The Appeal

CITRUS FRUIT CULTURE IN CUBA BY I.A.WRIGHT WILLIAMS THE APPEAL KEEPS IN FRONT BECAUSE: 1-It aims to publish all the news possible. 2-It does so impartially, wasting no words. 8- Its correspondents are able and energetic. VOL. 26. NO. 32. CITRUS F IN CUBA D URING the first week in February, 1910, the Cuban National Horticultural society, an organization the membership of which is almost exclusively American and Canadian, held its fourth annual meeting in Havana. In connection, a horticultural show was open; among the exhibits were citrus fruits from every section of the island. The fruits were large, juice, clean, thin-skinned, heavy, beautifully colored and delicous in flavor. Florida had sent across grape fruit and oranges from famous orchards of the peninsular state, to facilitate invidious comparison, and the comparison, when made, showed that Cuba can produce citrus fruit of first-class quality, and, moreover, that she is doing so. peninsular state, to facilitate invidious comparison, and the comparison, when made, showed that Cuba can produce citrus fruit of first-class quality, and, moreover, that she is doing so. Citrus-fruit culture is the principal interest of American and Canadian settlers throughout Cuba. Cubans and Spaniards are growers of no citrus fruits save pheasantles—the grape fruit and orange groves belong to the English-speaking colonists. Orange and grape fruit culture is the which has been boomed mercilessly by land companies advertising largely and sometimes unscrupulous through the United States and in Canada during the past ten years. Their customers, arriving in Cuba, have insisted upon growing nothing but grape fruit andanges, even in regions where other crops would assuredly have proven more immediately profitable if not the better investment in the long run. Citrus-fruit culture is the principal interest of American and Canadian settlers throughout Cuba. Cubans and Spanials are growers of no citrus fruits save pineapples—the grape fruit and orange groves belong to the English-speaking colonists. Orange and grape fruit culture is the business which has been boomed mercilessly by American advertising largely and sometimes unsuccessfully through the United States and in Canada during the past ten years. Their customers, arriving in Cuba, have been instructed upon growing nothing but grape fruit andanges, even in regions where other crops would assuredly have proven more immediately profitable if not the better investment in the long run. For instance, there a dians growing citrus fruits in the heart of Vuelta Abajo and in other parts of Pinar del Rio province on lands that might be made to produce tobacco of the qualities which have made western Cuba famous the world around for this one crop, were the owners willing to co-operate Cubans on the participatory system, according to which the newcomer requires the requisite capital and the native furnishes the skill no less necessary to success in the delicate undertaking. It is a notable fact that few Americans or Canadians who themselves do the actual work in their to- THE LAND OF THE LION THE WATER CITY GROVE OF YOUNG LEMON TREES bacco fields have found this crop profitable. There are "tricks in the trade" of which Cubans are masters, especially those persons whose families have for generations out of mind engaged in tobacco culture entirely. They seem to be possessed of an intuition which enables them to handle the seedling, the plant and the leaf, when gorminating, when maturing, and especially when growing tobacco, to ensure a better outcome than any foreigner is likely to grow to the very best tobacco requires capital. The culture is a gamble, the result of which, however, is known in a single season. If the planter wins, he probably rakes in "big money". If he loses bacco fields have found this crop profitable. There are “tricks in the trade” of which Cubans are masters, especially those persons whose families have for generations out of mind engaged in tobacco culture entirely. They seem to be possessed of an intuition which enables them to handle the seedling, the plant and the leaf, when germinating, when maturing, and especially when growing tobacco to inquire about than any foreigner is likely to compass. To grow the very best tobacco requires capital. The venture is a gamble, the result of which, however, is known in a single season. If the planter wins, he probably rakes in “big money.” If he loses, at least it takes him only months, not years, to find it out. In the Isle of Pines, which was formerly a cattle and hog country, producing especially valuable crops, it is known that citrus-fruit growers consume large quantities of canned condensed milk, at high prices, as well as large amounts of canned meats and vegetables, despite