The Appeal

The SPONGE INDUSTRY in the AMERICAS By F. A. PIERCE A SPONGE FLEET hook as discovered. To overcome the ripples in the water, which interfered with their fishing, the spongers soon learned to make use of oil, and that extracted from the liver of sharks was found to be the best. Another change in the method soon followed, for a man standing upright in his boat found considerable difficulty seeing the bottom with sufficient distinctness. To oversee the sponges, a man with a telescope," was introduced, which was merely ordinary wooden pail with a glass instead of wooden bottom. This device was introduced in 1870, and necessitated two men for each boat, one to propel the boat and the other to search for and gather up the sponges. Later large vessels came into use in the Florida waters and sponging was often carried on at a distance of 20 to 30 miles from shore. The average size of the sponges was about 15 tons capacity, rigged as schooners in the form of cases, and carrying a crew of from 5 to 13 men in a rule the proceeds of the sponging trips go into a common fund, from which each man receives his share according to his duties. When a vessel reaches a sponging ground, if the weather is favorable and the water sufficiently clear a bar is located by means of "sighting" with a water glass. The crew is sent out in small boats, two men in each, the "sculler" and the "hooker," the duty of the former beaker and the boat, to incidence to the signals of the latter to indicate the hooks when necessary. A proficient sculler and command of the boat, stopping it almost on the instant. Upon the hooker devolves the work of finding and catching the sponges. He leans over the side, watching the bottom through his water glass, the hook with its pole resting conveniently across the boat where it may be seized upon the instant. The position is a trying one physically, especially when the waves grow rough the work is impossible the sponge glass or bucket, with its glass bottom below the low surface of the water, operates by dispelling reflection, and to heighten its efficiency the hooker usually wears a straw hat which cuts off a large part of the direct light when his head is thrust into the mouth of the bucket. By this means the bottom may sometimes be seen in the depths of 50 feet. When a sponge is sighted, the maneuvers the boat into position at a word or sign on the hook; the latter seizes his hook, resting the hook on shoulder, and with his right hand lower it. It is then injected into the sponge, more or less distinctly visible through the water glass, which is held in position with the left hand. In pulling or tearing the sponge a certain degree of skill is required to prevent mutilation, which, of course, impairs its value in the markets. Some time, it is adhere so tightly that it requires the united parts of both men to loosen them, and in most cases parts of the base of the sponge are left behind. In deep water—that is, in depths over 28 or 40 feet—probably not more than one-third of the 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. 35. W W HERE do all the sponges come from? We see them every day, and while everyone knows that they are products of the few know how they are gathered and how lumpy the districts where they are caught. To most people familiar only with the sponges of the shops, the animal as it comes from the sea would be rather unrecognizable. When brought to the surface they are black and slimy. The sponge of the market is merely the skeleton—supporting framework—which gives strength and form to the soft gelatinous tissues of the lily animal. Sponges are known to the general public almost solely for their use in the toilet—one of their minor applications. They are vastly more valuable in the arts. To the surgeon the sponge is invaluable, almost, as a life-saver in taking up wound care and of oralorrhage; while the doctor formerly prescribed burnt sponge for glandular swellings, nowadays iodine and bromine, which are the chemical and useful constituents, are used alone. In many trades they are practically indispensable, and imply the efforts and ingenuity of inventors, no satisfactory nature has ever been produced and it is doubtful whether one can be found. The properties that give a sponge its value are many; they are found in combination in no other natural or artificial product, and the impression of the sponge body is of small moment to civilization. 10 YELLOW SPONGE FLORIDA KEY small moment to civilization. Sponge life does not thrive in fresh water. Of the food of the sponges practically nothing is known. That it is taken in through the canal system and that it must be in a finely divided state is practically certain, but of what it constitutes is not known. They appear to have but few natural enemies. The so-called "roots" of sponges perform no other purpose than that of anchorage. The rate of growth of the sponge under natural, unhurried conditions, is also a matter of uncertainty, but it is estimated that the average 6-inch sponge is probably only four years old. The industry in the Americas is a most important one. The fisheries as at present developed are almost entirely restricted to the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico, with its contiguous waters. As early as 1822 the inhabitants of Key West, Florida, learned, from specimens thrown up on the beaches, of the presence of them in the useful sponges. For