As has been said, open-air plays and pageants that tell it story have been annual events in Europe time out of mind. The best-known of these, of course, is the world-famous Passion Play which is held once every ten years and which thousands upon thousands of Americans witnessed during the last past presentation.

At the height of Washington's fame there were those who carped and criticised to some extent, warning him that being a celebrity was a precarious thing and that he should be most careful, lest he do or say something that would turn the tide of popular fame against him. To those admonitions Washington merely smiled. "There is just one thing that might be done," he said, "and that is something that will not be done until long after I am dead. By that time my fame will be so solidified that nothing can make it. If we were, sufficiently advanced in commerce for this one thing to happen, then, indeed, I should be careful." "What is that one thing?" inquire the others. "Put you in a historical novel." "No; name a five-cent cigar for me." WILBUR D. NESBIT. Trials of Life in a Small Town.

Companies of amateurs and organizations of professionals have presented Shakespeare's plays in sylvan surroundings in various parts of the country—as for instance has annual event of this kind on the White House lawn at Washington, but for the most part these events introduce original productions and in most instances not only is the dialogue original but the music has been specially composed and the dances specially arranged for that period. The most notable example is MacDowell in 1910—that held at the home of the late Edward MacDowell in New Hampshire—the musical masterpieces of America's most famous composer were specially arranged to form a musical setting for the open-air drama.

Great Pile of Masonry Which Survived the Disastrous Fire of 1871 Very Rich in Romance and Tradition. Chicago—Shall the oldest landmark of the north side, a spot rich in tradition and romance, the only remaining monument of the time of Chicago's victory in her greatest struggle for life, be profaned by a city's commercialism and destroyed in the name of economy? Shall the silent sentinel of stone, the silent towered tower where sweet-hearts were wont to meet, where children played and heard wondrous stories of other days, be reduced to a狮eless mass of stone and scattered all over the city? Is it not possible to preserve the picturesque gray tower of the old Chicago avenue pumping station to posterity to serve as a memorial of the great fire of 1871? These are a few of the questions raised by scores of Chicagoans who had read of the plan to tear down the tower of the Chicago avenue pumping station in the interest of municipal economy. This ancient landmark stands at the foot of "Millionaire row." North of the famous old structure are the homes of the rich. Since 1867 the tower has stood as a constant reminder of the permanence of the work of the city's founders. Members of the Chicago Historical society stern storm of protest against tearing down the tower. They were unanimous in the sentiment that THE WATER TOWER Chicago Water Tower. this landmark should be preserved and made one of the show places of Chicago. Chicago began to burn, the evening of October 8, 1871, stricken citizens died north to the tower, in the belief that the fire would be confined to a narrow district. The following day the fire reached the tower and roared about its base, destroying the machine shop and adjacent buildings. The pumping engines were stopped and the walls of the engine house began to crumble. The roof and floors of the other buildings were burned, and the frames ran northward. The great pile of masonry was preserved when repairs were made, and since that day has been rich in tradition and romance. Many stories of the tower deal with the romances of some of the richest sons and daughters of Millionaire row. An eloping couple is said to have been married at the top of the tower. In the days of old thousands of young men and maledens wandered to the summit to plight their truth. The door of the tower were locked long ago. The only magic key that will unlock the door is in the keepses of the city authorities. The city authorities hold now that disintegration has begun and the tower must go. This theory is denied by members of the Chicago Historical society, who declare that the tower was built to stand 10,000 years and that there is no danger of its crumbling. Hundreds of visitors gave in awe at the old tower every day. GIRL HAS QUEER MONUMENT. Fantastic Conception Is Memorial to Daughter, Who Was Her Father's Idol. Bloomington, Ill.—In the rural cemetery known as Pleasant Ridge in Platt county, Illinois, a short distance southeast of Bloomington, there stands a stately monument which is one of the most remarkable conceived by man. Perhaps in all the graveyards of the world, there is no more A Unique Tombstone. fantastic conception as a memorial to loved ones who have passed to the other shore. The devotion that Hannah the Mark, a simple minded but wealthy farmer, displayed toward his daughter, Mary, stands out prominently with every event in her life: the stone engraver. When she died at age 60 he decided to perpetuate upon the family monument not only the dates showing the birth and death of each member, but also some verses of poetry appropriate, and also in the case of the daughter, reproductions of animals and farm scenes. Everything that the girl loved in life was to be reproduced upon her monument with account according to the directions of the daughter. Her entire existence was spent on the farm and she knew but little of the wide world outside. She was passionately fond of the pursuits of agriculture and of domestic life as she experienced it upon her father's farm. She was the apple of her father's eye and her untimely death broke his heart. He soon followed her to the grave, but not until he had intimate instructions concerning his monument and affections of the daughter and also some "epitaphs concerning his wife and himself. The daughter's favorite expression was, "Now, ma, let us go to sleep," and "Get ready, ma, now let us go," and others similar. These were ordered carved upon the huge shaft of granite together with no less than fifty symbols showing objects on the farm, among them being the following: Side saddle, pair of scissors, thimble, violin, copies of love letters, owl, fish, horse, cow, turkey, hen, rooster, dog, cat, grain crib, plow, fence, house, bird, etc. It required months of patient labor upon the part of the monument maker to compete this strange monument. So old man's reverence toward his daughter was extreme, is indicated in the unique manner in which he has sought to perpetuate her peculiarities. He doubtless believed in his simple way that this would please her. Relatives objected strenuously against the erection of such a remarkable monument, but the whim of the old man could not be disregarded and it stands conspicuously in the rural cemetery, an object of extraordinary interest.

