Great Britain Prime Minister's Wife of Material Assistance to Him, and She is Probably Most Influential Woman in English Politics—Lady Hail Also Powerful. London.—Two women, Mrs. Asquith and Lady Hail, are playing an active part in Great Britain's politics. To their work is accredited the position of their husbands to high positions. The action brought by Mrs. Asquith, the wife of the prime minister, against the London Globe to restrain its editor from publishing any more letters from its readers indirectly referring to her as a friend of German prisoners of war interred in Donnington Hall had much more behind it than the extremely courageous action of an independent and fearless woman. The prime minister's wife is probably the most famous woman in English politics in modern days. late Duchess of Devonshire, the "Double Duchess," as she was called because she captured two ducal titles in succession, that of the seventh holder of the Manchester title and the eightth of Devonshire, could perhaps have had greater political power if she could have persuaded the indolent Duke of Devonshire to accept the office of prime minister. Mrs. Asquith, on the other hand, is commonly believed to have materially assisted her husband to this end. His enemies have always been legion in his friends not numerous, his character being that of the serious Scottsman who forms emotional ties with difficulty. Mrs. Asquith, brilliant, witty, temperamental and intellectual and invariably entertaining, has supplied this deficiency and by her fact and charm she has kept unimpaired many political friendships useful to her husband. The withdrawal of the British forces from the Gallipoli peninsula is credited to Mrs. Asquith's advice, coupled with the recommendation of Major General Cripps, who succeeded General Sir Ian Hamilton, the commander at the Dardanelles, which were public in the house of lords by Lord Ribbaldesale. Mrs. Asquith's brother-in-law Lady Haig, the wife of General Sir Douglas Haig, who has taken over the command of the British troops in France as the successor of Field Marshal Viscount French, is credited with having exerted great influence toward her husband's advancement in the army. She was the Hon. Maud Viviana, who was "Vivian twins," who were famous as the "Vivian honor" to Queen Victoria and Queen Alexandra. Before his marriage to Miss Viviana ten years ago Haig was a favorite with General French, having served under French at Aldershot and then accompanying him to South Africa during the Boer war. Whatever French has been able to do for Haig has been done, but his present high command is the result more of the influence at court of Lady Haig, and Lord Kitchener has been persuaded by royalty's desires to advance the man most favored by his General French. Sir Douglas Haig and General French. Sir Douglas Haig was a full-general only a year ago, although he had held the post as chief of staff in India for some years, having won it through the influence of King Edward and Queen Alexandra. Sir Douglas and Lady Haig have not taken any particular pains to assume any leadership in London society since their marriage and have not kept up a London residence during visits home from India, spending their time at Aldershot, where Haig earned the nickname of "Von Haig" on account of his Prussian thoroughness in military matters and his stern way of handling subordinates. He and Lady Haig have two children, daughters, named after the two queens whom Lady Haig served—Alexandra Henrietta Louse, born in 1907, and Victoria Doris Rachel, born in 1908. CURES BICHLORIDE POISONING Cincinnati Doctor Discovera Antidote For Deadly Drug. Cincinnati—Physicians at the Cincinnati General hospital have discovered an antidote for bichloride of mercury, one of the most corrosive poison known. Recently Miss Birdie Talbott took four of the deadly tablets. She was taken to the City hospital writhing in agony. The physicians gave her copious doses of a combination of drugs discovered by Professor Martin Fisher of the medical department of the Cincinnati university. The woman has left the hospital entirely cured. OLD LADY DRIVES CAR. Etherville (la.) County Claims to Have Oldest Woman Auto Enthusiast.

BOTTLE FLOATED 16 YEARS. It Waa Thrown, With a Note, into the Pacific Ocean in 1899. Hoquiam, Wash. - After floating about in the Pacific ocean for years a bottle containing a note, probably written and thrown overboard by one of the officers of the schoner Transit, has been found on the beach by an Indian, Bob Wayne, near Moclips. The note was dated Aug. 10, 1890, and was perfectly legible, though the water in the paper were considerably faded. The message with the note reads as follows: Schoner Transit, Aug. 10, 1890. - Ten days out from Honolulu, H. I., bound to San Francisco, Weather and baffling the weather, Latitude 26 minutes north, longitude 156 degrees 7 minutes west. J. PETERSON. - The barge on the beach after the record high of the winter, which followed several days of a heavy offshore blow, which brought in a heavy surf. LEG BONE PATCHES SPINE: Altoona Boy Is Now Jubilant After Unusual Operation. Altoona, Pa.-Kenneth Gelst, aged four, is perhaps the happiest child in the United States, for recently he received his discharge from the hospital here. He was admitted to the hospital on Christmas, 1913, suffering from tuberculosis of the spine. He could neither talk nor walk, and the case was thought hopeless. The surgeons took a piece of bone from his right leg and inserted it in the place where they removed the disused vertebra. The operation was successful, and Kenneth can run, talk and play like other boys. LEPROSY CHECKED BY OLD INDIAN REMEDY Ann Arbor, Mich.