The Appeal

THE APPEAL KEEPS IN FRONT BECAUSE: 1-It aims to publish all the news possible. 2-It does so impartially, wasting no words. 3- Its correspondents are able and energetic. nothing has been more influential in this direction than the improved means introduced for marking the boundaries of fields and estates. Nor has the pro- nunciation of words in this respect been con- fused by any means, which has been taken up country life as a fad and have the means to indulge every caprice in that connection. The VOL.27.NO.44. nothing has been more influential than the improved means introduced boundaries of fields and estate vision of better facilities in defined by any means to the way taken up country life as a faction to indulge every caprice in A TOUCH OF THE RUSTIC common-sense, every-day farmer is fully holding up his end of the responsibility of providing a more orderly countryside. Until comparatively recent years in most sections of the United States and even yet in many of the more newly settled districts, farm solely were considered solely from the standpoint of utility, was perfectly natural. A homesteader establishing an agricultural domain or a sheep and cattle ranch in territory recently opened to settlement has other things to think of beside providing ornamental boundary markers for his acreage. And anyway he has numerous heavy drums upon his pocketbook at such a time and probably can ill afford to go to anything fancy at such an juncture, even though he strongest inclinations he have everything about the place in apple-pie order. These considerations explain how it has been that as each section of the United States has in turn been settled the pioneers have availed themselves of the most economical means of indicating boundary lines. The farmer wants to have his lines, as vouched for by a surveyor, marked clearly, since that forestals trouble later on and he wants to keep cattle, etc., out of his cultivated tracts, even if he has no stock of his own that he wishes to restricted to a given area. But in the old days no farmer felt that he could afford to lay out much money in fixing such limitations. Almost invariably the pioneer or early farmer in any community was anxious to find material for fences on the place. This will explain the most universal use in our whole broad farm domain of the old familiar type of zigzag rail fence. And just here he it noted that it is an admirable type of fence, too. Cheap to construct, if the rails be split from timber on the place; easy to keep in repair; substantial and enduring; is calculated to yield excellent service. This is the characteristic of brahman Lincoln constructed and its fame may be due to posterity through the rails which are treasured as precious relics because he split them. later on and he wants to keep his cultivated tracts, even if he own that he wishes to restrict. But in the old days no one could afford to lay or fix such limitations. Alm pioneer or early settler it was anxious to find matter which would be universal use, our main of the old family type. And just here be admirable type of fence, too. If the rails be split from the easy to keep in repair; substa it is calculated to yield excis is the type of fence that Alm The early settlers in stony districts, such as New England and certain sections of New York, including the famous Mohawk Valley, in many instances made their first fences of stone. In this respect they were in one sense ahead of their times because stone fences are constructed nowadays because of their artistic and pictureque attributes and are preferred by people to whom expense is no object. As a matter of fact a fence once stone was never a cheap form of construction, the things it has always been an extravaganza as compared with a fence, but the consideration that leads to its selection in many localities was that the land had to be cleared of stones are it could be filled. It was no more trouble to pile the stones thus collected in the form of a fence than in a pile which would serve no good purpose and it took less time to arrange the stones along the boundary lines than to cart them to some distant dump. So the average farmer working such land killed two birds with one stone, so to speak, and set up fences that in most localities have endured to the day. The appearance of the wire fence and particularly the barbed wire variety worked a new in fence building in our rural district, has ever contended that the average wire fence was anything very beautiful to look upon, but it has been a boon to thousands of farmers in THE APPEAL. and with no wire fence concealed is seen much more frequently than formerly as one traverses the most traveled roads in America. Such hedges, however, usually bespeak the indulgence of some wealthy land holder who is willing to spend freely for the sake of appearances. The invasion of the country districts by this leisure class, retired men of means and so-called gentlemen farmers, has also resulted in the appearance of great numbers of stone and concrete walls. Of course such barriers, likewise the ivy-covered brick walls, are costly and particularly so when we take into account the massive gateways which have usually been provided in such concrete walls, however, these such walls add much, in the estimation of most people, to the beauty of our rural landscapes. Indeed, it is the walls and hedges more than anything else which cause returned travelers to grow enthusiastic over rural England. The iron fence has shared in the stimulated activity but the iron fence, alike to the stone wall, calls for a pretty heavy outlay, although if it is kept painted it will endure for so many years that it is rendered fairly reasonable in the long run. The picket fence, preferably painted white or white and green, continues to have many stanch friends among the farming class and the running board fence which is said to have originated in New England has spread to many other sections of the country and taken on a few frills suggestive of the designs of "barred pie." Rustic work when well done is always mighty effective in any rural surroundings and the picturesque appearance of the logs with the bark on is heightened by the introduction of some bright-hued posies. Another latter day development is seen in the latitude now manifested in the height of the fences in the rural districts. A generation of the houses were about the same height. Nowadays the fences are some instances where the fence or hedge is purely ornamental its height is very much restricted whereas on the other hand it is not unusual to encounter a wealthy land owner whose desire for privacy has prompted him to erect—at least in the immediate vicinity of his dwelling—a wall so high that a man on horseback cannot see over it. A comparatively low stone wall surmounted by a high iron fence is another form of construction that has been introduced extensively. Sometimes the proverbial "small brother" proves himself a remarkably well informed if tacitess person. The brother of a certain confident damsel thus recently addressed a shy and shrinking suitor. "Mr. Jones, are you going to marry Sister Ruth?" "Mr. Jones (blushing and disconcerted)—Why, sonnie, I—er—I really don't know, you know! Small Brother (with a giggle)—That's what I thought.

