The Appeal

VOL. 33. NO 2 LET OLD GLORY FLY LET OLD GLORY FLY Duffy Ignored U Boat's Command to Lower Colors. When Captain and Crew of Thirty-four Got Into Small Boats, Flag Was Snapping In Breeze—They Pulled Away From the Side of the Doomed Liner With It Still Flying. New York.—Captain John L. Duffy, stockily built, square jawed, weather tanned, was among the first of the 274 passengers who came ashore from the French liner Rochambeau. Until Nov. 28, the captain was in command of the American steamship Chomung. On that day a torpedo from an Austrian submarine sank his ship in the Mediterranean off the coast of Spain. The captain was not at all dismayed by his experience, and he said that he would take out another vessel just as soon as he could get one. He has made several trips to Archangel during the war, and submarines do not scare him a bit. Until he goes to see again CAPTAIN JOHN L. DUFFY. the skipper will be at his home, 237 East One Hundred and Sixty-third street. "The Cheming went down with her flag flying," said the captain as he recalled how he refused to obey an order of the Austrian commander to strike his flag. "We were out from New York with a general cargo and off the Spanish coast in the Mediterranean when the submarine came along." Captain Duffy said. "A shot across our bows was the signal for us to stop, and we did. We had been on the lookout for submarines, and for this reason we did not lose any time in hauling up the signal that we were stopping." The submarine Third Officer Jacobsen rowed to her, carrying with him the ship's papers. The commander was for arresting the skipper, but apparently he was satisfied with the destruction of the steamer. Moreover, he was placeted by Jacobsen's statement that the captain was a good sort of man. The submarine commander signaled for the flag to be lowered, but the skipper paid no attention. He and his crew of thirty-four got into small boats, and the flag was snapping from the side of the doomed liner. "We were hardly out of range when the submarine opened fire on the Chemung," the skipper continued. "She attempted to sink the船 by shell fire, but as this had apparently no effect and the vessel continued to ride high out of water the commander sent a torpedo into her. She sank within two minutes." When the Chemung went down the submarine circled about and picked up the two small boats. Lines were passed up the side of the ship, for hours she towed the boats toward the shore. Then the Spanish steership Salvadore Giner came in sight, and the men on the submarine cut the towline, and a few seconds later she had dived beneath the sea.

Professor Butler Will Dig For Treasure Buried in Sardis. Peekskill, N. Y.-Croesus, king of Lydia and the world's first great financier, escorted a committee of his subjects through his palace one afternoon in February, 77, and after the committee had looked at Croesus' heaps of gold one of the visitors, the first muckraker evidently, said it was wicked that any one should have so much wealth and that something was going to happen. It did. Half an hour later of the big mountain overhanging Sardis buried the city, and when the earthquake was over Croesus' wealth was buried below mining treasure. Professor Howard Butler of the department of art and archaeology in Princeton university announced that he was going over to Asia Minor very soon to resurrect the buried treasure. In 1900 Professor Butler headed an expedition to Sardis, and, though he found only bronze statues, his excavations were of great scientific worth. His decision to return was made following the message a person at his home in Croton on Herton to Smyrna, which asserted the Professor Butler's old excavations were unharmed notwithstanding war operations. HE "MINES" MUSHROOMS. Expert Uses Deserted Coal Mine as Farm With Success. Morgantown, W. Va.-The queerer the place selected for a mushroom garden the finer, it seems, is the growth of this popular table delicacy. The last word in a mushroom farm, however, is such a garden placed in the depths of a deserted coal mine. Not far from Morgantown there is located the coal mine, known as the Pittsburgh mine, in northeastern vania and West Virginia. The Theorem I. Embach, an assistant in the state agricultural experimenting station at Morgantown, obtained a permit from the owners of the property. He encamped on the first level and made chemical analysis of the rocky soil. He found it was rich in moisture and its constituents exactly those needed by edible fungi for their quickest and most abundant growth. He therefore started a research spot the spot was ideal for his purpose. This "mushroom mine" makes large shipments weekly to the city markets.

