Hawaii Rese Ha Hawaii's Bird Reservation N the leeward chain of islands of the Hawaiian group the Pacific possesses not only one of the great natural wonders of the western world, but a cruising, camping, fishing and outing park reservation that is in every sense unique. Few even of the best informed people in the Hawaiian Islands, or out of them for that matter, upward this important possession at its real worth. That is so difficult to understand as it might at first seem, since hardly one in a thousand of the limited number who have desired to make the journey among them has ever been permitted to visit these floating bits of coral sand that apparently bob aimlessly about, adrift on the bosom of the great wide ocean. Few indeed have a first hand knowledge of what these possessions really are and know of the fascination they and their inhabitants possess as objects of natural interest. Then, too, the idea of utilizing the distant islands in any way that would suggest a natural park is so novel and out of the ordinary that it has not yet taken root in the mind of the man in the street. real worth. This, however, is not understand as it might at first seem, in a thousand of the limited lives desired to make the journey as ever been permitted to visit parts of coral sand that apparently about, adrift on the bosom of the ocean.

The sea bird population alone probably cannot be equaled in any other part of the world. Tens of millions of feathered fowl make their home on these lonely specks of land, repairing thither each year in countless flocks to establish rookeries and to rear their young. The reefs and waters about the islands fairly swarm with fish and other forms of life, so that they really form a densely populated natural zoological garden. To the naturalist, the out-of-door enthusiast, the nature study photographer or the man who simply loves out-of-the-way places and the unusual and novel, these islands leave little to be desired. A chance to run down along this chain is the opportunity of a lifetime and bound to result in a really worth while experience—one that will free in the memory long after the details of their lives and experiences have been mingled with the community. Unfortunately, at present, visiting the islands in the reservation is not the simple matter that it should be, nor that it is hoped it may be made in time. In former years the operations of a guano company, then engaged in exploiting the guano or bird lime deposits on the islands, made it possible, by invitation, to make the journey to Laysan island from Honolulu during the summer months in one of the company's sailing vessels. While the islands of the chain are all different from each other and all intensely interesting, Layson is in a certain sense typical of most of them. It is a raised coral atoll approximately two miles across that in general form has been compared to a broad, shallow platter composed entirely of sand or raised coral reef not more than 40 feet about the sea at the highest point on the sand rim which completely surrounds the salt water lagoon that occupies the central part of the island. This lagoon is of special interest, since its water contains more salt than does that of the open sea. This interesting fact tells much of the geological history of the island and points unmissibly to the island. It shows it to be a circular coral atoll that the island is elevated above the sea carried the waters of the lagoon up to its present level. Since that time, and it must have been very long ago, the waters have evaporated to some extent and left that which remains more concentrated and salty than it was when the island was first made. About the edge of the lagoon the boggy earth is covered with crystals of salt mixed with chips of guano. This shell-like substance sparkles in the sun and suggests a band of silver at the water's edge. About this barren ring is a narrow band covered with low creeping vines. Back of this again is a growth of juncas which is backed up in turn by a ring of low bushes. The prevailing plant of the island, however, is a kind of coarse bunch grass *ghat* grows in four feet high. More than a score of plants have footing there during the long period that has eluded since the dry land first rose, so that at the time of the wetness, and, indeed, on the occasion of my first vacation, sand island it was well supplied with a low growth of hardy vines, grass and shrubs. Unfortunately the introduction of rabbits on the island has marked a sad change since then.

