Our Seven Wonders.

The seven woundar5 OF the world
in ancient times, were the pyramids
of Egypt, tho Pharos Of Alexandra,
the walls and hanging gardens Of
Babylon, the Temple of Diana, the
statue of the 0lympian Jupiter, the
Mausoleum of Artemisia, and the
COLOSSUS of Rhodes.
The seven wonders Of the world in
modern times are the printing press,
the steam engine, the spinning jen-
ny, the telephone, the photograph,
telegraph, and electric light.
The so called "seyen wondersr of
the ancients are mere trifles compar-
ed with those Of the present time.
The Brooklyn bridge, for example,
would make the hanging gardens Of
Babylon mere toy, while the whole
seven wonders put together would
sink into insigniiicance, could their
builders have seen lightning ex-

Summer Noon.

A summer noon is tLis,
The trees are breathless, every ore :;
Underneath the shadow is,
And overhead the sun.
No mowers in the mead,
No children on the green at play
Listless drops the thistle seed
Beside the travelled way.
Alone the butterfly
Floats dreamily in lower air,
And the circling hawk on high
Is all that's moving there.
The brook runs ever by,
But seems to pause the while it flows
IT'S more like line of sky,
So placidly it goes.

CIVIL RIGHTS.

Meeting of the Executive Committee
Appointed by the COiored Convention
at Louisville.
WASHINGTON, December 10.-The execu-
tive committee appointed by the Colored
| National Convention at Louisville, KY,
which consists of two delegates from each
State, met to-day in this city. Chairman
Pledger, of Atlanta, called the committee
to order, and the roll of States being called,
the following responded by delegates or
pooXy: Alabama, Georgia, District of Co.
lumbia. Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Mas
sachusetts, Missouri, North Carolina,
Texas, Virginia, New York, and
New Jersey. The chairman stated that
since the meeting Of the convention the
civil rights decision OF the Supreme Court
caused considerable agitation among the
colored people, and this no doubt will in
Cideutally affect the discussions OF the
present meeting, but the members should
not lose sight OF the main principles enun-
| ciated by the Louisville convention. He
suggested that 4 subcommittee be APP
pointed to draw up memorial for presen-
tation to Congress; also one rec
ommending a policy in regard to
politics, if anv, the committee should
| adopt. Fred Douglas came in during the
| discussion, and said the public mind was
largely divided on the recent decision
of the Supreme Court He therefore sug-
gested, if unanimous Endorsement was
possible bv the committee, in view of the
dissenting opinion of Justice Harlan, it
would be graceful thing for the csmmit-
tee TO take such action. In view of the
present political situation he thought it
would be well for them to hold a national
convention Just prior to those of the great
political parties. Mr.. Scott, of Illinois,
offered Il resolution indorsing the civil
rights resolution recently offered in the
Senate which was referred TO a committee.
\ committee was appointed to prepare
an address to the public on the subject of
the recent killing of negroes in Virginia.
The chairman was instructed to call on
the President and ask him to name a day
when it will be convenient for the COM
mittee to call and pay their respects.
Adjourned,

BIRMINGHAM. ALA.
The Grand Jury and the Breaking OF
JaiI-..The Negro and His Future.''

Special 10 the Appeal
BiRStNGttAM, December IA fight oc-
Cured this morning at hillmdh, nine
miles down the Alabama Great Southern
railroad, between two negro miners by
the name of Ballard Reford and Allen
McLemore. The latter was cut six times
and so badly that his recovery is con.
sidered doubtful. Reford was brought
here ttf@igiit and confined in the Jail. The
fight was dccasioned by disptte oset a
game of cards.
The Circuit Court adjourned without
reaching any OF the cases presented by the
grand jury for the breaking open of the jail
by the nsOb in search of the rapist Wesley
Posey, but arrests have been made in
eight OF these cases and two men jailed.
1t looks as though the prosecution of these
offenders will not be the tentative process
too common in such cases.
The condition in which the Circuit
Cottrt left the docket demonstrates more
clearly than ever before the need OF sep
arate court for Birmingham. The lawyers
have insisted for some time that sIich a
court ought TO be created, to hold at least
monthly sessions, if not kept open all the
time, and, with the present urgency as an
argument, the Legislature can doubtless
be prevailed upon.
The Rev. Mr.. Price. president of Zion
Wesley Institute, of Salisbury, n. c., and a
full-blooded negro, delivered an admirable
address at the Courthouse Monday even.
ing, on "The Negro, His Future and His
Work" His remarks on the capabilities
intellectual, moral and physical, OF his
race, shows careful study and a mind o.
first-rate logical grasp. The diction wa:
more than forcible, it was genuinely elo
quent. The argument was mainly in
proof OF the neero's powers and correct
constitution in mind and conscience.

STREET SCENES
OF the First Real Wintry Day of the
Season.

