The Quinn Chapel congregation is
among the most thrifty and intelligent
of Chicago's Afro-American citizens
and should be encouraged by the peo-
pie of Chicago. The church has an
excellent Sunday school with the other
t1ourishing societies, Lyceum, ETC..
This society has had fifty years of
eventful history It has purchased four
lots, erected four buildings for wor-
ship, suffering the destruction of two
church buildings by fire, removed eight
times, and under the Methodist itin-
Grant custom had twenty-five changes
of pastors, some of them being scholar

a handsaw knows that is false. The
main incentive for lynching seems not
to be the crime alleged to have been
committed but the fact that the &C
cused or suspected is an Afro-Ameri-
can. This feeling is thought to pre-
vail only in the South, but that is far
from the truth. 1t is in the North
just as we'll though perhaps not quite
so prevalent. Only few days ago in
Glenwood, Pa, an Afro-American
named Dan Scott was charged with
having shot a man in a row over a
game of "chuck-a-luck." The police
arrived in time to rescue him, and a
magistrate subsequently released him
as there was no evidence that he had
done. the shooting. But for the timely
appearance of the police another in
nocent man would have been sent over
the lynching route to join the hun
dreds of his brothers gone before who
were guilty of no crime but having
been born black.

"A TERRIBLE MISTAKE."

What the ST. Louis papers call a
terrible mistake was made in that
city recently. Mrs. Joseph Cappells
and her sister, Miss Florence Spell
man, although of pure Caucasian an
cestry, happen to have very dark COM
plexions. A few nights since, the
weather being very warm, they decid-
ed to visit the Suburban Garden. It
is memorable rule at the Suburban not
to accept the patronage of Afro-
Americans. The two ladies seated
themselves at the table and ordered
ice cream. A waiter served it and
they paid for it. Just then man
who said he was the head waiter came
to them and said they would have to
move on; that Mr.. Jannopoulo (the
foreigner proprietary. would not suffer
ringers" to be served in the garden:
The ladies protested and the head
waiter went away and got a man
dressed as policeman, who told them
that they must get out; that 'tniggers''
could not remain in the garden. The
waiter threw the money they had paid
him on the table, A crowd had gath
cred by this time and the ladies were
deeply Inundated. They could do
nothing but submit, however, and they
left the garden. The ladies will sue
for damages.
Mrs. Cappells and Miss Spellman
ought to be able to sympathize with
their sisters in black after their try
ing experience. They know now what
some ladies of refinement who happen
to have Negro blood in their veins
have to suffer. In the future they
ought to be enthusiastic champions of
the rights of all people, without regard
to color, in places of public resort.
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1899-07-22

would be glad to have them annexed,
but with the outrageously unjust and
inhuman manner Americans to
the manor born are treated here before
our eyes, we cannot wish to have these
dark skinned people brought under
this government. If this government
is powerless '(?) to protect the Afro
Americans of the south right under
it's very nose, what show will those
people so far away have for those al
legged inalienable rights, life, liberty
and the pursuits of happiness which is
vouchedsafe CD to every citizen of this
country. This is the only country
which hangs it's banner on the out
ward walls inscribed: "This is the Ha-
ven Of Rest for the Dowd-Trodden
and Oppressed of All Nations" But
we very much fear that the rest those
Philippines will get will be like that
of the Indian, the Chinese and the
Afro-American, and that's dad.

Anew Afro-Americans used to congregate
at Days house to hold prayer meetings.
This house becoming too small, the
meetings were removed to the house OF
Maria Parker who lived adjoining Days.
Maria Parker had daughter, Mrs
Anna Fulton, the Oldest member of Quinn

meeting assembly having grown to the

SATURDAY JULY %, 1899,

Having been born in this country
of parents whose. parents were also
born in this country, we feel that no
one in this country is more entitled to
claim to be an American. And as an
American we are justly proud of this
great and glorious country of uor birth
and we rejoice to see the wonderful
progress she has made. We are for and
with her in all things which are right
and only such things which are right,
and any one who is for any more than
that is wrong. We don't believe the
action of this country in regard to
the Philippines is right and we don't
believe the heads of the government
do either, but having put their hands
to the pillow they are not inclined to
turn back. The ultimate outcome may
better the condition of affairs, for by
the time the war is ended they will
have more respect for the Philippine
than they had before the war began
and which they thought would be end
ed in a few days, but which further
from being ended than ever. If we
could hope that the natives Of that
