Booker T.Washington Contends "That Pres. Roosevelt With His Magic Wand Has Settled the Race Problem in the South. Then the Great Wizard of Tuskegee Asserts That His Best White Friends in That Sunny Clime Force the Negroes to Ride in Freight Cars. Vol. XI Booker T. W. Contends "That With His M Settled the the South. Then the Great kegee Asser White Frien ny Clime Fo to Ride in Fr Booker T. Washington, the great wizard of Tuskegee, who has been very quiet since he wrote his letter of explanation, apologizing to his best white friends in the South for permitting himself to dine with John Wannamaker and his family at the United States Hotel, Saratoga, New York, rolled into town last Saturday in company with his old chum, Col. T. Thomas Fortune, who has spent the last six weeks at Tuskegee. The new Moses of the Afro-Amarican race, who is content to ride in "Jim Crow" cars in the South, and Col. Tom were driven to the Palmer House where they occupied an elegant suite of rooms. On that same evening, prior to addressing the National Baptist Convention, he consented to unobscen himself to the press, respecting President Roosevelt's Southern tour. He declared that "President Roosevelt's trip to the South is as oil upon the waters to the vexed race question; and has tended not only to beat down sectional lines but racial hatred as well. His visit has done more to lay the ghost of racialism than any amount of pamphlettering or so called educational campaigns. His work will relieve the acuteness of the race issue in the South. The South is the region of sentiment and by rousing a new hitherto unknown sentimentality in all inhabitants of that section, I do not hesitate to say that he has conferred upon the entire country one of the greatest boons of his great administration," which is all balderath. Booker T. Washington, in his wonderful grand stand play would like to make his ten million vassals or subjecta believe that President Roosevelt by some kind of hocus-pocus or with his magic wand has forever settled the "Race Problem" in the South. It is almost useless to state that no one but an idiot would permit themselves to incline to such an idea. Is it possible that Prof. Washington is desirous of causing all the people in the civilized world to believe "that from henceforth there will be no more friction between the two races in the South, that harmony and brotherly love will linger with the whites and the blacks to the end of time, and that that happy result was accomplished by the president's visit to that section of the country? If this is the impression that the distinguished educator of Alabama wishes to scatter broadcast over the country, then it may not seem impertinent on our part to meekly ask this one simple question, what did the president say or do in the way of blotting out or relieving the acuteness of the race issue for all time to come in the South? Did he at any time or place intimate to the ruling classes in the South "that no issue nor question is ever settled until it is settled right, that there is only one way to forever settle the race problem, and that is to abolish the "Jim Crow" car and the separate school laws throughout the country; to stop disfranchising the Negro simply on account of the color of his skin, to restore the civil and the political rights to those who have already been deprived of them, to refrain from treating all Negroes as outlaws, criminals or aliens in a strange land, to measure out equal and exact justice to all men whenever they violate the laws, and permit every individual to have an equal chance in the race or struggle for existence? Did the president impart such sentiments as these to his white friends throughout the South? No, he did not; but he did say that "backward races must not be permitted to participate in the affairs of this government, that only college-bred men must rule it." And while addressing the students at the famous Tuskegee Institute he exclaimed that "moral and industrial education is what is most needed for the Negro, that they must not pitch their aspirations too high, that the race must learn to wait and abide its time to prove itself worthy by showing its possession of perseverance, of thrift, of self control, that the professional and mercantile avenues are already closed to the Negro and he must be content to remain on the farm." Which means that he must occupy a secondary position in all things. John Temple Graves, Benj. R. Tillman, Thomas Nelson Page, Thomas Dixon, Jr., Governors Vardaman, Jeff Davis and other emblems of progress and humanity are in hearty accord with the views which President Roosevelt expressed in relation to the true status of the Negro. Even what the president had to say on lynching, while in Little Rock, Ark., was not what it should have been. He seemed to lay much stress on the Negro criminal as being the greatest enemy to his race, and one would infer by his remarks that crime varies according to the complexion or nationality of the criminal. But to save our life we cannot see the distinction. A criminal is a criminal, no matter whether he is black or white, and one criminal is not one whit better than another. The president seemed to ignore the fact that it is the duty of those charged with the enforcement of the laws to hunt down criminals and see that they are duly punished for their crimes, and that it is not incumbent upon the Negro race more than any other race to butt in in this respect where they are not wanted, and where it is more than likely that they will be mobbed, lynched and burned at the stake for offering the slightest assistance. It is safe to say that President Roosevelt would not single out any other class of citizens or race of people in this country and address them like he did the Colored people while on his Southern tour. And as long as he is in favor of such separation and class distinction it is utter- [Name] HON. FRANK WENTER. The honorable and straightforward familiarity with the affairs of the Sanitary District fits him in every way to become the next President of the Drainage Canal Board. The way to judge a candidate merits is by what the press and public have to say about his actions at the time he performs them, and not by what is said during the last days of a campaign when the truth is distorted to meet the needs of political managers. It should be born in mind that the greatest opportunity has been presented to the opposition to Mr. Wenter, to delve into his record and it should be a source of pride to