BUMPER
HIS year's big and record yield of wheat, corn and other staples has been heralded far and wide. But there is
another harvest that has been growing and ripening all unnoticed by government statisticians and by everybody else, and that is the bumper crop of new millionaires and multi-millionaires. Never before were there so many in New York as there are today, and that is a night by the great wave of consolidation and the merging of hundreds of industrial enterprises that was the feature of the opening years of the twentieth century, just after the close of the Spanish-American war. There were steel kings, steamship kings, pump kings, kings of car springs and of air brakes and of all sorts of things. They blossom forth between the two sides of the next. The select circle of pluracy widened so swiftly that it broke all barriers and created a new aristocracy of wealth in America. New York was invaded by a horde of westerners whose manners in some cases shocked even the imperturbable servitors at the expensive hotels where they monopolized the royal rites. Pittsburgh, from being simply a city of industrial workers, jumped into world-wide prominence because it was discovered suddenly that it had more millionaires to the square inch than any other spot on earth. In New York all sorts of people achieved fortunes, paper or actual, almost before they were aware; jockeys, waiters, bartenders and other humble folk glanced with amaze at the balances with their hands, yachts and country houses. The history of this period was one of the wonders of America. Then, two years ago, the panic came and put a damper on the
financial hopes and aspirations of those who had survived the various ills that followed in the wake of industrial over-expansion. But since the panic clouds have cleared away there has come another and even more wonderful appreciation in values, the most remarkable advance in the prices of all commodities and securities that this country has ever known. Probably more millionaires have been made in the last 12 months by the steadily rising tide of tremendous prosperity than history ever has recorded in a similar period of time. The increase in global GDP growth is greater, probably than it was in the time of merger and consolidation, nearly a decade ago. Before the panic of 1907 there were, perhaps, 300 millionaires in New York. Now there are anywhere between 5,000 and 10,000.
financial hopes and aspirations of those who had survived the various ills that followed in the wake of industrial over-expansion. But since the panic clouds have cleared away there has come another and even more wonderful appreciation in values, the most remarkable advance in the prices of all commodities and securities that this country has ever known. Probably more millionaires have been made in the last 12 months by the steadily rising tide of tremendous prosperity than history ever had. The number of those who have grown rich quickly is greater, probably than it was in the time of merger and consolidation, nearly a decade ago. Before the panic of 1907 there were, perhaps, 3,000 millionaires in New York. Now there are anywhere between 5,000 and 10,000.
The advances in the value of securities in the last two years have been almost incredible. There probably are more than 100,000 persons who are stockholders of United States Steel. In October, 1907, Steel Common was $21%; in February, 1909, it was $41%; this October it has been well above 90. The shares of the Pennsylvania railroad are more widely distributed than any other transportation line, more than 60,000 people being listed on its books of shareholders. Two years ago it was 103; lately it has been above 150. Union Pacific is next to Pennsylvania in the length of its stockholders' list. It is not only one of the most popular investment list, but that is speculated to be most largely. Union Pacific monad in 1907; this year it has been above an increase of more than 100 per cent. New York Central, Southern Pacific, Baltimore & Ohio, Atlantic Coast Line, Illinois Central, Great Northern, Standard Oil—practically all the stocks in the long list of railways and industrials have advanced from 50 to 100 or more per cent. in value since October, 1907.
Thousands of people who are not speculators and who are intolerant of speculation have profited enormously by this wonderful rise in prices. They are the ones who bought for investment when the prices were low and who are now reaping the harvest. During the panic enormous blocks of gilt-edge shares were thrown on the markets when great speculators like Helnze and Morse, and some others who were not so spectacular or daring, had to sacrifice anything and everything for ready money. Their holdings now are scattered throughout the country and have been tucked away in tens of thousands of safes and strong boxes.
While some of the new millionaires come from the ranks of those who were bargain hunters in the days of panic, most of the new plutocrats are from the army of speculators.
There are so many of these new millionaires that it would be impossible to list them all indi-

