The Appeal

THE APPEAL KEeps IN FRONT BECAUSE: 1-It aims to publish all the news possible. 2-It does so in implying no words. 3-Its correspondents are able and energetic. The Man and His Idea VOL. 26. NO. 9. The Tip HIS is the story of a man with money and an idea. Being an American, he naturally had money and incidentally the idea, and he was prouder of his idea than—anything he had ever done or owned. T It came about this way. The steam heater indigently refused to perform its duties and the plumber, who was a member of the Affiliated Order of Associated Social Plumbers, moved in and prepared to occupy the best bedroom for the winter while he supervised the plumb. SIGHT-SEEING IN BRUNCHAL, MADEIRA IN BULLOCK SLEDS ing. The consequences were, first, that the maids, including the cook, left. Second, that the man had to go out for all of his meals and became a slave to a cross-eyed waiter; and, third, that his wife divorced him for the winter, the grounds of complaint for the cold feet, though this fact was not allowed to reach the newspapers. The idea came to him one evening after the cross-eyed waiter had returned his quarter to him with the unasked advice that he might need it to buy petrol for his flying machine, and that the waiting brotherhood recounted how he coinied half a dollar. He threw money in a path that he would shake the mud of New York from his shoes for the winter and go to Europe; and, "by goby"—here is the idea—"there would be not a tip on the way, if he could help it. Not! sr. Not on your life." Appropriately, first of all he struck a place of palms, not the kind that came from the tree family. This was Funcha in the Madura islands. When he had found there were no chewing gum pallows or moving picture shows, with two and a half hours of refined vaudeville thrown in—things which he never patronized at home, but now felt a feverish anxiety to indulge in, he consulted the head waiter at his hotel, to whom, needless to say, he had not confided his vow. That functionary insisted that life was a blank without a ride in a "caros," or sledge drawn by bullock, and a caros was accordingly engaged and the expedition set out, the sextant, brass tube and oil stained manuscript usual in explorations being conspicuous by their absence. During the course of the perilous bumping over the stones the driver in the intervals of smiling his companions the runners held a conversation with him which might have been intelligent had he understood even that he the caros returned to the hotel, the driver held up ten fingers and ejaculated, "Teen hunder reels" "Holy smoke!" said the man, "You thieving blackguard—here," and handed him a dollar and a half—"Now be off with you." That evening the other occupants of the verandah were horrified to hear a succession of expletives issuing from the man's mouth as he read in his Baedeker that 1,000 reels was a dollar. and a half hours of refined vaudeville—things which he never patronized at now felt a feverish anxiety to indulge sulted the head waiter at his hotel, but the head waiter had not confided That functionary had held without a ride in a "carros" or sledge bullock, and the expedition set out, the sexte tube and oil stained manuscript usual being conspicuous by their abing the course of the perilous bumper stones the driver in the intervals of a oaken and greasing the runners held a sledge that had never been had he understood even The man next moved on to Alexandra. He had forgotten every care but his vow. He still clung to the idea. He climbed down the steps into the barge-like boat with the crowd, mostly warm-climate-seeking Americans, and thought he might investigate its Pharaohs and see if there was anything in the story of the plagues of Egypt. When he did land, after having circumvented by a blank and uncomprehending stare the head boatman's insinuation that "leetel mona" was a desirable thing, his bags were dumper on the quay and he found himself the center of an admiring crowd, conspicuous among which was the head boatman, whom he thought he had said farewell to forever. Pointing to his bags, he said, serenely, "hotel." A pleased grin ran around his audience, who all looked at the head boatman, who shook his head. The man held up half a rush for his baggage. Suddenly the head boatman, with a grave and impatient afterward, "You give dolla-me half back-backness did!" The man looked about him. The idea did not seem so precious. It was growing late. After all, it wasn't so much. Two minutes after a procession trailed into the hotel, consisting of the man and two persons, one of whom was the head boatman. When the man struck Greece, Greece made haste to retaliate in the person of a picturequeen pirate in baggy tousers, a red sash, earrings and THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINN..

