Elsewhere on this page will be found an article from Boston in regard to the coming Race Congress which unquestionably is a needed movement and it is hoped that the people of the Twin Cities will get together and arrange to send representatives to the same. There is very little time to work, so let's get at it NOW. Let us hear from our citizens in regard to the matter at once. WARNS AGAINST RACIAL HATRED. WARNS AGAINST RACIAL HATRED. It is so unusual for a Christian minister to preach against racial hatred that THE APPEAL is pleased to note that one minister has the courage of his convictions. In his sermon last Sunday, Rev. H. E. Peabody, pastor of the South Congregational Church, in Chicago, said that racial hatred within the United States is more dangerous than all Germans outside this country. Dr. Peabody likened the East St. Louis massacre to the "atrocities of the unspeakable Turk in Armenia." "The country's perils are not all on the sea and beyond," said Dr. Peabody. "Think of the moral earthquake and volcano that has burst in the midst of the land, in our own state, since last we met. "Who would have believed that a massacre that reminds one of St. Bartholomew's night and of the atrocities of the unspeakable Turk in Armenia, could occur among our own fellow-citizens in East St. Louis? "But, beware! The peril is nearer than that. The mutterings of the volcano are felt in Chicago. The single explosion is not the most significant thing. The race prejudice, contempt and hatred, working—working beneath—these are the hell below—and they find some lodgment in all our hearts; God help us. "There is far more danger to the republic from race hatred within our borders than from all the Germans put together. "Christian citizens of Chicago, think THE MAN WHO DARES I honor the man entious discharge o stand alone; the w intolerant judgment the countenances o averted, and the he cold, but the sense be sweeter than the world, the counten the hearts of friend 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. this thing through. Try to make up your mind beforehand what you will do and say when the earthquake and the volcano shall be around you. Our country is in dire need of clear heads and stout hearts—Christian hearts, both within and without." FAILURE TO FIGHT COSTLY That strong defender of true Americanism, the Cleveland Gazette, edited by Hon. Harry C. Smith, a man of whom all Americans may well be proud printed an editorial in a recent issue which is so accurate an exposition of the costly blunder the colored people have made in failing to fight for their rights that we reproduce it. We trust that every reader will read it carefully and ponder over the truths expressed. "It has not been so very many years since the adoption of the war amendments to the Constitution and the beginning of a systematic effort on the part of our enemies to nullify the effect they were expected to have and its subsequent good. Since these efforts at restriction began, they have grown and multiplied rapidly and much of it has been due to our refusal to fight the issues raised with all our resources, before they became operative. In the South disfranchising constitutions have come, separate or "jim-crow" railroad and street cars, "peanut" galleries in theaters for our men and women, separate bars in saloons, "jim-crow" city parks, swimming pools, schools, "jim-crowism" indental offices, churches, Y. M. C. A.'s, etc. Indeed, there is apparently a desire for a segregation of the races in Heaven, if some of them ever get there. These things have all crept upon us since emancipation and the elevation to a citizenship supposed to be equal to that of all other Americans. We have lost ground, South and North, because we have not fought, and when we have resisted, have lacked leadership, while other supposed leaders have played into the hands of our enemies. As a race, we have been bursaed, abused and humiliated by the thoughtless (some, members of the race), as well as by those hostile to our interests, simply because there was lacking proper resentment on our parr and a determination to take a stand for our rights with all the power at our command. The world loves a MAN, a fighter! on who thinks as much of himself as any other like creature on earth. To such aggressive MEN, unjust restrictions will in the end yield and break down, because they will ever refuse to recognize them. In cases of luxuries of life such MEN will not accept the limitations though they greatly desire them and have the price demanded. In the case of necessities, they