Where a populous colony of much care to avoid GOLONS of BIRDS on LAYSAN Of the many things which interest the visitor at Laysan the great number of birds and their absolute fearlessness are perhaps the most striking. Dr. Fisher of the Albatross expedition, writing of his impression of the enormous number of birds, has very truly said: "The effect of this at first was nearly overpowering. Where we made our way through the populous colony of sootty terns we had to exercise much care to avoid crushing their eggs and birds which struggled panic-striken before we took old ruse of a broken wing, and then, taking a waving over our heads. If we would converse, it was necessary to shout. "Turning toward the center of the island, we were obliged to cross a wide area with tall grass and completely honeycombed with the burrows of petrels. Through the roofs of these tunnels the pedestrian is continuously breaking, sinking in the soft soil up to the knee. From out of the shadows of the tussocks young albatross, uncouth and awkward, snapped their beaks at us, and occasionally losing their balance from overhear fell forward on their chins. This proceeding usually made them actually sick. "Few of the adult birds, however, seemed frightened, and with the exercise of a little care we went to approach most species as close as we wished, or actually gratifying to walk up to an albatross or a booby and watch it feed its young and to record this domestic duty with the camera." More than two dozen species of sea, land and shore birds frequent this island in great numbers during the year. They do not all breed at the MURDERER EXILED BY HIS CONSCIENCE MURDERER EXILED BY HIS CONSCIENCE Midway island, now one of the most important stations on the Pacific cable, was the scene of many wrecks and unsolved mysteries in the days when the sailing vessels roved the seven seas. Not the least of these strange events says the San Francisco Chronicle involved the old bark. Wandering Minstrel, which was wrecked on Midway in 1888, while on a shark fishing cruise out of Hongkong. All hands succeeded in reaching shore safely, where they found an old building erected thirty years before by a party of surveyors and here the luckless survivors of the ill fated Wandering Minstrel were marooned for 14 long months, subsisting on fish and the eggs of the countless sea birds, which wheeled and screamed over the flashing coral reefs, until rescued by the Japanese schooner Norma and taken to the Wandering Minstrel's company found many marks of wrecks on the island, including a broken hull marked General Siegel, and on one of the smaller islands close to the coast they stumbled across two mounds of sand over which wooden crosses, made from drift wood, had been erected, hacked with the inscription "1888." A little distance beyond, on the sand, was the form of a man lying on his back with his head resting in his hands. As the exploring ship-wrecked sailors approached the man opened his THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY; JULY 20, 1912. The Laysan albatross, or white-breasted gony, is distributed all over the island, with the possible exception of the sea beach, which is especially popular with their brown-breasted, black-footed cousins. In certain places, as at the ends of the lagoon, they are or rather were, more congested than in other localities. The dense colony shown in the illustration was at the east end of the lagoon. To the progenitors of these birds is due the exceedingly valuable deposit of bird lime or guano, the accumulation of ages, which has been removed in years past and utilized as phosphate rock in chemical fertilizers. The old birds do not mind the presence of man, often walking up to the visitor, evidently intending to welcome him among them. Once in a while an individual will take hold of the visitor's finger or gently pull at his shoe strings or leggins, but once ordinary curiosity is satisfied and the freedom of the place extended to the visitor they take up their former occupation or go on with their amusements in utter disregard of everything and everybody. Friendly as they are, they will not allow themselves to be handled, avoiding any attempt to touch their persons, evidently resenting such approaches as undignified. Some years ago a company of Japanese were landed on the island to kill and cure birds for millinery purposes. That they were rudely interrupted in their spoiolation by the United States revenue cutter Thetis, is a truth well known, but the result of their poaching is everywhere too apparent. eyes and without apparent emotion said: "How are you?" Then he arose and with no more apparent concern than as if he had had companionship constantly, told them that he was the sole survivor of the Siegel and that the two graves were those of the captain and mate, whom he had buried. His name, he said, was Jorgensen, and he had lived alone there for two years. Jorgensen joined the Wandering Minstrel's party and as time wore along his manner became noticeably strange; he avoided conversation and especially evaded inquiry concerning his ship and the details of its loss until it became the general opinion that there was a mystery about the affair which he could dissipate. The man clung to