MARVELOUS PROGRESS OF ISTHMIAN CANAL BY EDWARD B. PEO VOL. 27. NO. 48. MARVELO ISTHMIA P RESIDENT Taft's word of hope that the Panama canal may be opened for traffic two years earlier than the time tentatively set by Chief Engineer George W. Goethals seems to have redirected the attention of the people to the marvelous (word used adverbly) progress of the fishman venture since the time when it was finally definitely determined that a waterway was to be opened through Panama and not through its sister necargrau vigorously his action Roosevelt recently has defended recognition in the case of the recognition Former President Roosevelt recently has defended vigorously his action in the case of the recognition MIDDLE LOCKS AT GATUN of the independence of Panama, an "overnight" proceeding" which made it possible for the United States to enter into a treaty with the twelve hour old republic which would allow operations to begin at once. Colombia has forgiven us for giving the Panamans recognition. Mr. Roosevelt said that if Panama has continued under the rule of Colombia the canal still would be flood, for the Colombians simply tempered with us and acted as if they thought that in seeking the strip of land for canal purposes, the United States had malevolent territorial designs toward all Central and South America. No one had any conception that progress on the canal would be as rapid as it has proved to be. Much more time was spent in talking prior to the beginning of operations than has been spent since in digging. Now that it is long in the past, the country is perhaps forgetful, but it may be of interest to remember that for many weary months the congress of the United States gave over to debate, discussions and even bleakers over the relative values of two routes for the waterway, the Nicaraguan route and the Panama route. Senator Morgan of Alabama, who died a few years ago, was an advocate of the Nicaraguan No one had any conception that progress on the canal would be as rapid as it has proved to be. Much more time was spent in talking prior to the beginning of operations than has been spent since in digging. Now that it is long in the past, the country is perhaps forgetful, but it may be of interest to remember that for many weary months the congress of the United States gave itself over to debate, discussions and even blackings upon the relative values of two routes for way, the Nicaragua route and the Panama route. Senator Morgan of Alabama, who died a few years ago, was an advocate of the Nicaragua route. He was an old man at the time that he undertook to voice sentiment and argument on behalf of the more northern waterway. He worked night and day, studying the questions involved from every possible viewpoint and the long speeches which he made on the matter in hand were written almost entirely by his own hand. He was indefatigable in labor, and what he did on behalf of the Nicaragua route and on behalf of the waterway scheme generally is best told in the words of Senator Jonathan F. Dolliver of Iowa. Dolliver, like Morgan, is dead. The Iowa was in favor of the Panama route, while the Alabaman was in favor of the Nicaragua route. The two men were opposed to each other politically, and the personal matters. When he deterioratediment caused to Morales, in his defeat of the Nicaragua project, Dolliver rose in his seat and paid this tribute to his aged colleague: "He stands here in his old age, one of the historic figures connected with this canal controversy. He may not be the man who began the discussion, but for nearly a generation he has kept it up. No man has ever exhibited within our knowledge any such marvelous industry, energy and sagacity as he has put into the argument for the Nicaragua canal. Day and night he has labored, not with the assistance of others, but personally, often with his own pen writing the speeches which have become the chief part of litigation which has resulted in unifying public sentiment in the United States in favor of the canal. "I regret more than I can say that he was disappointed in his own personal ambition in respect to the route that finally was chosen, but that does not prevent me from adding that long after the little controversies of this hour are forgotten, his name will be connected in immortal reputation with the Isthmian canal, wherever it is built." Few people probably have forgotten the first attempts of President Roosevelt and Secretary of War Taft to secure the service of a civilian engineer who would stick at his post until the Panama canal was dug. Three great engineers, one after another, resigned their positions as engineers-in-fief. It is perhaps useless to discuss the causes which led to the resignations of the civilian engineers. All sorts of stories were told, from fear of yellow fever to inability to maintain discipline the working forces. It is probable that one engineer's ears tingled for a long time with the ruble which was given him by Secretary of War Taft, who is now the president of the United THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1911 States. It was one of the severest scorings ever given a public official. Probably the country does not know the inside history connected with the final employment of army engineers to build the Panama canal. The engineer corps of the army at the outset thought that it should be given charge of the canal work, but influential civilians brought pressure to bear on the administration on behalf of engineers in civil life. It was said by certain civilians of prominence that the army was of great business propositions and that no army engineer ever had done a work of anything like the magnitude of the one proposed. There were all sorts of attempts to bellittle the engineering work of the army. This sort of thing had its effect, although it is probable that it was with considerable reluctance that the administration disappointed the proper ambition of army engineers to be assigned to the work of canal building. When three civilian engineers, one after another, had given over the work, President Roosevelt and Secretary of War Taft concluded that the time had come to give the army a chance. In effect the president told the secretary that no army officer would desert the task of building canals, and inculcated will to do his duty would keep him at the digging until it was finished, or until failure had come. Moreover, it was known that no army officer would flee in the face of yellow fever or in fear of death from any cause.

