The Appeal

THE APPEAL KEEPS IN FRONT BECAUSE: 1-It aims to publish all the news possible. 2-It does so impartially, writing no words. 3-Its correspondents are able and energetic. Gun-Runners of the Persian Gulf peans and, unhappily, by British merchants. The sultan, who is under British protection, derives a large revenue from it, but although negotiations with him for its prohibition might require diplomatic handling owing to his treaty obligations with at least one other power, it is the only effective means of avoiding the outpouring of blood and treasure on the Indian fornitier. At present the efforts of the British navy are handicapped by the fact that the hydrographical conditions of Muscat, as indeed of the whole littoral of the gulf, do not allow preventive ships to go very close to the coast. It is this fact which enables the gun-running shows to escape the vigilance of British cruisers. Thus the dhows which put out from Muscat with their contraband cargoes adopt the simple plan of hugging the coast within the shallow-water limits. If they are making for Kowelt, which is the center of the gun trade for Mesopotamia and western Persia, they can proceed all the way in comparative safety, otherwise they sail just far enough to be in a position to make a dash for Jask or some other port on the Makran coast, where their cargoes are received for conveyance by caravan al Baluchistan to Afghanistan and the northwest frontier Khels. The two most active firms engaged in this trade are owned by a Baluch and a Frenchman. There are also in Muscat numerous small shops engaged in the trade, and numbers of the agents are "banlai" from India. Mysterious cargoes are also dropped overboard in the dead of night into hiding dhows and go home without places around the coast. It will be impossible to check this growing peril to England's peace in India without a large number of small-traught patrol boats and an efficient coastguard on the Makran coast. "No craft," says Mr H. Warrington Smyth, in "Mast and Sail in Europe and Asia," has played a greater part in the world's history than the show.

In large large sections of the tribesmen like the Mah- HE feeling is growing throughout the Indian army and Indian government circles that Britain is approaching a bigger campaign on the northwest frontier than has been seen in recent years. Not only are they keen to treat enemies like the Mahsud Waziris and others exhibiting signs of increasing turbulence, but the frontier territories from one end to the other are already full of modern arms and ammunition, while more is pouring into them every day by every secluded track leading through Baluchistan and the Afghan hills. In addition to this, the present Ameer, abandoning his father's policy, has allowed thousands of modern rifles manufactured in the arsenal at Kabul to reach the hands of his own triumph, and the probable co-operation of the Indian frontier war against the Indian Raj may easily involve the British government with Afghanistan as well. All this, as every Indian officer knows, is involved in the continuance of the persistent gun-running which is marking the growing war fever on the Indian northwest frontier through the Persian gulf. It is not too much to say that the peace and safety of India depend upon the suppression of this conflict and yet, owing chiefly to the paucity of the resources there, she can do little or nothing. Muscat, at the entrance of the gulf, is the chief center of this farfarous traffic, which is carried on by Euro- ENTRAINING CAMELS TO COUNTERACT GUN-RUNNING peans and, unhappily, by British merchant sultan, who is under British protection, large revenue from it, but although no with him for its prohibition might require handling owing to his treaty with at least one other power, it is the tive means of avoiding the outpouring and treasure on the Indian fortier. At present the efforts of the British handicapped by the fact that the hydr conditions of Muscat, as indeed of the toral of the gulf, do not allow prever to go very close to the coast. It is this enables the gun-running shows to escap lance of British cruisers. ARABIAN SEA The bird's-eye view tory through which he are run.

