Gardner has been stricken with blindness in her home here. Her sight held out just long enough for her to realize the ambition of her life. Mrs. Gardner, who has made her home here for many years, is a native of Colchester, Conn. Asa Packer, founder of Lehigh university, was a relative. She began painting thirty years ago in Philadelphia. Ever since she has painted only cats-cats of all types and degrees—aristocratic Persians and plain back yards. One room in her modest little home here is filled with such pictures. FIND FAN 400 YEARS OLD. Police Get Relic Once Owned by Pope's Mother In Stolen Loot. Evansville, Ind.—An ivory and mother-of-pearl fan which the owner said formerly belonged to the mother of Pope Plux IX, and is more than 400 years old, was recovered by the police here among loot from a number of Evansville homes which was found following the arrest of Walter Scott. thirty-six, an alleged housebreaker. The fan was given to Miss Minnie Henrich of this city by her mother, who had received it from her cousin, Rev. Mother Mary Magdalena, formerly connected with the family of Pope Plus IX. INDIAN DIES AT 150. Squaw Buried by Few Remaining Aged Members of Her Tribe. Bakersfield, Cal.-Mary Tecuyas, an Indian woman, reputed to be 150 years old, died recently and was buried by the few remaining members of her tribe. The aged squaw was the oldest member of an almost extinct tribe, known as the Tejons, who live in a canyon near here. The tribe is said to include fifteen Indians who are more than a hundred years old. Seventy-five Pounds of Honey In Tree. Elberton, Ga.-Messrs. H. C. Rousey, W. J. Bone, Sam Bone and Frank Rousey cut a bee tree and got seventy-five pounds of honey from it.

London—The London police are trying to trace the ownership of a superbly executed miniature of Lord Nelson, with plaitings of Lady Hamilton's hair, valued at more than $5,000, found on a taxi chauffeur charged with being in unlawful possession of property supposed to have been stolen. The Nelson relic had been in pawn for $5 since September, 1912, and the taxi man went to redeem it. It was then discovered that it was worth a large sum and that the hair in it was that of Lady Hamilton. The taxi man said it was given to his wife on her marriage, but the police were not sat isified with the story and arrested him. MASCOT DOG TRUE TO TITLE Barking, He Saves Twenty-four Students From Death In Fire. Lafayette, Ind.—Bob, the bulldog mascot of the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity of Purdue university, saved the lives of twenty-four members by arousing them when the house was burning. The two lower floors of the building were in flames when the men were awakened by the dog's barking. With the exception of one student, who was overcome and was rescued by firemen, the fraternity men escaped down the fire escapes. The building was destroyed. Kills Panther After Fight.

THE APPEAL MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINN.. SATURDAY; MAY 20, 1916. REMEMBER ROCKS HIGH TOWER BY HAND. California University's Campanile Oscillates Under Man's Pressure. Berkeley, Cal.—Elmer E. Hall, associate professor of physics of the University of California, stood at the foot of the 300 foot campanile on the campus and with one hand shook the giant structure. Professor Hall has seismograph records, photographs and a lot of data to prove that he moved the huge granite needle and is prepared to lecture to his students as to how the trick is done. He says: "I placed a delicate seismograph like those used to record earthquakes on the top of the tower. Then I went down to the ground and about once in a second pushed my hand against the granite shaft. By applying this pressure in time with the natural period of vibration of the campanile I set the whole mass in motion so that its vibrations were clearly recorded by the seismograph." The campanile is regarded as a masterpiece of earthquake resistive construction. TREATS SON FOR RABIES. Paterson Physician Rushed to Parent In Chicago For Aid. Paterson, N. J.—Belleving he was developing symptoms of hydrophobia, Dr. Francis Was of 75 East Eighteenth street, Paterson, widely known for his treatment of hydrophobia cases, left for Chicago, where he is being treated for prevention of the dreaded disease by his father, Dr. Juan Was, an eminent physician and surgeon of that city. Whether Dr. Was became infected while attending patients or through a laceration of his right leg by a dog which bit him while he was on a call at Fairlawn several weeks ago is a matter of conjecture. The dog attacked his sister, Miss Hoberdyn Was, who accompanied him. The physician saved her, but was himself bitter. Bride Finds Wealth In Attic. Point Pleasant, Va.—While rummaging in the attic of her home the day following her recent marriage at Evans, near here, Mrs. John Board found $1,800 in gold and many thousands in currency. The paper was folded together so the bills could not be separated. They were sent to the United States treasury department to be counted. The hoard was concealed under the floor of the attic. Defective Page NEW GROUNDHOG YARN. Did Not Re-enter Hole Because It Was Frozen to Death. Norwich, Conn.—Byron P. Fox, an Uncasville farmer, appeared in Norwich recently with a story that may go to show why Mr. Groundhog failed so miserably as a weather prognosticator this year. According to Mr. Fox, who admitted that until recently his confidence had never been shaken in the groundhog prophecy, a fine specimen of the woodchuck was found frozen to death near Glasbranner's livery and garage in Uncasville recently. "It must have been layin' near the road there for over a week," said Mr. Fox. "Cose, it didn't see its shadow the road it came out, and I suppose the critter was too blamed proud to crawl back afterward. Anyhow, it stayed out and was frozen. No wonder we've freezin' weather." PLUMBERS MUSTN'T RIDE. Union Forbide Them to Go on Bicycles For Short Tasks. Elkhard, Ind.