The Appeal

THE APPEAL KEEPS IN FRONT BECAUSE: 1-It aims to publish all the news possible. 2-It does so impartially, wasting no words. 3-Its correspondents are able and energetic. The PLAYGROUND OF HOLLAND OMTILL AND STREAM FISHING VESSELS Just as the remote and pagan Breton is getting hideously like the rest of the world as regards the itching palm. No; the folk of the Zulder Zee are embitterably not children, but they are not the less interesting because they must be taken as vastly enraging. OBJECTS TO AN UTILANDERS CAMERA extravagant breaches and ceremonial hat. If this is a fact, the Havenstoorn bootdlenst of Amsterdam, which has very tender and not altogether disterested affection in these "buried cliffs of the Zulder Zee," would find worth while to run an excursion. An exception must be made in the case of Kyle Lendam, a village which, although artist-ridden all the year round, lives a quite simple and unpretentious life. Its fishing fleet proves its prowess in the North sea, and its women are blushing and bashful. The wooden houses are really homes, and whatever treasures and heirlooms may lie within are not shown to the stranger or bartered for his gold. The costume strikes one as genuine. At any rate, the spirted little boys who are always swarming about the jetty prove by their romps and gymnastics that their faded magenta mementos and round black caps are eminently praised to play in. At first, one has fears for the costume. The coats are so breathlessly tight—an economy that counterbalances the absurd superficiency of mats in the trousers—and the caps would be at the bottom of the Zulde Zee twenty times a day were it not that they have the tenacity of limpets. The men remain faithful to this artistic costume both when stalwart, serious fisherman—at which stage the visitor sees little of them—and when their working life is done and all that remains is to spend the day leaning up against the jetty wall, smoking and musing. Old age is very kind to the Dutch fisherman. His fine wrinkles, twinkling eyes, scant hair—his whole smoke-dried and sunried face—have a shrewd, distinguished look, which is very attractive and is not elsewhere in Holland. The women, too, improve with age. In youth they are bright and burx lasses, with sunburst cheeks, bright shallow eyes, and hair tucked away, all too neatly, light and graceful winged caps. In age they grow skimming and thoughtful, and some of them, save the costume, are Cinderella's godmother to the life, gowns have not the galaxy of the men's habits, being generally a useful black, blue or purple, broadly checked or striped, and comes in a tight and awkward fashion. Beauty comes with the VOL. 28. NO. 22. AN ANCIENT HOLLANDER I N some ways "the playground of Holland" is quite a good name for the islands of the Zuider Zee. The stiff, shining trees, the black and white cows, the natty and vividly-painted wooden houses, might all have trooped out of some very new and splendid nursery Noah's Ark. The peo- pole are dressed in a more gay and unpractical fashion than elsewhere, and their vocation in life, like a child's, is to make a pretty and pleasing impression on their observers. The cheese and fashing at which they make baskets and appear to be, as unimportant to the general weal as the productions of a child's cooking stove. What they have to do is to look, dress and behave so that they appeal to artists wanting models and Americans wanting excursions. Two-thirds of the tourists and the guide-books actually seem to imagine themselves as them quite guileless and childlike. Of course, they are really becoming, thanks to the tourist, the most canny and long-sighted people in Holland, just as the remote and pagan Breton hideously like the rest of the world as itching palm.

The other day a woman writer was condemning feminine vanities, especially the one of dress. To some, a sentient she is right in her judgment on feminine vanities, especially when she condemns the woman who spends all her days and too much of her money on clothes.

The Volendammers are a placid people, with only one strong prejudice—against the neighboring island of Marken. The denounce it as a community of beggars whose only excuse is their deficient mental capacity, due to the fact that no one guides books put down this misunderstanding of religion; but one feels that there is something in the Volendammers' contention when one finds that the Markener standpoint can only be ascertained by the application of hard cash. On that mainland-despised but tourist-beloved isle even conversation is chargeable. The children shriek plaintive and inopportune good-byes in exchanging a shower of copper, and the most casual photographer has to pay a fee to every unmannerly urchin who chooses to dispose herself in front of his camera. Really, the costume of the Markeners is not to be taken seriously. To begin with the women's dress is largely made up of printed stuffs, a kind of shoddy substitute for embroidery which has surely not been so very long in the world. The dress itself is dark enough, but over it is worn an overall of the most gaudy and faunting hues; the cap is chiefly print, and the fair hair is worn in low-gloss white. The dresses the forehead, Mr. E. V. Lucas, in his "Wandering in Holland," calls these worthy dames "fine, upstanding creatures." One would like them better if they were less confounding and attentive.