Former Bull Fighter's Museum Former Bull Fighter's Museum For 46 years the Corona family had occupied the plain two-story house called "Casa de Corona" on the Viga canal, in the dilapidated village known as El Puente del jamaica. This village is reached now by the Iktapalpa electric car, being the first step beyond the head of the canal, and whatever of fame or interest it enjoys it derives solely from the old house at the southern extremity of its one street, the house of Corona, which contains the bull fighter's museum. A morning is ample time for the trip, Lillian Webster says in the Mexican Herald, and while people from the four corners of the world have discovered this museum, as the register reveals, there are many people in the city who have hardly heard of it; yes, to the lover of the quaint, curious and historic it is certainly well worth a visit, for Juan Corona during some 25 years was gathered here, there and everywhere a valuable collection. He was a Sunday bull fighter and used to fight in the ring, which does not exist now, but every day in a week he was a collector and a philanthropist, who his generosity and kindness endured himself not only to the people of his own village but to all people with whom he came in contact. He died 21 years ago, but his daughter a kind. EDISON IS PUZZLED Wizard of Electricity Finds Radium's Secret Hard to Solve. Says Fuel is One of the Big Problems of the Future—Talks of the Coming Air Machines and Future Food. New York—Thomas A. Edison has been talking about some of the wonders and problems which make this old world such an interesting place in which to live. Radium, for instance, moves him to enthusiasm, the greater perhaps because even Edison himself hasn't got on confidential terms with the substance. He has some of it, though. Oh, yes. Says he: "I have a spinthariscop, which is a tiny bit of radiation, of a size that will go through the eye of a needle mounted over a piece of willemite. It has been shooting off millions of sparks for 50 years that I have had it, and I expect it will be shooting sparks the same way for thousands of years. "While only small quantities of radium have been isolated, it exists everywhere in water, rock and soil. The possibility of harnessing this force for our use is somewhat of a speculation. A radium clock has been made and it will go several hundred years without winding. "The problem of fuel is one of the big problems of the future. We may find out to-morrow how to get all the power from our fuel—we get only to 20 per cent. now—and on the other hand it may take a long time. Water is being rapidly developed. Maybe the situation of the tides will follow. More practical are windmills connected with storage batteries to lay up the energy of the winds in electrical form. "Sun engines are promising contrivances. In Arizona there is a 20 white-haired spinster, and his four sons, with their families, occupy the old home and keep tender watch over the treasures which their father owns, so much patience and expense during a lifetime. Thomas A. Edison. horse power sun engine run by focusing the rays on water and using a steam turbine. In steaming volcanoes there is power which might be converted into electricity and distributed. One can walk down the corridors, on whose walls great paintings are falling into strings from age, and climb the stone stairs, where a comely servant will greet one and show the curiosities, or, better, let one look at everything to the heart's content. "To get rid of friction in our machines is one of the future problems. The only machine without friction that can resist friction, and it moves in the resistance, either. In the upper corridor there are a number of immense earthen jars which were excavated at a point not far distant and which are valuable samples of the work of potters of other days. In one corner of this corridor there is a quaint fountain and pool In whose walls are laid in mosaics formed of bits of broken glass and porcelain, the whole ornamented with hideous stone Indian idols. From the corridor one passes through the household kitchen to the old one, which is never used and the walls of which are literally lined from top to bottom with every class of earthen cooking vessels, wooden spoons, forks and chocolate beaters. Near by is the dining room, whose long table contains a quaint collection of vases and dishes, while the walls are hung with plaques painted on bowls, forks and of which are the portraits of Maximilian and Cotolotta. There are dishes and plaques made by the Indians of remote regions which even in this day of railway facilities are difficult to find. There are tall "oilas" where soup for a regiment could be made. "The monarchail does not appeal to me. It was a fundamental mistake that our railroads were built on a four-foot nine and one-half inch gauge instead of a six-foot gauge, which we will probably have to come to yet. "The aeroplane of the future will, I