MEMORIAL DAY AT GETTYSBURG BATTLEFIELD
HERE is perhaps no other spot in the country where the observance of Memorial day is characterized by the significance of Gettysburg. No visitor can traverse, at any season of the year, the scene of the greatest struggle in the most momentous civil war of all history and not gain a new conception of the life of the nation that were enacted the climax of a five-year drama but at Memorial day the lessons and the significance of this immense battlefield seems to take on a yet deeper meaning.
And yet to see it clothed in the fresh green of a twentieth century spring one would never suspect, save for the reminders of the hundreds of memorials in marble and granite bronze, that this placid landscape was a scant half century ago the locale of one of the fifteen decisive battles in the world's history. It seems today as though it might have merely been chosen because it was the day services because of its natural beauty. Similarly thousands of patriotic pilgrims who wend their way thither every Decoration day be well justified in the journey were there no historic attractions whatever to draw them, for one might travel for days in this

But for all its natural beauty it is the sentiment of its historic background that serves as the magnet which draws a great throng thither from all sections of the country on Memorial day. They come by train—although Gettysburg is not the most accessible of historic spots; they come from a wide radius of the rich Pennsylvania terrain, round the battlefield; and finally they come by automobile, for, so it is explained, Gettysburg has become of late years a most popular objective with motor tourists who find in the great park or reservation which now perpetuates the battlefield a network of the finest roads in America—highways which it is a sheer delight to motor tourists (if one could dismiss the subject) of the historic streets and localities to be viewed by the wayside.
The Memorial day pilgrims who journey to the average Civil war battlefield or national cemetery for the annual strewing of flowers are one-day visitors who arrive after dawn and depart before sunset. But this is not wholly the case at Getsburg, although many heavy laden excursion trains do arrive during the Memorial day. In addition to this throng, however, there is one room made up of persons who spend from two days at Getsburg and who have come at the Memorial day session because there is an added touch of realism to the scenes at that time when veterans in blue are tramping over the roads where counties thousands of their fellows advanced and retreated during the memorable days of battle. These visitors overflow the hotels, of which Getsburg has an unusual number for so small a town, and occupy all the available rooms in the private living room of the city. The conditions of a decade ago still prevail, but happiness of the automobile has helped matters in this respect. Many of the visitors ride over the battlefield in their own touring cars, whereas the cars for hire relieve the strain upon the four-horse and six-horse coaches which continue as of yore the regulation mode of touring the battlefield. Incidentally it may be added that the introduction of the motor car has greatly facilitated things for the tourists who is desirous of seeing Getsburg be the limited time for which Americans are living in their sightseeing. Indeed by keeping continually on the road from morning until night, with only a brief stop for lunch, a motorist may obtain an excellent idea of Getsburg.

association incorporated by the legislature of Pennsylvania and this patriotic organization had expended more than $100,000, had acquired 600 acres of land and erected more than three hundred monuments when in 1895 the congress of the United States provided for the establishment of Gettysburg National park and placed it under the direction of the secretary of war. The monument was then constructed which encloses the widest limits of the battlefield and the erection of memorials and markers still goes on. In the soldiers' cemetery alone more than four hundred memorial shafts and tablets and more than one thousand markers have been set up at a cost aggregating several million dollars. When the present scheme of roadways is completed there will be between 100 and 150 miles of fine macadamized highway extend to every part of the battlefield, while five miles of roadways in the battlefield enable sightseers to enjoy the bird-eye views which are so helpful in enabling one to understand the movements of the opposing forces that made up the far-flung battle line.

