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. 23. The Lost of Euro by Buffington COPYRIGHT BY The Lost of E Buffing The Lost Treasures of Europe by Buffington Phillips NLY five years ago last Christmas two peasants in the district of Padonolaf, Russia, recovered a treasure of seven million dollars after fifteen minutes' search. It being a holiday and they being free from labor, they sat before the fire after their dinner and fell to mutiling of ataple topics, one of which was a region that in a stony cave was a vast haunt of gold, jewels, plate and so forth, hidden by some barbaric lord in the wild days that are lost to history. No one knew of any stony cave, but one of the peasants opined that a certain old quarry that had been abandoned for hundreds of years might possibly be the spot. Since the pair of them were idling, why not go look at it? On arrival at the quarry they soon found a recovered cave with earth and stone, and pulling this away with the hands, came upon ancient iron-bound casks by the dozen piled within. Some of these had rotted open and showed the treasure running out. Great Britain and the continent are thickly dotted with localities in which treasures are reported to lie, treasures offering an equal or better chance of recovery. Foremost and by all odds the greatest treasure-story of the world is the famous Rouvier quest, which has often stirred all France and remains today the prime mystery of all history. I hope, however, that that may be of aid in the next furor of search. Louis the Plouus was an abstemious and unprogregate man and had absolute control of the coffers of France in one of her richest periods. He had so much money that he did not know what to do with it other than lavish it on churches and sacred works. His greatest gift was the set of gigantic statues of the Twelve Apostles placed in Saint Chapelle. To avoid public condemnation it was given out that they were merely gilded, but the private archives of the church were the only ones they were, of solid gold. Even a conservative estimate of their value makes a staggering figure. Generation after generation passed away and still the great golden saints stood in Sainte Chapelle, classed among the art wonders of the world. Then came dark days for royalty in France. Rebellious mobs were sacking other churches and the high dignitaries called some noted royalist gentlemen into council. It was decided to remove and hide the statues. This was done with complete secrecy. The rising wave rolled higher and nobility and clergy were wiped out or dispersed. The gulletone or elie claiment them. When quiet came again twelve gilded women were placed in Sainte Chapelle and there they stand in the there was no announcement of the loss of the huge bulb of gold; there could be no announcement, considering the previous deception. At last, some forty years ago, an imperial recorder, nosing around in the Tower of London cataloging rummage there, came across a small casket hidden away in a corner among a lot of stuff captured by the Duke of Wellington after Waterloo and brought by his commissaries to England. The casket was secured by twelve seals and one of these the imperial recorder recognized as of the Marquis de Rouler then at the French embassy to the court of St. James. The young marquis said that the other seals were those of great families in France prior to the Revolution but that many had been wiped out in the Reign of Terror. Securing permission, he the casket and its custodians to France, assembled the families with a living representative and the bakers Within was found the true history of the golden saints' figures written out in detail, signed by the archbishops and by the twelve royalist noblemen. The document stated that twelve statues had been intered by workmen who were ignorant of their character in a spot in France "where the lines of latitude and longitude cross." The British government transferred the casket to the Louvre and the whole affair was put on an official basis. The young marquis and his friends of the other families joined in an association sworn to return the golden figures and fulfill the obligations of their grandfathers and great grandfathers. The young marquis and two of his friends journeyed to the district near Neully and by the aid of scientific instruments located the obligations of their grandfathers and longitude in a great open field. To the field belonged to an estate that was one of the former properties of the Marquesses de Rouvier. A peasant was plowing in the field and the searching party noticed that he and his predecessors had left in the center an oval spot now grown up with trees and brush. As there was no pile of stones there, no marsh, the young marquis said to him: "Why do you leave that spot of fine ground uncultivated?" Because sir, my father and grandfather both badly need to plow over or disturb that spot as long as I held this land and to so instruct my sons or those who should come after me, because in that soil there is a great hollow." The joy of the searching party can be imagined. There was no question in their minds but that they had chosen the chosen hiding-place with very little effort. Arrangements were at once made with the proper authorities to begin excavation, and a force of picked men and guards was assembled. To the terror of the peasants, the trees and undergrowth are cut away and the first layer of soil removed. When the excavation had reached the depth of three feet the experts with the party announced that they were working in the excavation site since it was deposited by nature, but the Marquese de Rouvier insisted that the excavation continue. It was sent down to a depth of