Everything in perfect harmony. Choice weather, grand music, and a good crowd of "jolly fellows" and "fair ladies", who vied with each other in mirth and merriment. Judge Johnson, the general manager, a "veteran of the enjoyment ranks" was at his best. Messrs. Carl D. Pickett and Andy Cavlats, were the promoters of this outing in honor of the ball teams. Who are they? The Syndicate. Mrs. Dovie Campbell, who has been in the city during the past week, the guest of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jos.

Mrs. Campbell is an old schoolmate of the St. Paul correspondent and to see the advancement she has made in the musical word, as one of the top notchers, is indeed gratifying. She leaves to fill a six week's contract. We learn through some of our best young people that one evening last week they were refused service in one of our common Ice Cream parlors, Cor. of St. Peter and West. Their refusal was outright. The young people walked into the place after the theater and after taking seats were handed cards upon which was printed this inscription: "We do not serve colored people." One of the white waitresses refused to hand out the cards on pain of dismissal, but others handed out the cards to the young ladies, one of whom tore it up. This is a clear case of discrimination which can and should be stopped immediately and the management subjected to a heavy fine. It being against the laws of the state of Minnesota. A CARD. In this wilderness of American race prejudice, a gentle voice of reason and justice is ever serenely sweet. We little care if the same chord is struck, for the harmony is always welcome and the tender notes forever refreshing. In the issue of this week, a Mr. F. A. Lowne wrote under the title of "A Voice From The North," and we who have heard it, gladly add another unknown name to our scroll of friends. In the mantle of darkness which seems to roof and horizon our race in America, each and every pen and voice that pays tribute to justice and right, dawns as a new star and chases away a bit of cloud. Such letters as the one mentioned raises hope. And hope, hand in hand with faith, encourages us and makes us stronger. We thank Mr. Towne and trust that time will ever justify in deed and life the lessons which he draws so perfectly from this codele humane, comedy in deed, yet oft times so tragically tragic. Escrito. --- During the summer months St. Paul and Minneapolis seems to be the Mecca for visitors, our healthful climate, our watering places, our hospitality, and warm welcome is renowned throughout the United States, and our people are constantly kept busy entertaining friends and relatives from other places. There are so many of our race in the Twin Cities, who disapprove of this effort and condemn our action, but we can only say that "you dare not tell us so." and proceed onward. I am sure that there is a "sattering element" of this community, whose efforts have been to "kill this sheet." They have said and done things, which were after all only "KNOCKS" which were better than their "BOOSTS." A Colored Man of Prominence STOPPED AT THE HOTEL RADISSON entrance and was told that they cared neither for him or his lucre, so he hied forth, a block or so away to Dickersons restaurant, 208 Hennepin Ave. "where he found" the "best in town." cholestest quality, quick service and moderate prices.

September 22nd will be the 47th year since the signing of this proclamation, which has meant so much to the negroes of the United States. A conservative estimate of the negroes at the head of the lakes would hover around 500 and it is but fitting and proper that some notice should be taken of this occasion. In the south where the race is not supposed to have had so much to be thankful for the day is generally celebrated with good literary and musical programs and other amusements. Pharaoh's command: "Let my people go," had no greater significance than Lincoln's proclamation. Some such public celebration wherein all the people might join would do much to promote a better feeling and more united effort. Mr. Kelley assisted by a few others has taken the initiative in this matter and if a large hall or pavilion easily accessible, can be secured, will announce a program and a general committee to be made up from every lodge, club or other organization in the cities of Duluth and Superior. Assurance of one good speaker has already been received and just as soon as it is definitely settled, whether a celebration will be held, others can be secured. Any suggestions as to the best plans for holding such a celebration will be gladly received if addressed to Mr. Geo. B. Kelley. Mr. Earle Smith is attached to the Star staff at Duluth and will supply you with the paper on request.

The object of all education should be to increase the usefulness of man—usefulness to himself and others. Every human being should be taught that his first duty is to take care of himself, and that to be self-respecting he must be self-supporting. To live on the labors of others, either by force which enslaves, or by cunning which robs, or by borrowing or begging, is wholly dishonorable. Every man should be taught some useful art. His hands should be educated as well as his head. He should be taught to deal with things as they are—with life as it is. This would give a feeling of independence, which is the finest foundation of honor, of character. Every man knowing he is useful, admires himself. In accepting the invitation to represent the Star at the head of the Lakes I do so with the hope that I may have the support of all the people, for the common good, that I may err as little as possible. It will be my aim to be as liberal as consistent, but in no case need any one think that I shall fall to publish things as they appear to me. The spreading of gossip or the dissemination of flattery is not the real purpose of even a Negro paper and I shall not have anything to do with such matters, but will give every consideration to all things pertaining to the welfare of the community in general. The Fraternal Societies, Clubs, etc., deserving notices of coming events should send copy early for prompt service. The entire community has my thanks in advance for what ever support they may give.

Graves, one of the foremost medical practitioners of western Connecticut, died at Bridgeport, Conn., 18 hours after taking a deadly draft compounded from many poisons, with suicidal intent. Doctor Graves has been melancholy because he believed himself incurably ill. Mayor Brand Whitlock of Toledo, D., and members of his party were arrested in Sandusky, charged with violation of the automobile speed ordinance.

He also declared that the president had carried out the policies of Roosevelt and would continue to follow them.