BOY SIX YEARS OLD IS MATHEMATICAL PRODIGY Child With Unusual Mental Powers Discovered In Findlay (O.) School. Findlay, O.-A child wonder, with unusual mental powers, has been discovered in the first grade West State street school by Miss Helen Gaskill, the teacher. He is Master Roy Fork, aged six, son of F. L, Fork, will driller, residing on Franklin avenue. While bright eyes and a youngster is a prodigy in mathematics. He knows the calendar by heart and, although given the most severe question with regard to days, and dates, never makes a mistake. If you tell him your age he can tell in a second the year you were born, and if you give him the date of your birthday and ask him what day of the week it comes on he replies at once, correctly and proudly. His ability cannot be attributed to mental telepathy, for in many instances he tells the day of dates in last year's calendar, which, when you look them up, you find are right. Although not customary to teach children the months and abbreviations of months, Roy had them mastered when he went to kindergarten, and the remarkable feature is that he was never taught. His lightning fast in problems which deal with addition and subtraction of the calendar, and catch questions are easily solved. LEPERS IN REVOLT.

Down at the town hall, where the destinies of Umatilla are shaped, the politicians laughed at the "rumor." It was a joke. The smiles vanished when the ballots were counted, and the destinies are wondering just how it happened. The women won't tell. They won't say whether it was "framed" at some sewing club, bridge club or church social. All they will say is: "Now we're going to show the men what a strictly business and economical administration really is." E. E. Starcher, who was running for re-election to the mayor's office, was defeated by his wife by twenty-eight efforts to interview Mrs. Starcher have failed, after a conference in the kitchen. Mrs. Starcher came to the door and gave out this statement: "As yet the women have nothing to say as to their future policy or as to why they desired control, but from the best information we are able to obtain they were dissatisfied with the past administration, claiming inefficiency and a general lack of business ability and the running of the city was concerned." Umatilla is a railroad town. All morning election day the women remained at home, busy with their daily duties. In the afternoon they put on their bonnets and began a whirlwind campaign.

Defective Page REFUSES FORTUNE LEFT BY HIS MOTHER-IN-LAW Former Diplomat Prefers That Money Should Go to His Wife. New York.—Charles H. Sherrill, minister to the mother in law when Taft was president and organizer of the great preparedness parade here, has refused to accept $100,000 bequeathed to him by his mother-in-law, Mrs. Sarah Barb Gibbs, who died last May, leaving $564,720 to Mrs. Sherrill.

Mr. Sherrill told a reporter over the telephone from his home in Sixty-fifth street that while he was deeply moved by the bequest he preferred that it should go to the residuary estate and become part of his wife's share. The former diplomat seemed to feel that it was a thing of no consequence book $100,000 in the face or faces and a cold shoulder. "It really wouldn't interest anybody," he said of his refusal. "I don't ask to discuss it; it's rather too personal for discussion. I simply felt that I'd rather have the sum go into the residuary estate and revert to Mrs. Sherrill." ALL TRANSIT LINES IN NEW YORK GREATLY TAXED City Traffic Increasing at Rate of More Than 100,000,000 New York.—In November the subway carried an average of 1,199,623 passengers a day and the "L" 1,014,883, a total of 2,214,506, according to a statement issued by the Interborough Rapid Transit company. Public Service Commissioner Whitney estimates that city traffic is increasing at the rate of more than 2,421,506 annually. More than 325 miles additionally. The subway and elevated lines are being built. In 1872 a total of 138,722,196 passengers were carried, or 147 rides during the year for each person in the city. In 1882, the first year of the "L" 250,510,832 passengers were carried, or 215 rides for each person in the city. In 1906, the first year of the subway, 836,611,200 were carried, or 298 rides for each person. Under the caption of "Struggling to Keep Up With New York" the Interborough subway the millions of New York traffic grows increasingly difficult. The struggle is hard, not to anticipate the city's future needs, but merely to keep up with the present. Extensions of transit facilities, no matter how rapid, do not seem able to keep pace with crowds and congestion. In "September the subway carried a daily average of 1,069,000 passengers. By November the average was increased to 1,109,000. "All this traffic, too it should be remembered, was on lines designed originally to care for 400,000 passengers daily. "Always it is the same story. No matter how fast rapid transit lines are built in New York city, the transportation population seem to keep ahead of them."

