The Broad Ax

Booker T. Washington's Unsound Doctrine Riddled Too Pieces By Rev. Owen Meredith Waller, M. D. Vol. IX Booker T. Wa sound Doctu Too I By Rev. Owen Me Staff Correspondent for The Broad Ax Washington, D. C., May 2nd, 1904 Special. By far the most momentous issue before the race in this country to-day, is the question of the franchise. The courageous Negroes of Virginia are determined not to lose the ballot without an heroic, if not indeed a death struggle. Though one of their cases, recently argued in the supreme court, has not been won, it is nevertheless in many respects a signal victory, for the reason that Chief Justice Fuller, sitting in the Circuit Court of Virginia, dismissed this case for want of jurisdiction, but in the opinion of Mr. Justice Brewer, the case is dismissed in the Supreme Court, not because the bill is without the jurisdiction of court, but rather because no relief within the scope of the petition can be granted, that which it is sought to prevent, having already been done. It has been held by this same court that its duty is to decide actual controversies by a judgment which can be carried into effect, and not to give opinions upon moot questions, or abstract propositions, or to declare principles or rules of law which cannot affect the matter in issue in the case before it. This case has cost our people about $5,000. $2,800 was paid Mr. John S. Wise of New York, the son of Gov. Wise, who hanged John Brown. Your correspondent sat in the Supreme Court for two days listening to the arguments, and without any question, Mr. Wise made a sincere and magnificent plea for the political rights of the Negro. We are gaining a valuable experience in the Supreme Court, for, as yet, the issue has not been squarely placed before that body and has not therefore been squarely met. I believe when this is done we will not be disappointed in this great Tribunal. We can confidently look for fair play from men like Justices Harlan, Brown and Brewer. Let us continue to battle for our citizen rights, and show the world that we will not supinely submit to civil and political robbery, that we will spend our money, and should it prove necessary, we will spill our blood before we will allow ourselves to sink into the abysmal depths that the halting, apologetic leadership of Booker T. Washington would condemn us to perish in everlastingly. We have backed water in the last ten years with the hand of Washington on the helm, until the old ship is trembling and quivering from stern to stern above the catachysmal Falls of Serfdom. The old flag of human rights, manhood privilege and civil liberty must be nailed to the mast and the quaking Jonah cast overboard before this storm of race abuse, vilification and political degradation will be abated. Let us do this without delay. The race is of more consequence than Tuskegee and all for which it stands. Neither work nor money can produce men. Some say teach the Negro work. They forget that the Negro has been a workingman for nearly three centuries on this continent. Tuskegee is allright in its place, but when Mr. Washington tours the country, backed by Ogden, Baldwin and Co., ridiculing the products of Higher Education, it is high time for this entire race to cry; "Halt!" We are not unmindful of the value of skilled labor, of the necessity to any people of the strong, vertebrate laboring and middle classes; no one has greater sympathy for strenuous ```markdown ``` effort than the writer, for he came up from the depths of struggle, but, remember, that no people ever rose in the human scale except upon the ladder of the gray matter; and as the gray matter dominates and directs the red brawn of muscle in the physical organism so has it in the past, and will in the future, be a fact, that the men of cultivated brain will dominate and rule the ignorant. Again, in the "World To-day," that splendid Chicago publication, Mr. Washington jumps to the conclusion that the young colored woman who proved herself proficient in Latin, literature, etc., was unable to sew or cook. How did Mr. Washington know that she could not sew or cook. Most of the best educated, most cultured young colored women I have met in some twelve cities in this country. make their own clothes and can cook a meal that would tempt Lucullus to the feast. A young woman came to me last week from Hampton to secure a home, she was nineteen years old, and to my amazement, she informed me that she had been at Hampton Institute for two years, but could neither cook, wash nor iron, but just wanted to help around. I told her that at twelve years of age I would expect my daughter to cook, wash, iron, quote Shakespeare, read Latin, French and Spanish and play the piano and violin, if she has to go to Tuskegee to be finished. Surely it is not necessary for Mr. Washington to pull the higher culture down to establish industrialism. He very plausibly says in one breath that he is not opposed to the higher education of the Negro, and in the next breath ridicules the Negro preacher moulded after the finished type of New England. Is this square, is it on the level, is he measuring by the plumb? Then insist that he hew to the line. What does Mr. Washington hope to gain by belitteling the struggling, heroic Republic of Haiti? All the lucre of Wall Street and his Wall Street friends will not outweigh in the balances of human admiration the glorious liberties of that beautiful pearl of the Antillies. Must we again remind Mr. Washington that the supreme effort of Haiti has not indeed been the acquisition of the cabbage patch, but the making of a man. How well they have succeeded is evidenced by the respect entertained for their diplomatic representation in the courts of the world. Why should Mr. Washington criticise the weakness of their industrial arts upon which they have not concentrated any more than that they should criticise the supineness and timidity of Mr. Washington's grown up humans at Tuskegee, who are forbidden by the poor whites thereabout to play lawn tennis or ride horseback because they are, forsooth, the pastimes of white people? Who ever heard of poor whites playing lawn tennis or riding anything but a dry goods box? Yet, Mr. Washington