NERE CO SPIRIT R STRONG ED HERE SPIRIT TRON WHERE COLLEGE SPIRIT RULES STRONG BY EDWARD B.CLARK HEN William H. Taft was a candidate for the Republican nomination for president some newspaper paragrapher said that doubtless every delegate to the convention who claimed Yale as his alma mater would vote for the nomination of Mr. Taft, no matter what his instructions were from the people who made him a delegate. Of course this paragraph was jocose, but Yale men seem to be particularly loyal to the president of the university, and it is a curious thing to note that the loyalty of the men of all colleges to graduates of their institutions is marked in Washington. Every official of high position seems to have the enthusiastic support of the graduates of the school which sent him out into the world with a sheepskin under his arm, and party politics seem to cut no figure at all in the matter. it is a curious thing to note that men of all colleges to graduates is marked in Washington, high position seems to have the port of the graduates of the him out into the world with a sarm, and party politics seem to all in the matter.

It may be, however, that Mr. Taft, if he runs again, will get the vote at the polls—conventions' vote not considered—of every man who was a member of his class at the New Washington—and some of the president's classmates live here—that he was as popular with his classmates as any man whom they claimed as their own, perhaps more popular, but the Yale men don't care to make comparisons that might seem inviolous. The Yale men who were at school with the president and who came to Washington to visit, always make straight for the White House. This means something more than that Mr. Taft holding a holder of a big public office. If a person wants to learn how popularity at school or unpopularity at school lasts through life let him make a study, if he can find the opportunity, of the standing today of some men in the army and navy. There are in one or the other of the twin services today men who have splendid records as officers, and yet who would like to wear great pages from their efficient records if they could write the word "popular" in the seem inviolous.

Naming no names and giving no specific case with date and circumstances it may be said that in one of the greatest controversies which ever vexed the service one man won out with the officer, he did not win out with his fellow officers, he did not win out with them simply because they threw in the thing he was charged with doing was in his presence with one act he committed as a boy, an act that lost him standing with his fellow students. At West Point and Annapolis they have a habit of "cutting" the boy who bears tales, or who shows a streak of timidity that is called by a harsher word, or who does some other thing that boys in their boyish humor do not like. When a man graduates and gets into the service he is no longer "cut," but his society is not sought, and as a result perhaps of a mere momentary weakness, or a mere momentary thoughtlessness, a whole career from the social point of view may be blasted. There are some cases in the army and navy today, and a pretty fair measure by which to judge of a man's personality is the measure of regard in which he is held in later life by the men who went to school with him in the day of the boy. William W. Russell not long ago was this government's envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary to Venezuela. He was in the South American country at the time of the strained relations which existed for a while between Uncle Sam and President Castro. William W. Russell is popular in the navy and his popularity dates back to his school days. He is a grave diplomat with a light in his eye that neither gravity nor position can put out. But he was not always a grave one burdened with the affairs of state. Once upon a time he was "Pete" Russell, midshipman at the United States naval academy, who was charged in the court the minute that he reported at Annapolis, but truth compels the statement that neither the official archives nor the middles' archives disclose the reason for turning William into "Pete." Suffice is to know that the middles would have it that way, and that way it went. Some time ago I had dinner with a graduate of Annapolis who had known William W. Russell in his "Pete" days at the academy. Midshipman Russell did not graduate, but he was long enough at the academy to leave his mark upon the institution and to make his memory dwell lovingly in the hearts of succeeding generations of midshipmen. The graduate told of Pete's school days may account in some measure for the fact that he became a diplomat instead of becoming a salt. Midshipman Russell had a way with him, and the midships and the authorities were not long in finding it out. Pete had difficulty in restraining himself on occasions, as witness: One Sunday at Annapolis the chaplain preached long and droningly. The listening midships were tired out with the heat of the day and the burden of the duties. The sermon over the choir in the church, undeterred and undismayed by the length of the chaplain's discourse, started in to sing "Sun of My Soul." He went through the first line untrippingly and then struck into the second. "It is not night." he sang. Then he repeated. "It is not W WAS PROMPTLY POKED IN THE EYE BY THE BONY HAND OF PETES SKELETON COLLEGE OF RULES BY EDWARD B. CLARK PRESS TAFT W.W.RUS.SELL night," and repeated it again after the manner of solists who don't know when the listeners have had enough and having a good hold are loath to let go. The sermon and the song got on Pete Russell's nerves. He sat in the middle seat of a pew in the very middle of the corps of midshipmen with officers at the front, at both flanks and at the back, up, whistled melodiously, but very loudly the tune accompanying the third and fourth lines of the first