—"We walk!" has been the slogan of Elkhard journeyman plumbers since the passing of a rule by the union forbidding the use of bicycle or motorcycle in going to and from "short jobs." The penalty is a $5 fine. Men are permitted under the rule to ride to work for all day tasks and to use wheels at the noon lunch hour, but they must not make intervening trips on wheels. They may be passengers at any time in vehicles provided by their regular employers. The rule was the result of a boast at a union meeting of one of the men that he had completed an unusually large number of "short jobs" during that particular day because he used a bicycle. Woman a Moonshiner. Parkerburg, W. Va.-Mrs. Sarah Reed and Wiley Marks of Caliburn county began serving prison sentences recently after pleading guilty to a charge of operating a still for the manufacture of moonshine whisky. The couple were sentenced to pay fines of $1,000 and serve terms of six months. Chicken Eating a Steak Springfield, Mass.—John B. Marcille, a well known railroad man, choked to death while eating a steak in a restaurant. CHILD'S CASE A PUZZLE. Bedridden and Speechless For Three Years After Fall, Now Cured Excepting Her Mind Fails to Register Fact. Los Angeles Teacher Led Her to Walk and Speak. Los Angeles—One of the most remarkable cases known in medical history and one fraught with interest both to surgeons and to students of psychology has been called to the attention of scientists in this city. It is the case of Carolta Sausedo, a fifteen-year-old schoolgirl. For three years Carlotaa was considered a hopeless paralytic, who would never be able to speak or walk. She had been injured by a fall on her head from a swing when she was twelve years old. It is declared now by doctors and her teachers that whatever body or brain injuries she may have received from that fall have been absolutely outgrown and that she is perfectly normal physically and mentally, except that her mind has failed to register the fact of her recovery. In other words, according to the doctors, if the child's mind can be wakened to the fact that she has recovered from her fall she will be able to walk, talk and develop as other children do. While three weeks ago Carlotaa could not speak and could not walk alone, today she speaks with ease, walks without help and can even walk up and down the school stairs alone. Three years ago the little girl pitched from a swing to her head. She was picked up and stood-on her feet. Instead of standing still she began to whirl round and round. She was entirely unable to stand still or to sit up. She was put to bed and pronounced a hopeless paralytic. Her power of speech was completely stopped. With the beginning of the present school term Miss Ettle Lee, one of the grammar school teachers, discovered the child. There were five other children in the family, all normal, and Miss Lee inquired into Carlotaa's history. Securing medical examination, she learned that, whatever bodily injury may have been caused by the fall, it no longer existed. "We cannot tell Carlotaa she is not a cripple or sick, because her mind has to be wakened up gradually to that fact," Miss Lee said, "but we are teaching her by degrees. She is placed in a special class at school, and her teacher invents little exercises and lessons for her. "She had to be almost carried to school. Her teacher made a small sand pile in the playground and many times a day took Carlotaa, there and helped her walk over it. Today Carlotaa can walk up and down the school stairs. "When school opened she could not talk. Now she talks to us and knows what we say. She can count in English and Spanish and can write her own name. Her father tells me she was unusually bright before the fall, and I see no reason to suppose that she cannot be restored to her former condition. "She has been in bed for the greater part of the past three years, as the schools at Chino would not take her in. So while her body healed itself, apparently, her mind never recovered from the shock of the fall." Little Carotaa was taken to the Parent-Teacher clinic for further examinations to verify the diagnosis of other doctors. If a similar report is made her special teachers will continue as they have begun in their novel work of teaching the child's mind that her body is neither paralyzed nor injured in any way. OLDEST RED CROSS MEMBER. In Pointed Cap, Canadian Indian, Who at 108 Sends Portrait. Ottawa, Canada.—A novel picture has been received by Sir Robert Borden, the Canadian premier, and forwarded by him to the local Red Cross rooms. It is that of the oldest member of the Red Cross society in the world and at that a western Indian, Pointed Cap, who belongs to the File hills Indian reserve in Saskatchewan. He will be 108 years old on Nov. 14 next. The establishment of a branch of the Red Cross society for these Indians shows how deeply the people of all classes in the Dominion are interested in the war and eager to find a way of lending assistance, it is said. PROFESSOR LOST IN WILDS. Wife Sails to Search Australia For Missing Entomologist. Berkley, Cal.-Mrs. Genevieve Bridwell, wife of J. W. Bridwell, former entomologist at the University of California, is on her way to the antipodes in search of her husband, who went into the wilds of Western Australia some months ago as the agent of the Hawaiian government in search of parasites to control insect pests. Professor Bridwell was last heard from when he sailed from Sydney, N. S. W., for ports on the west coast of Australia, whence he expected to proceed inland. In business, fortunes are not realized Unless your goods are amply advertised. TO SCHOOL ON SKIS. Then Crawl Down to the Door Through a Hole in the Snow. Ellensburg, Wash.