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. 38. TAM HEAD of TAMING the HEAD HUNTERS of LUZON THE WOMEN OF THE WATER CITY A YEAR AGO and T MUSEUM OF ARCHITECTURE NEW YORK HE head hunters of the Philippines are being taught to go shopping. It is an important means of civilization in the mountain province of Luzon—region of forty cities, gorges and primeval forests, inhabited by a quarter of a million people who eat their meat raw, drink warm blood, and indulge (or have done so until recently) an appetite for wholesale homicide. As a means of civilization (under the direction of our war department), trade is being developed among these wild folk. In the past it has been necessary for the coast towns, to buy salt, cloth, and other necessaries. But within the last few months government stores, called "exchanges," have been started at various points, and are kept supplied with everything likely to be required by the natives—the prices for goods being those current in Manila, plus 20 per cent, and cost of transportation. The stores not only sell, but also buy. They purchase baskets, wood-carvings, native weapons, and articles of savage dress such as can be sold in Manila as curios, paying liberally for them in cash. One of the seven sub-provinces composing the Mountain Province is Benguet, the capital of which, Baguio—a mile above sea level, and 175 miles due north of Manila—is the terminus of one of the most wonderful roads in the world, built by the natives with the help of American engineering skill. Extending all the way from Baguio to the sea, it is carved to a large extent out of solid rock, skirting the sides of steep hills, crossing deep canyons in many places, and suspending a beacon length it is wide enough for narrow-bread carts, the and at intervals of eighteen miles comfortable five-room rest houses have been erected for the benefit of travelers. Running at an elevation of the 5,000 to 7,000 feet, it passes through tropical scene of unsurpassed beauty, commands magnificent views, and should in the near future become a route much naturized by tourists. The situation in Apayao is especially difficult because head-hunting among the tribesmen of that sub-province is intimately connected with their religious faith. Nevertheless, the practice is being gradually stamped out and, with the help of the Igorot and Ifugao constabulary, a number of murderers have been arrested and punished. There is still a considerable area over which government control has not yet been established, and which has not even been opened up by trails to and from the owing to the inaccessible character of the region. One should realize, of course, that head-hunting among the tribesmen is guarded as murder in the ordinary sense of the word. It is a field sport and a manly occupation, established by the custom of centuries as beffiting of warrior. The last of the Benguet igorots to come under the jurisdiction and control of the United States government were the people of Atoc, who occupied a remarkable natural stronghold—a bold peak 6,500 feet high, which juts out from the surrounding mountains, its precipitous slides defying attack. They were also the most numerous numbers, but warlike, working the rice paddies in the valleys below by day and seeking refuge in their eylie at night. They preferred independence to submission. Nevertheless, being eventually overcome by force of arms, they are now entirely docile. Generally speaking, the igorots are not particularly aggressive, and cheerful, and the women have a voice in their councils, often exercising a controlling influence Most troublesome and untrustworthy of all the tribes of northern Luzon are the Hongots, of the sub-province of Nueva Viscaya. There are not more than 5,000 or 6,000 of them, but they inhabit a vast region, most of it very mountainous and most wholly covered by virgin forest. Often they are merely temporary, and they are hard to get. Encouraged to rate their villages, which in the more remote regions continue to fight among themselves. These were the people who not long ago murdered Dr. William Jones while he was engaged in making ethnological notes among them. Nevertheless, trails are being pushed into the heart of their country; two or three government "exchanges" between the industrial schools are being started for their heath; and being made to induce them to extend their agricultural operations—partly for the sake of rendering their communities more stationary. Strongest in numbers of all the savage peoples and among the most inveterate head hunters were the Ituagas. There are about 125,000 of them. Bitterly hostile to begin with, they have become warm friends and admirers of the Americans, and their services, voluntarily given, have been utilized on an extensive scale in the building of roads and trails. By their own suggestion, they subdue the Ituagas and ban ennies days per annum from each able-bodied and servant companies of Ituagas constabulary have been organized, and of admirable service, keeping order among the tribesmen. One should realize that the continual warfare that has been going on for centuries among the tribes in the wild man's territory of Northern Luzon has been due mainly to lack of acquaintance amping the people. Every stranger being regarded as an enemy, it was a matter of course that each village should be at war with the neighboring villages and headhunting was an important part of the regular business of every abled-bodied male citizen. The tilling of the rice paddies and sweet potato fields could be carried on with safety only under armed guard—heads of women and children being not less desirable as trophies than those of men. For doing away with this situation of affairs, the most effective means has been the building of roads and trails by which each man has been brought into communication with each other, thus having an opportunity to become friends. It is now common to igorots now work' side by side with pick and shovel, instead of hunting each other with