The Appeal

The Fore in Was DRAWING ROOM OF FREVOK EMBAJY Foreign Colony in Washington by EDWARD B. CLARK COPYRIGHT BY W.A.PATTERSON WASHINGTON has within its limits considerable foreign territory. The residences of the ministers to the United States from other countries are considered in some allen ground, and therefore home sanctuary for those who dwell therein. The foreign official colony in Washington forms a study of life interest which is never wearying to the native inhabitants of the capital. "The foreigners are so different," is the way that the natives put it. This is true in a large sense, but in specific instances the foreigners are not so different. Many of them, especially those from Central and South America, contend to live in the United States habit of life, and seem to think lightly, doubtless, that as representatives of republics they cannot do better than to follow the ways of the people of the greatest republic of the all. is true in a large sense, but in specific instances the foreigners are not so different. Many of them, especially those from Central and South American countries, fall readily into the United States habit of life, and seem to think, rightly, doubtless, that as representatives of republics they cannot do better than to follow the ways of the one most prestigious republic of them all. They are utter mistress. It is an utter mistake, and a very common one THE DINING ROOM among the people of the United States, to think that because so many of the foreign diplomats in Washington represent monarchies and have titles, they are possessed of a certain high mightiness that keeps them aloof from the democratic horde. The stranger American who calls at any of the embassies or legations is sure of courteous treatment, which is not always forthcoming when a call is made at an American home. Of course the foreigners have a native courtesy which is inbred, but unquestionably they have it impressed upon them by their home government before coming to think that America is a democracy and that they must remember that here all men are considered equal. In plenty of foreign diplomats who will be half follow well met in a crowd of Americans, who but in a few own countrymen will be very careful to observe distinctions of class, and hold it beneath their dignity to show any familiarity with one held to be inferior in social standing. The diplomats in Washington are great sticklers for precedence among themselves. Length of service in the capital is the thing that counts. The ranking ambassador may be a mere mister, the ranking ambassador the privilege of precedence over another ambassador in the count or a baron. The importance or the wealth or the power of the nation represented in Washington amount to nothing where the question of priority of rank among the representatives is concerned. Great Britain ordinarily is considered a much more powerful and important nation in the world of Hungary. Yet today in Washington the representative walks a head of the representative of the former country in official and social processes walks a head of the representative of the former country. The ranking diplomat in the capital city is Baron Hengelmuller von Hengervar, private counsel, ambassador extraordinaire and plenipotent of Austria-Hungary. The baron has been in the diplomatic service of his country ever since he was a youth, and he is the foreigner of longest life in the United States. The home life of the Baron and his boss Hengelmuller is of the proverbially ideal type. The baron of the Austria-Hungarian ambassador, John Elfström Watkins says of the home of the diplomat: "The embassy is a treasury of souvenirs of sojourns among and intimate acquaintance with the great personages who have shaped and are shaping the history of the world. In the drawing room are bronze busts of the emperor and the queen, upon one of the tables in a jewel case presented by the emperor.

The residences of the ministers to the United States from other countries are considered in a sense as alien ground, and therefore home sanctuary for those who dwell therem. The foreign official colony in Wakefield, Massachusetts, is of life interest which is never wearying to the native inhabitants of the capital.