stanza of "Sun of My Soul," and then before the bewildered and shocked officers could put in an interference, he calmly commanded the solist to "get a move on him." They grabbed Pete out from his middle pew seat and marched him down the alley under guard. When the corps was dismissed and was marching back to the barracks Pete was going in the opposite direction headed for the prison ship, Santee, with his books and his blanket swung away. As he passed the marching middles and the officers in command he was heard loudly sollozizing, with his head well down in counterfeit objectness: "Poor Pete, poor Pete, breakers right under poor Pete's bow." Once upon a time Pete set to work during his idle hours and constructed a skeleton more fearfully and wonderfully made than any man. Pete knew the peculiarities of a certain inspecting officer whose habit it was on entering a midshipman's room to see if all was well and orderly, to look behind it for traces of sweeping jerk and to look behind it for traces of sweeping jerk and to look common habit with midshipmen to sweep things behind the door in the hope that they would pass unnoticed. Pete finished his skeleton and by the exercise of nothing less than devilish ingenuity he succeeded in so adjusting it that when the door was given a sharp, quick jerk, the thing would drive its fist straight into the eye of the man who did the jerking. It wasn't intentional on Pete's part, for he simply forgot, but he went to recitation one morning, the morning that the skeleton had been put up, and left his roommate, who didn't know that the skeleton behind the door was in existence, to suffer any consequence which might come. The inspecting officer came and gave the door a jerk and was promptly poked in the eye by the now hand of Pete's skeleton. The officer said that Pete's roommate, all innocent that he was, to the Santee, where he was locked up. In three hours the roommate On one occasion a heavy sea was shipped and portions of the mule boxes washed away. The captain of the vessel slowed the vessel down for three hours while the whole crew erected other boxes. On the whole voyage there was not a casualty, and, considering the time the mules had been on the journey, they looked well and fit. This is the second shipment that Brice Bros. have brought. According to a local dealer, the mules just imported are worth $100 ($486.65) to $120 ($583.98) a pair in Cape Town. "If we could breed mules like those in this country," said a South African authority, "our fortunes would be made." The buyer stated that mules were very dear in Missouri, $40 ($194.66) each being considered an average price, and while in Missouri he saw one pair which realized $3,000. Last year Mr. Fairie did not enter his famous three-year-old, Lemberg, for the Newmarket Biennial, says London Answers. It is an odd fact that no winner of the Biennial has ever been successful in winning the Derby, and consequently a superstition has grown up that the race is an unlucky one for Derby aspirants. Whether Mr. Fairie was influenced by this superstition or not it is impossible to say, but at any rate Lemberg was not entered. Trainers, taking them all round, are a practical, hard-headed lot, with a few superstitions; but jockeys as well as the racing public at large, have a large share of superstitions beliefs. Most jockeys have their favorite courses. Fred THE APPEAL. Superstitious Racing Man heard some shunning steps outside his prison door. "Looking out he saw Pete with his books and his blankets coming to share his durance. "What's the matter, Pete?" he asked. "Nothing," said Pete; "only I forgot to take that d——d skeleton down." When William W. Russell first went to Venezuela in a subordinate diplomatic capacity, an American naval officer who knew him well, who liked him, and who had memories of the diplomat's pranks the conceived that he should have a proper reception, but it is needless to say that he didn't take Pete into his confidence. When Russell, newly accredited to the "court" of President Castro, drove from his hotel to the presidential palace in an open carriage and wearing a black frock and high hat of diplomacy, he was greeted in the middle of every block and at every street corner with vociferous cheerings from all the street gamins that Caracas possessed. The mighty cry that went up almost constantly from hotel to palace was: The mighty cry that went up almost constantly from hotel to palace was: "Viva Pete Russell." It is said that William W. Russell's memory was cherished at the naval academy. His name is held in remembrance, so security in remembrance that no midshipman named Russell who has entered the academy in the early 30 years which have elapsed since our former Venezuelan minister severed his school connection has escaped the name "Pete." Missouri Mules for Africa By the steamship Welsh Prince, which arrived in Cape Town the first week of February, says the Daily Consul and Trade Report, there came a shipment of American mules which, by those competent, are知，j要 be the finest competet yet landed in South Africa. They were purchased by a well-known local farmer, who toured the state of Missouri to get them on behalf of Brice Bros. of Springs, who hold the contract for the supply of mules to the Johannesburg corporation. The shipment consists of 124 mules and all of which are four to seven years of age and stand 15 hands in height, this being the stipulation made by the corporation, who further stipulated that they must all be bred in the state of Missouri, which is in such high repute as a mule breeding country. A representative of the South African News had an opportunity of seeing the shipment, and he states that they are a magnificent lot and have stood the trip from America well. Seven days were required for their railway transportation to the American port, 30 days at sea, with three more days to Johannesburg.