head-axes. Equally fierce and as yet untamed to any great extent are the Kallingsas. They were inveterate head hunters until recently, but have almost given up the practice. Some of them are beginning to cut their hair and dress like Christians, and quite a number of the children are learning to read and write. One small group of their settlements adopted an attitude of defiance toward the Americans, and two years ago Walter F. Hale, lieutenant-governor of that province, paid the rebels a visit. When they threw spears at him he picked them up and handed them back with an intimation that such actions were discourteous. But that he wanted to be friends with them. But the people did not desire to be friends, and that they intended to take his head at the first convenient opportunity. Such was the situation of affairs up to a short time ago, when four settlements "broke the peace" and went on the warpath. Lieut-Gov. Hale, with a strong detachment of Irugao constabulary and assisted by a force of friendly Kallingsas, thereupon organized a punitive expedition, attacked the rebel villages, and wiped them out, burning the houses and killing the pigs. It is, in fact, a veritable social revolution that is being accomplished. All of the Mountain Province is being literally gridironed with trails and roads, the most inaccessible districts be open- THE APPEAL. ed up. A through route for horseback travel has been nearly completed all the way from Southern Benguet to the extreme northern end of Luzon. Telegraph and telephone lines are being extended over hundreds of miles of territory, and the watch towers on lofty peaks, hitherto occupied by native sentinels on the alert for raiding bands of head-hunting foes, are deserted. At Bonton (capital of the sub-province of the same name), wonderful improvements are being made. Here, where half a dozen years ago no white man could have ventured without an armed escort, the men and boys are being taught brick-making and lime burning. A deposit of magnificent clay for the purpose was found near the river, with unlimited quantities of sharp sand suitable for building near the river. The village of the entire village of Minac, in that neighborhood, are burning lime and furnishing it to the government of Bonton Province. They are becoming independently rich at the business. GIRLS GATHERING EDIBLE PLANTS These facilities, with unlimited labor obtainable for nothing under the system of the ten-day tax, make building work exceedingly cheap. A large brick school house and a brick club house, as well as a building for the offices of the provincial government, of stone and brick, has been put up for sale by a plasterer for wild kings who misbehave themselves, and a small, but thoroughly up-to-date, hospital. A canal has been constructed incidentally to furnish the town of Bontoc with an abundant supply of pure mountain water. It is expected that the hospital will be of inestimable usefulness. Most of the wild people seem heartily willing to give up their ancient custom of curing physical ailments by human contact, and the doctor showing a touching confidence in the ability of the white man to give them help. Packages of simple remedies, with small pamphlet of directions in English and the more important native dialects, are distributed among the villages; likewise large quantities of quinine and other safe and useful drugs. A recently discovered drug has been found to be a specific for the very unpleasant taste of yaws. It happened that a Bontoc loot, afflicted with it, was unwilling PLOWING A 'RICF' FIELD морфологические условия и интенсивность и интенсивность the hospital, but was compelled to do so, but the one injection requisite.

But the effect of the drug soon manifested itself, and he went about town excitedly demonstrating his improved condition to all who would look. Some days later he disappeared, and the doctor was much disappointed, because he wanted him for an object lesson to convince others of the efficiency of the treatment. To the great surprise of the hospital staff, he turned up again soon afterward with thirteen other sufferers from "yaws," whom he had brought a distance of fifty miles from his native village.

To instruct the people perennial teachers to house and sending their children to them, the boys are taught to construct looms, and the girls to use them for making cloth. Each girl, on completing her course of education, takes her loom and returns to her own village, thus extending her newly-acquired knowledge of weaving to her family, and friends. At Bua is an Igorot girl's school in which the pupils not only make cloth, but manufacture articles of clothing for sale. Baguio, the capital of Benguet, is growing by rapid strides, and new and substantial buildings are springing up on every side. Useful plants and particularly vegetables, including the Irish potato, are being placed in the hands of the wild people. Their agricultural methods at present entail great labor with limited results. They patiently clear a forest tract with bolos, the flesh with primitive implements, and sow seed. Then after a short time, the growth of weeds drives them to fresh areas of performance has to be repeated. What the Americans propose to do is to provide them with modern tools of husbandry, and with carabasos whenever possible. A point by no means to be lost sight of is the fact that these wild people of Luzon are not savages of an ordinary type. Not only is their physical development superb, probably surpassing that of any other race of human beings in the world, but they are highly intelligent and even clever. Given the advantage of two or three generations of children as are now being afforded them by the American people, far exceed in intellectual qualifications the Filipinos of Manila and other coast towns. Indeed, it does not seem at all unlikely that in the future they, rather than the Filipinos, will become the dominant race in Luzon, controlling the affairs of the island and even those of the whole archipelago, in