Oman is an ate occupying the s THE SULTAN OF OMAN soon, and quite capable of holding its own in the hard weather often to be met with in the Indian ocean. Notwithstanding local differences of detail these vessels vary very little as a class; they are generally grab-built, having a long overhang forward. There is great beam and rise of floor and a very raking transom stern. There is generally a high poop and focele deck, the rest of the vessel being practically open. The rig consists generally of main and mizzen latens. The main-mast is a big spar stepped amidships, with a great rake forward." A correspondent from India writes that the British gunboats in the Persian Gulf have been very active in suppressing the traffic in rifles and ammunition. The arms were being landed on the Makran coast and thence were carried by caravans for sale to the tribesmen on the northwest-eastern counter of India, to be used against the British troops when the next trouble comes. The navy men are reported to have been very successful, and more several good hauls of rifles and ammunition. To reduce still further the gun-runers' chances of failure, four companies of the Fourteenth Sikhs were sent from Ouest to intercept caravans in the neighborhood of Robat. One of our illustrations depicts the entraining of some of the transport camels at Jacobabad in Sind, en route to Nushki, whence the column marched to Robat. As a rule, when camels are entrained they are loaded on open trucks, but on this occasion it was thought advisable to make use of closed cars. The "outs" strongly objected to being loaded, but with a rope behind the hocks and a steady, persuasive strain on the nose rope they were eventuated to haulled or pushed in. Once in the car the camels had to kneel down in the sand which had been applauded, their knees were then tied so that it was impossible for them to straighten out their forelegs. The cars were each loaded with six camels, three in each end, facing inward. The space in the middle was utilized for saddles and fodder for the journey. Two camelmen also traveled in each car. It may be remarked that Brahuis differ from most people in that they do not notice that the camel has a particularly offensive odor. The camels bubbled and protested while being loaded, but they soon settled down and began to eat the fodder provided for them. It took five hours to load the first train of 120 camels. *Only one camel that had an unusually large hump could not be pushed through the door, and he was tossed the chicken and carried bodily in by about 15 men. THE APPEAL. The bird's-eye view shows the territory through which the contraband guns are run. In the foreground are the bare rocky hills surrounding Muscat, the capital of Oman, while to the right is the gun-running route lead inland to Afghanistan. Oman is an independent sultanate occupying the southeastern end of the peninsula of Arabia. It reaches along the Persian gulf, the gulf of Oman and the Arabian sea from El Hasa to the Hadramat region. The area is about 80,000 sq. m² squares. Along the coast the region is very mountainous, rising in its highest peaks· probably to about 10,000 feet. Behind the mountain chains the country gradually passes into the great desert of Arabia. The most favorable part of the country is in the mountains, which are characterized by a temperate climate and rich vegetation. The chief products are dates, which constitute the main article of export, and other fruits. Pearls IN THE PERSIAN GULF inner-of-pearl and fish are also of some com-importance.

The chief port is Muscat. It is situated between two hills and looks out to sea, as shown in the view of the Persian gulf accompanying this article. The population of Oman is estimated at 1,500,000, and consists of several tribes of Arab origin, partly nomadic. The negro element is very numerous. Muscat was taken by the Portuguese in 1508 and remained in their hands until the middle of the seventeenth century, when the Arabs of the interior secured possession of it. The imams or sultans of Muscat afterwards made extensive conquests in eastern Africa, including Zanzibar, Mombar and Quilon. Oman was at the climax of its power and prosperity in the first half of the nineteenth century, when the imams or sultans extended over the Persian territories of Laristan and Mogistan, the islands of Bender Abbas, part of the coast of Baluchistan, and the long strip of African coastline including Zanzibar, Mombasa and Quilla, together with the island of Socotra. The present ruling family originated in Yemen and was first established in the imamate in the person of Ahmed Ibn Said in 1741. The rise of the Wahabi power in Neded resulted in a considerate shift to territory. In 1856, on the death of Sultan Said, the possessions divided between his two sons, one receiving the territories and the other Muscat, with the Persian possessions. These last were lost in 1875. Sultan Thuwany, who succeeded in Muscat, was assassinated in 1866 by his son Selim, who reigned but a short time, and was driven out by his sire, Seyed Feisal ibn Turkl. The power of the imam is exercised very little beyond the capital, Muscat, the name of which is therefore probably better known in popular usage than that of the whole state.

