At the same time the Daughters of the American Revolution and kindred patriotic societies have been engaged in the work of raising funds to make memorials of the past possible. In the city of Washington the residents have felt a touch of the same spirit, and there is here today an active organization which was formed for the express purpose of providing ways and means to keep in the mind of the present generation, the memories of the past, by means of worthy memorial tablets emplaced on buildings of historic interest, or on land or ground made famous as the witnesses of historic events. For some time there have been before congress three plans for a great memorial to Abraham Lin- ARCH OF TRIUMPH, PARIS ARCH OF CONSTANTINE, ROME. Colin.

One of the plans is for a great highway to be known as the Lincoln Road, or the Lincoln Highway, to connect the capital with the battlefield of Gettysburg. It is held by many students of English that the short address which Abraham Lincoln delivered on the battlefield of Gettysburg is one of the finest examples of expression in the mother tongue known to the world of letters. Lincoln is inseparably connected with Gettysburg, and the fact is due almost wholly to the speech which he delivered on the anniversary of the battle, a speech which, it is said, was prepared only at the last moment before delivery, the only preparation except that of thought, consisting in a few notes jotted down upon the back of an old envelope. The senate committee on library, which has in charge memorial work, reported favorably a bill authorizing the expenditure of $100,000 for the erection of a memorial arch upon the camping ground of the American army at Valley Forge, in the state of Pennsylvania. The library committee some time ago, recommended and secured the passage of a bill appropriating money for the erection in Washington of a statue to John Barry, commodore in the United States navy during the Revolutionary war. A monument also is to be erected to Christopher Columbus and a part of the cost will be paid by the people of the United States. Statues to Kosciusko and Pulaskl have been erected within the year, and other statues and monuments, either have been put in place, or are now well on the road to completion. It is said that the patriotic societies, by their excellent educational work throughout the country, have so aroused the sentiment of the people that the pressure which has been brought to bear on congress properly to recognize the services of the dead and gone has been irresistible. A good deal of interest attaches to the proposed memorial arch at Valley Forge. It was there that Gen. George Washington and his army passed the awful winter of 1777-8, a time of suffering, starvation and danger from the enemy. As has been said, a bill authorizing the expenditure of $100,000 has been reported favorably from the library committee. There seems to be no opposition in congress to the appropriation, and a bill sanctioning it probably will be passed at the next session. I THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINN.. SATURDAY, AUGUST 20, 1910. Decorating the Scenes the Deeds ARK. PARIS WASHINGTON MONUMENT, WASHINGTON The money for the arches at Valley Forge is to be expended by the Valley Forge park commission under the direction of the secretary of war.

Since the establishment of the park, the Pennsylvania has appropriated $313,215 for acquisition and improvement of the land dings, including the Washington headquads and ground, which were acquired ago by condemnation, and made free dators. The park now contains 467 acres.

Since the establishment of the park, the state of Pennsylvania has appropriated $313,215 toward the acquisition and improvement of the land and buildings, including the Washington headquarters building and ground, which were acquired five years ago by condemnation, and made free to all visitors. The park now contains 467 acres. In 1901 the Daughters of the Revolution erected on the reservation an imposing granite shaft 50 feet high, called the Waterman monument. On the face of the monument is the following inscription: To the Soldiers of Washington's Army Who Sleep at Valley Forge, 1777-1778. Erected by the Daughters of the Revolution. On the south side is another inscription rows: Near This Spot Lies Lieutenant John Waterman, d April 23, 1778, Whose Grave Alone o His Comrades, Was Marked. s, another inscription as les Lleutenant John man, rose Grave Alone of All Was Marked. On the south side is another inscription as follows: Near This Spot Lies Lieutenant John Waterman, Died April 23, 1778, Whose Grave Alone of All His Comrades, Was Marked. It is estimated that there were 3,000 deaths in General Washington's army during the winter's stay in this camp. Most of the bodies were buried in the camp grounds. Five years ago the Daughters of the Revolution erected east of, but not far from where Varnum's brigade is supposed to have been encamped, a log hut of the exact dimensions erected by the soldiers under Washington. Above the door to this hut has been placed a tablet bearing the following inscription: On This Spot Stood One of the Huts Occupied by the Soldiers of Washington's Camp During the Winter of 1777-1778.

