MILLS IN CHARGE OF U. S. MILITIA Will Direct States' Soldiers if They Go to Mexico. HE REFORMED WEST POINT Bravery Exhibited In Spanish-American War Rewarded by President McKinley—On Arrival at Army Training School He Made Changes Which Greatly Pleased the Cadets. Washington.—"The national guard," said General Alfred Lloyd Mills, "has never been better equipped or better trained or better offered for service than it is today." Which may be an important factor in the present situation if the states' militia should be called on for action. General Mills' statement may be taken as fairly representing the situation. In the first place, General Mills knows. He is the head of the division of militia affairs at the war department and as such would have charge of the transfer of the militia to the service of the national government. In the second place, Mills wouldn't say it if it were not true. "General Mills," said one of his near memoirs, "is not one of the most brilliant men in the army. He is not remarkable for scholarly attributions, the most impressive brand of common sense combined with every soldierly quality." Mills is the man who reformed West Point. Before his day there as supern- Photo by American Press Association. GENERAL ALFEED L. MILLS. tendent the cadets were treated like prisoners, fed upon theory and clothed in uniforms that fitted like the skin of a mushroom. If a regiment of West Point cadets had ever charged an enemy the sound of popping seams would have been heard above the rattle of musketry. Mills came to the academy as superintendent while he was a first lieutenant and therefore still young. That fact did not please any one at all. The elder officers thought it absurd that a "young whifter" these cruel words are quoted with exactness—should be given a place that had always been likened in honor to the command of a division. The younger officers were jealous and said that his appointment was due to favoritism. As a matter of fact it was due mostly to A. L. Mills, somewhat to Theodore Roosevelt, and partially to President McKinley. Mills was at the battle of San Juan Hill in command of a company of regulars. Roosevelt's rough riders were being maltreated on the slope. "He took command of my three rearmost companies," said Roosevelt afterward, "moved them over to the right of the line, gathered up some troops of the Ninth cavalry and headed his detachment in the rush up the hill." In that rush Mills was struck by a Mauser bullet which destroyed his left eye and passed completely through the head, but it did not interfere with that up the hill. It wasn't until San Juan Hill he been captured that he gave his wound thought. All the surgeons said that he would die once—he was the first wounded officer to be returned to the United States merely in compliment to his bravery. Privately the surgeons thought it would be more economical to let him die in Cuba. But he completely regained his health. President McKinley met him, determined that the youngster had the punch and pep the president thought was needed in the reconstruction of West Point and made him superintendent.ills found the academy being operated somewhat as a reform school and somewhat along the educational lines that prevailed prior to the first war, with Mexico. Cadets were forbidden to smoke; therefore they smoked by stealth. He let them smoke pipes on the campus. He found having flourishing at West Point, successive generations of repressive measures having failed to stamp it out. He aroused a sentiment at the time, at least, it died out. He did a wry thing that savored of the automatic in the system of education and taught his men to think. New Discovery May Curie Hog Cholera and Save $100,000,000. Washington.-The high cost of meats has received a body blow in a report received from Minnesota by the United States agricultural department here. One of the greatest contributing causes to the high cost of all meats is admitted to be the great ravages of hog cholera, which has swept the country during the past few years until last season over $100,000,000 in pork was lost, of which $33,000,000 was in Iowa alone. With such a great scarcity of pork there was no balance wheel to depress values of beef, and hence the mounting prices of steaks. Hog cholera has come to be so dreaded that farmers are beginning to refuse to raise any hogs, and even those who stick to the game raise only a few, not caring to take the long chances. It is admitted that with hog cholera eliminated from the farmers' calculation millions more would be raised, as they are easy to handle and the returns are quick. But, strange to say, science has never found a cure for this dreaded disease. The report just received by the department of agriculture contains a chart showing the treatment of upward of a thousand hogs sick with chronic cholera with a special veterinary treatment. Cures were effected in half per cent, of the cases. The tests have per cent, on in the field in various parts of Minnesota, since last September. State veterinarians sent by the Minnesota live stock and sanitary board to administer serum treatment were instructed to have the new medicine administered. EDISON IS CHALLENGED Head of Tobacco Firm Asserts That Cigarettes Are Pure. New York—Thomas A. Edison has been challenged to prove his contention that the cigarette is harmful and that its users are feeble minded. Furthermore, Percival S. Hill, president of a big tobacco company, in an open letter to the inventor, expresses the belief that investigation and reconsideration would cause him to admit his error. Mr. Hill recalls the time when it was quite the fashion for cigarettes to be attacked by "well intentioned ignorant people, by notoriously seekers and by thrifty legislators." The result was that medical men and other scientists undertook thorough examinations of the cigarette. "Every one of these investigations," writes Mr. Hill. "resulted in exactly the same set of findings—wiz, that the cigarette is not sure that it contains less nicotine than any form of tobacco products; that the combustion of the paper is harmless in its effect on the human physiology; that its temperate use is in no way injurious to normal users." Tacoma, Wash.—There is one railroad in the United States that has paid from the day it began to turn wheels. Not a single bond in bonds was issued to start it. All the stock was paid for and every cent expended on honor. There is not and never has been one dollar of indebtedness against the property. Every bill is paid on presentation, and all current accounts and wages are met at the first of each month. In almost four years of operation the books show annual dividends of 4 per cent and a comfortable reserve fund. In that time the road has nothing in the accident classification on its records, not a broken car, a mangled pig nor injured passenger. Not a single lawsuit has ever been filed against the road; it has never had to answer a legal complaint. And this paragon of transportation systems is purely an inland empire development. It is the Waterville railway, running from Watterson Douglas Junction. The distance traversed, and the mileage carried demand five and one-tenth miles of main line and two miles of siderek. For the three years ended Dec. 31, 1913, passenger earnings of the Waterville road were $14.465; freight received. $14.279.79; freight forwarded. $12.147.92; miscellaneous, mail, etc. $11.029.50; total $11.913.21. The highest priced ticket on the system is 36 cents, and this covers the whole line, and more than 50,000 passengers had to be carried with a single engine and one coach to make the earnings shown. Ten cents is the first class freight rate of the line, and much freight is hauled at as low as 1½ cents per 100 pounds. More than 45,000,000 pounds had to be brought into Waterville to earn $14,279.79. The road was built and is operated by the people it serves. Had "Wad;" Slept In Furnace. St. Louis.