says we must submit, we must bow down, we must keep still or something dreadful will happen to Tuskegee. Let Mr. Washington sneer at Halti. I prefer the vision of Toussanit L'Ouverture defying Napoleon to Mr. Washington, bowing, hat in hand, to an unwashed cracker. "Certainly, sah! We know our place, we know we are inferior to the white man, we do not expect any form of equality." HEW TO THE LINE. CHICAGO, May 7, 1904. M. WILLIAM MONROE TROTTER. Editor of The Gaurdian, Boston, Mass., who is one of the most logical and brilliant writers so far produced by the Afro-American race in the United States. Last Saturday afternoon the April grand Jury finished its labors and its official acts have become a part of the history of this city and county. It can be truly said that no other grand jury in the history of Cook county has performed as much labor in the same length of time as the April Grand Jury. From the first session to the very last one it was a business body, as the report shows it passed judgment on 398 cases; 312 true bills were found by it, 79 no bills and only seven cases were passed to the next Grand Jury. The last official act performed by the Jury was to visit the jail under the guidance of Jailor John L. Whitman, and as the sergeant-at-arms it was our duty to identify each member of the Grand Jury before they were permitted to pass through the various departments of the prison. It commended Jailor Whitman for keeping the institution in a clean and healthy condition. Assitsant State's Attorney Blair, and Capt. Wm. F Knoch, clerk of the Grand Jury, were both warmly praised by the members of the retiring body for the efficient manner in which they conducted their part of the work, and for being willing at all times to impart all the information they could pertaining to the busines in hand. In its final report to Judge Kersten, the following recommendations were made by it: First, that electrocution be substituted for hanging and that all executions take place at penitentiary at Joliet. That the bodies of persons so executed be disposed of within the walls of the penitentiary, as the Legislature shall direct. Second, that the police magistrates should exercise great care so as not to bring before the Grand Jury cases which should properly be disposed of in their own courts. Third, that the Grand Jury-room be located on the top floor of the building, away from the noise of the street, and be equipped with necessary sounding boards, comfortable chairs and desks for the jurors, and telephone service. Fourth, that the state's attorney's office be provided with at least two more assistant state's attorneys for Grand Jury service and other necessary help, and that an official interpreter be employed, attached to the Grand Jury room. Judge Kersten, in discharging the Grand Jury, very gracefully thanked it for the wonderful amount of work which it had performed. Disfranchisement of the colored people first began in Mississippi in 1891, and spread through seven $ \alpha^{f} $ the slave holding states of the Union, Virginia, being the last in 1902. For thirteen years the work of annulling the Federal Constitution has been going on, and yet, neither Congress nor the Supreme Court of the United States has taken steps to protect the organic law of the land. On Friday evening last Society was royally entertained at the Douglas Club House by the "Storks". About seventy-five couples were present. Autos began to arrive at 8 p. m. and continued in rapid succession until 10 o'clock. The ladies wore handsome gowns and costly jewels. The hall was beautifully decorated with many palms behind a bank of which The Byron Family Orchestra, furnished the sweetest music ever played for Chicago's 400. At 11.30 President Thompson with Miss Hattie Curtis, led the grand march to supper, at which was served all the delicacies of the season. We noticed in the front ranks of the march Dr. and Mrs. Geo. C. Hall, Dr. and Mrs. Miller, Mr. and Mrs. Rush Yerby, Mr. and Mrs. Blackwell, Mr. and Mrs. Noah D. Thompson, Prof. and Mrs. Emanuel, Mr. Theodore Jones and Miss Wilson, Mr. H. Defleth and Miss Gillespie, Mr. Carroll and Miss Seldon, Mr. Lairy and Mme. Byron, and many others. The Sunday Club which meets in St. Mary's Church, 49th and Dearborn Streets, is getting to be one of the best in city. Its officers are Clarence H. Burke, President, E. McGowan, Vice-President, C. T. Flynn, Secretary, and Fenton Johnson, Treasurer. Its the duty of the officers and members of this Sunday Club to compel the young noisy boys who congregate in the rear of the church during its meetings and by keeping up a loud racket they disturb the speakers and prevent those in attendance from listening to what they have to say, and whenever this Sunday Club can overcome this difficulty its meetings will be a great success. Mrs. Elizabeth McDonald, 3032 Dearborn Street, arrived home last Thursday from a two months lecturing tour through the East. While absent she visited State prisons and reformertaries in Columbus, O., Pittsburg, and Allegheny City, Pa., Washington, D. C., Alexandria, Va. and New York City. Mrs. McDonald accomplished much good on her missionary tour. One hundred and fifty persons were induced by her earnest pleadings to turn away from their evil course and to lead better and cleaner lives in the future. She is looking well and the trip was greatly enjoyed by her. To a man up a tree, it looks as though Mayor Carter H. Harrison and his forces were considerably worsted in the scrap during the Primary fight Monday. The indications are that unless there is considerable money expended to buy or to bribe delegates in the next six weeks that those who are bitterly opposed to his iron clad rule or dictatorship will control the County, the Senatorial, the Congressional and the State Convention and prevent him from being chosen as the Illinois member of the Democratic National Committee. The General Conference of The A. M. E. Church is Holding Forth in Quinn Chapel Observations by our Special Correspondent The General Conference of the A. M. E. Church begun its sessions in Quinn Chapel Monday, May 2nd, 1904. This was a memorial day for African Methodism throughout the