The Third Division, Composed of the States of the Union, Will Be One Spectacle, Entertainments Galore Pleasure, the Schedule Being Arranged 8th. No Meeting of the National Negroed for Inaugural Week. Washington, D. C., Feb. 24. Preparations for the inauguration of Taft and Sherman are practically completed. March 4th will be the greatest day of its kind the nation has ever seen. The colored people will do their full share toward making the occasion memorable. Although there will be no division embracing the colored civic organizations, the race will not be restricted to this branch of the magnificent pageant. The Negro posts of the Grand Army, Negro companies of the High School cadets, garrisons of the Army and Navy Union will march with their respective grades and the Philippine constabulary band under direction of Capt. Walker I. Loving will head the veterans while escorting the Presidential party to the Capitol, and will lead the cadet body in the return march. The last Separate Battalion of the District National Guard, commanded by Major Arthur Brooks, will have a conspicuous place in the military division. The third division will have as its grand marshal, Dr. E. D. Williston, a leading physician of this city, and Dr. W. T. Vernon, of Kansas, Register of the Treasury, will be chief of staff. The officers and aids will be mounted on, finely equipped chargers and will wear Prince Albert coats, silk hats, gloves, etc., and the bridles will be ornamented with rosettes.

Letters of acceptance are coming in daily and many more names will be added to this list before it is fully made up by Grand Marshal William who is working like a trojan to make his division the most brilliant of the civic branch of the parade. The second brigade will be under the command of Hon. J. Milton Turner, and the third will be under the command of the redeemable Col. E. H. Carson and his Blaine Invincibles. The Old Fellows, Elks, K. of Ps. and clubs from Richmond, Phil. and elsewhere, will have conspicuous places in the line. The Colored High School Cadets of this city will be the only representatives of the military arm of the race's public school system. The four companies will be led by a big brass band. The principal attractions announced for inaugural week are as follows: Sunday, February 28.—Y. M. C. A. mass meeting for men at True Reformers' Hall with Dr. J. Edward Mason and Prof. R. R. Wright as the speakers. Tuesday night, March 2—Rev, S. P. W. Drew will have a grand Christian Parade through the streets from the Cosmopolitan Baptist Temple to the Second Baptist Church, where a service of prayer for the nation will be held. Wednesday night, March 3.—Grand reception of the Monacan Club at the Auditorium. N.B. reel southeast: Miss Georgia A. Fields, of Cleveland, Ohio in concert at 19th Street-Baptist Church; dramatic recital by Mr. Richard B. Harrison, of Chicago, at Metropolitan A. M. E. Church. Thursday, March 4.—The inauguration and great parade. All day; at night following the world on the White Street chapel, a "smoker" by the Mu-So-Lit Club. Friday night, March 5.—Grand reception at Convention Hall by the Inaugural Welcome Club. Saturday night, March 6.—Presentation of loving cup to Senator J. B. Foraker by colored citizens of the country at Metropolitan A. M. E. Church. Sunday, March 7.—Special services at all the churches, sermons by visiting bishops and prominent Clergymen, song services in the evening. Besides these many of the social organizations will give public and private dances, scores of families will entertain their friends at home functions and there will be dinner stags and automobile drives galore. Washington will be in holiday attire and a lavish hospitality will be on tap everywhere. Dr. W. T. Vernon, "Everyboy'd register of Everybody's Treasury," is at home again from a triumphal tour of Kansas, Oklahoma and Missouri, looking the picture of health, despite the strain of speaking at a score of points and travelling night and day. He was escorted through Oklahoma in a private car and was greeted with ovations by the people of every city in his itinerary. At Topeka, Kansas, he had the honor of presiding over the legislature and a fine concert was given by the students of his school, the Western University, for the entertainment of the members of both Pouses of the Legislature, which they highly appreciated. Dr. Vernon delivered an address to the assembly and presented to the President of the Senate and to the Speaker of the House of Representatives gavels carved in hands-style by the pupils of Western University. To the Governor of the State of Kansas, who was present, a beautiful jardinere, made by the students, was given. The occasion was a gala one, and the popular Register won anew the hearts of the people of his home Commonwealth. The legislature is very favorably impressed with the work that the Western University is doing for the uplift of the race in Kansas, and a largely increased appropriation for its benefit is assured. There will be no meeting of the National Negro Press Association here during the inaugural period. It is the opinion of the officers of the Association that it will be impossible to secure the serious attention that such a session must have if it would accomplish anything worth while, and the feeling is that the visitors would rather give themselves