being, viz; First day, last day and
wedding day. The first day and the
last day they have no control Of, these
are governed entirely by the Divine
Ruler, but the wedding day is gener-
ally Of their own choosing and is most
important. Every one does not have
a wedding day, but there are quite a

SATURDAY, MAY 8, 1913.

For years THE APPEAL has con-
tended that persons who are arrested
as suspected criminals but who are
innocent of the crime charged should
have some redress, which is not now
the case. 1t seems however that the
New York Legislature has turned to
our way of thinking as a bill was
passed in the lower house this week
to pay $1.O0 per day for each days
imprisonment to persons who are
pardoned by the governor and who are
in his opinion innocent. The bill will
also allow such persons to apply to
the board of claims for additional
damages.

'Despise not the day of small
things is an old time motto, and the
wisdom of it was proven a few days
since, when Mrs. Matilda Wynne, of
Oyster Bay, L. I. died and left $4,000
to be divided between her husband,
seven nephews and three nieces. She
was an Afro-American and had made
this money by washing and ironing
during her life time.

the evidence which it has afforded that
