Seven Corners Phone 401 "THE WHITE SLAVE." The Next Attraction at the Grand Opera House. Numerous revivals of old-time dramatic and musical successes have been exploited this season, and among them none have been greeted with greater acclaim than that accorded to dear old drama of the Sunny South, "The White Slave," which Bartley Campbell wrote and produced some thirty years ago, but which had been laid THE FILM MAKER AUGUSTA GARDNER aside for the past seven years to await the maturing of a new crop of theatre-goers. At least that was the excuse given by the management for retiring this favorite play in the zenith of its glory. The present elaborate revival which the management have given "The White Slave", however, has proven that the old-timers have still a warm spot in their hearts for this favorite of by-gone days, for they not only return themselves to renew their acquaintance with the heroine, sympathetic with her in her trials and rejoicing in her final triumph, but bring with them their children and grandchildren, that they also may enjoy one of the greatest plays from the pen of America's gifted dramatist. This season "The White Slave" is interpreted by an unusually strong cast, equipped with a magnificent scenic investiture and marvelous electrical effects, not to mention a contingent of genuine darkies, who contribute not a little to the realism of the plantation scene and life on the Mississippi River steamboat, Belle Creole. This ideal drama of the Southland will be the attraction at the Grand, next week, commencing Sunday matinee, Oct. 29th. WANTED.

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 races. 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 and the black people of the South would not be as undesirable as many of his fellow Southerners declare. 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 two countries, the 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- At last it may be said a real philanthropist has been found in the person of Dr. D. K. Pearson's Hinsdale, Ill., who has distributed a fortune of $7,000,000 in beneficences. He wounded 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 of 92, almost penille, to end his days.

T. u. worker, has been the guest of Mr. and Mrs. John Allison the past week. Mrs. Preston was entertained by Mrs. Jerrey of the W. C. W. A on last Wednesday afternoon. She was entertained by Mrs. I. E Gibb on Friday evening. Mrs. Preston has given several readings and talks in the Twin Cities in behalf of the movement that she represents. 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 HUMAN INTELLECT HAS CEASED TO GROW Neville Champerlain, and English psychologist, after some years of study concludes that the human intellect has ceased to grow. Mr. Champerlain means that the brain capacity of the highest type of Caucasian of today is no higher than that of the cultured Greeks of 2,500 years ago, for instance. Mr. Champerlain calls attention to the fact that the Japanese, Chinese, Babus of India and Bushmen of Australia were regarded as peoples of inferior intelligence a half century ago on account of their crude civilization and that students from those countries in European universities compete successfully with the descendants of a line of men who have been in touch with what we regard as high civilization. Mr. Chamberlain might have also called attention to the Afro-American students, whose parents were slaves less than fifty years ago. They have shown the same mental capacity as the Caucasians and in many instances have been the students and carried off the honors in the great universities of the country.

Circumstances over which the editor had no control, and which need not be explained further than to state they necessitated his absence from the city for the intervening weeks, prevented the issuance at the proper time of the souvenir number of THE APPEAL containing an account of the very grand celebration of his twenty-fifth anniversary as its editor, which took place on Monday evening, September 12. The editor has not words at his command to express his appreciation of the great honor that was conferred upon him on that occasion, and feels that he was not worthy of the high need of praise that was bestowed upon him. The account of the celebration which is presented today, will, he hopes, have lost none of its interesting features, on account of being so long delayed, by those who were not present, and those who were there, will, it is hoped, have their memories pleasantly refreshed as it was the finest W.