As it long ago that dress was of importance, because she noticed that many of the cleverest students missed the best posts in after life because they paid no money to dress or carriage. She herself had to dress, either, but she was wise enough to knowledge it, and she persuaded a friend to undertake the care of her wardrobe. So now, twice a year, she is thoroughly turned out with new toilettes, the result being that she has gained in influence and has not lost any of her serious character. She has even lectured to her students on the subject. "dreaming of its greatness in the past." Certainly the silent little town shows no desire to emulate its former achievements. If it dreams it dreams quietly, and not even the boisterous clang of the bell of a seemingly quite unnecessary tramway can rouse it from its resting place. It forms a factory where the Edam, Edam, Edam cheese are extremely bustling but strangely unproductive. Edam has a huge church, which, having once acted as a shelter for men and cattle during a flood, is now afflicted with the cow-damp. The town also prides itself on its cleanliness, a fact that makes it horribly unsympathetic. The Zulzer Zee, which lives in the art of Anton Mauve, is off the beaten track of the tourist. He owns a farm worked only by artists, although it is a pretty place and the surrounds are for Holland, thickly wooded, Zazandam, the place where Peter the Great worked at ship building, pleases by its bright green houses and stald old windmills.

But she yields so readily to persuasion that perhaps one does not wrong her in thinking that she solicences herself for the loss with a little expedition to Amsterdam in search of a substitute. The Marken fishing fleet makes a brave show, but one feels that a really prosperous concern would not spend so much time in harbor. However, on weekdays the men certainly disappear somewhere, perhaps only to make sure that the pressure is not too oppressive. As is the case all over Holland, man has the monopoly of all the quaintest devices in dress. The Markener is said to do his fishing in his PROJECTS TO AN VITLANDERS CAMERA extravagant breeches and ceremonious hat. If this is a fact, the Havenstoom-boodienst of Amsterdam, which has a very tender and not altogether disinterested affection in these "buried cities of the Zuider Zee," would find it worth while to run an excursion to the scene of his labors. Marken and Volendam are not the only buried cities in which the Haven-stoombootdienst is eager to introduce the stranger. In fact, as far as one can discover, these places are not cities at all. But Minenkonkam, on the strength of having fitted out a ship which did good service against the Spaniards at Hoorn, is described as of the finest quality.

