The Broad Ax

BROADAX 6 YEARS IN CHICAGO The Broad Ax is Still Doing Business at the Same Old Stand While Many of Its Competitors in This City Have Ceased to Exist REV. ARCHIBALD JAMES CAREY FAILED IN HIS EF- FORTS TO PU IT TO SLEEP Six years ago today the writer began re-publishing The Broad Ax in this city, after publishing it for four years prior to that time in Salt Lake City, Utah, and from July 15, 1899, down to the present time it has never failed to make its appearance once each week. At the time we began publishing The Broad Ax at this point it had only one or two regular readers among the whites, and none among the Afro-Americans, but by working day and night and by brushing aside all pleasure whenever it interfered with business, The Broad Ax has gone steadily forward and the result is that at the present time it is a fixture in the homes of the best members of both races, and we feel safe in saying "that there is not another newspaper published in this section of the country, in the interest of the Afro-Americans, that is read as extensively among the Anglo-Saxons as The Broad Ax. But with all that it is one of the best and one of the strongest race papers in the United States. Within the past six years many efforts have been made by those who hate to hear the truth to crush it out but they have all failed in their diabolical schemes in that direction. A little less than three years ago, Rev. Archibald James Carey solemnly promised his God that with the assistance of Little William H. Ward, Capt H. C. Carter, Rev. Abraham Lincoln Murray, Elder Jasper F. Thomas, Col. D. R. Wilkins, and Company, "that he would crush it out in less than two weeks from that time, and that distinguished Bible pounder actually indeveloed to have it excluded from the United States malls, thinking that that would be the best method to pursue, in order to choke it to death, but all their efforts to retard its onward march was in vain, and it is still doing business at the same old stand, while its so-called competitors who willingly joined hands with Rev. Archibald James Carey to put it to sleep are things of the past. The Broad Ax is the only race paper in this city that stands strictly on its merits; in order to exist it has never been placed on sale on Sundays in any church like the rest of the alleged newspapers, whose would-be editors send the papers free to the preachers, so that they will be enabled to pick up a few unearned dimes, by urging the Devines to recommend their sheets to the members of their churches, and to induce them to turn over their job printing to them. No newspaper is worthy of the patronage of the general public if it is compelled to resort to such methods in order to exist. In the past six years these papers have not only furnished free copies to the majority of the ministers for the purpose of influencing them to aid their editors to knock out The Broad Ax, but some of them have carried advertising matter free of charge or for almost nothing with the view of killing it off, but with all their underhanded scheming they have utterly failed to budge or shake the solid foundation of The Broad Ax in the slightest degree and it is stronger and more popular today than ever, and as its circulation is continually on the increase among the most substantial class of both races, its advertising rates are soaring higher and higher and as it is absolutely free from debt, it is, therefore, able to assume an independent attitude in relation to politics and in discussing men and measures. Right at this point it might not be out of place to state, that for the past six years, we have each week furnished one free copy of The Broad-Ax to the Public Library of Chicago where it is read by hundreds of people and it is the only newspaper published in the interest of the Afro-American race in this city, on file in the Public Library, one free copy each week to the Old Folks' Home, one to the Provident Hospital, one to the Hull House, one to the Amanda Smith Home Harvey, Ill., and five copies to Mrs. Mary Loftis, for the women prisoners, black and white, in the Cook County Jail; aside from these free copies, we make an honest effort to gather in the money from every other person who receives a copy of the paper each week. The most unpleasant duty to perform in connection with a newspaper is to collect in the money to keep it a going, for there are many readers of every newspaper who entertain the idea that editors or those connected with a paper have nothing to do but to run a thousand times after their subscriptions, and there are many people who will tell a thousand lies about paying their indebtedness to a newspaper for they think it is smart to beat an editor out of 25c or 50c or any amount of money, and from henceforth we only have one object in view, and that is to strive to retain all readers of The Board Ax who willingly and cheerfully pay their honest obligations to it, and to rid its mailing list of barefaced liars and dead-beats. Joseph W. Erant is the new President of the Civil Service Commission, and as a member of that body for the past three years, he has been very fair in passing judgment upon the acts of Afro-Americans who work for the city, and as he has been willing to give them a shade the best of the situation, they are pleased to learn that he has been selected President of the Civil Service Board. HEW TO THE LINE. CHICAGO, JULY 15, 1905. Who Was One of the Most Eminent Knights of Pythias in the United States. Early Saturday morning, July 8th, Col. Fred T. Carey, 2637 LaSalle St., the well known business manager for Col. Robert T. Motts, 2700 State St., after a severe spell of illness passed away from among his relatives and friends. Col. Carey was comparatively speaking still a young man. He was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1859 and received his education in the public schools of that city and Gains' College. For several years after arriving at the age of manhood he toured the country with various theatrical troupes and in 1888 he permanently located in this city and became united in marriage to Miss Clara Bell, who with his mother, survive him. For sixteen years as before stated, he was the business manager for Col. Robert T. Motts, and his place can never be filled in that capacity, for he was thoroughly honest as such and strictly devoted himself to the interest of his employer. King, Mrs. Haskins, Mrs. Bell, Mr. Will Davis, Miss Walker, Mrs. Townend and Miss Stewart were some of the prominent occupants of the many carriages. On arriving at Quinn Chapel the members in full uniform of the following companies were assigned to reserved seats: Crispus Attucks Company 1, Chevrolic Company No. 2 Banner Company