world, for the presentation of this mass of human souls coming from every quarter of the globe, out of every clime, 500 delegates strong, laymen, ministerial and bishopric. At 9:30 a m the peal of the organ was heard sounding her beautiful notes of welcome to that event in history. The clapping of the hands of a delegate emersary, called the attention of the members that their presence was wanted in the lecture room below. When the hour of 10 a.m. arrived the Bishops Counsel, led by Bishop H. M. Turner, Senior Bishop of the church, D.D.,LL.D., and Bishop W. J. Gaines, D.D., Bishop B. W. Arnett, D.D.,LL.D., and Bishop B. T. Tanner, D.D.LL.D., Bishop A. Grant, D.D., and Bishop B. F. Lee, D.D., LL.D., Bishop M. B. Salter, D.D., and Bishop J. A. Handy, D.D. LL.D., Bishop W. B. Derrick, D.D., and Bishop E. Tyree, Bishop C. S. Smith, Bishop C. T. Shaffer, and Bishop L. J. Coppin. General Officers Rev. J. H. Collett and Rev. H. B. Parks, D.D., Rev. H. T. Johnson, D. D., E. W. Lampton, W. D. Chappelle, D.D., H. T. Kealing, Prof. J. R. Hawkins, B. F. Watkins, G. E. Taylor, D. D., and B. W. Arnett, Jr. Following these were ministerial and lay delegates from every state in the union and the isles of the seas. By the rap of the gavel by Bishop H. M. Turner this gigantic machinery moved in progress. The Conference was opened by singing "Praise God, from whom all blessings flow." Hymn, led by Bishop H. M. Turner. Before Jehovah's Awful Throne. Hymn, "And Are We yet Alive," led by Bishop C. S. Smith, D. D. Ritualistic exercises conducted by Evans Tyree, D.D. Prayer, H. B. Parks, D.D. All persons assembled were requested to worship with Dr. Parks upon their knees by the senior Bishop. The appeal of Dr. Parks was so pathetic until silence bursted forth with spiritual fervor. So effective was his divine interrogations until a sister was heard to exclaim, "That was as good as a sermon." Quinn Chapel Quoir, led by Mrs. Marion Adams, sang with pathos "Come thou fount of every blessing. 11:25 A. M. His Grace, Bishop M. B. Salter, D.D., preached the Quadrennial Sermon, which was masterly and forensic, timely, needful, hopeful and historic. His subject was "The Church." He portrayed the conditions, the advancements, sacrifices, persecutions, and blessings, from its birth, up to the present. What he wished to convey and lastingly impress upon the African Methodist ministry was works and faith together would save the world, and his church for Christ. Of all of God's church, African Methodism seem to have suffered from the master-prejudice's proscription and falsehood. In speaking of the M. E. church some 120 years ago, he said, that African Methodists were not permitted to partake of the Lord's supper, and her children were driven by merciless proscription. Branded as inferior race. Bethel's awakening inspired by Bishop Allen withdrew from the M. E. Church and are now sitting upon our own back seat. In spite of opposition and prejudice we have succeeded, we take pride, that our church government is No.28 ference of The A. is Holding Quinn Chapel invested in an itennerant ministry, we have 6,643 traveling preachers, 800,354 members, 800,000 followers, with 1,106,031. In educational pursuits we hold no mean place, Willbeforce of Ohio, Paul Quinn, Morris Brown and etc. The 1st and oldest Negro Book Concern in the world. On the very spot where the Sunday School Union has built and erected a building upon the very spot where was once the auction block. He spoke of the Southern Christian Recorder and its struggles and concluded with the text: "And, Lo, I am with you always, even until the ends of the earth." Celebration of the Holy Communion, conducted by Bishops B. T. Tanner, D. D., and L. J. Coppin, D. D. recess was taken until 3 p. m. to complete organization as per discipline. Roll call by the Rev. L. H. Reynolds D. D. Sec., of General conference. Bishop Turner by the rap of the gavel called the vast assembly to its feet, and said: Let us see, if you have the pass word. The delegates answered with a response the reppitition of the apostles creed. The evening session commenced at 8 p. m. Welcome service, Bishop Henry M. Turner, D. D., L. L. D., presiding. Welcome address on behalf of the State, Gov. Richard Yates. Welcome address on behalf of this city by the representative of his Honor the Mayor Carter H. Harrison, Dr. Howard S. Taylor. Welcome address on behalf of the 4th Episcopal District, Bishop A. Grant, D. D. Welcome address on behalf of the Annual Conferences by Dr. J. M. Townsend, D. D. Welcome address on behalf of Quinn Chapel, Dr. A. J. Carey, D.D. Welcome address on behalf of the Ministerial Union, Bishop Samuel Fallow. The main issue of the General Conference will be the election of the Episcopicy. It was anticipated by some of the ministers that there would be no election of Bishops, but that sentiment has changed, and it is almost sure that the recomendation will be two or three Bishops. The conservative element have been compelled to acknowledge the facts that have been presented by argument, from the young men, that this General Conference will play the part of wisdom. By calling to the support of the Episcopisocy two more Bishops. Facts that are presented by those delegates who favor it are these: 1st, that since the additions of more Bishops at the last General Conference the financial interest have greatly advanced the church. One of the newly elected iBshcps of his district raised over $70,000. The second reason is that one of the members of the Bishops Bench is today 80 years of age, and one or two others are becoming distressed under such ardous task and weight of sore. The candidates are numerous;but those most prominent are Dr. J.M. Townsend, Dr. Johnson, Dr. Parks, Dr. Geo. W. Gaines and Dr. Conners. It is already conceded that two of this number will be elected. The office of Dr. Lampton, D.D., was open to The Broad Ax, likewise Dr. J. M. Townsends headquarters east of the chapel, and Dr. Johnson, editor of the Christian Recorder. Board of Commissioners: Bishop A. Grant, D, D., President, Bishop B. W. Arnett, D. D., Bishop C. S. Smith, D. D., Bishop C. T. Shaffer, D. D., Rev. A. J. Carey, D. D., Rev. J. S. Flipper, D. D., Rev.

