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. VOL. 27. NO. 32. The GREAT RESCUE TOUR SCUET THE GREAT MINE RESCUE TOURNAMENT UNCLE SAM is going to stand sponsor this autumn for one of the most novel and most interesting competitive contests ever conducted. So far as known no other government in the world has ever conducted such a tournament and it is bound to attract attention far and wide. Moreover this unique event is all the more interesting and all the more commendable from the fact that its purpose is not merely the exploiting of athletic prowess after the fashion of the average "field day." On the contrary its aim and object is the saving of human life and the relief of suffering. It is because of its high purpose, combined with the fact that it is under government auspices, that President Taft, the secretary of the interior, and other high officials and prominent men will be present. after the fashion of the average "field the contrary its aim and object is the human life and the relief of suffering cause of its high purpose, combined with that it is under government auspicesident Taft, the secretary of the interior high officials and prominent men will.

It is designated officially as a National First-Aid-to-the-Injured Field Meet, and it is to concern itself primarily with "first aid" work and relief work as conducted in coal mines where, as every reader knows, there is most urgent need for such humanitarian measures owing to the frightful disasters which occur all too frequently in our coal mines, due to explosions, fires, and cave-ins of rock and earth. The field meet will be held at a place known as Arsenal Park near Pittsburg, Pa. This site has been chosen because it will be convenient of access for the miners and mine rescue workers who will compete in the contests, and because, furthermore, the United States government has at this place an experimental station with all the facilities and equipment at hand for giving exhibitions and con- ducting contests in mine rescue work under approximately the same conditions that would prevail after an actual mine disaster. This inaugural tournament is to be conducted by the U. S. Bureau of Mines,—the newest branch of our national government and an institution which congress recently established under the interior department, especially for the purpose of studying and finding remedies for the mine disasters which have been giving the United States a bad name all over the world for these many years past. However, the Bureau of Mines is going to have influential help in the conduct of the meeting. For one thing the Red Cross is going to co-operate. Now the Red Cross has been coll frequently of late years to lend a some great mine disaster, and it is mental in supporting and educating dren whose fathers were killed in the of the past few years.

Now the Red Cross has been collated on very frequently of late years to lend a hand after some great mine disaster, and it is today instrumental in supporting and educating many children whose fathers were killed in the disasters of the past few years. Thus the Red Cross officials have had brought home to them the need or doing everything possible to save lives in the area, because the number and seriousness of mine accidents. And anyway the Red Cross has become deeply interested in years in first-aid-to-the-injured work of all kinds...so one so that it is now distributing "first aid cabinets" all over the country and has on the road all the while a special car with instructors who travel from town to town enrolling workmen as volunteer Red Cross workers and instructing them in "first aid" work. So that, in view of all this, it is but natural that the Red Cross should want to have a hand in the first field meet to stimulate and familiarize the coal operators, who have much experience through their general organization volunteered to help make the tournament a success. It is expected that from 20,000 to 30,000 miners will attend the Field Day near Pittsburgh on September 16. A number of them will come merely as spectators or because they have been urged to come and profit by the "object lessons" that will be enacted before their eyes, but 'a very large proportion will be entered as contestants in the reader, no doubt to surprise the average men, eligible to entry in such contexts, many men organized rescue work on its present scale was taken up in the mines of this country only a few years ago. Some of the most skillful first aid workers devote their entire time to this occupation. These are the employees stationed on one or another of the U. S. Government's Mine Rescue Cars. The Mine Rescue cars, it need scarcely be explained, are Pullman cars which Ucman Sam purchased a year or two ago, turned over to the newly-created Bureau of Mines, and had transformed into combination school rooms and hospitals on wheels. Each car has a crew of several experts who eat and sleep aboard, like firemen ever ready to respond to an alarm. They and their car have the ability