PATTERSON HEN you take in the city of Washington what the unregenerate call a "rubber-neck wagon" your course is to lead by the Cosmos club. Until the Metropolitan club built its new quarters, its building was situated near that which houses the Cosmos members. It was the great delight of the information giver on the sightseeing automobile to declare to the passengers that the Metropolitan club, "which you see on your right, is the home of the nobs, and the Cosmos club, which you see on the home of the cranks." Presumably scientists have become accustomed to being dubbed cranks by the unthinking. It has been a long, hard struggle at times for some scientists to get recognition from the world. The Cosmos club has a membership which in- SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTE CONNECTICUT AVENUE - LOOKING NORTH FROM N STREET cludes some of the greatest scientists of the United States, and, in its non-resident membership, some of the greatest scientists of the world. There are botanists, astronomers, ornithologists, and, in fact, scientists of all kinds and descriptions, to be found nightly in the great, sweeping parliars of the club's quarters. There is just as much hospitality and jollity in the club as are to be found in the rooms of any social organization in the world—and learning besides there, also. In order to be a member of the Cosmos club you must have something besides money and social standing. It is probable that there are many members of other organizations in Washington, who would be willing to throw their memberships into the deep sea, if the act would buy for them admittance into the club of these scientists. The headquarters of the Cosmos club are in the old "Dolly Madison" residence. It was there that the widow of President Madison lived and held social sway for years after the death of her husband. During the Civil war, for a time, Admiral Wilkes lived in the Madison house. It was Wilkes who took Mason and Slidell from the British steamer "Trent" and thereby nearly brought on war between the United States and Great Britain at a time when such a war might have insured ultimate victory to the Confederate arms. The biological survey of the United States government has lost the services of Dr. C. Hart Merriam, who for years was the survey's chief, and who in the early days worked so hard to make the service what he succeeded in making it, one of the most useful departments of government. Dr. Merriam has accepted the direction of the Harriman Foundation for Zoological Research. Mrs. Harriman, the widow of E. H. Harriman, the great financier and railroad man, who was a pioneer in the field, has set aside a large sum of money to be used for purposes of zoological study. Acting unquestionably in line with her husband's wishes, Mrs. Harriman requested Dr. Merriam to take charge of the work. It is probable that the former chief of the biological survey is the foremost authority in the United States in matters pertaining to certain lines of natural history work. It was Dr. Merriam, more than any other man, to whom Theodore Roosevelt went for advice about the scope his career in Africa. The doctor and the apologist have been both active when in New York state both were pursuing bird studies and exchanging letters on general subjects of natural history. These words about Dr. Merriam and the Harriman Zoological Foundation lead one to tell a story about the late financier, which perhaps will throw some light on a side of his life concerning which most people probably know little. One year ago last winter I went south from Washington, bound for Augusta, Ga., with a friend. E. H. Harriman's private car was attached to the train at one of the stations on the road. It appeared that my friend was a close personal acquaintance of Mr. Harriman, and he was invited to dine with the financier on his private car, and was told to bring his friend with him, provided the friend would like to come. There were several men of large affairs at that little dinner party, one of the guests being the president of one of the greatest railroad systems in the world. The conversation, naturally, was about big affairs of the financial world, concerning which I knew very little, and I am free to confess, cared much less. After hearing a good deal about certain things concerning which the discussion was more or less unintelligible to me, I ventured to break into the conversation. I was told that I had such of the journals of the "Harriman class Expedition" as already had been published, and moreover, that I had read them. For the next two hours I had ample evidence that E. H. Harriman cared for something besides railroads. Ten or twelve years before he had W THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS. MINN.. SATURDAY.

He had had a delightful time with the scientists and they had profited much in a knowledge way by the trip to comparatively new fields. I found that Mr. Harriman was keenly interested in birds, trees, shells, flowers, stones and mammals, and that he knew and appreciated nature in all its forms. That was the time he ever saw E. H. Harriman, but from what time onward he had, and a half spent in his car that winter night. I was not at all surprised when I found out that he had provided a fund for zoological research. Across Lafayette square, due west from the Cosmos club, is the vacant Decatur mansion. This house was built by Commodore Stephen Decatur in the year 1819, and it was from its portals that he went forth one year later to meet his death at the hand of James Barron, also a naval officer, who had challenged Decatur to a duel.