—Coming to school on snowshoes and skis, sliding over the schoolhouse roof and climbing down to the door through twelve feet of snow is the experience of children at the school at Meadow Creek. Mrs. Mary Boedcher, county superintendent, has received a number of letters which tell the children's idea of the situation. "Our schoolhouse is about twelve feet high on the outside," writes one boy, "but the snow is so deep that a person can walk right over and not know that there is a building there. We have to crawl down eight steps through a hole in the snowbank to get into it." "We live in a tent," says a twelve-year-old girl in the seventh grade. "The roof is covered with large pieces of bark. All that you can see of the house is the very front, where you go out. I went halfway to school on the skis and crawled a little way so as not to go in so deep." Mrs. Beach, the teacher, in her report to Mrs. Boedcher, said that in spite of the snow school kept up every day and that only two absentees were noted during the severe weather. SHE TRAVELS FAR TO BE MRS. Young Woman Popped by Mail, Bought Ring and License. Des Molines.—After traveling over 600 miles Miss Augusta Knies of Lansing, Mich., became the first leap year bride of this city by leading Harley Decker of 1299 East Twenty-sixth street to the altar. She managed the whole affair. She popped the question, named the wedding day, paid her railroad fare, purchased the marriage license and bought the ring. Miss Knies, who is twenty-five, was strolling along the streets of Detroit with a girl friend last June. Her companion greeted a young man, and fifteen seconds later she was introduced to her future husband. It was Decker, then employed in a Detroit automobile factory. He was called back to Des Molines by the illness of a sister in February. Three weeks ago Miss Knies popped the question by mail, and Decker, who is twenty-nine years old, accepted. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Frank W. Mutchler of the Great Park Church of Christ. PREFERRED CAVE TO LIFE IN A SOD HOUSE Unique Home of Pioneer and Family Brought to Light. Garber, Okla.—The falling of five feet of cement porch of a farmhouse a half mile north of Garber brings to light the unique home of a pioneer of this section. Under this porch was a cave. The cave was dug in 1894. At a point along a little ravine a sandstone ledge cropped out, and there S. H. Peters tunneled under and excavated two large rooms, with a sandstone ledge about three feet thick for a roof. The rooms extended sixty feet under the ground, and at the deepest place there was perhaps eight feet of dirt on top. To the back room a skylight 3 by 5 feet was opened. The rooms were plastered and white-coated, and the rock roof was white-washed, making it light enough for one to read newspapers in any part of the cave. It was very dry at that time, and coffee kept in the cave ground easily. S. H. Peters and his family lived there many months before he built a home above ground. The stovepipe ran up the skylight, and to persons passing along the road the smoke coming out of the ground was a novel sight. Hundreds of persons visited this cave home, and all wondered why the roof didn't fall in, as it was not supported by timbers. When the wet years came a little spring in the cave which furnished all the water for the family overflowed the rooms at times, and in recent years when the drain became clogged the cave filled with water. The plower later built a house almost over the cave. S. H. Peters was but little longer digging the cave home than was required to build a sod house of the same size. Sod houses were the first homes of most of the plowers. The plaster was the only expense to the cave home. Today this section has the finest country homes in the state and is in the wheat belt. Fifty-seven Years Without Vacation Bridgeport, O.—After being on the job for fifty-seven years as toll collector at the Bridgeport end of the Wheeling-Bridgeport bridge, John Richardson will retire. He had worked fifty-seven years without a vacation or illness, but a few days ago he became ill and was forced to abandon his post. He says he enjoyed his "vacation" so much that he will make it permanent. Pneumonia Swifter Than Bullet Passaic, N. J.—Charles Uhlermann of Clifton, who attempted suicide recently, is dead from pneumonia. The boy wrote a note to his parents telling them "they soon would know the reason" for his act, then shot himself. The wound was not serious, but pneumonia developed soon afterward. $2.40 PER YEAR. SPENT FORTUNE TO TRAIN ORPHANS Washington Teacher Aided Those Who Sought Education. LIVED MODESTLY TO DO ACT Used Income of High School Instructor In Moderate Manner, and With Money He Earned by Writing He Was Able to Educate Eighteen Students. Everett, Wash.—F. D. Mack, teacher in the Central school, has spent about $40,000 in educating eighteen students, seventeen boys and one girl, during the last sixteen years, according to a story he reluctantly told a newspaper representative. Living on his school salary in a modest way both in Minnesota, his former home, and in Washington, he has earned the money to send students through universities by writing short stories and magazine articles. He has paid out between $2,000 and $3,000 on each of his "children." Some of the youngsters were orphans, and some had one parent, but all were eager to learn and were handicapped by lack of money. The thirteen boys who are alive are all actively engaged in the professions in which Mr. Mack has educated them. Two are druggists, one being in St. Paul and the other in Los Angeles. Two are instructors in the University of Minnesota, where they were graduated. One teaches mathematics, and the other is an instructor in German. This latter young man plans to be a physician and in 1914 married a girl who wished to go to Germany to get her master's degree, so he and his bride sailed for Germany to continue their studies, only to be turned back by the beginning of the war. Mr. Mack sent him through Normal school, the University of Minnesota and Harvard, where he received his master's degree. A young man who chose to be a broker received his education at the University of Illinois. He started out to be an architect, but changed his mind and took a commercial course. He was graduated four years ago and is now in Minneapolis engaged in the lumber broker business. He is the best money maker of the "family." In his four years out of college he has made $40,000. A mining engineer who was educated at the University of Minnesota is now working in a mine at Butte, Mont. The banker received a thorough commercial education, and then Mr. Mack set him up in business in a bank in Elgin, N. D. Mr. Mack says that if any of his boys wants to start in business he always gives them enough money to begin. He recently bought an eighty acre farm for one of them. A dentist lives in Chicago. He had four years at the University of Valparaiso. Mr. Mack says this boy married a rich nurse. One boy who studied to be a lawyer lost his health after his graduation from the University of Minnesota law school, so could not practice, and is now employed as chief of the Minnesota state fish and game commission, with headquarters at St. Paul. Self educated and quiet, Mr. Mack would not be thought responsible for one of the most unusual philanthropies in the world. NO PAINTER'S COLIC FOR HIM Bill For "Tint" Makes Bachelor issue Leap Year Declaration. Elwood, N. J.