up to the social side of life than to attempt to transact business while here next week. It has been decided to call a meeting early in the fall, at a central point, and at a time when no other attraction will distract the attention of the delegates. The organization, it is thought, is strong enough to stand upon its own feet, and wishes to present its cause in a fashion to catch the national ear of its own parts. The membership at the convention will probably be limited to persons actually engaged in newspaperwork, and the discussion will bear solely upon the business aspect of the profession. Politics will be barred, and an earliest effort will be made to find a way to increase the circulation, perfect an advertising and agent system and secure a firmer hold upon the people than has been the case in the past. This idea will probably be endowed by the press at large. The president of the organization is Mr. Cyrus F. Adams, Assistant Register of the U.S. Treasury. WOMAN'S WORK FOR THE UNLIFT OF HER KIND. Is Explained by Mrs. Fannie Barrier Williams in An Interesting Lecture to a Large Audience. Monday Night. Larger audiences have greeted lecturers in this city but none have been more attentive nor more so worthy of their calling, and responsible for the fact church women generally take interest in the larger gold or cal religious work outside particular church than an class of women. Our women church are organized, for part, only for one purpose is to raise money for the Thousands of our women m higher in their zeal for good than the sordid aims of m ting to pay church debts hands, hearts, and strength exhausted in devlising church tainments that are largely for, so much deplorable that characterizes the son Auditor Ralph W. Tyler has received copies of all of the speeches of President-elect Taft, beginning it with the famous Greensboro address and ending with the speeches delivered in New York, Georgia and Louisiana. He will compile them in a chrono logical order, and the typography will be so planned as to emphasize the salient points in each address. They will be ready for distribution by the time the inaugural visitors reach the city, and those persons in the states who wish copies can have them mailed by communicating with Mr. Tyler. There will be no cost attached. Miss Henrietta Vinton Davis, the well known dramatic reader, is the "star" of a well-trained company, which will present in a short time the beautiful cantata, "The Jewish Ruler," under the direction of Mr. Daniel Freeman. Miss Davis will appear to advantage in the role of "Eton" a particularly strong characterpart and she will no doubt add new laurels to her brow through her work in this production. Miss Davis gets together a new reportorial and some tasteful printing, etc., preparatory to an extended tour which will cover the country to the Pacific Coast, including the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, returning along the lower tier of state through Texas, Louisiana and Florida. Miss Davis is in excellent health and she looks forward to an exceptionally prosperous tour. Recorder John C. Dancy, in response to an urgent invitation, went to Tampa, Florida, this week, where he delivered the principal address on Negro Day, in connection with the Florida Mid-Winter Exposition; This was the first instance where a day has been set apart to call attention of the state to the progress of her colored citizens and Mr. Dancy was chosen from a long list of eligibles to present the aspirations and achievements of our people to the immense crowd, made up of the best types of both races. The newspaper reports indicate that Mr. Dancy rose to the full measure of his great opportunity. Mr. Robert H. Terrell is now a "Judge" of the Municipal Court, by virtue of the recent act of Congress changing the title of the justices of the peace to the more dignified appellation and organizing a municipal court, to sit in a single building instead of being scattered throughout the city. The salary is $2,500 per annum and each Judge is allowed a clerk at $1,500 and an assistant clerk at $1,000. Judge Terrell was re-appointed and will be retained permanently on the bench. He is now the only colored man in the country holding a municipal position of this character. As has been previously stated, Judge Terrell is a man of brilliant intellectual attachments, a graduate of the law department of Harvard, and a useful factor in the varied activities of the race. Rev. John H. Collet, business manager of the Book Concern of the A. M. E. Church of Philadelphia, is critically ill in this city and the worst is feared. The opera bouffe "ducl" in the "Black Cabinet," precipitated by a few wild-eyed correspondents and a group of curbstone gossipers has come to an abrupt end. The leaders have, found that a few super-serviceable "friends" have been carrying on a feud calculated to make their principles ridiculous and a half has been called on them. So happily "Grim-viagged war has smoothed his wrinkled front," and "all is quiet on the Potomac." A well attended meeting was held Tuesday evening at Shiloh Baptist Church to arouse public interest in the condition of the Liberian Republic. Congress is being urged to pass the bill providing for an appropriation of $20,000 for a commission to go to Liberia and examine the situation with a view