It was only a fea as Washington tradition Martha Washington was completed White House was completed to all, but it might be said that it was United States ship Chesapeake at the time overhaulled by the British ship Leopard and searched for alleged deserters from the British navy. Books have been written about Lafayette square, but the stories that are told about the men whose statues are in the square, and about the men who lived in the houses surrounding it, are endless, and not all of them, perhaps, have found their way into print. The statue of Lafayette was erected at one corner of the square not long after the statue of Andrew Jackson had been put in place in the center of the square, provided a square can be said to have a center. Lafayette visited America in 1825, and even to Lafayette there was a place of some living person who remembers his visit. Not long ago there died in Chicago, at her home on Elm street, the aged Mrs. Davidson. She was born in Charleston, S. C. Her maiden name was Ancrum; she was a granddaughter of Col. William Washington, a first cousin of George Washington. It was William Washington who at the battle of the Cowpens fought a hand-to-hand fight with Colonel Tarleton of the British forces. Colonel Washington succeeded in cutting off the thumb of Tarleton's sword hand, and then there was interference which separated the combatants. Lafayette was a strong personal friend of Will Defective Page MORE OCEAN TITANS Germany to Produce a New 50, 600-Ton Steamship. The 45,000-Ton Liners of the White Star Line, Now Being Built, to Be Eclipsed—How the Struggle Goes Forward. Hamburg—Much is heard today about the race for naval supremacy. But the race is no less keen in the commercial contest and just now most of the great steamship lines are preparing fresh giants for the ocean struggle. Here again the rivalry is between the Germans and the British, both being eager to hold the blue ribbon of Atlantic transport, the chief shipping route in all the world. When the Lusitania and Mauretania relegated the German Deutschland to subordinate place as an ocean fyer on the challenge was renewed, and today it is the North Sea there is a strenuous "endurance" record in records and speed. The White Star line is well advanced with the construction of two new monsters, the Olympic and the Titanic, the Hamburg-American line answers with a still bigger vessel, the Hansa, to the great delight of the kaiser, and now the Cunard line gives hints of plans far beyond anything yet designed. The Boston route must be considered first, because the latest ship to take the water is the Francona, a twin-screw vessel of the Cunard fleet, which will be the largest liner that has been built for the Cunard harbor. It is just 70 years since the Cunard, the Britania, opened up that route, and though the Francona is far below the Mauretania in speed and tonnage, it demonstrates well enough the shipping advance that has been made in the span of a single human life. For the Britannia was 207 feet long, its tonnage was 1,154, speed eight and Showing the Evolution of Steamers. Furst Biamark, 1890-91; Deutschland, 1900; Kaiser Wilhelm II, 1901; Mauretania, 1907, and the Hansa. one-half knots an hour and the cabin accommodated only 115 passengers. Now the Franconia's length is 625 feet, its gross tonnage 18,000 tons displacement 25,000 tons; it can carry 2,600 passengers and its power is twenty times as great as that of the Britannia. More than three thousand workmen labored on the liner for 12 months up to the launching at Wallascon-on-Tyne. The sister ship, the Laconia, has just been laid down in the same shipyard and will be launched next year. Next in point of readiness are the White Star liners, Titanic and Olympic, two ocean giants under construction at Belfast. Already they are immense in bulk and when they are completed they will be 45,000 tons each, or more than 13,000 tons bigger than the Mau retania. They are each 850 feet long and it is understood they will be fitted with turbine engines. liam Washington, and when he visited Charleston in the year 1825 he was a guest at the Ancum residence, Mrs. Ancrum, the mother of Mrs. Davidson, being a daughter of Colonel Washington, Mrs. Davidson, then a child six or eight years remembered the visit perfectly and kept until she is present which Laycette had given to her, the grandchild of his old friend and comrade in arms. The Mersey dock and harbor board has commenced the construction of a huge new dock at Liverpool, but as it will not be fully completed for three years, it may be guessed that the provision is mainly intended for the still bigger Cunarder, that, report says, will run to 60,000 tons. Definite information is not forthcoming at the Cunard offices on this latest plan, but it is not denied that the news that has come from Germany of the new Hamburg-American liner Hansa has roused the Cunard directors to a determination to produce something that will kick creation for some years to come. There is no statue of Washington in Lafayette square, though one day there may be, for it is said to be possible that Andrew Jackson may be put elsewhere and George Washington may take his place. The nearest physical approach, so to speak, that one gets to the first president, in Lafayette square, is in the White