Washington—a legend has gone around Peking that the American legation is haunted that the shade of an officer who lost his life during the Boxer massacres of white men in 1900 is in the habit of occasionally visiting his old quarters in the legation, greatly to the discomfort of the occupants. This aroused considerable interest among the Chinese in Peking. Their own spooks, being daily or rather nightly companions, do not excite much attention. But a foreign ghost is quite a new thing. A Chinese gentleman named Hsu Nal Haihan has taken the matter seriously to heart and has felt moved to write to the American minister expressly urging the affliction which the legation is a mourning in the matter of a haunted room. He says that experience has shown in China that the way to rid a house of ghosts is to remove the roof of the building, leaving the interior of the room exposed to the sun and air for some tens of days, after which the roof may be restored and the ghost will no longer frequent the place. Mr. Hsu said that he humbly offered this suggestion, "as foreigners may not be familiar with the proper method of handling ghosts in China. The Tokyo Advertiser, is asked to appropriate a sum for the recoording of the legation at Peking the American people will now understand what it is all about. FINDS HIDDEN ROOMS IN HOUSE OF MYSTERY Carpenter Work on Old Place Reveals Apartments None Knew About. Chicago.-At 3624 Ellis Park is an old three story building that was a home when Ellis park was a woodland. For the last eight or nine years, in a remodeled form, it has been an apartment building. A few days ago a carpenter, tearing away old planking to build a porch, broke through a wall and made discoveries which made 3624 Ellis Park a house. Between the second and third floors he found a hidden apartment, of which not even John Chamates, new owner of the building, knew. Carefully Frank Wilder, the carpenter, entered through the hole he had made in the wall. He found a complete set of rooms running from the front to the rear of the building. The walls and ceiling were unfinished. There were no windows and no visible means of exit. There was a small table in one corner. There was a cupboard, with an old copper lamp. Rust covered, but with a frying pan of ancient days still on it, there was a stove. Some straw in a corner seemed to indicate where the mysterious occupant of the mystery chamber had slept. A piece of wire between two walls served as a hanger for an old coat. Over everything was a thick layer of dust. In hunting for an exit Wilder came upon a panel in the wall fastened with a hinge, two big iron hooks and a bar made of iron clamps. It opened upon the staircase and so matched the paneling that it was invisible from the outside. SAYS HE BURIED GOLD Old Man on Way to English Workhouse Tells of It. Corning, Cal.-Mrs. T. T. L.

Hair, widely known in this country and Canada as a dog expert, probably was saved from death by one of his prize pets when the automobile he was cranking shot forward and pinned him against the wall of the garage. The barking of the dog brought neighbors, who found Dr. Hair moonscruis. He was severely bruised in the abdomen, but is expected to recover. Apparently he had thought the engine neutral and had started it without setting the brake. Shot at Movie Picture. Hammond, Ind.—Patrons of the Lyric theater were thrown into a panic when he John Sebastian, a foreign shipper了 a revolver and killed the villain who was holding the jealous heroine in the movie.

