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. VOL. 28. NO. 9. A YAHEEKINA INDIAN IN DAKINE COSTUME W 18EN, some years ago, the present writer projected a journey through the interior of Venezuela and Colomba, his friends, among them several natives of the two countries named, tried to dissuade him from the undertaking. After picturing to him the countless privations and dangers they were certain would be met, they went through the great wilderness, capitates the larger part of the Republics that border the Caribbean, they declared it would be ```markdown ``` tempting Providence to venture among the ruthless savages who inhabit the forests and llanos watered by the Orinoco and its affluents. So great, however, was his desire to visit this little-known part of the world that he determined, in spite of the difficulties and dangers predicted, to make at least the attempt to accomplish his long-herished purpose. He has always been glad that he paid no heed to the horrible forebodings that were volunteered by well-meaning but ill-advised people. Had he done so, he would have deprived himself of one of the most delightful experiences of his life. For, outside of certain discomforts in separately connected with roughing it in the wild, the entire trip was one of agreeable surprises and unalloyed pleasure. And, in lieu of bloodthirsty savages seeking to transfix him with poisoned arrows, he would have indicted all along his route to not only harmless, but hospitable and obliging, indeed some of the most pleasant recollections he has of his wandering in the wilds of Venezuela and Colombian is the kindly treatment he invariably received at the hands of the children of the forest. These observations, says a writer in the Pan-American Bulletin, have been suggested by a work which has recently been published in Berlin on the Indians inhabiting the region between the Río Negro and the Yapura. It is by Dr. Theodor Koch-Grunberg, a distinguished German traveler and ethnologist, and is entitled "Zwel Jahre unter den Indianner" (Two Years Among the Indians) has appealed to us as a special mention, not only in account of the minima in the region it contains regarding the manners and customs of the various tribes of Indians which the author visited during his two years' peregrinations in this comparatively unknown part of the world; not only on account of its numerous and valuable illustrations reproduced from photographs which constitutes so valuable an aid to the right understanding of the narrative, but also, and chiefly, because the doctor's experiences among the red men of the regions visited were almost identical with our own in other parts of the continent. It was in August, 1903, that Dr. Koch-Grunberg reached the little town of Sao Felipe base of the Uapura, New Guinea, where he proceeded without delay to explore its western affluents, the icana, the Uapes, the Curicurary, and their chief tributaries, and to study the manners, customs and languages of the divers Indian tribes that live on or near their banks. After spending nearly two years among these people, some of whom never saw a white man before, he returned to Manaos, near the mouth of the Río Negro, by way of the Yapura and the Amazon. He was well equipped for his work, which for him was ever a labor of love. He had previously visited the Xingu in southern Brazil, and had learned to admire the many notable qualities of the unpenetrated denizens of the jungle. Outside of a young Brazilian, of German descent, his sole companions during his long wanderings among many tribes—some of whom, he had been warned, were antropoglosses (cannibals)—were Indians whom he employed as porters and boatmen. And these were in most instances what are known as indios braves (wild Indians) who had little or no contact with civilization. But so completely indoors they were, that they were a fraction of these simple, kindly people that they at once treated him as one of their own and made him feel at home wherever he went. And so considerate and just was he in all his dealings with them that his reputation preceded him from tribe to tribe. Everywhere he was known and welcomed as "the friend of the Indians" and any service they could perform for him was freely given. He lived in their malakos (communal homes), shared in their repasts and festivities, took part in their dances and their hunting expeditions, was a witness of their strange marriage and burial ceremonies, and romped with friends and guests. He had every opportunity to himself with the peculiar manners, customs, traditions, and superstitions of his hosts, for they were ever willing to impart to him all the information in their power and assist him in his ethnographic researches in every way possible. Besides treating them with justice and kindness, he made it a rule never to accept any service, however slight, without making some compensation for it. The remuneration offered might be trifling, but the effect was magical. They were all—men, women and children—at his beck and culinary or night or day. Indians of Curacao, the author declares that they did everything to make his sojourn among them comfortable and pleasant. "For a few glass beads and fishhooks they kept us literally supplied with meat and drink. Fowl of A A "MALOLEA" INDIAN FAMILY HOUSE ON THE RIVER CALVARY-LINES European origin we provided us with in abundance. They themselves eat neither chickens nor eggs." Their malokas or communal houses are quite different from the tepees or wigwams of our North American Indians. They are also, as a rule, much larger and more substantially constructed. Some of them are nearly 100 feet long by 40 or 50 wide and 25 or 30 high. It is ordinarily thatched with the fan-shaped leaves of the Cara palm, and is quite rain-proof. A remarkable feature about the building is that no nails are used in its construction and yet it is strong enough to withstand the strongest tempests of the tropics. Liana vines take the place of nails and bolts; and posts, beams, and rafters are so thoroughly bound together that the building is as safe as it is durable. These communal houses, far from being abodes of films as usually supposed, are models of cleanliness. They are carefully swept every day and are, as the author expresses it, pennilich sauber (painfully clean). The malokas are generally built on elevated ground, so that they may always be above inundations during the rainy season and near a stream of pure water. In front of them is a clear, open space, and near by are clumps of plantain and banana plants and pupuna palms, while in the immediate neighborhood are plantations of manioca and fields of maize. These afford them all the food they need. But besides these sources of food, they usually find an abundance of fish in the rivers and lakes in the forest. The mother looks after the manioca, which is the Indian's staff of life in the equatorial regions of America, while the father procures the game and the fish. "Life in one of these large commercial lodges," we are informed, "is on ordinary days, of dulcific regularity." Long before daybreak its inmates are awake and, from hammock to hammock, carry on an animated conversation in a loud voice. This was often to my disgust, especially when