the people of this community that now as the campaign closes, the first word has yet to be uttered against the honesty and ability of Frank Wenter. He has discharged the duties of his office in a business man and with his past familiarity with the affairs of the Sanitary District fits him in every way to become the next President of the Drainage Canal Board. $17,000,000 of new construction work besides the completion of a great amount of work now begun and not finished. It should be apparent to everyone that it would be a height of folly to put in the office of President of the Drainage Board at this time, a young and inexperienced man no matter how good his intention may be. Considering the vast and intricate nature of the affairs of the Sanitary District, it would be years before any one could acquire that knowledge of the affairs of the district, as to make him a valuable member of that board. When the main channel was constructed Mr. Wenter acted as President. The City Authorities in conjunction with other civic bodies in He is a business man and possesses the ability of grasping the possibilities of any proposition presented to him. The office of President of the Sanitary District should be a business office and there are many vital reasons why it would be a rash and costly experiment to elect to that office a young man 25 yea.s old, and of no business experience and absolutely no experience in the affairs of the Sanitary District. Bear in mind the fact that Mr. Wenter has served you on the Sanitary Board in the past in the most commendable manner, and further, that the next board will undertake over ly impossible for him to permanently settle the "Race Problem" in America with his magic wand or slight of hand performances. In his talk before the National Baptist Convention which gave three cheers for "Teddy" Rooseevit, Booker T. Washington used his same stock of old stories and illustrations. He imparted nothing new to his hearers, and like President Rooseevit, he declared that "The Negro must first prove himself worthy to enjoy the fruits of American citizenship. In other words, that the burden is on the Negro to settle the "Race Problem," and not on the white man. Then he wandered from this proposition in his final windup and declared that "The whites have drawn the color line and established a "Race Problem in our native land because they do not allow Negroes to ride in passenger trains and force them to ride in freight cars. Thus showing that the great wizard of Tuskegee is illogical, inconsistent and that by nature he is not fitted to become the infallible leader of ten million people. Mr. Benj. F. Franklin of Little Rock, Ark., is visiting the city, is the guest of Mr. Albert Simms, 4921 Dearborn st. $17,000,000 of new construction work besides the completion of a great amount of work now begun and unfinished. It should be apparent to everyone that it would be a height of folly to put in the office of President of the Drainage Board at this time, a young and inexperienced man, no matter how good his intentions may be. Considering the vast and intricate nature of the affairs of the Sanitary District, it would be years before anyone could acquire that knowledge of the affairs of the district, as to make him a valuable member of that board. When the main channel was constructed Mr. Wenter acted as President. The City Authorities in conjunction with other civic bodies invited a committee of engineers of international fame to come to Chicago and estimate the cost of the construction of the main channel. Under Mr. Wenters' administration as President, the work was completed at a cost that was $3,000,000 under the lowest estimate of the commission of engineers referred to. There is no one so thoroughly competent and capable to take charge of the affairs of the Sanitary District than Frank Wenter. Do not forget to vote for him as President and be sure also to vote for him as trus'ee. His name appears twice upon the ballot. Thursday evening a comp. mentary dinner was tendered to Major Edgar B. Tolman candidate to succeed the late Henry M. Shepard as Judge of the Super. or Court by his friends and associate members of the bar at the Chicago Beach hotel. Francis W. Walker Horace K. Tenney, John P. McGoorty, George A. Mason, Rodger W. Goodspeed and Col. Henry L. Turner were among the speakers. The tenth wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. H. R. Scurlock was celebrated at their residence 6633 St. Lawrence Ave., Tuesday evening Oct. 31st, Prof. and Mrs. Wm. Emanuel assisted in the reception of the many friends who called to congratulate the happy pair and their family. Many useful presents were received. The Tri-Angle and Inner Circle Clubs were entertained by Mr. Louis B. Anderson at his residence Mon. evening, Oct. 30th. The occasion was Mr. Anderson's invitation as a member and co-worker into these clubs whose main object is Charity. The next Baptist National Convention will be held in Los Angeles, Cal. in September 1906. The Week's News Of The Metropolis The First Afro-American Art Exhibit A Success. The Professional and Theatrical Activity in New York. Williams and Walker Vaudeville Company a Hit. The Promoter's Annual Society Event. An exceptionally creditable showing was made by our several successful artists and designers at the first public art exhibit of Colored American artists at the Mount Olivet Guild rooms, Monday, Oct. 30th. The exhibit was preceded by an excellent program rendered by a number of the artists whose clever works were on display. Pominent among them were: Madam S. Knight, soprano solo; mandolin solo by Mrs. M. A. Curtiss; "The Dream of Phidias," reading by Mr. Charles Burroughs; songs by Miss Effle Stannard. Our distinguished and broad minded young editor, Mr. Rocceo Simmons, was to deliver an address on "Art," but thro' pressing business appointments was unable to be present. But he was very ably substituted in the person of Miss Eliza Hawkins, an able and educated artist, who spoke very intelligently and in instructive detail of the various branches of the artists' general work and profession. Many of our younger artists were elated at having the exceptional pleasure of hearing Miss Hawkins. Her address was a fitting finale to the highly appreciated program. Immediately after the recital the large number of Gotham's society folk and art patrons busied themselves in reviewing the many portraits, sketches and other products of the race's creative brain. Among the exhibits deserving