-Robert W. Hunt. a retired college instructor, received a letter recently from a neighboring town containing a bill for 40 cents for "tint" purchased by "Mrs. Hunt." Hunt is a good looking bachelor with a steady income, and the inquisitive element of Elwood at once interpreted the post-office bulletin in terms of leap year possibilities. To quiet the buzzing gossip, Hunt has issued the following statement: "We have had several offers of marriage, and one or two ladies have assumed we were engaged without making any offer, and it is with fear and trembling we pass each day of this year, which is divisible by four. However, when Mrs. Hunt does arrive she shall come as nature painted her, with eyes like the heavens, with cheeks like the rose and with lips like the damp of crushed strawberry. She shall have no need of 'tint.' When we want a kiss we don't propose to mess through two or three coats of paint to get it." Dogs Tree Insane Man. Oregon City, Ore—Peter Brevio, aged forty-three, an Italian, was treed with the aid of bloodhounds arrested and brought back to Oregon City and committed to the State Hospital For the Insane. Brevio lived in a bollow tree, and his diet consisted of roots, berries and what food he could find around neighboring farmhouses. He stole an ax from a farmhouse and passed much of his time chopping down trees. A number of men of the district determined to arrest Brevio and went to his tree home. The Italian run away. Dogs were then put on his trail. ```markdown ``` --- THE HONOUR HE ABOVE? THE APPEAL AN AMERICAN NEWSPAPER ISSUED WEEKLY J. Q. ADAMS, EDITOR AND PUBLISHER ST.

There is always rejoicing in hell when the South succeeds. The regions of the damned were the scene of great hilarity when the word was passed around that the Southern plan of reuniting the Methodist church north and the Methodist church south had been unanimously approved, "with a display of emotion without a parallel in many general conferences." The plan favors the segregation of the colored membership in "special conferences" and as the vote was according to the press dispatches, unanimous, it seems that not one of the many colored delegates had the manhood to make a protest against the unholy, ungoody plan. Thus seventy-one years after the Methodist Episcopal church split on the slavery question, the hypocritical northern branch welcomes back the church south over the prostrate body of its colored membership. If that is Christianity the writer prefers to be damned. The Methodist church fought slavery with zeal in 1844, the general conferences by resolution ordered a bishop who held slaves to refrain from exercising his episcopal function until he had washed his hands of slavery. The Southerners were so infuriated by this action that the Methodist Episcopal church south was organized in Louisville, Ky., in 1845. HARRIS & EWING WASHINGTON D.C. Secretary of the Republican National Committee and One of the Strongest Men in the Party, Who is Now Located in Chicago, With His Official Staff, Preparing for the Coming Convention. Secretary of the Republican National Committee and One of the Strongest Men in the Party, Who is Now Located in Chicago, With His Official Staff, Preparing for the Coming Convention. HON. FRED W. UPHAM. HON. FRED W. UPHAM. Chairman of the Chicago Committee of Arrangements for the Chicago Board of Trade. In agreeing to draw the color line on its colored membership the Methodist church is following the lead of other so-called Christian bodies in the United States. The alleged Christians are defying God, but He is not mocked. The probable eventual solution of the color line in religion will be the introduction of Mohammedanism into the United States. Islam PRACTICES the doctrine of the "Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man" and welcomes all men to its folds. And of the Methodist bishops, Bishop Hartzell has declared that the Mohammedan negroes in Africa are superior in every way to those who have embraced Christianity and this in the face of the fact that he was laboring zealously to propagate Christianity. WOULD ABOLISH THE HYPHEN. Universal service in military training camps as an aid toward Americanizing the immigrant has been suggested by G. Bernard Anderson, Swedish vice-consul at Chicago. Here is what Mr. Anderson says: "I think immigrants will get more of the American spirit by serving for some weeks side by side with born Americans than by being lectured or instructed. It would bring men together in a common movement. "I do not really favor the holding of meetings in which the difference between American born citizens and naturalized citizens is emphasized. In fact, I feel that we ought to get rid of the hyphen in America at once and for all time. Any meeting in which it is a part of the program calls attention to it. I do not really favor any reference to the term Swedish-American. I think every man who came from Sweden ought to forget the hyphen. It is true that those who come from Sweden have many tender recollections of the old country and also that they are among the quickest to adopt American ways fully and completely. For the latter reason I should like to see the Swedish part of the term dropped. I think it would be dropped quickly, too, were it not for some men who try to make political capital