The Supreme court of the United States is said to be the most dignified body in the world. It looks it, but it must not be taken for granted that these judges, from the veto, Cake, Justice. Fuller down to the youngest man on the bench, have not their times of relaxation when they give full vent to their sense I of humor. Justice John M. Harlan, who is seventy-nine years old, has a rare humor and he likes to give it play. Justice Edward D.

Such a proceeding would be dubbed undignified, and so Judge White manages to control his flow of wit when in court, but when the tribunal is not in session he gives his mood full play.

Not long ago a lawyer went to the residence of one of the associate justices of the Supreme court, a married man and one who the lawyer thought was the staidest of the stalid. The visitor had gone to see the justice to get some advice on behalf of a person who he knew was a family friend of the one of whom he was seeking advisory help. It seems that the man's wife had died, and while the husband was a kindly disposed and most excellent man generally, his father-in-law and mother-in-law insisted on taking the children who had been left motherless. The widower did not want to part with his children and neither did he want to make a fight which would bring the children into public notice and he had had a breach with his wife's father and mother. The lawyer who was calling on the justice said, "What would you do if your father-in-law and mother-in-law on your wife's death tried to get your children away from you?" The answer came quick and sharp, "I'd tell them to go to the devil." Now it happened that the justice's wife was sitting at his elbow and the lawyer at this strong expression from the judicial minded one looked with trepidation at Mrs. Justice, expecting to see her overcome with mortification at her husband's outbreak. The visitor was relieved and began to applaud when Mrs. Justice said, "Td tell them to go to the devil, too." The household court being thus unanimous, the lawyer went away and gave advice to his client, and the presumption is that within a day or two the father-in-law and mother-in-law went to the devil. The justices of the Supreme court put on their robes in a room which is across the main corridor of the capitol from the courtroom. In order to reach the bench they are obliged to cross the corridor and this they do in procession, the clerk of the court leading the way like a pioneer and the judge of the justice and the associate justices in order of rank. It is on the stroke of twelve, noon, that this process takes up its way, and as it is known that noon is the hour for the court opening the corridor is always filled with people who want to see the judges file by.

D.C. CHIEF JUSTICE FULLER CHIEF JUSTICE FULLER, AND JUSTICE LURTON JUSTICE WHITE for the companies or for the city. In the very first part of the decision the statement was made that the Supreme ing proceeding and while it is dignified it strikes some people else as being awfully funny. Every Monday, as soon as court assembles, it is the custom to read decisions on cases which have been considered and on which the court is to pass judgment. If the decision of a great case is expected the courtroom always is crowded and the members of the bar, newspaper men and others who have been present before on like occasions, look anxiously to see which judge is to read the important decision. If any one of three or four justices is to read it there is a distinct sense of disappointment, because nobody except the reading judge is likely to hear the decision. In other words, some of the judges of the supreme court such weak voices that not even the men closest to them can catch what they say and everybody must wait until the decision can be read before knowing what it means. This inability or perhaps lack of desire on the part of some of the justices to read loud, is a great trial to the newspaper correspondents who are anxious to telegraph the news of the decision at the earliest moment possible. There are other troubles which beset the correspondents as well as those which come from the poor enunciation and the weak voices of some of the justices. Legal language is the hardest kind of language for the layman to understand, and the result is that the judge is forced to occasionally make it seem certain that one side has won the case, while the tail end of the decision may reverse everything and give the case to the other side. There was one striking instance of this in a great case which was decided three years ago. The city of Chicago was trying to effect changes in its street-car system. The street-car companies held that their franchise was good for 100 years and that the city could not oust them from any of their privileges under their franchise. The case went to the Supreme court and was of tremendous interest to all the cities in the United States. Moreover, the speculative interests of some companies with the keenest anxiety and interest, for if it was good way it meant that certain stocks still would be of great value, and if it went the