"A NO.1," FAMOUS HOBO, MARRIED Thirty Years' Tramping Around the World at Total Expense of $7.61 Railroad Fares—Learned Four Languages. Now Prominent Citizen of Erie, Pa, Where He Settled Down. Erie, Pa.—"A No. 1," the "champion hob" of the world, has settled down and married. The Wanderer who made his home from Situ to Sitka has crammed himself up in a six room apartment. The tramp who has been sleeping in box cars for full thirty years now has a mahogany bed. For a third of a century he drifted away from Chile to Alaska. He rode "hode for more than half a million miles. It has more scenery at less overhead cost than look than any man living. In thirty cars only $7.61 railroad fare. But he never smokes, drinks or gambles. His only great passion was the wanderer. And now this hobo has forsaken the road, fallen in love and married. One night in February, 1911, a freight train chugged into the yards at Erie, Pa. The night was coid and a stinging sieum was falling. "A No. 1" was hidden away in one of the box cars dosed. The car inspector routed him out and found that he was half frozen. He took him to his shunty and shared his remainder of the night. "A No. 1" remained sleeping in the glare of a red hot stove. It was an unusual act of kindness for a hobo to receive. "A No. 1" vowed that he never forget it. Last November "A No. I" visited Erle again, and this time he brought a present for his true friend, the car inspector. He was invited to call at the inspector's house. He accepted the invitation. Then he met the inspector's "A NO. I." daughter, Miss Mary Abigail Trohoski, a high school graduate, twenty years of age and a finished musician. In that one night Cupid accomplished for the roamer what "A No. I" had been trying to do for himself for a quarter of a century. Love was stronger than wanderlust, and they were engaged. The announcement caused consternation among the ladies of Erie. They whispered about the outrage of pretty Miss Trohoski throwing herself away on a hobo. Some of her friends came to her with tears in their voices and pleaded with her to reconsider it. All in vain. Miss Trohoski replied that hers was not the common variety of hobo. She was right. He is the most remarkable rookie in their voices and became a yeggman kid. A yeggman trump doesn't help; he robs; he would blackjack a man for a meal. He always has a kid to travel with him, for the child can stand outside while he is cracking a safe and give him the signal when a "copper" approaches. Besides, the kid, with the appeal that his tender years makes, can get food for both by begging for it, while a regular old tramp would be more likely to get jail. The yeggman that this hobo traveled with thirty years ago called him "A No. 1 kid. The boy got his "moniker" from this: tramps never have real names. They are called "Alkali Ike" (A No. 2) in the man on the like. Ask A No. 1, his man on the like. Will he reply "Sh-sh-just A No. 1." He has a picture of himself and Jack London taken during their companionship on the road in 1894. "A No. 1" also possesses autographed cards from Thomas A. Edison, Luther Burbank and William H. Taft. Another card has this tense note: "I know 'A No. 1' to be O. K. Theodore Roosevelt." "A No. 1" has prevented twenty railroad wrecks in as many years. He has letters from three different railroad presidents thankking him for his saving of property and life. A $10,000 wager once by "deathbaiting" his way from New York to San Francisco in eleven days and six hours. With $750 of this he bought a tomb at Cambridge Springs, Pa., and inscribed this epiphon on it: The remaining $250 he spent in rescuing boys from the hard life that has held him in its grip for so many years. TO MARRY COUPLES FREE. One of the New Social Plans of Trinity Church in Chicago Chicago. - Marriage ceremonies for which no fee will be accepted is one of the innovations which will be inaugurated at Trinity Episcopal church in case a fund of $10,000 a year can be raised to make possible the extension of the church's activities. "We wish to make historic Trinity something like the Little Church Around the Corner in New York" declared Andrew R. Sheriff, chairman of the campaign committee. "It is proposed to have a clergyman in attendance at all hours of the day and night to offer spiritual consolation, perform baptisms and marriage ceremonies and attend to the physical needs of the poor. An after midnight service on Sunday mornings for actors, newspaper people and those detained downtown late is also probable, while the social center work of the church will be greatly extended." At one time Trinity church had eighteen multimillionaires as members of its congregation. Many of the wealthy members have moved away, making the task of maintaining the church a serious problem. "SABLES" OF RABBIT SKINS. America Sends Many Pelts to Paris Every Year. Spokane, Wash.-Local postoffice employees who loaded and unloaded four wagon loads of rabbit pelts consigned to Paris believe they have discovered the source of some of the "sable" fur of the world's fashion center. Honor Elvira appointed of the railway mails, was appointed not long ago when the postmaster at Chewalwired him that sixty big mail pellets would be required to ship a consignment of rabbit skins to Paris. While Mr. Elwired considered the request a joke, he finally sent the pouches. Railway mail clerks declared that they had been receiving small shipments of the pelts for several weeks. The best shipment is said to have been made in Openerhappe, a buyer. The parcel post rules provide dried pelts may be sent through the mails. BE A SPINSTER AND LIVE LONG, HE SAYS Life Insurance Man Gives Statistics on Death Rate. New York.—The spinster lives longer than the married woman. The business woman lives longer than the business man. The woman who takes out an endowment insurance policy lives longer than the woman who takes out a straight life policy. The facts—and Arthur Hunter, actuary of a leading company, said they were facts—were gathered last year by experts in the employ of the forty-three leading companies in this country. Mr. Hunter didn't explain why the unmarried woman survives the matron nor why the business woman outlines the business man, but he revealed why the woman who takes onto herself an endowment policy lasts longer than the woman who has to die to win. The endowment woman just gets up her spirit and determines to live in a policy matures," he said. "The other woman does, what's the use? and shuffles off." Mr. Hunter said there were more fatal accidents in this country than elsewhere because of the American "I'll take a chance" spirit. The American, he says, takes all sorts of risks to save time and inconvenience. The foreigner doesn't do that at home, but when he comes here he becomes infected. "The mortality rate among engineers and firemen is eight times that of men in other callings," he said, "and among policemen about 40 per cent higher. With policemen it is on the increase." Mr. Hunter said that the business woman kept herself going by a determent to fight it out. She had something tangible, something to whereas the business man takes his work as a matter of course and is apathetic. "JAG" CURE COSTS $10,000. Minnesota Experimental Farm Saves Thirty nine Patients in a Year. Thirty-nine Patients in a Year. St. Paul.