Almost without exception these tourists "stop over" going or coming at the quaint old town of Alexandria, Va., located about half way between the city of Washington and Mount Vernon. Many of the visitors declare Alexandria almost if not quite as interesting as if the so-called country seat of the Father of His Country. Old Alexandria would be well worthy a visit merely as a fine example of an old colonial town, rich in the architecture of the period, but added to this is the historical significance that it was George Washington's "home town." Hither he came to attend the balls and other social festivities that brought out all the landed gentry of the old dominion; here he attended church every Sunday when residing at Mount Vernon; and to this place he repaired when business matters connected with his large estate required legal or other adjustment that could not readily be negotiated on the plantation. Alexandria was the meeting place of the Masonic lodge of which George Washington was so prominent a member and here was located a volunteer fire company that boasted our first president as one of its members. In short, from every standpoint, Alexandria meant more to George Washington than the nearest town or cross-roads community is apt to do to the present-day American farmer in this era of rural free delivery and railroads and trolleys and automobiles. seat of the Father of His Country.

In George Washington's time Alexandria—or Bellhaven as it was at first known along about the middle of the eighteenth century—was one of the most prominent ports in the United States and seemed to hold out every promise of extensive development in the future. George Washington himself took a hand in booming the port, which developed an extensive foreign trade. The docks were crowded with warehouses filled with corn, tobacco and other products, while in the harbor were always to be found many of the largest class of cargo ships of that period loading and discharging a variety of commodities. As the Amor In George Washington's time Alexandria—or Bellhaven as it was at first known along about the middle of the eighteenth century—was one of the most prominent ports in the United States and seemed to hold out every promise of extensive development in the future. George Washington himself took a hand in booming the port, which developed an extensive foreign trade. The docks were crowded with warehouses filled with corn, tobacco and other products, while in the harbor were always to be found many of the largest class of cargo ships of that period loading and discharging a variety of commodities. As the American terminus of a heavy overseas trade Alexandria became well known in shipping circles in England, and it was thought for a time that the port on the Potomac would overshadow Baltimore. Then came the various influences that combined to bring about the commercial eclipse of the little city so dear to the heart of the nation's liberator. One of the first of these was the establishment only a few miles away of the capital of the nation, which speedily overshadowed Alexandria in various ways. Then came the building of railroads, which diverted much traffic to other channels, and finally the Civil war helped to put a blight upon the community which had long been one of the strongholds of the Lees of Virginia. But even in this twentieth century neglected Alexandria gets "on the map" as least one day each year—namely, on the 22d of February, when with each recurring anniversary of Washington's birthday there is a big celebration in the little city that is filled with landmarks and objects identified with the private life and public career of the leader of the Revolution. Often the president of the United States goes to Alexandria by boat or trolley to participate in the exercises, and the governors of Virginia and Maryland are invariably invited. On such occasions the town which is located in closer proximity to historic Mount Vernon than is any other community, appears almost too small to accommodate the crowds that invade her public places. For be it known, for all that there are handsome, well-paved business streets that afford a route of parade for the procession that is an invariable feature of this holiday, there are other highways and by ways in the staid, dignified, conservative old town that readily convince the visitor that they have undergone little if any alteration since the days of George Washington. Old Alexandria is "going on" three hundred years of age, for it was founded as long ago as 1730, although, as previously explained, it was known for some score of years by another name. In 1848 the general assembly of the colony of Virginia formally designated it as Alexandria. The town retains to this day the names of its streets, chosen in the days of long ago from the titles of royalty and nobility. Thus we find as the most conspicuous thoroughfares King, Prince, Duke and Royal streets. Alexandria was the starting place of General Braddock's famous expedition against the French and Indians which, ill-fated though it was, served to bring George Washington, for the first time. THE APPEAL. FIGHT ON TYPHOID Efforts Being Made to Check Spread of Disease. Soldiers in the Regular Army, Officers and Enlisted Men in the Navy, and Hundreds of Militiamen Are Being Vaccinated. Washington.—The government has demonstrated that typhoid fever prevalent all over the United States, and a tremendous tax upon the life as well as the finances of the nation, may be prevented by vaccination. It has already made thousands of men immune to the disease and thousands conspicuously before his countrymen. Here, in the old Carlisle house, which remains to this day one of the chief "show places" of the historic old town, George Washington and other leading men of the colony had a lengthy conference with the British commander on the night before the expedition set out upon the campaign which was destined to go down in history as "Braddock's defeat." The old Carlisle house, which is assuredly one of the most interesting structures'in the United States, fell sadly into decay some years ago, although a move looking to its complete restoration has latterly been made by a patriotic society. George Washington was a frequent guest at Carlisle house—the mansion of Major Carlisle, and when, after a social function in Alexandria he returned to Mount Vernon by boat it was almost invariably from the Carlisle house that he set out, the terraced grounds of the mansion sloping down to the river, rendering it convenient for General Washington and his house guests to step into the barge to be rowed to his manor house farther down on the Virginia shore of the Potomac. It was also General Washington's custom to sup at Carlisle house each 22d of February when he came to Alexandria to attend the "Birth Night Balls," which were instituted in his honor in Alexandria after he rose to fame as the hero of the War for Independence. These balls were held at Claggett's tavern and constituted the supreme height of Alexandria's social glory. General Washington was most intimately identified with the history of Alexandria from the year 1763, when he purchased considerable property in the town. He showed himself a good citizen by becoming a member of the Friendship Fire Engine company. This was a volunteer organization NAMING THE BOY. Old Jum, gardener and general factotum, was accompanied one day by a bright-looking lad eight or ten years old. "Is this your boy?" I asked. "Yessuh, he mine, he las' one I got, suh—Juntor, you wuffles nigger,mek your manners ter de white folks!" "Yessuh, he mine, he las' one I got, suh—Jun wuffles nigger, mek your manners ter- white folks!" "Junlor," I commented. "So he is named a you."