Principal of the Famous Tusk ege Institution in Alabama ever witnessed in the Twin Cities, so every one says who was there. What the souvenir edition is those who read this may see for themselves. It shows a goodly number of the elegant homes that the people have become the happy possessors of; the places of business of a few and some cuts of men and women prominent at some time in the last quarter of a century in the Twin Cities and at the celebration. Though the showing is good, it by no means can give an adequate idea of the progress the people have made in the last twenty-five years for there are scores of men and women of worth and ability who are not represented in these pages and there are hundreds who own their homes not shown here; most of them however, have been purchased within the past two decades. What has been done, both in the celebration and the souvenir edition, could not have been done without the support of many loyal friends who were public spirited enough to help along the enterprises and to these the editor desires to express his heartfelt appreciation and gratitude. May God bless you all. THE STATUS OF THE AFRO-AMER ICAN. There are two writers of world-wide reputation who have by their recent statements in regard to the Afro-American aroused within us renewed hope, as they have attracted the attention of the reading and thinking public. One of these writers is Mary White Ovington, author of "Half a Man," in which she gives evidence of having made investigations in regard to the economic and social condition of the Afro-American in an unbiased and painstaking manner. She was inspired to write the book or, at least, to give it its title, from a conversation with a young Afro-American who had recently returned from Germany, where he had been engaged in graduate work. The young man in question was born in one of the gulf states, and when asked by Miss Ovington if he intended to go back to the south to teach, said he did not. He said: "My father has attained success in his native state," he said, "but when I ceased to be a boy he advised me to live in the north, where my manhood would be respected. He himself cannot continually endure the position in which he is placed, and in the summer he comes north to be a man." "No," correcting himself, "to be half a man. A Negro is wholly a man only in Europe." Miss Ovington has noticed the slightly improved condition of the Afro-American in New York city that has just very recently appointed its first Afro-American policeman and is now working with great show of ultimate success the formation of an Afro-American militia regiment. "Half a Man" has an introduction written by Prof. Franz Boas, who is himself the author of "The Mind of Primitive Man," in which he states that within one hundred years the people of the United States will have absorbed all the immigrant blood of the thousands of foreigners who have flocked to this country, including that of the Negro, which he declares will be a good thing. He says further: "I hope the discussions contained in these pages have shown that the data of anthropology teach us a greater tolerance of forms of civilization different from our own, and that we should learn to look upon foreign races with greater sympathy and with the conviction, that, as all races have contributed in the past to cultural progress in one way or another, so they will be capable of advancing the interests of mankind, if we are only willing to give them a fair opportunity." Thus it would seem that the conclusions of Rev. W. N. Pendleton, D. D. in his "Science a Witness for the Bible," published in 1860 were correct when he says that the bringing of the African to this country was "a part of a vast scheme of an all-wise and benign Providence." So mote it be! A GOOD FRIEND GONE. In the recent death, at Washington, D. C., of Justice John M. Harlan, the Afro-Americans have lost one of their staunchest and most consistent friends. It is stated on good authority that the supreme court of the United States has never rendered a decision favorable to the Afro-American, along the lines of either civil or political liberty, as a citizen of the United States, but it is a well known fact that when such cases were decided unfavorably to the Afro-American, Justice Harlan was always a dissenter. And he did not simply vote and say nothing, but he nearly always stated his objections in an unmistakable manner, using the vigorous English that was peculiarly his own. The Afro-American, nowadays, has so few real friends, who believe in and advocate the brotherhood of man, that the loss of Justice Harlan is a most severe blow. That Other Girl By SUSANNE GLENN Garry Folger drew the small, dingy lamp nearer, and scrutinized his bank book thoughtfully. Then he gazed about the low, cheerless room. "I don't know as it is anyone's business if I want a home," he said aloud to strengthen his faltering determination. "I've earned the money and saved it, every penny. I'm sick of living about in people's kitchens. They say a man has a legitimate right to make a fool of himself once in his lifetime! And so it transpired that the little community was electrified to hear a few days later that Garry Folger had bought the old Norton place and meant to live there himself. "It will be pretty lonesome there by yourself, won't it?" asked friendly neighbors. "It will be home, anyway," Garry always answered. One bright March day he moved into the pleasant kitchen and the little bedroom adjoining. "But it is my own kitchen," thought Garry exultingly. It was the first real home the young man had ever known. He bought a fine young team, a cow, and some chickens. He set the place in order and planted the garden at odd moments between the regular work of the farm. And though he was so busy and so happy in his new possession, a strange fancy seemed to dominate him. He wandered daily through the empty rooms, fighting this new desire as he had fought the one about buying a home. "Though I don't know," he admitted with a queer smile, "that a man is justified to go on making a fool of himself" One breathless afternoon late in June, the young man stood helpless and embarrassed in the curtain department of a big city store. A girl in a simple white dress came toward him. "You wish something?" she asked kindly. He noticed she looked pale and tired. The kindness in her voice banished his uneasiness. "I want curtains—but I haven't any idea what kind," he smiled. "Your wife sent you? She did not specify anything—color—material?" "That is just the point," said Folger, still smiling. "I haven't any wife. But I want to get the kind of curtains that she will like when—when she comes to use them." "Oh, I see. You are getting the house ready. And she is so far away you cannot ask her?" "That is it," he said admiringly. "Do you think you could help me?" "I shall be only too glad. But I wish I could see the house—and the girl!" "It is a low, old-fashioned white house in the country, with roses over the porch and a fille hedge. And the girl—is small and gentle and has brown eyes." The girl's eyes grew suddenly wistful. "How lovely it must be! And the curtains—there should be nothing but white muslin in a house like that!" "Well, I'm glad to know it; I've always liked that kind, and could they have frills?" "Then certainly can. Come and see." "With the utmost patience she took out boxes and boxes." "They are not quite right, someway," she declared with a perplexed frown. "We have some lovely material here—you could get them made, could you not? That would be best." "I'd rather not—not at home, that is." "Then suppose you get the measurements and let me make them? I am only substituting afternoons, for one of the regular girls. I shall be only too glad." Garry Folger found himself in the same store a week later with a careful list of figures in his pocket. "It seems a great deal for you to do," he objected. "But I've nothing else to do mornings. It is vacation, you see. I am a primary teacher." "I will send them when they are finished, if you will give me your address," she said, as he prepared at last to depart. "No, I'll come for them," said the young man. "We might want to change them some way." "Perhaps that will be best," answered Alice Dennison demurely. The following week the curtains were finished. "I wish you could put them all in place," he said. "You have no idea how you have helped me!" "Is everything else ready?" "There--there isn't anything ready except the curtains," admitted Garry helplessly. "I wish I could get everything I need right here and you could help me pick things out." Most Human of All Animals. Man Who Has Had Long Acquaintance With Mules Speaks Good Word for Them. "A mule is the most human of all animals except man, and more so than a good many of them," said a man who has known mules intimately for 25 years. "In the mines where I have been foreman for a quarter of a century I have had a good opportunity to get acquainted with mules, and every chance I get I say a good word for them. "In the first place, they are sensitive creatures. It took a heartbreaking experience I had with several mules in a Pennsylvania mine to make me realize that. There had been an accident in the mine and during repairs the mules were taken above ground and put to pasture. The change bewildered them at first, but gradually they came to revel in the fresh air and tender spring grass. After several weeks we were ready to resume work and the mules were come in the morning," she smiled. "There must certainly be something in that house besides curtains!" The buying of furniture may be made a very interesting occupation. Alice, her thoughts centered upon the white house and the slender girl with the brown eyes, chose wisely. Garry willingly paid for anything she thought right. "Now that it is all ordered, how am I to know where to put it? You've no idea what an ignorant fellow I am, Miss Dennison," observed Folger, humbly. "I'll make a diagram of each room for you with the furniture placed as I should have it. She can change it to suit herself when she comes." "You are too good," declared the young man. Next day the diagrams arrived and Folger wrote a note of thanks. After a week of silence he wrote again for further information. When he called at the curtain department a week later, he found that she was ill. "It is the warm weather," explained her friend. "The city doesn't agree with Alice, but she cannot afford to get out of it." Garry Folger drove to meet the afternoon train a month later. "It is just clear providential," he thought, "that this vacancy occurred in our school. It is certainly just the place for Miss Dennison. I hope she will like it, and that Squire Green will like her!" The girl looked worn and ill as she came up to him on the platform. "This is so kind of you," she said quickly. "It is just the chance; I have wanted. I do hope they will want me!" The short drive to Squire Green's was made in silence. Folger waited in the buggy for her. When she came smiling down the walk he knew she had the school. "Will you let me show you the house before you go?" he asked gently. "I should love it," she answered, still smiling. When he helped her down at his own gate she wandered about the flower-filled garden while he tied the horse and unlocked the door. She followed into the spotless parlor. He flung open the windows and turned to her. "No one has ever seen this room except you and myself." "It is lovely," she breathed. "I never imagined it would be so pretty—and the garden is a dream. You did it alone? How pleased she will be!" "Listen to me, Miss Dennison. "You do not understand any more than my neighbors do. When I was a more baby Mr. Folger and his wife took me and gave me a name and a home. When they were gone I lived about the neighborhood working when I could and going to school as I might. "I do not know my name, or my age, or my parents. Through all the years of my childhood, I dreamed of having a mother who cared for me as other boys' mothers did. Since I have become a man I have dreamed of a home—and a wife. I had money and I bought this place, thinking it would be home to me. But the empty rooms mocked me. ; wasn't home, after all. I dreamed of the sort of girl I should like to bring here. I filled the garden with flowers for her. I furnished the house—with your heaven-sent help. I have been a fool in a fool's paradise!" "Then there—is no girl?" she asked softly. "There wasn't when I began," he answered quietly. "And now that there is, what have I to offer her?" "You said she was small and gentle and had brown eyes," reproached the girl. "She is—she has," he responded miserably. "I think you have a great deal to offer her." The girl's voice faltered as her eyes wandered through the muslin-curtained window to the fragrant garden. "Alice!" He held out his arms to her. She put her steady little hands into his trembling ones. "If you only knew, Garry," she said happily, "how I have envied that other girl!" Weary from her long stretch of work, the stenographer sought her September solitude among the healthy hills of Halehearty. The advertisements had attracted her. Halehearty was described as the best, prettiest, finest and everything-elsest spot in the wide, wide world. "Tell me," she said on her first day, when she met a stanch old relic of the district, "what is the death rate in Halehearty?" The local walking advertisement nodded his head reassuringly. "Won'erful steady, ma'mam—won'erful steady!" he replied. "One death to each person right along!" corralled for service. At the head of the shaft the smell of the mines struck their nostrils, and those mules knew as well as you or I what was happening to them. Then ensued one of the most pitiful scenes I ever witnessed. No human being sentenced to life imprisonment ever plended more earnestly for mercy. There was a human note in the cries of entreaty that smote on the heart of every man who helped to lower those mules to their life of darkness and drudgery, and not one of us has ever been able to forget it."