cotton. There are more new cotton kings and princes to-day than ever before. Practically all of these are southerners, who have had an expert knowledge of this staple. Most of them have been cotton planters themselves on a large scale, and all their lives they have been studying cotton, its growth and its even more important life. Almost all day there have been rumors飞 about as to what Patten was doing in cotton. But curiously enough there has been never a word said about the real bull leader in the cotton market, the man who has been the biggest speculator in this staple, and who recently has jumped into the multi-millionaire class, Eugene G. Scales of Dallas, Tex. Scales is the most towering bull, probably, that the cotton market ever has known. Patten is a piker beside him. Even the celebrated Mr. Sully in his palmest days never operated on such a huge basis as Scales has been in the last eight months. And mighty multi-millionaire in the cotton market has steadfastly kept himself in the background. He is no amateur speculator, however, for five years ago he was in one of the Sully campaigns and retired from the fight with several large dents in his financial arm. But now he has won back all his losses and a lot more.
Some among the many others who "know cotton" and have won big fortunes through its rise in price are Fergus Reid of Norfolk, M. Morris H. Rothschild of woodville, Miss. William P. Brown of New Orleans and Louis S. Berg of Mississippi. Berg had charge of the Chamatte terminal at low Orleans not long ago and was a hardworking man. He worked together of small Mississippi railroads and them into an effective and profitable system. Then, with a modest fortune, he came to New York, and since then has been making money out of cotton.
And so the list runs on. Hardly a name among the thousands of new millionaires is familiar to New Yorkers. They are practically unknown outside of the small communities they came from in the west and south. They live in the coolest suites in the most expensive New York hotels. Next they have no set budget they will begin leasing or buying a New York hotel or other places where the socially elected supposed to live. Then they will begin trying to break through the imaginary inclusion with which "society" surrounds itself. There are so many of these new millionaires that perhaps like the incursion of a new race they will overwhelm and conquer the relatively small group of people who have been priding themselves on having their wealth for a decade or more. At any rate, the names of most of these new millionaires probably will be read for the next year's books of social registry, which form the most approach to the directory of the peerage that the plutocracy of America knows.

vidually with any degree of accuracy. Comparatively few of the old band of millionaires have failed to add materially to their fortunes since the panic. There are some, it is true, who were more or less disabled in those days, and the period that predeced them who have not succeeded in winning back their lost money and prestige; others of the insurance crowd, and so on. But those who held on and were able to weather the storms in life, and now are richer than ever. Not only that, but a large number of new groups of great financial strength has been developed. There is the Hawley group, for instance, which has made millions and millions in the rise in values of railway shares. Edwin Hawley, the head of this coterie, was not a big Wall street figure until wilflin the last year or so, but of late he has added immeasurably to his wealth and to his power as a transportation king.
Among those of his friends who have climbed into the charlot of the plutocrats is Frank A. Vanderlip, the president of the National City bank. He is repulsed to have made more than a million out of Chesapeake & Ohio and Union Pacific. When he was assistant secretary of the treasury agency, age 71, he made a number of very moderate means and lived in a modest little flat in Washington. After he came to New York his wealth increased somewhat, but only since the first of this year has he entered the millionaire class.
Another of the Hawley group who is one of the new crop of multi-millionaires is a banker named Scott, who plied up a small fortune, dollar by dollar, in Richmond, Va., and who has increased it many fold of late in Wall street. Still another of the same group is Robert Fleming. He was not a poor man when the rise in stocks began, but he is a new crop of Union Pacific millionaires, Southern Pacific millionaires, Wabash, Rock Island and many other groups of new millionaires who have become wealthy by the tremendous upturn of the shares they were interested in. Some of these men were millionaires before the beginning of this year; these have now moved up to the multi-millionaire class.
There are quite as many who have won fortunes in the field of industrial stocks, especially in United States Steel common. One of these—more than a millionaire when he began buying Steel—is Frank A. Munsey, the publisher. He is said to have sold 100,000 shares when the stock was around 23, and to have accumulated a total of 100,000 shares at very low prices. His winships are estimated at more than $5,000,000.
These instances, taken at random, give an indication of the thousands of fortunes that have