The great memorial arch at Valley Forge one of the few great arches of history represent something more than mere the battle of men. It was a moral and pious in one that Washington and his victory at Valley Forge. They conquered and they conquered rebellion against the wars of fate.

In the arch of Septimius there could be years after its erection, the informatory emperor had gained great victories over civilians. As one looks at this monument is interesting to recall that the man or woman who passed in triumph under it after invasion, was the one who built the wall in check the inroads of the fierce Scotchers. The Arch of Titus has but one arcance, and upon this there rested at one other spoil of war, the golden candlestle of Jerusalem, of which Titus Ius, had not left "one stone upon another of the other famous Roman arches, the arch of one erected in the days of the republic be traced, though of the structure which were little or nothing is known. It is this arch that Fabius Maximus walked after he had thoroughly thrashed the arch, but of which no trace exist that was erected in Syracuse in honor of the legate of Rome in Syracuse, for as every schoolboy knows, made it portable in one of his orations. There are still foundations left of the Aulus, "erected to commemorate the successor by the son of Augustus" wife." Napoleon commemorated his passage of the Simplon bridge, by erecting at the roar at Milan, an arch which is a magnificent copy of Roman models. Members of the senate committee on library, express the hope that eventually all the great battlefields of the Revolutionary and Civil wars in the states of Pennsylvania, Virginia and Maryland will be connected by boulevards. The great memorial arch at Valley Forge will be one of the few great arches of history which will represent something more than mere victory in the battle of men. It was a moral and physical victory in one that Washington and his men achieved at Valley Forge. They conquered privation and they conquered rebellion against the hardships of fate. The Romans were practically the originators of the memorial and triumphal arch. In fact, they used the ordinary building and bridge arch itself to a much greater extent than had ever been known before. Three of the great Roman triumphal arches are still standing. They are those of Titus, Septimius, Severus and Constantine. That of the first Christian emperor is by far the most beautiful. It marks the triumphal return from Gaul and Britain led as tradition has it, by the blazing cross of stars, with the luminous sign which bade him "conquer by this." In the Arch of Septimius there could be traced for years after its erection, the information that the emperor had gained great victories over the Parthians. As one looks at this monument today it is interesting to recall that the man and emperor who passed in triumph under it after its completion, was the one who built the wall in Britain to check the inroads of the fierce Scotch Highlanders. The Arch of Titus has but one arcade or entrance, and upon this there rested at one time with other spoils of war, the golden candlesticks of the Temple of Jerusalem, of which Titus in very truth, had not left "one stone upon another." Of the other famous Roman arches, the foundations of one erected in the days of the republic, may still be traced, though of the structure which rose above them little or nothing is known. It was under this arch that Fabius Maximus walked in triumph after he had thoroughly thrashed the Gauls. Another arch, but of which no trace exists, was one that was erected in Syracuse in honor of Veres, the legate of Rome in Syracuse, for whom Cicerio, as every schoolboy knows, made it so uncomfortable in one of his orations. There are still foundations left of the Arch of Drusus, "erected to commemorate the success won in Germany by the son of Augustus" wife." Napoleon commemorated his passage of the Alps by the Simpliour路, by erecting at the road's terminus at Milan, an arch which is a magnificently beautiful copy of Roman models. Defective Page MAY RULE CANADA Duke of Connaught Likely to Be Governor General. Popular Brother of the Late King Edward is Reported to Be Sited for Head of the Dominion Government. Ottawa, Can.-If the present program is adhered to the next governor general of Canada will be the Duke of Connaught, brother of the late King Edward. Such was the desire of the deceased monarch, and the probabilities are that the new King will not oppose the program. Canada appreciates the distinguished honor of having at the head of her government as the representative of the mother country so eminent a member of the royal family. Never before has one of the royal family occupied such a position, though Queen Victoria's daughter, a sister of the duke, was for years a resident of the Dominion when her husband, the Marquis of Lorne, now the Duke of Argyle, was governor general. At the same time the Canadians appreciate that society affairs at Rideau Hall, or Government House as it is sometimes called, the official residence of his excellency at Ottawa, will be upon a much grander scale than in the past, and that it will cost a pretty penny for those who try to be in the swim. Ottawa, more than ever, will become the social center. The Duke of Connaught is the only surviving son of Queen Victoria and is 60 years old. Her majesty had nine children, of whom the oldest was Princess Victoria, mother of Emperor William; she died in 1901. The second child was the late King Edward. The Princess Alice Maud Mary, mother of the present Czarina of Russia, died in 1876. Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh, died in 1900. Leopold, Duke of Albany, died in 1884. Beside the Duke of Connaught there survive Helena, Princess Christian of Schleswig-Holstein; Louise, Duchess of Argyle, and Beatrice, now Princess Henry of Battenberg. The Duke of Connaught married Princess Louise of Prussia in 1879, and has three children. His oldest daughter is Margaret, wife of Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden. His son is Prince Arthur Patrick, and his younger daughter is the beautiful and decidedly independent Princess Victoria Patricia. No princess in Europe has given such evidence of having a will of her HERN THE DUKE OF CORNWART PRINCESS Victoria PATTERN OF CORNWART own as has the Princess Patricia. Over and over again has a husband been selected for her by those wise in statecraft; but she has bundled these sutors off with slight ceremony and has repeatedly declared that she will have a husband of her own choosing or none at all. She is the most popular princess in England and was a favorite of her uncle, King Edward. Her name, which is a compliment to Ireland, alone makes her popular with the people of that part of the empire. The British government has a purpose in sending to Canada a prince of the royal blood. It is believed a governor general so close to the throne would tend to forward the empire movement and bring the Dominion in closer sympathy to the mother country. The governor general as a matter of fact has very little to do with the government of Canada. He has the power of veto but never exercises that right. Did he do so there would be as great a commotion as would occur if the King in England should set himself actively in opposition to the elected government. But nevertheless he has a tremendous influence, though it is operative only through social and diplomatic channels. His salary is $50,000 a year with an executive residence. Those governors general who have been most popular and influential have been those who have really come to love the Dominion and its people for themselves and have developed a deep interest in their welfare. Whether the duke and his family can forget the life in England to which he has been accustomed remains to be seen.

