The Appeal

PAUL AND INDIANS WO B.C. 2000 BY MABEL LOOMIS TODD WHERE IND INDIANS WORSHIPPED B.C.2000 By MABEL LOOMIS TODD RUINED AUDIENCE HALL OF THE INCOR TEMPLE OF THE SUN FROM A DISTANCE ENTURIES before the benevolent if autocratic sway of the Iness, in the days of prehistoric Peru, Pachacamac, "creator god of the world," "the who animates the universe," "world adjuster," was worshiped by primitive Indians. And despite the magnificent temple of Tiahuanco, that marvelous and enigmatic structure near Titicaca, 13,000 feet above sea level, and the splendors of Qorikancha's golden courts at Cuzco, the Pachacamac temple by the sea was regarded as more awe inspiring than either of the others. To its oracles all pilgrims flocked. But during the period immediately before the Spanish conquest these three rivaled one another in richness and sanctity. Little is left of the old glories today. Walls rise, still showing bits of mural painting, preserved in the hot and dry desert air; indications of terraces remain, of courts and avenues, a labyrinth of city RUINS OF CONVENT OF MAMACOMA RUINS OF CONVENT OF MAMACONA CONVENT OF MAMACONA streets; and thousands of skulls whiten the surrounding sands, grewsome reminders of the multitude who formerly lived and worshiped at these ruined shrines. fruits. In old days maize and cotton were extensively cultivated here and in many of the earliest graves pods of cotton have been found. It still grows easily in a soil surpassingly rich when irrigated. A nearby hactenda, apparently containing the most extensive of the ancient burial places, is chiefly devoted to the fluffy bolls and brown stalks of this plant. Peru has few merely tourist visitors, and of these fewer still see Pachacamac, the trip from Lima being considered long and hard. But for one accustomed to the saddle (and little of South America can be otherwise seen) Pachacamac is comfortably accessible. The most scholarly and reliable authority upon Pacachacam history is undoubtedly Dr. Max Uhle, now head of the new National museum at Lima. To him is the due elucidation of many puzzling anachronisms in this rich region, and it was our good fortune to be accompanied on this trip by Doctor Uhle—to whom every wall and angle and brick has absolute significance. The simplest route is by the excellent electric cars to the pretty suburban Chloes, beyond Miraflores, where horses should have been ordered in advance to await the traveler. Over roadside walls of mud or adobe brick wild nasturtiums clamber in a bar of color; bare, high hills rise at one side; the battlefield of San Juan, famous in the Chilean war, and here and there populous haddacades are passed before the open country is reached. A mile or two of jungle-like swamp follows, rich in interest for lovers of birds and growing things. But beyond this fertile area one may canter along the hard sand beach for nearness to the remaining miles. Sea birds in such myriad habitats the sun is actually darkened as they fly up at sunrise or eight lines of super Pacific rollers breaking in thunderous surf, a rampart of high sand mountains just back of the beach—and in two or three hours appear the familiar walls and dun-colored remains of Inca occupation. The name of the creator god, as applied to sanctuary, town and river, came into use only about 170 years before the Spanish coquest. No older name has yet been found. Burial places always bring rich returns to those who can interpret their annals. Here is an enormous number of graves, not less than 60,000,000 and more than a few stall-like cells, much crude and careless. Graves are found in the open, in houses, in temples, most of which have, years ago, been rified for the gold, silver and gems supposed to be interred with the dead. Previous to the Inca conquest probably at least two civilizations met a Pachacama—the culture of the highlands and the newer customs of the coast. After a cemetery had been used for a long time the temple was destroyed; even the sort of civilization itself was changed. A third time the cultural decline, inferior but supplanting, despite the general advance of the world at large. The founding and growth of the Inca empire was one of the last great events of pre-Spanish centuries. For Pachacacam has been the scene of several superimposed civilizations, whereby its study is rendered more confusing than that of other ancient shrines. The many graves and their contents were seemingly at variance—some with the pottery and implements found near by, but it is certain that pre-Inca Indians had here their chief temple, and that when these all-conquering nobles with their hordes of willing workers arrived triumphantly upon the scene, so far from trying to wipe out the old faith they treated it with much respect, perhaps from prudential motives, building their great temple to the sun on, and thus permitting, even encouraging, continued worship by the creator god, Pachacacam, so that the temple's