Vitrimont, France. — This village, which, like its neighbor, Gerberville, was destroyed early in the war, will have the honor of being the first village reconstructed in France, and this is due to American enterprise. The foundation is already under way, the cornerstone of the first group of houses having been laid by the American ambassador, William Graves Sharp. Mrs. William H. Crocker of San Francisco, who has furnished the WILLIAM GRAVES SHARP. funds for reconstruction, was unable to be present, but was represented by Miss Dalay Polk of San Francisco, who is superintending the work. Old men and youth units for military service are being employed on the building operations. Miss Polk's task is not without difficulties such as often confront American building contractors. She has had her first strike in the last week, that of masones, who sought higher wages, but she succeeded on the basis of the cornerstone laying an event in Virtitrom. Grouped about the ruins and the foundation of the first structure were the inhabitants and soldiers on leave of absence. Leon Pobe, mayor of Virtitrom, and M. Mirman of.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 13, 1917 * "Any prejudice whatever will be insurmountable if those who do not share in it themselves truckle to it and flatter it and accept it as a law of nature." * —John Stuart MILI --- SOUTHERN REPRESENTATION The Chicago Tribune, which was a copperhead sheet during the Slaveholders' Rebellion and has since been a persistent enemy of the colored people has started a little movement to cut Southern Representation in Congress. We quote some of its editorial slush, which if carefully read, will be found to contain in itself a sufficient answer to the Tribune's punk ideas of political morality. "Nevertheless it is the duty of every American, regardless of party, to attack a condition which not only runs counter to the principles of representative government, but also is demoralizing to our political morality and the right development of our national policies. Doctrinaires and sentimentalists in the north demand the enforcement of the right of franchise of the Negro in the south. There is no such demand in the north generally, for it is recognized that political domination by the Negro is not desirable. It is realized that the premature enfranchisement of the slave was a misfortune to all concerned, however justifiable as a war measure. Intelligent opinion in the north is in harmony with intelligent opinion in the south in desiring for colored people defense from exploitation and conditions of orderly progress. Thinking men and women in both sections realize that these desiderata are retarded, not advanced, by pressure for full political privileges and the fear it keeps alive among southern white men. "But if we do not adhere to dogmas, which, by the way, is one of the weaknesses of the Jeffersonian Democracy the south helps to perpetuate, we sympathize and support the south's determination to deal with its problems as conditions, we do not wail our right to protest and if possible THE SIN OF SILENCE To sin by silence protest makes con- The human race ha test.