For Two Years Town Will Be Completely Under Woman's Administration—Male Holders of High Offices Walk the Plank. Hunnewell, Kan.—Mrs. Ella Wilson, the newly-elected mayor of this city, for the first time since her election consented to explain her plans for cleaning up the municipal government, which in her pre-election speeches she declared to be "full of graft and Godlessness." Mrs. Wilson's first announcement was that she would appoint Mrs. Rosie O. Osborne, defeated candidate for police judge, to be superintendent of police, while Mrs. E. E. Hilten, who ran for town councilor and failed, will be appointed city clerk. While Mrs. Wilson did not specifically admit it, the declaration is made that it under a compromise plan male officers will be elected from the higher municipal offices entirely and that for two years, at least Hunnewell will be completely under a woman's administration. There is no doubt of the radical intentions of the women. Mrs. Wilson has declared that the "occasional" liquor traffic will at once be stopped and bootleggers will be sent to jail. Poolrooms must pay license and all grafting is to be abolished. Mrs. Wilson has jumped into worldwide fame in a day because she is the second woman mayor ever elected in the United States and the first woman ever given a chance to rule a city surrounded with women officials to do her blinding. The first woman mayor in this country was Mrs. S. M. Salter, who selected mayor of Argonia, 24 years ago. Here is the first public utterance of Mrs. Wilson since her election. In it she outlines her policies and aims and voices her determination to elm- MERCERWELL, KAS inate vice from the community in which she lives and is now ruler: "I know that if Hunnewell is ever cleaned up the women will have to do it. I have drawn the task of directing this house cleaning, and I shall do the work thoroughly. "I intend to appoint Mrs. Osbourne chief of police and Mrs. Hilten city clerk. Both are highly competent women, and I can depend on their cooperation. Other women will be given municipal employment. I am not at present prepared to name them. "I intend to put a stop to all discrimination in local taxation and to see that every one gets a square deal. I also intend to see that the innocent are protected and the guilty punished in so far as I may be able to bring that about. I think we can go very far. Here are a few of the striking statements made by Mrs. Wilson in her interview with the Chicago Evening American correspondent: "I wish the ladies' aid societies and the W. C. T. U. people would devote themselves to securing by their efforts better sanitary and moral conformation of devoting all their energies to professions which must be brought about by evolution rather than revolution. "I am going to install a curfew enforcement in this town so that all children shall be off the streets at eight o'clock. I do not believe the street is any place for either male or female children after that hour, and home training will not injure any of them. 3. The suburbs of this city are full of rank weeds and there is no concerted effort to beautify or clean up. I shall endeavor to install a town cleaning campaign, interesting the children as well as the adults. A town ought to be cleaned in the spring just the same as a house. 4. I shall oppose the voting of bonds for a proposed new city jail. The present jail building will be large enough for all needs under my administration. We can use the money for a more worthy purpose.

FIND STATUE OF HERCULES Piece of Sculpture Twenty-Two Centuries Old is Recovered in London. London.-Buried in a jungle of merchandise in a city warehouse for over fifteen years the famous marble statue, the "Guarnacci Hercules," reputed by competent experts to be twenty-two centuries old, has once more been resurrected and three ferred to Earl's Court, where it will constitute one of the numerous interesting attractions of the ancient art exhibition to be held there this summer. Attributed to Lystypus of Sycline, or one of his pupils, this An Old Statue of Hercules. ancient marble has had a remarkable history. It is supposed to have come into being in the fourth century B. C. With the fall of the Eternal City, it lay buried for centuries until during the pontificate of Clement XI, 1700-1721, it was resurrected between the slopes of the Aventine and Palatine hills. Sometimes in the early seventies it was purchased by an Italian art dealer in London and exhibited by him at his showroom in Regent street. The damage which Hercules struck through the fall of Rome was as no doubt that which it suffered during the reburial of Paris to London after the close of the exhibition of 1878, where it was shown. At the docks Hercules's right leg was found amputated and the massive right hand separated from its wrist. The cunning of the Grecian chisel is seen in every detail. SANITARY CUPS END PERIL Home-Made Cup by Which Pupils Can Drink Without Touching Germs. Chicago.—Children in a dozen schools have been taught how to construct a paper drinking cup which is in every way serviceable and which does away with danger of contagion through use of a common drinking utensil. The cup is constructed from a sheet of paper about eight inches square. A measure of folding provides a cup that may be collapsed or extended at will. The simple directions are as follows: Secure a sheet of paper about eight or ten inches square. A cup in the middle from corner A to corner B (Fig. 1 and 2). Next take the uppermost free corners, J and K, and fold down on each side to one-third Home-Made Paper Cup. of the distance between top and bottom (Fig. 3). Next take the free corner A and bring it almost to D, and fold the paper at C, E (Fig. 4). Then take up the free corner K and insert it into the exposed fold between A and B. Then take the free corner B and bring it almost to C, E (Fig. 4). Paper, tucking the free corner J into the exposed fold, D, B on that side (Fig. 5). Open the center, press in the bottom to give the structure rigidly, and fill with water. It can be used six or seven times at least, and some pupils have employed the same cup for this purpose. The tablet paper may be used, but it has been found that an oiled paper or a foolscap with glaze lays the longest. MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY.