—Ignorant that he was suffering from leprosy in an advanced stage—the physician who had sent him had not diagnosed the disease—a man came to Dr. Udo Wile of the medical faculty of the University of Michigan last July. He was a pittable object. His body was covered with lepros lesions. Dr. Wile took the sufferer into the university general hospital and has treated him with chalu-moogra oil, a remedy for leprosy that has been used for generations in India, unsuccessfully in the great majority of cases. Now his disease, which often contends with infection, confinement in a colony of his fellow patients, is arrested. The patient is making a splendid recovery. Dr. Wile says. He is strong and walks two miles each day. No more men shame him by calling him "unclean." He is no more dangerous to any community now than a tuberculosis patient. Dr. Wile insists. The doctor adds: "Work is given to a tuberculosis patient who is able to work. No one questions his duty and right to support himself and his family. Work should be given to this man, once the most depressed and feared of humans—a leper." The man's name is withheld that, unknown, he may begin life anew and earn bread for his wife and their baby. His entry into the hospital was affecting, dramatic. It so happened that a medical convention was being held here, and the different clinics were open to the visiting physicians. Dr. Wile had not seen the patient until he was wheeled into the clinic. The doctor's face went white. Visitors leaned forward and peered upon the man's nude body. Their faces were tense, for they knew—they thought he doomed. The patient was wheeled out, and Dr. Wile said, with emotion: "That man has a well advanced case of leprosy, I must tell him, and it will seem to him like reading his death warrant. When his disease becomes known it is doubtful if we can keep him here. Even if the leprosy cannot be arrested the man has ten years yet before him in which he might earn a living we it not that he will be hounded from place to place; every man's hand will be against him." "Is he cured—will he ever be absolutely cured?" Dr. Wile was asked. "A cure is always relative," answered the doctor. "At present all the symptoms that characterize leprosy are this case. He is strong, confident, hopeful. If we me whether the lepros symptoms will reappear I can no more tell you than I can assure a man healthy today that he will be in health as good ten or fifteen years hence." Left All to Employee Sioux City, Ia.—The good and faithful servant of ancient days found a modern example here when Charles Grubel, twenty-five years old, a clerk, received nearly all of the $50,000 estate left by Otto Mowitz, a grocer for whom Grubel had worked six years. It's a Hummer. Pine Grove, Ark.—Katherine Lucy boasts of being the possessor of the only brindle Bosco tomat in these parks. In few days ago tabby brought in a black snake thirty-nine inches long. THE APPEAL MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY NEVADA DIVORCE IGNORED. Bridgeport Suit May Bring Adjudication on Validity of Western Decree. Greenwich, Conn.—In the superior court at Bridgeport before Judge Case the many side issues in the divorce petition of Rudolph Ernest Tiedemann against Gertrude Eleanor Tiedemann of this place were disclosed on a motion to strike out an alleged amended reply. The real issue of the case will show the attitude of the Connecticut court on divorces issued in Nevada. Three years ago Mrs. Tiedemann obtained a divorce in Indiana and was allowed custody of the child. Last March the husband sued for divorce, alleging desertion, paying no attention to the Nevada decree. He never paid any of the almamy, it is alleged, and now seeks custody of the child. The amended reply is that the Nevada divorce is not good, because neither of the parties was a resident. Decision was reserved. SLIP BRINGS DREAM TRUE. Printer Laughed, but Loss Hand Exactly as Foretold. Kansas City—John W. Reed of the Read Printing company dreamed the other night of cutting of his hand in a paper cutter in his shop. He laughed when he told about the dream and said he was not superstitious and had no fear. Next day as he passed the cutter Leed slipped and struck the lever. His leed hove went under the blade and was covered as it slipped. The workman, remembering the dream, became confused and ten minutes passed before a physician was called. LOST GIRL CRAWLS MILES. Thrown by Runaway, She is Left Crippled in Desert. Needles, Cal. — Lost in the desert, forced to crawl for miles on her hands and knees during the night and finally rescued by a railroad engineer as she lay unconscious on the tracks, were the adventures that befall Miss Louise M. Pearson, twenty-two, of Oakland, in the Mohave desert. Miss Pearson left Ludlow on horseback, locate a mine in Old Dad mountain, then cut out her horse threw her. Her ankle was so severed sprained she could not walk, and the horse, carrying food supplies, raced away. Agricultural Department Presses Campaign of Protection. Washington.—The department of agriculture has inaugurated a vigorous campaign for the protection of game under the federal law and is aiding the various states in carrying out their statutes. More than 240 new game laws were enacted during 1915—a larger number than in any previous year except 1911. Forty-three states held regular legislative sessions, and in all of these except Arizona, Georgia and Nebraska, among them, were made in the statutes protecting game law. The largest number of new game laws passed in any one state was skiety one, in North Carolina, but in California, Connecticut, Maine, New Jersey, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin the number reached ten or more. Several measures were vetoed, including a general game bill in Idaho, the first bill appropriating the hunting license fund in Pennsylvania, a bill protecting bears in California and three sections of the game bill in Washington state. A number of bills were introduced for the purpose of harmonizing the state laws on migratory birds with the federal regulations. In at least nine times changes were made which introduced seasons into substantial agreement—in California, Connecticut, Maine, Michigan, Hampshire, Tennessee and West Virginia. In Illinois the seasons for all migratory birds except coot and waterfowl and in Washington for the smaller shore birds were made to conform with the regulations under the federal law. Uniformity was also secured by provisions in the laws of Connecticut, Maine, New Mexico, North Dakota, Washington and Wisconsin, prohibiting hunting between sunset and sunrise. On the other hand, Delaware adopted a resolution opposing the misuse of the White and Rhode Island, which had banned their seasons in 1914, changed the seasons on waterfowl this year. As a result of the decision of the supreme court of the United States on Jan. 19, 1914, sustaining the alien hunting law of Pennsylvania, legislation prohibiting aliens from hunting or owning shotguns or rifles was enacted in at least four states—Massachusetts, New York, Virginia—but certain exceptions based on property qualifications were made in Massachusetts and New Jersey. Owl Causes Auto Smash Peru, Ind.