religious prestige did not suffer under the Incas. Although Pachacacanac graves were so rich in articles from which the story of the past can be read, larger outlines of life and custom may be traced in the ruins of town and temples. Approaching from the north one sees the convenient front entrance, the name Mamacana ("mothers," as applied to the object of especial study by Doctor Uble. In the land of the Incas cellate women were not uncommon, and were generally attached to some temple of the sun. The mamacana was secluded on three sides, the front only facing plain and sees, with entrance openings. No fewer than 200 were buried in the temple, and were obliged to pass through the inner and outer vicinity of Pachacacanac to reach the sun temple. The Sun temple seems to have been built to include this earlier sanctuary, which shows an amicable relationship between the older cult and that worship of the sun which the Incas ultimately imposed on conquered tribes. The temple of the dwellers chose for their rites. Although desert bounded on north and east, the temples themselves set in sand by whose encroaching drifts they are now half covered, toward the west rolls the blue Pacific, and southward lies the green and fertile Valley of Lurin, watered by its river of the same name, off whose mouth rise rugged islands, the wings of paradise sea birds flashing in the sunshine as they dip and circle and soar about the lofty cliffs. From the convent it is best to pass on to the former, a huge structure 400 feet long, 180 wide and covering two-thirds of an acre. Once there were terraces on three sides, each 20 feet high, but the sand has so blown in and over and about them that they are really discernible now upon only one. Its approaches are by five low and slightly over three feet high and six in length; it is polychrome frescoes, rich in color and extremely ancient, though traces of design still remain. Only 2½ miles wide at the coast, the little Lurin valley narrowly rapidly toward the interior. A mile and a half distant lies the village, on the same side of the river as the ruins. Only 500 inhabitants now belong here, but perhaps 2,000 can be counted in the whole parish. Modern Pacchacamac holds about 380, its parish 3,000. Trees of many kinds abound—the willow (Salix) always prominent, with cane (canillo) and trees bearing the chirimba, palta, lucuma and other The top of the temple is a large plateau, 330 feet by 130. It was at least once rebuilt before the Inca period, and may date from about B. C. 2,000; but it is not, in any event, later than B. C. 1,100. The valley, and indeed the entire region, was ruled by a chief at Pachacamac, who had the right to enter the temple of the highest deity, as, --- --- VOL. 27. NO. 12. C THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS. MINN.. SATURDAY. MARCH 25, 1911. RUINS OF PRE-INCA STRUCTURES AT PACHACAMA at a later epoch, the inca might do at Cuzco. At the center of the northwest front the holiest shrine was placed. We can follow shapes and sizes in hall and gallery, the walls of the large hall in ruins, but still showing that they were 11 feet high. The old "bishop" probably stood here to receive the envoys of chiefs, after they had waited on probation for an entire year to come into his presence. A fast of 20 days was required before entering the first court, and of a twelve-month for the court, less little nourishment as possible was taken during this time, and an abstinent life in all particulars was enjoined. The ecclesiastical dignity received the envoys with covered head, praying, after hearing the messages. Pizarro disdainfully called it "having speech with the devil," when the old man retired to an adjoining cell. Located it, this has arrived at some interesting and surprising conclusions as to the inaccessibility and extraordinary sanctity of this temple. As the shrine was completely demolished by Hernando Pizarro, brother of Francisco, so the entire temple seems to have been peculiarly the object of early fanatism no less than of treasure hunters, which despite the rainless climate made of it a more complete ruin even than others in Peru. Smaller than the later sun temple but more gorgeous. Not only painted with designs in many tints, it was also quite certainly, incrusted with precious stones and gold presented by the Ica Hivai Qhapat. Of the ancient city at least one-quarter was occupied by the temple district and the remainder was divided by cross streets, 13 and 16 feet wide, with courts and buildings of palatial_proportions. In the city are four hills, the walls encircling it all completely. On the northwest these barriers were from 11 to 13 feet high and in general 8 feet broad, although this was in places increased to 16 feet, crowd was made wide and adobe houses and walls, which were used constantly by pedestrians, are worn perfectly smooth on certain thoroughfares by the constant passing of multitudes. Outside the city walls