicit information as to the grieving honesty: "I believe Mollie to be thorough eat," came the prompt really. "I certainly never knew her to take anything, not even my orders. She didn't even take palms." Perhaps it is no disgrace to be a kicker if the other fellow needs one. AVE YOU READ THE APPEAL?

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1909. THE TITANIC STRUGGLE AGAINST WHITE SUPREMACY Among the most interesting literature to be found in the great dailies are the letters of such globe-trotters as Mr. Frederick J. Haskin, who is gathering much important information as to doings all over the world. In a recent letter Mr. Haskin says: "In 1908, last year, the immigration into the Amur, according to official Russian figures, was more than 600,000, and the total for this year is expected to be 750,000. This means that in less than four years Russia has placed almost 2,000,000 settlers in these undeveloped provinces, and the work is proceeding at such a rate that ten years will find 5,000,000 Russians domiciled here. That means that Russia will do in ten years more than England has done in Australia in a [Picture of a man in a suit with a bow tie and a mustache. The background is black.] [The text is not clearly visible in the image. It appears to be a title or heading.] century in the matter of building up population." The interpretation which Mr. Haskin places upon the above is as follows: "In this triangular fight for the control of Manchuria, this great empire of the future, China has the right and Russia and Japan have the might. A greater Japan, a Japan the captain of Asia leading the titanic struggle against white supremacy on earth, means the doom of Russian dreams." played admirably in beverages as "near 'beersette,' "whiski 'ginno,' "ginnette," "winklink." One arguments assigned laws was that they order to keep whis Afro-Americans. But loks like some of them need a little legal Negro invented cootions and names This "titanic struggle against white supremacy" is going on all over the world. The white man has, heretofore maintained his supremacy by his superior intelligence and organization; but the Aslatic nations are rapidly approximating to his standard. Japan has an army and navy at least equal to those of many of the white nations and as capable officers and statesmen as any of them. The future is full of promise for Aslatic races. THE TWO PRESIDENTS President Taft and President Diaz had their long-expected interview and the thing passed off without any unpleasant results, and, we presume, to the satisfaction of the persons chiefly concerned. As President Diaz is not a pure white man, but a mixture of Caucasian and Indian, we shall not be surprised if some of the Dixie journals should find some grounds for criticism respecting the matter, but we hope that none of them will become so excited as to fly to evils they know not of. It may not be so bad a thing, after all, for white and non-white to occasionally meet upon terms of absolute equality. Who knows? The Chung Sal Yat Po, our esteemed Chinese contemporary of San Francisco, is setting a fine example for the other journals of that city. The editor says: "Anything immoral or which savors of immorality does not appear either in our news columns or in our advertising. We will not accept the advertisements of fortune tellers or of any other persons who we believe are unreliable. We are opposed to gambling and lotteries of all kinds, and give them no mention of any kind in the paper." We hope the other journals will catch on. The ingenuity displayed down South in evading an obnoxious law is dis- 1930 [Picture of a man in a suit with a tie]. HON. FRANK H. HITCHCOCK, Postmaster General of the United States. played admirably in the sale of such beverages as "near-beer," "beerine," "beersette," "whishine," "whiskyette," "glnno," "glnette," "hoploo" and "winkablink." One of the great arguments assigned for the prohibitory laws was that they were necessary in order to keep whisky away from the Afro-Americans. But the foregoing loks like some of the white brethren need a little legal restraint, for no Negro invented all those queer concoctions and names. The divinity that doth hedge a king has been so much frazzled since Shakespeare's time that nearly every nation has a great many subjects who are very tired of their majesties and would willingly trade them off for an equal number of yellow pups. The sultan of Turkey has been lately deposed and now comes King George of Greece, whose subjects seem much inclined to toss him overboard. Should this occur, however, his brother-in-law, Edward VII. of England, will probably keep him out of the poor house. Miss Charlotte Mansfield, the white English novelist, recently made the Cape-to-Cairo trip in Africa in 218 days, a journey of 16,728 miles. She was entirely without white companions, and was entirely dependent for services upon the "black brutes." Of the character of those "brutes," Miss Mansfield speaks very highly. It seems to THE APPEAL that the incident ought to be very suggestive to the white women of the United States, especially those of the South. Chicago is all torn up on two points, namely, the Loop and the "white slave" trade. The "levee districts" of the city have won a name as most abominable localities, and the trouble is that the disreputable houses are owned by good citizens—pillars of the church and leaders in society. For instance, one of these owners, a Jew, was until recently president of one of the largest Jewish congregations in the city. Chicago has taken the right steps in going after the man higher up. Governor Wilson of Kentucky now advises the Kentuckians to shoot the night riders, which may be the best thing he can do under the circumstances, but it does not give a very high idea of the civilization of the state. 1920 ```markdown ``` SMILES BRAVE GIRL. "Saved!" I cried the beautiful girl in triumph. "Saved!" The old gentleman in the easy chair dropped his paper in astonishment. "Who is saved, my daughter?" he interrogated, with alarm. "The whole city. My name shall go down to posterity as a heroine." Still the old gentleman was visibly perplexed. "But, my dear, I haven't heard of any great conflagrations or earthquakes. In what way was the city in danger?" It was then that the beautiful girl came over and sat down on the arm of his chair. "Listen, father, and you shall hear.