The cemetery, in dedicating which Abraham Lincoln delivered the immortal address familiar to every American, originally contained the bodies of 3,555 soldiers removed from all parts of the field, where they had been hastily buried. The number of graves has been greatly increased since that date and there is yet ample space for the veterans who may desire to rest at the scene of the supreme struggle between the Union and the defendery. One of the national monuments, the cry-old restroom—a memorial shrine for the dead who sleep around it and which is used for the exercises held each Memorial day.
The battle of Gettysburg is of such comparatively recent date that vivid reminders of it are to be found on all sides. The little dwellings, occupied as headquarters by Generals Meade and Lee respectively are yet standing in an excellent state of preservation; the earthworks on Cemetery hill are yet intact; Culp's hill still holds its bullet-carred trees and the bullet-marked boulders are to be seen on every hand at the Devil's Den. Plans have also been made for the accurate restoration of those portions of the field where the peach estuary, which conspicuously in the battle, but were obliterated or lost much of their old-time semblance in the days following the war and before the launching of the project for perpetuating the battlefield as one of the most interesting object lessons of American history.
A boon enjoyed by present-day visitors to Gettysburg that will be sadly missed by those sightseers who come a generation hence is the presence on the battlefield as guides of veterans who participated in the thick of the fighting. To hear these men recount their personal experiences and point out by the aid of undimmed memory every locality that figured in the crucial battle of the war, an impression more vivid and thrilling than can be for them to must depend for their knowledge of this military drama upon what they may have read in the histories.

burg battlefield in a single day. Of course on such a schedule he cannot really study the geography with relation to the complex movements of the opposing forces and there will be some sections of secondary importance which he will have to omit from his itinerary, but on the whole he will have obtained a mental moving picture of the various important localities marked by monuments and cannon. To do the battlefield as thoroughly in a horse-drawn vehicle would require at least three or four days and a pedestrian might spend weeks on the battlefield ever traversing the same road twice except in going to the field and returning to his hotel.
As has been hinted above, it is the battlefield and not the Memorial day exercises which throng Gettysburg at the end of May each year. Some years the program included and there are not as many graves to be decorated as might be supposed by the person not conversant with the comparatively small number of marked graves on Gettysburg battlefield. Yet there are other occasions when the exercises at Gettysburg focus the eyes of the entire country. This is the case when the president of the United States delivers the address of the day at Gettysburg, as President Taft did a couple of years ago, as President Roosevelt did before him, and as almost all of our presidents have done in their day since memorable occasions when President Lincoln dedicated the Gettysburg battlefield, cemetery with an address which has gone down into history as the most eloquent, the most impressive and the most enduring of the many tributes pronounced by the martyr president.
The audience which faces a president or other public man at Getsburg invariably impresses the distinguished orator. It is an assemblage obviously made up largely of the farming class and it is apt to be less demonstrative than the applauding crowds that are encountered in factor*towns, but it is a body of men and women who pay such close attention to the address of which they are auditors and who so manifestly represent the other, as well as the community coalition as to inspire the best efforts of the speakers. It is in the character of these Getsburg audiences as well as in the inspiration of the historic surroundings that we may find the incentive to the significant utterances affecting the general policy of the nation which have from time to time been given expression by our chief magistrates in Memorial day addresses at Getsburg.
Getsburg ranks as the most elaborately and accurately marked battlefield in the world, having more monuments and memorials than all other battlefields combined. The position of every body of troops in the war, and most of those in the confederate forces, was clearly outlined by distinctive landmarks and the maneuvers of the wonderful battle may be traced by all who desire to study this masterpiece of strategy and military science. The work of preserving the battlefield was inaugurated by an
PRINT WITHOUT INK
Englishman Makes Remarkable Discovery by Accident.
By Means of Electricity Inventor Can Print a Paper in All Hues of the Rainbow With One Contact.
London—About two years ago a fugitive paragraph drifting in the English press had for its subject a possible "printing without ink."
Just now a semi-technical London publication has succeeded in running down the author of the discovery and from it it has the story of the experiment up to date. The man is Cecil Bembridge, London address not given.
It was an accidental lead which Mr. Bembridge picked up in his discovery of inkless printing. It was about 18 years ago that, working in his laboratory, electric battery, he had spread a wire on the table and on the tin plate he had laid a piece of moist paper. The bare ends of the copper wires from his battery trailed over this sheet of wet paper which had stuck fast to the plate of tin.
His experiment originally was to discover a certain electro-metallurgical action in connection with gold and for the purpose of the experiment he reached into his pocket for a gold coin. As he brought a handful of miscellaneous coins from his pocket, a gold piece slipped through his fingers, rolled upon the table and in catching at the coin, he clamped the sovereign upon one of the connecting battery wires and in contact with the moist paper. In the pling the coin, too, the other wire was pushed over until it lay in contact with the sheet of tin. Then came the accidental discovery.
He reached for the coin and in picking it up was surprised to find upon
A Gold Piece Slipped Through Hk Fingers.
the moist paper an absolutely clear imprint of the coin in a brownish black. He describes the print as even clearer than if he had inkied the coin and applied the inked surface to the paper by careful pressure.
Following his questionings he procured a few linotype lines of print, assembled them, and placed the type, face down, on a like sheet of moist paper resting upon a like sheet of tin. When the battery wires were connected with the type metal and with the tin sheet and current applied, every letter showed from the type lines without blur or blemish.
Taking a sheet of size in lieu of the tin, again the electrical influences brought the same general effect, though the crudest of hand methods were used in applying the type to the paper. Dry paper was not affected; moisture was required for the proper conductivity.
After proving to his satisfaction that, regardless of the pressure upon the paper in contact, the clearness of the lettering was satisfactory, Mr. Bembridge sought to discover a chemical modifier for the paper which would give the jet black effect of ordinary printer's ink and at the same time preserve the whiteness of the paper.
The great trouble was to secure permanency in the electrical imprint.
For ten years Mr. Bembridge wrestled with the solution of his problem. Today he announces that everything is accomplished and proved, not only in the matter of a jet black print without ink, but asserts that he is able to print a newspaper in all hues of the rainbow and with the one contact.
As explained by Mr. Bembridge, his long searches into chemical combinations for producing jet black prints led him into electro-pigmentary combinations producible by oxidizing processes. More than all of this made that in treating the white paper of the cheapest of chemical elements serve the purpose admirably and at a cost far below that of the costly printer's inks.
As for the presses for turning out the newspaper, they are greatly simplified, the ink troughs and rollers disappearing altogether. The stereotype plate is used and in position on the press is thoroughly insulated below, while the roller surface which guides the moist paper also is insulated with the positive material are connected with the positive material while the stereotype plate is linked with the negative and from the electric power that runs the press the electrochemical action is set up, making the imprint as desired upon the pa
'n Disguise Ernest of Hesse Goes Among His Poorer Subjects Doing Good.