-Marlon Dillman took a party of friends automobiling, and when near Chili an owl struck him in the face. Dillman let it on the steering wheel, and the car ran down an edge and against a fence. None of the occurrences had hurt the man's face was scratched by the owl's claws. TAKES SECRET TO GRAVE Before Dying Would Be Inventor of Minneapolis Destroyed All Charts or Mechanical Contravances He Had Made in Search For Perpetual Motion Machine. Minneapolis, Min—When John Lainy, ninety-three years old, was laid to rest in Crystal Lake cemetery a seventy year quest for the secret of "perpetual motion" came to a fruitless end. So close did he think himself to the secret at time that he trembled with expectancy. For twenty years, despite his disappointments, his mind afame with ambition, Laney worked, thinking, experimenting. Meanwhile this man, a Scotchman by birth and a stonemason by trade, whose only relaxation was reading the works of Bacon, Shakespeare, Coleridge and Wordsworth, smashed and destroyed contrivance after contrivance when it failed. Then with intensified energy he concentrated on a new idea. "It almost worked." These three words tell the life story of a man gifted in some ways beyond his name to go down the history, but always the edge of accomplishment. It was only to find the something missing in a contrivance that "almost worked." "When I was just a little girl father used to have the kitchen table cleared for him when supper was over," said Mrs. Lizzie Welton, at whose home the aged man spent his last days. "He had a groove in the table and a round stone ball that he made himself. He would roll this round and round, the mother would have to get up late at night and beg him to stop and rest. "Father had a good education, mostly self acquired. He loved the诗s, and he wrote several songs, one for the St. George guards of St. George, New Brunswick, where we once lived. He was a sculptor also." Outside the steps of the cozy cottage where Mrs. Welton lives are two pieces of granite. One has on it figures of Hiwatha and Minnehaha; other has on it a bear and two cubs. The bear is highly treasured, is a chain five feet long, and a man and an anchor at the end, that was out with a jackknife from a solid piece of wood. Many small mementos remain. But before he died John Laney destroyed all charts or mechanical contrivances he had made in his search for perpetual motion. One day he said to his daughter: "Perpetual motion will yet be found. There is no doubt of it. When it is found the world will be astonished not alone by the stupendous changes that happen in the material life, but by the simplicity of it. Millions will wonder why no one ever thought of it before." "I am an old man," he would often say. "I saw the coming of the railroads, the telegraph, the automobile and the more wonderful things of later years. I predicted back in 1850 that the world would one day see the railroad, and it is here. Ah. If I could only just get the one little missing link." MAD DOG CALLS POLICE. Upsets Telephone In Rampage and Central Does the Rest. Danville. Ill. - A dog afflicted with rabies indirectly called the police department and thus brought about its own destruction. Before it was killed it overturned much of the furniture at the home of Louis Smith, its owner, and badly scared the servant. In its rampage it upset a desk on which the telephone fell and as the receiver fell from the hook central asked for the number. The operator heard the howling of the dog and, believing that something was wrong, called the police department. BABE TRAVELS IN BASKET. Young Father Makes Long Journey With Motherless Child. Eagle, Ariz.—With a clothes basket as a cradle for his month-old motherless babe R. E. Hiatt made the journey from Eagle to Sidney, In., to place the infant in the care of its grandmother. Mrs. Hiatt died just a month ago following the birth of twins, one of which died at birth. A woman on the train volunteered to assist the young father, and the infant reached its destination safely. Owns Wrong Land Twelve Years. McMinnville, Ore.—Twelve years ago Josef Henrich bought eight acres of school land from the state, located, paid taxes and improved the place. W. N. Smith, who recently purchased three acres from the state, discovered that Henrich had been living on his land and had paid taxes on another tract one mile south similar in description. In the twelve years Henrich had built a home on the Smith place, cleared some of the timber and cultivated the land. The Henrich tract in the meantime has not been touched. Defective Page DIVORCES WITHOUT JUDGE? Lawyers, Apparently, May Grant One in California. Los Angeles.-Judges and lawyers learned with surprise that through an amended provision of the state constitution apparently any qualified attorney may grant a decree of divorce. This became known by the recent granting of three decrees in Santa Rosa by attorneys sitting as judges pro tempore after having been selected to try the actions of the litigants themselves without the sanction of the court. The modified amendment reads: "A case in the superior court may be tried by a judge pro tempore, who must be a judge of the bar, agreed upon in writing by the parted litigant or their attorneys of record and even to try the cause, and the person so selected shall be empowered to act in such capacity in all further proceedings in any suit or proceedings tried before him until the final determination thereof." The clause "approved by the court" has been omitted from the act. TALK OF BABIES JARS THEM Spinster Form Club to Avoid Chatter About Husbands. Sabeth, Kann.-An organization of spinsters has been formed in this town to save them from hearing talk about babies. "At the women's clubs," says Miss Georgia Hook, head of the spinsters, "all we hear is talk of babies and husbands of various kinds. Oh, you cannot realize the unintentional cruelty of the measure can we have in hearing talk of babies, babies all the time? The small town never gives the proper chance for all girls to marry happily. Too many of our best young men go to the cities. As a result there are more marriageable young women than young men." EATS PORK AT EVERY MEAL Hoosier Farmer Says It Is Sweet Diet and Good For Longevity. Columbus, Ind.