Genius Who Holds 15,000 Patents and Whose Air Brake is in Universal Use on Railroad Trains of the World. New York—The recent retirement of George Westinghouse, for nearly twenty-five years head of the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing company, recalls the career of this Napoleon of invention. For many years the name of George Westinghouse has been a name to conjure with. The man has been a modern fulfillment of the Aladdin lamp idea. Everything he rubbed with his inventive genius became a wonder article; everything he touched turned to gold. First it was the fami- air brake, that great appliance by which Napoleon lived the Napoleon lost in all his battles." Then it was the system of operating railway signals and switches by compressed air; after which the incandescent lamp, the gas engine, the steam turbine, electrical motors and machines by the score, and a thousand other inventions that placed Mr. Westinghouse at the time of his retirement in control of the largest aggregation of patented appliances in the world. Fifteen thousand patents lie in his strong box. His activities circle the globe there are Westinghouse plants, Canada, Great Britain, Germany and France. His parent plants are of course in or near Pittsburgh, more especially Wilmerding. To condense the career of this man, who ranks with Watt, Stephenson, Morse and Whitney, into a paragraph or two, the biographers tell us that he was born at Central Bridge, Schoharie county, New York, on October 6, 1846. A decade later his parents moved to Schenectady, where his father became in time connected with the prosperity class as owner of certain agricultural works. The tinkering son divided his attention between the school and the George Westinghouse. shop; when he wasn't masticating his books, he was monkeying with the buzz-saw. At fifteen he had invented and made a rotary engine. One day the notion struck him that he'd like to help Uncle Sam out in the navy. So he took a shot at the examinations and scored a hit, landing a job as an engineer. Before he reported for duty the Civil War had broken out. He enlisted in the Twelfth New York National Guard, re-enlisted the cavalry, and finally turned up on the high seas as an engineer on the gunboats Muscota and the Stars and Stripes. After Gottsberg was fought and won, his thirst for more education landed him in Union college. Two years there were enough for him. The magic of machinery called him away from the academic life, and he found happiness again by taking up his old job as the father's factory. It was while working at Railroad managers who first jeered at his idea of "tipping a train with wind" had to eat a crow. In a short time the invention was in universal use and had revolutionized railroading, as locomotives could be constructed that would travel at a high rate of speed, so long as they had that little lever in the cab, which by a single turn of the engineer's wrist would bring the train to a standstill in half its length. In United States all railroads are controlled by law to the device, and this was adopted by congress and everywhere around the curve of the world the "whistle of Westinghouse" air brake is heard. His first prominence in electricity came with his purchase from Gaulard & Gibbs of alternating electric current patents. This was in 1885, and he met great opposition from public sentiment in trying to perfect and introduce this system for lighting and power making. At the time of the Chicago world's fair in 1883 he reused the same lighting by making a bid of $1,000,000 under others. His shop in Pittsburgh soon became the place where electrical parts of the world gathered. Tesla went there and received Westinghouse's financial and practical help in developing the induction motor. Westinghouse built the first ten great dynamos for Niagara. He also constructed the dynamos for the elevated and subway lines in New York. STEEPLEJACK MILLER DEAD Famous "Human Fly." Who Finally Met His Fate by a Fall at Los Angeles. Los Angeles, Cal.—Steeplejack Miller, famous in every large city in the United States, and the man who has probably raked his neck more than any other man in the world. Is dead. He tell to his death from the seventh story of the Hamburger building in Los Angeles. Miller was known in every large city as the "human fly." It was his boast that he could scale the side of any building in the world where he could find a handhold on. Recently he climbed to the ninth floor of the Flatiron building in New York, Steeplejack Miller, using nothing to aid hir: in the climb but the projecting stones and crevices on the side. He would have gone on to the roof had he not been stopped by the police. He climbed buildings in New York, Chicago, Pittsburgh, New York, Philadelphia, St. Louis and in act over large city in the country. That was the way he made his living. While he scaled the side of the building and performed dizzy stunts from the edge of the roof, a partner would pass the hat among the crowd below, and in this manner quite a respectable sum could be picked up. None knew the man's true name. He left home when he was fourteen years of age and took to climbing as a profession, and followed it all his life. Up to the time of his death he had never had a fall, and it was his boast that he would die in bed, despite his dangerous calling. On his last trip up the side of the Hamburger building, when he reached the seventh floor he mistook a shadow for a handhold and stepped confidently for what appeared to be a fine hold. Then was the scraping sound of flesh rushing against the stone side of the building with rush forward by the crowd, and that a body swung outward and dropped, turning over and over in the air. At the third floor he struck a cluck, bounding from there to the street, where he lay, with every bone in his body broken. He died a few hours later. INDIANS WITH FLAT HEADS Northwestern Tribe Among Whom Mechanical Compression of the Head Is Still Practised. Seattle, Wash.—The Chinook Indians of the Pacific coast region are now about the only tribe of American aborigines who flatten their heads, whence the term applied to them—Flatheads. This compression of the head, brought about by mechanical Two Flathead Indians. means, is applied in infancy and the process is continued from several months. In time most of the effects of the flattening process wear away and the head gradually tends to assume normal shape. Originally head-flattening was practised among various tribes, including the Chickasaws, Chochaws, Cariba, Toltecs and the ancient Peruvians, and the custom was ascribed, but very erroneously, to the Sellish Indians, who never indulged in the practice at all. The Chinooks live along the Strait of Pace and are chiefly a fishing and maritime people. They commonly diminutive, with ill-shaped limbs and unproposessing features and that complexion is darker than that of the other redskins of the northwest. Stork May Bring Pension.

