THE FIRST LADY OF THE WHITE HOUSE MRS. JOHN ADAMS, WIFE OF THE SECOND PRESIDENT, MOTHER OF THE SIXTH. BY HELEN BARRETT SMITH THE WHITE HOUSE VOL. 26. NO. 6. THE FIR THE WH MRS. JOHN AD SECOND PRES THE SIXTH. HE White House in all its beauty and completeness ready to receive its new mistress; the pemp and pageant attending her reception; the military splendor of Pennsylvania avenue, the din of music, the shouts of the multitude—all this is far and away from the HE White House in all its beauty and completeness ready to receive its new mistress; the pomp and pageant attending her reception; the military splendor of Pennsylvania avenue, the din of music, the shouts of the multitude—all this is far and away from the home coming of that remarkable first mistress who was lost in the forest while trying to find the new capitol. In June, 1800, the seat of government moved from Philadelphia to Washington, but it was before Mrs. Adams left her home in Quincy for the White House. Did ever a president's wife have such a journey! It was up hill, down dale and through the woods by post chaise, stage coach and private equipage; long waits for relays, delayed on the high ways by breakdowns; lost in the woods outside Baltimore until a straggling black was found to extricate the lady and her party with difficulty; on and on through forests; nothing to be seen but trees and occasionally a cot "without a glass window," and, as Mrs. Adams writes, "You can travel for miles without meeting a MRS. ADAMS, FROM THE PICTURE BY C. SCHESSELE human being." Finally Washington—a city in name only, Pennsylvania avenue, a "muddy, wagon-rucked road," New Jersey avenue just cut through; scattered buildings in various stages of completion, and, at last—the White House. No lawn, no fence, no yard, no approach, the principal staircase not up, nor a single apartment finished, no bells, no lights, no grates, no means of heating the building. Mrs. Adams sits shivering and writes, "Surrounded by forests, can you believe that wood is not to be had because people cannot be found to cut and cart it!" It appears that our labor problem has always been with us. The faithful Brisler is the most distracted man in Washington; he has used all available wood to dry out the newly plastered walls of the White House. No more fuel at any price. Small wonder that Mrs. Adams exclaims, "We have indeed come into a new country!" But this first mistress is by no means overwhelmed by the chaotic condition of the Executive Mansion. She declares buoyantly, "I am a mortal enemy to anything but a cheerful countenance and a merry heart, which, Solomon tells us, does good like a medicine." A New Englander by birth, the daughter of a clergyman, Abigail Adams had none of the austerity or pitanic prejudices of her day. What does it matter if there are only six rooms tenantable in the White House—Mrs. Adams is resourceful and self-reliant. When a woman has been through the revolution, her home surrounded by spies, her husband's letters intercepted, her supplies cut off; when she has been left on a farm with five children and tills the soil to support the family; when she has faced the terrors of Bunker hill and the siege of Boston; when famine and pestleance have spared none, and she has been robbed of her mother and her baby; when this agony and misery has been endured and the woman, through her subline faith in God, retains sweetness of character—then the unfinished city of Washington is a trifle not likely to disturb her peace of mind. Mrs. Adams' chief concern is a desire to make it pleasant for those about her. Thus she cautions her daughter Abby, "You must keep all this to yourself and when asked how I like it say that I write you the situation is beautiful—which is the truth." The fates made a happy selection in choos- --- THE APPEAL. COPYRIGHT BY PEARSON PUB. CO. THE WASHINGTON THAT MRS. ADAMS FOUND THE WASHINGTON THAT MRS. ADAMS FOUND ing Mrs. Adams for the first lady of the White House. No woman of her day had such a varied experience in establishing official residences. It was Mrs. Adams' love of family that gave her the courage to cross the ocean and join her husband and boys—John Adams was in France with Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin negotiating peace with England. Mrs. Adams took a little house at Auteuil, a suburb of Paris, renowned for the homes of its famous men. The gay court of Versailles, brilliantly artificial, the perfection of its polished surface hardly concealing the rottenness of its foundation, was a revelation to the American visitor. Very charitably Mrs. Adams wrote, "Manners differ exceedingly in different countries." Yet the little THE ORIGINAL WHITE HOUSE house at Auteuil became a social center. Diplomats, princes and artists gathered at her board. At one of these dinners an American lady, horrified by the Marquise de la Fayette's unpretentious appearance, whispered to Mrs. Adams, "Good heavens, how awfully she is dressed," to which Mrs. Adams replied, "The lady's rank sets her above the