other way it means that they would be worth little. The decision was read in the Supreme court by a judge who had a good voice. Everybody had made up his mind that if the Supreme court decided that the railroad companies had a hundred years' franchise they had won the case and that the city had lost. This was regarded as the crucial feature of the whole controversy. The newspaper correspondents from the great cities were in attendance at the court when the decision was read and they were ready to dispatch messengers instantly to the telegraph office with a brief dispatch saying either "The companies win," or "The city wins." This was the first time that the decision instance, for the situation was understood in paper office in the country, and a single tip as to which side won would be sufficient to release long stories of the railroad controversy, and other stories already written of what the victory meant Defective Page THE APPEAL. in the doorway of their robing room four attendants take up their places in the corridor and stretch across it two thick silken cords, thus making a passageway through the procession moves. It is the most dignified looking proceeding possible and the justices look neither to the right nor the left, but conscious that there are scores of onlookers, each one a brave wight ahead in order that there may be no discrimination in courtesy between those of the public who are standing on the right and those standing on the left. It is a perfectly impartial bow. for the companies or for the city. In the very first part of the decision the statement was made that the Supreme court had decided that the companies had a franchise for 100 years. Instantly some of the correspondents sent disclosures "of the three correspondents were held in their seats by a cautionary word from a veteran who had done long service in the Supreme court. He said, "Wait." In a few minutes, as the reading went on, it became apparent that the court had decided that while the companies had a franchise for 100 years they had practically no rights under it. On the strength of the mistake which was made in sending out some of the first dispatches on that day stocks went up and then when the truth came out that the companies had no rights under it, the justices led by the clerk and the chief justice enter the Supreme court everybody stands. When the judges have taken their seats the court crier, after the manner of court criers since the time of the patriarchs, declares that the high and honorable court is in session and that justice is to be dispensed. Just before taking their seats the justices bow to the assembled throne and the throng bows back. When the court crier's voice has died away everybody takes his seat and the proceedings begin. The Supreme court sits in the old state chamber of the building where where Webster, Hayne, Clay, Calhoun and others fought their battles. The gallery is a tiny affair capable of seating only about thirty people and the wonder is how when Webster delivered his great invitation to Hayne there could have been present the great crowd of which history tells us. It was in the Supreme court that the electoral commission which decided the Hayes-Tilden contest held its sessions. The fifteen members of that commission occupied the seats of the justices and it is said that during the progress of the hearing the little room was crowded literally to the point that people were overcome. It is an historic chamber and the places to which visitors to Washington bend their knees. In the membership of the Supreme-court there are two veterans of the Union army and two veterans of the Confederate army. John Marshall Harlan, who is a Republican, raised the Tenth Kentucky infantry and served in Gen. George H. Thomas' division. He rose to the rank of colonel and his name was before the senate for confirmation as a brigadier general at a time late in the war, and he died compelled him for family reasons to retire. Oliver Wendell Holmes of Boston graduated from Harvard college in 1861 and at once entered the Union army. At the battle of Ball's Bluff in October, 1861, Holmes was shot through the breast and for a long time it was believed he could not possibly recover. He did recover, however, and went back to the front, taking part in the battle of Antietam, where he was shot through the neck, and again his life was despaired of. Once he made his way to the front, only to be wounded again at the battle, Justice Edward Douglas White was born in Louisiana and he served through the Civil war in the Confederate service. Horace Harmon Lurton, who was appointed by President Taft to the vacancy caused by the death of Justice Peckham, entered the Confederate service when he was only seventeen years old and he served three years. He was with General Buckner at Fort Donelson when the Confederate commander surrendered to General Grant. Lurton was Grant's captive, and it is possible that his former soldier had any conception that this youthful soldier was one day to be appointed to the Supreme court of the United States by a Republican president.