Allain, 2945 Dearborn St., departs on an exstensive tour of the South. While absent he will spend sometime in visiting his aged mother, who resides in the city of New Orleans. Senator Allain was for many years prominent in the affairs of Louisiana. He served in both branches of the Legislature of that state with credit to himself and to his race. He was also a member of the Constitutional Convention of 1870. The following letter from Judge N. C. Blanchard, who was recently elected Governor of Louisiana, shows that Senator Allain was held in high esteem by the best and the most influential whites when he left that state in 1892 to become a resident of Chicago. "Supreme Court of the State of Louisiana, New Orleans, May 27th, 1902. Hon. Theophile T. Allain, 247 Claiborne Street, New Orleans, L1. Dear Sir:— You served with ability for a long period of time, down to the year 1892, in the House of Representatives, the State Senate and Constitutional Convention of 1879, in Louisiana. You stood well in the estimation of the best people of the State. You represented the idea of the amicable adjustment of the troubles affecting the relations of the two races, and your stand on the vexed problem was appreciated. The good people of the State wish you well. Canada's Large Imports. The total value of all merchandise imported into Canada for consumption during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1903, was $233,790,516, of which $136,796,665 was dutiable, and $96,904,451 was non-dutiable, the dutiable goods paying $37,110,354, based on a 27.1 per cent duty. Wooden Corsets. In 1585 the corps pique (a corset) was a hard wooden mold into which the wearer was compressed and suffered from the splinters of wood that penetrated the flesh. It took the skin off the waist and made the ribs ride up, one over the other. Strong Current of the Tigris. The current in some parts of the Tigris river is so strong that the British steamboats running on it with the consent of the Turkish government sometimes can make no headway for hours, and are occasionally turned around completely. The tracks of the Siberian railway are laid on the ice across Lake Baikal. During the month of March there were carried over the temporary line 1,693 freight cars, 673 cars of soldiers, 85 cars of officers, and 65 engines. Carnage's Autographs Andrew Carnegie has the best collection of autographs of crowned heads and famous persons in contemporary history. There are frequently not only signatures, but also letters written to him on various subjects. Work of Parla Mint The returns of the work at the Paris mint in 1903 show the value of gold coins struck off for France and its colonies as $17,822,620; silver, $316,760; nickel, $200,000, and bronze, $108,790. Heathen Business Methods. Business among the Chinese, according to a Russian traveler who has just returned from Manchuria, is on a cooperative basis. There are neither proprietors nor employees, but all who work in an establishment are partners. From time to time small allowances are doled out to them—barely enough to live on—but at the end of the year all the profits are divided. The Chinese merchants are so honest that among all the ten branches of the Russo-Chinese bank located in China there has been no record since their establishment of a single protested note.—N. Y. World. Mothers' Vocal Duties Mothers and those who have the education of children in their hands are chiefly responsible for our abuse of the English language and our elocutionary shortcomings. A mother should make it a special duty to correct every mistake in the sound of her child's voice and in its choice of words; and if voice production, the right pronunciation of words, and distinct reading aloud, were made part of a child's training, we would soon become an intelligible and musically-volced people. Unchecked, we shall ultimately bark. Natural Inference. Jennie's mother was expecting company, but just before train time a telegram arrived, which read: "Missed train. Will start at same time to-morrow." Jennie rushed home from school expecting to see the guest, but instead was shown the message. After reading it laboriously and carefully through she exclaimed: "Why, mamma, if she starts at the same time to-morrow, she will miss the train again."—What To Eat. Sinking and Rising Seas The recent news of the sinking of the level of the Sea of Azof, threatening some of the commercial interests of Russia, is supplemented by a report that the Aral sea and Lake Balkash, the first 1,000 and the second nearly 2,000 miles east of Azof, are rising, although up to 1891 the Aral sea had for many years been sinking. Some geologists think these changes are due to slow upheavals and subsidences of the earth's crust. Obliging the Curate. One evening a young curate entered a rural station in England. He was much shocked to see a drunken man lolling on the platform. He approached the solitary porter and asked: "Are drunken persons allowed here?" "Weel, no, sir," was the rejoinder, "but if ye.stan' round th' corner in th' shadow, nae body 'll notice ye!"—Buffalo Commercial. Russian Female Students A Parisian journal says in regard to the numerous Russian female students in the French metropolis that they are for the most part very plain, and without any feminine charms. Most of them are very poor, live in garrets and starve their bodies, while they study hard. Most of them are nihilists. "The Royal Stockjobber." The king of the Belgians is known as "the royal stockjobber." With all his wealth and schemes for the getting of more, the king is not happy. He is forbidden to take any but the most simple fare, and the poorest laborer in his kingdom extracts more joy from life than he. New Kind of Shoe Brush. A fountain blacking brush is the latest addition to the long list of useful appliances that inventive genius has recently contributed to the home. The commendable features of this affair, according to the inventor, Include cleanliness and thoroughness. The Book Output A. Brussels expert, M. Paul Otlet, estimates that from the invention of printing, in the middle of the fifteenth century, to January, 1900, 12,163,000 different books have been issued. He also estimates that about 200,000 books are now annually issued. Tattoo Records The members of an African tribe keep their individual records of acts of prowess in war and other matters of personal interest by means of tattoo marks. Preferably, the diary is kept on the body of a wife. Qualifications of Jap Voters. To vote for a member of parliament a Japanese must be 25 years old and pay about $7.50 annually in direct national taxation. This rule shuts out nearly 99 per cent. of the population of Japan. Consular Agents. British consular agents differ from those sent out by the United States in being diplomats instead of business men on the lookout for trade chances for their countrymen. Jews in Russia. The Russian law, which compels all Jews to live in the ghettos of cities, is not modified even in the case of invalids, who might save their lives by a change of air. The result of a cricket match in Melbourne was cabled to London, 17,000 miles, through nine relays, in two and a half minutes. The Britishers are not going to use "chauffeur" or "garage," any more. They will say "motorman" and "motorhouse." London's Unemployed Porters. There are fully 700 cotton porters now unemployed in Liverpool alone, and many thousands of other classes of workmen. USE LINEN AS COLLATERAL New York pawnbroker recently told me of a scheme resorted to by many washer-women which may be of interest to those housewives who have noticed that their finer garments and household linens are slow in getting home from the wash. He says that these washerwomen make a regular practice of raising money on their patrons' better classes of linen. "For instance," said he, indicating a large package neatly done up, "that contains some very fine garments and a lot of house. old linen. The whole is worth perhaps $40. At any rate, I lent $20 on it. You see, the washerwoman takes the things home with her, washes them at once, and instead of returning them to their owner, brings them here and gets money, which