House, which fronts it. It may not be generally known that the White House was completed before Washington died. It was only a few days before his death, as Washington tradition has it, that George and Andrew Washington walked through the recently completed White House, to give their approval or disapprove, and it may be, of the arrangement of the rooms. It is possible that visit to the capital was the last which George of his Country made, for it was only a short time afterward that he died at his country seat, Mount Vernon. The big German liner Hansa's tonnage will be almost 50,000, or 18,000 more than the Mauretania and 5,000 more than the Titanic. The Hansa will not, according to present accounts, alm at ocean speeding. It will have turbine engines designed to run it at 22 knots an hour, but the cargo and passenger accommodation will be immense. So carefully it is to be constructed that it will not be in commission before the beginning 1913. Reference to Mount Vernon brings to mind the fact that there is living in Washington today an aged man named John Lane, who is the only living person who ever saw George Washington. Now, inasmuch as the Father of his country died 111 years ago, this may seem to be something pretty close to a false statement on its face, but it is the truth nevertheless. Apart from the natural rivalry of two great maritime nations in the American passenger and freight trade there is another influence on the American side of the Atlantic that has made the ship more vulnerable. The Armbore channel and other New York harbor improvements were carried out shipping men have found the limitations to the dimensions of their vessels removed. The biggest lilies they have ever dreamed of can now gain ready access to New York, and the harbors at the coast are more in the harbors of the old world than the new. When John Lane was a small boy the driver of a stage that ran between Washington and Mount Vernon asked the lad if he wanted a ride, and the answer was a hasty climbing up to the seat of honor by the driver. The boy made the ride, and the answer arrived there just as they were removing the body Washington from the old tomb to the new one. In order to make certain that the remains had not been tampered with by ghouls who not long before had broken into the old tomb, the coffin was opened and John Lane, aged ten, was lifted up to look on the face of the Father of his Counsellor, and the only person who survives of the little company which was present at the transfer of the body.

Massachusetts bred, he has waxed vigorous over the smoke-rek of many battles and lives to tell a tale of hard fighting through many campaigns and of victories aplenty. He has seen the now vanishing红 man at his best and worst. He has matched the cunning of copper-colored savagery with the knowledge and instinct of the born defender, says the Commodian. In the saddle he is an expert in the art of drawing-room he is a Chesterfield. Retired since 1903, he has kept in close touch with the world events, and were a conflict to burst upon the country tomorrow General Miles would, on his own admission, be among the first to offer his sword and strength for the defense of his motherland. Largely self-instructed, ambitions, forceful, well read, wide-traveled, General Miles is of the type that can face no problem and leave it unsolved. His record is as clean as it can be. Man and soldier, he has side-stepping duty well behind in its fulfilling. He is one of our genuine American heroes, and though he megaphones none of his virtues to a press-against public, he stands for the truly Olympic in our present-day life. IN MR. CLEVELAND'S MEMORY Only $25,000 More Needed for the Bip Tower BbE Erected at Princeton Newark, N. J.—The erection of a lofty tower at Princeton, N. J., to be known as the Nation's Memorial in Perpetuation of the Memory of Grover Cleveland, is now definitely assured. In an announcement to "all those who appreciate the unselfish, patriotic and courageous work of Grover Cleveland," John F. Dryden, chairman of the Cleveland Memorial association, sets forth the progress and scope of the work. He shows that $75,000 of the required for that purpose has already been pledged, and final appeal is made for the prompt subserviation of the remaining $25,000, so that the actual work of construction may begin. This tower will be erected upon the tract known as the old golf links—a site commanding a wide sweep of Proposed Memorial Tower. country, from which the tower will be distinctly visible to the many millions of people passing yearly over the public highways and the Pennsylvania railroad. The tower itself will be about 150 feet high by 40 feet square, of a silvery gray stone, and of great architectural strength and beauty, with interior accommodations for memorial purposes, including personal and national relics associated with Mr. Clevie. The tower will be the central shaft in connection with which will be erected other buildings in the future, to form what is known as the graduate school, with which Mr. Clevie land was so closely identified during the last years of his life and for which the Wyman and other bequests, aggregating several million dollars, have contributed to this memorial have come from all parts of the country and range in amount from $1 to $5,000.

