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. + The Wonderful Swiss People By GEORGE W. BURTON SALAR ROAD IN THE ENGADINE, SWITZERLAND cleanly in their lives, so unaffectedly kindly in their impulses and so successful in wringing a comfortable living for so large a population from so small an area of land. For the amount of good soil in the country the population is one of the most dense on the globe, and yet the people live better than almost any other among whom I have spent any length of time on any continent. In Switzerland begging is unknown, abject poverty is nowhere in evidence. Rags are not seen, nor is there a speck of dirt available by known means encountered on the persons of the people, homes they occupy or in the streets of their cities. These characteristics of persons and streets, of homes and streets, of more or less common or general; they are universal to tent of being almost without exception. No Swisser is dirty, not one is ragged, none seems to want any of the common necessities of life. With the homes and their furnishings; they are all clean. So are all the streets of all the cities, the kind ofiness of manner is almost, if not quite, as nearly as the thrift and economy. They are never rude. or ever thoughtless. In scenery is only a.

This country so wonderful in scenery is only 18,000 square miles in extent. Yet 3,600,000 of those wonderful people wring a good livelihood from that handbreadth of territory. That is not the full extent of their achievement. The little patch is composed of a larger extent of waste land than any other where a considerable population lies. It does not seem as if any possible use could be made of half the area, except to afford a coasting ground for the grown-up children. We easily recall the song, "Everybody Works but we do not go in Switzerland. In the vales and on the small plains, along the hillsides and up to the eternal snows on the peaks of the Alps, these people all work. They begin in early infancy and do not quit until old age is decrepit indeed. Yet they all get a pretty good education, few of them not speaking two languages, most of them three, and hundreds of them four. I have met a few who had a pretty good use of all of six or eight tongues. They all read and know something of the world and its ways. My mind turns from the glories of the scenery to the admirable traits of the men and women as grandeur of beauty is to the mountains and vales, the valleys and woodlands of fair Switzerland. What do they all do? Ask rather, What do they not do? They do their own work and a good deal for other nations. Lying in the center of Europe, with railroad lines going in in all directions, with three great tunnels through the Alps through which trains pass from the farthest limits of Italy, from all the seaports of that country, to the Baltic and eastward to Russia, Switzerland has become a great distributing point for goods from all over the world. It has amazed me to note the amount of wine credited to this country from Spain and Italy; so of olive oil and of oranges and lemons. Only a small portion is used here. All Europe is used for these products of the south. Think of the ice in this ritory of ice and rocks, amounting to $64,047 a year. The imports show to the extent of $330,774,764 and the exports to $230,082,285. Spending more than they make? Do not mistake. They are doing nothing of the kird. The Swiss do not consume all the goods represented in these import figures. They go to feed, house and clothe the hundreds of thousands of visitors. The people cultivate every square foot of soil --- VOL. 27. NO. 49. J F the stupendous grandeur and the bewitching beauty of the scenery of their country deter the Swiss from attempting by human skill to duce the landscape because they feel it is impossible to do this worthily, surely no sense of awe or admiration holds them back from making the most out of the endowments the Creator has given them out of which to living. One's astonishment and admiration for the scenery is fairly divided the feeling one has for the people, so matchless in their simplicity, so untiring in their toils, so fragrant in their expenses, so that can be made to produce a head of cabbage, a peck of potatoes or a plum tree. Besides doing all the farm work, 130,000 persons are engaged in home industries. Of all who work at textiles 39 per cent. are these home workers. So of all other industries from 10 to 40 per cent. from 10 to 40 persons who do their work at home when the weather is too severe to permit them to work in the fields, or at night when it is dark out of doors. Ten per cent. of all the work done in all industries is performed by these toilers. There are 75,000 of them producing textiles and 13,000 at watchmaking. The Swiss pay $3,516,646 for cotton and manufactures thereof and re-export these at nearly 100 per cent. profit. They pay about an equal amount for silk and manufactures of that fiber, and export the products of both at nearly as great a gain. The watchmakers abroad bring in $28,374,291 in a single