The Appeal

THE APPEAL KEEPS IN FRONT BECAUSE: 1-It aims to publish all the news possible. 2-It does so impartially, wasting no words. 3- Its correspondents are able and energetic. SEEN from the PRESS GALLERY BY EDWARD B. CLARK THE JUDGE'S GROUP C UBA has reciprocity in trade with the United States. The bill giving the Island the benefits of the trade agreement was considered at an extra session of congress called by President Roosevelt. There was a good deal of sentiment in the Cuban matter, more than there has been in connection with the Canadian reciprocity measure. The bill went through the house and was sanctioned by the senate taking all told only three weeks in its passage. The members of congress debated and talked twenty percent reductions, sugar trusts and the like for four days and then the tense hour approached when the vote was to be taken. The time was tense notwithstanding the fact that it was known that the bill was to carry by a great majority. The galleries were packed with people and in the halls without were hundreds unable to JEN. TILLMAN gain admission, yet standing still and listening for the result of the ballot that was to show we know how "to help a weak sister republic to her financial feet." The house clock hands were at the exact hour of 4. The vote of the representatives of a great and sovereign people had been taken. The republic was true to its trust. The solemnity of the feeling of duty well done still hung upon the great chamber. Each of the thousands were busy with his thoughts. The voice of a member from Ohio broke the stillness. "I have a resolution of privilege to offer." it said. "It must be a question of high privilege, sir, to receive consideration at such an hour," said Speaker Cannon in solemnly subdued tones. "Let the resolution be read." "Resolved, That this house of representatives of the United States of America authorize the hiring of another rubber for the capitol Turkish-bath rooms." When the Appalachian Mountain Forest Reserve bill was under consideration a member of congress who was in favor of saving the trees told a striking story about the saving of a great tree in far off Australia. It was a long way to go for a tree story, but perhaps the moral was worth the journey. In 1868 John Boyle O'Reilly, the Irish poet, was a political convict in Australia, sentenced to hard labor for life. With a gang of fellow convicts under the charge of a British officer and a squad of soldiers he was breaking a road through a tropical forest. They came to a tree and the men were about to lay the ax at its roots when O'Reilly made them stop, dropping his own ax the while. The British officer ordered the men to work. O'Reilly put his hand to his cap, saluted and said. "I should like to speak to you." The officer was amazed at this convict's impudence, but perhaps it was the very boldness of the thing that wrought the purpose intended. "This tree is too beautiful to fell; please let it stand." said the convict. The British soldier looked dumfounded. "Come over here," said O'Reilly, "and look at it from this point of view." The convict was now the commanding officer. The Englishman followed the Irishman for a hundred yards, and then, turning his horse, looked up on the tree, and his eye kindled. He looked down upon O'Reilly and said: "The orders are for the THE APPEAL. JAMES WILSON, BEOW OF AGRICULTURE road to run straight, but we'll send it around the tree." If the Australian tree is still standing, it stands as a monument to an Irishman who had a soul. Once Representative William Alden Smith, now a United States senator, tried his level best in the house debate on Panama to make Congressman Dinsmore of Arkansas supply a stock of good Republican campaign material, just as Blaine baited Ben Hill in the old days. Dinsmore was talking about the hasty recognition of the independence of Panama by the United States and drew a comparison between that action and the attempts of this government to keep foreign nations from recognizing the confederacy in 1861. The Arkansas member got warmed up and began to talk about the power of the confederacy. He made the statement that its soldiers had thrashed the Union army in the first six battles of the war. He got still warmer as he went on, and suddenly Smith of Michigan sprung the question, "Are you defending the rights of the states to secede?" Dinsmore came to himself like a flash. "Ah, Brother Smith," he said. "how you would love to lead me into the pit! I have an abiding affection for you, but neither my feet nor my tongue shall go astray for the benefit of the Republican party." Everybody knows what a stickler the senate is for courtesy. Courtesy has a seat at every desk. When one senator refers to another, whether he be a political foe or a political friend, it is always as the "distinguished gentleman from Maryland," or from Maine or another state, as the case may be. Senator Tillman said a fairly good thing one day. It was a side remark, but it reached the gallery and was enjoyed by the auditors, who had become a bit weary of resisting the impulse to saitam every time a senator rose and handed a few verbal flowers to a colleague. Senator Bailey had just referred to the "distinguished senator from Maine. "Quit it," said Tillman, "you'll distingush them all till they're so stuck up that no one else can distinguish them one from the other." When James Wilson came to Washington as secretary of agriculture he undertook a bit of self-description by saying to a caller: "I am what they call a hayseed." It should be noted that Mr. Wilson did not say that he was a hayseed. He has the Scotch Presbyterian habit of sticking to the truth even in his humor. It was rumored once that in order to evade the laws of this country certain great companies were planning to take out corporation papers abroad. The matter was called to the attention of the agricultural member of Mr. Roosevelt's cabinet. His comment was this: "We have laws; we have petit juries; we have grand juries; we have a department of justice; we have courts, and we have penitentiaries." Then Mr. Wilson smiled just a little grimly and refused to discuss the subject further. He couldn't have said anything that would have added one lota to his meaning, and he knew it. There is no waste of words in the conversation of James Wilson. Secretary Wilson unquestionably would be a success as a managing editor of a great newspaper. He knows news. When the Beveridge packing-house investigation measure had passed congress and Secretary Wilson was in the west on a tour of inspection, he was asked by a newspaper man at the close of one of the secretary's busiest days in Chicago what the news was. Mr. Wilson said: "Sit down and I'll give you the news and nothing else. These things have been done within the last few days and not one of them has been touched on in the newspapers. The rest of the stuff is ancient history." JAMES WILSON, SECY OF AGRICULTURE "THE AUGUST TRIBUNAL" JEN.