sprung up lately through the upward sweep of prices in Wall street. Great corporations, like the fire and the life insurance companies, have also profited stupendously. These tremendous reservoirs of money own huge blocks of shares in scores of railway and automotive companies from 1000 shared to almost a controlling interest. The most of these are sober, gilt-edged, dividend-paying stocks that have not been spectacular in their advance in price as compared with some of those that have gone up like skyrockets. Yet even these high-priced shares have been enhanced in value from 20 to 50 per cent, in the last 12 months, in prices, so the published records of these companies show, and these institutions now are said to be selling them off, cautiously and carefully at the fancy figures that have been prevailing of late. Unlike the individual investor, they believe in cashing in their winnings and salting them down until there is another chance to buy the commodities there are new groups of millionaires and multimillionaires also. Some of these have won their wealth in wheat, others in corn, but most of them in

Actress Says Good Looks Are Asset In Business and Scouts Idea That Ugly Women Are Most Useful.
Philadelphia.—"This is the -age of beauty in the business world," says Hattie Williams, the star of "Detective Sparkes," now playing at the Garrick theater.
"Mark me, I do not mean the beautiful age, but the age of beauty. We have come to the time when a sweet, a playful but touching face is quite important in business as price or quality of wares, convenience of mart or effective advertising.
"Woman—good-looking woman—has at last found a sphere of honest endeavor that cannot but appeal to her—the legitimate exploitation of the goods she is paid to show off. Paris led the way in this new field of endeavor and Philadelphia has rapidly fallen into line.
She is the French capital I know of no city where the faith of its daughters is so effectively used for honest business purposes.
"Let me explain. Let us walk down Chestnut street. We drift along with the stream of shoppers until that stream becomes jammed in front of a big show window. There in the window sits a girl of surpassing fairness. Her beautifully shaped head, crowned with a wealth of glossy black hair, is over a new model sewing machine, we are intent on her work and we are intent on her picture she makes. It is probably a very useful-to-date sewing machine, but it could stay in that window for many weeks and not attract a crowd.
"The man whose business it is to sell that machine knows his business and knows it well. The combination of girl and machine is a pleasing one and the impression is lasting.
"Further down the street there is a shop with big windows, through which we see heaps of confections, and we

can see, too, a dainty blonde miss or exquisite feature and coloring who seems to have little in the world to do except to sit just where the passing throngs can get glimpse of her fresh loveliness. Why is that store crowded with customers while another confectionery shop further down the street languishes for want of trade? The sweets in the one shop may be no better than those in the other, but the attractiveness of the blonde saleswoman furnishes the one thing needful in business—the initiative.
"In these days of greatest competition among merchants, it was a clever man indeed who first realized the tremendous attraction of a pretty woman's face for shopmers, women as well as men. For, don't for a moment think that the potency of these fair young women is felt only by the opposite sex.
"Bertha, the Beautiful Sewing Machine Girl', can go on hiding her beauty in the dusty factory, where it comes all, she has had a hard time of it, but her beauty is really so beautiful she can be hard-pressed by giving legitimate public prosperity by giving legitimate charms. And that's what many Berthas are doing to-day in Philadelphia, and it's a good thing all around. It won't spoil Bertha if she's the right sort of girl, and won't hurt the shopping public to look upon bright, pretty faces."
Phosphorescent Forests
The phosphorescence of certain agaries of Borneo has more than once demoralized the superstitious natives and astonished whites. Some years ago a party of English engineers found it necessary to survey a tract of low lying country which was almost impenetrable, and to blaze the trail natives were employed to work there during the day. The former came to the light night stating that they could not go through a portion of the bush or forest, strIPS on the trees telling them that evil would befall them if they continued. The "spirits" proved to be a magnificent display of phosphorescence emanating from agaries growing upon the dead limbs of the trees. These vegetable fire bodies were traced for a considerable distance, and the light is remarkable exhibition, the light in some cases being so brilliant that it was difficult to believe that the forest was not afire. To test the brilliancy the men held papers near the most brilliant protons and read by the light.