-Minnesota's "jag farm" at Wilmur has succeeded in its mission, but it has been an expensive enterprise, according to the report. The cost of running the farm for a year was $622. Eighty-eight men were admitted for treatment. Thirty-nine were said to have been cured. Thirteen have relapsed. Eleven are missing and thirteen are back for more treatment at $10,000 per cure. Feel of Corpse Revives Him. Elwood City, Pa. - When Ed Williams, a negro, who was thought dead, revived, stretched his arms and touched a nearby corpse he "came to life" suddenly. With a yell he sprang from a stretcher on which he had been placed and raced down the street with only a sheet as a covering. Police to Stop All Swearing. Cleveland, O.-The police of this city have been ordered to halt all persons heard swearing and scald them. THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS. 28 YEARS TO ACCEPT DIVORCE When Husband Returns Wife Pays Cost and Gets Decree. Towanda, Pa. — Feeble with the weight of years, yet determined in manner, Mrs. Hanna Harrison entered the courthouse and demanded the papers in a divorce granted her twenty-eight years ago. Prohibitory Estell spent two hours searching the records and finally found that back in the eighties Mrs. Harrison had been granted a divorce from James Harrison on the grounds of desertion. The decree was to become effective when Mrs. Harrison paid the costs of the case. The conditions were explained to the aged woman, and she said she knew all about it and was ready to pay the costs as required. Then she explained that about the time the divorce was applied for she heard her husband was dead, and she decided that a divorce was not necessary. A few days ago he returned after an absence of over thirty years, and she decided to lift the decree. She accordingly paid the costs and was given the papers, which restores to her her mutilated name. She came out of my life forever when I applied for that divorce, and now I intend to keep him out," said the woman as she placed the court's decree in her hand bag and left the courthouse.

W. REBELS COIN MONEY. Coins Not Pretenious and Look as if Made by Amateurs. Juarez, Mexico.—It is not generally known that the Constitutionalists force in Mexico have coined money in silver and copper. These coins were struck in Chihuahua and are very crudely done—in fact, are about the most amateurish pieces of money that have been produced in many years. The peso or dollar has on one side simply "H del Parral, 1913." in a wreath, and on the other side, "1 peso." The half dollar is more pretentious. On one side is the inscription, "Fuerzas Constitutionalistas, 1913" (Constitutional forces), and in the center a liberty cap surrounded by rays, a copy of the older style of Mexican coins. The reverse has "50 centavos" in a wreath, a poor copy of the present coinage of Huerta. The copper piece, which is said to have been made from trolley wire melted down, is similar to the 50 centavos, but has a "2 C" in a wreath for 2 centavos. 4,422 FOREIGNERS IN AMERICAN COLLEGES 4,422 FOREIGNERS IN AMERICAN COLLEGES Nearly Every Country In the World Is Represented. Washington—Popularity of American colleges and universities with foreigners is shown by the fact that 4,422 foreign students attended these institutions in 1913, an increase of 577 in two years. They are distributed over 275 different colleges, universities and schools of technology. Canada, with 636 students, leads all other countries. China is second with 594, and Japan third, with 336.

EDISON BRAVES DOCTOR'S IRE "Wizard?" Burns Midnight Oil to Perfect Talking Movie. West Orange, N. J.—Much against the advice of his physician and his family. Thomas A. Edison is again burning the midnight oil. It became known here that in a week Mr. Edison has spent less than six hours in his home, Glennmont, in Llewellyn Park. Practically all day long and the better part of the night the "wizard" is on the third floor of his laboratory working on the talking movie. "Any person who knows Mr. Edison is acquainted with the fact that he will never give up interest or work or experiment with a thing until it has become as nearly perfect as possible," said William H. Meadowcroft, his private secretary. Bedridden Twelve Years. Akron, N. J.—O Jacob Herr, seventy-five, who had not been out of his bed in twelve years, is dead.

In the last ten years he had prayed silently for death to relieve him. SATURDAY.MAY 16,1914. ANARCHY CAUSES GREAT UNREST Woman Leads Band Which Seems Bent on Murder. THREATS FREQUENTLY MADE New York City Has Never Before Experienced Such Demonstrations. Leaders Are Pupils of Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman, King and Queen of Anarchy in America. New York. — Unrest among the so-called Industrial Workers of the World, anarchists and other kindred organizations has never before been pitched to such fever heat as now. Demonstrations protesting against various individuals and corporations are held daily. Dealing with the crowds is a great puzzle to the metropolitan police. Orators from the rink and file of the anarchists and I. W. W. are granted the con- Photo by Américan Press Association. "SWEET MARIE" GANTZ. situational right of free speech. Threats of murder and of assassination are frequently made in speeches. The anarchists have never had fuller sweep in their scope of murderous endeavor in any country or in any city than they are now being given in New York. That Alexander Berkman and Emmia Goldman, the king and queen of anarchy in this country, count on a woman to turn the trick of reprisal is seen beneath. Gantz, a follower of the Sean McCarthy, declares, with a multitude of vicious acts, that she would kill John D. Rockefeller, Jr., and went so far as to seek the young millionaire in his own office and attack him. She is the head of the dying squadron of anarchy known as the "Red Angels." The police consider her dangerous. She never ceases to talk. Officers are anxious to use their heavy clubs. They know what it is to deal with anarchists. The youngest of them have heard of the Haymarket riots in Chicago. In March, 1908, in New York, the Haymarket