Where the Main 6 W WHEN the congress of the United States at its last session appropriated money for raising the ill-fated battleship Maine it made an important provisio in connection with the gigantic wrecking project. The stipulation in question was to the effect that the remains of the members of the Maine's crew which have never been accounted for were brought back to the United States and buried with due honors. Probably it has escaped the memory of many of our readers that not all of the ship's company on the old Maine were accounted for after that vessel was blown up in Havana harbor just on the eve of the Spanish-American war, which this tragic incident did so much to precipitate. However, such was the case. Captain (now Rear Admiral, retired) Sigbee, who was in command of the vessel on the fated night, escaped together with a number of his officers and men, but a large proportion of the ship's company went to watery graves. Following the disaster there were recovered the bodies of 163 men of the Maine's crew, but more than three score of the men who gave up their lives for their country on that night have never to this day been accounted for. The officials of the government are all confident that the remains of these missing men will be found in the hold of the wrecked vessel when she is raised to the surface in accordance with the elaborate salvage plans now in progress. Probably only the skeletons of the unfortunate will remain, but the government will provide a regulation coffin for each and accord the full honors of the service in connection with interment in their final resting place. It is fitting that the national legislature should designate Arlington as the resting place of this final grim muster squad from the long-submerged Maine.

The remains of the Maine men that were recovered immediately after the disaster were first entrapped in a chamber at Havana, but arrangements were later to transfer them to their native land and they were reinterred at Arlington with solemn ceremony the latter part of December, 1898, about ten months after the Maine went to destruction. Already plans are under way for a splendid monument to be erected, after the new graves shall have been made, to all the victims of the Maine. Rear Admiral Sigelseb, who was in command of the ill-fated vessel, is interested in the project and so are many prominent public spirited citizens, including a number of men and women who were instrumental in raising the money for that stately monument to the Rough Riders in connection with the placing of which former President Roosevelt delivered one of his best addresses. Within sight of the graves of the Maine victims at Arlington also is the towering shaft of the monument erected by the National Society of Colonial Dames in honor of the memory of the heroes of the Spanish-American Maine; one thousand of whom—victims of the Cuban campaign in 1898—rest within the shadow of this lofty tribute.

"At one time I thought I had fallen into quiet sleeplessness as I was the time when a horry-handed day of the good days opened spies took me in payment for his crop of flowers and let me sleep out the spring and early summer in a red yarn sock, but one morning in August, ere the dawn had fushed the faintest rose, even before Chanteceler had flapped his wings. I was yanked out of the sock and deep down within me I knew that it was for the giddy whirl again. In all, it was refreshing to be back where things were doing and being done at the county fair. I longed to get out of Jay's troubles but Jay was foxy. The barkers barked strumously before I got out of the pocket. However, come out I did, and—well, thinking it over passionately, I believe the privilege of seeing what was not the walnut shell came higher to Jay than did the fool gift basket of flowers to Regleg on Broadway."

There are notable general monuments such as those above mentioned and the famous "monument to the unknown dead," erected over the unidentified remains of more than two thousand soldiers that fell on the fields of Bull Run and other scenes of Indian war. And there are also monuments over Indian war, which are of the greatest interest to all visitors. Among these latter are the sculptured tributes over the graves of Gen. Phil. Sheridan, the famous cavalry leader, General Crook, the great Indian fighter, and the gallant Lawton. Arlington was, prior to the civil war, the home of Gen. Robert E.