IS ALMOST 400 YEARS OLD This Fiddle an Interesting and Valu- able Example of the Medieval Violin Maker's Art. St. Louis, Mo.—Almost four hund- red years ago, to be precise in 1523, Gasparo Duffo Prugcar, of Bresia, a noted maker of sacred mosaics and violins, built a fiddle. Because he did it as a sacred labor he imparted to it a tone and an ornamentation which today makes it probably one of the most interesting and valuable examples of the medieval violin maker's art in the country. "The Old Man." The instrument is the property of Frederick L. Neddermeyer. The owner calls it affectionately "the old man," and plays it when he has a concerto or an aria that demands peculiar largeness of tone. The modern name of the violin has been gained from a finely carved head of St. Paul, which ornaments the end of the "handle," and which probably served as an inspiration to the original owner, undoubtedly a monk. Around the sides of the body of the instrument in large letters is carved this legend: "Nicolo de Roberti delta Domini arlese del Bresla." On the back are two mosaics, one the head of a monk, probably the man who played it when it was new, the other a picture of the monastery and city of Bresla. Mr. Neddermeyer secured the instrument some years ago through Mrs. Franz Kunze, wife of Dr. Kunze, and while he was studying in Leipside under the famous violin master, Hanz Sittl. The violin has a most beautiful tone, and some of its notes are almost 'cello like. BUILDING WITH A HISTORY Stands in Rennselaer, New York, and Is Supposed to be the Oldest in the United States. Albany, N. Y.—In the town of Rennselaer, N. Y., which lies directly across the Hudson from Albany, there stands an old weather-beaten building to which is attached a great deal of historic interest and import. It is unoccupied and is surrounded by tall weeds that the hand of neglect has fostered and raised in abundance. It is built of brick, is two stories high and the marks of many years stand prominent upon its battered front. A large tablet on its wall stands boldly to the public gaze and proclaims that the structure is supposed to be the oldest building in the United States. The date of its erection, according to the tablet, is 1642. The building was built as a manor house and place of defense and was known as Fort Cralo. While marching to attack Fort Tlceronderoga, in 1758, Gen- An Historic Building. eral Abercromble made his headquarters there. The tablet finally declares that Army Surgeon R. Shuckburg composed the popular national song, "Yankee Doodle," while upon the grounds near the old building. Gun holes may be seen in the front of the historic old structure, and the old flag pole, standing on its roof, is still prominent to view. Doubtless, there are many stories of bravery and courage which have never stolen into the pages of history connected with this manor house of the seventeenth century. The building is substantial even yet, it will see many years of standing before the hand of decay can tumble it into ruin. The house is one of the remaining relics of the days when our nation's spirit was tested and tried. New York—The jawhorses, the largest whale ever caught by Japanese whalers have arrived here, consigned to the Museum of Natural History. The bones weigh fifty-five tons—110,000 pounds. They are forty feet long and were transported from the steamship pier on a large truck drawn by twelve horses. The whale was caught off Mojj, Japan, and was more than 200 feet over all. The tail was thirty feet long. RARE CANVAS GONE Celebrated Painting Has Been a Mystery for Four Centuries—Savants Puzzled Over Beautiful Model's Smile. Paris. The "Mona Lisa" of Leonardo da Vinci, the world famous painting for which an offer of $5,000,000 is said to have been refused and which is reported to have been stolen from the Louvre in Paris, for 