his secret despite the constant efforts of the others to get him to disclose it. After six months he fell ill and when dying told the Wandering Minstrel's men that he had murdered the skipper and mate successively and handed them the revenge for previous ill treatment, and buried them where the crosses stood. When at last the attention of the Norma had been attracted and the maroon sailors prepared to leave, Jorgensen refused to go with them. He said he felt that he must remain on the island—the little white spot of desolation it was then—to watch and wait at the graves of his victim. Defective Page same time; in fact, some of them, as the plover, the curlew and the turnstone, not breed on the island at all. Nevertheless, the island was literally covered from center to sea with breeding birds, mating birds, and young half-grown fledglings of a dozen or more species. An astonishing population, numbering perhaps twice the inhabitants of Greater New York, it was to be expected that a study of the situation would reveal a method in their distribution. Generally speaking, the various species were grouped in more or less well defined colonies. As a rule, these colonies had settled on certain localities that seemed to suit their rancy or convenience. There is a constant coming and going at Layes, so that the visitor arriving there at Layes would find different species predominating in the bird population, while other species that at another season would be equally as abundant might not be found there at all. But visit this island or any one of the chain when you will, enough interesting material for a volume on birds can be gathered in an hour or two on shore. One of the many curious birds of the island, the albatross, of which there are two species, is of the most general form, and in part to their splendid size and part to their unusual domestic habits. MAY SOLVE MYSTERY British Yacht to Take British Scientists to Easter Island. Lonely Dot of Land, Two Thousand Miles From South American Continent, Believed to Have Been a Continent at One Time. London.—The Mana, a motor auxiliary yacht just launched at Whitstable, is to carry an expedition to the South seas to investigate the origin of the gigantic prehistoric remains of Easter island. This island, the most easterly of the Polynesian group, is a lonely dot of land 45 miles in area, 2,000 miles from the South American coast. Facing the Shore Line of Easter island. sea on the island are enormous platforms made of uncomposed stones, some of which weigh five tons. Some of the sea walls are 30 feet high and 200 feet long. There is no metal on the island, and the only tool found was a prehistoric chisel, with which it would seem impossible to execute such colossal works. Moreover, the island, with its scanty water supply, could not have supported enough people to drag the figures from the quarry where they were made to the platforms. Some of the statues weigh 250 tons. There is every evidence that some great calamity overtook the island and its inhabitants, for most of the figures are unfinished, some of them never even having been removed from the island's popular theory is that Easter Island is a sole remain of a continent which was everywhere by sea after a great seismic disturbance. The Mana expedition, led by W. Scoresby Routledge and accompanied by geologists and other scientists from the British museum, will make excavations in an effort to solve the mystery. CURIOUS HOUSES IN CHINA Celestials Build Their Homes or Palaces Wall-Within-Wall—All Have Beautiful Gardens. Peking, China.—It is difficult for the occidental mind to picture the wall-in-wall-wall life of a Chinese home, down a narrow lane one passes between two walls, blinding which may be hovels or palaces, there is no telling which, since the one-story roofs beyond are invisible, says a writer in the Century Magazine. One pulls a string at a gateway, the address of some family of high degree. A servant appears, leads through another gateway, a flowery courtyard, a passageway, perhaps another courtyard, a little room or two, and finally into a reception room, and into a mansion, almacining and furniture, its porcelain, brasses, its blue-and-green-and-gold ceiling and its window pattern of paper panes. Here the hostess appears, offers her occidental guest tea or champagne, or both, with cakes and candied fruit or lotus buds. Then she may lead one through other courtyards, all with the usual one-story rooms around them, and into her secluded garden and pools, of pretty paths and bridges, of clustering trees and flowers. In such a palace as this each courtyard, with its surrounding rooms, may In a Chinese Garden. be the special home of one of the sons and his wife and children; but somewhere in the maze of walls, under one of the low, tiled roofs, is the common dining room, with the kitchen beyond. Here the men of the family eat together, twice a day, and afterward the women and children. And somewhere also there is a central family hall, with the ancestral tablets, which must have their tribute of incense at proper seasons. These are held in such reverence that no foot may pass above them, and therefore two-story dwellings are unknown in regions uncontaminated by foreign influence.