THE FRENCH EMBASSY THE JAPANESE EMBASSY THE CHINESE EMBASSY rulers of the house of Hapsburg from the eleventh century down to Francis Joseph himself. Inside the embassy the fads of the ambassador and his wife are apparent, those of the ambassador being autographs and signed photographs of the great accessions of events; those of the baroness exotic plants from the forests of distant countries, and dogs." It has been said that length of service in Washington rules the matter of precedence among the diplomats. It should be known, however, that ambassadors rank ministers, and so it may be that the minister who has been here for ten years must of necessity give way in the social and ceremonial processes to the ambassador who has just been sent. Senior Don Joaquín Bernardo Calvo is the minister of the little country of Costa Rica. He ranks the most of such nations as Sweden, Portugal, Greece, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, China, Spain and Norway. Senior Calvo has been in America as the representative of his country for eleven years. The minister from the Little Central American republic has many things to recommend him to the interest of the people of the capital. It has said here many times that the family of Senior Calvo is a fortune on the vaudeville stage as musician for each one of the twelve children plays a musical instrument and is possessed of a good singing voice. The ambassador of Great Britain to the United States is the Right Hon. James Bryce, who is known or ought to be known to all Americans as the author of "The American Commanwealth." His length of service puts Mr. Bryce fourth in the precedence list. He is ranked by the representatives of Austria-Hungary, France and Russia. The ambassador takes the keenest interest in social and governmental conditions in America, and the wife is no less keenly interested. Mr. Bryce is sympathetic with American institutions. All of the foreign diplomats in Washington are democratic; at least while they are in the capital city. James Bryce is noticeably democratic; he rides in a street car nine times where he rides in a carriage once. For five years Baron Rosen, master of the imperial court, has been the ambassador extraordinaire and plenipotentiary of Russia to the United States. While while to see Baron Rosen in his regalia of stole and sword, the great White House receptions.

Nearly thirty MADE HIM WEALTHY Fleet on Upper Missouri Operated by Captain Baker. Runs Six Boats and Several Barges Hauling Coal, Merchandise and Farm Products—Worth a Million. Bismarck, N. D.—It is commonly believed in Bismarck that Capt. Isaac P. Baker is worth a million dollars. At any rate, he is said to be one of the richest men in North Dakota. And how do you suppose Captain Baker made that much money—for he made it all since he came to Bismarck? He made the beginning of it running steamboats on the Missouri river, and he has been making money with them ever since. It isn't generally known below Sloux City that the only regular navigation on the Missouri at present is west of Bismarck. That is true, however, and Captain Baker's fleet is the carrier of a commerce that frequently runs as high as thirty thousand tons in a season. In fact, Captain Baker has seriously been considering the operation of boats through to Fort Benton. Years ago boats ran regularly to Fort Benton. When the railroads went through Montana the business ceased, because the country was apparently settled along the Missouri that there were nothing for the boats to transport. Now the valley is being settled up and there is a demand for transportation. Captain Baker started in years ago with one small boat. Now, through the packet company, of which he is the owner, he operates a fleet of six boats and several barges. All ex GASOLINE DOCK "EXPANSION" GASOLINE DOCK "ARPOLIS" years ago he was consul general of his government in New York city. Later he was charge d'affaires in Washington when Grover Cleveland was president. When the peace conference was on at Portsmouth, an attempt was being made to end the war between Napoleon, Napoleon, Rosen was one of the special conference envoys of his government. This fact leads me to tell a hitherto unpublished story of the Russian ambassador, a story which shows to show how careful foreign diplomats of standing are to avoid all possible chance of even personal difficulties with individual Americans. It should be said, however, that Rosen, whose use of his natural instincts, probably could have been just as he did even though he had not been the representative of the czar of all the Russias. Captain Baker's Boats. cept one of these boats are propelled by gasoline engines. The newest of the feet is the Expansion, built at the last last leg and said to be the lightest draft boat for the Missouri river. It is 124 feet 7 inches long, 21 feet 6 inches beam and draws ten inches of water light. On a draft of three feet it carries 150 tons, and loaded to its capacity it will carry three hundred tons. The Expansion is propelled by a 60-horsepower gasoline engine and travels four and one-half miles an hour against the ocean. Captain Baker's other boats are the Provine, the Deapolis, the Washburn, the O.K. and the Bismarck. One of Baron Rosen's comrades on the peace conference board was his fellow-countryman, the Count von Witte. An American woman and her little daughter were driving in a light buggy on a road between Manchester-by-the-Sea and