The grand duke sympathized with him. The stranger, taking his companion for a fellow clerk, asked for a little loan.

buy a suit and I will repay you out of my first wages, because I certainly can get a job."
The grand duke without replying led the way towards the palace gates. A gorgeously uniformed official appeared and asked: "What are your highness' commands?"
The grand duke replied: "Take this young man to my tailors and see that he gets a suit and have the bill sent to the palace." Then he said a hearty go by-by to the out-of-work clerk.

Although the contract was signed four years ago, when Miss Devine was twenty-four years old, news of the agreement was not made public until now. If Miss Devine is unmarried when she is thirty-four, the stock will be turned over to her. Should she marry before the agreement expires the stock reverts to the company.

Shy Little Creature Has Gone and Replaced by Monkey With Pigtail, Says Noted Lecturer.
Paris—Monsignor Bolo, the talented lecturer, who possesses a fame in Paris only comparable with that of Father Bernard Vaughan in England, has lately devoted his attention to the French young girl. In the course of an article in the Matin on this subject he remarks:
"The little creature with a shy laugh has disappeared from our national life, it becomes an attempt to replace it, one which Schopenhauer would have called the 'monkey with a pigtail'. This young girl of today takes liberties like an American, flirts like an English girl, reads like a Norwegian, is omnivorous and versatile as a Russian, uses her eyes like a Spaniel, and dresses like a Turk."