to throw a mine disaster occurs, the cars in that district are carried to the scene and the men on board take the lead in the rescue work. At other times when no emergencies demand their attention the cars can travel routes, visiting one mining town after another just as a traveling circus might do and tarrying for two or three days at each camp, while the experts, by means of demonstrations and "night school" lectures in the car, give instructions to one community as to how to prevent accidents and U 12 ADJUSTING ORGENT TANK UNAIDED ELECTRIC LAMP OUT FOR RES DR. HOLMES CHIEF OF THE U.S. BUREAU OF MINES teers agree to devote enough time to the work to gain more than a superficial knowledge such as is acquired by the rank and file of the miners. Uncle Sam's experts devote any necessary amount of time to instructing the volunteers and the Red Cross and the mine operators have shown a aptitude to them with all the necessary equipment,—expensive though it be. The result of this development of a humanitarian aid in the coal mines has been that we now and at present are required to be "first aid" workers who are thoroughly qualified for their work and who can do just as much for their entombed fellow-workmen or for miners overcome by poisonous gases as could the experts on any of the government mine rescue cars and who are on hand to act immediately without waiting for the arrival of a government car. It is these volunteers who are expected to give zest to the work in Western Pennsylvania. "Teams" of volunteer workers at various mines have been in training for months for the event, working to be able to do each stunt in the shortest possible because in mine rescue work it may happen that there is no second rescue work at hand to assist in changing cylinders and unless a "first aid" man can do this for himself he must leave his work and hurry back to the mouth of the mine for fresh air. Another form of apparatus, and it is a new one which will be demonstrated is the Pulmoter. The Pulmoter is a German invention, and for all that it is so delicate and remarkable in its mechanism that it costs $800. The Pulmoter is, in effect, an automatic breathing machine. It will compel an unconscious man to breath whether he wants to or not and it mechanically draws poisonous gases out of the lungs with one operation and forces the life-giving oxygen with the other. That it is capable of well night performing miracles may be appreciated when it is explained that with this agent for mechanical resuscitation the expert life, miners who had remained unconscious in mines for 26 hours and who had been abandoned as dead. The Danger of the Inferior We are often told that one reason why we should not go down to the inferior things is that they can never satisfy us. But the danger is that they may satisfy us. A boy at school may come to like evil talk and unworthy stories. When he left home such things were unnatural and distasteful to him, but he let him down to them little by little until anything else is uncongenial to him. Our children have come to satisfy him. A popular things have been having heard one woman say to another as they away from an Ibsen play, "I do not like Ibsen. He takes the hope out of life." If she spoke sincerely, it was only because she had brought herself to such an unnatural philosophy. She did not begin life with so unwholesome and untrue a view. In the days that were real and worthy it was hope which made life beautiful. If now she preferred hopelessness it was because her preferences had degenerated, and that had begun to satisfy her which formerly would have been the very depth of darkness to her. This is the peril of the soul's freedom. The way we should involve the capacity to descent, just as we can do with the attainment, discontented with it, to higher things which alone can satisfy us, so we can go backward and downward into tastes, experiences, and THE APPEAL.

The "first aid" tournament is going to have some very realistic features. For one thing there will be provided a "make believe" coal mine, open at one side to the view of the spectators, and in this will occur on signal an explosion just that which occurs in a real mine except that there will be no actual loss of life. However, men will be apparently injured by the shock and overcome by the fumes and will fall in supposedly perilous positions from which they will be rescued by "first aid" men working in double quick just as they would do under the stress of a genuine disaster. These rescue workers will be called to improvise stretches from their jackets and cintures to hurriedly bring to the scene mine hospital cars to the other things they would do in time of serious trouble. Of course, all their operations will have been carried on by means of what illuminator one can obtain from the new pattern of electric safety lamps for it is out of the question to carry into a mine filled with explosive gases any ordinary lantern or lamp with an exposed flame of any kind. Easily one of the most