London.—When Halley's comet set all Europe gazing skyward, no society beauty was more eagerly courted by enterprising photographers than was the comet by the patient astronomers of Greenwich, whose photographic telescopes were kept searching the heavens, to note the arrival of the periodic visitor on the sensitive plate of the camera. Nor was the vigilance unrewarded. More than one distinct impression of the brilliant object is now on view at the Royal observatory, Greenwich. This success has revived interest in this historic institution by the Thames, but few outside scientific circles know much of the history and details of the almost conventional group of buildings on That fair hill where hoary sages boast To name the stars and count the heavenly host. Yet probably no hill in the world has had so strangely varied a history, or played so important a part in the affairs of men. The granite line across the footpath on its summit is the meridian from which the longitude on every British map and chart is calculated. All England sets its time by the mean-solar clock; and in addition to the daily and nightly observations of the heavens, elaborate records are kept of diurnal changes in the temperature and humidity, the direction and force of the wind, the amount of The Tower of Greenwich. sunshine and rainfall, the earth's magnetism and a host of meteorological matters forming a science of daily increasing importance and interest. There is a large galvano-magnetic clock, fixed on the outside wall of the observatory, and divided into 24 hours. There are still many who believe this clock is kept going by the sun. They do not know that the fixed stars are the real timekeepers, from which Britishers check their daily progress. The Sidereal clock, kept within one of the buildings of the observatory, is corrected by observation of the stars Woman Selling the Time. every clear night, and every morning before ten o'clock the mean solar clock is checked from it. The latter is housed below the timeball on the tower which 'dominates' the hill and is in magnetic connection with the clock in the boundary wall, which has furnished the correct time to countless visitors to the hill since it was placed there in 1832. To this galvano-magnetic clock in the wall comes every Monday a woman who makes $2,500 a year out of the queerest occupation in England. She sells the time to London watchmakers. Her name is Miss Belleville of Maldenhead. Eighty years ago the then astronomer royal suggested to her father that if he took the corrected time on a certified chronometer every week he could no doubt find numerous clients. So he bought a famous watch made for the duke of Essex, one of the sons of George III, and soon worked up a business with When he died his widow sold the time till she reached the age of eighty-one, and then she handed the business over to her daughter. When Miss Belleville visits Greenwich at the beginning of every week her chronometer is corrected and she is given an official certificate.