she can use for at least a week, and sometimes much longer. By the time she has to take these out for delivery she has another lot which she can bring here in its place. Thus she keeps the money indefinitely. A washerwoman with a large number of such patrons can keep $200 or $300 in the air all the time and still get the goods back in time to satisfy those people who have sufficiently large reserve stock on hand." BIG ENGLISH HOMES. Wentworth-Woodhouse Said to Be the Largest of Its Kind----600 Feet Long and Contains 183 Rooms. Knowsley, where Lord and Lady Derby have been entertaining King Edward, is no doubt a very roomy dwelling-house, but it is scarcely, as stated by a contemporary, the largest in England, says the Westminster Gazette. This proud position is generally accorded to Lord Fitzwilliam's Yorkshire seat, Wentworth-Woodhouse. Of this house it is said that the three principal entrances are so far distant from each other that visitors are advised to bring three hats with them, one to be kept at each point of egress. This is, of course, a needless counsel; but a house which is 600 feet long, has a hall into which two average suburban villas could be comfortably placed, and boasts a room for every two days of the year, is certainly large enough to satisfy any reasonable ambition. Of other commodious residences, Farnham castle has corridors over a mile in aggregate length; Blenheim palace stretches over 348 feet, and has 15 staircases; Mount Stuart, Lord Bute's Rothesay seat, is said to cover an acre and to have cost £2,000,000. Castle Howard has 125 rooms, and Raby castle stands on nearly two acres of land. A MONSTROUS IOWA GOOSE Fowl Weighing 144 Pounds Will Be Shown at St. Louis-Egg Makes Fourteen Custard Pies. Harry Pinkham, a Nevada (Ia.) horseman, owns a Toulouse goose which is a monstrosity, and which has attracted a great deal of attention on account of its great size. The goose weighs 144 pounds, stands over two feet high, and lays an egg as large around as an ordinary carafe. The fowl has been exhibited by Mr. Pinkham at several of the live stock shows, and has always attracted attention. It is the intention of Mr. Pinkham to take the goose to the St. Louis exposition and have it exhibited with the great poultry exhibit to be arranged during the summer. The weight of this goose was so great that the web feet became crippled, and in order that the fowl might easily walk over the frozen ground this winter Mr. Pinkham had made for it a pair of rubber shoes which had been made to fit exactly upon the two web feet, and with this artificial aid the goose gets about on the ice and the hard ground quite well. With one of the eggs which the goose recently laid a Nevada boarding house keeper made fourteen custard pies. JAP GIFTS IN WHITE HOUSE. Oriental Diplomats Present Mrs. Roosevelt with Collection of Dolls Dressed as Court Ladies. The Japanese diplomats in Washington are welcome guests at the white house, and Minister and Mme. Takahira have contributed greatly to the pleasure of Mrs. Roosevelt and the children of the president. There is a Japanese corner at the white house for which these foreigners are responsible. They have presented Mrs. Roosevelt with a collection of Japanese dolls, dressed to represent court laddies and various types of high life in the Land of the Rising Sun. Instead of sending this gift to the nursery, where Ethel, Archie and Quentin maintained they should go, Mrs. Roosevelt showed her appreciation by giving them a place of honor in the red parlor. Arranged in a gilded cabinet, they form an attractive decoration, their gorgeous robes of bright colored brocade and gold embroidery artistically blending with the brilliant furnishings of the room. Tourists are always attracted by the souvenirs from Japan, and many make inquiries as to their origin. The Harm Noise Does. Noise is an undoubted factor in impairing the tone of the nerve centers. Whether we are conscious of it or not, it hurts the brain and has a deafening, dazzling, bewildering effect on the mental processes. It tires the brain and tends to produce cerebral hyporemia. To live in a noisy atmosphere is to shorten one's days. Irritability, neurasthenia, insomnia are common effects. London Family Doctor. Few Paupers in Japan. There are very few paupers in Japan, because old age is revered there. No parents or children come to want there unless all their natural protectors are dead or disabled. The Herreros, whom the Germans are now fighting in Southwest Africa, number 20,000 fighting men, of a class far superior to most of the African native races. A century ago boot blacking was made of lampblack mixed with rotten eggs. This evil-smelling compound was applied with a sort of paint brush. New Bursting Charge.

If any one man bas grown greatly in the estimation of house and senate it is Speaker Cannon, who, in a single session, has enrolled among the little group of really great speakers who kave presided over the de- lberations of the house. There are not many of them. Clay, Colfax, Blaine, Carlisle and Reed are the names which occur easily to anybody witha historical bent of mind, and it isa high tribute to ‘Cannon that at the close of an unusually short and uneventful session, there should be many who are disposed to group him with the historic lights. Both republicans and democrats unite to sing Cannon's praises. He is as high- ly regarded on the democratic side of the house as among his own party associates. Even the most hopeless partisans are forced to admit that they have no com- plaint to make against the speaker on account of his conduct in the chair. So free from partisanishp has he been that the house has been treated several times to @ spectacle hitherto unprecedented since the creation of the committee on rules. That committee more than once has made reports providing special or- ders for legislation in which the repub- licans and democrats on the committee united in unanimous action. If this had happened in the administrations of Reed, or Crisp, or Henderson, it would have been thought that the heavens were about to fall. _-. The_ Democratic Leader.

He has shown tact and bril- Hancy has kept his lance poised for any possible vulnerable spots in the repub- lican armor, and at the same time has maintained personal relations with the fepublican leaders which give him in- fiuence on the majority side of the house. ‘Williams is a rather curious product of democratic generation. He was born in Memphis, Tenn., and his father was a confederate colonel, killed at Shiloh. ‘Then young Williams, with his mother, moved to his mother’s old family home- stead in Yazoo country, Mississippi.

Each of the new structures will occupy an entire ‘square, now filled with old houses and Gefaced by glaring billbogrds. Under the new arrangement each senator and representative will be accommodated with a fine suite of rooms, handsomely furnished and supplied with every com- fort that any working statesman could desire. _ Jt is not so many years since a great ‘outery went up over the country be- cause the senators had bought an old hotel, known as the Maltby house, where those who could not be supplied with rooms in the capitol kept their ‘secretaries and their records. Columns were written about the rugs, and sofas, and private baths with which these ‘rooms were furnished, and many peo- ple throughout the country imagined that the senate was lavishing the money of the taxpayers in oriental luxury. But times have changed. The Malt- by building is out of date. Those sena- ‘tors who are condemned to occupy ‘rooms there regard it as a hardship, and there are mutterings already about the dilapidated condition of the place. ‘Sut it is seen now that a senator, or a representative, for that matter, is en- ‘titled to at least as much consideration im the choice of his working establish- ‘ment as a lawyer burdened with half the business. As it is, many repre- sentatives are compelied- to lease rooms outside the capitol. With the increase in population of the country, the statesman in Wash- ington finds his work and responsibil- ity thrice or four times as great as in the days of the seventies. Ire of the Clerks.