Comaniche, Tex.—A tigersuma that purss like a tiger and is said to be a habitat of South America was captured near Comaniche. The bird is striped and about the size of a hen, has a small head and eyes and is of white fur. It is believed to have been blown to sea in a storm and found refuge in Paris.

Cuts as Cleanly as a Saw and Goes More Quickly Through Inch Steel Than Saw Would Through Wood.
Chicago—Every day a practical demonstration is being given on the streets of a new device before the marvelous power of which steel becomes like paper.
The oxyaceteline blow-pipe is the device. It is being used to cut out the big steel pillars of the elevated loop which are being removed to make room for through route surface cars to turn street corners. The process also is being used in cutting out old steel pilons which interface with the work on the new La Sale street tunnel.
Thousands of Chicagoans have watched with amazement the action of the tiny blue flame of the blow-pipe upon the massive steel of the elevated pillars. Before it the steel melts away, vanishes in gas. It cuts as cleanly as a saw, and goes more quickly through inch-thick steel than a saw would through soft wood. Inquiry proved that the marvels of the oxyaceteline blow-pipe have been known to scientists for a very few years; and commercially they are just becoming known.
So far as is known, the device has never been used for criminal purposes. But experiments have proved that the flame will cut through the strongest safe as easily as through the elevated pillars. Before it the most cunningly devised vault walls become like paper. Manganese steel, upon which the hardest drills have no effect, is pierced with ease by the oxyacetoline flames.
Just why steel melts before the flame scientists do not know. The flame is produced by combining pure oxygen with aceteline gas. The acet-

elline gas is first lighted, then the oxygen is urned on. The resulting flame produced at a point about an inch from the blow-pipe is a temperature of 6,300 degrees Fahrenheit. The temperature of the sun, 91,000 miles away, is 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit. It is apparent that the blow-pipe flame will melt any metal in short order; it does more than melt it. It burns it.
With its assistance the criminal not only could break into any safe; he could break out of any fail. Steel bars never have been forged which will withstand it. An up-to-date murderer could destroy his victim's body in ten minutes. He could transform the corpse detect into a handful of ashes, and scatter them on the sidewalk. He would have to be careful in doing it, because, for instance, if he put the body in a bathtub to burn he might burn a hole through the bathtub. All the marvelous blow-pipe, however, is imaginary. They have never been attempted, so far as is recorded.
But the beneficial uces of the blowpipe are becoming the wonder of the industrial world. With it diamonds, rubies and sapphires are manufactured. Scientific rubies, which are better than the natural product and can be produced for the cost of paste gems, are now made in Paris, and a plant is to be opened in New York for the gems.
A ruby which if mined would sell for $3,000 can be made for a few dollars and is sold for $75. The color of the manufactured rubies is better than the natural kind.
Sapphires are more difficult to produce, but are successfully handled. The diamonds made by subjecting carbon to the intense heat of the blowpipe are not so hard as nature's diamonds, but are more brilliant. In making diamonds it is not the oxyacetate diamonds, but the oxhydrate that is used. The difference is that heaven is substituted for the aceteline, because of the chemical effect which the latter has. The temperature produced is not quite so great as with the aceteline, but gets better results in making gems.
Snubs Women Wearing Feathers.
Albany, N. V. — fifteen years
Mrs. Ralph Waldo Trine, authorhes, has refused to speak to women friends and acquaintances who wore the fur of harmless wild animals or the feathers of forest birds. Mr. Trine so informed the legislative forestry, fisheries and committee at the hearing on the bill to permit the trade in algrettes.
Mrs. Trine urged the legal protection of the bird from which algrettes could easily invent something to take the place of cigarettes and other feathers.

SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY MacVEAGH.
Who Urged Civic Beauty for Washington in Address Before American
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 sald 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-

GRANDFATHER CLAUSE VoID.
Judge John H. Cotteral of the United
States District Court at Oklahoma
City, Okla., has overruled the demur-
rer of defendants in the case of the
United States against four election
officers, holding the “grandfather
clause” amendment to the state con
stitution invalid, because it is in Vio-
lation of the Fifteenth amendment to
the Federal Constitution.
‘The power to. grant the right™to
vote, the Court held, was not given to
the Federal Government, but the
Fifteenth Amendment decreed that the
right to vote should not be denied any
person because of “race, color or pre
vious condition of servitude.”
To make the subjection of certain
individuals to the “educational test”
dependent on thefr condition before
18€6 would make it dependent on their
race and color, the Court held,
‘The “grandfather clause” exempts
from the “educational test” those
whose ancestors were entitled to vote
on January 1, 1866, or were residents
of a foreign country. Under this clause
Afro-Americans were denied the right
to vote.

CIVILIZATION CAME FROM
AFRICA.
Angelo Mosso, a famous Italisn
author, has written a book on “The
Dawn of Mediterranean Civilization,”
in which he gives the Aryan theory
a hard blow.
Civilization didn't come from the
East, he says, backing up what Prof,
Sergi of the University of Rome and
his followers have declared from time
to time. “We found out things for
ourselves and Africa supplied the rest
of our knowledge.”
Not even in Egypt does the new
school admit any great Asiatic in-
fluence. Before the Pharaohs came—
that fs, before 3000 B. C.—the customs
and bellefs of the dynastic periods
were well started.
=
|, SCerfective Page
ca ei ean ec aac
Mosso says naturalists are agreed
in admitting the preponderating in
fluence of Africa upon the population
of Europe. From Africa man pro
bably passed to Europe, and in the
Stone Age had increased so as to
form a considerable population. Cer.
tain scientists have for years declared
that the fair races have always dom
inated their darker brethren and civi
lization came through them alone, s0
THE APPEAL may be pardoned for
expressing great satisfaction at the
fall of the ARYAN theory.

VILE CAUCASIANS.
‘Two men and a woman, all mem-
bers of the “superior” race of Wash-
ington, D. C. were recently sentenced
to short terms in the penitentiary for
attempting to extort $5,000, by means
of the “badger game,” from a rich He
brew, who had been lured to the wo-
man’s apartments, and had been pho-
tographed while with her. The pic-
tures shown were the most obscene
and the testimony of the details of the
case was the vilest ever given in the
Capital City and are a sad reflection
on the degeneracy of the Caucasian
American, Tne 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 a white woman’s pocketbook.
RIGHT PLACE FOR THE MEETING.
Baltimore has invited the Confeder
ate veterans to hold their reunion ir
that city in 1913,
It is the proper thing to do. Balti
more more than any-other city exem
plifies the unreasoning race prejudic«
of America. The enactment of the seg
regation law proves to what extreme:
of the Baltimoreans will go to show
their bitter race hatred,
Baltimore is typical of the Confeder
ate idea—the degradation of the Afro
American—hence it is eminently fit
ting that the men who rebelled anc
fought to found a government with
slavery as its cornerstone should holé
‘a rreunion in Baltimore.

~* importance of Being Sociable.
‘To simply live alone, with no pro
vision for the gratification of the so-
etal instincts, 1s apt to prove too se
vere a strain upon the reserve forces
of even the happiest marriage. There
fs some excuse outside the home
wherein no thought is given te soctal
pleasure, while the wite is apt to grow
petty and personal, and therefore less
attractive as she shuts herself away
from intercourse with others. This
dropping out is very easy, but even
‘when prosperity comes, and large so-
fai functions are possible, ft 1s too
Jate to gain that most valuable pos.
session, friendship, which 1s entirely
independent of financial success. To
have and to hold a place in the soctal
Ife of the world {s not only the right
but the duty of the young wife who
desires to have a home in its truest
‘and best sense.
| Point,
There has just been issued from the
press a booklet of 61 pages which
deals with the “vexed problem” from
a Christian standpoint. The author
is Mr RM. Toombs, a gra¥uate of