"So he is named after you." "Nawsuh," the old man replied rather indignantly; "he ain't named fur me! My name Jumbo, whar my mammy git out de Bible.

Writing about a recent "function," the soci editor of the Hills, Kan., Review-Headlight as "Light refreshments were served, consist of popcorn, cider, etc., served in courses." Writing about a recent "function," the society editor of the Ellis, Kau, Review-Headlight says: "Light refreshments were served, consisting of noporn, cider, etc., served in courses." Defective Page for any such thing as a fire-fighting department with paid employees was, of course, totally unknown in those days. Tradition recounts that not only was the Father of His Country a supporter of this old-time fire-fighting organization, but that on the occasion of more than one fire he "ran with the machine" in the good old-fashioned way. Another organization which rivals the veteran fire company in interest is the Masonic lodge of which Washington was a member, and the lodge rooms of which in the city hall at Alexandria are filled with Washington relics of princeless value. Among the buildings in Alexandria which attract much attention from visitors is the old colonial mansion at the corner of Duke and St. Asaph streets, where Lafayette and his suite were quartered when the distinguished Frenchman visited this country and where a great ball was given in his honor. Not far distant is the building occupied as the first free school in America—a school established through the bounty of "George Washington. On Fairfax street, near Duke, is the First Presbyterian church, built in 1774, and on Cameron street is the town house of Lord Thomas Fairfax, a splendid example of the architecture of the Georgian period and yet in a perfect state of preservation. Persons who essay to "tour Alexandria" by motor car are destined to many a bump and jolt, for whereas the principal business streets are paved with ashphalt most of the old residential streets have the great cobble stones that have withstood the traffic of more than a century. However, it is interesting to note that even this primitive paying has its historic significance, for these same cobblestones were laid under General Wington's direction by the Hessian prisoners, captured by the continental army. Mount Vernon Token Returned When Mount Vernon, the home of Washington was restored some 30 years ago the various states were asked to send some token to be placed in the rooms. The women of Kansas sent a solid walnut, hand carved seal of Kansas to represent this state. For 30 years the beautiful sea has been standing in the former home of the Father of His Country and it has just been returned to the Kansas Historical society to be placed in the exhibit of Kansas curios. The piece is carved from one solid piece of native Kansas walnut, one of the few perfect pieces of walnut wood found in the state. A search of several months was required to find a tree suitable for the work. One was found in Coffey county and was cut down expressly for this carving. It is four feet long and two feet high and is intended to go over the door of some hall. The seal was carved by the late Henry Worral of Topeka, the first artist in Kansas. He worked all one summer on it. In the center is the great seal of the state, painted in colors in oil by Professor Worral. Around the seal are the words "Great Seal of the State of Kansas, January 29 1861," carved by hand, each letter in relief Around the seal are grouped the products of Kansas. When the servant quarters were restored at Mount Vernon, Kansas school children raised the money to pay for the restoration. It was the decided that Kansas had sufficient representation among the relics in the home and the great sea was returned to the Historical society.