Nebraska Democrats wrested the leadership of their state organization from William J. Bryan on the issue of county option at the Grand Island state convention. By decisive votes they registered their unbelief in his present policies after listening to an impassioned appeal from Mr. Bryan, who declared the liquor interests were in an organized attempt to secure political control of the state. Bound to New Orleans and thence to Nicaragua, the converted gunboat Hornet, formerly owned by the United States government, cleared from Norfolk, Va.

Etherington at Newark, O., on July 8, was arrested at Harper, O., and rushed to the Newark jail. TWIN CITY STAR. TEDDY WILL BE IMPARTIAL EVEN PARTY LINES HE WILL OBLITERATE AS FAR AS SUP- PORT IS CONCERNED. Will Contend for What He Believes is Best For Country.—Shadow Picture of Colonel's Attitude as Told by His Visitors. Oyster Bay, July 28.—Those who heard Theodore Roosevelt talk at Sagamore Hill came away with a sharply-etched shadow picture of what his attitude will be in state and national politics. Primarily he wishes to keep in the background in the approaching campaign, for he feels that taking too prominent a part in it he may be accused of assuming a distrustship. These views Colonel Roosevelt has explained to those who have come to see him recently. He tells his visitors that he is anxious to take a hand as a private citizen, but he is willing to go no further. Broadly speaking, he will, as he has said on several occasions, do all in his power to help the men who stood by him and his policies formulated during his years in the White House, but he is non-committal as to whether he expects to carry this to the point of coming out openly in favor of the Republicans all over the country whom he considers to be standing for his ideas. He does say, however, that he must forget factional differences and even party lines and support the men and the things which he believes to stand for the best interests of the country as a whole. But he has not made up his mind when he will take any decided stand. N. Y. Situation Shifting. The Republican situation in this state is shifting so rapidly that the colonel said he was having trouble keeping pace with it. During his latest interview there were mentioned to him the names of Representative Hamilton Fish and William H. Hotchkiss, state superintendent of insurance, as having been spoken of recently in connection with the gubernatorial nomination. He replied by naming over the whole list of men who have been mentioned, adding that he had no idea whatever as to who the best man should be. He repeated in substance his recent declaration that the people must choose their man and that his nomination must result from this fact, not because one man or one set of men wanted him. When the colonel heard the news of the Ohio Republican convention he sat silent and motionless in his chair for a full minute. He looked as though he wanted to say something, and the interviewers leaned forward for his expected statement on Ohio politics. Suddenly he brought his hands together with a smack and said: "Not a word to say, gentlemen, not a word to say." Colonel Roosevelt said he had not been reading up on Nebraska politics lately and had not heard how William J. Bryan had fared in the Democratic convention in that state. The interviewers broke the news of the setback to his former rival and the colonel asked whether the differences of opinion had arisen because Mr. Bryan went too far or not far enough in his proposed temperance legislation. After he was told that the former seemed to fill the case, there was nothing which he cared to add in comment of Mr. Bryan. RAILROAD FRAUD SCHEME BARED Former Car inspector Witness in Illinois Central Probe. Chicago, July 28.—Harold A. Sims told a striking story of wholesale graft before Master in Chancery Rosewell B. Mason here in connection with the investigation being made into the alleged $1,500,000 car repair fraud in the Illinois Central railroad. Sims, former car inspector for the railroad, and later in the employ of one of the five car repair companies charged with the fraud, declared that the Illinois Central was made to furnish not only materials, but also labor for repairs, and then was charged from one of three prices for the work through an elaborate system of padded bills. Sims said the greater part of the woodwork supposed to have been done in the independent shops and for which the railroad company paid a round figure, was really done at the Illinois Central shops in Memphis.

Wellington, Kan., July 28—The automobile in which Louis and Temple Abernathy are traveling from New York to their father's ranch in Oklahoma caught fire just after they left here. The fire started in the rear of the automobile and before it could be extinguished nearly all the baggage, consisting largely of curios and souvenirs collected at New York and at points along the route, had been destroyed. The machine was not seriously damaged and the boys continued the journey W. S. HAMMOND. Congressman from Second District of Minnesota. FIRE DESTROYS HERREID, S. D. ENTIRE BUSINESS DISTRICT IS DESTROYED. High Wind and a Lack of Fire Fighting Apparatus Doom Village. Herreid, S. D., July 28.—Flames of unknown origin wiped out the entire business district of Herreid, finally dying out for lack of buildings to destroy. There is no fire fighting apparatus in this village of 300 people and when the flames were fairly started all that could be done to stop them was for the bucket brigade to pour water on the roofs and sides of the buildings yet standing. Owing to the high wind these efforts were in vain and the fire continued till it burned itself out. The loss is estimated as between $40,000 and $60,000. The buildings destroyed were the Herreid State bank, Dickman & Danberger, general merchandise; Karl Welzer, general merchandise; Blair Drug company, H. H. Heinoe, meat market; C. O. Robbins, jewelry; W. S. Seigle, saloon, and Lang & Bossler, harness. Insurance carried by these firms will not total one-tenth of the loss. CENSUS OF THE DIAMOND. American Association.