will fight restrictions and limit, as far as is within their power, the demand for them. A MAN CAN BE FREE IN A FREE COUNTRY ONLY WHEN HE RETAINS THE RESPECT OF HIS FELLOW CITIZENS TO THE EXTENT HE RECEIVES THE SAME TREATMENT FROM THEM THEY EXPECT FROM HIM!" THE ONLY SOLUTION. Recently at the Church of England Congress at Southampton, Sir Sidney Olivier, who was governor of Jamaica from 1907 to the end of 1912, put forward the claim that no solution of the American color question was possible except by a resolute disclaimer of the color line and the race differention theory. "HUMAN NATURE My ear is My soul is sick with ev Of wrong and outrage, There is no flesh in man It does not feel for man Of brotherhood is severe That falls asunder at the He finds his fellow guil Not colored like his ove To enforce the wrong, "HUMAN NATURE'S FOULEST BLOT." My soul is sick with every day's report Of wrong and outrage, with which earth is filled. There is no flesh in man's obdurate heart. It does not feel for man: the natural bond Of brotherhood is severed as the flax That falls asunder at the touch of fire. He finds his fellow guilty of a skin Not colored like his own: and having power To enforce the wrong, for such a worthy cause Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey. Thus man devotes his brother, and destroys: 'Tis human nature's broadest foulest blot. who in the consci- of his duty dares to world, with ignorant, ant, may condemn, of relatives may be hearts of friends grow of duty done shall be applause of theances of relatives or s.—Charles Sumner. Sir Sidney Olivier certainly knows what he is talking about. In the island of Jamaica, where he was governor for five years, there are about 800,000 colored people and only 20,000 whites and yet there is absolutely no friction between the races. Jamaica is a British colony and the government is just. Colored men enjoy every civil and political right which white men have and there is no color line. Among, other things Sir Sidney said: "My study and comparison of conditions in the United States and the West Indies," he said, "has brought me to that conclusion. American and colonial politicians and public men are not Exeter Hall abolitionists nor evangelical Christian missionaries. I do not expect them to adopt the methods of missionaries, nor do I sympathize with all their programmes. But it cannot be ignored that it happened that the faiths of the men who laid the foundations for the peaceful development of the mixed community in Jamaica were democratic and humanitarian and, above all, uncompromisingly Christian. "Were race differentiation held to it must increase civil discord. When the balance of numbers is as it is in the South in America it must tend to foster obscure preparations for civil war and rebellion. If statesmen and citizens face in the contrary direction I do not say that they will attain immediately civil peace, but I am confident that they will be traveling the only road toward it. "I do not suggest that race does not greatly affect facilities for combination between humans in healthy national life, but race difference is only one of many schismatic agencies. The solution of the difficulty involves discipline for the white man as well as the black." Jews who are fighting from England urged the abandonment of title "Jewish Regiment." The committee composed of prominent Hebrews pleaded that the 40,000 Jews now serving in the army were fighting not as Jewish but as British subjects. Lord Derby at once agreed to abandon the title. The title colored regiment ought to be abandoned in the U. S. Army. Let colored men fight as Americans. The Chicago Y. M. C. A. will send a lot of picked men to try "to re-establish morale in Russia." We wonder if they will use the jim crow system in use in Chicago and organize segregated Y. M. C. A.'s for each of the hundred and odd nationalities which compose Russia? Several thousand Georgia colored men will be assigned to loading transports for France. They will be under the command of W. G. Austin, former chief of police of Savannah, Ga. Ex-President Taft is being talked of as president of Hampton Institute to succeed the late H. B. Frissell. Taft has too much race prejudice to be at the head of such an institution. A colored man, P. W. Howard, has been elected member of the Republican National Committee to fill the vacancy caused by the death of L. B. Moseley. Colored men are eager to join the Navy and risk their lives in defense of their country but they are not allowed to enlist except as mess attendants.

