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. 25. GRANADA, NEGLECTED CANADA GLEC GRANADA,AMERICA'S NEGLECTED SHRINE OST Americans associate the name of Granada with but one thing—the Alhambra, the world-sung fairy palace of the Moors. Boadilh, its last king, is the genius loci, and they are prepared to shed a sentimental tear over his fate. Most Spanish associates adornada with Christopher Columbus, for them the city is consecrated and being been the turning point in the fortunes of the great navigator. Here it was—but not until he had followed the court for seven weary years—that Columbus at last secured the long coveted personal interview with Isabella. Here it was that the agreement giving him vessels and men, "the greatest parchment that ever sovereign put ink to," was drawn up. And here "given in our city of Granada," according to the old phraseology, his letter of privileges was drafted, wherein Don Fernando and Dona Isabelle said in part: Here it was—but not until he court for seven weary years—last secured the long coveted p with Isabella. Here it was the giving him vessels and men, "tit ment that ever sovereign put in up.

But the old letter of privileges still exists, with its cramped signatures, "I, the King; "I, the Queen." and its cryptic, almost illegible, Christopher Columbus. It is dated "Granada, the thirtieth day of April, in the year of the Nativity of Our Lord Jesus." For one who has seen it and the other document issued from the same city, the old stronghold of the Moora has a new meaning—the meaning it has for the Spanish. Granada, lying in the midst of a rich plain under the ever snow-capped range of the Sierra Nevada, is magnificent enough scenically to be worth a visit even had there been no Boadill or no Columbus. It became important historically only when, in the middle of the thirteenth century, the Moors had been pushed south out of the rest of Spain. From then until 1492 they held it as an independent kingdom (though constantly dissolving their strength in civil feuds). Except sentimentally, with capital never amounted to much, writers of "the historical history" to the contrary. It could not be considered the earlier glories of Cordova, once the home of art and science—of all the rich exotic culture of the Arabs, as well as an intellectual center for Aryan civilizations. In short, Granada created nothing but its stucco palace; and of this palace it may be truthfully said that it has never deserved the "gush" which certain authors, in imitation of Arabian hyperbole, have lavished upon it. The Spanish Moors were, it is true, supreme decorative artists who could cover acres of flat surface with painted stucco-duro, walnscot it with glazed tiles of extraordinary beauty, honeycomb its cellings with wonderful stalacite pendentives, and never themselves in a single motive! The Alhambra itself is satisfactory to look at from the exterior, where its sovereign crumbling towers rise from the incomparably beautiful Alhambra or public garden on the hillside, than from the interior, where one roams and roams through its courts in vain search of some small area that has not been crudely "restored." It was on January 2, 1492, that the banners of Castle and Aragon floated above the fortress and Isabella and Ferdinand fixed their thrones in the richly decorated Hall of the Ambassadors (Sala de los Embajadores). All Christendom rejoiced at the news of this victory and a special Te Deum was sung in St. Paul's, London, by order of Henry VII. Columbus had arrived in Granada the day before and witnessed this memorable surrender. He had come from Palos, a town which plays a part second only to Granada in his checkered quest for alm. Poor and sfoot, he was travelling through Palos in his way to Huelva, where he intended leaving his little son with an aunt while he went on to France to ask the help that Spain had defended against them, were passing the old Convent of La Rabida he stopped to ask for a drink for the thirty child.

This one man, as he looked upon the newly acquired city, was dreaming of realms far vaster that he would add to Spain would she but give him the means; and he went through the mountains of Granada pensive and preoccupied, awaiting a chance to conquer. When it came he did not present himself as a humble suppliant, but rather as a man who had gifts to confer: "I only ask for a few ships and a few sailors to traverse between two and three thousand miles of ocean to the west.