Goethals of the West Point class of 1880 was selected by the secretary of war to take up the work that the civilian engineers had dropped. Colonel Goethals is still at it and many other army engineers chose the outset as two chief assistants, Lieutenant Colonels David D. Gaillard and William L. Sibert, who graduated from the military academy in the class of 1884. Since that time other army officers have been detailed in addition to the three who were first assigned, three who are still working and who hope to be present when the first ship pokes its prow into the completed canal The army and the navy, though would most of the civilians the chief of the other military suggest tain tain.

Goethals is a most tactful man. With his assistants, he secured army discipline on the Isthmus without allowing anybody else to regulate recreation and they were coming under the guidance of rulers laid down for men who wear the uniform of the service. The army officers worked at first in a suggestive way. Men were directed to "trr" certain things and see how they came out. Trial was made and then other suggestions were made and finally the big working force found that it was living a regular, healthy life in a regulated recreation, and that it was possible to maintain other means than by drinking it in. Suggestion rather than command made a disciplined force out of the forty-odd thousand laborers.

He directs disease virtually has been killed and fast itself in a series of large, a large part of the food for the isthmus is purchased in the United States and it is shipped under the most favorable conditions. A paper called "The Canal Record" is published at frequent intervals and its last page is devoted to a list of the food which can be obtained at the commissary department, with the prices affixed. Living on the isthmus is just as cheap if not cheaper than it is in this country and the food is of the highest possible quality. Many of the civilian employees constituting clerics and engineers have been employed in the isthmus. They have fine quarters and they buy their food virtually at cost price. The army was on its metal when it was put in charge of the Panama canal building. Thus far, admittedly, its work has been nothing short of wonderful in all lines of isthman endeavor. It may be that President Taft's prophecy will not come true and that the canal will not be opened until 1915, but it should be remembered that the latter date is the one set for the opening by Colonel George W. Goethals, the engineer-in-chief. It is probable, however, that he hopes to see the procession of ships, with the old Oregon leading the group, the great waterway on some day within the next two years. NOMAN RUNS A BANK Sister of Jane Addams Heads Kansas Institution. Located in Girard Twenty Years Aged and on the Death of Her Husband Became the Bank's President Girard, Kan.—The morning sunlight filtered through the little window in the back office of the State Bank of Girard, and the bars across the window cast a network of shadows on the floor. The woman who sat in the heavy office chair behind the desk was fifty-eight years old, but her face showed scarcely a wrinkle, and the white in her hair glinted now and then by way of proof that it once was gold. The woman was Mrs. S. Alice Haldeman, and she is the bank's president. Mrs. Haldeman has another claim to distinction, for she is the sister of Miss Jane Addams of Hull House, Chicago. "Well, yes, I'm the president," she admitted to a visitor, "only I don't run the bank myself; we all run it together—that two men and I." It was 20 years ago that Dr. and Mrs. Haldeman came to Girard. The physician's health was poor, and the move was made on account from the home of their childhood in Illinois. "My husband became interested in the banking business shortly after we came here," Mrs. Haldeman said, "and he founded a bank of his own. We are the oldest bank in the county and have weathered three panics. "Dr. Haldeman died five years ago," she added, "and—and with the last words he ever spoke he meot me not to leave the bank. So I took charge, and I was able to help him with the work. But, pahaw, it's not interesting to tell you about myself—you THE STATE BANK OF CHESTER Mrs. Haldeman and Her Bank. just ought to know my sister, Jane, or my daughter, Marcel." Although her name seldom is written in connection with that of her sister, Mrs. Haldeman has done a great deal of work at Hull House. "I usually spend about three months of every year there," she said, "just to be with Jane and the girls she is helping through life; I have learned to love them all, and I look upon Hull House as my home. Home, that is, since my daughter has gone." Mrs. Haldeman's daughter has been on the stage for several years. She won't play in any cast in which work must be done on Sunday, and wherever it is possible she goes to Sunday school and teaches a class. "Do I find life here in Girard tedious?" No things move fast enough for me, with my club work and bank and letters and reading." The walls of Mrs. Haldeman's house are lined with shelves and on these are crowded hundreds of books. Above the shelves are pictures, drawings and paintings; of these last there is a life-size oil painting of her sister, and on pedestals and the grand piano is littered with books of classical music. On the center table there was a book of photographs and Mrs. Haldeman leafed through it slowly while she talked. They were old pictures of the old days, most of them showing scenes of the Addams home at Cedarville, ill. At one of the pictures Mrs. Haldeman paused. "That's the old mill at home," she said, and added after a moment, "Jane and I used to play hide-and-goose in that musty old place. Jane was the greatest little bunch of enthusiasm you ever saw, and she always was asking people to forgive her for the naughty things she fancied she had. And as she turned the pages of the book and saw once more the faces and scenes of the past her eyes became moist. MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY.

