BENJAMIN FRANKLIN INCE we bent over our childhood histories we have always had an idea that our fathers severed the ties with Great Britain on the Fourth of July, 1776, and we have had the word of no less authority than Thomas Jefferson, the author of that hallowed instrument, that the Declaration was signed on that date, on whose anniversary the great father of INCE we bent over our childhood histories we have always had an idea that our fathers severed the ties with Great Britain on the Fourth of July, 1776, and we have had the word of no less authority than Thomas Jefferson, the author of that hallooled instrument, that he persecution was signed on that date on whose, and versary the great father of democracy died. But William H. Michael, chief clerk and historian of the department of state, says no, and for years he has toiled for his country beneath the same roof which shelters the sacred document; has had the nation's archives at his fingers' ends. "The independence of the United States was declared by resolution on the 2nd of July, and the adoption of the form of declaration on the 4th of July was a secondary matter," says Mr. Michael. "It is a little strange that more importance was not attached to the 2d of July in connection with the Declaration of Independence, which resolution introduced by Richard Henry Lees, which declared our independence, was passed on that day (July 2, 1776). This was really the vital point—the crucial juncture." The real act of independence, which Mr. Michael has had reproduced in fac-simile, was, then, the Lee resolution, declaring: "That these united colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent states; that they are absolved from all allegiance to the Union own, and that all political connection between them and the state of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dissolved." Concerning the actual date of the Declaration's signing, Mr. Michael says: "Mr. Jefferson in his account states that all the members present, except Mr. Dickinson, signed the Declaration in the evening of the Fourth of July. The journal shows that no one signed it that evening except Mr. Hancock and Mr. Thomson. The journal entry is by order and in behalf of Congress, John Hancock, President. Attest, Charles Thomson, Secretary.' . . . On August 2 the Declaration, as engrossed under the order of Congress, was signed by all of the members of Congress present." What really did happen on July 4 of that year of years was the final adoption of a draft of the "form of announcing the fact to the world" that independence had been decreed two days before. Jefferson had written this draft in his Philadelphia apartments, consisting of a ready-furnished parlor and bedroom in the new brick house of Hyrum and Market streets, "on the west corner of Seventh and Market streets, "on the west corner of the city." The Penn national bank, now occupying the site of this dwelling, is in the very business heart of Philadelphia. What really did happen on July 4 of that year of years was the final adoption of a draft of "form of announcing the fact to the world" independence had been decreed two days before Jefferson had written this draft in his Phila Hymn and sent it to the parlor and bedroom in the new brick house Hymn Grazat at the southwest corner of Sove and Market streets, "on the outskirts of the city The Penn national bank, now occupying the of this dwelling, is in the very business heart Philadelphia. Jefferson's digest on the Jefferson's disgust at the changes made in his draft is described by Mr. Michael. The Continental Congress struck out the language charging the king with inciting "treasonable insurrections with out fellow-citizens," by promising them confiscated property; with carrying on the slave trade and refusing to allow American legislatures to suppress it. While these and many other clauses were being stricken out of his draft "Jefferson sat in his seat without raising his voice in defense of his own work, notwithstanding he writhited in agony as he saw some of his most cherished paragraphs and sentences eliminated from the document." The historian, John Adams, otherwise a critic of the Declaration, complained that some of the draft's best parts, particularly that indicting the king for continuing the slave trade, should not have been stricken out. "Yet it will be well to remember." Mr. Michael said, "and South Carolina we both relying on the slave trade at this time as energetically as they were able, and other colonies had profited largely by the traffic. Hence it was ridiculous to arraign the king for doing the same thing." After very heated discussions of this form of announcing Congress' real stroke of independence, on July 2—discussions which kept Independence Hall, Philadelphia, in a whirl of excitement throughout the next two days—this form of announcement, the Declaration of Independence, was adopted on the night of July 4. At the close of that evening's session Charles Thomson, secretary of the Continental Congress, went to the shop of John Dunlay, the official