the fact that some good pasture exists, while still more could doubtless be planted, and the further fact that fine vegetables in remarkably large variety can be grown along the river banks, or, really, almost anywhere else where, while still more could hay and feed at ridiculous cost. All in all, there is a region where corn at least can be grown and large herds used to “find” themselves. In central, but most particularly in eastern Cuba, Americans and Canadians are developing groves in lands admirably adapted to sugar cane, which is a quick, certain and profitable crop, sold either in the field, or cut and delivered wherever there is a mill near enough to buy up the cane. They are growing their trees on sites natives would assuredly prefer for coffee and cacao, or, more importantly, indigenous crops (names, boniates, etc.) for which there is constant and remunerative demand. American and Canadian settlers in Cuba, including the Isle of Pines, are citrus-fruit mad. In Pinar del Río, in the Isle of Pines and in central and eastern Cuba there is, nevertheless, in their madness so much method, plus gilt and utter inability to realize the odds they are "up against," that it seems to be very probable they will succeed regardless. Money, time and hardship are to them no object at all. Pinar del Río is a province possessed of most fertile land in certain districts. There are among the foothills in the "Organo" themselves rich valleys;不fortunate; some of the choicest are as yet almost inaccessible, good land always along the streams, and stable areas are to be found, here and there, everywhere. Also here and there and everywhere. THE APPEAL. FRUIT CULTURE BA BY I.A.WRIGHT VIEW OF HAVANA AND WATER FRONT there are worn-out fields, sun baked through years, which wear, however, to the inexperienced eye, the aspect of virgin, though lightly wooded or savannah lands; there are also other sections—desolate palm barrens—where no man save the soil will grow, real estate "sight unseen" would think of attempting to grow anything. There are, too, south of the mountain range, on the plain which drops gradually from its skirts to the Caribbean sea, certain sandy, gravelly reaches, poor in plant food. It is here, however, with proper fertilization and care, that growers are developing orange and grape-fruit groves. These lands will produce the trees, if food to support them is supplied in the shape of fertilizer, and the trees will bear citrus fruit of the very best quality—bright colored, weighty, full of juice, inclosed in smooth, thin rind. No fair-minded person can longer doubt that they will do so after seedling of the quality which growers located at Taco Taco exhibited at the latest horticultural show in Havana. These gentlemen had, however, the money to keep their trees properly nourished. Many others who have failed to succeed as they are succeeding owe that failure to the fact that they did not have the money to do as much for their groves. Some land companies doing business in western Cuba deny overtly or by implication that fertilization is necessary, but no prospective owner of a citrus-fruit grove in western Cuba can afford not to include in his estimate of expenses the cost of fertilizing early and often in amounts of $10,000 per acre. For fertilizers in general use in the groves of the region mentioned cost, on a fair average, about $45 a ton. This is the situation in the Isle of Pines, as well as in the western and central mainland of Cuba. "The soils are all poor in plant food compared with the average soils in the United States, and the gravel rocks are especially so," states Mr. H. C. Henricksen, secretary of the Cuban National Horticultural society, referring particularly to the Isle of Pines, "but I have never seen the effect of good fertilizers so sharply outlined in the very soils, and the gravel rocks in Florida and Porto Rico I would predict an abundant crop of fruit of superior quality wherever the groves are properly treated." The vital question in these regions is, then, whether the owner is able to afford proper treatment. He will, save in exceptional cases, where the soil is too "American" for any use whatsoever. Get this crop provided he has the money to supply it for the crop. And he be�tified in that. For there are richer lands in Cuba than those on which Americans and Canadians are developing their groves in western Cuba and the Isle of Pines. Along the Congo River, to one locality, there are exceedingly deep, fertile, virgin soils which need no fertilizer to produce citrus fruit groves. Such lands must, at the very commencement, be cleared, at some expense, of the soil, and then, and groves, once planted, must at all costs be used of weeds. Secondary crops—corn, for instance, may be grown between rows