No. 3, Illinois Company 1, Chevoldic Company No. 2 Cicero Company No. 9, Syracuse Company No. 12 and the staff officers of the above uniform rank K. P.s. as sited to perform the last sad rites over Col. Carey's remains. The pulpit and the entire front of the platform was adorned with the numerous floral offerings which filled one carriage in transporting them to and from the church. Among the many notable floral offerings was a design of Gates Ajar, Hon. Edward D. Green; large harp, Col. Robert T. Motts; Mr. and Mrs. Harry Letcher. Being a prominent Knights of Pythias and a member of Major-General R. R. Jackson's staff, the funeral services over his remains at Quinn Chapel at 1 o'clock Monday, which were laid to rest in Oakwood Cemetery, were conducted by that order. The line of march from the residence to the church was, 27th to State, State to 26th, 26th to Wabash and north on that avenue to the church. The funeral procession was headed by the K. P. Band, followed by Major A. F. Tervalon Marshall and Major-General R. R. Jackson and staff, Col. R. A. Ware and staff, Pythias Lodge No. 2 K. of P. as chief escort, then followed the hearse which was proceeded by Col. Carey's favorite saddle horse, which was draped in deep mourning. His cap, shoulder knots and gauntlets resting on the casket in full view. Next came eighteen carriages containing the mourners, distinguished persons and delegations. The active pallebearers consisted of six staff officers as follows: Major L. K. Gilbert, Sir C. W. Lloyd, Brother Gilbert King, Brother B. W. Fitts, G. Wright and Harry Letcher. Sam Lucas, George Conley, Sam Duncan, Harry Barnum, John Burroughs, James Miller, John Frye, E. J. Smith, John Simons, Henry Jones, William H. Clark and John Martin were the honorary pallbearers. Col. Robert Motts, Hon. E. D. Green, Mrs. A. F. Tervalon and children, Mrs. B. W. Flits, Mrs. H. Letcher, Mrs. G. King, Mrs. Haskins, Mrs. Bell, Mr. Will Davis, Miss Walker, Mrs. Townend and Miss Stewart were some of the prominent occupants of the many carriages. On arriving at Quinn Chapel the members in full uniform of the following companies were assigned to reserved seats: Crispus Attucks Company 1, Chevrolic Company No. 2, Banner Company No. 3, Illinois Company 1, Chevoldic Company No. 2, Cicero Company No. 9, Syracuse Company No. 12 and the staff officers of the above uniform rank K. P's. assisted to perform the last sad rites over Col. Carey's remains. The pulpit and the entire front of the platform was adorned with the numerous floral offerings which filled one carriage in transporting them to and from the church. Among the many notable floral offerings was a design of Gates Ajar, Hon. Edward D. Green; large harp, Col. Robert T. Motts; Mr. and Mrs. Harry Letcher, large anchor; Gates Ajar form the employees 2700 State St.; pillow, Maj. and Mrs. A. F. Tervalon; large wreath with dove and heart in the center and two hundred red roses which was donated to the widow by Mrs. J. J. Manley. Rev. D. P. Roberts, the popular pastor of Quinn Chapel, opened the services by reading several selections from the Bible and very briefly and eloquently referred to the many sterling qualities of the eminent dead Knight of Pythias, who had been called by his maker into another world. He greatly rejoiled over the fact that before passing away, Col. Carey had experienced a change of heart and felt sure that as he started in the right direction or heavenward before it was too late that the all wise and merciful God would permit him to enter in to the glory of the saints. At the conclusion of his remarks, he introduced the Rev. E. J. Fisher, pastor of Olivet Baptist church, who walked about and preached a rousing old-time sermon. Rev. Fisher related how well he had become acquainted with Col. Carey, how highly he esteemed him for his many noble traits of character and how Col. Motts called at his church the Wednesday evening before he passed away and earnestly urged him to accompany him to the bedside of his sick friend and administer spiritual consolation to him. How he succeeded in convincing him that the NEW YORK CITY NEWS Professional Notes and Interesting Comments Dr. Daniel H. Williams Held in the Highest Esteem in the Eastern Metropolis A NEW POET OF THE RACE LOOMS UP IN BOSTON The Afro-American Realty Co. is doing an excellent business in New York City and vinclinity. It is indeed gratifying to know we have at least one real estate company of real gentlemen who are capable of securing respectable flats and dwellings for our people to live in and in good neighborhoods. The company has an excellent suite of offices in Broadway with a clever staff of assistants and it is a credit to the race to note how courteous and thorough they attend to business. The company also has an uptown office at 67 W. 134th St., where Mr. Philip A. Payton, Jr., is always glad to supply all reliable parties with desirable houses, storerooms, flats, etc. Harvard's clever coach Matthews, came over from Cambridge to New York Wednesday to witness the bicycle race between the local clubs; also to visit friends. Mr. Matthews is a credit to himself and our race. Mr. Charles W. Anderson, the former Race Commissioner, was duly sworn in July 1st as Port Collector of this district of New York. His co-laborers and multitude of friends wish him every success and all good will in his new office. Nearly all the public buildings and stores, as well as many clubs and private places have been flying old glory at half-mast out of respect to the memory of our late and lamented Secretary of State, Mr. John Hay. No gentleman has ever served his country more loyally or better than the late John Hay. He will be chronicled in history and the Hall of Fame as a truly great man and honorable lover of his God, country, family and his fellowmen. New York and Chicago fathers and mothers who have eligible sons, should not hesitate to send them to Harvard College or the Boston Institute of Technology. There is a great deal of discussion in New York of late as to which one should kiss first and how often, that is between husband and wife, and especially in normal condition. The more the discussion grows in New York the deeper the mystery of solving this delicate problem of domestic osculation. Probably the Chicago girls( married girls of course) could supply a reasonable solution. Now Mrs. Chicago please try. Mr. William Rountree, a popular business man of Omaha, Neb., is in our city for a short stay and is delighted with the success our race are having as real business men. Since his recent visit to the metropolis Dr. Daniel H. Williams is now conceded by our best physicians and surgeons here to be a peer in his specialty and his work is indispensable. With "Teddy" in the White House again for four years, it is possible for some of our brilliant youths who would court military honors, to try for West Point Academy. Truly those who once entered would get a square deal, or "Teddy" would assist us in finding a way to secure the same. Wake up boys and get your Congressmen and U. S. Senators interested. When Chinamen come all the way from No.38 CITY NEWS Notes and In- Comments Williams Held in the em in the East- etropolis THE RACE LOOMS BOSTON Pekin and Hong Kong to get there, why can't you try? Please try. We must have some West Point cadets. Even though the many Irish and Italian labor unions are organized against colored men, we have moved up a notch in the labor world in New York. The colored waiters have 14 houses more (hotels and cafes, etc.) than they did 36 months ago. And many colored teamsters and draymen are working for contractors now who never before employed colored men. No one coming to visit New York City should go awry without first seeing General Grant's Mansoleum, overlooking the beautiful Hudson, and making a trip to Coney Island. Dear old Coney is all new now and a veritable electric inspiration when illuminated at night. And last and best to hear Dr. Bishop preach at St. Phillips Church and his famous vested choir solos, cheats and hymns will drive all your trouble away. The noted young chef of Chicago and Louisville, Mr. G. K. Vernon, is visiting friends in New York, and is located at 149 W. 53rd street. Mr. Phillip R. Miller, the well known Chicagoan, formally owner of the Tennessee Jubilee Singers and proprietor of the "Hottest Coon Dixie Co," musical comedy, is in New York, registered at the Nail Brothers' Hotel. Colored Americans may well feel proud of our youthful poet Mr. W. Stanley Braithwaite, of Boston, Mass., for he is proud of us, and if in doubt, learn for yourself by buying one of his books of poems or lyrics of life and love, etc., etc. We cannot establish a literature worthy of the name unless we encourage the genius of our race in all their noble, lofty, and worthy efforts. To know and feel the love and interests of our race better we must read and study the writings and works of such brilliant young writers as Braithwaite, Dunbar, D. E. Tobias, Chas. W. Chesnutt, Prof. DuBois, The Grimkes, and even Robert Browning, who was an octoroon. The recent close of "In Dahomey," Williams and Walker's famous operatic-comedy, recorded one of the successful runs of any similar production which the world has ever seen, regardless of color or color prejudice. During the trans-continental tour "In Dahomey's" drawing broke the record from coast to coast, and played the same house for a run twice in one season, namely: The Grand in New York City, opening there a two weeks' run to record business and closing the same house with a three weeks' run. Mr. George W. Walker, to whom more than any one else as far as the business of the company is concerned, is due the credit, aside from his clever acting, for the continual unabated financial prosperity of the W. & W. Co. They are at work now with Mr. Jesse Shipp on their new Ethiopian comicopera, "Abbesynla" in which Mesags, Williams and Walker will star, jointly as heretofore.

Write only on one side of the paper. THE BROAD AX 6040 Armour Avenue, Chicago. JULIUS F. TAYLOR, Editor and Publisher. Entered at the Post Office at Chicago, M., as Second-class Matter. No pride in Oppression and Servility. Booker T. Washington says: "I am proud of the quaint, melancholy and beautiful slave songs in which the scrow and the hopes of my people found expression." I am not proud when I hear them sing these songs. I am sad. They are the death throes of the soul; they are wallings and not songs; they are the music of agony and despair; they tell of the horrors of the "middle passage," of the scourge and the lash, of branding irons, of the violent tearing asunder of the tenderest ties of nature; through the vein of their melancholy runs the cry of debased manhood and ruined womanhood produced by the brutality of slavery. These songs are slave songs, the "dead marches" for human hope and ambition. Let us wipe them out, forget them, like we should the horrors of times which produced them." Washington seems to be proud of so many things that the Negro did which prove his servility and abjection rather than his manhood. Again, he says: "I am proud that these same slaves proved faithful, in their hour of trial, to the southern people; that when their masters were called from their firesides to war, they dared trust their wives and children to these faithful servants, and that in all that period of disorder not once was trust be-traved." But what called these masters from their firesides to war? Their desire to perpetuate their power to enslave and pollute the wives and children of the very men whom they left at home to protect the master's wives and children. These Negroes were wise rather than faithful. They were between the camps of the great confederate army that General Grant took more than four years to conquer, and, any uprising on their part would have turned the guns of that army upon them, and annihilation would have been the result. Anyway, unlike their masters, they were too many to offend defenseless women and children. They may have been faithful servants all right, but they were not contented servants, for they anxiously watched for the coming of deliverance. I am more proud of the Negro who escaped, joined the army and fought the battles of his freedom than the Negro who remained. I am more proud of the Negro who met his master at Fort Wagoner and Port Hudson than of that object and craven "cuss" who willingly picked cotton while his master was forging the chains for the perpetual enslavement of his race. From such talk as Booker T. Washington is now putting forth it is to be inferred that he will be a large contributor to the monument which is to be erected at Richmond to the faithful slave. He seems to be the apostle of servility and submission. The faithful slave is no example for men. We pity "Uncle Tom," we neither emulate nor admire him. White men are proud of Washington, Hamden, Lafayette, William Tell, and true Negroes are proud of Toulssant L'Ouverture, not of some semi-idiot who believes that, in order to be Christian, he must be servile. The manly Negro rejects, with Lord Brougham, "The wild and gullity phantasy" and feels the finger of God writing liberty upon his own heart.—The Advance, St. Louis, Mo. Tribute to the Memory of Col. Fred T. Carey by Crippus Attucks Company No. 1 RESOLUTIONS Whereas, It has pleased the Almighty God to take from our ranks our late esteemed brother and valiant Sir Knight, Colonel Frederick T.