Adams, City My Dear Mr. Adams: As [had the honor, if such it may be denominated, of ‘being the first editor of THE APPEAL, then known as the “Western Appeal,” I have watched its course with, perhaps, more interest than that’ generally evinced by others. Having been so the hardships that surrounded it then, and doubtless do still, I can more fully appreciate the efforts you have put forth in maintaining Jt and conducting it on the high plane upon which it 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 fleld 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 beon in existence ‘since June 1885, and you became associated with it in that this fact should entitle you to 1886, this year is the twenty-fifth year of your connection with it as editor and manager, and I beileve some special consideration at the closely connected with its early history, and knowing something of hands of the people whom you have served so long and well. Last year, through your efforts, the twenty-fifth anniversary of the birth of the paper was celebrated in a 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; and, I am one who delights “to do honor unto those to whom honor is due.” And I believe the people of ai. 3) > cee eee Pe: See ae ® ; Bo sy oy ‘ Be ie Ae wie SG > ; iviad a ‘- he L Ee i a CPi / (e it CLARENCE CAMERON WHITE, VIOLINIST, Who Will Appear at Dyers’ Music Hall, Nov. 8. St. Paul, and throughout the state, will be glad to join in celebrating your twenty-fifth anniversary as edit- or of THE APPHAL, Your able management of the Quarter-Centennial Celebration of THE APPEAL last year, was seen and recognized by every one who was present; and, if you, yourself, will take charge of the matter as you did then, I am confident that the public will feel satisfied that everything that can be done will be done to make the oceasion a grand success, and that with me the people will willingly say: ‘Just you go ahead and we'll hold your coat.” Very truly yours, F: & Parner. Minneapolis, Minn,, April 26, 1911. J. Q. Adams, 'Esq. St. Paul Minn, Mr. Editor: 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 success, 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 those who, for some reason or another, were de- prived 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 occur: this year; and I feel that this is an event as worthy of being celebrated as the birth of the paper; if not more so. For, it undoubtedly is ow- ing entirely to your managerial abil- ity and indefatigable labors. that THE APPEAL has been enabled tc withstand the storms that have wrecked many like ventures upon the rocks of adversity. And it does seem 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 2 testimonial on 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 I know it will, the patrons of THE APPEAL and your friends generally 7, that you proceed to carry out that idea along the lines employed in the Quarto-Centennial Celebration of THE APPEAL last year. I have no especial suggestions to make, as the success of last year’s affair, as well as many other social functions that have been under your control testify to your exceptionable 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. I am satisfied that I voice the sentiments of the people of Minne- apolis. Respectfully yours, R. S. Brown, M. D. The: Celadoation. enth and Franklin streets. The halls are considered to be among the nicest obtainable in the city, and all three were used on this occasion, One as a parlor or recep- tion room, the other as a supper room and the largest as the auditorium for the exercises and the grand ball. The halls are all elegantly furnished with leather upholstered furniture and have splendid large rugs covering the floors. Every effort had been made to have the people come early, but, as usual, it was 9 o'clock before the ex- ercisés began. ‘The hall has a large platform about the center of one side, and seated thereon were: Governor A. 0. Eberhart, Mayor H, P. Keller, W. T. Francis, Esq., Master of Cere- monies; Father Stephen Theobold, W. R, Morris, Esq.; F. L, McGhee, Esa.; B.S. Smith, Esq, and Editor J. Q. Adams, By this time the hall had been com- fortably filled with what has been con- ceded to have been the swellest and most representative audience that ever graced a similar occasion among us ‘There were between four and five hundred present during the evening. ‘The program, a fac simile of which appears on tihs page, was carried out to the letter, After an overture by the MeCul- lough Orchestra, Father Theobold of. fered the invocation, as follows: Invocation. ©, Almighty and Bternal God, Crea- tor ‘and Ruler of the Universe, who | desirest_ that we, Thy creatures, should honor and’ invoke Thee, our mereiful and loving Father, in all our needs and on all occasions, We ac: knowledge that without Thee we can do nothing because Thine Almighty providence governs all and Thine Ai- mighty Hand sustains all. Look down | propitiously, “thererore, "we beseech Thee, upon us, Thy servants, gathered here ‘this night, to perform’ with one mind and with one heart and with one soul a work of brotherly love, in rejoicing with one who rejoices, and in giving thanks, for Thine innumer- able mercies and blessings showered upon him and upon thoce nearest an¢ dearest to him. Says the Psalmist David: “The merey of the Lord te from everlasting unto everlasting upon them that fear him, and His Jus tice upon children’s children unte such as Keep His covenant and arc mindful of His commandments to de them,” Every good gift and every perfec | sift 1s trom ‘Thee, 0 Heavenly Father and if Thou hast care for the birds o! the air and the beast of the field, has! ‘Thou still more care for Thine owr children? It is, therefore, to acknowl edge the guidance of Thy Providen tial Hand in directing the efforts of our brother throughout his 25. years | of successful public service in the cause of good citizenship that we send up to Thy Throne a chorus of thanks giving and praise this night; and since it is ‘Thy Will, as expressed by the Apostle Paul, that whether we eat o1 drink, or whatsoever else we do we should do all to Thy glory, we be seech Thee to grant us Thy gracious assistance so to rejoice this night that our rejoicing may be as it becometh Thy children, and not redound to our shame and discomfiture in Thy sight We ask this in the name of Thy Sor Jesus Christ, our Mediator, who with | Thee and the Holy Spirit ‘liveth anc reigneth, One God, for ever and ever Amen, When W. T. Francis, master of ceremonies, arose to open the pro gram at Editor Adams’ 25th anniver sary celebration, he faced an audience in which the culture and refinement of the Twin Cities was represented more largely than, perhaps, upon any previous occasion, Mr. Francis said. “We have gathered tonight to pay a tribute of respect and affection to a man who has for twenty-five years served the interests of our dual com: munity in a manner that entitles him to all the honor we can pay. ‘The world admires stick-to-it-iveness, and jthls admirable quality aditor Adams possesses in a marked degree, We. his friends, have gathered here to do him honor. We have with us tonight the distinguished chief magistrate of Minnesota, the Hon, A. 0. Eberhart. Some people say that the ‘best thing in the world is a watermelon, unless, perchance, you have a better one; many of the people of Minnesota have sald that the best governor Minneso- ta has ever had was John A. Johnson, and this is true—until we find a bet: ter one in Gov. A. 0. Bberhart, who will now address you.” Governor Eberhart’s Address. Governor Eberhart, after paying a compliment to the well-groomed wom en and men before him, spoke, in part, as follows: “Mr, Master of Ceremonies, Ladies and Gentlemen: Your prosence here tonight is a splendid tribute to the man who for a quarter of a century has served not only the cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis, not only the state at large, but has served as well the interests’ of the entire country; for THE APPEAL is national in its scope. It is a beautiful thing to give our praise for accomplishments dur- ing the life of him who deserves it; too often we reserve our tributes un- til lying cold in death, he can no more appreciate the flowers we strew upon his bier. I congratulate you upon the idea of coming together in this way to celebrate with muste and song and Jaughter. I believe we would all be i _ 2ere is all too little of this in the | world.” | The Governor referred most feel ingly to his own austere youth spent in an atmosphere of strict religious observance, and regertfully remem bered that most of his years had pass. ed ere life's pleasures Were opened to for him, After’ paying a glowing tribute to Mr. Adams’ work, which he declared to be as onerous’ as the labor of a Governor, he continued: “I know that these beautiful young women I see before me are anxious to hear the many slendid numbers upon the program and to enjoy the dance which follows, but I feel that T must call to your attention the very great influence which THE APPEAL has wielded in bringing to St. Paul the Negro National Educational Congress next year. ‘This congress means much to St, Paul and Minneapolis, for education is the greatest factor as Well as the most essential in the de- velopment. of any people. It is through education that the problems of your people in the South must find solution. We of St. Paul expect to be brought in touch with the best of your race from the South land, and, as the chief executive of jour state, ‘and as a citizen of our city, 1 promise you that St, Paul will give [them of her best.” | ‘The Governor expressed the great pleasure it gave him to address. for ‘the first time in his career an. Afro- American audience. He concluded by expressing in the most earnest man- ner the hope that twenty-five more years might pass and find Editor John /Quiney Adams still at the helm, serv. ing his people as faithfully and'as ef fectively as today, ane a _ \ Sa \. / ! , « iy MAYOR H. P. KELLER te Ee a As the Honorable H. P. Keller, Mayor of St. Paul, who had occupied a place on the platform, arose to take his departure with the Governor, who had to meet another engagement, he was intercepted by the chairman and Presented to the audience. Though not on the program, the Mayor gra- clously gave voice to a few sentiments benetee. the occasioh; sentiments | which 80 eipcere and true as to awaken piston fouged applatse. “St. Paul's favorite basso,” said the chairman in introducing Mr. Harl C. ‘Walker. Even the severe cold from which “he was evidently. suffering could not conceal the beauty of Mr. Walker's voice, and the audience had reason to regret his inability to accept an encore to his splendid rendition of “Le Vallon,” “Realizing that Minneapolis has as |deep an interest in this celebration a: we of St. Paul,” announced Chairman Francis, we have given her almost as much of the program as we have kep\ ourselves. She has sent one of her |tavorite sons, a leading lawyer and worthy citizen. I take pleasure in ‘presenting you Mr. Wm, R. Morris. Mr. Morris discussed “Mr. Adams as an Editor,” and said: [= a REV. STEPHEN THEOBOLD Church, St. Paul Mr. Morris’ Address. “Master of Ceremonies, Ladies an¢ Gentlemen: Good editors, like good poets, are born, not made. In order to be a good editor one must have s keen sense of discrimination, the power of assimilation, the ability tc instruct and select and the courage to combat the wrong and parise the right. He must have strength for re search, vast knowledge and the power of lucid, forceful expression and in: finite patience, All these essential qualities are found in Editor Adams For twenty-five years he has edited and published THE APPEAL, and it has not missed an issue. A remark able showing for any paper, and al: most marvelous among our people un. der the conditions and circumstances and obstacles he has had to surmount, Editor Adams has done a good work, a splendid work for St. Paul, for Min- neapolis, for Minnesota, and for hu- manity, and {s deserving of and has earned any honor that can be be- stowed on him or any appreciation that may be shown him. Paraphras- ing a little we may liken THE AP- PEAL to Tennyson’s brook,—News- Fate 8% Sut THE APPEAL goes on - forever.’ Nothing of a slanderous or immoral nature ever has appeared in | THE APPEAL, and during the more than twenty years that I have been a reader of it nothing has been pub. lished in it that would cause anyone |to keep it from his children. Quot- ing again from the same poet, ‘1 | dipped into the future far as human | eye could see, saw the vision of the world and all ‘the wonders that would be,’ and among them was the contin- uation of THE APPEAL under the guiding hand of Editor Adams. You have done a noble, a much-needed work, brother Adams, you have de- manded your rights, not because of | your color, but because you are a man, Everybody admires a. strong, courageous, high-minded man. { bring to you the congratulations and " felicitations of the people of this great state, and may you live long and con- tinue the good and magnificent work in which you have been engaged for | the last quarter of a century.” | Bulogizing further the life and work of Mr. Adams and commenting upon his influence in the community, the speaker in conclusion quoted the fol- lowing beautiful lines: “I would be true for there are those who trust me, I would be pure for there are those who care, I would be strong for there is much ; to suffer, I would be brave for there is much to dare, I would be friend of all, the foe, the friendiess, I would be giving and forget the gift, I would be humble, for I know my | weakness, I would look up and love and laugh and lift.” Following Mr. Morris, Mr. K. J. Hamilton gave a mandolin selection, Mr. Hamilton's. splendid’ technique was clearly shown in his rendition of “Impromptu,” and his number was heartily applauded. “Mr. Adams as a citizen will now |be discussed,” announced Chairman | Francis, “by one whom long residence |and intimate association entitles to | speak with authority upon that citi zenship. I take pleasure in present- jing to you Mr. Fredrick L, McGhee, [= ‘st. Paul.” Mr. McGhee’s Address, | “Words of mine,” began Mr. Me |Ghee, “can picture ne'er so well the value of Mr. Adams as a citizen as does this great outpouring of his friends and neighbors who have gath ered here tonight to do him honor, {| Words of mine can picture but faint ,|the value of that citizenship in com- , | parison with the presence here of his ,| Excellency the Governor of the State || and his Honor, the mayor of our city. | Upon what other occasion of the gath ering of the Afro-American citizens o1 ;|the great state of Minnesota has her ; | Governor seen fit to honor it with his >| Presence?” Mr. McGhee called by Name @ number of St. Paul's mos prominent citizens who were present *\and continued: “I speak of the pres ence here of these "men, ‘because i Know it is not known to many of you E/who yet can appreciate ‘most deep! ;| the respect to Mr. Adams as a citizer |and to the Afro-American people. o t|the Twin Cities, which their presenc */here implies.” ‘Defining the name o citizen, Mr, McGhee said: “Wher S| ancient Rome, seated upon her sever ‘| hills, ruled the then known world, the a | greatest honor that could be conferred S/upon any man was to call him a Ro ‘| man citizen, and if in that day of bar r baric splendor and incomplete civiliza 1) tion, the title of citizen was so highly | prized, how much greater the value o: | citizenship in this, the greatest age Sof history, and in this, the greatest [country of any age.” | ‘With “impressive eloquence _ the |speaker unfolded the many traits o | character which he had aided Mr Adams in building up a citizenship so [so useful and so worthy “that it de served to stand in future years a mon ‘|ument our youth may well emulate.” |Concluding, Mr. McGhee declared that jhe joined with the other speakers tr the sincere hope that many years would pass and find “Quincy” as he affectionately termed him, still at the | post of duty, showing to 4 future gen jeration, as to a past, the value which | good elaracter and right living add to effective citizenship. ‘The next number, Beethoven's Min. uet, a violin and plano duet, was given by 'Misses Edna Shull and Marienne Jeffrey of Minneapolis. ‘The engag ing presence of these little maiedns never fails to awaken keenest admira |tion in thelr audiences, and this was |no ‘exception, and their well executed efforts were warmly applauded. “To | show that we have no prejudice,” an- nounced the master of ceremonies, |‘ave will now listen to another law. yer, who comes to us from our sister city, and who will speak of ‘Mr. Adams asa Man’ I introduce to you Mr. B 8. Smith.” Mr. B.S. Smith’s Address. | Mr. Smith said: “Master of Cere | monies, Ladies and Gentlemen, if a stranger should come among us to: night and find this great concourse of | people gathered to pay a tribute of love and respect to this man, his firs jquestion would be, ‘What manner of man is this who has called forth this || unprecedented meed of praise and || honor?” and he would listen in amaze- | ment to the answer, ‘We have gath- .|ered to tender this token to one who ,has given twenty-five years of his Iife >| to one post of duty,’ nor would his amazement lessen when told that the » post was that of editor.” -| The speaker depicted the various | qualities of manhood which Mr. Adams -|had developed in rounding out his || quarter century of labor in behalf of {his people.