He asked in amazement if she would let the patry sum Columbus demanded deprive her and Spat in immeasurable glory; he would not the expire the expire Santangel "is a million maravedi!" (between three and five thousand dollars), and he straightway offered to advance the money. This generous offer seems to have plied its royal hearer into proper contempt for the court'siggardiness. Also it put an end to her misgivings and to her deference to Ferdinand's opinion. For the first time the scheme broke upon her in all its grandeur and the palace wall that songs now rang to her stirring cry: "I will undeake this enterprise for my own kingdom of Castle! And if its treasury is empty I will convert my jewels into the necessary money." So messengers were dispatched instantly to bring Columbus back. They overtook him some ten miles off, just as he was crossing the Bridge of Pinos—a fine little stone structure with turrets and abutments, massively built, for the Cubillas has great volume there in spring. This Pinos, an ancient Roman town, is pretty situated at the foot of the Sierre de Elvira. It has been the scene of many a bloody encounter between Moslem and Christian. In 1319 the Castilians suffered defeat there at the hands of the Moors, both the rover Don Pedro and Don Juan, being killed. But Pinos's date is 1492, when a lonely traveler on mulback, chased on how large a part of his life had worn away and must still wear away in fruitless solicits, was halted on the bridge by the queen's messengers and brought back to Granada. That bridge more than any other spot in Europe(save perhaps the convent of La Rabida) should be held sacred by Americans. Yet few take the trouble to visit it, though many climb to the spot in the mountain now called "The Moor's Last Sigh." Columbus, soul-sick of royal promises, needed much urging ere he left the little bridge and turned back; but when next he rode his mule out of Granada his head and his hopes were high, heart sang; the capitulations had been signed at the heart and he carried in his pocket an order to the citizen; the little port of Palos to furnish him with ships. Thus this most momentous and adventurous journey ever cored in history may truly be considered to have begun in Granada. Today this city of so many memories is described as a "living ruin." But even the city itself has suffered mildly mildly compared with the Alhambra. Charles V., Isabella's grandson, pulled down a large portion of it in order to erect his still unfinished Renaissance residence. The Sala de Mocarabes and the Court of Llons were injured and exploded just a hundred years after Columbus and them. In 1718 Philip V. took for his personal use the revenues formerly assigned for the preservation of the Alhambra and the famous building fell into total neglect. Down below the hilltop, in the city itself, dirt and decay reign where the Moorish nobility had palaces. The Spanish, immediately after their siege, some fine buildings, principally the superb Gothic building as the mausoleum of Ferdinand and Isabella. But these, too, are in sad need of preservation. Ferdinand and his grandes found it preposterous and the man who asked it impertinent. Their objections are not at when we reflect that "admiral" was an hereditary title in Spain, carrying with it honors that were almost princely; and, being noted for their deference to etiquette, they hated seeing an Italian seaman made one of their number. They asked for more moderate terms; but Columbus was told that he would be saddling his mule and starting again for France. And while he was heading despondently over the vega Isabella sat sorely troubled, and asked her husband if there was no way of meeting the would-be explorer's demands. "No," answered Ferdinand coldly; "the royal BUILDINGS IN CHINA Homes and Temples Have Original and Unique Style. Ideas Were Not Borrowed—Basis of Construction, Both External and Internal, is That of the Nomad's Tent. Pekin, China—Isolated from other nations by geographical barriers, such as seas, deserts, and mountains ranges, the Chinese developed a civilization which was entirely their own. Their customs, arts and sciences were indigenous and original. They borrowed little or nothing from other people, but built upon their own foundations. The architecture of the Chinese is typical of the originality of their civilization; it contains no borrowed elements, no exotic features. The Chinese houses exhibit features which can be traced directly back to the tents of the barbarian ancestors of the Chinese, who wandered into China from the west. The roof of a Chinese house, though made of rafters and tiles, still retains the shape of a tent. It hangs in graceful curves and is caught up at the corners like canvases. It does not rest upon the walls of the house, but upon wooden pillars, which are placed in the same position as the poles of a man. The process of construction reminds the builder of a tent; the pillars and the roof are erected first and the walls are filled in afterward. It is not only externally but internally that the Chinese house reminds one of a tent. There is no ceiling to hide the inner surface of the sloping roof and its supporting rafters. Instead of a wooden floor there is only a layer of bricks to cover the cold earth. The brick floor is covered with mats and rugs, which also remind one of a tent. The furniture is portable that makes one think of the desert. Most of the movables in a Chinese house, even the bed, are carried on the back of a camel or carried a pole. A Chinese house is a composite affair, consisting of a number of buildings arranged around squares Chinese Architecture. or courtyards, much as one would pitch tents around campfires. Comparing the buildings of the Chinese with those of the ancient Egyptians we find that Chinese architecture is weakest in that quality which the Egyptian buildings possessed in the highest degree of stability. The buildings of the Egyptians were satisfying and restful to look upon because they had the appearance of being built to stand till donday. Those of the Chinese, on the contrary, seem to have been built for one generation only. The Greeks were the first people to produce a type of architecture which combined delicacy of design and stability such a way as to secure a maximum height. The quality of purity, for which the Greek architecture has been so much praised, is also characteristic of the Chinese. The buildings of the Chinese display no unnecessary or exotic features. They are true to themselves and have borrowed no elements from other styles. The roof, with its graceful curves, is the most beautiful part of a Chinese house. In fact, besides the Japanese, who have learned from them, the only people who build beautiful buildings. Following out the theory that one can build much of a good thing, they often ornament their buildings with several roofs, one above the other, thus producing a very beautiful effect.