OLD VAN LEW HOUSE Noted Virginia Mansion Gives Way to a School. Home of the Famous Woman Spy is to Be Torn Down and Replaced by Educational Institution. Richmond, Va.—The purchase of the Van Lew house by the city of Richmond as the site of a public school building seals its fate, and the Richmond home of Elizabeth Van Lew, "the woman who more than any other aided the United States government during the Civil war" will soon exist only as a memory and a tradition. In 1824 Lafayette was the house guest of Dr. Adams, a former mayor of Richmond, who built the house while Chief Justice Marshall, Governor Smith—one of the victims of the burning of the Richmond theater in 1813—with the like were frequent visitors there. In 1843 it was bought by John Van Lew of New York, then a successful Richmond hardware merchant. While the Federal army hovered about Richmond Miss Van Lew was in close touch with its commanders and flowers cut from the beautiful garden in the morning adorned Grant's table at the evening meal. She spied upon the Confederate agents, civil and military, establishing her deputies as servants in the household of Jefferson Davis, and through them acquaintingly herself with his cabinet conferences. This information, put in cipher and concealed between an outer and inner shoe sole, was smuggled through the lines by a negro employed on a farm below the town. She was in constant communication with the inmates of Libby prison, supplying them with implements with which to work their Miss Van Lew and Her Home. way out, and harboring them until an opportunity offered to elude the Confederate pickets, and aided Colonel Straight, the noted raider, who tunneled an underground passage, and with 100 men escaped. Suspected throughout of disloyalty, had been taken at first fully known after until after her death from ex-Federal officers whom she had harbored came to the house and disclosed the receptacles of her correspondence with Grant and the chamber beneath the eaves, entered through an opening cut in the partition and concealed by a piece of furniture. When Richmond was evacuated Grant sent his aldee-camp, Colonel Parke, to protect her property. After the death of Miss Van Lew's mother, he brought with his two daughters lived with her, but the brother with one of these died, leaving a single niece to share her solitude. After a lingering illness from tuberculosis, she, too, passed away in September, 1900. She was a suffragist, and on the plea that taxation without representation is tyrannous, refused to pay the assessment on the property, the arrears at the settling up of the estate amounting to $5000. She fell into a garden and silent house with its solitary taper were spooky places at night. The house, covered with mortgages, was bought by the Virginia club, and the club continued a popular rendezvous until the expense of its maintenance necessitated the closing of the doors. The house next assumed the role of a sanitarium. The general interest in the place by tourists necessitated the display of prohibitive signs. ONE CENTURY FOR CHURCH Boston, Mass.—In an address before the Free Religious Association of America here Dr. Algeron S. Crapsey deposed Episcopal clergyman, declared the Protestant church will be dead by the end of this century. He also said that the Protestant church is bankrupt intellectually and cannot get decent men to serve it. Some of his statements were: "The tendency today is out of all churches into the great company of non-churchgoers. There is no need of carrying religion to Chinese, who will soon be showing that we are barbarians in our methods. The doctrine ofolution has taken the place of the doctrine of creation. There are 60,000,000 persons in America who do not go to church." Dr. Crapsey is the Episcopal clergyman who was deposed by Bishop Walker, of the Central New York diocese, because of his alleged heretical views. HAVE YOU READ THE APPEAL?