FOOD A LA TABLOID New First-Aid-to-the-Hungry Ration for Army. Twenty-Four Hours' Meals All Packed In a Can About the Size of a Cake of Kitchen Soap. Washington.—A half pound of grub a day for a hard-worked soldier's sweating in the trenches! Dinner, two and two-thirds lunch after forced march, when he is footwear and weary! Twenty-four hours' meals, all packed snugly in a tiny can, about as big as Bridget's slab of kitchen soap! Such is the invention of Gen. Henry G. Sharpe, commissary general of Ucle Sam's army—the busy officer who thrice daily fed the 8,300 hungry mouths of our soldier boys. He is the first inventor you ever heard of who hopes that there will never be any demand for the prize fruit of his genius. And this is because this invention is an "emergency ration," whose use would mean, in the first place, war—which General Sherman rightly defined as "hell"—and, in the second place, an unfortunate emergency of war resulting from a cutting off of the supplies of an army in the field. The sky-blue can, which holds an emergency breakfast, dinner and supper, all within its tiny shell, is four and three-quarter inches long, less than a three-foot and an inch and a quarter inch. You can one in your hip pocket, without arousing the least suspicion that you are bearing refreshments less proper and polite. War breaks out, say, with the Japs, the Germans, or the bloomin' British. Each Yankee brave in khaki has one of these can of first-aid-to-the-empty dropped into his haversack, where it keeps fresh for months, and where it must be regularly accounted for at in- ARMY EMERGENCY RATION 8 OUNces Net PREPARED BY NEW selection until falls the unhappy day when the enemy cuts off the commissariat and the pabulum falls to show up. Then each boy in drab, squatting by the good camp fire, grabs the loose end of the blue bandeau enbreaking the head of his can and gives her a twist. It works after the principle of the tin ribbon around the fragrant sardine can—only it really works. From the package fall three slabs of vermilion very like the brown cakes of chocolate in small children buy from train butchers, and with which they delight to crumble and plush seats of the passenger coaches. The hungry soldier may draw but one slab. From this he removes the tightly-pressed wrapper of figured tin, and so he sits down to supper. The other two cakes must be put back in the can and saved, one for tomorrow's breakfast and the other for tomorrow's dinner, if need be. If his palate does not take to his compact meal in this dry form he can, with knife or bayonet, scrape his slab over his tin cup and boil the scrapings three minutes in the cupful of water, thus brewing a hot beverage, which, in chilly weather, would undoubtedly be preferred to the cold, dry fodder. It tastes much like the popular brands of milk chocolate, but not soewear as chocolate—which French tourists have long esteemed as an emergency travel ration—is the base of the compound.