printer, and had the correct draft set up. Copies of this first "broadside print" were sent to the assemblies, conventions and councils of safety throughout the colonies and to the commanding officers of the militant troops. It is probable that it was one of the first names of Hancock and Thomson only, that George Washington ordered proclaimed at the head of the Continental regiments. But the "original Declaration," which all pilgrims to Washington formerly gased upon in awe and reverence, was not ordered written for more than two weeks after that long but unjustly hallowed July 4. On July 19 Congress ordered that the Declaration be "fairly engrossed on parchment," and that "the same, when engrossed be signed by every member of Congress." Some time within the next two weeks the beautiful penwork which thousands of Americans have since THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY; JUNE 29, 1912 WHERE CORNWALL'S SURRENDERER © BY B. L. COWNIE Twenty-four of the signers were lawyers, fourteen agriculturists, four physicians, nine merchants, one a manufacturer, one a clergyman and three had prepared for the calling of clergyman, but had chosen other vocations, according to Mr. Michael. Heaven seems to have rewarded them generally with long life, for three lives to be over 90 for over 60, and for three eleven over 50, and six over 44, although one, Thomas Lynch, Jr., was accidentally drowned at sea when only 30. Thus the average age of the signers was over 62 years. What has happened to the famous Declaration since its signing is recounted by Mr. Michael. In 1789, Congress authorized "the secretary for the department of foreign affairs" to take charge of it, along with other records, books and papers of the Continental Congress. The same year the department of state, which has, to all intents and purposes, remained the depository of the Declaration ever since. The great document; was from 1841 to 1877, however, deposited in the patent office, for many years a bureau of the department of state, and was allowed to remain there after the patent office was placed under the interior department, the old department of state not being fireproof, while the patent office building was believed to be so. After that and since, navy building was finished the declaration was returned to its legal depository. INDEPENDENCE Until 1804 the Declaration was framed and displayed in a steel cabinet in the library of the department of state, where all visitors might see it, but in that year it was hermetically sealed in a frame and placed in a wooden cabinet constructed to protect also the original signed copy of the Constitution. Here the Declaration still remains, locked and sealed by order of Secretary Hay, and it is no longer shown to any one, except by his direction. A complete collection of biographies and artistic portraits of the signers of the Declaration has been made by Mr. Michael for his work, which will be distributed only through members of Congress. Only by direct correspondence extending over many years and great personal effort has Mr. Michael obtained the portraits of Button, Gwinnett, John Hart and Thomas Lynch, of whom it was hitherto believed there were no likenesses in existence. Most of the portraits are after Trumbull and the one of Benjamin Harrison, by this artist, had to be painted after Harrison's death from minute personal descriptions furnished by relatives and friends who approved the finished likeness. instance.

On August 2, 1776, just a month after the real stroke of independence, this great sheepskin was unrolled in the presence of the Continental Congress, in Independence Hall. With the wording of the corrected draft it was carefully "compared with the revised als formality gone through with it was spread out on the floor, but all of the members of Congress present. Fifty of these fathers of the republic signed on that day. Six of the revered "signers" did not affix their signatures until later dates. George Wythe of Virginia signed about August 27. Richard Henry Lee, Virginia; Elbridge Gerry, Massachusetts, and Walcott Connecticut, did not affix their signature until November, and member M. Matthew Thornton of New Hampshire did not name until November, and Thomas McKean of Delaware probably did not affix his, the final signature, until five years later, or 1781. Matthew Thornton, by the way, was not appointed to Congress until November—four months after the adoption of the Declaration. Other signers who no members of Congress on July 2 or 4, but were signed on August 2, the general signing day, were Benton James, James Wilson, George Ross, George Clermont. The Sage of Monticello "The Sage of Monticello" is the nickname that was applied to Thomas Jefferson for the same season and in much the same manner as Daniel Webster, the first governor of the state held." Jefferson won the title of "sage" for the many glorious truths he uttered, and as Webster loved every inch of the ground of the beautiful Cape Cod village of Marshfield, and its calm scenery he believed gave him just such inspiration