some time they were in limited use among the inhabitants, but not until 1836 was a cargo sent to New York. Up to this time the entire sponge supply of the United States was derived from the Mediterranean, though of later years a few sponges come from the Bahamas. While fishing in the Americas is rather a modern industry, it produces more than two-thirds of the world's supply in weight; but the fisheries of the Mediterranean now produce about one-half of the world's supply in value. An idea of the number of sponges produced by the fisheries of the Americas can perhaps best be grasped if it is realized that last year's crop of dry sponges weighed 4,000,000 pounds; and as each pound is capable of absorbing 14 plants of water, it will be seen that the number of sponges Americas could absorb 7,000,000 gallons. Nor is there annual valuation of this product be lost sight of the last year there were produced in the Americas sponges valued at $1,500,000. The two places where sponge fishing is best studied in the Americas are at Tarpon Springs, Florida, and at Bataano, on the southern coast of Cuba. On the Florida coast there are two well-defined sponge regions. The Key grounds on the east, consisting of a chain of keys starting from the mainland near Miami and extending in the shape of a horn far into the Gulf of Mexico; and the Bay grounds on the west, also extending into the Gulf of Mexico. The Bay grounds, which formerly held a secondary position commercially, did practically the entire production of Florida sponge and are by far the most prolific in the Americas. The Atlantic side of the regions is not adapted to the propagation of this animal because of the depth and low temperature of the waters and the frequent disturbances of hurricanes. These valuable sponge grounds have been overfished in and out of season to such an extent that congress found it necessary to enact a stringent law for the protection and conservation of this industry. This law prohibits divers from working between the 1st of May and the 15th of June, by for the worst deep, and vessels of the revenue cutter service patrol the Florida waters today to see that this law is enforced. While the sponging areas of Batabano, Cuba, and the Tarpon Springs, Florida, are figuratively within a stone's throw of each other, yet the methods of gathering in this interesting animal at these points are entirely different. In Florida the old method of sponging the sponge was to wade into the shallow waters and pull up the growth by hand. Later the sponge hook was introduced. This was a two-timed short hook attached to a pole of moderate length; a hook was then used to implement after a while. With the introduction of deeper water was explored. The fisherman standing in his boat closely scanned the bottom of the water for sponges, tearing them loose with the THE APPEAL. THE BOAT FLEET EXHIBIT OF SPONORS DATABANG hookergs have sufficient strength, keenness of sight, and skill with the pole to work successfully. In consequence of this and the fact that only when the water is exceptionally clear can the sponges be seen at all in the greater depths, most of the hooking is carried on in less than 6 fathoms of water. In 1895 the Mediterranean method of sponging with diving apparatus was introduced into the Florida field. It was most successful. As compared with hooking, the diving system requires a much more expensive equipment. Its mumps, suits, and gear are all more costly than the sponge hooks and glasses, which constitute the secondary equipment of the hooker. The expense of operation and cost of maintenance are also heavier, and to meet this additional cost the yield per man must be considerably DALAPARO ANGLO CHE is propelled by two steel oars, which are operated through two water-tight joints. Attached to the forward section of the keel is a wheel, upon which the vessel travels over the level bottom of hard sand upon which the sponges are found. The sponging-apparatus consist of a water-joint object from the bow through a water-joint spherical joint. This is operated by a man inside the hull from a view obtained through the forward window. Electric lights furnish illumination. The sponges as fast as seized are thrown into a basket suspended from a forward arm of the boat. Thus it will be seen that while both the diving and hooking methods are in vogue in the sponging industry of Florida, the number of sponges which "get the hook" tully equidus the number outfitted by the divers the hulls of the main ship sippees are placed on deck and left there until all the slimy matter they contain is drained off. While the sponges are dying they give off a strong odor of ammonia, which, after a few days, changes to the more pleasure smell of seawed. The schooner then returns to its base of operation and places its catch in pens or "kraals," generally about 10 feet square and built of wattled stakes driven in shallow water in the shelter of some key or land, so that the flowing tide washes the sponges as it comes and goes. This washing process takes about one week, after which the sponges are thoroughly squeezed out and beaten with sticks until all the living matter disappears. They are then strung in bunches upon pieces of oope, after drying the sponges to a hardness of about 10 according to kinds, arranged in piles to show them to the best advantage, and soaked in water in order to swell them to their largest proportions.