Some of the people to whom THE APPEAL is as regularly sent as it is issued—and that is every Saturday—act as though they are under neither legal nor moral obligations to pay for it; when, as a matter of fact, they are under both. There is no law compelling any one to receive THE APPEAL, but there is law to compel any one to pay for it who receives it, upon the principle of law that one must pay for anything he receives. Ordering a paper discontinued does not pay any amount that may be due and unpaid, and the publisher has the right to continue to send his paper until whatever may be due for it is fully paid; then an order to discontinue must be obeyed. It is hoped that every one who reads this, that is indebted to the paper, will bring or send to the office the amount due. Every one who receives THE APPEAL is expected to pay for it.

Which Will be Seen at the Grand Next Week.
For the fourth week of the Grand's supplementary spring season, commencing; Sunday matine, May 28th, and will include a special matinee on Decoration Day, the Lewis-Oliver Players will present a grand revival of the temperance drama "Ten Nights in a Bar" that not been presented in this city for many years and the coming presentation of this great temperance story.
JACK LEWIS.
Of Lewis-Oliver Players at the Grand.
will be heralded with delight by Grand patrons. The play is one that teaches lasting lessons of temperance, morality, truth and virtue and leaves a strong impression on all who witness it. The past year all of the large cities of this and all other countries, have borne testimony to its lifelike delineators of folly, misery, madness and crime caused by the vice of drunkenness. The play is a melodrama, but one of merit, clean and wholesome and is overflowing with heart interest and thrills. There are a great number of
strong dramatic scenes and situations in the play which include The Great Bar-Room scene, "The Terrific Explosion," "The Old Mill in Operation," "The Duel to Death," "Joe Morgan's Reformation," "The Famous Gambling Den" and the "Grand Transformation Scene." Messrs. Lewis and Oliver promise an entire new scenic outfit and all the scenic effects used in the original production years ago will be given, producing cast will in every way meet the requirements of the characters. A new series of motion pictures will be shown as usual between the acts. Art L. Oliver will be seen as Joe Morgan and Jack Lewis as Sample Switchell.
Prices on everything seems to be going up, and the newspaper publisher is among the sufferers. The price for setting type 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. I. Williams, our dentist, has moved his office from the Philipsburg building to Room 64 Medical Block, corner of Seventh and Robert streets, over Maneur's Drug Store, where he will be pleased to see all old as well as new patrons.

TENDERED TO FREDERICK L. MCGHEE, ESQ., BY HIS FELLOW CITIZENS.
The Newport, the Scene of One of the Most Representative and Hopeful Gatherings Ever Held in St. Paul.
"Tis said that the exceptions prove the rule, and, if as the Bible says: "A prophet is not without honor save in his own country, and among his own people," the magnificent complimentary dinner which was given in honor of Fredrick L. McGhee, Esq., at the Newport Thursday was not an exception, to use a homely expression, "we'll eat our hat." There have been dinners and dinners and banquets and banquets, etc., in honor of this one or that one, but never before has there been such a dinner at the Afro-Americans of St. Paul to one of their number. And, if unanimous and deserved praise would have a tendency to swell ones head, the words of praise that were uttered by every one who had the honor and pleasure of being present at the Newport Thursday night, Mr. McGhee would be perfectly excusable if he had to use a shoe horn to put on his hat hereafter. The dinner was given by a number of gentlemen who believe Mr. McGhee worthy of great consideration for the many good things he has accomplished during his twenty-two years of marriage and married principally by Messrs. George W. Wills and J. H. Sherwood. The guests were late in arriving and it was 10:30 o'clock before they sat down to the toothsome reap which was a sample of the skill as a chef of the Newport proprietor Mr. Curtis Raymond, the menu was as follows:
Clear Tomato Boullion in cups.
Celery
Olives
Celery Olives
Baked Lake Trout, matre de Hotel
Potato Chips Sliced Cucumbers
Philadelphia Capon
New York, Gourmet Cream
The table was handsomely decorated with cut flowers and ferns.
The Menu cards were quite handsome and were from THE APPEAL PRESS. They consisted of an embossed gilt cage and U. S. flag on the cover and a four page insert stitched with blue silk. Mr. Jose H. Sherwood acted as toastmaster and was right onto his job all the time. He made something of a speech as starter. Invocation by Rev. E. H. McDonlad and then followed the TOASTS