Victor Murdock Predicts Trouble for Man Who Serves Notice on "Uncle Joe."
Kansas City, Mo.-Some one in the next session of congress is going to have a mighty unhappy ten seconds in the company of Speaker Cannon. Men who reviewed the future here believed that about ten seconds would do, and they were equally certain that the particular visit to the sacred chamber would be made by some one; especially certain was Victor Murdock of the Seventh Kansas congressional district.

eight months. The satraps of the Cannon machine will hold a meeting and pick some man to go to Cannon and tell him that for the safety of the system he must announce immediately his retirement.
"The domination of Cannon over his lieutenants is such that any one of them would rather meet death than to face the speaker on this proposition, because Cannon has no intention of retiring, and will not take kindly to the suggestion, and will not take impossible, and his lieutenants know it, fear that if he continues as a factor he will carry the system down with him.
"They know that for their own good the system must be saved. They are guarding three propositions.
"The first is the right in the speechship of inquisitorial recognition. The second, the power which the system will do everything to preserve, even to eliminating the present speaker, is the appointment of committees, under which, as is well known, a part of the house control hinges.
"The third factor of control which the machine will try to preserve is the membership of the speaker on the committee on rules.
"The condemnation of Cannon can no longer be identified as sectional. I am in receipt of letters from nearly every section of the country, official and private alike, and all the same tale of a widespread determination to be power of this man.
"Cannon may not know that he is gone, probably does not, but his lieutenants know it, and from this time on their whole endeavor will be to save the system and transmit, unimpaired, its machinery to another personality."
STAMPS FOR THE RED CROSS
Sixty Millions of Christmas "Stickers" to Be Sold to Aid Tuberculosis War.
Washington.—Thirty million 1908 Merry Christmas stamps have been ordered by the American Red Cross society to be sold to raise funds for the war on tuberculosis. Thirty million more stamps will be ordered later by December 15. It is expected that these 60,000,000 bullets will be fired in the national battle against the White Plague.

The 1908 stamp sale netted the society $140,000, all of which was used in the fight against the tubercular bacillus. The stamps are sold to Christmas shoppers who in their turn put them on all the packages and Christmas greetings which they send to their friends and relatives.

Law Recently Enacted in Nevada Makes the City Mecca for Those Who Would Cure Marital Woes.
Reno, Nev.—A popular song of the summer has been changed to fill a new want and now reads:

Hooray; hooray!
It is stated officially that upward of six hundred persons have established a residence in this city and have either filed divorce proceedings or will do so as soon as they have been six months. Every train brings new applicants, and every part of the United States is already represented by those who have found marriage a failure.
The new Nevada divorce law is, perhaps, the most elastic ever entered on the statutes of any state. It was enacted by the legislature to attract immigration and money to the state in the popular belief that every new arrival would make more or less of an investment in the vast mining and other industries of Nevada. The plaintiff must reside in the state for at least six months. He or she need not live there continuously, but may leave the city at any time, returning and suit when six months have passed after legally establishing a domicile.
Here is what a Reno divorce specialist says in a treatise on the procedure required: "While the laws in other states generally contain some provision for the dissolution of the marriage tie, it is obvious that in cases where extreme cruelty, desertion and failure to provide form the basis of the grievance, the laws in such states offer no substantial relief to the aggrieved party because the requirements of proof, duration of offense,