Then there is another plea for women who spend time and money on their clothes. They keep endless industries alive by what appear to many people with which to approach, and the only thing with which to approach them is that they so often accept hideous fashion from the dressmakers when their sense of the fitness of things should make them refuse to look at anything which does not express beauty and usefulness combined. DAY FOR KISSING Ancient Custom Is Still Observed in English Town. Village of Hungerford Has Two Official "Osculators," Who Make Their Rounds Every Hockney Tuesday. London.—How would you like to be official kiss for the village of Hungerford? The town has two of them, and they work hard and enjoy their labor. Hungerford is on the borders of Berkshire and Wiltshire. The custom of official kissing there is centuries old. It happens on Hockney Tuesday you can have no compaction of what it means. At eight o'clock the town crier of Hungerford, in gray and scarlet, with brass buttons, comes out of the town hall and blows three notes on the ancient horn given by John o' Gaunt, and that is the signal for two tutti-tumi to emerge from the constable's house with staves tipped with flowers—daffodils, primroses and tulips, surmounted by an orange. It is their business to go forth and kiss the damsels of the town, irrespective of age or beauty, according to custom. James Blake and Anthony Bowser were the tutti-tumi this Hockney Tuesday. Mr. Blake is sixty years old; Mr. Bowser is younger, and both of them kissed vigorously from eight o'clock until seven o'clock in the evening, with a break for dinner. Tradition decrees that they shall be liberal with oranges and pennies. Therefore, having kissed a maid, they gave her an orange as a solace, and they hurled oranges among the crowd of urchins who followed them about all day. It was a perfect orgy of kissing. They knocked at doors, and little, high-pitched shrieks floated out into the street, showing how noble the tutti-men were doing their duty. Meanwhile, during these goings-on, the Hock-Tide court had been sitting, Typical Hungerford Cottages. doing the serious business of the year, appointing a constable, a portweave, an ale-taster and what not, and at the end the entire court adjourned to the Three Swans for church warden pipes and bowls of smoking punch. .FLOWERS OF ANCIENT EGYPT Collection at National Museum Near Cairo Shows Every Plant Is Still Growing. Cairo, Egypt—In a suburb of Cairo stands the national museum of Egyptian antiquities founded fifty years ago by a Frenchman known as Marlette Bey. One department is devoted to an interesting collection of spectacles of plants which have been found in the ephemeral monuments of that country. It is remarkable, says a writer in Harper's, that, although the botanical collection is large and contains many varieties, every plant is still to be found growing in the valley of the Nile. Moreover, the closest examination fails to reveal the slightest difference between the plants that fountished fifty centuries and those which the traveler sees today on the banks of the river. Bows on the boy Moses or the children of Joseph picked still bloom unchanged. There are to be seen here blue sprays of larkspur which loving hands laid upon the bodies of those who died a thousand years before. Abraham and Sarah went down into Egypt. In the tombs of later date have been found, together with apparently simple ornamental flowers, such as hollyhocks and chrysanthemums, the various fruits, vegetables and grains for which the land has ever been renowned, such as figs, dates, olives, grapes, pomegranates, onions, barley and wheat, which were eaten upon the breasts of those who died at the time when Solomon reigned in Jerusalem, about 1000 B. C., were found garlands of celery, which does not appear to have been used at that time as a vegetable by the Egyptians. All these plants, when they were prepared for the funeral ceremonies, were subjected to great heat, by which their form and color were preserved, but their germinating power was destroyed. Hence all the stories which have been told of wheat having been raised from grains that have lain in the wrappings of mummies for 50 centuries are untrue. Unscrupulous natives have sold to credulous travelers wheat in which modern grains have been mixed with the ancient, but only the modern grains can germinate. BIRDS THAT LIVE CENTURIES Melbourne, Australia.—Among the wild birds of tropical countries whose average life is said to be close to one hundred years are said to be the cockatoos of Australia, a handsome bird belonging to the same family as the parrot, and a species of bird which is readily tamed and taught, to do tricks which many domesticated birds and animals are unable to accomplish. The cockatoo, particularly the yellow-crested bird, is one of the most intelligent of the birds of the world, and while it may seem strange to some, it is a fact that by kindness and excellent treatment a cockatoo can be taught to accomplish almost any act that its owner wishes. The birds are naturally fond of play and to combine play with instruction is sold by Edward Montague, an old New Englander, to the best method of training. Montague's ancestry dates back in 1688, when Richard Montague settled in Hadley, Mass., and all individuals of whom there are more than five birds in the United States, take pride in displaying the Montague coat-of-farms. In addition to being proud of his ancestry, Edward Montague is extremely proud of his flock of trained cockatoos and some of his birds, doubtless because of his training, display almost human intelligence. The cockatoo is found in immense flocks in the wild regions three hundred miles west of Melbourne, Australia, and there they are easily species, but also the yellow crest is the most beautiful as well as the most intelligent. It is a strange feature of the breeding of the cockatoo that the mother bird hatches her young in a particularly torrid climate and then immediately flies away to some colder clime, where the young bird quickly attains its growth. Another feature of the bird is that the crest is a barometer of feeling. When incensed, the crest is perceptibly raised, while when the bird sinks, it is suddenly lowered. Naturally the bird is of a vicious nature and one pick from the sharp bill is sufficient to sever the end of a finger. Training of the birds is an interesting vocation and usually extends over a period of two years. The individual bird must first be taught to perform and then similar instruction has to be given to the flock. The birds can be taught to dance, engage in charlot races, do stunts on the horizontal bars, perform on revolving balls and lastly to talk and swear. The birds strangely pick up profane words much more quickly than words of any other type, and some cockatos know more profanity than anything else. They live to be more than one hundred years old, and some birds are in captivity which have exceeded the curry mark. They do not require any more treatments to survive than a human being, and if they are fed regularly and kept out of draughts they contract no illness. But they dislike extreme hot weather, and those in captivity always grow restless when the hot sun shines upon them. Deepest Hole in the World. Slaughters Creek, W. W. Va.-What will be the deepest hole in the world is being drilled by W. E. Edwards on his oil fields. Its purpose is to determine the geological character of the earth. The depth now is 5,230 feet. The world's record depth is 6,001 feet, attained in a South American well. Cow Inspects Department Store. Norwich, Conn.—A fine Holstein cow, which was being driven through the street here, bolted from the herd and entered a department store. Going up several lights, she frightened the dog and entered into bysterics. Finally the owner arrived with a rope and she was safely escorted to the street. Gulley Man Pleas for Son. Brockton, Mass.—When sentenced to seven years in prison for counterfeiting, Patrick J. McGarth pleaded with the court to spar his son, who is to be tried. He said the boy acted only under his orders.

MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY. $2.40 PER YEAR: SCENES IN JERICHO Declares Arabs, Riding on Their Camels in Quiet of Dawn, Passed Like Phantoms — Vital Grave of Lazarus. Jerusalem—We had come down from Jerusalem the previous morning with a correspondent, a carriage ride of four hours, and had stopped for lunchen at Jericho, or, more correctly speaking, at Rilla, a little to the east of the site of the ancient city. What memories of brilliant events in Biblical history cling about this spot! Jericho, the city of palm trees; the scene of Joshua's victories; the place where the last days of Elijah were spent, and whence he went forth with Elisha to cross the waters of the Jordan, to be taken up to heaven in a chariot of fire; the spot where the two blind men were healed; the place where our Lord paid a visit to the house of Yachens. Here, too, were the long celebrated and beautiful women of Jericho to Cleopatra by Mark Anthony Jericho now consists of a large Russian church, a house for Russian pilgrims, two hotels and the mud huts of Bedouin Arabs. As we descended the 700 feet below Jerusalem the heat increased until we arrived in the tropical plain of Jericho under a blinding sun. First, we visited the pool of Elisha, the waters of which he had healed; then tramped through the ruins of the Jericho of the Israelites, where we saw part of the city walls around which Joshua and his army marched to times. After his capitulation Joshua pronounced a city, which was fulfilled. Very recently excavations have been made here by the Germans and the Austrians. The only sound we heard as we rolled along the sandy soil past clusters of thorn bushes was the tinkle of the sleighbells around the horses' necks. Straight ahead, at intervals, we could discern a dark moving mass on the road, and as we approached a party of Arabs would step aside, with staffs in their cloaks, with staffs in their carriage. At another time the dark moving would prove to be a caravan of camels moving noiselessly along with their heavy burdens. Daylight came St. Stephen's Gate. slowly, for the morning was misty. The outlines of the hills were slowly being defined by the rising sun with a deep purple over their western slopes. Then did I realize why artists so often paint them shrouded in that color; and why the Psalmist would utter the hope and the longing of nations, "I will lift up mine eyes to the everlasting hills whence my hope cometh." Arabs, riding on their canals along the river, waded in the all-weather quiet of the dawn, with the gloomy purple hills and the deep blue sky for a background, passed like phantoms, like dream-pictures one used to imagine when stories were told in childhood. Since that day the whole Scripture narrative has been wonderfully vivified; the abiding pain and beauty of the hills have a sense of sheltering presence over man and beast. About half way back to Jerusalem we stopped to rest the horses at a khan where once stood the inn of Samaritan tame. Nearer to Jerusalem we alighted at Bethany and we carried the grave of Lazarus, carrying lighted candles. The ruins of the house of Simon, the leper, are near by; as is a part of a wall of the house of Martha and Mary. Passing strange it seems that Mohammedans should have the custody of these places, as well as of a few in Jerusalem itself. Yes, "go to Jeroboah;" but he sure to come back again.