First Plant for Handling Mail by Machinery Now in Operation in Pennsylvania. Terminals—Saving of Seconds Valuable. New York—The first complete mechanical system for loading mail matter into cars, providing for its handling entirely by automatic appliances from mail wagons to train, has just been installed in this city. The apparatus is part of the equipment of the new Pennsylvania terminal, through which passes 40 per cent of the mail matter leaving New York. The saving even of seconds is valuable, and from the time when the wagons from the postal mail deliver the pouches at the street level they enter the mail cars waiting on the level of the tunnel, 70 feet lower down, human labor is supplanted by nine rapid mechanical devices. There are three stages in the process of getting the sacks of mail from the street to the mail cars. Some time before the fast mail train to western points, consisting of perhaps half a dozen cars, is scheduled to leave the station, it is shunted to the mail track. Into these cars there shortly begin to drop automatically delivered cars, and the cars are discharged source. As the moment of departure approaches the pouches come in more rapid succession, until they are shooting into the cars in a constant stream. Rising slightly above the floor of the station at the point where the mail wagons make their deliveries are a number of huge hollow sheet-iron cylinders. Into these pouches are dumped, and slip down to a point just above the roofs of the waiting cars. The wagons from the postal mail line, since this might injure their contents, but they go down, on subur Automatic Conveyor Carrying Mail Bags to Trains. slides like great screws which the iron cylinders Inclose. When the bags reach the bottom of the cylinder the first stage of their handling is ended. From that point they drop on to one of a number of continually moving belt conveyors, which travel just above the cars of the waiting train. Each car of the train carries and each belt serves the trains set on a certain track. But as all the mail is not carried in one car, a third operation is necessary. Standing on the platform beside the train are a number of movable curved chutes just long enough to reach from the conveyor belts to the door of the mail car, and by means of an ingenious automatic arrangement each pouce carries a point above a car for which it is designed from the belt into the curved chute and lands on the floor of the car. COSTLY HATS THROWN AWAY Garbage Collector of Seattle, Wash., Dumps Valuable Headgear into City Refuse Dump. Seattle, Wash.—No Sengambian satrap will stalk the jungles of the Dark Continent with prowder grace than will mark the carriage of several dozen sons of Italy, engaged in the honorable occupation of transporting Seattle's garbage to the dump—that is, if the police department falls in efforts to recover $300 worth of Panama hats that Singerman & Sons, at second avenue and Seneca street, had planned to sell this spring. Because a box that he found in the rear of the Singerman store was light, a scavenger jumped to the conclusion that it contained only excelsior. He carted it away and cast it off at the Mercer street, on Lake Union. Mirc'r the odorous heap of refuse bounced the box full of expensive Panamas. The hats remained undisturbed for several days. Then a garbage man with a well-developed bump of curiosity directed his No. 9' against a side of the box, crashing it in and disclosing the headscarf to view. Immediately the men bore down into the mail box. Within less than a minute that were torn in the scramble. Not until every scavenger in possession of a Panama is behind the bark, say the detectives, will they rest ```markdown ``` a st Vo soe avtYouRero Se Tue Aprenl Ap meee | hs A ie ks \ BaoN\ aN RA aaa Be EN CReTANN, 44 ; ‘a sd fi a ae VEN mde Wars THE APPEAL ANational Afro-American Newspaper ADAMS BROS.

Who Urged Civic Beauty for Washington in Address Before American é Federation of Arts. The artistic development of Washington was strongly advocated by Franklin MacVeagh, Secretary of the Treasury, in an address made before the opening session of the second annual convention of the American Feder- ation of Arts in Washington. Congress, said Secretary MacVeagh, is a good friend of the National Capital and interested in its improvement. He suggested that the field of endeavor of art advocates interested in Washington should be along the line of educating Congress as to the most artistic methods. What the United States Treasury has done for art in America was referred to by Mr. MacVeagh. He said that the share of the Treasury in the art development of the nation in its designs for customs houses, federal courts, post offices and other public buildings is a permanent labor, and a tremendous influence. He promised his aid in the interest of the highest type of architecture for public structures as long as he has a voice in their construction. He urged that the members of the convention work in Con- Sress to get the money for creditable public buildings. He believed their influence could be made powerful. = e : HON. W. T.