corroboration of the plaintiff and procedure under court rules are so exacting and irksome that the desired relief sought by the applicant is rendered impossible of attainment, and the client, when consulting local counsel, is almost invariably advised that he has no remedy. In Nevada the applicant, without deception or fraud, upon almost any charge from which lack reasonably inferred,ations may be reasonably inferred,ations may be courts and secure prompt results by decree of absolute divorce, valid and binding in law." Upon the passage of the new law Nevada promptly succeeded to the easy divorce crown that formerly characterized South Dakota, the people of which state one year ago made its requirements harder and the time of required residence one year. It needed only the filing of suits there by such well-known persons as Nat Goodwin, Margaret Millington (Mrs. Daniel Frohman) and others of stage circles, to cause a stampede in that dissenting, to cause a stampede in that dissenting, many of whom married at leisure and repented in haste.
Reno is a city of 18,000 population, acting as a supply center to the vast mining areas of Nevada, and being the site of the State University, the Mackay School of Mines, a big Carnegie library and other institutions. It is known as the city of the finest churches and homes in the state. It has every modern equipment in the way of paved streets, traction service, waterworks, lighting, etc. Not only is it a center of intellectual attainment in wealth, but it scenic note. Intersecting it is Nevada's most beautiful mountain stream, the Truckee river, on which the government is spending millions, and surrounding it is the richest agricultural land of that region. With all these and other advantages Reno immediately grabbed the larger part of the divorce industry.
Noted Old Tavern Still Standing.
The old Whitney tavern in Shelbyville, Tenn., erected in 1810, is still in a good state of preservation. It is built of cedar logs, which are chinked and pointed between, and with the exception of the renewing of the weatherboard walls it has no change. The large stone chimneys, with their broad firestone are still in as perfect condition as when Gen. Jackson and other noted personages were entertained there. Later it was occupied as a residence by Thomas Holland. In the days of overland travel commodious stables were kept in connection for the purpose of taking care of the horses and vehicles of the guests, also. In the early 19th century ran between Nashville and southern points in Alabama and Mississippi—Christian Science Monitor.

SELF-ELEVATION.
The New York Times claims that Negroes are lacking in capacity for self-elevation, and cites Hayti, Liberia and the Southern black belts as illustrations of the correctness of its opinion. Now, we do not know that there is really any such thing in existence as self-elevation—the wisest man has been made such by the co-operation of thousands of other people as well as by other things, but the South affords thousands of instances of Afro-Americans who have risen very greatly above the general level of the black belts. The Afro-American has become the owner of a vast amount of property in the South. He owns farms, dwellings, books, planes, automobiles; he conducts banks, insurance companies and newspapers; he practices law.

Tuesday William J. Moxley was elected to Congress from the Sixth Illinois Congressional District to fill the unexpired term of Hon. William Lorimer, who was elected to the United States Senate.

The paintings of Tanner are "honored" by the Paris Salon and several purchased by the French government; the musical compositions of Coleridge Taylor are much in vogue in the best society; and the Filipino band, trained and led by an Afro-American, recently entertained the elite of the capital of the United States. It seems to THE APPEAL that the persons mentioned are not lacking in capacity for self-elevation. But looking at conditions in various countries what do we see? What is the condition of the Jews in Russia—the Armenians in Turkey—the Irish in Great Britain—the Poles in their own land? Very much like that of the Afro-American in Mississippi, is it not?
It is very easy to deduce the conclusion that the nation most advanced in civilization, which the most rapid-fire guns and Dreadnaughts can so arrange matters that his less civilized neighbor shall be incapable of self-elevation.
A REVEREND FLUNKEY
Scoring the mal-address of the carpetbaggers and the biased tendencies of Northern teachers under whom Southern Negroes have been wrongly educated, Prof. John Wesley Gilbert of Augusta, Ga., implored the Arkansas Southern Methodist conference, which is in session at Morilton, Ark., to aid him in correcting these evils. Prof. Gilbert is a Negro, and is connected with Payne College in his home city. He said that the teachers sent down from the North know nothing of the real need of his race, and, that as a result, a false perspective was given his people and a misconception of their place in the body politic.—Associated Press Dispatch.
The Revereded Gilbert's meaning is, of course, simply that Northern teach