The question, Is lynching an accident?" is to be thrashed out in the Louisiana courts. The point came up at Baton Rouge when the widow of Frank Miles, an Afro-American, who was lynched by a Shreveport mob, filed preliminary proceedings against an insurance company. The payment of a $400 accident policy is demanded. The petition does not specify that Mills was a victim of an accident, but recites that he was found "hanging from the limb of a tree in the rear of the base ball park with a rope tied about his neck." Lynching cannot be classed as an accident. 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 church, 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 convince 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-Americans to certain neighborhoods has been adopted in many of the smaller cities of the South, but Baltimore is the largest city in which the plan has been enacted into law. Samuel L. West, who enjoys the unenviable distinction of being the author of the infamous West segregation ordinance, announces that he has sent copies of his race segregation law from the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans. He says that there is a demand for information from every part THE FILM MAKER HON. CHARLES S. DENEEN. Republican Canidate for Re-election as Governor of Illinois. [Name not visible in the image] of the country and he is kept busy sending copies and replying to questions about the working of the law The law works injustice to both races but West seems to glory in his in famy. The Senate celebrated Decoration Day by passing the annual pension appropriation bill after fifteen minutesconsideration. The measure carried $165,162,500, an increase of almost $13,000,000 over the amount appropriated by the House. The increase includes $12,500,000 for expenses caused by the heavy volume of work growing out of the recent enactment of the so-called dollar a day pension law. The bill retained the present eighteen pension agencies, distributed throughout the country, for whose consolidation into one agency the House had provided. It also provided for the payment of pensions by checks to the veterans instead of by vouchers. They can't do too much for the men who fought for the freedom of the slaves, many of whom come in for some of the pension money as they helped in the fight. The Southern white people are a queer lot. They will send an Afro-American to the penitentiary for the most trivial thing, they will lynch him for nothing but being black, and they won't give him a fair, square show for anything on earth. But once in while they do some unheard-of thing that smacks of having a little human feeling for their brothers in black. At Atlanta, Ga., May 1, John Huddeson, a life convict, was granted a thirty-day leave of absence in consideration of his sixteen years of faithful services. Huddeson went home to visit his family, promising to be back at the end of the month. The warden said Huddeson, who was sent up for murder, had been a model prisoner, and his long service entitled him to a rest, and it's dollars to doughnuts that Huddeson will report for duty at the end of the month. SAUCE FOR THE GANDER, SAUCE FOR THE GOOSE. Mrs. Mary Dubal of Birmingham, N. Y., is believed to be the first suffragist in the United States to be given a penitentiary sentence for husband-beating. She was arrested on a warwanted obtained by Mr. Dubal, who complained that in a fit of rage she gave him a sound beating. City Judge Albert Hotchkiss declared that if women desired men's prerogatives, they should also have men's punishments. He always dealt severely with wifebeaters, he said, and accordingly sentenced her to three months in the penitentiary. Now, ladies, will you be good? If this is a Christian age, and the people of the United States are civilized Christians, and the treatment that was accorded Dr. Ben Reitman, the manager of Emma Goldman, last Wednesday, meets their approval, then our understanding of what Christian stands for is away off. Of course, these were white Christians(?) and their victim was white, but that does not alter the case except to make it appear worse, if possible. We are used to their demon-like treatment of their black brethren, but to treat their white brothers in this way is almost unbelievable. --- Every day we are more and more inclined to believe that if to BE a CHRISTIAN one must: "With all thy soul love God above, And as thy self thy neighbor love," few of our white brothers can justly lay claim to the title. And nowhere is unchristian action more pronounced, so far as the "Brother in Black" is concerned, than in so-called christian institutions controlled by whites. Away back in 1884 John B. Kirchell, of Kingston, N. Y., made a wager to never cut his hair or shave his whiskers if Blaine was not elected. Of course he lost, and has paid his wager faithfully, and his hair is now two feet long and his whiskers reach to his waist. What fool things people do in connection with politics, and we may look out for a lot of freak bets on the coming presidential election. Dr. M. C. B. Mason lectured at Clinton Avenue M.

A Japanese has been caught stealing jewelry at Princeton, N. J. Now, the logical conclusion is that every Japanese is a thief.