without detriment to the trees; in fact, it would seem wiser to do so otherwise, for, exactly the opposite of the case in the west, these far eastern lands need to be reduced. They are almost too rich, and the fruit of trees they produce, particularly young trees, is apt to be coarse-skinned, too big, and pithy. These defects, nevertheless, time remedies, for a plant to be least $9000 when he food. Eventually it will become necessary to fertilize the trees, and then growers, by selecting their fertilizer, can control the quality of their fruit. They have, meanwhile, acquired their grove without the expense for fertilizer the grower in the west has been put to in order to produce his. He, on the other hand, has been to less expense than the man in the east in the matter of clearing the land, had to sit up nights weeding to keep his grove from disappearing under a tangle of tropical vegetation. The obvious conclusion, is therefore, that six is one-half dozen. Groves in both eastern and western Cuba will produce trees and good fruit, but neither will do so for any owner not willing to pay the price under one head or another in cash and also in hard work. It is conservatively estimated that no man should undertake even a five-acre grove anywhere in the west, but to aid his hands on it. If he is a lively, capable man he will probably not need that amount of money, but no matter what his ability he should be able to command at least that sum before embarking in the citrus fruit business here. He may need it all, and more. While no complete statistics are available, it is the writer's impression that in western Cuba, including the Isle of Pines, the acreage of oranges is more than that of grape fruit, while in the east we need that of citrus fruit acreage is the larger. Thedererseemusually, to be orange groves; the younger the grove the larger the proportion of grape fruit in it. Problems of transportation to market demand careful study from all growers, prospective or established. Groves situated at a distance from railway lines are handicapped at the start, for, although there are many good roads in Pinar del Rio province, and all over the Isle of Pines, every county, and where the roads are not excellent, it counts heavily, most especially in wet weather. Americans and Canadians have plunged headfirstom into citrus-fruit culture in Cuba. They are building up against odds, by their indomitable courage and optimism, an industry into which preceding owners of the lands they hold did not venture. The Spaniards and Cubans did not venture may have been because they were blind to the possibilities, lacked specific knowledge of the crop, and were outmatched by adverse conditions in past decades. Then again, it may be they were deterred not by these things at all, but by a true understanding of basic conditions here; by a realization of difficulties in the way of competing, not to say controlling, in the markets where the citrus fruit of Cuba must be sold; and, especially, by a keen appreciation of more profit to be made more easily. In the fine, fine, fine, they may have been governed by creation, which does not notably distinguishe the Anglo-Saxon when engaged in opening up fields to him new. New to him, he it noted, but in Cuba's case not in themselves either new or untidied. This island is not a virgin wilderness in toto. It has been under the domination of white men for 400 years. Not all these white men were idle and incompetent. They appreciated the country and in developing its resources—not to the fullest extent, nowadays, to be sure, but as far as was possible to them in their times—they made fortunes. Defective Page FREAKS IN CIRCUSES People Are Strangely Fascinated by the Monstrosities. When the "Domesticated Gorilla" Got the Show into Trouble—Hot Water Spoila a "Mermaid" to Uncover Fake. London—It seems strange that freaks, from the legless wonder to the two-headed calf, should possess such a strange fascination for nine people out of ten, yet this is undoubtedly the case. Of course, there are many so-called freaks which have no business to be called by such an unpleasant name, for if one argues from the dictionary a fraternity, and for a stranger, in the generally accepted sense of the word, is something horrible. The giant and the dwarf are interesting and unusual, but certainly should not be called "freaks." Hunchbacks were an exception to the rule, for all kinds of powers were attributed to them. There are some very sensitive people to whom the sight of anything in the nature of a monstrosity is absolute pain, and between who fall in love with a monster because of his monstrosity, in the case of Victor Hugo's "Lhomme qui Rit." The ordinary individual comes across very few physical freaks, and one cannot but wonder