The Appeal

THE APPEAL KEEPS IN FRONT BECAUSE: 1-It aims to publish all the news possible. 2-It does so impartially, wasting no words. 3-Its correspondents are able and energetic. VOL. 28. NO. 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.

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.

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 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.

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 its recessional quality by denying the right of Congress, a 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 leave the individual defenseless in the protection of those rights declared inalienable under the Constitution.—Charles D. Hilles, chairman of the Republican national committee. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1912. YE SHALL REAP THAT YE SOW. It has been a contention of THE APPEAL ever since the Southern pastime, lynching, got to be so fashionable, that when the habit became confirmed that the mob would not always hunt up a black man to practice upon. We also contended that the moral effect would be very bad upon the young people. Both of these contensions have been frequently verified. White men have been lynched time and again within the last decade and the lynchers have gone unpunished; in fact lynching has become so common now-a-day that very little attention is paid to it. One of the latest evidences of the state of mind of the youth of the country comes from Butte, Mont., where last week fifteen boys, ranging from 12 to 15 years of age, confessed that they attempted to lynch Joseph Meyers, a chicken farmer whose life had been made miserable and his family destitute by the depredations of the gang of boys. In this case they set fire to the man's house and when he attempted to put out the flames they overpowered him, put a rope around [Picture of a man in a suit with a bow tie].

The screams of the man's wife brought assistance and the man's life was saved, but the house was destroyed. Rest assured that what ye sow that shail ye also reap. There must come a great day of reckoning for the people of this country, and woe betide that day. THE BROTHERHOOD OF MAN. On last Sunday, in Chicago Lawn Congregational church, the widow of Dr. H. W. 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 original sermon there were representatives of every race and nation 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 remarkable one in the undisputable facts it contained. It said: "The human mind is the same wherever human beings live. It puts 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. Human conscience is the same everywhere. It tells every human being to do what he thinks is right. It is the common possession of men of every race and stage of civilization. Affections, love of music and the aesthetic sense also, are the common possessions of all men. These things should weld all human beings into a great brotherhood." Would to God that there were many more men such as Dr. Thomas who have the courage of their convictions. The last issue of the Tuskegee Student contains a picture of Mr. J. H. Washington. General Superintendent of Industries, Tuskegee Institute, standing by a huge watermelon grown by himself. The exact measurement and weight of the melon are 27 inches in length, 43 inches around the largest part, and the weight 72 pounds. Well, if this is the sort of melons they grow at Tuskegee no wonder the boys are so well satisfied down there. The only wonder with us is that the boys ever let it grow to maturity. The melon has been cut and eaten and it is said to have been as good tasting as it was good looking. From Newton, N. J., comes the statement that a White Leghorn hen of that burg laid an egg this week measuring 9.5 by 7.5 inches. It is almost as much of a strain upon one's mind to believe this story as it must have been upon the hen to lay it, although it is said to have had a soft shell. The egg has been put in alcohol to preserve it, and we will put this story in our archives for the same purpose. They are going some in Indianapolis.

Mrs. Anna Charles Froman, of Boston, who has passed the $2nd mile stone in her life's journey toward the grave, attributes her longevity to the facts that she never wore a corset and has not bathed too frequently.