Indeed, a close growing hedge reinforced by a wire fence has a twofold value as a preventive of trespass by man or beast and many persons of wide experience declare that it is the ideal form. The hedge may be permitted to grow to any height and therefore is, of course, no necessity for a farmer to plant it, as it is trimmed in symmetrical fashion as is done with those in the formal gardens of the rich.

FAMOUS SUFFRAG(S) Early Struggles of Dr. Anna Shaw Head of the Suffrage Association, Who Won Success Against Many Discouragements. Boston, Mass.-One of the ablest leaders connected with the woman suffrage movement in the United States is Dr. Anna Shaw, president of the National Suffrage association. She started for Albion college, in Michi- gan, with just $18 in her pocket. She had earned that $18 by teaching school at $1 a week, and after she had she had to wait one year for the dog tax to be collected to get her pay. Dr. Shaw was born in England, like those other pioneers of the suffrage movement, the Blackwells. But her parents took her into Michigan 52 years ago, when she was eight, having stopped four years in Massachusetts on the way. They traveled days and days in an old-fashioned prairie schooler to reach their destination. Then they lived in a log cabin. The cabin was papered with spare copies of Horace Greeley's paper, and Anna learned to read from the paper on the walls, beginning with the big letters in the advertisements and progressing to the editor's desk. Miss Shaw spent four years in college and another four in the theological and medical schools of Boston university. Her people were deeply opposed to the whole plan, and told DR. ANHIA SHAW her they could do nothing whatever to help her. During that eight years she had only $91 that she did not earn. She lived in an attic without any fire—in a Boston winter. She studied in bed to keep warm, her breath making frosty clouds upon the air. She had not food enough to satisfy hunger. One day she was sitting on the stairs. She had sat down because she felt too weak to get to the top. A woman she knew slightly came and asked her why she was sitting on her bed. She out she went away and borrowed 911 from another woman and gave it to Miss Shaw with the proviso that she was never to know from whom it came. That was the only help she had through her course. She repaid the money after she was graduated and never knew who lent it. But about this time she acquired the warm friendship of Mrs. Persis Addy, a widow. During the final year of her course Mrs. Addy took her into her home, and though the student paid she had for it she had been paying. she had for it she had been good home and the care of Mrs. Addy. Mrs. Addy had planned to go to Europe and take Miss Shaw with her as soon as the latter should have finished her course. She died just before commencement, but in her will left Miss Shaw $1,500 for the specified purpose of taking a European trip. When she was planning this journey Mrs. Addy's father said to her: "Now, you will spend that money and it will be gone forever. Instead of cash, let me give you two bonds the bonds for security to you $1,300 on them. When you get to them you can repay me as convenient, and when it is all paid the bonds will be yours again." She did this, and having acquired a certain sentiment about the matter, has done the same ever since. She has left the bonds on deposit and let the interest accumulate, and they have paid the actual travel expenses of her three trips to Europe. Miss Shaw took the medical course because during her theological course she did missionary work in Boston. She found, to use her own words, that she "had nothing the