whence the showman's rank and file are recruited. Perhaps, if the truth were known, more than half of the show freaks are "fakes." There are many good stories told by the show freaks to some contretements, have "given the show away." The two following are good examples: Among the freaks of a certain show was a "domesticated gorilla," to quote the handbills, and he proved one of the finest draws the show had ever had. After the performance no one could have recognized the gorilla, as The Tall Acted Automatically. he then took the shape of a very quiet, ordinary little man. The public particularly enjoyed seeing the gorilla swing from the horizontal bar by his tail, an appended which is very slightly developed in the species as a rule. This tail was a masterpiece of ingenuity. It was made of flexible steel, and so contrived that when it took a position until it was released by the gorilla touching a spring concealed somewhere near his waist. The thing worked splendidly for a long time, until one day the gorilla put his tail through the bars of his cage, and a lady standing by took hold of it. Well, the tail acted automatically, as usual, and of course when she felt it tighten around her wrist the lady screamed. The gorilla pressed the hidden spring to no purpose. To make it tighten around her wrist the lady screamed by came to the 'lady's rescue' hold of the tail and pulled it off. When the people saw the leather fastenings and buckles they 'cleaned out the establishment." The second story concerns a mermaid. She was no ordinary mermaid, but a "really high-class article," a very handsome young woman incased from the waist down in blue and gold fishskin. The water in which she smoked, and sang, and sat on a rock combing her hair was kept tepid so that the water was what gave her enemies—the beastful Circassian girl and the dwarf—a chance to infure her. They were jealous because she attracted more attention than they did, so they hatched a plot, which the dwarf carried out successfully. One day he pretended to be ill, and got a day off, and just before the master's performance he hid himself in the boiler-room. After the man had been down to see that there was not too big a fire, the dwarf set to and stoked for all he was worth. The mermaid soon felt that something was wrong, but she stood it as long as she could. At last, however, she chose between being boiled or giving the thing away, naturally she preferred the latter alternative; but, as the showman put it, the public said things that were "very discouraging" and the show had to move on. THE APPEAL STEADILY GAINS BECAUSE: 4-It is the organ of ALL Afro-Americans. 5-It is not controlled by any ring or oblique. 6-It asks no support but the people's. WOMAN FOR RECORDERSHIP Republicans in Wright County, Iowa, Nominate Mrs. C. V. Anderson for Important Post. Clarion, Ia. — Mrs. Carrie Vaugl Anderson was nominated by the Re publicans of Wright county, Iowa, at the primary election held recently to the office of county recorder by a large plurality. Upon being interviewed as to her opinion of women in politics, she had the following to say: "I don't think every woman ought to vote any more than every man—intelligence should be the qualification and not sex. The world will never be made any better if the ignorant, immoral Mrs. Grace Vaugl Anderson woman is allowed to vote and conditions will continue the same. Women should be allowed to hold any office of trust that a man does, provided she is qualified for the position and gets the votes." Mrs. Anderson is an advocate of the great farmers' co-operative movement, which is sweeping the country, especially in the great grain states. The state of Iowa alone having 325 farmers' co-operative companies, which buy and sell grain, stock and lumber. In the state alone more than $50,000,000 women business was done last year. As far as I know, Mrs. Anderson is the only woman doing business for this organization, and being a farm woman, is heartily in sympathy with the movement. Mrs. Anderson delivers addresses at Fourth of July, Decoration day and all such gatherings. She is a member of the editorial staff of the American Co-Operative Journal, one of the greatest organizations of the co-operative movement published in this country. Mrs. Anderson was born in Topeka, Kan., August 25, 1879, but moved to Iowa at an early age, where she has since resided. She was married while quite young to a farmer, who died some four years ago, leaving her with two boys and a girl, Donald, Carlyle, M. M. oldest ten and the youngest five years old. She farmed for a time after her husband's death, but the hired man problem and the "wet" years compelled her to abandon this. Mrs. Anderson made practically a "house-to-house" campaign and drove livery wagons and