On paper only importance to the country is so great that its proper place is near the head of the governmental.

When a newspaper man goes to see the secretary in Washington he knows that if he gets one word beyond the ordinary interchange of "pleasant day" courtesies he is going to get something worth publishing. Mr. Wilson having been in office for several years and being a keen student, has discovered that certain things are published and certain things are not published. He has learned how to save himself time and words. In the parlance of the press, Mr. Wilson is "good copy." Congress appropriated some money to erect a new building for the department of agriculture. Every congress wishes to make a record for economy. So it was that the amount appropriated was not sufficient to put up a structure that would meet the future demands of a rapidly growing branch of the government. The secretary of agriculture knew it, and so, with a certain shrewdness that was all for the good of the country and the service, he saw to it that the money was put into two comparatively small structures. The two taken together will be big enough for present uses, but in order that they shall form a complete and artistic whole it will be necessary one day to join them, and the connecting, link will be a big building in itself. The argument for more room is apparent and convincing. The agricultural department will get more building money from congress, and get it soon, and the anger that was aroused at first by the secretary's shrewdness will be turned to laughter and to something much like admiration. The Iowa farmer's successors in office will have to thank him for removing a mountain of trouble from their paths. As government departments rank, the one devoted to the promotion of agriculture stands next to the foot of the list. This is on paper only. Its importance to the country is so great that men say its proper place is near the head of things governmental. The passage of the packing-house inspection and the pure food laws have increased the working duties of Mr. Wilson's department immensely. Secretary Wilson sheds trouble. He is a good deal of an optimist, and when difficulties arose over cotton crop matters, and there seemed imminent danger that a scandal would result, there was no signs of worry on the secretary's part. President Roosevelt felt implicit confidence in the cabinet official who had come to him as a heritage from the McKinley administration, and there is no doubt whatever that he expressed his confidence personally. In one respect the secretary of agriculture holds himself to be particularly fortunate. Possibly he doesn't consider it to be a really a matter of good fortune except at such times as he sees the trouble of his fellow cabinet officials who are more than suspected of having presidential ambitions. Presidential politics personally do not worry James Wilson. The constitution of the United States keeps such worry from him, for the secretary was born on the slopes of the Ayshire Hills in Bonnie Scotland, and on man from over the water can sit in the chief chair of the nation. Defective Page WAR ON PHOSSY JAW Frightful Disease That Attacks the Match Workers. Caused by the Absorption of Phosphorous Through the Teeth or Gums and Agonizing Death Often Results. Washington—In 1909 the American Association for Labor Legislation, in co-operation with the United States bureau of labor, investigated the match industry in America, and in May, 1910, the result was published in Bulletin 86 of the bureau of labor. The investigation showed that "phossy jaw" has attacked large numbers of match workers, and that 65 per cent of all employed in the match industry are liable to contract the disease, while 95 per cent. of the women, and 83 per cent. of the children are so exposed. And the list of victims is growing month by month. The disease is caused by the absorption of phosphorous through the teeth or gums. Inflammation is set up, which extends along the jaw, killing the teeth and bones. The gums become swollen and purple, the teeth loosen and drop out, and the jaw bones decompose, passing away in nauseating pus., which sometimes breaks through the neck in the form of an abscess, or oozes into the mouth. When the disease is once established, a surgical operation is usually the only means of arresting it. Entire jaws have been cut out, and agonizing deaths occasionally result. The stench from the decomposing bones is indescribable, and is so nauseating that dentists and physicians alike avoid patients suffering from "phossy jaw." There are several cheap and harmless substitutes 'or the poisonous phosphorus. Probably the cheapest and best of them is sesquisulphide of phosphorus, an invention of French chemists, the patent being owned until recently in this country by the Diamond Match company. This com- A Victim of "Phossy Jaw." pany, following its promise to the United States bureau of labor, granted the use of the patent to other manufacturers at cost price. But a cry of "monopoly" was raised that threatened the success of legislation against the poison. 