Soldiers in the Regular Army, Officers and Enlisted Men in the Navy, and Hundreds of Militiamen Are Being Vaccinated. Washington.—The government has demonstrated that typhoid fever prevalent all over the United States, and a tremendous tax upon the life as well as the finances of the nation, may be prevented by vaccination. It has already made thousands of men immune to the disease and thousands more should be vaccinated against the ravages of the life-sapping disease, according to eminent scientists in the employ of the government. At present, soldiers in the regular army, officers and some enlisted men in the navy, and hundreds of militiamen are submitting to vaccination against typhoid. When one realizes, that out of 1,500 soldiers inoculated with typhoid vaccine in Texas last year in a district in which many unvaccinated persons died of the disease, not one contracted the malady, one is impressed with the remarkable success of the life-saving serum. Typhoid fever is the bane of all large cities. Small towns are often decimated by an epidemic of the disease. Travelers fall prey to the noxious typhoid germs in all sections of the country. Under present conditions of sanitation, save in few places, no one is proof against an attack of the often fatal typhoid germs. Cities have spent millions upon millions of dollars in trying to fight typhoid fever by creating pure water supplies. In some cases, such as in Washington, for instance, millions were spent in purifying the water supply so as to reduce the mortality from typhoid fever without, however, succeeding in lowering the death rate from the disease. In small towns, where typhoid epidemics have taken away a large percentage of the inhabitants, steps have been taken by sanitary engineers to prevent future epidemics. In many cases, however, these preventive methods have been useless, for the fever has broken out anew at times when Vaccinating Soldiers With Typhoid Serum. the people felt most secure against its ravages. Typhoid vaccine, therefore, has been hailed as a blessing by dwellers in these small towns, although it has not been used by them to any great extent. According to eminent government officials, the annual toll of typhoid fever in the United States, which runs well up into the thousands, is an absolute waste of life. Were 10,000 lives claimed annually by football, by boxing, by war, by fire-fighting, or by persons being caught by fire in moving picture theaters, the people of the country would rise up in wrath and demand that such fatalities cease without any delay. Take delirious typhoid fever, which, when not fatal, often leaves its victims handicapped for life, and the people are more tolerant, although the disease may be prevented, as may the fires in moving picture shows or the fatal accidents on football fields. While anti-typhoid vaccination is absolutely infallible under certain limitations in the protection of the individual, the government and many of the public health officers in the larger cities of the country are of the opinion that anti-typhoid vaccination should not, at this time at least, become general in the big cities. They fear, that, should the citizens of a large city become vaccinated as a whole against typhoid fever, the city as a whole would become careless in sanitary matters. The government wants it distinctly understood that typhoid vaccination should not lessen the sanitary precautions at the bedside in cases of the fever, the disinfections of the typhoid excreta in the household, the keeping of water supplies, both private and public, free from contamination, the purification of public water supplies where impurities are indicated, and the supervision of the production and sale of milk, and other foodstuffs. Health officers are well aware that, the moment there is the least let-up in the enforcement of sanitary regulations, epidemics follow.