formalities of dress." Mrs. Adams' breezy comment on her countrywomen is refreshingly up to date; she writes, "I have seen none who carry extravagances of dress to such a height as the Americans here." But Mrs. Adams' home retained its democratic simplicity and she left to the French aristocracy the remembrance of a household that was typically American. Grosvenor square, London, was COPYRIGHT BY PEARSON PUB. CO. THE WASHINGTON THAT Mrs. Adams' next residence. She became presiding lady of the first American legation in Great Britain—alas and slack, what empty honor! The English were smarting under the humiliation of losing the colonies. The king and queen were civil to the point of boorishness, the people arrogant and insulting, the press scurrilous and abusive, the nobility in absolute ignorance of the new nation across the ocean. Mrs. Adams declared that Mr. Pitt and Lord Carmarthen were the only two men in England who seemed to have liberal ideas concerning America. When, after a three years' stay in Grosvenor square, Mr. Adams was recalled to become vice-president of the United States, Mrs. Adams, in commenting on their coming department, says, "Some years hence it may be pleasant to reside here in the character of American minister; but with the present servility and the present temper of the English no one need envy the embassy." To New York City Mrs. Adams next moved her household goods. The vice-president's residence was Richmond Hill mansion, once the headquarters of Gen. Washington. Mrs. Adams was delighted with the situation of her new home. The city has stretched for miles to the north of this spot, now Varick and Charlton streets, but Mrs. Adams wrote that Richmond Hill was a mule and a half from New York. Wandering through the neighborhood of Varick street, with its Trinity tenements, and over to the shipping activity of West street and the Hudson river, one finds it hard to realize that here were once "fields beautifully variegated with grain and grass to a great extent like the valley of Honiton in Devonshire." These fields were to the right of the mansion and continuing her description Mrs. Adams writes: "Upon my left the city opens to view, intercepted here and there by a rising ground and an ancient oak. In the back is a large flower garden, enclosed with a hedge and some handsome trees. Venerable our mooring poor is preferable to any other country. Comparatively speaking, we have no poor America is in her early vigor . . . in a cheerful flourishing state." OF E F TH oaks and broken ground with shrubs surround me, giving a natural beauty to the spot which is truly enchanting. A lovely variety of birds serenade me morning and evening, rejoicing at their liberty and security." It was at this beautiful home that Mrs. Adams gave her informal garden parties and delightful teas. With characteristic deference she left the brilliant levees, state dinners and dignified minuets to Mrs. Washington at the presidential residence, No. 4 Franklin square—as hostesses were never two women better qualified. Bush hill became Mrs. Adams' home when the capital moved to Philadelphia. Unfortunately, the climate did not agree with the vice-president's wife; she suffered from malaria and had to take many trips to Quincy to regain her health. Although Mrs. Adams found her home on the Schuylkill peaceful and serene, she writes regretfully, "When all is done it will not be Broadway." So the allurement of "dear old Broadway" had not its beginnings yesterday; the famous thoroughfare had attractions distinctly its own 120 years ago. Mrs. Adams had hardly arrived at the White House when a servant appeared from country America flourish Mrs. ness of he is o "My persona the th from y and os by a s merous able to justice satisfac prayer Star Adams see, sa that co nesses do ere MRS. ADAMS FOUND Mount Vernon. He presented Mrs. Washington's compliments, a haunch of venison, a billet from Major Custis, the son of Mrs. Washington, a congratulatory letter from Mrs. Lewis, in which Mrs. Washington sent her love and a warm invitation to Mount Vernon. Nor did Mrs. Adams put off the visit—she went the next week. Oh, for the era of motor cars and good roads! Poor Mrs. Adams is appalled by the time required to pay calls in the wilderness city. Her nearest neighbor is Mrs. Otis, the senator's mother, who lives half a mile from the White House and many of the ladies are in Georgetown, three and four miles apart. Freight transportation, too, has its vexations. Mrs. Adams lamentes, "The vessel which has my clothes and other matter has not arrived. The ladies are impatient for a drawing-room." To add to her distress she had no mirrors, nor a twentieth part lamps enough to light the house. In moving, many of her things have been broken or stolen, her precious china set, so dear to the feminine heart, is more than half missing—How did the lady ever preserve a cheerful countenance and a merry heart? Yet, in spite of all inconveniences, President and Mrs. Adams gave their New Year's reception at the White House