They are now ready for market, and this phase of the industry is a most interesting one. At appointed times, sponge buyers assemble and, proceed from pile to pile, bid for each separately, basing their bids on the number of sponges and the size and grade of the sponges. After purchasing, the buyers forward the sponges to their packing and warehouses, which they maintain at convenient clean points on the coast, and the irregularly contained particles are removed, and the reduced and the larger sponges are fitted with shears, the clapper requiring a degree of shrinkage to the sponge to a regular shape with the minimum waste. After being trimmed with the sponges are sorted according to size and quality, and burgled in bales, which are wrapped in burlap. In Cuba the sponge is found on the north and south coasts. The most important beds are on the southern coast in the vicinity of Batabano, between the mainland and the Isle of Pines. While sponges are found in several other sections of the Americas, the distinction of furnishing the greatest variety belongs to Florida and the indies, the most popular grades being sheepswool fellet, yellow grass, glove, reef, and wire. The highest priced sponges are the Turkish. These have brought as high as 850 pound, but their production is extremely limited. Tex is America's sheep-wool variety, so called because of its resemblance. Notwithstanding that this is a much cheaper grade, it is often preferred to the Turkish sponge as a toilet article. Then, in order, follow the velvet, yellow, grass, and glove sponges. Dr. H. F. Moore, scientific assistant, United States bureau of fisheries, who was awarded the prize of one hundred dollars gold at the Fourth International Fishery Congress, in 1908, for the most comprehensive paper on sponge fisheries, has sold a series of experiments which have resulted in the production of the rooftop sponge. The root of the sponge is the most important part, and at this point it first begins to tear. A rootless sponge, therefore, will far outlast the common variety. At appointed times, sponge buyers assemble and, proceeding from pile to pile, bid for each separately, basing their bids on the number of bunches and the size and grade of the sponges. After purchasing, the buyers forward the sponges to their packing and warehouses, which they maintain at convenient points on the coast. Here they are thoroughly cleansed of the remaining dirt, all foreign particles are removed, and the irregular and torn parts are clipped with shears, the clippers requiring a degree of skill to remove the irregular, regular shape with the minimum waste. After regular sponges are sorted according to size and quality, pressed into bales, which are wrapped in burlap. In Cuba the sponge is found on the north and south coasts. The most important beds are on the southern coast in the vicinity of Batabano, between the mainland and the Isle of Pines. While sponges are found in several other sections of the Americas, the distinction of furnishing the greatest variety belongs to Florida and the West Indies, the more popular grades being sheep-wool, velvet, yellow, grass, glove, reef, and wire.

Another method of gathering sponges which has not yet made its appearance in American waters is the sponge-fishing submarine boat, considered by many a practical and useful craft. This unique boat has been built in the building yard and sent to the sponge fishing grounds of Tunis, where it is now in operation. BIRD MEN OF OLD Greek Mythology Tells of First Aero Experiments. Flew With Legendary Wings of Wax to Escape Wrath of an Ancient King—Criminal Made the First Flight. Washington, D. C.—The first aeronautical voyage history chronicles was that of the legendary Daalusal and his son. As mythology says, the father, Daalusal, had some kind of a tiff with Minos, his majesty the king of Crete. One sunny day when the kingly wrath had reached the boiling stage, Daalusal and his son, Icarus, decided a different climate would be good for them. So the wings were waxed on and they sailed away. But they rose so high that the heat from the sun melted the wax and Icarus dropped into the icarus. Archytes of Tarsum were a pigeon of wood that flow in the fourth century, B. C. Simon, the magician, in 66 A. D. endeavored to do a little air experiment and broke his neck. In the reign of the Emperor Commenus a Saracen met a similar fate in Constantinople, and flying was abandoned for a few centuries. Joseph Montgolfier, a paper manufacturer of Annayon, France, discovered in 