NEW EDUCATION OF TARTAR Phonetic System of Teaching Reading and Writing Introduced Among Indian Mohammedana. Constantinople—Ishmali Bek Gasprisky, the editor of the Terjuman, the oldest Tartar newspaper in Russia, and the pioneer of the modern Tartar educational movement, widely known outside Russia as having initiated about five years ago a movement for convening a general congress of Mohammedans to discuss the backwardness of Mohammedanism has returned from Bombay, where he modern elementary school which should serve to introduce among Indian Mohammedans the phonetic system of teaching children to read and write. The importance of this step is not obvious at first sight, but the adoption of the phonetic system means the adoption of new principles of instruction generally. It means breaking with the traditional Mohammedan scholastic system. And for this reason, as it is called, has become among Russian Mohammedans a watchword of reform and is vigorously opposed by the adherents of the old school. In its essence the "new method" means that children, instead of being taught to read by spelling out the names of the letters of the Arabic alphabet which is used by all Mohammedans, are taught at once to associate letters with sounds and to form them into syllables. M. Gaspriinka has discovered by long experience in Russia that by the new system an enormous amount of time is saved. The average child can by its means learn to read intelligently in 40 days, whereas under the old system six months or a year were necessary, and then the result was unsatisfactory. The mullahs who have adopted the new system in the Crimea have found themselves compelled to fill in the time they were giving instruction in other subjects, such as geography and hygiene, otherwise the need for instruction would have been so short that their slender income from the village schools would have grown more slender still. The new system has already been adopted at the Normal School for Teachers, established at Constantinople, after the constitution, and the teachers who are now being trained will gradually introduce it in elementary schools all over the country. DONJON OF VINCENNES OPEN Famous Twelfth Century Castle Is Now Ready for Tourists. Paris.—Through the efforts of Capt. de Fossa, the famous donjon, or keep of the Chauteau de Vincennes, which Part of Old Vincennes Donjon. since Napoleon's time had been used for the storing of military supplies, has been thrown open to the public. The donjon is over 160 feet in height, and from its summit an excellent view of the surrounding country can be obtained. The walls are 10 feet thick and there is a winding staircase of 327 steps. There are five stories, and on clearing out the place 60,000 muskets of the First Empire were found on the first floor, while above were 100,000 sabres, together with a quantity of saddles and bridles of the same period. All these things have now been replaced by military reliefs illustrating the history of the tower during 700 years. There is also data showing the famous events in which the structure played a part and the equally famous prisoners confined behind its massive walls. As far back as 1164, writes Capt. de Fossa, in a pamphlet he has prepared on the subject, Louis VII. conceived the project of building a royal residence at Vincennes, in the wood of which the earlier monarchs often hunted. Philippe Auguste and his successors improved and enlarged the chateau, in which many of them dwelt. It was later utilized as a state prison, and in 1740 the porcelain factory which was removed to Seventy ten years later established there. Then the edifice was established as the quarters of a military school for a brief period, and afterward a manufactory of arms. In 1788, at the time of the French Revolution, Vincennes was ranged among the royal chateau which were to be sold, but did not find a purchaser. Then came Napoleon, who turned the historic castle into a military storehouse. Among the monarchs who have died there were Louis VII, Philippe V. and Charles IV, and also Henry V. of England. $2.40 PER YEAR. Rivers Are So Wide and the Walls So Precipitous That Is Is Impossible to Find Foundations for Structures. Lhassa, Tibet.—One of the most fascinating things met with in Tibet is the single-rope bridge—fascinating, and yet at first sight rather alarming. To shoot swiftly across a thundering river suspended many feet in the air by two leather thongs from a short wooden slider which hums over the knotten surface of a rope made of twisted strands of bamboo, seems more precarious than it really is, and after the first journey one thoroughly Ferrying Horse Over River enjoys the experience. Whoever the ingenious native was who first suggested this mode of crossing a river—he probably came from the jungles of Assam and had seen monkeys crossing the river there by means of growing creepers—there is no doubt that he found the one method which is applicable to the big rivers, exaggerated mountain torrents, of eastern Tibet and far western China. The obvious way for natives to cross a river is by canoe, but, unfortunately, neither the are seen, nor the Mekong, big as they are, nor the other thongs; to these thongs the men often tied, canoe Tibet. The single-way rope overcomes every difficulty. Two small platforms are made, one on either side of the river, one high up, the other 20 or 30 feet lower down; stout posts are driven into the rock and the bamboo rope is slung across from post to post, and tightened so that it slopes steeply from one bank to the other. The slider consists of a half-cylinder of wood, about two inches in diameter, having two cuts in it under surface, one at either end, through which are seen the other thongs; to these thongs the men often tied, canoe Tibet, and, being pushed off the platform, the slider carries him safely over the river. It will be seen. there, that two ropes are necessary at each crossing, one for going each way. The advantages of such a system are obvious. The rope is cheap to make and the materials are ready to hand; it is quickly put in place and, though it will not stand the wear and tear of constant use for very long, it can be replaced in a few hours. It can be suspended so high above the river that it out of reach of summer floods, but few feet above the water at its lowest point, and such ropes are under water and impassable during the summer. On the other hand, I have seen ropes as much as a hundred feet above the river; they look rather alarming, but, as a matter of fact, it would make no difference whether one fell one hundred feet or five feet into such a river as the Mekong in Tibet. After a few weeks' use the rope begins to sag at the lower end and may require tightening up, especially if animals are being slung across; a man can pull himself up the last few feet, hand over it, and then pull the rope up the stuck, but an animal is helpless unless he lands right on the opposite bank. Hundreds of these single-way rope bridges are in use on the Mekong and Salween rivers alone, and they occur a long way east of this on the LaJung and Li-tang rivers, and many others. But I have never seen one on the Yangtze, which is too big a river—F. Kingdom Ward, in Country Life.