I was awake and late hour the night before, for, with all their charming nursery was impossible. At early dawn, about six o'clock, take a bath in the adjoining river. So there thereafter, women call to the first breakfast. Each one puts in a large earthenware vessel the remnants, warmed over, of the preceding day's meal. This consists of boiled fish, strongly seasoned with pepper, or game, together with a shallow basket of manduca cakes, placed in the middle of the house. The men now leave their hammocks, in which they enclosed themselves after their bath, and squat in a circle around the appetizing repast prepared for them. After eating, each one washes and hands in preparation for the dessert. Large bowls of water, washing and nourishing manduca broth are the main around. The women, so custom requires, eat after the men. Then all betake themselves to their daily occupation—the men to hunting and fishing, the women to their plantations, and peaceful stillness reigns throughout the entire village. Only a few old women remain behind and swing themselves idly in their hammocks. From time to time there come from the river hard by the muffled voices of children who are splashing around in it, or from the top of an adjacent tree is heard the name parrot. Several families come in. Some of the larger ones there are at times as many as a hundred souls. The building is then partitioned off, and each family has its own furniture and heartstead. The larger hall THE APPEAL. AN HOTDOG CHILD IN ITS FANNING CHAIR AN INDIAN CHILD IN ITS HANGING CHAIR. ```markdown ``` in the center of the edifice is used for a general reception room, for dances, and for the entertainment of friends and visitors. The chief or head of this patriarchal community lives, with his family, in an apartment at one end of the malaka. Everything is under his direction, and nothing of importance is undertaken without his consent and advice. Notwithstanding the large number of people living under the same roof, there is the greatest peace and harmony. I have lived for woman at a time" declares our author, "in one of these malakas and never I, under normal conditions, witnessed any disputes or quarrels." It is, however, the moral conditions of the occupants of these communal lodges that impressed him most deeply. "These naked Indians," he asserts, "are as decorous as it is possible for men to be. Their morality is on a high plane, although several families live together in the same room. "The woman plays an important role as the wife and counselor of her husband, but her influence is greatly augmented when she becomes a mother. She then enters upon her proper life work, for the care and bringing up the children and admitted entirely to her unfailling love and devotion. "From the moment of birth until it is able to walk one rarely sees the child without the mother. The two are practically inseparable. The 'baby' here is ever the object of the same tender affection as with us, and the older children, too, are never without their mother's special solicitude. I have seen a mother playing with and entertaining them for hours at a time. "The Indian woman is far from being the stupid beast of burden pictured for us by superficial observers. While the husband devotes his attention to the commonweal, the wife spends her time with the family circle. But along with the chief duties of the family, she assumes the chief rights. Her life is indeed one of toll and fatigue, but she thereby expands her facilities and brings her true nature to its full development. What, however, excited the author's greatest astonishment was their extraordinary honesty. The Ehrhickelt, he tells us, "war infruffend." "I could have left all my trunks remain open and they would have taken nothing. Even pieces of printed paper which I had thrown away and bits of stearin that had dropped from my candle they always carefully placed on my camp stool. Speaking generally, the author does not hesitate to declare, "The property of another is strictly respected. Never will an Indian sell the smallest thing, while in his keeping, which belongs to another without the owner's knowledge and concern and never will he accept payment for another. Regarding the cannibals, against whom he had been warned when he was in Manaos, he assumes us that "they were all as harmless and good-natured as all the other wild Indians with whom he came in contact." Having had such delightful experiences among these simple, kind hearted people, we can well understand that when the day of parting came the author found it difficult to tear himself away from those at whose hands he had for nearly two years received such unvarying kindness, and who had contributed so materially to the success of his expedition. We are well aware that the account Dr. Koch-Grunberg gives of the copper-colored denizens of the South American forests is wholly different from that of most writers. But he is not alone in his favorable estimate of them. Those who know them best, who have spent the longest time using them and have had an opportunity of studying them at close range, will find our author's descriptions and judgments correct as well as sympathetic. But divergent as his experiences are from those of the majority of travelers, they are nevertheless quite in harmony with those we should expect from one who was willing to treat the Indian as a human being and not as a pariah or as a soulless brute. AN INDIAN POTTER AT WORK MAN-EATING TIGERS Inhabitants of Corean-Manchu Border in Constant Terror. Villages Visited Almost Daily by the Beasts and Absolutely Disregard the Efforts of the Poorly Armed Natives to Kill Them. Vladivostock—Travelers from the Korean-Manchu border bring startling tales of the activities of the Siberian tigers in that locality. According to an English writer, who just has returned from an extensive trip in that region, the natives live in a constant state of abject fear for their lives. Some of the villages are visited almost daily by tigers, who, with an absolute disregard of the efforts of the mildly combative natives and the dozen or two small spears and arrows that eventually, porcupine quill fashion, decorate their rough hides, smash in hut doors and proceed to devour everybody in sight. Unable to get within striking distance of live prey these tigers will visit the graveyards, with the natives of the smaller villages, with their primitive arms, being powerless against. big battles are organizing beasts, big battles are organizing Seoul and are sallying forth in an effort to rid the country of the "noxious vermin." Hunting tigers along the Corean-Manche冲 border is not the child's play that trailing similar beasts in India has become. There is none of the difficulty and exasperation of having to deal with a small army of native beaters; for, unlike the jungle tiger of Bengal, who sleeps away the day and pounces by night on his prey at drinking places, the northern beast is at his fullest activity by day. Instead of having to stea', from the security of an elephant howdaw, with a sleepy, surprised creature that cows, alarmed by the beaters, from the path of your ponderous mount, one is out to encounter a thoroughly well-wake brute, ravaging the open countryside; and you are.