is widestreading desert, one will (distant only half a mile), not less than 20 feet wide and 475 yards long, still curving around the despoiled riches it once protected. Of all this great ruined area the sun temple itself is most conspicuous, rising 300 feet above the general level, on a series of terraces; four on the northeast and northwest, five on the southeast. The modern history of this most interesting region begins with the journey of Hernando Pizarro, ordered by his more famous brother in 1533 to capture the temple treasures of Pacachamac. Pizarro had heard of his splendors at Cajamarca, when the Inca Atahualpa had told him that "ten days away on the road to Cuzco" was a "mosque," chief sanctuary of a whole people, and held in highest reverence by himself and his father, Hualna Capac; and that it contained vast treasure in gold and silver offerings. But Hernando Pizarro traveled only about 16 miles a day, taking 22 days to cover the 340 miles; whereas the swift man ummers bore messages of warning in far less time than the 190 miles to Tacna, 190 miles, in three days), and much of the golden treasure was removed or concealed before his arrival. Enough remained, however, for colossal riches. His conquest was complete on reaching the sanctuary. He at once demolished the shrine of the temple of Pachacamac, and its most sacred idol, in presence of the whole people assembled, raising a cross upon the debris. Thus began the decline of what was once so splendid and so vital a part of the early life. After taking Cuzco Francisco Pizarro came in 1534 to Pachacamac, holding wild orgies in the sacred courts and still further horrifying a people already crushed and outraged. The final struggle came, however, and the depopulation of the entire valley began, in the wars of Manco-Inca, who in 1535 gathered all the Indians in a futile death struggle with Spain. After a samba dance in and over the old faith, actually and metaphorically, Franciscanis, Angustinans, Jesuitas, succeeded to the valley, and its distinctive history was past. But the keenness of archaeological vision has made the old days live again, has vitalized the ancient faith and brought before modern eyes the actual daily life and worship of these prehistoric tribes, whose whitened skulls still cluster about their violated shrine.

It is now used as a place of confinement for unruly monks. No women are allowed to enter it, but a tower in the vicinity is allotted for their use as lady tourists often visit Mar Saba. ALEXANDRA'S BIRTHDAY CAKE STRANGE WEDDING CEREMONY Her love undiminished by the fact that her betrothed in now legless, Anna Reilly, a pretty brunette, wheeled Robert Meyers into the office of Alderman McInerney, at Pittsburg, a few days ago and blushingly whispered: "Alderman, we want to get married." Calling into his office some workmen from the street, the alderman went through the ceremony with the clay-covered workmen as witnesses and attendants. Then the girl wheeled her husband back to their little home. Meyers was a railroad brakeman and lost both legs in an accident last February. He had known his wife for two years, but they were not engaged until after the accident. CLOCK WAS MADE IN 1790 An interesting specimen of a long clock, made in 1790, is owned by a gentleman at Lutterworth. It has an oval face, a hand which points to the days of the week, completing the round in seven days; one which shows the true dead beat, and another which points to the chimes and quarters. On the upper part of the clock is a small orchestra, which includes a flute, a cello and two violins, and a DIAGNOSED CASE IN DREAM A romance that dips into the realm of mysticism lies behind the marriage of Miss Elsie Turner to Dr. Lawrence F. Keith at Boston. Miss Turner was stricken ill with a mysterious aliment. Specialists treated her with no favorable results. She was finally taken to the home of Doctor Keith. He was baffled till one day Miss Turner calmly Cold him what the trouble was and prescribed the treatment. "Why, where in the world did you learn that?" Doctor Keith asked in amazement. "Doctor—told me in a dream." The young woman named an old friend of the family long since dead. Doctor Keith followed out the dream diagnosis. She is now well. A PATRIARCHAL PEAFOWL The oldest peafowl in the world is believed to be that owned by Thomas Lambert, a farmer of Sulphur Well, Metcalf county. The bird apparently is just as active as ever. He has roosted in trees 110 years. In 1810 Horatio Thompson came to Kentucky from Virginia, bringing with him this peafowl. This bird was then between 10 and 15 years old. When Mr. Thompson died this gay knight of fowldom passed to Thomas Lambert. For 75 years the peafowl roosted on the same limb of a large oak tree until the tree was cut down. This bird is known all over southern Kentucky, and Peafowl school in Metcalf county, was named in his honor. MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY.