people wanted." They did not want either her theology or her gospel. They wanted help in their material lives. She took the medical course in order that she might give them free medical treatment. It was as a missionary doctor and praacher in the slums of Boston that Miss Shaw became convinced that there were certain duties in an all male government which called for political power in the hands of women. She had always believed in woman suffrage. Now she decided to work for it. She began to speak for the Massachusetts Suffrage association and from that grew her national work. CHURCH BUILT OF FOSSILS Building Constructed of Blocks Hewed From the Petrified Deaths of a pathogen Mumford, N. Y.—In Mumford is a church building constructed of fossils. At first glance the walls appear to be constructed of rough sandstone smeared with an uneven coating of grity, coarse, plaster; but a closer view shows delicate traceries of leaves, lance-work of interwoven twigs, bits of broken branches, fragments of mossy bark, splinters of wood, all preserved against the wasting of time Mumford Church. and decay by being turned into the hardest of flinty limestone. Every block of stone in the four walls is a closely cemented mass of dainty fossils, literally packed and interwoven. There is no basic rock at all, but only fibres which give the rock cohesion and mass. The stones are light in weight compared with granite and sandstone. The blocks were hewed from the petrified depths of a nearby cedar swamp. Mumford is situated in the heart of the great area of rock, once the bed of an ocean, known to geologists as the Niagara limestone. It crops out either in the form of the soft, calcareous stone, or the hard, serviceable blue limestone. The clear, watery stream from innumerable springs or flows in frequent brooks throughout the Mumford country is alkaline from the lime held in solution. GERMANY'S GREAT MONUMENT Colossal Memorial Nearing Completion is Built to Commemorate the Battle of Leipzig. Leipzig, Germany.—Perhaps the most colossal monument in all Germany is nearing completion here. Leipzig was the scene of three noteworthy battles—two in the Thirty Years' War and one in the Napoleonic wars. The monument is to commemorate the battles between the French under Napoleon and an allied army of Austrians, Russians, Prussians and Swedes. The monument will be dedicated in October, 1913, on the battle's centenary. In the accompanying illustration the monument is shown as it will appear when completed. Some of the gigantic carvings—one of their forty feet high—are already in place. Even in Leipzig Monument, complete, the monument thrills you with its colossa. limensions. It is three hundred feet in height, but it is a mountainous landscape its tremendous height in minimized. It faces the city fronting a concrete lake several acres in extent. A broad boulevard will lead from it straight into Leipzig. THE DIMENSIONS OF HEAVEN Preacher Figures It to Be the Equal of a 792,000 Story Building. Louisville, Ky.—Heaven's exact dimensions were figured out in the sermon of the Rev. M. E. Dodd, pastor of a Louisville church, preached to his congregation recently. In the course of his sermon, the congregation said, "In Revelations, twenty-first chapter, sixteenth verse, nervous Christians have read where the dimensions of heaven are only 1,500 cubic miles. Immediately they jump at the conclusion that even this space will not accommodate the vast multitude of which the Bible speaks. "However, calculation will show that the vast multitude accommodate a building 792,000 stories high and easy to demonstrate that such a building would accommodate an inumerable multitude."