Now it is a scheme to buy fruit land on the Pacific coast. Our city friend is told he can make $1,000 an acre from the start. A few days ago I found a young man almost on his way to the bank to draw $800 for such a scheme, says a writer in the Metropolitan. He had a warranty that in five years he would be drawing $3,000 annually from his "farm." Next is some co-operative scheme for growing peaches in Texas or oranges in Florida. You do not work. You simply buy stock in the enterprise, pay for it, of course, and then sit in the shade and draw your dividends. You sit in the shade—no doubt of that—and the dividends draw like the memory of evil deeds. LOST IN NEW YORK Thousands of Disappearances Reported to Police Annually. Esther Maude Mearson's Case Resembles in Many Respects That of Ruth Wheeler Who Was Murdered. New York—Exhaustive search by the police in every nook and corner of New York to reveal the slightest trace of Esther Maude Mearson, aged sixteen, who mysteriously disappeared after starting out to seek work as a stenographer. The case resembles in many respects that of Ruth Wheeler, who also sought employment as a stenographer and went to the rooms of Albert Wolter, where she was murdered and her body burned and put into a sack. It is another of the many strange disappearances of a great city's daily life. In fact, the parents of Esther Mearson living in and the sad fate of Ruth when their own daughter went in search of employment cautioned her against going to private residence for work or answering post card requests for help as did Ruth Wheeler, Esther, an unusually attractive girl, well proportioned and large for her age, was also warned to be careful of her conduct while in the presence of strange men. It was Lyon Mearson, brother of the missing girl, who first notified the police of her disappearance, Lyon, a graduate of the New York law school, employed in the office of a large father, Jooon Mearson, the girl's father, is a retired jewelry and dry goods salesman. There are jewelers and children in the family. They live at 187 East One Hundred and Twenty-third street. Esther left school two years ago, and became a pupil in the Hebrew Technical Institute, where she took a special course. Upon leaving the in- ESTHER WELARSON stitute she took up the study of stenography at her home and before long became proficient in it. While it was not necessary for her to seek employment, the girl did not wish to be idle. Mrs. Mearson was the only member of the family to talk with Esther Monday morning, when the girl was preparing to continue her quest of a position. The girl was more confident than ever she would find a place where there would be a chance of advancement. She told her mother that was the kind of a position she was trying for. "I will be home as soon as I can, mother," said Easher, as she kissed her parent goodbye. "I will be glad if I find the place I am looking for because I need something to occupy my mind." A woman describing herself as Mrs. J.F. Kennedy went to see Mrs. Mearson and told her that she was pretty sure that she had seen Easher on Third avenue near One Hundred and Twenty-Fifth street. Mrs. Kennedy 'said she saw a middle-aged man in the neighborhood of fifty, say, accost the girl, calling her 'miss.' The girl, Mrs. Kline, stopped and the two still talking to Kennedy went on about her own affairs. Thousands of such cases come to the notice of the Gotham police every year. Some of the disappearing persons return after they have been away a short time and the public hears nothing more of them. Others never are found and go down in the annals of the police department as unexplained mysteries. Fires French Cook London.—The new queen is so thoroughly British in her culinary tastes that she is reported to have dismissed King Edward's French chef, M Menager, who for years has been the monarch of the royal kitchen. Queen Mary is said to have decided to employ only British labor when possible. Paint Makes Cows Ugly Washington, Pa.—A diet of paint was fatal to three registered Jersey cows belonging to Scenery hill farmers and a fourth is expected to die. A can of paint was thrown into the pasture which, after they ate it, caused them to run about the field and try to gore each other. $155 an Ounce for Rare Forks. London—The record price of $155 an ounce was paid by Mr. Amor for two two-pronged forks from the collection of Lord Tweed mouth.

