In practically every city hosts of veterans of the Civil War will gather and hold reunions to speak of the past, the anger and passion deadened by the lapse of time, while at ten national homes more than 20,000 men will usher in the day thankful that the United States, of all nations, is a republic that is not ungrateful for services performed under its flag. The military wars notably the Civil and Spanish-American, who went through The veterans of the various wars Civil and Spanish-American, who of the various wars, notably the English-American, who went through VETERANS HOLDING PERMORAL SERVICE the conflicts unscathed are constantly in mind. There are the Grand Army of the Republic, Loyal Legion and Army and Navy Union, splendid organizations to which many of the officers and men who fought in the Civil War belong, while the veteran association of the Spanish-American War holds the membership of many who went through that struggle. In the national cemeteries here and there, and in other burial grounds, are stones that mark the spots where lie the remains of those who participated in the conflicts, and each succeeding Decoration Day their memory is kept alive. by the floral offerings strewn upon their graves.

"Pensions are well enough in their way, but pensions are not sufficient," declared Congress. "We must do more," continued the members of the House and Senate, "we must establish a home for those who have no home." The sentiment crystallized into what is now one of the most important features with which the nation deals. The National Home for disabled volunteer soldiers is located in the District of Columbia. There are branches of the National Home at Dayton, O.; Milwaukee, Wis.; Togus, Me.; Hampton, Va.; Leavenworth, Kan.; Santa Monica, Cal.; Marion, Ind.; Danville, Ill.; Johnson City, Tenn., and Hot Springs, S. D. There are state homes for disabled volunteer soldiers provided by the states of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming. Some of the idea of the federal government may be had from the last report of the board of managers, in the acreage of the homes is set down as 5,369, valued at $483,474.85. On this land are buildings aggregating a value of $10,513,648.42. To acquire this land, it must be to the bounds of soldiers, the total outlay up to the close of 1911 has been in the neighborhood of $80,000,000. When the first home was established, within the year, there were 910 veterans cared for. Then each succeeding year increased at the rate of almost 1,000 per year until, in 1908, the greatest number, 34,949, were taken care of. At the same time the death rate among the veterans increased by year, and by 10.95 per 1,000, in 1867, it has advanced to 85.60 per 1,000. Yet, when one takes into consideration the physical condition of soldiers when admitted to the homes, and that it has been 47 years since the Civil War, the death rate is really low, for the average life of the old soldiers has been a trifle more than a ripe age for the majority of them. Indeed, this alone is a most notorious to the government for its excellent care of its wards. To visit one of these national homes is to have a treat, for nowhere will one find a more happy or contented set of men. Except for the difference in location and style of architecture of the O IMPOWING GREETWAY TO THE FIREFIGHTER'S HOUSE TRIPPING GARDENING THE GARDENER'S HOME THE APPEAL. for on's s orris NATIONAL SOLDIERS HOME NEAR WASHINGTON buildings, all of the homes are similar, for they are operated on the plan of giving one and all the same. Some of the homes, like the one at Hampton, Va., are situated upon the banks of a stream, but then there is one in the mountains, another in the land of continual sunshine and flowers, California, while each possesses some natural characteristic to differ it from the other. Another is the commercial side of the homes, for it is the comforts and conveniences afforded the inmates that draws the attention of visitors and sends them away filled with thoughts of kindness and proud of being citizens of a nation that is so lavish in its care of those who have upheld the honor of the flag in the face of the enemy. Amid parklike surroundings are the buildings, flanked with broad porches, on which are the settees, where, basking in the sun, may be found those old soldiers who are more content to repose with pipe and paper than to join their comrade beneath the trees or strolling around the grounds. First, and all important, is the military side of the home. Each inmate is always in uniform and army discipline prevails. All able-bodied men on the grounds salute their superior officers as they pass, and there are stated times for doing stated things, so that there must be absolute order. At 5:30 in summer and 5:45 in winter the men turn out. After breakfast the men return to their barracks, make up their beds and put their things in order. Then, unless assigned to duty as room orderly or on guard mount, at which all the men are stationed, the soldier is at liberty until tattoo at 8:30, when he must be on hand to retire when taps are sounded at 9. While at liberty during the day the soldier may leave the grounds by applying to a pass. He may secure a pass to remain outside the grounds not only for a day, but even for 90 days, if he no desires and his behavior has been good. There is but little restraint upon the men and they are practically as free as though they lived in their own