case we should voluntarily surrender sovereignty. In the meantime, while trying to uplift them in the scale of civilization, the government of the United States is making every effort to fight against civilization's evil influences—especially the diseases which have undermined the moral and aesthetic of so many primitive peoples on coming into contact with the corrupting Caucasian. Defective Page RANGER IS A HERO Real Men to Be Found in Coeur d'Alene Reservation How Captain of Fire Fighters, by Cooliness and Bravery, Prevented Loss of Thirty-five of His Crew In Northern Woods. Boise, Idaho—Professor Welling, tanned and toughened by his summer's work in the Coeur d'Alene national forest reservation, held his eastern visitors spellbound with stories of the fight he had helped to make against the fearful fire fires, says the Youth's Companion. He had gone out, with two others, under government commission, to study the forest and, coming back in August, they had met the fires and spent almost a month in fighting their way out of them. “There are real men among these forest rangers,” he went on. “In fact, there is no place for anything that is not genuine up there. The most thrilling story of heroism that I have heard in a long time is the story of Ranger Pulaski. It did not happen in the part of the reservation where I was, but I can vouch for its truth, for I have talked with some of the men who were with him. “Pulaski had forty men under him, and they had been fighting a big fire for hours. Suddenly the wind rose and the fire got beyond them, and it became the saving of the lives of the men. They were many miles from a railroad or a clearing. "Pulaski remembered that about a mile from where they were working was an abandoned mine shaft that ran back about forty feet into the hillside. He ordered the men to snatch their blankets from the camp and run for this shaft. Once there they packed themselves like sardines and Pulaski placed himself at the opening and stretched a blanket across it at the opening. "In a few minutes the fire overtook them. The blanket at the opening caught and Pulaski jerked it away. Again and again this was done, and when the supply of blankets ran low he held the burning fragments across the mouth of the shaft with his bare hands. "The suffering of the men from the heat and smoke was pitiful. They were fairly maddened by it, and some of them made a wild attempt to push the blankets while Pulaski held them back by sheer physical strength, for he was an unusually strong man. But he knew that he must soon be overworn. Sample of Protected Forests. ered, and that the men, in their frenzy, would rush out to certain death. He drew his revolver and told them that he would kill the first man to attempted to break away. The men knew that he meant it, too, and that knowledge brought them back to reason. "It wasn't more than twenty minutes before the worst of the fire had passed the shaft. When it was safe to crawl out they found that five of the men were dead from suffocation, but the other thirty-five were all right. Pulaski himself was blinded and he was partly restored. He lost five lives, sure, but with less courage and presence of mind he would have lost them all. I take off my hat to such a man. He is a real hero." BREAKS JAIL TO FEED CATS Nevada Miner Trampa Forty Miles That His Pets May Not Suffer— Act May Bring Freedom. San Francisco, Cal—When James Watkins, a miner, was placed in jail at Searchlight, Nev., recently, charged with having stolen a pair of lace curtains, he asked the jailer to see that his pet cats were fed. The jailer laughed at him, but when night fell Watkins broke and tramped forty miles across the desert to attend to the sheriff followed him next day in a motor car and found Watkins pouring milk for the cats at his cabin. The charge against Watkins probably will be dismissed, his accuser having been impressed by the miner's affection for his pets. THE APPEAL STEADILY GAINS BECAUSE: 4-It is the organ of ALL Afro-Americans. 5-It is not controlled by any ringleader. 6-It asks no support but the people s. Hongwanjil Temple at Kyoto, Japan, Crosses Takla-Makan Sand in Thirty Years. Tokio, Japan.—Rev Zuicho Tachibana, a priest of the great West Hongwanjil temple of Kyoto, returned to that place recently after five years spent in exploration in India. He writes a correspondent. His journey was undertaken for purposes of research under the instruction of Count Otani, the lord abbot of the Hongwanjil temple and an enthusiastic geographer. Mr. Tachibana is a young man of twenty-two years of age and of such delicate physique that the natives said he must be a woman disguised as a man. Mr. Tachibana proceeded from London to Osaka and thence by stage coach in Singapore, thence to Turban in Singapore (the new territory) passable roads were found. During his explorations Mr. Tachibana traveled across the Takla-Makan desert, which he describes as the Sheltered at the Edge of the Desert, worst of all deserts in central Asia. Neither birds nor even insects are to be found there. The desert is a sea of sand, where there is only the wind to hear and the moon to see. The party constantly met sand mountains over 12,000 feet high, and the men began to grumble, fearing that they would be buried by the constant sandstorms. On arriving at Goma, on the right bank of the River Tarim, he caused considerable fright among the shepherds, as his was the first party from the south for thirty years. At first the shepherds fled, but were brought back. The feat of crossing the desert caused greatest reverence by the samurai. At this point he left the camel caravan to follow on slowly, while he proceeded on horseback to Kuchar, which place he reached after three days. This is a large town, though not to be compared with civilized cities. "Nevertheless," said Mr. Tachibana, "I felt on entering it as though I had suddenly been put down in Plecadilly." Some time was spent in the neighborhood of Kashgar investigating the bourne cities and afterward