Well, fed, well exercised, long, lithe, tawny and glossy, the Siberian tiger A Siberian Tiger, is the finest wild beast aure. The further north one goes the better specimen of tiger one meets, till one comes eventually to the pink of perfection, the super-tiger, on the hinterland of Lvadivostock. He is as physically superior to the Bengal tiger as the wildcat is to the domestic pussy cat. A Bengal tiger—in fact, any sort of tiger in a mild climate—has a thin pelt; it is sufficiently warm for him. But in the cold climate, where there is constant exposure, as in the Osoocroo, to a winter temperature of 20 degrees below zero, the fur becomes thicker than that you may plunge both hands in the water. The Siberian tiger's pelt is worth twice as much, commercially, as that of the Malay branch of the family. A Siberian tigress runs to only about 250 pounds. The biggest Bengal tiger encountered rarely will exceed 400 pounds. The Siberian tiger, however, often runs to 550 pounds and even 600 pounds. Unforgeable Banknotes Paris—It is a remarkable tribute to the 100-franc ($20) banknote issued in 1910 by the Bank of France that the first attempt to forge one of them has only just been reported. The notes are printed on back and front, are complicated and artistic in design, and in four colors—blue, pink, black and yellow. The paper is prepared with the greatest care, and every time a chemical discovery is made likely to hinder the work of a forger it is incorporated in the printing of the banknotes. Since 1889 there have been only six attempts to forge the $20 note, three attempts to forge the 50-franc ($10) note, and one attempt to forge the 1,000-franc ($200) note. The Bank of France, unlike the Bank of England, does not destroy all banknotes when returned, but puts them into circulation several times. It is only after about three years' use that, tattered and torn, they are burned. Taft Is Honored.

RECALLS BUSY CANAL DAYS Quaint Phases of an Old Canal Boatman's Many Unique Experiences Up the Schuylkill Valley. Auburn, Pa.—Boating on the Schuylkill canal continued this winter for a longer period than some of the very oldest canal boatmen can remember. At least this is what Capt. Henry Reppert, a retired boatman, says, and he ought to know, for he served 40 years as a boatman, and cultivated some peculiar traits. He recalls incidents that occurred on the Schuylkill canal when there were 1,200 boats plying between Port Clinton and Philadelphia, and when 3,600 men earned a livell- Capt. Henry Reppert. hood as boatmen, towpath walkers and assistants; while today there are only 38 boats in service on this, one of the few canals in this state still used for freight purposes. Although Capt. Reppert was not then employed as a canal boatman, he easily remembers when, in 1849, the first steam barge called "Experiment," came all the way from Wilmington, Del., through the Delaware river, and thence plied through the waters of the Schuylkill to the coal regions, carrying on the return trip 115 tons of coal. He remembers when the first large steam barge, known in 1852 as the Daniel P. Shenfelder, was built at Reading and carried coal down the Schuylkill into the Union canal, and finally found its course all the way to Albany, N. Y. This boat had a capacity of 152 tons. He also recalls the packet boats that carried passengers from Reading to Philadelphia and return. They left Reading to clock every morning and arrived in Philadelphia, at 6 o'clock in the evening. There was a relay of horses every 10 or 12 miles. The boats were known as the Planet and the Swan. A year later, in 1847, other packet boats were put in service, carrying both freight and passengers. When Capt. Reppert his life as a tow-path trotter, the smaller canal boats were still in use—boats 10 feet wide, 40 feet long and carrying from 25 to 30 tons. SKULL USED FOR PLAYTHING Physician Finds Youngsters Playing With a Fossil Supposed to Be Ten Thousand Years Old. Monticello, N. Y.-While making a professional call at the home of William Woolley here the other day Dr James F. Curlette found the Woolley children playing with the fossil of a human skull which had become petrified. Mr. Woolley said the fossil had come from Goatst Neck, Long Island, and was picked up by him in a stream which flows through his farm there. Skull 10,000 Years Old. At the time of finding the fossil Mr. Woolley considered it nothing more than a stone of unusual form and structure, and took it home to his children, who have called it their Indian doll baby. The features in the fossil are very distinct, the mouth being especially large in proportion to the other features. Dr. Curlea said in discussing the fossil: "This fossil was found in a stream, and the action of the water upon it undoubtedly accounts for the reduced size, and to some extent the defacement of the fossils. "In undying the features remains of this human shell I wondered whether the person upon whose shoulders once rested this head was not killed by a blow of a war club in the hands of some warlike enemy ages ago, for noticed upon the side of the head an indentation as though a blow had been struck there which broke the skull." $2.40 PER YEAR- BODY IS BAROMETER Speculations Regarding Effects of Surroundings Upon Man. German Professor's Paper, Entitled "The Geophysic Phenomena," Has Made Great Stir in European Scientific Circles. Berlin.-Prof. W. Hellpach, of Karlsruhe, has published the results of the first all-round inquiry ever made into the problem: "How far are the brain and temperament of man dependent upon natural surroundings?" His report, entitled "The Geophysic Phenomena," has made a great stir in scientific circles, owing to the bold theses of the professor, who depicts humanity as a mere vitalized barometer, which reacts incessantly to the stimulus of external forces, but has little independent control over its own movements. Landscape, says Hellpach, is of infinitely greater importance than climate in forming national character. The idea that climate is more important is a delusion. "In the United States the fantastic mountain world of the great west will in time create a different and much more imaginative race than that which exists in the level cast and south. At present America's population is too much in a state of flux to allow of this difference being determined, but the change is going on." America will thus in the future have two populations of entirely geophysical incelical inclinations and characteristics. Professor Hellpach gives a whole series of facts to show man in his capacity as