twenty feet and broadened in all directions for a large area. But wherever spade was struck even the untrained O ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY, JUNE 8, 1912. A man is cutting a tree trunk. eve could see that the strata had never been touched by instrument of man. It lay as it had lain since paleozoic times. At last, when funds were gone and the hole was an enormous affair, a law was passed forbidding further operations in that locality. Since that time the papers found in the casket and the privy letters and documents in the hands of the dignitaries of the church have been gone over and over. It is certain that the treasure never was recovered, and it is certain that it was buried at a point where the twelve Royalist gentlemen believed the lines of latitude and longitude crossed. The most puzzling feature of the treasure had been the tradition of the peasants to keep a large earl spot from being disturbed. At the present time the great Rouvrier quest is at a standstill. However, the hint promised in a foregoing paragraph may give new life to the search. In going over some old records recently I found that there was considerable confusion arising out of a mixture of meridians, and that at the time of the burial of the treasure and those observations in France were taken by the meridian of Greenwich and others by the abandoned meridian of Paris, while it is barely possible that the observations were made by the old meridian of Rome. It is known that one of the old meridians here must line up at the number of latitude and longitude would be a territory that was then strictly French. By one rough calculation I find that one of these would be in the province of Lorraine, now German territory, and oddly enough formerly the brother of the Marquis de Rouvrier. The recovery of another of a great French treasure. The exact facts are not now obtainable, for the French government has impounded all the papers and records pertaining to the same, and the incident, as far as it is concerned, is closed. The year before the previous to the battle of Waterloo, Napoleon took the request of some intimate friend who had a premature knowledge of took a great quantity of treasure and buried it in the garden of the Tullieries, marking it down by counting a certain number of elms from the end of a great row that stood in the enclosure. When time brought the Bonaparte family the opportunity of recovering the treasure, they could not find it, and all of the private searches that were made resulted in the disclosure of not so much as a sou. At one time, after the Franco-Prussian war, some gardeners at work in the park dug a ditch and worked late in the gloom, one winter day, laying up a large bed of the request taken away in barrels, and in midday the crew light showed the corner of a leaden casket and some scattered gold-pieces. Immediately the entire trench was opened up once more, but the remainder of the casket could not be found, though far more extensive excavations were conducted. Again the treasure was forgotten, and then a newspaper writer chanced to mention in a New York paper that the cutting down of some of the elms in the row to make a new road during the Second Republic might have thrown the suggestion up for a French weekly paper and shortly thereafter a built a barrier around a section of the Tullieries' force of sappers was put to work, and after about two weeks' time the work was abandoned, while the word went forth that the great treasure had been found. Nancy Stanislas, during the famous siege of Kailen, believing one time that the city was to fall, buried a treasure that comprised both the royal wealth and the combined wealth of the citizens of the town. He chose a spot outside the city but so close to the gate that the diggers could not be seen by the bestieging army, his theory being that when the enemy came to loot the treasure they would expect to find its treasures anywhere, but within the walls of the royal fortunate had no opportunity of recovering the treasure and the entire matter was neglected for three hundred years. Only very slight efforts have been made to find it. The site of the gate has become a matter of some uncertainty, but from such plans and descriptions as I have been able to find it seems to me that a little careful search would enable some intelligent investigator to reconstruct the line of the city's wall, pick out the proper gate and, deducing from the contour of the enemies' trenches, figure out just where King Stanislas' treasure lies. During the reign of Innocent VII, when the pope were alienated from Rome and established in the great chateau at Avignon in southern France, they were numbers of free companies or mercenaries in the northern portions of that country, and some of them visited the southern district. In the year 1367 one of these bands, undoubtedly the White company, appeared in the valleys to the north of the chateau and moved in the direction of the affrunted papal court. It had been the fixed policy of the pope during their stay at Avignon to keep a large store of gold and convertible valuables on hand, looking to an emergency such as might be presented to the strata had never been present of man. It lay as it had time. At last, when funds whole was an enormous affair, forbidding further operations the papers found in the casket and documents in the hands of the church have been gone is certain that the treasure and, it is certain that it was where the twelve Royalist gene lines of latitude and longest puzzling feature of the tradition of the peasants to bear spot from being discontent time the great Rourlier will promised in a foregoing parallel life to the search.