-Do you wish to live long and be strong? Then eat pork three times a day, say Samuel Reynolds, a farmer here, who is seventy-five and can carry a sack of grain with the best. Reynolds eats pork three times every day, and if he wishes a little snack of something between meals he eats a piece of pork. If he happens to need a bite of something before going to bed he eats a piece of pork. He never ate an apple in his life, and he never tasted any sort of fruit, butter or jelly. TABLET FOR INDIAN FRIEND OF WHITES Seattle Professor Seeks to Honor Chief Pat Kanim. Seattle, Wash.—Professor Edward S. Meany of the University of Washington is arousing public interest in the memory of old Chief Pat Kanim of the Snouqualmile and Snobhamille Indians. Chief Pat, a stanch friend of the early whites, is one of the forgotten heroes of pioneer days, and Professor Meany wants his grave marked with a suitable monument. When settlers had reason to fear the lurking red foes in the deep forests Chief Pat Kanim's people were powerful where Everett now stands. It is not known just when the chief died, but he was buried on a bank of the Snobhamilr river. When the grave was threatened by the overflowing river relatives moved the remains to the little cemetery on the Tulalap Indian reservation, where many of the tribes he ruled in power now live in humble homes. Bancroft's "History of Washington" to the chief's craftiness in driving Glacott and Rabbelson from the first settlement on Whidbill island in 1848. He made a great drive with dogs and secured sixty deer for a feast of assembled warriors. He counselled in favor of driving the white men out of the country. Glassgow and Rabbelson went back to Tumwater, and the next year Pat Kanim led an assault on Fort Nisqualy. While Pat Kanim was parrying inside the stockade his brother was killed leading an attack by the Indians. Pat Kanim was spared, and in 1850 he made a trip to San Francisco in a sailboat. While there he made him resolve to become friend of the white man. He faithfully lived up to that resolution for the rest of his life. MAKES MODEL OF HIS JAIL. Prisoner Works For Fun - Wouldn't Work For His Children. San Francisco. - Joseph Swanson, serving a term in the county jail for failure to provide for his children, has proved his ability to provide for them if he cared to try. During three weeks in jail he model- ed a wooden replica of the building in which he worked as a saw, jackknife and a pot of glue. The dows are made of celluloid panels. Swanson has presented his model to Sheriff Barnet, who has placed it in his collection of curiosities. She "Chawed." He Said. Huntington, W. Va—Francis M. Edgell got a divorce because his wife, according to his petition, persisted in his marriage. So the girl got the custody of the four children. --- In business, fortunes are not realized Unless your goods are amply advertised. BOY A FINANCIER. Lad Fourteen Years Old Makes Money Out of Sheep. Ipswich, S. D.-Gerald Pershin, fourteen years of age, gives promise of being one of the financiers of the country. On Sept. 5, 1914, the boy went to M. A. Slocum, a friend, and to.1 him that he had a chance to buy twenty-old ewes from Robert Jones at a bargain. Mr. Slocum went with the boy to the bank and signed a note with him, thereby enabling the boy to get the funds. The day the boy entered the bank, paid over $33.00 his note with interest, and remarked that he had cleaned up $110.80 clean profit on his sheep during the year. He had sold $28 worth of wool and had sold his original purchase and their increase, less five sheep the coyotes had killed, for $166.40. PUFFED UP LIKE A BALLOON Rock Island (Ill.) Doctors Puncture Beau's Skin and Save His Life SKIN AND SAVE HIS LIFE. Rock Island, Ill.—The body of Fred Lawson, eleven years old, swelled to twice its normal size as the result of an accident, and for a time his life was endangered. While coasting the boy was struck in the neck by a piece of wagon wheel rim protruding from the ground. The bronchial tube was punctured, and in exhaling his breath much of the air passed through this puncture and under the skin, causing the body to inflate. Young Lawson was at the point of suffocation when physicians arrived. Their first act was to puncture the skin of the neck and allow the air to escape. They say the boy will live. Oil Producer Using Wealth on Women and Children. Sand Springs Okla.-This town was built for widows. They compose more than a fourth of the 5,000 population. The town was founded by Charles Page, multimillionaire oil producer of Tulsa. His earliest recollections were of his mother's efforts to raise her large family unadied, and he resolved that when he grew up he would take care of all the widows. When he made his fortune Page founded Sand Springs. He built dozens of comfortable cottages in which gas, fuel and rent were free. Factories he bought so the widows might have employment. He built a car line to Tulsa upon which widows ride free. There are a day nursery, free medical attendance and a vocational school. If a widow wants to get married Page helps her do that, like grandmothers too. There are a score of them here, with nothing to do but knit and read and reminisce. Page probably has more "children" than any other man in the world. An orphan's home in a nearby town recently went bankrupt. To provide better for the little inmates Page legally adopted the whole institution and moved it to Sand Springs. WOMAN KILLS EAGLE Pulaski County Resident Wins Record by Not Using Gun. Rolla, Mo.-Mrs. J. H. Arthur, who lives near Laque, Pulaski county, probably enjoys the distinction of being the only woman in Missouri to kill an eagle without the aid of a gun. Recently she heard a noise in the chicken yard and saw a large eagle swoop down on the flock. A watchdog rushed upon the eagle and knocked it to the ground. Mrs. Arthur grabbed a long piece of wagon tire and struck it with all her might, breaking its neck and right wing. The eagle measured six feet four inches from tip to tip. TWO. DRINKS, TWO YEARS.

