The Appeal

THE APPEAL STEADILY GAINS BECAUSE: 4-It is the organ of ALL Afro-Americans. 5-It is not controlled by any ring or olique. 6-It asks no support but the people's. VOL. 29. NO. 25. COON ADOPTS GUINEAS. Hatched In Kitchen Stove and Kept Warm by Pet. Monessin, Pa.-Smoke, a pet coon belonging to Franklin Sauter, has adopted, a brood of young guinea hens that were hatched in the oven of Mrs. Sauter's stove a few days ago. Local naturalists and woodsmith assert that this is the only instance on record where a coon is known to have overcome his natural instincts to kill all feathered creatures. Several months ago Sauter captured a young coon that had been pulled down and injured by the dogs. It soon became domesticated and became a great pet around the house. Sauter is also a breeder of guinea fowls, which are prone to leave their nests and sit in the fields and woodlands. Missing one several weeks ago, Sauter traced her to the fields and secured her in a cage, which were within a day's time of incubation. Not having an incubator, Sauter put the eggs in the oven of his store, and when they hatched he placed the chicks in a box behind the stove. He was greatly surprised in the morning to find the coon in the box "mothering" them. NO WAGES FOR PORTERS. "Red Tops" on Pennsylvania Must Rely on Tips. Philadelphia.—Some porters in Pennsylvania railroad stations do not get even $1 a month in wages, as Lotterry Boy testified that he did when pleading guilty in Pittsburgh of stealing $5 from a woman passenger. The porters in the Pennsylvania railroad stations, or "red tops," as they say, testified that the cleaning gangs. The men who steal the cleaning gangs get $40 to $45 a month. When "red tops" are needed the station master goes to the cleaning gangs and says that he needs so many men, and the vacancies are filled by volunteers. At first the "red tops" receive no wage at all. They must live solely on tips. But after they have been in the service for some time they get $20 to $30 monthly. The purpose of the small wage is "to make them hustle," it is said. The job of the "red top" is looked upon by the other cleaners as a "gentleman's job," and there is usually rivalry for the places. Any time a "red top" is dissatisfied with his post he can go back to the cleaning gangs. FINDS WATCH LOST THIRTY-FIVE YEARS Timepiece Again Running After Having Been Buried. Monenomile, Wls.-Thirty-five years ago this spring Register of Deeds Alfred Halverson of St. Croix county, then a young man, became the possessor of his first watch, an open faced silver watch, with a heavy case. Young Halverson valued his new possession so highly that he carried it with him at all times, even when he was plowing on his uncle. He was heartbroken after plowing a few furrows one morning to find that the watch had slipped from his pocket and had been plowed under. With his cousin, Edward Halverson, he back plowed the furrows, cross plowed them and then combed the earth for hours in search of the precious timepiece, but in vain. Recently while plowing on the Star Prairie farm, Edward Halverson saw the plow turn something metallic out of his uncle. He stopped and picked it up and fenced it as a silver watch. He at once thought of the owner cousin had lost thirty-five years ago, and although the fields had been changed, he discovered this was where he had helped look for the watch years ago. The thick crystal was broken, and the hinges were rusted, but he returned the old timepiece to its owner, and a jeweler to whom it was taken for repairs discovered that the works were rusted and the adjustment still perfect. A little oil, a new pair of hinges, a new crystal, and the watch when wound started to run as though it had merely run down the night before TRIES TO KISS THE JUDGE. Mexican Woman Seeks to Embrace California Magistrate Los Angeles. — When Mrs. Ricardo Rivera, a Mexican woman, offered to kiss Superior Judge Monroe in gratitude for a gift of $2, which brought her and her husband together again, the magistrate blushed and directed an official to lead her from the courtroom. The husband was up on a charge of failure to provide. He promised to be good, and the court discharged him. Rivera informed the magistrate that he did not have sufficient funds to take his wife with him back to his job at Ontario, whereupon Judge Monroe handed him $2. Nine-year-old Hen Earned $56.70. Republic, Ark. — Mrs. B. M. Lervoid of Republic has lost a remarkable nine-year-old hen which was hard to beat as an egg producer. During its lifetime the Biddy had ninety dozen eggs, which, in its age, a dozen, means $13.50. Each hen had 110 chicks, which at an average of 20 cents each, increased her earnings $43.20, or a total of $66.70. PLANSTO IMPROVE POSTAL SERVICE OFFICIAL STATEMENT MADE. Reviewes Measures Adopted or Com- templated—What Is Being Done With $600,000 Emergency Appropriation—Bettering Railway, Mail and Parcel Service. Washington.