STILL HOLDS APACHES Only Six of Tribe Ever Fought Government, but All Held in Bitter Captivity. Phoenix, Ariz.—In the early 80's Colorado-Magnus, Victoria, and Gocheh had made the very name Apache a synonym of terror, and then came Geronimo, the superlative savage. Neither sentiment nor friendly feeling can minimize the shocking cruelties of his career, which history has recorded as the high-water mark of bloodthirsty brutality. The extreme hatred and fear felt toward him in the southwest may be guessed from the following incidents. Some years ago the writer was a member of a little group gathered at a ranch in the desert near Phoenix, Ariz., when the conversation turned to Geronimo and his recent conversion to the Christian faith. A lady of the party, the wife of a prominent citizen, immediately flushed with anger and burst out hotly: "If I should "Civilized" Apache. see Jacob's ladder let down from heaven, with the angels walking up and down, and Geronimo with his harp in the middle, still I would not believe that he was a Christian." When asked to explain the intensity of her feelings, she said: "When I a young girl I lived at Tombstone, it, in rooms over the understaker's apartment, and from time to time had to go to help prepare the mutilated and desecrated bodies of Apache victims, and you needn't talk about Geronimo being a Christian." This is the sentiment of most of the old-timers—so much so, indeed, that the war department never thought it safe, even in his later years, for the old man to return to Arizona. Let us then be fair and admit the untold and untellable miseries inflicted by him and his band in those dreadful days of raid and massacre. However, did the space of this article allow, we might tell of brilliant generalship, dauntless courage and incredible endurance on the part of the leader and his band, that forced the United States army and their Mexican and Indian allies into one of the most difficult campaigns in the history of Indian warfare—a campaign that tested to the utmost men like Crook, Wilkes, Lawton and Chaffee, and to an end only when, exhausted by the war, they marched through mountains and deserts, the bedraggled fragments of the worn-out band of men, women and children came in and surrendered. No man who fought in that campaign will sneer at the Apache as a soldier. REINDEER QUEEN OF ALASKA Woman Successfully Competes With Men in Breeding Animals—She Speaks Eight Languages. Name, Alaska—When a woman in an enlightened country makes her way to a front rank in the industrial world, fact soon becomes known, and people are amazed at something of the conditions that brought about and of the character of the one who accomplished it. That a woman with a brown skin should also successfully compete with the men of her race is less generally understood. Out of the 260 Eskimos who own reindeer in Alaska, two are women. One of these, Mary Arisarlook Andrewk, has received the title of "Reindeer Queen of Alaska." "Queen Mary" owns a herd of 1,302 sheep who she manages with judgment and intelligence. According to the usual contract with the government she is required to train apprentices and to give to each the customary number of deer. She has done better than this. She has trained and rewarded eight or ten apprentices, and at the present time has another under her care. She long since discarded the igloo, or native hut, half underground, in which she was born, and is now comfortably housed near Nome, in a cabin of logs. She speaks seven or eight Indian languages, and this has enabled her to be of considerable service as an interpreter. She has brought up a number of helpers, children, and having none of her own, but not only cared for them physically, but also given them a place in her heart. Surely, according to her light, "she hath done her part." Chicago—Mrs. Margaret Toole left her pet cat with Charles A. Miner when she went away on a visit.