the explorer proceeded through the valley to the east of Tuzunil to Khotan, the districts previously explored by Dr. Stein (now Sir Marc Aurel Stein). Thence the party proceeded to Tibet for the purpose of geological ingestation. Several districts were visited by Mr. Tachibana which had been omitted by Dr. Sven Heden. These regions are absolutely blank on the maps, and have never been visited before. As soon as the records of the journeys have been collated the Hongwang Mr. Tachibana's exploration, which will without doubt be eagerly anticipated in scientific circles in Europe and America as well in Asia. STOWAWAY HEEDS. A VISION Explains That He Received a Divine Summons to Preach to Benlighted Chinese—Is Shipped Back. San Francisco Cal—Harold Yates, a frightened youth, who had seen a vision and started for the Orient to preach to the Chinese, was brought back to San Francisco on the steamer Nile, which reached here recently. Yates "call," by which he was summoned to spread the message of the googles of the steamer the heathen, led him to stow away the steamer Manchuria, which left here Friday. Captain Priefe of the Manchuria listened to the young man's account of his vision, after he had emerged from his hiding place, but decided that it did not entitle Yates to free passage and the stowaway was transferred to the Nile when that vessel was met in midocean. Yates, who was employed as a bellboy at a local hotel, was awakened with difficulty last Friday morning by another bellboy. He explained that he had been listening to a divine summons to the missionary field and hurriedly packed a few belongings and boarded the Manchuria, where he hid in the hold. Huge Telescope Dedicated. Pittsburgh, Pa.—A new 20-inch photographic refractor telescope, valued at $150,000, said to be the third largest instrument of its kind in the world, was dedicated at the Allegheny observatory. Riverview park, in the presence of a distinguished party of scientists and visitors. Huge Mass of Iron Knocked Hole in Earth in Arizona Such is Belief of Prof. Eilhu Thomson — Movement Started to Find immense Piece of Ore Believed to Be Worth Millions. Phoenix, Ariz.—About the origin of most of the craters of the earth's surface there is little dispute. They are of all sizes. We find them in the Sandwich Islands, with floors from three to four square miles in area. These have reminded Professor Pickering of nothing less than the ring craters on the moon. In Arizona, near Canon Diablo, is a crater-like depression, 4,000 feet in diameter and 500 feet deep. The rim can be seen from a great distance, and, such rings being called "buttes," this particular rim is known as Coon butte. The irregular contour of the rim is marked by broken rocks, some as large as a house. The outer slopes down to the plate are covered with similar masses, pieces of comany tone weight, having been thrown thousands of feet away from the crater. But there is no lava about the butte, and this would seem summarily to dispose of the idea that Coon butte is the site of a volcano. Dr. G. K. Gilbert many years ago suggested that the ring-shaped pits on the moon's surface were caused by the impact of giant meteorites, and for some time he held the view that Coon butte must have been formed in a similar manner. This view has been supported by the work of Thomson, in a letter to the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, reminds us that the masses of iron fung down the outer slopes of the crater are sent to all parts of the world as meteorite iron. Mr. Barringe has spent considerable sums in exploration under the firm conviction that he will find a large amount of meteorite in the surface. So far he has been unsuccessful. He is confident that 600 bore-holes, each costing about £400, be necessary to make sure of finding the meteorite mass, assuming it to have been 500 feet in diameter. The mass of the meteorite is estimated to have been at least five million tons. Of this the greater part would be iron, but 8 per cent, would be nickel, and there would be three hundred million more worth about twenty million sterling supposing the price to remain as at present, between £7 and £8 per Arizona's Natural Beauty. ounce. But this is not all. Assuming there is one-hundredth of 1 per cent. of diamond in the mass, one might count on the extraction of about 500 tons of diamond. Which may account for the return of a quarter of a million on boreholes with some equanimity. Professor Thomson tells us that the Navajo Indians have a tradition that three large bodies fell from the sky on the site of the crater and killed a large number of their tribe. They still re-verify that the rocks were white silica sand which they sprinkle around them at their ghost dances. BIG FUEL SHIP IS LAUNCHED U. S. Fuel Vessel Jupiter is First Electrically Driven Seagoing Vessel. Vallejo, Cal.-The United States fuel ship Jupiter, the first electrically driven sea-goaming vessel ever built and the largest ship of any description ever laid down on the Pacific Coast, was launched at the Mare Island Navy Yard. The Jupiter will make about 14 knots an hour. She is 572 feet long by 65 feet beam, draws 27 feet 6 inches, displaces 19,360 tons, and has carrying capacity of 12,500 tons of coal and 375,000 gallons of fuel oil. The keel was laid in October 16 last, and the hull has been built in record time, at a saving of nearly $100,000 over the appropriation of $1,200,000 allowed by Congress. Power is supplied by a 14,000-horse power electric generator. Coal can be loaded from the Jupiter into a warship at the rate of 106 tons an hour, and duplex pumps will permit her to take in or pump out oil to another vessel at the rate of 120,000 gallons an hour. aaa camamaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiaacaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasaaasaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaammmammmmsitamanici foo FT | gm ES Go “erlokos p - ik ye Rpeenu gs i hal CO’ norohts ANG) Bari a Gl: Aer a eh ae \R EIR DN >.