Two women, known as the sisters Rosa and Josepha Blazek, who are in many respects similar to the Siamese twins, being joined together from the waist downward, stepped out on the platinum floor, without difficulty, and walked to the bed. However, there was a difficulty, for the twins presented only one ticket. After a long conference between the collector, a policeman, and the friends of the joint couple, they were allowed to pass the barrier. It is to be supposed that the puzzle was too great for ordinary people to solve. SEVENTEEN YEARS OVERDUE A lady in business in Lorient, France, received a letter the other day, which was sent to her from Concareau, postponing an engagement. The receiver of the letter could make nothing of it. Then she looked at the date both on the letter and the envelope. She found it was September 7, 1893. On the back of the envelope was an official note in red ink to the note that it had been found in making the post office at Concareau, last November in eighteen years the letter had lain in the post office and after it was found it had taken nearly three months to reach its destination. WOMAN'S QUEER MASQUERADE The story of a woman's strange life comes from Chelsea, Eng., where an inmate of the workhouse has confessed to having lived fifty years as a man without being discovered. She is now seventy-five years old, and tells of this with a lively exultation in the adventure. She assumed the guise of a man because she thought that with it she could earn her living more easily. She was married at the age of sixteen, after being well educated, and immediately left her husband, disliking his treatment of her. She worked as a painter and decorator.

TAFT AND THE AFRO-AMERICAN. The appointment of William H. Lewis, of Massachusetts, as Assistant Attorney General of the United States, marks a new era in race progress. It is a positive advance over anything in the line of political appointments ever made by a Republican President. In his inaugural address President Taft said: "The Negroes are now Americans. Their ancestors came here years ago against their will, and this is their only country and their only flag." "Any recognition of distinguished Negroes, any appointment to office from among their number, is properly taken as an encouragement and an appreciation of their progress, and this just policy shall be pursued." President Taft has appointed other Afro-Americans to good places in the Government service, but the importance of the Lewis appointment lies in the fact that it is a higher place than has ever before been given to one of the race. As Assistant Attorney General it will be necessary to assign Mr. Lewis to some of the most important legal work of the Government and it is Chiffre DR. BOOKER T.

The vicious, malicious, prejudice-prompted assault which was made upon Dr. Booker T. Washington in New York last Sunday night, is very much deplored throughout the world, and the noted educator has received thousands of communication of all the various methods used for the purpose expressing sympathy. But there is one that stands out head and shoulders above the rest, viz. the autograph letter from the President of the United States, William Howard Taft. One would almost be willing to suffer the pain, chagrin and humiliation that was the lot of Dr. Washington, to receive such a strong, manly, humane, friendly letter from the President of the United States. The letter was as follows: "The White House. "My dear Dr. Washington: I am greatly distressed at your misfortune and I hasten to write you of my sympathy, my hope that you will soon recover from the wounds inflicted by insane suspicion or viciousness, and in my confidence in you, in your integrity and morality of character and in your highest usefulness to your race and to all the people of this country.