Upon the solid rock of the rights of the individual as granted by the Constitution, the Republican party builds its structure of optimism. The Democratic party, on the other hand, in the opening sentence of its address to the electorate, betrays the occasional quality by bringing the Constitution right again and again confirmed by the Supreme Court, to establish protective duties for the benefit of American industries. It declares as false the vital issue of the constitutional liberties of the individual. Such liberties are now assailed by those who advocate the overthrow of the independence of the judiciary. It would be the individual defenseless in its struggle, those rights declared inalienable under the Constitution—Charles D. Hilles, chairman of the Republican national committee. SATURDAY JULY 20.1912 AFRAID OF BUDDHISTS One Rev. Mell is very much afraid of the Buddhists missions which have been started on the Pacific to "propagate the heathen faith of India."

These are the Hindu priests, who seek here to propagate the heathen faith of India, that sat during the Chicago fair played its part, but the shrewd Hindus were quick to see the opportunity, and with Unwittingly, of course, the parliament a subtle, sagacious and effective flank movement they have come to America, while America has sent Christian missionaries and millions to India.

At San Jose there are two Buddhist temples, and there is one at Oakland. At Los Angeles there is an institutional Buddhist work, somewhat on the lines of the Young Men's Christian Association."

He had licked Flynn once before and he ought to have known better. We do not care a rap for Jack Johnson and abhor pugilism, but it is pleasing to know that in the "manly art of self-defense," as they used to designate it, as well as in many other lines, a man's ability cannot be absolutely determined by the color of his skin. Our sanctum sanctorium is in close proximity to a daily newspaper and on the occasion of the two victories of Johnson we could tell of the progress of the fights by the shouts or the silence of the crowds that surrounded the aforesaid newspaper office as the returns of the fights were announced. Of course the crowds were made up almost entirely of men of the complexion of Jeffreys and Flynn, and they were mighty poor loosers. Had they been genuine sportsmen they would have cheered the winner of the coveted title, "the best man in the world," but they were as silent as clams when Johnson won.

A very romantic wedding took place in Marshalltown, Iowa, this week, when George M. Minkler, aged 77, and Mrs. Huldah A. Davis, aged 75, both inmates of the Soldiers' Home, were united in wedlock. The groom had been married four times and the bride three. They took a six months' "furlough" immediately after the wedding. Evidently they do not believe marriage is a failure. The outlook for a bumper crop all over the country is so favorable at this time that the dealers in provisions have already begun to reduce the prices on many of the necessities of life. That good crops will knock the stuffing out of the high cost of living is a consummation to be devoutly wished for. A strenuous effort was made at the Democratic National convention to have a plank inserted in the platform disfranchising the Afro-Americans, and yet there will be some boneheads who will vote the Democratic ticket at the coming election.