automobiles and attended township school picnics in her work. She was treated courteously by the men. Some were under the impression that the campaign was conducted for the purpose of securing a husband, but she thinks it was rather an expensive way to find a husband, and knows of no man who is worth hiring an automobile at the rate of $10 per day to pursue. She is out for office because of the fact that wages paid women teachers and other lines of work is not adequate to support a family. Mrs. Anderson expects to go on in political work and if not able to vote she will be unable to support women may acquire, at least will continue to talk and persuade men to vote for the right, a silent influence woman can and is already wielding. GETS BACK HIS OLD TURTLE New Jersey Bather Recaptures Pet That Wandered Away Several Years Ago. Upper Montville, N. J.—A snapping turtle that Hillard Throckmorton had lost 22 years ago returned to him when he was bathing in Green pond. He long had mourned his loss, but he mourned its return still more. Throckmorton was having his daily swim when suddenly a toe of his left foot was caught and held. He tried to shake off his new attachment, but it refused to let go. He swam to the shore, almost fainting from pain and exertion. A gold chisel and a poker were necessary to make the snapper let go. Then the following inscription was found carved on the shell: "H. T., 1888." "Why," gasped Throckmorton, "I made that on a pet turtle when I was fifteen years old." school of Pollitness Berlin.—A school of courtesy is the latest thing in German shopkeeping.

Robert St. George Dyrenforth Must Graduate From High School at Age of Fourteen and Get Harvard Degree at Eighteen. Washington.—What probably is the strongest will ever fled in court in the District of Columbia is to be contested and in the next few months it is likely that much will be published relating to the legal battle. It is the will of Col. Robert St. George Dyrenforth, civil war hero, and ex-patent office official who left a fortune of $250,000 to his twelve-year grandson providing he carried out what seems to be impossible provisions. In fact two or three of them are impossible and one will not make any attempt to abide by them. Colonel Dyrenforth cut off his wife with whom he had not lived for some time and made his grandson, Henry St. George Dyrenforth, second, his sole heir. According to this strange will the grandson will win the fortune if: He buys women of women. He graduates from the high school at fourteen. He studies manual training, dancing, and music. He receives his degree from Harvard at eighteen. He follows this with six-months' study at Oxford. He enters the military academy at ROVER S. C. LEEBERT DREXHAM ROVER S. C. LEEBERT DREXHAM West Point; graduates therefrom and becomes a soldier. He takes up the practice of law. He spends his vacations traveling through France, Spain, Italy, Greece, Germany, Denmark, and Russia in the order ordered. He becomes a Protestant Episcopalian. He refuses to associate with certain persons. He lives until he is twenty-eight. He does not marry, borne him. It will be impossible for the lad to finish high school at the age of fourteen. He cannot get a degree from Harvard at the age of eighteen, but the administrators of the estate say they shall be content if the boy makes an honest effort to carr out the provisions of the will. He is a mother, in Washington, stated that it would be impossible for him to fulfill the conditions imposed upon him, and that she would insiston receiving a share in the estate. She is said to have the support of one of her daughters, who was also estranged from the colonel. "Robert is a weak, delicate boy, and my husband knew it," she said. He has not even entered high school. He was born delicate. We never thought he would live. He had died a consumptive. His father, P. J. McGrath, who married our daughter, was an army surgeon and had been commissioned to go to Panama, just before he died two years ago. He gave the boy to my husband eight years ago and Colonel Dyronforth legally adopted the child. In 1901 my father of the estate there was no divorce, hence I an entitled to share in the property, whatever here is of it." Alfonso's Narrow Escape. Madrid—Few men of his age had so many narrow escapes as King Alfonso of Spain, who was twenty-four May 17. His life has been attempted twice, in Paris during a state visit there, and in Madrid on his wedding day. He has been in several motoring events, and in the machine nearly succeeded in killing the Spanish minister of education as well as himself. When trying a reaping-machine at La Parda some years ago he became entangled in the machinery, and might have been killed if the engineer had not stopped the movement instantaneously.