Since that time the papers found in the casket and the privy letters and documents in the hands of the dignitaries of the church have been gone over and over. It is certain that the treasure never was recovered, and it is certain that it was buried at a point where the twelve Royalist genius believed the lines of latitude and longitude were the pungent feature of the mystery had been the tradition of keeping that one particular spot from being disturbed. At the present time the great Rouvier quest is at a standstill. However, the hint promised in a foregoing paragraph may give new life to the search. In going over some old records recently I found that there was considerable confusion arising out of a mixture of meridians, and that at the time of the burial of the treasure some observations in France were taken by the meridian of Greenwich and others by the abandoned meridian of Paris, while it is barely possible that the observations were made by the old meridian of Rome. It is impossible to take the time and space here to have made a number of other points where main lines of latitude and longitude cross in territory that was then strictly French. By one rough calculation I find that one of these would be in the province of Lorraine, now German territory, and oddly enough formerly the property of the brother of the Margula de Rouvier. Just such a speculation as this resulted in the recovery of another of a great French treasure. The exact facts are not now obtainable, for the French government has impounded all the papers and records pertaining to the same, and the incident, so far as it is concerned, is closed. The loose tale is that previous to the battle of Waterloo, Napoleon Bonaparte, at the request of some intimate friend who had a premonition of disaster, took a great quantity of treasure and buried it in the garden of the Tullerles, marking it down by counting a certain number of elms from the end of a great tree that stood in the inclosure. When time came, the Bonaparte family the opportunity of recovering the treasure, they could not find it, and all of the private searches that were made resulted in the disclosure of not so much as a sou. At one time, after the Franco-Prussian war, some gardeners at work in the park dug a ditch and were working late in the gloom, one winter day, laying some pipes. The surplus soil was taken away in barrels, and in the pile the morning light showed the corner of a leaden casket and some scattered gold-pieces. Immediately the entire trench was opened up once more, but the remainder of the casket could not be found, though far more extensive excavations were conducted. Again the treasure was forgotten, and then a newspaper writer chanced to mention in a New York paper that the cutting down of some of the elms in the row to make a new roadway during the war. Republic might have thrown the searchers off in their calculations. The suggestion was reprinted in a French weekly paper and shortly thereafter the government built a barrier around a section of the Tullerles, a force of sappers was put to work, and after two weeks' time the work was abandoned, while the word went forth that the great treasure had been found. King Stanislas, during the famous siege of Nancy, believing one time that the city was to fall, buried a treasure that comprised both the royal wealth and the combined wealth of the citizens of the town. He chose a spot outside the city but so close to the gate that the diggers could not be seen by the besieging army, his theory being that when the enemy came to loot the town they would not expect to find its treasures anywhere but within the walls. The royal fortune had no opportunity of recovering the treasure, and there matter was neglected for three hundred years. Only very slight efforts have been made to find it. The site of the gate has become a matter of some uncertainty, but from such plans and descriptions as I have been able to find it seems to me that a little careful search would enable some intelligent investigator to reconstruct the line of the city's wall, pick out the proper gate and, deducing from the contour of the enemies' trenches, figure out just where King Stanislas' treasure lies. During the reign of Innocent VII., when the popes were alienated from Rome and established in the great chateau at Avignon in southern France there were numbers of free companies or mercenaries roaming the northern portions of that country, and some of them penetrated to the southern district. In the year 1387 one of these mercenaries, likely the White company, appeared in the valleys to the north of the chateau and moved in the direction of the affirbed papal court. It had been the fixed policy of the popes during their stay at Avignon to keep a large store of gold and convertible valuables on hand, looking to an emergency such as might be presented to Defective Page them at any time. One night, when the fires of the advancing band of marauders could be seen from the tops of the towers, the pope directed two of his secretaries and the captain of his guard to detail a body of men and inter the heard in some safe spot outside the walls. This was done, and with the dawn the castle was surrounded by the bands of the free company. It was over three years, according to the panal records, before it was deemed, wise to dig up the hidden wealth and bring it within the walls, and then to take it out of the castle of the pope and his chirp, it could not be found! When the holy see to Rome was effected, the treasure was left behind, and there it remains today. There has lived one man in France who has surpassed all others in his interest and effort in the search for buried and sunken treasures, and that was M. Du Casse. Night and day, over a period of some thirty years, he followed the mad pursuit and though he found much gold he spent it all in the search of others, dying poor, but content with the wonderfully interesting life that he had lived. His cousin, known as M. Ormond, though he had a number of other names at various times, due to the peculiar life he led, was a man of inferior intellectual equipment, to the great master-searcher. But M. Ormond and his brother, Dr. Du Casse, and the bulk of them are now in the hands. Ormond's heirs, a family living in the French portion of Quebec, Canada. Among the most interesting of these records is the story of the little known trove in the ruined Abbey of St. Bavon, in Ghent. In 1758, a French Jew, by the name of Brosiel, from Guadaloupe, in the West Indies, to Amsterdam, taking with him a large quantity of gold, jewels and plate, which he had obtained in the West Indies by some