The two boys were artists of high order, and their beauteous music won a flat: tering encore. “We are now to have a treat seldom given us,” declared Mr, Francis, “for We are to hear Editor Adams talk.” | After the applause which greeted this announcement subsided, Mr. Adams was heard to say: “Ladies and Gentlemen: ‘The Master of Cere- monies is wrong, for I am a writer | and not a speaker, therfore, you are not to hear the editor talk, but,” draw- ing from his pocket his’ manuscript, “you will hear the editor read.” \ Mr. Adams’ Response. |.

This but reflects his sterling manhood and justifies this great gathering of his friends and ad- mirers. I do not know how many years Mr. Adams has lived, He does hot impress me as an old man, one Who has outlived his usefulness, and ‘it seems to me that you and I’ may well be justified in loping that an- other quarter of a century will pass and find him as he is today, a splen- did, useful citizen, a fitting model for our boys to copy; in brief, a man.” “We will now listen to a piano num- ber by a part of the Adams family,” said Mr. Francis in presenting Misses Adina, Margaret and Edythella Adams, The young ladies played to an enthu- siastic recall, Kela Bela’s “Lustspiel,” a sixhand arrangement for one piano. An original poem, “Greetings to J. Q, Adams,” by A. V.'Hall, was read by his sisterinlaw, Mrs. Ora Hall: “GREETINGS TO J, Q.” By A. V. Hall, Out of Despair’s cold mist, Winning by prayer and thritt, Into the twenty-fifth— Greetings to you. Come back along the way, ‘Twenty and five years today, When the poor black race lay Helpless, though free, ‘What a benighted throng, Scarce knowing right from wrong Only that prayer and song ‘Brought liberty, Lincoln had done his best, Douglass, and all the rest, Yet the great final test— What could WE do? Out of the doubt-filled air, Brightening our grim despair, God in His loving care, Sent us J. Q. Promised His aid to lend, Bade J. Q. take up his pen; BUY THE APPHAL and then— Fight for his race. And he has fought, and more, In the black race, heart-sore, J. Q. the editor, Fills well his place, God in Thy holiness, Grant that no black man rest, "Til he has done his best— With Thee allied. FREDRICK L. McGHEE Leading Lawyer, St. Paul I would be giving, and forget the gift; I would be humble, for I know my weakness; I would look up—and laugh—and love I would look up." My friends, I assure you that this occasion is one of the happiest periods of my life among you, and I hope may ever maintain the place that this large and representative gathering coupled with the encomiums extended, warrant me in believing I have in your esteem. There are very few persons who do not care for the good opinion of their fellow men, and I assure you I am not in the minority class. For the past quarter of a century, despite all counter influences—and they have been not a few—I have maintained THE APPEAL, it never having missed an issue in all that time. THE APPEAL may not have been; and, may not be now, all that some of you have thought it should be; and, in fact, it never was all I might, could, should or would have had it. No man has ever yet conducted a newspaper, or anything else, for that matter, that completely suited everybody—and never will. I might have done better, though, if I had had the proper moral and financial support the people in whose interest it has even been, and the several thousands of dollars justify and legally due the paper, which some of the people who receive it as regularly as it is issued seem never to think of paying. Why they do not treat their obligations to THE APPEAL as they do, or should do, other legal obligations I never could understand. One of the things I have always prided myself upon is, that I am not like the bird that befouls its own nest, and I have made it a rule to not tell all of the shortcomings, foibles, faults and frailties of the people of Minnesota; so I would not even let the world know through the columns of the paper that you were not properly supporting it. And, I will not further mar this delightful occasion by upbraidings other than to say each one of you knows for himself whether or not he is guilty as set forth in the indictment. I never proud that, directly or indirectly, I have been the means of bringing together this very large audience, and I hope each one present will fully enjoy this occasion, and when you depart for your homes you may feel that it was well to have been here. I know not how long I will be permitted by the Ruler of the Universe to encumber His footstool, but I shall in the future, as in the past, endeavor to merit the good will of the people of this commonwealth by doing as I have always done—the best I can. "When I am dead, if men can say He helped the world upon its way. With all his faults of word and deed, Mankind did have some little need Of what he gave"—then in my grave No greater honor shall I crave. If they can say—if they but can—"He did his best, he played the man; His ways were straight; his soul was clean. His fallings not unkind nor mean; He loved his fellow men, and tried To help them"—I'll be satisfied. But when I'm gone, if even one Can weep because my life is done, and feel the world is something bare Because I am no longed there; Call me a knave, my life misspent— No mater. I shall be content. And, now, my friends one and all A MME, FANNIE E. MOTIN, A. B. Instructor Lincoln Institute, Jefferson City, Mo.-Delegate, Will Appear at Auditorium During the N. N. E. Congress. in conclusion I wish to again thank you for your presence here; as whatever success has been attained it has been brought about by the moral and financial support you have rendered And, especially am I grateful to those who so kindly and gratiously have helped me to appear in the program of exercises. I thank you, again and again, I thank you. Miss Myrtle Mae Williams, called "St. Paul favorite musician," a graduate of the Boston Conservatory of Music, next entertained with a piano number, "Prelude, C sharp minor—Rachmannino" followed by "Caprice"—Leschetiksy. Miss Williams' renditions fully justified the esteem in which her musical abilities are held. The comis sketch, "Why He Left Home," with its author, Mr. Chas. Miller in the title role, assisted by Miss Gladys Wright, more than equaled the the flattering promises made by the master of ceremonies in introducing this talented couple. It was not only a scream, but an artistic production worthy of a place in highest audence, and only those who audited it laughed unjustly at its local hits and applauded to the echo its catchy music, can understand why it was unanimously declared the "piece de resistance" of the entire programme. In a programme of such merit as graced the Quarter-Centennial of Editor J. Q. Adams it must have been most gratifying to Mme Addie Crawford-Minor to receive the ovation which greeted the announcement of her name. The madame was never in better voice and the notes of her glorious music filled the hall with melody, and not until she had sung that old but ever new, "The Cows are in the Corn, Maggie," would her audience allow her to retire. Mrs. C. B. Yancy, of Minneapolis, graduate of Metropolitan School of Music, Toronto, Can., whose artistic performance at last year celebration of THE APPEAL won for her instant and wide spread appreciation, appeared in the closing number of the programme. Mrs. Yancy has lost nothing of her mastery of the piano, and in her three selections, "Summer Idyll" and "In Golden September" by W. O. Forsyth, together with "Witches Dance," by McDowell, gave a fitting final to the programme. Rev. J. R. White then gave the benediction. Following the completion of the programme the McCullough full orchestra took upon itself the burden of amusement. And thus to strains of sweetest music, beautiful women and brave men danced the Great Celebration into history. The supper was not the least attractive feature about the celebration. The tables were handsomely decorated with potted palms, ferns and cut flowers, which were kindly donated by Holm & Olson. The cullinery department was managed by Messrs Lewis Carter, Robert Morris, Frank B. Beverly and J. R. Lawrence with a number of assistants. Mr. Ora C. Hall acted as ticket seller and performed his part well. Mr. R. M. Johnson was door keeper and they did not get by without a ticket or the "squigelum." Mississ Elenor Barksdale, Mamie Goins, Martha Goins, Ruth Charleston and Eddetheta Adams distributed programs and served punch. Miss Adina Adams received ticket Margaret Adams distributed, hdgdgs J. Q. Adams, Jr., Paul Church and Maurice Goins had charge of the cloak room. Mr. Owen Howell directed the grand march which was led by Editor and Mrs. J. Q. Adams and participated in by about 150 couples and was very grand indeed. The gentlemen present as a rule were in full dress and the ladies never looked better as may be judged from the following list of costumes of a few that were noted. Mrs. J. Q.