The slums of Washington have never produced Negroes so de- graded as these “superior” whites, and yet these “badgers” got off with two years each, while a black man was sentenced to fifteen years for snatch- ing @ white woman’s pocketbook. AMERICA VS. INDIA. Dr. George A. Dorsey, who is travel- ing 1m India, writes: “America says all India is full of holy men, stammering gospels in strange tongues, shaken and con- sumed in the fires of their own zeal, dreamers, babblers, visionaries.” And India replies: “The west is chaos; mountebanks and methodists, criminals, gamblers and graduates, populists and poets; whites, blacks and red skins—Christians, Unitarian and atheists; shams and delusions: reckless of life, impatient, restless, worried, mad, and ‘everybody talking through his hat and nose.” A COUNTRY WITHOUT COLOR LINE. According to the Brazilian Year Book for 1910, the territory of Brazil is vaster than any other country ex cept China, the United States and Canada, It contains 3,291,416 square miles divided into 20 self-governing states, five of which have populations in excess of 1,000,000. The total po: pulation of Brazil is 20,000,000. “Although the population is divided among Europeans, Negroes and In: dians, there is no race problem nor race antagonism. The Year Book says: “Amalgamation will result in adaptation to conditions of soil and climate and will be lasting and will better fit the coming race for its en- vironment.” ‘That seems to be very sound reasoning. HAS THE RIGHT IDEA. F. 0. Stratton an Afro-American resident of Hillside, N. Y.; is the only KNOWN man of the race living in the village. He is a member of the board of health, secretary of the village im- provement society, registrar of vital statistics and village trustee. As there are no other Afro-Americans in Hillside it is evident that Stratton was elected to his many places of responsibility by his white fellow ‘ltizens ‘Mr. Stratton lives in a bungalow called Sunset, with wide verandas and pretty rooms and the parlor is full of books and art objects. | Mr. Stratton is levelheaded on one important subject—he is opposed to colonization of his race, “It {8 not wise for the Afro-Ameri- can to colonize, especially in the North,” he says. “The young men should be urged to take their families away from the cities and into the country. Each should go quietly into some small community, if possible where there are no other Afro-Ameri- ‘cans or only a few at least, and then, ey living @ clean, thrifty life and “ac- quiring property, working hard at some occupation that he js fitted to do, and win the respect of his white ‘nelehbors:. “The Afro-American is i tered by living among white people and neither he nor the white man is bettered by the establishment of Negro colonies. ‘The best interests of the Afro-American’ are advanced by the constant example,of the white people's thrift and manner of living, and not by the example“of other Negroes in large colonies, “It is not @ special mark of distine- tion that my neighbors, all white, have made me an officer of their village. But I would be less than human if I did not appreciate thelr kindness. I am glad, however, if the establishing of my little home shows in any way what a colored man may do. “I came to the country to live be- ‘cause I wanted to remove my children from the unfavorable conditions of crowded tenement life and the vicious idlers of my race. “I came here with the idea of not being a discord in the social and po- Iitical life of the new community, in- tending to be a good neighbor, doing all that a gooli citizen should to ad- vance the best interests of the com- munity, supporting always the best man for office, regardless of polities. That they have elected me to office is perhaps due’ to fhe fact that others have been too bysy:to do the work. ‘That I accepted was because I desired to be of service to my neighbors and repay them for the courtesy they have shown me. The improvement asocia- tion is composed of practically the whole body of taxpayers.” ‘The short sighted Afro-American, who insist upon segregating them- selves could do a great deal by getting a little information about the success of Mr. Stratton. THE APPEAL has always contended that the best way to settle the so-called race problem| is for one or two Afro-American’ families to settle in white communi ties. The benefits of a Negro colony are outweighed by its many disad- vantages. Gov. Cruce of Oklahoma boasts of the fact that he married an Indian woman. That is all right according to his-code, but his state has many “jim crow” laws which not only for- bid the marriage of whites and Afro- Americans but ordain that the Afro- Americans shall be denied ordinary civil rights. It would be better if the Governor could boast that his state was a firm: believer in the bro. therhood of man and the Golden Rule and put its precepts into practice. Dr. W. Ward Platt, of Philadelphia, is very anxious to convert the Asiatic people living on-the Pacific coast to Christianity. Judging by newspaper reports, it would seem that the Cau- casians themselves need to be convert: ed to true Christianity. ‘The Asiatics are behaving themselves, making mon- ey, educating .thelf children; and: ebn: ducting themselves with more propri- ety than the White heathen, who en- deavor to oppréss them, Prof. Jasques' Kaetlovich has come to America with! the special object of interesting Jews here in providing ed- ucational falashes| The falashes are the “Black Jews df Abyssinia,” an in- teresting people Who for more than two thousand years have practiced modified Judaic rites and ceremonies, basing their methods of worship and celebration on those in vogue in the time of the Kings of Israel. The so-called governments in the Southern states.¢an not last. ‘They are founded on injustice, prejudice and hate. If the Afro-American is worthy of his civil rights he will contend for them and no power on earth can stay his progress, It seems that the recent spectacular lynching of an Afro-American in the opera house at Livermore, Ky., was too much for bloody Kentucky. Bigh- teen citizens have been indicted, and three of the indictments charge mur. der. WORLD'S CONGRESS OF RACES. Fifty Countries to be Represented at Gathering in London. The first Universal Races Congress, which promises to be one of the most influential gatherings yet held in Lon: don, will take place from July 26 to 29, under the presidency of Lord Wear- dale, at the Imperial Institute. Among those supporting the con- gress ‘are representatives of 50 -coun: tries, over 25 presidents of parlia ments, the majority of members of the Permanent Court of Arbitration, and of the delegates to the second Hague Conference, twelve British governor: and eight British premiers, over 40 colonial bishops, 130 professors of in: ternational law, ‘the leading anthro. pologists and sociologists, the officers and the majority of the council of the Interparliamentary Union, and other distinguished persons. The object of the congress is “te discuss in the light of modern know!- edge and modern conscience the gen. eral relations subsisting between the beoples of the West and those of te East, between the so-called white and the so-called colored peoples, with 3 view to encouraging between them < fuller understanding, the most friend. ly feelings, and.'a heartler co-gpera tion.” The congress will be truly an as semblage of all the races of the world, and it 1s noteworthy that each rac is represented by'a paper from a dis. tinguished member of the people con: cerned.