-Because his clothes were mussed and his face dirty Edward Pelzer was arrested here as a "suspicious character." At the station the police were amazed to find all his pockets stuffed with greenbacks and goldbacks, totaling $2,940. THE APPEAL MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS. MINN.. SATURDAY; MAY 30, 1914. Women and Children Enjoy it as Speccators Stand Aghast. Spokane, Wash. - Fifteen miles across country in a hearse was the unique trip taken by a party of Spokane women and children after their automobile had broken down near Cheney, Wash. While the stranded wayfarers looked at their balky machine, S. M. Smith, a Spokane, a carriage came along with his automobile hearse. Mrs. William Pitman and daughter and Mrs. Frank Chapman and daughter gaily climbed into the hearse, leaving Mr. Pitman and Mr. Chapman to tinker with the machine. Raising the curtains within the hearse, the wayfarers enjoyed the trip to Spokane. The big black vehicle rolled through country and villages while spectators looked aghast at the smiling faces of women and children that peeled out at them. The hearse reached the snubs of Spokane, a horror stricken to see a party of four live persons emerge and get aboard a street car. SAW GARRISON, ALL OF HIM Man Looking For War Secretary Found Him. Just Out of Both Him Just Out of Bath. Washington.-Secretary of War Garrison tells the following story on him self apropos of the approaching heated teetoe. "Last summer I went on a tour of inspection of the western forts. On one of the hottest days of the year I finished looking 'over Fort Leavenworth, Kan., and then motored to Kansas City. I went straight to my hotel, filled the bathfub with water and luxurious. After the bath and before drying I started a parade up and down the room, enjoying the river breezes that strained through the windows. All at once the door was burst open and a wild eyed young man said in imprecating tongues. "I want to see the war of war." "Well, take a good look,' I said. 'You'll never see any more of him than you do right now.'" LOWER CALIFORNIA A RICH PENINSULA Facts About Territory Where Valuable Resources Abound. Washington.—Lower California, Mexico's isolated peninsula, the coast of which the Pacific fleet of the United States is now patrolling, is one of the least known territories in North America. The following facts concerning this arm of land, which projects about 800 miles souththerly from the southern border of California, were given out by the National Geographic society at Washington: The width of the peninsula varies from about thirty to more than a hundred miles, and its irregular coast line, over 2,000 miles long, is bordered by mountains, leading mainly a mountainous, desert region, it is thinly peopled and presents many clearly contrasting 'conditions'. Low sun scorched plains, where death by thirst awaits the traveller, lie close to the bases of towering granite peaks, belted by forests and capped in winter by snow. Desolate plateaus of black lava look down on valleys seamed with green bordered streams. At the time of its discovery in 1833 by an expedition sent out by Cortes in search of a fabulously rich island, it is estimated to have been inhabited by 25,000 Indians, who vigorously resented the intrusion and prevented the newcomers from getting a foothold for more than a century. The Jesuits then came, and were wonderfully successful in exploring the peninsula and establishing missions. They established three main trails, one along coast and the third down the middle, which serve as the regular routes of travel today. The Indians have vanished from all parts of their former territory, except a few in the extreme northern end. During the last half century all parts of the territory have been visited, mainly by Americans, in search of mines and other natural resources, but little of the knowledge gained has become available to the public. Gold, silver, copper, iron and other minerals and much fertile land have been found, but the scarcity of water, fuel and forage and the difficulties of transportation have united with other causes to about failure to develop the resources. The climate of Lower California in general is hot and arid. Northern conditions are closely like those in adjoining parts of southern California; in the middle they are more arid, but the extreme southern end, though tropical, has more regular summer periods. The peninsula suffers long periods of drought, during which no rainfall sufficient to start vegetation occurs over large areas for periods of from three to five years. These dry periods may be succeeded by torrential rains, which sweep the country and roll great floods down to the sea. The peninsula is thinly peopled, and enormous areas remain uninhabited. The most populous section is the region south of La Paz, where rains are more small and widely scattered. A few small towns and widely scattered communities along the coast, with a limited number of villages, ranches and miners' camps in the interior, cover the population. BUTTERFLY FARM OWNED BY GIRL Catching the Butterflies and Mothers Only a Small Part of the Work, as Real Difficulty is Experienced In Raising Them—Interacting as Well as Profitable Duty. Truckee, Cal.