The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1912-08-10

At the recent session of the Inter-
national Bible Students Association at
Washington, D. c., a resolution was
adopted repudiating as thoroughly I'M
scriptural "the teaching of place,
state or condition of hell-fre and
birthstone for the torment of the
wicked" This was very consoling to
many of the people who don't care to
be worried about their future so much
and cannot conceive of a God who is
all Love, Furnishing His children in any
such manner. But it did not suit
some Of the Afro-American brethren,
so they set apart last Sunday as Hell
fire Day." Rev. Simon P. w. Drew
of the Cosmopolitan Baptist church,
announced that he would preach in the
forenoon on 'The Key to HE'LL and
in the evening on "Hell-With Fire in
1t, Too" We don't know what the out
come was, but he no doubt made
things very warm for some of his hear
ers.

Woman Fights Bulldog to Save Kittens Life

There was a small kitten in the al
ley, and Miss Throckmorton and the
bulldog saw the kitten at about the
same time, it is stated. Miss Throck-
morton called to Wells to hold back
the dog, and ran toward the helpless
little kitten. But Wells, it is said, did
not hold the dog, so Miss Throckmor-
ton, who loves but does not fear
beasts, she stated, seized the bulldog
by the neck.
Miss Throckm orton's strength was
not an equal match for the dog, and
Wells, it was said, did not help her
but only cried out warningly that the
dog would hurt her.
Finally the bulldog got away from
Miss Throckmorton, and with one
crunch of his powerful jaws, and one
shake of his massive head, ended all
and every, singly, separately and in
dividually, nine lives of the kitten.
Then Miss Throckmorton swore the
warrant against Wells and Miss Hin
kle She said she did not think that
persons ought to be allowed to per.
nit such dangerous animals as the
bulldog to be at large without being
muzzled.
Judge Pugh, who tried the case,
fined Wells $40 for cruelty to animals,
and fined Miss Hinkle IS for allowing
the dog to be at large unmuzzled and
without a leash.

said, discussing the subject. "They
are out Of date. The fights are ex-
pensive for the railway company, and
the Washington Railway and Electric
company, for one, intends in the flu.
ture to pay such claims when they are
sincere and just without the formality
and expense of legal prosecution and
defense.
"The modern policy is to keep GUS
toners Of a public service corpora
ton in good humor-to keep them as
customers, and not antagonize them. I
think most large public service cor
porations are coming to understand
that principle and are putting it into
practice"
So, madam, If the conductor starts
his car before your black net theater
gown is unlocked from the steps, and
rips it off you, do not sit down and
weep or get your husband to swear for
you. Just step up to Mr.. Whitehead's
Office. "Everybody's dom 1t now" Or
you, sir, If your arm is wrenched from
the socket; and you .4cannot,4work for
some time, just tell Mr.. Whitehead,
and he will ask DR.. Glazebrook, the
company's physician, to communicate
with your physician, and that will be
all there will be to it.
It's the latest thing out.

Banks May Adopt the Finger Print System

The chance of making mistake on
finger print is said to be very re-
mote. In the first place, the marks on
persons fingers or hand never
change during life, and in the second
place, there is only one chance in six
ty-two billions, it has been estimated,
where two persons would develop the
same finger prints. Heretofore, the
finger print method has been used
almost, exclusively by the police. AS
a part Of the Bertillon system it has
been used to trace criminals. The po-
lice are accustomed to taking impress
sions Of the thumbs and the fingers of
both hands, but the savings banks do
not go that far.
They take prints of the first three
fingers on the right hand, emitting the
thumb. These prints are made with in
delible ink on card which is filed
away along with the depositor's name
and pedigree. When he presents his
bank book to draw out his account he
is questioned as to his pedigree.
Should his questions prove unsatisfac-
tory he is then asked to make a du-
plicate finger print for the purpose of
comparison. This is done by. simply
sprinkling black powder on the moist
ure left by the fingers on bank
card. When the powder is blown off
the print remains and the comparison
can then be made.

GIories Of Mems Hose Tempt Their Wives

EOR months the husbands of Wash
1ngton have wondered why the
sock boxes" which adorn their chif-
foniers have always been empty.
Wives when questioned have re-
sponded: your socks are all dirty,
dear. Why don't you think to put
them in the wash and then you need
not growl about them every day or
So" ..a..
In his ignorance the husband has
ceased to ''growl" and made the best
of it, usually buying fresh supply on
his way down town. The mistress OF
the household has kept a straight face
and said nothing.
But stolen socks, like murder, will
out, and thousands Of former "growl-
ers'' will know what has become of
the "sobbing hose which in times past
have vanished from their wardrobes
OF dressing tables.
Saleswomen in the hosiery depart
ments the other day explained away
the mystery. Appropriated and not
dirty" is the word which is the key
to the situation in short. Washington
women have been and are now wear
ing their husbands socks. And one
of mans last claims to superiority
has been taken from him without his
knowledge.

C1NGER PRINTS as a means of iden-
i tifying depositors who cannot write
their names may be adopted by Wash
ington Banks. Among the patrons of
the banks, especially of those which
do savings business, the proportion
of illiterates is considerable, it was
said by bankers the other day, and
tho fact that some of the Brooklyn
banks have adopted the system of
finger print signatures for their illit-
crate customers has suggested to To-
cal bankers that the plan might be
feasible for meeting conditions here.
G. L. Bowman, cashier of the Union
Savings bank, said he believed the fin
ger print system of signatures was
practicable, but he did not know if it
was needed in Washington.
The finger print system has proved
not only popular with the officers of
Brooklyn savings institutions, but also
has proved an unfailing method of es-

TIE BROTHERHOOD OF MAN.

On last Sunday, in Chicago Lawn
Congregational church, the widow of
DR.. H. w. Thomas read sermon that
was delivered by him in 1898, on the
occasion of the opening of the Worlds
Columbian Exposition, entitled, "The
Universal Brotherhood of Man." In
the audience of over 1000 persons who
heard the original sermon there were
representatives of every race and ma
ton in the world. 1t was plea for
the abolition of race prejudice and an
exposition of the common interests of
all human beings. The sermon was a
remarkable one in the undisputable
facts it contained. 1t said: THE hui
man mind is the same wherever hui
man beings live. 1t puts men on
common plane, above every other form
of life or matter. Be he European,
Celestial, Jew or African, he stands
above everything around him, HUI
man conscience is the same every
where. 1t tells every human being to
do what he thinks is right. 1t is the
common possession of men of every
race and stage of civilization. Affec-

"Of course women are wearing mems

sylvania avenue department store the
other day. "Society women are wear

days and holding them up with their

If the men had only been content
to wear plain hosiery all would have
been well. They clamored for color
and figure, however. The garden, the
rainbow, the peacock were robbed for
color schemes for masculine hose. The
women became envious. The shades
to which they had access were dull
and tame. Boldly they reached out and
began wearing mems half hose in all
their gaudy colors.

SOUNDS THE KEYNOTE.

Upon the solid rock of the
rights Of the individual as grant
ed by the Constitution, the Re-
publican party builds it's struc-
ture of optimism. The Demo-
cratic party, on the other hand,
in the opening sentence of it's
address to the electorate, be-
trays its occasional quality by
denying the right of Congress, a
right again and again confirmed
by the Supreme Court, to estab-
lish protective duties for the ben
eft Of American industries. 1t de-
cIares as false the vital issue of
the constitutional liberties of the
individual. Such liberties are
now assaiIed by those who advo-
cate the overthrow of the indie
pendence of the judiciary. 1t

fenseless in the protection of
those rights declared inaIienable