He sold two drinks to the same man. Pettigrew was indicted in January, and his first trial was on an indictment that carried only a misdemeanor penalty. He escaped on a technicality. The felony law also was held defective, but the third one was sustained. GEARY'S POPULAR SCHOOL. It Boasts 23 Sears of Twins, Claims Record For Oklahoma. Geary, Okla.-The Geary school lays claim to the unique distinction of having more pairs of twins attending the school than any other school of its size in the state. At the present time there are seven pairs of twins enrolled and another girl attending who has a twin brother, who will probably start after the new year. This will bring the total number of twin pairs enrolled up to eight. These twins are scattered all the way through the school from the primary to the senior class. $2.40 PER YEAR: KIN GIVE UP PROPERTY. Dyckman Farm House In Upper New York City Will Be Restored to Colonial Days' Condition—Only Dwelling in Manhattan Built In Accordance With Dutch Tradition. New York.—One hundred years ago great herds of cattle browsed daily on what has become the city's newest recreation spot—Dyckman House park. Owing to an arrangement made by Park Commissioner Ward the old Dyckman farmhouse, which stands on this property at Two Hundred and Fourth street and Broadway, will be restored to the same condition in which it was in colonial days. Mrs. Bashford Dean and Mrs. Alexander McMillan Welsh, who have presented this house to the city have not only given the surrounding park, but have agreed to improve it in accordance with the plans of the park department. ```markdown ``` Some incidents which figured have been furnished to Commissioner Ward by Professor Bashford Dean, whose wife, Mary Alice Dckymer, is one of the park donors. Professor Dean is curator of the collection of armor in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. He has been at pains to produce the picturesque and accurate account of the house and its inhabitants, which follow. The ancient Dckymer homestead, which stands on a knoll at the corner of Broadway and Two Hundred and Fourth street, is unquestionably the only remaining dwelling house on Manhattan Island built by a Dutch family in accordance with the past Dutch traditions. Times have gone by, and many changes have occurred. The last of the family bearing the name in the vicinity died recently in the person of Mrs. Fannie Blackwell Brown, widow of the late Isaac Michael Dckymer and her daughter, the Dckymer descent in several lines. The two daughters, Mrs. Bashford Dean, who was Mary Alice Dckymer, and Mrs. Alexander McMillan Welch, who was Fannie Fredericka Dckymer, have as the last of the Kingsbridge Dykmans decided to perpetuate the old Dckymer house in memory of their parents. The Dykmans house in question was built at the end of the war of independence, about 1785, as nearly as records go. It was then that the family returned to their lands after the perils of the nearer river and the present one, nearer the river and down by the British. So a new house was built on ground which was somewhat higher and nearer the post road. James Dyckman and Dr. Jacob Dyckman were early graduates of Columbia college (1899-1811). Both died young, one a lawyer and the other a distinguished physician—he was health commissioner of New York, author and scientist. It was he who is said to have obtained for Columbia college when he was secretary of the old Philosophical Society of this city the relics of Benjamin Prentice, and it now has. Jacob Dyckman, son of it, was the house, one of the best known in New York, long time alderman and a member of the constitutional convention in 1821. It was Jacob Dyckman who took an especial liking to his young grandson, Isaac Michael Dyckman, which led ultimately to his coming to stay in the Kingsbridge household. He was then a boy of seven, the second son of Jacob Dyckman's daughter Hannah, who had been a Squire Caleb Smith of Yonkers. So his life was nicely Dyckman. The Dyckman estate was so large it required care in its upkeep. So it came about that Mr. Isaac Dyckman, the surviving bachelor uncle, looked ultimately to his nephew for help. At that time, it appeared, Mr. Isaac Dyckman had probably more real property in his hands than any other single property owner of Manhattan has had before or since. At his death in 1883 it was found that his estate was divided among his various nephews and nephews, however, received the major part, with but the proviso that his name should be changed by the legislature from James Frederick Dyckman to Isaac Michael Dyckman. The latter did not retain the house as part of his heritage. It was no longer as he remembered it, and he had himself built a house in the northern part of the property not far from his uncle in fact, the old house had changed to black Hamah, who was living and lived to be a hundred years old, had gone away—to the old Indian cemetery formerly on the corner of Broadway and Dyckman street. Then, too, Mr. Dyckman found that the approach of a great city meant heavy assessments and taxes, when, in order to have parts of his tract developed, he should practically make people presents of his leaseholds. Indeed, it was this Jan Dyckman who devised for this region the farsighted plan of letting the garden have property for most nothing in order that the future returns might be assured. One of his famous leases gave a tenant a valuable farm for one hen a year for seven years! HAVE YOU READ THE APPEAL? THE APPEAL AN AMERICAN NEWSPAPER ISSUED WEEKLY J. Q.

No people on earth know better than the colored people of this country do, what prejudice is; but Nathan Straus in the New York Times has some idea of it. He says: "It is easy to create, it is hard to destroy. Sinister of wit, it is weak of wisdom. Its perceptions are false. It sees in darkness; it is blind in the light. It natures lies and rejects truth. Breeding hatred, it blasts sympathy. It rules those who give it life. It is a conjured Frankenstein, dominating millions of men. It sits beside the gates of life and takes toll of all that pass." "It is the conservator of all that reason would destroy, the destroyer of the works of justice. It is the handmaiden of error, the nemesis of knowledge. It feeds fear and poisons hope. It lives by the law of the dead. It thrives upon the meat of yesterday. It sickens on the sustenance of today." "It is the anarchist of the heart. It smothers faith. It gives love to the torch. It bemeans benevolence and shuns communion.