RALLY TO YOUR OWN DEFENSE | "A VO CE·FROM THE NORTH." To Colored Americans and their Fellow Countrymen. Greetings:— By vote of the Executive Committee and by order of the President this call of the National Independent (formerly Negro-American) Political league is issued for the 3rd annual meeting at Atlantic City, New Jersey, August 4th and 5th, 1910. This national convention of Colored citizens is called under what grave conditions touching the object of this organization, the supreme aim of which is to maintain and secure for all Colored Americans the same rights and privileges of citizenship as the enjoyed by the other citizens of these United states of America? In the southern states 95 per cent of the nine million Colored citizens of the United States are deprived of the exercise of the ballot, the fundamental right under our system of government, without which there is for citizens neither protection nor freedom. This rape of the ballot is consummated in plain violation of the national constitution which forbids denial of the right to vote because of race or color. The executive head of the federal government within sixteen months officially admitted this disfranchisement in inaugural address and palliated the violation of the federal constitution instead of declaring his purpose to enforce the law in obedience to the cath he had just solemnly taken. President Wm. H. Taft even intimated the legality of those devices for nullifying the 15th amendment by state laws which are as much worse than fradulent practices as law is stronger than custom. The legislative branch of the federal government, specifically clothed with power to enforce the suffrage articles of the constitution, has viewed with apathy and inaction their flagrant violation save when actively condoning it by seating congressmen elected under the violation as against contestants entitled to seats if the federal law had been obeyed in their districts in the South. The judicial branch has dodged the issue in all cases brought involving southern disfranchisement laws, thus by persistent refusal of relief strengthening the nullification and emboldening the nullifiers of the supreme law of the land. In view of the very nature of our republican institutions, as well as of the declared reasons for our existence as an independent government, is not this condition sufficiently serious to twelve millions of Colored Americans to justify and necessitate a national convention, and sufficiently alarming to all believers in our country's destiny and defenders of her democracy and of her fainn name to compel their sympathy and support? But what train of evils were let loose upon Colored Americans with disfranchisement! In the southern states unequal and oppressive laws have destroyed all their civil rights, excluding them from public places of business, of accommodation, or resort, even public parks and public libraries, barring from state, quasi-public and the public schools, forcing them into separate and inferior schools, fastening upon them the public ignominy and caste stigma of segregation in public travel, casting them even into peonage. They are under the tyranny of taxation without representation. Left in that hapless and helpless condition of citizens without voice as to law-maker, law-enforcer, or law interpreter, they are not only the victims of injustice in the courts, but, denied all trial by court or jury, are they the prey of the flandish mong, until now the almost daily lynching of human beings has disgraced our country before the civilized world. Inevitably this race persecution infects the north, Color prejudice is on the increase. Discrimination based on color in civil rights and in economic opportunities is gaining ground. Jim-crow cars have reached the borders of the national capitol, twice color disfranchisement has raised its horrid head above Mason and Dixon's line, while bloody race riots and barbarous lynchings have reached up to Illinois, even to the home of the martyrned Lincoln. Most harmful and portentful of all in this crusade of race hate and color prejudice is the action, under the present administration, of the federal government itself. For the first time in the United States a president has officially proclaimed color a political disability. By his declaration that he would not appoint Colored citizens to office where white citizens objected, he completed southern disfranchisement. It is Colored soldiers who are the victims when for the first time a battalion is discharged wholesale and without trial because of an alleged affray with civilians, and the new departure, aggravated by the failure to establish individual guilt after trial, is boldly continued. That unique degradation of free citizens, segregation by color in public carriers, has been sanctioned and nationalized by a federal commission, while the federal court in support declares the right of even an interstate railroad to segregate Colored passengers. Unless one-eighth of the citizens of the United States are to be reduced to political serddom, unless our Republic is to abandon democracy for the caste of color, this present trend must be resolutely opposed. Graver crisis in a Republic could hardly be. Colored Americans, rally to your own defense. From every town and city send delegates to this annual meeting, there to deliberate and organize for self-protection against this menace. And let all true patrols of whatever race, all friends of liberty, battle with us for equality of citizenship, for true democracy, that this may be in very truth the home of the brave and the land of the free. By order of the president, ALEXANDER WALTERS, WM. MONROE TROTTER, Corresponding Secretary. June 22, 1910, 21 Cornhill, Boston, Mass. Send your notes to the Star office—and they will be inserted, or a satisfactory reason given. We want to "interest the classes" and "represent the masses"—Ed. In view of the fact that so many acts of violence have been reported since the fight at Reno, in which the whites seem to have been the aggressors, I am moved to inquire what has become of our Anglo-Saxon sense of fair play and our boasted superiority as a race. Jack Johnson has demonstrated his physical superiority by defeating the supposedly invincible champion of the whites. And in the realm of intellect, we meet some colored people who challenge our admiration and command our respect on account of their achievements. In an eastern college recently a colored girl easily defeated all her white competitors and carried off all the honors. In all comparisons of this kind, it must be borne in mind that the colored people are heavily handicapped and labor under great disadvantages. Under the circumstances, it ill becomes us to make invidious comparisons. The opinion seems to prevail, quite generally, that, as a race, the blacks are quite inferior to the whites in virtue and morality. But what have we to boast of in this regard? What virtues do we possess that may not be found among the colored people? What vices have they which we have not? What crimes are there, from petit larceny to lynching and burning at the stake, that whites have not committed. Is sin less sinful, vice less repulsive or crime less heinous when committed a person with a white skin? Has any colored person ever descended to a depth of degradation or bestiality so low that he could find no white companions? We have had superior advantages. We ought to be a superior race, but we cannot demonstrate our superiority by lynching blacks, shooting up colored settlements or by depriving them of their rights under the law. I can hardly repress a sneer when I read of the spasm of moral sentiment that is sweeping over the country since the battle at Reno. "The hope of the white race" was defeated by a black man and suddenly we behold that prize-fighting has become shockingly brutal and demoralizing, and moving pictures of the fight are declared to be disgusting and immoral exhibitions. Chicago, the city of beer, boodlers and Busse, of Bathhouse John and Hinky Dink, where municipal corruption has gone to seed, and graft, tax-dodging and white slavery flourishes, has suddenly been transformed and views with disfavor the thing she once delighted in. Then priests and politicians, lawmakers and lawbreakers, saints and sinners take up the cry, "suppress those pictures." But suppose the white champion had been the victor, who except the Christians, who always oppose such things, would have uttered a note of protest? Jeffries would have met with an ovation wherever he went. Cities and towns everywhere would have greeted him with acclamations of joy. Chicago would have met him with brass bands and given him the freedom of the city. The moving pictures would have been exhibited everywhere and no such thing as a race riot would have been apprehended. In conclusion let me say that it is to be hoped that the outcome of all this turmoil may be the abolition of prize fighting in every state in the union. —F. A. Towne. Minneapolis, July 15.