GIVEN UP TO TRADE GIVEN UP TO TRADE Only the Old Guard Holds Forth on Fifth Avenue, N. Y. Fashionable Thoroughfare Has Been Almost Completely Sold Out to Invading Mercenaries—Only Few Prominent Families Remain. New York—Imperious old Fifth avenue has gone—not into clay, but into trade. At Fifty-second street the Vanderbilt, the Sloanes and the Shepards, buttressed behind their massive mansions, have been making the last stand of the old guard against the invasion of mercenaries. But now, unlike the old guard, they have surrendered, and within a year Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt will have for third neighbor a French modiste with fine, big electricians in a famous mansion at Fifty-seventh street, where for years and years the destinies of social America have been swayed. It is well within the memory of most New Yorkers when Fifth avenue from Fifthtie to Fifth-ninth street was so exclusive that only the Knickerbockers could live there, their wealth. Then policemen frowned creaseless trousers off the street. Now folks of all classes mingle freely, and there is only one block in all the ten trade halls has not intruded. In this block house with a promised height of six hundreds of feet will crown the neighborhood. The whole story of it all is that the "old Fifth avenue" has sold out. It has received more money consideration from trade for moving up town into the new Fifth avenue than the sentimental satisfaction of preserving its ancestral homes was worth. It has emigrated northward—or to Europe, therefore, leaving only the three Vanderbilt, the Slaines, the Shepards, the Huntingtons and William Rocke. The Vanderbilt Home. feller as representatives to battle at the last ditch or make the surrender complete. Take that stroll down Fifth avenue from Fifth-ninth street, for the fun of it. Then it was one fine long row of mansions—grateful and marble and brownstone—every one a palace, and every one inhabited by an aristocrat, as great as America can ever furnish. But now, walking down the street from the park entrance, you meet fewer mansions, than shops even for the first three blocks. A count shows five brokers, three real estate offices, two correspect and a French modiste between the Plaza and the residence the Plaza and the Vanderbilt to the south. And in Fifth with even not far from the Vanderbilt mansion and just west of the Harry Payne Whitney residence, the famous old Oliver Harriman mansion is to be made over into a store for a dressmaker. The fact that this new neighbor is said to have been a Virginia beauty before she entered the trade, however, may appeal to the social taste of the Whitneys and Vanderbiltis. The famous old Andrew Zabriskie bourbon gone into the hands of Schumann's sons, who are making it over into fine business quarters, with apartments above. And right there, also, is the Collins P. Huntington mansion, with a new gilded art shop across the way. This little jaint down Fifth avenue, in addition, an amazing display of glittering signs, with stately backgrounds of brownstone and marble, advertising trade where New York's real society holds levee. Signs are there everywhere on them even after coal from the basement of an old mansion that wreckers are destroying overhead. POLICEMAN A CORN EATER New York Officer Gets Away With 61 Ears in 3 Hours and 5 Minutes. New York—Policeman William Ornstein won the $10 purse and the corn eating championship of the world when he disposed of sixty-one ears of the succulent "roosters." "Red" Dugan, former champion, who has been driving a horse and was out of form, did not much more than run half way to Ornstein's figure. William Schwartz, who has always been a rival of Dugan, was merely an "also ran." Ornstein is a newcomer in the corn eating field. After the feat he announced that he had "saved" some room if any contentants came late. The corn eating contest was the event on the East side. Edward Rozenstein, known all over the East side as "Rosy," had ranged the event. It was in celebration of his forty-eighth birthday, and took place in his saloon at Broome and Clinton streets. Ornstein is ready to receive challenges from all comers. HAVE YOU READ THE ARPEAL? THE APPEAL, A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY AMS BROS.