barometer. His activities depend upon weather fluctuations. Prof. W. Hellpach. There live peculiarly sensitive "Wettermenschen" (weather men), whose whole nervous system is affected by thunderstorms. On these tea, coffee and tobacco, taken during a thunderstorm, act with extraordinary force, and the most mortal dose of alcohol, which in clear weather would have no effect, produces violent agitation, and even temporary paralysis. A second type of weather man is the "snow man," well known to nerve specialists. Shortly before a snowfall their eating, feeding and sleeping are entirely deranged; and they are thus able to predict a snowfall more surely than can a meteorologist with all his knowledge. "Snow men" are racer than "thunderstorms" and quickly recover from the weather effects, and even feel better than they did before. In addition to weather, man reacts to an enormous number of external stimuli, some of which are far off, intangible and even concealed from the senses. Light has precisely the same attractive effect on man as it has on insects. The word "moonstruck" is not a figure of speech, but a reality. Moonlight has a marked effect upon man's senses, the change of somnambulism. The change of moon produce precise organic effects upon certain lower animals, and man is also liable to be moonstruck. Water, though, at a distance and invisible, affects the nervous system and makes some men conscious of its effects. Hence the "divinring-oil" is a reality. The underground water really does cause nervous twitchings of the water-seeker's hands, and this sets the rod oscillating. In the same way diviners of hidden coal, ore and other mineral treasures are quite honest. "It is established that there exist sensitive men, whose psychical condition the composition of the soil understimulates through this composition they have in their knowledge." And even astrology has a basis of truth. The changes of the earth in its relation to the constellations involve changes of gravitation "which causes nervous disturbances and thus operate on the brain." In a scientific sense no man is therefore independent of the stars and planets.

To what contemptible depths does the hellish prejudice of some white men lead them! It is understood that the executive committee of the American Bar Association has decided to oust Hon. William H. Lewis, Assistant Attorney General of the United States, from membership in the bar association. It is claimed by members of the committee that they did not know that Mr. Lewis was an Afro-American when he was elected, all of which is a misstatement of facts. The action of the committee has aroused Attorney General Wickersham and he has sent a spirited letter to each of the 4,700 members of the association, charging the executive committee with an arrogance of power unwarranted by the body's constitution in order to gratify a race prejudice entertained by some of its members. The constitution of the association has no provision upon which to base such discrimination. All honor to Attorney General Wickersham! As so many hundreds of thousands of supposedly "pure-blooded white men" really have Negro blood in their com- 14 Chicago's Famous Agro-American Physician and Surgeon. The First Surgeon to Sew Up a Wound in a Human Heart—Great Success position, it is not unreasonable to presume that at least several scores of the 4,700 are so "tainted," and that THE MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE WHO OBJECTED ARE IN THAT NUMBER. Stranger things than that are in existence to our knowledge. AN EAST INDIAN "GOOD NIGGER," An East ndian by the name of Bustonje, or Tombigbee, or something of the sort, is in the United States denouncing the courageous East Indians who are fighting for their rights as men against the aggressions of the British. Evidently Bustonje is a paid emissary of the British government, or of some organization which has for its object the crushing out of the liberty of the masses of the East ndians. It is a strange fact that every race produces a class of men who are willing to belittle their own people for the smiles or cash of the oppressor. We have hundreds of the "good nigger" class here in the United States, who glory in doing all they can to injure the Afro-American people, provided they can get a jimcrow office in some alleged Christian organization or the cash of the white man. Many would sell their souls to have some cheap Caucasian refer to them as "good niggers." --- It has been more or less asserted by scientists and others that both Adam and Jesus Christ were not white, which, of course, is easy to believe, when one thinks of the fact that even at the present time only about one eight of the population of the world is white. But now comes a Theosophist, D. S. M. Unger of Chicago, who declares he knows for a fact that Christ is coming back to earth within the next twenty years. Says Mr. Unger: "Whenever a nation or the world really needs a great leader, he turns up. The world is sadly in need of a great religious leader these days and so I know Christ is coming back within the next twenty years. And, in order that humanity may have no trouble in being certain of the presence of Christ, he will have a brown body." Well, if Christ returns to this earth brown in color, there are people in the United States who will not accept him. A SENSIBLE MOVE. The Baptist clergymen of Chicago will hereafter be addressed as "Mister" or "Pastor," according to a resolution adopted at a meeting of the Baptist ministers. Rev. Thomas, who introduced the resolution, said that the idea of addressing ministers of the gospel as doctors, reverends and such titles is obnoxious. That's good sense and the movement should be made to include "Professor," "M. D," "Ph. D," "L. L. D" when the degrees have been conferred upon some blatherskite who has little more than a primary education and manages to try the hardest to teach (?) some country cross roads school or preach (?) in some little 2x4 church. And while they are at it, why not abolish the extra long black coat and the fake saintly mien? J. E. B. Cunningham, deputy attorney general of Pennsylvania, in asking for a change of venue in the case; of seven defendants yet to be tried on murder charges growing out of the lynching of Zach Walker near Coatsville, Pa., last August, declared that "there is a deep-seated purpose on the part of Chester county not to convict a white man for the murder of a Negro." We have been taught to believe that Justice is blind; and, that for one human being, with malice aforethought, to kill another is