Yesterday was a real winter day-the
first OF the season-sleet and driZZling
rain, followed by fine shower of snow
fell during the night, and the streets, the
housetops and the trees, when daylight
came, were covered with a thin, glazed
white sheet. The air all day was cold and
piercing, and the sky of dull, leaden hue
1t was astonishing how many people, hun
dreds of ladies among them, were obliged
to appear on the streets, and the conse-
quence was that they were brisk and
lively and even gay at times. Every man
who owned an overcoat wore it buttoned
up to the chin, his hands away down deep
in his pockets. The pavements were slip
perry and treacherous, and were made more
so by the youngsters who thought 1t bet
ter to slide along, sometimes on their
heads, than to navigate like other people.
There were the usual number of ridicu-
lous accidents, though nobody was very
badly hurt so far as heard from. \ sweet
young thing, when walking down Adams
street was ir the act of claiming the ad-
thorship of the Beautiful Snow" when
retributive justice slet her down on the
cold, cold fiagstones very hard. The most
touching spectacle of the day was a couple
of young men with stovepipe hats, who
colleidd on Madison street and waltzed of
eccentrically into the gutter.
The street-car drivers and teamsters gen.
orally, had the hardest time of all. They
kept themselves as warm as they could
with gloves and big boots and heavy coats
but it was not an unusual thing to see an
icicle on the end of drivers nose. Take
it all together the first winter day was not
a cherry one, in spite of the proximity oi
Christmas.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
Henry Craft. Lr.. Disciaims the Author
ship OF "Blighted Hopes"
r, tha EJitnrs Of Tho

ship of "Blighted Hopes.
To the Editors of the Appeal:
GAINESVILLE. Tenn, December ISL
have Just read the editorial in last sun
days ArPENL, prompted by your belief
that | was the author of the beautiful
poem which you copy under the heading.
"Blighted Hopes" | hasten to say, that
while l am very grateful for your praise, it
is uuworthily bestowed upon me. The
poem was published in our little society
magazine, the Washington bring SiyBct,
which You SO kindly notice, with the ini-
tials I'll. c." attached to it. AS | am one
of the editors of the magazine, this coin
cidence of initials has gained for me the
undeserved credit. II was transferred to
the Siqnei, with those initials, from Mis-
sissippi paper. Upon looking back to
that paper find that the poem is attrib-
uted TO Lieut.. Robert Emmett Hooe, of the
United States navy. He seems to have
died in 1924, and think it possible that
Wilde's poem is the imitation instead of
his. You may speak advisedly, however, in
assigning the priority of date to Wilde.
The singular beauty and touching pathos
of Lieut.. Hooe's verses certainly entitle
them to place in standard collections of
American poetry, but | have not found
them in any book. No doubt many OF
your readers have seen thcp before in
newspapers. II is said that Lieut.. Hooes
life was mournful drama, and these
plaintive lines were the last utterances OF
breaking heart. In an unfortunate
quarrel or duel he took the life of a fellow
officer, and, though houorably acquitted
on a trial. the sorrow fastened him to his
grave. lie died, l think, on shipboard, or
just after reaching New York, when re-
turning to the home which he longed 10
see once more.
Please allow me space for this disclaimer,
and for my thanks that your good opinion
admitted the possibility of my being the
author OF such poetry. Respectfully,

to lecture and then proceeding to ''di-
vide time" with the speaker; but he did
very well. 'sI have nothing to ada,'p he
quietly said, "to what has baen said by
those who have preceded me. have been
much pleased with the evenings enter
tainment;" and then he So. Gown. This
exhausted tic nst of speakers from the
rr,..@ttorm. Mr. Chandler looked over the
audience.
81 see one distinguished colored fellow
citizen present." he added, pointing to
Frederick Douglass, who sat in the atidi-
enre. "Wheh Mr.. Douglass finishes, it
win be IN order for him to move vote of
thankS.' - :.
When douglass. rose, cries OF "Plat-
form, Platform" were heard, but Doug
lass refused to leave his place. "For me,
l have no desire to take any ground in
opposition to the sentiments advanced by
the distinguished gentleman who has ad-
dressed Us. /, therefore, move vote oil
thanks to Mr.. Arnold"
Those in favor of themotion will rise, "
said the Secretary, and the audience rose.
Glad of this excuse, they poured, out OF
the hall, leaving Mrsz szGhdndlef ana Mi
Arnold on the stage. TlyeAlatter seemed
entirely at loss how to account for this
attempt to turn his lecture into lyeeum
and those present were loud in their criti-
| cism OF this strange action on Mr.. Chan
dler's part. Some say it was meant for a
4 joke. III SO, it was one which Mr.. Arnold
! will not be likely soon to forget. These
| unadyertised. proceedings lasted more
than hall an hour.