—Many improvements in the postal service have been made since Postmaster General Burleson took hold, succeeding Mr. Hitchcock. In a recent statement issued from the postmaster general's office the conditions as they were found when he took hold are reviewed, and plans to meet the emergency which confronts the service are outlined. Among the improvements which have tended to increase the efficiency of the service is the addition of about 1,000 clerks and 500 letter carriers at various offices throughout the country. Approximately $1,000,000 has been authorized for temporary clerk hire and $500,000 for city letter carriers. Such unusual financial demands made it necessary for the postmaster general to go to congress early in May for an emergency appropriation. The sum of $600,000 was granted and an additional $300,000 was appropriated for temporary clerk hire and a like amount for temporary clerks. Burleson points out that on March 5 there were 2,200 vacant postmasterships of presidential grade and some 300 have become vacant since. There were 4,500 fourth class postmasterships vacant on March 5. These vacancies are being rapidly filled as the result of civil service examinations. Mr. Burleson's statement continues: "Within the last sixty days 488 petitions for rural delivery routes have been disposed of, resulting in the establishment of 203 routes, involving an annual expenditure for maintenance of approximately $190,000. By the establishment of these new routes and the extension of old routes more than Photo © by American Press Association. 200,000 people are now receiving their mail at their doors instead of at remote post offices. One of the policy of expediting the delivery of mail the postmaster general has ordered the discontinuance of the back stamping of all ordinary mail which heretofore has delayed its delivery anywhere from twenty minutes to one-half hour. An investigation of the conditions shows that the slight benefits from back stamping were far outweighed by the advantages that would be gained to the public by its discontinuance and hence the prompt forward step by the department. "The parcel post regulations have been modified so as to permit the delivery to the addresssee, without additional charge, of matter reaching the address of address with improper stamps affixed. "By an arrangement made with the Canadian postal service the rates of postage on Sunday editions of daily newspapers mailed to subscribers in Canada, who also are subscribers to the week day editions, has been fixed at 1 cent a pound or fraction thereof instead of at 1 cent for four ounces or fraction, as formerly. "Many of the changes which Postmaster General Burleson has put into effect have to do largely with the internal workings of the department, but their effect will be felt throughout the entire service. "A number of experienced officers of the department are now employed in the field studying conditions with a view to recommending remedies where defects in methods may be discovered. "It is Postmaster General Burleson's desire and earnest endeavor to establish in the interest of economy and efficiency uniform methods and practices throughout the entire service and to direct postmasters to the best way of administering the postal facilities." --- THE APPEAL. SEEKING KIDD'S TREASURE Inspiration From Fortune Teller Leads Rivers In Quest. Oregon City, Ore.—Declaring that he has received an inspiration from a gypsy fortune teller which will lead him to discover the famous treasure of, Captain Kidd, which has been sought for centuries, I. W. Rivers, a prominent Williamette rancher, will start from this city in about two weeks for the Oregon coast. Rivers states that several years ago while he and his wife were visiting at The Oaks they consulted a fortune teller, who told them that they would it would be the treasure. She stated that it would be in a rock which is a prominent feature of the coast acney near Nestuca beach. Last year Rivers and his wife went to the beach and found the cave, which is marked by a cross and a horse shoe. Inside the cave, according to the fortune teller, they were to find the fortune at the end of a log. The log was found by Rivers, but he dug at the wrong end of it and did not get the fortune. This, according to the fortune teller, is just as he would do, for she said he would have to make two trips before he would get the fortune. He is now trying to get capital to finance the scheme. AT 81 WALKS FIVE MILES. Makes Long Trip on Foot to Dance Bunny Hug. White River Junction, VT.—Although he is eighty-one years old, Dana Burbank of Barnard walked five miles to attend an old folk ball here. Mr. Burbank did not learn to dance until he was seventy-six years old. Now he likes it better than anything else in the world. "I never saw the tango or the bunny bug danced." Mr. Burbank told a reporter, "but old as I am I would like to give them just one whirl." "I don't think there is any harm in dancing or attending dances any more than there is in attending church. I know there is a lot said about dancing, and the idea is that it is immoral, but I don't see it that way. I think there is a lot of enjoyment obtained, and it makes you feel that you are not on the shelf of your love to dance, and I am now realizing I misused by not learning before. I don't know just what started me." Philadelphia.