It is a thing of charms and amulets. A REAL PHILANTHROPIST. One of the most pleasing things we have heard of lately is contained in the will of the late Andrew Freedman of New York, the bachelor who left an estate valued at $7,000,000, the bulk of which is to be used eventually for the establishment of a home for the aged on original lines which the founder himself had formulated. It will be known as the Andrew Freedman Home. It will receive aged persons in indigent circumstances without regard to race, sex or creed, and especially will it care for old couples who, in the evening of life might otherwise be forced to live apart. Mr. Freedman selected twenty-four persons, who will be requested to act as trustees of the home. They represent various races and religions and their selection shows that the testator intended that the institution should have a representative board. Mr. Freedman, evidently, belongs in Ben Adhem's class. AN EAST INDIAN'S IDEA. Dr. Krishna of the dethroned dynasty of India, scholar, literate, and intimate friend of Pierre Loti, Anatole France and other European brilliants is in the United States, and his portrait of an American is nothing like the reflection the delighted gentleman draws from his own mirror. In a recent interview Dr. Krishna said: "The American lacks spirituality. He is material. He gives his wife of 40 $10,000. 'Now, you take a go to hell for what I care,' he tells her. I must have a little bird around that I can flatter and be flattered by.' And he gets his divorce." To this cavalier treatment of the lady of 40, the American adds a fawning for anything British, and an amusing ingenuity in twisting scriptures to condone whatever he wants to do, said the distinguished East Indian. Dr. Krishna, dark, polished, and of excellent diction, spoke with contempt of America's degeneration to a mere colony of England, gladly restoring the yoke that Washington and other heroes had cast off at great cost of blood. "England says, 'I must control the seas,' and America says, 'yes, it is right that you should,' and America supports her. And yet, in 1812, your country fought England for just the reverse principle. There was a man, by name George Washington, and you call him the father of this country because he demanded and, somehow, won a free home for his people. "Send us no more missionaries of Christ. I find that not a nation that proclaims Christ has not robbed another nation of its home. And you thank God and Christ for each conquest that brings the light to heathen peoples. "Who has made this war? It is the Christian nations. Is that the light that you would have us brought by Christianity? "In India the English have brought a heel of iron. There are thousands of our people starving, and yet we must support English bishops with handsome rings, carriages, automobiles, and heavy crosses of gold.

Dr. Krishna is a graduate of the Uni- versity of Bombay, the University of Japan, and of Oxford. He is presi- dent of the Franco-Indian society of Paris and Bombay, is literary critic and philosopher. President Wilson has the opportunity to do a very graceful act by appointing ex-President Taft to the vacancy in the U. S. Supreme Court made by the recent death of Justice Lamar, who was appointed by President Taft, some years ago. A number of both Democrats and Republicans are urging him to make the appointment. "LAW" IN LOUISIANA. Early in the month martial law was declared throughout Jefferson parish, adjoining New Orleans, Louisiana. Governor Hall said in his proclamation that "a reign of lawlessness exists in Jefferson, parish, and it appears that authorities of the parish, charged with enforcement of the law, are in sympathy with the lawless element." The state troops confiscated and burned various gambling paraphernalia. The dispatch announcing martial law contained this statement: "Saloons serving both white persons and Negroes will be closed immediately, but other saloons will be allowed to operate as long as there is no disorder." And that is the gist of the whole affair—colored and white people are not allowed to drink together in Louisiana. Rev. Father Francis X. McCabe, president of DePaul University, is in favor of preparedness and doesn't hesitate to say so. In a recent speech he said: "Talk of universal peace is tommyrot, and there will be strife between man and man, nation and nation until the last man has turned his toes to heaven. "Two men cannot live together without having their dissensions, and even a man and a woman cannot abide with each other without fighting. "There are times when a man will fight with himself."

Said Secretary of the Navy Daniels at Washington recently, at fraternal night ceremonies: "I pray to God that the day will come in Methodism when there will not have to be any fraternal night." The Secretary added that he hoped that the day would come when there would be no Northern or Southern Methodist churches, but there will be but one church. Of course he did not exactly mean that. What he meant to say was that he hoped the time would come when there will be but one WHITE church and that the yellow, black, red and brown Christians be forbidden to enter. Segregation in Heaven?