Lord even as he was, had compassion on him, and with open arms and extended hands was ready and willing to receive him just as he was if he would only trust and believe in him. How the light from on high shone down upon them when he declared that he was willing to accept the Lord Jesus Christ as his guide and Saviour. Every once in awhile Rev. Fisher figuratively speaking, caught up the great multitude which filled every inch of space in Quinn Chapel, by the nap of their necks and shook them around over the lowest abyss of Shoel, which caused many of those present to cry out in terror. He warned his hearers not to wait until it was too late, but to seek the Lord at once, as Col. Carey barely escaped falling into the place where he would suffer endless torment and swept through the pearly gates of Heaven just in time to prevent the devil from laying hands upon him and claiming him as his own, that if his friends waited too long they might not be able to make a home run and land in Heaven. Major-General R. R. Jackson, just as soon as Rev. Fisher ceased speaking entered the pulpit and read the resolutions which appear in another column of this paper, and also paid a high tribute to the memory of his staff officer and late comrade in behalf of the uniform rank K. P's throughout the world. A string orchestra furnished the music for the solemn occasion. A quartette sang very sweetly and Bert Johnson sang a solo which was rather inappropriate at the time. Clifford Johnson, 2712 State St., who is one of the most expert undertakers and embalmers, in this county had entire charge of the funeral, and he conducted and managed it so skillfully that there was not the slightest hitch in it from beginning to end. It was one of the finest and one of the largest funeral so for held among the Afro-Americans in Chicago. sections of the South 10 or 12 Afro-Americans have been unlawfully murdered in the past two weeks and yet there are many fools who claim that mob and lynch law is a thing of the past in this so-called highly civilized country.

He will be absent until the 1st of August, and Mrs. DePriest, who has spent the past two months in that part of the west will return home with him. The Eighth Infantry Illinois National Guards, under the leadership of Col. John R.

County Commissioner Oscar De Priest's civil rights suit against the White City and the College Inn came up before Justice J. K. Prindiville Tuesday and the attorneys for the White City called for a jury trial which was granted and their verdict was adverse to Mr. De Priest who will appeal his case through his attorney Edward E. Wilson, and as every case so far, which has been carried to the upper courts, have been won by the plaintiffs, it is only a question of time until Messrs. De Priest, Smiley and Williams will obtain judgments against the management of the White City for drawing the color line. The Plaindealer of Topeka, Kan., in its last issue reproduced our entire article entitled "The Afro-Americans, Their Oddities and Eccentricities in Relation to Newspapers Published in the Interest of the Race," and it gave The Broad Ax full credit for the same, which shows that Brother Nick Chiles is fair and square. The Sentinel of East St. Louis, published our article in its entirety respecting Chief O'Nell and the colored policemen, and it had the manhood to credit it up to this paper, while at the same time, some ten or fifteen papers dished up our reference to the wealth of Col.

The latter composing some of the best musical, as well as singing talent that could be secured. The critics say it is a real innovation. Mr. Hogan is a real Negro artist, and a student of his every vehicle. The famous American artists, Cole and Johnson, are reported as an instantaneous hit in London. The British public know and appreciate refined artists, when you hand them the real goods and deliver the same so they can see and hear you. "The Two Brittons," Sadie and Joe, report a gratifying reception in their first European debate at Buda-Pest, Hungary.