FJORDS OF NORWAY Torghatten Is a Perpendicular Giants' Cauldron. Natural Tunnel Bored Through Great Rock During Glacial Period—Looks as Though Chiseled by Hand Christina, Norway.—Like huge peptents of clear sea water the fjords of Norway wriggle miles inward into the land and offer to the eye some of the most pictureque landscapes in the world. At times the channel narrows between sheer cliffs to the width of a tourist steamer and then it suddenly borne over to an inland lake bordered with mountains to deep green pine forests. Farther north glaciers and snowfields come down almost to the water's edge and nature is barren excepting for a few hardy plants struggle for a bare existence. According to geologists they intricate fjords were formed by the movement of ice in the glacial period. One mass of ice spread from Russia across the Baltic sea and Sweden to the valleys of Norway; the other pushed eastward from the Atlantic and it was in these fjords, alpine valleys, that the two frozen streams each other, wearing away sea and stream until, when the ice melted, the valleys disappeared and fjords had taken their place. But gigantic rocks and peaks which had resisted the friction of the glaciers remained. There are at least 150,000 of these islands, some of them over 3,000 feet in height, and their grotesque shapes are not the least attractive feature in the weird panorama of broken sea and land. The most famous is the Torghatten, about five miles to the north. The Torghattan. of the Bindalsfjord in Nordland. Its shape, as indicated by its name, is that of a Norwegian market hat floating on the water and attaining a height of over 800 feet. What gives it its unique character, however, is a natural tunnel bored through it during the glacial period. As this tunnel was formed, some idea can be formed of the tent to which the soil was worn away. In reality this strange hole is a perpendicular giant's cauldron in whichstone, ice and water churned and swirled until they had perforated the rock in their frantic Arctic struggle and gained an outlet for the impatient masses behind. So perfectly did they carve the tunnel that in parts it was abseiled by the hand of man. On the eastern side it is only 64 feet high, increasing to 250 feet on the western. its length is over 500 feet, the walls are almost perpendicular and the floor covered with the debris of ages and with remains of the last struggle, just before wave and ice retreated. Gazing the spectator is bewildered with the curiously framed panorama of blue water, rugged coast and jagged islands, with perhaps a quaint Norwegian fishing snack silently pursuing its way southward. WAS BITTEN BY 2,000 DOGS Denver's Dog Catcher Holds a Record but Is None the Worse for His Experiences. Denver, Colo.—Two thousand dogs have now had luncheon off Hermann Carn, the official dog catcher of Denver, the last to take advantage of his generous girth being a hungry Newfoundland dog which embroidered his initials on Carn's back recently. Following his usual custom, Carn bathed the wound with carbolic acid, and then started off to provide a banquet for some other dog. Carn has been in charge of the bowwow bureau for years and picks up on an average of 10,000 stray dogs every year. At first he tried to keep track of his bites by making an entry in a book, but they came so fast that he had to buy an adding machine. Save for a couple of serious punches in his nose, inflicted by a peeveish paw, Carn's exterior appearance does not differ from that of the ordinary dog catcher. It is not until he disrobes, as he did one day recently at the request of the city officials, that the extent of his patriotic services become apparent. His exquisitely carved anatomy is a splendid tribute to the artistic marksmanship of the canine family. His legs look like perforated music rolls while his back resembles a cane bottom chair.

A Ri There are two writers of world-wide reputation who have by their recent statements in regard to the Atro- American aroused within us renewed hope, as they have attracted the at- tention 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 in- spired to write the book or, at least, to give it its title, from a conversa. tion with a young Afro-American who hed recently returned from Germany, where he had been engaged: in gradu- ate work. The young man in ques: tion 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 T ceased to be a boy he advised me to live in the north, where my man- ED EEE Eg ! | | ! rs | 3 ag ( 4 ee 5 Sages. eee a ae | a ae a a ae ie emia | ai ota PRESIDENT TAFT, Who was Heartily Welcomed on His Visit to Chicago and the Northwest SESE AIG See ea ae ae ey OQ See, KY WY SIR BS [XYZ DR.

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 ult mate 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 great- er 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 opportuni- ty” Thus it would seem that the con- clusions 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! At last a “perfect woman” has been found, She is the wife of a new Jersey man with whom she has lived for thirty-six years and has never, in all that time, spoken a cross word to him. No, she isn't dumb either, she is just a plain, honest, congenial woman who is in love with her hus- band and he says he would not sell her for $10,000,000, nor would he give ten cents for another one. ‘here are lots of men who would gladly sell their wives for a great deal less than $10,000,000, but they are not perfect women, of course.