1782 that heat rarified air and made it occupy a much larger space than it did before being heated. He made a small parallelepiped of taffeta and filled it with heated air, it rose the roof of his apartment and he was made, on January 4, 1783, the first public ascension was made, who rode in this Montgolfier, as it was called, but the flight lasted ten minutes. To commemorate it a yearly festival was established. Hydrogen had been discovered by Cavendish six years before. It was found to have a specific gravity about one-sixteenth of that of air. Two THE FIRST PROSINGER BALLOON THE FIRST BALLOON Types of Early Balloons. months after Montgolfier's triumph Professor Charles of Paris sent up an inflated hydrogen balloon which, after travelling 15 miles, was torn to piece by the superstitious peasantry. A month later another Montgolfier was sent up containing a sheep, a cock and a duck. Louis XVI, king of France witnessed the flight, and he demanded that a human should make an ascension. He ordered that a criminal should be sent up. The famous Pilgrimage of the soul was granted. On October 15, 1783, the known ascension was made by Rozier in a hot air bag, remaining up 4 minutes and 25 seconds. America caught the fever, and James Willecx, a carpenter of Philadelphia, saw over the Schuylkill river in an aerostat made by the scientists, Rittenhouse and Hopkins. Two other flights, one of 27 miles in a Montgolfier from Paris, and a shorter one by Professor Charles in a hydrogen balloon, closed the first year of real flying known to the world. In 1784 more than 40 ascents and royages were made, the first trip in England being recorded in September 1785. The english channel was crossed from Calais by Blanchard and Dr. Jeffries, an American. So it went. Flight after flight was made and the fat became more popular. For almost a century the balloon scarcely altered in design, all of them were made with fantastic decorations and the wallow basket was not used. However, many improvements were affected in the method of inflation, the construction of the valve, the ripping of the valve and the scientific instruments used. Before 1862 balloons was looked upon much as an amusement, and in order to defray the balloonists' expenses the public had to pay to see their flights. The sizes of the balloons increased, previous balloons of the early days had been 20,000 cubic feet capacity, but one was constructed in Paris of 215,000 cubic feet in 1853. The balloon of the balloon of 450,000 cubic feet was made. Modern balloons did not run more than 80,000 cubic feet. That is the largest balloon which is allowed to compete for the James Gordon Bennett cup race. In 1836 the record flight was 500 miles in 18 hours. In 1870 balloons made a 'thousand miles and last year Hawley and Post established a new world's record of about 1,200 miles, flying for the Bennett trophy from St. Louis.

Sitka, Alaska.—What are known as totems, or totem poles, are quite common in Alaska territory. Some of these totems are shown in an accompanying illustration. As a usual thing these totem poles are of Alaska cedar, which is very tough in the territory. This wood, though of a hardy type, will yield fiber, is fine grained and adapted to carving. All the totems are made by Alaska Indians; the carving is done with rather rude, coarse implements, and consequently is of a crude, unartistic nature. None of the carv Totem Poles Near Sitka. Ing makes any approach to either beauty or the artistic. On the contrary, all of the work is rough and rudely performed. However, there is an element of the odd and protesque in all of these carvings, crucified through they are. In point of art the work may be compared to the rude paintings of the plains Indians on their skins composing their rude tents or tenes, buffalo robes etc. Generally the figures carved on these totems are those representing human beings, particularly the faces, features, etc., all of which are extremely grotesque and even drolly fantastic in shape and crude expression. Of course the forms of various wild animals, fish and marine creatures, etc., are carved on these pieces of wood. In point of size these totem figures vary from mere toy dimensions, up to very large size. Some of the figures are feet and even yards in length. When large these queer appearing figures are carved out of the solid tree or log and form part of it. The totems are invariably exposed, like those shown in the illustration, in the streets, along roadways, trails, the seashore and in many other places.