Experts at Washington see the end of war within a year, so 'tis said, and it certainly is a consummation most devoutly to be wished for. COLORED TROOPS. At Each Cantonment of New National Army. Washington, September, 1917.—The order issued by the War Department provides every cantonment there shall be one ordered infantry regiment where sufficient personnel is available. Protests have been made against quartering colored troops in certain parts of the South, but no modification has been made. EIGHTH GETS PATRIOTIC FAREWELL. Illinois Crack Colored Regiment Cheered to the Echo. Chicago, Sept. 2. — Chicago last night 20,000 strong bade farewell to the Eighth Infantry. It was the biggest ovation given any local regiment about to start to the South. Chief Justice Orrin N. Carter of the Illinois Supreme Court recited the history of Philadelphia's closed institution and expressed his conviction that men again would prove their loyalty and patriotism. He was cheered several minutes. MANY CLAIMS AFTERMATH OR RACE RIOTING. East St. Louis, Ill., September 7.—Claims aggregating 50,000 have been filed against the city of East St. Louis for personal damages and for destruction of personal property as a result of the recent race riots here. More than thirty claims have been filed over loss of life and many colored people have been charged for destruction of personal property. Damages have been asked for more than 1,000 chickens, killed or missing. Jesse Carter, a colored man, put in a claim for $25 which he said was taken from him by an Illinois guardman. The city council will decide whether to show the claims or to allow the city to be sued. The law provides that the city shall pay for all lives lost and three-fourths of the value of property destroyed. LET EUROPE BEWARE. Some Day Africans Will Have Steam Engines and Machine Guns of Their Own." (From the Christian Register.) Nearly all of Africa has been cut up into spheres of influence, and the Great Powers of Europe that are now attempting to destroy each other will soon be at odds over what are known as their colonial possessions. It is incredible that the tribes and nations of Africa will always be denied the right of choice as to their political and social relations with the masterful nations that have ruled them. Will the European governments allow Africans to say who shall be their masters? If they fellow-workers their minds? If they fellow-workers their date freedom must be decreed for Africa. Because he had steam-engines and machine-guns, Kitchener could mow down the natives by the thousand and then establish a university at Karthoum. But some day Africans will have steam-engines and machine-guns of their own. Then let Europe beware. WIDE-SPREAD INTEREST IN NATIONAL RACE CONGRESS. WIDE-SPREAD INTEREST IN NATIONAL RACE CONGRESS. Colored Americans "Brought to Their Feet" by Memphis, E. St. Louis, and Chester Outrages—Local Equal Rights Committees Being Formed. Boston, Mass., August 29, 1917.—That the colored people of the country have been brought the flesh by Memphis, Mishawaka, St. Louis massacre and Chester riots, is shown by the instant interest taken in the call issued for a "speedy getting together" at New York by Rev. Pyron Gunner, president of the National Equal Rights League. Already President Gunner has received word from representatives in a dozen different states who will attend the 10th annual meeting of the league and 2nd Annual Race Congress under the league's auspices, which will be held three days, September 18, 19 and 20, in Mother Zion church, W. 136th street, New York City. Colored newspapers all over the country are announcing this National Colored Equal Rights Convention in their columns, and the editors are working with success for the formation of local "Equal Rights Committees" that are to send delegates. The "Call" has been given such wide publicity, the invitation being open to every organization as well as the Equal Rights League, the oppressed in every country in the civilized world have met as a group and put forth their case and their demand, except we colored Americans, thoughtful citizens everywhere see that the race will be judged by the attendance at this National Race Congress. Every community that has not already formed a Citizens' Equal Rights Committee to send delegates is urged to do so. Three full weeks remain in which to do so. The National Race Congress brought men and women of all factions and all organizations together and increased co-operation. It is ten times as critical now for the race as then. Pres. Byron Gunner, of Hillburn, N. Y., and Corr. Secretary W. Monroe, of 34 Cornhill, Boston, are receiving many awards. He answers, and will answer all inquiries. The Following Article is Taken From The Cleveland Gazette, ane is Only One of Many Such That Have Appeared From the Trenchant Pen of Rev. William A. Byrd—Read and Ponder. The Eternal Gospel (From the Martinsville Pioneer-Press) We have no respect for a servile, cringing colored man. He is of more service to his people under the sod than on top of it—Richmond (Va) Planet. That is our eternal gospel, preach it in the valleys and on the mountain tons.