as he needed, so at Monticello, Jefferson's Virginia estate, the great statesman found the most delightful retreat from his labors, and the essence of contentment, which inspired him to larger, greater and more beneficial things for the betterment of his country. Jefferson was born at Shadwell, the homestead of the family, near Charlottesville, Va. When that estate was destroyed by fire in 1770, along with its furniture, books and his law papers, he sought out another location which was even more delightful to him. About two miles from the Shadwell town, he named by Jefferson, Monticello (little mount), an eminence commanded a view of surprising architecture and he chose this place as the site of a mansion that should embody his ideas of architecture—an art up to which he expended much thought and in which he was more than an amateur. After the fire the building of a new house upon his "little mount" was pushed rapidly, and in something more than a year a section was made ready for occupancy. In 1772 Jefferson married and brought to his new mansion Martha Skelton, a childless widow of 22. In a letter written from Paris in 1786 to Mrs. Conway, Jefferson, referring to his home, said: "And our own dear Monticello, where nature has spread so rich a mantle under the eye? Mountains, forests, rocks, rivers. With majesty do we there ride above the storms to look down into the workhouse of nature, the heath clouds, hall, snow, rain, thunder, all fabricated at our feet! And the glorious sun when rising it out of a distant water, just gliding the tops of the mountains, and giving life to all nature." Jefferson's public life began in 1769, when he took his seat as a member of the Virginia house of burgesses. He was twenty-six years of age at the time. This was only a little more than two years previous to his occupancy of Monticello, which he called his home during the remainder of his life. Therefore all the great things in the life of this great American were centered about this "little mount," and next to the home of Washington Mount Vernon, the home of Jefferson at Monticello, both in the same state, is one of the great American shrines. "The Sage of Monticello" is the nickname that was applied to Thomas Jefferson for the same reason and in much the same manner as Daniel Webster was given the title "The Sage of Marshfield." Jefferson won the title of "sage" for the many glorious truths he uttered, and as Webster loved every inch of the ground of the beautiful scenery of Monticello, he scenery he believed gave him just such inspiration as he needed, so at Monticello, Jefferson's Virginia estate, the great statesman found the most delightful retreat from his labors, and the essence of contentment, which inspired him to larger, greater and more beneficial things for the betterment of his country. Jefferson was born at Shadwell, the homestead of his father, the architect of Monticello. When that estate was destroyed by fire in 1770, with its furniture, books and his law papers, he sought out another location which was even more attractive to him. About two miles from the Shadwell house was a hill named by Jefferson, Monticello (little mount). This eminence commanded a view of surprising beauty, and he chose this place as the site for a mansion that should this he expended of architecture—an art upon which he extended the land and in which he was more than an amateur. After the building of a new house upon his "little mount" was pushed rapidly, and in something more than a year a section was made ready for occupancy, Why two Georgia members did not sign is explained by Mr. Michael. One of these, Rev. John Joachim Zubly of Savannah, as soon as it became apparent that independence was to be declared, had fled post haste from Philadelphia to Georgia with the intention of apprising Sir James Wright, the crown governor of Georgia, of what was going on behind the closed doors of independence Hall. Zubly's conduct have excited suspicion, he had been closely watched, and one of his letters to the British governor had been seized. It appearing beyond doubt that he was aware of the secrets of the executive sessions, then so eagerly planning the stroke for liberty, he had been asked to peridy on the floor of the Congress by Samantha Kee, member from Maryland. Zubly had denied these charges, and challenged proof. It had been the fainting of this proof that had caused his flight. The congress directed John Houston, another Georgia deponent to follow Zubly and circumvent his evil purposes. By the time both members reached Georgia, however, the crown governor had been deposed by the people, and had taken refuge in an armed British vessel lying in Savannah harbor. Thus Zubly's treachery came to naught, but it cheated Houston out of his opportunity to sign the Declaration, and left Georgia with only three instead of five signers. Why Houston did not sign with the other tardy members is not discussed in the book, but his name should be as endeared to the Americans as any of the actual signers. Zubly on the way, after being banished