'he Association for Labor Legislation then induced the Diamond company to assign its patent to three trustees—Charles P. Nell, commissioner of labor; E. R. A. Seligman, professor of Columbia university, and Jackson H. Ralston, attorney for the Americas Federation of Labor. As even this extraordinary step did not satisfy some people, the owners were induced to cancel the patent in order that "phossy jaw" might be abolished. Realizing the terrible mercy to the health, comfort and safety of the match workers; realizing the menace to public safety afforded by easy access to so deadly a poison, knowing the unanimous experience of leading European countries, that has led them absolutely to prohibit the use of the poison; and knowing how readily available are cheap and harmless substitutes, the Association for Labor Legislation urges that the use of white phosphorus in match composition be restrained by means of a prohibitive tax. Wanted 60 Years for Pay. San Francisco, Cal.-After waiting 60 years, A. G. Lafferty, a California pioneer, 82 years old, will be recompensed by the state of California for mules and supplies advanced California soldiers who fought under Captain Liscom in the Indian outbreak in Trinity county in 1851. For 20 years he saw his claim turned down by one legislature after another. Once it passed both houses, but was vetoed by the governor. In addition to his loss of fortune he became crippled, suffering an injury which cost him an arm, and not long ago his house burned down. The $1,000 which the state will now give him includes no interest. He did not ask that. Alaska's Fishing Industry. Alaska's fishing industry, next in importance to mining, gives employment to 12,588 persons of whom 2,823 are natives. In the last five years the territory has sent us a wealth of $43,000,000 in salmon alone. The total output of fish in 1910 was worth $11,81,388. THE APPEAL STEADILY GAINS BECAUSE: 4-It is the organ of ALL Afro-Americans. 5-It is not controlled by any ring or olique. 6-It asks no support but the people's. RARE RELIC OF CIVIL WAR Sycamore, Ill.—Of all the war-time pictures, probably there are few warer pictures than the accompanying print which has been preserved by S. T. Armstrong of this place. The sack of flour shown on the shoulder of the man in the picture was used to raise more than a million dollars for the famous sanitary commission, organized by Dr. Henry W. Bellows, Boston, during the last years of the Civil war. The object of the commission was to relieve suffering among Union soldiers of the northern army. The scheme to raise funds for the commission by selling and reselling a AUSTIN SANITARY Million Dollar Sack of Flour. sack of flour originally worth $15 was the outcome of an election bet in Austin, Nev. This town was holding an election to decide the matter as to whether it would incorporate. On one side of the question was a man named Gridley, shown in the picture, and on the other was one Herrick. Gridley agreed that if the election went against him, he would carry on his shoulder a sack of flour and keep step to the tune of "Old John Brown," played by a life and drum band trailing after him, the line of march being from one side of the town to the other. Herrick agreed to do the same thing if it was decided contrary to his hopes, only the band was to play "Dixie." There was a deal of war time feeling mixed up in the matter. Gridley's side lost out and so there was a time set for him to pay his electoin bet. After he had delivered the goods, Gridley at once offered to buy the flour back for $25 and Herrick at once took him up. At this point Mr. Armstrong, who at that time was a citizen of the place, offered to give $30 for the trophy, falling in with Herrick's proposition to turn the money over to the fund of the United States Sanitary commission. This was the start of the movement that ultimately ended in swelling the charitable fund to $1,000,000 throughout the country. WHERE INDIANS MADE PEACE Unitarian Church at Taunton, Mass., Marks Scene of an Early Treaty With Redskins. Taunton, Mass.