Saved At Last.
And that my soul, freed from this clay, was wandering thru space.
Trying to find a harbor or a place to sleep and rest.
Longing to see an old friend and to hold him to my breast.
Far in the distance I saw a cloud dazzeling and affamed,
As the the sun had kissed her lips and left her all ashamed.
And I had a hunch that the time was soon when luck would look my way,
And I hastened along toward that golden cloud to rest me a year or a day.
As I drew near my oasis, forms indistinct took shape;
And I saw the soul of a long lost friend standing o. guard at a gate.
His hand held a sword whose bloodred blade was a burning flame of fire. And the portals he guarded were white as snow—from within came the hymns of a choir.
"Thrice welcome," he said, "enter into at last a life of joy and peace,
For here we have no lynching bees or
mobs or prejudice."
He called a spirit-messenger and bade him to be feast.
Show me the sights—bring clothes and food, for spirits still must eat.
The mighty gates, two spotless clouds swung wide before us two.
And a city clothed in whiteness lay before my startled view,
Whose streets are fleecy snow clouds and whose buildings very neat,
And the brightness blurred my spirit eyes as we started up the street.
There were crowds of men and women in the streets and buildings too.
And mark ye! every ghost face was of an amber hue;
And each black face was smiling, and there seemed to be no poor.
And I answered many a silent salute from friends who'd gone before.
None of them had wings on, but they floated thru the air.
And, oh, glory, hallejuh! all of them had "Miss Ann's" hair.
When
when I saw their smiling faces, heard their laughter and their jokes,
"Sweet"
"Sure," I thought, "this must be Heaven, but I don't see no white folks." My faithful guide informed me, Fredrick Douglas was the mayor.
And the city hall was clean and politicians square.
That the churches were all prosperous and religion on the hum,
That the Methodist called Rev. Jones, but he said he couldn't come.
He said they'd further saved a place for Deacon Geo. Wills too—
Arguing with some atheist to make
Arguing with some atheist to make him change his view—
They'd been expecting Claude Jackson for some little time,
To lead the phanton choir in some syncopated rhyme.
"And," said the guide, "there's one down there we've got to have on high.
We've offered him inducements but we can't get him to die.
we want him for chief justice, police chief and president,
president.
In fact we'll let him run things if he'll just give his consent."
His voice broke and in his eye I saw a ghostly tear—
"He's a big man now down yonder, but we'll make him bigger here."

The house cost to build $10,000 and the barn $2,500, making a valuable piece of property worth $15,000.