Weather Is Decidedly Hot at Capital "Love, Not Larceny" Leads to Arrest Coreless Apple Alarms Pie-Eaters "Black Hand" Rumor Disturbs Capitol WASHINGTON.—It is decidedly hot in Washington. There is nothing especially new or starting in this statement, may be, but it serves neatly as an introduction to the interesting narrative appended. During the summer months, it seems, when a Washington resident is not discussing the baseball team he occupies his time figuring reasons for the utter success of heat here. Numbers of perfectly reasonable reasons have been so figured. Humidity, for one; the discouraging, mushy asphalt; the white buildings; the wide streets—oh, any number of reasons. Many residents cling to one thory, but more declare that all causes work together. One single cause, the latter argue, could not get so much effect. However, this story is written to narrate the discovery of an entirely new theory accounting for the heat peculiar to Washington. It was disclosed to a Washington visitor during a dragging, sun stifled walk along Pennsylvania avenue the other afternoon. It was a typical Washington summer day, the kind referred to by an old resident who said: "Well, I admit that the mornings in JAMES Harris Champion, reared on a farm in Alabama, the only other product of which was one bale of cotton a year, came to Washington the other day to earn a livelihood. Only one day of joyous freedom was enjoyed by Champion, and then his dream of world conquest was nipped in the bud by the police, and then James, looking from between the bars at the First precinct station, muttered: "It was love, not larceny, that got me here." And then Champion told the police a story of a starved soul, a crippled body, and the first sight of a beautiful woman—the most beautiful woman he had ever seen—and how infatuation for Lee Chapman, whom the police well know, compelled him to live a lie and the consequences of it. "Wednesday evening I met Lee Chapman on the street. She was the prettiest woman I ever saw," said Champion, "and I guess I loved her as soon as I looked at her. Anyway, I loved her soon afterward, for she was the only pretty woman that ever paid any attention to me." And then Champion sobbed a little when he said: "You know a cripple doesn't get many smiles." "I didn't have any money and I saw I couldn't make much headway with WASHINGTON restaurant men and their customers were much disturbed the other day over the news from Georgetown, Del., that a man of that place, had succeeded in developing an apple that has no core. According to the report, the experiments have proceeded so far that for two years he has raised apples that have absolutely no vestige of either seed or their fibrous covering. It was with much indignation that the news was received in the restaurants of the National Capital. "It's an outrage," said the proprietor of one restaurant, when he saw the dispatch. "Something ought to be done. Oh, Mr. Rigger!" A wry looking man of about fifty, who was lighting a cigarette at the cigar lighter, came over to where the proprietor stood. "Mr. Rigger," explained the proprietor, "is one of the oldest customers I have. He has been taking his meals in this restaurant for 20 years. It ought to be of interest to get his views on the subject." Whereupon UNWONTED excitement disturbed the usual morning calm of the capitol, when it was whispered that a senator had received a message from the "Black Hand." Immediately there were visions of detectives tracing up every evanescent clue, for it had been stated positively over the phone by the senator that he was the victim of a Black Hand disaster. There was consternation when the senator was encountered at the golf links, aid an excited group of players surrounded him to quiz about the alarming missive. "What about that 'Black Hand' letter?" they cried. "What 'Black Hand' letter?" asked the senator absently. "Why, the one you were talking about this morning." "I think I threw it in the waste basket." "We must have that letter, senator," put in a young reporter earnestly. "Your co-operation with the press and the officers of the law will mean much in—" "Say, young man," broke in the senator, "is this a joke?" He was culti- Washington are pretty hot. And toward noon it is hot. But again, we have the afternoon. Ah, then it is hot. Yet our wonderful evenings and toward midnight! What a pleasant chazge the heat is!" That's the sort of day it was. The visitor referred to was plooding along, attempting to be unconscious of his swinging doors on the other side of which, it is a matter of common report, most cooling beverages may be obtained. The visitor noticed a tiny wagon. It was much after the order of the old fashioned "hokey pokey" cart. It drew up to the curbing. On the cart was the legend: "Fried Cakes!" One can scarcely imagine the effect of that sign unless it has confronted one through the quilvering heat waves of Washington. Visions of sputtering lard and scorching grease! The heat grew suffocating. The walker staggered on. Came then another cart, fashioned in the manner of the first. A sign on its side proclaimed: "Roasted Peanuts!" The visitor's grew dry. The heat seemed to increase. But that was the error of a heat persecuted mind. As he swayed there, around the corner came a third wagon. On it was a third sign: "Hot Sausage!" With a wild and despairing yell the Washington visitor turned and fled through a convenient swinging door. It is hot in Washington—then some. IT WAS LOVE THAT GOT ME HERE her without money, so I went to the best jeweler in