reprisals came near being reproduced when Selig Silverstein threw a bomb into the police ranks. The bomb was poorly made, and it exploded in his own hand, killing him and wounding the people about him. He had a card in his hand, and card with the signature of Alexander Berkman, vouching for him as an anarchist. The cops are not at all in sympathy with the policy of watchful waiting. Moreover, they are puzzled by this new turn of anarchistic strategy—the employment of women in the game of murder. Marie Gantz is only a private in the ranks, but she hopes to become a corporal soon. If she succeeds she will intrust Emmang Goldman herself. That is her ambition, and her life's story verifies the statement. Marie studied anarchy under Emma Goldman. She was the most eager of the students of red coatings. She is young, a bit inexperienced to it. Hazel and what frowns, for the ladies of Emma's school do not take much time about their toilet. She is twenty-three years of age and was born in Austria, the most aristocratic country in the world perhaps. She says that she is a saleswoman, and she has sold goods, beginning with sausages to delicatessen dealers and ending with the selling of Mother Earth and other magazines that fly in the face of established law and order. Surveys Marie is an ironic alia. The sisters gave her the name because of her facial tongue. She uses profanity as an expert. No longshoreman could give Marie points in anathema. Curses ripple from her lips. The cause of this unprecedented upheaval is attributed to the tragedies resulting from the mine strike in Colorado, when thirty lives were lost in battles between strikers and guards. Protests are being made against John D. Rockefeller, Jr.'s, assertion that the mine owners would not recognize the unions. The young man has been accused of being a congressional investigating committee and made statements to which the anarchists objected. One of the features of the demonstrations was the daily appearance of "mourners" in front of his offices, each wearing a craped band around his or his wife. The demonstrators who died in the coalfields while standing up for their rights, they said. Habit Checked, Consumption Reduced Says Government Report. Washington—Consumption of opium among the Filipinos has been completely checked, if not entirely eradicated, says a report to Brigadier General Mintyre, chief of the bureau of insular affairs, from the collector of internal revenue in the Philippines. He says that as a result of laws on the subject "the use of opium is now confined to a comparatively small number of confirmed users of the drug, practically all of whom the Chinese, who cannot give up the vice and who will go to any length to obtain it." While there are in many parts of the islands scattering instances where Filipinos still indulge in the use of opium it is reported that less than 5 per cent of the former Filipino users, who had numbered 40,000 in 1906, were still victims of the vice in 1911 and that then conditions in Manila have greatly improved. Conditions in the provinces are said to be fairly satisfactory. "It is perhaps too much," the report says, "to suspect that the opium evil will ever be absolutely suppressed in the Philippine Islands. It may be said, however, that almost without exception Chinese users of opium in any of its forms are today using a much smaller amount than that used by the same persons a few years ago. This is above and beyond what we can expect which Chinese users sent to the hospital today are cured. The only hope of approximating total suppression lies in making indulgence in the habit so difficult that the younger generation will not acquire it, and in this direction the progress made has certainly been most satisfactory." 18 MOUNTAIN LIONS BAGGED Success of Hunt Conducted In the Yellowstone Park. Gardiner, Mont—One of the most unique hunts in history and one that is being conducted on a large scale is the mountain lion drive in the Yellowstone National park. Within fifteen days eighteen lions were bagged, including a specimen ever seen in this region. The hunt is being run by permission of the government. The largest lion was jumped at a point near Gardiner and led the hunters and dogs a chase of forty-five miles before it was killed near the starting point. The method pursued in hunting the lion is to trail a beast to a large some spot where he seeks safety after desperately trying to outwit the pack of dogs chasing him. The lion then is shot. CLEVELAND USING EASTERN TIME NOW Much Confusion as All Clocks Are Moved Forward an Hour. Cleveland.—Eastern time has officially superseded central standard time here. Clevelanders are fitting their appetites and sleeping hours to the new time. The new time had a preliminary tryout in many business places and homes. In offices clocks were turned ahead an hour at noon lunch period. Employees returned to work on central time, thus getting an extra hour. The majority of Clevelanders, however, lost an hour when clocks were turned ahead. The Cleveland Athletic club observed the change with an "eastern time" party, and factory whistles announced the shifting of clocks. Clocks in public schools were moved ahead. In many buildings special exercises were held. Churches, both Protestant and Catholic, will go by eastern time. At the new courthouse central time prevails, a state statute prescribing central time must be used. So far as the chamber of commerce could learn, not a Cleveland factory or business center must be governed by central standard time. All churches conduct their services under the new order. Theaters, saloons and professional and amateur baseball organizations observe the change. The dairymen and truck gardeners have arranged to make their rounds an hour earlier, so breakfast need not be late. The movement for eastern time became state wide last winter, but the legislature failed to provide for the change. Cleveland then took the initiative. DELIVERS POSTAL TO DOG Carrier Calls "Tige" to every One Until Tight Wall Tails. Hammond, Ind.-A postal card came from Hot Springs, Ark., directed to "Tige" Hammond, Ind. Postal authorities pondered over it long. It read: "Darling Tige, are you a good dog?" and was signed "Mother." Jullus Kosake, a mail carrier, agreed to deliver it. He called "Tige" at dogs all day and was chased by them. He at last came to a house where a bow legged, swaybacky bulp came out to meet him. The dog prowled savagely, and Kosake said "Hello, Tige," and the dog wagged his stubby tail. The carrier asked the woman of the house whether her dog's name was Tige. "It is. Have you a letter from his mother?" she asked Kosake, and then continued: "Well, here is a letter to his mother; please mail it."

