WOULD SAVE RELIC Society Starts Movement to Preserve Billopp House. Scene of Only Peace Conference in America During Revolutionary War May Become a New York Institution. New York.—For the preservation of one of the most notable historical landmarks in the country, the Billopp house at Tottenville, Staten Island, the members of the Philemon Literary society of the town are actively working. Through their efforts and with the assistance of Assemblyman Bain, the representative of that district, a lawmaker, the president of a lawmaking state a state appropriation of $25,000 with which to buy the house and some ten or a dozen acres of ground. "The Old Stone House," as the place is called locally, is associated with one of the most interesting events of the revolution, a situation full of grim humor so far as the Americans were concerned, but a source of bitter humiliation to Lord Howe. After the failure of Benjamin Franklin's mission the representative of the colonies Lost Land, a royal pacificer, and early in 1776 he sailed for America with the boast that within ten days of his arrival peace would ensue. He reached New York in July, 1776. On July 9 the Declaration of Independence, signed July 4, was read to the American troops and to the citizens of New York. On the evening of that day a statue of George III., placed at the foot of Broadway, was torn down, and the other British officers saw that the American forces in a decisive battle before an attempt for peace could be made. On August 27, 1776, the battle of Long Island was fought and won by the British. At once a proposition for a peace conference on neutral ground was proposed. Benjamin Franklin, John Adams and Edward Rutledge were selected to represent congress and the Billopp house was decided on as the place of meeting. In the front room, overlooking the Kill van Kull, Lord Howe and the American representatives met. It was the only peace conference Historic Billopp House. attempted on American soil in connection with the revolutionary war. Its failure marked the final parting of the ways between Great Britain and her American colonies. Not only this notable historical event makes the building of peculiar interest. It is picturesque, and many fascinating traditions hang about the stone walls, strong enough yet to last 100 years more, but the quaint old shelving roof of the veranda, upheld of late by pillars, is practically out of commission, the roof is open to the elements in spots and the plastering is broken in many places. But the deep embossed windows, the curious windows, the walls, the small paned sashes and the fastenings are still intact. In this house, tradition tells us was the case in those days, the latch-string does literally hang out. By the pulling of the knotted cord the wooden latch is raised, but at night a strong oaken beam bars the door effectually against unwelcome guests. Big fireplaces are a feature of all the rooms. The kitchen in the basement boasts of one the entire width of the house. Here the long crane of hand-wrought iron, holding two kettles of mammoth dimensions, is still to be seen. Logs of tree length could easily have been disposed of within the fireplace, of this fireplace, but it would appear as much cold air must have come in driven out by the blazing logs, since it was open to the heavens above, with no obstruction. Quintestion of all is a really, truly dungeon of masonry built off from the cellar beneath the main entrance of the house. Here persistent tradition has it that colonial prisoners were confined and cruelly treated, for the Billops were sympathizers with the crown, and for some time British soldiers were quartered in the house, which was built in 1695. Elimination of Sailing Vessel. The rapid elimination of the sailing vessel is shown by statistics recently given by a German paper. In the 20 years between 1888 and 1908 the percentage of sailing vessels has declined in the merchant marine of Great Britain from 44.1 to 12.6; of Germany, from 6.21 to 0.51; of the United States, from 30.7 to 30.5; in one merchant marine of France, however, but little change has occurred, the respective percentages being 47.9 and 47.3. ```markdown ``` TELLS OF SOUTH POLE TRIP Lieut. Shackleton, Who Got Within 111 Miles, Says Scarcity of Food Stopped Him. Washington — Lieut. Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton, the British explorer who got within 111 miles of the south pole a year ago in January, and who recently was knighted for his work in the arctic regions, arrived from Europe several days ago and was brought to Washington with Lady Shackleton. The lieutenant was presented to President Taft by the British ambassador, and received from him the medal voted by the National Geographical society. Sir Ernest would not talk about Dr. Cook. He said he believed Peary had reached the north pole, and thought Lieut. Sir Ernest Shackleton. Capt. Robert F. Scott, who commanded the British national antarctic expedition of 1900-04, and who will start out this summer on another south polar quest, would have no difficulty in reaching his goal. "All that stopped us from getting there," said Sir Ernest, "was the lack of 50 pounds of food. With that we could have kept on. There were only four of us, but we were on a reduced food allowance from November 14 to February 2. In the desperate effort to make our supply last, we came down to a ration of 16 ounces a day. This was too little to keep the heat and the temperatures, and we had to advance the allowance to 20 ounces. Even this was too little. "I had to cut down the provisions and stores to a minimum. We started out with tinned jam and sardines and an English pudding for Christmas day, and then had to cache them at our first depot. We did not eat the Christmas pudding until on our way back, when we had our first square meal in more than three months. We had been hungry continuously all the time. "Dogs are failures in the antarctics," the explorer said, in answer to a question. This is on account of the drift. We make another expedition I would completely nothing over the last time except that I would get a stronger vessel. "Anything alive? Well, the only thing I discovered was the colombia. That in plain English is the snow flea. He doesn't bite. Do I believe it possible to reach the south pole in an airship? Well, there would have to be a lot of experimenting first."