One of the most encouraging utterances from the south that we have heard in a long time is that of Judge John L. Hopkins, of George, who, the Atlanta Constitution says, stands at the head of the bar of Georgia. He has been a dweller in three epochs—that before the war, the reconstruction period, and the present rise out of destitution and disorder. He was chosen by the state legislature and by the combined legal talent of the state to recodify the laws of the state. The Constitution speaks of him in superlatives. He has written a communication to that paper, the keynote of which is in the following extract: "I am an old man sitting to one side at the end of a long road and watching the procession troop by — — And I tell you, calmly and with deliberation, weighing my words with the care of one who has learned to be economical with emphasis, that the greatest problem of our day—your day, more accurately speaking—is the making of citizens instead of criminals out of the masses of the negroes that everywhere in the south eddy and swirl into the body politic of the Anglo-Saxon. —Minneapolis Journal.

"A change of pasture is good for the cows." This expression is often heard, out on the farm, and it seems to apply to baseball. Look at the case of "Bill" Burns. He was a twirler on Comiskey's team in Chicago and as such seemd to have no interest in the game. He was known to possess the goods, but he seldom delivered them. Burns is of a family that has money and he doesn't play baseball because he has to earn a living. It was thought, however, that he liked the game. Last year in Washington Burns had some trouble with the management of the Sox, and since then he has been of little use to Comiskey. So not long ago Comiskey asked for walers on Burns. Not a magnate in the American league refused to waive. They didn't want Burns. Clark Griffith, manager of the Cincinnati Rods, is a foxy old man. He knew Burns, and he knew that Burns could pitch if he would, so when the American league dropped Bill Griffith grabbed him for his National league team. What did Burns do? Here's two things: He shut of the Chicago Cubs the first two times he pitched against them. Once with only one hit and the next time with two hits. That's enough for Burns. Now hasn't Griffith added to his right to the title of "Old Fox?" He got Burns for $1,500. "A bench manager has a distinct advantage over a player manager, hasn't he, Connie?" A fan peppered this question at the leader of the Athletics in Detroit one day. "Oh, I wouldn't say that at all," replied Mack, in his usual guarded way. "There have been, and are, some great bench managers, and there have been, and are, some wonderful playing managers, meaning by playing managers men in uniform who get out and hustle, as do Clark Griffith and Hughey Jennings. "Ned Hannon and Frank Selee were two of the greatest bench managers in the history of baseball. Hannon won pennant after pennant, and Selee, let's see, didn't he win five flags for Boston? Then there's George Stallings today. He seems to be doing right well. "Then look at the playing managers who have been eminently successful—Fred Clarke, Frank Chance, Clark Griffith, Hughey Jennings, Jimmy Collins, Muggy McGraw and many others." "There is, of course, one slight advantage the bench manager may be said to possess if he has a good captain—there are two pairs of eyes watching every play from different angles. The man on the bench may see something the man in uniform does not, and vise versa. But even this advantage scarcely obtains when one is contemplating such men as Fielder Jones, Clark Griffith, Hughey Jennings, and men of that stamp. "Do you know that this baseball game is getting to be a fearful and wonderful proposition?" Connle went on. "Why, it isn't so many years ago when the players' bus would back up to the hotel door, 10 or 11 men would climb in, and away the rig would go on its way to the ball park. "How is it today? Why, the manager has to stand out by the bus now and do stunts in mental and visual arithmetic until he's dizzy. He counts the men in sight—20, 21, 22, 23, 24—and then he has to stop and recall how many players he has on his staff. Lots of times I've forgotten altogether, and had to go in and look over the hotel register to see how many men were drawing salaries from the Athletic club. Do you know any ball club satisfied with its pitching staff? "If we had one invincible box man, who could go into the box 40 or 50 times this season and save a game, I don't see how they could stop us." This is the line of dope one hears on every side and yet there isn't half a dozen of the select "great" pitchers in the business, with each club carrying from eight to ten men. "You can't land the money without at least one great pitcher," remarked a baseball critic. "In fact, this has been the rule for years." "I was forced to differ with the young man," says Tom Murane. "The ball team that must depend altogether on a phenomenal pitching staff is not the ideal organization. If you started to build up a winning ball team, the last thing you would think of would be the pitchers. First, you would scour the country for a fast infield that could hit. Then would come the outfield—fast ground covering outfielders, who could hit, and run bases. A catching staff would follow, and then the box men would be selected. In the early stages of the game the pitcher came first and the catcher next. One catcher did four fifths of the work behind the stick, and one pitcher with a sub did all the pitching. That is the reason we remember such players as Buck Ewing, Mike Kelly, Charles Snyder, Frank Flint, Charley Bennett and other great catchers, as well as such pitchers as Charley Radbourne, John Clarkson, Amos Rusle, Jimmie Galvin, A. G. Spalding, Bobby Mathers and other famous box men. Some of the greatest ball teams the game has produced had no star box men. One can hardly remember who did the pitching for Charley Comiskey's four-time St. Louis winners. What fan outside of Baltimore can remember the staff on the Baltimore three-time winners under Ed Hanlan? Yet where is the real fan that cannot name the other members of the orole world beaters? No club in the business has displayed the form for ten straight years that Pittsburg has, and no team has depended less on their pitching staff. Whether the pitchers were going good or bad the Pirates have always held a