It is probable that many of our readers are puzzled, as we have been, to know just what is the trouble be- tween Spain and the Vatican, and they will be glad to read the follow- ing extract from the Post, which seems to explain the matter briefly and clearly. The Post says: “Many of the Catholies believe that the gov- ernment is right in insisting on the withdrawal of many of the religious orders, the members of which are en- gaged in commercial pursuits, and, being exempt from taxation, have an advantage over their laymen com- petitors.”* Everybody knows of the intimate connection of church and state which has existed in Spain from the earliest times, but the main point to be seen is just how that union effects the pockets of the common people.

OPPOSED TO UNIVERSAL EXPE- RIENCE, It has remained for Chicago's wo- man superintendent of schools to say the sensible thing to the pupils about handwriting. “Write any way you please,” says Mrs. Young, “but write legibly and fast.” The foregoing is from the Chicago ‘Tribune, which warmly commends the sentiment of Mrs. Young. But THE APPEAL is not so sure that Mrs, Young has said the sensible thing, just because it is opposed to universal experience. A music teach- er who should instruct his pupils: Finger any way you please, would soon be voted a first-class idiot. And again, THE APPHAL is not sure that the two things “any way you please” and “legibly” are compatible. So we shall take the matter under ad- visement, THINGS SAID DURING THE WAR.

Naturally, there is more or less’ drunkenness, which is far from satisfactory to the good citi zens of a county that voted “dry” by a majority of nearly 2,000, as Greene aia.” Simflar accounts come from sc many other quarters that it would ve ‘quire a vast amount of reliable testi mony to cqntrovert 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 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 Amer- ica te stand squarely in opposition to the color line, ean be found than the recent episoile in the International Sunday School Congress, which met in Washington, D. C., last week. The Congress is alleged to be a meeting of Snnday school workers from every land, but the' local committee decides to bar all Afro-Americans of the Dis. trict of Columbia from the street po- rade. Ten thousand Caueasians, East In- dians, Chinese, Japanese, Siamese, Malavs, Hawaitens and members of varions eolored races, paraded the sti€ets ofthe National capital sing- ing “Onward, Christian Solditrs!” Only three (Afro-Americans were in the:processiqn, the Distrfet of Cohim- bia and Vitgtata would tot permit colored American Christians in the parade. : It was the most unchristian, un- American incident which has occur- red in many/years President Ynirkield of Howard Uni- versity, the| Boston delegation and every British delegate entered vigor- lous protest against the action, but ithe Congresd as & body paid no atten- tion to the ‘protests and the resolu- tions adopted while setting forth that ‘the highest aim and missioa of the Sunday school is to teach the Bible to. al! people and all lands and de- ploring the evils of the lquor trafic among the backward races, etcetera, jetcetera, ad mauseam, the resolutions eloset with: commendation of the lo- cal committee. Now if the Congress is a Christian organization, it is the opinion of THE APPEAL that It ought to have de- nouaced and repudiated the unchris- tian action of the Washington local committee and the stand of the Vir- ginla delegation. THE PERVERSE CAUCASIAN ED- 1TORS. 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. stances 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. ‘THE PALESTINE MASSACRE. ‘That the killing of the Afro-Ameri- cans in Texas was simply a wanton, | Savage butchery, without even the jusual palliations for such occur ‘ences, is evident from the testimony [of good citizens of'the state. | It was a butchery which puts tha of Kischinev in eclipse and surpasse: that of Bialystok. ‘The whole coun try, not Texas alone, is disgraced b3 such a demonstration that a larg portion of the citizens of Texas are as savage as the Cossacks and as fe cious fas the Modoc Tndians. Te surprising that the Austrian govern ‘ment is throwing every possible ob. stacle in the way of the migration of ‘her citizens to the South? “HOW DID HE GET IT?” “What is needed more in busines: is a less clastic conscience and ¢ greater disposition io ask, not *how much has he got?” but ‘how did he get if?"—Chicago Tribune. ‘The complaint thus made is as old as Juvenal, who says the same thing, and the Tribune is as unable az Juvenal to suggest a remedy. The whole nation scems to be tarred with the same stick, and engaged in the same hypeeritical performance of compounding for sing they are in: clined to, by damuing those they have no mind to. “SAME AS WHITE FOLKS.” | During the recent trial of Will Cole- man, an Afro-American, at Greenville, Miss., 2 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 w| “same s 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 a good deal in it. A great number of the crimes of the Afro-Americans ‘| the South is due to the desire of the! Afro-American to do the “same as the white folks.” DOINGS IN AND ABOUT THE. GREAT “FLOUR CITY."

