SUCCESS BRINGS GEMORSE Men Whose Minds Failed to Stand Up Under Strain and Horrors of War His Only Companies. Berlin.—The inventor of the "Big Bertha," which first shelled Paris on March 23, 1918, from a distance of nearly 80 miles, now is an inmate of the German state asylum in Andernach. Men whose minds failed to stand up under the strain and horrors of war are his only companions. The inventor does not associate with the other inmates. At rare intervals he speaks with the doctors or nurses in the hospital, but then only a few words. But, once when an American soldier entered, the German's face lighted up like that of a child with a new toy. To the astonishment of the hospital attendants he at once approached the visitor and began to converse with him in English. As he talked his interest in the young American seemed almost pathetic. He asked of America, America's part in the war, what America expected to do with Germany, and particularly was anxious to learn what America thought of the German air raids during the war and the bombardment of Paris by the "Big Bertha." Tells Story of Life. Then, as if afraid that the young soldier from overseas was about to sentence him to some horrible punishment, he suddenly began to tell the story of his own life. As a young man he had studied at the greatest universities in Germany. Chemistry and mechanics had been his favorite subjects, and in these he showed great aptitude. As was natural in Germany at that time, his researches soon took him into the field of perfecting weapons of war. His work in this line attracted the attention of his government. They gave him every opportunity for study. He was sent to England, America and France. In those places he studied at close range the guns used by the armies, the chemical composition of explosives and the methods of manufacturing great shells. When he returned to Germany he was given stock in the Krupp works, at Essen. Profiting by his studies and what he had learned in other lands, this man set about to develop what would eventually be the mightiest cannon in the world. Then came August, 1914, and the war. According to the inventor, his efforts were redoubled. The big guns, which destroyed the forts of Belgium, were not sufficient. For years, the inventor said, he had dreamed and planned a weapon that would reach Paris, and when the war came he, together with the greatest scientist of Germany, began working upon the cannon. Success Brought Only Remorse. In the spring of 1918, the inventor said, they believed their plan had been accomplished. The great gun was finished and moved to a spot in the lines from which its shells could reach Paris. Finally came the day when it was fired on Paris for the first time. Apparently it was a success. For a few days all Germany celebrated, the inventor said. For him, however, this joy was short-lived. Hardly had the celebration ended when the allies seemed to take on a new lease on life. Instead of discouraging them the great gun appeared to have driven them to greater efforts. "Then came the stories of the sufferings caused by the gun," the Inventor said. "Instead of killing soldiers we had murdered women and children. My nights became sleepless. When I did drop into a doze my dreams were terrible. I became slick with the thoughts of my work. I lost weight. I could not face my family, and the sight of women and children on the street made me faint. Then something snapped." Sucks Poison From Snake Bite. Colome, S. D.—Heroic action of his mother in sucking poison injected from the fangs of a rattlesnake from his leg, saved the life of Gaylord Townsend, seven years old, of Mellette county. The boy was walking with his parents across the prairie near their home, when the snake, which had been concealed in a cluster of weeds, struck him as he passed. A friend of the family lanced the wound causing it to bleed freely, after which Mrs. Townsend sucked into the poison. The fangs of the snake struck the boy twice above the ankle. Eight Shots to Kill Mad Dog. Topeka, Kan.—"A dog-goned hard job!" exclaimed Detective Harvey Williams as he reftreated from it supposed "mad dog" after having emptied his revolver at the animal. "Some dog to kill," he declared. Then Hiram Sturm, who lived nearby, arrived on the scene with a revolver and a billy. He fired three shots at the dog and finished the job with the billy. Sight Large Sea Serpent; Immune to Bullets. Reno, Nev.