in 1801, thereby establishing a custom that has since been followed on the first of every January. Mrs. Adams used for a drawing-room what is now the library. In entertaining she endeavored to keep up the standard set by the Washingtons. The first lady of the White House dispensed her hospitality with a lavish hand and was particularly proud of the showing made by the ladies at her lace. She declared, while in England, that the beauties of the court of St. James, the duchess of Devonshire, the countess of Salisbury and Lady Talbot, had formidable rivals in Mrs. Bingham, Mrs. Phelps and Miss Hamilton. Mrs. Adams was especially happy to welcome Mrs. Bingham to Defective Page the White House—this lady, "the most beautiful woman of her day," passed most of her time abroad. In discussing the expatriated Americans Mrs. Adams expressed sorrow that they should "allow frivolity of amusement to wean them away from their native land." During her stay at the White House Mrs. Adams watched with interest the workings of the first congress that assembled in Washington. She was always a keen observer of the political situation. John Adams kept no secrets from his wife. In sending some important documents for her inspection, he writes, "I daresay there is not a lady in America treated to a more curious dish of politics than the papers I enclose . . . by no means let them go out of your hands or be copied." Thus trained by one of the greatest statesmen of his day, Mrs. Adams had a complete understanding G of the game of politics as played in all parts of the world. She was shocked by Marie Antoinette's fate. She grieved for her as one woman grieves for another; but this clilax of the great French tragedy was not reached in a single setting. Of the many scenes that led up to that awful execution Mrs. Adams wrote with deep knowledge: "Were you to witness the spectacles of wretchedness and misery which these older countries exhibit, crowded with habitudes, loaded with taxes, you would shudder at the sight." In London she saw the great army of the unemployed, encountered the beggars at her doorstep, the homeless in Hyde park, and, in comparing this state of affairs with conditions at home, she says, "The liberal reward which labor meets with in America is another source of our national prosperity; population and increasing wealth result from it. The condition of our laboring poor is preferable to any other Comparatively speaking, we have no poor, is in her early vigor . . . in a cheerful ing state."

The old pipes were very small in the amount of tobacco that they would hold. There was, therefore, a wide, flaring margin to the pipe to catch any grains of tobacco that might be spilled in filling it; then there was a hollow which would hold a pinch of tobacco half as large as an ordinary pea and a rather wide hole passing down through the base of the bowl which fitted into the pipe stem. The bowl of the pipe was of ivory, stone, brass or copper. The pipe-stem was curved and had a mouthpiece. It is said that the small hole running down through the base of the bowl and into the pipe-stem was usually plugged with caribou hair to save any grains of tobacco that might otherwise have passed down through this aperture and so be lost. The smoking of such a pipe would not last long and we may presume that a very few draws would exhaust it. The smoke was of course taken into the lungs. The Eskimos are known to be extremely skilful in the representation of scenes and objects, while the Indians of Queen Charlotte's sound and generally all the natives of the northwest coast of America are famous for their carving in wood and in a black slate. Handsomely carved Eskimo pipes of walrus ivory from northwestern Alaska have on each side of the pipe, that is to say, on four mors or less long, flat surfaces, scenes from the daily life of the Eskimo. --- COINS ALL STRIPPED COINS ALL STRIPPED Secret Service Men Hunt Defacers of Gold Pieces. Acids Used to Remove Small Quantities of Metal from Coins—Probe for the Lincoln Penny Jewelry Fad. New York.—Federal service agents under orders from Chief John E. Wilkie, have been making a canvass of jewelers' and electroplating shops in the Malden lane district in an effort to run down persons suspected of stripping coins—that is, removing small quantities of gold or silver from the surfaces of coins by a chemical process. Inquiries also were made as to several new kinds of coin jewelry, including articles made from Lincoln pennies. The inquiry as to coin stripping was started after many circulating coins, including $20 gold pieces, were found to be short of the prescribed weight. The loss seemed to be more than is usual when coins are worn off from frequent handling. They are suspicious that coins have been reduced in weight by the stripping process, in which they are dipped for an hour or two in aqua regia, a mixture of nitric and hydrochloric acids, into which an electric current is turned. When the electric power and the strength of the acids are fixed in the proper relation