think, have to come to the helicopter principle. A successful air machine must be able to defy the winds. If Wright's aeroplane had one-twentieth of its surface the wind would not affect it. The helicopter principle is the only way to rise above the atmospheric conditions. By increasing the velocity of propeller revolutions the size of the machine can be diminished, and there by we vanquish the hostility of the wind. A helicopter could have four size planes contributed on a 100 tt 150 foot circle and controlled from the center by wires. The dining room opens into the bedroom, where, in a corner, stands the silver bedstead on which Santa Ana died, it being elaborately dressed with hangings and covers of coarse white lace. On the wall by the head of the bed is a rare group of guns, swords and pistols. In another corner of the room stands an old-fashioned posted bed which belonged to a lady in waiting, for whom its side is a hand-carved leather trunk which belonged to the patriot Hildalgo. Above the trunk is the carved ivory handled rifle of Miramon, bearing his arms and name. "Chemical food has been worked out pretty well, but it won't be a commercial proposition. There are lots of synthetic things being made, but you can't beat the farm as a laboratory in that line. "The clothes of the future will be so cheap that every young woman will be able to follow the fashions—and there will be plenty of fashions. Artificial silk that is superior to the natural article is now made of wood pulp. The industrial parchism will go in 50 years, just as the indigo of India went before the synthetic production of indigo in German laboratories. The daughter, in speaking of the school for poor children which occupied a room on the first floor of the house for years, said: "Yes, my father established the school and maintained it for many years. In more recent years the teacher was paid by the town government and three years ago the school was moved by that same authority to a house in the village immediately back of this, which is known as 'La Resurrection.'" "In 200 years by the cheapening or commodities the ordinary laborer will live as well as a man does now with $200,000 annual income. Automatic machinery and scientific agriculture will bring about this result. When asked about the sale of articles of the museum she said: "Yes, we have had some offers, but they have been made principally by tourists and have usually been very small, while many of the things here cost my father much money. For example, the gun of Miramon and the cross of La Musa Mexicana' each cost $500. Of course many things were presented to him by friends who knew of his interest in rare and historic things, but," she added, tenderly, "everything is very dear to us and we do not care to part with anything." "Not individualism, but social labor will dominate the future; you can' have individual machines and ever man working by himself. Industry will constantly become more social and in the same way the man will be the man labor in the factories of the man. The men in them will be merely superintendents watching machinery." THE APPEAL STEADILY GAINS BECAUSE: 4-It is the organ of ALL Afro-Americans. 5-It is not controlled by any ring or clique. 6-It asks no support but the people's. MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY. NEW BURLINGTON PRESIDENT Darius Miller, Friend of James J. Hill, Elected Head of Great Railroad System. Chicago.—Darius Miller, the new president of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad Company, is a native of Illinois. He was born at Princeton and educated in the schools of that city. He will be 51 years of age April 3. Particular interest attaches to the personality of Mr. Miller, not alone because of his accession to the seat of power over a great railway system, but also through his close relations with J. J. Hill, the "wizard of the railroad world." For the last seven years, Darius Miller. as vice-president of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad and in charge of both freight and passenger traffic, he has demonstrated his complete mastery. His showroom of traffic has to a great extent reached out into the northwest, as a result of Mr. Hill's faith in his ability. Mr. Miller entered the railroad business in 1877, when he secured a position as stenographer in the general freight offices of the Michigan Central railroad. Three years later he became a clerk in the general freight offices of the St Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern railway. In 1881 he was made chief clerk to the general manager. When two years more had passed he held the position of general freight and ticket agent of the road. While climbing the ladder of promotion he had married Miss Sue C. Brown at Morris, Ill., in 1882. The Memphis & Little Rock railroad next claimed his services as general freight and passenger agent, which occupied his attention from 1887 to 1889, when he was made traffic