—Doubt not the authenticity of this, for the nation went dry long since. Four hunters report a sea serpent 25 feet long in Yuramid Lake, largest fresh water body west of the Great Lakes. It has huge fins and a serpent's tail, comes to the surface of the water and its hide is impregnable to bullets. The hunters who shot the animal but who report it dived after being hit unhurt are J. S. Neff, Mike Nagy, W. J. Neff and M. Gent. They were camping on the shore of the lake when the monster was first sighted, they said. SHOW YANKS AROUND Y. M. C. A. Conducts Sightseeing Tours Through France. Battlefields and Castles of Leading Interest After Paris Has Been Seen. Chantilly, France.—The progress of the sightseeing doughboy through France, after he gets through with battle fronts, is from one beautiful spot to another. Of course, the battle fronts come first, and the Y. M. C. A. trips to Chateau-Thierry, Belleau Wood, Rheims, Soissons and the Chemin-des-Dames are so popular that the boys have to draw lots every day for the coveted free tickets, as only 100 persons can be taken on each trip. But all the other trips the Y. M. C. A. has arranged for American soldiers and sailors are studies in beauty and art and history amid pleasures and palaces, and the eagerness and intelligence with which the boys go on these expeditions is plain evidence of their essential soundness of heart and mind. The first day, as a rule, the boys get aboard the big "Y" sightseeing automobiles and see Paris. Then they go by special train to the palaces of Versailles, Fontainebleau, Malmison and St. Germain. Next they come back to Paris and spend a day in the Louvre. And then those still keen for palaces are invited to take another trip to the jewel of them all, the famous chateau of the Condes and Montmorencys at Chantilly. Thousands of American soldiers have visited Chantilly this year and have learned something of a place which many wealthy tourists overlooked. Indeed, though many Americans visited Chantilly in years before the war, a large percentage of them saw only the race course and never visited the chateau. Yet many experts hold that though a number of other museums outrank it in size, nowhere in the world—not excepting the Louvre—is there a more exquisite collection of objects of art. WHISKERS AS OLD AS HE IS And Former County Auditor in California Is Hovering Near the Eighty Mark. Santa Ana, Cal.—Who's got the oldest whiskers? Other towns have entered contestants in the race for oldest hirsute adornments, but Santa Ana only now jumps into the fray with a set of whiskers sixty-one years old. If anybody can beat that, let them come forward or forever hold their peace. The proud possessor of the aged beard is J. H. Hall, former auditor of Orange county, who is now dividing his time between Santa Ana and the East. Captain Hall, a G. A. R. man, never has shaved, and the whiskers which now adorn his face are on the roots of the "fuzz" which showed up when he was in his teens. BLIND, HANDS GONE, WRITES Crippled Soldier Becomes Competent Typist Through Patient Training. London.—Blind and deprived of both hands, Sergt. Alan M. Nichols of the Second Durham light infantry refused to be classed as an "unemployable," and today can write letters as proficiently as any normal stenographer. Nichols' restoration to a self-supporting basis was accomplished through patient training, a specially constructed typewriter, a pair of artificial aluminum hands and his own indomitable spirit. Recently he passed a writing test of two hours and fifteen minutes, his "copy" necessitating only two corrections. Wants to Change Absurd Name. New York—Justice Callahan, in the supreme court, has reserved decision in the application of Leon Abouta Beekh to change his name to Leon Atellah. Abouta Beekh said he was born in Damascus, Syria, February 10, 1877, and has three children. The name Abouta Beekh, he said, means "father of cooking," and is so absurd that it has all his life subjected him to ridicule. He said he wanted to prevent his children from enduring the same ridicule. Bathes in Well; Regains Sight. London.—Almost blind since September, 1915, Joseph Culshaw, ex-soldier, bathed several times in St. Winfred's well, North Wales, and has recovered his sight, he says.