Washington — One of the most stunning figures in Washington official life is the Princess Kalanianale, wife of the delegate from Hawaii. Since the election of "Prince Cupid," she is popularly known, to congress, ten years ago, and he his wife have established a reputation for hospitality and have made a large circle of friends. "Princess" Kalanianale, to give her the Hawaiian title, never falls to attract much attention at social functions. She is a fine type of Hawaiian woman and dresses sumptuously in the brilliant dresses she countrymen are so fond. She is unusually tall and carries herself in PRINCESS KALANIANAOLE regal manner which is characteristic of her people. Princess Kalanianaole is fond of society and has readily adapted herself to Washington social conditions. Before her marriage to the scon of Hawaiian royalty Princess Kalanianolea was Elizabeth Kahanu Kaaual, daughter of a native chief of the island of Maui. Her marriage to "Prince Cupid," October 8, 1896, was the occasion of great rejoicing throughout the islands. Princess Kalanianolea was educated in English schools and took a finishing course in France. She is a thorough linguist, an artist of no small ability and an artist of fine musician. She has been largely musician in creating a vogue for Hawaiian music. The native instrument of Hawaii, a variety of guitar which lends itself readily to Kanaka folk music, is frequently heard in the drawing room of the fine residences in Massachusetts avenue maintained by the Kalanianoles. Former Queen Liliuokalani of Hawaii, the aunt of "Prince Cupid," is a much feted guest when she comes to visit her young relatives. Princess Kalanianolea has a fine collection of native jewelry and curios. Among them is the war helmet of the national hero, Kalakaua I. Some bits of pottery which she possesses are of untold antiquity and are highly valued by collectors. The "horuka," the native dress of the Hawaiian woman, is shown in great detail in a collection made by Princess Kalanianolea. The gem is sort of sublimated mother-bubbled and is often made of costly fabrics and even ornamented by precious stones. The princess possesses, by the way, some of the finest jewelry in Washington. HEADS ILLINOIS PHYSICIANS Dr. Alfred Cleveland Cotton of Chicago Elected President of State Medical Association. Chicago.—Dr. Alfred Cleveland Cotton, recently elected president of the Illinois State Medical association, has been in practise in Chicago for thirty-two years. For the last three years he has been superintendent of the Jackson Park sanitarium for babies and for eighteen years he has been DR. ALFRED CLEVELAND COTTON physician of the Presbyterian hospital, in which institution he is also professor of pediatrics. Dr. Cotton was born in Griggsville, Pike county, Ill., in 1847 and was graduated from Rush war he college in 1878. In the civil war he was a Brummen in Company F, One Hundred Seventh Illinois Volunteer infantry. His hometown was city physician, in charge of isolation hospitals. RIVAL OF WESTON Septuagenarian Walks 13 Miles Before Breakfast Daily. Capt. N. H. Chittenden at 70, Takes Long "Hike" Every Morning—Has Many Friends Among the Indians. New York—The sight of a gaunt and bearded man in sombrero and corduroys who daily turns in his tracks at the New Jersey end of the Fort Lee ferry, has awakened the curiosity of dwellers in the vicinity. The appearance of the man is decidedly "Wild West," and the youngsters near the ferry who are atstr at about seven o'clock mornings have had visions of redskins and buffaloes lately when the stranger has rewarded their vigils by coming on the scene. The western-looking one is Capt Newton H. Chittenden, the first explorer of the Queen Charlotte islands, who although 70 years old, walks from Alpine, N. J., to the ferry, a distance of 40 miles, regularly before eight o'clock each morning as a "constitutional." That Captain Chittenden deserves a nicely ornamented spot in the walkers' section of the Hire of fame along with Colonel Weston and Mayor Gaynor is evident from his exploits. In 1888 and 1889 he broke the record for long walks by making a continuous journey on foot diagonally across the continent from the Pacific to the Gulf of Mexico, a distance. in including several hundred miles of side expeditions, amounting to 3,350 miles. He was accompanied by a pack burro. The trip was for archeological and ethnological research, and Captain Chittenden considers it one of the severest, of his career. He estimates that he dragged his donkey more than five miles through the overflowed bottoms of Louisiana. Of the more than 200,000 miles which Captain Chittenden has covered in his 40 years of traveling, 25,000 miles have been on foot. Testimony of his researches are found in most of the famous museums in this country and in museums of Canada and England