special mention were: "Ethiopa" and the "White City," "Fortune and the City" and the "Old Water-Mill," executed by the most promising young oil painter, Mr. J. Clinton DeVillis. Mr. DeVillis exhibited a beautiful soft mellow drawing in pencil of "Venice," also one of a Hemp-tead Mill" from a scene in Long Island, N. Y. Mr. S. O. Collins deserves especial mention and encouragement in the treatment of his several diversified scenes and landscapes in oil. Among these were: "Scene on the Potomac," "An Old Road in Maryland," "The Fall of Antiquity" and a fine representation of some "Hay-Stacks." Mr. Ernest Braxton's oil picture of a beautiful colored "Tamorine Girl" was admired and praised by many of the art loyers. His "Monks-Girl" was a good work also. It is gratifying indeed to know our artists are able to find models among our own race to draw and work from, and from the showing this exhibit has made, we will soon be able to organize a National Colored American Art and Literary Club, which has been the yearning of several of us artistically and literally inclined for several years. The exhibit that added needed variety and artistic as well as human interest to the show was the consignment of V1.3 work from the brain and pen of Mr. Herbert Everett Amos, of Harlem, New York City. Mr. Amos is one of our most promising and deserving young illustrators and elaborators. Among his works worthy of special note were: His large poster of original Colored American minstrel characters executed in colors and beautiful original costumes. This work was first contracted for by Ernest Hogan, formerly heralded to star in "The Birth of the Minstrel," but who has abruptly changed and is now touring in "a real coon show," so billed and titled "Rufus Rastus." Mr. Amos spent a greater part of the summer getting out some thirty sketches for Mr. Hogan's costume designers, which were all accepted by the stars. Mr. Amos' title page drawings in black and white, and his book cover of a rejected and dejected Thespian received favorable comment. Mr. Amos is a constant student of designing costumes and illustrating, and before many seasons the grateful as well as the ungrateful will be seeking his work and time at his own prices and preference. He is a thorough gentlemen as well as an artist, nad has received several orders for original letter-head drawings and magazine illustrations since the recent exhibition of his original and cleverly executed creations. Probably the finest exhibit of the lady artists was that of Miss Letitia E. Williams, whose work was displayed in wonderful and interesting Dervison Miss Williams' elaborate designs for a large rug were great, as was also the work on a memorial window and her flowers painted on silk cloths. Then she showed an "Oriental Fabric" design for a book cover which won a prize. Miss Williams also showed some fine sketches in black and white, water color scenes and highways. Miss Williams' work is all tha of a real artist, and she shows a keen knowledge for proper grouping of her ideals and ideas, of true color scheme, classification and love of originality. Some say Miss Williams will be nationally famous. Mr. W. O. Thompson's character study of a group in "The Second-Hand Clothing Store" is deserving of special notice. Mr. Thompson was a worthy critic of the exhibit, and submitted several of his best pen-and-ink sketches, which were admired by the many present. Mr. Thompson is especially gifted in portraying scenes of lower animal life and studies the anatomy and circulation of horses, cattle, etc., in practical and actual contact. Mr. Thompson's work in general shows with constant dev THE BROAD AX.

The National Baptist Convention, concluded its labors Monday morning, and a reception was tendered its delegates at Olivet Baptist church, on the same evening. The leaders of the convention were very short sighted in some important things in connection with it, and have gone on record as being totally indifferent as to the preconceived and bigoted opinions or racial ideas that some white men entertain, respecting the status of the Negro, whom they invited to address the convention. For example, Rev. Johnston Myers was selected to deliver the welcome address on behalf of the white Baptist churches of this city. It will be remembered, that when Rev. Myers came to this city in 1693 to proclaim the word of his God he stood up in his pulpit the first Sunday he occupied it, in Emanuel Baptist church and exclaimed to the world that, "He did not want any Negro Baptist to join nor to attend services in his church that God never intended for the white and black Baptist to associate together in any way, and that they will no mingle together in Heaevn." Yet Rev. Myers entertaining such hatred and expressing such sentiments was selected, to welcome the delegates on behalf of the white Baptist churches. No doubt when he concluded speaking and left the church he was more impressed with this one idea. "The more a white man preacher or layman vilifies and slanders the Negro, the more highly he is appreciated by him." At the close of the convention, its leaders, made themselves the laughing stock of the civilized world, they appointed a committee consisting of Rev. E. C. Morris, Booker T. Washington, Rev. E. W. D. Isaac, R. H. Boyd, and L. G. Jordan, to visit President Roosevelt and request him and congress to join with the 2,000,000 Negro Baptist of the United States in protesting against the barbarism practiced by the Belgium Government on the Negroes in Congo Free State, Africa. Such proceedings was the height of folly or the limit. As far as we have been able to assertain; the leaders of the convention and the delegates in general failed to go on public record against the numerous wrongs and injustice which the Negro is subjected to in this country, and no appeal was issued by them to the President of the United States urging him to assist them to lighten the burdens of the Negro in race prejudiced America; and yet they want him to rush over to Afrika and compel the Belgium government to deal more justly with the native black man. Whenever the Negro Baptists and the President of the United States, abolishes the "Jim Crow" car law, restores the ballot to the Negro, and prevent the white Christians from burning him at the stake, for their amusement, then it will be time enough to move on to Africa. FREDERICK DOUGLASS CENTRE. No. 3032 Wabash Avenue. The Centre enjoyed a hurried but pleasant call from Mr. Booker T. Washington last Sunday.