THE "RACE PROBLEM" THAT BUGBEAR OF THIS GREAT AND GLORIOUS COUNTRY. Gets Several Punctures by Attorney W. T. Francis in a Splendid Address Before the Brotherhood Club of the First German Methodist Church, Wednesday Evening. If there is anything, more than another, of which the whites of this country, with all their boasted intelligence, are woefully and wilfully ignorant, it is their "brothers in black." Though there are, according to census records, upward of 10,000,000 of colored people in this country, who are known as such, and 20,000,000 who are not admittedly colored, practically very little of the real facts concerning them, is known by their white brothers. It is therefore a hopeful sign when the Brotherhood Club of the First German Methodist church of St. Paul, in keeping with the spirit implied by its name invited Lawyer W. T. Francis to enlighten its members on this mysterious subject last Wednesday night. farms in the southern states of a value of $1,083,658,351. "We are called a criminal class and yet the same United States census shows that among the ten million of Negroes in the United States 3,685,097 more than one out of three, are members of some religious organization. That of that number 2,211,172 are Baptist with church property valued at $24,813,089. And that 889,710 are Methodist with church property valued at $19,580,232. These figures prove that the race is advancing rapidly, despite the fact that we are commonly said to be an ignorant and criminal race. The main reason why the white man disregards, in his estimates of Negro life, the extraordinary progress of large and growing section of the race, and for the fixing of his attention almost entirely upon its less desirable members is that the latter are the Negroes most prominent in their daily lives and the display head lines in the newspapers. The Associated Press of the country features in bold type the Negro criminal, and passes unnoticed many of the commendable achievements of that class of Negroes who bearing the burden of their disadvantages, are struggling onward and upward in the march of civilization and accomplishing those things which The First German Methodist church is situated on the corner of Olive street and Van Slyck Court and includes among its members a number of the pioneers and substantial people of the pioneers and the Brotherhood Club is one of the few church that at its monthly meetings drives speakers of presumed ability to enlighten it upon various subjects. As is the custom, the address of Mr. Francis was preceded by a good substantial supper after which the speaker was introduced by the president of the club, Mr. C. F. A. Schuldt who, after a few introductory remarks spoke for nearly an hour and was listened to with the closest attention the speaker was close of the address the speaker was family applauded and on motion was tendered a unanimous vote of thanks. An opportunity was given by the president for the members to ask such questions of the speaker as they felt disposed, which was taken advantage W. T. FRANCIS, ESQ. of by several, all such questions being readily and satisfactorily answered by Mr. Francis and a number of pertinent points were elucidated. The following are some extracts from Mr. Francis' address: "The error most commonly made by those who consider the Negro at all is, that they are all alike. No thought is given, by the majority of the people, that the Negro race is differentiating and should be considered, by a whole. When freedom name the Negroes were of homogeneous mass, but the evolution of fifty years has produced strata, social, moral, intellectual and economic. "Yet many people think, speak and write of the Negro as if the problem had not undergone this evolution. "There are some who recognize intelligent and well-to-Degrees, honest and hard-working Negroes, lazy and vicious Negroes. But it is doubtful if any considerable number of those who recognize the existence of some differentiation, realize to what distinct and widely separate classes it has become, the element risen higher than people appreciate generally. This evolution progresses faster and faster as the years go by. It was slow at first. It is rapid now. the cleavage is encouraged by a determination to grasp the opportunities of the new conditions as shown right here in our own City of St. Paul where we have a population of about five thousand Negroes who are buying or owning a worth of church property; on $26,000,000 worth of property owned by fraternal organizations, and $750,000,00 in homesteads. "In 1910 there were 2,227,731 illiterate colored people in the United States and the percentage of the illiterates was 30.4. The percentage of the literates in colored population in the North Carolina was 19.18; South 48, and West 13.1. "The highest percentage of illiterates in any state is 48.4 in Louisiana, and the lowest is 3.4 in our own state of Minnesota." "When we remember that the Negro people of the United States started out empty handed, without property without education, with no schools and with great efforts to prevent the establishment of schools for their bene fit; and when we know that even now the public schools of the South for the Negroes are purposely poorly officered and managed and that the school year for the Negroes in many parts of the South is from five weeks to ten weeks, many of the Southern states like Louisiana. Negroes are not permitted to receive instruction beyond the fifth grade, and that in Florida and Georgia white people are prohibited by the state laws from teaching colored people in any institution of learning, it is wonderful indeed that today the Negroes of the United States have so far progressed that they have among their number in the professional service, as shown by the United States census for 1910. Actors 1,278; Architects 59; Artists and Sculptors 80; Authors 27; Chemists 123; Civil and Mineral Engineers 17,496; College Students and Producers 242; Dentists 478; Lawyers 850; Musicians and Teachers of Music 5,606; Physicians and Surgeons 3,077; Teachers 29,495; Trained Nurses 2,433; Veterinary Surgeons 122. That we own 860,898 homes and operate "We are called a criminal class and yet the same United States census shows that among the ten million of Negroes in the United States 3,685,097 more than one out of every three, are members of some religious organization. That of that number 2,211,172 are Baptist with church property valued at $859,089. And that 889,710 are Methodist with church property valued at $19,580,232. These figures prove that the race is advancing rapidly, despite the fact that we are common said to be an ignorant and common race. The main reason by the white man disregards, in his estimation of Negro life, the extraordinary progress of a large and growing section of the race, and for the fixing of his attention almost entirely upon its less desirable members is that the latter are the Negroes most prominent in their daily lives and the display head lines in the newspapers. The Associated Press of the country features in bold type the Negro criminal, and passes unnoticed many of the commendable achievements that class of Negroes who, bearing the same disadvantages, are struggling onwardward in the march of civilization and accomplishing those things which make better men and women and consequently better citizens of them. As the Negro gains in culture and efficiency, in his struggle for a competence, he withdraws into a world of his own, a world which lies all about the white man, yet whose existential rarely suspect. The inefficiencies of the white man, the handicapped, the unambitious, the politically degenerate—all these remain in that economic morass which you regard as purely racial; and from that class is drawn the notorious Negro, the worthless Negro and the jail bird. This kind of Negro attracts your attention, but as fast as a Negro attains, but as class he disappears from your field of vision for the Negro in higher in intellectual dustrial levels in most of the sections of this country he is by segregation pushed