An Assistant Attorney General outranks many high officials and the Afro-American people are pleased to know that they have a representative of the race so near in rank to a Cabinet officer. The Afro-Americans of the country naturally feel very grateful to President Taft for this appointment. REGISTER NAPIER: President Taft made an excellent appointment when he named Hon. J. C. Napier, of Tennessee, as register of the United States Treasury. Mr. Napier is a life-long Republican. He has held many responsible political places in his native state, and now, as fitting climax to his career as a broad-minded, honest, courageous citizen, is given a high honor. In this instance it is a case of the office seeking the man. President Taft has offered a number of important places to Mr. Napier, but he has always declined, and in accepting the Registship he has taken it wholly for the honor, for he must really sacrifice great business interests in order to give his services to the government. He was president of a bank in his home city, and it was necessary to resign before he could become Register. Mr. Napier is a man of wealth. In addition to his dollars he has a price-less jewel in the person of Mrs. Napier, a daughter of the late Hon. John Mercer Langston.

CHRISTIANIZING THE CHINESE. The Caucasian Christians of Washington are at it again. Accustomed to vent the race hatred on Afro-Americans, it is not strange that they "broke out" when a yellow man crossed the color line. Mr. Chen T. Wang is a Chinaman. He is a graduate of Yale and has been prominent in the Y. M. C. A. work in this country and abroad. For more than a year he was in charge of the student Y. M. C. A work among Chinamen in the United States, and was at one time in charge of the work among Chinamen in Japan. Recently he was appointed international secretary for China, and was housed in the dormitory of the Y. M. C. A. When his presence became known the occupants of rooms on the same floor with that of Wang immediately made protest against the introduction of men of other races into the building. Of course that was not a Christian spirit, but the spirit of American Christianity is usually at variance with the spirit of Christ. The managers of the Y. M. C. A., fearing that news of the insult would be injurious to the work in China, hushed the matter up. It is of course understood that the conversion of Chinese to Christianity means dollars to American merchants. They are not working for the Chinamen's souls, but rather for the benefit of American pockets. American merchants con- ```markdown ``` "The White House tribute millions to convert people of other races and get back two dollars for every dollar contributed. That's all there is to it. Vang is evidently a man of little spirit. If he were properly constituted he'd repudiate the false Christianity they have taught him in this country and return to Confucianism. He'd refuse to be a party to the race-hate-propaganda of American Christianity. Recently there was a meeting of Salvation Army workers of the country at Washington, D.C., and work among Afro-Americans was suggested. A storm of protest went up from the officers from the South when a Northern delegate proposed that white officers be required to conduct meetings among Afro-Americans. They virtually declared they would not assume such duties, with the result that the committee appointed to draft a plan for the new work was discharged before it had time to commence work and the conference adjourned without further allusion to the proposed work. Commander Booth said: "It would probably be just as well to segregate the races. The Negroes are badly in need of such help as we can give them, and I am confident we shall accomplish a great deal for their general welfare." The Commander is in error. The Afro-Americans do not need any more jim crow salvation. They have had enough of it. They would like a little real Christianity. There is practically none in the American Church, and now that the Salvation Army, which was organized to work among the scum of the earth, purposes to draw the color-line, it would seem that Caucasian Christianity is indeed a farce. CAPITAL CAUCASIAN CHRISTIANITY. The Washington Herald, in a recent issue, has a long-winded editorial on the goodness of the people of the Capital City and among other things says that the lives of the residents are in keeping with the highest tenets of Christianity. This may be true in some respects, but when the color-line is reached the Caucasians of Washington do not follow the tenets of the meek and lowly Nazarene. In no city in the United States is there more bitter race hatred, and there is less reason, for it than in many other places. While there are many bad Afro-Americans, the percentage of intelligence, refinement and wealth is large, but this seems to infuriate the alleged Caucasian Christians and cause them to hate their Afro-American brethren the more bitter. The Caucasian hypocrisy has been strikingly shown on several occasions within the past year. In one fashionable street, there is a block containing many fine residences. Among them, however, are a few shacks occupied by low-grade Afro-Americans, but the aristocratic whites and lowly blacks have lived in harmony for many years. Last year a wealthy Afro-American, with an income of about $5,000 per annum, purchased one of the fine houses and moved into it. The gentleman is a man of the highest character, his wife is a lady of refinement, a graduate of one of the leading American universities and also a graduate of a famous German conservatory of music, in fact the entire family is infinitely superior in every respect to any white family in the block, but the Caucasian