manager. Then came a succession of short stays with one road or another as traffic manager will be with the Missouri, Kansah and Texas. In 1896 traffic manager and later was elected vice-president of the road. In 1898 Mr. Miller became second vice-president of the Great Northern railway and in 1903 became vice-president of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad, with special supervision over traffic. COINCIDENCE IN BIG FLOOD Paris. Although it will be many days before the city will be back to its normal condition after the ravages of the recent flood, great improvements have been made and in many places it is difficult to tell that the gay capital of France was so recently threatened with destruction. Years and years ago the authorities of Paris adopted the civic arms here with produced. It shows a curious FLUCTUAT NEC MERGITUR Civic Arms of Paris. coincidence with the conditions that prevailed during the flood. Under a field of the lilies of France an ancient gallery is shown, while the motto at the bottom, "Fluctuate nec fluctuare," is inscribed. "It will float although submerged." The city having withstood the torrential rush of the waters it is pointed out by some Parisians that the motto is a lucky omen for the capital which did not float away when hunched in the lilies of its territory were submerged. Only Chance "Do you believe," queried the fainn widow, "that universal peace will ever end." "Not unless people quit getting married!" growled the old bachelor. NEW ENVOY'S WIFE Mme. Chang-Yin-Tang Greatly Interested in America. Washington.—From a social standpoint no minister from the orient has come to the United States under more pleasant auspices than Chang-Yin-Tang, the new Chinese envoy to Washington. The capital always is interested in the minister from China and his family. Dr. Wu Ting Fang gave the Americans much to talk about and aroused their interest. Dr. Wu always was asking questions, and it is probable that when he went back to China several weeks ago he knew more about the government of the United States than some of the men who are sitting in congress. Mr. Chang-Yin-Tang is not a human interrogation point, as was Wu, but he is one of China's greatest statesmen. While much notice has been given him Washington has shown lively interest in his wife and young daughter. He are attractive and full of curiosity and full of curiosity to learn the rules of femininity, which appeals so alluringly from their side of the world. "I have always in Peking," said the affable chateau of the Chinese legation, "and except to travel in my own country and the neighboring lands I am experiencing my first sensation in a great journey. Certainly this one can be considered an ambitious attempt for a beginner. "I anticipated my first winter in Washington much as a young girl who has learned everything from books and who wants to see things for her- Mme. Chang-Yin-Tang. self. I have read much about this country, and met many of its people, and, of course, I have studied the language, especially after it was determined that we should come to Washington. "I find that my visitors are as interested in my country as I am in theirs, and that they have read as much about it. So many American women have traveled in China, and each year brings travelers from the east to see the wonders of the west. We have a woman's question, but not in the acute form which it has taken here. To begin with, the Chinese people have ideas found on many centuries of noting results. We prefer to keep our women at home, and every girl is reared with the idea that her place is at home and that there she is safer, happier and more useful. In poor families the girls work, of course, but at home. "That vast source of income to China, embroidery, ivory, wood and metal carving, tapestry and feather work, are done by women at home. Some factories are coming into promiscuity, the women work in these, compared to the population of the empire and the way factory groups prevail in other lands," they are scarce indeed. We never employ women in stores or commercial at all. "There are fewer still employed as servants and the whole of our way of disposing such unrest in the other parts of the world is to permit women to enlarge their horizon if they will but keep the national idea always foremost in all that is done for them." Old-Fashioned Mistakes Proud Mother—Sit down at the planner, Maria, and play some of the tunes you heard at the concert yesterday. Daughter—Law, ma, there weren't any tunes. That was all classical music. Wants Information. "Why are you offering such high wages to that mald if she is incompetent." "But, my dear, she has been employed in nearly all the families in our set." Natural Supposition. "I am going to burn coal hereafter." "Hereafter? I thought Old Nick would attend to the heat problem for you then." It Does That. "So you went into automobile race and didn't win," she said. "Well, doesn't it seem the duck?"