out of it by playing to the so-called 'hyphenation' vote. "Foreigners in America should be quietly made Americans through educational method, by patriotic concerts in the parks and patriotic meetings on occasions of national moment. The group meetings should be discouraged." Mr. Anderson is right. People who come here and become citizens ought to drop the hyphen and become Americans in fact. And if this is true how much more important is it that people who are born in the United States should reject any proposals to set them apart in groups for any reason or purpose whatsoever. The colored people are citizens fortified by ten generations of residence and they should shun any schemes which segregate them in any way. Such plans, no matter how alluring, they may seem are un-American, dangerous and damnable. It is very gratifying and encouraging that every once in a whille, some white man is right in heart and head and manly enough to express himself as a pure unadulterated MAN. The only people who create any trouble in this world along race or color lines are those who cultivate the erroneous idea, that they are superior to other human beings made in the image of the Creator, and who do not recognize the brotherhood of man. "Of one blood God created all the nations of the earth." We therefore were very much pleased at and heartily indorse the sentiments of Bishop William A. Neagle, who in an address before the Methodist Conference, now in session at Saratoga Springs, N. Y., the other day, on the occasion of anniversary of the Freedmen's Aid and Southern Educational Society, said: "If I belonged to a church that refused membership to a black man I would be excused. I want to belong to a church of all men. Complexion cuts no figure in the sight of God, for you can buy so much complexion with so little money. If you tried to fix up a white church I would not join it." Great God, give us more such men, we pray thee! "BASIS OF SOCIAL STRIFE." In a recent address before the Sunday Evening Club, Bishop Charles D. Williams handed out some straight goods. We quote three sterling paragraphs: "Nine-tenths of our social strife come from trying to know people by labels or numbers. We require a great deal more temperance and virtue from the tramp who comes to the back door and asks for cold victuals than we do from the society youth who comes into the drawing-room and asks for our daughter's hand. "Think of the simple Russian, German and French peasants across the sea tonight, murdering each other. If you went through the ranks most of them wouldn't know what it is all about. They are doing it just because some one in authority has labeled the other fellow—'enemy.' THE MUSEUM OF ART AND COLLECTION HON. LAWRENCE Y. SHERMAN. Illinois' Favorite Son and Candidate for the Republican Nomination President. "The secret of nearly all our hatred and indifference toward our neighbors is because we don't know them. We are all slaves to names and titles; we hate to face realities. We are getting morally color blind to the finer shades of right and wrong. Often we are afraid to be alone with our real selves for fear we should get acquainted with them." HANDS OFF PUBLIC SCHOOL In a strong report to the Religious Education association, Dr. George A. Coe, professor of religious education in the Union Theological seminary, New York, gives reasons why church and public schools should be separate: "The opposing religious bodies are still watchful of one another. No workable plan for increasing the religious functions in the public schools is likely to be agreed upon. "The argument for teaching the Bible in the public schools on the ground of its literary merits seems to have had little weight because it has been advanced by religionists from evidently religious motives. "The forces that are devoting themselves assidiously to the reform of religious education are rarely, if ever, eager to commit religious functions to the state. The demand that the public schools provide religious education proceeds in large measure from persons who feel that something needs to be done, but have not yet become absorbed in the details of the reconstruction that is already under way within the churches." The reasons are logical and those who wish to carry religious teaching into the public schools are enemies of the state. Voliva the prophet of Zion City insists that the earth is flat. Many years ago, Rev. John Jasper of Richmond, Va., declared that the "Sun do move." He attracted considerable attention, and that's just about all that Volva desires at this time. HON. LAWRENCE Illinois' Favorite Son and Candidate For P Members of the Haitian senate who persisted in holding a meeting in spite of the warning of Rear Admiral Caperton, in command of the American forces, were dispersed at Port-au-Prince by a detachment of gens d'armes commanded by an American officer. The senators protested but offered no resistance. This procedure seems much like the "operations" of the Germans in Belgium and Serbia, which have shocked our "humanitarian" president. REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION. Georgia will send two complete sets of delegates to the Republican national convention, and both will go uninstructed. They are: Jackson wing—Henry S. Jackson, of Atlanta; J. M. Barnes, of Thomson; Henry Lincoln Johnson, colored, of Atlanta, and B. J. Davis, colored, also of Atlanta. Wong wing—Walter H. Johnson, of Columbus; Henry Blun, of Savannah; J. W. Lyons, colored, of Augusta, and H. A. Rucker, colored, of Atlanta. Louisiana white and colored Republicans will send contesting delegations to Chicago conventions. The lily-whites met and elected twelve delegates. The colored men appeared at the Gruenewald Hotel and demanded admission, but were refused the hotel management saying that colored men could not participate in convention meetings at hostelry. The colored men charge that this was the ruse by which the lily-whites barred them. They will send a full delegation. Frank J. Hogan and Dr. Edward W. Williston were elected delegates, and Julius I. Peyser and George W. Robertson, alternates, from