He was educated in the public schools of this City and at the Chicago University, from which he graduated in 1880. He studied law at the Union College of Law, graduating in 1882, and later became a member of the firm of Doolittle & McKey, the senior member being a former United States Senator from Wisconsin. In 1887 he enlisted in the First Regiment of Infantry, was promoted to the rank of major in 1893, and at the breaking out of hostilities in the Spanish-American War, went with his regiment to Cuba. The part played by the First Regiment-on Cuban soil is familiar to all Chicagoans and especially to the Colored regiment which landed at Santiago, the day their white brothers in arms left for home. At the close of the War Major Tolman returned to Chicago and resumed the practice of the law. He became the head of the legal department of the Board of and with his training and experience in this respect, thoroughly equips him to become a Trustee of the Drainage Canal Board.

Major Tolman is peculiarly fitted for a judicial position. He is a man of great legal attainments, is broad gauged, and one of the most even temprired gentlemen in public life. He has the qualifications of the ideal judge. He has much about him that especially commends him to colored voters. For years his home was looked after by an old colored couple, and when sickness and infirmity compelled them to leave his employ, Major Tolman provided them with assistance and sent them back to their old home in Baltimore. When the City Council, during the recent Teamsters' strike, directed him to render an opinion as to the legality of importing colored men into Chicago to take the place of striking workmen, he did not allow himself to be carried away by the passion and prejudice of the hour, and he did not seize the opportunity to play to the mob in the streets, as others have done. His reply to the Council was memorable "In the State of Illinois," he said, "there is no possible legal distinction to be drawn between colored and white persons; we have here one law for all colors." Should Major Tolman be elected to the bench, what better guaranty of fair play could we ask for than this? --- THE DEMOCRATIC JUDICIAL AND SANITARY DISTRICT .TICKET OF COOK COUNTY.

CAREY PASTOR OF BETHEL CHURCH FAVORS THE ELECTION .OF .WILLIAM.. A. DCYLE TO SUCCEED MAYOR ED. WARD F. DUNNE AS JUDGE OF THE CIRCUIT COURT. Rev. A. J. Carey pastor of Bethel church 30th and Dearborn streets who has been working very hard the past year, to extract it from its financial difficulties and by his business like methods, has succeeded in reducing its indebtedness to less than $8,000, has openly declared himself in favor of the election of William A. Doyle to succeed Mayor Edward F. Dunne as Judge of the Circuit Court. Rev. Carey is firmly of the opinion that "owing to the fine gentlemanly qualities which Mr. Doyle possesses, and his well trained legal ability and his absolute freedom from race prejudice, that no Colored man in Cook County, can afford to vote against him and it is his solemn duty to work for his election as he represents the highest type of men that all good citizens regards of their color or nationality should assist to elevate to the bench so that they can adjudicate litigation fair and inpartially. The Rev. gentleman is bitterly opposed to the re-election of Judge Joseph E. Gary who was very arbitrary when he found he would have to sit in judgement in a law suit which involved Quinn Chapel, and he entered up judgement against it for $16,000, without notifying its Attorneys or those interested in the suit and Judge Gary plainly let it be known that he had no use nor time to waste in settling suits for Negro churches, and as he was so haughty and overbearing in his conduct and as he is more than old enough to get off the bench and retire in favor of a younger and more active Judge. Rev. Carey will record his vote against him. ST. THOMAS'S. On last Sunday eve, at 8 o'clock. His Grace Bishop C. P.

Daniel G. Ramsay, candidate for Judge of the Superior Court and former Assistant State's Attorney of Cook County, was born Oct. 29, 1864, near Martinsville, Ill., of Scotch-Irish parentage. He commenced railroading when a boy and worked in various branches of the service, including that of telegraph operator and clerk, for more than seven years. He has been a continuous member of the Order of Railroad Telegraphers for the last 18 years, and at all times he has been DANIEL G. RAMSAY. Ex-Assistant State's Attorney of Cook County and candidate for Judge of the Superior Court. the laboringman's friend, and he is their candidate for Judge of the Superior Court. Mr. Ramsay received his legal training at the Law School of McKendree College, and graduated with honor. and was admitted to the bar in 1888, and has been in active practice of the law from that time to the present. In the fall of 1890 he was elected representative to the Thirty-seventh General Assembly of the Legislature, and was one of the famous "Palmer 101 stalwarts." Later on Mr. Ramsay became Assistant State's Attorney of Cook County and as such he was an honest and conscientious servant of the people and made a splendid record for himself while serving in that capacity. He has always been outspoken in his friendship for the Afro-American race. Less than two years ago he manfully defended Hattie Payne and Max Wiley in the Criminal Court without receiving one dollar for his services, and within the past year at his own expense, he has several times appeared before the Board of Pardons, appealing for their release. And being a gentleman of ability, a self-made man in every respect, liberal and fair minded, thousands of Edward J. Kelly, Democratic candidate for Drainage Trustee, three-year term, was born in the city of Chicago May 1, 1875. He received his education in its public schools. For years Mr. Kelly has been a hard worker in the ranks of his party in the 5th ward, and being exceedingly genial he is well liked by the leaders of the party and makes fast friends of all those whom he comes in contact. Mr. Kelly is an honorable member of the Western Society of Engineers. He has had twelve years' experience in charge of Drainage Canal work as Civil Engineer, and his labors in this respect has been entirely satisfactory, and this alone should entitle him to become a member of the Drainage Canal Board.