THE SLAVEHOLDERS' REBELLION. The national order of United Daughters of the Confederacy, recently in annual session at Dallas, Texas, passed a resolution urging upon the people of the United States that hereafter they refer to the war of secession as the "war between the states," and not as the "civil war" as has been customary. The ladies have a lot of nerve like Southerners of the male persuasion. For many years they have been telling us that the South was right and the North was wrong in the great struggle and to a great extent the North has accepted that view of the case so that nowadays there is very little respect even in the North for the Northern soldier who fought to preserve the Union. It is disgusting to any believer in real democracy to note the ascendency of the people who rebelled and sought to destroy our great Nation. The Southern people were rebels in the true sense of the term and they desired to perpetuate slavery. The proper designation for the great struggle from 1861 to 1865 is the SLAVEHOLDERS' REBELLION. That is what the APPEAL has called it in the past and we shall continue to call it by that name. TUSKEGEE ON LYNCHING A number of Northern newspapers are publishing Tuskegee reports of the lynching of 54 American citizens in 1916, commenting thereon, and congratulating the country that there were fewer cases than in 1915. Tuskegee has for several years reported a smaller number of lynchings than other observers have been able to record. Reliable and accurate reports show that 80 colored people alone and a few whites were mob-murdered in 1916. Five of the colored people were women and one was a child. Another hellish fact was the roasting to death of five colored persons. The Tuskegee reports are in line with the Tuskegee policy of minimizing the injustices, outrages and crimes of the Caucasians of the South against the colored people. Inaccurate reports do more harm than good and the Tuskegee people ought to present accurate data or cut out their lynching bullets. JIM-CROWING CHRIST The commission which is to put the final touches on the plan to unite the various branches of Methodists with Christ left out convened in Baltimore this week. The place of meeting is appropriate for formulating any infamous scheme which will make the color line a perpetual part of Methodism. Certain things are already determined although the commission is presumed to deliberate over questions presented. This is to some extent so because the two colored members of the commission are jim-crowists at heart and are willing to swallow any discrimination provided they can get a little cheap glory and be called "good Negrees." The Methodist commission will write some disgraceful pages into the history of the so-called Church of God. There is a bill before Congress that has for its object the exclusion from the United States mails of newspapers or any sort of printed matter adver- THE MAN W I honor the man entious discharge or stand alone; the w intolerant judgment the countenances o I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends.—Charles Sumner. once when we should awards out of men. has climbed on pro- been raised against me and lust, the in- serve the law, and our least disputes. we must speak and right the wrongs of her Wilcox. tising liquors of any kind. This certainly is a step toward the muzzling of the press to which we very much object. It affects the rights and liberties of the newspapers fully as much as it does those who deal in liquors. It does not apply solely to dry states or dry territory but is general. It seems to us that the passage of the bill in question would work to the detriment of the "freedom of the press" which is generally conceded to be very desirable. The bill should not pass. "HIGH PRICES AND SUICIDE." Last week the Associated Press dispatches told a sad case of suicide of a Chicago mother who determined that it was cheaper to die than to live. Her husband was earning $12 per week, but it was not enough. She wrote a note before turning on the gas that sent her soul to the great beyond in which she said: "This is what it takes a week—$4 rent, $2 lunch and car fare; that leaves $5 a week for light, fuel, food, clothing, medicine and incidentals for husband, children and myself. God help the poor." This case seemed to be peculiarly pathetic and according to our observations indicated a wide spread feeling among the poor class of people. The same trend of thought seems to have been indulged in by the St. Paul Pioneer Press, the result of which was the appearance under the above caption of the following: "Responsibility for the increasing number of suicides in New York City is placed upon the high cost of living by Israel Feinberg, president of Gotham's board of coroners. The coroner also says he traced many deaths from lack of proper nourishment to the mounting prices of food-stuffs and contends the suicides are alarming in their increased frequency. "There is no reason to doubt the statement of Coroner Feinberg, for statistics from every civilized country in the world show that periods of financial depression are almost invariably accompanied by increased crime, suicide and divorce and followed by fewer marriages and a declining birth rate. In 1893 there were only 803 more marriages in the United States than there were the preceding year, although the five years preceding 1893 showed a yearly increase in the number of marriages running from 11,080 to 26,027; and in 1894, the year after the panic, the marriages actually decreased to the extent of 12,512; while the suicide rate in 1908, the year after the financial panic of 1907, was 21.6 per 100,000 persons, the highest average ever recorded in this country. "That this is popularly known as a period of prosperity rather than depression does not invalidate the conclusions of Coroner Feinberg, for in most cases the cost of living has so far outstriped any advances in wages that hundreds of thousands of persons relatively are much poorer than they were under normal conditions before the war." LET THE CONSTITUTION LET THE CONSTITUTION ALONE Wind Jammer Bryan, elated with the undeserved success of the Democrats in the recent national election, is asking a little too much of his party. In a speech at a dinner recently given in his honor at Washington he urged the adoption of nation-wide prohibition and woman suffrage which is a little more than the average Democrat can stand for. He also advocated the passage of an amendment for the WHO DARES who in the consi- of his duty dares to world, with ignorant, nt, may condemn, f relatives may be election of the President by direct popular vote and to amend the constitution so as to make that instrument more easily amendable. This latter suggestion would undoubtedly meet their hearty approval as the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the constitution have been wormwood and gall that they would like very much to get rid of and in their place put something that would further outrage and crush the colored people. We have, got to stand the Democratic administration for the next four years but we most sincerely hope that after that this beautiful land of ours will not be cursed by their domination any longer. AS OTHERS SEE US "O, wad some power the gifty gie' us, to se ourselure as itthers see us." Bobby Burns was, what we would call now-a-days, a "wise guy." We Americans think we are the "whole show," but are we? Sir Rabindranath Tagore, the famous East Indian poet, winner of the Nobel Prize for literature, doesn't think we are, and recently criticized us most unmercifully. He said we are building ugly cities, are too self-assured, are nationally conceived and are forgetting the fine simplicity of life in our mad rush for money, and we must admit that he is about right. He says, there is more to life than just making money. Life calls for leisure not machine-made days of money-mad activities. "You hurry so you forget that life at its best is just simplicity, taking time to get the things that money can never buy. "Like a popcorn wagon are your modern ideas of life. Everything is popping and bursting in different directions, no peace, no poise anywhere." COL. F. A. DENISON HONORED. Commander of Eighth Illinois Regiment Named as Assistant Attorney-General of the State. SPECIAL TO THE APPEAL. Chicago, Jan. 12—Attorney-General Edward J. Brundage of Illinois has appointed Colonel Franklin A. Denison as assistant attorney-general. Col. Denison is a resident of Chicago and commander of the Eighth Illinois, the cracked regiment. Col.