Washington and ordered $4,000 worth of jewelry. I told them I was stopping at the Raleigh and I would send for the jewelry. "When I met Lee I told her I was going to give them to her, and she threw her arms about my neck and kissed me. I guess I'll have to pay well for those kisses. Then I took her lavilace and a gold wedding ring and told her to wait while I went to the hotel and got the jewels. I only took them because I knew she would wait for me if I had them. It was Lee's beauty that turned my head. "I intended to go to the hotel and then go back to Lee and tell her I couldn't get the jewels until tomorrow. I thought she would be nice to me then, because she would believe she would get the jewels if she treated me well. But before I got to the hotel they arrested me." Champion is held on a charge of larceny. The lavilar and ring were found on the prisoner. the contents of the dispatch were explained to the customer. "I, for one, won't stand for it," declared Mr. Rigger, firmly. "I have been eating in this place so long that it would seem like breaking home ties to stop it, but if this restaurant ever serves pies made of these coreless apples I'll have to go somewhere else. Why, an apple pie without plenty of seeds and fiber in it would be like a highball without fizz or matrimony without Nat Goodwin. No sir. I won't stand for it, and if——" "Quiet yourself, Mr. Rigger," interposed the proprietor. "I intend to see that your rights are protected. I simply won't buy pies made of coreless apples." "Thank you!" exclaimed Mr. Rigger, and he grasped the proprietor's hand. At the headquarters of the Walters' union the news met with a chilly reception. "What do you think of it?" one of the officers of the union was asked. "Think of it? Well, I think there will be a waiters' strike if they try to introduce these coreless apples. If we served guests with apple pies that had no seeds in them, we never would get a tip, and without tips we simply couldn't make a living." Shaking his head solemnly, and with a new look of care on his face, he turned on his heel. TALK ABOUT BLACK HAND vating the language necessary for use (with mules) in intensified farming, and indulged in a few epithets before he stated: "That 'Black Hand' is nothing— nothing at all I tried to fill my fountain pen this morning with indelible ink, and I still have the black hand with me." For proof he held up an inky palm which liberal applications of pumice-stone had failed to whiten This was the newspaper rumor quieted. The disgusted golfers sauntered away to conceal their feelings, and the senator went back to his game, wondering why it was that a man could not even talk about his fountain pen without awakening reportorial energy and national attention—Chaple's News Letter.

CONGRESS IN ITS THIRD ANNUAL SESSION The meeting most successful in the History of the Congress from every point of view. Members delighted with Twin Cities. The third annual session of the Negro National Educational Congress was held in St. Paul from July 15 to 18, inclusive and has passed into history. Despite the knocks both from within and without the city, it proved to be everything else than what its opposers declared it to be. The opposition caused the attendance to fail to come up to the expectation of its promoters and supporters, but those who were in attendance proved to be very fine representatives of the brainiest and most eloquent men and women of the race. And while a few of the well known leaders, of thought and action, did not grace the occasion with their presence or lend their aid and support those who were here, proved, to all who heard them, that there are others who are just as worthy of consideration. There were over one hundred delegates present and among them were: Rev. John J. Smallwood, Rev. R. H. Howling, Prof. J. S. Lee, Editor P. B. Yowling, Prof. J. S. Lee, Editor P. B. Virginia; Mrs. Julia Embry, Corrado; C. J. Walker, Indiana; Atty. W. H. Harrison, Oklahoma; J. Silas Harris, and H. K. Graham, Missouri; Rev. J. C. Taylor, Ohio; Prof. A. W. Nicholson, New Jersey; Rev. Jas. Mason, Rev. W. H. Gray, Illinois and others who stand for something in the communities in which they live. T. E. APPEAL will make no attempt to give a detailed account of the proceedings of the Congress as a committee has been appointed to prepare a synopsis for publication by the American Press Association which will duly appear. Three sessions of the Congress were held daily at the Old Capitol and all were well attended and full of interest. There were numerous social courtesies extended to the delgats and visitors but the principal social function was the reception and entertainment held at the Auditorium on Tuesday evening. There were about 500 present on the session and the scene with all the boxes and with handsome gowned ladies and gallant gentlemen and hundreds in the parquet and balconies was a scene that was inspiring in the extreme.

Mme. McCuiloughs orchestra proceeded to furnish splendid music and the devotees of terpsichore enjoyed themselves for two hours when Home Sweet Home swelled up on the air and the guests proceeded to repair to their houses and were shortly whirled to their several lives after a most splendid evenings entertainment. It will be well to remark that the addresses of each of the gentlemen on the program were soul inspiring and were heartily applauded throughout. The other numbers were artistic in the extreme and pleased every one immensely. Thursday the election of officers for the ensuing year was held with the following result: J.