Everybody was happy until 5 p. m. arrived, and brought no Lincercum. It was time to close the court. The judge looked at his clock and at the ball. Then Lincercum rushed in, just as the court was ordered closed. He had $25 in real money and walked away with his wife. Reaching a spot where the berries grew thick, she opened it, inverted it under a bush and shook the bush vigorously. The berries fell into the umbrella and were easily transferred from it to Mrs. Cross' berry pail. By this means she gathered 90 quarts during the day, thereby establishing a record for one day's picking, it is said. Waynesborough, Pa.-George Woodring, tenant on the Stone farm south of Waynesborough, lost a young cow as the result of the creature being bitten by a large copperhead snake. Notwithstanding that a veterinary surgeon from Waynesborough was summoned, he could not remove the effects of the poison. Copperheads and rattlesnakes are very plentiful. MINESOTA Burn Home When Trying to Exterminate Squirrel. LET US ESTIMATE Chico, Cal.—Fully prepared to write a testimonial to the destroying qualities of a squirrel exterminator, Mr. and Mrs. D. Hurspeth here mourn the loss of their home today. Here's how it happened: A squirrel had tunneled under their home and the exterminator was purchased. It was poured into the hole, but it was an inflammable liquid. An oil tank and smudge pots caught fire and the house burned to the ground. It is not known what happened to the squirrel. RAT MENAGES HEALTH Costs the United States $180,000,000 a Year for Support. Public Health Service Urges That Measures Be Taken to Destroy Them. Washington.—You pay one-half of one cent every day for the support and sustenance of a brown rat, according to figures compiled by the United States public health service. There is one rat, at least, for every person in the United States. This estimate is considered conservative, but coincides with that for Great Britain and Ireland, and also with authoritative figures for Denmark, France and Germany. The annual upkeep per rodent was computed by the same authorities as $1.80 in Great Britain, $1.20 in Denmark, and $1 in France. The depredations in this country will very probably exceed the estimate for Great Britain. One-half a cent a day is considered conservative, but even on this computation, it costs the United States $180,000,000 a year to support its rat population. It is because of this terrific economic loss and the additional fact that rats are a constant menace to the public health that the public health service has issued a warning to the country to take the necessary measures to destroy them. There are three kinds of rats included in the survey in this country—the Norway or brown rat, the black rat, and Alexandrian rat. The Norway rat, larger and more ferocious than the others, has pretty generally killed them off, and today the black rat and the Alexandrian rat are seldom found except in seaports. The brown or Norway rat, since he discovered America, has literally blazed a trail across the continent. Today it is conservatively estimated that there are at least one rat for every dweller in the cities, and on the farm there are at least three rats for every person. None of these rats is native to the United States. Of many measures suggested for destroying the rat, the public health service advocates one as most effective. It is rat-proofing the buildings so that rats cannot get in for food, thereby starving them to death. LEAVES HIS WIFE AS BAIL Hueband's Appearance Relieves Embarrassment of Police Judge in Los Angeles. Los Angeles, Cal.—Police Judge Chesebro was most embarrassed. A woman had been left with him in lieu of $25 ball, and he did not know what to do with her. Walter Lincercum appeared before the court on a misdemeanor charge. Judge Chesebro fixed the ball at $25 Lincercum did not have the $25. Mrs. Lincercum, who was in court, had a bright idea and whispered to the judge. He nodded assent and Lincercum rushed from the courtroom. His wife remained behind. She was the ball. UMBRELLA AS BERRY PICKER By Its Aid Long Island Woman Gath- ers Ninety Quartz in Day.

Snake Kills Cow. $2.00 PER YEAR PEOPLE HELPED WASHINGTON Supplied Ammunition With Which Continental Army Forced British to Evacuate Boston—Islands Discovered as Result of Shipwreck. Washington, D. C.—"The Bermuda islands suggest the adventures of Robinson Crusoe in their colonization and present in their later chronology a curious parallel to United States history, with the events consistently predated by a number of years." With this statement the National Geographic society prefaces a bulletin on the Bermudas, a principal group of the British West Indies, which some Englishmen suggest should be ceded to the United States in part payment of the American war loans to Great Britain. "The Robinson Crusoe comparison obtrudes because the islands were discovered and later settled as the direct result of shipwrecks, and the settlers had to build themselves a bark to set sail again," the bulletin continues. "As for the anticipation of American history, on a miniature scale, it may be noted that the colonization took place seven years before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth, Mass.; that