The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1904-08-20

The Maryland Jim Grow car law is
not working out just as its Democratic
authors intended. They imagined
that they could enforce it's infamous
provisions not only on Maryland way
passengers but on interstate passen-
gers as we'll. Intelligent Afro-Ameri-
cans from other states travelling in
Maryland have refused to go into the
pens provided for. the race and have
insisted upon their rights to such pur-
pose that the railroads have issued or
ders to conductors to allow colored
passengers to sit in any car on
trains. The separation of the
races is continued on accommodation
trains. The indignities to which the
people have been sub
jected will be wiped away when the
rule the state.

The Uses OF Kites.

Kites are destined to play part in
sport. They have been great Sue
cess as a means to stop cartridges ris-
ing and flying from cover where it
is wished to keep them for shooting
the birds will not rise when kites are
above their heads, fearing, doubtless,
attack. And now the kite has been
used for fishing. The credit of dis
covering the possibilities of air line
fishing is due to Edward Horseman,
the great kite expert and manufac-
turer. The advantage of fishing from
a kite is that the fisherman may stand
on the shore whilst his bait is dropped
far out at sea; also that timid fish
are not scared by seeing fishing rods
or boats when the airline is used.
For kite fishing strong kites are
flown, the string carrying small pull
ley, through which the fish line runs.
one end Of the fish line is held by the
fisherman on shore, the other, which
is weighted, drops from the pulley
as the ascent is made, and dips into
the sea. At the moment when a fish
snaps at the bait and is hooked the
fisherman feels the pull on his line,
the kite is quickly hauled in, and the
fish is dragged in at the same time.
Mr.. Horsman has caught many fine
sea fish in this way

Free Lunches in Saloons,

Various young peoples Christian Or
CARNATIONS connected with churches of
Philadelphia filed a petition in the
Quarter Sessions court recently re-
questing the judges of the License
court to put an end to the free lunches
in saloons. According to the petition
ers the free lunch business is grow
ing and is becoming great cause of
drunkenness. The petitioners attach
to their petition ruling of the Berks
County court made on March %, 1900,
in which free lunches are held to be
unlawful. Under the decision lunches
furnished for nominal sum are free
lunches, but '*pretzels, crackers, and
bits of cheese, set out upon the bar,
or served to customers with drinks,
do not constitute lunch"

'There are many kinds of spiders
besides those that annoy the house
wife with their webs stuck up in the
corners of the rooms and in the win
dows where she has been too busy
with the sewing to look after the
house much" says a recent writer on
scientific subjects" but every kind
is an appetite on eight legs and thor
Oughly convinced that no one can be
strong and hearty that lives on vege-
tables. They all spin more or less,
whence their name, which is a con-
traction of spinder Or spinner. Also,
they bite, and if you listen to all the
: fool stories that are told, when
spider bites you you will save time by
sending for the lawyer to make your
will and telegraph for the boys to
come home at once if they want to
see you alive. But I will tell you as
between educated people that know
thing or two and do not get scared
over every little trifle that a spiders
bite is no worse than a mosquitoes
not so bad, in fact. A big spider can
kill small bird with it's poison, but
it only makes a mans arm swell up
and hurt for a day or less and not
hurt very much at that. Bertkau
could not feel the ordinary domestic
spider on the thick skin of his hand,
and only between the fingers could
the spider make a puncture like that
of dull pin. The worse result was
that it itched little. Blackwell had
them draw blood, but that was all.
Though one spider bit another SO
hard that it's liver ran out it lived
for more than year aftefward. AS
for these terrible tarantulas, either the
stories told about victims having to
dance till they fell down in exhaus-
ton in order to escape death and
madness were tremendous Whoppers
or tarantulas don't bite as bad as they
used to. It is true that in those days
the Italian violinists had to work
overtime composing tarantelles to
play for the bitten, but still there were
sneering skeptics that said it was all
a scheme got UP to pass the hat for
the wife and family of the suffering
man whom malignant spider had
bitten while he was out looking for a
job Dufour had tarantula that was
quite tame and gentle. She took flies
from his fingers like dear thing"