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1910. TOO BUSY TO SEE THEIR OWN FAULTS. For a long time our white brethren have been so busily engaged in studying the perversity and depravity of the Afro-American that they failed to keep watch on the doings of their own race. But they have at last been compelled to give those doings a good deal of attention. The process resulted in many such unpleasant discoveries as the following: Commissioner Driscoll, of the Bureau of Weights and Measures, visited the "farmers' market place" in Brooklyn Friday and carted back 600 confiscated baskets and barrels. The 500 bushel baskets taken from farmers' wagons weighed but 40 pounds each instead of 60, the barrels held 120 pounds instead of 174 pounds, as required by law. A. B. THINGS SAID DURING THE WAR. 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: RACE PREJUDICE. I am convinced myself that there is no more evil thing in this present world than Race Prejudice; none at all. I write deliberately—it is the worst single thing in life now. It justifies and holds together more baseness, cruelty and abomination than any other sort of error in the world. Through its body runs the black blood of The American people are ruled by felons. With all his vast armies, Lincoln has failed! 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. Percury 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 the thirst of the old monster is not quenched. His cry is ever for more blood. OPPOSED TO UNIVERSAL EXPERIENCE It has remained for Chicago's woman 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 teacher who should instruct his pupils: Finger any way you please, would soon be voted a first-class idiot. And again, THE APPEAL is not sure that the two things "any way you please" and "legibly" are compatible. So we shall take the matter under advertisement. AND HIS SOUL GOES MARCHING ON. "And a prophet's soul in fire came down to live in the voice of old John Brown," wrote Orpheus C. Kerr many years ago. The Southern brother does not concur in this opinion, for we have recently read in one of his journals an editorial complaining bitterly over the suggestion that the statue of John Brown should be sent by Kansas to the Hall of Fame. That paper sees in John Brown simply an ordinary 1910 [Picture of a man in a suit with a tie]. HON.

I am convinced myself that there is no more evil thing in this present world than Race Prejudice; none at all. I write deliberately—it is the worst single thing in life now. It justifies and holds together more baseness, cruelty and abomination than any other sort of error in the world. Through its body runs the black blood of the last, guspidion, jealousy and persecution and all the darkest poles of the human soul. common-place murderer, one destitute of commendable characteristics of any kind. But we can assure the Southern editor that the name of old John Brown is, One of the few immortal names, Which were not born to die. The women of Louisiana are making a strong effort to secure the acquittal of Mamie McLaughlin, who is on trial in New Orleans for killing her seducer. They claim that women as well as men are entitled to the protection of the unwritten law. Perhaps it is well that this aspect of the case has been brought into prominence. The evils of lynch law attracted but little attention or rebuke so long as Afro-Americans were the victims, but since the law has been so generally applied to white men, they have become, very apparent. The nomination of Caleb Powers to Congress from a Kentucky district is a striking example of the whirligig of time bringing its revenges, for the nomination is equivalent to an election in a district having a Republican majority of 15,000. Few persons ever believed that Powers had anything to do with the murder of Goebel, as is proved by the nomination. He is a good lawyer and a fine speaker and will make a valuable member of the House. Democratic journalists are exulting over the Maine election as a tidal wave betokening a restoration of their party to complete control of the nation, but the facts do not, by far, warrant any such conclusion. The election turned almost entirely upon local issues, prohibition and the governor's power to send officers into any part of the state to enforce the law. The election does not prove that Maine is "hell bent" for Democratic misrule. ```markdown ``` administration the Postal Deficit Has 2,000 in Nine Months, an Unprece- tory of the Department. - G.