DREADED MAN-EATING SHARK Voracious Monster of the Deep Atkins Enormous Size and Devours Almost Anything. San Francisco, Cal.-This shark was caught in the vicinity of the Hawaiian islands. There are many species of sharks, this being of the "white" variety, known as the "manateer," and therefore the most dreaded of all monsters of the deep. They attain great size, one having been caught 37 feet in length. The body is covered with a hard skin, and is gray-brown above and whitish below. The sharks often follow ships for days to feed on the coral that may be thrown or may THE WHALE Caught in Hawaii. fall overboard, and often their indiscriminate voracity will swallow things indigestible. A lady's workbox was found in the stomach of one, and the papers of a slave ship in that of another. Human beings are frequently its prey, a fact which makes bathing or diving in tropical seas a dangerous pursuit. This variety of shark is capable not only of biting off the leg of a man, but of snapping the body in two, and has been known to swallow a man entire. Its head is large, the mouth large and wide; furnished with terrible teeth, which are triangular in form, sometimes two inches in breadth, sharp-edged and serated. When not in use they are laid back in the water, and when in biting, they are brought up by means of muscles with which each tooth is independently provided. This shark is often captured by seamen by means of a great hook baited with a piece of meat and attached to a chain, as the shark's teeth readily bite through any rope. When the shark is hooked and hauled on board, great care is necessary to avoid damage both from the mouth and from the wonderfully powerful tail.

Toddlig Boy Who Knows Nothing of War's Terrors or of the Present Turnoll Throughout His Empire. Peking—Little Pu-Yi is an innocent bit of a boy who knows no more of the terrors of war than of the mysteries of chop suey in an American restaurant. If he lives until February 8, 1912, he will be six years of age. During the last three years Pu-Yi nominally has been ruler of more than 400,000,000 people and of lands that occupy a greater part of the earth than is covered by the United States. Princes who hold high places in China are required to attain a high degree of proficiency, and Pu-Yi no doubt has been impressed with the cares of state. You may be certain that he cares less for crown and scepter than for such choice morsels or endearing caresses as may be permitted to one in his exalted station. Pu-Yi may be a tyrant in the eyes of his nurse when it is time for him to be tucked away in his imperial bed and insists it isn't time to go, but savants as well as servants bow to this gulleless infant. He is served, and adored, and he fondly dreams of being a Friend. His path may be made easy, time, but if he lives to bear the burdens of state there is danger that he may shink beneath a load of care. There is so much that is extraordinary in the history of China that it would require volumes to tell it. To western people much seems strange and paradoxical. The emperor is the "Son of Heaven" and rules by "divine authority," but arbitrary power is tempered in many ways. If he corruptly or unjustly heaven will send disasters and calamity on the people and then rebellion will be justified. Histories tell how dynasties have come and gone in the thousands of years that this wonderful land has Baby Pu-Yi. been under civilized rule, but in recent times no more interesting character has appeared to Tsi An, who has been called a "Bismarck in petticats." For many years before Tsi An died in 1908, she was virtual ruler of China. Pu-Yi would not be emperor of China if he had not been chosen by Tsi An. This woman is an example of the possibilities in the political system in that land. When Hien Feng acceded the throne in 1851 Tsi An was the fifth class. The real empress had the son and when Tsi An gave birth to a son in 1856 she was raised to the rank of empress. Hien Feng died in 1861. Tsi An practically ruled until her death, although there been nominal emperors—Tung Chi and Kwarg Su. The last named died almost at the same time as Tsi An. He was childless and Tsi An is said to have chosen his infant nephew, Pu-Yi, as his successor. Prince Chun, father of the baby, was appointed regent. Prince Chun is twenty-nine years old, and has exercised much influence at court since he was sent on a mission to Germany in 1901. Pu-Yi was proclaimed emperor he was declared the adopted son of the emperor, Tung Chun, in order to maintain an imperial tradition that had been violated by Tsi An when the late emperor came to the throne.