witches were burned, Quakers were persecuted and miscreants were ducked before similar occurrences are recorded in New England, and that slavery was abolished in 1834. The Bermudians protested long before 1776 against the mother country's rule, until the island prisons were over full, but relief came, in their case, not through a declaration of freedom but by the accession of Cromwell. Helped to Start Revolution "But the essential point of contact of the American with the Bermudian arises from the all-but-forgotten fact that while the immortal Lafayette gallantly helped the colonies conclude their war of independence, the Bermudians supplied the ammunition to begin it. "So acute was the need for powder in 1775 that George Washington wrote to the governor of Rhode Island that 'no quantity of powder, however small, is beneath notice.' Learning that there was a store in Bermuda, and that the islanders were anxious to have the embargo lifted upon shipment of food supplies from the colonies, Washington addressed a letter to the people of the island, who had shown themselves sympathetic with the American Revolution, promising them ample supply of provisions and 'every other mark of affection and friendship which the grateful citizens of a free country can bestow upon its brethren and benefactors if they would make this ammunition available for the Continental army. "It so happened that the powder had been procured before the letter was delivered, and with it the Continental army compelled the British to evacuate Boston. "Not only the sale of powder bft the fact that Bermuda allowed the colonies to have salt, so incensed the governor of Bermuda that he upbraided the citizens for treason, and feeling ran so high that he was removed. His successor was a native of Salem, Mass., whose loyalty to the mother country was such that he gave up large estates in the colonies rather than join the revolutionists. He was connected, both by blood and by marriage, with the Winthrop family. Under his rule the island's full allegiance to England was restored. "Browne was succeeded by Henry Hamilton, during whose administration the town of Hamilton was founded and named for him. This town today is the seat of the island government. It has a population of less than 3,000. "Hamilton is on Main island, or Bermuda, while St. George, the former capital, is on the island of the same name. There are more than 300 small islands in the Bermuda group, of which only a score are inhabited. The total population of the islands in 1916 was little over 20,000, of whom about one-third were white. Bermuda suffered during the war by the cessation of the American tourist patronage, which had doubled the entire island population in preceding seasons. "The Bermudas attracted visitors because of their mild climate, which knew no frosts, and by their scenic beauty." "Juan Bermudez, sailing from Spain to Cuba in 1515 with a cargo of hogs, discovered the islands when a storm blew him to their shores. Apparently he left some of the hogs there, for later visitors found the animals on the island. From him the islands were named, and thus originated the 'hog money,' coins stamped with a hog on one side and a ship on the other, which still are preserved in various collections. "The islands were settled through the efforts of Sir George Somers, who became impressed with their fertility and beauty during a sojourn enforced by the wrecking of the ship which was carrying him to Virginia." For hundreds of years the Nile floods have not varied ten days in their arrival. THE APPEAL AN AMERICAN NEWSPAPER ISSUED WEEKLY No. 301-2 Court Block, 24 E. 4th st. PHONE: N. W. CEDAR 5649.

ALL HAIL, "THE HAMMER!" For many years we have heard a lot about throwing the "hammer" into the discard and giving time to "constructive work." Many have said: Build up; never tear down. But knocking and tearing down are just as necessary in the economy of things, as building up. Battering down Wrong is a useful process and must usually precede the building up of Right. "Foul as it is, hell itself is defiled by the fouler presence of John." That was the terrible verdict of the contemporaries of King John of England. In his person were combined insolence, selfishness, unbridled lust, cruelty, shamelessness and tyranny. The barons rose against him and demanded a change A. D. 1215, they invited the King to a little meeting at Runnymede and they informed the absolute monarch that there must be some material modifications in the autocratic power of the King. John did not relish the demand but he realized that he stood alone and that the barons had their little "hammers" up their sleeves and were ready to use them, so he granted the Magna Charta. The Great Charter was discussed, agreed to, and signed in a single day. Thus modern democracy and liberty had their origin in "hammer" work. In the sixteenth century the Catholic Church had grown corrupt. The priests were guilty of immorality, extortion and all the other crimes in the decalogue. The Inquisition was working overtime. When conditions were at their worst, Martin Luther appeared on the scene armed with a "hammer," and he battered down the Devil so braced