from Georgia, with the loss of Half of his estate, was allowed to return to his pastoral work in Savannah, which city honors him by allowing two highways to bear his name - Joachim and Zubly streets. In 1772 Jefferson married and brought to his new mansion Martha Skelton, a child widow of 22. In a letter written from Paris in 1786 to Mrs. Maria Conway, Jefferson, referring to his home, said: "And our own dear Monticello, where has nature spread so rich a mantle under the eye? Mountains, forests, rocks, rivers. With what majesty do we there ride above the storms. How sublime to look down into the workhouse of nature, to see her clouds, hall, snow, rain, thunder, all fabricated at our feet! And the glorious sun when rising as if out of a distant water, just gliding the tops of the mountains, and giving life to all nature." Jefferson's public life began in 1769, when he took his seat as the member of the Virginia house of burgeses. He was two years more of age at the time. This was only a little more than two years previous to his occupancy of Monticello, which he called his home during the remainder of his life. Therefore all the great things in the life of this great American were centered about this "little mount," and next to the home of Washington at Mount Vernon, the home of Jefferson at Monticello, both in the same state, is one of the great American shrines. Defective Page AN IDEAL ISLAND Romance of Centuries Hangs About Porto Rico One Hundred Years Before Jamestown Arose From Wilderness the Spaniards Were Living on This Gem of the Indies. San Juan, Porto Rico—Quantt and pictureque and heavy with the romance of four centuries as a possession of the superstitious and fery Spaniard is Porto Rico, to which Edward M. Balniter, principal of the Central high school of this city, goes next month as commissioner of education. As the reader is aware, Porto Rico became a colony of the United States at the end of the Spanish-American war and a wonderful development has taken place in the tropical island the 14 years before. Porto Rico had been settled a century by Europeans before Jamestown was founded or the Dutch sailed up the Hudson river. The second century had begun before the Pilgrim fathers waded from the Mayflower to the dry Massachusetts shores. It associated with its early history are the names of Juan Ponce de Leon, Nicholas de Ouando, Diego, Columbus, Drake, Hawkins, Lord Cumberland, Salazar, Sotomayer and others whose struggles with the rebelries and marauding Carbis, pirates and hunters, attacked on the primitive city of San Juan; other more defenseless settlements furnish a story replete with adventure, warfare and romance. Christopher Columbus touched at Porto Rico on his second famous voyage to the new world. Poice de Leon, he of the search for the waters of everlasting youth, built the first town upon it and called it San Juan. San Juan became the capital of the island in 1508, and today holds the same position. It is a typical Spanish city. If the traveler is fortunate he will sail into San Juan bay in the early morning when, against a gorgeous tropical sunrise, the blue sky the gray and moss covered walls the white parapets of Casa Blanca and the many tinted dwellings rising terrace like from the bay to the heights overlooking the sea form a riot of colors. On the other side of the harbor vivid green cane fields, interspersed with Luxuriant Vegetation in Porto Rico. dark tinted palms, the soft colors of an occasional settlement and the back ground range upon range of hills still enveloped in the purple shadows of the dawn, complete the beauty of the scene. The sound of the sunrise gun booms forth from the grim and battle scarred ramparts of old Morro, the impregnable fortress which the cannon balls of many nations have failed to crumble, as the ship approaches the narrow entrance to the land lock, the gray and ancient city wall, its height the barracks, Casa Blanca, the residence of the military commander and Santa Catalina palace, now the headquarters of the civil administration and the residence of the governor of the island, in which Mr. Bainter will have a home, the vessel threads its way between buoys marking the channel. Across the harbor the quantitary value of Calaca is seen in a grove of coconuts, and along the beach Catano, another small village, the delicately tinted houses from a distance adding to the charm of the picture. WOMAN IS CHASED BY MOOSE Husband Kills Animal, Which, it is Believed, Escaped From the Whitney Preserve. Pittsfield, Mass.—As Mrs. Lawrence Clement was leaving her house at Becket recently a big bull moose suddenly appeared in the front yard and chased her into the barn. She was so frightened she fell to the barn floor in a faint. Mr. Clement, who is a constable, was near by and hastened by a back route to the house for his shotgun. He killed the moose as it darted for a thicket. The moose weighed at least one thousand pounds. Mrs. Clement was under the care of a physician tonight. It escaped from Harry Payne Whitney's preserve, on October mountain, last fall.