He has reported a bill by which it fs proposed that after the 30th day of June, 1907, every office in the classified service held by a person who is then over 70 years of age shall become va- cant, and that after the 30th day of June, 1907,. every office in the classified service shall become vacant when the person holding it becomes 70 years old. As if to add insult to injury, Gillett has also reported it as the opinion of the committee that such retired clerks should not be pensioned. To show the injustice of it, some of them have prepared a list of members of the house and senate who will be over 70 years of age on June 30, 1907. That list includes the name of Speak- er Cannon, whom nobody would ac- cuse of being superannuated. In it, also, are the names of the following United States senators: Morgan and Pettus, of Alabama; Teller, of Colo- rado; Platt and Hawley, of Connecti- cut; Cullom, of Illinois; Allison, of Towa; McEnery, of Louisiana; Hale and Frye, of Maine; Hoar, of Massachu- setts; Burrows and Alger, of Michigan; Cockrell, of Missouri; Gibson, of Mon- tana; Millard, of Nebraska; Gallinger of New Hampshire; Platt and Depew of New York; Mitchell, of Oregon; Quay, of Pennsylvania; Bate, of Ten- nessee; Proctor, of Vermont, and Fos- ter, of Washington—2 in all, nearly one-third of the senate.

The city of Washington is growing to the northwest with a rapidity which attracts the attention of all observers. Fifteen years ago the business center was on Pennsylvania avenue, between Ninth and Fourteenth streets. At that time F street, two blocks to the north, was chiefly occupied by residences. Ten years ago the center of business had Deen shifted from the avenue to F street, and almost every residence had been transformed into a shop. ¥ street is still the center, but with- te another five years it will have lost its prestige, for places of business are enercaching almost daily on the streets farther north and west.

As a rule, their friends know of the chests, and take pleasure in helping to fill them, although some of the girls like to feel that everything was bought with their own money. THE BEST BEAUTY DOCTOR ‘What a Mother Can Do to Make Her Children Attractive in the Highest Sense. Every mother is the best beauty-doe- tor to her own child. We have met mothers who spent a great deal of time beautifying their children’s garments, to the detriment of what is real beau- tifying—the beautifying of the soul— forgetting that “the eyes are the win- dows of the soul,” and beauty is as beauty does. It is as natural for a little child to wish to be beautiful as it is for a flow- er to turn to the sun. Watch your wee daughter some time, when she is un- ee of your presence, before a mirror. See how she turns this way and that, smooths out a crease, or pats a ribbon, all the while smiling at the reflection, as she stands there, and finally turning away with the smile lingering in her eyes and at the cor- ners of her mouth—for she has learned that a amiling face is more beautiful that one that frowns. And your boy? Have you ever watched him unobserved as he adjusts his collar and tie before the mirror? At first there are grimaced reflected in the glass, for the little lad finds it as difficult as does his fatber at times to adjust the refractory collar batton. But when it is adjusted and the collar and tie are in place, watch your boy straighten and throw back his head fearlessly, as though he fel’ it @ fine thing to turn and face the world with shoulders back and face erect. “I want to be beautiful‘like mamma,” cried a seven-year-old girl in our hear- ing. “And what makes your mother beau- tiful—her fine clothes?” we asked, as our eyes wandered to the perfectly- gowned young mother in the next room. “Why, no. She looks just as nice im her old dress as she does in her new one. It’s ‘cause she’s always so kind and sweet to everybody, and it shows right in her face,” was the answer. ‘The little maid had put the matter in a nutshell.

If there were such things as mon- archical failures with the consequences attending financial failures, and if such @ disaster meant the giving up of lux- ury and getting back to primitive eco- Romics, as it does with unfortunate men of business, and if such a disaster should strike the ruling house in Ger- many, the only daughter of this house, the Princess Louise, would be perfectly competent to enter a kitchen and be- come a typical German housewife. Such has been her training under her careful mother, the German empress, and her father, who once said that it “Was more important for a woman to know how to bake a pancake than to be able to discuss constitutional law. | The Princess Victoria Louise, as the only daughter in a large family, has been as much in danger of being petted as if she were growing up in a large family of brothers in any German household.

The room in which the princess learns to make the delicacies dear to the German hedrt is just off the great palace kitchen presided over by “Ober- hofkuchenmeister” Huebner, afanction- ary just as high and mighty as his 20 lettered title—‘“chief court kitchen master”—would indicate. Huebner is the cooking teacher for the princess. The Chicago Tribune claims that her kitchen is a model on a reduced scale of the court kitchen. {t is equipped with a tiny range of its own, with sinks and racks of utensils, barrels, boxes and chests, just as one finds them in a typical, well ordered German housewife’s establishment. The prin- cess will spend two hours in the kitch- en each afternoon with the faithful Huebner at her elbows showing the art of the simpler processes of baking and cooking generally. ‘The princess has warned her father and mother that presently she intends to surprise them with something of her own making, and epoch making will be the day when she “tries it on” her fond parents and brothers. Princess Victoria Louise is a blonde and has blue eyes—a typical German girl—and looks like her father. She gives promise of being tall and of at- tractive, slender figure. She is always tastefully dressed, usually in white when she is seen in public, and her ap- pearance in Unter den Linden, driv- ing with her mother or her governess, is always the signal for much affection- ate amusement, for she has been taught to bow most seriously when her fath- a ea As she is the only girl in so big and ‘80 affectionate a family, and is besides the youngest of the kaiser’s seven chil- ‘dren, Princess Victoria Louise Adelaide ‘Mathilde Charlotte—to give her the full benefit of her name—would be bat- Jy spoiled if it were not for her father’s joer supervision.