400 years has been as much a riddle as the Sphinx itself. But one man—Solomon Reinach, brother of the Reinach of notoriety in the Dreyfus affair—ever has been so brazen as to proclaim the solution of the smile that wreathes the face of the woman in the picture. His answer was laughed to scorn by art critics. Others have commented on the painting, but Relach alone authoritatively announced that the mystery was ended. The "Mona Lisa" for four centuries has stood a monument to French art. For four years—1501 to 1504—Da Vinci, friend of Francesco del Glocondo of Florence, spent his spare moments at work on the painting. The model was Mona Lisa Gherardini, third wife of Glocondo. According to Reinach, the lovelike expression on the face of the model is far from indicating love. Reinach asserts that Da Vinci painted the portrait gratis for his friend, when she was in deep grief, to divert her mind. He surrounded her with musicians, singers and buffoons to keep her in gentle gayety. He worked at the painting only when a certain expression appeared on his model's face, brought about by a peculiar strain of music. He bore no love for her, nor she for him. Reinach even went so far as to explain the deep melancholy of Mona Lisa. He declared that she was married in 1495 and until 1499 had no children. Then came a daughter. A death record of Florence, by which it appears that Fanculia, little daughter of Francesco del Glocondo and his wife, Mona Lisa, was buried from the Church of Santa Maria Novella on June 1, 1501, is cited by him. Whether Reinach's explanation is true or not, it was not received read- Mona Lisa ily by the French. It was known that Da Vinci had sold the painting to his patron, Francis I. of France, for 4,000 gold eucs shortly after its completion. The king kept it locked jealously in his gilded room at Fontainebleau, and upon the death of Francis I. Louis XIV, had it hung in his bed chamber at Versailles. Following his demise it was transferred to the Salon Carre, where it since had attracted world-wide attention. "What is she smiling at?" ever has been the unsolved riddle. To artista Mona Lisa's smile became in turn obviously saucy, sportive, flirtatious and even naughty, while plain people called her the "jocund one." Taine discovered in the smile that Mona Lisa had been at least flirting with Leonardo da Vinci, flattering him and railing against her husband. Michelet, the historian, said that he used to go to the portrait "in spite of himself, as the bird goes to the snake." Theophile Gautier discovered that the subject of the painting was flirting with the whole world, "this strange creature whose look promises unknown joys and whose expression is divinely ironic." "She smiles with mocking voluptuousness on the thousands who admire her," was the comment of Arsene Houssaye, manager of the Theater Francais, who saw "shining from that smile only the soul of Leonardo in love." Walter Patter revealed to the world that it was an encyclopedia, "In this beauty," he said, "the soul appears with all its affections. All the thoughts and experiences of the world have left their traces on it—the animalism of Greece, the lubricity of Rome, the revery of the middle ages, the return of paganism, the sins of the Borgias!" And supplementing this, the illustrious Italian Carotti declared: "She is the emanation of the intellectual, sentimental and poetic power of her time, with all the mystery of the human soul and all its destiny." In Europe the painting also is called "La Joconde" and "Gloconda" and in art circles it is considered to rank second in value only to the Sistine Madonna by Raphael. Both are priceless. $2.40 PER YEAR Da Vinci's "Mona Lisa." MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY. HAVE YOU READ THE APPEAL? ST. PAUL OFFICE No. 236 UNION BLOCK, 4TH & CEDAR J. Q. ADAMS, Manager.