illicit means, just what the records do not show. His peculiar conduct caused him to be questioned as a spy and, being a cowardly sort of man, he fled to Ghent, taking with him a big, black West Indian negro, who accompanied him in the ensnarement. The night of his arrival he left the Inn, where he carried himself, he and the negro, bearing each of his gold and jewels. It is known that they hid these somewhere in the ruined portion of the abbey. The next day Brosiel was rearrested as a spy and was deported. A wealthy man of Ghent protected the negro and made plans to return the unfortunate black to his home in the islands of the Caribbean. The ship on which Brosiel was placed was one crossing to Hull, and on board were a number of ruffians who, finding that Brosel was a Jew, maltreated him so severely that he died. On being informed of his death, the negro told his benefactor of the existence of the trove and of its burial in the ruins. With a party of peasants the two went there in daylight and the negro tried to point out where his late master had hidden the sacks. He was unable to do so, owing to his first visits having been made in the dark, and to his superstitious fears having obscured the accuracy of his perceptions. Further search was terminated by the abbe, who scoffed at the whole proposition and forbade any more digging. This injunction was made permanent and while it is reasonably certain that the negro had mission to go through the ruins of St. Bavon will unearth enough wealth to buy a score of such estates, no one has yet met the attempt. It is impossible in this consideration to enter into details concerning some two or three hundred other treasures on the Continent and only a few of the more interesting can be mentioned and that very briefly. Somewhere in the morasses in the hinterland of Vierlande, the queer little lowland tract above Hamburg, there is concealed in a tanked barge a great store of gold ornaments, jewels and gold-pieces hidden by the Lowlanders feeling before the Spaniards in the sixteenth century. The one concerning which there has been so much speculation and on which no work whatsoever has been done. In the years before his death Attila the Hun became acquaintive and assembled a treasure so vast as to stagger the imagination. This he hid in a cave in Hungary not far from the spot where he died. All the traditions say that he was buried at the mouth of the narrow tunnel leading to the cave, for he believed he would come to life again and would need the treasure to regain his power. Who will do the necessary delving among the old records and the grave of Attila and the enormous wealth concealed near it? In conclusion let me cite a great mass of sunken wealth concerning the location and existence of which there is no speculation whatsoever. In the harbor of Vigo, Spain, lay forty galleons, one fair day some centuries ago, many of them fresh, known from Mexico and South America, several known from several million dollars each in gold and silver bars, board, and others, destined for other ports, that he put into Vigo to escape the common enemy, the Enemy-sea-rovers. Admiral Sir Francis Drake appeared and gave battle. Now a Frenchman or Spanish would have had a keen eye to the treasure, but Drake did not, for he sank everything in sight. On the bottom of the harbor, the greatest depth of which is sixty fathoms, these rich old hulks are awaiting delivery of their wealth. Cavalier de Pina of Genoa has invented a circular steel tower which could be sunk over them and then floated with an observation chamber from which grappling-hooks and shovels could be directed, but his project is at a standstill. I discussed this situation in Vigo Bay with a superintendent of a large American wrecking company. He looked over the chart of the harbor and his hard blue eyes shone as he said: "I wish somebody would sit me on that job. It is a clutch for us Americans—a holy clutch!" HONGKONGCUSTOMS Chinese Women Perform as Heavy Labor as the Men. They Haul Huge Loads, Harnessed Up Like Horses, Also Assist in Building New Roads—City Is Very Cosmopolitan. Hong Kong, China—A peculiarity or the Hong Kong colony is the anomaly of the men's and women's ideas in the women work just like the men; they drag huge loads harnessed like horses, carry heavy weights strung over their shoulders as yokols carry milk cans in the country. They stagger up the Peak for about 100 yards, when they lay down their burden, go back, pick a new lot up, carry this up to the first dumping place, then take the first load on a few yards further and so on, all under a blazing sun. All the bricklaying, road mending, cooling, etc., is done equally by both sexes, but perhaps the most curious sight, writes a Hongkong correspondent, is to see a woman straining at an ear or at the steerage of a sampan. If the boat be a very heavy one of the women will work an oar together, one pulling one way and the other pushing, while a little baby is perched on the back of each in a sort of cradle or papoose arrangement. In the other hand up on the Peak, when the European settlement, one often sees the chinese boy walking ad sedately percussionist, while the English man walks empty handed by his side and superlenths operations. Of course all the house work is done by "boys." The next point is the very cosmopolitan nature of the place. This was most forcibly borne in upon me the other day when I was walking with an American on one side and an Australian on the other. Just in front of us were a couple of Germans, a Parsee stood at the door of his shop, a Japanese girl followed by two Portuguese boys passed us, and a moment later a rickshaw went by in which sat a Spanish maiden. There were of course Chinese scattered at the place as usual, so that here within a so-called one another at least nine nationalities were represented. It would be hard to name a country which could not produce its type here. A contingent of the Baluchistan Infantry is here; we have Sikh policemen; Indians of all kinds are represented officially in the civil and police Street Scene in Hong Kong. courts; next to the "Chinks" I think the Germans predominate; there is a large sprinkling of Malays and Lasars, heaps of Frenchmen and Swedes; Italians, Turks, Portuguese and Spaniards all have their place in the colony; the Scotsman and Irishman are here in large numbers, and then somewhere at the end of the list come a few straggling Englishmen. FATHER IN A GLASS CASE Son Earns Nimble Suspence by Exhibiting "Old Man" as Curiosity. Paris—Viverlos, in Auverne, boasts of a man who for twenty-five years has preserved his father's body in a glass case in his drawing room. Jean Granet, who has just retired at the age of 70 from his post as secretary to the local mayor, keeps a museum at his house. In which are found mummies, animal and human, and grim curios connected with the undertaking business. The most gewrosse exhibit, however, is the perfectly preserved body of his father, Robert Granet. To all who pay a franc the body will disclose his father's body, explaining the minutest changes that have occurred. In order to surmount a legal difficulty Granet, whose house abuts on the local church, had a small museum constructed on the consecrated room connected by a passage with his museum. Famine Survivors Eat Each Other. Shanghai, China—One-third of the population of Chinese districts in the vicinity of Shanghai are dead as the result of the famine caused by floods last summer. Survivors are now said to be eating each other. NATIVES AWED BY, VOLCANO Region West of Cook Inlet In Alaska Mapped by Geological Survey. Name, Alaska.