Another phonographic attachment and one that is more ingenious than most, is that devised by a Wisconsin man and shown in this illustration. It consists of so arranging a violin on top of the other instrument to produce perfect violin tones from the phonograph record. An arm projecting from the phonograph box holds the neck of the fiddle, which rests face downward over the record. The neck is pivoted on this rest so that the fiddle can turn about. Clamping forks engage the bridge of the violin and a stylus is secured to the bridge. When the record revolves the stylus communicates the notes through the horn, and, as may be imagined, the tone is vastly more realistic than when produced by the Plays Through Violin. old method. In fact, the violin notes thus produced are almost perfect, as they may well be when it is remembered that they emanate from the same sounding board as when a bow is drawn across the strings. SIMPLICITY IN CAN OPENER Substantial Household Utensil Invented by Detroit Man Used Without Fear of Cutting. Every housewife would undoubtedly welcome the invention of a really simple and substantial can opener, one that she could operate without danger of cutting her hands. Simplicity and efficiency seem to be the keynote of the one shown in the illustration below, designed and invented by a Detroit man. In opening a can the point at the end is thrust into the central portion of the top of the can and the Cuts Top or Side of Can. bar brought so that it lies parallel with the top of the can. The cutter is then regulated on the toothed bar so that it will cut either the top of the can or the side. With a firm pull on the handle the tin can be easily severed. It will be noticed that there are practically two cutters, one for cutting the top of the can and another for cutting the side of the can. This will be found convenient when it is desired to remove the contents without disarranging them. WARN BY ARTIFICIAL VOICE Lighthouses Along French Coast Have Wonderful Resemblance to Human Beings. Ships that pass the danger spots off the French coast will now be guided right by the lighthouse bearing a wonderful resemblance to human beings. The new lighthouse, which is the invention of Dr. Marague, a Parisian ear specialist, is an exact imitation of the human throat and mouth, with an air pump for lungs. Teeth, lips, jaw bones and all are imitated exactly, while a monster mouth and a compressed air device will enable it to shout in tones of thunder to ships on the horizon. Dr. Marague's small models, hardly appreciably larger than the normal human mouth, can be made to utter a faint wusper, or give vent to an ear-splitting cry, not possible for man to make. With a mouth six feet from corner to corner it is estimated that the artificial voice could be understood from three to six miles away, according to weather conditions. UMBRELLA IN YOUR POCKET Twenty-Six Inch Screen Invented by Minneapolis Man Easily Folded Up and Carried. A 26 inch umbrella that will fold up and go in an inside pocket without crowding has been invented and constructed by a Minneapolis man. This seems almost inventible. The handle and all the ribs consist of fine steel tubes, in sections, which telescope one inside the other. The covering is of silk, which takes up but little room. The wooden handle of the umbrella is hollow and receives all the rest of the telescoping umbrella rod when shut up. A small light case is provided to contain the whole which, as stated, goes easily into the pocket. If such a device can be made and sold for a reasonable price there is little doubt that the inventor will make a fortune.

A New York man has invented a pneumatic heel for shoes by means of which the wearer of the shoes will actually walk on air. The Gives Resiliency to Step. expression has been used to signify a mental buoyancy; it will now indicate a condition of physical resiliency guaranteed by the inventor to be quite as uplifting and even better for the health. The leather heel of the shoe has a circular opening into which fits a conical metal body open at the bottom, thus leaving an air space around the apex of the cone. Across the bottom of the cone is an elastic rubber heel piece and on this a leather treadpiece, thus leaving an air space inside the cone. These two pneumatic chambers act as cushions and give a resiliency to the step that is not achieved by the ordinary rubber heel, besides relieving all jar on the spine and making walking easy and comfortable. FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH SECRET Lies in Way to Prevent Coagulation of Protoplasm Which Forms the Basis of Our Bodies. Charge is the secret of youth. Harvey W. Wiley asserts that the body itself changes oftener than the suits that clothes it, and that he who mourns over the remains of a friend drops tears on that which knew him not a few short weeks before. Life itself is represented in the rapid changes of the body. When those changes have become less rapid than formerly it is a sure sign that old age has set in. When changes cease altogether death comes. A man that finds a way to prevent the coagulation of the protoplasm which forms the basis of our bodies will have discovered the secret of perpetual youth. For it is this coagulation that works against the change. The liquids that were in the body, forming 70 per cent of the body, will not circulate in this month's veins. The flesh of the summer will not see the fall of October leaves, and scarce a bone of this year's body will leave a trace for next year to witness. The bones change less rapidly than the flesh, yet they are being constantly replaced by new material. The body constantly throws off lime which can come from no place but the bones and phosphorus which comes mostly from them. It is as surprising to see how rapidly this material is thrown off as it is to note how quickly a broken bone will be replaced. The teeth are less subject to change than any other part of the body. A foreign substance is the only matter that the system will allow to remain unchanged within it. A particle lodged beneath the skin as powder or a tattoo mark is not displaced with the growth of new flesh or skin. The new particles form gradually about the foreign matter, replacing the old ones, and the marks remain. In the young the change is rapid and every cell is full of life and constantly recurring youth. As age comes on there is an occasional congested cell and a constant thickening of the appearance of the skin. Then in old age there is an almost complete congestion and finally life ceases.