Percy Mackaye to Have Airship as Part of Big Civic Spectacle New York — Percy Mackaye, poet and playwright, has been in consultation here with aviation experts as to the selection of an airplane and pilot to take part in the great civic spectacle, part of which he is preparing for St. Louis in connection with the celebration this summer of the one hundred and fifteenth anniversary of the settlement of white men on the site of that city. Mr. Mackaye's part in the celebration is the staging of his work, "The Masque of St. Louis." The spirit of the mound builders, who is made happy by the appearance of a child of a new race restoring civilization; spirits representing the Mississippi river and the youthful Europeans, ploneers led by the youthful St. Louis and earth spirits led by Gold, who conquered by Love and Imagination, are characters to be seen in the spectacle. The aeroplane is to represent a giant eagle, the emblem of Union, which files across the scene at the close of the spectacle. It is likely that a biplane will be chosen for this purpose. FLIES CAUSED EPIDEMIC. London Government Board Objects to Offending Dust Heap. London.—An outbreak of enteritis occurred last summer among the children in the Southwark infirmary, and nine died. The epidemic was definitely traced to the presence near the infirmary of the Camberwell borough council for dust and rubbish, which is now situated to a railway sliding at East Dulwich railway station, close to the infirmary. The local government board has again called upon the Camberwell borough council to make other arrangements for the removal of its dust and rubbish. Dr. Drue, the medical superintendent, declared that the cause of the outbreak was to be found in the dust siding. During hot weather, he said, the children swarmed with flies, and the children wore unbeatable. Dr. Fletcher, a local government board inspector, supported Dr. Bruce, but the borough council for the second time declined to take action and merely acknowledged the board's letter. UNWORKED INDIAN MOUNDS ARE FOUND Six Groups With No Previous Record Located In Wisconsin. Six Groups With No Previous Record Located In Wisconsin. Madison, Wis.-Rich Indian finds have been made recently in three counties of northern Wisconsin. The Wisconsin Archaeological society is publishing an account of the explorations conducted by two of its members, P. Schumacher of Green Bay and W. A. Fowd of Boud du Lac, in Portage, Marathon and Lincoln counties recently. A study was made by these men, both of whom are experienced investigators, of the aboriginal remains still existing about Wausau, Merrill, Tomahawk, Hawthack and other places along the upper Wisconsin river. Near Bradley and Heathford surveys were made in the triplet groups of Indian earthworks of which there had been no previous state record. The largest of these consisted of thirty three conical and oval mounds. An enblematic mound in one of the groups is the only one of its class as yet located in northern Wisconsin. It is more than sixty miles north of the northernmost limit of the effigy mound territory. At this place there also exists a fine plot of old Indian garden beetle. In county work the investigators was chiefly confined to the regions about Lakes Emily and Onneland, near each of which important discoveries were made. GROUNDS FOR DIVORCE. Hueband Set Ablaze When Lamp, Hurled at Him Explodes. Atlantic City, N. J. — "This makes good evidence upon which I can get a divorce," was the reply of John Hamilton to the police, when they demanded that he sign a complaint against his wife and met with a flat refusal. The wife, it is alleged, in a rare hurled a lighted lamp at his head, which struck the wall, exploded, fired his clothing and set the furniture and carpets in his home afame. Firemen found him unconscious on the floor after they had used chemical fluid to conquer the blaze. He was sent to the hospital, where his burns were dressed. His injuries are not serious.

HOWARD A FRIEND OF GENERAL GRANT NOW IN MEXICAN WATERS. Comes from a Family of Fighters. His Father Killed in Civil War. Known in Navy as Excellent Discipiarian—is Put in Charge of Battleships Which Have " Gone Wrong." Washington—This story begins in Galena, Ill., in the days which immediately preceded the outbreak of the civil war. Every one knows that one of the unregarded citizens of Galena at that time was Ulysses S. Grant. He had been a captain in the United States army, but he had resigned, and he was "Bush." said Grant one day to his nearest friend, Bushrod Howard, "we'll have a war, sure. And I'm going." Bushrod Howard had commanded a company in the Mexican war. He came of a fighting family. "I agree with you," said he. "And I'm going too. We'll each raise a company." "Bush," said Grant, "you can't afford to go to war. If anything happened to you who would take care of your family?" "Ulysses," said Howard, "you can't afford to go to war either. But you're going, aren't you?" The two men made a friendly company and failed to return from the war the survivor pleaded himself to watch over those below his captain Howard raised his company and was killed with most of his men in a railroad accident on his way to the front. After the war Grant interested himself in Howard's two sons. One was sent to West Point. The other. Photo by American Press Association. REAR ADMIRAL HOWARD. Thomas Bushrod, received an appointment to Annapolis. When he graduated Grant sent him a sum of money. been a boy at graduation time—and I know how many things you'll need." Over the head of Howard's bed in any battleship on which his flag may fly the sword that he bought with Grant's money. It is more a part of him than the admiral's plumed hat he has to wear occasionally, for-Howard is a singularly unaffected and modest man. He is a good disciplinarian—even a stern disciplinarian—he wins the affection of his men. In the routine of service the higher officers are continually changing ships. Whenever Howard changes an avalanche of requests floods the department from the men who have come in to work with the admiral and wish to follow. "If I granted these requests," a secretary of the navy once said to him, "you'd man your ship with stewards and cooks." In the service they speak of Howards as a "reformer." That is because he is a sort of first aid whenever a ship or a station has "gone bad" from executive causes. Howard commanded the Tennessee when that brand new warship acted as the pathfinder for the trip around the toe of South America some years ago. When he reached San Francisco he was detached to assume command the Ohio. That was assumed by the crew of her class in the navy, Mutiny, a thing unheard of in the American navy, had been hinted at in some of the highly colored reports which had been printed. The men were certainly in a state verging upon revolt. They felt that some of their officers were treating them most unfairly. There is no need to revive at this time that old scandal of the service. But officers shook their heads when they discussed conditions on board the Ohio. In a very few months after he had assumed command Howard had brought the Ohio up to the very top of her class.

SATURDAY, MAY 16, 1914 COMPLIMENTS THE PRESS. At the splendid meeting which was held by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, at Baltimore, May 3, 4, 5, they paid the Afro-American Press the compliment of unanimously, a resolution presented by Mr. Charles T. Hallnain, chairman of the Press Committee viz: "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People recognizes the value of the work which the Negro Press has been doing for years, and that, against great odds for the upbuilding of colored people of this country and the development of race consciousness. In those parts of the country where the white press is in a conspiracy of silence regarding the wrongs suffered by the colored people, the Negro press has been the only agency to voice complaint and appeal for redress of grievances. The Association wishes for the Negro press an increase in prosperity and influence for the future and invites its co-operation in the war which is now on." THERE'LL BE SOMETHING DOING WE HOPE. The state of California seems bound to be of some assistance finally in settling the status of the railroad porter in-so-far as tipping has been made a part of his income. The Pullman Company pays the porter $27.50 per month for services and the State of California considers this altogether too small a wage upon which a man can live. Just how much the Pullman Company expects the public to pay per month to each porter to make up the balance of the wage of the porter and just what the company estimates that balance to be, and whether or not the Pullman Company cannot find enough money to pay the porter a living wage out of the enormous "dividends" and "melons," which are cut and distributed almost yearly to the stockholders, are some of the main matters which will be brought to light by the proposed investigation.