—The volcanoes of Alaska are not all dead, and those that smoke are held in dreadful awe by the natives. The Indians living on the west shore of Cook inlet first beheaded the building steamer nearing their village for the steamer first closing their houses so that the "demon of the volcano" which they believed was approaching, might be induced to pass by. As late as 1883 Mount Augustine, a volcanic cone which, rises 4,000 feet out of the waters of the inlet, was in the Mount Illimani, Mount Redoubt, and Mount Redoubt, high, towering above the coast range. An Active Volcano. were in eruption in 1854 and 1902, respectively. That Vulcan is still active within these mountains is attested by the persistent clouds of steam rising from their summits and by occasional light showers of volcanic dust. The natives say that Iliamna is the name of a great demon-fish which live in Lake Iliamna and is ever on the watch to destroy the unwary, so that the native who risks himself on its waters in his trail craft is accounted venturesome. The lake is, however, the largest fresh water body in Alaska, and is frequently swept by terrific gales. It is 80 miles long by 8 to 20 miles wide—somewhat larger, perhaps, than Long Island sound. Its bottom is far below sea level. North of the tributary to Iliamna lake is Clark Lake, more than 50 miles long, but narrow. This lake is 220 feet above the ocean tides, but in places than 600 feet leep. The lake has these interesting volcanoes and lakes was the scene of very early missionary endeavors and trade exploitation by the Russians. Nevertheless little exact knowledge of the region has been acquired, and that has been largely inaccessible to the public, so that the recent investigations by the United States geological survey, a report on which has just been published, should be welcome. This report describes the geographic and geologic features and the mineral resources of an area covering more than 5,000 square miles lying west of Lake Clark. The geology is treated at cooler than the prospective mineral resources, which are copper, gold, silver and petroleum. None of these minerals have yet been shipped from this district, but the region may nevertheless some day become important commercially. NEVER HEARD OF HEAVEN John and Joseph Shake Their Heads When Questioned by Judge in New York Court. New York—Rabbi Harris Platkin, who has one synagogue in Grand street, Brooklyn, and two in Manhattan, appeared in the children's court to press charges of malicious mischief against two young brothers, one aged thirteen years and the other ten. The elder of the two, John Waltukartis, was found guilty. Little Joseph was allowed to go home. John will be paid. The rabbi alleged that the two boys threw bricks at him and struck him in the head with one of them, and called him names. Judge Ryan, when examining the boys, asked them if they had ever heard of God or heaven. John and Joseph, in spite of their biblical names, shook their heads. Love by Wireless Angers Uncle Sam. Newport, R. I. The latest thing to retard official wireless communication of the naval torpedo station and ships of the Atlantic fleet is the large number of messages from girls smitten by the manly jack tars of the big ships. These maledens, living in Boston and other large cities along the coast, send the most trivial messages to their searing friends. One of the most ardent messages intercepted was from the sweetheart Jack, to "Dollah Jack," in which Jack was implored to come to Boston as soon as he could because Maggie's heart was "just melting away" for him and he hadn't kissed her for so long her "lips were dry." Captain Williams, commanding the tactical unit, received an array of the messages in a raid. $2.40 PER YEAR. OLD DICKIE HOUSE OLD DICKIE HOUSE Has Had Every President as Its Guest Except Taft. Ancient Building in Virginia Has Long Been Famous for Its Fish and Chicken Dinners—Only Dwelling Left of City. Washington—On the Virginia side of the Great Falls of the Potomac, commonly known as "the Niagara of the South," fourteen miles from Washington, is an ancient building, the Dickie house, connected with which is the pleasing tradition that every president of the United States has taken dinner beneath its roof tree, President Taft alone excepted. The old habitation, long famous for its fish and chicken dinners, is the only dwelling left of the departed City of Matildasville, that was called into being by the construction of the Potomac Company Canal, of which George Washington, after relinquishing his command at the close of the revolution, was promoter and president. Generations ago the canal was abandoned and Matildaville vanished from the map. The old Dickie house alone remains. George Washington often ate beneath its roof. When the British captured Washington in 1814 President Madison and his cabin, it is tarried for a meal before crossing, but one are said by the presidents but the original owner of the house to have sat at the table in the little dining-room when visiting the falls and to have partaken of fish and chicken cooked in a style that has made the Dickie family famous for its culinary accomplishments. Some are skeptical enough to question this claim, but it is put forth with such stress that most visitors depart strong in the faith that they have eaten a meal in a room that has been honored by the presence of all the presidents and President Taft has not taken in judgment upon a meal at Dickie's, and the absorbing ambition of the proprietor of the house is to make the list complete. Since the completion of the trolley line to the Great Falls of the Potomac this beautiful work of nature has