-A California girl with the astonishing name of Ximena McGlashan has the distinction of being the first professional "butterfly farmer" in this country. She began the work by mere chance, but she has made a success of it by dink of hard work and attention to scientific detail. She soils very pretty to be called, as Miss McGlashan is confidently is, "the butterfly princess." But her circular princess is a mighty industrious in the Spring and summer she is often busy from 'daylight until after 10 o'clock at night. This little fact is worth mentioning, as Miss McGlashan has received hundreds of letters from women and girls who apparently want to found a whole dynasty of butterfly princesses. They have seen that their young girl, without capital in previous experience, making $50 a week out of butterflies and moths. That sounds pretty good to them. But their enthusiasm may suffer a relapse when they read the whole story. She started her "farm" near here a year and a half age. She was planning then to be a teacher, and when one day she saw her father showing his little book how to capture a butterfly it occurred that she knew the knowledge might come in handy in her own career as an instructor of school children. Her father readily consented to show how the trick was done and casually hinted that she could make more money out of butterflies than in pedagogy. He "sugared" some trees for her, fixed her up a lantern and some cyanide in jars, showed her how to tie a night by placing the mouth of the butterfly feeder on the sugar, and without mercy ado she was launched on her career. Inside of two weeks she shipped 1,500 moths and butterflies and received $75 in return. In ten weeks she sold over 10,000 specimens at a flat price of 5 cents apiece and had over $50 in return. In addition, she had on hand about 20,000 eggs, larvae and pupae, which would hatch out in due season. These really constituted her farm and are the important end of the business. Catching the butterflies and moths is only a small part of the work. The real job is raising them. Only perfect specimens are saleable, and it is a ticklish undertaking to capture these fragile creatures without injuring them. Many of them are already a trifle damaged. They may have lost an antenna or a piece of a wing. The first thing this young entomologist does with her captured specimens, therefore, is to sort them over carefully. She liberates the males that are not perfect so that they may go out and propagate more of their species. The imperfect female specimens she puts in paper bags, one to each bag, so that she will have their eggs to add to her stock. It is where the real work begins. In each case she puts food for the occupant. Butterflies will deposit their eggs unless confined in a jar, bag or its equivalent and supplied with their particular food. Every Day Miss McIlhannah feeds her butterflies with dried apples soaked in water containing a little honey or sugar. With this treatment she persuades them to lay their eggs on the inside of the bag. Some of them deposit as many as 20 or 300 eggs. When they have finished they die. The eggs hatch in varying periods, some in a few days, others only after the lapse of months. Miss McGlashan has them in test tubes where she can keep track of their worms. During the winter she puts the eggs in cold storage to prevent the eggs hatching after the proper food plants are ready. When the eggs come out she has another period of feeding before her. She catches to the tastes of these little worms as carefully as she were a high salaried chef supplying a cuisine for a lot of epicures. She experiments with all kinds of leaves till she finds what seems most tempting to the appetites of her charges. Some of these she keeps in candy jar. She has many hundred of one kind she places them in a tight bangle. In the bottom of each jar or worm盆 puts several inches of dirt or leaf mold, as the larvae like to hide in it in the daytime. Fresh leaves must be put in every day, the old food taken out and the receptacle kept clean. When the perfect moths and butterflies finally emerge from the paupe they are ready for shipment and prices are good. Sell Eggs by the Bushel. Columbus, Iod- Eggs are so plentiful in Jackson county that the bushel is sold there by the bushel. When a buckster called at the home of John Manson, a farmer in that county, the farmer sold him two bushel baskets full of eggs at $6 each. SPEAKING ABOUT HOGS. Ohio Editor Grows Earnest In His War on Cholera. Washington—Representative White of Ohio is showing his friends in the house just how the hog cholera lobby is working here. Mr. White has a constituent in Ohio, an editor, who stands close to him in many ways. To this editor came A. P. Sandles, most ardent expert of the projected law, with the plea that George burgu for the hog cholera bill. Here is a part of the letter which the congressman received from the editor: I had a sort of idea that the white plague was about the worst thing we had to contend with in this country, but no, a thousand times no. For frightful destruction and stipulation, he said less—loss of money—the hog cholera has the white plague backed up in the cornerilly for ice water. I firmly believe this for ice water. I am quite white to my urgent insist that you fly to the protection of the innocent hog instructor. If a few odd thousand children should die from the cholera, that is one of the exigencies that will be avoided, because there are plenty more where they came from. Not so with children who hang from 9% to 10% cents in-Pittsburgh today, and the supply is limited. THESE CHICKENS ARE VAMPS Survived a Fire and Wouldn't Leave Shells Till Bell Rang. Tarrytown, N. Y.-Fire destroyed the North Tarrytown fire house. Water played on the blaze floated the house of Charles Minnerly next door, and a box with a sitting hite and fifteen eggs floated around the cellar. The hen, however, stuck to the post while the fames crackled around her. When the eggs were due to hatch no chicks appeared. Minnerly spoke to some of his friends, and they told him they were fire chickens and if he wanted to hatch them he would have to sound an alarm of the bell. Minnerly went to the coop and rang the alarm fifteen minutes. To his surprise the eggs began to open, and in less than an hour one of them waked up. The chicks would not stay with the mother as long as Minnerly rang the bell. He solved the problem by trying a small bell around the mother's neck. HEAVY SNOWS TO BRING BIG CROPS Soil In Fine Shape as Result of White Blankets. Washington. -For a number of years the country at large has not enjoyed such general snows as whitened the countryside during February and March of the present year. Also it has been the occasional catastrophe that one great heavy snow has fallen late in the season to be followed by a quick thaw and consequent floods. Now the soil sharps, seeing that conditions are more nearly ideal this season than for a number of springs, are encouraged to believe that 1914 is destined to be a year of bumper crops. Dr. J. A. Bonezelet of the bureau of soils is quoted: "Since the snow blanket took its time in departing we will have a better crop start this year than for several years. To date conditions could already not ideal. We had snow after snow—not too heavy, but very persistent enough to keep the ground covered well and the tender shoots of the wheat in perfect condition. "This is particularly true of the eastern states generally, but at the same time conditions are far better in the middle west than is the general average. "In the corn belt, where there was a considerable depletion of the crop through too persistent drought last season, the snow will prove of incalculable benefit. The corn belt ought to have a splendid start. "Where snow remained a long time and there has been extensive opportunity for it to seep down into the soil, the moisture came from one to two feet, the soil is prepared to develop sturdy roots for the cereal crops. The plants therefore stand a better chance against possible deficiencies in the matter of rainfall during the period of their growth." WOMEN IN BUSINESS.