BEGGARS WHO HARM Just now the North is overrun by Afro-American beggars, who are collecting contributions for colleges and universities, which are alleged to have been organized for the "uplift" of the race. The Rev. H. O. T. Hamphat, A. M. D. D., Ph. D. of Mussel Creek, Okla homa; Ketchman Cheatem, A M. D. D. C. L, of Heavenly View, Mississippi; the Very Reverend A. S. S. Gobbleumup, P. D. Q., of Bear Wailow, Georgia, and a host of other worries with queer names, weighted down with a string of degrees, conferred by some 2x4 university, hailing from strange towns, are telling of the wonderful work they are doing for their people and incidentally asking for cash to continue their operations. THE APPEAL does not object to the collection of funds for proper educational purposes but is opposed to some of the methods of these unctuous collectors, who are evidently more interested in providing food and drink and raiment for their own fat and sleek bodies than in uplift work. In order to curry favor with the whites, they make false and disgusting statements in their speeches, praise their Southern oppressors, uphold segregation and laud their own degradation. If the South is so attractive as they picture it, they ought to stay there and not come North to injure their brethren by their jim-crow utterances. They have done iacalculable harm in the North and they teach the same stuff in their schools that they talk when on this side of Mason and Dixon's line. God help the students under their control. THE CLARK ANTI-MARRIAGE BILL The Clark Bill prohibiting inter-marriage of the races in the District of Columbia, recently reported favorably by the District Committee of the House, and making the marriage of Afro-Americans and Caucasians a "crime" is one of the most infamous measures ever offered in Congress. It strikes at the very foundation of Christianity for among Christians of every creed, marriage is regarded as a divine institution. There is no reason for such legislation. Caucasians usually marry Caucasians and Afro-Americans usually marry Afro-Americans. The number who marry interracially is wholly negligible. The real purpose of the Bill is to place a stigma upon the Afro-American people. The Clark Bill is really an open invitation to immorality and leaves the Afro-American woman without protection and an easy prey to vicious men of the white race. If there is to be any mixing of the races it ought to be done legitimately in Christian marriage and not in an immoral manner. It is not the proper function of the Government to draw lines of invidious distinction between its various classes of citizens and place on the statute books a law which in effect brands one group of citizens as unfit, classing it with imbeciles, idolts, defectives, degenerates and criminals. And then there is another point of view. The mixing which has already taken place has not resulted in degenerate specimens of manhood. The first blood spilled in the Revolutionary War was that of a mixed-blood—Crispus Attucks. Frederick Douglass, one of America's greatest orators, a patriot and a statesman was of mixed-blood. Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, the great literate and sociologist, is a mixed-blood. Dr. Booker T. Washington, the great industrial educator, is a mixed-blood. H. Y. Tanner, the great artist whose pictures have been purchased by the French Government and RACE PR I am convinced myself evil thing in this present judice; none at all.

RACE PREJUDICE I am convinced myself that there is no more evil thing in this present world than Race Prejudice; none at all. I write deliberately—it is the worst single thing in life now. It justifies and holds together more baseness, cruelty and abomination than any other sort of error in the world. Through its body runs the black blood of coarse lust, suspicion, jealouy and persecution and all the darkest poisons of the human soul. Ella Wheeler Wilcox. now hang in the Louvre, is a mixed-blood. Dr. Daniel H. Williams, one of the world's greatest surgeons and who was the first man surgeon in all the world to operate successfully on the human heart, is a mixed-blood. THE APEAL could name thousands of other mixed-bloods of whom America may well be proud. Every Afro-American in the United States ought to do every thing in his power to prevent the passage of the Clark Bill and all other jim-crow legislation. Write to your Congressman and ask him to vote against and work against every jim-crow Bill now in Congress. SPREAD OF MOHAMMED SPREAD OF MOHAMMEDANISM. Every true Christian should be glad to learn of the remarkable growth of Mohammedanism. Among the colored peoples of the world it is outstripping Christianity. This may seem a queer statement but it is true. Christianity is so decadent in America today that there are few real Christians except Afro-Americans. The souls of American Caucasians have been so warped by the infamous color prejudice rampant in this country that in the majority of cases they are not true followers of the Nazarez. Before the awful color line American Christianity stands paralyzed and dumb. There are today 5,000,000 more Moslems than Christians in the British empire. One-seventh of the whole human race is Mohammedan and the proportion is not at a standstill; it is increasing yearly. In Asia and Africa more natives are becoming Mohammedans every year that are turning to Christianity. Today nearly all of the sacred places named in the Bible are under Mohammedan rule. There is a reason why the colored races cling to the religion of Mohammed. It is a religion in which there is no color line. The brotherhood of man is not a mere figure of speech as it is in Christianity, but a living reality. The orientals are too shrewd to be caught in any large numbers by a jimcrow religion, for that is what it means when Caucasian Christianity gets them into its clutches. The conquest of Colored America for Mohammedanism has not yet begun, but it is coming soon day, THE AP-PEAL believes and predicts and the brotherhood religion will spread like wildfire. Congressman J. B. Aswell, of Louisiana, addressed the Hibernian Association of Savannah, Ga., recently on "The Freedom of Man." As Aswell is the author of the Bill to jimcrow Afro-Americans in the Civil Service we presume his idea of freedom is limited to certain varieties of men. Savannah, Georgia, where the speech was delivered, also claims the rather doubtful honor of being the home of Congressman Edwards, author of another jimcrow Bill. C. W. Post, the Battle Creek, Mich., health food manufacturer who made millions fixing up food that probably saved the lives of many whose stomachs he helped with his food, could do nothing for his own so he committed suicide by shooting himself last Saturday. We believe we have seen a legend something like this: "Physician heal thyself." Yes, Damphools. Over at Atlanta City the Negroes having secured a James Crow school, are raring and snorting because the Board of Education exhibits some disinclination to give them a James Crow principal. What fools we mortals be. -Charleston, (W. Va.) Advocate. Where Man Doesn't Reign. "This is a man's world," she complained. "Perhaps it is," he replied, "but one wouldn't suspect it while straying through a department store."