year, and that is almost all profit. The people of the United States pay the Swiss $1,320,025 for silks, $1,450,420 for embroideries, $1,896,814 for watches, and $2,674,880 for cheese. In 1901 we paid the Swiss a total of $10,741,677 for work they did for us, and in 1909 we paid them $27,658,978. Zurich, a place of about 200,000 population, has eighty-six mills working on silk and cotton goods. in all Switzerland there are 14,000 looms, and 75,000 persons are engaged in weaving. They are mostly women, and they earn three to six francs eighty-six mills wages as things go in Europe. St. Gall is a city where women work for weaving or Geneva for watches. Sixty-three mills spin cotton, with 1,498,600 spindles, and twenty-three mills make cotton thread with 69,564 spindles. Sixty-five mills weave cotton, and these have 19,350 looms in all. Those who prescribe fashion in women's work great have at times to Swiss industries. The year 1910 was a bad one in this respect. Those who prescribe styles decreed in favor of light Japanese and Chinese women. The Sixty-five looms were stopped in thousands. It was then a law of fashion that dresses were to be trimmed with strips of silk and not with ribbons, and so the ribbon factories were obliged to curtail output. With the cutting off of the embroidery exports to the United States the year was a bad one. But the people get along with a little closer economy. Their garments are as decent, their smiles as bright. If any housewife can show a smile to her cleanest and the floors in the Swiss hotels she is a crown of her husband and worth the good old English epithet of "notable." Not a speck of dirt can be found in any nook or corner of a Swiss bedroom at even a hotel or a pension. So there is no fault to be found with Switzerland and none with its people? Alas, there is nothing perfect. The Swiss are a truly peculiar people, and although as a rule peculiarly admirable, there are flies in their ointment, too. Switzerland is in the world it also is the one where the government is on the most popular plan. It is what we call it. THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS. MINN.. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1911. CATHEDRAI OF LAUSANNE LAKE GENEVA America a "mob democracy," except that the people that own conduct themselves in the manner of mobs. But they have never surrendered many of their natural rights formally to the government. Almost all questions large and small are settled by popular vote. The initiative and the referendum are all formalized. So theoretically this is the most likely defense in the world, "Theoretically" mind you. As a matter of fact, the people who might decide every question do not exercise their rights. It is at this time as badly ridden by politicians as any country in the world. The people do not vote in sufficient numbers to make a popular choice for office. The "machine" does it all, and the people stand by and let the lawless win, until they become aroused, which is usually about some minor matter. The success of foreigners in getting trade is creating bitter opposition to them. Germans are not the only people who defend birth is brought up before a socialistic judge by a socialistic policeman, and as half the goes where it does the "cause" the most good, it goes hard with the foreigner. The people are beginning to feel the effects of raising the wages of unskilled workmen to the level of those with skill. Will the people shake themselves out of their sleep? I think so. They get excited sometimes. Automobiles are things to the Swiss like the "abomination of desolation" to the Jews. In some cantons these vehicles are absolutely fobidden. It happens that these are the places particularly dear to the tourist host because of their beauty. Attempt after attempt has been made to modify the law, but the people always vote "No" in the majority. The hotel men and others feel this, but the guest is obdurate. They may get awake at the end of the day, impatient at the polls. They may see to it that the policemen his clum from the socialist camp do not impose fines on innocent persons in order that the policeman, the judge and the "machine" may all have money in pocket. The canton prohibiting automobiles is that where the Engadine country is, and the roads are steep and narrow and the machines dangerous. But besides that it is the place most sought by tourists, and the Swiss make all their living out of these in that part of the country. Much money comes from the rent of the coaches with four or six horses carrying tourists, and the tariff is $5 a day each, or $40 for the coach. No wonder the automobile is not a pleasant sight to the people! Defective Page SONS OF THE SANDS Cruel and Implacable Tuaregs of Tripoli. Native Desert Tribes Who Would Aid Turks to Resist Italian Conquest Believed Desendants of Crusaders. Tripoli—Should Italy seriously attempt the conquest of the interior of Tripoli an interesting situation will arise in the event, as appears probable, of the native Tuareg tribes coming to the assistance of the