June 6, 1885 at the postoffice at St. Paul, Mina., under act of Congress, March 5, 1885. T. E. H. A very interesting preliminary statement has been issued from the Census Bureau this week relative to the population of Florida according to color, taken as of April 15, 1910. It shows that the total population of Florida in 1910 was subdivided as to color as follows: Whites, 443,646; Afro-American, 308,669; all other persons, including Indians, Chinese, Japanese and other Asiatics, 304. The equivalent figures for 1900 were: Whites, 297,333; Afro-American, 230,750; all others, 479. For 1800 they were: Whites, 224,949; Afro-American, 166,180; all others, 293. The Afro-American population constituted 41 per cent. of the total population of the state in 1910, as against 42.7 per cent. in 1900 and 42.5 per cent. in 1890. There has been an increase since 1900 in the Afro-American population of 77,939, or 33.8 per cent., as compared with an increase during the preceding decade of 64,550, or 38.8 per cent. From 1900 to 1910 the white population increased at a much great- C. Chairman of the Sub-Committee in Charge of Arrangements for the Republican National Convention of 1912.

Jacksonville city had a population in 1910 of 57,699, comprising 28,321 whites, 29,232 Afro-Americans and 75 other persons (Indians, Chinese and Japanese). The equivalent figures for 1900 were: Whites, 12,158; Afro-Americans, 16,236; all others. 35. For 1800 they were: Whites, 7,372; Afro-Americans, 9,801; all others. 28. The Afro-American population of Jacksonville constituted barely more than 50 per cent. (50.8) of the total in 1910, as against 57.1 per cent. in 1900, and 57 per cent. in 1890. The rate of increase in the whites from 1900 to 1910 more than doubled that of the preceding decade, the increase being 16,173, or 133 per cent., as against 4,786, or 64.9 per cent., from 1890 to 1900. The Afro-American population shows an increase of 13,057, or 80.4 per cent., from 1900 to 1910, as compared with an increase of 6,435, or 65.7 per cent. from 1890 to 1900. 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 in famous American statesmen. In the days when the "bustle" was a very necessary adjunct to a fashionably attired female a lot of fun was poked at the bustle and its wearers. They used to be made of all sorts of things, good, bad and indifferent, but it remains for an old woman in Portland, Me., to have the most valuable stuffing for hers. It seems that although the bustle went out of style many years ago, she clung to hers, and when she died suddenly a few days ago and an examination of her bustle disclosed the fact that she had $10,000 in bills in it, and none of them of a more recent issue than 1886. The simple interest on $10,000 for the 25 years since 1886 at 6 percent, will amount to $15,000. A rather expensive article of the toilet it has been, to say the least. a gracious clime, which testify with subtley to the depth of the appeal of the birth of Christ. Here divinely spiritual symbolism and there sweet human tenderness and pathos appear, and blended, they evidence the world's belief that this was both Son of Man and Son of God. An Irish legend tells that, on Christmas eve, the Christ-Child wanders out in the darkness and cold, and the peasants still put lighted candles in their windows to guide the sacred little feet, that they may not stumble on their way to their homes. And in Hungary the people go yet further in their tenderness for the Child, they spread feasts and leave their doors open. He may enter at His will, and the children there is a belief that no evil can harm any child who is born on Christmas eve. The legend which tells how the very hay which lined the manger in which the Holy Babe was laid put forth living red blossoms at midwinter at the touch of the Babe's body could only have arisen from belief in the renewal of life through the Lord of Life. First Christma --- 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 91,172,266, 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. If any one is anxious to see an honest man, Minnesota can produce him. Twenty-one years ago F. A. A. bean, a miller of Faribault, failed for $100,000. Bean was 51 years old when the crash came, but he put on his hustling clothes and accumulated a couple of hundred thousand dollars, and now, at the age of 72, he is paying off all the old claims against him and paying 6 per cent. interest besides, although none of the claims are legal, having outlawed. However, he is in New Prague distributing his $200,000 among his old creditors as Christmas gifts. He is a real Santa Claus. The Christmas spirit is abroad in the land, and there are very few people who are not doing all they can to carry it out, and many will "go broke" doing so. It, however, seems that Mrs. George J. Gould is to be the Lady Bountiful of the season, as she has arranged to give a present to every child in her home town, Drybrook, Del. What a happy lot of kids there will be, but Mrs. Gould, who will be present at the distribution, will derive more pleasure out of it than any one, upon the principle that it is more blessed to give than to receive. Of course, the Republican National Committee on last Tuesday decided to hold the Republican National Convention in Chicago, June 18, to nominate candidates for President and Vice President of the United States. Of course, where else would they hold it? The Afro-American citizens of Washington, D. C., did well to honor the memory of the late Justice John M. Harlan, who was a stauch friend of the race. Similar memorial meetings should be held in every city in the country. Since Lillian Graham and Ethel