Of these, 13 states have passed legislative enactments hostile to the secret orders, while the school boards of important cities in the other 12 states have adopted like measures within their own jurisdiction. All states having laws on the subject provide a penalty of suspension or expulsion from school for all those who join these orders. The most drastic laws were passed by Iowa, Minnesota and Nebraska, whose legislatures made it a misdemeanor for any one even to solicit members to these organizations. Michigan and Ohio made it a misdemeanor for a school officer to fall or refuse to carry out the anti-high school fraternity law. Other states which prohibit these orders are California, Indiana, Kansas, Mississippi, Oregon and Vermont. Massachusetts empowers the Boston school committee to deal with the secret society problem in its own way, while Washington gives the same lat- AWAKENED by a cold hand on her bare ankle, Mildred Bromwell, eleven years old, turned over in bed the other morning shortly after three o'clock and whispered to her sister Louise, fifteen years old: "There's some one in the room, Louise, for I can feel their hand on my ankle." "Be quiet," cautioned Louise, in a low tone. "I can smell whisky." Louise raised herself to a sitting posture, and by a dim light which came through the window from a lamp in the alley in the rear of the house saw the face of a negro looking directly into her eyes. So close was the dark face that the girl could smell the odor of alcohol in his breath. Louise saw the man was sitting in a chair beside the bed, and while she gazed at him, fascinated with fright, he left the chair, got down on the floor on his hands and knees and started crawling from the room. Before he reached the door Louise aroused the household with screams, aided by Mildred. Their father, James E. Brownwell, was awakened. As he left his bed he grabbed two revolvers and started to the ald of his daughters, who were in the rear room on the second floor of their home at 1622 Fifteenth street, Northwest. The negro ran downstairs, with Bromwell, clad only in pajamas, snapping his revolvers as he pursued. Bromwell had centerfire cartridges in RICH Americans are being fooled on Chinese antiques, according to tips sent to Washington by United States consuls at Hongkong and other Far East ports. Since the revolution began there has been a craze in America and Europe for souvenirs, and the fad has been fed on the stories that royal and other Chinese palaces were being looted. The chief imitations are in porcelains and brass, ancient Chinese and Japanese armor and weapons, old Corean carved chests and old carved furniture. Seven large new shops dealing exclusively in fakes have been opened in the last year in the principal shopping thoroughfare of Hongkong. There are now regular auction sales of bogus porcelain. Similar imitations of ancient brasses and bronzes, ivories, lacquers and other art objects are sold. The tourists are cheated even when they go to buy modern oriental art goods. The bronzes are base alloys; the silver is IT is announced by the United States bureau of education that to acquaint the hurried traveler with the glories, culture and progress of Spain, the Spanish government has established a holiday lecture and travel course for the especial benefit of foreigners. The course is separated into two divisions. The first part, which is under the management of Prof. Ramon Menendez Fidal, will afford the foreigner an opportunity to acquaint himself with the fundamental ideas of the Spanish culture. The second part of the course consists of excursions to public, historical, architectural and art monuments, under the conduct of scholars whose demonstrations, according to Senior Don Juan Riano y Gayangos, the Spanish minister, "cannot but be incomparably superior to those offered by professional guides." The course will be held in Madrid as a headquarters from June 15 to July 24. Those who enroll are expected to have some knowledge of Spanish. The lectures will give especial attention to the Spanish epic, to the lyric as developed in various provinces, to the plecasque and regional novel and to Cervantes. Other lectures will deal with the relations of lude to the school boards of its larger cities. The more important cities whose school boards have passed regulations restricting or forbidding high school fraternities, are Denver, Meriden, Shicago, Covington, Ne Orleans, Lowell, Waltham, Worcester, Kansas City, Mo.; St. Joseph, Butte, Oklahoma City, Reading, Salt Lake City, Madison, Milwaukee, Racine and Superlor. The commonest penalties are suspension, expulsion, or debarment from school athletic or other teams: The United States bureau of education's report also cites some of the more important court decisions, every one of which upholds the school authorities in dealing rigorously with the high school fraternity, on the ground that the measures so taken are authorized as a part of the school board's discretionary powers. Most courts cited, however, will not allow the offending pupils to be barred from classroom exercises, although they can be barred from participating in all athletic or other contests. "The high school society will very likely never win such a place in the American educational system as that now occupied by the college fraternity," said William R. Hood of the education bureau's division of school administration. "There is no such need for a high school fraternity; indeed, among its most insistent opponents are many college fraternity men." his rim-fire revolvers, and no explosion followed the snapping of the hammers. The negro opened the front door, ran down a flight of iron steps and started across the lawn. Again Bromwell pulled the trigger and this time there was an explosion. When the report rang out the fugitive jumped high in the air as though he had been struck and developed remarkable speed. The neighborhood was aroused, windows flew open, and shouts filled the air. The intruder fled around a corner into Corcoran street, and after running half a block, with Bromwell, barefoot, in hot pursuit, the negro disappeared in an alley. Bromwell gave up the chase and returned to his hysterical family. A dozen calls for the police were fashed over the telephone into headquarters by the neighbors who had heard the shot and seen a part of the futtle chase. The residents were already in a state of nervous excitement by the discovery of a negro in the bedroom of Mrs. Joseph K. Maxwell just three hours before the man was found in the Bromwell home. pewter; the silk is filled with powdered clay. Silk goods, according to Consul Anderson at Hongkong, are being adulterated to an extent and in a way never allowed before, and Japanese and Chinese goods supposed to be made from native-worked Japanese or Chinese silks are partly of American cotton. Silk hosiery is sold which is not only not all silk, but is undersized and otherwise unwearable. Ivories are of bone or other imitation. Embroidered screens are made of the filmset materials glued to last but a day. There is now a recognized real grade and an "export" grade of porcelains like the beautiful Satsuma ware of Japan. Imitation cloisonne ware is on the market in great quantities, Japanese carved "cherry-wood" furniture is made of soft wood stained and varnished. Chinese black wood furniture in some cases is white wood stained, but the Chinese Guild is trying to stop the practice of imitating the heavy expensive black wood. Recently a large order was placed in Hongkong for "Slamese" brass, and most of the brass workers at Hongkong at present are engaged in beating out brass trays with the usual Slamese engraved decoration and characteristics—to be sold as real Slamese. the Spanish language to the French and Italian; with Iberian, Mozarabic and "Mudejar" art and with the political and social life of Spain in the nineteenth century. There will also be two illustrated lectures surveying Spanish art. Each of the lectures on Spanish literature will be followed by an hour of practical work on the text. There will also be a special class of Castilian phonetics and daily conversation classes. The principal museums of Madrid, especially the Prado, the Modern Art museum, the Archaeological museum and the Royal Armory, will be visited, while excursions will be taken to Toledo, Escorial, Avila and Segovia. These trips will be in the charge of Dr. Manuel Cossio and Dr. Manuel Gomes Mereno, two authorities on their subjecta. COLLEGES AND SCHOOLS Knowles Building. Boys' Hall.