Upon the solid rock of the rights of the individual as grant- ed by the Constitution, the Re- publican party builds its struc- ture of optimism. The Demo- cratic party, on the other hand, in the opening sentence of its address to the electorate, be- trays its recessional quality by denying the right of Congress, a right again and again confirmed by the Supreme Court, to estab- lish protective duties for the ben- efit of American industries. It de- clares as false the vital issue of the constitutional liberties of the individual. Such liberties are now assailed by those who advo- cate the overthrow of the inde- pendence of the judiciary.

Thomas read a sermon that was delivered by him in 1893, on the occasion of the opening of the World’s Columbian Exposition, ‘entitled, “The ‘Universal Brotherhood of Man.” In ‘the audience of over 4,000 persons who heard the ovigiaal sermon there were represeatatives of every race end na- Yon in the world. It was a plea for the abolition of race prejudice and an exposition of the common interests of all human beings. The sermon was a femarkebie one in the undisputable facts it contained. It said: “The hu man mind is the same wherever hu: ‘man beings live. Tt pats men on a common plane, above every other form ‘of life or matter. Be he European, Celestial, Jew or African, he stands above everything around him, Hu- man conscience is the same every- where, It tells every human being to do what he thinks is right, It is the common fossession of men of every race and stage of civilization, . Affec- lions, love of music and the aesthetic sense also, are the common posses- sions of all mez. These things should ‘weld all human beings into a great brotherhood.” | Would to God that taere were many ‘mere mien such as Dr, Thomas who have the courage of their convictions. ‘The last issue of the Tuskegee Six- dent contains a picture of Mr. J.

The egg has been put in alco- hol to preserve it, and we will put this story in our archives for the same pur- pose. ‘They are going some in Indjanapo- liz, The dance hail proprietors have been notified Ly the police authorities that the “Bunay Hug,” “Turkey Trot” and “Bear Cat” are tabooed, and sa- loonl:eepers will no longer be allowed to operate electric pianos, Pretty soon they will have so many lids on the various amusements that a fellow can’t have a good timo if he's got the Rewie?

Senators Senators’ Vocal Triumph Is Rudely Interrupted PRS Lead ES PY SEIS TON As a matrimonial agency the United States bureau of fisheries has stepped into sudden Prominence. The methods of the bu- Teau are unique. The unions are ob- tained with speed and precision. The bureau embarked in its new line of en- deavor the other day. The result of its first attempt is speeding happily westward with a honeymoon in the sweet breezes of the Pribiloft islands as an objective. It all came about in this way. 5 Out in the Pybiloffs there are few white people, but many Alleuts, and the progeny of the Alfeuts are both nu- merous and ignorant. To the bureau of fisheries, which is the real goy- ernment of the Pribiloffs and the Alleuts and seals which there abound, has been delegated the task of bring- ing light where heretofore was dark- ness. The school system of the Prib- iloffs ts @ division of the work of the bureau of fisheries, It is the intention of the government to have two teachers on each of the large islands of the group. The fisheries people prefer that they-have a man teacher and a woman. They also prefer to have them a married couple. Casting about for new material, the bureau found that Alvin G. Whitney of Groton, Mass., wanted to become an Alaskan school teacher. Mr. Whitney passed the examination in fine style. He was just about to be appointed ‘when it was explained to him that the Pribilof government, which is the bureau of fisheries, wanted married teachers. The case was explained to Ge ee moments: ood for small towns, not good for ‘Washington and other largo cities.

In fact, he seribbled a “note” to Pittsburg asking about it before he went farther with the interview. “Girls as a rule do thelr work better than boys,” the positive man admitted. “They are generally more consclen- tious and more careful. They wouldnot ‘be ao apt to be distracted by collisions and fights and fusses and other street ‘sights, and—so far as physical ability Would’ permit—they would be more prompt than boys. “But there the advantages of girl messengers cease.