as well. Among American pathfinders it is said that this explorer has devoted more severe labor to the accomplishment of his many expeditions than any other ten men of this country. His donations to museums have included many valuable relics and much data pertaining to the Indian tribes and prehistoric Americans. Captain Chittenden has visited practically every Indian tribe on the continent and has lived with some of the distinguished old chiefs as long as six months, or a year. He has consequently become versed in several Indian languages. It is an interesting fact that, save on one or two occasions when protection from border ruffians demanded it, he never carried a weapon. Chief Edonsau of the Queen Charlotte tribe was Captain Chittenden's great friend, Foundmaker, chief of the Indian Crees, whom he visited during the Biel rebellion, was another intimate, Biel rebellion, American Horse, a great war chief of the Sloux; Red Cloud, Sitting Bull, Two Strike, and the noted Chief Joseph, who came to see him in camp on the Spokane river in the early days. In the winter of 1908-09 upon visiting Chief Manuel of the Calhulla and Sereno Indians of southern California he was invited to address the tribe at their feast, and he remained in camp with them for 40 days. As evidence of his pedestrian habits, Captain Chittenden in 1882, when provided with free transportation to and from the gold fields of Carlbon, left the stage in the interior and proceeded 300 miles alone on foot among the various Indian tribes inhabiting the various gold fields of Columbia. Two years later, in the dead of winter, the thermometer reaching 15 degrees below zero and the snow in places 15 feet deep, he walked alone over the mountains into the gold fields of Coeur d'Alene and then crossed the Bitter Root range into Montana a distance altogether of more than 300 miles. Country roads are child's play to Captain Chittenden, whose pedestrian has been devoted to rougher travel than that which his rivals have. He attributes his unusual sense of assurance to inheritance and care of his never smoked nor taken a drop of wine, or coffee, and has not drunk a cup of tea or coffee in 40 years.

SATURDAY, JULY 9, 1910. THE JOHNSON-JEFFRIES FIGHT. The Johnsen-Jeffries prize fight on last Monday is now a matter of history. While we are in nowise unduly elated, we are satisfied with the result, because it, doubtless, was on the square. We would have been satisfied had the outcome been otherwise, could we have believed that the fight was STRICTLY ON THE SQUARE. We are absolutely and unqualifiedly opposed to the brutal, demoralizing game of prize fighting or pugilism generally, and we will hail with joy the day of its demise. The best thing, to our mind, that has come out of the fight is the sudden awakening of the public to the demoralizing effects of the numerous moving picture shows that infest the country and it may bring them under a more strict censorship, to which we say amen!

Yet we are firmly of the opinion that the apparently country-wide objection to the exhibition of the Johnson-Jeffries fight pictures comes more from race prejudice than from a moral standpoint. Who believes for one minute, that had Jeffries been the victor at Reno, there would have been any objection to showing the pictures of him bringing back "the white man's hope?" RIGHT TO DEFEND HIS HOME We welcome with pleasure every indication of a disposition on the part of the Southern brother to treat the Afro-American with fairness and justice and such an instance recently occurred in the state of Arkansas. A difficulty took place between a white man and an Afro-American. Later the white man went to the Afro-American's house and shot at him. The Afro-American returned the fire and wounded the white man. The jury awarded the Afro-American two years in the penitentiary. Judge A.D. Grace set aside the verdict and ruled that the Afro-American had the same right to defend his home as the white man had; so he discharged the prisoner. At first glance the foregoing may seem a rather unimportant matter, but we pronounce it one of supreme importance and know that it required no little courage upon the part of the judge to take such action. --- HOW TO STAND HIGH IN THE SOUTH. Every once in a while, in the South, some incident occurs which tends to show that a certain class of Afro-Americans can stand very well in the estimation of the white citizens. In Alabama recently, more than one thousand persons of the "best families" attended the funeral of an old body servant. School boys clamored for places as pall-bearers. The South is always ready to pay honor to a faithful servant WHEN HE IS DEAD. In this case we presume Bob had no higher ambition than to be a servant and no desire to vote. No doubt he was a "good nigger" of the halcyon days of slavery. HON. FRANK E.