CALL THAMES 'LONDON' RIVER Ballons See Stream That Swirls Up From Sea--Unlike That Which Flows Through Country. London—The Thames that most of us know, says Ralph D. Paine, in a fairy-tale magazine, is a toy river in a fairy-tale lawns and meadows wonderfully green houses and parks of ancient oaks, where the levels between the locks are crowded with skiffs, punts and small pleasure steamers and every nook and bight of shaded shore has its picnic party. This is astonishingly unlike the Thames that sailors know. Where it meets the brown tide whirls up from the sea, they call it London river, and as such it was famed in the 18th century by the Yankee packets were storming across the Atlantic and the tall East On the Thames at Richmond. Indiamen swung abreast of Gravesend or dropped down past the Nore. No bright plaything for summer holidays is London river, but a crowded road of empire, the turbid thoroughfare of a seaport great and ancient. Much of this commerce is hidden from the casual eye because the shipping is scattered along twenty-five miles of the stream. In the heart of the city itself the waterfront contains so many stretches of architec pictureques dilapidation and such compelling associations with a storied past suggested by the age of steel and steam and the age of steel and telegraph. There is no line of modems and wharves, no spacious harbor. The river is a great deal too small for its traffic and large ships must seek the inland docks dug out of the flat landscape far below London. The coastwise craft and steamers trading with the ports of Europe huddle in the Upper and Lower pool from London bridge to the reach on the seaward side of Tower bridge, or moor beside dingy warehouses that lip the dike, or are tucked away in secluded, obsolete behind walls tenements where you would never dream of looking to find anything afloat. This is antiquated part of maritime London which bridge or embankment, the close-packed steamers painted in many colors, the drifting barges, the aggle tugs and over all a haze, blended of smoke and mist, which softens and mellows without concealing. DIVORCE FROM COLD FEET Lean, Chilly Little Husband Loses Fat and Loves Her Wife Blame on Mom's Lace-Laced Pittsburgh, Pa.—Because John G. Wilfer, a wisp of a man weighing 120 pounds, a prominent merchant of Hazlewood, defiantly and vengefully placed his cold feet on his 300 pound buxom wife's warm back, after he had returned home from business and found no fire burning in the bedroom, Judge Cohen in Common Plea court granted Anne M. Wilfer an absolute divorce. At the hearing of the case Mrs. Wilfer recited a long story of abuse at the hands of her husband. She claimed that for ten years he had abused her in various ways, such as "dragging her down stairs by the hair," had "beaten her down chair by the hair," on the table and her feet," which under her nose and yelled, "Smell that!" Yet all these indignities, Mrs. Wilfer claimed, paled into insignificance in comparison with "placing his ice-cold feet on her warm back." Wilfer claimed that all their troubles were due to his mother-in-law, who came to live with her daughter, and immediately attempted to assume supervision of his life and the household. Because he would not sign a paper placing his wife's property, valued at $50,000, in trust, Wilfer says, his mother-in-law became a disturber and a menace to his home. Scientist To Explore Wilds.

TO RESTORE GARDEN Work Is Begun on Famous Orangerie at Versailles, France. Landscape Is Considered Le Notre's Masterpiece—It Has Particularly of Giving the Impression of Being Perfect Work of Art. Paris, France—Important works are in progress at Versailles in the restoration of the Orangerie. These are expected to be terminated shortly. Since, therefore, the great gardener Le Notre again occupies public opinion it is permissible to expatriate upon the beauties of the gardens at Versailles, which are unquestionably his masterpiece. Designed as they are with consummate art, these gardens are always charming, though nowhere in them is there a trace of abandonment or fainting. They have the particularity of giving the beauty of the garden a perfect work by the art, judgment and wit expended upon them, and for this reason such poets as Alfred de Musset have never been able to admire their precise, stiff and rather solemn style. But, on the other hand, their beauty is one that endures, over which the years slide without marking it with a shadow of deceptitude or with a wrinkle, and which ends by triumphing over all the caprices of taste, fashion and time. There is a famous garden in the gardens of Versailles—this is the one chosen by Louis XIV. himself to afford his visitors an opportunity to hire his vast domains. This point is in the axis of the garden, the foot of the Patterne de Latone. From it one can embrace in a magnificent view the perspective of the Chateau, the park and the Grand Canal. Turning first toward the Chateau, the visitor's eyes run rapidly over the marble steps, the wide alleys, the verdant slopes which lead up to it, without missing the play of the fountains, the sculptures and vases, mingled with the trees, lawns and flowers, with sobriety and perfect taste. From the parterre of the Orangerie the eye naturally rises to the imposing mass of the Chateau, which appears so majestic above the stone In Versailles Park. balustrade of the sustaining wall. In all this architecture are arranged the greenhouses or winter garden in which the rare or fragile plants, the exotic trees, such as the rose laurels, the pomegranate and orange trees, find shelter. And the picturequeens of the image is such that one can easily image them with the most varying and brightest colors in all possible shades of red, green, yellow and blue—in a word, like a veritable picture. WRITER'S CRAMP, MISNOMER London.