Christians became indignant at what they called a "Negro invasion," and began to move away one by one and now they have all gone, many who owned their own home having sacrificed them to get away from Afro-American Christians. And by the way, it was a committee of Washington Christians which decreed that no Afro-Americans should be permitted to take part in the Sunday school parade in that city last year. Few Caucasian Christians live up to the highest tenets of Christianity when the color-line is reached. The State Department will not countenance the exclusion of Afro-American immigrants from Canada. In response to inquiries it is learned that there was no Canadian law or regulation excluding members of the race not in prohibited classes and each the possessor of $25 cash and transportation. So Afro-Americans who are oppressed in the South may find homes in the great Canadian Northwest, if they have the money. Champton Jack Johnson is again in the lime light. This time it is not for speeding or slugging anyone, but for going on a bust and refusing to settle. It seems that Johnson ordered a bust to be made by Cartaine Sciarrino, a sculptor of New York, for which he was to pay $4,000. Johnson failed to make good for some reason or other and the sculptor has sued for the amount. Another delegation of Indians, this time from the Shoshone reservation of Northern Nevada, has arrived in Washington City to protest against the representations of the red men in the moving picture theatres.

Augusta, Me.—Ancient Pentagoet, better known as Castine, situated on the eastern side of Penobscot bay and river, is one of the most prominent historic spots in Malne today. It has preserved the well-marked traces of the works of the past and no small settlement has within its borders so many earthworks and old forts. Foremost among the earthworks is Fort George, situated on the high land in the center of the peninsula. It was built by the British in June, 1779, and was named Fort George in honor of his majesty, George III. The fort is tetragonal in form with a bastion at each of the four angles. The bastion where was located the magazine was fully occupied by it, the entrances being made of arch passages of brick, which may be seen today, covered with mortar, and over them a layer of logs with a heavy covering of earth. According to tradition and history, it was from these same barracks that Gen. Pelae Wadsworth escaped when held a prisoner in 1780, after being captured by the English at his home in Thomaston and taken to Castine, where he was confined for a long time. Following the departure of the British from Castine in 1815 the Americans took possession of the fort and the government had it repaired, strengthened and garrisoned, new barracks taking the place of those used by the British. The interior of the fort has long been used by the boys as a ball ground. The foundations of the old barracks are still visible. History says that it was in this old fort that the gibbet was erected on both Ball and Elliott were hanged. Both names were well known in the early period of Maine. The palisades, the barracks, the munitions of war and its buildings have all Old Magazine, Fort George. disappeared, but otherwise the old fort remains practically the same as when the British left it. In early February of 1780, while the country was in a session of quietude following the conflicts of the preceding fall, General Campbell, then in charge of the garrison at Fort George, learning that his hated American foe, Gen. Peleg Wadsworth, was at his home on the St. George river in Thomaston, determined to make him a prisoner. The British general hearing that his only guard was six soldiers, he detailed Lleutenant Stockton with a force of twenty-five men to make the capture. A sharp sanguinary fight took place, in which several of the British soldiers were killed and wounded. The news of the capture preceded the detachment on their return to Castine. The story is here told that General Campbell sent his compliments to General Wadsworth and a surgeon to dress his wounds, assuring him that his situation would be made comfortable. He was furnished with books and allowed to receive visitors. He dined with the commandant and met all the principal officers of the garrison. It was not long before General Wadsworth made application for a flag of truce, by which means he could transmit a letter to the governor of Massachusetts and another to Mrs. Wadsworth. This was granted on the condition that the letter to the governor should be inspected. General Wadsworth's escape followed soon after. In company with Major Benjamin Burton he bribed their water carrier and from him received a glimlet. They bored holes in the boards of the side of their barracks, covering the holes with chewed bread. One stormy night they cut their way out with a knife and escaped. For miles they were forced to go through the then wilderness, crossing the river to Stockton, thence south through Belfast, Northport and Rockland to Thomaston. The fort was finally vacated in 1815. HERMIT SET HIS. FRACTURE Spokane, Wash.—Refusing with some display of anger all attentions proffered by sympathetic neighbors, B. Gray, an aged hermit, set his own leg, broken when a cellar which he was digging caved in on him. The injured limb now rests in an improvised splint made of rough boards whitted and shaved by Gray. Gray has resided in this lonely abode for the last year. Little is known of him. Occasionally he is seen wandering in vacant lots in search of fuel. He does odd jobs and is reputed to have a considerable sum of money. Eight-Inch Hen's Eng Hardwick, Mass.—A hen owned by Mrs. Benjamin Manley has laid an egg eight inches in circumference.