Each one of the subscribers present was called on in turn and each one responded in a short or long speech, as he felt disposed, but the tone of each was the same high praise of the guests of honor.
When all had finished, Mr. McGhee responded. He was evidently greatly affected by the spontaneous effort of his city to show the high appreciation of this city to show the high held and he said so, in the way that only McGhee can say things.
He said:
"Now let me be your follower. Let each one of you be my leader and let me say to you brothers out of the depth of my heart I thank God to be here with you. I feel that if I could
I would say some encomiums of that good man who brought you here whom I hold in high esteem my good friend Mr. G. W. Wills. And I say heart, how highly I appreciate this to you with all the strength of my gathering, and what high appreciation I feel and how happy I am at the restoration of the friendship between me and my dear old friend Billy Francis. As I sat here and heard men tell of how well I was known and how I have fought the battles of the race, I am reminded of the time when I was fighting what I thought one of the battles of the race. When hundreds of men who ought to have stood by me and for the thing for which I stood, failed me, when others had fled, it was upon this man's shoulder that I leaned and Billy failed me not. And when I tell you that it gives me great pleasure to get back again to that friendship and lean on his shoulder, I want you to believe how true it is. There has been one great thought that has run through this meeting; there has been one central idea that seems to me has pervaded and permeated the whole thing and that is that we get together, and now we have gotten together.
There is to the race a voice crying. It cried in the early dawn of our freedom. It has been crying every night as we went to bed, as the whippoor-will sings its song, and cries every morning with the lark awaking the moon; and that cry has been, "Ye are all one." How true this that we are all one. We have been steadily growing together, we must not grow apart, there can be no such thing as "he is
greater than I, and he is over men, and I his follower. We are all followers. We are all leaders, we are only going on together And this mighty cry, "Ye are one," is the key that unlocks the door to higher life. And just as sure as we let that spirit grow among us just so surely will we grow in material worth. The one thing that brought success in a recent case which I tried was the fact that every man in this community was interested in its outcome. Those of you who colud not attend the trial talked it on the street and at your business, while the good women stayed at home and prayed over it, and that's what made success.
If I have been successful during the years that I have lived here it is because of my eagerness to seize the opportunities that presented themselves. All of our successes make to our good. Let me call your attention to a very small thing. The other day a man came to my office and said, Mr. McGhee, I want to say to you that you have the best set of your people in St. Paul of anywhere I have been. That man was the head waiter at the St. Paul Hotel and he knows what he is talking about. He said they give better service than white waiters and that they work together and help each other, a thing that white waiters won't do. That they they are better than white girls, as they steal everything from each other. This man has been a waiter all his life and I believe he knows what he is talking about. And this can be said of our people in St. Paul in all walks of life. Right now are men that are engaged in all occupations of life.
You ask me what I would have. My answer is, "Men and brothers, I would have nothing more than your confidence in me and my confidence and faith in you." And now when you go to your home and I to mine we shall take to our home that faith, that trust, that good spirit, that inspiring good spirit and inspiring good faith and inspiring determination and plant it there too, for would it not be a failure if we only had these things here and not them in our homes. I am surely glad to tell you that when I get home there will be a little girl girl we shall teach her a dill. For she sees this message, "Dill for the men how much I appreciate what they are doing for you. And how splendid it will be, and how happy it will be to tell that little girl the good things you have said, and how happy it will make her heart to know those good things, and I bring you the greetings of my wife."
I am sure that when the time shall come that I shall be no more, when that time will come that life is oer; happy will be the thought of tonight. And now that I know your thoughts about me I realize the responsibility which rests up on me. I realize what a mistake in every life would be; I realize what a fall it would be if I, also, should fall. And so I ask your aid, your help and your prayers, encourage me when I am right and tell me of my faults; tell me when I am wrong. Help me on everything you can, for in all that I shall strive to do I shall ask not for treasure, but for this I would strive—when the lips now speaking are laid in the grave, that my brothers will gather themselves as you gathered tonight and say, "He lived; tried to be right; tried to help the race, and trying to be right, and trying to the race he died. Then I will need no comment; then I will need no flowers, and they will build in your hearts and memories a monument more lasting than any monument in gold or in bronze; in brace in stone could be, to have you tell your children, even as you have told me, that my life was worth its living and my day has been spent in the service of others as well as myself. And you need bring no flowers then, for I will be gone. The flowers I want as I lay on death's bed are these words: "That I deserved well of my fellowman."
One of the happiest incidents in connection with the dinner was the bringing together of Mr. McGhee and Mr. W. T. Francis, who have been "at outs" for some time. They shook hands cordially and renewed the friendship of old amid the applause of all the guests present.
After the close of Mr. McGhee response he arose and referred to the opportunity which was afforded to the people of Minnesota in connection with the candidacy of Mr. W. T. Fancis as minister to Haiti.
A motion prevailed and the toastat

Then came a benediction by Rev. A. H. Leatad and the singing of the Doxology. Thus closed one of the most helpful occasions that has eevr taken place in St. Paul.