murder, no matter what the color of the slayer or the slain; and for the people of a whole county to have it un- derstood that they will deliberately violate their oaths in a court of justice (?) does not argue well for the moral status of those people. There is no question that a change of venue should be granted in this case. Any old excuse will do so that the inhuman southerners may indulge in their most delightful pastime of lynching Afro-Americans. On last Tuesday, near Marshall, Tex., George Sanders and Mary Jackson were taken from their home and hanged by a mob of unidentified (?) brutes in human form because they "had lived in the same rouse with Tennie Sneed" who shot and killed Paul Strange, a white man, January 29. They used to claim they seldom resorted to lynching except for assaults or alleged assaults upon white women, but now any sort of excuse will do. It seems strange that these "superior race" people are so heartless. If God is just, and we believe He is, they are heaping up wrath against the day of wrath. "Vengeance is mine, I will repay saith the Lord." The "Grizzly Bear" and the "Turkey Trot." a couple of new dances of the "superior race," seem not only to be immodest, but actually very dangerous propositions, according to recent reports. A man in La Crosse, Wis., after doing the "Grizzly" for the edification of some of his friends, died from over-exertion. But he was 52 years old and ought to have known better. "No fool like an old fool." And, now comes a man in Washington who had to have his appendix removed on account of excessive dancing of the "Turkey Trot." He was a man of nerve, too, for he had the operation performed without taking an anaesthetic. Well, it takes men with nerve to do the "Turkey Trot." "IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE." That it pays to advertise in newspapers and that the bigger the advertisement the better the result, are twin conclusions drawn by the Rev. George Macadam, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church, Joliet, Ill., after thus exploiting his services. The minister advertised his sermon for last Sunday in a local newspaper, taking space larger than the space taken by the theater management in advertising theatrical attractions on that day. His crowd was larger than those at the play. He will keep up the publicity campaign. And a great many others would do well to get wise to the fact that it pays to advertise. The white people of this country are having great times over the alleged indecency of some of their recently inaugurated dances, know as the "Turkey Trot," the "Grizzly Bear," "Bunny Hug," etc, and their papers are exploiting them in great shape. Now comes a new one, the "Wiggle Wiggle," which must be awful, since it caused eight detectives to blush when they saw it danced in a restaurant a few nights ago. The Afro-American, who is generally believed to be an imitator of the white man's vices rather than virtues, hasn't caught onto these objectionable dances yet. Universal suffrage for the citizens of the District of Columbia was proposed in a bill introduced in Congress by Representative Berger of Wisconsin. The people of the District were disfranchised many years ago because of the large population of intelligent Afro-Americans, the white people being willing to deprive themselves of the right to vote, provided the colored brother did not exercise the privilege. Just think of it! There were 148 murders committed in New York City last year, but only the unlucky number 13 of the murders were convicted, and not one executed. Is it strange that murder is committed so often upon the slightest pretext? WASHINGTON GOSSIP 18,000 Miles of Postage Stamps a Year 18,000 Miles of Postage Stamps a Year THEY MUST DO A LOT OF LETTER WRITING ON MOTHER EARTH WASHINGTON.—If all the postage stamps issued by the United States government during the last fiscal year were collected and laid end to end they would form a chain over 18,000 miles long, stretching three-fourths around the world, or from New York to the Philippines and back. The number was 10,061,439,768, with a representing face value of $180,957,385. Of the whole number 5,130,249,018 were two-cent stamps and 3,798,961,039 were one-cent. Only one thirty-cent stamp was issued. The American postage stamp is now serving its sixty-sixth year, the first issue having been placed on sale July 1, 1847; the total issued during that year was $60,380. Prepayment of postage did not become compulsory until 1856. The postage stamps of the current issue have given considerable trouble to the public and to the postal service on account of the similarity of the designs of the different denominations. All of the eleven denominations in use are of identical design, except that the one-cent bears the head of Franklin and the others the head of Washington. There are not a sufficient number of distinctive colors for all the stamps, making it necessary in the case of those above the six-cent to use different shades of the colors used How Adee Turned the Joke on Himself ASSISTANT Secretary of State Alvey A. Adee is one of the men in the government service who are said to be indispensable. He is a walking encyclopedia on matters diplomatic and can handle the most intricate affair of state with the confidence born of long and faithful service. His predecessor in his line of work held office for more than a generation and was such a public official as Mr. Adee. One of Mr. Adee's chief characteristics is his tremendous fund of good nature and stories concerning his official actions never grow old. One of the best stories told of him was a joke on the secretary himself which he never relished, although his intimate friends say he has privately admitted the humor of the situation. When Mr. Adee gets down to serious work he does not like to be interrupted and at one stage in his official service he found interruptions so numerous he hit upon the scheme of putting a special lock upon the door of his office, the working of which he himself could control. One day he dismissed his secretary and messenger, carefully locked the door and got down to business. In the course of the morning he wanted his messenger and rang the usual bell to call him. The messenger Poundings and kears tary's door broug fears began to groun ously ill. In the office force had the its hinges and M sitting at his cail nant that his cail swered. The sec was that Mr. Adee the new lock and his hearing had re answering the his door. Was Not the First to Wear a Uniform WHAT IS THE USE OF BEING A DIPLOMAT IF YOU