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1911. PRESIDENT TAFT. Copyright 1909, by Harris & Ewing. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1911. "When we consider that all the races are moving on and up to a common goal it is fair to speak of them all as overlapping races. And the backward races are obviously rising faster than the white race. They are overtaking us. It fills us with admiration and alarm to see how close Japan and China are pressing upon us. When we see the Afro-American passing in forty-five years from total illiteracy to only 50 per cent illiteracy, when we find that they have come to own in this country farms equal in area to both Holland and Belgium, it is not hard to see that no people in history have risen so rapidly as they in an equal time. "In our united world the races of men can never advance separately. They must stand or fall together. Competition between them will be increasingly close in every line. There is bound to be conflict ahead greater and more far-reaching than the world has ever known—conflict between the races. The only question is, on what plane will that conflict be? It may be a doubtful physical conflict with untold suffering and horrors of war. Or it ```markdown ``` RACES RISING. M. HON. SHELBY M. CULLOM Illinois' Senior Senator and Grand Old Man, Who Is Receiving the Congratulations of His Host of Friends on His 83rd Birthday. may be a conflict of ruling ideas, a conquest of ideals stronger because higher, more loving and truer." The foregoing is from a sermon preached by Rev. H. E. Peabody, at South Congregational church, Chicago, and furnishes food for serious thought. The shoe shining business was at one time monopolized by Afro-Americans, but that was many years ago. In recent years the Greeks have taken up the business and hundreds have grown rich in business. In Chicago recently two Greeks, Georgis & Bugus, of 354 South State street, filed a lease for their eight-foot store at a rental of $275 a month, in the recorder's office. Arthur E. Holder, in a statement before the employers' liability and workmen's compensation commission at Washington, asserted that a man cannot get a new position after he is 40 years old. He said: "The man who is over 40 and who has a few gray hairs cannot get back when he once loses his job, but he can hold on if he has a place," he said. "It is the same here as in England, and it is the same in Germany and throughout the continent." The greatest banquet ever given to Republican leaders will take place at the White House, December 11, with President Taft as host. The National Republican Committee will meet in William J. Georgis, who is 21 years old, came to Chicago five years ago and obtained a place as a bootlead with Jim Bugus, who then had a shoe shining stand in the Palmer House. Later the two formed a partnership. Last February, Georgis, who is known to his patrons as "Little Joe," bought a lot at Sixty-third street and Fifty-sixth avenue for $7,500, and erected a brick building costing $3,500. Other Greeks have anassed fortunes of $20,000 to $50,000 in the shoe shining business. Conditions in Russia and America Similar. Mr. Suvorin, editor of the St. Petersburg Novoe Vremya, said in a recent interview: "I have nothing against the Jews personally, but as a Russian Patriot, I am opposed to them. If the Jews were given freedom in Russia, the entire native population, because it is so uncultured, would find itself in the hands of the Jews. All the wealth of Russia would go over to the Jewish people." He admitted that "the struggle is beyond question a savage one, but then our people are savages. The editor's statement is brutal and reminds one of some of the utterances of Tillman, Vardaman, Hefflin, Hoax Smith and other famous or infamous American statesmen. A recent census bulletin shows that the white population is increasing at a much greater proportional rate than the Afro-American population. Excluding Alaska, Porto Rico and the outlying possessions, the total population of the United States at the last census was 91,972,266, of which 81,732,687 were whites, 9,828,294 Afro-American and 411,285 Indians, Chinese, Japanese and other non-Caucasian races. The increase in the white population since 1900 was 14,923,491, or 22.3 per cent, as compared with an increase of 994,300, or 11.3 per cent, in the Afro-American population. V. M. M.