The Newly Organized Fraternal Organization Which is Making Great Progress. A fraternal beneficiary association to maintain and perpetuate the principles cherished and practiced by the "Knights of Alpha and Ladies of W W R S O G W W G S O R K OF A L OF O Omega," who have taken the vows of Brother and Sisterhood, creating a bond of unity not to be broken until released by death. The symbols and rituals are masterpieces of thought painting and word REV. J. R. WHITE Founder of the Order and Supreme Controller, K. of A. and L. of O. conception appealing to the noblest elements in human character, and serving as stepping stones to the highest aims in life, by weaving into the human character of men and women the fundamental principles of loyalty, justice, truth, charity, silence, hope and wisdom. The worth of honorable womanhood is recognized in the Omega Temples and rewarded by advancement to the Supreme Assembly side by side with Supreme Sir Knights, as equal helpers in exterminating ignorance, sickness and insurrection. This order provides the care of the sick, relief for the distressed; buries the dead, and educates the orphan and assists the widow. In accordance with our belief, education is one of the great factors in the uplift of the race, and that every P. S. S. Gir Knight Supreme Notary method of developing a nigher type of man and womanhood, will prove a good investment upon the effort. These gems of thought are seeds of truth to be planted here, there and everywhere, that they germinate, bud and blossom into a widespread harvest of Brotherly Love. They are like a ray of light penetrating the gloom of ignorance to banish that relentless foe—hardship and distress. The Order has had remarkable growth during the past year in several different states, and arrangements are being made for a State Grand Assembly in South Carolina, and a Grand Court of Honor in Colorado.

FRANKLIN Leading Young Lawyer of Minneapolis Wm. H. H. Franklin, attorney and counselor-at-law, 1020 Metropolitan Life building, Minneapolis, Minn, was born in Indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 11, 1879, and came to St. Paul, Minn, when about ten years of age. He attended the public schools, and studied law for one year in the office of Attorney Fredrick L. McGhee. Later (in 1904) he entered the law office of Attorney Wm. R. Morris, in Minneapolis, with whom he has since been continuously associated. In 1904 he began his law school studies at the University of Minnesota, finishing the day course in 1907, in which year he was admitted to the bar. Mr. Franklin's life has been some what rugged, but he has persisted, in despite of obstacles that would have deterred most men. He was reared, until ten years of age, by Quakers, in an orphanage; has been successively coachman, general teamster, ice-wagon driver, janitor, sleeping-car porter, bussman, waiter and shoveler; having W. H. H. FRANKLIN been the first Afro-American to work with pick and shovel for the street railway company of Minneapolis, for whom he worked during the seasons of 1903-4. He is slowly, but most surely, rising in his profession; building on merit, character, ability and firmly with the future, and those most truly eminent, noble and respected as his guide and inspiration. Being of an especially studious and retiring disposition, he is not so generally well known as are many men of lesser note in his profession. With him, his profession is both his vocation and his avocation. To his other practice, Mr. Franklin is local counsel for the following named corporations: Doran Manufacturing Co, and The Bailey-Nohner Co., of Minneapolis; Stanley Institute, Home Health Society, American Book Co., of Philadelphia, Pa.; Asklin and Marine Co., Menter & Rosenbloom Co., and American Adjustment Co., of Rochester, N.