It is said that practically any discreet person can get a drink in them—presumably on a visitor's ticket or some such liberal arrangemert, The Jasonville neigh- borhood js said to consume a carload of beer a day, and Linton takes from forty to sixty eases. Naturally, there is more or less drunkenness, which is far from satisfactory to the good clti zens of a county that voted “ary” by a majority of nearly 3,000, as Greene did.” . Similar accounts come from so many other quarters that it would re- quiré a vast amount of reliable testi- mony to controvert them. In conse- quence it is very easy to see that the prohibition wave is receding very rap- idly; it has been demonstrated that state-wide .prohibition is a failure THE APPEAL never endorsed the movement, as it was easy to sce that prejudice against the Afro-American fully accounted for its popularity in the South. OH, YE HYPOCRITS. No better proof of the failure of the Caucasian Christian Church of Amer- ea to stand squarely in opposition to the color line, can be found than the recent episode in the International Sunday School Congress, which met in Washington, D. C., last week. The Congress is alleged to be a meeting of Sunday school workers from every land, but the local committee decided to bar all Afro-Americans of the Dis- trict of Columbia from the street pa- rade. ‘Ten thousand Caucasians, Bast In- dians, Chinese, Japanese, Siamese, Malays, Hawafiens and members of varions colored races, paraded the streets of the National capital sing. ing “Onward, Christian Solditrs!” Only three Afro-Americans were in the procession, the District of Colum. bia and Virginia would not permit colored American Christians in the parade. It was the most unchristian, un- American incident which has occur- Ted in many years President Tairkleld of Howard Uni versity, the Boston delegation and every British delegate entered vigor- ous protest: against the action, but the Congtess as a body paid no atten. tion to the protests and the resolu- tions adopted while setting forth that the highest aim and mission of the Sunday school is to teach the Bible to all people and all lands and de- ploring the evils of the liquor traffic among the’ backward races, etcetera, eteetera, ad nauseam, the resolutions closed with commendation of the lo- cal committee. Now if the Congress is d Christian organization, it is the opinion of THE APPEAL that it ought to have de nounced and repudiated the unchris- tian action of the Washington local committee and the stand of the Vir ginia delegation. . THE PERVERSE CAUCASIAN ED- It is a remarkable fact that the Cau- casion editors persist in speaking of the Afro-Americans of the United States as if they were as wild, ig- norant and uncultivated as the tribes of the jungles of Africa. For in- istances the Washington Herald says: “The Negro does not know by in- heritance or early training how to care for himself, either as to temper- ature or sanitation. He still needs supervision and instruction, even com- pulsory, in such affairs of self-preser- vation.” 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 differ- ence in the intelligence or mode of living cf 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 super- vision and instruction as to sanitary matters so badly as the miners in the coal regions of . Pennsylvania. Ac- cording to the testimony of credible witnesses, the miners live in a condi- tion of utter disregard of the rules of decency 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. “SAME AS WHITE FoLKs.” During the recent trial of Will Cole man, an Afro-American, at Greenville, Miss. a mob of women of the same race thronged the court room and begged the judge to give him up to them. They wanted to do bim up “same as white folks.” The judge de clined 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 @ 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.” —_—___ ‘The statement that Jack Johnson intends to invest $168,000 in United States bonds shows that the cham- Pion has some correct ideas on some Some other matters besides pugilism, DIAZ REFUSES.