"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 hotted 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 humiliate 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." The alleged Christians in South Africa, who have proved to be experts in drawing the color line politically, have introduced it into the church as the following will show: "One of the clauses of the Dutch Reformed Churches Bill provides that in the United Church colored members of the Cape Church today will not be entitled to membership of the United Church in a neighboring Province. On this vital clause, which at the outset Mr. Louw, who is in charge of the Bill, declared to be an absolute essential to the Union of the Churches in the various Provinces, issue was joined, and a most memorable and dramatic debate resulted. Broadly, the supporters of the clause, prominent among whom was the Prime Minister, defended it on the ground that it followed the principle laid down in the Act of Union. The clause was --- WILLIAM H. HARRIS HON. JAMES S.

Cotteral of the United States District Court at Oklahoma City, Okla., has overruled the demurrier of defendants in the case of the United States against four election officers, holding the "grandfather clause" amendment to the state constitution invalid, because it is in violation 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 previous condition of servitude." To make the subsection of certain individuals to the "educational test" dependent on their condition before 1866 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 Italian author, has written a book on "The Dawn of Mediterranean Civilization," Copyright B. L. C. H. W. S. 1907 In his speech at the commencement exercises at Brown University, Providence, R. I., Hon. Charles Nagel said: "The initiative sounds plausible," said Secretary Nagel. "The basis of the suggestion is that legislative bodies do not respond to the actual demands of the people. I think that if there is a weakness in representative bodies, they should so ready response to superficial popular demand.

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 Aslatic influence. Before the Pharaohs came—that is, before 3000 B. C.—the customs and beliefs of the dynastic periods were well started. Mosso says naturalists are agreed in admitting the preponderating influence of Africa upon the population of Europe. From Africa man probably passed to Europe, and in the Stone Age had increased so as to form a considerable population. Certain scientists have for years declared that the fair races have always dominated their darker brethren and civilization came through them alone, so THE APEAL may be pardoned for expressing great satisfaction at the fall of the ARYAN theory. Herman Bernstein, the author, who has just returned from his annual visit to Russia, states that the plight of the Jews in Russia was never so bad as now, is steadily growing worse and that the world would be amazed if the true condition of the Jew in Russia became known.

Washington DC A WEEK IN WASHINGTON (From The Appeal Bureau.) Washington, July 6, 1911. Taft Appointe Gen. Armstrong's Son. One of the successful candidates for appointment as midshipmen in the navy who were designated by President Taft as candidates-at-large in the competition in which seventeen entered for the six vacancies was Daniel Armstrong, son of the late Gen. Armstrong, son of the late Gen. Armstrong, the civil war veteran, who founded the Hampton Institute for Afro-Americans and Indians, at Hampton, Va. Young Armstrong called at the White House just before President Taft left the city for Beverly personally to thank him. By an interesting coincidence while the President was chatting with Midshipman Armstrong Booker Washington entered the room and was delighted to be presented to the son of his former patron. It was to Gen. Armstrong at Hampton that Booker Washington, just escaped from slavery, made his way barefooted, and from him he received the first encouragement. African Chief Preaches Sermon. A stirring sermon on "The Good Samaritan" was delivered to a large audience Sunday night at the People's Congregational church, by Rev.

Lewis, the new Assistant Attorney General, was given a banquet in Boston last Friday night by the citizens of that city, at Young's Hotel, a high class place. Covers were laid for seventy-five.