New York.—One of the most picturesque figures in the business and financial life of this country passed away in the death of John W. Gates. Gates was warmly loved and deeply hated. He won and lost millions, gave and received many hard blows, met the great kings of Wall street at their most familiar game of speculation and beat them, Brezely invaded many lines of endeavor and came out of them successful and wrote his name in large characters over financial events of a quarter of a century. He was a gambler by instinct. But he was never a bear. He was too optimistic for that. He believed in upbuilding rather than in tearing down, and he shared with others the results of his indefatigable chase for wealth. His readiness to take a chance on any reasonable proposition and the large sum of money he was willing to risk upon the soundness of his judgment earned for him the soubriquet of "Bet you-a Million" Gates. "All life is a gamble." Once said, the farmer was奖励ed when plants were harvested. Every man who goes into business embarks on speculation. It was barbed wire that made Gates. It was introduced into use at a time when the ranchmen of the west and southwest were fencing in their broad acres and Gates, who was then conducting a little hardware store at John W. Gates. Turner Junction, now a part of Chicago, saw his opportunity. He went to Texas as a salesman and soon took enough orders to swamp the manufactory for which he was working. Then he asked for a share in the profits and was refused. He became a manufacturer himself, establishing a plant at St. Louis, and soon found himself involved in lawsuits over patents. He moved into another state where the court, injections issued against him could not reach him, finally won his case and continued for a time a successful career as a maker of barbed wire. Gates never turned his back upon opportunity and he saw opportunity beckoning to him. He began organizing and consolidating wire companies. He organized the Consolidated Steel and Wire company, which was capitalized at $90,000,000, and which he sold to the Federal Steel company. Then followed the American Steel Wire company, capitalized at $90,000,000, and a little later the United States Steel corporation, with which Gates' companies were merged, was formed. He made millions out of these deals and other millions out of railway and industrial stocks. During his spectacular plunging in Wall street, which he entered soon after the close of the war with Spain, various attempts were made to break him. Occasionally his wings were somewhat singed, but he was never seriously wounded and he made the financial interests of Wall street reckon with him. In wheat and corn corns he is said to have made millions. He had nearly a perfect system of getting information of things which might affect Wall street. His own eyes were always open and when he could not look far enough ahead he paid others to do his scouting. Gates' business training began early. Before he was sixteen he contracted to husk a neighbor's corn and made enough money to buy an interest in a threshing machine. He happened to strike a year of bumper crops and he succeeded so well that he was able to buy out his partners. Giving his threshing machine as security, he bought a piece of woodland, converted it into firewood, cleared $1,000 and he was not then washing machine. And he was not then washing years of age. Some of Gates' spectacle ventures were on the turf, and many manures to his credit here he invaded England and is said to have made $1,375,000 one season. He was a man of tremendous energy, of heavy build, but not the least pictureque in appearance. He was not at all bruise and domineering, but gentle in manner and speech. HAVE YOU READ THE APPEAL?

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1911 CULLMAN ALABAMA. A visitor to this city gives the following account of a town in Alabama: "Cullman does not allow a Negro within her corporate limits. The town was originally settled by a lot of German immigrants from Europe and Pennsylvania shortly after the civil war, and after about ten years' experience with a large number of Negroes who lived in the town and surrounding country, the people decided they would have to get along without the 'brother in black.' So they notified all the Negroes to get out and stay away for good. This policy has cost the town heavily, however, because all the surrounding Negroe trade now goes to other towns, and thousands of dollars are annually lost to the Cullman merchants. Cullman affords a fine illustration of what tools people can make of themselves. The town is of course surrounded by a dense population of Afro-American farmers and the town trade is just about nothing. Chiff Ro. DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON.

Any one visiting Cullman, will doubtless find a poor little starveling hamlet, with not a decent store, hotel, or saloon in the whole place. The brother-in black is not losing much by being tabooed by Cullmanians. --- A spirit of unrest appears to be epidemic all over this beautiful country of ours. Nothing seems to be moving as though greased for the occasion. The only thing that changeth not is the fact that the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. What, with motor cars, motor boats and motor airships we are all rushing pell mell toward something we know not what. A vaulting ambition appears to possess us all and we stop at nothing to gain our ends. We live a week in a day and then are not satisfied that we are living fast enough. Unusual events used to serve for at least nine days' wonder, but nothing now can chain public attention for half that time. We don't seem to know just what we are driving, but we are driving just the same, everyone apparently saying to himself, "I don't know where I'm going, but I'm on my way." The question used to be, "whither are we drifting?" but now it's, "where are we rushing?" Gilbert Porter, one of the best known and well-to-do citizens of Massillon, Ohio, has been living in hope of celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of his emancipation from slavery by the proclamation of the martyred president, Lincoln. But as he is getting feeble and he fears he may not live the two years necessary to round out the time, has decided to carry out what has been his greatest ambition and celebrate the forty-eighth anniversary by giving a barbecue to which the whole town will be invited on September 22nd, "Emancipation Day." At the barbecue a