PRICE OF THE SOUVENIR EDITION IS TEN CENTS PER COPY COPIES FOR SALE AT THE AP- PEAL OFFICE REV. JOHN R. WHITE, Pastor Universal Spiritual Mission. It is well known that J. R. White is an order builder, who has a strong and pleasing personality, that commands the attention and respect of Minnesota people as well as a large circle of friends throughout the entire country. He has given to the world a new secret organization known as "THE KNIGHTHOOD OF ALPHA AND LADIES OF OMEGA." The critics call it a "Masterpiece." The work is beautiful and well adapted for what it is intended. The foundation is modern and progressive, and is destined to take a high place in the secret order world. The chief principles upon which it is founded are the grandest sentiments known to the mind of man, LOYALTY, JUSTICE and CHARITY. When these principles are woven into real life they produce a system of higher ideas, which affords the best means of exemplifying the sublime thoughts of the Divine Master. For this order is reaching out for worthy mankind, binging them into one grand brotherhood. The "LADIES OF OMEGA" is the women's branch of the order, where they may illustrate honorable womanhood, that worth may have its rest in the advancement, by admission into the "SUPREME COURT OF HONOR". This order is shedding a brilliant light, for the principles are but seed thoughts, blossoming into a rich and abundant fruitage. That the harvest will last as long as the members care for, and cultivate its glorious principles. It is the intention of Rev. J. R. White, the author of and founder, and the promoters to push the work, they have incorporated and copyrighted the work to establish Assemblies and Temples in all parts of the country.

Youthful Teacher's Bravery The brave action of a girl teacher was publicly noticed at a recent meeting of Scarborough' (Eng.) town council. Miss Smith was in a room with a class of 40 children, none over five years of age. One boy had in his pocket some Bengal lights. Suddenly his clothes burst into flames. Miss Smith at once called the children to order to prevent panic and then seizing hold of the screaming child wrapped him in her dress and put out the flames with her hands. But for her presence of mind the child would undoubtedly have lost his life. Then she ran with the child to its mother and collapsed. Her hands and arms were badly blistered and her dress burnt. but the child was saved. DRAWN UP INTO THE SKY The Only Explanation for the Disappearance of the Water from the Dead Sea. There can be only two modes by which the waters flowing into the Dead sea can escape from it—either by underground percolation or by evaporation. It is extremely improbable that any considerable quantity escapes by the former mode, and we are further led to suppose, for two good reasons, that evaporation accounts for maintaining the steady level of that sea. First, the sea remains intensely salt. The Dead sea contains about five times as much solids in solution as does the ocean. This intense saltness could not be maintained with comparatively fresh river water pouring into it for thousands of years, unless the water in escaping, left behind the saline substances. Evaporation is the only process that would account for this. Secondly, the heat in The Dead sea valley is overpowering. The temperature in the Jordan valley has been known to rise in August to 118 degrees, even opposite Jericho, and it would be even higher in the Dead sea gorge. George Adams Smith, in his Historical Geography of the Holy Land (p.500), says: "The extracted moisture usually forms a haze impenetrable to the eye for more than a few miles, but sometimes vast clouds of mist rear themselves from the sea." MRS. NELLIE McCULLOUGH Leader of the Famous McCullough Orchestra of Minneapolis. Mrs. McCullough is a native of Minnesota, and when four years of age she was adopted by Mr. and Mrs. M. Brady, who raised her as their own, giving her the splendid musical education which has been the means of her livelihood for many years. She was the first piano teacher among us in Minneapolis and has taught successfully for twenty years. Her pupils have been the pianists for the leading department stores of the city. She formed an orchestra about five years ago and it immediately became the leading and most popular orchestra in Cities, and it has ever held the title. For a number of years the Autumn Leaf dancing school has been directed by Mrs. McCullough, and it has proved to be one of the most successful entertainers of the city. The school will shortly open for its ninth season. "THE THIEF." The Next Attraction at the Grand Theater. Interest runs high in the forthcoming appearance in this city of that far-famed sensation, "The Thief," the intense, throbbing, human drama of love and jealousy which scored the greatest triumph New York has ever known and ran or two solid years at the Lyceum Theater, that city. "The Thief" is from the novel of Henri Bernstein, the morning after its first production in Paris, Bernstein awoke to find his name on every tongue, and before a week had passed all Europe was hailing him as the greatest dramatist of his time. In New York, upon the first presentation of "The Thief" at the Lyceum Theater by Charles Frohman, the critics exhausted themselves in trying to do justice in penned words to the intense, powerful and overwhelming plays by men by the Frenchman. He was praised in many ways, the greatest dramatist of the day and his "Thief" was acclaimed an electric sensation. "The Thief" comes to the Grand for a week commencing Sunday matinee, Oct. 2.