-Dr. J. E. Sweet, assistant professor of surgical research of the medical department of the University of Pennsylvania, was held in $400 bail for court here by Magistrate Haggerty on a charge made by the Society For the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Cruelty to dogs in the vivisection and experimental laboratories of the university was alleged. Miss Henrietta Ford Ogden, rich, testified that every Friday for six months she had crawled through a hole in a fence so that she could gain the university and obtain evidence. Miss Ogden identified the back breaking machine, which she alleged is used in the laboratories to crush out the lives of dogs. The machine is best described as a diminutive gallows. A heavy iron weight is operated on ropes and pulleys so that it will descend with sufficient force to break the backbone of any animal held beneath it. Magistrate Haggerty at this point said: "We realize the right of the university to perform necessary animal experiments, but there is nothing for a person who would deform it. It is almost impossible to believe that a civilized human being would use an apparatus of this sort. It is an infernal machine." Samuel S. Geyer, formerly in charge of the university kennels, said that the members of the faculty ordered the surgeons to remove all evidences of cruelty to animals when the legislature was acting on the vivalsection bill. He declared that after the measure was defeated and after the danger had passed the practices were continued. CORNELL MEN'S EARNINGS 1,089 Make $184,906, 32 Per Cent of College Expenses. Ithaca, N. Y.—It is found that 1,089 Cornell undergraduates are partially self supporting, and their combined earnings a year amount to $184,906, or $173 per capita, by figures compiled by the Scroll and Spade, an organization of working students. This sum represents $2 per cent of their college expenses, which amounted to $673,794. Only 123 students are earning their room and board. Of individual earnings 380 men made between $100 and $200, 218 between $200 and $500, 51 from $300 to $400, 31 between $400 and $500 and 42 more than $500.

At First the Campaign Was Regarded as a Mere Moke, but when It came to Destroying Life and Property It Was Another Matter For Officials to Cope With—Many Serious Outrages. London.—A retrospective review of the performances of the militant suffragettes of England—the "wild women," the "bashi hazoukesses," the "brawler squads," as they have been variously called—is starting for the pyramid of offenses, crazy and grave, which they have perpetrated with the idea of securing the vote—an orgy of arson, assault, riot, mischief, self imprisonment, immolation and suffering. The public that first looked upon the "wild women" with grinning tolerance HJ PHOTOS BY American Press Association EMMELINE PANHURT AND DAUGHTER, CHRISTABEL. have now been aroused against the women as the women have been against the government and its officials. The "bobbles," who used merely to good natured "hustie" women about when they came yelling and shrieking in their sieges of parliament, do not hesitate now to ride them down and trample them, to wrench their arms and wrists and even to club them. Despite all, however, they continue to march and burn and rant and riot with delirious wavings of their banners that announce. "No Voices, No Peace!" Here is a summary of the acts of violence by the suffragettes up to the seizure by the Davison woman of King George's entry while running in the Palace. Hating—Eight years' siege of the house of parliament, fighting the police with tooth and nail, with bricklets and buring bombs of stifling acids, whips and red pepper; pelting them with tipped rippers on the roofs with fire axes; charges of battalons of umbrella lances; jujutsu and skyrocks and Roman candles. Assault--Three times gave Premier Aquith violent shakings, twice whipped Winston Churchill; beat Sir Angustin Birrell, first secretary for Ireland, into unconsciousness in St James' park; struck Lloyd-Gore in the face with a brass bound box; struck John Redmond with a brick; tortured a man caught in one of their meetings, pinching him and jabbing him; punched and stamping on him; threw him out of the room; screamed threats of violence in Queen Mary's ear; hurled "pamlets For Women" pamphlets at King George's head; wounded 500 policemen and killed one. Mallicous Mischief--Smashed more than 10,000 windows in London buildings, stores, clubs, newspaper offices, government buildings; destroyed hundreds of thousands of letters by deluging mall boxes with burning acids. paint and refuse; threw