For the convenience of visitors attending this occasion, a special train will be oper- ated from Montgomery to Tuskegee and return, and also from Opelika and intermediate points to Tuskegee, on May 25th. Caucasian? (From the New York Independent.) This is a conundrum whien is no Joke. It is a very serious matter with many of the first Creole families of Louisiana. To us outside who look on it is absurdly amusing, as the an- tics of those who make fools of them. selves always are, no matter how serious to the participants. Louisiana was settled by the French. The French used to have less fear of race admixture than English settlers. Many Creoles, like Cubans, have a dark complexion, and have been sus. pected of negro blood, which they angrily deny. Louisiana has’ an elab- rat. terminology for the successive di lutions, from the mulatto and the quadroon downward—or upward— which we. printed some weeks ago. When the dilution reaches the six teenth fraction it is almost, indistin guishable, and-at the sixty-fourth no test can ‘discover it.” For all prac. icable purposes the man is a Caw casian—but not for Louisiana law. Of all States, Louisiana ought to be the last to enact a law forbidding in- ter-marriage of a white person with any one who has the least infusion of negro blood. There is no knowing where it might hit, for in Louisiana beyond doubt many’ pass for white in whose genealogy research would dis- cover a few drops of negro blood, Such a case has lately stirred up‘the State, A young woman of a good family, a graduate of a fashionable ladies’ semt- nary in New Orleans, was killed by be. ing run over in the street. A news. paper spoke of-her as colored. That was a mortal offense. Her brother brought suit for slander, and the ed tor, by referring to ancient records showed that one of her ancestors was recorded as colored. ‘That put_ the whole family into a horrible plight They had always thought of them selves as white, and had associated only with white people. Now nobods would associate with them. — They must sink, tho visibly white, to the rank and caste and associations o negroes. Hitherto they had been goo enough to associate with anybody Now, with no fault of their own, anc no change in themselves, they ‘were thrust, with all their whiteness, int the outer blackness. Th dead, girl had a sister happils marvied to a man of German origin There was no question that he was full Caucasian. But he had imbibe the Louisiana prejudice and terror 0 invisible and infinitesimal nigritude He discovered—and his wife did— from the newspaper account that sh had this bar sinister. He could no continue to live With such a bannec woman, Besides, the law forbade it He was liable to imprisonment fo maintaining marital relations with her He appealed to the court to have hi marriage annulled, and the court coul do no less. So she was sent adrif with the rest of her family. Thus it this case two legal maxims had illus tration, one by its truth, “Summa lex summa injuria,” and the other by it estreme contradiction, “De minimi lex non curat.”. ‘The law does care : great deal for the smallest things. 1 cares in Louisiana for what is so at tentiated as to be invisible. Now such a law and such enforce ment is barbarous beyond expression It_puts a suspicion im mutitudes o families. It 1s against all commor sense as againt all Christianity. Wh knows where, thru personal malice it may strike next? The story is tol in the Sun—very likely so—of a simi lar case in one of the parishes. ‘suit for slander was brought for call ing a family colored. The sherif looked up the records and found th charge sustaitied. As the investiga tion amused him, he looked farthe and found one of his own ancestor: recorded as colored—but a’ fortunat. fire soon after destroyed the proof, Now, what should be done? I Louisiana must maintain its infamou law against intermarriage, It. shoul at least seta line where the prepoten negro blood is to be held as washed ou Set it at one-eighth or one-sixteenth or onethirty-second, or —one-sixty fourth, but at least set it somewhere If we do not misremember, Sout! Carolina has such a law. It is addin stupidity to cruelty to allow the tain to go on forever. And once more, we advise all whit. negroes in Louisiana, or anywhere els in the South to change thelr residenc and leave their pedigree behind. Ther is such a case now in Baltimore, wher the doctors can’t tell whether a girl i white or black. Let them leave a Yhite people and be received as: whit yeople We do not doubt there an j {housands of such people, both Nort! and. South, who have, by changin ‘their home, chauiged their race and co or. We have known such cases, an vt all Creoles. ‘Thus, as the bleact ‘ag process goes on, the conundrun ‘will cease to-concern them, When is ; Caucasian not a Caucasian? - oe . eT eet ; me Se ae aE ere % wal ne PAS gaia he tat Se a ee eee oh age a Weewiee wutiting Bory Hall tone RL Girl’ Hall Model. ome’ ATLANTA UNIVERSITY, Atlanta, Ga. 4, on Christian Institution, aevoted te aarancea Raa re Mee tat es Sot ae ee ee ee Sone ihe: Virginia Normal Collagiaie ee TER Ee Tae, Institute, ere ees Te he na TE Cees Pe daees Ge sae ee pear tf at Peewee Licciors Serine sud Goole, Pa.) ed Sanaa ieee este Ge ae toBrosicant Virgiata Noruett Cole, Beer late Tnstivate, Petersburg, Ve: \ HOWARD UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE, REV.