interesting phases of the contests will be the competitions involving the use of the oxygen helmets so called. A helmet of this kind, which may cost as much as $200, may be described as an air-tight, armor-like covering for the head and shoulders which enables a rescue worker to penetrate into mines filled with noxious fumes just as a driver's suit enables its wearer to live and work under water. The air-tight helmet not only excludes the deadly gases of the mine but it supplies its wearer with necessary flow of life-giving oxygen, drawn as needed from metal cylinders of compressed oxygen gas on the back, like a knapsack. The competitions at Pitney-Brown are as to how long a man can work effectively in such a suit of armor and tests as to the ability of the respective wearers of the helmets to detach oxygen cylinders from their backs and replace them with fresh cylinders. This is highly important because in mine rescue work it may happen that there is no second rescue worker at hand to assist in changing cylinders and unless a "first aid" man can do this for himself he must leave his work and hurry back to the mouth of the mine for fresh air. Another form of apparatus, and it is a new one, which will be demonstrated is the Pulmeter. The Pulmeter is a German invention, and for all that it would almost fit into an ordinary suit case, it is so delicate and remarkable in its mechanism that it costs $800. The Pulmeter is, in effect, an automatic breathing machine. It will compel an unconscious man to breath whether he wants to or not and it mechanically draws poisonous gases out of the lungs with one operation and forces in the life-giving oxygen with the other. That it is capable of well high performing miracles may be explained by the expulsion with this agent for mechanical resuscitation the exports of the U. S. Government have brought back life, miners who had remained unconscious in mines for 26 hours and who had been abandoned as dead. character which would once have been utterly repugnant to us, but which have the dreadful power of becoming the soul's desired aim, so that we are satisfied. The soul can shrivel as well as expand. And we must beware of those who tell us that we can go down to anything we wish without fear, that we can throw off the inferior nature, that we wish and return to our native place. We cannot shrink our soul adapts itself to its environment, and we may become so satisfied on the low planes that we shall not discontent. Then our birthright will be gone, and we shall not care to have it back again. The danger of all sin and surrender is that they may stupefy the taste and satisfy it. We do not require the same attalments from all. Some are well taught, some are ill taught, some are not taught at all. Some have naturally good dispositions. Not one has had power to fulfill the law completely. Therefore it is no crime in him if he fails. We reckon as faults those only which arise from idleness; wilfulness, selfishness and deliberate preference of evil to good. Each is judged according to what he has received.—James Anthony Froude. SERVICE FOR MUTES Texas Church Whose Members Are All Deaf. Crying Bables or Late Comers Do Not Disturb This Congregation—Communicants Are of All Creeds and Followings: Worth, Fort Wax,—Sermons with never a spoken word, congregational singing without an audible note of melody, public prayers in which there is no sound, Sunday school teachers whose lips are hurtful. All these are indoctrinal. All the day services of a Fort Worth church. The pastor is not disturbed by crying bables, and the late comers do not take the trouble to tip-toe, but let their heels fall notisly on the uncarpeted floor. The belly that tops the building is purely ornamental, for no member of this unique congregation could hear any bell invented. No church in the United States is like it. It is the only church in the whence those congregation is composed where no deaf mutes live. The sixty or more deaf mutes living in Fort Worth organized the congregation, called the First Evangelical church for the deaf, in 1907. The real founder is the Rev. J. W. Michaels of Lousville, Ky., who is still the pastor, although he can make only four visits a year to his voiceless flock. The building, a neat and substantial structure, was built solely by deaf men, and the carved by the Sunday school superintendent, G. W. Sheppard, who is a skilled woodworker. There is no church debt. None of the members is wealthy, and the congregation has had a hard struggle. But it has won because the members are very proud of having the only deaf mute church in the United States and are correspondingly loyal. The church is interdenominational. Creeds are sunk in the common infirmity. In the roster of 40 members, a half-dozen denominations are represented. The pastor is a Baptist, but Superintendent Shepard Preaching. if a convert is conscientiously opposed to immersion, he does not hesitate to use the sprinkling or pouring method of baptism. Because of the long laps between