Army, “Its usefulness in the army and navy I can give personal testimony to. When we have a club of any sort, or a thing that has to be described as a club in the army, what do we do? We look around for the sec- retary of the Young Men’s Christian association, because he knows how to run it. We have 5,000 Americans on the isthmus—more than that with their families. When you project a crowd like that into a small com- munity like the zone of the isthmus, one of the first things that results because of the withdrawal of home restraints is a tendency to dissipa- tion and vice, “We spent out of the funds we had to erect a canal a good many thou- sands of dollars to build clubs. ‘Then we went to the Young Men's Chris- tian association. We put their secre- taries at the heads of the clubs, and they have been. the greatest {n- strumentality for making life en- durable there and for keeping our employes out of mischief that we could possibly have, Lauds Work of Rosenwald. “Of course we have not the right to spend money just for charitable or general social purposes given to the construction of the canal, and there might be some stickler who would like to impeach us for. spend- ing money in that manner, but I am prepared to defend myself against an indictment for embezzlement in the use of that money for that purpose on the ground that the government got 50 per cent profit from the money 80 spent. “And that is why I am here, my friends, to testify to my intense ap- preciation of the patriotism of Mr. Rosenwald and the others interested in this development, and my belief that the colored men of Chicago could not have done a better work for themselves than to have brought about this Young Men's Christian association building. “I wish for it all the success that I know it is going to have in a con- tinuation of the influences with all the young men who come within the region where they can improve them- selves by becoming members.” OFFICERS.

FRIENDLIER RELATIONS. |The custodians of the $10,000,000 Carnegie Peace Foundation announc ed today a campaign of popular edu cation to establish friendlier relations between the United States and Japan. The division of intercourse and educa tion has arranged an exchange, “to give to each people better knowledge ot the other, and to help build up a public opinion in both countries that .will resist all attempts to arouse an itagonism.” If the Japanese find this plan neces sary to establish friendly relations be tween the brown man and the white man it would undoubtedly be an ex cellent scheme for the Afro-American |colleges in this country to exchange professors. {Tt would be of great benefit to the students of Vanderbilt Universit; j Nashville, Tenn., to have a few lec tures by Prof. Kelly Miller of Howard Prof. Pickens of Talladega _coule furnish new ideas to students at Wash ington and Lee University.

Music by McCullough Orchestra. The Hallowe'en party which was given by the Catholic Men's Club at Bowley Hall last Tuesday evening was a most delightful affair and was quite well attended mostly by young folks who always can have a good time if allowed to follow the bent of their inclination. Of course, the popular music played by the McCullough Orchestra was as pleasing as ever and was fully enjoyed. Mr. F. L. McGhee, who was sick for several days, has recovered. On Thursday of last week Mrs. Frances E. Preston, the well-known reader and W. C. T. U. worker, was entertained at 6 o'clock dinner by Mrs. Bettie Patterson Jones. Those present besides the guest of honor were: Mesdames Ione E. Gibbs, Idas Sellers, J. M. Allison, Mr. Hyatt of Minneapolis, Mrs. E. J. Murphy of St. Paul. Mrs. Jones was assisted by Mrs. Gertrude Barbour. While passing St. Paul Monday, Oct. 30, enroute to the coast, Mrs. J. A. Sales of 108 E. 12th street, entertained at breakfast Mr. and Mrs. J. Alfred Wilson and Mr. William Cumby. Wilson and Cumby are better known in vaudeville as the "Band Man and His Band." Mrs. Wilson was Miss Carrie Lee Allen, who once lived in St. Paul.

On last Monday evening the residence of Mr. J. H. Dillingham was the scene of one of the most unique and pleasant social affairs our city has ever witnessed. Very few men among us have ever had so spontaneous and unanimous expression of regard and high esteem bestowed upon them as the stag super which was given in honor of W. T. Francis Esq., by Mr. Dillingham. As is well known Mr. Francis, who has graduated as a stenographer, a telegrapher, a doctor and a lawyer, is the most follower of our city. He has been found in the fore front at all times and on all occasions looking to interests and welfare of his fellow men, and it was very fitting to thus honor him while he was living and could himself enjoy the enconiums which were justly bestowed upon him. It would be vain to attempt to tell of all the good things that were set before the twenty-nine gentlemen who gathered beneath the hospitable roof of the host as evidence of the rare culinary skill of his better half, and vainer still to tell of the good things said of the guest-of-honor. But some idea may be gleaned when it is told that the speakers were: T. H. Lyles, T. D. Parker, O. C. Hall, C. H. Miller, O'Howell, Walker Williams, B. S. Smith, C. S. Smith, J. H. Loomis, G. W. James, A. Payne, J. D. McCrackney, C. F. Adams, J. Q. Adams, W. R. Morris and J. H. Dillingham, all of whom outdid themselves in words of commendation, respect and esteem. The guest-men present were S. E. Hall, F. B. Simpson, Dr. Wolde Turner, G. B. Lowe, E. De Baptiste, Ed. James, R. D. Chapman, Geo. Wills, W. V. Howard, L. M. Terrill, J. H. Charleston, C. H. Booker, W. H. Parker Mr. Frances is at present chief clerk of the Legal Department of the Northern Pacific Railway to which position he rose by personal merit from office boy. He was the leading candidate for the position of minister to Haiti a short time ago and for which he is still in the lead, and it was in recognition of the magnificent showing he made in that matter that prompted Mr. Dillingham to give the splendid supper for which both he and Mr. Frances are to be happily congratulated. It certainly was good to be there as it was one of the jolliest and most helpful and uplifting social functions our city ever had. Fresh mined hard Coal is what we have for you HOLMES & HALLOWELL CO.