out of your lives and denied the right to compete with the white man. The situation of the American Negro is pitiful in the extreme. He is much like an orphan. So different from all other races of people in America for they have powerful governments back home, see the Jews, and the Jews, being God's people, are able to take care of them, and most of the American dollars. But we have no place to turn for help. The white boy sets out upon his career with 100 voices to hail and hurge him on. His race is with him, bearing him up in its sympathies and in its achievements as the ocean lifts the ship on its bosom. The Negro boy begins the ascent with his race a drag upon him. The weight of the whole mass he must lift. It he finds some voices to encourage him, there are more voices to sneer and bid him keep "his place." All the way up there are those who contest his right to rise; and he knows that if at last he succeeds, that he will upon higher range of attainment he will in an atmosphere that is chilly indeed. But if there be dignity in bearing the cross; it it be true that the better rewards of life are designed for those who overcome, then surely great credit is due such Negroes as Booker T. Washington, Fred. Douglass and hundreds of other sturdy ones who, against unparalleled odds have pushed their way, who have climbed often with bleeding fingers and bruised feet to the topmost round of the ladder of success. All we, as Negroes, want is a fair chance. We do not ask favors now. We just want liberty to be ourselves, and we must puttibute to stand on our own legs. If we maneuver the farm, dig the mines and we can plead the case and treat the sick; if we can mould our thoughts in exquisits beauty and real power in verse or on canvas; if we can be the statesmen and the leader of men—that there be no hindrance placed to the exercise of these talents. We do not ask that social equality which brings me into your home or you into mine without regard to your feelings or mine, for we realize as does every sensible man that social equality is an individual right. But we do want industrial equality—the opportunity to work on fair terms and to be treated with respect to the vest of our labor. And educational equality—the opportunity to learn and to appropriate the truth, which rightfully belongs, like the air, to all. The white people of the North, engrossed in their business and everyday life have no conception of the persistence displayed by the white people of the South, led by Vardaman, Tillman, John Sharp Williams, Hefflin, Thomas Dixon and others, in persecuting the Negro and curtailing his rights. It was Senator Tillman who weave the heated the niggers, we've threatened us, and demanded them, now we are going to disfranchise them." And through the passage, by the various southern states, of the laws known as the Educational Test with the "Understanding" clause, and the "Grandfather" clause, the Negroes of the South have been disfranchised for the past ten twenty years. But, thank God, through the recent decision of the United States Supreme Court these laws have been disfranchised for the past ten twenty southern ingenuity and prejudice cannot find another way to rob my people of their franchise they will soon enjoy the right to vote as well as to pay taxes. Josiah Royce, of Harvard one of the leading psychologists of our time, made an elaborate study of this matter of prejudice a few years ago, and pronounced it a pure "illusion"; that it is not an actual but an artificial thing and has no existence except for love and has no made to interfere with the natural order of things to change God's plans with respect to humanity. The City of St. Paul has no actual problem arising out of the Mississippi River. When allowed to flow in its natural course the Father of waters passes peacefully on its winding way until its existence is lost in the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. It adds beauty to the scenery surrounding the cities, villages and villages, and upon its broad border with its waters of commerce carry their burdens from one end of the country to another. But when the City of St. Paul attempts to alter the natural order of things and to interfere with the privileges of the Mississippi's natural course, to restrict its right of passage and change its channel for the selfish purpose of creating artificially and of its motion, a Mississippi river problem.

Anderson, a white man, induced Jennie Freeman of Enid, Okla., to leave her home and accompany him to Alexandria, Minn., where she was supposed to take a position as a domestic in his family, as he stated it. On arriving at Alexandria the girl found that he had no family, but being without funds she concluded to remain on the promise of a weekly wage of $6. Anderson, however, did not treat her right and she decided to return home after four weeks. She endeavored to take her part from Anderson but he only paid her part. She checked and signed his name to it and secured $17, with which she paid her fare home. Anderson invoked the aid of the authorities and the girl was brought back to Alexandria where she was placed on trial for forgery. She pleaded guilty, not having any one to advise and help her, and was sentenced to Stillwater June 25th. Her case was brought to the notice of the State Women's Federation and a committee comprising Mesdames Quiltman Hicks, Geo. W. Wills and T. R. Morpheus. Paul and Mrs. Hilda Kennedy of the Ministry began work on the case and waited him at their own expense. The facts in the case caused them to believe she should have denied and a petition was made out Last Wednesday the pardon board me Defective Page UNION HALL Cor. Aurora and Kent Sts.

The board took the case, and though there were 108 petitions, only two were granted and Jennie Freeman's was one of them. Lawyer B. S. Smith of Minneapolis had interested himself somewhat in the case and he was requested to make a plea before the board. He was successful in obtaining the same. As the case stands it seems that Anderson should have been placed behind the bars instead of the girl, as there are indications that the Mann white slave act has been violated. The Federation committee intend to give the case a thorough investigation. THE "RACE PROBLEM" Continued From 2nd Page country with the German, the English, the Irish, the Scotch, the French, the Swede, the Norwegian and many other races of people, and why? It is not because there are not among them paupers, for there are. It is true that among those people in this country there are drunkards, and an idle, indolent worthless class; that they have their criminal class and that they have committed every crime known to the criminal calendar, for their is no crime known to human kind that has not been committed by the white man;—but it is because there is no organized interference with the rights and privileges of those people; no studied restriction of their liberties to the human man, no Thomas Dixon of al, whose great al in life is to prevent the enjoyment of their equal rights under the laws of this land. No attempt to alter the natural order of things with which they are concerned. No attempt to interfere with the privileges of their natural course. No attempt to restrict their right of passage or to change their channel for selfish purposes. It is the utter disregard of the law of God and man, and the desire to change things where the Negroes' rights are involved in this country that creates the Negro Race Problem. The solution of the whole problem involving the white man and the black man is simple justice, a recognition of the fact that the rights of the humblest citizens are as worthy of protection as the highest. Apply this method and the problem will be solved. But whatever may be in store for this nation in the future; whether prosperity or adversity; whether there be foes within or foes without, whether there shall be peace or war, the Negro always will be a loyal and faithful American citizen, and we sincerely hope the day will soon come when we will be treated as such.