the visits of the pastor, a large part of the ministerial duties fall upon the Sunday school superintendent. The service begins when Supt. Sheppard mounts the rostrum. First is roll call. With the record before him, the superintendent, by signs, calls off the name of each member, and each person present responds in the same fashion. The Apostles' Creed is recited in unison. The uniformity of gestures is not the result of careful drilling, but comes as naturally to the worshipers as speech to the average person. Supt. Sheppard then delivers a short sermon, taking the Sunday school text for the day for his subject. He is known as an "eloquent man" by the members of the silent congregation. His delivery has an earnestness that impresses even those who cannot understand his signs. He uses the "talks" rapidly, his facile fingers, accompanied by full-arm gestures, working with a speed that takes the attention of his audience. Again, for the sake of emphasis, the words come slowly, lingeringly, from his finger tips, and one may well imagine that he is an adept in his silent art of oratory. The eyes of the members never wander from the speaker, since, through their eyes alone, can they receive his message. At the close of the superintendent's address the congregation "sings" in signs. Most commonly the hymn is familiar to all the members, as the singing would be hindered by holding books. Next, the Sunday school classes take their places. The lesson goes forward as in the ordinary Sunday school, except that the questions and answers are in the sign language. Often ministers with other benediction. Often ministers from other churches in the city preach to the deep mute congregation. A young woman who married a mute, and so acquired a thorough knowledge of the sign language, stands directly behind the visiting speaker and acts as interpreter. As fast as the words are spoken, they are transmitted to the deaf congregation by signs. DUTCH WINDMILL IN KANSAS Only One in the Sunflower State Still Grinds When the Wind Blows. Topeka, Kan.—An old Dutch windmill, the kind one sees in pictures of the canals of Europe, has been in operation in Kansas for 40 years and it is still doing duty, making the festive Kansas zephyr do the work that is ordinarily required of water power or steam. The mill stands on the high prairies at Reamsville, a chain little old village in Smith county. It is 15 miles from a railroad. It was one of the first settlements in the county and many Dutch live on farms near there and their meal and flour is ground as in the old country, by the old windmill. It is the only mill of the kind in the state. One was built Old Dutch Windmill. before the war at Lawrence, but this one was blown down several years ago. The mill was built by Charles Schwarz. He came from Holland. He had been a miller in his native land and when he came to Kansas to seek his fortune on a prairie farm he found it was many miles to a mill. Schwarz saw in this an opportunity for he had been a miller in the old country and the strong winds of Kansas handed him of the ocean winds that swept over the land of Indiana and turn the mills dotted all over that country, so he conceived the idea of making the bold, free winds of the prairie pay toll by turning a mill that should grind the people's grain. But there was no machinery in this country for such a mill, so with great care and pains, he drew on paper drafts of every wheel and cog and lever and bolt, and taken them to Lincoln, Neb., had the plans worked out and the parts forged in the foundry there. And for nearly forty years the old mill had been doing duty, working when the wind blows, resting when the calm comes; teaching the genial master many a lesson in patience furnishing food for the public roundabout; and a competence for the man who saw an opportunity and had the skill and perseverance to accomplish what was, in that day, a really great undertaking. HOOSIER HAS VALUABLE RELIC Tattered Battleflag Believed to Have Been In Revolutionary War Owned by Indianapolis Man. Indianapolis, Ind.—D. L. Mobley, a traveling salesman of this city, possesses a flag which is believed to have seen service during the revolutionary war. The flag is tattered, stained and falling to pieces and was obtained in Stockton, Cal., by Mr. Mobley, who purchased it from a Mexican war veteran. The flag bears 13 stars on a field of blue. The flag came into Mr. Mobley's possession under rather striking circumstances. The salesman was living Relic of 1776. in Stockton, and the morning of July Fourth, during the Spanish-American war, started to a downtown store to purchase a flag to adorn his home. As he was going down the street he happened on the veteran, who was hobbling along with the flag under his arm. Mr. Mobley spoke to the vet, who was trying to sell the flag. The veteran was to be taken to the poor farm that day and the flag was the only thing he owned. Mr. Mobley purchased the flag, from which the veteran parted almost tearfully, and has preserved it.