Had no voice in injustice, ignorance quisition yet would guillotines decide on The few who dare speak again to right many.—Ella Wheeler To sin by silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many.—Ella Wheeler Wilcox. Worse to Ask for Jim Crow. (From the Cleveland Gazette.) We agree with the editor of the N. Y. News. It is bad enough to have segregated (or "jiffy" enough) military training camps FORCED on us by the government, but infinitely worse to ASK for them. "Negroes and Dogs Not Allowed" (From the Nashville Clarion) Down in Houston, Texas are some elevators in public buildings labeled "NEGROES AND DOGS NOT ALLOWED." Generous Classification! Such signs as these account in such measure, for the exceedingly rapid manner in which the Colored men are depopulating the South. They can be neither blamed nor censured for leaving a town like this. They have hearts and souls and human pride, just like the people of other races. Must Have a Place in School Our naval training camp has every nationality under the sun. As a red flag to flout into the face of the bull, we have Chinamen out there, the Filipino out there, the Greek out there, the Hebrew out there, the Italian out there, and God himself only knows what else out there, but we do know that we are near the bathroom with a mop and broom. Space must be made for the boy of the Colored race in the school for which we are paying taxes. The Cause of Migration (Atlanta (Ga ) Independent) When meat was 15c a pound and flour $8.00 a barrel, the colored laborer received from $4.00 to $8.00 a week. Now meat is 30c a pound and flour $16.00 a barrel, he is receiving the same wages. He cannot live at this and the white man cannot expect him to remain in the South and live on the starvation wages he is paying him when the fields and the factories in the North and West are offering him living wages. If the white man will impress lynching and lawlessness in the South, he the colored man living wages, give him a deal on the farms, better schools open the doors of the shops and factories to his prowess, and let him in the labor unions, municipal ordinances (to keep colored men from leaving the South) will be unnecessary. 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 disfranchising him; and it is an excuse for lynching him. Only one of one per cent of the colored people has the same trace their descent to Africa, and there is more right to call all colored 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 (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 many persons who live in the South, and think they have the colored race, with others who have had no contact, but who have come to the South and sympathetic relations with large 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 aspirations among them that the others do not know, or, knowing, do not enter into and appreciate; they know the best of the newly formed others are oblivious of; they know possibilities which only respect and sympathy out; they know possibilities to which others by their very acquaintance are blinded. If those who know the colored race through the mass and by observation merely could know what individual possibilities are demonstrated in growing numbers of the people would be courageously candid with themselves, they would revise their judgements, and possibly their prejudices. If they ought to credit to those or who they charge ignorance of the colored race the values that come from knowing how many of that race are the GOD GIVE US MEN. God give us men!

No estimate is worth much, which does not take people at their best. OUR NEED OF JUXTAPOSITION (From the Boston University (From the Boston Guardian.) That we much rather be, and associate ourselves, is a saying by Colorado Americans that has become almost trite. That is a mistake; it is a feeling of awkwardness and insecurity and inferiority. It and its possibility for the two races to subscribe to a common government, and at the same time, each race works on its own salvation. The "theory" has been tried and resulted in a great failure; instead of making for harmony and cordial good feeling between two races, it has increase race hatred and antagonism in leaps and bounds. We have heeded too long the fear from false and treacherous leadership at resistance wrong, that it only causes race hatred and antagonism; that the need for us to do is to get property and other rights will inevitably follow. We have followed this "advice" fully and have been rewarded in terms of residence segregation, street segregation, confiscation and loss of property, anti-intermarriage—which is all of the blackest pieces of legislation, since that it leaves our women defenseless and at the mercy of white brutes—separate schools, jimcrow and even legislating to exclude further and more women from non-resistance. These are the evils resulting from non-resistance" and "rather be by ourselves." That with the same degree of affection and terrible legislation with which our property is taken and confiscated, with this same effort and legislation will our political and manhood rights be taken from us. That is a fact. Every congress of fers legislation degrading and imminent to our well being. Race prejudice therefore, can only be worn down by attire; we must send our children, and go ourselves to mixed institutions and other institutions we mix with other races and 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—the starry height and depth—of the human spirit that wavers and glows through us all—Wagner and Shakespeare, Tolstoi and Mollerie. Though the cathedrals quarrel together and sing praises with sleeve-guns to their own little foolish national souls, and rain bombs on each other's naves, I take my stand by the great bells ringing in their bow by the souls 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. Agreed to Be "Set Aaide." (From the Eagle, Washington, D. C.) No. the delegates to the E. M. General Conference, held at Saratoga Springs, N. Y., recently, did not "walk out." They simply assented to arrangements to be "set aside"—to be segregated into a colored general membership and the presided over by a white bishop, being the private of directing their on the Master's vineyard. Two years from now the two wings of the M. E. church, North and South, will unite and the separation of the colored membership and the refusal of bishopic honors to the 350,000 colored communicants are designed to clear the approach "love feast." There is verity in that, in its primal manifestation, the church is a social organization with religion as a by-product. Not Worthy of Freedom (from the Richmond Planet.) When a race or an individual submits uncompromisingly to oppression, it is a practical demonstration that the race or the individual is not worthy of freedom. like this demands true faith and ready hands; does not kill; e cannot buy; d a will; who will not lie; demagogue batteries without winking! live above the fog thinking. —J.