Sixteen Concerns In One County Netted $4,776,775 in the Account ted $7,765.75 in the Aggregate. Wallace, Idn - Net profits of reports of sixteen producing mines in Shoshoome county filed with the assessor for assessment purposes for the present year based on the operations of the year 1913 show a total net profit of mines of $4,776.775 as against net profits of $3,589.501 for the preceding year, or an increase of $1,817.274 in the face of an adverse lead market which, during the year, has gradually fallen approximately $1.40 per hundred pounds. The gross output of the sixteen big product for 1913 amounted to 2,039.030 tons, or 16,095.105 tons over the preceding year, while gross value amounted to $17,670.083, an increase of $2,931.020. The cost of extraction amounted to $6,586.784 as against $6,926.374 for the year 1912; transportation and smelter charges amounted to $7,567.412 as against $5,059.612 for the preceding year, and improvements and betterments decreased from $908.785 to $635.376. The most remarkable showing made by any single producer is that of a mine which this year jumps into first place, eclipsing the Bunker Hill by $144.514 in net profits. Still another remarkable showing is that of a mine which this year displaces the list with third place in the producing list with net profits of $838.140; the Stewart mine with $651.432 as against $935.444 with $651.432 in its net profits, while the Hecla drops from fourth last year to sixth this year. GOOD TO JACK'S GIRL Daniels Allows Sailors on Shore Leave to Stay Away Later. Washington.—Secretary Daniels demonstrated again his friendship for Cupid by letting it be known that he purposes to extend the shore leave of sailors when their ships are in port. Incidentally Secretary Daniels expects thereby to decrease the number of technical desertions. Under present regulations, when a sailor gets shore leave, he must return to his船 by 11 o'clock, when the last boat to the ship leaves shore. There have been many desertions because of failures to catch the last boat. and Secretary Daniels has issued an order providing that there shall be a 12 o'clock and a 1 o'clock boat between shore and ship. "His little fair!" said Secretary Daniels, "to expect that a sailor can take his girl to a theater, have a little supper afterward and get back in time for the last boat at 11 o'clock. I have ordered that the last boat between shore and ship leave at 1 o'clock. I understand that navy desertions have been due to sailors missing the 11 o'clock boat, because they have feared the results." Sitka, Alaska—Scarring a broad line across 600 miles of wilderness in the far north in order that the possessions of the United States and Canada may have a distinct separation at every point will be completed during the coming open season. The work has been in progress since 1907 under the direction of Thomas Riggs, Jr., civil engineer, representing the United States Alaskan boundary commission, and T. D. Craig, representing a similar commission of Canada. Although the United States and Canada have neighbors in the far north for almost half a century, the exact dividing line between their possessions, especially as to the northern portion, was, previous to this survey, indefinite and conflicting. Many disputes arising, the two governments decided finally, through their commissions, that an absolute survey, clearly established and marked for all time, should be carried out on hundred and forty-first meridian, from the Mount St. Elias Alas, on the Pacific, to the Arctic ocean, a distance of approximately 600 miles. The United States surveying party consisted of from sixty to eighty men each season since the work was undertaken. Chief Engineer Riggs, himself a young college man, selected his sons from the hardest classes—cowboys, forest rangers, prospectors, timber cruisers and frontiersmen, with a liberal sprinkling of engineers. New expeditions were each organized each spring, although many of the men who started at the beginning have remained in the service up to now. It was the custom, too. Leave a few men in the north each winter to care for equipment and supplies. The actual visible result of the six or seven years of efforts is a twenty foot vista, cut, like a gigantic avenue or lane, through all a timber and brush district, together with monuments set at intersible points from three to four miles apart.