homes. The soldier who prefer to remain within the grounds of the home there is much with which to drive away either discontent or ennul. Besides splendid libraries, where may be found not only books and magazines, but dally papers from different parts of the country, there is at each home an amusement hall where there are billiard and pool tables and many small tables for cards, checkers and dominoes. Another diversion is the band concert each afternoon. Another amusement, and an important one, is the theater. Each of the homes is equipped with a hall large enough to seat prac- tioners and at the end is a stage of generous size. The companies playing in nearby cities are engaged to give a "one-night stand" at the hall and the performance usually proves a great treat. In the seating of the veterans there is system exercised, for the deaf and the dim-ered are stu- RAISING THE FLAG ON MEMORIAL DAY en the first rows, then follow those less afflicted, so that all are given equal advantages as far as it is possible to arrange. In the vast amount of work to be done at the homes the inmates take their part and thereby earn a little extra for themselves, for the gov- ernment pays them according to what they can do. Some of the homes have farms attached on which the men do considerable of the work. At other homes the men look after grounds, while at all of the homes there are those who act as guards or guides. In the vast amount of work to be done at the homes the inmates take their part and thereby earn a little extra for themselves, for the government pays them according to what they can do. Some of the homes have farms attached on which the men do considerable of the work. At other homes the men look after grounds, while at all of the homes there are those who act as guards or give orders. The money they receive for their work is all extra, for they receive their pensions just the same, and they are at liberty to either spend their funds for luxuries at the commissary or send checks to their relatives. One great trouble that the commandants of the various homes have had has been the control of the soldiers who persist in patronizing the saloons that are to be found just beyond the doors by vigilance, the old men are kept from getting into any trouble. When a soldier is stricken with illness he is sent to the hospital, where every possible attention is given him. His diet is specially prepared to suit his needs and there is nothing too good for him. It might be added that the hospital is always well occupied, for there are many who are failing in health and strength and consistently waiting the setting of the sun. When the last day has come and the soldier has gone to join his com- rades on the other side his body is borne to the chapel, a minister of his religion says the last rites over him and then, in a casket borne upon a calsson and escorted by a squad of men under arms, accompanied by a fife and drum corps playing a dirge, he is given full military honors, including the rattle of muskets over his grave. The cemeteries by the homes are growing each year with the men who are buried to a brave heart who gave his best years in order that the nation might endure. The Day of Memories Memorial customs, introduced at the close of the Civil war, in compliance with plans made by Commander-in-Chief John A. Logan, will be obeyed in the cities, villages, and hamlets, the surviving veterans still taking a leading part in the exercises. Memorial customs, introduced at the close of the Civil war, in compliance with plans made by Commander-in-Chief John A. Logan, will be observed this year in thousands of cities, villages and hamlets, the surviving veterans still taking a leading part in the exercises. It is they who have made the arrangements for the ceremonies; they will go early to the cemeteries and place blossoms upon the graves of their brother soldiers; they will constitute a pathetic and inspiring feature of the parade. Some day they will not be here to plan and execute the day. Some day they all will have gone into camp and planted in the cities of the dead. Some day they will gravel public will look in vain for any of the parade. Then, what? Will the day and its beauty, patricial customs that were so dear to them, cease to be remembered and observed? Were that question submitted to the people today it is certain that the votes against remembrance and observance would be too few for enumeration. The soldiers have led the way; they have shown the people how to plan and execute for a successful observance of the day. There have been not a few but thousands of deeply interested participants. All of the patriotic societies that have grown out of the Civil war are among them, and their members are numbered by the tens of thousands. Then there are the societies which have been involved as a result of the revolutionary war, the war of 1812, the war with Mexico, the Spanish-American war and the Philippine insurrection. And these are not all. Millions of men and women who have come from the same and other, millions of boys and girls now in the schools, would forbid a suspension of Memorial day observances. Some day they will not be here to plan and execute for Memorial day. Some day they all will have gone into camp on the plains and in the cities of the dead. Some day a grateful衬衫 will look in vain for any of them in the parade. Then what? Will we so dear to these to be remembered and observed?