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1910. AS YE SOW, SO SHALL YE REAP. All persons acquainted with race conditions in the South are aware that in that section miscegenation has prevailed to a vast extent. Public sentiment made no protest against this condition of things, and, indeed, it was by many Southern thinkers stoutly maintained that it was in reality a benefit, that the sacrifice of the virtue of the black woman was almost an absolute protection of the purity of the white woman. This was regarded as an admirable dispensation of Providence, showing His high regard for the "superior" race. But it is evident from an article in one of the magazines that such views in the matter are changing. The contention of the article is simply this, that the young white man, by his illicit intercourse with the black wom- Secretary of the Treasury, Who in His Annual Report Promises Reform of Customs Service, Urges Federal Economy and Ad- vocates Civil Pensions. Retrenchment is the keynote in the estimates of expenditures for the executive departments of the government for the fiscal year 1911, embodied i n the annual report of Franklin MacVeagh as secretary of the treasury, made public today. This is in line with President Taft's declared policy of greater economy in administering the affairs of the government. "The total estimates for 1911, in an contracts a "social disease" which by subsequent marriage, he communicated to the white woman; and that to an appalling extent. From this cause there resulted such diseases as tuberculosis, locomotor ataxia and infantile blindness. If there is any truth in the matter it shows that the South is still paying the penalty of its violation of the laws of God in slavery days. ABSURD ARGUMENTS. The relation of the larger universities of the United States to the practical problems of existence is being emphasized in an astonishing degree nowadays. If the notion of cloistered halls where pale-faced students pored over musty tomes once held sway, that idea has entirely disappeared. The dominant thought appears to be, how can the training of the schools be made most useful in bettering the conditions of human life.—Chicago Tribune. THE APPEAL quotes the foregoing as an excellent sample of absurd arguments respecting education. It is based upon the assumption that educational courses that "once held sway" had no relation to the "conditions of human life." But, when a pale-faced student discovered vaccination, had the discovery no relations to those conditions? When pale-faced students banished the plague from London and lightened her streets with gas, did that have no relation to the conditions of life? hoeht on 4djuan baltra BACH BY JOHN R. DOWNS HON.

Ordarily postage stamp 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 of $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 325,000 employees. These employees handled during the last fiscal year nearly 14,000,000 pieces of mail. The number of postofficees in operation is 60,444. There are 26,652 domestic transportation routes, aggregating 448,618 miles. Delivery service by carrier is provided on 40,628 rural routes, and in 1,440 cities and towns. Ordinarily stamped, to the number of 8,718,907.03 cents during the year, and domestic money orders, to the value of $401,074.04 cents are issued. The total receipts for the fiscal year of 1909 were $208,562,383.07, an increase of 6.31 per cent over the receipts of the previous year. The total expenditures amounted to $221,004,102.80, an increase of 6.07 per cent. including the naval building program, are $643,129.197," the report says. "Excluding the increase on the Panama canal estimates the total estimates for 1911 show a decrease of $72,449.49 under the appropriations of 1910. Including the increase in the canal estimates, the total estimates for 1911 show a decrease of $42,188.969 under the appropriations for 1910." When pale-faced students translated the Bible did that have no relation to those conditions? When a pale-faced student studied the vibrations of the pendulum, did that have no relation to such conditions? When a pale-faced student invented printing with movable type, did that have no such relation? THE SOCIETY OF THE BANANA. As the result of a trial at Toledo, Ohio, an interesting piece of literature has been introduced to public notice—the constitution of The Society of the Banana. This desirable addition to ways and means of our progress in civilization is of Sicilian origin, and has already been indirectly made famous by the opera, "The Sicilian Vespers." The object of the society is blackmailing and it enforces its decrees by means of poisoned bananas. The authorities of various cities admit that they are unable to exterminate these murderous organizations and it is admitted that there is a very rapid increase in the number of the undesirables, who are dumping themselves upon our shores. These murderous wretches are given rights which are denied to honest, God-fearing Afro-American citizens. NOT A SPECIAL RACIAL DEPRAVITY.