Portsmouth. All at once there came whirling into the road from a tree-lined lane an automobile which struck the buggy, turned it over and threw mother and daughter on to a grassy bank on the side of the road. The shock of the collision smashed the lighter vehicle so badly that the horse was released, and it promptly ran away. West of Bismarck the railroads touch the Missouri Valley in only a few places, and the farmers, instead of hauling their grain inland to the railroads, haul it to the river for shipment by boat. At each of the landings Captain Baker has a small elevator, where the grain is stored until shipment. Then, when a boat comes along; the grain is loaded in bulk and carried down to Bismarck, where it is unloaded by a movable hoist into the elevator at the top of the bank and from that into the cars. The boats now run up the Missouri river as far as Montana and up the Milk river in Montana and up Yellowstone to Glendive, Mont. On the up trips the boats carry all kinds of merchandise, coal, lumber, machinery and other supplies to the farmers and the merchants. Downstream, before the movement begins, they carry livestock, wool, hides, hay and other farm products. The automobile was stopped instantly and two gray headed men jumped out and ran to the assistance of the woman and child. Apparently both were unhurt. The automobiles were profoundly sorry, sympathetic and apologetic. They took the time to explain to the woman and washed their five miles away to the nearest doctor, who, after an examination, said that neither of them was hurt in the least. Then the woman and the child were taken in the automobile again and driven to their residence, which was ten miles off. The occupants of the automobile said they must leave for an hour but they would return. They entered their machine, drove off and in just one hour they were back. It was subsequently learned that while they were the had given an order, a village carriage shop for the woman delivered the owner of the one that had been demolished. They found that the horse had returned uninjured to the stable. After doing these errands the return trip was made to the home of the woman and child. There they said that if the slightest injury to either of the occupants of the buggy resulted they stood ready to pay all damages which might be asked. They were assured by the woman that no physical harm had been done to the woman, and bowed, and handed their cards, on which inscribed the names, titles and addresses of the Baron Rosen, and the Count von Witte. Out of the last appropriation for the Missouri river, $2,500 was set aside for work at Bismarck and other points up to Fort Benton, one item of which is $10,000 to clear rocks from the channel so that boats may get to Fort Benton without danger. Nearly as Popular as the Bible. London—Dickens' public passes beyond the bounds of the British empire. There is America—with its $8,500,000 of people and its widespread, its fent, regarded for Dickens. There is France—and Audet could write: "Little Nell and Audet came to me as a revelation of pity and innocence." There is Germany—and Bunsen said, "Dickens compels tears and laughter among Germans as among his own people." There is Russia where Tolstoi relates that he found the "Christmas Carol" in the cabins of the humblest serfs, and where "Oliver Twist" and "Nicholas Nickley" are read in seven different translations in the realms of the czar. It is futile to multiply evidences of the genius of Dickens. Next to the Bibles and Shakespeare, his books enjoy the widest popularity. The ambassador second in rank in Washington is Mr. J. J. Jusserand of the Republic of France. Mr. Jusserand is well known, not only as a diplomat but for his literary attainments. Like many other foreign diplomats in Washington, Mr. Jusserand married an American wife. Perhaps it may be held by some people that Mme. Jusserand is not an American because she happened to be born in Paris, but both her parents were Americans. The list of foreigners in the diplomatic service who have married American women is a long one. Curiously enough, the last two German ambassadors to American both lived on this side of the water. A good many of these international alliances come about in this way: The young foreigner attaches of the legations while on duty in Washington fail in love with and marry American girls. Later he lives, when promotion in the service comes, they sent back as ministers or ambassadors to the land where they married. Some people say that this sort of thing makes for international peace, and perhaps it does. MANUEL BROKEN IN SPIRIT Banished Youthful King of Portugal If Reported Most Disconceal Since His Dethronement. London.—Several members of England's royalty who made a visit to Woodnorton, where Manuel, the banished king of Portugal, is the guest of his uncle, the Duc d'Orleans, asserted Manuel plainly shows his grief over the loss of his throne. The boyish smile and abounding good nature exhibited by Manuel on his visit to England several months Ex-King Manuel. before the Portuguese revolution tore the scepter from his hands, are no longer in evidence. The youthful exile has lost 20 pounds at least since the upset of Lisbon. He wanders about his uncle's estates as disobediously as any hungry exile of less rank in the foreign quarter of Soho. That the exking will receive an income of $100,000 yearly from his estates in Portugal now seems improbable. It is even likely the estates will not be turned over to him at all, but will be confiscated in partial settlement of the debts of his family to the Portuguese people. These debts are many times the value of Manuel's money. When Manuel was exiled it was reported he was only too glad to lay down his kingship and wanted to live a life free from the worry and dangers his title brought STRANGE MESSENGER OF SEA Bottle Encased in Barnacles Recently Washed Ashore on the Coast of California Rockland, Me.