formidable position, depending on their ability to field and make runs. The announcement that "Red" Robert Kelly was absent from the White Sox right field on account of an injury proves to have been not quite the whole truth. The club officials forgot to add that Kelly had been stopped playing with the Sox by order of the National commission. It seems that while at Notre Dame last season Kelly got tangled up with the Holyoke club of the Connecticut league in some way. He did not sign any contract with Holyoke, but gave that club enough claim on his services to allow Holyoke to protest against his use by the Sox and it was necessary to stop him until President Comiskey can straighten out the tangle into which the collegian got himself. Negotiations to that end are in progress. For 13 years Hans Wagner has been hitting at a better than .300 clip, a feat beaten by only two men in the history of the two major leagues. They were Anson and Dan Brouthers. Anson had a .300 average for 15 years straight and Brouthers scored as high a figure for 14 years right off the reel. Waco and San Antonio, of the Tex as league, played through four and a half hours for 23 innings recently to a tle, 1 to 1, a record for the league and one of the longest games ever played in the south. Ables of San Antonio and Londell of Waco were the opposing pitchers, the former striking out 17 and allowing 16 hits, while Londell struck out 11 and allowed 16 hits. TWIN CITY STAR. A Flyer in Daisy By Leona Anstine Sutter "Whereupon you flung Billy out of the room?" There was a hint of anger in Daisy Winter's dreamy, blue eyes, a flash that made John Winters think of her mother. "Figuratively." "What right had you?" she asked, passionately. "What right? You can say nothing against him except that he is poor as you once were yourself. Poverty is no crime. Besides, Billy expects to make no end of money out of that new brokerage office he has opened. He has saved enough in the three years since they lost their money to buy his seat on the exchange—a thousand dollars—and to start in business with. He intends to make people open their eyes. He told me so last night." "Intends! Hump! There is a place paved with good intentions—do you know that, young woman?" thundered Daisy's father. At this astounding profanity the tears welled up in Daisy's eyes. Seeing which, John Winters cleared his throat. "Brace up," he said. "Brace up! And if you must marry, marry some man who can take care of you." His daughter looked at him out of scornful, hostile eyes. "I shall never marry anyone but Billy," she said decisively, and there was a little click in her voice. "When William VanAlen comes to me and shows me $15,000 in the bank to his credit you shall marry him and not one instant before," were the words which closed the conversation and stretched Daisy in full length disconsolance upon the couch. When the outer door closed behind her father, however, she sat up and wiped the tears self-pitying from her eyes and went to the telephone to confide the result of this conference to Billy. Billy was hanging over the rail of the stock exchange shouting at the top of his lusty young voice when he saw the crimson light glowing in back of his telephone number. "At 30!" he shouted as he vaulted into the booth. He took down the receiver. "Billy!" came a tremulous voice over the telephone, a voice in which Billy could hear the tears. "Yes, dear!" he questioned, anxiously. Outside the booth, pandemonium went on. Inside there was the cooling of two turtle doves. "He said—Oh, Billy!—that you had to have $15,000 in the bank before we could get married. He was perfectly awful!" The words were punctuated with sobs that tore at the youngster's heart. "Don't you worry, Daisy. I'll get it, then," he said with the optimism of youth. "I'll come up this evening and tell you how I come out today. I'm awfully muddled—fellows always are the first day—but I think I'll make some money. I've taken a little flyer in Daisy—oh, a stock, you know—and the name ought to be good luck, even if it wasn't booked for a rise. I must hang up now. I'll tell you all about it tonight." "All right. Goodby, Billy." There was still the little catch in the voice that went to Billy's heart. "Goodby, sweetheart." Billy hung up the phone and vaulted back into the arena of trade. He listened a moment, his eyes bulging with excitement. "At 33," he shouted. They were still bidding on Daisy. Not a share of stock was offered at his bid. A half hour before, he had bought a great deal of Daisy for a dollar a share. It had gone up 33 cents. Billy wondered what the "dope" was on the stock. So did every other broker on the floor. "At 34!" he screamed, his enthusiasm rising as he saw the stock becoming tight. Again there was no response to his bid and the hammer came down with a click. The stock bounded up four points in five minutes. Others started buying. The broker who was selling for John Winters bounded into a telephone booth. There he learned that his client had left the office for the day. Well, he had his orders—he handed Billy several bunches of stock between 35 and 45. Billy got the last stock he bought at 50 just as the exchange closed. His stock averaged him a dollar and twenty-five cents a share. He was a little afraid to take that at 50, but he reasoned that a stock that was held so tightly must go up in the morning, and he would get out from under at a few cents profit per share, perhaps, before he had to pay for his stock at two o'clock. If it should go down over night he had enough money in the bank to pay for his stock and hold it. although it would cripple him pretty badly. "You bought a lot of Daisy," some one said at his elbow. "Twenty thousand shares." The voice was curious. Billy wheled, suddenly startled. "Nonsense!" he said sharply. The broker who had addressed him smiled slightly. He knew to a share exactly how much of Daisy Van Alen bought. From that moment Billy's mantle of arrogance dropped from him. A half hour later when he left the stock exchange there was dejection written in every line of his form. He kept looking at a slip of paper in his hand. it was covered with figures. "Twenty-five thousand dollars." he groaned. "Good Lord, if it should go down in the morning!" He might have felt less dejected if he could have seen John Winters opening a telegram at that moment in his hotel in Baltimore. That clever financier