ers inspired in the Afro-American a spirit of manhood which led him to aspire to higher and better things.
This unfortunate tendency Rev. Gilbert is laboring to reform and to make the Afro-American perfectly resigned to become simply a hewer of wood and a drawer of water for the Causians.
Rev. Gilbert would make the Afro-American more humble than Uriah Heap, just as he was in the times of slavery, perfectly willing to accept the white man as massa.
THE APPEAL is fearful that this attempt to Rev. Gilbert to reform the race is a little too late to effect that purpose.
Senator Stone seems to be laboring along the same line of policy by swaiting the waiter who is not sufficiently expeditioned in bringing his steak. He sees in the dilatory movements of the waiter, the awful effects of the teachings of Northern white teachers, abolitionists and rapetbaggers.
Those eminent statesmen, Tilliman and Vardaman have already called the attention of the country to the same subject. In the opinion of THE APPEAL, Rev. (?) Gilbert is a flunkey who deserves the contempt of every self-respecting Afro-American.

Ex-Senator Money of Mississippi recently said: "No man is disfranchised by the constitution of Mississippi, but a majority of the Negroes have disfranchised themselves through their failure to meet the requirement that all taxes must be paid two years previous to registration."
It is doubtless a fact that a great many of the Afro-Americans of Mississippi have not the intelligence necessary to know the value of the right of suffrage and it is not surprising that they disfranchise themselves. The white brother, however, in more enlightened communities than Mississippi often does the same thing and

will not take the trouble to go to the polls, except under the impulse of great excitement. For instance, the present deplorable condition of things in Chicago has been brought about in great part by thousands of good citizens disfranchising themselves.
DR. ELIOT'S NEW BELIGION
Dr. Elliot's "new religion" is nothing new, being simply the old blatant infidelity of Celius and Porphyry, Voltaire, Rousseau and Tom Payne. It may be summed up thus: No heaven, no hell, no miracles, no saints, no prayer, no immortality, no divinity of Christ, no God's image in man, no value in the sacraments, no nothing.
The Doctor says that his new religion will have nothing supernatural about it, but a child can see that it is supernatural nonsensical.
The Doctor is a most pronounced infidel and shows upon every occasion; for instance, when he recommends Byron's Manifred and Shelley's Beatrice CecNci, both of which are chock full of the most revolting immorality. They are both as unclean as Manor Lescault or Rousseau's Confessions Under a proper construction of the law, neither Manifred or Beatrice Ceci is transmissible through the malls
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 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." 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 Asiatic 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 Asiatic races.
Anent the subject of vagrancy in the South, the New Orleans Times-Democrat remarks:
"In Georgia a law was framed aimed at those Negroes, and apparently it reached them at first. All other Southern states followed in the footsteps of Georgia, and splendid results were promised from this legislation. It was expected to furnish a much more abundant supply of labor during the busy farm season of the year; to put an end to the drain of a large idle class, doing nothing and providing nothing and to reduce the depreduction and other petty crimes of the idle Negroes.
"But for some reason or other the law has never worked as it was expected to do, but has dropped into a state of desuetude. It is admitted by all that it is a good law and that it is constitutional; it was built on practical lines, and has been tested and found fit."
If the Southern states will ever have the good sense to pass laws aimed at vagrants and loafers of all classes, they will, probably not fall into "a state of desuetude," but there will be a fair probability of their enforcement. A law aimed at "those Negroes" is a fraud upon its face and ought to fall.
The American Association of Dining Car Superintendents was recently in session in Chicago, and among its conclusions was one of great interest to the Afro-American. Among the prominent members was Superintendent of the Illinois Central, Mr. Dow, who declared: "The question of substituting women waiters for Afro-Americans had been taken up at former meetings of the association, but it was decided that women would be unable to do the work satisfactorily. The Lake Shore road and others employed white men instead of Afro-Americans, for a while, but all returned to the original system."
This may seem a very unimportant incident, but it is one of great significance, since it refers to the matter of gaining a living. It is the testimony of the railroads of the country to the established fact that in certain lines of industry, the Afro-American has no rival.
Afro-Americans, Japanese, Chinese, white women and Jews have long been among the tabooed classes, and if these were not enough to be segregated, now comes the city of Washington and strives to enroll that chivalrous bird the rooster among the undesirables. The complaint against the rooster is that he blows his trumpet too sonocrously and at untimely periods, thereby disturbing the repose of drowsy citizens. THE APPEAL is uncompromisingly upon the side of the rooster in this controversy just as it was on the side of the Jewish maidens who were tabooed by the "finishing schools" of that city. The rooster is an Asiatic by descent, and of course, has some Asiatic characteristics, but on the whole is a pretty decent sort of a fellow. THE APPEAL would not give one rooster for a regiment of Castellanes and Don Miguels.
The hookworm is monopolizing, at present, as much attention as the Cook-Peary and Jackson-Jeffries controversies. Some of the Southern brethren are quite indigent at Mr. Rockefeller for his donation to fight the monster, but then it doesn't take much to make them indignant, and nobody gets excited when the southern brethren get on a rampage. But if the danger from the worm is as gerat as is asserted by the medical