-A strange messenger of the seas was washed ashore at Hurricane island, recently, where it fell into the possession of a fisherman named Gustaf Nelson. Mr. Nelson thought he had wandered on a freak fish, but examination showed that his discovery was a bottle, so thoroughly covered with large barnacles that only the neck was visible. The bottle was of the kind used by lobster fishermen as toggles for lobster-pot buoys, but the barnacles in a size and character unlike any others he had ever seen in these waters. Instead of throwing his strange find back into the ocean Mr. Nelson carried it to the village store, where it occasioned so much comment that it was sent across to Rockland and The Encased Bottle. placed on exhibition. Many sea captains viewed it, and were unanimously of the opinion that they had never seen such barnacles this side of Labrador. These sea parasites are more than an inch in thickness and have probably been accumulating on the bottle many years. That the "toggle" may have drifted from the icy waters of Labrador to the little granite island off the Maine coast is not considered at all impossible. How many years it has been engaged in its voyage is an interesting problem scarcely likely to be solved. Joseph M. Porter, a stonecutter, who carried the bottle to Rockland, was offered a fancy figure for it by several tourists, but will send it to his brother, John Newton Porter of New York.

Cincinnati, O.—One solitary passenger pigeon, ending her life at the Zoological garden in Cincinnati, is today all that remains of an American species that early in the last century swarmed over the past in flocks numbering billions. With the death of this sole survivor of a bird tribe, whose nesting places often covered hundreds of square miles, there will soon disappear the last race of the wild pigeons that have been slaughtered by the million by men who fed their hops upon the carcasses they could not carry away. Though it is too late to save this species, special efforts are now being made by the Audubon workers to bring about the restoration of other birds of economic value that must otherwise share the same fate. For many months systematic search has been made throughout the continent by officials of the Audubon association for relics of the once prolific passenger pigeon. Members of the organization headed by Prof. C. F. Hedge of Clark university have made a standing offer of $1,500 to anyone discovering a nest of this species; but, though thousands have been trying eagerly for the prize, not one single claimant has appeared. In response to a recent inquiry by T. Gilbert Pearson, secretary of the National Association of Audubon societies, the authorities of the Cincinnati Zoo have just furnished the last chapter in the tragic tale of these butchered birds. The "Last of the Passenger Pigeons" is a female, eigh Passenger or Wild Pigeon. teen years old, whose mate died recently without issue at the age of twenty-four. As late as 1877 what is now known to have been the last nesting place of these wild birds was found in the state of Michigan, where their nests thickly covered the trees over an area 28 miles long and four miles wide. Residents of New York declare that in 1850 they flocked over Manhattan island in such numbers that they obscured the sun and that ships loaded in bulk with the bodies of these birds lay at the wavers selling them to tourists. They noted that as observing a roosting place of wild pigeons in Kentucky early in the last century that extended 40 miles and was three miles in width. On its edges men with guns, nets, clubs and torches slaughtered the roosting birds, each often bagging 500 in one day. Declaring that practically all the gulls and terns in America today have survived solely through the work of protection and restoration at their reservations, leaders of the National Association of Audubon societies are now appealing to the people of this country to support the work of preserving dying species of native birds and to prepare already Upland Plover, Cabot's Tern and the Least Tern, they assert, can now be saved to the nation by quick emergency measures for which special' funds are to be raised. Popularizing the Potato. Paris—When potatoes were introduced into France the natives had been told they were poisonous and that it was death to partake of them. To overcome this prejudice Parmentier gave a big banquet in Paris, at which every dish was made from potatoes. There were 16 courses in which potatoes played the major or minor part. Even the brandy and liquors were the product of this vegetable, King Louis XII. was among the guests and gave his host land on white to cultivate potatoes near Paris. As another grew to site Parmentier posted gardens and the fields by day and withdrew them at night so that those who lived around them could steal them at night. The vegetable and thus become convinced. So, unconsciously, the French were converted to the dish and never gave it up. HAVE YOU READ THE APPEAL?

THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL For the purpose of erecting a memorial in honor of the memory of Abraham Lincoln, to cost not exceeding $2,000,000, the Senate has passed a bill creating a commission clothed with authority to secure plans and designs. The bill was brought to the attention of the Senate by its author, Senator Cullom, of Illinois, and was passed without even the formality of discussion. The Lincoln Memorial Commission is the name of the body authorized by Congress to select the memorial to Lincoln. Its membership consists of President Taft, Senator Wetmore.

The bill provides an ap propriation of $100,000 to meet the expenses of the commission. KEEP NOT SILENCE. At a consistency to be held early in March, the Pope will deliver an important allocation of protest at the loss of temporal power and territorial integrity by the Holy See. He will solemnly reaffirm the imprescriptible rights of the Holy See in Rome. The allocation will notify Catholic sovereigns and heads of state not to visit Rome during the jubilee celebration of Italian unity in 1911. The Austrian, Spanish and Belgian governments have formally assured the Vatican on this point. It is not thought that any state diplomatically represented at the Vatican will disregard the protest, which is merely intended to guard against the possibility of the Holy See's silence being interpreted as tacit consent to the present situation. The Afro-American ought to protest at all times and all occasions against the wrongs to which he is subjected in this country. "Silence is being in interpted as tacit consent" to the in justice with which he is treated. ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIER. The Baltimore Star of last Saturday has a whole page of religious news. The Epworth Leaguers are organizing a mission study; the Baptist Union is busy; the Women's Missionary Society has some new scheme to convert the heathen. The Brotherhood of St. Andrew will hear an address on "The Forward Movement;" the Presbyterians will have a conference to discuss "A Vital Question for Every Church;" the Catholics are at work along many lines and the Methodists are getting ready for a "Monster Methodist Mass Prayer Meeting." American Christianity as exemplified in Baltimore and many other communities is a farce pure and simple. HIS SOUL GOES MARCHING ON! HIS SOUL GOES MARCHING ON! It is about concluded that Kansans, in response to what they say is the challenge of Virginia, will contribute to the "national valhalla," to be company with John James Ingals, a statue of John Brown, of Osawatomie and of Harpers Ferry. And why not? Brown is as representative of Kansas as Lee is of Virginia, and it is designed that every State select and send its fair sample. So says the Washington Post and THE APPEAL agrees with the sentiment and hopes that the thing will be done. And it furthermore hopes that the statues will be placed directly opposite each other like Jachin and Boa in the porch of King Solomon's Temple. The first real encounter of the. ```markdown ``` HON.