CAN'T WEAR A UNIFORM—ONE LOOKS MORE DIGNIFIED— THE accounts of Ambassador Leishman's resplendent court costume of navy blue with gold braid created very little str in Washington. Public men have ceased to have the old-fashioned interest in the government's representatives abroad. Few even keep in mind the names of the constantly shifting procession of diplomats, and it is only when an international affair of some proportions arises that the average senator or congressman takes the trouble to recall what particular individual represents the United States at any particular court. There was here and there a man who had something to say of the incident. The many, however, neither knew Mr. Leishman nor cared how he might choose to dress at a court function. But at the state department, where Mr. Leishman is known, and it is the daily business of everybody to Young Congressman's Dates Were Mixed A STRANGER entered the office of Representative William S. Reyburn of Philadelphia, who broke a lot of youngest congressman records by landing in the lower house last spring at the age of twenty-eight. The visitor wore a highly polished black frock coat, talked with a Bostonese' accent and looked as if he might be a professor of botany. It seemed that he belonged to some society for psychological research and Reyburn's case had appealed to him. He introduced himself and then began to ploy the congressman with questions. "You knew your multiplication table by the time you were a year and a half old, I presume?" he suggested. "Oh, certainly!" said Reyburn, deeming it wise to humor the fellow and avoid a scene. "And at what age had you mastered Latin grammar?" pursued the investigator. "Five years perhaps?" "Somewhere around there," nodded Reyburn. "And as you grew older," went on the visitor, "that is, when you got to be nine or ten years of age, which of your college studies appealed to you most!" At first the man's talk had been merely funny, but now it looked seri- in the lower denominations. Thus the one-cent and the eight-cent are different shades of green; the three-cent and fifty-cent different shades of purple; the five-cent and the fifteen-cent different shades of blue. In the rapid handling of mail matter one denomination is very apt to be mistaken for another, especially under artificial light. The first six stamps are of sufficiently contrasting colors. The department is now arranging to print the remaining five with different border designs. Further, the first six will bear the head of Washington, while the remaining five will bear the head of Franklin. The one-cent and two-cent stamps will also be altered to express the denomination in numerals instead of in words, thus making them conform to the other stamps of the series. Thus they will show the head of the first president on the first six denominations and that of the first postmaster general, with a different border design, on the last five. The new designs will be issued within the current fiscal year. The growth of the domestic money order system has been tremendous. In 1865, when it was first put in operation, there were but 419 money order offices in this country; today there are 51,809, and they issued last year 990,747,557 domestic money orders, having a value of $8,373,578,789. There were 4,500,700 paid registrations at the New York city postoffice during the last fiscal year, an increase of nearly three per cent. over the previous year. Chicago, New York's nearest competitor, showed but 2,115,085 registrations. There were 1,043,430 letters and parcels sent by registered mail during the year, representing a value of $3,002,715,452. knocked at the door and received no response. When the bell rang a second time he called upon Mr. Adee's secretary to witness the fact that he had knocked again for entrance, but had not been received. After one or two rings on the messenger call, which sounded like a small-sized fire alarm, Mr. Adee placed his finger on the button and kept it there. The result was consternation all over the state department. Poundings and kicks on the secretary's door brought no response and fears began to grow that he was seriably ill. In the end the combined office force had to break the door of its hinges and Mr. Adee was found sitting at his desk, angry and indignant that his calls had not been answered. The secret of the situation was that Mr. Adee had forgotten about the new lock and an impairment of his hearing had prevented him from answering the repeated knocking at his door. know diplomats and be interested in everything they may chance to be doing, there was no surprise at the navy blue shade of the Leishman uniform, and the gold braid caused no shudders to run down any official spine for fear that the ambassador would be recalled by his government or censured by a resolution by congress. On all sides officials were fortified with precedents for wearing various sorts of clothes at state functions abroad. Mr. Brecknidge, who, in Arkansas, wore housepunts trousers, put on white silk stockings and knee breeches at the coronation of the czar and got along very well at that except for the snickering of the ladies at the attenuated condition of the ministerial calves. Theodore Runyan, who at one time held some sort of a commission in the New Jersey militia that gave warrant for a uniform, served his country as minister to Germany during the last Cleveland administration, and put that old militia uniform on and wore it to a court reception with great success. Nobody there could tell whether he had been in a tin brigade in New Jersey or the real thing scalping Indians on the plains of Chicago. AND AN WHAT ARE DID YOU MASTER LATIN? ous and Reyburn became nervous. There was no telling at what moment the visitor might become violent. "Say, what are you getting at?" asked Reyburn, fingeting in his chair. "Why, naturally your case interested me, and many other earnest students of psychology," replied the visitor, quietly. "Any young man who could finish college at the age of twelve seemed to us—" "Hold on there!!" exclaimed Reyburn. "Way-tay-minute! Who was it told you such bughouse stuff that I finished college at the age of twelve?" "Why, I saw it in your biography in the "Congressional Directory." Reyburn seized the directory on his desk and turned to the page where it says he was born in 1838 and was graduated from Yale in 1894. It was the first time his attention had been called to the misprint. The latter date should have read 1904. Knowles Building. Boys' Hall. Stone Hall. Girls' Hall. Model Home. ATLANTA UNIVERSITY.