the District of Columbia to the Republican national convention to be held in Chicago next month, according to the ballots cast at the primaries last Friday, and officially counted Monday night by the returning board at the office of Attorney George C. Gertman in the Century building. The Hogan-Williston ticket was accorded 5,614 votes of a total of 7,246 cast at the primaries, by official count. The Miller-Chase ticket, composed of Robert I. Miller, Calvin Chase, delegates. Arthur B. Hayes and Dr. Albert R. Collins, alternates, got 1,603 votes. The Bradshaw-Marsall ticket, composed of Aaron Bradshaw and Dr. Charles H. Marshall, delegates; Angus Early and L. Melendez King, alternates, got 1,029 votes. Arrangements for the republican national convention are all being directed toward preparation for a pro-convention will open on Wednesday, and that may carry the sessions through week-end. The June 7, and every step in the preparations was taken with a view to a long grind of roll calls. The lease on the Coliseum holds the building for convention purposes "until the convention adjourns," and the preparedness for a long session is being made so complete that even the seats to be occupied by the delegates must be upholstered to make the tedium of a deadlock more easy to endure. R. R. Church, Jr., of Memphis is the colored member of the Tennessee delegation to the Republican National Convention. The conviction is steadily growing and political leaders in Washington that Justice Charles E. Hughes will be nominated as the Republican presidential candidate after the convention has gone through the formality of casting complimentary votes for favorite sons. Senator Boies Penrose's victory in the Pennsylvania primary, although unofficial returns indicate that he may not have a solid delegation behind him, strengthened materially the hand of the old guard and assures them control of the republican national convention. Some see in the Penrose victory at the same time a strong possibility that Philander C. Knox, former secretary of state, attorney general and United States attorney, will have to be reckoned with in the selection of a republican candidate for president. Fred W. Upham, pledged to Senator Lawrence Y. Sherman, Illinois' favorite son, is known to have a leaning toward Eilhuh Root of New York, Mr. CE Y. SHERMAN. ate for the Republican Nomination resident. Upham will carry out his obligations to Senator Sherman, but when it is seen that the Illinois man can not win it is believed that he will be with Root or with somebody who is favored by the Root wing of the party.

M. H. Hon. Richard T. Greener, Late U. S. Consul at Vladivostok, Eminent Scholar, Literateur, Writer and Diplomat and Personal Friend of the Great Charles Sumner, Lauds THE APPEAL. As one who knew Sumner and tried to practice his theories I wish to express my approval of your utterances in THE APPEAL and I can urge them as complements. I congratulate you on the poise, logic and courage of your editors. WALLER AGAINST "NEGRO" Noted Brooklyn Doctor Says It Causes Mental and Physical Segregation. (From Amsterdam News.) Editor Amsterdam News: Sir: I cannot too heartily congratulate you on a recent editorial discouraging the use of the word "Negro." There is no greater delight enjoyed by the white people of the United States today than the spreading use of this unfortunate term. Why? They realize that it is the most potential factor in the present to bring about both a sense of segregation of the people of color. Its use is on the increase only because our speakers and writers, especially Do Bols and Washington feel that its repetition, ad nauseam, is necessary to retain the good will of the masses. The term "Negro" is not only absurdly inaccurate as applied to millions of colliery people, but it is also alarmingly injurious to historically or in the present, anywhere in the world, for anything noble or upflifting. Most high-grade Africans repudiate it. b. In Africa and out of Africa it was never applied to the higher types, but to Guineae, Sudanese and Senegambians only. c. Its derivatives, "Negroism," "Negrofy," and its compounds, Negro-head, Negro-fly, Negro-monkey, are all clearly, in their associations, degrading. e. It has been the word used by the Southern whites for two centuries, when formally speaking or writing about an unworthy or criminal man or woman of the race. For when he speaks of the worthy he invariably says "good." f. It is not differentiated in the mind and thought of the whites from their favorite and generally used (among themselves) terms, "Nigro" and "Nigger." g. As stated by an eminent Japanese diplomat it has an unquestioned influence in cutting us off from the thought, sympathy and co-operation of the millions of colored Africans, Asiatics and Islanders of the Yonder world. Very truly yours. OWEN M. WALLER, M. D Hates the Term "Negro." "I hate the term Negro because it is being used in terms of hatred. It is the cause of the segregation of the Negro; it is being used in contempt in public places; it is an excuse for distranchising him; and it is an excuse for lynching him. Only one person one per cent of the colored people in America can trace their descent to Africa and there is no more right to call all white people Negroes than to call all white people Turks or Armenians."