of showing this government a way to relieve the embarrassments under which our foster-child is laboring. Addresses were delivered by Prof. Kelly Miller and others. As the administration is earnestly sympathy with the movement confidence is felt that the bill will ultimately become a law. Mr. Emmett J. Scott, of Tuskegee, and Dr. George C. Hall, of Chicago, will be guests of Dr. A. M. Curtis (Continued on Page Five.) Larger audiences have greeted lecturers in this city but none has been more attentive nor more representative than that which gathered at Simpson M. M. Church Tuesday evening to hear Mrs. Fannie Barrier Williams, or Chicago, who came here on the invitation of the Charleston Womans' Improvement League to tell them and their friends what the women in other centers are doing and to give greater impetus to the work of the local organization. Mrs. Williams said in part, "The most significant and important thing in the history of woman's progress is that she is everywhere being organized. There is no better sign of the dullness and, perhaps, the general degeneracy of a community than the fact that it is without a woman's club of some kind. Women by the hundreds of thousands in every part of this country are organized into clubs, leagues or guilds in which they are training themselves to become more and more a social force in their respective communities. The club spirit has reached our women and the most important thing for us is to make the most of it. There is only one danger and that is the tendency to make these clubs men and rather than a means to an end. A woman's club organized without serious purpose, without intelligence, without study is not destined to add much to the welfare of a community. If a club fosters vanities, false ambitions, rivalry and petty jealousies, such a club will contribute nothing to the moral and social forces that make for high living." Speaking of the purposes of the woman's organization, Mrs. Williams laid special stress on their efforts to discover whether children are being properly trained, whether the girls are being protected, whether they are dressing beyond their means, and whether there is any virtue in temperance. Elucidating these inquiries, Mrs. Williams pointed out some of society's evolution on the training of the young: how their welfare in the home as well as the school is receiving attention and efforts are being made to better home surroundings. She dwelt at length upon the handicaps which surrounded the girl of color who is compelled to earn her living and contrasted the safeguards thrown around the white girl compelled to seek domestic service with the neglect which greets the Negro girl in the very beginning of her endeavor to earn an honest living. "There is no reason, said the speaker, "why a woman of character, graciousness and skill should not make her work as a domestic as respectable and as highly regarded as the work of the girl with little character and no graciousness behind a department store counter." Instead, the race has come to look upon domestic service as degrading, the result being that many colored girls, there are good grounds to suspect, who are seen on the streets of the larger cities better dressed than other nationalities are so deceived, at a cost that demoralizes the social life of the colored people." The aid of man was asked in the women's organized effort to lift themselves up. Mrs. Williams said there could be no such thing as a fallen woman without a fasion man, but that society, as at present organized, praises the man while damning the woman. The impossibility of security to the sanguity of home and the unsullied charms of woman's beauty, while such inequality is tolerated, can only be overcome by action on the part of church creeds and social ethics. In contradistinction to the aims of women banded together to elevate the social condition of their kind, the organizations of church women, who confine their labors to raising money for the church, did not far so well at Mrs. Williams' hands. She said, "it seems to me that some ministers, I mean only those who are un worry of their calling, are largely responsible for the fact that our church women generally take less interest in the larger field of practical religious work outside of their particular church than any other class of women. Our women in the church are organized, for the most part, only for one purpose and that is to raise money for the church. Thousands of our women never rise higher in their zeal for good works than the sordid aims of money getting to pay church debts. Their hands, hearts, and strength are all exhausted in devising church entertainments that are largely responsible for so much deplorable frivolity that characterizes the conduct of many of our young people. Much of the needed charitable work among our unfortunate women is left to white women because we have so little time outside of money-getting, for the trustees. Thousands of young girls who need the protection of the church as much on Monday as on Sunday, who need instructions in the sacred responsibilities of womanhood and in all the things that make for moral integrity of woman, are deprived of them all because our women are held to the stern necessity of raising money for the church. If our women could be raised from that one narrow aim and could see