EIFFEL TOWER STOPS STORMS Famous Structure Has Been Turned Into a Huge Instrument for Protecting the Country. Paris.—The famous Eiffel tower, long celebrated as the highest structure in the world, has been turned into a huge instrument for protecting the country from hallstorms. French scientists hold the theory that hallstorms are due to electrical disturbances in the atmosphere, and they have fitted the great tower with an apparatus which will carry off the atmospheric electricity. This apparatus consists of two great bands of copper 28 inches wide. The ends are furnished with projecting points and reach from the summit of the tower without shores and fastenings along Copper Bands Which Will Carry Off Atmospheric Electricity and Prevent Hailstorms. two columns which go into the ground, in contact with the enormous conduit of water that works the elevators. By this means communication is established between the gigantic structure and the earth. The tower thus finds itself transformed into an electric Niagara, the bands of copper serving to make a connection between the earth and the clouds charged with electricity. A hailstorm is usually characterized by the formation of very high cumulus clouds, strong surface winds, considerable lightning and thunder and heavy rains. It appears probable that it is formed either in the front of an advancing cool wave or in connection with a local thunderstorm or tornado. OLDEST CIVIL WAR VETERAN Edward Munroe, 103 Years Old, Living in London, Tells of His Service Under Farraig. London.—In a little basement room, down an alleyway, off Holloway road, Islington, lives Mr. Edward Munroe, centenarian sailor, who, born in Nova Scotia on September 3, 1809, believes he is the oldest veteran of the American Civil war. Mr. Munroe is wonderfully well preserved, and although riches have passed him by he lives now on the little pension granted by the United States government, he is as cheerful as a carefree boy. He delights to talk of the battles of the Civil war and speaks proudly of the admirals under whom he served, but he cherishes above all the memory of Admiral Farragut, and a faded photograph of the great sailor is his dearest possession. "I was born of English parents, in Truro, Nova Scotia, but spent my EDWARD MUNROE early days in Philadelphia," said the veteran. "I made my first sea voyage at the age of fourteen, and for 70 years have been a sailor. "My first ship in the American navy was the wooden sloop John Adams. After four years in the navy I went back to the merchant service and then again into the navy. I spent a long time, too, chasing pirates. "Once, when I was in hospital in Rio Janeiro," said Mr. Munroe impressively, "I lay, next to an old pirate, one of Laffitte's Gulf of Mexico band. He was dying and he gave me the map of the spot where Laffitte buried a large part of his loot, about 75 miles from New Orleans, on the Louisiana coast. I made an agreement last year with an English captain to hand the plans over to him, but he did not fulfill his contract, so I have broken off the negotiations." HISTORICAL $2.40 PER YEAR. FIND MANY RELIGS Amherst Men Make Many Discoveries in Patagonia. Biological Expedition Now on Its Way Home With Many Scientific Treasures and After Finding a Colony of Prosperous Boers. New York.—After having passed six months devoted to scientific exploration in the wilds of interior Patagonia, the members of the Amherst college biological expedition are homeward bound from Buenos Ayres to New York by way of London, bringing with them many important contributions to science and a fund of interesting experiences. The expedition, which left for Patagonia on July 3 last, is in charge of Prof. F. B. Loomis of the chair of biology in Amherst college. His associates are Waldo Shumway, Amherst, 1911; Layton Turner, Amherst, 1912, and William Stein. Letters recently received from Professor Loomis by his associates in Amherst and from Mr. Turner by his mother report that the expedition has discovered some entirely new biological specimens and gathered much valuable geological data. It has shipped to the college four more or less complete prehistoric skeletons, 15 skulls and a large number of jaws, which include fine specimens of the Eocene—horse, elephant, rodent, primate, notostylopus and a large variety of other specimens taken from the bone beds discovered by the party. Some of the most valuable additions to geological knowledge are the rich marine deposits which the Amberst men discovered, in some instances at levels a thousand feet above the sea. Amongs these are specimens of petrified trees, some six feet in diameter, which are supposed to have been driven in by Atlantic storms of the prehistoric ages. In one spot they found what appeared like an entire raft of these huge trees. Members of the party also collected the fossil remains of marine life, such as sharks' teeth, alligators and turtles, from beds hundreds of feet above the present sea level. Shells of bivalves similar to the oyster, but a foot or more in diameter, were found in the same locality. The present expedition is the third of a series which has been financed by the Amberst class of 1896. Striking inland from Rawson, a small town on the Chubut coast, the little party, with its tents, a specially Expedition Camp in Patagonia. built mountain wagon and its complete scientific equipment, penetrated to the valleys of the Chubut and the Rio Chico and traversed the almost barren tableland that stretches between. Living trees are so rare in this country of the pampas that throughout the settled portions of the territory the inhabitants build their dwellings of corrugated iron imported from abroad. Practically the only vegetation which is common is a stunted growth resembling the sagebrush of the American desert. While the college men often found water a scarce luxury, they have had an abundance of buzzards and ostrich eggs. One of the latter makes a huge omelet and the shells are worth $5 a piece in the United States. Under date of October 3 last Professor Loomis writes: "I have not yet so many fossils as I would like, but can already see that we will be able to revise pretty thoroughly the geology. I have for mounting the skin of a guanaco, which Shumway shot and which we are eating. It is a three hundred pound buck and we got one hundred pounds of good meat from it. Then later I ran into an ostrich nest, with fifteen good eggs. Each night I blow two and we have a big scrambled egg dish for breakfast." In the Chico valley the American scientists came across an interesting colony of Boer ranchers. With the same spirit that led their forebears to trek back into the hinterland from Cape Colony, when the British occupied it almost a century ago, some of them have emigrated to this new country rather than live under English domination in the Transvaal. In Patagonia they have found a country not unlike that of their old South African homes. They are all sheep growers, for the shrubbery, sparse though it is, seems to supply sufficient sustenance to make that industry profitable. In some localities, Mr. Turner writes, the Boers form so large a proportion of the population that Boer phrases and words are becoming a part of the colloquial language.

It is a strange fact that every race produces a class of men who are will ing to belittle their own people for the smiles or cash of the oppressor. We have hundreds of the “good nig- ser" class here in the United States, who glory in doing all they can to in- jure the Afro-American people, pro- vided they can get a jimerow office in some alleged Christian organization or the cash of the white man.

For it must be admitted that nothing short of a National crisis—such as may come in the future, but is not within the range of sane imagination now—would ever be accepted as justification for such a change of front, and this Roose- velt must know.” 2 ‘The motto of the Republican opponents to the President, the Secretary declared, was “anything to beat Taft.” - “When it was found impossible,” continued Mr. MacVeagh, “to make headway with La Follette or Cummins because they failed to touch the Na- tional imagination the Insurgents look about again and then thought of Roosevelt. This unauthorized, happy-go-lucky Roosevelt movement is the latest way to ‘beat Taft.’ It is the new club, the new bludgeon. Why they should wish to ‘beat Taft’ at all is beyond reasonable human comprehension, They don’t want to nominate La Follette or Cummins or Roosevelt. The ‘anything-to-beat-Taft’, movement was begun as a vendetta—and it has more or iess of that biood-in-the-eye character still. “Unless I am gravely. mistaken they will find a different man to deal with In Roosevelt. I believe the ‘anything-to-beat-Taft’ people will never succeed in getting Roosevelt to lead them. They are dealing with one who knows politics and with a man who has a wealth of great things of the Past to look after, to cherish, and to protect. A third term, even if’a third term were legitimatized by the authority of an unanimous demand of the People, would be of far less value to him than the undimmed record of the two terms he has served.” “there is a deep-seated purpose on the part of Chester county not to convict a while man for the murder of a Ne- gro."