While much interest will naturally be taken in the business sessions of the coming Negro National Educational Congress as there will be some of the brainiest men and women of the country there, yet the grand reception and ball which will be given at the Auditorium on the evening of July 16, holds the greatest interest from a social stand point, as it promises to surpass either of the two former occasions, when we have had this, St. Paul's grandest and largest place of public entertainment.

To Bring Many Distinguished Mem- ber of the Rose to Sit. R. Bers of the Race to St. Paul. The plans for the coming Negro National Educational Congress, which will convene in St. Paul, July 15th to 19th incarnate, are beginning finely. There was a gathering of the local committee at the old capitol last Monday evening, at which much routine work was done. Reports from a number of states of delegates appointed by the several governors gives a total of delegates approximating 300, and they include some of the best men and women in each state. A letter received this week from J. Silas Harris, president of the Congress, states that among those who have accepted places on the program are: Rev. Reverdy C. Ransom, of New York, editor of the A. M. E. Review, one of the most distinguished drummers in the city. Dr. A. Henry Attaway, president of Edward Waters College, Jacksonville, Fla., an educator and orator of national renown. Prof. E. L. Blackshear, president of Prairie View State Normal and Industrial College, Prairie View, Texas. Dr. R. S. Wilkinson, president of State College, Orangesburg, S. C., a graduate of Harvard and West Point and one of the leading educators of the country. Dr. Wm. J. Thomkins, the great white plague specialist. The plan of entertainment as now arranged is to have each of the churches in the city to give a reception and program on Monday evening, July 15th, numbers on the program to be supplied by delegates or distinguished visitors. On Tuesday evening, July 16th, the event par excellence will be given at the AUDITORIUM, at which time a program of the strongest attractions, reign and locus will be presented. This will be THE EVENT OF ALL EVENTS, and the indications are that upward of 2,000 persons will be present. Wednesday evening, July 17th, a grand boat excursion on the Mississippi will be given for the delegates and visitors. Thursday evening the delegates and visitors will be entertained in Minneapolis, plans not fully arranged. Friday evening has no decided program arranged for at this time, but will be arranged later on. The greatest interest is centered in the entertainment at the Auditorium, and it will doubtless eclipse all former entertainments. All that is necessary is for every one to boost to make this the biggest occasion ever in St. Paul. 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 advertising the great railroad excursion that is to be run under the personal supervision of Mr. C. T. White, of Vancouver, 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 advertisement on 4th page.) Mr. White was in the city several days this week in route to Chicago, where he will remain and establish headquarters for booking his passengers. The excursion will start from Chicago on Monday, July 15, and arrive in St. Paul Tuesday and remain three days to give his party an opportunity to attend the sessions of the Negro National Congress and the big entertainment at the Auditorium, to which his party will attend in a body, and this of itself will form a great attraction on this grand occasion, as the members of the party, which is confidently expected to be upward of 125, will come from all parts of the United States and Canada. Prices on everything seems to be going up, and the newspaper publish 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.