The greatest banquet ever given to Republican leaders will take place at the White House, December 11, with President Taft as host. The National Republican Committee will meet in Washington, December 11, to choose a chairman and the place for holding the national convention, and then at the banquet will be the largest gathering of Republican leaders ever held in the White House. "Deware of the political Pharisee who stands on political street corners drawling 'Lord, I thank Thee I am not as other men' and accusing public officials of dishonesty! Look out for that fellow; you'll find his hand in your pocket if you're not careful!" These were the words of Senator Jones of Washington in a recent speech in Chicago and they are very true William J. Calhoun of Chicago, now United States minister to China, may be appointed an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Justice John M. Harlan. Mr. Calhoun has the support of Senator Cullom and two members of the cabinet, Secretary MacVeagh and Secretary Fisher. Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, of which Dr. Booker T. Washington is principal, has just received a legacy of $10,000 from the estate of the late Maria Blanchard of Philadelphia, Pa. At the rate the endowment fund of this great institution is growing the desired amount will shortly be reached. On last Monday J. A. O'Berry, a white man, was hanged at St. Mary's, Ga., for the murder of a black woman and her daughter near Kingsland, Ga. This is the first time in the history of the state that a white man has been executed for killing an Afro-American. Recently a doctor in Ohio was run down and killed by a hearse. Was this poetic justice? Uncle Sam will press his suit against the "Butter Trust" after December 1. WASHINGTON GOSSIP Government Busy Cleaning Out Opium Government Busy Cleaning Out Opium Mammoth Guns to Guard Panama Canal Bar Unbidden Guests From Naval Ball W. H. WASHINGTON—In the United States there are in all about 2,500,000 miles of roads of one kind or another—enough to reach around the earth 100 times. Much of this, however, is of a character not worthy of the name road. Some of it is little better than a rock pile, and others are wide tracks through ditches and swamps. Of the whole only seven miles in each hundred can be said to have any improvements whatever, and on the most of it the improvements are such as to be unworthy of note. Altogether to two per cent. can be called first class. With the proper improvement of this network of roads will come a saving that will richly repay the nation. The roads in the United States may not be the very worst in the world, but they are bad enough as a whole, that is certain, compared with those in other civilized countries. Europe is a network of magnificent highways. In Germany, France and England one can ride for miles without striking a stone or a puddle. This does not add to pleasure alone. It is the means of saving millions of dollars each year to those countries where such roads are maintained. The cost of hauling over our coun- SLOWLY the federal arm is sweeping in the opium fiends. The recent raid here by internal revenue agents, when $8,000 worth of the drug, prepared for smoking, was confiscated and the distributing organization for the District of Columbia broken up, was one of a series of big hauls in the larger cities of the country in recent months, as a result of which several hundred thousand dollars' worth of the drug is now in government possession. In the last five months just such hauls, many larger and more important, have been made by means of which agents have in many cases been able to trace the drug to the illicit manufacturers, thus dealing the most serious blow of all. In Terre Haute, Ind., where the richest haul of all was made, nearly $100,000 worth of the drug was found when the inspectors raided a small river shack where the crude opium, was being prepared for distribution to smokers throughout the middle west. "We are learning how to go about it. We are discovering the haunts of them," said a special officer. "It has been a hard job, because there is no interstate regulation. There is a bill for that purpose before congress now. I BELIEVE THESE GUNS WILL PROTECT THE CANAL THE greatest gun ever built will become part of the coast defense at the Pacific end of the Panama canal. The giant weapon is now at Sandy Hook, N. J., but according to orders received from the war department it will soon start on the most remarkable journey ever taken by a weapon of its size. It weighs 180 tons, is 50 feet in length, with a 16-inch caliber and power to throw a 2,400-pound projectile a distance of 23 miles. The gun is being moved because war authorities believe New York is in less danger of being attacked than the west end of the Panama canal. There no ship that pokes its nose above the horizon will be safe against the monster gun for with a single well-directed shot it could send to the bottom the largest war craft the world knows today. Although the fortifications for the canal have already been fully planned, the details regarding them are kept secret. All that is known is that the RECENT agitation over the new restrictions placed upon midshipmen at the naval academy in the matter of guests at academy dances has brought forth from officials of the navy department a remarkable statement. It was disclosed that heretofore the doors of the naval academy have been opened wide on the evenings of dances, and all presenting themselves