—Among the religious edifices of Taunton, none is more important in its historical associations than the Unitarian church, whose site marks the scene of the settlers' council with King Philip, immediately after that great warrior had been proclaimed sachem of the Indian tribes of Massachusetts in 1662. His promise, however, to continue the friendship then existing with the Unitarian Church at Taunton. colonists, was broken 13 years later, when, provoked by the encroachments of the whites, he devastated the New England settlements, finally meeting his own death at the hands of a faithless Indian in 1678. It is a significant fact however, that Taunton, which was originally known by the Indian name of Cohannet, was spared the harrowing details of the war, but whether it was because of the treaty or because of the fact that the town with its surroundings had been the special hunting ground of King Philip, was never known. Rules for Longevity Brockton, Mass.—A set of "rules for long life," compiled by Mary Mary Scriggens, famed as the oldest woman in Massachusetts, includes the following: "Do lots of hard work—fifteen hours a day is not too much; abstain from idle gossip; never flirt, for it is a useless waste of energy; do not read novels; anshish the vanity of dress; keep away from dances and shows." $2.40 PER YEAR. Among the Quaint Survivors of Another Age Is This Primitive Form of Time Register and Hour Glass. Canton, China—Threading the narrow, dark, winding streets of Canton it is easy for the traveler to imagine that he has been suddenly transported into some forgotten century. There is no large city visited by the tourist that is so entirely native in its aspect—that is so entirely immersed in its own peculiar civilization. Canton looks practically the same today as it must have looked nearly six centuries ago when the celebrated Venetian adventurer, Marco Polo, visited it and wrote his vivid descriptions of its many curiosities. Among the quaint survivals of another age the famous water clock must take a prominent place. This is a primitive form of time register and hour glass worked by water. To visit it the stranger makes his way along the picturesque and crowded street of the double gateway in the old city. Here are the largest and most fashionable book stores, and it is this street that is the most favorable haunt of the literati. The double gateway itself pierces a section of a very fine old wall dating from the seventh or eighth century and above it is seen the curious erection in which the Sleepsydra, or water clock, is housed. This consists of four large copper jars mounted on steps one above the other in such fashion that when the top one is filled the water flows very slowly, drop by drop, into the next one and then on into the lowest. In this last one is a float to which it attached an indicator or measure. It Water Clock and Attendant. takes exactly a day of 12 hours for the contents of the top jar to be emptied completely into the lowest. As the water steadily rises in this last receptacle the float points to the hour marked on the indicator. The archaic time guage was first erected about 1324 A. D. It has a history full of incidents; it has been destroyed many times during invasions from without and riots within the city. But it has always been restored, so that today, in spite of the advances made in mechanical methods of measuring time, we find the old water clock in practical use as it was 500 years ago. For at intervals during the day (more or less) correct time is exhibited on a board outside the building and the native Chinese are quite content to pin their faith to this unique servant of old Father time. More Dogs In France. Paris.—There are more dogs in France than most countries. Thus it appears that to one thousand inhabitants there are 75 dogs in France and only 38 in England, 31 in Germany and 11 in Sweden. Still hydrophobia is extremely rare in the Department of the Seine, the last case observed dating back to the year 1905. Dr. Martel says this good state of things has been brought about by the law for killing not only every mad dog, but also for killing every dog any mad dog may have bitten or played with. But since this law cannot work out to perfection the French also exterminate all stray dogs. No Longer Have Small Feet. Boston, Mass.—Women's feet are growing larger. A Massachusetts shoe manufacturer is authority for the assertion. He says a few years ago the average feminine American buyer of footwear asked for a No. 4. Nowadays most women take a No. 5 or a No. 6, and in some cases, it is whispered, even larger sizes. The width is greater, too. The man of lasts and pegs thinks the increasing activity of women in the last few years and their taller stature, vouched for by investigators, responsible for the passing of small feet.