—Biological tests by scientists at the London hospital show that "writers' cramp" and other similar states of apparent muscular paralysis are actually due, not to the tiring of the muscles, but to brain fag. It appears that the particular part of the brain which controls special combinations of muscle-action, such as the movements of writing or the workin' go a telegraph key, tend to become more quickly exhausted in some individuals than in others. Such exhaustion leads to a state in which the brain is actually unable to send out its necessary messages to the hold and fingers to write, cap a key, hold a violin bow, and so forth. Furthermore, once the nerve cells, the "batteries" of the brain, get thoroughly run down, it is not easy to restore their energy. Heretofore it has been supposed that all troubles of the kind were due simply to overtiring of the muscles concerned. Permits Elders to Sleep in Church.

WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT The Republican party made no mistake when William Howard Taft was renominated for the presidency. He is a man of the people, his public record is clean and he stands for policies which mean the continued progress of the Nation. He deserved a renomination because of the great achievements of his administration. He has shown sober judgment and broad statesmanship. The Afro-Americans have a good friend in Mr. Taft. He inherited his open sympathy for the race from his father, Judge Alphonzo Taft, than whom the Afro-American never had a better friend. A few years ago Mr. Taft was appointed a trustee of the Jeannes fund for the education of the poor Afro-Americans in the country districts of the South, and his acceptance of the trust is an evidence of his sympathy for the poor and downtrodden. In his public utterances, President Taft has denounced lynching in the strongest terms; he has approved higher education as well as industrial training; he has paid high tribute to the race for its great progress in education and industry during the past forty years, and he has expressed his deep sympathy for the sufferings of the Afro-American from the contemptuous insults of white men not his equal in intelligence and devotion to duty. To President Taft must be given credit for having appointed an Afro-American to the highest office yet obtained by one of the race. He did this when he named William H. Lewis Assistant Attorney General of the United States. The President has shown his interest in the race in so many ways that there can be no doubt about the matter. The great body of the Afro-Americans are Republicans, true to the party, and when November comes they'll cast their votes for William Howard Taft. M. H. OUR FRIEND PRESIDENT TAFT, Who Was Renominated on the First Ballot by the Republican National Convention at Chicago. THE FEDERAL CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES HON. JAMES S. SHERMAN, Renominated for Vice President at Chicago—Great Friend of Afro-American People. In reporting a great battle during the slave holders' rebellion in which the Union army was victorious, a famous general said: "The colored troops fought nobly." In the great battle for the Republican nomination for President the other day the Afro-American delegates in the convention acted nobly and made the renomination of President Taft possible. It was made possible by the unwavering loyalty of the great body of the Afro-American delegates who held the balance of power. Although inducements, of every kind were held out to them to desert the President, they spurned the offers and voted as they were instructed, for Wm. H. Taft. The editor of THE APPEAL, in an interview early in June, denied the stories which were being circulated by the enemies of the race that the Afro-American delegates were venal and would desert Taft when the crisis came. Attention was called to their high standing in their respective communities, and the prediction was made that they would never betray their trusts, and to their everlasting credit be it said, that they have proved faithful. In addition to their great work for their country in voting for the nomination of President Taft, they have rendered a great service to their people by demonstrating to the world that their honor is unpurchaseable. MR. C. D. HILLES, CHAIRMAN. Mr. Charles D. Hilles, Secretary to the President, has yielded to the wishes of President Taft and will accept the appointment as chairman of the Republican National Committee. Mr. Hilles has done very effective work in the pre-convention campaign which culminated in the renomination of President Taft at Chicago. Mr. Hilles' tact and genial personality made many friends for the President and he is the logical man for the place. Mr. Hilles' selection will be very pleasing to the Afro-Americans of the country because they know that in anything affecting their interests he will give them a square deal. 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 mouth; 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! SAUCE FOR THE GANDER, SAUCE FOR THE GOOSE. Mrs. Mary Dubal of Birmingham, N.Y., is believed to be the first suffragett 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 complained that in a 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 wife-beaters, he said, and accordingly sentenced her to three months in the penitentiary. Now, ladies, will you be good? 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. "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 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.