Minnesota's Leading Afro-American Lawyer, After a Hard Struggle, is Defeated by the Grim Reaper. That "Death loves a shinning mark" bringing letters from various people has again been terribly verified in our prominence. One was to H. G. midst; and Fredrick L. McGhee has Stone, Esq., who cordially received fallen a victim to his unerring aim him and at once took him to the capi. It does not matter though death be to tol and made the motion for his ad expected, his coming is always foll- mission, which was immediately loved by a shock to the loving ones granted, and he had the distinction of o of his husband into which he comes being the first Afro-American to be and to the fraternity of his victim. admitted to practice in the Supreme No death that has occurred in St. Court of Minnesota. He then went Paul in a quarter of century been in Chicago, and on July 3 re more sadly and generally deplored turned to St. Paul bringing his wife than that of Fredrick L. McGhee, whom he married in 1886, and they which occurred at 7:40 p. m. Thurs- have resided here ever since. day, Sept. 19, at his residence, 665 At first he had deak room in the W. University avenue. About a month ago, while chasing some turkcys on his farm in Wisconsin, Mr. McGhee broke one of the ligaments in his right leg, and he had quite a serious time getting about, having to use a cane and then crutches. He finally had to take to his bed卧 to some other trouble, but septic pneumonia set in and, though he made a manly fight, and everything possible was done for him by his physician, Dr. Valdo Turner, who also called to his assistance Doctors Herbert Davis, A. Schweyer and J. M. A. Gravelle, he was compelled succumb to the inevitable. Mr. McGhee was born in Aberdeen, Miss., in October, 1861, and was consequently 51 years of age. After the civil war his parents, Abraham and Sarah McGhee, moved to Knoxville, Tenn. He attended the schools there and later Knoxville College. He early took an interest in the upbuilding of his people and was always prominent among them and secret society circles, and in 1880 was a delegate to the National Council of Good Samaritans at Chicago, and he liked the city so well that he went there to live the same year. There he at once took an active part in the civic and social affairs and for four years was president of the famous Autumn Club. In 1882 he began to study law and after three years was admitted to practice. In 1885 he formed a co-partnership with Mr. E. H. Morris, the foremost lawyer of Chicago. June 17, 1889, he came to St. Paul, Louis Kitchen, 138 E. Third street, for your Sunday dinner. Roast young turkey and apple dumplings will be on the bill of fare. "The Favorite Shining Parlor," Messrs. Beard & Alexander, proprietors, has been moved to 105 E. 5th street, where first class work is done on short notice at all times. According to architects and contractors there will be a big building boom in St. Paul next year and more than $15,000,000 will be expended. That's going some, ain't it? Abdul Baha, head of the Bahais of the world, was in St. Paul Thursday. He spoke at the residence or Dr. C. M. Woolso, 70 Laurel avenue. He left for Omaha yesterday. We had a primary election last Tuesday, and quite generally the right men were nominated on the Republican ticket. Now get ready to carry them to victory in November. Mrs. L. A. Melker, who was visiting Washington, D. C., returned Thursday of last week. Mr. Melker, who was away several weeks visiting Glacier Park, returned last Saturday. Mr. Irvin Young has opened a First Class Barber Shop in the front part of "Daddy" Reid's place, 40 E. Third street, where he is prepared to give satisfaction to all comers. Give him a call.

Deposits amounting to more than $750,000 were made in the postal banks of St. Paul during the first year of their existence, which ended September 1. Withdrawals totaled $245,651, leaving still on deposit $522,85. Mrs. M. Josephberger and and daughter, guests of Mrs. J. E. Johnson, left last Sunday for the South. Mrs. Josephberger returned home to Fort Smith, Ark., and her daughter went to Tuskegee to attend school. From registration fees at the University of Minnesota during August and part of September the grand sum of $100,000 has been received and turned over to the State Auditor. This goes into the University support fund. Miss B. A. Armstrong, a graduate nurse of Freedman's Hospital, Washington, D. C., has arrived from Kansas City, Mo., and is staying at the West End Branch of the Y. W. C. A. She expects to continue with her work. Another dig is to be given to the "common people" after Oct. 1, viz. bringing letters from various people of prominence. One was to ii. G. Stone, Esq., who cordially received him and at once took him to the capitol and made the motion for his admission, which was immediately granted, and he had the distinction of being the first Afro-American to be admitted to practice in the Supreme Court of Minnesota. He then went back to Chicago, and on July 3 returned to St. Paul, bringing his wife, whom he married in 1888, and they had been here ever since. At first he desk room in the office of THE APPEAL, but soon occupied offices in the Union Block where he has been located ever since. His first case was tried on July 10, 1889, in the municipal court, which resulted in his favor. His first appearance at a large public gathering as a speaker was as a list of August celebration given under the auspices of THE APPEAL at the State Fair Grounds, when he took for his subject, "Our National Institutions." Since that time there have been few occasions of any moment in St. Paul, and in fact through the whole country, in which he has not figured, and he gained for himself a place in the hearts and minds of his people that cannot be easily filled by another. At the time of his death he was surrounded by the immediate members of his family, his physician and a few intimate friends; he fought well, as he had always done, but when he found his strength going, he said: "Let God's will be done," and calmly, peacefully yielded up the ghost and passed into that other, brighter world. He leaves his wife, daughter, and a brother in Omaha, and a nost of friends everywhere to mourn his untimely departure. The arrangements have not been fully completed for the funeral, but it will quite likely be held at St. Peter Claver Catholic church of which the deceased was a leading member, at 10 o'clock next Monday morning. Due announcements will be made in the daily papers. No more flat water rates will be allowed. Every person making new water connections will be compelled to put in a water meter and pay 6 cents per hundred cubic feet. Mrs. T. H. Lyles has received an invitation to deliver an address in Washington, D. C. next week, during the National Jubilee celebrating the 50th anniversary of the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation, which begins Monday and lasts until Friday. The place to have your shoe repairing done in the best possible way at the lowest possible price is at JARVIS' 104-106 East Fifth street.