It is very interesting to read some of the things said during the war of the rebellion, but which have now almost faded from the memories of men. The New York Sun reproduces the following: Here is what one of the orators said, and he was a minister of the gospel at that, and hailed from the loyal state of Iowa: The American people are ruled by felons. With all his vast armies, Lincoln has failed! failed! failed! failed! And still the moster usurp er wants more victims for his slaughter pens. I blush that such a felon should occupy the highest gift of the people. Perjury and larceny are written al over him. Ever since the usurper, traitor, and tyrant has occupied the presidential chair the Republican party has chouted war to the knife and the knife to the hilt. Blood has flowed in torrents, and yet M.

The customs receipts for the fiscal year 1909-19-0 were $333,043,800. The greater part of the year has been under the Payne tariff law. The receipts for the last nine years were as follows: 1902, $254,444,708.10; 1903, $284,470,581; 1904, $261,274,564.81; 1905, $261,856.91; 1906, $300,251,877.77; 1907, $322,233,362.70; 1908, $286,113,130.29; 1909, $300,711,533.98; 1910, $333,043,800.00. the thirst of the old monster is not quenched.

WATCH YOUR DAUGHTER A Chicago daily paper tells a story of two young girls who eloped from Cincinnati in a stolen automobile, with two young men who pawned their jewelry and deserted them, peniless in this city, and says, "Watch your daughter." It is good advice for the Caucasian parent and it is even better for the Afro-American; for our daughters are far more exposed than those of the white race, and they have much less protection, for they are considered the legitimate prey of the scoundrels of both races. So we repeat to the Afro-American parent: "WATCH YOUR DAUGHTER!" "HOW DID HE GET IT?" "What is needed more in business is a less elastic conscience and a greater disposition to ask, not 'how much has he got?' but 'how did he get it?'—Chicago Tribune. The complaint thus made is as old as Juvenal, who says the same thing, and the Tribune is as unable as Juvenal to suggest a remedy. The whole nation seems to be tarred with the same stick, and engaged in the same hypocritical performance of compounding for sins they are inclined to, by damning those they have no mind to. THE PALESTINE MASSACRE That the killing of the Afro-Americans in Texas was simply a wanton, savage butchery, without even the usual palliations for such occurrences, is evident from the testimony of good citizens of the state. It was a butchery which puts that of Kishinev in eclipse and surpasses that of Bialystok. The whole country, not Texas alone, is disgraced by such a demonstration that a large portion of the citizens of Texas are as savage as the Cossacks and as ferocious as the Modoc Indians.