The hearing before the Governor in the matter of the extradition of Albert A. Harris, charged with the larceny of an automobile from Mattie Ford in Chicago, was had Thursday, and despite the efforts of his attorney, W. Francis, Esq., the extradition was granted. Mattie Ford claims that the bill of sale which Harris had was secured by fraud. Harris insisted that there was no fraud but that the machine was a gift. The Attorney General said the issue thus raised was a question of fact, and while he did not believe Harris could be convicted, it was not a matter for the Governor, but a jury to decide. Harris was returned to Chicago yesterday to stand trial. Pioneer Lodge No. 1. F. and A. M. Elects Officers. At a recent meeting of Pioneer Lodge No. 1. F, and A. M., Fred D.

CHRIANSE, Mgr DAY OF PRAYER FOR SCHOOLS TO HAVE OBSERVANCE HERE Local Clergy Co-operate in Movement Suggested by National Reform Association---All Denominations Urged to Active Interest in Nation Wide Observance in Churches and Homes Sept. 9. THE second Sabbath in September has for years been observed as a Day of Prayer for public and private schools. Among people 1 Day of Prayer for public and private schools. Among people of all evangelical denominations the observance has become quite extensive, if not general. There are more than usual reasons this year why the day should be even more widely observed, and local ministers who have indorsed the idea and who will deliver appropriate sermons on that day urge the co-operation of all people in this unselfish Christian and patriotic effort to intensify and extend the observance. Prayers will be offered in thousands of churches and homes for the children and youth of America who are being fitted for usefulness and citizenship in the schools, for the teachers and for the work of the schools generally. Many ministers of all shades of belief, located in all corners of the country, will speak on some phase of the important relation between morality and education. America is justly proud of her school system. It has been called "the most American thing in America." This year the school is in danger as never before. It is especially urgent that the Americans of tomorrow shall have the prayers and thoughts of patriots. The educational system is being shaken by war. Teachers of higher and lower grades have responded to the call of the flag. Boys are at work on farms and in factories who should normally be in school. Demands are being made for a laxity in the enforcement of laws of compulsory education and a change in child labor laws during the war. Several states have already amended their laws to allow children to work during the progress of the war. England made this mistake. Thousands of English children were allowed to leave school who were only eleven and twelve years of age. England has awakened. We must not imitate it. Democracy cannot succeed without an educated electorate. literacy is the enemy of republican government. The founders of America knew this and sought to offer every child an equal chance. But mere education is not enough. P. P. Claxton, United States Commissioner of Education, at the recent meeting of the National Educational association said: "The greatest deficiency in American education today is in the moral and religious elements. The great war has destroyed our faith in German secular education. Let us repent of Culture and teach sound spiritual life." The recognition of the danger to our children from war conditions and of the need of moral training is leading to a wider observance and a broader understanding of the Day of Prayer for schools than at any time since it was first suggested, fifteen years ago, by Dr James S. Martin, superintendent of the National Reform Association, Pittsburgh, Pa. It is realized that the year's work cannot be better begun than by praying for the children and youth and considering their moral as well as their intellectual needs. Methods of adequately meeting these needs will be further considered by the leading educators of the world at the Third World's Christian Citizenship Conference which is to meet in Pittsburgh in July, 1918.