It will be well for the people of St. Paul to begin preparations to take care of the delegates to the Negro National Educational Congress, which comes to St. Paul in July. The prospect seems fair for the largest number of visitors we have ever had. Those who have not witnessed the changing of the Auditorium from an opera house to an immense dancing pavilion, while the audience looks on, will have an opportunity to do so at the Negro National Educational Congress' Reception and Ball, Tuesday, July 16. It is a wonderful sight. Mrs. Samuel Hatcher, who won the contest for the round-trip ticket to the A. M. E. General Conference at the recent May Feast and Bazaar at St. James church, has been presented a handsome gold locket in lieu of the ticket. She tenders her grateful thanks to each one who helped her to win. Mr. J. H. Dillingham, general manager of the recent May Feast and Bazaar at St. James A. M. E. church, presented Miss Hattie Pettis a handmade gold locket as her prize for bringing the largest number of votes for May Queen. The locket was given in lieu of the suit which was the prize offered. Why not patronize the business houses that invite you to trade with them through their advertisements in THE APPEAL?

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 being 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 the worm below and skimming around taking in the lice. It was happened that the angel lost track of the editor and went around Hades hunting him. He found 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." READ THIS IF YOU OWN A LOT. Mr. Home Builder, if you own a lot in St. Paul of Minneapolis, that is free from incumbrance and want a house built on it, let Peters do it. If you will call on him he can show you sixty plans of houses ranging in price from $500 to $2,500, and he will build any one of these houses on your lot and you pay for it in monthly instalments just like paying rent. Or, if you don't like any of his houses, you will gladly pay for it you free of any expense to you. He will furnish all the money necessary to construct your house with no down payment. There are no extras on your building, no commissions or bonuses for making loan or for drawing plans: He has helped hundreds to become home-owners—why not you? **Peters—Contractor,** 335-7 McKnight Bldg., 2nd ave.

Things are moving along very satisfactorily in regard to the coming of Negro National Educational Congress of St. Paul is inclusive, and the people of St. Paul are to have, in having a splendid time during the having. On Tuesday, July 16, there will be a grand entertainment and ball at the Auditorium. 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 NEGRO NATIONAL EDUCA TIONAL CONGRESS. The Negro National Congress is creating a great deal of interest in the various states in the Union, and is indorsed by many Governors, and the following expressions are in common with sentiment of the rest: "I will take great pleasure in naming a delegation to the Negro National Educational Congress."—Wm. Hodges Mann, Governor of Virginia. "I am used to reply with your request, and appoint a delegation."—M. E. Hay, Governor of the State of Washington. "I shall be glad to furnish credentials to any citizen who expresses desire to attend."—A. J. Pothier, Governor of Rhode Island. "Will try and appoint worthy representatives of the race at an early date."—Hen W. Hooper, Governor of Tennessee. "I shall forward you the names and addresses as fast as I can have them presented."—C. S. Deneen, Governor of Illinois. "I will do the best I can in making the selection of worthy men as delegates."—John Burke, Governor of North Dakota. "I shall appoint delegates from this State to attend the Congress."—B. F. Carrall, Governor of Iowa. "I am in thorough sympathy with the object of the organization and want to do everything I can to assist."—R. P. Bass, Governor of New Hampshire. The following Governors have appointed their delegates: R. S. Vassay, Governor S. Dak. 3 Lee Gruce, Gov. Oklahoma 3 O. B. Pilgrim, Gov. Mississippi 7 O. B. Colquitt, Gov. Texas 9 Albert W. Gilchrist, Gov. Florida 1 J. E. Edwards, Gov. Louisiana, 1 O. W. Gov, Oregon 4 Wm. C. McDonald, Gov. New Mex. 12 Nearly every Governor has promised to appoint delegates, except South Carolina. One of the prominent delegates from Oklahoma who will take an active part in this Congress is Wm. Harrison from Oklahoma City, Okla., a very prominent attorney. Jeff Davis' body guard, Isaiah Montgomery of Mound Bayou, Miss., has been appointed delegate. F. L. Blacksherr, Supt. "Prairie View Normal School," Prairie, Texas, has been appointed delegate. Wm. H. McDonald, banker, of Fort Worth, Texas, has been appointed and will be present at the Congress. Rev. A. H. Attaway, president "Edward Water's College, Jacksonville, Fla., has been appointed and will be present at the Congress. Rev. J. Logan Crau, of Portland, Oregon, will be present. Rev. J. B.

Motin, of Lincoln Institute, Jefferson City, Mo., will appear in the Auditorium July 16. The interest shown in other places is highly pleasing to Governor Adolph O. Eberhart, and it is hoped that St. Paul citizens will vie with each other in extending its hospitality to the delegates and visitors who are to be our guests for the week of July 15, 1912.