attracted a great interest among excursionists. The trip to the falls is one of the most popular in the vicinity of the national capital. Last year, 170,000 excursionists visited the falls. In addition, thousands of other sightseers made the trip by automobile or carriage on the Maryland side. This route is far more beautiful than the one on the Virginia side, for the road winds along the river and the Cheapeake and Ohio Canal to the famous Cabin John bridge, which was built when Jefferson Davis was secretary of war. During the civil war the name "The Niagara of the South." of Jefferson Davis, which was inscribed on the bridge, was chiselled out, but a few years ago it was replaced, an episode that attracted wide interest at the time. From here the road cuts across a beautiful hilly country to the Great Falls on the Maryland side, where there is a hotel of advanced age. The falls are always changing, according to the height of the water. About a dam which holds back the water in the supply. A rise of one inch at dam makes a rise of eight inches in the water as it passes over the falls and down the gorges. The spectacle is one of great majesty. The river splits and runs around a craggy island, and the two parts rush together and pour thunderously between great rocks which split the flood into three separate waterfalls, as it tumbles over the precipice into the calyces of the water, rushing in from three angles into a pool and thence rages through a narrow gorge with perpendicular walls of granite for about a mile, where it spreads out into a placid expanse. Wants Clear Conscience New York.-That he might plead guilty to a theft in 1908 and die with a clear conscience, Daniel Loewy was carried on a stretcher into general session the other day before Judge Crain. Abraham Levy, his counsel, told the story of the robbery by Loewy of ten sable skins from his employer, the skins being valued at $1,750. Judge Crain then suspended sentence Loewy is declared by physicians to be slowly dying. He went to San Francisco in February, 1910, and while in the new Western hotel there was held up, shot and robbed by three unidentified men, who escaped. They took all the diamonds Loewy had.

It has been generally supposed that no white man is ever punished for anything he does to a black one in the South. But get that idea out of your mind. Away down in Alabama a white jury has actually convicted two white men of murder in the first degree, for killing one black man; and has given a third one, connected with the killing, life imprisonment. And that, too, in Jefferson county, where for ten years it has been impossible to convict anyone of first degree murder. These murderers enticed the black man to the woods and shot him to death, and concealed the body. As their victim was only a black man, he was not missed, and although that was about a year ago, it was only recently that the crime was discovered. It was also discovered that the murderers had seven other killings to their credit. Most of their victims were shot from ambush, some for grievances, others to close their mouths; one for the purpose of robbery and one "just for fun." Murder in Jefferson county has been a weekly incident for twenty years, and that region became known as "Bloody Beat 22." The good people of that community have just woke up, and as there are more than a dozen prisoners in the county jail charged with murder, it may be that others will get their just deserts. To which we say, amen! IS LYNCHING A CRIME? 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." THE MUSICIAN HON. CHARLES S. DENEEN. Republican Canvase for Re-election as Governor of Illinois. HON. EBED W. URNAM HON. FRED W. UPHAM. Chairman of the Chicago Committee for Managements for the Republican National Convention. 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 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 infamy. 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 warwant 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. Some folks insist that there is no such thing as luck; well, what would you call this: A woman in Milwaukee charged with vagrancy, was awaiting sentence, when she was notified that she had been made heir to $100,000 and an interest in three plantations in Louisiana. Through her attorney the charge of vagrancy was dismissed and she started for New Orleans at once, to claim her legacy. If that isn't luck, what is it? Twas a very grateful and graceful act the presenting to Captain Arthur H. Rostron, of the steamship Carpathia, the draft for $10,000 at New York last Monday. And it was equally graceful for the gallant captain to say in accepting the gift that walthew success came to him in the part he had played in the Titanic tragedy, was due to the loyalty of his crew. This shows that his heart was in the right place. 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. REDUCTION OF REPRESENTATION. The proposition to base representation in future Republican conventions upon the actual Republican vote cast is aimed at the South and means practically the disfranchisement of the Afro-American. The colored delegates ought to fight the proposition to a finish. A Japanese has been caught stealing jewelry at Princeton, N. J. Now, the logical conclusion is that every Japanese is a thief. That's the logic the Caucasians use in considering cases of stealing by Afro-Americans. THE NEGRO NATIONAL EDUCATIONAL 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 pleased to reply with your request, and appoint a delegation."—M. E. Hay, Governor of the State of Washington. She 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 prepared."—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 everything I can to assist."—R. P. Bass, Governor of New Hampshire. The following Governors have appointed their delegates: R. S. Vassey, Governor S. Dak. 3 Lee Gruce, Gov. Oklahoma 3 Earl Brewer, Gov. Mississippi 7 O. B. Colquitt, Gov. Texas 9 Albert W. Gilchrist, Gov. Florida 9 J. E. Edwards, Gov. Louisiana 1 O. West, 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 took the chief active part in its 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. Davis, of Raton, New Mexico, expects to be present. Mme. Fannie E. Motin, of Lincoln Institute, Jefferson City, Mo., will appear in the Auditorium July 16. Mrs. Julia Embry, editor of Colorado Springs Eagle, is all delegate and will come. 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. Mrs. Joseph Moore is still quite sick. Mrs. Henry Jones will be on the sick list. Mrs. E. A. Bunn has gone to Texas FOR RENT—Three-room flat for rent, first floor, 192 West Central avenue.