Conrad, the show girls, were acquitted of shooting E. D. Stokes in the legs, we may look for some other notoriety hunting girls to try the trick. Look out, fellows. PUTTING ON THE FINISHING TOUCHES ```markdown ``` First Christmas Observance Christmas Legends LL around the season of the coming of love as a little boy who have sprung legends and beliefs, like blossoms. In The A the Christmas rose, and it tells how good things, fit for giving, spring up ready to the hand which earnestly desires to give to the Child. It is said that a certain maiden of Bethlehem was so poor that she had nothing to give to the to whom kings brought wealth from her as she stood, longing and mourning, and angel appeared to her, saying, "Look at thy feet, beneath the snow," and lo! on obeying the maiden found that a new flower had miraculously sprung up and blossomed at her needs. Every since then, runs this story, this exquisite flower, with its snowy petals just touched by suggestions of pinkish bloom, is to be found at this season; and, indeed, its half-opened cups are like chalices of love, and its fully-spread petals are like a happy innocence, fit symbols for the gifts for the Babe of spotless innocence, whose heart was the vessel of love. Christmas Eve Legends. HERE are several exceedingly touching legends concern- ringing from buried cities and villages at this season. 'One belongs to a village near Raleigh, In nottinghamshire, and the story runs that once, where there is now but a valley, there was a village which, with every trace of life and habitation, had been swallowed by an earthquake; but ever since, at Christmas, the bells of the church are heard to ring as of old. A similar legend is told of Preston, in Lancashire, and yet another, and ```markdown ``` Christmas gets its name from the mass celebrated in the early days of the Christian church in honor of the birth of Christ, its first solemnization having been ordered by Telegraph. This was in or before the year 138, for in that year Pope Telegraph died. At first Christmas was what is known as a movable feast, just as Easter is now, and owing to misunderstandings was celebrated as late as April or May. In the fourth century an ecclesiastical investigation was or- more moving one comes from the Netherlands. It is said that the city of Been is notorious for its black and shameless shirts and renowned for its beauty and magnificence. To the Sodom of the middle ages came our Savior on one anniversary of his birth, and went as a beggar from door to door, but not in all that Christmas keeping city gave the Master of the abundance. Sin he saw rampant on every side, but not a trace of Christmas bounty and good will, and he called to the sai, which, as of old, obeyed his voice, and Been, the city of sin, was buried deep, clean out of sight, beneath the waves. But ever at Christmas up from beneath the covering waters comes the sweet calling of church bells buried in Been. It is a legend which appears to tell in the story of which, which ever belonged to the Church, and was fedicated to his service, is ever wholly lost from him and alienated from service; that ever and again something of their inherent beauty and compelling sweetness rises from the depths through all seeming ruin. T is not so many centuries, ago since there was that holy thorn at Glastonbury which blossomed every Christmas, and, so ran the legend, had done ever since St. Joseph of Arimathea, having come as apostle to Britain, and, landing at Glastonbury, had stuck his staff of drip hawthorn into the soil, commanding it to put forth leaves and blossoms. This the staff straightway did, and thereby was the king converted to the Christian faith, the faith which prescheed life from death. The holy thorn of Glastonbury fountished during the centuries until the civil wars. During those it was uprooted; but several persons had had trees growing from cuttings from the original tree, and those continued to bloom at the Christ-season, just as their parent, which had grown from St. Joseph's staff, had bloomed. And about the middle of the 18th century it was recorded in the Gentleman's book, lovingly the famous theon would not delign to recognize the style calendar, which had then come into force but would persist in blooming as of old on old Christmas day! In those days the anniversary of the advent of the Babe had certainly meant more to the common people than merely a time for feasting and revelry, for giving and receiving; it had been also a season for holy observances, for they refused to go to church on New Christmas day, the holy thorn not being in blossom. So serious became the trouble that the clergy found it prudent to announce that Old Christmas day should also be celebrated, a honor given to another story of their weak, supernatural minds? True, perhaps; but they are better who evidence some spiritual weakness than those who wallow in the wholly material, and when we cease to be careful of the cup and the platter, we become not over careful of their contents. As to a Friend. "I know. He says things that he doesn't really mean. He got mad at me once and called me a poet." as Observance dered, and upon the authority of the tables of the censors in the Roman archives December 25 was agreed upon as the date of the Savior's nativity. Tradition fixed the hour of birth at about midnight, and this led to the celebration of a midnight mass in all the churches, a second at dawn and a third in the later morning. Making Sure of His Vegetable "Are you going to start a garden next year?" "I am not," replied the luckless amateur. "Next year, instead of burying good stuff in the ground, I'm going to eat it."