When he was six years old the village of Walthall was established in the woods nearby and the Guests came there to live. Young Tom attended a small school set among the trees outside of the village. creeks and pines, a stocky, gray-eyed little fellow, who could outrun any of his companions. When he was six years old the village of Walthall was established in the woods nearby and the Gore family went there to live. Young Tom at a small school set among the trees outside of the village. At the age of eight years the boy's left eye was blinded by an accidental blow from a stick. Three years later he was employed as a page in the Mississippi legislature boarded at the house of Senator J. Z. George J. Jackson. One day, while playing with a crossbow he entered his right eye and destroyed his sight. In spite of his affliction young Gore managed to stand at the head of his class in school and at the age of 17 years entered a normal school which was opened. Here he gradually became totally blind, yet he mastered the high school course. While Gore was attending the high school his closest companion was a classmate, Charles H. Pittman, his youth used to read to him. One day they found an old volume of the Congressional Record. Gore to the stable, the blind student would stand for hours while Pittman read to him the speeches of the lawmakers at Washington. During that winter Gore and his sister taught school for a few months. All the while his mother, a bedridden invalid, read to him history, biography and other subjects connected with his political plans, and he would sit by the bed, a strange smile on his blind countenance, dreaming and brooding and waiting for the day when he might take part in the great battle of politics like other men. His greatest chance came in the spring of 1891. The Populist movement was spreading rapidly and he joined it. The state campaign for a legislature to elect a United States senator he took up the cause of Barkskale against George, although as a boy he had lived in the village. In September of that year he went to the law school at Cumberland university, Tennessee, and studied law for ten months. He was one of the leading six students in a class of 42. This experience cost him $331 and he returned to his Mississippi village with only 25 cents in his pocket, in a suit of clothes he had worn for 14 months. He had almost been compelled to leave the law school months before for the lack of suitable clothing. Yet his unenchainable ambition to reach the United States senate grew more intense as the difficulties of his situation increased. Gore's father had taken up the practice of law in Walthall and, on returning from the law school in 1892 the youth was welcomed as an assistant in the office. That year, too, he was presidential elector on the Populist ticket, attacked Grover Cleveland on the stump and carried his county. The practice of law was not an inspiring occupation in Walthall. There were actually 45 lawyers in that small, poor village. The blind advocate tried a few cases. After a two years' effort to earn a living as a lawyer in the place of his birth Gore decided to go to Texas. Having saved $40, he started in April, 1894, for Texarkana, arriving there an absolute stranger with only $21 in his pocket. He secured a being house and promptly offered himself to the Populist state, where in the approaching state and county elections, his political speeches brought in money enough to pay his expenses, but he found no chance to practice law. In the winter he went back to Walthall and for a year made another desperate effort to win success as a lawyer. He was nominated for congress by the Populists, but was defeated. Yet his speeches in the campaign attracted much attention. On the last day of the year 1896 the sightless and unsuccessful lawyer decided to abandon the THE B BY JAMES CREELMAN HE visitor to Washington who looks down from the gallery upon the sleepy, green-carpeted senate is sure to be impressed and puzzled, if not actually thrilled, by the presence of a blind man in that droning citadel of federalism; a senator without power to see, the youngest member of the "American house of lords," representing the youngest state in the Union. If the story of Senator Gore of Oklahoma could serve no other purpose than to illustrate how a brave heart and persistent ambition can overcome even the greatest difficulties in life it would be worth telling. Loyalty to a set purpose, maintained resolutely through 25 years of bitter struggle, raised this poor blind American boy to a seat in the most distinguished law-making body in the world, although he sometimes lived on the verge of starvation. Nothing could shake his determination to be a sgn- man. He had no eyes, but he had a tongue, but had no money, but he had courage. He had courage, but he had a high ambition. He could not see the world about him, but he had a smile to win it, a perseverance to compel its admiration and support. A few months after Mississippi was readmitted to the Union in 1870 Thomas Prory Gore was born on an 80-acre farm 30 miles from the nearest railway. Here the boy grew up among the struggle in his native spot and to go back to Texas. Before leaving Walthall he made a vow that he would never enter the village again until he could return to his neighbors a United States senator. That year in Texas was a hard one. Gore threw himself into politics with passionate energy. He was a delegate to the Populist convention at St. Louis which nominated Mr. Bryan and the second nomination. In December, 1896, he and his brother opened a law office. It was a fierce struggle with the world. His father, mother and brother lived with him. Sometimes they were without a single dollar. In April, 1899, Gore's fortunes had sunk so low that he appeared in the street with frayed clothing, broken shoes and a visage white with a nose and a newed seemed as though he had come face to face with actual starvation, when an old negro woman paid $2 which she owed him and that saved the situation. When Mr. Bryan was nominated at Kansas City in 1900 Gore found his way to the crowd that surrounded the convention. He was now a Democrat. It might help him on his way to the senate if he could make speeches in the neighborhood of a national convention. Hurrying on to South Dakota—he had only $7 left when he got there—Gore went to the state convention in the engagement to speak in the state during the presidential campaign. In this way he picked up $1,000. Then he went back to Texas and married a beautiful girl. "It was love at first sight," he said, laughingly. After the presidential campaign was over rapidly, nca for a teacher he George, house, act.