Copyright 1909, by Harris & Ewing. SATURDAY, JUNE 17, 1911. HARRIET BEECHER STOWE. All over the United States this week, Afro-Americans have been celebrating the one-hundredth anniversary of the birth of the author of "Uncle Tom's Cabin," the greatest American work of prose fiction. No book ever written has approached it in the influence it had on the history of its time. It was fiction and yet it was founded on fact. Every incident set forth in the wonderful story has a basis of actual fact. There are thousands of former slaves living today who have experienced the conditions as narrated by Mrs. Stowe. Thousands of black men and yellow men, many of whom were sons of their masters by slave women, there are, whose backs bear the marks of the masters' cruel lash. Many things contributed to the final overthrow of slavery, but the most powerful influence was Mrs. Stowe's portrayal of the woes of Uncle Tom, which awoke the slumbering consciences of the people, and in a little more than ten years after the appearance of the book, the blot of slav- A.

THE NEW YORK TIMES Appointed Assistant Superintendent of Indian and Negro Schools, Mr Vernon's Headquarters Will Be in Washington, D.C. ery had been erased from the nation's escutechon. The centenary of Mrs. Stowe's birth finds slavery forbidden in all civilized lands. Afro-Americans do well to honor the memory of Harriet Beecher Stowe. HAS THE RIGHT IDEA. F. O. 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 improvement 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 citizens. 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 is not wise for the Afro-American 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-Americans or only a few at least, and then by living a clean, thrifty life and acquiring property, working hard at some occupation that he is fitted to do, and win the respect of his white neighbors. "The Afro-American is always bettered 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 a special mark of distinction 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 their 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 because 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 political life of the new community, intending to be a good neighbor, doing all that a good citizen should to advance the best interests of the community, supporting always the best man for office, regardless of politics. That they have elected me to office is perhaps due to the fact that others have been too busy 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 association is composed of practically the whole body of taxpayers." The short sighted Afro-American who insist upon segregating themselves 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 communities. The benefits of a Negro colony are outweighed by its many disadvantages. "CHARACTER BUILDING." "Those which we style the natural virtues, such as justice, truth, candor, honesty, generosity, the social obligations, etc., form the groundwork both of good citizenship and genuine religion. Without them neither Church nor State can thrive. They are the best bulwarks of democracy. In a community destitute of them, public and official corruption are bound to prosper. Where they flourish strong and vigorous, oppression and graft are foredoomed to speedy death." The foregoing is from the Baltimore Sun, published in that hotbed of injustice, dishonesty and race prejudice. If there is anything needed in that God-forsaken city, it is character. Many of its Caucasian inhabitants, although nominally Christians, spend a lot of their time in devising schemes to humilate and injure their Afro-American brethren; the segregation law recently enacted being a sample of their efforts in that direction. We trust that the