Turks. They are believed to be descendants of the Crusaders, and although Moslems, their favorite ornament is by many of their customs and sacred forms of their language, such as angelus for angel and most for God, are undoubtedly of Christian origin. Many are of the opinion, however, that they belong to the Berber tribes, once inhabiting the whole coast line of North Africa, and that they took possession of the desert regions in the hinterland of Tripoli when the main body of this people were driven back to the Atlas mountains by the immigrating Arabs, who swarmed over the whole of North Africa in the eleventh century. The Berbers are of Semitic origin and formally pressed the Christian religion, but since the Arab conquest they have retrograded in every way. and are now among the most bigoted adherents of Mohammedanism It is not improbable that many of the Crusaders may have remained in Africa and made common cause with the Christian tribes against the invading Arab, as some of the expeditions against the Moslems of Palestine landed in Africa, St. Louis, the leader of the seventh and eighth crusades, dying at Tunis, but be shaken supporters of the religion of Mohammed. The shape of the head and features favor Tuareg Warriors. the European rather than the Oriental type. The hair is dark and the beard small. The eyes are dark and piercing. The Taureges are cruel, suspicious and implacable, are usually at war either with their neighbors or among themselves, and are superb guerrilla fighters. It is evident that an alliance of the peoples of the desert and the undoubtedly loyal soldiers of Turkey will make the Italian occupation of the interior an undertaking of considerable difficulty. The native population in the hinterland of Trk poll numbers about 300,000. LOSES HAIR AS SHE SLEEPS Pretty Ohio Girl is Victim of Peculiar Sneak, Who Clips Off Her Tresses. Lima, O.—Pretty eighteen-year-old Jennie Williams awoke one morning recently to find that while she slept her thick tresses of long brown hair had been shorn from her head. The hair was found lying upon the top of a dress that the heavy shears that had been used in committing the deed upon it. A silver mirror was upon the foot of the bed. Police are at a loss to ascertain a motive for the deed, although they are looking for a former boarder at the Williams home, who, it is said, attempted to force his attentions upon the young lady. The victim is the daughter of the late John Williams, at one time proprietor of the largest hotel in the city. 650-Pound Man Dies From Heft. Jersey City, N.

His coffin was three feet three inches wide, and it took 12 palletbears to carry it. Seattle, Wash.—Rev. James Arell of Centralia caused a sensation in that city when he was carried through the streets in a coffin as if dead, was "resurrected" at the most prominent corner in the city and preached a sermon on "A Voice From Hell" to a boisterum crowd. After his sermon he was "pallbearded" back to his home in his coffin. MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY.

TRAP LOST FOR 20 YEARS Recently Found by the Original Owner Firmly Imbedded in a Cypress "Knee." Dexter, Mo.—When Oscar Trotter, a farmer and trapper living near here, lost a trap twenty years ago, he did not know it would be returned in a wooden box many years later. Mink, possum and raccoons were plentiful in the lowlands near Dexter in those days. At each trap some kind of a marker was placed which would show its location, but in this instance Trotter failed to mark the trap and it was lost. Several days ago when he was clearing a piece of ground he recognized Trap in Cypress "Knee." the old trap about four feet above the ground, where it had grown into a cypress "knee." The "knee" had grown directly beneath the trap and raised it and as it did so the trap had become firmly imbedded in the wood. The chain had been broken when the trap was raised. Trotter presented the curio to William Smith, a salesman, who had given the trap to him with others two years before it was lost. Smith gave it to F. A. Witte, a hardware merchant of St. Louis, who has it in his office. HUSBAND'S_CHARMER_A_MAN Unique Defense Fails to Defeat Divorce Plea Because There Was Another. Kansas City, Mo.—An unexpected denouncement came in the divorce suit of Lilian Benner against Joseph G. Benner, on trial in the circuit court, when the wife learned that "Miss May Martin" of Leavenworth, whose loving letter to her husband she had intercepted, was a man. Mrs. Benner had named "Miss Martin" co-respondent in the suit. Benner admitted he had carried on a long correspondence with "Miss Martin" and had endured to the extent of real times, but each time "Miss Martin" had some excuse. Finally, after Mrs. Benner had brought her suit, Benner went to Leavenworth and made a still hunt for his charmer. He didn't find any "her," but he did find a young man who had been having a lot of fun, not only with Benner but with several other men who supposed they were corresponding with a "perfect lady." Benner's attorney contended that, since "Miss Martin" was a man, Mrs. Benner was not entitled to a divorce but that Benner was entitled to a decree on charges of misconduct he against Mrs. Benner. Mrs. Benner against him, however, and introduced letters showing that Benner had written in endearing terms to a young lady who appeared as a witness for Mrs. Benner, who was given the decree. CASTLE TO STAY IN ENGLAND Report That Old Tatterall Structure Was to Be Brought to America New York.