the possible church in the neglected fields where the King's Daughters and other societies are garnering such rich harvests of good for humanity, our importance as women of worth in moral work would be wonderfully advanced. That the door of hope has been closed in the face of the woman of color Mrs. Williams acknowledged, and that much is yet to be done to ameliorate their condition she confessed, but the cloud has a silver lining, she says, and even now the discerning eye may see the rainbow of promise. Mrs. Williams spoke again last evening at Simpson Church to a larger audience than on the preceding evening. Montgomery, Ala., February 19—the case of Alonzo Bailey, a Negro, charged with violation of the Alabama contract labor law, was decided against him today. The case will now be taken to the Supreme Court of the United States on the ground that the effect of the law is to epslave men by depriving them of their liberty without due process of law. Washington, Feb. 3.—In the death of old "Auntie" Cousins, as she was popularly known, Tenleytown has lost one of its best known and most picturesque characters. Her head white with the snows of 104 winters according to her own calculations, she was an example of the best type of the South's former slaves. She was born on the estate of Thomas Jefferson and served successfully in the Jefferson-Fleming and Webb families of Virginia. Since the civil was she has made her home with a son-in-law in Tenleytown. Despite the fact that she was past the century mark in years, the former slave had never been seriously ill until quite recently. She attributed her good health and longevity to the habit of dispensing with the use of medicine. The aged woman was buried this afternoon from the Rock Creek Baptist church. She is survived by seven grand-children and eleven great-grand-children. LANGFORD On His Way to London to Box Jack Johnson. Chicago. February 20.—Sam Langford, Negro pugillist, who is matched with Jack Johnson in London, May 24, at catch weights reached Chicago today on his way East from the coast. The "big little" fellow is enthusiastic over his opportunity to meet the colored champion fighter and feels confident that when he steps into the ring with the conqueror of Tommy Burns he will take away the honor which Johnson now enjoys. "I'll make Jack Johnson fight harder than he did with Burns, if he bests me in the 20 rounds which we are scheduled to go," said Langford. "I realize that Johnson is taller and heavier, but he isn't any faster, and I know I have a harder wallop than he has. (By James Cubert Campbell.) Washington, D. C., Feb. 23.—What was probably dawn of a new Tuskegee was witnessed in Washington last Sunday when two large mass meetings of colored people were held in Convention Hall looking to the establishment of an industrial training school for colored boys and girls. These meetings were addressed by Senator Heyburn who is said to be much interested in the work, and as a result of them the effort which is being made to found such a school here received a decided and substantial encouragement. Rev. S. Geriah Lampkin presided at both of the meetings. He announced in his opening speech that those who were interested in this work had succeeded in having three acres of land donated to them upon which the trades building would be erected, and that more than 77 acres of ground in the same district had been purchased for the agricultural of farm school. A large department of the proposed school will be located at Tuxedo, Mo., only a short distance from the District of Columbia. Senator Heyburn in his address urged the colored people to have confidence in themselves and to take advantage of their every opportunity for Face progress. He also told them that there was a market for efficient skill and that the well qualified among any race always had a chance to compete in such markets. Mr. Thomas L. Jones and Rev. A. Taylor were among others who spoke. Last Wednesday evening, a mass meeting of colored people was held in Shiloh Baptist church, the object of which was to arouse interest, in behalf of the admitted deplorable condition in Liberia, and to devise some means of aiding this struggling Republic. Rev. J. Milton Walton is said to be very much interested in this movement. Prof. Koleley Miller, of Howard University and others made addresses during the evening. There is yet considerable interest manifested in the effort bein gmade to induce Congress to appropriate the necessary expense of the Commission, which President Roosevelt recommended visit Africa and the friends of this proposition are leaving no stones at his direction. It is rumored that in the event the Commission is made possible, its personnel has already been decided upon. Those who are in close touch with the situation say that it will be composed of two colored men and one white man. There is considerable speculation as to just who these gentlemen will be. Dr. and Mrs. E. D. Williston had a muscle at their residence on S street last Sunday evening. The object of this entertainment was for the purpose of aiding the fund being established for care of tuberculosis patients among colored people in the District of Columbia. The Doctor and Mrs. Williston are greatly interested in this cause and their efforts in behalf of these people are receiving commendation and