Christianity and this in the strongly entrenched in the church. Thus began the Reformation which separated the Protestant church from the Romish See, and conferred inestimable benefits on mankind. For many years the American colonies had been oppressed by England, the mother country. The colonies protested against taxation without representation. Mother England refused to heed the cries of her children, so in 1775, the colonists revolted, the first blood shed being that of Crispus 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 friends 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. Attucks, a mulatto, whose valor the Commonwealth of Massachusetts has commemorated in enduring granite and bronze on Boston Common. The continued "hammering" of the colonists finally brought the liberty which was proclaimed, July 4, 1776. In the seventeenth century, African slavery was inaugurated in America. William Wilberforce and others "hammered" at the vile wrong in England. The agitation was continued until the year 1834 saw the abolition of slavery in all British colonies. Bond-service had a strong hold in the United States, but the abolitionists had already unsheated their "hammers." William Lloyd Garrison, Frederick Douglass, Wendell Phillips, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Charles Sumner and hundreds of others "hammered" the great evil until the slave holders' rebellion came, when "hammers" were exchanged for guns, and with the assistance of nearly 200,000 former slaves, who fought nobly, the great blot was wiped from the escutcheon. The work of the hammer is not yet complete. Thousands of social wrongs still exist which must be hammered until they disappear. Thousands of men, such as women-slavers, jimcrowists and their ilk, men who would barter their birthrights, must be hammered until they beg for mercy and reform or are knocked into hell. Great is the hammer! Long may it exist to knock down the Wrong; to build up Right. RIGHT MR. WRIGHT. A recent interview of Mr. Edward H. Wright, a $5,000 assistant corporation counsel in Chicago, on "What the Colored People Want," which was published in the Chicago Daily News, is so admirable in its general character that THE APPEAL reprints some excerpts from the same: "What the colored people want politically in the 1st congressional district, where the bulk of those in Chicago live, and why?" Assistant Corporation Counsel Wright was asked today. "The colored man in the 1st congressional district," replied Attorney Wright, "constitutes the backbone of the republican party and he desires politically what any other element of the American people desires under like conditions. The colored man is a native born American; he is 100 per cent patriotic; he is intelligent and progressive and his ambition is to reach the status of absolute equality as an American citizen. "We feel that if we bear all the burdens and responsibilities of citizenship we should be accorded all the privileges that go with it. We want no special privileges—and we want no special handicaps. "In all matters in which the law governs we demand the same rights that other American citezens enjoy. But there is often friction and bad feeling between the colored man on the one side and all other races on the other because there is not a better understanding between the antagonistic elements. "That a better undertanding may be brought about the colored man should be represented in all bodies that have to do with the shaping of policies under which the people must live. "He should be represented in congress, in the legislature, in the council, in the governing committees of the political parties with which he affiliates. "It is unfortunate that the white THE SIN OF SILENCE To sin by silence protest makes cow The human race has test. Had no voice in injustice, ignorance quisition yet would guillotines decide o The few who dare speak again to rig 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. who in the consci- of his duty dares to world, with ignorant, nt, may condemn, of relatives may be arts of friends grow of duty done shall the applause of the ances of relatives or s.—Charles Sumner. man's unreasoning prejudice (no matter to what party he belongs) makes it almost a necessity that the colored man should have a preponderance of the vote in a certain territory or have at least the balance of power between the parties before he is given any political recognition. This has a tendency to compel-colored men to draw racial lines as a matter of self protection. This is all wrong on both sides. "The white man holds the solution of this question in his hands. Not having reached this desirable point, the colored man naturally seeks to combine his energies to achieve those things that ought to be freely accorded to him if he produces a man competent and deserving of preferment. "The colored republicans of the 2nd ward believe that their people should be represented in the Cook county republican committee. They believe that in the 2nd ward where the colored man constitutes 90 per cent of the republican strength, they should select a colored man, not because he is colored, but because he is deserving and capable, as the head