Let us help you to save money. Tampa, Florida, has more cigar factories than any other city in the United States, and we have become alive in the fact that Afro-Americans in various cities have enough cigars of all grades to keep hundreds of cigar makers at work daily, so we organized in 1906, what is known as the WILLIAMS CIGAR COMPANY, and we have been successful in the largest Afro-American cigar factory. The members of our race must not only be consumers, but producers. We are at present employing from 15 to 20 members of our race in our factory, and we are desirous of appointing agents in all parts of the country. Our employees are paid $15 daily. Will you help maintain an institution which may become a great nucleus of good. We have a department in which we are teaching scores of boys and girls to be efficient cigar makers. Some of our graduates are earning from $10 to $20 per hour in larger factories. Will you help us in the great work of employing our youths? Our prices range from $2.30 per hundred to $6.00 per hundred. We can save you from one cent up on every cigar you buy from our factory. The extra amount you are paying our competitors for cigars enables them to employ hundreds of their boys and girls and to build for a portion of your patronage. We are trying to solve this great problem along the lines of selfhelp. Give us a trial order. Send for our famous R. L. W. Cigars at $7.70 per hundred. Williams Cigar Company, J. Andrew Williams, Mngr, 1109-1119 Scott Street, Mention this paper when whe "THE WHITE CAPTIVE." Which Will be Seen at the Grand Next Week The greatest melodramatic success of the century comes to the Grand next week commencing Sunday matinee Mar. 26, and its visit to this city promises to be one long remembered. NoOLUMA of excitement stirred up the enthusiasm like "The White Captive," and the reason for this is that the piece has made use of the latest and greatest achievements of man and science. An air of excitement, NoOLUMA of excitement carrying two passengers is exhibited in full view of the audience in one of the greatest climaxes ever wrought on the stage. Another incident which illustrates the greatest scientific achievement of a wireless introduction of a wireless apparatus serves its purpose by saving an entire community from murderous Indians in the nick of time. This melodramma should not be missed by those who like heart-stirring entertainments and players headed by Miss Clara Joel will present the play. You can get just as good "French Dry Cleaning" as good "French Dry Cleaning" in 15th street as anywhere in the city. Why not let them do it for you? MENTAL POWER NOT GROWING Anglo-Saxon Success Result of Character, Rather Than Intellectual Superiority. Man is no longer growing in mental capacity if the conclusions of a British authority, Neville Chamberlain, are correct. He makes a distinction between intellect, pure and simple, and the qualities that together make up what is called character and finds it doubtful if the races often regarded as inferior are at any disadvantage in pure intellect. It is unfair to decide mental capacity by comparing those who have had the benefits of education—giving the accumulated experience of centuries—with semisavages who have been brought up in the bush. Two generations ago the Japanese were thought to be little betater than barbarous, of small intellect, and the Jamus of Bengal and the aborigines of Australia were similarly regarded, but now they take front rank in modern universities, often excelling Europeans at examinations. More important to manage success than great intellectual ability are the qualities constituting character—such as courage, earnestness, character, judgment, and sympathy. Even these traits must be preserved and strengthened by the same process of natural selection that has so powerfully influenced physical evolution, and the character of the individuals has made the character of nations. Anglo-Saxon success, past and future, may be looked upon as a result of national character, rather than any fancied intellectual superiority. Need Medical Missionaries At a recent meeting at Boston of the Woman's Foreign Missionary society of the Methodist church Miss Mabel Lossing, who reported for the districts of India, said that there were 12,000,000 people in her jurisdiction and so far removed are the missionaries that it often takes eight days to get from one station to another. She said that medical work is necessary in her district, but that there is no of it. She said that her veranda is crowded every morning with women praising an opportunity to the treasury. Mary Ketring, one of the missionaries of West China, said that the work of her society was to carry the Gospel to 20,000,000 women and chill them. Their Decision.