"A collection of buttonholes was the pride of a certain queen in one of Stockton's fairy tales," said a Milwaukee millionaire. "I collect the next thing to buttonholes, namely, buttons. And I can tell you when buttons and buttonholes first came into use, who invented them, how they spread gradually over the world, together with many other things of interest." The millionaire's glass cases contained many beautiful, many historical buttons. He turned to the case labeled "Chinese." "Here," he said, "are the buttons which the mandarins of China wear on their caps to indicate their rank. This silver button is the emblem of the mandarin of the ninth class—the lowest class. The plain gold button denotes the eighth class mandarin. The seventh class wears the gold button to the right, the one ornately carved. That beautiful button of jade belongs to the sixth class, and the fifth wears a button of pure rock crystal. The fourth class mandarin's button is that one of dark purple crystal. The third class' is the sapphire. The second's is coral red. "With each of the buttons an official bird goes. The bird is embroidered on the breast of the official coat. The mandarin of the second class has for his bird the cock; the third class has the peacock, the fourth has the pelican, the fifth has the silver pheasant, the sixth has the story, the seventh has the partridge, the eighth has the quail and the ninth has the sparrow." FASHION'S COLOR FREAKS. Transformations in Woman's Complexion Productive of Connubial Confusion. "I'm glad I'm not my wife," said the dyspeptic, according to the Philadelphia Record, as he settled down to his hygienic luncheon of rare roast beef, creamed onions and boiled rice; "I'd be dead if I were. I have trouble enough keeping alive as it is. Fancy the shape I'd be in if I had to change my spots—I mean my color—as often as fickle fashion dictates. Why, I've forgotten what color my wife originally was, she's undergone so many beauty transformations. And now she's got to do it again. A friend just back from the other side has told her that though red hair continues to be the proper caper it must now be backed up by green eyes and a dead white skin. The hair and skin are easy enough, but even my wife is a little afraid of the beauty specialist who is willing to undertake to make her eyes look green. There's just one grain of comfort in it all for me—though she achieve the pallid skin, the green eyes and the red hair it will not give her a temperament to correspond. I shall enjoy the modicum of peace it is in her capricious nature to allow me." HER MANNER MAY CHANGE When a Woman Is Displeased She Is Not Forgetful of Society Manners. She was plainly irritated about something and sat pouting as she ate in a downtown restaurant, and not saying a word to the man with her, evidently her husband, relates the Chicago Tribune. Before the luncheon was finished another man came in. The husband knew him and called him over to their table and introduced him. The woman was then all smirks and smiles. Her anger disappeared completely, and she even included her husband in her sunny views of life. "That's society manners all right," said a girl at another table, "but did you ever see anything so foolish. It's a good guess she wants a hat or money to buy something of the sort from her husband and is going to pout till she gets it, but what a contrast her manner is to the man she's never seen before and isn't likely to see again! It must look as absurd to the husband as it does to us. If ever I have a husband I'll not set about it that way when I want to get something out of him." Bridling the Tongue There is more than mere cynicism in Talleyrand's remark that "speech was given to man to conceal his thoughts." If we are to live in peace and harmony with our fellows we must conceal many thoughts, unless we are endowed with a mind in which no unkind or unpleasant thought can find lodgment. We may think that Neighbor X is more agreeable than Neighbor Y, and that Mrs. A's daughter is more beautiful than Mrs. B's, and that Dr. Pill is a better physician than Dr. Pellet; but what unpleasantness it would create if we were to say these things to Dr. Pellet, or to Mrs. B, or to Neighbor Y! -Youth's Companion.

Is Broad Field of Work and Value to the Country at Large—Sir Mortimer Durand "A Good Fellow." WASHINGTON. — In a big stone mansion on Capitol hill, just south of the capitol building, a genial, florid-complexioned, sandy - mustached gentleman, decidedly stout and of W medium height, has his headquarters. There is nothing unusual about his appearance, but his name is known throughout the length and breadth of this land, and for that matter throughout the world, wherever disease and infection exist. This is Surgeon-General Walter Wyman, the conservator of the nation's health. He is at the head of the public health and marine hospital service, and his name is associated with every important movement looking to the control of epidemics and the prevention of diseases and plagues entering the borders of the United States. Dr. Wyman is a modest gentleman, who never intrudes himself on public notice, but his position at the head of the health department of the government brings him into prominence, and the work of his bureau has been so important and at times almost sensational that it necessarily has made him one of the best-known of public officials. Dr. Wyman has worked, during the 14 years he has occupied his present place, in favor of national health laws and regulations and quarantine. He has successfully opposed the old regimes of shotgun quarantine that obtained in the south. The United States health officers are now recognized everywhere, and no longer opposed in the discharge of their duties. Dr. Wyman has been able during his administration to so police the frontiers with inspectors of his bureau as to reduce to the minimum the danger of the introduction of yellow fever and cholera. Surgeon-General Wyman was in the marine hospital service before he was called to his present position. He was four years at the head of the marine hospital in Baltimore, and in addition to looking after the health of American seamen, he found time to take up the fight against the cruelty practiced on crews of oyster vessels. He was also in the marine hospital in New York. Unique Organization. URING the administration of Surgeon General Wyman, the marine hospital service has made great strides, because congress has been awakened to the URING the