DAVIS Proprietor of Coal and Wood Business 2849, 20th Ave. S., Minneapolis It requires lots of room to present the Davis name in full, just as lots of room is required to present all of the Davis physique, but Mr. Davis is a big man, not only in name and body, but big in his business ambitions and in those activities which make for valued citizenship. Long ago he resolved to become his own employer. Saving the money earned in several summers of work at the Yellowstone Park, he invested it in Minneapolis in a modest wood and coal business. Close attention to the business resulted in its gradual growth. A number of teams were added to the equipment, the teaming business entered into, a street sprinkler and route secured. Today the greater part of Mr. Davis' time is given to the supervision of the men who carry on his work. Mr. Davis is some power in the local political field. His level-headed counsel is often sought by the leaders of his party. In the church he is a prominent member. Big-hearted and fair-minded, his strength is a pillar upon which that organization can ever lean. 1. Mr. Davis is married and has an interesting family. He possesses in addition to his business, real property of growing value. THE FORAKER GAFF Minneapolis' Leading Restaurant. Minneapolis Leading Restaurant. Never-casing effort and unfailing faith in the appreciativeness of its patrons, have united to make the Foraker Cafe of Minneapolis, owned and managed by Mr. C Rutledge, the best downtown and most popular restaurant in the Twin Cities. Three years ago it entered its present quarters at 214 Third street south, formerly the site of an old blacksmith shop. Improvements began from the first day. Windows were made into doors; doors cut to windows; walls push back; gas and electricity inlet Today its snowy linen, bright cutlery and shining glassware, its clean and wholesome cuisine, served by neatly dressed and intelligent wattresses, lend it a charm not surpassed by the best the city affords. The place was named in honor of Senator Foraker, whose sincere friendship for the Afro-American people has won the making regard of mine host Rutledge. He is a man of great work the invaluable experience gained in his years of employment as chef on private cars, a knowledge of the wants o this people, the desire to serve them well and a spirit of good fellowship that is never failing. Mr. rutledge is a race man in the best sense—always looking for advancement; never begrudging the constant labor necessary to achieve it. At the Foraker, in addition to the usual daily papers, the leading race journals and magazines from all over the country may be found on sale. increasing business has hastened Mr. Rutledge's interest, hence his ideas of expansion may be realized. He has secured a lease of the commodious and centrally located rooms at 511 Fourth avenue south, where shortly the Foraker will be prepared better than before to serve its old patrons and meet new ones. MRS. MAMIE DONAVAN. President of the Minneapolis Charity Club. To mention the name of the Minneapolis Charity Club is to bring to mind the word, the word, the word. MRS. MAMIE DONOVAN van, its capable president. Likewise, to speak of Mrs. Donavan invites attention to the Minneapolis Charity Club. In the minds of those who know them both, they are inseparably mingled. In the field of organized effort in which the women of the day are devoting so much of their time and study, the Minneapolis Charity Club taken an advanced and an aggressive approach. In keeping with the best accepted methods, it has reduced the distribution of its charities to a system through which the needy are helped, and the unworthy are exposed and denied. The vigor of its work owes much to the genius for organization of its president. Mrs. Donavan is a woman of commanding presence and winning personality, combining strength of character with a charming suavity. Through her efforts the society has been brought into working contact with the city's charitable department, with other accredited avenues by which the The practical success of this work, the old men and women fed and clothed, the sick visited in the hospitals, the little children taken from the streets and sent to school, the young girls helped to places where maintenance and self-respect are equally possible—these have not only drawn the attention and won the attention of the people behind the small measure but a new appreciation for the possibilities of organized Afro-American womanhood. As the head and directing force of this helpful organization, Mrs. Donavan has often been called into consultation with the women of the other race, whose club work enters the same field of philanthropic effort. It is confidently predicted that the Minneapolis Charity Club and its president, Mrs. Mamie Donavan, will have a commanding place in the future of the Afro-American people of Minnesota. It is also confident of being the only Afro-American member of the Minneapolis division of the National Sunshine Society. MOSES McCLURE A Highly Respected and Substantial Citizen of Minneapolis. The subject of this sketch, Mr. Moses McClure, is one of the substantial citizens of Minneapolis. By careful and painstaking attention to the duties of the moment he has won an enviable reputation for responsibility. Thus as the years have gone by his worth and character have brought him larger and larger opportunities. Today he has complete charge of the affairs of the York hotel, an hostelry which does a business that annually runs into the thousands. The owners of this business realize that its present prosperity rests upon the care and foresight of Mr. McClure, and are well content to leave the many details as much larger policy in such capable hands. Mr. McClure has been for a number of years a member of the Odd Fellows fraternity, and to the business of his Order brings the same fidelity, the same thoroughness. Mr. McClure is a strong supporter of the church in all of its activities. His name is especially well known among the societies presided over by the women of the church, for a more liberal contributor to the various efforts which their lives bring them, and not afford. Mr. McClure is married and has one son, Albert, a violinist of much promise. Hose Co. No. 4 Minneapolis Chemical Engine Co. No. 7 was placed in service July 1, 1907, by Chief Canterbury despite strong opposition by residents living near the station, who objected to Afro-American firemen. The chief told the malcontents that the company would stay, and now, after a little over four years, the company has, by strict attention to duty and efficiency in their work, won the goodwill and respect of the entire industry. In March, 1911, the company was changed from a chemical to "Hose Company No. 4." Frank S. Harris, lieutenant in command, was appointed to the fire department as pipeman Feb. 1st, 1903, and assigned to Hose Co. No. 13, where he served until promoted to lieutenant on June 30, 1907, and was pipeman of Station No. 24. Archie Sprague, Sprayer, entered the department as a substitute member August 18, 1907, filling a vacancy until Jan. 1, 1908, when he was appointed as a regular member. James R. Cannon, pipeman, entered the department as a substitute on August 22, 1907, and was appointed as a regular member Feb. 1, 1908. Joseph D. Kirk, driver, entered the department as substitute May 6, 1909, and received a regular appointment June 1, 1911. William Newton entered the department as a substitute August 1, 1911. GEORGE HOLBERT Among the prominent young men of Minneapolis, who are not identified in a business way with the city's growth, but who by intelligence and consistent, faithful service, add dignity to the ordinary avenues of the working men, Mr. George Holbert is easily in the lead. Early in life he studied for the law. The result of that training is shown to-day in his keen, analytical mind, his easy flow of convincing English, and in his ability to quickly grasp an advantage for his fellow workingmen. Possessing physical characteristics which enable him to be taken for anything but an Afro-American, he has ever, like a true race man, thrown his lot in with his people. At various times, he is the position of advance agent to road shows, and he his gifts of mind and person rendered him especially valuable. His interests at home caused him to refuse a similar position with the "Williams and Walker Company" when that organization was in its zenith. Mr. Holbert is well known in the Forum and other societies devoted to his people's uplift, where his ready mind will in full debate is in frequent demand. Tonsorial Parlor, Real Estate and Rental Property, S., Minggapia. HENRY L. VINEGAR Though not the oldest in years, Henry L. Vinegar is perhaps the oldest barber in point of service in Minneapolis, certainly, he is the best known and most popular artist of his craft in his home city. Mr. Vinegar is an earnest advocate of publicity, and through the public he keeps his name and his business ventures continually in the public eye. A few years ago he determined to enter into the Real Estate and Rental Business. In spite of the many discouragements attending his way into this new and untried field, he persevered and has succeeded to a gratifying degree. A number of important deals in dirt and a growing rental business have lent him encouragement and he has in prospect a large increase in facilities for caring for the house. Mr. Vinegar is himself a property owner, possessing a valuable homestead on the outskirts of the city, where he indulges his passion for chicken raising. Mr. Vinegar is a progressive and up-to-date citizen, and his example in encouraging other young men to embody business ventures is beyond compare. HERBERT PARKER Proprietor of Tonsorial Parlor and Pool Room, 216/216½ Washington Ave. So., Minneapolis. Herbert, better known as "Herb" Parker, is among the younger of Minneapolis business men. His up-to-date shop and billiard hall is located at 216 and 216½ Washington Ave. So, (see cut). To Mr. Parker must be given the credit of bringing the barber business from its low estate of basement quarters and uninviting equipment to its present plane of large and airy, sanitary first floor situation, with every modern requirement. The artists whom he employs are the best to be had. Dressed in immaculate white, together with chairs of latest design, with mirrors on every side his place presents an appearance of neatness and business activity unusually attractive. Porcelain bath-tubs, with hot and cold water, a plentious supply of linen and every bathroom equipment, courteous attendants unite in making this establishment a model of its kind. That its comforts are well appreciated is fully attested by the large and growing patronage of its customers. Connected with the shop is a large pool hall. Two pool tables and a billiard table, each of latest pattern, a glass cigar stand and case kept filled with high-class goods, a shoe shining stand built of marble complete the furnishings of this admirable concern, of older as encouraged. Mr Parker. The great "Herb" is no small factor in his continued prosperity, and his friends, be it known, are legion. At some future day the new post-office building will cover the block now occupied in part by the Parker shop. In anticipation of that time "Herb" is planning an establishment, the like of which, he says, Minneapolis has never enjoyed. ATTACHES AT STATE CAPITOL Who Hold Their Positions on Account of Merit.