whole ox, a number of sheep, pigs and chickens will be barbecued in the old Southern style, and everyone who will come and partake without money and without price. That the occasion will be a huge success there can be no doubt. At last it may be said a real philanthropist has been found in the person of Dr. D. K. Pearsons of Hinsdale, Ill., who has distributed a fortune of $7,000,000 in beneficences. He wound up by giving his residence and five acres of ground valued at $35,000 for library purposes and he has gone to the Hinsdale Sanitorium at the age o 92, almost penniless, to end his days. The lawlessness in "Bloody Breathett" county, Kentucky, is to be put down. The leading men in the district have called a meeting for, October 9. It is claimed that with a proper system of policing, order would be assured and the country could be developed. Postmaster General Hitchcock in a report to Speaker Clark recommends the adoption of a basis of payment according to the actual space occupied by the mails while en route. He says such a readjustment would save the Government $9,000,000 annually. In his annual report to be submitted in December, Postmaster General Hitchcock will recommend the establishment of a parcel post. Mr. Hitchcock has already made a great record by his abolition of the deficit of $17,500,000 in the Post Office Department. Gov. John K. Terer of Pennsylvania is greatly shocked at the brutal burning at the stake of Zacharias Walker, an Afro-American in that state and has ordered a searching inquiry. When President Taft called the special session of Congress, many of his political friends thought that he had made a great blunder, but the results show that he was right. Dr. Dudley A. Sargent, a physical culture expert, would abolish vacations. He says the average man is harmed by loafing and overeating on holiday. New Douglass, an Illinois town, has a new plan to cure drunks. "Souces" are strapped to monuments and left over night. The scheme is effective. And now, mobs are wrecking and looting stores owned by Jews in England. It looks as if the world is going back to the middle ages. Niagara seems to have impressed Admiral Togo more than anything else in America. The latest pipe dream is a pipe line to pipe beer into consumer's homes. Congress adjourned Tuesday and no body is kicking that we know of. THE CAPITOL A WEEK IN WASHINGTON HARRIS&EWING WASHINGTON,D.C. HON. CHARLES HILLES. The Genial Secretary, President, Use, Leasing Personality is Making Friends in the Administration. Washington, D. C., Aug. 30, 1911. Accepts Haitian Minister. The United States government has expressed its willingness to receive Gen. Solon Menos as Haitian minister at Washington to succeed H. Pauleus Sannon. In accordance with the usual custom, the proposed appointment was taken up with the State Department in order to learn whether the new minister would be persona grata. It had been expected that Mr. Sannon, who was appointed by the deposed president, Gen. Antonio Simon, would be displaced by some one identified or in sympathy with the revolution. Gen. Menos has long been a prominent public figure in Haiti. Zion Pastors Organize. "The Progressive Sons of Zion" is the title of an organization which has just been formed of A. M. E. Zion Church pastor and delegates who are to attend the general conference of the church to be held in Charlotte, N.C., shortly. The organization was effected at the recent connection council held at Knoxville, Tenn. Rev. G. L. White is president and Rev. C. C. Alleyne treasurer. Both are residents of Washington. Heads are to be established here shortly, and an official organ, "The Voice of Zion," will appear within a brief time. The new organization's leaders are committed to a policy of enlarging the borders of the Zion Church and in line with this policy three new bishops will be chosen. They will attempt to carry out their program at the general conference. Request Came Too Late "I want to be treated for a stroke," said an Afro-American to one of the physicians at the Freedmen's Hospital about $ 6 a clock this morning. HARRIS&EWING WASHINGTON,D.C. HON. CHA The Genial Secretary to the Pr is Making Friends "What's the trouble?" asked the physician. It was then too late to give the treatment, for as the question was being asked the visitor's expected "stroke" came. He reeled and fell to the floor and died. His identity has not been established and there were no papers in his pockets to indicate his name. Cardinal Gibbons May Be Urged for Papacy. Cardinal Gibbons may be brought forward as a candidate for the papacy in the meeting of the college of cardinals, in the event the present pontiff should die of his present illness. This news has been received in this country, and is causing no little pleasure to the friends of the cardinal, both in and out of the Catholic church. Complete Canal in Sixteen Months. Only a little while after the Presidential election next November, and before the end of the year 1912, the digging of the Panama canal will have led to a recording to the latest nuggets showing the rate of progress on the big ditch. Funeral at the Morgue. Rev. Simon P. W. Drew, pastor of Cosmopolitan Baptist Church; Rev. Alexander Wilbanks, pastor of Friendship Baptist Church, and Rev. H. Clark Pope, a colored missionary, conducted burial services at the morgue Tuesday for an unidentified colored man, whose body was found in James Creek canal last week. A brief burial service was held. One of the ministers offered a prayer and another committed the body to the ground. The singing of a hymn concluded the service. Later the body was taken to potter's field and interred, the law requiring interments of unidentified bodies and prohibiting cremation. Moving Pictures for Public Schools. The establishment of a moving picture course in the public schools is being considered by the officials and members of the Board of Education. Falling in line with Minneapolis, New York and other cities, Washington --- may, during the next scholastic year, give this experiment in the visualization course a thorough test. Superintendent W. M. Davidson said yesterday that the moving picture course is the most advanced step in the art of teaching. It has been tried in other cities, and in all probability, he said, Washington soon will give it a thru-through. "The leading educational figures of the day," Superintendent Davidson said, "long ago pronounced visualizing as being necessary in all training schools." Assistant Secretary Goes Abroad.