In Alabama a man charged with murder went free because the clerk of the courts in writing the word "malice" in the indictment left out the letter "i." In North Carolina an enraged citizen shot a neighbor through the breast, inflicting a wound which resulted in the latter's death and his own arrest for murder. A short time later, however, he was released from custody. In the indictment the clerk had spelled breast "b-r-e-s-t." The court held that the misspelled indictment was not legal and freed the prisoner. The most sensible train of thought concerning the Reno fight comes from the Mayor of Toledo, Ohio: "Some persons talk as if this prize fight had decided the question of supremacy between the black and white races," he said "Why, I would not be surprised if Mr. Johnson could whip Tolstoi. Perhaps he could whip Mr. Roosevelt. And I have no doubt that Mr. Jeffries in his present battered condition could defeat Booker T. Washington." Those good people who think that a special delivery stamp makes it a safe plan to send valuables in the envelopes need to be reminded that such is not the case. It is very risky business to send valuables in that way. 1920 administration the Postal Deficit Has 100 in Nine Months, an Unprece- ry of the Department. - G. Wells in the N. Y. Independent A. B. A Committee of Fifty Is Considering the Advisability of Building-a Lincoln Memorial in Washington City. Much of the deterioration of our national morals is due to the actions of well-meaning but silly people who adopt with eagerness almost any plan to raise funds for the promotion of a good object without any reference to its propriety or impropriety. In our opinion, just such a plan as what is called "tag day." We should be a little slow in expressing this opinion were we not in accord with some of the sanest thinkers of the country. Thus, the New York Times says: "To send out a lot of women and children with a license, formal or informal, to accost everybody they meet on the street or can corner in homes and offices is a fairly efficient device for extorting small sums of money from more or less reluctant givers, but it cannot be defended in either economics or morality, and its result is much more likely to dry up the springs of charity than to set them flowing more freely. Nothing could possibly be more demoralizing to those who take part in this sort of blackmail, for besides the education in highway beggary and its potentialities as a source of income which it gives them their minds can hardly fail to acquire most incorrect ideas as to philanthropy and social betterment." This is the sober truth, yet we have seen the most prominent women of a certain city running the streets, tagging the lowest characters. Tom, Dick and Harry, and encouraging the most disgusting familiarities, and, in some instances provoking real insults. We hope that "tag day" will never become a national institution. The main argument now used against state-wide prohibition laws is that they do not prohibit. It is an argument not invented by the liquor interests and used by them exclusive ABRAHAM A Committee of Fifty Is Considering Memorial in W ly, but is the conclusion arrived at by many disinterested observers. The Indianapolis News gives the following summary of results: "Just now Greene county is much disturbed over these conditions. The clubs are comparatively numerous and positively successful. It is said that practically any discreet person can get a drink in them—presumably on a visitor's ticket or some such liberal arrangement. The Jasonville neighborhood is said to consume a carload of beer a day, and Linton takes from forty to sixty cases. Naturally, there is more or less drunkenness, which is far from satisfactory to the good citizens of a county that voted "dry" by a majority of nearly 3,000, as Greene did." Similar accounts come from so many other quarters that it would require a vast amount of reliable testimony to controvert them. In consequence it is very easy to see that the prohibition wave is receding very rapidly; it has been demonstrated that state-wide prohibition is a failure THE APPEAL never endorsed the movement, as it was easy to see 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 America 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 District of Columbia from the street parade. Ten thousand Caucasians, East Indians, Chinese, Japanese, Siames, Malays, Hawaiians and members of various colored races, paraded the streets of the National capital sing- --- ing "Onward, Christian *Solditrst!* Only three Afro-Americans were in the procession, the District of Columbia and Virginia would not permit colored American Christians in the parade. It was the most unchristian, un-American incident which has occurred in many years President Tirikeld of Howard University, the Boston delegation and every British delegate entered vigorous protest against the action, but the Congress as a body paid no attention to the protests and the resolutions 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 deploring the evils of the liquor traffic among the backward races, etcetera, etcetera, ad nauseam, the resolutions closed with commendation of the local committee. Now if the Congress is a Christian organization, it is the opinion of THE APPEAL that it ought to have denounced and repudiated the unchristian action of the Washington local committee and the stand of the Virginia delegation.

THE PERVERSE CAUCASIAN ED ITORS. 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." TUSKEGEE GAMM Normal and Industrial Instituition The foregoing is true in reference LINCOLN the Advisability of Building a Lincoln washington City. 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 deciency 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. Have You Heard Mrs. Cora E.

Min Secretary to the success in his act and skill and all who have of Executive. During the recent trial of Will Coleman, 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 him up "same as white folks." 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." The statement that Jack Johnson intends to invest $168,000 in United States bonds shows that the champion has some correct ideas on some other matters besides pugilism. Charles D. Norton, Secretary to the President, is a great success in his new place. He has tact and skill and succeeds in pleasing all who have business with the Chief Executive.