Taking Their Measure. "Do these people who moved into the flat across the hall seem to be desirable neighbors?" asked the man. "No," replied the woman. "I watched everything that came out of the moving van. They haven’t a thing that we would care to borrow." Defective Page PLAN_AIR ROUTE PLAN_AIR ROUTE Prince Suggests Peking-Parts Line, and It Is Adopted. Journey of Aeronauts Will Be Made Parly Over Great Desert of Gobi —Stations Will Be Laid Along the Trans-Siberian. Paris—After taking the advice of leading experts on climatic and other conditions likely to affect the Peking-Paris air race, Prince Borghese being among those consulted, a meeting was held at the offices of Le Matin recently, at which the first definite official program was drawn up. The scheme submitted by Prince Borghese has been adopted. It has been settled that the race shall begin next September, at about the beginning of the month, when according to the data received from the weather bureau of Russia, the Siberian rainy season is well over, not only along the Trans-Siberian, but in China, and when other weather conditions are also favorable. The suggestion of Prince Borghese that the Great Desert of Gobi be traversed, the route being Peking to Kalgan, Tuerin, Urga, Kakhta and Lake Balkal, was adopted, as not only offering the best means of arriving at Siberia, but as being admirably suited for landings. Other reasons are that it is frequented by caravans and that the route gives an ideal indication of the route. The rest of the journey will be made by way of Irkutsk, Omsk, Kazan, Moscow, Warsaw, Vienna, Triest, Genoa, Avignon and Lyons, as already announced in these columns. Stocks of petrol and spare parts are to be spread along the Trans-Siberian, also across the Gobi desert at short distances, while the food question meets its solution by the fact that the route follows railway stations and inhabited districts throughout. Each entrant will be required to pay a deposit of $1,000, which will be redeemed to make the proper start from Pekkan, or forcibly, be added to the amount of the deposit. In an interview Prince Borghese stated that, in his opinion, the Gobi desert presented the only practical 10 In Modern Peking. means for the airmen to reach Lake Balkai, as the Mukden-Harbin route taken by the railroad involves surmounting the high Khingan chain of mountains as well as over 400 miles of mountainous country just before reaching the lake. Names continue to be sent in for the race, among the latest being those of two young French pilots, who, although they have only recently obtained their diplomas, are confident of success. Mineola, L. I—Mrs. May Miller, housekeeper for George Wintjen, taught his pet colle to jump and setse dainties on her shoulder. Last year the dog jumped on the shoulder of Miss Minnie Stockton, a laudress who lived across the street, and, finding no dainties there bit her on the shoulder, forearm and knee, so that she could not leave her bed for four months. She was awarded $1,000 damages from Wintjen. Springfield, Mass—Rev. William O. Peterson, seventy-nine years old, has been taken to the almshouse.