VAN HOOK FASHIONABLE DRESSMAKING AND LADIES' TAILORING PARTY GOWNS A SPECIALTY 1006 SIXTH AVENUE NORTH MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. For the information of those who may desire to know of the conditions facing the telephone industry at this time, the following statement is issued by the Northwestern Telephone Exchange Company. Since the very beginning of the war, the government's requests for telephone equipment have had precedence over private requirements and government telephone calls have had the right-of-way over all private messages. At an expense—in the aggregate hundreds of thousands of dollars—comprehensive telephone systems have been provided for training camps, and lines of communication have been installed between military AMERICAN TELEPHONE & TELEGRAPH CO. LOCAL LONG DISTANCE TELEPHONE BELL SYSTEM AND ASSOCIATED COMPANIES headquarters, mobilization posts and commissary depots. Telephones and special lines. have also been supplied for the troops at bridges, grain depots and other places being guarded. In addition to the government's use of our service, increased business activity incident to the war has placed further demands upon our telephone facilities. We are guarded 80 per cent more long distance calls than we did before the war and the number of local calls, particularly in the larger cities, has greatly increased. The long distance telephone facilities out of the city of Washington have been more than doubled since the war began and in all the principal centers both the local and long distance equipment has been greatly increased in an endeavor to handle the telephone burden caused by war activities. Nearly 3,000 skilled telephone engineers and maintenance men from the Bell system alone have been organized into signal corps battalions for service with the armies in the field. Many more of our men are with the national guard and in other branches of the country's military service. The situation confronting us has caused great difficulty in getting and installing equipment for the most urgent needs. Our long distance facilities good and most capacity and our local service in some localities is suffering on account of the conditions over which we have no control. As the war continues the government's requirements for trained telephone men and for service and equipment are increasing. The present business activity is also likely to be extended as the war goes on. In the interests of all, we hope that our patrons will ask for no additional equipment unless absolutely essential to the conduct of their business and that they will put every possible restraint on the unnecessary and extravagant use of our local and long distance service. MONDAY EVENING, SEPT. 10 AND ON MONDAY EVENING, SEPT. 24 SUNDAY Don't "Bang" the Telephone Receiver Some people "bang" the telephone receiver or shake the instrument if they do not seem to be hearing properly. This does no good and may do harm. There are many delicate connections in the telephone. One of these may be jarred loose if the instrument is handled roughly. When you telephone hold the instrument in an upright position and handle it as carefully as you would your watch. When the other party does not hear you distinctly talk more slowly and clearly and directly into the transmitter, but DO NOT shake the instrument. HOME COOKING Tel. N. W. OPEN AL ARCADI W. S.

Horses will race at the fair on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, and the very DARING AVIATOR "The Eye that Never Sleeps." Such is the name by which "Amazing Larry" Brown, the boy aviator who is to appear in day and night flights at the Minnesota State Fair, Sept. 3 to 8, is still known by the bandit forces of Francisco Villa. It was three years ago that Brown gained that title. Carranza, sorely beet by Villa in the ruthless struggle for supremacy in Mexico, sent his representatives to the United States to hire the most daring aviator they could find.

So daring were his frequent sorties into the Villa ranks by day and night that he came to be feared more than the greater share of the Carranza army. He used to follow every move made by the Villa forces, and saved Carranza's army from destruction at least two times by his fearless duty as a sentry of the air. The "death dive" is a feat which Brown will essay at the Minnesota State Fair, the dive which took Beachey to his death in Frisco Bay. Climbing to an altitude of 3,000 feet, Brown suddenly turns the nose of his airship towards the earth, and comes hurting down at the rate of 800 miles an hour. Reaching the ground he suddenly whirls out of his drop, and volplanes gracefully to the earth. Brown will fly twice each afternoon, and once in the evening. It is said that his evening flights have never been surpassed anywhere in the amusement world. He will be at the fair the entire week. = MINNESOTA, F. AND A. M. GEO. L.