After Gore's $1,000, earned in the South Dakota tour, soon melted away, and little money came in to take its place. In 1901 things went so badly with him and his senatorial prospects seemed so dim, that when an advertisement of an auction of land lots in the newly opened Kiowa, Comanche and Apache reservation in Oklahoma appeared in the newspapers he decided to leave Texas and pursue his great ambition in the new country. As a first step the elder Gore, now a whitehair man, went to Oklahoma and became a notary public in the hope of earning fees from the land-crazy crowds. In July, 1901, the blind driver 45 miles away for Ford. For the Gore lived in a tent with his father and brother in the midst of an excited crowd. His father sat inside as a notary, while he, attired in an alpaca coat, colored shirt and slouch hat, walked up and down before the tent, waving his hand and shouting, "Here's where you get your papers out! Here's the right place to get your paper!" In the daytime he entreated the crowd; at night he slept on the ground. Failing to draw a land claim, the Gores moved out four miles to Lawton, an encampment on the open prairie. Here 15,000 persons were living in tents where the wild-blue-stem grass was high. It was a Babylon of gamblers, fakirs, farmers and business men, all waiting for the opening of the land on August 6.

Three days after the lots were sold and while Lawton was still a tented camp, there was another political mass meeting, this time in the big tent of Dick Russell, a saloon keeper. Gore was there and offered a resolution favoring the ad-hoc protection of Indian territory to the Union as a single state. A few days later and the men of Lawton organized a citizen's committee to get a charter and organize a city government. Of course Gore was there and of course he was on the committee. Then a commercial club was organised by the tent dwellers and Gore was on the committee to draft by-laws. He missed no opportunity that might lead to the senate.

MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY. Lawton in October Gore was still in his tent. His wife fell sick and for four months he was her only nurse, save when their baby came in January. When they moved into their own cottage and furnished it with a stove and a few articles of furniture they had only $1 left. They had to rent three of their five rooms. The baby was born in desperately cold weather in a room heated only by a tiny cook stove. It lived only 17 days and was buried on the prairie. That winter tried the man in him. For months he and his fair, young wife lived on scanty portions of bread, beans and beef, with syrup made of sugar dissolved in water dessert. All through this time his wife encouraged his political ambitions. In April, 1902, Gore managed to go as a delegate to the territorial convention that was to choose a delegate to congress from Oklahoma and a speech in response to the welcome of the mayor of Enid so struck the fancy of the delegates at that there was a movement to make him the choice of the convention. He declined the honor in favor of others. It was a shrewd move and counteranced the fact that he was a newcomer in Oklahoma, his result was that he was elected to the territorial senate. The fight for a seat in the United States senate is now pressed systematically. Having introduced a child labor bill in the legislature and desired his friendship for organized labor, Gore sent the year 1903 in widening his acquaintances, ending pencils, barbecues and county fairs, leasing for anything from $5 to $25, shaking hands with the crowds and smiling his way into their arts. Then came the presidential campaign of 1904 and Gore got $4 or $5 a day from the Democrats speaking in Indiana, Ohio and Illinois. He had desire to go back to the territorial legislature, ending pencils, barbecues and county fairs. "I won't go to Washington till I go with the throat to speak and vote in the senate," he said. The statehood bill was passed by congress in 1906. The political air of Oklahoma was full of razors' as the struggle for the two new partnerships began with the primary campaign to act a legislature. Gore's opponents were both men, who spent their money freely. He lay in Guthrie, borrowing money to pay the 50 a week which it cost him to live. Being at the capital, he met men from all over the state was able to make shrewd combinations. It was a tragic thing to see a blind man harried in fighting against his rich rivals, a banker and lawyer, but, however inwardly, Gore grew up to see what anything pathetic in his situation. His friends lent him to abandon his ambition for a time and run for congress. That winter tried the man in him. For months he and his fair, young wife lived on scanty portions of bread, beans and beef liver, and syrup made of sugar dissolved in water for dessert. All through this time his wife encouraged his political ambitions. In April, 1902, Gore managed to go as a delegate to the territorial convention that was to choose a delegate to congress from Oklahoma and his speech in response to the welcome of the mayor of Enid so struck the fancy of the delegates that there was a movement to make him the choice of the convention. He declined the honor in favor of others. It was a shrewd move and counterbalance that he was a newcomer in Oklahoma. The result was that he was elected to the territorial senate. The fight for a seat in the United States senate was now pressed systematically. Having introduced a child labor bill in the legislature and declared his friendship for organized labor, Gore spent the year 1903 in widening his acquaintance, attending picnics, barbecues and county fairs, lecturing for anything from $5 to $25, shaking hands with the crowds and smiling his way into their hearts. Then came the presidential campaign of 1904 and Gore got $4 or $5 a day from the Democrats for speaking Indiana, Ohio and Illinois. He had no desire to go to the territorial legislature, knowing that his great ambition could be better served by the publicity of service in the national campaign. Gore fought hard for Oklahoma's admission to the Union. No man was more active in the agitation. But he would not go to the national capital. "I won't go to Washington till I go with the right to speak and vote in the senate," he said. The statehood bill was passed by congress in 1806. Then the political air of Oklahoma was "full of razors" as the struggle for the two new senatorships began with the primary campaign to elect a legislature. Gore's opponents were both men, who spent their money freely. He stayed Guerrilla money to pay the $4.50 a week which it cost him, being at the capital, he met men from all over the state and was able to make shrewd combinations. It was a tragic thing to see a blind man harassed by poverty fighting against his rich rivals, one a banker and the other a lawyer, but, however he bleed inward, Gore gave no sign that he saw anything pathetic in his situation. His friends wanted him to abandon his ambition for a time and run for congress. "It is the senate or nothing," he replied. In 1807, he began to make speeches all over the state. He spoke on street corners, from the tops of boxes, from cart tails, anywhere, everywhere, night and day. The leading newspapers ignored while his rivals were able to buy advertising space and one of them hired brass bands, opera houses and advance agents. In March he mortgaged his house for $1,000, but the money was soon gone. To get his name on the primary ballot, In April, 1907, he began to make speeches all over the state. He spoke on street corners, from the tops of boxes, from cart tails, anywhere, everywhere, night and day. The leading newspapers ignored him, while his rivals were able to buy advertising space and one of them hired brass bands, opera houses and advance agents. In March he had cases for $1,000, but the money was soon gone. To get his on the primary ballot, under the rules of the Democratic state, he had to pay $375. But on the last day allowed for the payment he found himself with only $8. In sheer desperation he made out his check for $375 and paid it in. A Mr. Young saved him by raising the money to meet the check. As the voting drew near the blind candidate's circumstances became more desperate than ever. He was spending about $24 a week for traveling expenses. To get out of money at that stage of the fight would have been fatal. He made from two to four speeches a day, although he would stop to pay for the save paying for a bed, and ate only one meal a day. He would go from one day to another on chess and crackers carried in his grippack. So great was the physical ordeal that lost 30 pounds weight. Gore won his fight in the primary election and was elected to the United States senate by the legislature, drawing the short term. The struggle oocat him $1,100, exclusive of the $75 he paid to get his name on the primary ballot. One of his opponents is said to have spent $75,000. It was a grand day for Oklahoma when her blind man got into the United States senate. He went home and was re-elected. When he reached the end of the cheering crowd surrounded the carriage and no one came to their cottage. As roar after roar broke on the air he turned to his wife and whispered, "They don't seem to know that it's only me." $2.40 PER YEAR WHY A CHILD LIES Fibs Told by Boys and Girls Explained. Dr. Amy E. Tanner Has 1,000 Instances of Juvenile "Stories"—Says Some Untruths Should Be Encouraged. Boston.—"Now, Willie, tell mother exactly how many dogs there were fighting in the back yard!" Willie's mamma怒责 consciously. "A St. Bernard dog, with big ears, and fr-r-r-rightfully long teeth, and a little curly dog—and several others—that is you—see well, there were six dogs anyway, some of the black ones and the rest of them kinder spotty—"Willi-am," comments mamma. "Anyway, there were a lot of dogs, cause I seen 'em, there was—Well, I don't care, there was our dog, and the Jones dog, and they almost had a fight." And Willie's mamma worries at Willie's untruths and guesses that Willie's Sunday school teacher isn't doing all she ought to, and Willie's papa who has, well, just about as feeling as most men—just explodes in a hearty laugh, and all the neighbors triumphantly exclaim: "What a dreadful story-teller that little Smith boy is getting to be." If Willie's mamma is following the work of the new children's institution at Clark university, Worcester, she will get some light on her troubles. "Why children lie" is a mystery which is being annexed to the realm of science. Dr. Amy E. Tanner, a graduate of the University of Michigan and doctor of philosophy, who heads the department of experimental pedagogy at the new institute, has made a study of this particular problem. Her carefully collected data include over 1,000 lies. They are lies of every order, the pale ones, the deep-dyed ones, the "oney" ones, and the very lurid flights of the youthful Munchausen. Dr. Tanner believes that if these fabs were rightly understood there would be no anxiety among conscientious mammals. "Every mother," said Dr. Tanner, "knows that sometimes her little boy tells lies. She does not acknowledge it sometimes, and she doesn't know why he does. It would be perfectly possible for her to punish him unjustly. There are some lies, you know, that should be encouraged. "Yes, indeed, these lies are developing the child's imagination. "For a long time children's lies have been made an object of study, and by many scientists. My data are made from 1,000 to 1,500 observations, or brief accounts of things that were actually seen. It is such interesting work and we get such funny stories sometimes. You know a lie is not just a plain lie. There are lies and lies. "For instance, there are the lies that are nothing more than the workings of fancy. A little boy comes home and tells his mother that he heard his kitty talking to his neighbor's kitty. A child hears a fairy story and will go on with it. There are any number of these childish fancies, which are merely the working of the imagination. "The mother who does not recognize this and who spans her little boy for saying that his kitty talked to the neighbor's kitty does wrong. "That is another kind of lie that is very interesting when the child tells you what he would like to have happen instead of what really happens. For instance, you ask: What occurred out on the walk? And he will tell you that a kitten was playing with a ball. "Then you say 'and' as if asking for more, and very likely he will tell you about another kitten. If you keep on saying 'and—and—and' he will keep it up as long as you do."