They have taken to object. ing—vioiently—to the use of. their ocean by Negroes. "Go swimming in the Dead sea or Great Salt lake or the Gowanus canal if you've got to bathe,” they told two black men who had the temerity last Friday to ap. proach the Atlantic for a wash, “but keep away from us.” Then with. curious inconsistency they proceeded to throw them into this same Atlantic and. half drown them, and by this action, on their own statements, poluted the water for Caucasian use,” Sweet reasonableness should have led them to form @ cor don along the sands and. guard thelr ocean from the dark skins at all haz: ards. “God must needs laugh out- right could such a thing be,” sald Gar- Iyle, “to see his wondrous mantiins heré below.” In this cage it would be 'a bitter Iaugh, with ‘much of shame mixed in—New York Globe. i iis iil E - OOLLEGES AND SCHOOLS Roll ade or ie - 3 - - a eared les ‘ eres Dr Cae ae | AROS ie aie ML DR, Ms RN UG ar Vege Ot eo roe : , eel Keowee muting, Boy?

The Committee of Management for THE APPEALS Quarto-Centennial Celebration has fixed the date for the same for Monday evening, September 12th. No special invitations will be issued, but the good citizens may obtain tickets of admission from any of the gentlemen in the list of Patrons. The price of tickets has been fixed at One Dollar each. It is with much satisfaction and pleasure that the announcement is made that the magnificent new Junior Pioneer's Hall, cor. of West Ninth and Exchange streets, has been secured in which to hold the QUARTO-CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION of the APPEAL. This is a hall (or rather a room) for the whole building will be there, which we have never had before, nor have we ever had a hall that in elegance mates this except when the reception to the Minnesota graduates was held in the United Commercial Travelers, or old Elks' hall, over Field & Schlick's store; and which was generally conceded by those who were there, to have been the swellest local social function ever held in St. Paul. The coming QUARTO-CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION is to follow along the same general lines of the graduates' accommodation and appointments, surpass those of the old Elks' hall and as to the number that will attend is expected to be much larger there is little, if any, doubt that that magnificent entertainment will be far surpassed, as it is the general concensus of opinion that the coming affair must be a full dress one. Just go by the corner of Ninth and Exchange the next time you are in that neighborhood and take a look at the magnificent building with its large grand pilars and broad stone steps and the outside will give you an idea of what the inside must be. Then go home and begin to get ready to participate (if you are to be so fortunate) in the most recherech local social function ever witnessed in St. Paul. ANNUAL ST. THOMAS PICNIC. The annual picnic of St. Thomas' church, Minneapolis, will occur at Big Island Park, Thursday, August 11. The Hale-McMullough orchestra will furnish music.

ERICKSON Candidate for Republican Nomination for Auditor of Hennepin County. Al. P. Erickson was born in Chicago, ill., in 1866, and came to Minneapolis in 1874 and has resided here ever since. He entered the County Auditor's office in 1893 and has worked up through various positions in the office to the position of Chief Deputy, which position he has held for the past six years. His friends say that if there is any need in civil service he has earned his right to promotion, and that his long experience in the office will make him a valuable man for the place.

Mr .Editor: While in a reminiscent mood, recently, I was reminded that ‘THE APPEAL Was started in the year 3885 and therefore will pass tne 25th milestone of its existence this yeer. What a number of _ interesting events have taken place during these twenty-five years, what wonderful 2d- vancements have been made by the Afro-American citizens of the win Cities in all lixes of life! ‘And as Twas one of ity early pro- moters and know much of its his- tory, { believe w is no smail thing for a newspaper to hve for a quarter of a centnyy uncer the circumsta ree which Lave euecunded THE AP- PEAL, and It seetts to me that sone sort Cf celebiet'on of the event would Le eminently fit and proper and, I also believe that the citizens et the Twin Cities whom you have served so faithfully and well would gladly join in maxing the event one Tong, to be remeu:bered. My idea is that a souvenir edition of THE APPEAL be published con- tuining 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 wecome the happy possessors of, and numerous other matters of inter: est that would make