Mayo, 642 Rondo street, Tuesday evening with quite a crowd present, and, besides transacting a lot of routine business, had a splendid time. There was no set program, but considerable event was furnished by Mesdames C. P. Mayo; Mrs. Mayo and C. Jones; Mr. C. H. Miller and O. C. Mayo; Mr. Harry Brown at the piano. Mrs. Mayo proved to be a very charming hostess. Miss 'Sworth Newman, the charming and talented dramatic reader of Kaukauna. Wis., arrived in the city Wednesday and was the guest of Mrs. J. E. Johnson, 526 St. Anthony Av. Wednesday evening an informal reception in her honor was tendered to her by the "Sunshine Class" of St. James' A. M. E. Sunday school at Mrs. Johnson's handsome and spacious residence, which was a most pleasant affair. The reception committee was composed of Mesdames J. E. Johnson, Orri C. Hall, J. Q. Adams, W. T. Francis, G. W. James, Valdo Turner, H. C. Booker, J. H. Charleston; Misses Edythe Leonard and Adina Adams. Dainty refreshments were served. 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. The Afro-American Democrats of Ramsey县 hold a very enthusiastic meeting at the office of the Valet Tailoring Co., 154 East Sixth street, last Monday evening and formed a local club to work under the auspices of the national organization, of which Bishop Alexander Walters is president. Mr. R. M. Johnson presided, and they effected a permanent organization, with Owen Howell as chairman; Ivin Welborne, vice chairman; A. Worden Haynes, corresponding secretary; O. C. Hall, financial secretary, and N. C. Campbell; treasurer. A local executive campaign committee will be appointed by Chairman Howell, to consist of two members from each ward. A member of the national committee will also be appointed. J. Alex Ross, of Buffalo, N. Y., vice chairman of the national committee, was present and assisted very materially in the organization. The club has arranged to hold its first grand rally at Elks Hall, 126 East Third street, next Monday evening at 8 o'clock sharp, to which everybody is cordially invited.

Miss Mildred Plummer, who, though twenty years old, has only had the opportunity of celebrating three birthday anniversaries before, celebrated her fourth on last Thursday evening. She was born on the 29th of February, and although 1900 was divisible by 4, it was not a Leap Year. A lot of the young folks of the Twin Cities had a great time celebrating with her Thursday evening. Mrs. Zelia Reynolds has moved her dressmaking parliors to 465 Sherburne avenue. 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. Miss 'Sworth Newman's Recital The recital given by Miss 'Sworth Newman, the accomplished and talented dramatic reader, under the auspices of the "Sunshe Class" of St. James' A. M. E. Sunday school, at St. James' church, Thursday evening, was one of the most delightful and high-class entertainments St. Paul was not in a long time. The audience was not so loud as it was in quality what it lacked in quantity as was shown by the rapturous applause that followed each number by the critical audience that was enraptured with the charming young reader. Musical numbers were furnished by Mr. Robert Strong on piano and organ, and violin solos by Mr. David Johnson, with Prof. James Johnson at the piano. The reading of Miss Newman was a pleasurable surprise to her auditors, who seldom, if ever, listened to a more artistic rendition of such difficult numbers, including sketches from "Les Miserables," by Victor Hugo; "Hiawatha," by Longfellow; "The Mission Box that Scandalized the Village," by Francis Greenman; "The Battle is the Lord's," by Ada M. Shaw; "Midnight Memory," by Charles J. Jenkins, "Grandma's Diary" "Pa Never Does" and "Rest." Miss Newman's selections covered a wide range of human emotions which were truthfully portrayed and most artistically rendered in the sweet and modulated voice which is not the least of Miss Newman's God-given attractions. Noting but words of commendation and delight were heard at the close of the program. There are several excellent readers in the Twin Cities who have often delighted audiences, but the reading of Miss Newman was all the more pleasing because it was of a different caliber from that usually her, she having a style peculiarly her own. All of her selections were fine, but if any one, more than the other, deserves special mention, it was in her interpretations of the character and human emotions of Jean Val Jean in "Les Miserables," and of this not better criticism could be made than that of Mrs. Samuel Plantz, wife of the president of Lawrence college, whose Newman studied. Mrs. Plantz says: "Her realization of the Victor Hugo spirit was remarkable. Miss Newman's stage presence is charming, her voice clear and melodious, and she has the natural dramatic talent that keeps her from over-acting a part. She feels, for the time, the emotions of her character and the hearer sees the good Bishop and feels his beneficent spirit and enters in the soul struggle, and final victory of Jean Val Jean. Miss Newman will entertain an audience and will feel feeling and nobler living. There is no better way to study literature than to hear a gifted, well trained reader interpret the meaning of the author." An opportunity was given to the audience to meet Miss Newman in the church parlors, where refreshments were served and many availed themselves of the privilege. Miss Newman left for Minneapolis after the rectal, carrying with her the best wishes of all who met her. Arrangements are in progress looking toward a return engagement of Miss Newman in the near future, when it is hoped no one will lose the opportunity to hear this charming and talented young woman.