All of the delegates thus far elected for the Republican Nat- fonal Convention at Chicago are for President Taft’s renomination. Taft on the First Ballot. Out of a total of 1,076 votes at the Republican National Convention, President Taft will have 780, This is the conclusion: reached by Secretary Hilles, Representative McKinley, Chairman of the Congressional Com: mittee and Manager of the Taft Cam- paign, and Senator Crane of Massa. chusetts, after a conference. Mr. Hilles, who has been in close touch with the Taft leaders in the various states stated the facts as they are and it is the opinion of these men that the President will have things his own way at the convention, Campaign Manager McKinley. The selection of Hon. William B. McKinley as manager of the pre-con: vention Taft campaign was an inspira. tion. The insurgent members of the Congressional Committee urged the reelection of Mr. McKinley as chair- man, believing him to be the best- equipped man for the place and within twelve hours after he had been elected President Taft named him as manager of his campaign, ‘The appointment of Mr. McKinley is especially pleasing to the Afro-Americans of the country, because they know that he is a man wholly without race prejudice, genial and democratic in his manner. As- sisting Mr. McKinley will be Secre- tary Hilles, Senators Penrose and Crane, former Speaker Cannon and other old guard Republicans who are Interested in the renomination of President Taft. Mr. John C. Eversman, secretary to Mr. McKinley, will be ia charge of the office work at the head- quarters. Mr. Eversman is a brilliant young man who has been of great assistance to Chairman McKinley in previous campaigns. He is assistant treasurer of the Republican Congres- sional ‘Committee. Mr. Eversman is exceptionally well-equipped for this work as he is a master of details and an indefatigable worker. Taft Gets the District of Columbia Delegates. Aaron Bradshaw and W. Calvin Chase, were elected delegates to the Republican . National Convention at Chicago at the primary here Saturday. They are pledged to President Taft. Yatt Bare Dikcawinetions: An amendment of the Civil Service | rules relating to removals, which as- sures persons in the Government | service that “no discrimination shall be exercised for political or religious Yeasons,” and which makes other im- portant changes, was promulgated by President ‘Taft today. The amended tule “will result in giving absolute security within legal limits to Govern- ment employes, safeguarding them | against removal for caprice,” says a statement issued by the Civil Service’ Commission. “In making this,” it added, “the President has published an emancipation proclamation for the benefit of Government employes and has evidenced his high regard for the | least right of the humblest man and for the right observance of the law.” John Ambler, Commodore Perry's Body Guard, Dead. ee John Ambler, personal body-guard to Commodore ‘Perry on the memor- ite = = ee so able voyage which opened the ports of China and Japan to the commerce of the world is dead.

Ambler was born in Washington, November 19, 1827, At the age of 15 he shipped on the Mississippi, Commodore Perry's flagship, which left Norfolk on her memorable voyage to. the East, November 24, 1842, He was said to be the first Afro-American to enter a Chinese port on a steam vessel. Mr. Ambler, whose memory for historical dates was accurate, was fond of describing the entrance of the Miss- issippi into the Bay of Yeddo, and the Passage up to the city of the same fname, One of his most cherished Telies of the voyage was a piece of sail from the Mississippi, with which he bound several of his favorite books. President Reprieves Afro-American Woman. President Taft has granted a 91-day reprieve to Mattie Lomax, awaiting execution here for the murder of her husband, This is the second reprieve extended to the woman, who was convicted of murdering her husband. In the event of her being hanged it will be the first execution of a woman in the District since the execution of Mrs, Surratt. Taft Proclaimed Sartorial Model. ‘A party of Washington merchant tailors, who left yesterday for their national convention at New York City, voted President Tatt the best dressed President since Arthur, ‘The contingent included some of the best known merchant tailors in the Capital City, and on the way to New York fine apparel was, of course, the principal topic. ‘The discussion grew animated, and finally the suggestion was made that a vote be taken, The vote declared Mr. Taft the winner. Held on Till He Died. ‘Thomas Brown, an Afro-American laborer in the Capitol and who 12 years ago declined to be fired is dead of old age. Brown entered the service of the government in 1865, but more than a decade ago Col. Dick Bright, then sergeant at arms of the Senate, Sought to discharge him, “Go ‘way from here with all that foolish talk,” retorted Brown, “I haven't got time to talk to you. I've got my work to do.” Several Senators interceded for Brown and the order of dismissal was withdrawn. ‘The old man was one of the charac: ters of the Capitol.