to the weight of the coins treated, it is believed, the metal is "sweated" off the surface of the coins so smoothly that they are not changed in appearance. Valuable quantities of the precious metals have been obtained criminally, it is suspected, through the stripping of many coins. The detached metal clings to a receiving plate, from which it is readily collected by the strippers, who have no difficulty in selling it for cash to jewelers or even to the government, since there is no suspicion of the method by which it was ob- tained. The coins are passed into circulation at their face value. Coins also have been stripped, it is suspected, by using them for short intervals in electroplating tanks. Many coins that have been offered for deposit at banks recently have the designs brought out more sharply than is natural. It is supposed that these coins have been stripped and were left in the acid bath too long. But even in these coins the untrained eye would see no sign of mutilation. One of the largest electroplaters said that strippers could take as much as a pennyweight of gold, worth more than a dollar, from a $20 gold piece without making any easily perceptible change. There is no risk of loss in damaging gold coins, because if the acid should eat too much or roughen the surface the entire coin may be melted up and the metal sold for an amount equal to the value of the coin. A special difficulty in getting evidence against the stripper is that even if he be caught with the coins in solution nothing is proved, as he can say that he intends to use the coins, instead of bullion, for plating, and will not try to pass them as money. There is no law against dissolving or melting coins, provided they are destroyed as currency, and many jewelers fuse gold coins instead of going to the trouble of getting bullion for the purpose. None of the established electroplaters is suspected of being engaged in the illegitimate practice. It is supposed that temporary plants are put up by strippers in secluded lofts of factory buildings, as little equipment is required. The fad for Lincoln pennies in jewelry received attention because a gold plated penny might be mistaken for a five-dollar gold piece. It was recalled that when the five-cent nickels were first used they did not have the word "cent" on them. Many such coins were plated with gold and passed on ignorant immigrants as five-dollar gold pieces. The secret service men who inquired here as to the use of the gold plated pennies made no objection to such plating. Jewelers have made inquiries of the authorities here and in Washington, and have been informed that the law as to mutilation of coins applies only to gold and silver coins. Besides, pennies are made more valuable by gold plating. In certain western cities, it is reported, the federal authorities have prohibited manufacturers of jewelry from plating Lincoln pennies with gold. That is held to account for an increased demand on the manufacturers here who make the pennies into scarf pins, brooches and other articles. MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY. $2.40 PER YEAR. Chicago Woman Erects Seven-Room Structure for Valuable Feline Pets to Live In. Chicago.—Chicago may claim the distinction of having probably the most remarkable cat fancier in the world. Mrs. W. Eames Colburn, wife of the head of the banking firm of W. E. Colburn & Co., has built a modern seven room house for her feline pets and provided her 35 prize cats with all the luxuries of urban life. A liking for cats forbade her giving up one of her pets, but impels her to frequently add to their number. Gradually the house grew to be overrun with them and the time came for heat to say good-by to some of her friends. This she refused to do, and but one alternative remained. A seven room house was built adjoining her home at 3006 Bond Avenue. The feline domicile was built with the same care and expense as though the owner herself were to live in it. The entire front of the home is a large library, fitted with upholstered couches, silk draperies, lace curtains and heavy rugs. Steam heat and gas as well as a modern bathroom were included for kitty's comfort. The 35 members of the cat family share six bedrooms, each fitted with little brass cots, mirrors and costly hangings. Each pet has its own bed, with silk spreads and downy blankets. Head of the household is Lord Barsford, a large white $1,000 Angora, "who rules with an iron hand," setting all disputes and brooking no inubordination. His mate, Connie Lock, is the pride of his life, and might well make his rivals jealous. She is a pure white Persian with large brown eyes. The only militant member of the colony has precipitated so many rows in the home that he now lives in the family home with Mrs. Colburn. This is Kee Kee Vita, a short-haired Siamese with pretty, innocent blue eyes, but possessed of a violent temper. He left the marks of his disposition on many a prize animal before separated from his kin. Mrs. Colburn has always derived much pleasure