An official report of the department of commerce and labor declares that for years to come there will be more money in sheep than in any other agricultural product and that the American farmer, above all others, is in a position to profit by this condition. ‘The reason why sheep raising is to be ‘80 profitable is to be found in the fact that the flocks of the world are declining at an alarming rate. In a little more than 30 years, or since 1873. this decline shows a loss of no fewer than 93,000.00 head, an average of more than 3,000,000 a year. At the present time the Ameri- can farmer has the bulk of the sheep trade with Great Britain, but he is not a factor in the mutton market. and last year he furnished only three-tenths of ‘one per cent. of the wool imports of Great Britain. ‘The British trade in sheep imports last year was 382.240. and of thesethe United States supplied 294.804. But while the British imported 3.530.659 hundred- weights of mutton in 1904, the American farmer supplied only 7,420 hundred- weights of this vast amount. Great Britain imported 314 468 016 pounds of wool last year, but bought only 1.087,- 650 pounds from the American farmer. It may thus be seen what an immense field of trade, even with one nation alone, is open to American enterprise in a single agricultural product. Argen- tina, Australia and New Zealand largely supplied the British trade in mutton and wool last year. NEW THING’IN GOLF BALLS. Remade by Catfish with a Jonah Fin- ish They Are Vastly Im- proved. Fishermen in the lower waters of the Blue and along the Missouri in the vi- cinity of the Blue’s mouth, complain of an- ailment of the catfish which seems to be general. It was first sus- pected, says the Kansas City Journal, that yellow fever is mixing things with the cat water tribe, but on inves- tigation it is found that the trouble is all due to overdoses of golf balls. On tracing the matter up the supply of balls is found to come from the Elm Ridge links, where the players have phenomenal luck in losing balls in the creek. At first the fishermen were indignant and their wrath was developed by an enterprising snitch, who urged an in- function against the Elm Ridge club im general and the bum players in par- ticular. This promised a good lawsuit, when, unfortunately, a fsherman dis- covered that a catfish full of golf balis is worth more than s straight cat ‘This changed materially the financial flavor of the case. Then it was dis covered that a golf ball remade by & catfish, thus imparting a Jonah finish, ‘as well as flavor, adds to the valué of the ball by improving its going quall- ties. This starts 2 new ballon the fwarket and upsets the snitch im nis calculations. = eabitshes wtp. Phone Oakland 1590-1551 John J.

Woman Soldier. Women, disguised as men, often served as soldiers. The following inscription is on a tombstone in the English town of Brighton: "In memory of Phoebe Hassel; born 1713, died 1821, aged 108 years. She served for many years as a private soldier in many parts of Europe, and at the battle of Fontenoy, fighting bravely, she received a bayonet wound in the left arm." Phonogaurd Teaches Parrot A Philadelphia woman charges a phonograph with the word of praise she wants the parrot to learn, and then shuts him in a room alone with the machine. The bird listens to the oft-repeated sound and tries to outdo the brazen thargated trumpet, so that with no expenditure of human strength, and in shorter time than personal attention would consume, he masters one lesson and then is put upon another.

The value of the Pennsylvania ferries between Jersey City, New York, Brooklyn and the Bronx is $5,698,000. Early Pillar-Boxes. The first english town to have pillar boxes for the posting of letters was Chetenham. It is recorded that a clergyman named Charlott and a Capt. Carter were touring in Brussels, and noticed a pillar box in course of erection there. When they got back to Chetenham, their home, they brought the matter before the local postal authorities, with the result that soon after a dozen of such boxes were erected in the Gloucestershire watering place. The system was quickly extended throughout the United Kingdom. C. E. Societies in Germany. Germany leads all the continental countries in Europe in the number of Christian Endeavor societies and in the work accomplished. The German union is pressing on to the 300 mark in the number of its societies, and has enlisted thousands. Germany has been divided into six Christian Endeavor districts, in each of which a convention is held each year while the annual conventions are said to be worthy of recognition among the notable endeavor gatherings of the year. Literary Treasure Perhaps the most important literary find in years was made in February last, when a copy of "Titus Andronicus," bearing the date 1594. was discovered in a Swedish cottage. This was a very important discovery, not only because of the rarity of the edition, but because it proves conclusively the Shakespearean authorship and brings to an end the controversy which has long been carried on between various critics as to the genuineness of that tragedy. Inferior Leather. Cheap leather, it is pointed out, is now weighted with glucose and barium, being thus made to pass the weight test of first quality material. But it absorbs moisture freely, and a shoe made from it is never really dry. Even in the driest weather, the perspiration of the feet makes such footwear dangerous, and so rotts the inner sole. On a Gravestone In the churchyard of Woolwich, Kent, England, is the epitaph: "Sacred to the memory of Maj. James Brush, royal artillery, who was killed by the accidental discharge of a pistol by his orderly, 14th April, 1831. Well done, good and faithful servant." She Broke the Rule. Justin McCarthy was showing a young American married woman through the library of the house of commons and commented on the fact that it was against the rules for a woman to sit down in the place. She immediately drew a chair up to a table and sat down. Poorly Armed. At the review of 40,000 Scottish volunteers at Edinburgh by King Edward the other day, the artillery went by with muzzle loading guns dating from the year 1860. The men were all right, but their weapons were about as useful for modern warfare as catapults would be. Sisters Dressed Alike It is an easy matter to pick out sisters in a group of children on the continent, for girls of the same family are dressed just alike. In the Breton provinces, where the gala dress is quaint, the effect is fantastic on fete days. Progress in Japan. Japanese railway companies have introduced newspaper-reading carriages in some of their passenger trains. Newspapers are kept at the service of travelers, so that they may read as they ride. Cats Overrun Town. Wadworth, Nev.. once a lively railroad town of 4,000 population, but now a collection of deserted shanties, is overrun by thousands of wild cats, the descendants of two or three hundred abandoned house cats. New Argentine Coin. The Argentine minister of finance has introduced a bill to make the franc the unit of currency instead of the paper plaster. The new coin would be called an Argentine.