The splendid service rendered by those who obtained commissions in the army following the civil war was abun- dant proof of their fitness for com- mand. The test of war service is one which cannot be equaled by any sys- tem of examination or marking that may be devised in a time of peace. The fact of the. qualifications of an officer as developed under war conditions is absolute; the question of probable effi- ciency has no definite standard, says the Army and Navy Journal. In ad- dition, 40 years of military progress have made the requirements for the ac- complished officer much more exacting than ever. Now that there is a pros- pect that we may have 12 appoint- ments in the year to the commissioned ranks of the navy, so long as there may be a shortage of graduated offi- cers, and with the reduction of the term in the warrant grade so that the enlisted man may get to a commission at some time before histhirties it would seem that all nad been done that need be done toward making the promotion easier. What is mainly to be feared is that under the stimulus of the need of officers the restriction of numbers may be removed and a broadly framed gen- eral provision may make it possible for those to secure a commission who would not or could not qualify under the present restrictions. On the other hand, promotion within the limits now set should not be made impossible through the establishment of standards which, however conscientiousiy adopt- ed, might be found prohibitive. ITALIAN ARTIST'S COURTESY Painter When Asked for Post-Card Picture Makes Polite Reply Which Is a Refusal. Public men who are bothered by re- quests for autographs and the like aro often hard put to it to answer polite- ly, but a certain celebrated Italian painter managed to do so with studied courtesy, says the London Hour Glass. A correspondent wrote to him: “I am making a collection of painted post- cards, and should feel highly flattered i you would send me one with a little picture painted on it by yourself. It would be the most treasured card in my collection, as I should be able to say that you were one of the first to honor me in this way. Hoping to re- ceive one, I beg to thank you in ad- vance.” Most men would have torn such a missive up. Not so the artist. who wrote politely in reply: “Dear Sir: I am making a collection of thou- sand franc notes, and shovid feel my- self highly flattered if you would send me one. It will certainly be the most treasured thousand franc note in my collection, as I should be able to say that you were one of the first to honor me in this way. Hoping to receive one, I beg to thank you in advance.” JAPS INDEBTED TO KOREA. Almost Every Art and Industry for Which the Former Are Noted Was Acquired from Them. “In view of what Korea has been to Japan in the past, it is not strange that the Japanese people should now feel morally bound to prevent the oblitera- tion of their ancient benefactors by the Russians, even though the Russian oc- cupation of Korea did not threaten Japanese independence,” Mr. Colgate Baker remarks in his article on Japan and Korea in Pearson's. “Toenumerate all of the boons conferred upon the Jap- anese by the Koreans would be an end- less task. Almost every art and indus- try in which the Japanese have become ‘famous was taught them by the Koreans. Painting, pottery and porcelain making, embroidery, the manufacture of silk and cloth, im fact everything which has beautified and enriched Japan came ‘through the medium of Korea. - “Japan is also indebted to Korea for a knowledge of irrigation and improved methods of agriculture. The arts of Ivory and wood carving, in which the Japanese have achieved such wonder- ful success, were taught them by their good friends, the Koreans.” KOREA PATHWAY OF NATIONS Career of Peninsular Country a Check- ered One—Brought to Notice of Americans in 1871. Nothing encourages the study of ge- ography like war, writes Homer B. Hul- bert, in “Korea, the Bone of Conten- Hon,” in Century. It was in 1871 that Americans began to look up Korea on the map, for at that time we were at war with her; but there was only one battle, and in that battle only one man was killed—on our side. So the geogra- phies were soon put back on the sheif. {m 1894 Korea again came to the front, but the Chinese fied so precipitately be- fore the Japanese that before the geogra- phies were fairly open the tide of war swept across the Yalu and left Korea again the “Land of the Morning Calm.” And now again in this year of grace she is to be made, though much against her will, the chessboard for another game. fm 1228 she was swept from north to south by the Mongols in their efforts to get at the Japanese. In 1592 she was swept from south to north by the Jap- anese in their effort to get at the Chi- nese. She has been verily the pathway of nations, trodden of every foot. Mew Form of Fish Story.

Wo Melody in Japan. | Protagonists and antagonists of what is miscalled “Japanese” music assert that it out-Wagners Wagner in descriptiveness—that there is no such thing as “music” in Japan. The Jap- anese themselves say with the utmost complacency that they have possessed since the eighth century (when to Corean “melody” was added the Chi- nese scale and notation) “the perfect music.” There is no such thing in Japan as melody for itself—as we know it in the west—and that is what an occidental thinks of when he speaks of music. Barthouakes and Skyscrapers. In speaking of the probable effect on New York city’s skyscrapers, had the recent earthquake in New England ex- tended a little farther south, Prof. James F. Kemp, head of the depart- ment of geology at Columbia, sald: “Steel structures are much better cal- culated to withstand an earthquake shock than buildings composed entire- ly of masonry or wood. The steel frame of a building would behave much like a wicker basket. It would bend and vibrate, if the shock were strong enough, but the chances are against its falling.” When You Go to Florida. “It’s a mistake to think that the vis- {tors to Florida get the early vegeta- bles,” said Mr. Thomas H.

Morning Post unblushingly gives an account of a white man selling his wife and two children to his brother for "two fishing nets." The same newspaper, in the same issue reports the case of a South Carolina white man who confessed on his deathbed that he had murdered his wife for which three black men were lynched. The villain declared that he did not wish to die before he made a confession.—Ex. Buy your spring hat from Thomas Gallagher, 250 West Madison st., for he carries all the leading styles and shapes at the lowest prices. Alex. Stephens, the large sized K. P., has for some reason or other permitted some soft brained fool to make him believe that "his saintly brother Sir Knight, the Rev. Abraham Lincoln Murray, will send us to Jail if his name appears in the columns of this paper." Such rot or talk may please many weak minded people who think immoral preachers are all powreful, and all we have to say is that Cols. Murray, Wilkins, Morris, Carey, Little Whisky Bill Ward, and their entire bunch do not draw enough water to land the writer in jail. The leading Afro-American Republicans of this city are as mad as old wet hens because the Republican Senators absolutely refused to record their votes in favor of confirming the nomination of Dr. W. D. Crum as Collector of the Port at Charleston, S. C. Nevertheless they will continue to be the cringing political slaves of their Lordly white Rep. masters, and are ever ready to do their bidding whenever they wave the "bloody shirt." Mention the name of Abraham Lincoln, and crack their slave whips over their heads. John P. Hopkins, Chairman of the Democratic State Committee of Illinois, ran all over Boss Pat White in the first Congressional District last Monday, and Pat White, who never has any use for colored people unless they enable him to eat at the public crib, will not be a delegate to the State convention. He