men and is a menace to the other parts of the country it must be fought no matter how much Dixie rages.
An exchange says:
"Perhaps one of the best evidences of good times is afforded by the diamond trade. The importation of diamonds during September is reported to have been greater than in any corresponding period in the history of the trade."
But people generally are much more interested in the price of butter than that of diamonds; so what they need is proof that forty cents a pound butter is an evidence of good times.
For an Afro-American to get justice from the courts of the South in any case in which he is opposed to a white man is the rarest of occurrences in that section. That the poor man and the rich one do not stand on the same footing before the courts is true all over the world, but in the South conditions are worse than anywhere else.
The scheme of the Virginia lily whites to gain political power by going back upon the Afro-American voters, like other best-laid plans, went decidedly agley and the state went the same old way.
Gov. Draper of Massachusetts can congratulate himself over the fact of his re-election, but the knowledge that his majority was cut from 60,000 to 8,000 will prevent him from feeling very jubilant.
The death of William T. Harris deprives the United States of a most distinguished and enlightened educator. As such Mr. Harris received great honor both at home and in Europe.

Your presence at the Third Annual Charity Entertainment and Ball will bring joy to the hearts of our orphans and old folks.
Neglected orphans and uncared-for aged furnish the characters whose overt acts drive terror to all our hearts when they result in such evidences of mob violence as the Atlanta riot and Springfield, Ill., Ohio, and Missouri riots. Protected, a good home, school and church furnished, and we may develop other Booker Washingtons who shall stand first in the hearts of the world as the apostles of the world, as the apostles of industry, thrift and real worth.
We beg you, help us to help them. The money is well spent. We get results. Twenty-seven people cared for cheaper than some folks can keep house. Organized charity.
EPITOME OF YEAR'S WORK.
A white lady, a good Christian worker, solicited funds to buy a cow. One friend gave a much-needed horse, another some chickens and pigeons. The old folks and children raised three acres of garden, friends furnished the seed. One good friend enlarged our barracks for the men and boys. Our branch of the needle work guild brought in 230 new garments. Two wealthy white boys keep two of our boys clothed. One boy gave a bobsled. A great number of people have given serviceable used clothing. Only a week ago one of our God-sent friends installed a hot water heating plant for us. In the near future we are to have a large building, according to present plans. It is to be complete in appointments for our services, and to cost $7,500. In return for all this we have promised that the colored people of Minnesota would show an interest in the institution by building the foundation. This institution is more than an old folk's home and orphanage. it is a community center. We have found adopted homes for

children, servants for our friends and work for the unemployed. We have found good boarding and rooming places for strangers and upon our advice some persons have commenced buying and building homes. We are making our institution necessary to the comfort and progress of Minnesota rather than a luxury, and we expect and urge all citizens, regardless of race, creed or color, to assist this worthy work.
We have told the good things except that a good lady successfully opened a miniature "Tag Day" for us. There is another side.
This is our regular early winter entertainment and ball to raise absolutely necessary funds to bread and meat for 27 hungry mouths.
The horse, the cow, the chickens must be fed. All must be kept warm. There's school books to buy, and my! how shoes are out! And our mortgage notes are coming due.
The date is Monday, Nov. 29, Hiawata Temple, Sixth and Wabasha. Open your heart and purse. God rewards.