THE SOUTHERN PRIMARIES For a time the Southern Democrats were mightly jubilant over the adoption of the primaries and they whooped themselves hoarse. They "licked" that it would relieve them from the machinations of Republicans, Afro-Americans and other undesirable citizens and insure harmony of the most desirable kind in the ranks of the party. But the halcyon anticipations have gone glimmering like the comet of A. D. 1910. Wherefore? Simply because the primary system doesn't stop them from cheating, but seems to stimulate the most audacious performances in that line, and they are cheating with a vim and a gusto and an unanimity unheard of. Several of the Southern states are having a terribile time over the primaries. "SAME AS WHITE FOLKS." During the recent trial of Will Cole M.

The judge declined to grant the request. Our Caucasian friends would do well to note the desire of these women to act "same as white folks." There is a good deal in it. A great number of the crimes of the Afro-Americans in the South is due to the desire of the Afro-American to do the "same as the white folks." RACE PR I am convincing that no one present will Prejudice; none deliberately—it single thing in tities and holds baseness, cruelty than in any other body runs the coarse lust, gus and persecution darkest poisons soul. G. V THE REASON WHY. More acres each year are "turned out," left to the grass, the gullies, and the loblolly pines. No labor to cultivate them—that is all. There are stretches of the richest soil in Alabama in which a plow has not been stuck for five years. There is no labor to grow cotton. The Montgomery Advertiser thus pictures and laments the situation in Alabama. But that paper does not explain the cause of that condition, though, it knows all about it. The politicians of the state are responsible for that condition, for it is the natural result of their uniring efforts to jincrow the Afro-American, under the influence of a pretended fear of "Negro Domination" and "social equality," they have made the condition of the laborer little less than a condition of peonage and compelled him to flee from the state. They have tried to remedy by importing foreigners; but the foreigners seem to think with Hosa Bigelow: "Taint a known' kind of cattle That is kotched with mostly corn --- The entente cordiale existing between the two great powers, the states of Texas and Arkansas has been rudely jestled by different estimates of the length of the comet's tail.

I am convinced myself that there is no more evil thing in this present world than Race Prejudice; none at all. I write deliberately—it is the worst single thing in life now. It justifies and holds together more baseness, cruelty and abomination than any other sort of error in the world.