A single farming county in Alabama with a negro population of 80 per cent of the total shows a loss of 8,000 inhabitants in ten years. The negro has abandoned the cotton farm for the coal mine, or the iron works, or city life. He left the farm because the white man next him grew more cotton the acre planted than he could produce, and that is a law inexorable and self-executing. The Afro-American has left the farm and gone into the mill, because on the former the rule is to cheat him out of the last cent, while in the latter he is paid good wages at short intervals. We notice that according to Southern journals, the Afro-American gets all the prizes for first bales and best cot- According to Dr. Eugen Oberhummer, professor of historical geography at the University of Vienna, who lectured recently before the Washington Academy of Sciences, the present so-called white people of Europe and America are descended from Africans and Asiatics. By means of charts and anthropological explanations, Dr. Oberhummer traced the evolution of African and Asiatical types to the present day population of Europe and America. Dr. Emil G. Hirsch of Chicago in a recent speech called the "Hebrew Question" a misnomer and said Christianity is on trial. His words are true and may be applied to the so-called "Negro Question." There is no "Negro Question" in America. The question is will the white man live up to the precepts of Christianity or will he continue to make it a farce as at present? Recently a foundling home in New York sent 52 babies to Texas, where they were adopted by Southern families. The managers of the foundlings' home have done those babies a great wrong. They will be brought up in the South, where, as they grow larger physically, their souls will become dwarfed by their narrow, provincial environment. The Persian government has raised its voice to appeal to the whole world for justice against Great Britain and Russia. All over the world people are protesting against injustice and wrongs. The Afro-American in the South is satisfied with his jim-crow condition, at least he is not making any protest. Charles V. Richey, a Washington Afro-American, has invented a device which prevents the use of the phone by non-subscribers, but does not interfere with incoming calls or messages to be received. It will probably put the inventor into the millionaire class. It is very discouraging to know that nearly fifty years after Lincoln's proclamation there is an Afro-American in the country so vile that he advocates the segregation of his race. Such a being deserves the execration of all decent people. 1 HOW IS IT? PROF. J. C. CORBIN. The Last of the Corbin Family Died Suddenly in Pine Bluff, Ark. Prof. Joseph C. Corbin, an uncle of the Adams Bros., publisher of The Appeal, was found dead in his bed on last Monday morning, in Pine Bluff, Ark. Prof. Corbin is the last of the Corbin family of Cincinnati, Ohio, where for many years they resided, held in the highest esteem by all who knew them. The parents of Prof. Corbin were Mr. and Mrs. William Corbin and their children, who reached maturity were: Margaret Charlotte, Susan, Belle, Elizabeth, Mary, Lucy, Joseph, John and Henry. The family was second to none in the Queen City in point of moral worth, education, general ability pleasing appearance and personality. This was a Christian family of the Baptist persuasion and the husbands of Margaret, Beile, Susan and Mary were Baptist preachers. All were teachers at some period of their lives. Several were clever vocalists and musicians. Prof. J. C. Corbin was a profound scholar; he was a graduate of Athens college, Ohio, and prepared himself, while teaching in Louisville, Ky., to enter college and completed the four years course in three years. He was a clerk in the Third National Bank in Cincinnati during the civil war and was drafted, but he was held in such high position by the officials of the bank that they furnished a substitute for him. John Corbin served as a private in the civil war in one of the Ohio regiments that first answered the call for volunteers. He and Henry died during a yellow fever scourge in Algiers, La. Henry was private secretary for Gov. P. B. S. Pinchback and acted as manager of the Louisiana which Pinchback published in New Orleans, Prof. J. C. Corbin went to Arkansas in the latter part of the sixties and for a time was city editor of the Daily Republican of Little Rock. Subse- Prof. J. C. Corbin. quently he was elected Superintendent of Public Instruction of Arkansas on the Republican ticket, which position he held until the state was ruptured by the Brooks-Baxter war and the Republicans lost control of the government. Subsequently he was appointed Principal of the Branch State Normal Institute at Pine Bluff, which position he held for many years. At the time of his death he was conducting a high grade correspondence school. He stood high in Masonic circles and for many years was Grand Secretary of Arkansas. His wife died a few months ago in Chicago, and he is survived by a son and a daughter. He managed to save some of his carnings and was the possessor of considerable property in Arkansas and Illinois. A good man has gone to his reward who has: "Left his foot prints on the sands of time." Requiescat in pace. The Virginia state legislature has gone and passed a law, becoming effective September 17, that requires all sheets adorning the beds of public hostelries to be eight feet long and clean. In consequence hotel managers are in a flutter, of providing fall household supplies, and sheeting is being ordered by the bolt to meet Old Dominion needs. Now, wasn't that just like a man to treat law in order that his "tipy toes" may not be frost nipped in winter and mosquito bitten in summer? asks the Baltimore Sun. A woman would have drawn her little pink toes to any height of discomfort in order to adapt herself to an abbreviated sheet, would have worn fleece lined slippers, would have anointed herself with mosquito repelling ointments. That's a woman's way; but lordly man, arising from discomfort slumbers, hies him to the nearest palace of justice, flings off a law, says "Let there be adequate sheets." And, lo, there are sheets to his liking, even if hotel keepers hustle. Ministerial Salaries According to a new government bulletin the ministerial profession is not in so bad a case in this day an generation as we are sometimes let to suppose. In 1906 there were 164,830 Christian ministers in the United States; they were increasing at the rate of about 4,000 a year, and they were paid an average salary of $683. It is estimated that this year a hundred million dollars will be paid in this country for ministers' salaries and twice as much more for maintenance of churches, missions, extensions and congregational expenses. Three hundred millions is a fair sum of money—twice the cost of the pension list; more than our annual payment for new automobiles—Harper's Weekly. Providential.