CROZIER BOSS OF ARMY'S GUNS Characteristics of the Man on Whose Rests Rests the Responsibility of Having Ammunition Ready For Any Emergency—Proud of Soldiers and Their Appearance in Public. Washington—By and by some inspired war correspondent will sneak a letter through the censor's lines down in Mexico. He will tell of a uniformed aviator's performance on a hydroplane. "Laden with bombs," the correspondent will say. But there no need of going any further, because the hydroplane will not be laden with bombs—at least not with bombs that are spelled with two bins; because that sort of thing is against the conventions of The Hague—and because that particular prohibition was put in those conventions at the suggestion of General William Crozier, chief of the bureau of ordinance—and because General Crozier is best sort of soldier who would have an aviator civilized for disobeying an order of that kind. Aeroplanes may sail through the blue empire until the air man get dizzy, observing the movements of the enemy. That is all. Stories in which aviation and bombs get all tangled up are hereby officially discounted. Crozier isn't particularly well known to the country, but he is one of the [Name] strongest men in the United States army. As chief of the bureau of ordinance his duty will be to see to it that the army has all the guns it needs when it needs them, and all the ammunition, and that the ammunition fits the guns, a detail that has been overlooked in some previous affairs. And he likely will see to it. He has served well in the field—somewhat hampered because things had been forgotten—and after he got back home he has raked the coals to a nice, glowing center and placed a few superior officers on them and then watched their intellects during the process of reduction to bone ash. Crozier is frank- and fare-you-well. And fearless. He has said things that he positively knew were good enough of the very highest and most influential feelings we have. But he has never yet had to take anything back. He was a captain, for example, in that march to Peking during the Chinese trouble: He saw Japanese soldiers bayonet helpless Chinamen and Russian soldiers kick little Chinese children in the face and British soldiers loot cities with the advice, approval and assistance of their officers. Crozier told about it. Whereupon those told on start to say it wasn't true in clarion tones that gave every evidence of getting more clarion as the day brightened. But after thinking it and thinking Crozier over—all the clarion tones out of those indignant yelps. Their knowledge knew he had the goods. When just out of those happy, Crozier allowed that the American soldiers on that march were good soldiers—fine, honest, hard fighting men—but sloppy. "It was the fault of the American officers," said Crozier. "They permitted their men to go about slouche in dress and carriage. There was no excuse for it, for there are enough officers graduated from West Point every year to teach the service better manners." And you, he is enthusiastic about the quality of the American soldier—but he isn't enthusiastic about dirty collars and open blouses and greasy bridle bits. Our nurses were than those of any nation that Peking parade, he said, and our clothes were the equal of the best. In spite of the raptures that some critics went into every time they saw a Japanese cart, hauled by a pony and led by a coole, Crozier demonstrated that the good old four mule army wagon of our daddies is the best means of army transportation invented.