—Tattersall castle, which is near Lincoln, in England, was recently offered as a gift to the British nation. It was declined and afterward Tattersall Castle. a report was circulated that the castle was to be brought to America and re-erected on Long Island. But such reports were set at rest when Lord Curron purchased it. The castle is mainly of the Sixteenth century, but parts of it are older. Its famous fireplaces, built in 1426, were the models for the fireplaces in the house of parliament. $2.40 PER YEAR: MARVEL OF SUCCESS MARVEL OF SUCCESS Greatest Religious Organization In History, With Over 3,500,000 Members—Rev. Francis E. Clark Its Founder. Portland, Me.—Founded in 1881, by Rev. Francis Edward Clark in Williston Congregational church, Portland, the Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor has increased from one society to over 72,000 societies that thrive in every corner of the earth. Its roll of membership has grown from a list of 57 to an enrollment of over 3,500,000. Twenty-nine years ago it was known as an innovation in a parish of Portland. Mr. Clark for years had faced the demand of the age for religious youth. He had studied the problem from every side and had sought information from all known sources concerning the various plans that had matured from time to time in Christian history for developing the religious life and activity of young people. He grew dependent of ever producing anything new and effective; but yet in all humble simplicity he made an attempt and it proved to be the most successful in the history of Christendom. Its success is due to the sincerity and ableness of its founder, and the definiteness of its purpose. Clark, although unconscious of its at a time, is a man chosen by Providence for life career, an apostle in a movement which is essentially progressive and destined to pass on through history an active and far reaching force in the affairs of the Christian world. In Dr. Clark we are brought face to face with a man who is a revelation as far as executive ability and versatility are concerned. He has been many things to many men. He has been a pastor and leader, an organizer and a diplomat, an advocate and defender of young people, a gentleman and a Christian. His gentleness has made him great and his humility has Rev. Francis Clark. saved him from the dangers to which pride and honor are ever exposed. As an editor and author he has been voluminous and he has made copy not only for his own official paper and publishers, but for numerous editors and magazines. He has written for his readers wherever he has traveled in this and other lands. In his connection with Christian Endeavor he believes that Providence has opened a way before him and bidden him to walk in divinely-chosen paths. This has given him courage and zeal. Remarkable as has been his success, twice so has been his spirit of generosity and self-sacrifice. Quitting a Portland pastorate, he has never reed compensation in any form from the United Society which he founded and which he is head and to which he has more than a quarter century of service. He has supported himself by his literary work and even when traveling over the world, which he has done as have few other men, he has paid his own expenses by writing for the magazines and other similar work. Largely because of Dr. Clark's personal efforts, made during tours in the various parts of the world, the Christian Endeavor movement has become world wide. Dr. Clark is a quiet, self-contained man. He is not a great speaker, and his leadership of young people depends upon personality rather than upon voice and manner. He has administrative ability to a marked degree, and has been able because of it to surround himself in his work with other men who became prime favorites with the young people, although Dr. Clark has always been their ideal. Dr. Clark is a native of Aylmer, Quebec, is 59 years old and has traveled around the world four times in interest of the Christian Endeavor movement. The society has taken its place among the permanent organizations and institutions of religion. It has taken hold of the problem of training the youth as no problem in the history of Christendom has done before. It has toiled through a few years and now has reached a stage in its history where it has nothing to do but grow and expand unhindered and free. Dr. Clark is still at its head and the great work which he is accomplishing is remarkable. oN Aveo? 70) tye Apeeni bp ate Ht, TCA” i re gre Bi Se, == ) es Lite Ra Py Pe a 5m Lea Ls 4 4 eee iN Be) We NN SSE Hs FX fj pi THE APPEAL ANational Afro-American Newspaper ADAMS BROS.