THE APPEAL has the pleasure to announce that it has been so very fortunate and highly favored as to secure on its program for the Quarto-Centennial Celebration, Monday, September 12, the highly cultured pianist, Mrs. Charles Yancey of Edina, Minn., who will on that occasion make her initial bow to a St. Paul audience. Mrs. Yancey, nee Helen Abbott Watkins, is an Afro-Canadian who comes of two well-known families, being the niece of Dr. A. R. Abbott of Toronto, Can., and a granddaughter of the late Rave. William Watkins of Baltimore, MD. She is also a near relative of the poetess and lecturer, Mrs. Francis Watkins Harper. This charming young Canadian pianist is a gold medal honor graduate in the Metropolitan School of Music in Toronto, and also a member of its staff of instructors. She won three scholarships during her musical course, two of which were open to all competitors from the city. She has given several recitals in Toronto before large and delighted audiences and has elicited flattering commendations from the press. The Toronto News said, in reviewing one of her recitals: Handel's "Harmonious Blacksmith" and Schubert-Listz's "Hark! Hark! the Lark!" were played in magnificent style by Miss Helen A. Watkins, a young lady whose polished technique and poetic interpretations bespeak for her a brilliant future. Still higher praise was bestowed upon her by the Toronto Globe: The Nordheimer Concert Hall was on Saturday afternoon the scene of a delightful recital by Miss Helen Watkins, a talented pupil of Mr. W. O. Forsyth, who made a striking impression by her playing. She, in fact, was a talented performer of the characteristics usually observable in virtuosus of the delicately tem- MRS. CHARLES B. YANCEY. pered yet emotional order, kept evenly in hand by good judgment. Her success was pronounced. Her repertoire ranges from the severely classical to the modern romantic school of piano playing. Mr. W. J. O'Forsyth, director of the Music School of Music, has this to say of his brilliant friend A. Watkins of Toronto, who is one of my most talented pupils, has studied the piano with me for several years and has developed during this time not only a splendid technical equipment, but a fine conception and appreciation of the beautiful in music. Her tone is rich and warm and voluminous; she plays with brilliance, verve and abandon." To hear this talented artist will be afforded to the treats that he will present to THE APPEAL'S Quarto-Centennial Celebration, but this alone is well worth the price of admission. BROOKLYN EDMUND S. DURMENT. Republican Candidate for Renomination for Senator 36th District. Senator Durment is a candidate for renomination as State Senator from the District which he has so ably and well represented during the last four years. He has lived in the district for twenty-five years, having come into it as a young man twenty-five years ago. In that time he has grown and added to his legal practice, the leading lawyers in the state of Minnesota. He is distinguished, not only for his ability as a lawyer, but for his honesty, independence and fairness. At different times during his residence in this city he has exhibited in a signal manner that he is not only independent and fearless, but really is imbued with the true American spirit, which is that the citizenship and rights of the people are the same, or whatever race, creed, color or condition. If ability, fitness, honesty and previous good public service count for anything, he will easily be renominated. AL. P. ERICKSON 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 merit 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. Don't fail to vote for him at the primaries.

There will be no mistake made by those who give nim their support at the primaries. THE QUARTO CENTENNIAL An Assured Success—Everybody indores it.