—Ex-Assistant United States Attorney General Wm. H. Lewis, Boston, Mass. Must Judge A Group by Its Best (From the Christian Register, Boston, Mass.) No one can be said to know any class of people who has not been in intimate and sympathetic relation with the best as well as the worst of the class. We compare the persons who live in the South, and those who know the colored race, with others who have had no such contact, but who have come into intimate and sympathetic relations with large numbers of that race whom their Southern friends have never known; and of the two sets of people we should say that the second knew the colored people better than the first. They know applaud among them that the others do not, or not, know, do not enter into and appreciate; they know capabilities by direct contact with the best of the race which others are obliquely of; they know qualities which only respect and sympathy can bring out; they know possibilities to which others by their very acquaintance are blinded. If those who know the col- GOD GIVE US MEN. God give us men! A time like this demands Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and ready hands; Men whom the lust of office does not kill; Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy; Men who possess opinions and a will; Men who have honor—men who will not lie; Men who can stand before a demagogue And damn his treacherous flatteries without winking! Tall men, sun crowned, who live above the fog In public duty and in private thinking. —J. G. Holland. (Signed) Richard T. Greener. ored race through the mass and by observation merely could know what individual possibilities are demonstrated in growing numbers of the elect, and would be courageously candid with themselves, they would revise their judgments and possibly soften their prejudices. At any rate, they ought to credit to those on whom they charge ignorance of the colored race the values that come from knowing how many of that race are the equal of any member of the dominant race in the highest abilities and in the clearest aims. No estimate is worth much which does not take people at their best. OUR NEED OF JUXTAPOSITION (From the Boston Guardian.) That we much rather be, and associate ourselves, is a lesson by Colored Americans that has been almost true. That is a mistake; it is a feeling of avowed cowardice and innate inferiority. It is an utter possibility for the two races to subscribe to a common government, and, at the same time, each race work out its own salvation. The "theory" has been tried and resulted into a ghastly failure; instead of making for harmony and cordial good feeling between two races, it has increased race bond and antagonism in leaps and bumps from the same heeded too long the advice from false and treacherous leadership that it only breeds red and antagonism; that the thing for us to do is to get property and other rights will inevitably follow. We have followed this "advice" faithfully and have been rewarded in terms of residence segregation, street segregation, confiscation and loss of resistance, anti-intermarriage—which is all of the blackest pieces of legislation, since that it leaves our women defenses and at the mercy of white brutes in the schools, fjmcrow cars, and even legislatures, exclude further Negro immigration. These are the evils resulting from resistance" and "rather be by ourselves." That with the same degree of efforty and terrible legislation with which our property is taken and confiscated, with this same efforty and legislation will our political and manhood rights be taken from us. That is a fact. Every congress offers legislation degrading and intimidating our well being. Race prejudice, therefore, can only be worn down by attrition. We must send our children, and go ourselves, to mixed institutions and other places where we can mix with the other races consequently become accustomed to one another. ABOVE ALL THINGS WE MUST WELCOME AND PRACTICE JUXTAPOSITION. (Gerald Stanley Lee in Mount Tom). I am a human being. I do not propose to be cooped up or shut in in my love and criticism to mere geographical streaks or spots of people on a planet. This planet is small enough as it is, when one considers the height and depth—of the starry height and depth—of the human spirit that wavers and glows through us all—Wagner and Shakespeare, Tolstoi and Mollere! Though the cathedrals quarrel together and sing praises with gale-guns to their own little foolish minds, and rain bombs on each their naves, I take my stand by the great bells ringing in their towers, by the poets of their poets overriding the years, by the prayers and songs of their heroes, artists, inventors, by the mothers and the little children. We are all in the same world. We are all alike. I will not say of any one nation what I will not say of the others; and I will not say of any man what I will not say of myself. (From the Richmond Planet.) When a race or an individual submits uncomplainingly to oppression, it is a practical demonstration that the race or the individual is not worthy of freedom. Of One Blood.

Reese has filed for the Republican nomination for Congress in the Fourth district and will have no opposition at the primaries, as all good Republicans are for him. Mr. Reese has been a resident of St. Paul for more than a quarter of a century and has been one of the most active men in Republican politics. He is a first-class lawyer and served as clerk of the supreme court a few years ago, but has never held or sought another office. He is one of the best and most enthusiastic speakers in the state and he has stumped the state for the party in all the campaigns and has helped elect hundreds of Republicans, and that turn will how elect him. He is fair, square and blue, and knows no man by race, color or creed and will make a very valuable member of the next Congress, to which his election is almost a foregone conclusion. A delegation of fifteen club women called on former governor Eberhart on Tuesday seeking his support in having a suffrage plank inserted in the Republican platform. Mr. W. T. Francis, M. l. C. Bacon and Mrs. George M. Kenyon delivered impropultu suffrage addresses. M. Eberhart suppressed his aid, although he admitted he was a firm believer in equal suffrage. Some of the women will go to Chicago convention week to take part in the suffrage parade. "The Spinsters' Convention," the little playlet that was presented at Memorial Baptist church Friday evening of last week under the auspices of the Willing Workers' club, was a decided success in every way. Each of the 40 characters in the play was designed to be furnished much fun. Of course, refreshments were required. The receipts totaled $2.72 which is very good for a ten-cent entertainment. But they had some hustlers who brought about the success and deserved the credit. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Tel.