Which Will be Seen at the Grand Next Week.
Although "Via Wireless," which will be the attraction at the Grand, starting with Sunday matinee, Nov. 25th, is a sensational spectacular drama, it tells a story that contains much human nature on the comedy, the romantic and the tragic side. There is a scene of genuine grace and fascination between the hero and heroine, who are deeply in love with each other, several episodes between the stenographer and the clerk, and most interesting incidents. But the spectacular and thrilling effects are the things that most attract and entertain the audience. The pictured communication by wireless telegraph between an ocean steamship, rolling and tossing and pitching in a cycloacid storm, and a yacht supposed to be wrecked upon a reef many miles away is intensely dramatic. The producer who is a wizard in designing mechanical effects has made this production with its many novel effects, one of the biggest successes that has been seen in years. This is the same production that was produced at the Liberty Theatre, New York. This is the first time at popular prices.
Dr. Adam Speed, chirpodist, has arrived in the city and has arranged with Messrs. Uley and Vass, of the Commercial Barber Shop, 94 E. 5th street, to receive patients there. He relieves corns, bunions, ingrowing nails and all afflictions of the feet without pain. He will call at residence or place of business without extra charge. Prices reasonable and work guaranteed. Office hours 9 to 11 a.m. Telephone Cedar 3330.

The atletic entertainment given under the auspices of the Afro-American Association at Wagner Hall last Wednesday night attracted quite a crowd of lovers of athletic sports and they enjoyed the occasion very much. The sports started off with an exhil-
bition of bag punching by Robert Hopkins; this was followed by an exhibition boxing bout by 'Grant Charleston and W. H. Gaston. The principal attraction as announced was the wrestling match between Theodore Peter, the champion light heavyweight of the Northwest, and Gus Risdan, the champion light heavyweight of St. Paul, but unfortunately both of these mat artists had been injured in recent contests and neither was fit to wrestle. Mr. Peter was present, however, and through his efforts Mert Webster and South Dakota Jack had been secured and they gave an excellent match in which Webster was the victor. Peter announced that he would agree to throw the four times within an hour before the club at any time selected after he fully recovers, and the bout will be duly announced.

"MISS NEW YORK, JR."
The Next Attraction at the Star Theatre.
"Miss New York, Jr." a burlesque attraction of unusual merit, will appear at the Star Theatre next week.
Dave Ferguson, John C. Hart and Abe Reynolds are fun-makers-in-chief with this organization, and are said to have three comedy roles peculiarly suited to their respective types of humor.
Miss Hazel Grant, a handsome and talented young woman, new to burlesque, possessing an exceptional voice, sustains the leading female role throughout the two-act musical burlesque and "The Three of Us," a comedy singing girl and Bissett and O'Brien, a team of expert dancers, offer specialities designed to meet with critical approval.
Lilla Brennan, a bright and pretty little sonbette, and a young and active chorus of winsome girls, complete what is said to be in its entirety a thoroughly pleasing and satisfying entertainment.

ST. PAUL.
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. OFFER THOUSAND DOLLARS IN JUST THOUSAND DAYS is the watchword to send down the line throughout 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 dollars, 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.
The Bill Outside.
"Why don't you come in occasionally between drinks," demanded the wife, "and see the play?" "I don't need to," replied the bibulous husband. "The bartender is familiar with the plot, imitates the actors and also knows a lot of gossip about their personal and family affairs."
No London in the Provinces
London costs the country the provincial and residential centers which are to be found in Germany. Berlin is not an imperial capital to anything like the same degree as London, but Germans have very substantial compensations in their many other beautiful provincial cities.
No Great Attraction
"Wouldn't you like to be as perfect as the Venus de Milo?"
"I suppose so," answered Mrs. De-Style, without enthusiasm. "But I don't think she could wear the 1909 models in gowns."
Tonsorial Note.
"Your hair wants cutting badly, sir," said a barber to a customer.
"No, it doesn't," replied the man in th echair; "it wants cutting nicely. You cut it badly last time."