There is no law complying any one to receive THE APPEAL, but there is law to compel any one for whom he receives it, upon the principle of fairness, and pay for anything he receives.

Requesting the Celebration of the Twenty-fifth Anniversary of J. Q. Adams' Editorship of the Appeal. St. Paul, Minn., April 24, 1911 Mr. J. Q. Adams. City My Dear Mr. Adams: As I had the honor, if such it may be denominated, of being the first editor of THE APPEAL, then known as the "Western Appeal," I have stated that I have more interest than that generally evinced by others. Having been so closely connected with its early history, and knowing something of the surroundings then, and doubtless of it, I can more fully appreciate the efforts you have put forth in maintaining it and conducting it on the high plane upon which it has always stood, than can those who are familiar with the business side of it. Since the advent of THE APPEAL there have been a number of publications started in this state under various auspices that passed from the action of action over brief and fittil existence business at the still doing business at the old stand. Now, Mr. Editor, as the paper has been in existence since June 1885, and you became associated with it in 1886, this year is the twenty-fifth year of your connection with it as a manager, and I believe that this fact has led you to some special consideration of hands of the people whom you have served so long and well. Last year, through your efforts, the twenty-fifth anniversary of the birth of the paper was celebrated in a most fitting manner, and the experience in connection with that occasion has never been equaled in Minnesota—nor elsewhere, for that matter. Since it was your able management that maintained the paper, some honor and credit is due you; and, I am one who delights "to do honor and to whom honor is due." And I believe that you will st. Paul, and throughout the state, will be glad to join in celebrating your twenty-fifth anniversary as editor of THE APEAL. Your able management of the Quarterly Anniversary Celebration of THE APEAL yearly will be recognized by every one who was present; and, if you, yourself, will take charge of the matter as you did then, I am confident that the public will feel satisfied that everything that can be done will be done to the occasion a grand success, and that the people will willingly say: "Just you go ahead and we'll hold your coat." Very truly yours, F. D. Parker. Minneapolis, Minn., April 25, 1911. J. Q. Adams, Eds. Since the Quarto-Centennial Celebration of last September, commemorating the twenty-fifth anniversary of the birth of THE APPEAL, was such a point of view; and, is remembered, with pleasure, by every one who had the good fortune to be present on that, never-to-beforgotten, occasion, has occurred to me that an award with such delight by all who were present; as well as by those who, for some reason or another, were deprived of that blessed privilege; and that it was an occasion of unity if it was again offered to them. I also recall the fact that the twenty-fifth anniversary of your association with THE APPEAL occurs this year; and I feel that this is an event as worthy of being celebrated as the birth of the paper; if not entirely to your managerial ability and indefatigable labors that THE APPEAL has been enabled to withstand the storms that have wrecked many like ventures upon the rocks of adversity. And it does seem to me that it will be very difficult to show the Twin Cities to show a just recognition of the herculean task you have accomplished in maintaining an organ in their interest for a quarter of a century, by tendering you a testimonial on the twenty-fifth anniversary of your connection with the APPEAL and in your judgment is more convenient or suitable. I would therefore suggest, if it meets your approval—as I know it will, the patrons of THE APPEAL and your friends generally—that you proceed to carry out that idea along the lines employed in QAEE's celebration of THE APPEAL last year. I have no especial suggestions to make, as the success of last year's affair, as well as many other social events, requires control testify to your exceptionable ability to manage them "to a queen's taste," therefore, I feel sure you would carry this to a successful issue, bring the bent of your own inclination. I am satisfied that I voice the sentiments of the people of Minneapolis. Respectfully yours. R. S. Brown, M. D. By a singular coincidence the letters above, reached THE APPEAL of this week. It is very gratifying, indeed, to receive such kind words and to be made to feel that we have not lived and labored in vain these many years, and have been paused with the Quarter-Centennial of THE APPEAL, as stated by these correspondents. We would be pleased to hear from any others who desire to express themselves in regard to the proposed celebration of the ninety-fifth anniversary before fully deciding what action to take in the matter. So let us hear from the patrons of THE AP Respectfully, J. Q. Adams. Prices on everything seems to be going up, and the newspaper publisher is among the sufferers. The price of getting tape has been advanced ONE-THIRD, therefore a higher price must be charged for advertisements and articles published in the papers. Don't forget this. Dr. H. L. Williams, our dentist, has moved his office from the Philipsborn building to Room 64 Medical Block, corner of Seventh and Robert streets, over Mahur's Drug Store, where he will be pleased to see all old as well as new patrons.