-Chicago Record-Herald. Oswald Garrison Villard, Grandson of William Lloyd Garrison, Writes a Strong Article for the North American Review. On October 16, 1918, Woodrow Wilson, then the Democratic nominee for President, declare that: "Should I become President of the United States, they (the colored people) may count upon me for absolute fair dealing and for everything by which I am in advancing the interests of their country in the United States." This utterance complete satisfaction to those leaders the colored people and the friends of the race who were urging them to break away from their thraldom to the Republican party and to vote for the Governor of New Jersey on the basis that the country would profit most by the election of the Democratic ticket. I qualified observers believe that many more colored men voted the Democratic ticket in 1912 than ever before. It was with dismay, therefore, that early in the Administration of Mr. Wilson, whose Cabinet is equally divided between Southerners and Northerners, there became noticeable in the warmer a distinct hostility to the colorado, that a long time no appointments of officers were made by the President. Then he nominated Adam E. Patterson of Oklahoma for the position of Registrar of the Treasury, a place long held by colored men. Patterson's nomination was the signal for outbursts from the men of the colorado gophobes in the Senate; Senators like John Georgia, Vardaman of Mississippi, Tillman of South Carolina, and others declaring that Patterson should not be confirmed, or any other colored man, for an office which would put a burden on the women clerks. With object cowardice, he rushed to the White House and demanded his name be withdrawn. Unwilling at this time to meet the issue thus raised, Mr. Wilson consented to his request, unlike Presidents Cleveland and Roosevelt, who, under similar circumstances, put the responsibility on the colored men by continuing to nominate the colored men office and by giving them recess appointments when the Senate was not in session. Instead, Mr. Wilson appointed a Cherokee Indian as Register. * * * * * When a group of citizens holds so few Federal offices as do the colored people, each one takes on a significance far beyond any question of the salary or powers that may be attachable to this. It is particularly true of the posts of Master to Laiyi and San Domingo. Not so in Southern obligations to Negro appointments holds here; these ministers are accredited to colored people where the bogle of social equality cannot be raised. Under Mr. Wilson both of these posts have gone, temporarily, to the White House to doubtless for reasons satisfactory to the government men. The colored people at large accepted this as notice from the White House that the remaining offices herefore given to colored men were to be taken from them. Alarming as this was, on top of it came the startling news that for the first time in the Government race prejudice was having in some of the Departments at Washington. What had not been dreamed of under Mr. Cleveland, though begun in one office under Mr. Taft, was being attempted under Mr. Wilson—the negro clerks, both men of the Treasury and Secretary of the Treasury had placed to put Patterson at the head of an exclusively colored division upon the plea—to use Mr. McAdoo's own words —"that it would give the Negroes an opportunity of national dimensions, to prove their fitness to run, unaided by whites, an important bureau of the fact that it just why this benefit undertaking has not been apparent as it appeared that an Indian and a colored man was to head the division has not appeared; if it had all the merit claimed for it, the colored people should not have been deprived of opportunity of collectively demonstrated success, the individual, has long been known all familiar with the Government's operations. good enough to die alongside of white men in saving the day at San Juan Hill are now learning to know the gratitude of Republics. These colored people who are thus branded are not routestabouts, or corner leathers, or worthless laborers, educated men and women, college graduates and men, from all over the country who have their civil service examinations and entered the Government's employ with full faith in its justice, asking merely the right to serve on equal terms with their fellows. The readers of The North Star Review will understand the bitter humiliation the segregation orders if they can imagine themselves set apart as unworthy by brute authority, but they can hardly appreciate the added sense of injustice which comes from the fact that this group of the Federal Government. The colored people born as patiently as the children of Israel bore their burdens, the wrongs of disfranchisement, the lynchings and the burnings of innocent and guilty, the constant violence of the "Jim Crow" car, the constant violence of low whites; these were the acts of individuals or of States lately in rebellion. But that the Federal Government, under whose flag they have fought in every war, under whose guise they were working, which struck their fathers in blood, who should now take the side of the states in the year of the fifth anniversary of Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation. in this sense is ituration and rankles beyond in all else. Is it any wonder that beyond in all else, is it any wonder that a national renown writes that he never seen his people so discouraged and so embittered to as-day? They rightly declare—as must every fair-minded man free from prejudice—that this spells castle. They believe that it is intended to drive them out of the public service by reenacting aenable for Negroes with self-respect; that it is intended to the Assistant Secretaries of the Treasury has already held up the promotion of two colored clerks because of their color. Segregation is, beyond doubt, an entering wing, and here a precedent of significance of it all. Let a precedent of significance of it all shall say what the outcome will be to what lengths despicotic officials will take their way by means of discrimination, intimidation, by aboveboard or underhand methods? Who shall prophesy to what extent this castle may be developed in the decades to come? How can people can be set apart contrary to the constitution of the civil-service law and of the Constitution itself, why not others—Jews, for instance? * * * * * * * * * indeed, it may come to pass that Mr. Wilson will go down to history as the terrible forces for evil without adequate reception or provision of the dangers he was inviting. What he does not see is that if only one colored man or woman has been segregated it gives the deliberate lie to Mr. Wilson's promise to advance the interests of the race and violates his pledge of absolute respect to the man. The president is not the defenders of this Government's reputation or honor and of the rights or the colored people, but those subordinates who by their official actions have made ubious the President's word. Wittingly or unwittingly the Wilson Administration has allied it to the black community to put itself on the side of every torturer, of every oppressor, of every perpetrator of racial injustice in the South or the North. raising this race issue does not stop there. It differs but very little from the one that rent the Union. The great struggle which convulsed the nation in the 1960s, in terms, nothing else than an attempt of an aristocracy of cotton and land to create two classes of human beings in this country, the slaves and the free. They were willing to sacrifice the Union and everything else to this end. Those who in this day and generation are seeking to dismantle the distranchised and enfranchised, to say that there shall be two kinds of Government employees—as does Mr. McAdoo's Cabinet associate—the they are on the high road to convulsing anew this land of liberty, which will never be dismantled and quiet as long as they are dismantled and enfranchised its citizens. Upon their heads will be the responsibility of forcing the issue. To oppress any group of human beings, or to deny them full equality, is to court disaster. For each repression there is certain to come a terrible reckoning. Evidences of Christianity WANTED, A SAMARITAN. Prone in the road he lay.