He has a complete stock of men's, women's and boys' shoes of the best grades for the money to be found in the city. 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-THRD, therefore a higher price must be charged for advertisements and articles published in the papers. Don't forget this. The annual sermon of Pride of the West, Queen of Sheba and St. Paul chapters O. E. A., was preached at St. James church last Sunday evening. There was a large turnout of the members of the order and a large congregation to hear the eloquent Rev. H. P. Jones who preached the sermon. Why not patronize the business houses that invite you to trade with them through their advertisements in THE APPEAL? They are helping to support your paper, show them that you believe in helping those who help you, or your enterprises. Trade with the people who advertise in THE APPEAL. Dr. Waldo Turner has received a letter from Prof. L. A. Kirksey, principal of the high school, Pensacola, Fla. who he will attend the Negro National Educational Congress Prof. Kirksey is one of the most brilliant of the younger element of educators and will be assigned to a place on the program. A "safe and sane" celebration of the "Glorious Fourth" is planned for St. Paul. Instead of the usual Harriet Island celebration for the children, there will be celebrations at Phalen Park, Dayton's Bluff, Merriam Park, Hamline and Harriet Island. Of course, the public is at liberty to attend any or all of the celebrations. Adul Baha, the Persian disciple of the propaganda of "peace and the unification of the world," is expected in St. raul the latter part of this month. Adul Baha is the leader of a religious cult that knows no man by his race or color and his advent here will be hailed with joy by all who believe in the brotherhood of man. 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. There are 44 private boxes to be sold and the large stage is to covered with an immense waxed canvas for the dancers. Mayor Herbert P. Keller was inaugurated as mayor of St. Paul for the second time last Tuesday and at the same time the members of the assembly, Board of Aldermen and officers of the Council were sworn in. The council chamber was elaborately decorated and was a veritable bower of beauty. Oscar E. Keller was re-elected president of the Assembly and E. C. Mahle vice president. Alderman Henry McColl was elected president of the City of Aldermen, and Wm. J. Troy Vice President, Assemblyman Kane was elected president of the Common Council and Alderman Hyland vice president. A large crowd was present to witness the inauguration. THE APPEAL had a very pleasant call Thursday from Mr. B. J. K. Anderson, a lay delegate to the recent M. E. General Conference. Mr. Anderson is a native of Monrovia, Liberia, where his father, now deceased, held the position of surveyor general of the "Black Republic," and he himself is a government surveyor. He has spent several days in St. Paul since the adjournment of the conference, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. O. H. Allen of St. Anthony avenue. He speaks the most gliding term of the English language and possibilities, and says that a wrong idea prevails in regard to Africa as to its unhealthfulness, lack of progressiveness, etc. Mr. Anderson is well educated and well informed in regard to Liberia and in every way is a very pleasing and interesting gentleman to meet. He left for Chicago Thursday evening. 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 the law and no law complying with THE APPEAL, but there is law complying with 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 the person who receives it is debted 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 supreme court has decided that coloring matter may be used in oleo-margarine, and now we won't know whether we are eating butter or oleo Gopher Lodge No. 145 on last Thursday evening gave a very delightful "smoker" in honor of Ames Lodge No. 106 I. B. P. O. E. W., at Elks hall. There were about seventy-five present and it was a veritable reason and a flow of soul. Past Exalted Ruler W. Hopkins Johnson was the toastmaster for the occasion. The table was spread in the large hall in the form of a Roman cross. The menu was very fine, consisting of sardines on toast, Hamm's "Preferred Stock," radishes, olives, pickles. The piece of toast was served under the sun—"Chicken a la King"—and was prepared at the hall by two chefs from Hotel St. Paul, and it proved to be from Hotel Lt. Paul, and it proved to be assorted sandwiches, "Blue Ribbon Bourbon," Roquefort cheese a la Gopher; dark coffee; Conrad's "El Paterno" cigars and cigarettes. Toasts were responded to by Wm. R. Morris, T. H. Lyles, Orri C. Hall, W. M. Scott, Dr. J. R. White and Thomas Galvin. T. I. L. x brass band and Prof. W. A. Weir and Mr. Chas. H. Miller were the entertainers and they held up their end of the log with their usual pleasure. The affair lasted a late hour and everybody had a splendid time. Mr. Will R. Crayton was master of Social Sessions and he certainly did himself proud, and everybody was pleased with the introduction he gave them to "Chickens a la King." READ THIS IF YOU OWN A LOT.