The masquerade social at Pilgrim Baptist Church, under auspices of the Ladies' Aid Society, Wednesday evening, was quite well attended and was a most pleasant affair in every way. There were a number of nice masks. The first prize was awarded to Mr. Ed Griffith for the best costume, the prize for the most comical was awarded to Miss Ellinore Barksdale. There was lots of fun and refreshments. One of the great annual events of Pilgrim Baptist Church is the "Washington Dinner" which occurs this year, as usual on next Thursday, Feb. 22. Washington's Birthday, from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m., the dinner will be served by the Society under the management of Mice. Birdie High, and of course, will be of the usual high order.

Jones' 42d birthday at the parsanage, Tuesday night was a very delightful affair and was well attended. There was a large cake with 42 little candles on it and Rev. Jones received a handsome lounging robe from the stewardesses; a rain coat from the deaconeses; pair slippers from the One More Effort Club; embroidered pillow, Mr. and Mrs. Shedd Laurence, handsome bunch of violets from Iowa and a box of toilet soap. The greatest event of Lincoln's birthday last Monday was the Lincoln Club's eighteenth annual banquet which was held in the Palm Room of Hotel St. Paul. There were in the neighborhood of 500 banqueters present. The speakers were Edwin M. Parish, Mayor H. P. Keller, Dan Reese, Gov. Eberhardt and last but no means by less, Adam Bede. The banquet, taken all in all, was the largest and best in the history of the club. The Afro-Americans were represented by Messrs. Geo James, F. B. Simpson, R. C. Minor, O. D. Howard, J. H. Dillingham, S. E. Hall, J. F. Coquire, B. C. Archer, W. T. Francis, T. H. Lyles, C. L. Smith, J. B. Johnson, F. D. Parker, Judge Johnson, D. E. Beasley, J. Q. Adams, Rev. E. H. McDonald and J. R. White, Dr. Valdo Turner. Mayor Keller announced his candidacy for re-election amid much enthusiasm. 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 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. GRAND MEETING. To Show Appreciation of the Great Gift of Mr. Joseph Elsinger of the Golden Rule. St. James A. M. E. Church was filled Thursday evening by the people who desired to show their appreciation of the munificent gift of Mr. Joseph Elsinger, of the property known as the Crispus Attucks Orphanage and Old Folks' Home, situated at the corner of Randolph and Brimhall streets, valued at $25,000. The meeting opened with prayer by Rev. Joseph Strong. Mr. J. H. Charleston introduced Mr. O. C. Hall as chairman for the evening, who in turn introduced Mr. W. T. Francis, Rev. Lealtad, Rev. Wilkenson, Dr. John Wright, Rev. H. P. Jones, Mrs. Hattie Fox and Mr. F. L. McGhee, all of whom spoke in the highest terms of the generous christian spirit of Mr. Elsinger. Mrs. R. C. Minor sang a beautiful solo. Over $70 in cash was collected on the $1,000 that is to be raised at once toward the erection of the new building. Mr. Elsinger was unable to be present, but he was fully represented by Mrs. Hattie Fox. The occasion was one of much moment to the people of St. Paul. The trustees of the Home presented the following resolutions, which were read by Chairman Hall: Joseph of old is rightfully revered because he opened the king's granaries to feed his own people, after they had sold him a slave into Egypt. The name of Moses is preserved through thousands of years of stirring events, because he led his own people from a despotic, thieving slavery to a view of the Promised Land. Say "David," and men are still inspired with a righteous courage, faith and tenacity of purpose, because he fought the battles of his own people and ruled them justly. The mention of Solomon sets all our sensibilities aglow when we recall the temple he built for his own people, and the words of wisdom he gave them. But it remained for St. Paul to produce the rainbow hued gem of incomparable value and rareness, that should combine all the color, with deeper dye and more brilliant radiance, that those splendid characters possessed, that should reflect its power and influence upon the infinite recurring generations of a benefitted and grateful postity; one person who should feed and clothe; lead from sufferings imposed by race prejudice, as degrading and more painful than slavery; fight battles of moral force farther reaching in effect; and more vigor, manhood and resource than a clash of arms; and finally build and equip a "Home Sweet Home," and prepare for industrial combat, not his own people alone, but an alien despised race—NEGROES. The person so extraordinary is Joseph Elsinger. Like Aubou Ben Adhem, "May his tribe increase." He goes into Earth's dark places And hangs there a light of Joy, Choosing neither shades nor races, Helping man, woman, girl or boy. When he's called from Earth to glory, From the lives he is brightened here, Serap bands will sing the story, And commend him to God's own care. We'll follow along his pathway, And keep up the good he's begun. By the work we do try to say, "He's the best man under the sun." Orrington C. Hall, Chairman Inez Pope, Secretary Rev. H. P. Jones, Rev. E. H. McDonald, Rev. J. Will King, J. H. Hickman, Mrs. Wright. The Next Attraction at the Grand Opera House. The "Mutt and Jeff" cartoons by Bud Fisher, now running in the New York American and half a hundred other newspapers all over the country, have the unique distinction of being the first series of cartoons Defective Page which have actually interested grown up folks as much, if not more than the children. One of the features of their success can be best described as producing the maximum of fun by the minimum of labor or effort. A half dozen off hand strokes of a crayon, in the hands of this clever artist, produces an effect that makes the people of two continents laugh every day. In other words, of, as his own creations would word it, "Fisher's the easy money kid." Without a particle of exaggeration, it is a known fact that the young men of New York and other cities, actually get out of their "cozy nest" early morning, to get a copy of "The American" or their local paper, to see what's doin' with "Mutt and Jeff." Gus Hill is sending a sumptuous production of "Mutt and Jeff" to the Grand for an engagement of one week commencing Sunday matinee, Feb. 18 and including a special matinee Washington's Birthday. The play is a musical comedy of unusual strength, requiring the services of more than half a hundred artists, including a chorus of stunningly pretty girls. "Mutt and Jeff" antics sufficient to gladden the hearts of Fisher's scores of admirers are promised, embellished by a mass of gorgeous scenery and accessories. It is distinctly a laughing show and the acknowledged novelty of the year. Don't miss it! IF ALL THINGS GO WELL THE PEOPLE OF ST.