The President will speak on the general subject of "Conservation." Chinese Send U, S, Gold Home. Treasury officials who have been making a study of exportation of money to China have concluded that no less than $7,000,000 in gold is sent by Chinese in this country every year. The sum does not include the amounts carried there by returning natives. With the further development of the postal bank system, officials predict that not only are the exportations, but those to all other parts of the world will steadily decrease. President Taft on Hampton. In an address before the trustees of Hampton Institute, at a meeting held at the home of Mrs. T. Jefferson Coolidge at Manchester, Mass., Tuesday, President Taft said in part: "I always come in with a living protest of indignation that an institution so formal, forming as it does the basis of our inquiry, and suggesting a remedy for the Negroes should still be on a basis necessitating the begging by such men as you see before me for money enough to run it from year to year. We have lots of millionaires in this country, and why cannot the contributions be sufficiently large to put such an institution as Hampton on a basis that shall be self-supporting? "Northern generosity and donation with reference to Southern education and the education of the Negroes, have, of course, their fruits, and I do not want in any way to diminish the desire of those who wish to give. But then we us who study the question at all know that the hope of the Negro is in his white neighbor in the South." --- PROGRAMME For Editor Adams' 25th Anniversary Celebration, Hibernian Hall's Monday, September 18.

T. to the commandery with Regy host, W F. T.

During the evening speeches were made by the special guests and several members of the Commandery and considerable impetus was given to the "On to Washington Club." The whole affair was very creditable and enjoyable in every way. Mrs. Hardy's Grand Party Mrs. W. R. Hardy, of 518 St. Anthony ave., on Friday evening of last week gave one of the most swell-grand social functions of the season to the faces Miss Sarah May Talbert of Buffalo and Miss Lois Simmons of Chicago. The early part of the evening was devoted to whist and ten tables were played. The billiard room on the third floor of her elegant and spacious residence was most handsomely decorated with Japanese lanterns, oriental lamps, ferns, cut flowers, etc., while rugs, cork boards with beautiful rugs. The game continued when the prizes were awarded as follows: Miss Amelia Singleton, of Omaha, beautiful burnt wood and hand painted piece entitled "Violet's"; Mr. C. Harris, Washington, D. C., burnt wood hand painted neck tie holder representing a Navahoe Indian; Miss Lyle Utley, beautiful burnt wood and hand painted piece; Mr. Harrod Cage, diminutive deck of cards. The pyrographic designs and hand painting on the table was the work of Miss Sarah May Taberley, some evidence of her talent and skill in the matter of art. At 11:00 0'clock Hilyarda orchestra, which had been discoursing sweet music during the evening, struck up a march and the hostess, accompanied by Mr. Lloyd Hickman led the grand march to the first floor, which had been transformed into a grand ball room. Here the gay throng of youngsters enjoyed themselves with terpsichorean evolutions until a late hour, when after partaking of a toothsome collation, they departed for their homes every one declaring Mrs. Hardy a most charming hostess. The Mystery Solved. For several weeks the city has been in the throes of excitement over a wedding ceremony that it was rumored would take place at St. James church. Much mystery surrounded the affair, and many groundless stories were circling. The excitement raised and the mystery surrounding the affair succeeded in parking the church to overflowing with everybody on top of expectancy. Finally the wedding march were wafted on the air from Prof. Johnson's augmented orchestra. The party comprised Mr. John Jenkins and Mrs. Minnie Allen apparently as bride and groom. Rev. Joseph Strong as best man, Messrs. Walker Williams, March Salters and J. McMurray as groommen; Mesdames "Deary" Williams, Jeriena White, Samuel Hatcher and W. M. Cannon as bridesmaids. On entering the altar Mr. and Mrs. O. C. Hall married Mrs. Minnie Allen threw the shoulders of Mrs. H. and she and her husband took their pastor H. P. Jones, who pronounced the ceremony for the purpose of celebrating the tenth anniversary of their wedding. It was a terrible disappointment to many of the swineaces present, but all took the matter in good