acids into poll boxes on election day; ruined $5,000 worth of orchids in Kew gardens; defaced valuable paintings in the Royal academy and Glasgow galleries. Incendiarity--Tried to burn British museum; burned Royal theater and six fine residences; wrecked Lloyd-Gore's suburban home; burned building at Eton school; tried to burn track horse; tried to blow up three railroad stations; fired famous Nottingham forest. VERY OLD PAPERS FOUND. Documents Signed by Presidents Jackson, Arthur and Grant. Greeley, Colo. - Valuable papers which have laid in a closet in the courthouse for years apparently forgotten were unearthied the other day by County Clerk J. E. Snook, the very existence of which had been entirely unknown in the past decade. Included in the lot were a number of land patents for which the owners have been invited to call. One was issued to Jeremiah Williams, a corporal in Captain Clum's company in the war of 1812, in exchange for scrp which he got for services. The patent was signed by Andrew Jackson on Oct. 1, 1867. Another was granted to Elizabeth Cormack on Oct. 30, 1874. This patent was issued with the S. Grant was president of the United States. Land patents were also issued to James Russell and to Samuel Roberts in 1870. President Chester A. Arthur signed the patent granted to Michael Carey, and there is also one for John Benson signed by the same hand. SNAKES OVERRUN HOME. Make Incursions From Family Well Near the Residence. Glendale, Ia.—The prelimbs of William Horton, near this place, are infested with snakes to such an extent that he and his family are in danger of being driven from their home. The snakes are a spotted variety of blue racer from two to four feet long. Last summer Mr. Horton had a similar siege and killed nearly a hundred of the reptiles. The chief source of the snakes seems to be the family well, which stands near the back door and from which the family has for many years drawn its water for drinking purposes. The serpents have entered the house, one big one having been killed there this summer. So offensive became the old family well on account of the swarming reptiles that it became necessary to build a cistern for drinking water. Mr. Horton's little children are kept out of the yard for fear they will be bitten. The slaughter of the snakes goes on daily, but the situation appears to be hopeless. MUTE MONTHS, GIRL RESUMES TALKING Peculiar Case Brought on by Overstudy at School. St. Louis—Irene Burnes, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James C. Burnes of Hilyard, who for the last seven and a half months has been confined at the Sacred Heart hospital on account of a most serious and peculiar case of hysteria, which baffled local physicians for several months on account of her refusal to talk, is improving. In about a month she will be able to leave the hospital, at which time she will be taken for a visit to Lewiston, Ill. Miss Burnes was at her home for a few hours recently, the first time since Oct. 2, when she was taken to the hospital. Although she has not entirely recovered her power of speech, she will at times, especially in the mornings when rested, talk for a little while. she understands all said to her, but under condition can she talk unless she be thoroughly rested. Miss Balloy, her nurse, takes her for a walk each day. Miss Burnes since March has been under the care of Dr. W. T. Phy. The illness was brought on last summer as the result of overstudy at a summer school and following the excitement of the final examinations. BREAKS HIS WOODEN LEG. Jaller Nails It Together So Prisoner Can Go to Workhouse. Pittsburgh- James Burns, sixty years old, giving his home as Homestead, charged with vagrancy, was sentenced to the workhouse for thirty days by Magistrate Justus Schroedel in the east end police station. Burns has a wooden leg, and while he was in a cell another prisoner fell on the leg and broke it. Burns told one of the turnkies that his leg was broken, and the officer thought it was a human leg. When he discovered his mistake he took the wooden leg and nailed it together so that Burns was able to get to the workhouse. Free Drinks For Chickens. Kansas City - A dozen chickens in a coop at the city market were deluged by a broken jug of whiskey. As the jug's contents tricked toward the gutter the chickens stuck their heads through the slats of the coop and slipped the liquor. Soon afterward the roosters began to crow nobly, the pulets fapped their wings, and it was evident all the fowls were drunk. Expected $50,000. Not Nothing. Arnold, Hels-Helen of Charles Taegee, who died nine years ago, found the key to a safety deposit box which had not been opened for twenty-two years. In the recess they discovered a will, which deprived them of the $50,000 estate which they had expected to inherit. Taegee left his property to his widow, who died in March, and his relatives will get nothing. --- MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY.