Our mongrel friend, Jimmy Vardaman, who is half Indian, has an article in a February magazine on miscegenation. That reminds THE APPEAL of the remark of an old physician, who said: "When I get hold of a case I don't understand I always throw the patient into fits, because I'm h— on fits," Vardmann is h— on miscegenation. The recent order of the Russian government to segregate the Jews shows that in spite of the wealth and learning of the race, the Jews are still subjects of persecution. Those Afro-Americans who favor race segregation are making a great mistake—their children will suffer from the prescriptions they now encourage. "AS HE WAS, NOT AS HE IS." Maj. Holmes Conrad of Winchester, Va., addressing a meeting of Confederates, said: "We love the Negro as he was, not as he is." The sentiment was applauded with vigor by the men who sought to destroy the Union. That's the Southern idea. When the Afro-American was a slave a good able-bodied man was worth $1,500 or $2,000 and that's why he was "loved." Now that the Afro-American has some freedom—he is not yet absolutely free—and is acquiring property and educating his children he isn't "loved" by the Southerner. He's becoming "a menace to Caucasian civilization." 1930 Be Ten Millions Less Than Last Year Is Mr. Hitchcock's Hope. tmaster general, makes the prediction year of the present administration of stal deficit has decreased by more was $17,4080,000. ed on the auditor's returns of postal half of the current fiscal year and quarter. reduction of expenses under Mr. Republican Candidate for Alderman of the Eighth Ward.

Mr. Editor: While in a reminiscent mood, recently, I was reminded that THE APPEAL was started in the year 1885 and therefore will pass the 25th milestone of its existence this year. What a number of interesting events have taken place during these twenty-five years, what wonderful advancements have been made by the Afro-American citizens of the Twin Cities in all lines of life! And as I was one of its early promoters and know much of its history, I believe it is no small thing for a newspaper to live for a quarter of a century under the circumstances have surrounded THE APPEAL, and so to me that some sort of elephant to the court would be eminently fit and proper, and I also believe that the citizens of the Twin Cities whom you have served so faithfully and well would gladly join in making the event one long to be remembered. My idea is that a souvenir edition of THE APPEALE be published continuing a chronological history of the events that have transpired during its existence, cuts and sketches of prominent men and women, cuts of the beautiful homes that so many have become the happy possessors of and numerous other matters of interest that would make such an edition a most valuable one for us all. Then as a grand finale a public testimonial celebration in some large hall on the anniversary day of THE APPEALS' bith or such other day that in your judgment is more suitable, in which may take a part in making the event one of the largest ever held here. I would suggest, if the idea meets your approval, that you select a number of persons to act as a committee to carry out such plans as I have advanced or as you may deem most advisable. Replying to your letter above, I beg leave to state that I heartily concur in all you say, and from the expressions which have come to me during the past week I believe that the Quarto-Centennial celebration of THE APPEAL can be made a great event if the people will only take hold of it in the right spirit. The suggestions which you made as to the souvenir edition and grand final public testimonial cannot well be improved upon, but as it will require some time to carry them out properly I cannot. now, select a date for the same, but will do so later on. and in the meanwhile will proceed to select a committee, etc., to carry out the admirabie suggestions you have made. Very respectfully. J. Q. Adams, Editor. Ladies and Gentlemen Now is the most important time to take a Tonic and Blood Purifier. Have you heard of Patty's HERB TEA and PATTY'S BLOOD BUILDER?