"Hail, Guest! We ask not what thou art If friend, we greet the hand and heart; if stranger, such no longer be; If foo our love shall conquer thee," Old friends and new friends, let's all be good friends together because we want to cut out formality for a while and have a real nice heart to heart talk with you. From time to time we hear from the lips of those who are but partially acquainted with us, the words—"to an Elk is just a good fellow, and is all." Now we don't object to being called "good fellows,"—not by a jug full—because one of the most essential qualities of a good Elk is that of goffellowship, for a bad fellow at heart never yet qualified as a good Elk; but somehow we don't like the way those people say it,"—and that's all." It seems to imply that an Elk is a kind of good fellow who is really not a good fellow. People sometimes make the mistake of judging a class by an individual member of that class, more often than not picking out a poor specimen as an example, too, and we feel assured that this is just what has been done in our case. By this statement we know that we acknowledge that poor specimens exist among us, and where in the world will you not find good, bad and indifferent elements associated with each other; but from the time of our birth as Ells, up to the present day, it has ever been our endeavor to do as much as possible towards the moral betterment of ourselves and our fellowmen, and it is our intention to go on making efforts in that direction. Men banded together for the purpose of advancing the principles which are based on the cardinal virtues of charity, justice, brotherly love and fidelity, must necessarily be more than "just good fellows" in the sense in which those words are used with reference to us, now don't you think so? Of course you do. Our little talk is over. We trust you understand us a little better than you did before it began. However, let us once more extend to you our hands in welcome— Friend from the North, South, East, or West. When you cross our threshold as a guest,— Shake sadness, let gladness all thoughts enhance; And now, sweet guest, let's on with the dance! Witness the dance! ST. PAUL. MINN.

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.

The delegates who recently returned from the meeting of the Imperial Council of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine at Detroit, Mich., report that it was the most successful session error held by this organization. That all factions are realizing that this is a strong body and are uniting to make it more so. Only a few discounted ones are left. The Chicago followers of Milton G. Fields appointed a committee to arrange terms of surrender; this is Fields' strongest lodge and is practically all he has left. The Chicago Temple requested permission to appear in the Detroit parade and even Mr. Fields himself marched in the ranks. St. Paul had quite a fair representation at this meeting. Among these present were: Mr. and Mrs. Jose H. Sherwood, Mr. and Mrs. L. M. Terrill, Mrs. O. D. Howard, Mrs. W. A. Benjamin, Mrs. L. A. Melker, Miss Olive Howard, Messrs. Geo. L. Hoage, H. G. Johnson and J. A. Ross. The West had the largest representation ever at a meeting and Minnesota secured three places on the official roster, viz: J. H. Sherwood, Imperial Chief Rabban; J. A. Ross, Assistant Lecturer; Geo. L. Hoage, Member Board of Directors. We organized their grand body, Geo. C. Hoage was secretary of the temporary organization and the office of High Priestess and Prophetess was given to Mrs. Cassie Melker. The next meeting will be held next August in Atlantic City, N. J. WHITE MAN'S OCEAN But He Is Strangely Inconsistent in Enforcing His Claim to the Water. The Caucasians of Coney Island are becoming very sensitive on the race question. They have taken to objecting—violently—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 approach 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 a coron along the sands and guard their ocean from the dark skins at all hazards. "God must needs laugh outright could such a thing be," said Carlyle, "to see his wondrous manikins here below." In this case it would be a 'batter laugh, with much of shame mixed in—New York Globe. A Lucky Fugitive. Ex-Gov. William S. Taylor of Kentucky is a lucky man. After having been indicted for participation in the murder of Gov. Goebel he fled to Indiana. The chief executive of the Hoosier state was a Republican, and when Gov. Beckham made a requisition for Taylor it was refused. Now there is to be inaugurated a Democratic governor of Indiana, and if there should come a request from Kentucky for Taylor it would be granted. But no such request is to be made. Kentucky has a Republican governor and he is willing that Taylor remain where he is.