Then He Knows. Man never realizes how unimportant he is until his young son tells him to mind his own business. Force in Badium. A recent calculation of the caloric force in radium reaches the astonishing conclusion that one ounce of that wonderful substance would contain power enough, if it could be so utilized, to lift 10,000 tons a mile above the surface of the earth. Or, by the same calculation, 22 ounces of radium, a pound and six ounces avoidduplos, would contain energy enough to tow a ship of 12,000 tons 6,000 miles, at the speed of 17 miles an hour. Girls Go Hatless The school girls of San Francisco have taken kindly to the barehead habit. The school and health authorities encourage it. Dr. Ragen, health officer, says: "By going without hats the girls are less liable to catarral troubles, sore throat, coryza and the other numerous allments the child is exposed to. I am strongly in favor of sending the girls to school without hats. Let the hair be strengthened by the air and sunlight." Babies Fed to Snake The United States grand jury at Albuquerque, N. M., is investigating reports that the Indians of the Pueblo of Zae, the most isolated of the Pueblo tribes of New Mexico, feed a certain number of new-born babies each year to a mammoth snake which is worshiped by the tribe. The interior department will probably be asked to interfere. Battleships for Japan. Japan is building five immense battle-ships, having a total displacement of more than 88,000 tons. Two, which have just been contracted for in England, will weigh 19,000 tons each, being the heaviest and largest fighting ships yet planned. Japan is also having built two great armored cruisers, each of 13,500 tons' displacement. Water Cactus. The bisnaga plant, a cactus, has saved hundreds of wanderers in American deserts from dying of thirst. The echino cactus emory forms a natural reservoir, always full of cool, sweet water, which it draws from the earth, and which is kept cool by evaporation. Boats Travel on Land. "Alligator boats." used by Canadian lumbermen, can travel both on land and water. When the boat comes to a place where the river has entirely dried up, or to a sand bank, an anchor and cable are taken out some way ahead, the engines are set working, and the boat is slowly hauled up to the anchor. Game in Kansas. Prairie chickens are so thick in western Kansas this year that passing trains kill them daily. One engineer out of Elis says he has killed more than 20 with his engine already. The birds seem to revel in daring flights across the tracks ahead of moving trains. Pills of Soap. In a Jaw case in London it came out that "Dr. Astbury's Pure Herbal Pills; worth their weight in gold. Price 2s. 9d. per box. Dose, three or four at bedtime," were made simply of soft soap and calomel. Nobody had ever heard of a Dr. Astbury. Modest Duchess. The shah of Persia is said to have once told the duchess of Westminster that the fame of her beauty had reached Teheran. "Ah," said she to some one who stood by. "he takes me for Westminster Abbey." Helped by the War Korea was not injured, but greatly benefited by the Russo-Japanese war. Both the armies employed labor and bought provisions, thus bringing in millions of dollars of unexpected and unusual money.. Of Some Use. Those who think that kings are more expensive figureheads of no real value to the world will be surprised to learn that King Edward is reviving the game of croquet. -Kansas City Journal. Not for Him. Dr. Fissick—Well. yes; I suppose you should take some mild tonic— Music in the Air. A dozen members of an Irish brass band in Dublin recently gave a performance on the top of a chimney 140 feet high. The Kaiser's Generosity. Each of 40,000 soldiers who took part in the recent maneuvers near Berlin has received 12 cents from the emperor's private purse. Growth of London London was increased during the year 1904 by 374 new streets, with a total length of over 74 miles, and 23,269 new houses were built. Behind the Times Jerez, Spain, the center of the Sherry wine trade, has no street cars, although it is a city of 70,000 inhabitants. Light as Air. A recent weighing of dandelion down has shown that 1,000,000 of the dainty parachutes are needed to make a pound. Naturally. Success takes all the credit to itself; failure blames others. Words with the Bark. Talk is cheap unless it is a case where money is doing the talking. O'Donnell & Coghlin Attorneys at Law Phone 264 Main Metropolitan Block N. W. Cor. LaSalle & Randolph Sts.