Representative Lowden Will Set Up Black Hawk War Mounments to Mark Lincoln's Path. Representative Frank O. Lowden, of Illinois, is planning a project to set up permanent markers to outlne the march of Abraham Lincoln during the Black Hawk war. Mr. Lowden has donated consider able money to the plan and others have become interested. His object is permanently to fix the march and the places where the followers of the martyr President camped. The march started from Beardstown, continued to Qawka, and thence to the mouth of Rock River. The markers are to be of stone w with suitable inscriptions. It is Mr. Lowden's plan to have maps of the ter ritory, copies of which will be kept in public records of the State of Illinois. and severely censured on account of his having changed his "longin' fun de ole plantation" to a longin' to hike to town and there abide. This has been attributed by Southern savans to a special racial deprivity, to which the "superior" race was not subject, but the latest development upon the subject shows that the white man is doing exactly what the Afro-American has been so berated for doing; that is, moving to town. Very eminent authorities are satisfied that if the present conditions continue, in a few years our population will not produce enough for its own consumption and will be compelled to import what it now exports. During the past year, Argentine, for the first time, exported more grain then this country did; and of, course, bought all her supplies from the countries to which she sold her products. FORTY PER CENT GRAFT. The New York Chief Justice declares that "at least 40 per cent of all the money appropriated for public use is lost in graft." It is probable that this is a very conservative estimate, and if we add to the above the vast amounts plundered from the government by the Arbuckles and Havemeyers, the estimate may safely be doubled. A small beginning has been made towards the punishment of these desperate thieves by the sending of Morse to the Atlanta prison, but the contest to accomplish that slight result cost the government an eighteen months' struggle, and thousands of other men just as guilty as Morse are traveling around in their automobiles and yachts with not a wave of trouble rolling across their peaceful breasts. But perhaps the day of reckoning is nearer than some of us think. MADE FOR "NIGGERS." Dr. Oscar Haywood, who has made a study of prevailing conditions in the South, doubts the sincerity of the whites who make and administer the law. He found that everywhere there is prohibition for the Afro-American and license for the white. Dr. Haywood has sized up the situation exactly. A Northern man was once visiting a friend in the South and noticed that the friend had a great big pistol under his coat-tail. "Why, Jones," said he. "I thought your law prohibited carrying concealed weapons." "Yes, it does," said the friend, "but that law was made for HON. FRANK Representative Lowden Will Set U. Lincoln Representative Frank O.

The markers are to be of stone w Lowden's plan to have maps of the ter public records of the State of Illinois. niggers." And the so-called prohibition laws are made for "niggers." There is great excitement in Georgia. In many places white men and boys are in mobs on the streets and whenever they see an Afro-American man or woman wearing the badge of any secret order, they walk up and pull it off. Even members of the Grand Army of the Republic are not allowed to wear a brass button of their order. If they do they are sent to the chain gang for sixty days. This is said to be done by way of reprisal, because of the objections made by certain Northern Grand Army men to admitting the statue of Robert E. Lee to the Hall of Fame. Now just why the Afro-American should be held responsible for the action of some people in the North is a little hard to see. It is the opinion of THE APPEAL that General Lee would regard such petty meanness with abhorrence. Despite the fact that many have predicted that the man and brother would not be considered when the invitations were issued to come up to the pie counter, a number have been handed slices. The latest to come to our notice are: W. D. Johnson, editor of the Kentucky Standard, who has been appointed special agent of the Land Department at a salary of $2,000 per year and expenses; Nelson Crews of Kansas City, Mo., who has been appointed Special Agent in the Department of Agriculture at $2,000 per year and expenses. Let the good work go on, we can stand a few slices more and what is more to the point we deserve them. The one hundred thousand Afro-Americans of Washington City are either excluded from the theatres of that city or segregated in the peanut gallery, and in the case of one theatre are not permitted to enter at all. This is a great outrage, but the Afro-American Washingtonians, with all their wealth and intelligence lack the nerve to fight for their rights. Some white capitalists of Baltimore have decided to take advantage of existing conditions and build a theatre for Afro-Americans to cost $75,000. Senor Nabuco, the Brazilian Embassador who died at Washington suddenly, rendered conspicuous services in the cause of humanity. He was a member of the Brazilian parliament and between 1879 and 1888 was a leader in the movement which resulted in the abolition of slavery in Brazil. When he visited London some years since the Anti-Slavery Society gave a reception in his honor. "Pigs is pigs," is the title of a very funny story by a well known writer that highly anuses any one with a sense of humor who reads it. Hogs is Hogs, at $9.75 per hundred pounds, no one will gainsay; but we will bet a cookey that the people who have to buy them at that price see no fun in it. So, we are not to have Vardaman as a member of the United States senate. Good! He was beaten by one Lenoy Percy on the 58th ballot in the Mississippi legislature. Percy may be bad enough but he can scarcely be as bad as Vardaman. Peonage in its worst form is said to exist in at least twenty-five counties of Texas. The victims are botafl black and white. As our opinion of "Hell and Texas" coincides very closely with that of Gen. Sheridan, we find no difficulty in believing the reports. O. LOWDEN.