Brewster and Bradford, Who Formed Resolution of Going to Holland, Were Apprehended and Placed in Boston Edinburgh. London. — The tower of Boston church in Lincolnshire stands proud and queenlike, its foot all but lapped by the salt spray of the Wash. Isle is Boston—the Boston which tourists from the greater city of Massachusetts carry home in the mind's vision. Yet from several points of view the grand old church, in spite of its lofty pinnacles and sweet carillon, is less interesting and less an embodiment of the local past than a building a hundred yards away, which is barilike by comparison. This is the old Guild-hall where she disused for municipal assemble and now to be turned into a town's museum as a memorial to the late King. It still possesses a grave dignity. You can conjure up the day when it was the house of the Guild of the Blessed Mary—Queen Mary the Tudor—and had a table of alabaster two yards in length, above which were "five candlesties hanging like pots." The deserted banqueting hall makes it easy to imagine the prodigal way in which toasts were honored here in old world November when the corporation of this ancient borough had a prestige few others could rival. The great west window is still filled with early tracery and some remnants of the ancient stained glass. And the ample hearths and the kitchen is the appetizing spit. And there is something less jovial than a spit in the kitchen. It holds a number of prison cells. The writer fitted himself into the cramped space of one of them, and the gate was clamped to; but he had no such sighing of the heart as some others must have felt 300 years ago. A vague tradition has it that John Cotton, vicar of Boston, and leader of the Puritans in the new world, was im- Corner of Old Boston Church. prisoned here. I have it on the authority of a Boston minister, who knows the story of the Guildhall through and through, that the tradition is baseless. Indeed, was John Cotton ever imprisoned anywhere? Nevertheless, these cruel stones are sacred to the Pilgram Fathers. It is part of history that some of the Separatists, including William Brewster and William Bradford, formed the resolution of going from Boston to Holland by a Dutch sloop. They were apprehended at the point of sailing, and lodged, not without contumely, in these very cells. The cells were in the nature of a place of retention while the prisoners were awaiting the magistrates, rather than an actual dungeon in which they served a sentence. But it was a heartbreaking experience for the elders, meaning months of confinement for some of them. Brewster suffered the most. It is strange by what threads the present is bound to the distant past. A few paces from this very Guildhill there is another illustration of time's whirliglis. At the back of a timber yard is the red-brick Hussey tower, a structure about as old as the ill-fated Tattershall cast, ten miles away. The owner was Sir John Hussey, who was beheaded by Henry VIII. for high treason. At about the same period a sum of money was left by a member of the Hussey family for the education of black slaves, and, strangely enough, the fruits of that legacy have quite recently been applied to the work of Ka-Ka Kum, in Africa. That old tower, with its broken parapet, and the land about it, is a medieval bequeathment, assisting the Regions Beyond Missionary union.

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 mur- der. 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 oniy re- cently that the crime was discovered. It was also discovered that the mur- derers 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 rob- bery and one “fust 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 com- munity 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! 1S LYNCHING A CRIME? ‘The question, Is lynching an acci- Gent?” 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.” ma OUR FRIEND PRESIDENT TAFT, Who Will Be Renominated on the First Ballot by the Republican National Convention. pee on wed * ee a ’ Xv HON. FRANKLIN McVEAGH. The Square Deal Secretary of the. United States Treasury, in Whose De- partment there are more than 1,400 Afro-American Employes, Whose annual salaries aggregate more than $1,000,000. There Is never any discrimination. on account of color. Promotions are made on morit. . Afro-Americans Grateful for His Square Deal Policy. 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 Civoree. 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 con- vince any one of the growth of race prejudice in this country it may be found in the widespread interest in segregation of the races in cities. The plan of restricting Afro-Ameri- cans to certain neighborhoods has been adopted in many of the smaller cities of the South, but Baltimore is the largest city in which the plan has been enacted into law.” Samuel L. West, who enjoys the un- enviable distinction of “being the au- thor of the infamous West segrega- tion ordinance, announces that he has sent copies of his race segregation law from the Atlantic to the Pacific eceans. He says that there is a de- ‘wand for information from every part of the country and he is kept busy sending copies and replying to ques- tions about the working of the law. ‘The law works injustice to both races, but West seems to glory in his in- famy. SAUCE FOR THE GANDER, SAUCE FOR THE GOOSE. Mrs, Mary Dubal of Birmingham, N. Y., Is believed to be the first suffra- gist in the United States to be given a penitentiary sentence for husband- beating. She was arrested on a war- want obtained by Mr. Dubal, who com- asined hue wk BH or vouyOhe cae ‘him a sound beating. City Judge Al- bert Hotchkiss declared that if wom. en desired men's prerogatives, they should also lave men’s punishments. He always dealt severely with wife beaters, he said, and accordingly sen. tenced her to ,three ‘months in the penitentiary, Now, ladies, will you be zopd? If this is a Christian age, and the people of the United States are civ- ‘ized 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 Chris- tian stands for is away off. Of course, these were white Christlans(2) and their vietim was white, but that docs 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 thelr white brothers in, this way is almost sabe eoanie’ Some folks insist that there is no such thing as luck; well, what would you call this: A woman in Milwaukee charged witl 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? Away back in 1881 John B, Kirchell, of Kingston, N. Y., made a wager to never cut his hair or shave his whis kers 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. THE NEGRO NATIONAL EDUCA- TIONAL CONGRESS. inn’ Nesto National Congress is cre- ating a great deal of interest in the various states in the Union, and is in- dorsed by many Governors, and the following expressions are in common with sentiment of the rest: “I will take great pleasure in nam- ing a delegation to the Negro National Educational Congress.”—Wm, Hodges Mann, Governor of Virginia. “I am pleased to reply with your Fequest, and appoint a delegation.”— /M.