looked thoroughly annoyed. He walked into a telephone booth and called up the broker who had his order to sell Daisy short. An animated conversation ensued, in which the broker's voice came over the phone expostulating: "But you said, sir, to give them as much Daisy as they would take. When that young Van Alen began bidding it looked like pie for you to me and I sold. What on earth is the matter?" John Winters gave a snort. "How much Daisy did that young donkey, Van Alen, buy?" he asked. "As near as I could find out he bought about twenty thousand shares. There were thirty thousand shares dealt in on the exchange and he got about two-thirds of it." John Winters whistled. Then he hung up the receiver. There was a grim smile on his face as he walked out of the booth. "That's a pretty smart young man of yours, after all," he said to Dalsy at the dinner table. "He found out, some way, ahead of any of the rest of us that Dalsy had struck a big body of ore and bought up twenty thousand shares or more of the stock, although he had to send it to a dollar and a half to do it. It will go to two dollars, perhaps three, in the morning, and he will make a nice thing. I cannot see how he got the dope. Dalsy's eyes were shining. "Oh, I always knew that Billy was the smartest thing!" she declared. The rest of the meal was eaten in silence. Dalsy was too excited to talk, her father too annoyed. Dinner had been delayed and they had just risen from the table when Billy came up the walk, moving wearily. "I congratulate you, sir," John Winters said when Billy had been led to a seat on the dwan by the delighted Daisy. "I don't know where the devil you got your dope on the stock you bought today, but you can ask your own price in the morning. I'm short twenty thousand shares and I was supposed to have the first information that came from the mine. The last I heard it was looking punk. I want to say to you, young man, that if you keep up your present luck you'll own this city before you are through." Billy was staring at his host in stupefaction. There was an idiotic smile on his face. John Winters did not notice it. "How many shares did you buy?" he demanded, and Daisy leaned forward. "Twenty thousand shares, I believe, sir," Billy replied with that same idiotic, uncomprehending smile. "What did it average you?" Billy knew that from agonized figuring. "A dollar twenty-five a share," he answered. "Good for you," John Winters exclaimed. "The strike is so rich that you can get your own price in the morning, or I'll give you two dollars a share for all you have tonight. But tell me how you got your information, you sly dog." For a moment Billy was silent, getting himself together. Then a cheerful, elusive smile replaced the one of sheer idiocy. "If you don't mind, sir, I think I would rather not divulge that, at present." "As you please, young man," John Winters said, with grudging admiration in his voice. Daisy had been busy doing a calculation in arithmetic. At last the lines between her brows dissolved. "Billy," she said, "if you get two dollars a share for your Daisy you will have that fifteen thousand dollars you need." A blush suffused her face, making it radiant. "I shall have seventeen thousand, six hundred dollars, to be exact," he said, with conscious pride. "I had twenty-six hundred to begin with." With an ecstatic little cry Daisy threw herself in his arms. "And I will keep my word," John Winters said from the door. "Why, you can buy and sell me in a year, young man." A half hour later Daisy wiggled from Billy's ardent clasp to ask, curiously: "William Van Alen, where did you find out about that strike? Tell me this instant." "Promise you'll never tell?" he demanded. Daisy promised solemnly. "Well, then, I didn't find out at all. I bought Daisy because I thought there would be luck for me in the name. I was green and didn't know the vernacular of the exchange very well, and they handed me thousands when I thought I was buying hundreds. I thought I had bought two hundred shares and I had bought twenty. You see, if you say at so much and do not specify the amount they hand it to you in thousand share blocks." A peal of silvery laughter rang out. "And up there at the mine they went and struck a sweet body of ore to help you out," she said. Billy caught her in his arms again. "Yes, sweetheart," he said, "but suppose they hadn't and the stock had gone down." Daisy considered a moment. "We'll never in this world tell father," she said with conviction. "It would be terrible to spoil his good opinion." IN THE WHITE MOUNTAINS THE ROCKY RIDGE AFTER sitting over a desk eleven months without a moment's respite, I knew that I must have some diversion from my unremitting toll; In fact a vacation was imperative, and I determined to get out at once. My mecca was and ever will be the White mountains, and to their peaceful, restful solitude I fled, taking with me only a short skirt, sweater and heavy boots for mountain climbing. My funds would not permit me to locate at even the smaller hotels, and hearing of a quiet farmhouse in the town of Kearsarge, I secured board and settled down for the time of my life. Although very tired and weary from my long journey, I awoke next morning bright and early, refreshed and ready for mountain climbing, for it must be remembered that the invigorating air of old New Hampshire hills has a sudden as well as permanent effect. I did Kearsarge easily, a steady climb of three miles, hard miles, too, but well worth the effort when one considers the delightful view awaiting the climber—Portland harbor, Poland springs, Songo river, Sebago lake and many other smaller lakes in Maine. The day was intensely clear, and we had no difficulty, in discerning people moving about on Mount Washington—could even distinguish men from women. A house on top of the mountain affords shelter if one cares to stop over night to see the sun rise, and food is also obtainable at the same shack. After a day and night on Kearsarge, we (I say we, for I met the most delightful people imaginable at the farmhouse), planned to have a quiet day with only a short walk, and after a late breakfast went to Mount Surprise, less than a mile, which, in climbing, seems little more than a hill. But on reaching the summit behold the splendor of it all! The magnificent view is one long to be remembered; the Presidential range, with old Mount Washington the banner