Which Will Be Seen at the Grand Next Week. For the first time the engagement of the Lewis-Oliver Players at the Grand, commencing with a matinee to-morrow at 2:30, the dramatization of Alexander the Great, novel, by the author, be the all-time Interest is always aroused when this famous old drama is announced, for those who have seen it in years past always want to attend again, and to those who have never seen it, it is a revelation of dramatic construction, the drama of dialogue and duels of the old days. Half a century this sterling play has been given to applauding millions, and its drawing powers appear undiminished. The great storm scene, following the escape of Edmund Dantes from the terrifying surroundings of the Château d'If, is one of the greatest masterpieces of French literature when he mounts the storm-bearer rock and shouts "The world is mine!" the audiences invariably go wild with enthusiasm. Written by the master dramatist of all times, Alexander Dumas, it is conceded to be his best play. The character of Edmund Dante is a splendid man, brings them to justice, fine, handsome, noble and generous to a fault, and that he should be the victim of a cruel conspiracy which robs him of sixteen long years of his life is the cause for great regret. He returns from his imprisonment, faces his accusers, brings them to justice, wins back the woman from whose arms he is torn in the first act. No expense will be spared by Messrs. Lewis & Oliver in creating in the stage environment a faithful replica of the pictureque locale in which the action of the Dumas story is placed, and the cosmos is disturbed by the garb of the people of France in the period of the play. Mr. Rupert Drum will play the leading role. for the week or May 28th the Lewis- Oliver presents "Ten Nights in a Barroom." The Handy Woman Given a water color box and an outfit of stencil dyes and the faded colors of the wardrobe and household generally may be restored by an amateur. One woman who was mourning over the fading of the pretty blue and white bathroom rag rugs which she had made a year or so ago, to match her bathroom bethought herself of her stencil dyes. She mixed them to the exact shade and with a brush applied the dye to the faded portions with the most satisfactory results. Another woman who found the roses of her new hat showing the effects of the sun applied her water color brush to the dye to the faded portions of a family a girl with a faded last year's hat has dipped it with the liquid which the notion counters carry, and as the outcome of her effort she has a hat as good as new, and, if the bottle reads truly, as lasting. Energy and a knack find many uses for these ready-to-use paints, dyes and stains. GOOD SHOES The Horsheim SHOE For the man who cares STANLEY SHOE CO. 421 Robert Street.

Sinco that time every new field has added something new. For several years every individual well was a revelation. Peculiaritles were observed not found in thelr predeces- ftors. Then the new things were found in localities. It 1s the same way yet. Oil refuses to abide by the rules and “freak” wells persist. The driller of tong experience is constantly expect- ing something different from anything he has ever encountered. It is this novelty that makes the oll tusiness 80 fascinating, but the same thing in- ereases the hazard. ‘The latest reported oddity is the discovery of heavy oil in the Caddo deep sata. The opening of a bigh grade oll fle® {a that locality was a surprise to all and to many a dis- agreeable one. But when that grade ‘@f crude had come to be the expected thing from the deep sand there, a well 4s drilled in alongaide the fleld that produces ofl of 30 degrees gravity from the same sand that yields the oil of high gravity.

Sterilization by Light. Milk Is now being sterilized in Paris by submitting it to the action sf ultra-violet rays, thus avoiding the se of heat or treatment by chemical antiseptic substances. It has long Been Known that light without heat ean destroy micro-organisms, and in 3692 it was proved that from the ultra-violet part of the spectrum there proceeded rays that had a bacterial effect. It was further shown that Glass stopped these rays, which, how- aver, passed easily through quartz, it has taken over seven years to turn this knowledge “to general use, but now ‘in Paris an apparatus has been made by which ultra-violet rays, through quartz, sterilize 132 gallons of water an hour.