Modest Death Writer Who, Assumed Pen Name for Fear People"Would Not Hire "Fool Poet" as attorney. Fort Scott, Kan—Kansas lost her poet laureate when Dengue F. Ware died at his summer home in Colorado and western literature lost one of its brightest geniuses. Ware, known as "Ironquill," was a harness maker, lawyer, politician and poet. In the minds of his friends the last should come first, but personally he always belittled his ability as a poet, and instead of being proud of his success he spoke disparagingly of his verses. In this he was alone. He came to this city in 1887 and began to work at his trade as a harness maker, but his success was advertising, so Ware had to do something with his competitor several better by writing his advertisements in verse. This attracted attention and he went to Topeka, where he wrote poetry and studied law, keeping his identity as a poet under his explanation for this was: "I was afraid people wouldn't hire a fool poet for a lawyer. There were plenty of harness make-up, but very few lawyers in Fort Scott the season Ware deserted the stitching room of his shop and took up the study of law. In his profession he was successful. As he practiced law he played the po EUGENE WARS (IRONQUILLE) litical game in a quiet, dignified way, being finally rewarded with an ap- pointment as commissioner of pens. After two years in Washington he returned to Kansas and took up his residence in Kansas City, Kan. Tiring of city life, he retired shortly before his death to Sungold Section, a fine farm he acquired when he first came to Kansas, and there he told his friends he hoped "to die in the open." His plans to die on the farm failed, for he passed away soon after reachability, and he had been in the habit of spending the summer at a place he owned on the Cascade. He was well entitled to the appointment of pension commissioner, for during the Civil war he had a brilliant career covering four years and ending as captain of a troop in the Seventh Iowa cavalry. For one brief period Captain Ware was in the newspaper business. This was in Burlington, Ia., where for a year he was hansomote editor of the Hawkeye and started that paper on its road to celebrity as a funny paper. When Captain Ware retired "Bob" Burdette succeeded him and the paper became much quoted for its funny sayings. Ware was born in 1841 in Hartford, Conn., and was married in 1874 to Miss Jeanette B. Huntington. For many years he was a familiar figure in Topeka during session of the Kan- tering and his wife and humor made him himself a familiar friends and opponents. He was a member of the legislature in the early '80s. When he left the office of pension commissioner he wanted to show his appreciation of 12 heads of departments under him. He bought 12 handsome pieces of silver, exactly alike, called the 12 men into his office where the souvenirs were lined up on a table and the continent. You have been good to me. He was always. The appointment of Warsev to be commissioner of pension was due to Roosevelt's admiration for his poems. In 1900, when Roosevelt was on his way to the southwest to attend a reunion of Rough Riders, he expressed a desire to meet "ironquill" and a message was sent to Ware asking him to meet the train and travel with the president. He did so and the friendship between the Rough Rider colonel and the frontier poet was promptly widened and sincere. Three years later he was appointed commissioner of pensions. He leaves a widow, one son, Eugene F. Ware, Jr., and three daughters, Mrs. Ablele Neiss of New York, Mrs. S. R. Nelson and Miss Amela Ware. Teeth and Baldness Paris, France—According to Dr. Lucen Jacquet, there is a close connection between bad teeth and badness.

ADVOCATES RACE FUSION. Mr. G. C. Hucaby of Baton Rouge, La., has just returned to America after three years at Oxford. Mr. Hucaby is a Rhodes scholar and has been making a study of anthropology during his stay in England. He intends to give his entire attention hereafter to the race question in the South, and for the purpose of carrying on his investigations in this country in a thoroughly scientific manner he will apply to the Carnegie Institute for assistance. Mr. Hucaby's endeavor will be the first organized attempt to give to the world the results of the fusion of the white and black people of the South. This subject has been a very delicate one with the people south of Mason and Dixon's line, who have bitterly opposed any fusion of the races since the Civil war, despite the fact that it was common in slavery days. Mr. Hucaby is a typical Southerner in appearance, tall and lanky with black hair and delicate, thin, pale features. Having had the broadening effects of study and travel to help him in his opinions on this subject, he believes that the fusion of the white A. B. CONGRESS MUST DECIDE.