Held at Old Capitol Last Sunday for Crispus Attucks Orphanage and Old Folklore Hall Pursuant to a widely circulated call a large crowd of the citizens of the Twin Cities met at the old Capitol last Sunday afternoon for the purpose of furthering the interests of the Crispus Attucks Orphanage and Old Folks' Home. The meeting was called to order by Mr. J. H. Hickman and on motion of Mr. O'Howell, Mr. T. H. Lyles was selected as chairman. Father Stephen Theobold offered the invocation. Mr. O'Howell stated the object and aims of the meeting and exhibited a large painting of the proposed new building which is to be erected in the near future unless all signs fall. The I. X. L. band was present and discoursed splendid music. Mr. W. R. Morris made a splendid address. The orphans from the home under the direction of Mr. J. Will King, the matron, rendered a song delightfully. His Honor, Mayor H. P. Kellar, then made a splendid address full of words of good cheer and encouragement. St. Philip's choir rendered a selec Mrs. R. C. Minor played "America" in which all joined in singing. Mrs. J. H. Hickman made a splendid address, as also did Mr. Cardigan, Rev. A. H. Leatland, Rev.

Taken all together it was a splendid meeting out of which much good must surely come. Appeals will be made to the public for subscriptions in the hoped all will subscribe liberally.

The McCall Drug Co., 400 Second Avenue, So., Minneapolis, see advertisement in this issue, is one of the leading drug stores of not only the Twin Cities but of the entire northwest. They carry an up-to-date assortment of everything usually kept in a well appointed drug store, including a stock of fine candy, cigars, soda water, etc. That they are up-to-date is significant from the fact that of their employees four are Afro-Americans and among them are Samuel and Roy Scott, two very deservedly popular young men, who began at the soda foundation but now assist in all parts of the store. When you wish anything in their line call in and see Sam or Roy, they'll treat you right. Children Teething.

Be sure and ask for "Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup," and take no other kind. Twenty-five cents a bottle. The mother of Olga Wilson of 532 St. Anthony avenue, gave her daughter a very delightful Hallowe'en party Tuesday evening, in which about thirty young folks had a splendid time. The Art Club gave a Hallowe'en party at the residence of Mr. J. B. Stokes on Tuesday night. The guests were dressed in fantastic costumes and all had a jolly time. Whist was played and Mr. C. H.

The Next Attraction at the Grand Opera House. If Christianity and Judaism took the commandment "Love Thy Neighbor as Thyself" and contented themselves with interpreting the word "Neighbor" in a somewhat limited way, by applying it to the one who lives in "The House Next Door," then the sentiment of race hatred around which this beautiful, entertaining and morally educating comedy has been woven would be a thing of the past. It could no longer be the mainspring of a modern play. But alas, it is not the case and racial prejudice, above all—of Gentile against Jew—is a sad but real fact in life. Therefore, both Christian and Jew should be thankful for an opportunity to widen performance. It is a Next Door." It is play that on the whole should prove an efficient force on behalf of sympathy and good will between Christian and Jew. Both, in seeing it, will derive much pleasure and cannot possibly escape moral profit. While it aims merely to entertain it incidentally innoculates mutual understanding and amity between the two races. The original production of this great play will be the offering by the Schiller Amusement Co. at the Grand next week, commencing Sunday matinee, Nov. 5. 4 SUITS PRESSED VALET TAILORING CO 156 E.