New York.-America's 1916 Christmas ship for the relief of unfortunate victims of the war will leave New York Dec. 1. The American Red Cross is co-operating with the American committee for Armenian and Syrian relief in collecting foodstuffs and clothing to be sent to Syria on a government collier placed at the center of the committee by Secretary Daniels. The collection of the Christmas ship cargo is in the hands of Albert W. Staub of the American Red Cross receiving and distributing station at Bush terminal, Brooklyn, Mr. Staub received equities of old clothing, unavailable for the cargo, as military regulations preclude the shipment of second hand clothing in this cargo. He said, "It must be emphasized that the only clothing America can send to the unfortunate ones in Turkey must be new and must be of the same color as the Cross, Bush terminal, Brooklyn." Mr. Staub sent the following letter from the war relief information and shipping office: "It is more than significant that the first letter to go out from the newly organized Red Cross war relief information is the Christmas ship. It is doubly significant that it is to take relief to a people living so near the Holy Land." Mike Hickey, once a notorious pick-pocket, with a record of nineteen and a half years behind prison bars, told 400 men at the Harlem branch Y. M. C. A., New York, how he straightened out and how other inhabitants of the underworld could be helped to do the same. Mike's career as a thief lasted until about four years ago, when he wandered, fresh from Sing Sing, into the Cremorne mission, on Thirty-second street. It ended there. Now he is eight man at the Bowery Y. M. C. A. and passes his spare time helping his old pals from Danaemora and Sing Sing to get their feet on the "straight and arrow." The trouble with the newly emerged convict, he said, was the old story—out into the world with a $10 bill and to keep straight; a job until a cop no more job; brother; one more trick to get money to eat; caught, and back to prison. What the convict needs is a bit of belief and encouragement, when he starts to reform, said Hickey, adding that more and more the employers are making men with long records as criminal men now taking their places in honest life. MOSQUITOES CLOSE MILLS. Pest of Insects Compuls Plants to Shut Down. Connell, Tex.-The gulf coast region of east Texas and the western part of Louisiana have been afflicted with the worst scourge of mosquitoes ever known. Several large lumber mills were forced to close down on account of the pest. Men and animals were tortured by the bites of the insects. Cattle and horses were attacked by veritable hordes of mosquitoes, and the animals huddled together in groups in an effort to protect themselves as much as possible from the bites. On the power of these fires were kept burning constantly to drive away the pests, but these efforts seemed to be of little avail. HONOR SCHOOL JANITOR. Veteran Held That Post In the Building For Years. Indianapolis. Ind.-Shortridge high school of this city each year renders tribute to the memory of some man or woman who has helped in the upbuilding of this city. This year the alumni, after discussing the names of several men who had risen to a place of high esteem in the world, chose to honor James Biddy, for twenty-five years jonitor of the institution. A tablet recounting his faithful imbuement in telling of the sheer imparted to "his boys and girls" during a quarter of a century has been placed in a conspicuous place in the halls. Onion and Cracker Diet. Kankakee, ill.—With property vaulted at $25,000, but with no appetite except when his wife buys the food, at which times he eats "copiously," Ira Palmer, eighty-three years old, maintains that "an onion and a cracker" are enough for any one at a meal, according to the allegations made in a bill for separate maintenance by his wife, Dora. She says that for his comfort she trimmed his beard and cut his hair. Killed Himself Running. Bremerton, Wash.—Because Wesley Antony, fifty-years old, did not want to be late for work recently he ran seven miles around the shores of Puget Sound. When he arrived at the airport he was surrounded by moments later in the Marine hospital. Bryan on "Brotherhood." "The white man in the South has distranchised the Negro in self-protection; and there is not a Republican in the North who would not have done the same thing under the same circumstances. The white men of the South are determined that the Negro will and shall be distranchised everywhere it is necessary to prevent the recurrence of the horrors of captapagar rule."