GIRL HEIR TO GREAT WEALTH Millionaire Indiana Car Builder Leaves Daughter the Ward of a Chicago Bank. Michigan City, Ind., Little Miss Catherine Barker, the fourteen-year-old daughter of the late John H. Barker, the wealthy car builder of this city, has learned of the strange conditions under which she becomes one of the richest girls in the world. After the funeral of her father, which was held from the family resided here, the relatives gathered in the dining hall his mansion to hear the reading of a trust depositing of the Barker estate of upwards of $30,000,000. There were substantial bequests to Mrs. Nelson Luddington Barnes of Chicago and Mrs. Harold A. Richard. Catherine Darker son of London, nieces, and to Norton W. Barker, a nephew, of Michigan City. The bulk of the vast estate went to the little daughter, who was an only child and the idol of her father. It was his love for her, according to intimate friends, which made him tie up her fortune, instead a way that she might best be protected from fortune-hunting husbands. Both the girl and the fortune are turned over to the guardianship of the First Trust and Savings bank, Chicago. That institution will direct her education and limit her expenditures. She is of age. Even then the trustees will estimate, and only the income of the estate will be paid to the young woman. PROPOSE A SHAFT TO DANTE Italian Citizens of New York Sub-scribbling for Memorial Which They Will Give to City. New York—New York's Italian citizens, who have already presented the city with monuments to Columbus, Verdi and Verazano, are now subservient to the city with the effort to erect a monument to Dante, author of the "Divine Comedy." The figure of the poet, of heroic size, will be backed by a shaft of granite 65 feet from base to summit. Life-size figures of Literature and Religion and life-size groups representing Dante's visions of hell, purgatory and heaven, will decorate the base. At the very foot, in bas-relief, is the muskling Romulus and Remus. Above the poet's head is an American eagle, bearing a laurel crown. The monument THE MEMORIAL OF THE DEATH OF MAYOR JOHN H. HARRIS is tipped with a single star symbol of the hope of modern Italy. If the plans are approved by the city authorities, the park will be asigned a place in one of the parks. Tuning the Bells. Troy, N. Y.—The general impression is that the tone of a bell is largely a matter of accident, but this is not so. A bell must be tuned the same as a piano or any other musical instrument. Every bell has five sounds, which must blend together in perfect harmony, and this is accomplished by shaving down certain parts of the bell. The sound is secured. In the event of shaving down the bell is not injured, but the tuning operation is prolonged, as other parts must be operated on and cut away to a corresponding degree. $2.40 PER YEAR Her Brilliant Part in a Military Event Which Has Few Parallels in History—Honored by a Grateful "Country." Madrid, Spain—Every country in the world has its heroes as well as its heroes, and its heroes as well as those of peace. While Molly Pitcher, who during the revolutionary war operated her husband's cannon when he was stricken down, is justly famous in American annals and celebrated in prose and verse, the Maid of Saragossa is even more renowned in her native country, Spain. While Palafox was the hero, she was incomparably the heroine of the siege of Saragossa, one of the most desperate in modern history and equally daring, offensively and defensively. For her brilliant services Spain made her a lieutenant in the army and bestowed upon her many decorations. Her name was Augustina and as a girl she was a peddler of cool drinks in the city. From the beginning to the end of the siege and was ever in the heat of conflict with her courage and daring served to hortify the gallant defenders in the darkest hours of those bloody months. She had name Artilleria from having snatched the match from the hands of a dying gunner and discharged the piece at the invaders. She died in Cuesta, Spain, in 1857, at a very advanced age. The siege of Saragossa, in which the maid distinguished herself, was conducted by the French in 1808-09, during the peninsular war. Saragossa was one of the cities that blocked the success of Napoleon's marshals in subduing all Spain. On June 15, 1808, the French invested it with a force of 100,000 men, its defender was Joseph Palafox, a youth without military experience, but who had sense enough to associate with himself men of martial training and courage. But while inexperienced in war, he had the heart of the warrior, and when the French general summoned him to surrender, Palafox returned the immortal reply: "War to the knife and the knife to the hilt." The Spaniards made a gallant defense of the city, worsting the French in many a bloody encounter and check- ing their every advance. Finally on August 4, after a fierce cannonading, the French stormed the place and forced their way through the walls. Then followed a week of most desperate fighting, carried on in the streets and from house to house; and adamably brave, brave as they were and adamably shapped, shapped, forced to retreat and raise the siege. Palafox and his men at once began making preparations for the second siege which they knew would come. On December 20 a French army of 40,000 picked soldiers under Marshals Moncey and Mortier encamped before the walls and at once began a vigorous prosecution of the siege. Finally the French were successful at all points and the city wall for one-third its length was captured. But though the wall of the town was in possession of the besiegers their entire army began beginning. Every house, every street, the city wall was a stronghold in itself. The French resorted to mining and literally blasted their way into the city. But they were met with dauntless courage at every turn. Pestilence long before had broken out among the defenders, but though they were dying by the hundreds every day from disease and bullets they never faltered. On February 18 a grand assault was made by the hundreds every day from fire in a dozen places and the streets unburied in the streets. But the Spaniards were unyielding. The hopelessness of the struggle had now, however, become apparent to the Spaniards and the city was surrendered. The garrison, reduced to 12,000 men, were accorded all the honors of war. During the siege 60,000 person-hours, most of them by dismounted Palafox, most of them by defender, in violation of the terms of the capitulation was sent as a prisoner to Vincennes in France. Later he returned to Spain, became prominent in its political affairs, was created duke of Sargossa and died in 1847—ten years before the passing away of the Mald of Sargossa Not long since a handsome status was erected to the Mald of Sargossa a valor helped to defend and this memorial will hand down to future generations the story of her courage and heroism.

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, President Wetmore.

The bill provides an appropriation of $100,000 to meet the expenses of the commission. KEEP NOT SILENCE. At a consistory 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 impressible 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 diplomaticly 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 terrapined as tacit consent" to the injustice 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." While all of the alleged religious work was going on, the city council enacted the law practically establishing a Ghetto for Afro-Americans. American Christianity as exemplified in Baltimore and many other communities is a farce pure and simple. 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 Ingalls, a statue of John Brown, of Osawatome and of Harper 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 100 Ex. U. S.

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- 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. In the last issue of THE APPEAL the inscription placed under the cuts of Dr. Charles Bentley and Hon. Richard T. Greener were transposed inadvertently. They are both great men and both fine looking ones, so honors are about even on that score. However, we humbly beg pardon for the accident. --- 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 pole. 1 HOW IS IT?