generous support. Lieut. Thomas H. R. Clark will read a paper before the men's club of St. Luke's Episcopal Church. The subject of Mr. Clark's paper will be "The Negro Soldier in America." Mr. Clark is an entertaining writer and speaker, and upon this subject he is fully capable of giving his audience a narrative which will be both interesting and instructive. VICTORY PREDICTED. Chicago, ill., February 19. Victory is predicted for W. H. Twigs. Negro candidate for City Treasurer of Evanston, unless some of the seven white candidates withdraw from the race. Friends of the white candidates believe the vote will be so split that Twigs may win. The Negro candidate owns a small printing establishment in Evanston and is popular among the Negro residents. There were originally nine white candidates, but two withdrew. Washington, February 22. far as the United States Senate be concerned, the Brownsville affair became a closed incident early this evening. By a vote of 56 to 26 the Aldrich substitute, so called, was passed, all the affirmative votes being Republican and all the negatives being Democratic. The Aldrich bill is somewhat of a compromise between the bill introduced by Senator Ferdor of Ohio, and that of Senator Warner of Missouri, that represented the Administration view of the character of the legislation that ought to be enacted. The Aldrich measure, however, embodies the salient principle of the Foraker bill, which was that the Negro troops discharged by the President without honor on account of the shooting up of the Texas town in August 1906, should not be required to establish their innocence of their participation in the affair before being reinstated in the army. The bill provides for a Court of Inquiry, consisting of five officers to be appointed by the Secretary of War, to investigate any charges that might be brought against members of the dismissed battalion, and report within a year upon their eligibility for reinstation. It contains no requirement that the men should first prove their innocence, but virtually puts it up to the Government to establish their guilt, otherwise the entire army will be restored to the army, rather than pay for the period they have been out of the army and invested with the civil rights of which they were deprived by the President's order. Victory for Foraker. This is a substantial victory for Senator Foraker, who has been contending for two years for the maintenance of the old principle of jurisprudence that the discharged soldiers should be regarded as innocent until proved guilty. It is expected that the Aldrich bill will pass the House before the end of the session, and insamuch as the President was consulted by the Senator from Rhode Island before he introduced the measure and acquiesced in its provisions, he will sign it before his term expires. TAFT INAUGURATION. Great preparations are being made by the colored citizens of Washington, D. C., in anticipation of a great throng of visitors to the inaugural ceremonies, which are being planned on a scale of magnificence never before attempted. The whole city will be illuminated at night during the inaugural week, and one night will be get inside for the display of fireworks, which will excel in splendor anything ever seen before in this country. The colored citizens of Washington, D. C., have organized for the occasion, and have secured Convention Hall, the largest in the city, where they will receive and entertain the great throng of visitors expected. The several auxiliary chairman of the local committee on public comfort are authorized to extend invitations to the reception to all West Virginia people, who expect to be in Washington on March 6th to the end that they may attend. The guests are admitted on their invitation, but must be provided with a supper ticket, which will cost $1. Invitations and supper tickets can be obtained through your local chairman, or of Mr. Daniel Murray, at 669 F street, N. W., Washington, D. C. Just before the Advocate went to press a phone message was received from Dr. C. C. Barnett, at Huntington announcing the death of his father, Rev. Nelson Barnett, a pioneer Baptist minister, whom occurred at Kessler Hospital this morning. Rev. Barnett had been ill for a number of weeks, but it was only in the past few days that his condition was regarded as sorrow when he was removed to the hospital. The funeral will be held from the First Baptist Church at Huntington Sunday afternoon.

Burroughs, who has general charge of the campaign in the interest of the Training school for Girls at Lincoln. D. C., has been making great headway during the fortnight she has been spending here Her eloquent plea for enlarged opportunities for our girls is bringing forth fruit in the practical form of dollars. Quite a handsome fund has been secured and many reliable pledges have been placed in her hands. Miss Burroughs is being ably assisted by Miss M. M. Kimball, of Texas. The suggestion that Lawyer Thomas L. Jones be elevated to the bench of the police court of the District of Columbia, to succeed Judge Kimball, is being received with marked favor by the bar and the citizens of all classes here. Who not "Judge" Jones? The matter will be called to the attention of President Taft in the near future, and Lawyer Jones' friends are determined to put up a strong fight for him. P. W.