His dental patrons are in the Newington Building, corner 5th and Minnesota, Suite 301-302, where he has the lastest and finest electrical appliances used in up-to-date dentistry. Tuesday last was election day, but it was so quiet one hardly noticed it. Of course those who also ran, did. Strange to say, although there were a lot of complications in the election laws unanimously which the district statewide primary election held there, complaint made to the police of an infringement of the law. Usually policemen are much in evidence on election days, but they were not needed last Tuesday. The grand ball and cake walk that was given by the Band Boys at South Side Auditorium last Monday evening was a grand success. The hall was filled with a swell crowd and everybody had a swell time. The success achieved was due in no small measure to the indefatigable energy and labor of Mr. C. C. Minor, the musical director, while of course the others did their share. It is safe to say that any time hereafter that the Band Boys announce an entertainment the public will respond. Rev. George Washington Camp, of Chicago, who was recently called to the pastorate of Zion Presbyterian church, arrived in the city last Saturday to take permanent charge of the church.

All whom this concerns are earnestly requested to be present. That "the young may die" is a true saying and one that has been forcibly brought to mind in the sudden death of Carl William Salters, son of Mr. and Mrs. March Salters, early Friday morning, from hemorrhage of the lungs. The young man was 25 years, 5 months and 20 days old. Tuesday he acted as clerk at the primary election, and Friday at 7:30 a.m. m. he was a corpse. His funeral will be held at the family residence, 588 Wordsworth Street, York and at St. James A. M. E. church at 2:30 p. m. The deceased was a well known and quite popular young man.

Preparing for a Vocational Lecture Series of Six Lectures, Worth Six Dollars for Fifty Cents. The Minneapolis Sunday Forum is arranging to give a series of Vocational Lectures, six in number at St. Peter A. M. E. and Bethesda Baptist churches, alternating between these churches. For these lectures they have secured the services of the president and professors of the University of Minnesota, and it goes without saying that they will be up-to-the-minute. These lectures are not given for the purpose of making money, but for education and good of those who feel an interest in keeping abreast of the times. Note the subjects and the lecturers: Oct. 4 — "VOCATIONAL TRAINING." by G. F. James, Dean of College of Education, U. of M., St. Peter A. M. E. church. Oct. 18—"MEDICINE AS A VOCATION," by F. J. Wulling, Dean of College of Pharmacy, U. of M., Bethesda Baptist church. Nov. 1—"DOMESTIC WORK AS A VOCATION," by lecturer to be supplied, St. Peter A. M. E. church. Nov. 15—"TEACHING AS A VOCATION," by Prin. D. D. Mayne, Prof. of Pedagogy, College of Agriculture, U. of M., Bethesda Baptist church. Dec. 6—"AGRICULTURE AS A VOCATION," by A. F. Woods, Dean of College of Agriculture, U. of M, St. Peter A. M. E. church. Dec. 20—"SOCIAL SERVICE WORK AS A VOCATION," Dr. George E. Vincent, President of U. of M., Bethesda Baptist church. The very insignificant sum of only 50 cents is charged for a season ticket entitling the purchaser to attend all six of the lectures. Admission to any one lecture, 25 cents. Every one can therefore see the advantage to be gained by purchasing season tickets, which are being sold by a number of young ladies and gentlemen of the Twin Cities. Please bear in mind that the days for these lectures are all Fridays and Saturdays, but at 8:00 o'clock p.m. whether a half dozen people are in the house or not. Come early if you wish to hear all. Everybody is invited. MINNEAPOLIS DOINGS IN AND ABOUT THE GREAT "FLOUR CITY." Matters Social, Religious and General Which Have Happened and are to Happen Among the People of the City.