The heroes are Alexander Blas of Anapolis and T. L. Walker of Philadelphia. The man they rescued was J. C. Lowery. All three men are mess attendants of the tainted class on the receiving ship Franklin at Norfolk Navy Yard, where the incident occurred. The commendation was issued on the recommendation of Capt.

The Laymen's Missionary Movement is preparing to spend $55,000,000* to be raised annually in converting the 1,000,000 "heathen," all of the colored races, to Christianity. It would be a better plan to spend the $55,000,000 to be raised annually to convert the white heathen in the South.

A Committee of Fifty Is Considering the Advisability of Building a Lincoln Memorial in Washington City. It seems that the lynching recently pulled off in Mississippi was a very nice affair. There was no rudeness and everybody was extremely polite. The best people of the county were present to give the function. Hanging of a Negro-that's all. "I wish you would please state that the lynching of Elmo Curl at Mastadon, Miss., was a most orderly affair, conducted by the bankers, lawyers, farmers and merchants of that county. The best people of the county, as good as there are anywhere, simply met there and hanged Curl without a sign of rowdyism. There was no drinking, no shooting, no yelling and not even any loud talking." This was the statement made by a well dressed, nice looking man who entered the Memphis Commercial Appeal office, and asked to have the account published. He proved to be J. D. Miller, tax assessor of Concordia parish, La., and the brother of W. P. Miller, who was shot by Curl at Mastadon several weeks ago when Mr. Miller went at the head of a posse to arrest him. Mr. Miller went on to state that when the assembled yeomanry of Panola county had transferred Curl from the main line of the Illinois Central railroad to Mastadon they halted under a well-limbed tree within forty feet of the cabin from which Curl shot young Miller. "When the party arrived there," continued Mr. Miller, "they asked me what were my wishes in the matter. Their courtesy to me could not have been surpassed. I told them that I did not believe in brutality, nor did I approve of mutilation of bodies or the torture of slow burning, but that I would like to have the privilege accorded me of making first pull on the rope. All accorded to my wishes in the matter. ABRAHAM A Committee of Fifty Is Considering Memorial in W "But I believe that the Negro was dead from fright before he was hauled up from the ground. The knot was tied at the back of his neck and he was pulled up slowly from the ground. There was no jerk or fall, yet he never kicked, and so far as we could see no muscle ever moved after he was hoisted into the air. In fact we had to lift him to his feet, as he seemed unable to stand. All of the best people of that section took part and I have never seen a more orderly assemblage anywhere." The foregoing account of a common occurrence in the South, given in the words of the leader of the mob is so excellent a picture of Southern American civilization that further comment is unnecessary. THE PERVERSE CAUCASIAN EDITORS. It is a remarkable fact that the Caucasian editors persist in speaking of the Afro-Americans of the United States as if they were as wild, ignorant and uncultivated as the tribes of the jungles of Africa. For instances the Washington Herald says: "The Negro does not know by inheritance or early training how to care for himself, either as to temperature or sanitation. He still needs supervision and instruction, even compulsory, in such affairs of self-preservation." The foregoing is true in reference to a large fraction of the race, just as it is true of a very large number of both races. So far as the North is concerned, there is very little difference in the intelligence or mode of living of members of the two races, if we compare individuals of about equal means of living. It would be hard to find, in any part of the United States, any Afro-Americans who need supervision and instruction as to sanitary matters so badly as the miners in the coal regions of Pennsylvania. According to the testimony of credible witnesses, the miners live in a condition of utter disregard of the rules of --- decycency or hygiene. The case of the Afro-American is not a peculiar one; as a general thing he compares, class by class, very well with his white neighbors. SEPARATE Y. M. C. A.'S. There may be some excuse for the separate Young Men's Christian Association in the South, where the line between the races is distinctly drawn, but in the North there is no justification for their existence. The Afro-Americans who are urging the establishment of separate Y. M. C. A.'s are making a grave mistake. They should consider the question from every angle before using their influence in favor of a movement which will be farreaching in its effects and may come back sometime in the shape of discriminating and repressive laws and finally in the withdrawal of all civil and political rights from the race. There are in the United States a few individuals