M. W. FITZGERALD Republican Candidate for Register of Deeds, Ramsey Co. Michael W. Fitzgerald, the true and tried Republican, who has shown his eminent fitness for the office of Register of Deeds by the ability with which he has managed the office during several terms. That he is the people's candidate is shown in no uncertain way by his several elections. He comes before his friends, the people, asking for a renomination and that the people will renominate and elect him goes without saying. He's all right, so don't forget him at the primaries. Don't miss the big State Fair from Sept. 5 to 10, inclusive.

Celebration 10 September 12 The Attorney of Management for THE APPPAREE of the annual 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 building, for the whole never had been used), which we have never had used, and we have had a hall that in elegance approximates 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' reception and as in some respects the accommodations and appointments 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 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 will give you an idea of what the inside must be like. This home and begin to get ready to participate (if you are to be so fortunate) in the most recherechal local social function ever witnessed in St. Paul.

"In Old Kentucky," the popular and successful Blue Grass drama of national repute, whose record of success is greater than any dramatic offering of the day, will open the regular season of the Grand Sunday matinee, Aug. 28. Since its original production more than seventeen years ago, it has never been withdrawn from the stage for a single season and has amassed a fortune for its owners. While its story is an old and familiar one now-a-days, theater patrons come to see it for its invariably attracts crowded houses wherever it is presented. With a mountain maid for a heroine, the action begins amid the peaks and ravines of Eastern Kentucky. Here the simple mountain lace meets her Blue Grass sweatyheart. To save him from impending danger, she follows him to his home near Lexington, there disguises herself as a jockey, and to save his fortunes, rides his horse, "Queen Bess," to victory in a famous Kentucky on the Lexington Kentucky colonel, a faithful old sergeant and several other types are central figures in the story, which holds the interest of the playgoer from beginning to end. An attractive and novel feature of "In Old Kentucky" is its band of little Afro-American boys, who sing, dance and tote to form a brass band. An elaborate scenic outfit always forms part of "In Old Kentucky's" charm, and a company of unusual excellence is invariably protected. There is more genuine entertainment than a performance of this stirring drama than in many of the so-called recent New York successes. The company this year includes Mildred Johnson, Frank P. Conway, Bert G. Clark, Conrad Cantzen, Paul Pilkington, Carol Warren and Helen Gurney.

Mr. Editor: While in a reminiscent mood, recently, I was reminded that THE APPEAL was started in the year 1855 and therefore will pass the 25th milestone of its existence this year. What a number of interesting events have taken place during these twenty-five years, what wonderful advancements have been made by the Afro-American citizens of the Twin Cities in all lines of life! And as I was one of its early promoters and know much of its history, I believe it is no small thing for a newspaper to live for a quarter of a century under the circumstances, have surrounded THE APPEAL, it is to me that some sort of celebration of the year would be eminently fit and proper, and I also believe that the citizens of the Twin Cities whom you have served so faithfully and well would gladly join in making the event one long to be remembered. My idea is that a souvenir edition of THE APPEAL 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 APPEALS' bith or such other day that in your judgment is more suitable, in which an may take a part in making the event one of the largest ever held here. I would suggest, if the idea meets your approval, that you select a number of persons to act as a committee to carry out such plans as I have advanced or as you may deem most advisable. Mr. T. H. Lyles: Replying to your letter above, I beg leave to state that I heartily concur in all you say, and from the expressions which have come to me during the past week I believe that the Quarto-Centennial celebration of THE APPEAL can be made a great event if the people will only take hold of it in the right spirit. The suggestions which you made as to the souvenir edition and grand final public testimonial cannot well be improved upon, but as it will require some time to carry them out properly I cannot. now, select a date for the same, but will do so later on, and in the meanwhile will proceed to select a committee, etc., to carry out the admirable suggestions you have made.

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.

My Dear Mr. Adams: Several weeks ago I read an open letter in THE APPEAL, 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 your journal, supplying a demand no others have been able to fill. I believe it is an obligation the whole community owes you, and that you justly deserve recognition and merit whatever form the occasion may present. I shall be pleased to render any assistance in my power to give. Yours very truly lone E. Gibbs. Pres. Afro-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 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. Respectfully, Frederick C.