from spending her time tending the pets until her health failed recently. A woman has now relieved her of the cares of the cat family and spends most of her time in the cat home. HEADS ILLINOIS MILITIA Frank S. Dickson Is Appointed Adjutant General of States Forces by Governor. Springfield, Ill—Frank S. Dickson, who has been appointed adjutant general of Illinois to succeed the late Thomas W. Scott, has been acting adjutant general since Scott's death, April 6, 1909. The new adjutant general was born at Hillsboro, Ill., October 6, 1876, and FRANK S. DICKSON his present home is at Ramsey. He entered the Illinois National Guard in 1897 and was made quartermaster of the Fourth Infantry in 1900. He was appointed assistant adjutant general May 6, 1907. Gen. Dickson saw service in the Spanish American war, serving a year in Cuba as a private in Company 1, Fourth Illinois infantry. New Miners' Safety Lamp. A new safety lamp for miners has been invented, comprising a battery and a metal filament lamp which are completely incased. The circuit of the lamp is kept closed by means of a spring-pressed rod bearing against a light ring on the glass casing of the lamp. Should the glass be broken, the ring would be sure to break or be displaced, opening the circuit of the lamp, so that there would be no danger of igniting the gases with the incandescent filament.

On the topic of depravity of the Afro-American population, much has been said by the Caucasian press. That depravity has been made the excuse for lynchings and all other outrages perpetrated upon the proscribed race. All these have been exploited as means to preserve the purity of the white race. Yet it may fairly be doubted whether or not the purity of the white race is, in all instances, so immaculate as to justify such extreme measures. For instance, the Chicago Record-Herald gives the following account of how New Year's was celebrated in the high-toned cafes of the city: "We are told, on good authority, of young women in the most revolting stages of drunkenness; of the complete breaking down of social barriers; of disgraceful exhibitions that J.

During the graduating exercises in the Paron de Hirsch school in New York, where fifty immigrant children had learned the English language sufficiently well to enter the public schools; when the American flag was borne past the children, one little girl pulled up the folds and reverently kissed that which symbolized to her freedom and safety for the refugee, an end to oppression and the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. In the United States are 10,000,000 Afro-Americans who are alleged to be citizens. All were born in this country. Thousands now living have fought to defend the flag; thousands who are dead gave up their lives in defense of the flag. The race gave 250 years of unquitted toil and added billions of dollars to the wealth of the country and since the civil war have added other billions to the national wealth. The majority of these people are loyal, peaceable, law-abiding men and women, yet they are wronged and oppressed in the land of their birth.

Ordi With a postal deficit of nearly $17,500,000, the largest in the history of the Postoffice Department, as its leading features. Postmaster General Hitchcock's first annual report is given to the public. A cursory review of previous periods traces the financial condition of the department from a self-supporting basis between the years 1789 to 1810, except for a single year, to the colossal shortage for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1909. Second-class mail privileges and the rural free delivery service are blamed for the big deficit, the former to the extent of a loss in its operations for $64,000,000 and the latter of $28,000,000. To give some idea as to the size of the postal service and the magnitude of its operations, the report states that the service now has about 232,000 employees. These employees handled during the last fiscal year nearly 14,000,000,000 pieces of mail. The number of post offices in operation is 60,144. There are 26,652 domestic transportation routes, aggregating 448,618 miles. A delivery service by carrier is provided on 40,628 rural routes, and in 1,440 cities and towns. Ordinarily postage stamps to the number of 8,712,907,031 were sold during the year, and domestic money orders to the value of $401,074,949 were issued.

The most ignorant and degraded foreigner who comes to this country has a decided advantage over Afro-American citizens. THE UNITED STATES NOT SU PERIOR. All true patriotic Americans are, of course, impressed with the idea that things of all kinds are so vastly superior to those of the same kind which exist in other parts of the world that they will be surprised to learn that an intelligent citizen of Boston who just returned from a tour of Europe found that in some respects the idea is by no means correct. The gentleman in question visted an European city about the size of Boston and had the curiosity to wish to see the slums of the city.