who have proved themselves to be true Christians, but the alleged Caucasian Christian Church in this country justified slavery and has never taken a decided stand for the rights of men. The Y. M. C. A. people in many Northern communities are endeavoring to segregate the Afro-American, thus proving that in one respect the Association is not a Christian organization. If Afro-Americans think that an organization similar to the Y. M. C. A. is needed in any particular community, they should form one and call it by some other name. Under no circumstances should they have any connection with the Central Y. M. C. A., which as a rule in cities where there are colored branches, admits to the central organization members from all branches except the colored branch. To become a branch of an organization which discriminates is to admit inferiority. LINCOLN the Advisability of Building a Lincoln Washington City. That Afro-Americans should become parties to the segregation plan is incensivable, yet many are doing so. THE APPEAL believes that these members of the race, who are in many instances, intelligent people, are misguided and after they have carefully considered the matter and see the perils the plan entails will about face and refuse to segregate themselves. Better call a halt now. Unless segregation is stopped it will continue to grow and it is not impossible that within ten years the jimcrow car will roll into Chicago. Men and women of the race, consider well your actions! THE LYING SOUTHERN EDITOR. One of the severest tests of the ingenuity of the Southern editor is the lying rendered necessary by every case of lynching that occurs. He knows that he is depended upon to present the thing in a plausible manner for the benefit of the world at large and to make it appear that the crime committed was of such appalling atrocity that the highly respectable people who avenged it were entirely justifiable, that the evidence was completely satisfactory and that the affair was conducted with dignity and good taste. By diligent and frequent practice, the Southern editor has became perfect in his role and can do the necessary lying in the finest kind of style. Hence the truth in regard to such matters almost never comes to the light. It would not do to astonish the world with the real truth about many such occurrences. Foreign governments send thousands of criminals to the United States every year because it is cheaper to do that than to support them at home. They are received with great joy by the Caucasian-Americans who treat them with greater consideration than they do Afro-Americans of sterling worth. --- THE STREETS OF BOSTON An unaccented Christian Institution, devoted especially to advanced education.

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 have no small thing for a newspaper to have a quarter of a century once the city where which have surrounded THE APPEAL, and it seems to me that some sort of celebration of the event would be eminently fit and proper, I also believe that the citizens of the Twin Cities whom you have served so faithfully and well would gladly join in masing the event one long to be remembered. My idea is that a souvenir edition of THE APEAL be published containing 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 APEALS' birth or such other day that in your judgment is more suitable, in which all may take a part in making the occasion 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. Minneapolis, Minn., May 4, 1910. My Dear Mr. Adams: Several weeks ago I read an open letter in THE APPEALI which suggested a celebration of its 25th anniversary. It is the right thing to do, and I am heartily in favor of it. Having been a reader of your paper ever since it was first published, and a sincere admirer of the tenacity with which you have held on to the life of our nation, and our others have been able to fill, I believe it is an obligation the whole community owes you, and that you just deserve recognition and merit whatever form the occasion may present. I shall be pleased to render any assistance in my power to give. Minneapolis, Minn., May 16. Mr. Editor: Very few of the newspapers of our race can show a record of twenty-five years' existence and as THE APPEAL has that distinction we of the Northwest are very proud of it. It is the only paper we have in the state and its Quarto-Centenial celebration is quite in order. Count on me to do all in my power to help make it a great success. Minneapolis, June 15. Twenty-five years of continuity through storm and sunshine, through discouragements and successes, entitled THE APPEAL to every kind and deed that may receive from those who it has served long. I wish to be counted among the most appreciative. Will M. Smith. St. Paul, June 14. I fully approve of your plan and do not see why it should not be a grand success. THE APPEAL is in every way worthy, long may it live. I am with you. S. J. Bellesen. The issuance of a Quarto-Centennial edition of THE APPEAL ought to mark an epoch in the general history of the Aro-Americans of the Northwest.