—William Jennings Bryan in speech at New York in 1908. MAY FLY TO PARIS Transatlantic - Aeroplane Line Is Possible, Says Woodhouse. Great Britain is Spending $250,000,000 In Military Aeronautics This Year—In Half a Dozen Countries Number of Aviators Ranges Between 2,000 and 10,000. New York.—"A transatlantic aeroplane line is now quite possible owing to improved motors," Henry Woodhouse, member of the board of governors of the Aero club, told 250 members of the Rotary club here. Their appearance of things in aeronautics, he said, "has been changed. Nowadays the motor can outlast the aviator. Aeroplanes equipped with from two to six motors and carrying up to thirty people can be built for commercial purposes. The largest aeroplane at present has a carrying capacity of fifteen tons, but plans are ready for an aeroplane capable of lifting thirty tons. American aeroplanes and motors are so efficient that a flight of over a thousand miles a day is possible. "There are 25,000 aeroplanes in use in the world, and the reason why there are so many is that they cannot be supplied fast enough to replicate what they are out of action or worm out." "Great Britain is spending $25,000,000 in military aerosiances this year. Five hundred thousand people are producing and operating air craft and aeronautic supplies. The American aeronautic industry has orders and pending contracts amounting to $30,000,000. "In half a dozen countries the number of aviators ranges between 2,000 and 10,000. The United States army and navy have together about a hundred thousand of observation balloons and hundreds of dirigibles. The United States army and navy together have only four observation balloons ordered and one small dirigible." ```markdown ``` MAN FIGHTS JELLYFISH. Swimmer Sent to a Hospital After a Life and Death Struggle. Santa Barbara, Cal.-G. H. Wilson was sent to the Cottage hospital here in a critical condition recently. He had a life and death struggle with a jellyfish. Four hundred feet from a shore, off Serena, Wilson was suddenly attacked. He saw before him what he later said looked like a huge sheet of butter and eggs. Suddenly the strips of yellow and white began to separate from the mass and extend toward him. He returned to swim out of reach when the creature threw its tentacles about him, and the mad fight was on. In the moment, the broken bottle the mass into fragments, touched the shore exhausted and his face and shoulders stinging as though from scabs. At the hospital it was said that the patient would recover. His pain at times was so intense that morphine had to be administered. His shoulders and face resemble one mass of poison oak burns. HE'S A GIANT SUPERMAN. Never Used Meat, Pepper, Alcohol, Tea, Tobacco—Still Single. Clinton, Mo.-Dusty and travel worn, but with his long strides retaining the vigor of all his eighteen years of backwoods life. Clarence Barton trudged into town after covering 130 miles from Turner, Mo. He came in the heat and dust over the miles of hills afloat to attend the Missouri conferences of the Seventh Day Adventists. And this youth has lived a strange life in the very modern and up to date state of Missouri. In all his eighteen years he never tasted a mouth of meat. Never has a drink of tea or coffee passed his lips. His meager fare of daily food has never been seasoned with pepper. He never has tasted a drop of alcohol in any form and does not know the tang of tobacco smoke. And he is a perfect specimen—a young backwoods giant. Barton excelled in all the sports of the camp. SHAD SIGN OF MILD WINTER Caught In Lower Hudson For First Time In Thirty Years. Dobbs Ferry, N. Y.-Shad were caught in the Hudson river for the first time in thirty years at this season of the year. The fishing experts say that it is an infallible sign of an open winter. Lange, a professional fisherman, caught a shad he had set in the running tide water, striped bass. Lavinas D. Hill, a recognized authority on fishing, said that shad usually went south to warmer waters in the fall, and when caught in Hudson thirty years ago the weather so mild that the river was open for navigation all through the winter. Busy Man Offers $1,000 For Wife. New York.—Too busy to play the role of sutor himself, Albert F. Shore, a business man, has commissioned a friend to find him a wife. If the friend succeeds before Christmas in discovering a girl about twenty-four years old, either blond or brunette, but studious and not a social butterfly, he will receive $1,000. And if he has not succeeded at that time then any person may earn the $1,000 by producing a suitable bride. Shore is thirty-four years old. He is of medium height, dark complexion and dark curly hair. He Is A Real Man. (From the Pioneer-Press, Martinsburgh, W. Va.) Editor W. P.