Will Be Impregnable When Completed. Washington. — By midsummer or early fall it is expected that the work of constructing the approaches to Pearl Harbor will be completed and then the United States will have in the Pacific a national defense as important and as impregnable as that of Great Britain at Gibraltar, says the Christian Science Monitor. When completed the work will have cost about $10,000,000. The channel leading into the harbor has already been cut to a depth of thirty feet below how tide and will thus pass some of the cruisers of the Pacific station. But the cutting is to Native Dwelling in the Interior. continue until there will be enough water to float the greatest of the dreadnoughts. Pearl Harbor is to be the most strongly fortified naval base in the Pacific, if not in the world. The harbor is landlocked and is distant from Honolulu twelve miles. When the channels to the east, the middle and the west locks have been dredged, the harbor will be large enough to float the combined navies of the world. The construction has been under way for years, and it was hastened materially after the Spanish war, and the occupation by the United States of the Philippine Islands. Hidden forts and disappearing guns of the latest pattern are to protect the new harbor. The guns will use smokeless powder so as to render their discovery by an enemy more unlikely than otherwise would be the case. The most of the expense in construction with this great undertaking has been made through a channel through one side of the island so that vessels can get to deep water inside the harbor. The coral is of the hardest character and, therefore, the work has been slow. But the results will be permanent and there will be no need of dredging to keep the channel open. More than 4,600,000 cubic yards of coral reef have been excavated to open the approaches to the inner harbor. The solid character of the coral reef will afford a fine foundation for the graving deck. The drydock has been built, with large scale. It is 720 feet long, large feet wide and fifty-feet deep, large enough in every way for any battleship. Hawaii has the advantage over the Philippines as a naval base because it is nearer the American coast and consequently American ships can get to coaling stations in a comparatively short time in the event of war. NO LONGER NOON IN STRAND Violent Remedy Applied to Clock That Fooled Lovers for Ten London.—For ten years the clock of St. Mary-Strand has looked due west past the Savoy and Cecil hotels and on the Charing Cross announcing to all that the hour was exactly 12 o'clock. A couple of days ago the hands of the old clock were removed and a familiar feature of the Strand has thus been lost. The clock explains that people passing down the Strand about noon have been deceived into thinking that the old clock was a trustworthy timepiece, and the result has been "innumerable letters of complaint from all kinds of irate people who have lost trains or missed appointments. This has gone on for years, until at last a clockmaster offered to take away the hands and leave the clock in his office. The reason why St. Mary-Strand's clock pointed to the same hour for ten long years is simple enough. There was no money to defray the expenses of keeping it in order. Up to eleven or twelve years ago the vestry looked after it, but when the Westminster city council took over the vestries the clock's income was stopped. Private generosity kept going for 1902. Then it stopped, and a struggle managed to get the pendulum to swing. To the astonishment of the verger, the roctor and people in the Strand, the old clock recorded the time, and then stopped. Next day it was in the twelve, and there it remained till a couple of days ago. SCENES IN EUROPE Land of Inimitable Lakes and Peaks and Mountains—Federal National Exhibition to Be Held at Berne in 1904. Berne, Switzerland—All roads lead to Switzerland and to the border land between Switzerland and other countries where there are mountains and lakes and invigorating and curative springs and baths. The lakes of Killarney are fine and the mountains and passes pictureques. The Welsh mountains are not to be ignored. The English lake country, with its Windermore, the Ilm-merme, Rydal water, Dewerwater, entering Scotland, its mountains and lakes in literature and in fact historic, poetic, tragic, with their chain of castles from Glasgow to Edinboro, the latter one of the most fascinating of cities, all invi the tourist's eye, but there is only one Switzerland, or, rather one Alpine land, for the lakes and the Alps were so greatly insistent that they could not confine themselves to the country of the Swiss, but lapped over into Germany, for the lakes and Italy, and eastern France has the Jura mountains which are ambitious foothills of the highest of the Alps. For those who make stops at London and Paris perhaps the best route to Switzerland is to take a car at the Lyons station in Paris, whirl through the great Burgundy and Chablis and Champagne country and land at Geneva. It is best to travel by day, as the landscape is worth the seeing and arriving at Geneva in the evening one will, if one be wise, take hotel rooms fronting on Geneva Lake, or Lac Leman, to give it the French name, and a window or porch the early sun will make such a spectacle of Mont Blanc, the monarch of peaks, as can be seen at no other time. When there is a trip by steamer to Lausanne, to Chillon with its old castle, immortalized in history and by Byron in his "Prisoner of Chillon." It is a fascinating ride through Lausanne and other towns and over the Bernese Oberland to Berne, the quaint capital of this country of quaint St. Gothard's Pass. people; town of the Bear Pit, always with a supply of bears, or berne, and all of the bears the pete of all Berne; town of the most grotesque street fountains in the world, and town of other things too many to mention. The grand national exhibition of Switzerland, which will take place in 1914 at Berne, the capital of the Swiss federal government, will no doubt form one of the chief events of Europe, and it may therefore be interesting to become acquainted with some of the principal features of Berne. There are but few capitals in the world which despite their numerous links with more international life have been able to preserve their characteristic peculiarities so well as Berne, which among the most important Swiss towns may be called the most Swiss. This may be said both from the point of architecture as well as the character of the population. There are two powerful towers with massive gates dividing the old part of the town, one of which, the Clock-Tower, contains the famous clock, a unique work of great mechanical skill, which no visitor to Berne will fall to and watch at midday. On all sides and walks around Lac Leman; all the way to Berne, one has always seen only glimpses of famous mountains. The great Dent du Midi, ever snow-covered, is constantly in view, and Mont Blanc, sixty miles away, at Almes. On the rail trip one occasionally glimpses the crest of Mont Blanc, the Jungfrau, Matterhorn, Wetterhorn. Eagle Swoops Down on Negro Boy. Concord, N.

Everywhere in the South, and in a few localities in the North, it is a fixed policy to lynch Afro: Americans charged with crime. At the general assembly of the Southern Presbyterian church, at Bristol, ‘Tenn., there were majority and minority reports on marriage and divorce, Both reports urged against permitting polygamists to enter the chureh, either in this or foreign lands. No action was taken regarding the thousands of Southerners who have lived polygamous lives with Caucasian and colored women, Many Southern churchmen consider crossing the color line in this way perfectly proper. INTEREST IN SEGREGATION. If there is need of evidence to con- vince any one of the growth of race prejudice in this country it may be found in the widespread interest in segregation of the races in cities. ‘The plan of restricting Afro-Ameri- cans to certain neighborhoods has been adopted in many of the smaller cities of the South, but Baltimore is the largest eity in which the plan has been enacted into law. Samuel L. West, who enjoys the un- enviable distinction of being the au- thor of the infamous West segrega- tion ordinance, announces that he has sent copies of his raco segregation law from the Atlantic to the Pacific eceans.