Upon invitation of Governor Eberhart the Congress visited the Capitol in a body and gathered in the magnificent reception room of the Governor. Dr. Charles S. Morris made the address and he out did himself in his impassioned eloquence. The Governor most fittingly and feelingly most joined then cordially greeted all with a hearty hand shake. At the afternoon session the local committee made its report which was so satisfactory that a rising vote of thanks was extended by the Congress. The finance committee of the Congress also made its report which was also approved. The Friday evening session took place after THE APPEAL had gone to press. It is safe to say that the Congress made a very favorable impression up on the people of St. Paul who attended its sessions which were conducted with ability throughout, and its harmonious and intelligent actions are a refutation of the malicious imputations which have been placed upon it. While there may have been some disappointments the work of the Congress has wrought much good for the race. MINNEAPOLIS DOINGS IN AND ABOUT THE GREAT "FLOUR CITY."

TELLS OF IRELAND View of Killarney 2,000 Feet Above Sea Level. Scene Forms Regular Panorama of Beauty—Mountain, Lake, Moor and Meadow Combine to Make Picture Rarely Seen. Killarney.—Killarney has been so often and so vividly described by poets and other literary lights, and its beauties so often reflected by the painter, that attempts to say anything original about it would be almost an impossibility. When one speaks or writes of Killarney it means to those who have traveled extensively that practically the last word has been said in defining natural beauty or artistic surroundings. Set amid a series of surrounding hills, the highest of which rises to more than 3,000 feet above the sea level, the scene of which the ancient town is the center forms a regular panorama of beauty. Mountain, lake, moor and meadow combine to make a picture rarely seen, even by those who have traveled in many lands. A climate mild as it is possible to conceive, sunshine and showers, or as a distinguished poet has described it, "smiles and tears," alternating, the wind from the mountains tempered by the milder breezes of the lakes, Killarney is not alone a beauty spot in nature, but a health resort as well. The traveler walking down to the water's edge from the neighborhood of the Victoria hotel at the lower end of the lake, when the sun rises in the morning or sets in the evening, will see unfolded before him a picture which will linger in the memory while he lives. A mile or so across the lake from Innisfallen, Ross castle is in view, one of the most picturesque of the ancient ruins around Killarney. Its tail quadrangular tower, or keep, was originally meted by outworks, built by one of the family of O'Donoghue Ross and believed to date from the fourteenth century. Its spiral stair of stone leading to the top commands an interesting view of the lower lake, the islands and the mountains all around. Almost beneath it are the remains of the old Abbey of Muckcross, founded in 1440 by the McCarthy family on the foundation of a much older church destroyed by fire in 1192. The ruins of the church and convent, measuring about 100 feet in length, and consisting of choir, nave, transept, tower and cloister, still remaining nearly perfect, despite the lapse of centuries, with a beautiful quadrangle of arches, some with pointed and some semicircular heads, constitute one of the most picturesque of all the Irish ruins. In the center of the square within the abbey is a new tree, said to be as old as the abbey itself. One of the quaintest of the traditions connected with the mountains environing Killarney is associated with the "Devil's Punch Bowl" and Mangerton mountain. Rowed through the lazes by one of the veteran boatmen of the town, he enlivened the excursion by a series of stories which several of his listeners felt would not have done any great discredit to the late Baron Munchausen. His version of what the "Devil's Punch Bowl" meant, as contained in the legend still credited in the locality, his own country gets too hot when his own country gets too hot for him, goes up to the punch bowl and takes his whisky hot there, or, as the old oarsman said, "Or maybe a 'Tom and Jerry,' as we used to call it when I lived in Boston." When the traveler has rowed across the lakes, and listened to one of these THE LAND OF THE LION Corner of Beautiful Killarney. old boatmen spin his yarns, even though they be only fresh water ones; he is perfectly prepared to believe the final tale as he passes by a little island known as "O'Donoghue's prison," and beside which he is informed that "O'Donoghue's white horse" periodically glides across the lake with O'Donoghue on horseback, toward Ross castle. The tradition of the neighborhood is, as given out by our guide, that this old chiefstain of the Glens "gave his prisoners a meal a day and as much water as they could drink" while he held the foreigner at bay, and refused to allow him to enter the kingdom of Kerry. Man's Start In a Garden- Louisville, Ky.—"When God wanted to give man a chance, he started him in a garden; but when Cain's crime called for retribution, he built a town," declared Rev. Dr. Charles T. Thompson of New York, in speaking on the report of the board of foreign missions. He was emphasizing the work of the church and country life department of the board, the report declaring that the rural regions, once the bulwark of the church, "have become sources of moral peril to the nation."