HOT TIME FOR DELINQUENTS. We clip the following from one of our exchanges to warn our delinquent subseribers what a hot time they will have if they fail to pay thelr news: paper 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 1 just glance in at the other place be- Tore we ascend to eternal happiness?” So they went below and skirmishing around, taking in the sights. It so happened that the angel lost track of the editor and went around Hades hunting him, He found him sitting by an enormous furnace, fanning him: self and gazing with ‘rapture upon a crowd of lost souls in the fire. Over the furnace was a sign bearing the words, “Delinquent subseribers,” ‘Come,’ said the angel, ‘we must be going now.’ ‘You go’ on," said the editor, “Im not going.

GAS LIG and Jackson St Defective Page THE NEGRO NATIONAL EDUCA- TIONAL CONGRESS. To Bring Many Distinguished Members 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 inclusive, are progressing finely. There was a meeting 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 orators in America. 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, foreign and local, will be presented. This will be THE EVENT OF ALL EVENTS, and the indications are that many persons will be present. Wednesday evening, with 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 enterestion at the auditorium, and it will doubtless eclipse all formations. All that is necessary is for every one to boost to make this the biggest occasion ever in St. Paul. EDUCATIONAL CONGRESS NOTES. BOXES—While no boxes will be ACTUALLY SOLD until the opening of the box office at the Auditorium, July 11th, at 10 a. m., persons who really intend to buy boxes may have their names placed on a "reservation list" at the office of Dr. J. R. White, Suite 15, Stees block, corner of Jackson and Seventh streets, by depositing $1, and on the opening of the box office, by depositing these persons, if present, either in person or by representative, will, as their names are called in their order on the list, be allowed to choose their boxes. There will be 3 stage boxes at $15 each, 4 stage boxes at $12.50 each and all other boxes $10 each. If any person whose name is on the "reservation list" is not present or represented when his name is called that name be passed and placed at the bottom very anxiously to get on the list soon, as ten persons have already declared their intention of taking boxes. So get busy or blame yourself if you can't get what you want.

On last Wednesday morning Paul Preston, aged 12 years, was run down by an automobile and was so badly crushed that he shortly afterward died. The coroner investigated and found that the accident was unavoidable. The deceased is a son of Mr. F. P. Preston, who recently moved to this city from Minneapolis. The funeral will be held at Bethesda Baptist church, Minneapolis, on Monday, at 2 o'clock; interment at Lakewood, Minneapolis. Lyles, funeral director. Six St. Paul boys will act as pall bearers. Acting under a sympathetic and philanthropic spirit, a number of the waiters of the city subscribed to purse for the benefit of their fellow waiter, Mr Wm. England, who was so sadly bereaved of wife and son last Monday, and some money was raised. The action of these gentlemen coming to the knowledge of Mr. England, and not desiring to rest under the alleged imputation that the money was to be used in defraying the funeral expenses of his wife, he declined to receive the money and it will be returned to the church, England, however, fully appreciates the service that prompted the movement, and the kindly spirit in which it was started, and he thanks all who subscribed. He desires also to thank the friends who in any way aided him by word or deed in connection with his late bereavement. Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Johnson, 526 St. Anthony avenue, on last Saturday evening entertained at six o'clock dinner, Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Hilyer, Mr. Gale Hilyer, Miss Kathleen Hilyer, of Washington, D. C.; Mrs. R. S.

Coloridge Taylor, "A Blood Red Ring." Prior to the singing Mrs. W. T. Francis read the song, Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Lyles sang a duet; Miss Margaret Douglass of St. Louis and Miss Adina Adams rendered piano selections. Mrs. Hilyer also introduced a folk dance which was quite pleasing, in which most of those present took part.

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 they risked their lives in the effort to give 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 sitches in a wound due to a recent operation. Bronze megal 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 (SEE CUT ON THIS PAGE) IN ST.