stteh an edition a most valnable one for us all, ‘Then as grand finale a public testimonial celebration in some large hall on the anniversary day of THE APPEAL'S bith er such other day that in your indgnient is more suitable, In whic all may take a part in making. the event one of the largest ever held here. : I wontd sugzest, if the idea ntects your approval, that you select a num: ber of persons to act as a committee to carry out such plans as [ have ad vanced or as you may deem most ad visable. Very truly yours. : T. H. Lyles. Replying to your letter above, I beg leave lo state that T heartily concur in all You say, and from the expressions which have come to me during the past week T believe that the Quarto- Centeanial celebration of THE AP. PRAL can be made a great evont if the people will only take held of it in the right spirit ‘The suggestions which you made as to the souvenir edition and grand final public testimonial cannot well be im- proved pon, but as it wil! require some lime to erry them out properly T cannot. now, select a date for the same. but will do so later on, and in the meanwhile will preeeed to select a committee, ete,, to carry out the ad: mirabie suggestions you have made. Very respectfully, J. Q. Adams, ‘Editor. My Dear Mr. Adams: Several weeks ago T read an open letter in ‘THE APPEAL, which sug: gested a celebration of its 25th anni: Versary. It is the right thing to do, and | 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 your jeurnal, supplying a demand. no others have beon able to fill, EL believe it is an obligation the whole commu nity owes you, and. that you justly de serve recognition and merit whatever form the oceasion may present. 1 shall be pleased to render any as sistauce in my power to give. ‘Yours very truly, lone E. Gibbs. Pres. Atvo-Amer. W. S. Federation.’ Very few of the newspapers of our race can show a record of twenty-five years’ existence and as THE APPEAL has that distinetion we of the North- west are very proud of it, It is the only paper we have In the state and its Quarto-'entennial celebration is quite in order. Comat on me to do all in my power to help make ita great success, Respecttully, Frederick C. Nelson, 259 Seventh Ave. North.

BAD FOR THE PHYSICIAN Prescription That Cured Patient Had Unfortunate Effect on the Writer of It. The first performance of “Elektra” in New York, with the fainting ft of Mme. Mazarin at the end, was being discussed at the Lambs’, “I suppose you know what happened once at an ‘Elektra’ performance?" ‘said Victor Herbert. “Well, a doctor had a deat patient, and advised him to go to hear ‘Elektra’ and sit near the trombones. “The noise,’ the doctor sald, “has cured several supposedly incurable cases of deafness, and there {s no Teason why it shouldn't cure you, too. “The patient accepted this advice He even bought two front-row tickets and took the doctor with him to the famous opera, “As the two men sat side by side the patient, when the din was at its very loudest, shrieked in the doctor's ear: “"Doetor, oh, doctor, T can hear!? “But the doctor took no notice o} the glad ery. “Doctor, you have saved me!” the patient repeated. ‘I can hear again! “But the doctor sat cold and im passive. He had become deaf him sell.” An Idol “Not to Be Fooled With.” A very remarkable idol was brought from Central Africa by a missionary. In its stomach is set a disk-shaped mir. ror and inside of this is a bunch of herbs of mystical potency. ‘The god is supposed by the natives to be a very powerful one, To offend ‘it would be extremely dangerous. Con- sequently it is kept at the Smithsoni- an institution, to which the missionary presented it, in a glass case, where nobody can offer it any indignity. Attached to various parts of its body are spears and darts, by the aid of which the god is supposed to inflict injury upon persons who deserve to get hurt. The Smithsonian scientists say it would be imprudent to handle any of these spiky things too freely, because, for all anybody knows to the contrary, they may be poisoned. Brite Housed of Lerdac: The house of lords is almost as old as the British people. Away back in the days of the Heptarchy we find the assembly known as the “Witenage- mot,” or “Council of Wise Men,” com- posed of the leading men in church and state, which assisted the king in the making of the laws of the realm. Naturally, under the circumstances, these big men became the “whole thing,” so to speak, and in the course of time they became the “Lords, temporal and spiritual,” making up the present “house of lords.”—London ‘Stansasd.. ip ~ lt, Sn pita UT ee a, Ray I Ne Ta TN CEs i a WA Ah et =| a \ 5 NN wate SONS OF THE ; oP 3 Sy — cat ve \ Le York eee “Leads \ re THEO.