This is the Monroe Doctrine in its modern shape, the doctrine that though a European state may punish an American state for misdemeanor, may declare war upon it even, yet punishment must not result in permanent seizure of its territory. Curiously enough the United States bases such action so far as it is aimed at European powers upon the right of self-defense. President Clevland for instance in his Venezuela message of December 17, 1895, says that his enforcement of this Monroe Doctrine against Great Britain "is important to our peace and safety as a nation and is essential to the integrity of our free institutions" and earlier in the same month he had told Congress that "the traditional and established policy of this Government is firmly opposed to a forcible increase by any European power of its territorial possessions on this continent." Thus upon this Western continent are a variety of states with whose political fortunes our own are in this way linked and with whose commercial development we desire to be identified. But such altruism is not always appreciated. For, owing to similarity of race, speech and situation, when we interfere—as in behalf of Cuba—all the other Latin-American communities incline to suspect the integrity of our motives. This is true if the "big stick" is brandished; it is true if the Monroe Doctrine is enforced; it is true if we intervene in behalf of humanity or to advance the interest of civilization. Whatever we do single handed will be mistrusted. It is as if Great Britain should undertake to tranquilize South-Eastern Europe without consulting Austria and Germany and Russia.

TREET There is another aspect of single-handed action; if the United States attempts alone to control the destinies of the minor states on this continent. It presupposes a power it does not possess, as well as a responsibility which it cannot afford to assume. Even to redress our own wrongs, we cannot get at Venezuela behind her mountain rampart for instance. (From "An American Concert of the Powers," by Theodore S. Woolsey, in the March Scribner.) CARBON. Mrs. Nannie Young has been very ill for the past few days. Rev. P. P. Holland made a business trip to Wevaco last week. Mr. and Mrs. T. T.

Holland and wife are expecting her mother, Mrs. Hettle S. Clark, from Richmond Dale, Ohio, Monday. Mrs. Rebecca Young returned home last Saturday from the bedside of her sick daughter, Mrs. Lizzie Perry, at Red Warrior, and reports she is no better. The Mt. Nebo Baptist church gave an entertainment last Saturday night, which was well attended Mrs. L. B. Hodge, the state organizer of the True Reformers, of Montgomery, was here last Saturday and Sunday, introducing her work and met with success. She made a speech at the entertainment on Saturday night concerning her work. The Mt. Nebo Baptist church began their week of prayer on last Sunday night, preparatory to the revival. Mrs. P. P. Holland is on the sick list at this writing. C. H. Carter gave a fine talk at the Mt. Nebo Baptist church last Sunday night. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Alston's household is filled with joy by appeance of a fine girl. FIRST STEP TAKEN FOR IMPROVEMENT OF THE OHIO Parkersburg, Feb. 25.—A copy of the general rivers and harbors bill recently agreed upon and passed by congress was received here yesterday by a Parkersberger, who is interested in river improvements. A few mistaken impressions are corrected by the arrival of the bill. Also, it might be added that through the good services and hard work of the congressmen, who favor a better system of internal water ways, the Ohio gets more than was originally accredited to her. But best of all the Little Kanawha, through the work of our own congressman—Harry C. Woodward—gets $30,000. The purpose of this appropriation is set out in the following language: "Little Kanawha, $30,000, to be spent for surveys with a view to modification of the existing system of locks and dams, with a view to its further improvement." This means in effect that a thorough examination and survey will be made. This is the preliminary step in making the system modern in every way, which will eventually mean that the river will be opened for navigation all the year round. For the Ohio, in addition to the $100,000 which was secured for lock 18 to complete the work there, and to an appropriation of $120,000 for lock 13, the sum of $150,000 is appropriated for the purpose as formally set out "of making a survey of the Ohio river with a view to the selection of sites for the additional locks and dams between locks 8 and 26 and for the preparation of plans and estimates." Thus it will be seen while as has been frequently pointed out there is no comprehensive plan of improvement in the present river bill, still the way is opened and at the next session of the national congress more may be expected. President Taft favors the improvement of the Ohio, and in addition, and what is still more valuable to the movement, sentiment has been created for better waterways, and for the Ohio river project in particular.

