Letter From Canada.
Windsor, Ont, Sept. 18th. We left
Chicago, Aug. 27th, and arrived at De
tioit the following day, crossed over to
Windsor, where we found many old
friends and acquaintances who gave us
a heaity welcome. "We spent several
days as the guests of Mr. and Mis.
Brown. Windsor is a progressive point
of view, can be compared with man\
larger places in Canada. The Colored
school is largely attended. Mrs. Lulu
Williams, of Windsor, is principal as
sisted by Miss Fayette, of Niagara
Falls. These ladies are doing a great
work and seeni to take pride in the in
tellectual training of young minds.
From Windsor we went to Chatham,
which is beyond doubt the garden spot
of Canada. The Colored people here
aie in many respects far in advance of
what we find them in some parts of our
great state of Illinois. Throughout the
surrounding country many own farms
of hundreds of acres, well stocked and
producing good crops. In the city of
Chatham, the Colored people are well
informed regarding matters in the U. S.
as well as the affairs of Her Majesty's
government. Their schools and church
es are very fine. Campbell chapel A. M.
E. church takes the lead it is a com
modious building on the King sheet
having a laige congregation composed
of the best people. The church was
dedicated Sunday the 9th, the services
being conducted by Rfc. Rev. Bishop
Tanner D. D. L. L. D. The young peo
pie of the church have organized a lit
erary society of which Miss Dollie
Scott is president. We were present at
one of the meetings ana were highly en
tertained with an interesting program.
Miss Cairie Gatewood, the musical di
rectress has attained much distinction.
The Wilbeforce Educational Institute
occupies a large building just completed
It was dedicated on the 10th, at which
time the Mayor of Chatham, presided
and many representative citizens of both
races were present and delivered ap
propriate addresses. The institute has
a bright future before it with sm ed
ucators as rrof. Joseph, Miss Carrie
Gatewood and Miss Cora Lyons in the
faculty.

ON HIS ROUNDS.
Strange Experiences of an AP
PEAL Man as he Goes
About tlie City.
Chicago Sights and Scenes.
Oh the strange things we see and the
strange things we hear as we go through
the Colored colony of Chicago.
Monday morning the APPEAL started
out on a money collecting and news
gathering tour. The first call was on
State street. Knocking on the door
(there was no bell), "Come in said a
little girl. "I your mother home"
asked the APPEAL. "Yes sir" replied
the little girl, "I'll go and call her."
In a few moments the child returned
and said "My mamma told me to tell
you that she is not at home." I was
five minutes after ten o'clock when the
APPEAL arrived at the residence of Mrs.
living on Butterfield street. He
had been told to come, at 10 o'clock to
get the money due him and was only
five minutes late "Didn't I tell jou to
come at ten o'clock said the lady and
here you have come five minutes after.
Well I just went out and spent your
money, next time you come exactly at
the appointed time." If all Colored
people were as particular about time
as the Butteifield street lady it would
be better for the race. On Dearborn
street a beautiful voting lady came to
the door in response to the APPEAL'S
ring. I have a little bill to collect foi
the APPEAL." "Oh yes," said the
beauty, "walk in." The collector fol
lowed the lady into the pailor. Mo
tioning the bewildered young man to be
seated, the lady began "Well folks say
I am a pretty woman, don't you think
so?" The APPEAL nodded assent. I
thought that if I would give you one of
my photographs that would pay for the
'paper. It's a good thing to have the
paper come to my house because all the
young men come here to visit me.
They are all in love with my beautiful
face an.l form and if the piper is heie
they will see it and in that way it will
be well advertised." The APPEYL
couldn't see the point aud dema ded
cash which the beauty reluctantly paid.
The next place visited was at the resi
dence of a woman who is a leading sis
ter in one of the churches. I came
around to see how things are at your
church." "So you are the
who is writing them lies about our
church, well I'll be ed if you get
any news from me." "My good l.idy"
said the APPEAL you are mistaken, every
line in the APPEAL IS true and you
know it." After having heard the ai
ticles read in order to convince her of
their truth, she was so well pleased that
she sent her boy for a pitcher of beer
and pouring a glass she offered it to the
leporter who declined the foaming
beverage. "Well I'll drink alone then
and I say Long live the APPEAL." On
Clark street the press representative
found himself in a house where there
were nine women and not a man in
sight. They all crowded about him try
ing to look sweet, but when they found
he had come to collect a bill they all
rethed to their respective rooms, ex
cept one who asked the APPEAL man to
treat her, which refused to
''Now wont you treat" said the nymph,
throwing her aims around the modest
man's neck. 'T can't do it you know
but I'll retreat" said the bashful Ap-
peal man as pushed her aside and
hastened to the street.
I haven't a cent to-day said Mr.
of Harrison street, but I'll give
you this old coat for a year's subscrip
tion." The garment referred to had a
very yenerable appearance, in fact was
old enough to have grown whiskers.
'I wish cash" said the collector "and
cash I must have." "Well if you must
you must" said the gentleman as he
paid 60 cents.
Grand iJaffl e.
There is to a grand raffle for a fine
beaver overcoat worth three hnndred
dollars at Snowden and Beasley's saloon
No. 480 State street next Saturday Sept
29th. The coat may be seen at No. 217
Third Avenue.
Crap Shooters.
Crap shooting is largely indulged in
by the boys living in the vicinity of
Oakley and Austin avenues. Last Sun
day a gang of them congregated on a
vacant lot and gambled away withont
let or hindrance, filling the air with
profanity and otherwise desecrating the
Sabbath. The police ought to break it
P-
Pass Him Around.
By misrepresentation, Albert A. Clark
alias Clarisoso etc., obtained a letter
authorizing him to act as agent for the
APPEAL in the East. The letter is here
by revoked. Clark alias Clarisoso also
has an APPE \L badge which he had
made without any authority whatever.
Should he at any time attempt to use
either the letter or badge we trust that
any person to whose knowledge it may
tome, will kindly report the same to
the APPEAL office. We trust our eon
temporaries will kindly help us by
copying this notice.