administration of Surgeon General Wyman, the marine hospital service has made great strides, because congress has been awakened to the necessity of national safeguards to the health of the people. This public health service has a rather interesting history, as it is unique in the governments of the world. No such organization exists in any other country, and probably no function of our federal government carries with it more arbitrary and far reaching powers than the enforcement of health regulations. The marine hospital service was established by act of congress July 16, 1798. Within two years there was established isolated hospitals at Norfolk, Boston, Newport and Charleston. Up to 1871, when the service was reorganized under a single head, a dozen hospitals had been established, including those at Baltimore, New York, and Evansville, Ind. For three-quarters of a century there was a very lax administration of these isolated hospitals. When the service was reorganized, Surgeon General Woodworth became its head, and improvement at once followed. The upbuilding of the service is slow work, however, but under Dr. Wyman, who took charge 14 years ago, this service, which then only looked after the sick merchant sailors, was transformed into a national health service, controlling national and interstate quarantine, and the inspection of the millions of immigrants who come to this country. The bureau also handles epidemics, state, national and insular, and controls the production and distribution of serums, viruses, toxins and analogous products. It conducts scientific research along hygienic lines, either in the finely equipped laboratory in this city or in some part of the territory or possessions of the United States. The hygienic laboratory which now occupies the old naval observatory, is engaged in most important investigations. It promises in time to become one of the great institutions of the United States devoted to medical research. Of the 350 doctors connected with the bureau some of the brightest are assigned to work in this laboratory. It is studying leprosy, spotted fever and looking after the purity of drugs, as well as inspecting the serums of anti-toxins. Soil Inoculation. T EN years ago the proposition that soils could be inoculated and made more productive would have been laughed at by the average farmer in the country. Today it is a recognized fact that bacteriological inoculation of the soil for leguminous plants will work a revolution in the worn-out fields of the eastern states. The department of agriculture developed this idea, and although its practical application is less than three years old, it has now passed the experimental stage. That the agriculturists of the country believe In this theory is evidenced by the deluge of applications that has come to the department here for cultures of soil-inoculating bacteria. The great majority of these applicants are apt to be disappointed, as the department has not the ability to supply all the demands. Secretary Wilson does not claim that the cultures are beneficial to the soil or to crops under all circumstances. They must be applied to legumes. The direct benefit is reported in more than 75 per cent. of the cases where the cultures have been used. Since the first of the year a company has established a plant in Pennsylvania for the purpose of cultivation of soil inoculating bacteria, and another plant is in operation in Vermont. There promises to grow up a very considerable industry in this line, and as the agricultural department is also supplying these cultures a monopoly of the business by any one firm or combination will be prevented. It has been demonstrated by the department that the cost of the material for a culture capable of inoculating an acre is but four cents. Commercial concerns are charging from $1.50 to two dollars an acre for cultures. Second Assistant Secretary of State Secretary of State WAY off in southern France there is one of the most useful of our public officials enjoying himself to his heart's content after his own fashion. He is a small, undersized man. WAY off in southern France there is one of the most useful of our public officials enjoying himself to his heart's content after his own fashion. He is a small, undersized man. deaf almost as a post and afflicted with a stoppage in his speech. This does not prevent him, however, extracting a maximum of enjoyment out of his vacation, which he annually takes in southern France and northern Spain, historical and pleasant regions which he explores on a bicycle. This is a rather inadequate description of Hon. Alvey A. Adee, whose official designation is the second assistant secretary of state, but it will suffice to picture him to the hundreds of people who have had to do business at the state department. Secretary Adee's whole life has been devoted to diplomacy, and if the truth were known, the majority of the able state papers that have appeared over the names of much more famous men than he during the last 20 years have been of his composition. He is an expert in the use of diplomatic language, and in the construction of correspondence that will carry harsh truths in the softest terma. Not long ago Mr. Adee presided at the meeting of the directors of the bureau of American republics. As he could not hear any motion made or speeches delivered, he worked out a programme which he had typewritten and given to each member. In this programme the order of business was indicated and the time to be allotted to each subject. The number of minutes each member was to be allowed to speak was also indicated. Mr. Adee called the meeting to order exactly on time and then with a split-second watch before him proceeded to carry out the programme. Some of the grandiloquent South and Central American ministers were much astounded to be cut off in the midst of their speeches by the sharp pounding of Mr. Adee's gavel. The latter never let on for a moment that he knew he was interfering with speeches, but immediately announced the next order of business, and in this way the meeting was conducted on schedule time and according to the Adee programme. New British Ambassador. HE. new British ambassador, Sir Mortimer Durand, is already voted a "jolly good fellow" by those with whom he has come in contact in Washington's social and official circles. T There is nothing of the aristocrat about him, and he takes the keenest interest in American manners, customs and sports. Like his predecessor, Sir Michael