CHICAGO RESIDENCE 337 Burling Street New Building Material The latest building material is "kremite," which is made at a factory near St. Petersburg, and consists of powdered clay, sand and fluorspar melted together at a high temperature. The molten mass may be used like iron for molding castings for architectural and artistic purposes, yielding hollow bricks for buildings and stoves, fancy marblelike bricks, tiles for floors and sidewalks, and even thin, corrugated plates for roofs. Woman Soldier. Women, disguised as men, often served as soldiers. The following inscription is on a tombstone in the English town of Brighton: "In memory of Phoebe Hassel; born 1713, died 1821, aged 108 years. She served for many years as a private soldier in many parts of Europe, and at the battle of Fontenoy, fighting bravely, she received a bayonet wound in the left arm." Phonogurh Teaches Parrot. A Philadelphia woman charges a phonograph with the word of praise she wants the parrot to learn, and then shuts him in a room alone with the machine. The bird listens to the oft-repeated sound and tries to outdo the brazen throated trumpet, so that with no expenditure of human strength, and in shorter time than personal attention would consume, he masters one lesson and then is put upon another. Salvation Army Work. The Salvation Army is at work in 45 countries and colonies, speaking 31 languages. has 7,210 corps, "circles" and societies; 13,493 officers and cadets; employs 2,566 persons. and has 45,333 local officers. It has 63 periodicals in 24 languages, with an issue of 1,208,000 There are 644 institutions for its social work and in 12 months the army supplied 4,573,393 beds and 7,213,506 meals. Back at Her. Nell—I told Miss Sharpe what you said about her literary club; that you wouldn't join because it was too full of stupid old maids. Belle—Did you? What did she say? "She said you were mistaken; that there was always room for one more." Catholic Standard and Times. New Korean Stamp. A new postage stamp has been issued in Tokio for use in the protectorate of Korea. It bears the chrysanthemum as the emblem of Japan, the plum blossom as symbolical of Korea, and two pigeons representing the postal service. Brittany Bridal Ornament Gonspicuous among the adornments of the bridal feast in Brittany is an artistic and elaborate butter structure, as fanciful and elegant as the most beautiful bridal cake, and into this structure the guests stick split sticks bearing coins of gold or silver. Pava to Be Good. People who have been dubiously asking themselves: "Does it pay to be good?" may well survey the spectacle of one reputation after another nailed to the barn door of public scorn and ask: "Does it pay to be anything else?"—N. V. Mail. A Conclusion. Willie—If the eel is anything like a dog he must be in a good humor all the time. Fana—Why do you think so? "Why, because he is always wagging himself like a dog's tall."—N. Y. Times Explained. "Say, paw. " "Well, son?" "What is frenzied finance?" "Frenzied finance, my son, is the way your mother goes after my pay envelope every Saturday night. Now run along and play."—Mil- waukee Sentinel. Private Carz. A few years ago only men of great fortune possessed private cars. Nowadays there are so many of these palaces on wheels that their value is estimated at $72,000,000. Safe Course. If a friend asks you for an opinion and you are uncertain as to your decision, get his and indorse it and he will leave you with a high regard for your good judgment. Highest Elevator The highest elevator in the world has been opened on the Burgenstock, a mountain near Lake Lucerne. It lifts tourists 500 feet to the top of a vertical rock. Not Humor. A man always thinks he has a sense of humor because he can make fun of the way his wife adds up a column of figures wrong.—N. Y. Press. Beminiscent Interest. Just what interest a bald-headed man can take in football it would be hard to determine.—Des Moines Register and Leader. Must Attend Church. At Gonoatoa, in the South seas, there is a fine exacted from all who do not attend church three times a week. Baby Clowns. In the traveling circuses of France the babies of the company are put to work as clowns. Money in Jersey The value of the Pennsylvania for- ries between Jersey City, New York, Brocklyn and the Bronx is $5,698,000. No Let-Up. There is no vacation in the school of Early Pillar-Boxes. The first English town to have pillar boxes for the posting of letters was Cheltenham. It is recorded that a clergyman named Charloth and a Capt. Carter were touring in Brussels, and noticed a pillar box in course of erection there. When they got back to Cheltenham, their home, they brought the matter before the local postal authorities, with the result that soon after a dozen of such boxes were erected in the Gloucestershire watering place. The system was quickly extended throughout the United Kingdom. C. E. Societies in Germany. Germany leads all the continental countries in Europe in the number of Christian Endeavor societies and in the work accomplished. The German union is pressing on to the 300 mark in the number of its societies, and has enlisted thousands. Germany has been divided into six Christian Endeavor districts, in each of which a convention is held each year while the annual conventions are said to be worthy of recognition among the notable endeavor gatherings of the year. Literary Treasure Perhaps the most important literary find in years was made in February last, when a copy of "Titus Andronicus," bearing the date 1594. It was discovered in a Swedish cottage. This was a very important discovery, not only because of the rarity of the edition, but because it proves conclusively the Shakespearean authorship and brings to an end the controversy which has long been carried on between various critics as to the genuineness of that tragedy. Inferior Leather. Cheap leather, it is pointed out, is now weighted with glucose and barium, being thus made to pass the weight test of first quality material. But it absorbs moisture freely, and a shoe made from it is never really dry. Even in the driest weather, the perspiration of the feet makes such footwear dangerous, and so rotts the inner sole. On a Gravestone. In the churchyard of Woolwich, Kent, England, is the epitaph: "Sacred to the memory of Maj. James Brush, royal artillery, who was killed by the accidental discharge of a pistol by his orderly, 14th April, 1831. Well done, good and faithful servant." She Broke the Rule Justin McCarthy was showing a young American married woman through the library of the house of commons and commented