Governor's Motherless Daughter, Who is a Half-Blood Indian, Assumes Duties Ordinarily Devolving on an Older Person. Ardmore, Okla.—Oklahoma's new "first lady," mistress of the executive mansion and debanute daughter of Gov. Lee Cruce, is a half-blood Indian. Her mother has been dead since she was a little girl and her father has devoted himself to his daughter, who is now a student in Hargrove college, this city. Miss Lorena Jane Cruce is the full name of the young girl. She is only sixteen years old, but the absence of anybody else to take charge of the social and domestic affairs of the executive mansion makes it necessary for the governor's daughter to step to the front and assume the duties ordinarily devolving on an older person. Cruce was married in 1893 to Chickie Le Flore, a full-blood Chickasaw-Choctaw Indian of the noted Le Flore family of Carter county. She was conceded to be one of the most beautiful girls in that section of the territory. She and her sister were known throughout the southern part of the state as "Chickie and Chickie." The mother of the girls was a Chickasaw and the father a Choctaw. Mrs. Cruce, who died eight years ago, inherited the facial characteristics of the Chickasaws and was named "Chickie," while the name, "Chickie," was given to the other twin, who resembled the father's race, the Choctaws. Cruce came to the Indian territory from Kentucky in 1891 and settled at Ardmore. He had studied law at night, receiving final instruction at Vanderbilt university. He went into the office of his brother, A. C. Cruce, who had preceded him from Kentucky, and they formed a partnership with W. B. Johnson, former United States attorney of the Indian territory district. The law firm was known as Cruce, Johnson & Cruce until A. C. A Miss Lorena J. Crue. Cruce became the federal district attorney under President Cleveland, W. J. Cruce, a brother, who had gone to Texas, came to Ardmore then and the new firm became known as Cruce, Cruce & Cruce. Lee Cruce remained a member of the firm until 1901, when he organized the Ardmore National bank and was chosen cashier. He was elected president of the institution in 1903, and held the position until January 1, 1910, when he resigned to make the race for governor. Cruce was born on a farm five miles south of Marion, Crittenden county, Kentucky, July 8, 1864. A Life for a Life Cape Town, Africa—Everywhere in New Calm the traveler is continually brought face to face with death, and the natives are devoid of the slightest pity or respect for the dead or dying, although after a death they will often wall and mourn for a considerable time. Murder is an everyday occurrence, and nothing could be worse than the morals of the natives. In fact, they have none; they thieve and lie with a persistence and cunning which is surprising. The Papuans have a cheerful custom which demands a life for a life; should anyone die, at the first opportunity they kill someone—they are not very particular whom—to make up for it. When the account is squared, everybody—except, presumably, the victim's friends—are satisfied. New Field for Women. New York—Many large real estate firms in New York, Baltimore, Boston, Philadelphia and Washington are employing women in skyscrapers to keep an eye on things. They are better than men in this respect, it is contended. The pioneer in this new field for women came from Chicago and got a position as general superintendent in a New York office building. She regulates the sweepers, dusters and even the employees below the earth line, including firemen, and so forth. One duty of this busy woman is to show vacant rooms. The agent of the building says she works wonders. A pretty and attractive young woman, who persuasively relates all the conveniences of her building—how cleanly are its attendants, how regular its firemen and janitors—can fill up any sort of office. Record Price for Corn. Council Bluffs, Ia.—An amazing price was paid for prize-winning corn at the Missouri Valley Corn Show here, recently. R. B. Wallace paid $105 for ten ears of corn, or at the rate of $700 a bushel. The ten ears were raised by Wilson Pierson of Silver City, Ia., and had won $275 in prizes before being sold. ```markdown ``` An unseatarian Christian Institution, devoted especially to advanced education, offers a variety of school courses with industrial Training.