One should be thankful to be living, “No man is in trig health who cannot stand in the frée air of heaven, with his feet on God’s free turf, and thank his Creator. for}the simple luxury of physical existence”; and one should be especially thankful who lives in these times of great world move. ments, Lam thankfullfor much of our past. But someone says, “Before I could be thankful for jt 1 would have to for- et slavery.” But a condition of slav- ery is not peculiar to us; many other nations have been in ihe same ot ‘similar condition. I once heard Fred: erdick Douglass say, “People often say to me, ‘Mr, Douglass, aren't you ashamed to say that you were a slave, and that you were beaten in slavery? And I tell thenrno, if the great apostle Paul boasted that he was five times beaten of the Jews with forty stripes save one, why, should I be ashamed to say that'I was beaten?” Personally, T doubt if freedom will ever give to us @ more glorious page in many re. ‘spects; that perlod marks the transi tion of my people trom barbarism to civilization; from a small cargo. in 1620 to a great part of the numerical strength of the country—four ‘mil Hons in 1863; it marked the begin. nings of some great movements among us. The A. M. E, and the A. M. B. Z. churches, gave to us Varick and Richard Allen ‘who must be numbered among the Race’s real leaders; it marked some real struggles for man- hood rights, and some real protests against their denial—insurrections, Underground Railroad, the fugitives’ flight to the free North, following the ight of the polar star; it gave us Wil Mam Still and Harriet Tubman; it marked the loyalty of slaves first to their masters and mistresses—whose confidence they did not abuse, whose sacred trusts they did not violate, and ree RR Po eR, fe , Se fighting side by side with the whites beg rere lg ee a See we ante Ta, St at ste Sone aie vas pide pare er ined en om aaron ae tte aoemeh, A oly rei de le corona! on TURN re on as os ma Reray eepeMceros eee aay ft pai ge are are Pat is SITE rerOg, the tosh Se ie eo and falls into the habit of giving you sat te a aa sn reese ries nee re See ee Si aes toe See as aie priate as fa Selene eee ere know that successful ministry is not apg eae rani Be rad Soe ae ens om hp Pr ee, eis cone ere a eee aee er ee Secale ae Eee Su oie aa eee alas es abe oo eee ee 2 ae ee Sees g ooh tees ee ue ee eee doubt and dogma. of higher criticism and thinly disguised infidelity, musi undermine the faith in the Word o! ‘mans reinelar ainda 8 Weel 46 eae eee our people, and I hope it may find no entertainment in our thought, It’s no sign of progress that the pew demands and. the ministry supplies such a product. There 1s one Gospel, ‘one Savior of men, the Incarnate, Im- maculate God, made flesh and dwelt among-us. There's one true ministry God called to teach whatsoever He commanded, other messages are super- fluous, spurious, unavailing, ‘This true ministry need not thrive one at the expense of the other, need not be exalted one to the derogation of the other, needs not to be qualified by adjectives of comparison. God is the final determining factor. Paul plants, Apollos waters—but God giveth the increase, ‘And this Gospel proclamation needs a voice. You have a conception and you voice that. I have a conception and I voice that. It needs a repre- sentation in color, a picture, a like- ness. You have your mental picture and I have mine.” Yours means some- thing to you, mine something to me. Yours is interesting to me because {t shows me your conception. Mine to you for the same reason. But who could ever do Justice to a likeness of Christ? An artist might conceive the body in this pose or that, but could anybody, artist or not, know that soul? He might conceive an expression at the Supper, on Mt, of Temptation, bearing a cross, before Pilate, on Cal: vary, Dut he couldn't get these all in one ‘picture. Yet they would be ex- pressions which were outward ones of @ great soul. T used this word “conception” on purpose, because each and all pic- tures of Christ are “conceptions.” ‘They have no historical value, only artistic value, The Jews had no like- nesses, no images, because of the sec- ond commandment, hence none come down to us. All pictures have been made since, and having no original to copy, they are just “conceptions,” nothing’ more! It may be Hoffman's, it may be Munkassy’s, it may be Tan- ner's, but whatever it may be named it is a “conception.” Now these conceptions are first. in the artist, then on the canvas, First it lives, breathes, pulsates, is a reality, then translated it becomes dead, still, lifeless, pulseless. My