Such cultured, refined and intelligent Southern gentlemen as Tillman, Jeff Davis and Heflin continue to prate about the inferiority of the Afro-American. THE APPEAL-begs to call their attention to some recent doings of one of the "inferior" race, and a little girl at that. Estelle T. Gibbs, a fourteen-year-old black girl won the first prize, a gold medal, at the graduating exercises of the Hoboken, N. J., public schools. She had the highest average of any other public school pupil in the city—99% per cent in six subjects. In all but one of her studies the girl was rated at 100. In geography she made 96. The five branches in which she reached the maximum were history, civics, spelling, arithmetic and grammar. Eighteen questions were posted at the geography examination, and the pupils had the privilege of selecting ten to answer. The teacher who conducted the examination says that Estelle picked out the ten hardest. There are 10,000 Caucasian children and only 15 Afro-Americans in the public schools of Hoboken. We presume Mr. Vardaman, of Mississippi, is too busy trying to break into the United States Senate to pay much attention to this new evidence of Afro-American inferiority. A view of the town.

LINDEKE Republican Candidate for Nomination for Assemblyman. Mr. O. A. Lindeke is a son of O. H. Lindeke, of Lindeke, Warner & Sons, and was born and reared in St. Paul, where he received his education in the public schools. He is 40 years of age, and this is his second venture in politics. Two years ago he was a candidate for the same position, but faction to faction required number of votes. This time, he decided to do better and wants to get a chance by being nominated at the primaries. Kindly remember him. HANDY FOR CITY ASSEMBLY. Esteemed Newspaper Man Files as Candidate for City Job. Maj. W. C. Handy, who has passed the most of his mature years in St. Paul, and was for a long period managing editor of the Pioneer Press, has filed a candidate for membership in the city assembly on the Repub- [Picture of a man in a suit and tie]. lican ticket. He is altogether worthy of the support of all citizens who revere high character and clean methods in public life. Maj. Handy lives in the Fifth ward, but the people who know and esteem him all over the city will have a chance to vote for him, and if they succeed in nominating and electing him will have a man in the assembly on whom they can depend to do exactly what is right without fear or favor. He might be thoughtly that he fully relies to his needs, and in critical time like this is just the kind of man the community ought to have as one of its lawmakers and guardians of its interests. Maj. Handy is, besides, a gentleman of large attainments and a wide and comprehensive knowledge of public affairs. Both his natural inclination and his long connection with newspaper work have made him a student of national, state and local politics, and he has not spent his strength in vain in this respect. He has endeared himself to his modesty and entire absence of gasumption have, and it is creditable alike to them and to him that he has won the high regard in which he is held by his absolute straightforwardness and strict adherence to the loftiest ideals of manhood and good citizenship. The Elliotts' Grocery. Among the business people of St. Paul who deserve great credit for business sagacity, pluck and perseverance—three things needful in business—few stand out more prominently than Mrs. W. B. Elliott of 411 University avenue. A few years ago she built a little store front to her home and opened a little confectionery and notion store; and, by her exercise of the three business essentials above mentioned, succeeded beyond her most sanguine expectations. Some time ago she added groceries to her stock and her business increased accordingly. Quite recently she built a two-story addition north of her home, the upper part of which is a flat of the best condition. She has her grocery in the storeroom. The store is one of the very best in her neighborhood, being heated with hot water heat, hardwood finish throughout, and presents a splendid appearance. She has a large stock of the best staple and fancy groceries, vegetables, fruits, candies and con- fections of all kinds, cigars and smokers' articles, school supplies, periodicals, post cards, newspapers, ice cream and soda water, in fact almost any thing one might call for. And if you call for anything and she has not got it she will get it for you. She gives "Security Stamps" with cash or C. O. D. orders and next week a large display of the security premiums will be made in her large window. The business has grown to such dimensions that Mr. Elliott devotes his time to it and she has as clerks Misses Frances Elliott and Lizzie Tayler and Master Keemer Chook. All orders, whether given in person or by phone promptly delivered. Mr. and Mrs. Elliott deserve much credit and the people should show that they appreciate their efforts by patronizing them. Tel. N.