Herbert, and also like the late Lord Pauncefote, Sir Mortimer seems destined to increase the entente cordial between Great Britain and the United States. He is a welcome visitor at the white house, and President Roosevelt is really very fond of him. The fact is that Mr. Roosevelt enjoys an actual comradeship with several of the ambassadors, notably Durand, Sternberg and Jusserand. The latter is a prime favorite with all the officials. Secretary Taft says he likes him because he is really the one diplomat who can thoroughly appreciate the subtlety of American humor. Ambassador Durand has a sort of fad in the study of child life. Wherever he has been stationed he has gathered some interesting data about the manners and methods of the juvenile population. He has been greatly amused in observing the newsbots of New York and also the young colored and white arabs of the streets of Washington, but he thinks that for juvenile intelligence the little folks of Persia take the palm. As an illustration of this, he relates an incident that occurred when he represented Great Britain at Teheran. He and some of the legation people got up a picnic and told the cook to prepare a luncheon. The latter said that his children would pack the basket, as they were well acquainted with British ways. When Sir Mortimer himself unpacked the drinkables, in which were claret and brandy, he found a package of peppermint drops tied to each bottle. He was a little startled to find how closely the Persian youngsters had studied English ways. WAYS OF WILD ANIMALS. Actions of the Skunk, Coon and Otter Are at Times Very Interesting. Own cousin in foolishness to the rabbit is the skunk. Confident of his awful weapon of defense, a skunk is only equaled in reckless bravery by the porcupine, and both are too stupid to take any warning, says a Washington Star writer. Around army camps, where the cooks cut open canned food with a hatchet, it is not an uncommon thing to catch skunks near by. The top of the can-being cut in quarters by two blows from the hatchet, it is emptied of its contents and thrown on the waste pile. If that can happened to have held salmon, it is irresistible to any skunk or coon that passes to leeward of it. A little investigation locates it, a paw is tried and then a nose. The yielding top allows an entrance, but forbids an exit, and so, with the can as a hood, the prowler falls a victim to those in the camp. It is interesting to note the actions of an otter when he finds the tracks of a man near his home. He stops and his hair bristles up and he casts a furtive look around as if he had been caught in the act of stealing chickens. Little by little he edges away, and if he has a wife and children, sneaks off to them and hustles them out and away from the place. He knows the dangers of civilization. The wildcat and mountain lion, after one experience with a trap, become very wise and hence correspondingly hard to trap, but a strange thing about most animals that are wise in avoiding steel traps is that they seem to know that when a trap is sprung it is no longer dangerous and will go right up to it and eat the bait. So it is with all wild animals I have seen on the plains. The horse and the dog of civilization may be mighty intelligent and smart, but those animals that are compelled to live by their wits are not very far behind if at all. TALE OF A FICKLE SAILOR. Used as an Example to Illustrate the Instability of a Politician. Mayor Weaver, of the awakened city of Philadelphia, was talking to a reporter about a very sutile and wily politician, relates the Buffalo Enquirer. "It is difficult," said the mayor, "to get this man to do anything he doesn't want to do. Cornered, he advances argument after argument against the course you desire him to pursue. He begins with weak arguments. You think you've got him. But just as victory appears assured, he puts forth a final argument that is insuperable, a final argument that floors you thoroughly. "The fellow is like a fickle sailor of the old romance. This sailor was strong, handsome and gay. The girls liked him, and he, I fear, liked the girls. The following conversation, one moonlight night, in the tropics, passed between him and a young woman: "Then, Jack, when shall we be married?" "But I promised my wife, sweetheart, that I would never marry a second time. "The young girl, beautiful in the flattering moonlight, murmured: "Would you cast me off for the sake of a promise to a dead woman?" "But she isn't dead yet," said the fickle sailor." THE SURVIVAL OF ANIMALS How the Various Species Manage to Escape Extermination by Natural Enemies. How is the balance of life on the globe maintained? Why have not species exterminated species? Why have not the birds exterminated the insects, and the hawks and owls exterminated the birds? Because the insects are so much more prolific than the hawks and owls. The hawks and owls are also more restricted as to food. The more adaptive an animal is the greater are the chances of surviving, writes John Burroughs, in Outing. If wolves and foxes could browse like deer and sheep and rabbits, they would be as numerous as these latter species. The potato bug has unduly increased in the east because its food is abundant and its enemies have not appeared. The forest worms threatened to destroy the maple woods of some sections till its enemy, the ichneumon fly, appeared. Rabbitts have increased unduly in Australia because their natural enemies have not kept pace. Secret of Violin Varnish It has long been suspected that the master makers of violins in Italy in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries knew of some remarkable gum which they employed in making the varish for their instruments. Mr. George Fry, of the Chemical society, London, who has carefully investigated the subject, concludes, after showing that the varnish exercises a decided influence over the tone of a violin, that Stradivarius and other famous makers probably used only linseed oil and resin rather than some mystical gum. The resin was oxidized with nitric acid. It is doubted whether the popular idea that age is advantageous rather than detrimental to a violin is well founded. Youth's Companion. Couldn't Identify Himself. The body of an unknown man was found in Carthage, Mo., recently. It was hastily identified as that of a certain Carthaginian. He was a man of grim humor.

The style of decoration was of a remarkably striking character. Five hundred dollars was the price of each shoe.