THE APEALH had a call this week from a railroad man who had a petition addressed to Mr. R. Dean, Genl. Manager of the Pullman Company at Chicago, asking that an advance be made in the salaries now paid to the petitioner for the month, and after two year's in service to $60.00 per month. He also had the draft of a letter addressed to Mr. F. R. Neat of St. Paul and Mr. J. C. Patterson of Chicago, the superintendent, to accompany the petition. The petition bore the signatures of 41 of the those in St. Paul, although the petition had been brought to the attention of many. St. Paul has the name of being progressive and up-to-date, but this does not look much like it, as the petition seems eminently timely and proper. There is very little that is good that we get in this world, or in the world to come, without asking for it; and, if the raise in salaries is desired by the St. Paul porters they must have been placed in the petition has been placed at the Commercial barber shop of Fifth Street and all porters who desire to sign it may do so there. Now, men get busy! Dr. H. I. Williams, our dentist, has moved his office from the Philipshon building to Room 64 Medical Block, corner of Seventh and Robert streets, over Maner's Drug Store, where he is seen to see all old as well as new patrons. "FOLLIES CF THE DAY." The Attraction at the Star Next Week Barney Gerard's "Folies of the Day," the musical hurrah which enjoys the reputation of being the most successful modern burlesque show on the road, will play at the Star Theatre and the production is carried this season. Never has there been a better selected beauty chorus than that seen with "The Folies." Never has a better group of ponies been shown, and talk has written for this production jingle after jingle, and there is a song a minute. When the first song is sung, you say it is beautiful; the second one beats first, the third beats the second until you reach that you would like to buy all the songs sung during the show. The book and lyrics were written by Barney Gerard, the author, producer and director, and there are laughs at the rate of one every second. A clever cast of sixty-five people headed by Gertrude Hayes is kept going at a breakneck speed for two hours and a half. The general producer staged the dances of the new "Folies." Letters of administration on the estate of Wilhelmine Reyder, deceased, late of the County of Ramsey and State of Minnesota, being granted to Robert Heder. It is ordered, that six months be and the same is hereby allowed from and after the date of this order, in which all persons having claims or demands against the said decease are required to file the same in the Probate Court of said County, for examination and allowance, or be forever barred.

SUITS PRESSED VALET TAILORING CO 156 E. 8IXTH ST Nowadays we use penknives principally for sharpening pencils. There was a time, however, when they were used, primarily, for doing something else. They used to be just that their name would indicate. The "pen-knives." A pen-knife used to be just what its name, would indicate —a "pen-knife." The ancients used pens made of goose quills, just as our own forefathers did up to about a hundred years ago. The quill pen was made by hand, of course, and whenever the point of one would break or lose its elasticity it was up to the penman to put a new point or "nib" on the quill. This was done with a small knife, and hence we have the word that has outlived the quill pen a hundred years—"pen-knife." In the olden times the pen-knife was a necessary accessory of the writing desk. When the clasp-knife came in, the smaller sizes took their name from the little desk knife, while the bigger ones were called "jack-knives"—"jack" signifying anything masculine or big and strong.