peak, plainly in the distance presents a picture not easily described. The awful grandeur of those gigantic monuments that have stood for centuries, in sharp contrast to the peaceful valley below, dotted with its little hamlets, forms a spec tacle that any words of mine would be utterly inadequate to portray. Loth to leave this glorious scene, we descended the mountain and made for the Cathedral woods near by, and there in the heat of the day we were in the most beautiful pine woods in New England, the tall and stately monarchs standing in row resembling the pillars of a cathedral, hence the name. Surely this was a haven of rest for a weary body, and a tired brain; rustic seats, the most luxurious carpet of pine needles, the gentle yet constant murmur of the swaying pines and the never-ending notes of the songbrids. It seemed like a spot enchanted, where we should speak and move reverently. Reluctantly we left this seemingly hallowed wood, resolving to spend as many hours there as our limited time would permit. Then a day was reserved for a visit to Bretton woods, over the Maine Central railroad, through the famous Crawford Notch, a trip which cannot be excelled in grandeur east of the Rockies. This stony pass was discovered in 1772 by a hunter named Nash, and in 1803 a road was made through the Notch as far as Bartlett at a cost of $40,000, one of the most daring ventures ever conceived by man. Upon entering the lower gateway of the Notch, on the right is to be seen Mount Webster with its slide-torn sides, on the left Mount Willey ascending abruptly from the forest, and in front Mount Willard with its tilted cliffs. I shall not attempt to describe the solemn majesty of those mountains, each grander than the other because of some particular charm of its own. As the train, climbing upward, winds around Mount Willey, clinging to the stupendous cliffs, an excellent view is afforded of the old Willey house site, a long yellow barn being the only landmark left to tell the tale of long ago. 1793 the old Willey house was built, and in 1826 Samuel Willey, Jr., resided there with his family, and at this hospitable board traders passing through the Notch were housed and also fed. In the middle of August the same year there was a terrific rainfall, and owing to the intense heat and dry weather which had prevailed, the ground was baked to a powder, and when the awful avalanche of earth and rock became loosened, it came down with terrific force, sweeping everything in its course. The slide started from Mount Willey in a fearful mountain storm during the night, at just what hour no one will ever know. It is evident that the terrified family foresaw the appalling danger that menaced them, for they fled for their lives to the open and were never again seen alive. The finding of the bodies revealed but too plainly the fact that they had been swallowed up by the avalanche. Three miles farther on is the Crawford house, charmingly situated and homelike, with broad verandas, delightful walks and drives, and affording an excellent view of the Notch. As the train moves on, now on a downward grade, we are accorded a fine view of the new Mount Washington house, one-quarter mile to the right, on the Malne Central. This collossal structure, a veritable palace, is the most magnificent inland hotel in New England, a little city in itself, unique in its appointments, being equipped with millinery, gents' furnishing goods departments, etc. There is also a stock exchange connected with Wall street, and not a little anxiety was apparent on the faces of some of the men who watched the man with the chalk. The hotel has a capacity for accommodating 1,200 guests, and though built but three years, the managers have found it necessary to build greater. As we walked down "Millionaire Row" with its exquisite furnishings, listening to the sweet strains of the orchestra, we realized fully the power of mammon. A few more puffs of the iron horse, and we are in close proximity to the Mount Pleasant house, one of the most popular hotels in the mountains. Here we have a superb view of the Mount Washington railway, the trains being distinctly visible. The train is now moving on a downward grade of 80 feet to the mile, and before we realize it we are at the picturesque Fabyan house, from which point we boarded the observation car for the base of Mount Washington, where we were transferred to a coach, with the engine in the rear, and step by step we climbed Jacob's Ladder, a distance of three miles, with an average grade of 1,300 feet to the mile, requiring one and one-half hours to reach the summit. On its most formidable grade, 1,980 feet to the mile, the ascent is slow and the engine breathes hard. The change in the atmosphere was very perceptible—it was cold as November. After a few days' sightseeing around Kearsarge, interspersed with five and ten-mile walks, for everybody walks in the mountains, we took advantage of the celebrated drives known as the Dundee drive, White Horse ledge, Diana's Bath, Bartlett bowler, etc. The time was nearing when I must retrace my way homeward, and I had not seen the cardinal wonder of the New Hampshire highlands—the "Old Man of the Mountain." Getting the party together again at the farmhouse, we again went to Fabyans, where we connected with the Boston & Maine for Littleton, one of the cleanest, most beautiful towns in the Granite state, and from here drove to Franconia Notch where is to be seen the most sublime and imposing spectacle that greets the eye in any part of the White mountain system. No words can describe, no language can depict the awful grandeur, the ineffable beauty of that scene. The autumn sun was slowly setting and its last rays lent a softness to that old stone face that will ever linger in my memory. The sunlight and shadows of a closing day lay softly and peacefully on Lafayette and Cannon mountains, reflecting their gorgeous splendor in the silvery lake beneath, while that face, almost human in expression, 1,200 feet above the base of Mount Cannon, as though guarding the little summer collybel below, appeared to invite one and all to tarry and rest. The last few days had revealed much of beauty, but nothing comparable with this. It was wonderful, entrancing, awful, in its imposing magnificence, and that glorious picture will ever appeal to me as being one of the grandest and best of God's handwork. HELEN B.