of the republican organization, with a voice in the management of the affairs of the party. While many of the colored voters believe that in the 1st congressional district an effort should be made to send a colored man to congress, there are many others who feel that Congressman Martin R. Dodd has been groomman Martin D. Madden has been the one conspicuous member of Congress who has stood up for the rights of the colored people and they feel that common justice requires that they make no attacks upon Congressman Madden unless he should fail to cooperate with them in matters for their good in the district. "We believe we should apply the same rule to the delegates to the republican national convention from the 1st congressional district. We should have one of the delegates and he should cast his vote for a man for president who represents Americanism in its highest sense. "In the program herein outlined, the enemies of the colored race will raise the cry of 'negro domination' wherever the colored man is numerically in the majority. This is all rot. "It is the desire and purpose of the intelligent progressive colored man to maintain the most friendly relations with the white man and to co-operate with him in all matters touching the public welfare. "All they ask for is justice and fairness in all public matters, and if a little Christian charity can be mixed with it so much the better. We will fight for absolute equality under the law—no separate schools nor separate cars—no segregation, either voluntary or imposed. We demand the right to work out our destiny as free American citizens without being shackled by the chains of race prejudice, and any man who would deny these things to us is not worthy of being an American citizen." THE APPEAL has only one fault to find with Mr. Wright's interview—his too frequent use of the word "negro." Its use aids in keeping the colored man shackled. There should be no Poles, no Irish, no Germans, no Negroes, nor hypenates of any kind in the U. S. A. The word American ought to be broad enough to cover all citizens. With the great racial excitement now existing all over the country, it e when we should wards out of men. us climbed on pro- been raised against e and lust, the in- serve the law, and our least disputes. e must speak and right the wrongs of is well for colored people to keep cool. No good can come from incendiary talk. It is rank folly to talk about actual, physical fighting to win the contest for justice in the U. S. A. It would be futile as the colored people have neither wealth nor guns and are outnumbered five to one. Never be the aggressor but defend yourself if wantonly attacked. The colored people must fight but it must be with the spirit, money and the ballot. Use every legitimate means to create a healthy public opinion and vote for the individual or party guaranteeing protection of life and liberty. RIFFE-HOAGE MR. BYRON SCOTT RIFFE AND MISS EUNICE HARRIETTE HOAGE WELDED IN WEDLOCK The High Contracting Parties Are From St. Paul's Best Social Circle and Their Wedding Was One of the Grandest Social Events Our City Has Ever Known: The marriage of Miss Eunice Harriette Hoage, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George L. Hoage, and Byron Scott Riffe, nephew of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas R. Morgan, took place at eight P. M., Monday, September 29, 1919, at St. Philips Episcopal Church, St. Paul, Rev. A. H. Lealtad, rector, performed the ceremony. The marriage was one of the prettiest that has taken place in the Twin Cities in recent years. The bridal party was led by Little Harriette Cage, flower girl, and Rhochelle Cracken, ring bearer. Miss Alice Melker, St. Paul, was Maid of Honor, and Miss Edythe Stone, of Minneapolis, was bridesmaid. Mr. Carl Clay borne and Mr. Geo. L. Hoage, Jr., brother of the bride, were Mr. Riffe's attendants. The bride wore a gown of bridal satin, hand embroidered in pink rose-buds, with an over drape of white silk tulle, elaborately trimmed with pearls, the veil was held by large pearl buckles. A shower bouquet of bridal roses and sweet peas and a white prayer book, completed the bride's costume. Miss Alice Melker, a life-long friend of the bride, wore a beautiful gown of peach colored charmeuse with side drapes of burnt orange silk net and silk flowers and was caught at the bottom with burnt orange silk poppies. Her hat was beautifully trimmed with orange streamers and poppies that matched her gown. Miss Edythe Stone, cousin of the bride, wore a gown of peach colored taffeta with side drapes of peach colored georgette and silk flowers caught at the bottom with a peach colored rose. Her hat was of the same material as the gown, trimmed with peach streamers and roses to match. The reception was held at the home of the bride's parents, where the newly, married couple received a host of friends under a bower of richly colored autumn leaves. Among the distinguished guests were Governor and Mrs. J. A. A. Burns, the wife of the late Dr. John Schmahl and Mrs. Schmahl, of St. Paul and Dr. and Mrs. Horace Newhart of Minneapolis.

My ear is pained 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. —Cowper. M. H. REV. BENJAMIN H.