efforts of the Sun to build up character may be successful, in order that the natural virtues may prosper and "oppression be foredoomed to speedy death." Some of the New York newspapers and the unfair Associated Press made a great "to do" over the departure of Jack Johnson, the champion puglist, and his wife, who sailed for Europe on the Kronprinz Wilhelm. Now comes Paul Tausig, the steamship agent, who booked the fighter, and says that his identity was known to the North German Lloyd Company for fully a month prior to the sailing of the ship. Therefore it could not have been a surprise to the officials of the line when the steamer sailed. An Afro-American has been lynched in Mississippi "by his own race for denouncing the cruelty of white slaveholders before the war." PRESIDENT AND MRS. TAFT Invite Four Thousand to Their Silver Wedding Anniversary Next Monday White, Boy Balks at Being Sworn in by an Afro-American Official. Register Napier Occupies New Offices. President Taft Thanked for His Christian Attitude. News From the Capital City. Washington, D. C., June 15, 1911—William H. Lewis, of Boston, whose case has been hanging fire in the Senate for two months, was confirmed Thursday as assistant attorney general of the United States. Some Southern Democratic Senators made a strong fight against Lewis, alleging various reasons, the real trouble being the race question. The Afro-Americans of the country are very grateful to President Taft for appointing Lewis to the highest office ever held by one of the race. Society and many, other organizations commend the President's stand in this matter. Made to take a solemn oath by Jefferson Davis, that he would hide the seal of the Confederacy in some spot where it could not be found, and never disclose its whereabouts, James Jones, an Afro-American, former valet to Davis, and now an employee of the Senate document room, declares that there is not enough money in the world to make him break his The third silver wedding, celebration of a President will be observed next Monday evening, when President and Mrs. Taft will give a reception in honor of the twenty-fifth anniversary of their marriage. It will probably be the biggest function ever given at the White House. It is generally regretted that Mrs. Taft's health will prevent her from attending the reception. Register of the Treasurer, J. C. Napier, is now occupying his new office on the first floor of the Treasury Building. It is directly under the office of the Secretary of the Treasury and overlooks the White House grounds. The room has been redecoated and reformed and everything is in harmony with the official who occupies it. All of the other rooms of the Register's office are being repainted and reformed, and will be ready about July 1. Declaring that the President's position in publicly reprimanding Col. Garrard against a Jew in the United States Army, is a "fair-minded and Christian attitude," the Howard Park Citizens' Association passed resolutions thanking President Taft. The Tuskegee Alumni Association, of which Lawyer J. L. Taylor is president, will give a banquet in July. Six heroes were presented medals by President Taft today, for bravery on the battlefield North Dakota, on the occasion of the explosion at Hampton Roads. The President was deeply moved as he reviewed the deeds of the brave seamen, and his voice broke twice. A granite monument will be placed over the grave of the late George Walker, the comedian, who is buried at Lawrence, Kan. A large sum was realized for this purpose at the benefit given at the New Howard Theatre, here recently. Indicement have been returned in the Federal Court of West Virginia, at Charleston, charging peonage against the officials of the Glen Alum Fuel Company, a coal mining concern.