LIKENS MENTO GREAT BOOKS New Humanity Urged by "Register 4435" in the Atlanta Federal Prison. Calls Fellow Criminals "Brothers" in His Latest Editorial—Refuses to See Callers at the Prison. Atlanta, Ga.—A new philosophy, full of humanity and understanding, has been born to Julian Hawthorne, son of the great novelist, since he became "register 4435," an inmate of the federal penitentiary here. The deepest human element appears in everything he has written for Good Words, the prison paper, and is creating for that journal a unique literary interest. The son of Nathaniel Hawthorne has turned "minister to the heart and conscience" of his fellow convicts. More than in anything else is this new found sentiment set forth in his prison poem, "Pool False," written to the men who night after night trump ceaselessly back and forth in their eight foot cells. He has come to understand the power that drives them. "Brother, I know," is the refrain of the poem. A recent issue of the paper contains the beginning of a new department of which he will be conductor. He writes of books, prescribing a model course of reading made up of the choicest literature of all countries and of all time. Reverence for his father is implied in selection of two books of Nathaniel Hawthorne, "The Scarlet Letter" and "Our Old Home." But along with his essay on literature he wrote of another subject which has become more interesting to him, he says, since he became an inmate of the prison. "There is another and a greater library," he said in his column. "It is distributed among the ranks in pairs, with a shelf to each volume. Their binding is homogeneous—stout blue cloth on ordinary occasions, which on JULIAN HAWTHORNE. Sundays and holidays changes to a woolen fabric of darker hue. They bear titles on the front and back. "There is a sprinkling of the poetical element and a good deal of fiction, but each carries a historical and biographical index often illegible—stories of crime mingled with tragedies, or you find a farce or a comedy. "Moreover, these volumes grow, decay and die; chapters are added from time to time, but the tale seldom ends happily. These are the books that God made—not always, much to look at, but containing a great deal of human interest if you can get beneath the cover." Hawthorne has shaken hands with "Dutchman, Dago, Yankee, Greek," to use the words of his great prison poem, and he calls them brothers in everything he writes. With his fellow prisoners Hawthorne is all affairly, but he is not a man, and no one. His request made to Warden Moyer was that he be not known as Julian Hawthorne, the son of the great novelist and himself a prominent literary man, but merely as "register 4435." A reporter, presenting in writing a request for an interview, received from Hawthorne the following answer: "I must ask you to excuse me. Here I am, as you know, not a name, but a number. If anything I have written for Good Words has done good or has caused interest I am glad, but have nothing to say about it." The new Hawthorne who "know," the minister to the conscience, is revealed in one paragraph which he wrote for Good Words. "Instead of feeding upon angry and revengeful thought," he said, "which corrods the heart that generates them, use the occasion to extirpate sinister generosity and to invite impulses of generosity and good will. Upon your prison term as an opportunity to repent of the evil in you that man know not of." In an editorial which he wrote for the paper is implied a justification of his own act which brought about his conviction.

On Border Six Months at Least, Says General Wood. Galveston, Tex. - Major General Leonard Wood, chief of staff, has declared that the second division of the United States army will remain mobilized at Galveston and Texas City "until the causes of the mobilization are removed." "I do not know just how long the division will remain mobilized," he said, "nor does any other man know. I am sure the stay will be a long one, six months or more." General Wood, who was on a tour of inspection of border camps, visited Fort Saskatchewan here and expressed satisfaction that the training of the men in maneuvers and mobilization would be valuable to the army, he declared, and he directed that the greatest attention be given to the solution of the transportation problem. He insisted that the evolving of a new plan for the distribution of supplies for an army in the field was all important. MAILED A GREEN COCOANUT. Case Where Postoffice Carried Package Containing Liquid. Indianapolis, Ind.—"Guesn you'd better handle this carefully. Sounds like it might break," said a postman as he gingerly handed a big brown package over the desk of a hotel here. The clerk looked first at the package, then at the postman, with a puzzled expression on his countenance. He picked up the package and shook it. There was a sound of dashing water, then he saw the label, "Palm Beach coconut," and he laughed. It was not a patent bottle or an ostrich egg. It was just a coconut, but different in appearance from the kind offered in the package. The coconut shell had not been removed, and the label and postage were pasted right on the nut. The coconut weighed three pounds, and it cost 24 cents to send it by parcel post from Palm Beach, Fl. The nut was sent to Homer 1. Cutsinger. SECOND TRIAL SOON FOR SZABO MURDER Burton W. Gibson to Be Tried In Newburg This Time. Newburg, N. Y.