Fourteen naval officers have been placed on the retired list by direction of President Taft, upon the recommendation of the elimination board of rear admirals, in accordance with the personnel act of March 3, 1899. This is the largest number of officers ever "plucked" under this law. Christianity at the Capital. Dr. John Clifford, of England, who came to this country to attend the meeting of the World's Baptist Alliance at Philadelphia, was invited to attend a reception given by the Afro-American Baptist ministers of Washington and accepted the invitation. When he arrived at the station in this city he was met by a delegation of white Baptist ministers who informed him that he would "offend the whites if he was present at a function given by Negroes." Dr. Clifford listened courteously to the words of the white Christians (?), but he attended the function of the colored brethren just the same. Spanish War Veterans Thank Taft. A vote of thanks was extended to President Taft Monday night by the United Spanish War Veterans, Department of the District of Columbia, at the final session of their annual encampment in token of their deep appreciation of his presence at the military field mass, held May 28, on the Monument Grounds, in honor of their patriot dead.

Hilles, secretary to the President, has written a letter to John H. Stahl of Chicago, legislative agent of the Farmers' National Congress and editor of the Illinois Farmer, giving the views of Mr. Taft and announcing that the President will recommend in his next message not only the adoption of the parcel post on rural free delivery routes, but also the establishment of a general parcel post. This announcement will be received with pleasure by the people of the country. Dr. Washington talks in Suburb. Dr. Booker T. Washington addressed the Fairmont Heights Civic Association Friday night on "Tearing Down and Building Up." The speech was full of practical suggestions for the upbuilding of the beautiful suburb, which is practically owned by colored people. The town turned out en masse to hear the distinguished educator. Hardtack Banished. Hard tack, from time immemorial the ration of the United States soldier, has been banished in favor of the new ration known as field bread. The new field bread is composed of four, water, salt and yeast, and after being permitted to rise it is baked in a loaf with the ration of diet with the soldier in the future. Henry Lincoln Johnson Speaks. Henry Lincoln Johnson, Recorder of Deeds, was the principal speaker at the meeting at Cosmopolitan Baptist church, Tuesday. This was the last of a series of meetings held to protest against the hanging of Mattie Lomax. Circulated for names were collected and will be presented to President Taft. Exercises at Manassas School. The United Women of Northern Virginia observed their seventeenth anniversary at the Manassas Industrial School Tuesday, with exercises held for the benefit of the chapel and the kitchen of that institution. Patriotic addresses and singing by the Manassas Sunday school were features of the program. The history of the school was given by members of the women's organization. A dinner was served at 1:30 p. m. 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.

The room is open from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Every evening a free lecture will be given by Mr. or Mrs. Davis or some one secured for the purpose at 8:00 p. m. Not to Be Pitied. A traveler passing through the Broad Top mountain district in northern Bedford county, Pennsylvania, last summer came across across a lad of sixteen cultivating a patch of miserable potatoes. He remarked upon their unpromising appearance and expressed pity for any one that had to dig a living out of such soil. "I don't need no pity," said the boy resentfully. The traveler hastened to soothe his wounded pride. But in the offended tone of one who has been misjudged the boy added: "I ain't as poor as you think. I'm only workin' here. I don't own this place." The Right Answer. "What is meant by 'rule of three; pa?" "When a man, his wife and her mother try to run things together."—Judge. Defective Page Knowles Building. Boys' Hall. Stone Hall. Girls' Hall.

Following the suggestions made in the two open letters whieh appear In this issue, concerning the celebration of the 25th anniversary of my editor. ship of THE APPEAL, a few days ago I mailed circular letters to a num- ber of persons concerning the matter and enclosed postal cards for replies. Quite a number have been retursied, enough in fact, to cause me to feel that the people desire the celebration to be held, and that there is no doubt that it will be a grand success, some have even paid the money for there tickets, and { have begun the arrange- ments for holding the same. There fs a number, however, of those to whom the letters were sent that have not returned the cards, as they should have done, as a matter of reciprocal courtesy. ‘They may oxpress ‘thoir sentiments for or against the proposed ‘celebration as their consctencies” di- rect, but they should send the cards. There is no good excuse for not re- turning the cards as the success of the celebration is already, practically, a foregone conclusion, i only wish’ to know who may be placed in the ist lof Patrons and Patronesses and on the various committees and I can, of course, only use the names of those who have returned the cards signity- ing thereon their acceptance of the conditions. If this meets the eye of any one who has received a card and has not returned It he will do both himself and me a favor by signing and mailing the card at once, and thus he will get in on the ground floor.