From the New York Independent. Jewish Girl Outraged and Crucified By Ruggians. Berlin—One of the most revolting crimes in the dark history of Russia was reported here in a special dispatch from St. Petersburg, telling of three Russian youths having outraged and then crucified the daughter of a poor Jewish fisherman in Stavrapol, on the island. After outraging the young girl, the dispatch declares, the three youths dragged her to a cemetery, where they nailed her to a cross above one of the graves. Nails were driven through her hands and even through her feet. The three youths arrested, but their friends in the town released them and they escaped, it is asserted. WHEN IS MIXED BLOOD INDIAN? It is the contention of the government that the term mixed-blood can be applied only to those Indians who possess a quantity of white blood amounting to one-half or more. This question arises over the term "mixed-blood" Indians, as employed in the Clapp amendment to the Indian appropriation bill of 1906, removing restrictions as to sale, incumbrance and taxation of the allotments. The circuit court of appeals for the Eighth circuit held that every Indian who had an admixture of other than Indian blood, however small, is a mixed-blood. In the three cases decided it was stipulated that one of the Indians had one-eighth white blood, another one-sixteenth, and the other one-thirty-second, so the court dismissed the cases. The Department of Justice then appealed the case to the Supreme Court. By the way, the question: What is a Negro? has never been decided by the Supreme Court and it would probably be as interesting as the Indian case. THE APPEAL has always contended that Negro is not a proper racial designation for Americans of African descent. To hear men who are not more than one-thirty-second Negro yellings themselves hoarse about being "Negroes" presumably for the purpose of making themselves popular with black men has always seemed very ludicrous. Afro-American will cover all the various admixtures. THE REPUBLIC'S SHAME For the first time in the history of the United States, the machinery of the government of 90,000,000 people is being used to humilate and degrade 10,000,000 of its loyal and law-abiding citizens. In some of the departments of the Federal Government at Washington Afro-American employees have been segregated from their former associates and fellow workers and ordered to use separate retiring rooms. In some instances cages have been built to separate Afro-American and white government clerks. No other class is oblified to bear this badge of degradation. There is no warrant in law for these orders of subordinate officials. The facts have been brought to the attention of the Department, heads and thousands of petitions, memorials and letters have been sent to President Wilson, but up to this writing he has not seen fit to rescind this infamous un-American policy. The clerks who have been humiliated by the segregation orders are in no sense wards of the government. They have won their places by examination and women and the government which they have so faithfully and efficiently served has no right to place upon them this badge of dishonor. It is not a question of social equality that chimera which so many Caucasians claim to fear, but of civil equality which is the right of every citizen. Heretofore the attempts to degrade the citizenry have been the work of individual states in the Southern tier; the Federal Government must be held responsible for this new attempt to establish that impossible thing, caste in a Republic. dent and we believe that he will carefully consider the many protests which have been made and give the word which a Christian Statesman should give, that during his administration there shall be no segregation or discrimination on account of race, creed or color among the servants of the government. IN CHRISTIAN U. S. Afro-American Woman Lynched by Americans. Muskogee, Okla—Lemuel Peace, a Caucasian, went into the colored section of the city Sunday night and mistreated Marie Scott, an Afro-American woman. To defend herself, she killed him. She was arrested and put into the Wagner county jail for her keeping. Tuesday she was taken to the jail by a masked mob and hanged to a telephone pole. The mob got into the jail by strategy. The mob pulled the screaming woman from her cell, tied a rope about her neck and dragged her some distance through the streets before reaching the telephone pole. Honest fair minded Americans feel that the fair fame of our country is being trailed in the dust; they hang their heads in shame. It is the Nation's shame. We hold President Wilson responsible because in the final analysis the acts of his subordinate officials are his and he has the power to end this injustice by a word. ALWAYS RIGHT TO PROTEST. A number of colored newspapermet recently in Nashville, Tenn., and among other things decided not toprotest against segregation "owing tothe changing attitude of the Southernwhites." The attitude is undoubtedly changingbut it is for the worse. Therewere more lynchings in 1913 thanin 1912; the unjust franchise laws arestill in force; segregation in thegovernment service is a matter of fact;ghettoes are being established in manySouthern cities; the jimcrow car isstill running; discriminating lawsare being enacted by "our good friends"in the Southern legislatures. Thousands of wrongs are being done everyday. THE APPEAL believes that the newspapermen have made a very serious mistake in this the greatest crisis since the civil war. We should always protest against wrong. It is not necessary to use violent or abusive language; a protest may be couched in courteous terms. The principal mission of the colored press is to aid in righting the wrongs of the race. If it fails to do this there is really no excuse for its existence. AFRO-AMERICAN RIGHT WORD. We congratulate our up-to-date contemporary the Chicago Defender on its new "make up." It is chock full of news and presents a fine appearance. We are especially pleased that the Defender has adopted the word Afro-American as a racial designation. It is a shame that it is necessary in this alleged land of the free to differentiate between Americans, but it is true. Who has not been disgusted by the use of the word Negro with a small "n" as is almost invariably the case in the daily newspapers. Although the words Jew, Mexican, Filipino, Chinaman, Japanese are also capiAfrican blood have been described as tallized, Americans of more or less "negroes" and "negresses," as if they were wild animals. In view of the fact that not more than one-third of the Americans of African descent are of pure Negro blood it follows that the word Negro is not correct, while Afro-American would include people of various percentages of admixture and if generally adopted the daily papers would be compelled to capitalize it. The word Afro-American has been used by THE PEALP for thirty years. UNJUST JUDGE DENOUNCED Judge Willis of the criminal department of the Superior Court of Los Angeles, California, sentenced a young colored man to thirty years in the penitentiary for highway, robbery, although his only loot was a white girl's kiss. When the fact became generally known that so unjust a sentence had been imposed white women sent in protests, threats of recall and denunciations. Deputations of white women had the judge to demand that an act be between Cellophane from such severe punishment. Telephone messages informed him that petitions were being prepared for his recall. Other women called in person to say that steps would be taken to accuse a pardon from the governor. The action of the women shows the severity of the South. If the "highway robbery" had occurred in Vardaman's state there would have been a lynching.