The Attraction at the Grand Next Week At the Grand for the week commencing Sunday matinee, September 22, with daily matinees, a genuine novelty in the way of burlesque entertainment, to be presented by a large aggregation styled "The New Century Girls," which, by the way, is claimed to be a gathering of pretty, talented girls and a dozen comedians who by first rate quality of humor invite auditors to frequent laughter during the unraveling of the ludicrous complications that take place in "A Busy Day at a Union Station" and "Lord's Reception," which are the names of the two burlesques arranged and staged by the popular comedian, Ted Burns, who plays the principal comedy role in both. The costumes and scenic investitures throughout are impressives, and better voices could not be demanded from the chorus, which is both young and comely, and who sings with pleasing effect. For the benefit of those who demand a plot there is one in both burlesques, but it is sometimes difficult to keep track of, owing to the frequency of the introduction of pretty musical numbers by the entire company. Among the principals, who are all well known to the patrons of this style of amusement will be found Gloria Martinez, who has won the title of "the handsomest girl in burlesque"; Pearl Reid, "the dainty little singer"; Ribbock Rockway, Chas. Saunders and the Notional City Four. The Negro Year Book and Annual Encyclopedia. The Negro Year Book has just been published under the auspices of Tuskegee Institute. Among the subjects treated in the work are: "A Review of the Negro in 1911." "The Economic Progress of the Negro." "The Negro in the Religious Field." "Negro Education." "Negro Soldiers and Heroes." "A Chronological History of the Negro in America." It contains much valuable information in a concise and systematic form. It is bound in paper and has 229 pages.

Perhaps nothing illustrates better the vicissitudes of pronunciation in English then a study of what is called the "Irish brogue." This lingual mode, for it is scarcely to be called a dialect, is usually presumed to be a deterioration of language due to lack of education and contact with legitimate sources of English. It proves after a little study to be a preservation of the old method of pronouncing English, which has come down to a great degree unchanged in Ireland from Shakespeare's time. In Elizabeth's time, however, it came to be realized that if there was to be any real affiliation of the two countries, then the Irish language must be supplanted by English, and a definite effort in this direction was made. This change of speech, resented and resisted, was nevertheless successfully accomplished all over the island, except in the west, within a decade after Shakespeare's death. This fact takes on a new significance when we study what we now call the Irish brogue in connection with what is known to have been the pronunciation of English at that time. The two are found to conform in practically every respect. Irishmen pronounce English as their forefathers learned it; and have preserved their pronunciation because they have been away from the main current of English speech variation ever since.—James J. Walsh, LLD., in Harper's Magazine. PATTERN BY UNITED STATES Nations of the World All Eager to Copy the American Form of Government. "Present purposes are accomplished when attention is called to the fact that under our form of government as our fathers gave it to us, and as their sons perfected it, this nation has enjoyed a prosperity that has excited the wonder and the admiration of the world, and that our form of government has become so popular that other nations are striving to follow our example. In consequence, we have republican governments everywhere to the south of us throughout the western hemisphere. France has followed our example closely. Germany has a written constitution, and, in the Reichstag, untrammed parliamentary representation for the people, while such countries as Turkey, Persia and China are all taking steps, as rapidly as they can, to follow our example in providing a form of government under which men has been able to demonstrate his capacity for self-government."—Joseph B. Foraker. London Stops Piling Up London, biggest of the world's cities, is growing smaller. That is, fewer people are living within the actual working districts—the congested districts—than lived there ten years ago. The decrease is small, only twenty-nine-one-hundredths per cent, but it marks the turn of the tide. London is moving to the suburbs, spreading out on the land, where its children may play in the sunshine—thanks to the "tubes," tramways, electric railways and motor buses. There is a point, then, beyond which population will not be heaped on population; a point where it will began to spread out instead of to pile up. London has reached that point. This is a new tendency, and a wholesome one, 'in the life of the world. The Western Taste A senator who represents a state in the middle west and who is immensely rich was going over the details of a dinner with a Washington steward, says Drury Underwood in the Chicago Post. It was his first formal entertainment and he wanted to be sure that everything was right. The steward had the menu written in French and was translating it on request. "What's that?" said the senator, pointing to a headliner. "Oysters on the half shell," explained the expert. "Oh, that won't do at all," objected the senator. "Give 'em a stew." Drinking Water. During the hot season particularly, one should drink a great, quantity of water—at least one quart a day. The beneficial effect of taking a glass of clear, cold water on arising and before retiring, as well as between meals during the day, will become speedily and happily manifested in a clearer complexion, brighter, new physical, and mental activity and life. Pronounced cases of constipation will be overcome by eating fruit, such as apples, figs, dates and prunes, and by drinking plenty of water. Classified "And the law of supply and demand—" "Tut, tut!" rejoined Mr. Dustin Stax, "that's one of those unwritten laws that are considered only in exceptional cases." Mutual Distrust. "That new salesman is giving you quite an argument." "Yes," replied Senator Sorgbum. "It's the same old story. He thinks we need reformation and we think he needs information."