The battery is along the back, in the bottom, and the light comes down from the top in front, shedding its rays over the speaker's manuscript, which is pasted together in one long strip and passes over rollers being turned by a handle at the side. With such an apparatus a lecturer need not dread speaking in a poorly lighted hall, and those who use it for outdoor oratory can always count on a well-illuminated manuscript on the darkest night. The front, it will be understood, lets down completely while the top is raised only a few inches.

Foster & Hosler, Chicago, who make this device, state that 5,400 blows a minute may be struck and that the vibration so common in pneumatic tools is greatly reduced. Substitute for Platinum A substitute for platinum in electric light bulbs is much to be desired. This metal is very rare and costly, and even the minute pieces in the 250 million electric lamps manufactured yearly have a total value of more than $50,000. The proposition to use iron wire in its place has now been made by Dr. H. J. S. Sand, of Nottingham University College. Hitherto only platinum wire has been satisfactorily sealed into the bases of the bulbs on a commercial scale, but Dr. Sand claims a method of sealing iron wire vacuum-tight into glass, and has made a successful demonstration of his process.

Miniature lamps carried as personal decoration in fancy dances have had a pleasing appearance, but this German performer has sought something more sensational by covering her costume with stripes of finely divided metal, and bringing each strip into the circuit of a small electric current of high voltage and high rate of oscillation. On a darkened stage, the figure appears in a wild and startling garb of ribbons of lightning. Miners Get Used to Rocket and Seem to Have No Trouble in Conversing Over Wire. With the extension of the long distance telephone system as far west as Denver it is now possible to talk from Chicago to the bottom of some of the deepest mines in the Rockies. At Idaho Springs, where the Newhouse tunnel has been run under the mountains for over three miles to connect a network of underground workings, there is a mine now down 2,500 feet. This mine, like many others, has its own telephone system which is connected with the surface telephone lines. At the bottom of the deepest shaft, 2,500 feet under the mountain, there is now a telephone instrument, and standing there in the bowels of the earth one can call up Chicago. Of course telephoning in a mine isn't quite as easy as it is in a sound proof telephone booth, especially if the great drills are working. Nevertheless the miners get used to the racket and seem to have no trouble talking over the telephone, though to others it is almost impossible at first few attempts. They tried talking to Chicago last summer, when the arrival of the long distance telephone caused almost as big a sensation in Colorado as did the first railroads. It is a common occurrence to talk with Denver, forty miles away, from some of the subterranean workings in the Rocky mountains. The telephone instruments in the mines are specially constructed with a view of protecting their delicate parts from the dampness. At Idaho Springs there is a regular telephone system under one of the mountains where there are over a hundred mines, all of them tapped by an underground railway through which the telephone wires run. PORTABLE LAMPS ARE HANDY Little Device Looking Much Like Tape Measure Affords Convenient, Self-Supported Light. "Flexilyte," looking very much like a tape measure enclosed in a leather case, is the name of the device shown Handy Portable Lamp. which takes the place of an extension cord and light, says Popular Electricity. Provided with an attachment plug, 15 feet of cord, a crank on one side of the case for winding up the cord and a standard socket in the center on the other side, the equipment affords a convenient, self-supported light and an enclosure for the unused cord. Striking Electrical Sign A very striking electrical sign has been set up in Denver, says Scientific American. The sign represents a skyrocket rocket shooting from the ground to a height of 150 feet, where is explodes into hundreds of sparks that fall in a shower to the ground. This effect is produced by successively illuminating a string of lamps running up the side of the building to the top of a tall framework on the roof. Over 1,000 lamps are used to produce the effect. Use of Precious Metals. Few persons realize what an enormous amount of the precious metals and even precious stones, such as diamonds, are used in the manufacture of telephone apparatus. In a single year one company uses upward of a ton of platinum for this class of apparatus alone. And platinum costs 30 per cent. more than pure gold, demonstrating that this expensive metal would not be used so extensively unless results justified it. Stimulating Vegetable Growth A farmer in Texas has decided to experiment with the use of electric light for stimulating vegetable growth, says Scientific American. He has arranged to procure power from a neighboring plant by which he will supply a net work of tungsten lamps, placed 150 feet apart all over the fields. These will be illuminated all night, and it is expected that they will increase the growth of the crops. ELECTRICAL NOTES The famous Hoosac tunnel will be electrified. A new meter registers how long a telephone is used. Liverpool claims to be the best lighted city in the United Kingdom. Germany is experimenting with glass telephone poles, reinforced with wire. The telegraph companies of the United States employ about 30,000 persons. The British admiralty has developed a system of wireless telegraphy for submarines. An electric motor of 10,000 horsepower is being built in England for use in a steel mill. Hardened steel dies are produced by electrolytic etching in a recently patented German process. A piece of red string, tied to the positive wires in an ignition system, will save time and trouble. Water flowing from subterranean streams of unknown depth is used for power in a novel hydroelectric plant in Arizona. An electric potato peeler for hotels and restaurants resolves a container with a roughened lining, which grinds off the skins as the potatoes are driven against it by centrifugal force. For felling trees with as little waste as possible a German inventor has devised a machine which cuts through their trunks by the friction of a steel wire, driven at high speed by an electric motor. ```markdown ``` An unscottarian Christian Institution, devoted especially to advanced education.