NATIONAL CAPITAL ACTAIRS Corn 25 Cents the Ear on Bill for U. S. Senators BURPEAU OF FISHERIES WASHINGTON.—As a matrimonial agency the United States bureau of fisheries has stepped into sudden prominence. The methods of the bureau are unique. The unions are obtained with speed and precision. The bureau embarked in its new line of endeavor the other day. The result of its first attempt is speeding happily westward with a honeymoon in the sweet breezes of the Pribilof islands as an objective. It all came about in this way. Out in the Pribilofs there are few white people, but many Alleuts, and the progeny of the Alleuts are both numerous and ignorant. To the bureau of fisheries, which is the real government of the Pribilofs and the Alleuts and seals which there abound, has been delegated the task of bringing light where heretofore was darkness. The school system of the Pribilofs is a 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 Pribliff government, which is the bureau of fisheries, wanted married teachers. The case was explained to GIRL telegraph messengers; good for small towns, not good for Washington and other large cities. That is the dictum of telegraph men of the capital who were asked the other day if they thought employment of girls to take the places of lads, those swift-footed Mercuries, the cycling allies of the lightning-tongued wire. "But Pittsburgh is a large city, isn't it?" an inquiring reporter asked. "And Pittsburgh is using it!" "Be Pittsburgh large or small, I say girls would not do for messenger boys," a positive telegraph man said, smiling at his own "Irish." Incidentally, he did not altogether credit the report that Pittsburgh was "trying out" the messenger girl plan. In fact, he scribbled a "note" to Pittsburgh asking about it before he went farther with the interview. "Girls as a rule do their work better than boys," the positive man admitted. "They are generally more conscientious and more careful. They would not be so 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. The bad weather we have in Washington would prevent girls from delivering messages. They just could not stand what our boys have to endure. "It is not necessary to speak of their not being able to go to places where messages have to go. We keen IN THE ground floor of the senate wing of the capitol is a restaurant, with two special rooms reserved for the solons and a big diningroom open to the public. There are times when charges for some items on the bill of fare rise to the altitude of the high priced restaurants in New York—Delmonico's and Sherry's, for instance. There were smiles on the faces of "regulars" among visitors when they spied an item on the bill of fare cutting forth "sweet corn, 25 cents." It brought to their minds visions of dazzling and steaming cobs reposing on a plate. They ordered corn and behead with considerable surprise the SERGEANT-AT-ARMS RANDELL and his assistants were scurrying about the senate side of the capitol just before the recent adjournment, trying to complete a quorum of the senate, and while the senate bells were clanging their summons of senators to that body, the posse was attracted by loud sounds of sweet melody arising from Senator Bradley's room. "My Old Kentucky Home," and "Massa's in the Cold, Cold Ground," and other airs of the south rung through the corridors, drowning out the sound of the senate bell. Upon opening the door of Senator Bradley's office the searchers found Senator Bradley, basso profundo; Senator Smith of South Carolina, tenor robust. Positions for the Fair Sex. Several bank presidents in the smaller towns are women, as well as clerks, tellers, and cashiers. Government experts frequently are among the fair sex, whose defiance of touch makes their fingers especially efficacious for such work as that of the dead letter office. him by Dr. C. Hart Merrilam, one time biologist of the department of agriculture, whose secretary Mr. Whitney formerly was. "Do you know any one who could fill the vacancy at the island of St. Paul to which you will be assigned?" asked Mr. Merrilam. "Sure," replied Mr. Whitney, "Till telegraph and find out about it right away." So Mr. Whitney betook himself to a telegraph office and sent the following to his fancee, Miss Elsie J. Gibson of Burlington, Vt, who was attending the summer school for teachers at Dartmouth college: "Have offer for good teaching position for you at St. Paul, Pribilof island. Salary twelve hundred, matrimony pre-requisite. Answer paid." Twelve hours later Mr. Whitney received an even shorter dispatch. It said: "Leaving for Washington; arrive Sunday morning." Mr. Whitney went to the bureau of fisheries and told Chief Barton W. Evermann of the Alaskan division that he had the candidate for the other teaching vacancy. "Name, please?" said Mr. Evermann. "It's Gibson now, but if you don't want to make out the papers until Monday, it will be Whitney," replied the male candidate. Miss Gibson arrived in Washington in due time. The bridegroom met her, and armed with the necessary District of Columbia license, they sought out the Rev. George Ferguson of the People's church, and were married. Mr. Evermann gave them their commissions calling for salaries of $1,200 each, and their expenses. He also gave them his blessing. They left for their new home after the bride had arranged for the banking of their salaries here in separate accounts. our boys as far from doubtful places as we can, but there are many messages that girls could not carry. "So far as our patrons are concerned, I think they would be very well satisfied with girl messengers. If we employed girls at such work they would, of course, have to wear a uniform of some kind to distinguish them, and their dress would relieve them of much embarrassment they might feel at having to go into men's private fices. But the patrons would not be embarrassed. "Altogether, a girl messenger service would be very picturesque, but I'd hate to have to run one. I have had some trouble with boys, but I do not think I'd know how to start with girls, for I should feel at the beginning that I was attempting the impossible." Just then one of the swift-footed Mercuries came running up to the scene of the interview. He gave a yellow slip to the interviewer, who said: "Didn't I tell you so? Our Pittsburg manager says, in answer to my note, that they thought of trying girls about five years ago, but there's nothing else to that story." serving of one lonely cob of very ordinary dimensions for the quarter mentioned in the bill of fare. Next of the tempting novelties introduced on the bill was "new potatoes, 20 cents." "Well, well," murmured one of the reguars, "a bowel of new potatoes would certainly be excellent for lunch." So he gave the order and the colored emissary returned in due time and set before him a small bowl containing two potatoes, of what seemed to him rather limited cubical contents. "Two potatoes at 10 cents aplece," he observed. "At that rate they must be deemed by the management a luxury fit only for the palates of the rich." The restaurant is owned by the senate and is operated by a manager. It loses money because the bulk of the patronage is limited to a couple of hours at lunch time. The deficit is made good by withdrawals from the senate fund to meet contingent expenses. and Senator Overman of North Carolina, baritone fortissimo, with their coats off and chairs tipped back against the wall, singing as though their lives depended upon the volume of sound emitted. They were duly summoned to appear in the senate instantly, and did so looking a little sheepish and crestfallen that their vocal triumph had been so unceremoniously interrupted. Maintenance of a Microbe. A country school teacher was cashing her monthly check at the bank. The teller apologized for the filthy condition of the bills, saying, "I hope 'no' to microbes." "Not a bit of it" the柜房marmor replied. "I'm sure no microbes could live on my salary." -Inlulukott'a. COLLEGES AND SCHOOLS Knowles Building, Boys' Hall.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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."