Editor of THE APPEAL St. Paul, Minnesota. My dear Mr. Adams: For the last twenty years, to my knowledge, whenever bricks, cabbages or aged eggs were being presented to the race your towering form and defiant eye was to be seen where the missiles flew thickest. So that it seems the height of absurdity to ask you where you stand in this fight for United States Senatorship. That Senator Clapp is entitled to the vote of every man with a drop of African blood in his veins, is a proposition that requires no argument. CHARLES W. SCRUTCHIN. as you know we are ten million people without any representation in Congress and with only two men in a pinch that we can put our hands on and say they are our men. I refer to Moses E. Clapp in the Senate and Martin B. Madden of Illinois in the House. Whenever the fight has waxed hot by the southern representative, our junior Senator has thrown himself in the breastworks and fought tooth and nail for us, and it would be cowardice on our side. Now now that he has a fight of his own. It is refreshing to note what the Easter number of the "Crisis" has to say of him: "The term of Moses E. Clapp, United States Senator from Minnesota, expires on March 14th, 1917. Already his enemies are laying plans to defeat him for renomination and re-election. "With one possible exception, Senator Clapp is the only member of the Senate who can be absolutely relled on to report every measure in the interests of colored people, and to fight prejudice and injustices without cessation. "He has never failed us on a single occasion. Whenever this association wants something done for colored people we write to him. We have never asked him to speak at a mass meeting, to write a letter to some high official, to introduce a good bill or fight a bad one, and received a refusal from him. He has fought anti-intermarriage bills, tooth and nail. He has favored favorable amendments to the Smith-Lloyd Act. It was he who induced the Secretary of War to send an official representative of the War Department to our Spingarn Garmal meeting in Boston. "We do not know if he desires relection. But is he does, every colored man and woman, every friend of the Negro, every lover of justice, and fairplay should rally to his support. And if he does not, we should all do our work to persuade him to alter his mind. Poor need him just where he is. Senator for the county, he represents the interests of colored people in the Senate of the United States.—J. E. S." Also the Grimkes: "Senator Moses E. Clapp is the best friend the colored people now have in the United States Senate. His sympathies for the race are broad and deep. Negroes are men; therfore he is his friend. They are American citizens; therefore they have a special claim upon his friendship. They are weak; therefore they make the strongest appeal to him. They have wrongs; therefore they have a special claim to redress those wrongs. He is the best and respects men for what they are. He does not hold himself better than another because that other happens to be black, and he holds no man superior merely because he happens T. E. STEELE. AN OPEN LETTER. Defective Page to be white. He is every inch a man, and the friend of all men, irrespective of race, color or creed. He is the noblest Roman in the Senate today, a great Senator, an honor to Minneapolis and be mason, and an ever-present friend to the men in their need. Colored men, give him your votes. We need him, and the country needs him. ARCHIBALD H. GRIMKE, FRANCIS J. GRIMKE." Cordially yours. COLORED GIRL Gets Verdict for $912 Against Laundry Company for Assault and Battery. Miss Marguerite Reeve, a young colored girl of St. Paul, was awarded a verdict of $912 against the Rice Phillips Laundry Co. in the District court of St. Paul Thursday, May 18th, 1916, for assault and battery. Miss Reeve, who is only 18 years of age, worked at the Model laundry for nearly four years. November 24th, 1915, a dispute arose between Miss Reeve and the forelady. The forelady called Clifford W. Bascom, the secretary and general manager of the company, who after hearing the forelady's story, slapped Miss Reeve's face, struck her several violent blows in the breast, called her several names too vile to print, and discharged her. Attorney J. Louis Ervin handled Miss Reeve's case for her, unassisted. The Rice Phillips Laundry Co. was represented by attorneys Denegre and BLACK CROOK. JR."

WHEREAS, The Detroit Federation of Women's Clubs, an organization composed of white women's clubs of the city of Detroit, Mich., has decided by a vote of its members that it will not affiliate with the national federation (white) except the Detroit Study Club, composed of colored women of the city of Detroit, is permitted to affiliate. THEREFORE, Be It Resolved that the Everywoman Suffrage Club of St. Paul, Minn., Mrs. W. T. Francis, president, does hereby heartily commend the action of this magnanimous body of women, engaged as they are in an effort to uplift ALL women without respect to race or color, and to wish them success in this effort. AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED. That the president of each of the state federations comprising the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs (Mrs. Booker T. Washington, president) shall be requested to have each club in her state federation send a resolution similar to this to the Detroit Federation of Women's Clubs and the Detroit Study Club. AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED. That a copy of this resolution be sent to the "National Notes," a copy to the Detroit Federation of Women's Clubs, a copy to the Detroit Study Club, and a copy to prominent race newspapers with the request that the college press make public the generous attitude the Detroit Federation of Women's Club composed of white women's clubs, toward this colored club of their city. Mrs. W. T. Francis, Chairman, Press Committee, Na'l Ass'n. of Colored Women's Clubs, St. Paul, Minn. "ON TO BALTIMORE." From the Department of the Pres., National Association of Colored Women's Clubs. Easily, the greatest forward race movement of the age is the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs, and the leading spirit among them, the President, Mrs. Booker T. Washington. Emerging from the gloom which has recently enveloped her, she has apparently re-consecrated her life to the uplift of the race, and by her helpful messages of encouragement to club leaders all over the country is inspiring officers, department heads and members to a greater activity than has ever before been evinced in the work. The next Biennial will be held at Baltimore, Md., in August. This meeting bids fair to be the most interesting in the history of the Association. The meeting in 1912 at Hampton was intensely interesting and inspiring; that at Wilberforce in 1914 was wonderful and far reaching in its effects—a wonderful group of women, showing a remarkable insight in the philosophy of life and demonstrating a constructive ability which portends wonderful results in the next "On to Baltimore" is the slogan of every once organization of women, and where the women are the men will likewise be found.