This is a hall (or rather a building, for the whole building will be used), which we have had a hall before, nor have we ever had a hall in the United Commercial Travelers, or old Elks' hall, over Field & Schick'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 CEELEBRATION is to follow along the same general lines of the graduates' reception and as in some respects the accommodations and appointments surpassed in the United Elks' hall and as 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 granite pillars and broad stone steps and the outside will give you an idea of what must be used. Then go home and begin to set ready to titipate (if you are to be so fortunate) in the most recherech local social function ever witnessed in St. Paul. St. James Church To have watched the crowds pouring out of St. James last Sunday, going in all directions, one would have thought that all of the church-going people of St. Paul had worshipped in St. James Church. Long before services started, the people were entering the church, and Madam Rose Lee Tyler, who sang, said she never, in all of her travels, faced a more inspiring audience. At night, a splendid congregation was on hand and listened to the graduating exercises of the primary department of the Sunday School. There were eight bright and beautiful girls and one boy, who were raised to the higher department. They were under the charge of Mrs. Ella Cannon. The choir will be augmented tomorrow by Mrs. Addie Minor, St. Paul's greatest soloist. She is, possibly, the greatest singer of the race, who is content to remain home and devote her time to her family. This fact, together with her marvelous voice, makes her the idol of St. Paul, among those who revel in music and song. Sunday is Educational Day, and the public will be given an opportunity to learn something of our great educational system. At night the Rev. Mr. Jensen, D. D., of the Danish Presbyterian church, will preach. The Rev. Jensen is the actor-preacher of the city, having played the part of Romeo for ten years on the stage of Europe. The program for the evening exercises is follows: "The History of Wilberforce," Pres. B. C. Archer. "Advancement of the Educational Work of Wilberforce," Miss Erma Valley, a student. "Wilberforce Industrial School in South Africa," Miss Mamie Hubbard. Solo, Miss Bessie Roberts. "The History of Payne University," Miss Proteau, a teacher. "Payne Theological, Seminary," Miss Hattle Pettis, a student. "Payne Institute," Wilson Strcgs. "Lillian Derrick," Miss Marca Valley, president. "History of Shaffer Industrial School, West Africa," Horace Graves. "History of Wayman Institute," Miss Florence Vassar. "Flagler High School," Byron Riffe. "History of Western University," Mrs. Ella Cannon. "History of Allen University," Robt. Strong. "History of Campbell College," Henry Crawford. "Morris College" Mrs. Ellen Joy Cornet Solo, M. T. R. Morgan. PROF. J. W. LUCA. Gone to His External Rest in Mansions Above. Prof. John W. Luca, who, for thirty years, has been a resident of St. Paul and figured largely in musical circles, has gone to join the angel choir and forever more sings peaks of praise for the Lamb that was slain. Prot. Luca died at the City hospital on last Wednesday morning, aged 79 years. He is one of the famous Luca family that was perhaps the first company of its kind in New England, his father having taken out a sort of wagon show long before the civil war. He was at one time quite wealthy for that day, but died almost peniless. He was for a long time chorister for St. James A. M. E. church and was identified with all the musical movements and undertakings during his life here. His funeral was preached at St. James church, of which he has for years been a member, yesterday afternoon by Rev. J. S. Strong. His friends of a nationalities joined in giving him a splendid burial interment at Forest cemetery. He is survived by a wife, from whose side he was separated, a daughter, a brother and a sister, all of whom reside elsewhere. SIXTEENTH ANNUAL SESSION. Grand Lodge F & A. M. of Minnesota.

How a Little Wisdom Came to the Wises The Wise's house looked homelike to the long legged bird that hovered overheard. Favorably impressed, he softly deposited on the steps, his wee burden of blessedness. The Wise's pleasure at the Stork's thoughtfulness was tempered by Mrs. Wise's following illness and her inability to provide nourishment for the Blessing. It looked as tho the precious gift might be taken away. Wise's doctor saved the day. He said "DIGESTO." Mrs. Wise became healthy and rosy and the Blessing became healthy and rosy. One more credit mark for DIGESTO. It is a necessity before and after the Stork's visit. For Sale by All Druggists MANUFACTURED BY THEO. HAMM BREWING CO. ST. PAUL, MINN.