A young Baltimore man, who is quick to see a point and somewhat of a wit himself, walked into a shop the other day and asked for a comb. "Do you want a narrow man's comb?" asked the attendant, all unconscious of his terms. "No," said the customer, gravely; "I want a comb for a stout man with rubber teeth." Just Possible. "I was born and raised on this farm, said the stranger, "but I have n't set foot on it for 20 years. It certainly has run down a good deal since then." "Mebby it has," rejoined the old farmer, "but I reckon it'd run down a heap sight worse if yew had stayed on it." In the Air. "Where's Willie?" "Up in the attic building a mono plane." "And where's George?" "He's in the cellar making a bi plane." "And where's Henry?" "?He's in bed. He tumbled from the roof of the garage in his aeroplane." More Comfort Then "Why do you always postpone your vacations until fall instead of going during the summer?" "It's easier in the fall. I don't have to fight my way into the dining room or get up before daylight in order to get a chair on the porch." A Chance for Him. "I don't know what to do with my son, there seems to be so few opportunities for him. There is no place for a man who is needed and yet has no friends." "I don't know. Why not make him a baseball umpire." Two of a Kind. "This," said the senior member of the law firm, "is another case of Greek meeting Greek." "How's that?" queried the junior member. "One affinity is suing another affinity," replied the other. A CONFESSION. HAIRCUT 42 Barber—Why, your face is all carved up! What mutton-headed idiot shaved you last? It's the Price. It is not looks that make the styles That fill the fashion books; The sunbonnet has got the peach- Basket plum' for look, for looks. His Difficulty. "Jinks seems to be having a hard pull to get along." "His hard pull is just the reason he can't get on." Steep. Indeed. Gunner—The milliners have named a new fall hat the "Cook hat." They are going to be two feet high." Guyer—H'm that's nothing like as high as the prices. Hardly That Kind. "Pop, tell me one thing." "Yes, my son." "When they want pets on board of ships, do they take old sea dogs?" Same Old Story "Don't you believe," queried the fair advocate of woman's rights, "that men live faster than women?" "I sure do," replied the mere man. "I was just ten months older than my wife when we married; now I am 42 and she was 30 last week." The Way to Look "Don't you think this natural gas proposal is a matter for weighty consideration?" "Well, I should call it more of a light issue." ```markdown ``` An unsectarian Christian Institution, devoted especially to advanced admi- nation College, Normal College Preparatory and English High School courses, with industrial Training, support training, Articulation, Articulation and Printing.