Newly Discovered Underground Workings Built by Order of Cardinal Wolsey Are Found to Be in Perfect Condition. That the Tudors were the best plumbers in the world is attested by the fact that a tunnel built four centuries ago by Cardinal Wolsey and through which water was conveyed from a spring by means of lead pipes is still in existence. It is not only in existence, but is in practically as good condition as when it was first constructed. What good building this means may be understood when it is noted that directly over the tunnel huge trees are growing—one of them with at least five tons of timber in it—but neither their roots nor their weight have made any impression at all upon its walls. Not so eternal have been the means whereby Wolsey had the water conveyed from Kingston hill to Hampton court. After it had made its way through a succession of wells and reservoirs, which still retain the old lead and stone, the water was taken down the hill in broad lead pipes and so on to Hampton. But, alas! it could not be protected from rapacious hands after it had served the great cardinal's purpose, for lead has a value for other and more harmful things than the conveyance of spring water. So as soon as Hampton court ceased to depend for its drinking water upon the cardinal's spring people began to lay sacrilegious hands on the pipes. A considerable amount of the lead was, it is believed, melted down for ammunition during the civil war. The rest has been pilfered from time to time for various purposes, and some of it is said even now to be lying at the bottom of the Thames. Both the old buildings* and the spring itself are still almost as they Tunnel Constructed 400 years ago were when the cardinal had completed his work of carrying the water in leaden pipes all the way from the top of Kingston hill to his new home. Hitherto few people save the personal friends of the present owner have known of the existence of these remnants of the great man's enterprise, but a wonderful glimpse into the past is to be obtained by any one privileged to open the fastshut door of the tunnel and descend into the subterranean wonderland. Lacked His Trick Bible New York—How he fooled a jury, and won his freedom with the aid of a Bible was told by George McAllister, eighteen years old, in general sessions, where he was arraigned before Judge Rosalys for the second time in three months on the charge of burglary. McAllister was tried last September, and as he ascended the witness stand in his own defense at that time he took a Bible from his pocket and asked that he might be sworn upon it, and not upon the court Bible, "Because it was given to me by mother, and she lived up to what it contains," he explained. McAllister denied the charge of burglary, and the jury acquitted him. When McAllister again was arraigned, Assistant District Attorney Delehanty recognized him and asked: "Got your Bible with you today?" "Nope," replied McAllister. "They got me right this time. I plead guilty." He was remanded for sentence. Yale Gets Three-Eved Reptile Yale Gets Three-Eyed Reptile. New Haven, Conn.—Henry D. Baker, Yale, 1896, American consul in Hobart, Tasmania, who already has sent several collections to the Yale university museum, has added another collection of birds and reptiles almost entirely extinct on the globe. The collection was gathered in New Zealand. It includes a specimen of a wingless bird called the kwl and of a reptile of the lizard type called a tuatara, remarkable as having a rudimentary third eye. The museum soon is to mount a part of a dinosaur discovered by Prof. O. C. Marsh, and representing a reptile, which in life was probably 100 feet long. The fossil is much larger than corresponding parts of a dinosaur already partly mounted, which was sixty-seven feet long. Dog Commits Suicide. Chester, Pa.-Charles Crystle of Wallingford avers that his seventeen-year-old hunting dog Sandy committed suicide. He says he gave the dog his supper about seven o'clock the other night, and shortly afterwards became so sick that Crystle decided to shoot him. As he leveled a gun at the animal, Crystle asserts, the aged beast ran from him and jumped into a nearby brook, dashed his head against rocks several times, glanced at his owner, then sank from view. Stared Her in the Face. Chicago.—"That waist just seemed to stare up at me from the counter and beg me to take it along." This was the only explanation given the police by Mrs. Emma Drolette, when arrested for shooflifting.

A considerable amouut of the lead was, {cfs believed, melted down for am munition during the civil war. ‘The rest has been pilfered from time to time for various purposes, and some of it ix sald even now to be lying at the bottom of the Thames, Hoth tke old bulldings * and the spring itself are still almost as they OE. _ ace UR: Foe a CEN Le “ESV eee er Bg Sie U's Se egy ge yee ee oT ‘jena a Be ei at Ce eae 2 a, sage bs ie Be pee ae ee 3) cee) Ba 2 ae = aoa Bes ez ee <> C2 aerate pe F Rec ec eee BesPieie sates Gen eS BES ea aS 53 ee te es = 8 GPT ON LEG EIU a3 ‘Tunnel Constructed 400 years Aga ‘were when the cardinal had complet- ed his work of carrying the water in leaden pipes all the way from the top ot Kingston hill to his new home.

Baker, Yale, 1896, American consul in Hobart, ‘Tasmania, who already has sent sev- eral collections to the Yale university museura, has added another collection of birds an reptiles almost entirely extinct on the globe. The collection was gathered in New Zealand. It in- cludes a specimen of a wingless bird called the kiwi and of a reptile of the lizard type called a tuatara, remark- able as having a rudimentary third eye. ‘The museum soon is to mount a part of a dinosaur discovered by Prof. 0. C. Marsh, and representing reptile, which in life was probably 100 feet long. The fossil is much larger than corresponding parts of a dino- saur already partly mounted, which was sixty-seven feet long. Dog Commits Sulcide.