—Burton W. Gibson will shortly be placed on trial for the second time charged with murder in having strangled Rosa Menschik Szabo in a rowboat at Greenwood lake, July 16 last. The previous trial of the lawyer took place last November at Goshen, Orange county, before Judge Arthur S. Tompkins and a jury of farmers. There seemed to be every indication of conviction, but the jury disagreed. It was later learned that jurymen were affected by the fact that the prosecution was conducted by Assistant District Attorney Isidor Wasservogel of New York county. "Orange county has as able lawyers as New York county," said one. "At the next trial there will be an Orange county jury, an Orange county judge and an Orange county prosecutor." District Attorney John Wilson will conduct the case in person. It is said new witnesses have been discovered and the testimony of some who appeared for Gibson may be impaired. Fact that Gibson will be tried again in spite of the expense, indicates that the prosecutor believes he has a very strong case. Gibson will be arraigned before Judge Tompkins in Newburg instead of Goshen. CATCHES PUMA WITH ROPE. Mountain Lion Measures Nine Feet From Nose to Tail of Tall. Montrose, Colo.—A mountain lion, the largest ever captured in this part of the country, was caught by Url Hotchkiss, hunter and trapper of Colonia, six miles east of here. The lion stonda three feet high, is nine feet from tip of nose to end of tail and weighs 146 pounds. Hotchkiss heard of the lion and, in company with his son George and Roy Humphrey, started out with a pack of dogs. The dogs treed the lion. Hotchkiss climbed the tree and only with the lion clawed him down several feet, but finally he drew the rope around the beast's neck. The other men hauled the animal down, secured him with ropes, and the party took the lion to Colonia. TO MAKE SPARROWS DRUNK. When Intoxicated They Will Be Killed Humanely. Greeley, Colo. — This town, founded by Horace Greeley for the promulgation of temperance principles and which never has had a saloon, is soon to see drunks in large numbers if the plans of ten women are carried out. They plan to get intoxicated English sparrows and finches, especially the females, in order that the two may be separated and the sparrows put peacefully to death. The idea is to put out pans of seed soaked in alcohol. The birds flock to the pans, eat and soon are drunk. The English sparrows, which kill off the finches, will be killed, and the finches, which destroy harmful insects, will be allowed to get sober and fly away. IVE YOU REND THE APPEAL?

Entered as second class matter June 6, 1883 at the postoffice at St. Paul 1883, under act of Congress, March 3 1883. SATURDAY, JUNE 21, 1913. Mr. James Bryce, former Ambassador from Great Britain to the United States has written a series of articles on South America in which he tells of many things along national or color lines of interest. For instance, speaking of Brazil he says: "In Brazil when the Negro is able to take his stand so far as education and property go, beside the white man, he thinks and acts like a white man and is so treated." One of the reasons that Afro-Americans in this country are treated with so little consideration is because they do not think and act like men. Manhood is recognized and respected whether the possession of it is encased in a black, white, brown, red or yellow skin. The entire federal "civil rights" act of 1875, imposing criminal penalties for discrimination against Negroes, was declared void Monday by the supreme court of the United States. The court held because it was not applicable uniformly throughout the country, it was entirely unconstitutional. As this highest legal tribunal has never but once, decided anything in favor of the 10,000,000 Afro-Americans of this country its actions Monday are not surprising. The eminent Dr. William J. Mayo the noted surgeon of St. Mary's hospital of Rochester, Minnesota, speaking on the authority of his study in 1,000 cases of cancer declares that cancer of the stomach is curable. This gives new hope to those who are suffering from that dreaded disease. The Supreme Court of the United States has decided the great Minnesota rate case in the favor of the state. It will prove to be very far reaching in more ways than one and if it does not reach out to the great detriment of Afro-Americans, we miss our guess. Watch out for it. They are having a serious disturbance in Mexico City, in which it is possible that this country may feel called upon to take a hand. GREAT AIR FLEET FOR THE GERMANS $25,000,000 Will Be Spent on Military Aviation, and New Fortresses Are Expected to Cost $52,000,000—Ten Dirigibles and Fifty Aeroplanes, With Crews of 1,452 Men. Berlin—Germany's plans for a big aerial navy have been made public. The fleet of airships and aeroplanes, which is to be entirely separate from that connected with the army, on which nearly $25,000,000 is to be spent, will cost $12,500,000. A