LIVED 102 YEARS. Then Was Accidentally Burned to Death in Her Home. Mrs. Anna Slate, who had been a resident of St. Paul for 50 years and was known to thousands of its citizens, was accidentally burned to death in her little home, 293 Edmund street, Monday night. She was somewhat eccentric and had lived alone for years, and being old and feeble she had been taken care of by charitably disposed persons. She was a member of Pilgrim Baptist Church for many years and stood high in the esteem of those who knew her. She took place at Pilgrim Baptist Church, Thursday afternoon, the church being filled with citizens of both races, composing some of the best people of the city. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. E. H. McDonald, the pastor. Music was furnished by the choir, Mr. J. H. Hickman Jr., sang as a solo "In the Christian's Home in Glory."

K. Hilary, who was stricken by the hand of Death on last Wednesday. Mrs. Hilary was a native of North Carolina, but came to St. Paul over 30 years ago. She was married to Mr. J. K. Hilary in 1873 and has resided ever since. Since the death of her husband, she has been a great sufferer from physical ailments and finally succeeded to a bad case of blood poisoning on last Wednesday aged 60 years. She leaves three sisters and five brothers to mourn her departure; viz: William K. and Alfred Godette of St. Paul; Mary, Henry and Pamela Godette and Mrs. Clara Grant of Ohio and Mrs. Sadie Johnson of Chicago. Also her step mother, Mrs. James Godette of Aberlin, Ohio She was J. K. Hilyard's second wife and step mother of Henry Hilyard, of Pennsylvania; James Hilyard, of Hudson, Wis. and W. A. Hilyard of St. Paul. She was a member of St. Paul Chapter, O. E. S. under whose auspices the funeral services were held at her late residence, 125 E. 9th, yesterday at 1:00 o'clock and at 2:30 at the church of the Good Shepherd. Revs. A. H. Lealtod of St. Phillips and Rev. W. C. Pope, rector of Good Shepherd officiating. Music was furnished by a special choir. The funeral was largely attended and the floral tributes were numerous and beautiful. The pal p bearsers were Messrs.' Allen French, J. H. Daubbins, B. R. Durant, Wm. Liggins, F. D. Parker, and J. H.

The New York board of health has declared that three drinks per day is the limit to keep healthy. The report from the board goes further and explains: "Heart disease and cirrhosis of the liver are often associated with the excessive use of stimulants. It is hard to establish any standard for what is excess, as there is a marked difference in individuals. Many physicians believe that a man is better off without spirits. Anything above three ounces of alcohol a day, which is equivalent to about six of whisky, or three drinks is excessive." All right, then! We'll confine our self to only three drinks per day.