I have watched its progress all those years and have been pleased with its successes and I wish for it a long and useful career. I am heartily in accord with the Quarte and Centennial of THE APPEAL and indorse the movement of the same. I am also pleased with the attending spirit that seems to awaken from that of ingratitude to the appreciation of service, and that the people of the Twin Cities are heartily indorsing those who are struggling to do something for the race, especially that of THE APPEAL. We do wish success for it in the future, and under the management, we say well done to the editor of the same. Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Strong. I am heartily in accord with the idea of celebrating the 25th anniversary of THE 'APPEAL and believe the good people of the Twin Cities will help to make it a grand success. B. R. Durant.

MUSIC Specialty — Painless extracting, crown and bridge work Woe to me! for I'm in love With the sweetest little dove: She's the smallest little girl of a soft, light brown. Her eyes are heavenly bright, Her teeth are pearly white; And her skin is smooth as the peach's soft down. Her soft, brown arms, round my neck a clinging vine. My heart is filled with joy, When she calls me darling boy, The kisses she gave to me I never can forget. I went over, sir, I'd much rather live with her, In a quiet, cozy little cottage out of the city. That although she is fair, With what graces my heart she has stole. But it is my greatest treat. When she sings to me so sweet, For she makes like a silver throated queen. Her cakes they are a prize, She can take the nicest pies, And her bread is just as light as light can be. I will work all the while, To keep her dressed in style, So that she will ever and forever love O, there is no greater bliss, Than her velvet cheek to kiss, Her face on my shoulder the tears of joy to hide. O how warm dooth bathe, My happiness is complete. With my dear little chocolate babe by my side. U. B. F. NOTES. The State Grand Lodge will convene next month at Minneapolis. The various Lodges and Temples are preparing for a grand outing in the near future. The Board of the Grand Lodge meet this week to begin making arrangements for the next meeting. I desire to inform our friends and the public generally that the case that is up before the District Court of Ramsay county has not been tried. When called in court on Saturday, July 2nd, Judge Bunn would not hear the issue because it had been on the docket for sometime and our attorney had failed to either apply for an injunction or to bring the case to trial, and when we were forced to change our lawyer and made application for relief, the judge, did not feel justified in encouraging such actions on the part of attorneys by granting their requests on the last day of court before the summer vacation, and the therefore laid it over till the fall term of court, at which time the issues will be tried in full and a decision rendered that will, it is hoped, cast asunder this discord and contention and the grand order once more be in a state of harmony and prosperity. In the meantime don't let our friends become discouraged, for remember the battle is not to the strong, the race to the swift, but to him that endures to the end, for in the end the right will prevail. J. D. Parker, Grand Master, State of Minnesota. Warring Factions The United Brothers of Friendship and Sisters of Mysterious Ten, who met in Judge Bunn's court July 2, 1910, where F. D. Parker, representing the so-called State Grand Lodge, was refused an injunction against J. R. White, Oliver H. Allen, James P. Anderson, John Jenkins, all persons and members of and doing business as the I. X. L. Lodge, Rebecca Moore Florence Duckett and Addle Bellenes, and all members of and doing business as White Rose T. Allie Franklin, Mary Anderson, Cassie Maker, and all members doing business as Franklin Temple, Hattie Turpin, Ida Perkins, Mary Doe, and all members and doing business as Elizabeth Temple. These people recognize Walter M. Farmer as National Grand Master, and the present decision was a great victory for Rev. J. R. White, giving his Lodges and Temples perfect right to meet in peace. The present controversy was the outcome of an annual sermon held at St James church Sunday, June 26, 1910. This fruitless effort was made by F. D. Parker because of certain incorporated papers, which were issued to and held by him. Therefore he appealed to the court, but his request was denied. C. E. J.