SPLENDID SUNDAY SCHOOL COM- MENTARY Among the recent outputs of the National Baptist Publishing Board in the way of Sunday school helps is the National Baptist Sunday School Lesson Commentary. This book is sin its 7th volume and is published annually by this concern, being edited by R. H. Boyd, D. D. LLD., Secretary National Baptist Publishing Board with Rev. W. S. Ellington, B. A., D. D., Associate Editor. The book for 1910 embraces the usual far-searing helps for the Sunday school workers. Both editor and associate editor have made it what cannot be claimed for other commentaries, strictly orthodox and purely baptistic. The splendid feature is that each lesson has both the authorized and revised texts. It is suggestive, illustrative and fully comprehensive. The commentary contains the lessons and metto texts for 1911, which really puts the book twelve months in advance. All of the work done on this periodical is by Afro-Americans who are now past masters in their professions. Lawyer Harvey B. Burk, has opened a law office in room 528 Boston Block, cor. Hennepin Ave. and Third street and is prepared to take charge of cases in any of the courts of the state. "FROM COTTON FIELD TO PLATFORM" And the Oratorical Contest a Big Success. What was, perhaps, the largest audience that has graced Pilgrim Baptist at a paid admission affair was present last Thursday evening to witness the presentation of "From Cotton Felds to Platform" and the "Big Oratorical Contest," which was managed by Messrs. C. H. Miller and John Monamous. And to say that the vast audience was delighted is drawing it very mild indeed, for it certainly was great from start to finish, and the managers and performers collectively individually are entitled to the highest praise. Prof. W. A. Weir entertained, during the long wait for the performance to begin, with some of his choice selections on the piano. Hubbard and Morgan's orchestra also entertained with some fine readings of up-to-date music. Rev. E. H. McDonald, the pastor, made a few pertinent remarks. Mrs. Bettie Patterson Jones ticked everybody with her recitations from Dunbar. Mr. John A. Monamous also gave a fine recitation. Mr. Arthur V. Hall as schoolmaster, with his sextette of school girls, made a great BIG hit. The solist, Mme. Addie Crawford Minor, Miss Hattie Loomis, Mrs. May Mason, Mr. S. Ransom and Mr. S. E. Hall, covered themselves with glory. Misses Anna Duncan and Eugene Davis rendered a sweet duet. Mr. C. H. Miller gave a very laughable stunt in which an automobile and a hen played conspicuous parts. The second part of the performance consisted of remarks by Mr. F. L. McGhee and the great oratorical coaster, the contestants and their subjects being as follows: Mr. E. J. Murphy, "The Conservation of Natural Resources," Mrs. G. K. Grissom, "Woman in Her Sphere"; Miss Grace Thompson, "The March of Man's Progress"; Mr. F. L. D. Parker, "The Opportunities of the Negro"; Mr. Samuel Ransom, "Man's New Era of Thought." The orations were all masterpieces and were roundly applauded. The judges, however, decided Mrs. G. K. Grissom was entitled to the first prize of $5.00, Mr. F. L. D. Parker to the second of $2.00 and Miss Grace Thompson to the third of $1.00. The audience was perfectly satisfied with the awards of the judges. The delightful affair then closed with a piano duet by Misses Adina and Margaret Adams. The presentation of prizes was made by Mr. F. L. McGhee. The usual refreshments were served in the Sunday school room closing one of the finest entertainments ever witnessed in Pilgrim church.

It was at the great battle of Actium, "Undone!" gasped Cleopatra, from her position at the bow of the ship. "Undone!" "Great Caesar!" signaled the startled Antony. "Has an enemy betrayed us?" "Worse than that, Mark. There are two buttons off my waist in the back. I have just seen them in my hand mirror and I could never think of going through the battle in such a condition. Ho, slaves, back to Egypt!** This is the real reason why the ship of Cleopatra was seen to withdraw from action and retreat under full sail. Atlantic Also "Western Ocean." It is a curious fact that sailors of the English speaking nations often speak of the Atlantic as the "western ocean."

On Saturday, April 2, Mrs. Priscilla Conway, widow of the late Peter Conway, died of acute Bright's disease of the kidneys at the city hospital, aged 38 years. She was a daughter of Mrs. Irene Drummond, who a year or so ago moved to Seattle, Wash. She was without any means or provisions for burial, and out of regard for the fact that her husband was a prominent Odd Fellow and was also a member of the Household of Ruth, these societies took the matter up and arranged for the funeral of the deceased, which took place at Lyles' undertaking establishment Wednesday afternoon, April 6. There was quite a large gathering of the friends of the deceased present and there was a number of beautiful floral offerings. Rev. A. H. Lealtad and Rev. H. S. Graves conducted the services, Mr. Eugene Dew of Columbia, Mo., sang a solo, "Free as a Bird." Interment at Forest cemetery. Through the efforts of Household of Ruth 553, the sum of $78.15 was raised as follows: Household $20, Pilgrim Baptist church $6.40, St. James A. M. E. church $1.12, Mrs. Julia Cotton $0.00, Mr. A. S.

Thus a nice burial was provided by the charity loving organizations and individuals which reflects great credit upon all. "God loves a cheerful giver." PETER H. BURKE WILLIAM H. FARNHAM, Republican Candidate for City Comptroller. Mr. William H. Farnham in his candidacy for city comptroller furnishes an instance of a man of high competency, setting aside his personal feelings at the call of a duty that was set before him. Pressure was brought to bear upon him by business men and Republican leaders to file for the nomination which he won by a majority that was astonishing in the case of a man who never before raed for office. He carried every ward in the city and even every prefect except one in which only six votes were cast as to that particular office. He is an auditor and accountant of prominent ability and a man of fine character and reputation in this community, where he has resided for nearly forty years. PETER H. BURTON Mr. Lewis L. Drill, who is familiarly known as "Lew" Drill, was formerly catcher for the St. Paul Base Ball team. He, however, now is a practicing attorney-at-law, with offices in the New York Life building. He was born in Minnesota on a farm. He received his education at Hamline University, graduating in 1901, and later from Georgetown college of Law at Washington, D. C., in 1903. He lawed one year in Washington and then in Seattle, then came to St. Paul, where he has since made his home. He has always been a Republican and is a member of the Lincoln and Roosevelt clubs. This is his first venture in politics and he solicits your support. PETER H. BURKE Hon. Hugo O.