Mrs. Donald Brady entertained at a very dainty luncheon on Saturday afternoon, in honor of her birthday. Those present were the Misses Hattie Oliver, Lucille James, Clara Howard, Mildred Plummer and Mrs. Hattie Cage. Mrs. Brady was the recipient of many beautiful gifts. Mayor Van Lear seems to be carrying out his ideas of a live and let live policy. He intends to give the "man and brother" a fair, square show for his "white alley" if indications point in the right direction. It is said that he will appoint two well known and competent colored men on the detective force. "The Eat Shop." 403 Fifth avenue S. formerly operated by Mr. and Mrs. R.L. DeLeo, has changed hands, and the name has been changed to BELL RESTAURANT. Hantz & Bothwell, proprietors.

Scott, Chicago, Ill., sister of Mrs. Katherine Nelson, 216 West 31st street, visited the city during the holidays and was the guest of Mrs. Katherine Nelson and Sergt. and Mrs. Z. A. Pope. After her arrival into the city, plans were made for her social entertainment. Twin Chies and Anoka at parties, theatres and numerous dinners.

The Coming Young Poet of the Twin Cities. Mr. J. Hazel Donaldson, the poet, who has resided for some time in our sister city, has recently taken up his abode in St. Paul, and Minneapolis' loss is our gain. Mr. Donaldson has done some very creditable work in his line, and as a specimen we take great pleasure in following, dedicated to the Minneapolis correspondent of THE APRAIL: Youthful maid:—thy joys are plenty. May thy years be many more. Thou art now, just four and twenty. Thy very soul is young and pure. Golden years hath made the beautiful. To stand the test among all creeds. Thy Womanly thoughts doth make thee dutiful. Thy noble works shall bring great deeds. The smiles of beauty upon thy face, Are true to life in tender youth, A noble, stern and higher place May's thou claim, in love and truth. Onward thou! in life's vocation. Behold thy goal in after years Unfurl thy stern to every nation Hurrah! alas thou hath brought cheers. May thy happiness come through love Like the nightfall of dew, With Heaven's blessings from above, I greet thee thus, most fond and true. —J. Hazel Donaldson.

PA The Big Attraction From the New York Hippodrome at the Auditorium Week Beginning Monday, Jan. 15. "Hip, Hip, Hooray," the huge spectacle that played all last season at the New York Hippodrome, is coming to the Twin Cities shortly. It will be presented at the Auditorium, St. Paul, which is one of the seven theatres in as many cities in the United States large enough to house this remarkable organization. The engagement will be for seven nights and six matinees, beginning Monday night, January 15th. Charles Dillingham's plan is to reproduce exactly the great pageant, which broke all records at the big playhouse in New York last season. All the great stars and all the brilliant features have been retained. The remarkable organization, which is the largest that has ever toured in America, is headed by John Philip Sousa, the noted bandmaster and marching bandman; and marching band will be in the gorgeous "Pulse" of States. The production will include the marvelous Charlotte, the greatest skater in all the world, together with the other imported ice skaters in "Flirting at St. Mortiz," a feature which last season was credited with starting the skating craze in America; Nat M. Wills, the famous comedian; Charles T. Aldrich, the comedy magician; Harry Westford, Beth Smalley, Albert Froome, William G. Stewart and the others of the original cast, together with the Bogannans, the Amaranths, Lamy Bros., Mallia & Bart, the bagpipe smashes, and all the other European native specialties, not forgetting the baby elephant, "Chin Chin," and the elephant's The ensemble will consist of four hundred, mostly pretty girls, and the organization in its entirety will be the most pretentious that any theatrical producer has tried to take on tour in the world. Mr. Dillingham's enterance will be watched with interest by the entire country. It will be under the local management of L. N. Scott. The sale of seats (50c to $2.00) are now open at W. J. Dyer & Bros. Music Store, St. Paul, and the Cable Piano Co., Minneapolis. Mail orders accompanied by check or postal order and stamped envelope will be accepted, and mail should be addressed to L. N. Scott, manager, in care of either of the above addresses. Some folks seem to think that if they leave envelopes unsealed they may enclose written matter and one cent postage will be sufficient. But not so, any written matter sent through the mails, must be paid for at the rate of two cents per ounce or less, whether the envelope is sealed or not. LADIES WISHING ANY OF MME. C. J.