Some of these are among railroad is a financier. streets on which these homes were located were as clean as in the most prosperous parts of the city, and that means cleaner than any part of Boston. The same was true of the backyards and alleyways and places that here would be dirt holes. In the United States, every city, without exception, is cursed with slums and the slums run the city. Certain parts of the city are given over to filth and vice. The red light districts of Chicago are known throughout the civilized world. Americans have not yet learned the art of running their cities on the European plan. VERDICT FOR AFRO-AMERICAN. Mrs. Agnes Carver Brent, an Afro-American woman, has been awarded a verdict for $750 damages against the Great Falls & Old Dominion Railway Company for alleged false arrest, by a jury in the Circuit Court of the District of Columbia. The plaintiff was a passenger in August, 1906, on a car from Georgetown to Livingston Heights, in Virginia; she was seated in the third seat from the rear of the car, and when Virginia was reached the conductor, acting under the jim crow car law of Virginia, directed her to move to the second seat from the rear. When she declined he caused another employee of the road, known as a special officer for Fairfax county, but not for Alexandria county, to place her under arrest. She was taken to Great Palls, it was testified, then to Rosslyn, and to the Alexandria county jail, from which place she was released about midnight. It was a great outrage and Mrs. Brent ought to have gotten the $20,000 she sued for. It is, however, remarkable that she was awarded $756, as the usual award in jim crow cases in the District is one cent and costs. BLACK MADE WHITE An illinois scientist recently told a learned society in Boston that it is entirely possible for a Negro to make a white man of himself. All he has to do is to use certain injections and baths until the chromosomes in the cells become attenuated or destroyed." THE APPEAL does not know much about the above treatment, but from an article in Pearson's Magazine it learns that in Louisiana and other Southern states a whole lot of people whose chromosomes have been attenuated and who are passing as pure HON. CHARLE The Brave Governor of Illinois Whose Big Four Railroad Ordering Super Transport Any Crowd of Per white people are really descendants of San Domingo free men and women of color. Some of these are among the very aristocracy of Louisiana. William E. Curtis attributes the unrest in India, which is giving the British government so much trouble, largely to the class of natives partially educated by the government; and he is probably right. He quotes from Pope the line, "A little learning is a dangerous thing," but does not quote the next line, "Drink deep or taste not the Pierian spring." Nor does he suggest that a little liberty is also a dangerous thing is being learned by every white race which is exploiting a dark skinned race for political and commercial purposes Humanum est errare. The British government has grant ed a comparatively liberal degree of self-government in India as the result of the demand for an amelioration of the condition of the native population. Throughout the East there is an awakening and conditions are changing for the better. In Christian (?) America the Afro-American is being systematically and continually robbed of his rights and subjected to humiliating conditions of life. At a medical powwow in Atlanta, Dr. Stiles said: "The hookworm was undoubtedly brought here by the Negroes." Which leads THE APPEAL to remark that both the Negroes and the hookworm were undoubtedly brought here by the white man. As a specimen of the way the Southern prohibition laws actually prohibit, it may be mentioned that a Georgia man in whose possession $2,000 worth of liquor was found, plead that he bought it to fill a prescription made by a physician for his wife. The jury accepted this admirable defense and found him not guilty without leaving the box. If anything would justify a mob, it is the action of the cold storage companies in corraling vast quantities of food for speculative or stealage purposes. Much of the high price is due to these practices, and no one need be surprised if their plants are, sooner or later, demolished by hungry men and women. Jimmy Vardaman, the Mississippi otocony-mergatus, is trying to get to the United States Senate in order to swipe the Fifteenth Amendment. He probably has the hookworm already; but we warn him if he tackles the old Fifteenth, he probably will have the pogonip before he gets through with it. But—rush in, etc. The Maryland Democrats have evolved another scheme for the disfranchisement of the Afro-American, that is, by refusing him registration. The proposed end is, of course, to make the state as solidly Democratic as Texas. Stensland, who cleaned out the 22,000 depositors of