PLAYING WITH FIRE The Afro-Americans in Atlantic City who are bending every energy to get a jimcrow principal for their jimcrow school ought to be in better business. They are making a great mistake. Instead of extending jimcrowism they ought to fight it and have the jimcrow school abolished as it is contrary to the laws of the state of New Jersey. Segregation NEVER plays. Perhaps the children of the men who are agitating this matter will curse them in the days to come and they will be justified in doing so. Any man who at any time justifies and fights for the segregation of his people from other American citizens is not only an enemy of his race but he is also an enemy of the Republic. Caste begets caste. If the Afro-American people are segregated why not the Jews next? Then perhaps some numerically weak class of citizens of foreign birth. Then perhaps the rich and the poor will be separated in the schools. Who knows? The jimcrow agitators of Atlanta City are playing with fire.

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. To this might be added the query as to how much of the linen of the company is paid for out of the regular monthly deductions for "lost linen" from the porter's "princely" monthly wage? 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, Oklahoma; Ketchum Cheatman, A. M. D. D. C. L. of Heavenly View, Mississippi; the Very Reverend A. S. S. Gobbleumup, P. D. Q. of Bear Wallow, Georgia, and a host of other wonders 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 uncious 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 incalculable 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 RACE PREJUDICE I am convinced myself evil thing in this present justice; none at all.