DR. VALDO TURNER Performs a Major Operation at St. Joseph's Hospital Successfully. Mrs. Charles Alexander, of 93 Summit avenue, who has been suffering from a chronic affliction for a number of years and who was operated upon about four years ago, unsuccessfully, on last Thursday underwent an operation at the hands of Dr. Valdo Turner at St. Joseph's hospital, which proved to be perfectly successful. The operation was performed before the medical staff of the hospital and several prominent physicians, who congratulated Dr. Turner upon the skill with which he handled the case. The standing which Dr. Turner has with the medical fraternity and the hospitals of the city, to all of which he is a constant and welcome visitor, is one of which the Afro-Americans may well be proud, and it refutes the idea that many benighted individuals have that Afro-American physicians are not the equals of those of any other nationality. Mr. and Mrs. Alexander, whose physician Dr. Turner has been for about two years, are highly pleased with the result of this operation. MADAM E.Azalia Hacklev The Greatest Afro-American Concert Singer. Will Be Here April 20. As has been stated several times in THE APPEAL, that Mme. E. Azalia Hackley, the greatest Afro-American concert singer in the United States, will appear in St. Paul on Wednesday evening, April 20th. A large number of circular letters have been to the club of the Twin City asking them to subscribe so that the affair may have a guaranteed success. It is confidently hoped to make this affair the most cheerful musical event ever occurring here. And as the citizens must show interest in a tangible way, THE APPEAL will publish the names of all who respond to the request in the aforementioned letters. Did you, reader, get one of those letters? If not, send a postal card bearing your name and address and the word "Hackley" on it to Jose H. Sherwood, 130 W. Arch street, and you will be supplied. The citizens should disprove the general impression that seems to prevail! that our people will not show appreciation of the talented of the race by attending this concert in large numbers. The persons who subscribe in advance for the worthy event will have their names placed on the Roll of Honor. The subscribers thus far follow: Roll of Honor. Mr. and Mrs. Allen French. Mr. and Mrs. J.

"THE LADY BUCCANEERS." The Next Attraction at the Star Theatre. One of the biggest and best attractions booked at the Star Theatre on April 10 is "The Lady Buccaneers," a brand new girls queenburles, offered for the first time this season. The piece is in two uprightic acts, and the fun is fast and furious from start to finish. The beauty chorus numbers a quarter of a hundred, and every member is handsome, shapely and vivacious. The dances offered are new and the ensemble numbers are especially beautiful. The scenic surroundings are elegant, and there is a stomp of elegance and style about the piece that has never been equaled before in the burlesque field. The all-star is another feature of unusual excellence; a marion Blake, who presents stories and plays, has an interesting budget of good in the to offer, and presents them in a fashionable manager. Alvin and Kenney, a comedy acrobatic team, offer some inducible tumbling and other features that are warranted to cause much laughter; the Peerless Macks and Helen Van Burca, "The Girl in the Golden Dress," and Hanson and Bonet are also in the bill, and have novelties to offer. Joseph K. Watson is the principal comedian and manages to keep the audience in a constant uproar of laughter. FISKE O'HARA The Next Attraction at the Grand Theatre. Fiske O'Hara, with his genial manner, magnetic influence and sweet tenor voice, will be welcomed at the Grand the week of April 17 in his own production of "The Wearing of the Green," said to be the very best effort of Theodore Burt Sayre, the well-known Irish playwright. Mr. O'Hara is introduced as the robust, romantic Irish lad, with laughter, wit and songs, in which his personality fits so admirably. He has a number of song successes this season, which are "Eyes of Irish Blue," "A Day at Gosso," and "The Irishman's Tonst." "Nora McMara," the love song which he made so popular last season, is still retained by him and the never dying song of the title of the play is to be sung at each performance. The play is of a more patricic nature than any heeroftore presented, its scenes being laid during the early part of the nineteenth century, shortly after the execution of Robert Emmett, when it was an offense punishable by death to sing a patriotic song in Ireland. The hero songs the song, but outwits his enemies and escapes punishment. Heart interest, romance, intense dramatic situations and real Irish witchism abound in a degree to satisfy all lovers of excitement and laughter. The scenic investiture and costuming being of the period of the play, is also of interest. In Mr. O'Hara's support are Marie Quinn, Ireland's daintiest lingerie; Madge Towle, Leslie Bloodgood, Phyllis Ralston, J. P. Sullivan, J. R. Jyan, Marshall R. Stevens, W. J. Walsh, Wm. Sheehan, James E. Miller and Michael Jess.