KELLEY, General Representative "Head of Lakes", Duluth, Minn. "The lynching of white men is now one of the latest American fads. Well the white people of this country are progressive. It is natural that they would enjoy the swinging up of a "clean white man" better than the burning of "a dirty negro." It may not be as nauseating. And the latter had become too common. Roosevelt's "revised edition" of the Practical Policies of the Progressive Party is due, who said that Teddy wouldn't "come back"? He said so. But Willie called him. TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN.

The colored people of the Twin Cities" are to be commended for their conduct before the Jeffries-Johnson fight—and for their actions since the battle, which has proven that they knew what was coming. We didn't have any "killings" or "lynchings" here. But could have had a few, (caused by that class of both races, who are the exceptions), but the fair-minded citizens of our city, took the affair good naturally. Along Washington Avenue there were large crowds of white people who seemed to be enjoying the sight of "the Johnson followers in their merriment" and a colored man was never in danger. There are times when we may cause a riot by giving heed to some sarcastic remark from one of the other race, and by arguments lead on to fights, etc. The better policy is to resent insults, (and every reference to Johnson is not intended as such) then and there, either by word or blows, but do not have "OPEN AIR ARGUMENTS" or "Jack Johnson Lectures" in public places or conveyances. You can't inform anybody how it happened. They have read and they have seen the photos of the fight. The people of the Twin Cities are on record for their conduct, during this clamor, and they cannot be placed on the list of cities where riot reigned, and law and order was disregarded. Why was it? Well, they won on Johnson—and John A. Johnson's name looks good in these parts. You know why. BARRON WILKING STILL OPEN. Judge Hendrix of the Supreme Court of N. Y. handed down a decision, granting a stay of proceedings in the Excise License Case, against "Wilkin's Café" until Oct. 1st. This means that he will be open until then. THE ST. PAUL DAILY NEWS SAYS "Is this the way our colored brother is going to act when he gets to the front in anything?" Has he never been to the front in anything. Did you know that this country has had wars and the negro was "always to the front", and he got to the front at San Juan, but only through Divine Providence. Read Sullivan's back numbers, and ask no questions. Mr. Johnson has been offered $75,000 for a nine months' tour of England. It may seem but a trifle to him, but this nation has employed some high-grade presidents for less.—Chicago Daily News. Fully 10,000 persons, for the most part negroes, welcomed Jack Johnson, the colored heavyweight champion pugilist, when he arrived in New York from Chicago. Johnson was nearly mobbed by his admirers, and the police were forced to use their night sticks to get him through the crowd. Big crowds also greeted the champion outside and inside the Hammersstein Victoria, where Johnson is playing. These latter crowds were about 80 per cent composed of white people. No racial feeling against Johnson was displayed. SEVEN IN DRAGNET Colored Places on Western Ave. Raided by Police. Seven colored persons were arrested Monday night in a raid by Rondo police station officers on an alleged disorderly house at 547 Western ave. Mrs. F. Banks was charged with keeping it. Bendola Buren and Cappy Sweeney, Mr. and Mrs. A. White, F. S. Carver and J. M. Smith were accused of disorderly conduct. The cases were continued in police court today. The above article appeared in the Evening Daily News of July 19. The correspondent wishes to state that this sort of thing should not exist in this or any other respectable community, surrounded as it is in this particular place by many of our best law-abiding and upright colored citizens and we should do all in our power to prevent those members of our race who do not conduct themselves as ladies and gentlemen from conducting immoral resorts, private or public, in any respectable residence community. But if we sit quietly by and do not protest to the police authorities we can hope for nothing better, do not wait until our white friends complain but let us nip it in the bud. They have shown sporting fight pictures, only 2 scenes: Jack entering the ring. Referee stopping the "murder." That's all.

Chicago, July 19.-Colored baseball teams, including the Cuban ball teams will hereafter be barred from participation in games with teams of the Chicago Baseball league. This unexpected action was taken yesterday at the regular meeting of the organization, and is peculiar in that the Chicago Glants, a colored team, will remain in the league. The only reason assigned for the move is that the Cuban teams have been overrunning local territory for the last two years, and the bars are up principally against them. The ruling will work a hardship on the Start of Cuba, who have been figuring upon playing the Chicago league circuit after the Cuban Stars finish their present series. Spike Anderson the well known Twin City outfield Star who has managed several League clubs has gotten together an aggregation of bright Stars carefully selecting his team, signing up several St. Paul and Minneapolis stars. Among them is our own Star Billy Williams, special messenger to Gov. Eberhart, who is considered one of the greatest colored ball players in the world, all of other members of this team are white. The Star correspondent wishes Billy good luck, we will always be on top with half a chance. Lee Herrow, "the song writer" is playing at the "Wet Goods" "Cafe." "The Shaws" will leave soon.