conception of God, of Jesus, of angels, is different from that of others, because I am a different man. I see Jesus as nobody else sees him or can see him. My personal experiences, my personal needs, my personality, makes Him all over, ' “recreates,” reconceives Him, brings Him within my grasp, my com: prehension,.1 know Him, who helps, ‘who sympathizes, who strengthens, a spiritual conception, a spiritual com- munion and visitation, Now when I make Him objective, visual, external, work out my Jesus on canvas or paper with brush or pencil, may T not color Him without as I do within? Why should I make Him white instead of brown? Why should my angels not be like unto myself? ‘Truth to tell the angels of my future are the angels of my past and of my present; wife and children, mother, father, sister, brother, preacher, teacher, friends, their faces are familiar, thelr sincerity and helpfulness proved, their interest unfailing; they are aiready crowned with a’ halo of glory, 1 wouldn't know them if they were changed, they would be strange, un- like themselves, unfamiliar, No, n0, 1 am making my heaven as I go, eopling it with those T love and those who love me, black men and women and children, and why not? Isn't it true now as always that the holy mothers are giving us the saviors of the race? Yes, the surroundings as humble as those of the nativity, their circumstances as poor as those of Mary and Joseph. What of that? Surroundings are immaterial, circum- stances of no moment, the divinity is in man, in nothing else save as he im- parts it. Not all the “Madonnas,” the Holy Mothers are Jews. Far from It! ‘They have theirs, and I don’t be- grudge them. But we have ours and T'm thankful for it! If the greatest tribute we can pay them is to paint a beautiful likeness, let's do that— whether we do or not the race must wait upon them. Our leaders must come from thom, our destiny is bound up with them, A black hand will rock the cradle which holds the swaddled form of our future great and greatness. We will bear them, nur- ture them, train them, send them forth who will win renown and bring again their trophies to lay at the feet of our Madonnas, ‘The most beautiful picture in the world is Raphael's Madonna and the original of that picture was Mat- gherita whom he knew and loved, ‘And whom shall one love more than he loves his own, and what shall typify his best unless it is his own, and whom shall be enshrine in his art and in his heart unless it is his own? Whether he will or no he can't get away from himself. German art is essentially German or nothing; Itallan art, French art likewise it ideallzes its own. I am doing nothing more than others do, nothing less when I turn my own into saints beatified, put a carona over their heads or place a chaplet upon them and confidently challenge the world to produce its peer. ‘What have we in ourselves? What estimate do we put upon what we have? ‘We cannot retain our self-respect, cannot secure the respect of others, cannot bestir ourselves to our best endeavors so long as whatever is ‘white is best and whatever is black is worst, whatever is white is of heaven and God and whatever is black Is of hell and the devil, that whatever is white is superior’ and whatever is black is inferior.

The presentation speech was made by Mr. Arthur V. Hall, to which Mrs. Minor happily responded. Seasonable refreshments were then served, and all departed for their homes in a happy frame of mind. The grand prize ball which was given by the Knights Templar's "On to Washington Club" at Tschidh Hall, Wednesday night, was quite well attended, and was a very swell affair in every respect. Of course, the greatest interest centered in the contest for the $75 diamond ring between Misses Irene Salters and Willa Moore. At 12:30 o'clock the contestants were called upon the stage and made their reports to the following judges: Messrs. G. W. Moore and P. E. Reid for Miss Moore and Messrs. L. A. Melker and J. B. Stokes for Miss Salters. When the count was made it was found that Miss Salters had caught in $107.15 and Miss Moore $60.90. The beautiful solitaire diamond ring was presented to Miss Salters by Mr. Joe H. Sherwood with a neat little speech, and Miss Salters briefly and appropriately and thankfully responded. Miss Moore was awarded, as a consolation or second prize, a magnificent silver toilet set, worth $20. Mr. Sherwood made the presentation speech, and Miss Moore modestly expressed thanks. The occasion was most pleasant, all present having a good time. The committee in charge of the affair deserves much credit for its success. WAIT!