The following advertisement is from the London Morning Post: Wanted—Immediately for Brighton, a superior old-fashioned woman as cook; age between 30 and 45; wages £28 to begin with, washing money, but no beer; Protestant; also for the same situation a strong between maid; age about 18; wages £12 and rise, washing money. Free Lunch in Church. After having long been monopolized by the corner saloon, the "free lunch" has been adopted by a church in Cripple Creek, Col. The pastor of the First Christian church places among his Sunday noctes the following: "Lunch will be served immediately after church, in the Endeavor rooms. Free to all who attend services." Talented Princess It is said that Princess Charles of Denmark can bind a book, steer a boat, pull an oar, knit a stocking, take a photograph, play chess and speak five languages. We would be obliged to the princess if she would kindly find some word to rhyme with silver.—Chicago Record-Herald. Qualified. Chief—So you want a place on the police force. What are your recommendations? Applicant—I've been henpecked for 20 years, and can listen to troubles by the yard, without ever turning a hair.-Detroit Free Press. Experience to Come. The man who invented negligee shirts with cuffs attached never lived in a warm climate. But he will, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Yes, and when he gets there he will be received by the man who invented the bell top trousers. Cause of the Delay. Friend—Haven't you named the baby yet? Proud mother—No; we must be very careful to give him a nice one, because there will be so many named after him when he is president.—N. Y. Sun. Plenty There. Noting the fact that the sultan has ordered a pack of British man-tracking dogs, with which to chase animals in Turkey, the London Globe predicts that the poor animals will be worked to death in a week. If She Had Known. No doubt if Pharaoh's daughter could have foreseen that Alma Tadema was going to get 14,000 pounds for his picture of "The Finding of Moses" she would have primped up a little more for the occasion.—Kansas City Star. Mutual. Servant (on the stage)—Madam, the marquis is without and desires an audience. Star Actress (surveying a nearly empty house)—So do I.—Chicago Journal. Poor Treat. A Hamburg school teacher treated her pupils to a dinner in a restaurant the other day, and then found she had forgotten her purse. So she and they were locked up in the nearest prison. In Munich. A six-year-old girl, the daughter of a stage manager, failed to obtain admission to a Munich girls' school, because her father's profession is considered "immoral." Drink of Savages A ceremonial drink called assine of the American Aborigines was prepared by the women in stone vessels, and boiled by means of heated stones. His Last Hope.

A statistician affirms that the majority of people who attain old age have kept late hours. Land in Italy. In Italy the value of much of the land is reckoned at nearly 34 times the annual rental. No Trouble. It is dead easy to keep up a $10 appearance on an $18 salary.—Chicago Daily News. Well-Paid Speaker The speaker of the British house of commons fares well. While the members of parliament serve without pay, the speaker receives a salary of $20,000 a year and substantial perquisites. His fees amount annually to $15,000. He receives $5,000 equipment money and 2,000 ounces of plate. According to ancient custom, he is allowed two hogheads of claret wine and $500 for stationery every year. This is not all. He is provided with a handsome residence near the house of commons. He Laid Bricks. It was nature lesson in a West side public school in New York, and the subject was birds and their ways. The teacher asked the pupils to name such fowls as they knew that lay eggs. Chickens, ducks, turkeys and others were quickly named. Then a little girl, who for several minutes had been eagerly waving her hand, was called on. She proudly announced: "My father, he lays bricks."—Kansas City Star. When Reptiles Die A. Viennese naturalist declares that nearly all reptiles that die from natural causes close their lives between nightfall and morning, and fewer still in daylight. Most reptiles seem aware of their approaching death, seeking out particular places and there awaiting the end, while those whose lives are spent underground come to the surface before death. Life. -Life is a strange combination. Before a boy is old enough to go to school he awakens before daylight and wants to get the whole family up. Later it requires the whole family to get the boy up. Still later on he gets back to the early rising period, and again disturbs the peace of the family.-Springfield, O., Sun. Sold His Hat. A clergyman at Yarmouth, England, who was attending a "rummage sale" that was being held for a charity laid a new straw hat on the stall, and when he turned around to get it a minute or two later found that the energetic stall-keeper had sold it for four cents to an unknown purchaser. Shocked the Lion. A story with a moral comes from Uganda. A lion, thinking it about time to lunch, seized a white man and bit him. His teeth went through a bottle of whisky which them an was carrying in his pocket, and this gave him such a shock that he turned tall.—London Globe. German Housekeeping Schools A report on the German traveling schools for teaching scientific housekeeping, cooking and farm work to the women connected with the agricultural districts of Baden, Bavaria, Thuringen and Hesse declares them to have given great satisfaction. Gentlemen. It has been legally decided in England that a man who works for his living is not a gentleman. This is rather rough, but let us give the English court credit for one thing. It didn't decide that men who toll are gents.—Chicago Record-Herald. Students in Blind Aavlums Students in blind asylums now take part in foot races, football, and many other outdoor sports. In the races the competitors do not run towards a tape, as do those who can see, but towards a bell which is kept constant ringing. Bahama Plantz. The plants of the Bahama islands have been found by Dr. W. C. Coker to embrace 580 species, including 20 useful woods, six medicinal plans, ten indigenous fruits, 25 cultivated fruits and ten ornamental trees. Within His Rights in this accident? The Prisoner—No, your honor, the victim was run over in entire compliance with the ordinance.—Meggenderfer Blatter. Dangers of Riding Running a mile in 44 seconds is going some on a railroad. It is almost hair-raising to think of it, and yet it is less dangerous than riding a Mexican pony. -Memphis News-Sclimitar. A Last Hope. "Do you think our Jo's inventions will work?" asked Mrs. Corne. "I hope so," answered her husband; "I know mighty well that Jo won't."—Tit-Bits. Surely Stubborn. The stubbornness of the mule cannot be disputed when he will deliberately be burned to death rather than be disturbed at night—Detroit Free Press. Slight Mistake. A Maine newspaper inadvertently got the headline "News About Lobsters" over the "local mention" or personals about the prominent citizens. Famous Hound. Record, a famous foxhound, died the other day in Cumberland, England, at the age of ten. He had been in at the death of 500 foxes. J. A. O'Donnell, H. D.