THE SMELLING COMMITTEE'S REPORT (From Weston Independent.) Elsewhere herein we publish a brief review of a voluminous report made by a committee which has been prancing and printing around at great length for the past couple of years on state money. That its representations relative to the local institution are unworthy of serious thought is the belief of all who know anything about the cleanliness of that institution. That in the more antiquated portions of a large institution like that there may be found some specimens of the festive Cimex Lectularius is undeniable, but in recent years there has been no instance in which their stay here has not been made of brief duration, and their destruction has not heretofore required the coming of a horde of high-salaried bed-bug hunters from the state Capital, armed with ten-cent cigars and Mellivale Bottled-in-Bond insecticide, oath-bound to smoke 'em out of their crevices and dope 'em to death with legislative exhalations. The princely price of all this red sparkling juice of joy, to which should be added the costs of the circultous and recurrent comings and goings of the committee, together with the printer's and binder's bill for the biggest book on bed-buggery ever given to our mountain freemen, will naturally look large as it looms up for liquidation before the tax-payers; but think of the unspeakable thrill of joy and other emotions which so much dignity and show of importance must have sent to the hearts of these hitherto humble and unregarded bed-bugs even in the sad and solemn hour of death at the hands of a roach-routing and bug-bouncing delegation from a lawmaking body of the dead past! Bed-bugs are not accustomed to so much limelight and dignity, and surely the posterity of this vermin victims of this grave and reverend committee will not fall to write it in letters large and luminous, and tell it at all their public rehearsals, they are in very truth the ilenal descendants of the identical three bugs that were hunted, chased, worried, cornered, captured and killed by a duly commissioned corps of specialists of legislative fame; and that their forbears, whose happy lot it was to die in the midst of all this glare and glory, were "writ" about in a big book of bed-buggery, which cost the people many hundreds of dollars.

We don't want to justify or excuse those treacherous Republicans who led to the sovereign people and kept back their votes for submission, but it is worth remembering that 61 per cent of the Republican vote in the senate was for submission, and 39 per cent against. Of the Democrats 71 per cent was hostile to submission, and only 29 per cent stood by the party's pretentions of last fall. In other words the Republicans promised and delivered nearly two-thirds of their senate vote; the Democrats pretended, but caucused and tried to compel unanimous treachery of all senators. Nearly two-thirds of the senate Republicans remembered their party's pledge.

Resolved That the sudden removal of such a life from among us leaves a vacancy and a shadow that will be deeply realized by all the members and friends of this organization and will prove a serious loss to the community and the public. Resolved, That with deep sympathy with the bereaved relatives of the deceased we express our hope that even so great a loss to us all may be over ruled for good by him who doeth all things well.

P., secretary of the Foreign Mission Board of the National Baptist Convention, informed us that the programs for the fifteenth annual foreign mission related to be hold Easter Sunday, are ready in preparation. Through the Herald, he reported having raised and sent to our missionaries during the month of January, $1,245. To pay the already overdue amounts of these missionaries, and for take care of the buildings just completed and in, course of erection, the board needs $10,000. Just a little effort on the part of our churches and Sunday schools throughout the country would enable us to realize this amount, to the glory of God, the good of the millions in heathen lands and the joy of our missionaries. Write to the board, 726 W. Walnut street, Louisville, Ky., for programs, which will be sent free to any church, Sunday school or missionary society, who will observe Easter Sunday in behalf of missions, and send the collection to the board. NEGRO COMEDIAN IS TAKEN TO ASYLUM Walker, of Williams and Walker, Forgets His Lines. Dayton. O.. Feb. 22. — (Spl.) The poor memory and peculiar actions of George Walker, Negro comedian with Williams and Walker in "Bandanna Land," let Bert Williams his partner to cancel dates in Southern Ohio and Kentucky; whiles Walker was hurried to a New York sanitarium to be treated for insulting insanity. For the past several weeks the Negro comedian has been acting strangely about theatres and hotels. In their last appearance from Walker was prompted time and again by his partner. Williams went to New York with Walker. The company was disbanded until Williams returns understudy will take Walker place.

Bridge girders have been cut with great rapidity and it is stated that this simple pencil of fame promises a revolution in the methods of metal working estab- lishmests. Another curious phase of the sub- ject is the fact that Calcium Car- bide at certain temperazures has the power of fixing the nitrogen of the air and in this way will produce a fertilizer called cynamide, which 1 found equal to the Chilian nitrates. Few people realize that fen mil- lion dollars’ worth of Chilian nitrate have been Imported into this coun- try and used by the farmers here during the past year. Calciuth Carbide ts a rock-like substance produced by melting to- gether lime and coke in the eleetric furnace. It is not affected by any substance except water, and when brought in contact with water, gives off rapidly the ax known as Acty- lene. ‘The Bulletin on Calcium Carbide and Actylene can be had free by ap- plication accompanied by six cents postage to the Department of Chem- istry. ‘The Pennsylvania State College, State College, Pa.