FRIENDLIER RELATIONS The custodians of the $10,000,000 Carnegie Peace Foundation announced today a campaign of popular education to establish friendlier relations between the United States and Japan. The division of intercourse and education has arranged an exchange, "to give to each people better knowledge of the other, and to help build up a public opinion in both countries that will resist all attempts to arouse antagonism." If the Japanese find this plan necessary to establish friendly relations between the brown man and the white man it would undoubtedly be an excellent scheme for the Afro-American colleges in this country to exchange professors. It would be of great benefit to the students of Vanderbilt University Nashville, Tenn., to have a few lectures by Prof. Kelly Miller of Howard. Prof. Pickens of Talladega could furnish new ideas to students at Washington and Lee University. The white professors could lecture in the Afro-American colleges and in this way friendly relations would be encourag- A BILLIONAIRE A suit involving a billion dollars has been filed in the Court of Claims at Washington by Elbert R. Robinson, an Afro-American of Chicago, Ill., in which the government is made defendant. The action involves the patent rights of an electric signal system which Robinson claims were granted him by the government, and which he claims have been infringed by other patents. Robinson, who is an attorney, will argue his own case when it comes up before the court on Monday. If Robinson wins he will have the distinction of being the first Afro-American billionaire. "YELLOW MEN JUDGE WHITE." The above headline was used in a number of American newspapers in the report of the trial of the American seamen tried and convicted of murder by a Japanese court. The evident intent was to arouse race hostili- try. If white judges in America can sit in judgment on Japanese charged with crime it is right that Japanese judges should try Americans charged with crime in Japan. Now that Georgia has forbidden the Afro-Americans to use the rituals, insignia, etc., of the Pythians and other orders which exist among the whites, we presume the state will next issue an ukase restraining them from calling themselves Methodists or Baptists. When a legislature sets out to make a lunatic asylum of itself it generally succeeds. The "Back to Africa" movement is said to be making great headway but we doubt that it will ever amount to much. Afro-Americans are citizens of this country and they will be accorded all their rights here if they make a determined fight for them. The white people of Pensacola, Fla., who declined the Carnegie library because the money was "tainted" are not so immaculate themselves. In the hearts of the majority of the residents there is a race prejudice worse than "tainted" money. Jack Johnson the pupilist is jobbing Uncle Sam in newspaper interviews in Ireland. The United States may be bad in many respects, but Jack "got his" right here. The money he is now spending so extravagantly he made in America. Every Afro-American business man in the country, who can arrange his affairs so as to attend the Twelfth Annual meeting of the National Business League at Little Rock, Ark., August 16-18, ought to do so. Senator Jonathan Bourne, of Oregon, says, that La Follette's name will be the only one presented to the Republican National convention next year. Mr. Bourne predicted the election of Bryan in 1896. Some people were disposed to poke fun at Vardaman's spectacular canvass for governor of Mississippi, but it seems he was elected United States Senator. THE CAPITOL A WEEK IN WASHINGTON COPYRIGHT BLAKE HANSON 5 LOS ANGELES Viewing his desk almost obscured beneath flowers was the enjoyment Wednesday morning of Secretary Nagel, of the Department of Commerce and Labor, when he stepped into his office. The floral demonstration was in reminiscence of the sixty-second birthday anniversary of the Secretary, Mary telephone calls from friends, extending congratulations also were received. Many congratulations also were received. On August 9, 1849, Charles Nagel was born to a farm in Colorado county, Texas. His father was loyal to the cause of the North during the civil war, and moved to St. Louis, where the Secretary still lives. (From The Appeal Bureau.) Washington, August 9, 1911. President Says Congress Must Decide. The controversy over the two-million-dollar Lincoln memorial must finally be settled by Congress, where it is to be taken by senators and representatives favorable to plans other than the erection of a monument in Potomac Park. Notice to this effect has been served on President Taft and the other members of the Lincoln memorial commission, which has virtually decided upon the Potomac Park site and is awaiting the preparation of plans by Henry Bacon, the New York artist. Plans for a financial campaign to provide for the Afro-American poor of the District were formulated at the closing session of the Washington A. M. E. Zion Preachers' Union at John Wesley Zion M. E. Church. It was decided to hold four special meetings at different churches when the union meets again next fall, in order to raise money to devote to the poor who are brought to the attention of the union. Special appeals will be made to the churches of the city to back the campaign. The session was brought to a close by the reading of the record of the last session by Secretary G. M. Oliver, followed by routine, work and ministerial reports. A number of letters were read indorsing Rev. Dr. S. L. Corrothers for bishop and Rev. C. S. Alleyne for editor of the Star of Zion, the denominational paper. Rev. Dr. Corrothers will speak on "The Rights of the American Negro" in Boston, August 28. A large delegation will attend the national convention of the Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society, which meets Friday. HON.