Prices on everything seems to be going up, and the newspaper publisher is among the sufferers. The price for setting type has been advanced ONE-THIRD, therefore a higher price must be charged for advertisements and articles published in the papers. Don't forget this. MADE TO DO DOUBLE DUTY Great Writer's Brilliant Idea to Combine Trouvers and Slippers in One Garment. In a village in the heart of Touraine there lives an old man whose pride it is that he once had the honor of making a pair of trousers for Balzac. The old tailor delights to tell of his meeting with the distinguished Frenchman, Harper's Weekly says. When the tailor got to the chateau where Balzac was staying he found him in the garden at work on a novel. He was so busy that the tailor waited in silence. Many sheets of paper, covered with fine writing, lay around him. He would write a spell, then stare wildly about, and then go at it again as if he knew that a world was waiting for his words. After standing near and watching the great man a while the tailor at last felt that he must interrupt Balzac in order to get his measure for the trousers. Balzac was extremely good-natured; smiled as the tailor measured him, but spoke but once. "No feet," said he, as the tailor finished his measurements. Then he turned to his work. The worthy tailor had no idea at all what this meant, but for some reason he had not courage enough to interrupt the novelist again to ask. However, the tailor chanced to meet a servant on his way out and of him inquired what Mons. Balzac meant by "No feet." "Oh," responded the servant. "Mons. Balzac wants his trousers made without any openings at the bottom, so that he can sit and write without having to put on slippers." HAPPY MARRIAGE RECIPE Noninterference Policy Would Remove Many Causes of Discontent Among the Wedded. The experience of a married couple who have lived together for 70 years without a quarrel possesses a practical value which outweighs any amount of theorizing, and the reasons for the happy union given by Mr. and Mrs. Levi Sherwood, who enjoy this distinction, have a wide interest. "We just loved each other and Laat was all there was to it," said Mrs. Sherwood. But the true recipe seems to be contained in the husband's remark that he "minded his own business, while she tended to her own affairs." In that simple policy of noninterference is comprised all the philosophy not only of happy marriage, but of harmonious human relations in the broader sense. If the married adhered to this rule, there would be little marital discord, less divorce, and fewer causes of domestic disagreement. In the police courts. The very latitude of action which this enlightened couple gave to each other served to unite them more closely and to avert the conflict of interests which causes shipwreck. Theirs was a union without a dictator or boss. Matrimony, like everything else, may suffer from too much regulation. Cities and states suffer from it no less than unhappy wives and the small boy who is accounted incorrigible. A general application of the policy of noninterference which made this a happy marriage might remove more serious causes of public discontent.—New York World. Where do you get your laundry work done?

WHERE TO DRAW THE LINE Gallant Colonel Points Out Danger of Too Much Politeness on Occasions. "A man should always try to be no-nice to women, except of, course, on street cars" said Col. Wilbert Wimberl the other day after he had stepped on a policeman's foot in his effort to return a feminine handkerchief. But there is one thing politeness should never lead you to do. Never try to pick up a woman's purse for her. If you see a woman drop her gloves or a book or a parcel, jump for it with all the eagerness of a bull pup, and return it to her in your best manner. You will be rewarded with a smile. But do not jump for her pocketbook. No, sir, do not. I once made that mistake, but never again. The owner did not understand. With the cry of a wounded lioness saving her cubs she pounded upon her property, nearly driving a hatpin through the padded bosom of my frock coat. 'No, you don't!' she hissed. 'You can't snatch no hard working woman's purse like that.' "When you see a woman drop her money, give a yell and spring back from her about four feet and stand with your hands up. Then she can not possibly misunderstand your intentions." GIVING THEM A FAIR START Warden of Colorado Penitentiary Says Discharged Prisoners Should Have Some Funds. Tom Tynan, warden of the Colorado penitentiary, believes the released convict should be given money upon his discharge. George Creel, in an article in Success Magazine, quotes him as follows: "And when the prisoner has been reformed—strengthened in body and mind, taught means of livelihood and the habits of industry—what then? Must he go out with nothing in his pockets but his hands? I don't think so. No fair man can think so." "The released convict must have some money; enough at least to tide him over the first few months—to keep him from feeling like a vagrant—to prevent his despair and relapse. I am in favor of a law that will pay the men a certain salary toward the end of the sentence—say $1 a day for the last sixty days. It is my endeavor to have every prisoner go back into the world from the ranch or road—clear eyed, brown faced—and heaven these fellows earn the money." Oxford, which Lord Curzon desires to "reform," has traveled very far from the condition of things observed by a German explorer toward the end of the eighteenth century. He had arrived at the city at midnight and was introduced by a Good Samaritan to the Mitre. Here, to his intense astonishment, he saw several gentlemen in academic dress seated round a table, each with a pot of beer in front of him. "My health," says the traveler, "was drunk in strong ale. At last, as morning drew near, one of the company exclaimed rather emphatically, 'I must read prayers this morning at All Souls.'"—London Chronicle. "Did he have any luck on his fishing trip?" "Enough to keep him in conversation for several weeks." ```markdown ``` Oxford Hospitality PHONE 935 2:00 P.M. 2:30 P.M. 3.00 P.M. 3:30 P.M FOR QUICK DELIVERY Hamm's LEADS THEM ALL MONTANA MEAT MARKET G.