will also be kicked off the County Central Committee. In the final round up John P. Hopkins, who should be selected as Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, scored a great victory over "Our Carter" and his Lieutenants. The Lily White Republicans met in the city of New Orleans, La., the first of the week for the purpose of electing delegates to the Republican National Convention, and after a pretended hard fight on the part of one or two white men in favor of selecting an Afro-American as a delegate. It was decided by the convention that it would not do to put the Negro on social equality with the Lily Whites, and the result was that all the colored delegates were barred from the State convention, and the Lily Whites will represent the Afro-American Republicans at the Chicago Convention. President Roosevelt has selected Justice Peter C. Pritchard of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, to be the United States Circuit Court Judge for the fourth circuit, which includes the states of Md., N. C., S. C., Va., and W. Va. Justice Pritchard was not many years ago a United States Senator from N. C., and as such he favored the Disfranchisement Law which the "red shirters" and the other so-called best friends of the Negro voted for in 1900. Justice Pritchard was very active in organizing the "Lily White Republican party throughout the South. No Time to Read Now. Marquis Ito, the Japanese statesman, is described as an indefatigable reader of European and American literature. He reads not only the standard works, but the new publications and the current periodicals of both hemispheres are devoured. He reads German, French, English and Chinese as easily as he reads his own language. He has been accustomed to give five to six hours a day to reading. Now, perhaps, he has been obliged to cut short those precious hours. American Looms in London Our consul at Nottingham notes that the recent visit of British cottonspinners to the United States has already resulted in the adoption of the American automatic loom in several of the largest English mills. Other American inventions for facilitating weaving operations are being tried. Some of them encounter opposition from the workmen who are relieved by the new machinery from duties which they formerly performed by hand. Flight of Big Birds. Of birds now in existence, probably the one with the greatest expanse of wing in proportion to the body and with the greatest power of flight is the frigate or man-o'-war bird. This bird apparently flies more by skill than by strength, for it has not great carrying powers. The wandering albatross, the largest of all seabirds, is also one of our strongest flyers. One bird was known to fly at least 3,150 miles in 12 days. The Pope's Good Fellowship The other day the Vatican architect, Constantine Schneider, had occasion to see the holy father in order to submit some plans. As he was retiring Plus X. smilingly said: "Mr. Schneider, do you know that we are related?" The architect was astonished, but Plus X. added: "Well, Schneider in German signifies just what Sarto means in Italian—a tailor. Therefore, we must come from the same family." Fatal Shock by Telephone. A verdict for $15,000 damages has been procured at Media, Pa., in a peculiar suit against a telephone company. The children of Thomas F. Delahunt sued for that sum because of the death of their father from a shock received over the telephone. A heavily charged electric light wire which had fallen across the telephone circuit caused the fatal shock. N. Y. Tribune. SAUERKRAUT EXPERIENCE. Some Difficulties Encountered by Men Who Stored or Sold It in Large Quantities. A farmer who raises cabbage and manufactures sauerkraut on a large scale was trying to sell 50 barrels of that delicacy to a Front street dealer. The dealer, says the Portland Oregonian, did not appear eager to buy. He said he could hardly get rid of so much sauerkraut before summer, and it was dangerous stuff to have around in hot weather, for it was likely to ferment in the barrels. He said his partner and another dealer on the street had a deal in kraut some years ago which was not profitable. They both had a big lot of the stuff, about 80 barrels in all, on a lower wharf on the city front and did not know what to do with it, as the weather was becoming warm. Finally they agreed to play cards to see who should have the whole, and his partner, who was a crackerjack at cribbage, won. They decided to ship it to San Francisco, but the next day one of the barrels exploded, threw down part of the warehouse and plastered everything within gunshot with the seething, fermenting, nasty-smelling stuff. After cleaning up, the remaining barrels were placed on a steamer and sent to San Francisco. The night after they were landed the warehouse in which they were placed was burned, and they lost the whole lot and narrowly escaped a big damage suit, as it was charged that the fire was caused by the spontaneous combustion of the kraut. Since that time he takes his allowance of cabbage after being cooked with corned beef and well saturated with vinegar. WORLD'S RICHEST FAMILY Wealth of Rothschilds Foots Up to a Total of a Billion and A writer in the Tattler, a London publication which is nearly always bright, and often very well informed, argues that however great the riches of the American millionaires may be, there is no family in the United States which approaches the wealth of the Rothschilds. He makes a good case. It appears that careful estimates of the possessions of the French branch of the family place its riches at or above $300,000,000. The British Rothschilds are rated still higher in the financial world. The German members of the family which won its first success in that country are also very rich, and there are other Rothschilds still to be reckoned with. Altogether, it is claimed that the wealth of the entire family is not less than $1,500,000,000. If that sum is anywhere near the marks, then it follows that there is no American family anything like so rich as the Rothschilds. They can easily outweigh any other house in the extent and value of their property. And most of it is very solid and safe. From the first, the Rothschilds have been careful and shrewd in handling their immense wealth. No one can set a limit on its probable accumulations a generation hence. Origin of the Muff. The muff when first introduced was the exclusive property of the nobility, and originated in Venice. These muffs were very small, and consisted of a single piece of velvet, brocade or silk, lined with fur, and the openings fastened with rich jewels. Such arrangements came in during the early part of the seventeenth century, but in the previous century the ladies frequently carried a piece of rich fur, which they used either as a muff or a neckpiece. Camels Not Superseded. Owing to heavy port charges at Beirut and relatively high freight rates on the Lebanon railway during the harvest, some 4,000 to 6,000 camels, each with a burden of 500 pounds of grain, daily pass between the interior of Syria and the sea via Nazareth. The camel driver, however, claims half of the load as his reward, and the farmer, after paying taxes, for seed, etc., has scant compensation for his labor. Romance in Real Life Tennyson's poem, "The Lord of Burleigh," was founded on a romance of real life which had for its hero a former marquis of Exeter. As Mr. Henry Cecil he fell in love with a cottage girl named Hoggins and, pretending to be a poor and humble man, he wooed and won her. She was the Sarah marchioness of Exeter, who died on January 18, 1797. Population of Brazil. The population of Brazil is 16,000,000, of which 1,500,000 are Italians, 1,000,000 Portuguese, 25,000 Germans, 4,000 English, 400 Americans and about 20,000 of various other nationalities. The average number of immigrants is about 3,000 a year, the Italians predominating; the German immigration is about 200 a year. Quite an Idea.