Charleston Celebrate Their 500 Wedding An event quite out of the ordinary was the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the wedding of Mr. and Mrs. G. J. Charleston, at their residence, 607 St. Anthony ave. Tuesday evening. In fact, it was the first golden wedding anniversary that has been celebrated among us that can be recalled in a quarter of a century. Mr. Charleston was born in Canada and Mrs. Charleston was born in St. Louis, Mo. They came to St. Paul in 1886, and have lived here ever since. They had a family of twelve G. J. Charleston. children, nine of whom (8 males and 1 female), are still living, and were present at the anniversary. There were also five grand-childs present. Two of Mrs. Charleston's sisters were and the occasion took on the nature of a family reunion for an anniversary. The house was appropriately decorated for the occasion and was crowded during the entire evening from 8 to 11:30 p. m. Prof. Johnson's orchestra furnished music during the evening. In the dining room was a buffet table decorated with 50 golden candle sticks with lighted wax candles arranged in the form of Mr. Charleston's initials, "G. J. C.", and it was quote a pretty sight. There were numerous donations by clubs and friends of $165 in gold and Mrs. G. J. Charleston. $3.75 in silver, and also numerous other presents. A short ceremony was conducted by Rev. J. M. Boddy. A pin of the order of G. A. R. was presented to Mrs. Charleston from the Ladies of the G. A. R. The presentation speeches were made by Mesdames Mary Dillingham, Emma Roper, Florence Duckett, Tennie White and Bettie Jones. Rev. H. P. Jones also made some remarks. Elegant refreshments were served in abundance, including genuine champagne punch. The reception committee comprised Mesdames Florence Duckett, Mary Payne, Mary Dillingham, Alice Franklin and Bettie Jones. Taken all in all, it was a most delightful affair, and will be long remembered by those who were present. THE STATE SAVINGS BANK Total Deposits $4,450,000.00 — Surplus Fund $120,000.00.

Murphy as the star, is one of the cartoon creations born of suggestion, and is a congies of vaudievel acts interspersed with singing and dancing, with handsome backgrounds in the way of scenery which add to the ensembles and make up to the eye a series of strikingly pretty pictures. There will be many a filled house in the Grand Opera House the week commencing Sunday matinee, December 24th, to see it. "Let George Do It" is a hodge-podge with no continuity that may be called a plot. Its chief and especial function is to entertain those who want funny situations, music and dancing, and it fills the bill without putting any strain on the intellect. On the stage those who do the work are many in number, industrious and clever. George P. Murphy, the amusing waiter of "The Newlyweds," is the star, and as George, the janitor, is great. Among the others who help along the face are Miss Iva Iry, Leona Stephens, Minthorne Worthley, Abbott Worthley, James Du Bois, Tom Burton, Ivan Arbuckle and a chorus made up of a number of pretty singers, the appear in a variety or cosmetics that bespeak for the management liberality of pleasure of hobbies; and it succeeds. "The Murphy is as amusing as he was in the role of the German waiter in "The Newlyweds," which is saying a good deal. PIANO INSTRUCTION.

There is no law compelling any one to receive THE APPEAL, but there is law to compel any one to pay for it who receives it, upon the principle of law that one must pay for anything he receives. Ordering a paper discontinued, does not pay any amount that may be due and unpaid, and the publisher has the right to continue to send his paper until whatever may be due for it is fully paid; then an order to discontinue must be obeyed. It is hoped that every one who reads this, that is indebted to the paper, will bring or send to the office the amount due. Every one who receives THE APPEAL is expected to pay for it.

The State Savings Bank has solved the problem of a Christmas present for your son or daughter. They have a lot of handsome SILVER CASKET SAFES, which you can get FREE by calling at the bank, on Fourth street, between Minnesota and Robert, and making a deposit of one dollar in the name of the one you wish to present the bank to. Then put what money you choose in the little safe and present it to your child, which he or she can subsequently take to the bank and add to the deposit you have already made there. Then there will be an incentive to save the pennies, nickels and dimes instead of spending them foolishly; and, it will be a greater pleasure to the child to know it has money in the bank drawing interest at the rate of $3½ per cent, which the State Savings Bank pays on deposits, than any ordinary toy can give. Use this occasion to start your child into the way a savings account, accompanied by one or more beautiful safes, will make a present of value far beyond anything else you can secure at double or treble the outlay. Start your child right now! Patriotic Social. Biddle Circle, No. 38, Ladies of the G. A. R. will hold open meeting on the fourth Tuesday of each month at n.p. m. during the winter, in G. A.