Church On Wednesday evening, Club 16, the Improvement Club of St. James A. M. E. church will give a treat to the public in the form of a GRAND PRASS BAND CONCERT by the I. X. L. Band, supplemented by other numbers furnished by some of the best talent. This entertainment will be somewhat unique in church entertainments and ought to test the capacity of the church.

C., of his appointment as clerk in that service in Washington, and to report at once. Mr. Moore is one of the very first to be selected and is to be congratulated. This is another instance which shows the alertness of Mr. Fred D. McCracken, secretary to Representative Stevens. McCracken is always on the job and when anything turns up he always sees to it that out people secure their share. We must not forget when the next congressional campaign comes around that a vote for Congressman Stevens means a vote for Fred D. McCracken, his very efficient and popular secretary. PETER H. BURKE THE I. X. L. BAND Will Give a Grand Musical Entertainment at Tschida Hall. The I. X. L.

At the close of the band concert dancing will begin and continue until 2 a.m. Two grand prizes will be given, one for the best waltz and one for the best twostep. Admission 35 cents. The Next Attraction at the Grand Theatre. Magic is one of the greatest forms of entertainment in the world and America has the credit of producing the greatest magicians of the past century. The names of Herrmann and Kellar were common in every household for the past twenty years, but today the name of Thurston is synonymous to magic greatness. When the great Kellar a few years ago decided to retire and enjoy his well earned rest, he looked about for a worthy successor and it was with a feeling of doubt as well as regret that he questioned the many applicants for the "Mantle of Magic" he [Picture of a man with straight hair, wearing a suit and tie.] - Thurston, the World's Greatest Magician, at the Grand Next Week was about to discard, for few seemed likely to meet the public's requirements. His period of dubiety, however, passed away when Thurston accepted the eward and sought by skill and fitness the honored throne by this magician. Thurston is the ideal magician, quiet, impressive and magnetic. He creates wonder after wonder until the audience question the veracity of their own eyes and leave the theater impressed with the belief that he is endowed by some miraculous power to be able to perform his many wonderful effects. This season Thurston's program contains many new illusions, among which may be mentioned the "Indian Rope Trick," which will have its premier production in this city and which for the past twenty years has been the reigning sensation of India. Andy and the Lion" is another masterpiece this season, which necessitates the use of all grown African lion, imported for the accurate presentation of this wonderful illusion. It is certain that Thurston's many magic surprises will be the talk of our city the coming week. Commencing Sunday matinee, Feb. 27. [Image of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. Col. Robert H.

O'Brien, filed for the democratic nomination for judge of the municipal court. He is a son of Lieut. Ernest Boerner, of the Rondo street police station. He has lived in the Eighth ward twenty-five years. He was elected in 1903 from the St. Paul College of Law, and entered practice, as a partner of R. G. O'Malley. ```markdown ``` JOHN W. BOERNER.