at the doors dressed as for a dance have been admitted without question. Several embarrassing situations have developed from time to time involving midshipmen in serious trouble. Henceforth, it is stated, the academy officials will require that no person be admitted without presenting a card of invitation, and the names of all persons to whom such cards are issued are to be listed. "The invitations to balls and hops at the naval academy," says the statement, "have been either a source of misunderstanding or a cause for attempting to stir up class prejudice. Few fathers and mothers with sons at the naval academy but would desire and expect the authorities having their sons in charge to endeavor to keep them apart from that special form of temptation that haunts all places where large bodies of young men are collected together. "When the academy was much smaller and the number of guests try roads is now about 23 cents per ton to the mile. In the European countries as long as 18 years ago the cost had been reduced to 10 cents, and it is much lower today. On some of the roads going into London, by the motor cars now in use, it is less than four-cents, and by wagon freight can be hauled almost anywhere on the continent for from one-half to one-third its cost in the United States. The saving effected under this system amounts to hundreds of millions of dollars every year. According to the report of the interstate commerce commission in 1906, our railroads handled more than 800,000,000 tons of freight which originated on their respective lines. All this had to be taken to and from the cars. A great deal of it was made up of the products of the farm and the forests, and it is estimated that at least 200,000,000 tons of it had a haul of nine miles at a cost of 23 cents a ton. That bill alone would represent more than $400,000,000, and other freights and hauling would run the sum to $500,000,000 or over. Now suppose we cut the wagon freight bill in half, or to $11½ cents a ton, which is still far above the cost of hauling in Europe, and the saving would be $250,000,000 a year. In fact, the loss on our hauling is one of the greatest leaks of our whole industrial system. To save this waste of effort and money should be among the chief concerns of our people. It is gratifying to note that they are awaking to the need of consistent and concerted action and taking up the matter in earnest. YE VARMIT! I'LL KNOCK YOUR HEAD CLEAN OFF The only way to stamp out the use of opium and cocaine primarily is through interstate regulation. "Since the importation of opium was prohibited, in 1909, a process of manufacture has been evolved which has left the door wide open again. The process of manufacture is very simple and can be carried on quietly for years. The crude opium is bought from druggists who, without an interstate regulation law, can import the crude drug and distribute it at will. Since last fall we have made hauls in every large city in the country, including New York, Buffalo, Washington, Providence, Chicago, Terre Haute, Kansas City, St. Louis, Denver, Omaha, Seattle, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston and Philadelphia. These hauls have all brought out something and given a line on the traffic generally." two ends of the ditch will be defended by seven forts in all, three at the Atlantic end and four at the Pacific opening. These works will constitute two systems of forts—the four at the Pacific end operating together, and likewise the three at the Atlantic end. The fortifications will all be underground. A hostile fleet approaching from the ocean will see nothing but a slope of grassy greenward, whether on the islands or on the mainland. There will be nothing visible to shoot at, for the great guns will be hidden in concrete lined pits, from which they are uplifted momentarily by their disappearing carriages to deliver their fire. Quite a distance in the rear of each of the two groups of forts will be three large pits, each containing four 12-inch mortars. The locks of the canal necessarily are vital points, and these will be defended by "field fortifications"—that is to say, well constructed earthworks, with six-inch howitzers, three-inch field guns, etc. These works are intended, of course, for defense against possible attack by a land force. The war department is going to maintain a considerable body of troops on the isthmus. It may be taken for granted that the forts at the two ends of the canal will be able to defeat any attack from the sea. WHERE IS YOUR INVITATION ?!-?-!-? consequently fewer, there was little difficulty in keeping a careful scrutiny at the doors of the ballroom; but the number of guests attending has made this practically impossible. "Is it too much to ask that only those invited should attend, and that cards of admission should be issued to authenticate the guests? Is there any decent ball or assembly of any size which is not protected by some similar precaution?" Currying a Short Horse. "Doctor," the caller complained, "I have headache all day long. I want you to see if you can't do something to relieve me." "Well," the eminent specialist said, "I shall have to make an examination, particularly at the base of the brain, and it will be necessary for you to take off that high, tight collar." The caller did so. "Why, doctor, the headache has gone!" "I thought so. Wear loose collars. Five plunks, if you please. Thanks. Good day." Knowles Building. Boys' Hall. Stone Hall. Girls' Hall.