The plans for the coming Negro National Educational Congress, which will convene in St. Paul, July 15th to 19th in order to finish timely.

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, on one of the most distinguished orators in America. Dr. A. Henry Attaway, president of Edward Waters College, Jacksonville, Fla., an educator and orator of national renown. Prof. E. L.

On Tuesday evening, July 16th, the event par excellence will be given at the ORDUM or the strongest attractions, foreign and local, will be presented.

Washington wrote an article about the Carnegie heroes for a prominent magazine, but supposing more Afro-Americans would see the accounts if published in their papers, a copy has been sent to THE APPEAL, and from time to time these accounts of Afro-American heroes or whites who have risked their lives for Afro-Americans will be given. It might not be amiss to state that the last report of the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission showed that 2,667 cases have been passed upon by the commission and 583 persons have been sought one and given recognition because they risked their lives in the effort to save others from injury or death. There have been several awards to Afro-Americans since the establishment of the Hero Fund Commission and an account of one of these will be given weekly. The first is as follows: John B. Hill, aged 35, coachman, rescued Thomas S. Prescott, aged 6, and Florence Williams, aged 21, from a runaway, Atlanta, Georgia, December 1, 1905. By grabbing the bridle of a runaway team hitched to a landau containing the child and maid, Hill, after being dragged some distance, threw the horse. It fell upon him, breaking the sutches in a wound due to a recent operation. Bronze medal and $500 to reimburse him for pecuniary loss sustained on account of injuries. ```markdown ``` I WISH TO CALL YOUR-ATTENTION TO MY PROPOSITION FOR BUILDING A HOME FOR YOU (USE CUT ON THIS PAGE) IN ST.

Mason, until recently the educational secretary of the Methodist Episcopal church, received the well deserved honor from the General Conference of the church, recently held at Minneapolis. One cannot refrain from executing the low depths descended to in bringing about the defeat of Dr. Mason, another was elected to the office, the While it succeeded to the extent that expression of confidence by the Board, of which he is a member, speaks more than volumes for the integrity, the honor and nobility of the man. The confidence in Dr. Mason is so deep founded that it is a matter of wonderment as to how one would have the courage to make an attack upon him. The record of the Educational Department shows the following: Cincinnati, Feb. 21, 1912. A committee consisting of the following, Bp. Moore, Bp. Walden, Sec. Mavaty, N. L. Gatch and Dr. Lee Aultman were called to meet in the Bisham Room of the M. B. Concern at the request of Dr. Mason to consider some rumors concerning his moral character. Bp. Moore called the committee to order and on motion Dr. Lee Aultman was appointed secretary. Bp. Walden led in prayer. Dr. Jaméson moved that we express, after having gone over all the facts before us, we do not find anything against the character of Dr. Mason. Carried. The board of managers of the Freedmen's Aid Society on April 16, 1912, unanimously passed the following resolutions: Resolved. That the Board of Managers of the Freedmen's Aid Society at the time of meeting of the pudendrum, records, records high appreciation of the devoted services of our two corresponding secretaries, and rejoice in the splendid success that has attended their labors during the quarrenium. In the General Conference assembled on Saturday, May 25, those who know Dr. Mason best are better situated to judge and determine his high standing and character, offered the following resolution, which was unanimously accepted. Whereas, Dr. M. C. B. Mason has served for a period of nearly twenty years in the service of the Freedmen's Aid Society; and. Whereas, He has been one of the corresponding secretaries for four quadrenniums, thereby reducing the long standing debt of the society to approximately $35,000; and Whereas, Dr. M. C. B. Mason, one of the best products of our schools, by providing services, great lectures, inspiriting service content at our colleges and conferences and by the worthy life he has lived among us, has wrought nobly. Resolved, First, that we record our appreciation of Dr. Mason's valuable service for the uplift of our people. Resolved, Secondly, that we request the Board of Managers of The Freedman's Aid Society to continue his salary un.. the meeting of their conference. The usual rule is that general officers who are noe reelected, of the belief of their duty, the case of Dr. Mason it will be seen that a departure was taken because the doctor so well deserved the exception. * * * EUREKA ASSEMBLY NO.1.