Requesting the Celebration of the Twenty-fitth 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 Thad the honor, if such it may be" denominated, of being the first editor of THE APPEAL, then known as the “Western Appeal,” Ihave watched its course “with, perhaps, more inteyest than that’ generally evinced by’ others. Having been so closely connected with its. early history, and knowing something of the hardships that surrounded it then, and doubtioss do still, T can lore fully appreciate the elfdrts You have put forth in maintaining it and conducting it on the high plane upon which tt has always stood, than ean those who are not familiar with the business side of it. Since the advent of THE APPEAL there have been a number of publica- tions started in this state under vari- ous auspices that passed from. the field of action after brief and fitful existence, but THE APPEAL is still doing business at the old stand. Now, Mr. Editor, as the’ paper has boon th existence ‘since June 1885, and you became associated with it in 1886, this year is the. twenty-fAtth year of your connection with it: as editor and manager, and I beifeve that this fact should entitle you to sqme special consideration at the hands of the people whom you have served so long and well. Last year, through your efforts, the twenty-fitth anniversary of the birth of the paper was celebrated ina most ‘fitting. manner, and. the entertainment and souvenir edition in connection with that occasion have never been equaled in Minnesota— nor elsewhere, for that matter. Since it was your able manage ment that. maintained the paper some honor and credit is due you; Bada aan one he aaiiahts 0 honor unto those to whom honoF | due.” And I believe the people o! St. Paul, and throughout the state will be.glad to join in celebrating your twenty-ntth anniversary as edit or of THE APPEAL. Your ablé management ‘of the Quarter-Centenalal Celebration. 0 ‘THE APPEAL last yeat, was ween an recognized’ by every One who wa present; and,-{f you, ‘yourself, wil take charge of the matter as you di then, I am confident'that the publi will’ feel satisfied that | everythin that can be done “will be done-t make the occasion’ & grand succes and that with me the people wi willingly say: “Just you go. ahea ‘and,,we'll hold your coat.” ‘Very truly yours, Fete: Minneapolis, Minn April 25, 191 /Mr. Editor; 7 Since the Quarto-Centennial Cele- bration of last September, commem- orating the twenty-fifth anniversary of the birth of THE APPEAL, was such ‘an unprecedented suecess, from every Point of view: and, is remembered, ‘with pleasure, by every one who had the good fortune to be present on that, never-to-be-forgotten, occas sion’ it has occurred to me’ that an- other such an affair would be hailed ‘with delight by-all who were pres- ent, as well as by thoe who. tor Soule reason or another, were de- rived of that blessed privilege; and Who would not miss the opportunity if it was again offered to them. I also recall the fact that the twenty-fifth anniversary of_your as- sociation 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 ore s0.. For, it undoubtedly is ow= ing entirely to your managerial abil- ity 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 seth to me that it will be very fitting and proper for the people of the Twin Cities to show a just recog- nition 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 oh the twenty-fifth an- niversary of your connection with the paper, or, on such other date that in your judgment. is more conveni- ent or suitable. I would therefore suggest, if It meets your approval— as. know it will, the patrons of THE APPEAL and your friends generally —that you proceed to earry out that idea along’ the lines employed in the Quarto-Centennial Celebration of THE APPEAL last year. T have no especial suggestions to | make, as the success of last year's affair, a5 well as many. other social functions that have been under your control toatity to yonr exceptionavle ability to manage them “to a queen's taste," therefore, I feel sure you would carry this to a successful is- sue, if left to follow the bent of your own inclination, Tam satisfied that I voice the sentiments of the people of Afinne- apolis, Respectfully yours, R & Brown, M.D: ‘The famous St. Louis Kitchen, Mrs. Julia Hinson, proprietor, that has been for years located at 317% Wabasha street has been moved to 188 B, Third street whére the same toothsome home cooking and the same excellent service may be found from now on, Prices on everything scems to be going up, and the newspaper publish er 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 pnblished in the papers.