A traveler passing through the Broad Top mountain district-in north. em 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, don’t own this place.” | MINNEAPOLIS DOINGS IN AND ABOUT THE GREAT “FLOUR CITY."

When Harry Lauder sailed some time ago on the Mancteria after a long stage run in the states, an English officer told this story of him—a story Lauder does not particularly like to have repeated. When Lauder went to London for the first time the stage reputation he had made in the provinces had not made much of an impression on the metropolis. With a shrewd sense of the value of striking effects, Lauder decided he would arouse the Londoners to his peculiar merits in a novel manner. From some boneyard or other he procured the most skeleton-like specimen of horse-flesh he could find. On this he planned to make his first stage entrance. The old horse was tractable enough, with Lauder astride, awaiting his turn in the wings; but when the little fellow urged him forward for the entrance there was a balk, a buck, and Harry was ingloriously shot to the front of the stage over the horse's head, the animal peering after him with what might be termed an amused expression. Lauder slowly and painfully rose to his feet, while the gallery applauded and stamped and cried lustily: "Do it again, Harry! Do it again!" Lauder rubbed his aching back, felt cautiously of his bones, looked back at the horse, and, turning to the audience, he said: "Like — — I will." And he didn't; but thereafter his popularity was assured—Judge. TALENTED CONVICTS GO FREE Song and Poetry Bring Pardon to Two; Cartoon Work Frees Third. A prisoner has just been released from jail because he sang well. Only a little while ago a convict was pardoned because he wrote poetry. This sort of thing can be prolonged indefinitely, the Cleveland Plaindealer remarks. Convict Bill Drydock will be pardoned next month because he is a fine cartoonist. With a bit of plumbago and a whitewashed wall Bill drew a striking likeness of Banker Swoop, who is his seatmate in the prison dining room. Convict Joe Skeetch, the notorious Brooklyn thug, has developed rra talent as a carver. A rolling pin he whitted out of a bed leg for the warden's wife shows a high degree of art craft skill. Active measures are being taken to interest the governor in Joe's behalf. Convict Mulky Sludge, the kidnapper, has made a monkey wrench out of a bit of iron hoop from a water pail and two yards of wire from a broom. The fact that he tried to brain Guard Tomkins with his ingenuous tool will not weaken a determined effort to secure the governor's recognition of Mulky's remarkable mechanical skill. Convict Jerry Twiggs, who poisoned the ice cream at the Methodist church picnic in Skinkle's woods in the suburbs of Weehawken last May, has developed a keen interest in line engraving. Entirely unaided, his only tools being a shoemaker's awl and a bit of sandpaper, he made a plate for a $2 bank bill which is so well done that he had no trouble in selling it to a visitor for two pounds of cut plug, a box of knockout drops, three flies and a bottle of sulphuric acid. Convict Twiggs birthday comes next Monday, and his leading birthday gift will be an unconditional pardon. --- A scene OTH PHONES How Ed. the Ed. was Lived w had typho that sickn ways weal to hobble n Wise Wise a condition 9 Special Prices on Family Washing Give us a Trial. 3rd and Minnesota.