Among the women of whom Minneapolis has reason to be proud, women who add to the charm of personality the more resplendent quality of usees, Mrs. Sadie Hammond finds a place. In the secret order, the church and the social center, she is equally well and favorably known. St. Peter's Methodist Episcopal church has especially profited by Mrs. Hammond's Christian usefulness, and for years her services have been given in its chair and its various auxiliary societies. The early years of Mrs. Hammond were passed in Des Moines, Iowa. She learned the profession of dressmaking, and became finished an artist that her work was known to and demanded by all the larger department stores of the city. At one time Mrs. Hammond entered extensively into business on her own account, and at this time employed a number of both white and Afro-American work people.

POET 3300 East Lake Street, Minneapolis (Dedicated to Proctor Knott.) Tomorrow, when the mist is creeping away I stand on life's brink most tired of play, Strange, ominous sounds will be diminished Tomorrow, when laughter is ceased, clanging of cars and the bustle of this life is finished. Tomorrow, my present faculties shall be enlarged fifty thousand fold, my ears open to divine harmonies of eternal space. Tomorrow, mine eyes will behold dear ones that passed to and fro, like visions, face to face. Tomorrow, the blazing sun, in all its grey, will welcome me to its depth of mystery whil'e on my way. Tomorrow, I will count the millions of thoughts which make up unwritten history of millions of minds in a single day. Tomorrow, I'll say farewell to science, art and literature, which has satisfied the brains of the wisest and hearts of the best. Tomorrow, the hiss, the jeers, while conquering armies of pessimism and egotism increases the preciousness of final rest. COMING. THE NEGRO NATIONAL EDUCATIONAL CONGRESS...WEEK OF JULY 15, 1912.

MARY McCLURE. Minneapolis' Popular Hairdresser. Mrs. McClure is a hairdresser possessed of exquisite taste. In the making of the puffs and switches and the attractive adornments which add so greatly to the femine headgear, she has a skill that amounts to positive genius. From the classic precincts of Lowry Hill to the less pretentious districts of the city the evidences of her craft crown the heads of many of our sister citizens. Mrs. McClure's work is not confined to one race; her clients are numbered among both whites and Afro Americans. Mrs. McClure has often been urged to open a large establishment. Unfortunately, the peculiar skill with which she is gifted cannot be delegated to others. For this reason she prefers to undertake the more onerous, yet more satisfactory method of attending to her work unaided. By MRS. MARY McGLURE occasional visits to the east, and by correspondence with centers of fashion, she keeps in closest touch with the latest modes, and her work in consequence is always up-to-the-minute. In addition to her qualifications as a business woman, Mrs. McClure is a devout church woman, a sympathetic and interested mother. Her sterling demeanor aptly applauded by her many friends and acquaintances. She is a sister to Prof. Howard, the well-known teacher of music. With her husband and son she lives at 415½ 6th Ave., So.

Its membership, which is very large, is composed of the best element of our race, and its roster has on it the names of men, who in every way are a credit to the organization, which secured its charter in 1901. The club rooms are located at 115 E. Third St., St. Paul, and its appointments are in keeping with the class who enjoy its comforts. The library and reading room is elaborately furnished in Mission style, and the library contains congressional records, late editions of current literature, and volumes from our best authors. The pool and billiard room is also quite a feature. The whist-room is large and well fitted with several tables, there are many hard fought games, which would command the criticism of the best players in the congress. It is gratifying to know that the men of the Twin Cities are able to support this club, and its members and their friends, whenever they pass en route always find their club rooms in good order and in charge of either of these officers. A splendid picture of the reading and billiard rooms is given elsewhere. Alex. Tucker, Pres. L. E. Turpin, Sec'y. Andy Combs, Steward. C. W. DWYER Mr. C. W. Dwyer is largely known throughout the country as the genial host of the Hotel Dwyer, which for years has cared for the traveling public passing through the city of Minneapolis. Mr. Dwyer is proud of his hotel, and not without reason, for its 17 or 18 modern rooms are always filled with such amenities. For a number of years Mr. Dwyer was head waiter at the Commercial Club. His success here was aided, no doubt, by his splendid physique, for Mr. Dwyer the ideal head waiter in build and temperament. Tiring of the work of the club, Mr. Dwyer took a shy into business, and, with his usual grit and perseverance, built up quite a lucrative fuel business. Mr. Dwyer is the fortunate possessor of a room with who has aided him in maintaining the popularity of the Dwyer Hotel, which may still be found at 220 South Washington avenue. PORTERS' AND WAITERS' CLUB A Pleasant Place for the Gentlemen to Spend Leisure Hours.

Boyd, treasurer; George Kelly, Secretary; W. H. Phillips, steward. The club is an incorporated institution and has been quite successful under able management of its genial president. Optician and Specialist on Rheumatism The subject of this sketch was born in Chicago and was educated in her DR. FRED C. NELSON public schools and Northwestern University; and, together with medical training at the University of Minnesota, we self-helped for his chosen profession, viz. Optician and Rheumatism Specialist. A grand demonstration of appreciation of worth was exhibited when the Reliable Athletic Club, a strong Caucasian organization of North Minnesota elected Dr. Nelson honorary president. Previous to this the Athletic Department of the University of Minnesota engaged him under contract as head trainer of the foot ball team with the entire squad under his charge by the direction of the coach, Dr. Williams. His seasons work was a grand success—not losing a game during the entire season and winning the championship for the year. In athletics Dr. Nelson is a long distance runner and has won medals in two marathon runs of ten miles, one hundred and seventy-six yards, from St. Paul to Minneapolis, and a number of shorter runs in Minnesota and Illinois. For a number of years he was a clerk in the Minneapolis post office. He takes great interest in musical and dramatic organizations, appearing as tenor, monologue artist or stage manager.