on the fact that it was against the rules for a woman to sit down in the place. She immediately drew a chair up to a table and sat down. Poorly Armed. At the review of 40,000 Scottish volunteers at Edinburgh by King Edward the other day, the artillery went by with muzzle loading guns dating from the year 1860. The men were all right, but their weapons were about as useful for modern warfare as catapults would be. Sisters Dressed Alike It is an easy matter to pick out sisters in a group of children on the continent, for girls of the same family are dressed just alike. In the Breton provinces, where the gala dress is quaint, the effect is fantastic on fete days. Progress in Japan. Japanese railway companies have introduced newspaper-reading carriages in some of their passenger trains. Newspapers are kept at the service of travelers, so that they may read as they ride. Cats Overrun Town. Wadworth, Nev.. once a livey railroad town of 4,000 population, but now a collection of deserted shanties, is overrun by thousands of wild cats, the descendants of two or three hundred abandoned house cats. New Argentine Coin. The Argentine minister of finance has introduced a bill to make the franc the unit of currency instead of the paper plaster. The new coin would be called an Argentino. Draws the Line There. This is the season when the poet takes to the woods, but he doesn't take an ax and a crosscut saw along with him.—Atlanta Constitution. Salmon in Bales The Japanese method of preserving the salmon which are caught in large numbers at Sakhalin is to salt them down and press them into bales. Motorcycle Police. M. Lepine, chief of the Paris police has organized a squadron of 70 police, mounted on motor bicycles, for the control of motor cars. Angelica Wins. Yes, Angelica, you win. Blanc mange has nothing to do with the dog. It is a dessert, not a disease.—Detroit Free Press. Steel Worth More Than Gold. The small steel screws used in watch-making are worth six times their weight in gold. None Defaulted. Kansas has 17 women who hold the position of president or cashier of banks. —Kansas City Journal. Then He Knows. Man never realizes how unimportant he is until his young son tells him to mind his own business. Force in Radium. A recent calculation of the calorie force in radium reaches the astonishing conclusion that one ounce of that wonderful substance would contain power enough, if it could be so utilized, to lift 10,000 tons a mile above the surface of the earth. Or, by the same calculation, 22 ounces of radium, a pound and six ounces avoiddupois, would contain energy enough to tow a ship of 12,000 tons 6,000 miles, at the speed of 17 miles an hour. Girls Go Hatless. The school girls of San Francisco have taken kindly to the barehead habit. The school and health authorities encourage it. Dr. Ragen, health officer, says: "By going without hats the girls are less liable to catarral troubles, sore throat, coryza and the other numerous alliments the child is exposed to. I am strongly in favor of sending the girls to school without hats. Let the hair be strengthened by the air and sunlight." Babies Fed to Snake. The United States grand jury at Albuquerque, N. M., is investigating reports that the Indians of the Pueblo of Zae, the most isolated of the Pueblo tribes of New Mexico, feed a certain number of new-born babies each year to a mammoth snake which is worshiped by the tribe. The interior department will probably be asked to interfere. Battleships for Japan. Japan is building five immense battleships, having a total displacement of more than 88,000 tons. Two, which have just been contracted for in England, will weigh 19,000 tons each, being the heaviest and largest fighting ships yet planned. Japan is also having built two great armored cruisers, each of 13,500 tons' displacement. Water Cactus The bisnaga plant, a cactus, has saved hundreds of wanderers in American deserts from dying of thirst. The echino cactus emory forms a natural reservoir, always full of cool, sweet water, which it draws from the earth, and which is kept cool by evaporation. Boats Travel on Land. "Alligator boats." used by Canadian lumbermen, can travel both on land and water. When the boat comes to a place where the river has entirely dried up, or to a sand bank, an anchor and cable are taken out some way ahead, the engines are set working, and the boat is slowly hauled up to the anchor. Game in Kansas. Prairie chickens are so thick in western Kansas this year that passing trains kill them daily. One engineer out of Elis says he has killed more than 20 with his engine already. The birds seem to revel in daring flights across the tracks ahead of moving trains. Pills of Soap. In a Taw case in London it came out that "Dr. Bursty's Pure Herbal Pills; worth their weight in gold. Price 2s. 9d. per box. Dose, three or four at bed-time," were made simply of soft soap and calomel. Nobody had ever heard of a Dr. Bursty. Modest Duchess. The shah of Persia is said to have once told the duchess of Westminster that the fame of her beauty had reached Teheran. "Ah," said she to some one who stood by. "he takes me for Westminster Abbey." Helped by the War Korea was not injured, but greatly benefited by the Russo-Japanese war. Both the armies employed labor and bought provisions, thus bringing in millions of dollars of unexpected and unusual money. Of Some Use. Those who think that kings are more expensive figureheads of no real value to the world will be surprised to learn that King Edward is reviving the game of croquet - Kansas City Journal. Not for Him. Dr. Fissick—Well yes; I suppose you should take some mild tonic Music in the Air. A dozen members of an Irish brass band in Dublin recently gave a performance on the top of a chimney 140 feet high. The Kaiser's Generosity. Each of 40,000 soldiers who took part in the recent maneuvers near Berlin has received 12 cents from the emperor's private purse. Growth of London London was increased during the year 1904 by 374 new streets, with a total length of over 74 miles, and 23,269 new houses were built. Behind the Times. Jerez. Spain, the center of the Sherry wine trade, has no street cars, although it is a city of 70,000 inhabitants. Light as Air. A recent weighing of dandelion down has shown that 1,000,000 of the dainty parachutes are needed to make a pound. Naturally. Success takes all the credit to fit self; failure blames others. Words with the Bark. Talk is cheap unless it is a case where money is doing the talking. J. A. O'Donnell, H. D. Coghlin, O'Donnell & Coghlin Attorneys at Law Phone 264 Main Metropolitan Block N. W.