The first-nighters who perspiringly —Gallel THREE APPEAL 3 ventured forth to witness the perform- ance in spite of the ferocious. sultrl ness of the weather, had grave doubts as to what was coming, but It did not take them long to realize that Mr. Holcomb had envolved a drama which is bound to prove immensely popular, and which offers an exceptionally fine medium for the display of histrionic skill. The lines are strong and virile and the elements of the dramatic are strongly marked. One rarely hears more stirring dialogue and. the en comiums heaped upon the play were many.” Such a criticism from the city in which Mrs, Wilson was almost. wor- shipped for her services to the sick and wounded during the war, and which guarded jealously the fame of her favorite novel, i5.a good advance notice for the attraction.

A traveler passing through the Broad Top mountain district in north- ern Bedford county, Pennsylvania, last summer came across across a lad of sixteen cultivating a patch of miserable potatoes. He remarked upon their unpromising appearance and expressed pity for any one that had to dig a living out of such soil. “I don’t need no pity,” said the boy resentfully. . ‘The traveler hastened to soothe his wounded pride. But in the offended tone of one who has been misjudged the boy added: “I ain't as poor as you think. I'm only workin’ here. 1 don’t own this place.” MINNEAPOLIS DOINGS IN AND ABOUT THE GREAT “FLOUR CITY.” Matters Social, Religious and Genera Which Have Happened and are Happen Among the People of th City.

"The last Democratic attorney general of the state of Maine, old General McClellan," the old resident said, "once lived here in Kansas City. He came west just after the Republicans had gained control of the state, which disgusted him with affairs in New England. "The general was a religious man, but he preferred his own method of worship to that of any church. "But in spite of his pet aversion his wife persuaded him to accompany her one Sunday morning to hear a preacher who at that time was noted in Kansas City for his vociferous oratory. "The McCillians had a pew close to the front of the church, and as the general strode down the aisle his long, snow white beard flowing far down on his chest, he made a most imposing figure. The preacher ascended the pulpit, read a verse from the Bible, and uttered the first words of his sermon. "But he had progressed only a little way when he paused in dismay. The old general, realizing that the part of the service which he most disliked—the preaching—had begun, picked up his hat, walked down the aisle with a stride as imposing as that with which he had entered, and left the church. "After a pause the preacher continued with a rather freeminded address. He finished with an imposing, well-rounded sentence. The organist began to play, when—back into the church stalked General McClellan, but without his beard! He had made use of his time to have his face clean shaven, a change that he had been contemplating for some time."—Kansas City Times. CHANCE TO OBTAIN WIVES Turkish Government Doesn't Know How to Dispose of 400 From Former Sultan's Harem. Has anyone any use for 400 wives? If so, the Turkish government would like to get into communication with them. This is the number of women contained in the harem of the former sultan, and the problem of their disposal is becoming a serious one. Most of them are natives of Albania and Arabia, and two distinct efforts have been made to return them to their friends and relatives, but the latter absolutely refuse to receive the women, having, apparently, no further use for them. Under these circumstances, the authorities at Constantinople are in something of a quandary, since the cost of their maintenance is a considerable item; and as many of them are quite young girls it would seem as though they will remain a burden on the state for many years to come unless someone or other can be induced to take them over. The situation is a distinctly humorous one, but it is not the form of humor that appeals to the Turkish government, and the cold-blooded suggestion has been brought forward that they should be disposed of summarily. There is small chance of this awful suggestion being carried into effect, however, owing to the firm attitude of the foreign ambassadors at Constantinople, who insist that the women shall be treated with due respect and consideration.—Modern Society.