Everybody, everywhere, gave thanks last Thursday, but the largest and grandest Thanksgiving service in the history of St. Paul was the John Thanksgiving service which was held at Pilgrim Baptist church, beginning at 11 a.m. m. last Thursday. The audience and choir was made up from members and friends of all the churches in the city and completely packed the church. Seated upon the platform were: Revs. H. P. Jones, A. H. Leatland, B. G. Wilkinson, Jos. S. Strong and E. H. McDonald, the pastor. The services began with a short prayer by Rev. McDonald. Then came the singing of "My Country 'Tis of Thee" by the joint choir of over 40 voices under the direction of Mr. John H. Hickman, Jr. Scripture reading by Rev. B. G. Wilkinson. Prayer, Rev. J. S. Strong, followed by the choir chanting the Lord's Prayer. The choir then sang "God Bless Our Native Land." Rev. McDonald then introduced Rev. H. P. Jones of St. James A. M. E. church, who preached the sermon, which was so inspiring that proper mention cannot be made here, but, through the desires of a number of gentlemen, arrangements have been made to publish the sermon in full in the next issue of THE APPEAL. The audience was then given a decided and delightful treat in the singl- e by little Miss Ida Hirschfield, of "I Thinking When I Read That Sweet Story of Old." Rev. J. S. Strong then on request, made an appeal on behalf of Attucks Orphanage and Old Folks' Home and a special Thanksgiving collection of $88.83 was raised and presented to Rev. J. Will King, the founder of the Home, by Rev. H. P. Jones. Rev. King made appropriate remarks and expressed his thanks. He called attention to the fact that a number of the inmates of the Home were present through the generosity of Mr. T. H. Lyles, the undertaker, who furnished two carriages for the purpose of bringing them to the church. Among them was Mr. George Costeff, who is 101 years of age, and yet is hale and hearty. Rev. McDonald told of the work which the special choir had done, and asked for a collection to pay for the music which had been purchased, and $6.28 was donated. The choir then, under the direction of Mr. John H. Hickman, Jr., rendered the cantata, "The Conversion" occupying about forty minutes. The rendition was delightful, and was highly complimented on all sides. The solo parts were sung by Mr. Lloyd Hickman, Mr. C. D. Jackson, Mr. C. H. Miller, Mrs. Cleat Oliver and Miss Albreta Bell. A quartette was sung by Mr. C. D. Jackson, Mr. J. E. Murphy, Mrs. Mattie Campbell and Miss Adina Adams. Mrs. J. H. Hickman, Sr., read from the Bible and the libretto the words of "The Conversion" in a most acceptable way. Rev. A. H. Lealtad pronounced the benediction. The Ladies' Aid Society had prepared an elaborate dinner, and, at the close of the services, the Sunday school room was decorated with hungry dinners, who soon ate all the ladies had prepared. Twenty-three images of the Old Folks' Home and the hospitals were guests of the Ladies' Aid Society and enjoyed the dinner and the occasion hugely.