spirits, and one of the most joyous and hilarious times ever was in the church followed, as did the serving of the refreshments. The church was very handsomely and elaborately decorated by Mr.B. C. Archer and Mrs. Shrubbins for the occasion. The choir sang several selections and Miss Gladys Wright sang solo. As a free will silver offering was taken to a door a very humbly sum was raised, which will be applied to the payment of the piano for the Sabbath School, of which Mr. O. C. Hall is superintendent, and who was the originator of the scheme that produced the coin and the very enjoyable mysterious surprise. Mr. Editor:—The young men of St. Paul are deserving of great credit for tendering to the visiting young ladies and the young ladies of the Twin Cities, the splendid dancing party of Wednesday night at Bowlby Hall. Their very genteel and courteous de- portment, as well as the hospitable spirit they displayed, was very commendable and gratifying. The party was one of the most delightful of the season. A Spectator. About two weeks ago tickets were sent, by mail, to each of the 125 patrons for Editor Adams' 25th anniversary Celebration. With the tickets was sent an addressed, post paid, "Receipt Card," which needed but the signature of the patron on it to show that the tickets had been received, and then to be mailed at the nearest mail box. Had everyone promptly signed and mailed his card they would have all been received at this time, but NOT ONE-HALF have been sent in. It seems strange that the intelligent class of people who compose the list of patrons would be so derelict in performing such a simple, although such an important, duty. As none of the letters containing the tickets have been returned to this office all must have reached their proper destination, but how am I to know this unless the "Receipt Card" is returned to me? Do, please, let me know you have received the tickets by sending in the "Receipt Card," and DO IT NOW. Respectfully, J. Q. Adams. "SIM WILLIAMS' IDEALS."

No play that has been presented in many seasons has made a more powerful appeal to the sympathies of the audience, and certainly none has proven more popular, than "Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch" which comes to the Grand Fair Week, starting Sunday matinee, Sept. 3 and including a special matinee Labor Day. The laughter and applause with which this piece has been greeted in every city visited this season seems to be contagious. The. The dear old Kentucay drama never went better than in this its fifth season, the unfortunate drollery of the players giving a reassuring and persistent happiness. A reassuring and persistent Mrs. Wiggs has no peer in her class. Of all women, she is the dearest and funniest, the ideal philosopher and friend, at once a broad beam of sunshine mid lowly surroundings and a benediction among all her associates, it is a play which makes a universal appeal, fits every taste and every locality.

This is a courtesy that should be shown to the Governor as a recognition of the honor. Remember the occasion by his presence. Remember that he will begin promptly at 8:00 o'clock and persons who are not in their seats will not be allowed to take them until after his address closes. Remember that if you come early so that the program may proceed without delay you will thus get more time to dance. A. Minnesota's Premier Pianist Who Will Play at Editor Adams' 25th Anniversary Celebration. Everything is moving along delightfully for the 25th Anniversary of Editor Adams, Monday, September 18th. There are 250 sponsors for it in the persons of the patrons and patronesses whose names appear elsewhere, and as they will, of course, all be present, or, be represented, there can be no doubt of the success of the affair in point of numbers. Each of the patrons has a limited number of tickets to sell to his friends and persons desiring tickets are requested to call on the patrons or patronesses for them. No special invitations are given, but the public is cordially invited, the management reserving the right to refuse admission to any objectionable person, but no respectable appearing person of good moral character, properly attired need to fear to seek admission. The price of the tickets are one dollar each. Everything is free after entering the hall: checking wraps, seats for the celebrating exercises, supper, punch and dancing 'till 3:00 a.m., who should expect more, or even, as much, for one dollar? Your dollar will admit you if you are all right, and get you all of this. M. MME. ADDIE CRAWFORD-MINOR.