THE COMING OF ABDUL BAHA. Abdul Baba, Abbas Bifenai, oriental world leader ‘and head of the Bahai Movement, has been received with reat favor during his visit to this country. He has traveled as far West as Chicago and will tour the United States. ‘XD Baba Drags the moseag ot universal peace and amity. “The basis Of his religion, {fit may be s0 called, is tho abolition of the color line and the uniting of all men, regardless of creed or complexion, on a platform of common humanity. Bahaism is a great improvement on the spurious christianity which exists In the United States.

FIRST OF ITS KIND. The Great Railroad Excursion of Charles T. White. For several weeks THE APPEAL and many other papers throughout the United States has been advertis ing the great railroad excursion that is to be run under the personal super. vision of Mr. C. T. White, of Vancou- ver, B. C. This is the first time in the history of this country that an Afro-American has undertaken an educational and pleasure trip of the kind. (See ad: Vertisement. on, 4th page.) Mr. White was in the city several days this week, en route to Chicago where he will remain and establish headquarters for booking his passen gers. ‘The excursion will start from Chi cago on Monday, July 15th, and arrive in St. Paul Tuesday and remain thre¢ days to give his party an opportunity to attend the sessions of the Negrc National Congress and the big enter tainment at the Auditorium, to which his party will attend in a body, and this of itself will form a great at traction on this grand occasion, as the members of the party, which is con fidently expected to be upward of 125, will come from all parts of the United States and Canada, Gass SWI Wee “Everybody's Doing It,” as the song says, and, according to invitations which have been received in St, Paul by his friends, our former fellow townsman, Mr. William French, now ‘a resident of Colorado Springs, Colo. son of Mr. and Mrs. Allen French, of Se eae io 8 ‘ried on June Sth.

Conference are making their associates sit up and take notice—of them. If you get THE APPEAL it is a weekly reminder to come and pay what you owe for it. Putting it off only makes the bill larger. The Imperial Twelve gave a very swell dancing party at Dania hall last Tuesday evening and about fifty couples had a joyous time. Messrs. Clarence L. Smith and George Edwards were delegates, representing St. Philip's church, St. Paul, at the meeting of the Diocesan Council Tuesday and Wednesday of this week.

Things are moving along very satisfactorily in regard to the coming of Negro National Educational Congress July 15 to 18 inclusive, and the people of St. Paul may look forward to having a splendid time during the meeting. On Tuesday, July 16, there will be a grand entertainment and ball at the Auditorium. A very delightful reception was given by the citizens of the Twin Cities to the delegates and visitors to the General Conference on last Tuesday evening at Wesley Methodist church. Dr. R. S. Brown was master of ceremonies. Among the speakers were: Bishop I. B. Scott, Dr. J. W. E. Bowen, Dr. E. Lyons, B. S. Smith, Esq., and Mrs. Ione Gibbs. Musical numbers were furnished by Mrs. Addie C. Minor, Mrs. Hattie Loomis-Oliver, Mrs. Emma Archer, Miss Ada Lewis, Mr. W. J. Scott. Refreshments were served. St. Paul was well represented. Mr. Charles S. Smith, editor of the Twin City Star, met with a peculiar, though serious, accident last Monday. Mr. Smith has a pet cat, of which he is very fond. He says it is "almost human." Last Monday the cat was badly frightened by a vicious dog, and Mr. Smith took her in his arms to pet her, when the dog began to bark and the excited cat bit Mr. Smith on the right hand. The wound was properly cared for and caterized, and it is hoped nothing more serious will be the result. As a precaution, Mr. Smith took the Pasteur treatment and appears to be getting all right. 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.

We clip the following from one of our exchanges to warn our delinquent subscribers what a hot time they will have if they fail to pay their newspaper bills. The same fate awaits our slow-paying advertisers: "An editor who died of starvation was escorted to Heaven by an angel sent for that purpose. "May I just glance in at the other place before we ascend to eternal happiness?" So they went below and skimming around, taking in the sights. It so happened that the angel lost track of the editor, and around Hades hunting him. He forked him sitting by an enormous furnace, fanning himself and gazing with rapture upon a crowd of lost souls in the fire. Over the furnace was a sign bearing the words, "Delinquent subscribers." "Come," said the angel, "we must be going now." "You go on," said the editor, "I'm not going. This is heaven enough for me." HERE IS THE GREAT CHANGE OF YOUR LIFE THIS IS WHAT YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR. I have now completed arrangements with the railroads in regard to running my personally conducted excursion from Chicago, Ill., to the PACIFIC COAST AND RETURN.