The most absorbing topic of conversation in elite society circles for several weeks past was the marriage of Mr. Frederick Douglass McCracken, the very popular private secretary of Congressman F. C. Stevens, and Miss Nora Elizabeth Godette, a daughter of Lieutenant Wm. R. Godette of Hose Supply Co. No. 5, a very popular and charming young lady, which was most happily consummated last Wednesday afternoon. The wedding ceremony was solemnized at St. Philip's Episcopal church, corner of Aurora and Mackubin streets, at 4 o'clock, in the presence of an audience composed of the elite of the Twin Cities that filled the church to overflowing. The third party arrived promptly on time, and on their arrival, the augmented surplied choir slowly marched up the aisle, singing a wedding hymn, and took its place inside the chancel rail. Then came the bridal party, with slow and measured tread, in the following order: The ushers, Messrs. A. V. Hall, Willis Coulter, Samuel Scott and Wm. T. Godlette, attired in black Prince Albert coats and grey striped trousers. Following, came the bridesmaid, Miss Charlotte Gillard, who wore a white satin gown, and carried a large bunch of pink roses. The matron of honor, Mrs. William Neal, came next, gowned in a beautiful creation of blue silk embroidered net over blue satin, carrying a bouquet of red roses. The bride came last, wearing a superb gown of white satin and lace demi-train, and carried a shower bouquet of bride's roses. As the bride appeared in the aisle, the groom and best man, Mr. A. Worden Haynes, emerged from a room near the altar and met her at the altar. Then the rector, Rev. A. H. Leatilad, approached and began to read the ceremony. The bride was given away by her father. At the proper point Miss Eunice Glass sweetly sang "I Love You Truly." The troths were plighted and the couple were pronounced man and wife, and, while Miss Blanche Branham played the wedding march, the bridal party retraced their steps, entered the waiting carriages and were whisked to the residence of the bride's parents, N52 Albemarle street, where the wedding reception was held from 5 to 8 p.m. The wedding was conceded to have been the most beautiful ever held in the church. At the reception the house was decorated appropriately. There was a large green canopy, under which the bridge and groom, assisted by the members of the bridal party, received the guests, who came in large numbers, and, after tendering congratulations, were served with refreshments in the dining room from a handsomely decorated table, Mesdames J. B. Johnson, R. H. Anderson and Firston White serving. The popularity of the young couple was most decidedly attested by the large number of very magnificent and substantial presents which had been sent by friends from far and near, and which were displayed in an upper room. The reception was very delightful every day. The young couple left on their bridal tour yesterday morning, carrying with them the best wishes of their host of friends in the Twin Cities. They will be at home after December 16th at 1532 Fifteenth street N. W., Washington, D. C. ROY—EWING. Wm. Roy and Mrs. Rose Ewing Embark Upon the Matrimonial Sea.

He also holds a responsible position with Hoy, the building contractor, and has been a resident of the city for about twelve years. The bride has been a resident of the city nine years, and is a prominent member of St. James A. M. E. church in large room, which was parqued in the large reception room of the hotel, which was specially decorated for the occasion. Prominent among the decorations were 18 beautiful embroidered pillows. The bride and her bridesmaid, Mrs. Inez Pope, entered by a side door and were met in the center of the room by the groom and his best man, Mr. Wm. Stevens. Then stepping before Rev. H. P. Jones, pastor of St. James A. M. E. church, he soon tied the nuptial knot that will link their lives till death does them part. Mrs. R. C. Minor played the wedding march. The house was filled with guests, who had been bidden, and the scene was quite beautiful. The bride wore a gown of cream batiste and lace with lavender ribbon trimmings over cream silk, and car THE GARDEN OF THE WEDDING ried a large bouquet of pink roses. The bridesmaid wore pink nun's veiling and cream lace. The groom and best man wore the regulation full dress.

The program consisted of an address, a lecture, a magna matron of the home, the report of the matronary, Mrs. Inez Pope, and a lot of fun furnished by Miller's entertainers, Messrs. C. H. Miller, Mesdames R. C. Minor, S. E. Hall and Mattie Campbell. The McCullough orchestra furnished the music. The ladies present were quite handsomely gowned. The affair was a splendid success in every way except in point of numbers pres- In McCracken's Honor. On Monday evening at the residence of Mr. J. Edgar Murphy, the T. B. H. B.

One of the many big features of "The Soul Kiss," that fascinating musical comedy, is the first act scene of the "Bal Tarbarin," where one of the biggest numbers ever introduced, "Meet Me at the Masquerade," is seen. This number alone employs the entire company, and no grander display of costumes ever greeted the eye than that seen in this number. For a novelty number, "The Musical Bell" show features that no doubt, be expected, was the supreme effect of all ever attempted on the stage. The company presenting the show is composed of people who have been recognized both for their talents and appearance, for, as in all musical shows, appearance counts for much. Miss Ethel Gilmore, a charming and attractive young lady and premier dancer, will be seen in the leading role. Thos. Van, a comedian of recognized ability, will have the chief comedy role. During the course of the two acts, twenty-five new and up-to-date musical numbers will be introduced, each one being a distinct feature. The music of the "Soul Kiss" is the Levi, while the book is by Harry B. Smith. For those who are tired of the usual slap stick comedy, they will find in "The Soul Kiss" a welcome relief, for the show has been accepted, everywhere presented as a distinct novelty in the field of musical shows.

Some of the people to whom THE APPEAL is as regularly sent as it is issued—and that is every Saturday—as act 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.