The rooms were handsomely decorated with flowers, gifts from friends, and upward of seventy-ladies of the Twin Cities were present during the day and evening. Refreshments were served. Mad. Frances De Leo, who was to have delivered a lecture, was unable to be present, but her place was very satisfactorily filled by Madame Marguerite Gibson Owens.

Dr. Valdo Turner presided. Inspiring addresses were made by Rabbi Isaac Isaac, Rev. A. H. Leatad, Mr. W. J. Dyer. Mrs. Hattie Loomis Oliver sang a solo to accompaniment by Mrs. B. C. Archer. Rev. Womer, pastor of the church, introduced Hon. J. A. A. Burnquist, Lieutenant Governor of Minnesota, who has been elected president of the Association for the splendid address. He was followed by B. Werner and Mr. J. H. Loomis. A number of new members were enrolled, making the total nearly 100. This Association is doing great good in a quiet way and it deserves the support in every way of all our people in whose interest it is working. Lawyers G. W. P. Brown and R. Emmett Stewart, comprising the law firm of Brown & Stewart, of Muskegon, Okl., were in the city this week in the U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals, upon the case of the United States vs. Mackey, et. al., arguments in which began Monday and were concluded Tuesday afternoon. The case involves the title to certain land allotted to Lucy Mackey, of the Creek tribe of Indians in the state of Oklahoma, which is very valuable in gas and oil deposits. The issues arising out of the controversy are numerous and of great importance. The parties represented in the action are the United States, the Standard Oil company, two independent oil companies, two heirs of Lucy Mackey, the latter being the clients of Messrs. Brown & Stewart. Seven lawyers, including Brown & Stewart, took part in the argument and each of them appeared to have mastered the law applicable to the interests of his clients. The case was taken under advisement. Messrs. Brown and Stewart made their headquarters at the office of Lawyer W. T. Francis while in the city.

Expert Pharmacists Corner State and Washington Sts. Temperance In pneumonia or in snake bite, when recovery takes place, an invasion of the parts affected by a large number of leucoocytes or white blood corpuscles is invariably observed. Delcarde insists that this invasion is essential to recovery. Massert and Bordel demonstrated that alcohol, even in very dilute solution, drives away the white corpuscles or leucoocytes, and if alcohol is circulated in the blood, even in very minute quantities, the leucoocytes cannot push their way into the blood at all readily, and therefore cannot be transported to the seat of the disease. Alcohol thus prevents the white cells or leucoocytes from coming up to attack and repel the invading organisms. . . . The leucoocytes act as a kind of sanitary police. They appear wherever dead matter is to be removed, they attempt to prevent the invasion of the body by disease producing organisms, and once they come to grips with their opponents they die rather than give way. . . . Disease producing organisms getting into the tissues during the time that alcohol is holding back the leucoocytes, and meeting with no resistance from them, entrench themselves strongly, so that the leucoocytes cannot drive them out, and a severe, often fatal, attack of disease is the result—Dr. Sims Woodhead, Cambridge University, England. WATER-WAGON VS. PATROL Decrease ..... 12 Total days jail sentences with saloons ..... 149 Total days jail sentences without saloons ..... 75 Decrease ..... 74 UNDER BAN OF STATE LAW. BY REV. JESSIE HILL, Portland, Me.) Every drop of liquor that is distilled or brewed is held by the great careful central government to be contraband and confiscated property, for a time. Not one barrel of it can be taken from its place of manufacture till the national stamp "U. S." (that always means us) is placed upon it. We may not be able to stop the complicity of the federal government with the traffic, but there is one thing we can do. We can answer the question for ourselves: Is the moral character of the state or city a thing worth contending for? Shall we treat it as a commodity which we can sell in our streets and alleys for three or five hundred dollars a year? If you hunt for it, you can sometimes find liquor in the prohibition territory, but that is quite a different proposition from giving the business an opportunity to hunt for you. Put the thing under the ban of the law and you have stigmatized it. Let the saloon wear its own badge of shame. License is a compromise. It is wrong in principle and wicked in practice. For the state to go into partnership with the manufacturers of criminals is for the state to commit suicide. PROBLEM NOW A COLLEGE STUDY. It is stated that less than two per cent. of the men of America go through college, yet from this two per cent. the nation draws 7,700 of its 10,000 leaders in all walks of life. "The destroyer," Captain Hobson points out, "has had a strong hold upon our colleges, particularly upon the large universities, and its grip must be broken at any cost." That this grip is being broken is evidenced by the fact that 2,500 students in 100 colleges and universities have already studied the liquor problem in classes during the first half of the present school year, and the total number of such students will probably reach 5,000 during the year. Of these colleges, between 30 and 40 have given the course curriculum standing, with credit toward a degree, and many of the others are considering the same step for next year. TEST QUESTIONS. W will wives testify that since saloons came to town and husbands began to patronize them that poor and miserable homes are now changed into places of light and happiness? Will the mother tell you that since there is a saloon in the neighborhood and her boy spends his evenings there, he has changed from an idle and disobedient son into a kind, noble and Christian man? Will the saloon stand this test?—Nebraska issue. MRS. MILLIE ALEXANDER. The Hair Manufacturer and Hair Dresser in St. Paul.