The Most Widely Known Afro-American of the State, Gone to Mr. Edward P. Wade, who for the past 30 years has been a resident of St. Paul, died at the city hospital Wednesday evening from tuberculosis after an illness of long duration. Mr. Wade was born in Lexington, KY, and lived in New Orleans, Little Rock and other places, but finally made his home here. He was a born politician, and was never more happy than when dealing in politics. He held several political positions—clerk and judge of elections, delegate to all grades of conventions, was a member at times of city and county committees. Was postmaster of the House of Representatives one term, and was private messenger to five of Minnesota's governors, viz.: A. R. McGill, W. R. Merriam, Knute Nelson, D. M. Clough and John Lind. He, unquestionably, was the most widely known of any Afro-American in Minnesota, and himself knew nearly every politician of any note in the state and nation. He probably knew more state secrets than any other man in the state. He was the pioneer in the state. He was the pioneer in the American newspaper man of the state. He bought published "The Review" over a quarter of a century ago. He sold out to some white parties, and the paper is still being published here. Since he got out of his political position, he has acted as representative of the Gazetteer and Guide of Buffalo. N. Y., and as solicitor and collector for the Virtue Printing Co. He was about 60 years of age and married, though his wife has been an inmate of the Rochester asylum for several years. He was not known to be a member of any church, but received the last rites in the Catholic church, and his funeral will be held at St. Peter's Catholic church on Monday morning at 4 o'clock.

E. Blaney's Great Melodrama, "The Boy Detective," at the Grand Next Week. "THE BOY DETECTIVE." The Next Attraction at the Grand Opera House, "The Boy Detective," "Willie Live." and written by Chas. E. Blaney, comes to the Grand next week, with Lyle LaPine, the well-known St. Paul boy, in the role of Willie Live. Special announcements of all sorts are due this extraordinary attraction, and the play is set in a sumptuously, mounted, engaging forty well-known, reputable actors and actresses, of all the popular-priced productions which this season are regaling the patrons of these playhouses. From a scenic standpoint, it is marvelous and a most engaging outlay, some decidedly pretty stage pictures being shown, notable, the upper and lower deck of a ship at sea, and from which "Willie Live," the boy detective, manes his daring escape by leaping through the port hole, thus thwarting the villain in his attempts to get possession of incriminating evidence which "Willie Live" has. Too much credit cannot be given its organizers, popular, jovial "Willie Live" played by a comedian of well-known ability, and, surrounding him in support, is a coterie of stage celebrities, who interpret the drama in a most engaging and intelligent manner. As to the play, it is a detective story, with the main incidents dealing with a band of express thieves, who are finally run to earth by "Willie Live," "The Boy Detective." The author, Chas. E. Blaney, has given it a most interesting atmosphere, in which the audience breathes the fragrance of in termingled romance, adventure and thrilling escapes. An interesting story is told, one which holds the auditors spellbound, as it were, throughout. A bright vein of comedy is furnished. Specialties of a high order, well executed song and dance numbers, are also among the features. CHILDREN TEETHING Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup has been used for over fifty years by millions of mothers for their children while teething, with perfect success.

Be sure and ask for "Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup," and take no other kind. Twenty-five cents a bottle. 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. THAT's it.

The McCall Drug Co., 400 Second Avenue, So., Minneapolis, 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 line 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 fountain 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. 4 SUITS PRESSED VALET TAILORING CO 156 E. SIXTH ST $1 ORDER TO PRESENT CLAIMS WITHIN THREE MONTHS.