A plan then will be presented for forming a general association. Death of Senator Frye. The capital is saddened by the news of the demise of Senator William P. Frye of Alabama. The Senate received official notice with many expressions of sorrow. Mikado Thanks Taft. The Mikado today thanked President Taft for the cordiality of Admiral Togo's reception in Washington and America generally, but he did not respond to the Executive's suggestion that an arbitration treaty between this country and Japan be negotiated. Today's cabbage was wholly apprehended the theater, and it was confined strictly to that. And it was confined strictly to that. Delaware Efficient Battleship. The battleship Delaware, in the opinion of navy officers, has demonstrated a new efficiency superior to anything ever accomplished in any navy of the world. The Delaware, on its visit to the coronation naval review, left New York on June 4 with 2,479 tons of coal and 282 tons of fuel oil, returned to Boston July 9, and while abroad took on no fuel, engineering supplies, or stores of any kind with the exception of 'fresh water. On reaching Boston she had in her bunkers, 607 tons of coal and 18 tons of fuel oil. Her average speed for the whole trip was 11.85 knots. After crossing the Atlantic twice, in a period of one month and five days, the Delaware still had sufficient fuel to steam 1,500 miles. Asks Aid for Colored Camp. An appeal to citizens for aid in supporting the camp of the Associated Charities, at Lincoln, D. C., was made last Sunday by Rev. Simon P. W. Drew, pastor of the Cosmopolitan Temple Baptist Church. The occasion was the seventh annual Baptist camp-meeting of the church. For World Alphabet. A congress of nations to adopt "a world alphabet" is asked for in a bill introduced by Representative Jackson of Kansas. Mr. Jackson wants the president to invite all nations to send delegates to Washington in 1912 "to consider the possibility, desirability, and feasibility of recording all elementary sounds of the human voice, which may be used in human speech or expression of ideas; and of formulating a graphic sound notation or alphabet for all such sounds, which alphabet shall be adapted to the use of every language, dialect, and form of human vocal expression, and shall be suitable for writing, printing, engraving, and other forms of presentation." In preparing this "universal scientific alphabet" Representative Jackson particularly asks that the views of all "linguists, phoneticists, philologists, lexicographers, orthocopists, orthographers, translators, transliterators, lexicographers, neurologists, oculists, physicians, neurologists, printers, typists, linotypists, stenographers, phonographers, and type founders" be taken into consideration. A Fairlawn Advantage. A real estate firm advertises "no negroes" as one of the advantages of Fairlawn, a suburb of Washington. Adjournment in a Week. A more hopeful view of the outlook for tariff legislation and for an adjournment of Congress was taken yesterday, as the result of an interchange of views between Senator La Follette, representing the Senate conferences, and Representative Underwood, who is acting for the House in the subcommittee that is trying to work out a compromise wool bill.

NATIONAL BUSINESS LEAGUE The National Negro Business League will hold its Twelfth Annual Meeting at Little Rock Arkansas, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 16th, 17th and 18th, 19th. Those intending to be present should notify W. M. Alexander, Chairman Committee on Homes, $504\frac{1}{2}$ W. 9th Street, Little Rock, as early as possible. Governor George W. Donaghey, of Arkansas, is manifesting great interest in this coming meeting, and has assured the Local League of his entire willingness to do everything possible toward making the meeting a success. Governor Donaghey, the Little Rock Chamber of Commerce, and the most important white citizens of Little Rock joined with the Local League of Little Rock in inviting the National Organization to Little Rock. The annual meetings of the National Negro Business League are yearly increasing in value and helpfulness to the race. They bring progressive colored men and women together from every section of the country, and afford a chance to become acquainted and exchange ideas with each other. Hon. J. E. Bush, a member of the Executive Committee of the National organization, is the leading spirit in all of the activities now being made the coming meeting, and is especially anxious to have Northern numbers 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.

We have a tract of land lying a short distance north of St. Paul and Minneapolis, and southwest of Duluth and Superior, in a region of remarkable resources and opportunities. The soil of this particular locality is a peculiarly rich, prolific loam of a great depth, which is evidenced in its wild state by the variety of wild fruits growing there, such as the raspberry, blackberry, gooseberry, strawberry, blueberry and several kinds of cherries, and by the luxurious growth of red clover, blue grass and timothy, which has sprung up voluntarily among the other vegetation. A soil which will produce in a wild state this variety of vegetation, will respond quickly to cultivation and will be found wonderfully productive when scientifically cultivated. The clearing of this land has many adva great value, the trees have added material of building material, fence posts, etc.,ense attached to clearing is partially if not SCHOOL The schools in this district are excellent exacting and the education received in the prior to that of a great many small cities Those who have examined our properties garden, commercial fruit and diversified mesota. Description of property, prices a THIS IS THE OPPORTUNITY FOR A The clearing of this land has many advantages, it furnishes free fuel, an item of great value, the trees have added materially to the richness of the soil and the price of building material, fence posts, etc., is made much cheaper, so that all the expense attached to clearing is partially if not completely off set by the returns. The schools in this district are excellent. The requirements for a teacher are very exacting and the education received in these rural schools is equal and probably superior to that of a great many small cities in other localities.