Everything BEGGARS WHO HARM Ella Wheeler Wilcox. 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, idiots, 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 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. IS CASTE BREAKING UP? Sir George Macalpine says that caste in India is breaking up and that Christianity is doing the work. He gives caste ten years to die and says that when it is dead there will be a great infux from India into the Christian church. The Hindu who gives up his religion and even his caste to get into the Christian church is a fool—he's jumping out of the frying pan into the fire. The Christian church is really the greatest promoter of caste in the world and if great numbers of Hindus break into the Christian church they will promptly be organized into segregated churches in violation of the alleged basic principle of Christianity. Organized opposition to the American Telephone & Telegraph Co.

WOLNAN NOBLE AT GETTIBURG REUNION. with a mighty love and earnestness in their hearts, a love and pity, and ability to show them forth. Moved by an indomitable desire to serve in person the victims of wounds and sickness, a few hundred women, impelled by instincts which assured them of their ability to endure the hardships, overcome the obstacles and adjust themselves to the unusual and unfeminine circumstances in which they would be placed, made their way through all obstructions at home and at the seat of war or in the hospitals to the bedside of sick and wounded. They were really heroes. They conquered their feminine sensibility at the sight of blood and wounds; their native antipathy to disorder, confusion and violence subdued the rebellious delicacy of their more exquisite senses; lived coarsely and dressed and slept rudely; they studied the caprices of men to whom their ties were simply men often ignorant, feeble minded, of their senses, raving with pain and pain, They had a still harder service to be given the pride, the official arrogance, the hardness of the folly, perhaps the impertinence and presumption, of half trained medical men whom the urgencies of the case had fastened on the service."—"Woman's Work In the Civil War."

One of the Rhode Island boys in the civil war on picket duty near Yorktown, Va., declared a truce with a Confederate soldier. This frequently happened during the war. "What regiment do you belong to?" asked the Yankee. "The Seventeenth Georgian." The reply, "And what is yours?" "The one hundred and Fifth Rhode Island." The Confederate gave a long, low whistle and departed. General Smith's Threat "Extra Billy" Smith, the Confederate general, was as irasible as he was brave. One day he had his soldiers on an exceedingly difficult march. When they halted the general had a hard time getting them started again. Finally he exclaimed, "If you fellows don't get up pretty quick I'll march the regiment off without you and leave you all behind." Evidences of Christianity WANTED, A SAMARITAN.

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 murdered the daughter of a poor Jewish fisherman in Stavrapol, on the Volga. 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 her hands. Nails were driven through her hands, and even through her eyes. The three wounds were arrested, but their friends in the town released them and they escaped, it is asserted. WHEN IS MIXED BLOOD INDIAN? Many perplexing questions have propounded to government experts, but they are all more incidents to the puzzle now before the Supreme Court of the United States. It is: "When is a 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 admittance 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-eighteen 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 yelling 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 humiliate and degrade 0,000,000 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 oblived 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 mis- treated Marie Scott, an Afro-American woman. To defend herself, she killed him. She was arrested and put into the Wagner county jail for safe keep- ing. Tuesday she was taken out of 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 been trailing 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 than in1912; the unjust franchise laws arein still in force; segregation in the government service is a matter of fact;ghettoes are being established in manySouthern cities; the jimcrow car is still 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 always capiAfrican blood have been described as tall, 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 APPEAL for thirty years. UNJUST JUDGE DENOUNCED UNIQUE JUDGE DENUNCIED. 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 visited the judge to demand that be taken to save the young man from the punishment. Phone messages informed him that petitions were being prepared for his recall. Other women called in person to say that steps would be taken to pardon from the governor. The action led to the difference between California and the South. If the "highway robbery" had occurred in Vardaman's state there would have been a lynching.