And they don't regret it if it certainly was fine and Lieut. W. H. Howard added new laurels to those that now bedeked his manly brow as a director. And the members of the band are entitled to an equal amount of praise for their work. "We'll call it some band! The beautiful call has been rearranged and thoroughly redecorated and is more beautiful than the crowd was large and everybody had a large time. It is dollars to doughnuts that the public will respond every time this splendid organization calls upon it. Union Temple Hall, 28 Washington Ave. S. was crowded to capacity last Monday evening, with those who attended the Innovation Ball and Entertainment given by the popular pleasure purveyors, the Twin City Entertainers. And the volume of fun and frivolity was as large as the crowd. The rain may have dampened their raiments but not their risibles for there was a smile, smile, smile on every one's face, including that jolly one that the genial manager, Hamlet Robbins, possessed. And the entertainers, Blevins and Johnson's Cosmopolitan Jazz Band and caterer John Bright all delivered the goods. Read the announcement of the next one in THE APPEAL today, the "Kewpie Ball."

The people of St. Paul are generally pleased that Rev. J. C. Anderson has been reappointed pastor of St. James A. M. E. Church. He is still in Chicago where he went to accompany the remains of his beloved wife and to attend her funeral there, which is said to have been one of the largest ever held there. An extended account of the funerals here and in Chicago will be published when Rev. Anderson returns to the city. The St. Paul Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. fully appreciating the importance of a better and more friendly relation between the races, is preparing to launch a membership drive with a view to securing two thousand members. This campaign is to be made among both the white and colored people. In furtherance of that work Suite No. 206 Court Block has been secured as headquarters from which the campaign will be directed by those in charge. The office will be open within a week and literature and full information can be obtained by applying there. Every man and woman of the race should be identified with this organization as it is in position and ready to do more for the benefit and advancement of the race than any other force now in existence if we will but lend our assistance. The announcement last week of the marriage on Aug. 14 of Mrs. Grace Booker and Mr. John R. White, Jr., was quite a surprise to a number of the bride's many friends and was conclusive evidence that she does not believe that "marriage is a failure." The bride for the last six years has held with much credit the position of assistant matron at the county jail. As evidence of esteem several social courtesies have been extended this week, viz: Supper by Mrs. R. H. Anderson, 912 Gaultier street. Tuesday evening; supper by Mrs. Lillian McCauley, 912 Central avenue, Wednesday evening; theatre by Mr. O. V. Hall, Thursday evening. Mr. John R. White, Jr., the lucky fisher in the matrimonial sea, has been a clerk in the city post office but has been transferred to New York City for the past few weeks and his bride leaves today to join him, carrying with her the best wishes of a host of friends for both herself and her husband. LAW SUPPLEMENTS Supplements containing the laws passed at the recent special session of the Minnesota legislature are issued by THE APPEAL today. If you did not get your calls at this office and one will be given to you free. N. A. A. C. P. Investigates Assault Charge. The Saint Paul Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. secured the services of a private detective agency as soon as the report of the alleged assault upon Mrs. Julius Osen, a white woman, was made public Wfnesday night, and directed that a thorough investigation be made. Investigation shows that Mrs. Osen has told three different stories about the incident. It appears that there was a man with her at the edge of the weeds at the end of the Western Avenue bridge, but that Mrs. Osen made no outcry until she saw Mrs. Martineau and her daughter approaching a short distance away. Mrs. Martineau saw the form of a man going away from Mrs. Osen but could not say whether he was white or black. Mrs. Osen said when first interviewed that it was a black man, but at the time of the second interview she said it was a light man, but that she could not identify the man if she saw him again. The weeds in and about the place show no evidence of a scuffle and failed to bear out Mrs. Osen's story that she struggled with the man on the ground for ten minutes. Mrs. Osen's clothing was not disarranged at the time she called to Mrs. Martineau and there was nothing to prove. She said that she had been in a scuffle. She beamed no marks or bruises of any kind. It is reported that the husband takes no stock in the wife's story. DO NOT FORGET THE NEXT DANCING OF THE GOLDEN ROD DANCING ON MONDAY EVENING AT THE EAST LAKE COMMER 1419 1-2 EAST LAKE ST.