HONOR TO WHOM HONOR IS DUE "Tis said that "a prophet is not without honor save in his own country and among his own people," but such seems not to be the case with Rev. W. D. Carter, the good citizen and Christian gentleman who is at present pastor of Pilgrim Baptist church, but who has tendered his resignation to take effect Oct. 31. He does not intend to remove his residence from St. Paul, but he has entered a new field as Financial Secretary of Western College and Industrial Institute of Macon, Mo. During the years that he has lived in St. Paul he has done good work and has proven himself to be a very worthy citizen and as evidence of this a number of the men of the city who determined to give some public demonstration got together and decided to tender him a Testimonial Banquet. These gentlemen have selected a committee of one hundred, of whom they had good reason to believe held the same opinions as themselves. Of course, all of the friends of Rev. Carter are not included in that paltry one hundred and perhaps many of his warmest friends have been inadvertently overlooked, but those whose names are not in the list will understand that no slight is intended. However, all who desire to show their appreciation in a substantial way are invited to come and take part in the banquet, which is to be given at Pilgrim Baptist church on the evening of Monday, Nov. 8, at 8:30 o'clock. The tickets for the banquet have been provided in sufficient number of cents, which places them within the reach of all, and the only fear is that the capacity of the assembly room of the church will be insufficient to accommodate all who will wish to avail themselves, of the opportunity. As only a limited number of tickets can be sold, it behooves them who desire to make sure to purchase them at once, when offered by the members of the committee in whose hands they have been placed. The first plan that was originated had in contemplation the giving of a testimonial meeting in the auditorium of the church with music and speeches, etc., and a number of ladies were invited to act as patronesses, cards having been sent to them. The change in the plan precludes the necessity for patronesses, and the ladies received the cards and sent in cards of acceptance will constitute the Ladies' Reception Committee. These who will attend the banquet will assemble in the auditorium of the church, where an informal reception will be held, and when the proper time has arrived all will march into the assembly room. The indications are that this will be the largest and most representative of its character ever held in the Two Cities. The Testimonial Committee is as follows: Testimonial Committee. J. H.

A great rally is on in St. James church known as the Carnival of the States. Instead of assigning the members to clubs as before, each member will give his or her rally money in the name of the state in which they were born. There will be governors and their staffs, on rally day, the second Sunday in November, the roll of the states will be called and each one will give under the name of his state. ONE DOLLARS IN JUST THIRTY DAYS is the watchword to send down the line through St. James church. Watch for the names of the governors and their staffs next week. Don't be ashamed of your state. See the committee that represents the state in which you were born, and give five dollars in the great rally. If you can't give five, give what you can. If you can give more than five, do so, and boost your state and help the church. Cards are out, punch cards, calling for five dollars, take one and fill it. Anything the Matter With Your Stove? If there is anything the matter with your stove call on the St. Paul Stove Repair Works, 126 W. Seventh street.

Those who are interested in amusements will hear with interest that the spectacular and pantomimic comedy, Hanlon's "Superba," is underlined for an engagement at the Grand for the week starting Sunday matinee, Oct. 31. Since last seen here "Superba" has been entirely rehabilitated, augmented and improved, redressed with costly costumes and scenery and enlarged by the addition of various startling tricks. An entirely new cast, a singing and dancing chorus, many illusions and perhaps the greatest transformation ever presented in this spectacle, is promised. In addition to being the greatest and practically the only pantomimic spectacle touring the United States, "Superba" this season contains the added feature of musical comedy which is unusual in a Hanlon production. The new tricks include the beautiful human flower vase, the never failing aeplane, the useful man, the Maypole festival, the jungle with its lions, gorillas, elephants, tigers, monkeys and other denizens of the wild African forests, and there is a "Coacount Dance," a wild West African ceremony that is performed once each year by the Hobong tribes. There is also the Fairy farm yard, the accommodating cow and house-moving pig, the magic mirrors and the thrilling leap of horse and rider over the "Chasm of Death."