Much interest was taken in a match game of 15-ball pool between Misses Ida Gardner and Beatrice Jackson and Misses Helen Washington and Rosa Toby. The game was hotly contested but Misses Gardner and Jackson proved to be the more lucky and they won. The game was refereed by Mr. Howard Taylor. Several games of whist were played. There was an abundance of refreshments and dancing was indulged in. Every Tuesday night is "Ladies' Night" and the ladies should take advantage of the opportunity to spend a pleasant evening.

Many of the committee reports created quite an interest in advanced thought on church progress. Bishop B. F.

Jackson, of Minneapolis, Ex-Presiding Elder was present during the sessions and assisted very much in the work. O. C.

On Monday of last week Mrs. Mattie Ross-Hall was taken to the hospital for the purpose of having a long delayed operation performed but she had waited too long, no operation was performed and she lingered until Saturday when she died.

MATTIE HOSS-HALL Mrs. Mattie Ross-Hall was born Jan. 22, 1876, at Tucumbia, Ala., and died May 23, 1914, aged 38 years, 4 months, 1 day. Her parents were Henry and Wass Ross. She is survived by her husband, Orrington C. Hall; her mother, Mrs. Wass Ross; her sisters, Mrs. Carrie Allen, Mrs. Julia Midgett, Mrs. Etta Talbot. As the eldest of six unschooled girls when her father died, she finished the mool in her home town and without means. Mechanical College then at Huntsville now at Normal, Ala., where she worked her way through.* Upon leaving school she became private secretary of Bishop Henry M. Turner, senior bishop of the African M. E. Church, all of the time sacrificing and subsisting upon little more than necessities in order to assist a courageous mother in the support and remainer of the family, which was finally accomplished a few years since. August 31st, 1901, she became the wife of Orrington C. Hall, to whom she remained the faithful helpmeet until death according to her vows. She lived closely to her ideals which were high, bright and well defined, with absolutely no compromise with any compromise she did not believe to be righteous. Her life was a consecrated dedication to uplift, which began at her own home, where she kept the best room for the free use if necessary of any unfortunate. The more needed the more welcome. While she worked in many uplift movements, it was her firm belief that the levation of the race would be in just proportion to the Christianity of the race, that the first year beginners of the Sunday School was the proper place to commence the work. She was a conscientious member of the African M. E. Church since early childhood, and died as one of the faith. Phone Dale 5029 Prompt Delivery The Imperial BIRDELLA DRIVER, PROP.

Mrs. Ragan was formerly a resident of Minneapolis, and her husband: a charter member of St. Peter Church. She died at Grand Forks, N. D., May 20th. She had been ailing since De- cember, and was engaged in evange- listic work before taking seriously ill, She leaves two sons, Frederic C. and Robert Nelson, a daughter-in-law, Mrs. Frederic C, Nelson, and a large’ num- ber of friends both here and every- where she has lived. She was a very earnest and active worker in all religious lines, anu nas been connected with the A. M. E.

Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep From which none ever wake to weep A calm and undisturbed repose Unbroken by the last of foes. Again we halt as the death angel sounds the curfew that calls our loved one to her everlasting home. : She endeared herself to all who knew her, she has left an aching void that never can be filled. Her présence was always charac terlzed by edifying sentiments, which was the natural outgrowth of her great heart. Our hearts were united with a chord that was divine, and, now it seems to be a dream to be hurled headiong into an unexplainable tragedy called death, She sleeps the sleep of Death, the whole community has felt keenly the knife in the hands of the universal surgeon whose operation is irresist able. Our prayer is that God may. direc our footsteps in the ways of rightous ness. ‘Where the Saints of all ages ir Harmony meet. ‘ Their Saviour and Brethren trans ‘ported to greet ‘While the Anthems of rapture un ceasingly roll. ‘And the smile of the Lord is the feas of the Soul.