Vernon, former Register of the Treasury, recently appointed Assistant Superintendent of the Schools of the Indians and Negroes, will not be permanently assigned to any one state, but will cover all states in which such schools are located. "I'd rather lose my pay for several days than take the oath of office from a black man!" exclaimed Hez. Williams, a young boy from Dunn, North Carolina, when he confronted Aaron Russell, Afro-American clerk at the Capitol, and was about to be sworn in as a page on the floor of the House. And the boy actually lost several days pay before he connected with the pay clerk and the oath of office. The organized militia of the District of Columbia will go into camp August 19-27. Capt.

Waldron, Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, Mr. L. M. Hershaw, Mrs. Carrie A. Clifford, Bishop A. Waters and other prominent Washingtonians, are greatly interested in the "National Association for the Advancement of Colored People," which was incorporated in New York a few days ago.

It is said that the Department of Justice is getting ready to attack, under the Sherman law, two of the greatest corporations and alleged combinations in restraint of trade in the country. These are the United States Steel Corporation and the International Harvester Company. The facts are that the Department of Justice is getting ready to prosecute both. These prosecutions will please the farmers. Mrs. Anna E. Murray has returned from a Southern trip. She addressed the Conference at Atlanta University on "The Kindergarten as the Solution of the Race Problem."

The Chicago Board of Trade, the International Sunshine Society and many other organizations commend the President's stand in this matter. Made to take a solemn oath by Jefferson Davis, that he would hide the seal of the Confederacy in some spou where it could not be found, and never disclose its whereabouts, James Dixon, American, former valet to Davis, and an employee of the Senate document room, declares that there is not enough money in the world to make him break his trust. Museums, patriotic societies and public-spirited individuals have offered him small fortunes for his knowledge, but he has refused to betray his secret. Senator William Lorimer, of Illinois, will remain in Washington until the vote is taken on his case, following a reinvestigation of his election. He has announced his willingness to appear before the committee in his own behalf whenever the committee fixes a date. The Senator is preparing to fight the case vigorously. He said today that he had retained as his counsel ex-Judge Elibridge Haney, of Chicago, who looked after his interests in the previous Senate investigation. Mr. Louis G. Gregory, who has just returned from Ramleh, Egypt, where he went to meet Abdul Baha, the Bahal prophet, lectured Monday night before a large audience at Lincoln Temple, giving an interesting account of his journey, and his audience with the "Master." Mr. Gregory is a forceful and eloquent speaker, and he held the attention of his audience for nearly two hours. The Bahal revelation was written by W. W. Robinson, and as its basis is the absolute equality of all persons, regardless of color or creed, the most intelligent Afro-Americans in the city are encouraging the movement.

Bush, a member of the Executive Committee of the National organization, is the leading spirit in all of the activities now being made for the coming meeting, and is especially anxious to have Northern members of the League present in large numbers. "It is no further from New York to Little Rock than it is from Little Rock to New York, and Arkansas has always been largely represented at every meeting of the National Organization." Mr. Bush assures the Northern members that the progress which the colored people of Arkansas have made will fully warrant their coming South in large numbers. The railroads have already consented to make an attractive rate for this coming meeting, and delegates are especially urged to give attention to the matter of arranging for Pullman or tourist car parties.

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 pay under both. There is no law compelling them to receive THE APPEAL, but there is hardly any pay one to pay for it who receives it, 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. Children's Day at Pilgrim Baptist church last Sunday was admirably observed. The pupils of the school exhibited a wonderful knowledge of the Bible, much of which they had committed to memory.

There was a splendid crowd present that was highly entertained by the excellent work of the boys under the guidance of Mr. Henry Crawford, their physical director. The boys showed great proficiency in their work and received rounds of applause as they proceeded. The program consisted of: Dumb bell drill, club; boxing bout, Kennedy and Brown wrestling bout, P.

This was the fourth annual and of course the best entertainment the club has given. Manager Rolling got out a very nice 8-page program containing sixteen spaces for advertising and the fact that fourteen of these were occupied by our own people is substantial evidence of their interest in the club. The other two spaces were occupied by dealers in athletic outfits who thus showed their appreciation of the patronage they had re- Jolly Shirt Waist Party BOWLBY HALL COR.