bill appointing $750,000 as the first outlay was introduced in the reichstag. It calls for ten naval dirigible balloons of the largest size, of which eight are to compose the active fleet and two are to be held in reserve. Fifty-four double revolving balloon halls, into which the dirigibles will be able to enter regardless of the weather, are to be erected and two more to be kept in reserve. Fifty aeroplanes, of which thirty-six are to form the active fleet and four. [Image of a city skyline with a large airplane flying overhead]. GERMAN ARMY DIRIGIBLE FLYING OVER BERLIN. teen the reserve, are also to be built, to be manned by a special corps of 1,452 officers and men. The appropriations for this fleet to be spread over the years 1914 to 1918 include $8,750,000 for dirigibles and $2,250,000 for aeroplanes, while $1,500,000 is asked for in connection with the pay and maintenance of the crew. The life of the new airship is estimated at only four years each. The sum to be devoted to military use is unexpectedly high, reaching $19,750,000, the impersonal estimates of $5,000,000 to be added to the sum of $25,000,000 is assigned for the construction of new fortresses. After the passage of the army bill the land forces of Germany on a peace footing will comprise 33,800 officers, 661,176 privates and 15,000 one year volunteers. The balance of the total of 870,000 will include medical, veterinary and pay officers, artificers, the hospital corps and other noncombatants. The imperial parliament, it is argued by the newspapers, will undoubtedly raise a rather modest number of the new tax proposals, rejecting the demanding the substitution of others which will weigh more heavily on the well to do classes. Dr. Otto Wiemar, the leader of the Progressives in the rechstag, expresses the opinion that the debate on the military measures will not be finished before the summer recess. In Germany are to be subjected to the same basis as German subjects. TO DIG LONGEST TUNNEL. Canadian Pacific Will Bore Sixteen Miles Through Mountain.

One of the best and simplest tests is to put a pint of water in a flat earthen vessel, evaporate it quickly and scrape the receptacle clean of any residue.

The idea originated in the fertile brain of the Superintendent of the Sunday School, Mr. Orrington C. Hall, and the University by Mr. B. C. Archer assisted by Grace Booker, worked out the details as to speakers, participants on the program and raised the money to purchase the splendid encyclopedia of botany which was presented by the University generally. Douglass Lodge presents the medal. He was also presented several other tokens of friendship by admiring friends. Prof. Parker was the first St. Paul Afro-American boy to receive the degree of Bachelor of Science at the University of Minnesota and the first to graduate from the College of Agriculture. The church was filled with his friends who listened with pride and pleasure and punctured with applause the excellent program, as follows: Organ prelude, Mr. Robert Strong; inpatient, Mr. Parker as a Sunday school student; Mrs. Addie Bellesen, substituted for Mrs. O. M. C. Hall; selection, St. James choir; "Mr. Parker as superintendent of the Sunday School, Mr. B. C. Archer; vocal solo, Mrs. Mattle Campbell-Blair; "Mr. Parker as a churchman; Rev. J. S.

Parker, singing (with the kids), etc. congregation, benediction, Rev. A. H. Lealtd. The entire affair was delightful in every way. TO THE FRIENDS. Mr. Editor—Will you kindly allow space for an expression of our deepest thankfulness for the various expressions of esteem tendered to our son upon his graduation from the university, and on the eve of his departure for his new field of labors. The eviction shown by the testimonial on Friday was appreciated for little did we think so many friends were interested in his welfare, and the impression made upon him was such that his every effort will be to prove that you have not misjudged him. Again we thank you all most heartily. Mr. and Mrs. F. D. Parker. DELEGATES TO N. N. E. CONGRESS For Minnesota are Appointed by Gov. A. O. Eberhart. Governor A. O.

HOT TIME FOR DELINQUENTS We clip the following from one of our exchanges to warn our delinquent subscribers what a hot time they will have if they fall to pay their newspaper bills. The same fate awaits our slow-paying advertisers: "An editor who died of starvation was being escorted to Heaven by an angel sent for that purpose. "May I just glance in at the other place be- fore we ascend to eternal happiness?" So they went below and skirmish around, taking in the sights. It so happened that the angel lost track of the editor and went around Hades hunting him. He found him sitting by an enormous furnace, fanning himself and gazing with rapture upon a crowd of lost souls in the fire. Over the furnace was a sign bearing the words, "Delinquent subscribers." editor, "I'm not going. This is heaven 'Come,' said the angel, 'we must be going now.' You go on,' said the enough for me." A coquette is a woman who places her honor in a lottery; ninety-nine chances to one that she will lose it. PARCELS POST INFORMATION. St. Paul, Minn., Jan. 4, 1913. Publisher, THE APPEAL. Sig.