the Milwaukee Avenue Bank of Chicago, has been turned loose by the Illinois Board of Pardons. He is in a pitiful state of health. One of the most rapacious of the trusts is that of the undertakers. One undertaker in Chicago is now furnishing a casket for which $100 is charged by others in the same line, for $50. The thing should be investigated. If nothing else will suffice the vendors of meat to lower the price, the fact that Mrs. Hettie Green is suffering because she cannot afford to eat it, ought to do so. How can a man afford to spend more money to secure an office than the entire salary of the office? The question is worth studying. Every friend of freedom must lament the death of Embassador Nabuco, who was the William Lloyd Garrison of Brazil. ES S. DENEEN Quick Action in Telegraphing to the printendent of Cairo Division Not to persons Prevented a Lynching. A bandit is one who wrecks a train; but the fellow who wrecks an entire railroad is a financier. "DIXIE." "DIXIE." Since one of the government music men has raised a terrible storm by pronouncing "Dixie" the most popular national song, it seems meet for THE APPEAL to say its say about the matter; and that say is that in its opinion "Dixie" is of unmistakable Negro origin, and was probably written and arranged by Dan Emmett from what he had heard the Negroes of his company sing. Indeed, old Dan, in his account of the way he came to write the song, almost admits the fact; for he says: "When caught in inclement weather, the Negroes with the circus were wont to wish they were back in Dixieland." This undeniable proof of the Negro origin of the song which old Dan Emmett caught and wrote off. Another, once very popular song—"Listen to the Mocking Bird"—originated in the same way, and the musician who wrote it off made no secret of the matter, but admitted that he caught it from "Whistling Dick," who was accustomed to sing and perform on the streets of Philadelphia. THE APPEAL is of the opinion that "Dixie" is about as fit as "Yankee Doodle" for our national song. Both are buffoonry, pure and simple, utterly unworthy of any national recognition, and hopes that in process of time some American genius will arise to compose for us a song that will rank with "La Marseillaise," "Die Wacht Am Rhein" and the Russian National Hymn. We need something solemn, dignified and impressive. ```markdown ``` An unaccentarian Christian Institution, devoted especially to advanced education.

Defective Page 50TH ANNIVERSARY MRS. FLOREANCE L. DUCKETT CEL EBRATES HER 50TH BIRTH- DAY ANNIVERSARY. The Occasion Being One of the Most Pleasant Social Functions Held in St. Paul During the Present Year. There are very few of the gentle sex who will admit to having seen over thirty-five or at most forty summers with an equal number of springs. So when the hostess on this occasion issued her invitations asking her friends to be her guests for the celebration of the 50th anniversary of her birthday some of them doubtless were taken aback at her frankness. This, however, did not prevent them from accepting the invitation in large numbers and the result was that the spacious parlors of the residence of Mr. and Mrs. George Duckett, No. 687 St. Anthony avenue, were completely filled with guests during the receiving hours, from 8 to 11 p. m. last Saturday. The lower floor of the house was given up to the reception of the guests with the lady members of the Mite Missionary Society of St. James A. M. E. church, and the alliance in the receiving line. The ladies were handsomely gowned and all wore their hair powdered, presenting the appearance of a regular Martha Washington party. The hostess wore a handsome empire gown of buff embroidered silk, carried a bouquet of 50 pink roses, and certainly did not look to be over seven-tenths of the half century which she admits, but wears with becoming grace. The house was brilliantly lighted throughout and the air was redolent with the perfume of the cut flowers, which were profusely mingled with palms, ferns and potted plants, roses and carnations predominating, and all helping to carry out the color scheme of pink and green and white. The refreshment room was on the second floor, the table being handsomely decorated, Mr. and Mrs. Marshall Puckett presiding, relays of twenty persons being served at one time. The color scheme was carried out in the Neapolitan cream which was served, with the figure 50 in pink running through the center. Beautiful crepe napkins with a gift border and the inscription F. L. D. 1860-1910 printed in one corner in pink were furnished to each guest. Miss Warren presided at the piano and Mrs. S. E. Bond at the punch owl. Telegrams of congratulation were read from Rt. Rev. C. T. Shaffer, Chicago; Rev. Brice U. Taylor, Clinton, Iowa; Queen Rideout, Youngstown, Ohio; Mr. O. C. Hall, Muskegue, Okla.; Mr. Price Houston, a younger brother, McAllister, Okla.