Gilchrist, Gov. Florida 9 J. E. Edwards, Gov. Louisiana 1 O. W. Oregon 4 Wm. John Old, 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.

Prices on everything seems to be going up, and the newspaper publisher is among the sufferers. The price for setting type has been advanced ONE-THIRD, therefore a higher price must be charged for advertisements and articles published in the papers. Don't forget this. Why not patronize the business houses that invite you to trade with them through their advertisements in THE APEAL? 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 APEAL. Dr. Waldo Turner has received a letter from Prof. L. A. Kirksey, principal of the high school, Pensacola, Fla., stating that he will attend the National Educational Congress Prof. L. A. Kirksey is one of the most brilliant of the young element of educators and will be assigned to a place on the program. A "a safe and sane" celebration of the "morous 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. Abul Baha, the Persian disciple of the propaganda of "peace and the unification of the world," is expected in St. Paul the latter part of this month. Abul Baha is the leader of a religious cult that knows no man by his race or color and his advent here will be held with joy by all who believe in the brotherhood of man. There was a quiet little home wedding Thursday evening, when Mr. George E. Lee and Miss Elizabeth Belle Taylor, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. R. C. Taylor, were married at their residence by Rev. E. H. McDonald. Only a small coterie of friends was present, but all had a nice time. The bride was the recipient of a number of nice valuable presents. They have gone to housekeeping at 889 Fuller street. The State Railroad and Warehouse Commission has issued a little circular showing in pictured detail how a little device known as a "shrinker" may be, and has been used, for fraudulent purposes on large platform scales such as wagon loads of coal are weighted upon. It is a very simple little thing, but if any of the coal dealers in the city have used it there is no telling how much it has cost coal consumers. The Nobles of Fezzan Temple No. 28 had a very large time the other night when they took a number of would-be Shriners across the burning sands. The seekers for knowledge were: G. W. Edwards, M. N. Pryor, G. W. Dozier, J. C. Broyles, G. W. Brown, F. Festine, M. W. Judy, C. Mason, L. McKenzie, J. N. Sellers, J. Sayles. This Temple can now boast of 87 members. They who have been selected to attend the Imperial Council at Washington, D. C., August 19th, are: J. M. Morris, Minneapolis; Charles Brody, Duluth; Arthur D. Adams, St. Paul. 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. 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 complying, and there is to receive THE APPEAL, but there is no law complying any one to pay for it who receives 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, when an order to discontinue must be accepted, hoped that every one who reads this, that is indebted to the paper, will bring to the office the amount due. Every one who receives THE APPEAL is expected to pay for it. 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 let you pay for it in monthly instalments just like paying rent.

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 they want below and skirmishing in the sights. It so happened that the angel lost his mark of the editor and went behind Hade 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."

Washington, Some time ago Dr. Booker T, Wash- ington wrote an article about the Car- negie heroes for a prominent maga- zine, but supposing more Afro-Amer- icans would see the accounts if pub- lished in their papers, a copy has been sent to THE APPEAL, and from time to time these accounts of Afro-Amer- ican 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. oue 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 es: tablishment of the Hero Fund Commis. sion 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 @ runaway, Atlanta, Georgia, Decem- ber 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 stitches in a wound due to a recent operation. ~ Bronze medal and $500 to reimburse him for pecuniary loss sustained on ac. ‘count of injuries.
