DENIS BENTLEY SHOWED THE STATE SENATOR, SAM ETT PRIEST PLAYED CHEA PENSE OF THE AFRO-AM Thursday evening, December 5th, a meeting, or conference, was held in Frank W. King's undertaking rooms, 3604 State street, which were crowded with many dead ones; the object of the meeting was to devise some kind of a plan to prevent Rev. Thomas Dixon's infamous play, the "Clansman," from showing in this city. Bishop C. T. Schaffer presided, and in doing so he very gravely let it be known that he was not seeking notoriety; that he did not want the deliberations of the conference or meeting to get in the newspapers, for he did not want it known that he would ever become connected with a lost cause; that those engineering the movement must, or should be guided with sound wisdom and extreme caution, and so on. Dr. Charles E. Bentley, who seemingly would be willing to give up his little white Jesus, and all the good things in this world, if he could only become a little bit whiter, was the first speaker to air his shallow views in relation to preventing the "Clansman" from returning to this city, for the sole object of scattering more race prejudice against the Afro-American over Chicago. During the meeting Dr. Bentley rose to speak three times on what he did not know about the subject which was then under discussion; each time he bobbed up to pour out his great wisdom (we don't think), he took special delight in condemning and insulting the writer because we had the courage and the manhood, almost single handed and alone, to wage a bitter fight against Ben Tillman, the latter part of November, 1906; he also related how he had attended a secret conference which was held at the Hull House, prior to the coming of the "Clansman" to Chicago in the summer of 1906; how Miss Jane Addams, Mrs. C. P. Woolley, who honestly believes that the best educated and the most polished Negro will always be inferior to the white man, and several other of the best white friends of the race who were present on that occasion, advised such faithless and would-be weak-kneed leaders like himself, not to even whisper the name of the "Clansman" nor its coming to this city, for if they did it would give it too much free advertising, and it would play to full houses; then he grew real red or white in the face and exclaimed that he permitted himself to be guided by the advice of his-best white friends; that he treated the play with silent contempt and that each night for seven long weeks it played to crowded houses and that the "Clansman" became so popular that standing room was at a premium. Several other moral cowards and trimmers also sprang to their feet and joined in condemning us for startling the long and memorable fight against Ben Tillman, and after those nonentities had wound up Major Franklin A. Denison, who never buts in among common Colored people, unless he can have some kind of honor conferred upon him, and Oscar D Priest, who has grown rich and mighty sleek, since he and the most of his kinfolks, have been able to feed at the public crib, took a hand at speech making, and in order to play the big dogs in the meat house, they assured the members of the conference that "Mayor Fred Busse really loved the Negroes and to show his undying love in this respect he was more than willing to knock the "Clansman" out with one blow of his first that his honor would receive with open arms a delegation of prominent ministers and other. leading citizens such as themselves, Nit! shed tears or stears with them and use all the power and authority vested in him, as the guardian of the peace for the purpose of suppressing the "Clansman," which is so injurious and hateful to the better class of Colored people." After it had also been announced by the honorable Oscar De Priest, that State Senator Sam Ettelson and attorneys Adler and Lederer, were engaged right at that very minute in looking up the law, with a view of instituting injunction proceedings against the "Clansman" and prevent it from playing in this city. So the following committee, with Major Denison as its chairman, was appointed to call on Mayor Busse at 2 o'clock on Friday afternoon: Major Franklin A. Denison, Bishop C. T. Schaffer, the Honorable Oscar De Priest, Revs. D. P. Roberts, A. J. Carey, E. J. Fisher, J. F. Thomas, Jordan Chavis, Doctor Charles E. Bentley, Hon Alex. Lane, Walter M. Farmer, S. A. McElwee, Major John C. Buckner, William R. Cowan and S. Laing Williams, and lovely little Bob. Taylor, who has served for a long time as Phone boy for the Board of Election Commissioners, was selected to phone Mayor Busse, that night yet, to look out and clear the way for the fifteen distinguished Colored citizens who would march in the city hall, and into the mayor's office promptly at 2 o'clock Friday noon. There is an old saying that there is "many a slip between the cup and the lip," and this proved true for once, for early on. Friday morning Major Denison and the Honorable Oscar De Priest rushed into the city hall and sneaked into the mayor's office like sheep-killing dogs, and informed Mayor Busse as to what had happened at the meeting, that a com- CHICAGO, DECEMBER 14, 1907. B. H. Ex-City Clerk of Chicago, who has retired from the political game on the West Side and moved into a fine new home on the North Side. mittee of fifteen Colored citizens would call on him that afternoon to protest against permitting the "Clansman" to show in Chicago, and it is claimed, but it may not be true, that while Mayor Busse was figuring out how to put up a cat-hop on the committee, his honor exclaimed, "To hell with the 'Niggers,' I do not want the black and yellow birds to enter my office." So he instructed the Honorable Oscar De Priest, so it is said, to inform the other members of the committee that his memory was very bad, and that at the time he had made the appointment with his good Colored friends, he had a pressing engagement over on the West Side which he could not break, and it is claimed that Mayor Busse ordered Major Denison to pay close attention to his work and lay away from the committee of fifteen, that he had no kick coming as long as he was getting his for misleading and misrepresenting the ignorant Colored people. Promptly at 2 o'clock all the members of the committee except Bishop Schaffer and Major Denison, who like Dr. Bentley, showed the white feather and ducked or side stepped the committee assembled in the County Commissioner's rooms in the New County Building, and shortly after doing so the Honorable Oscar De Priest informed the members of the committee that Mayor Busse had an important engagement over on the West Side that afternoon which would prevent him from coming face to face with the members of the committee. Then a sub-committee consisting of Walter M. Farmer, Major John C. Buckner, and S. A. McElwee, was appointed to call on Corporation Counsel Edward J. Brundage, who has always had so much love for the Negro near election times, when he has been a candidate for office; the three members of the committee sent their cards in, and Mr. Brundage sent word back to them that he "would see them in sixty seconds, so the gentlemen seated themselves in the big arm-chairs in the outer office and were happy in the thought that they would soon be able to do some strong kicking against permitting the "Clansman" from showing, but they were doomed to disappointment, for after they had sat around in the outer office for almost one hour, one of the boys rushed out of Mr. Brundage's private office with the cards of the three gentlemen in his hands, and he wanted to know if the "cards belonged to them, and did they want to see Mr. Brundage," they very warmly responded yes to both questions; then the polite office boy informed them that "Mr. Brundage was not in, that he was down in the mayor's office, consulting with His Honor in relation to a private cock fight which was to be pulled off that Friday night somewhere over on the West Side. So at last it dawned upon the minds of the members of the committee that the good Republican mayor of Chicago, his Republican Corporation Counsel and their two slaves or tools, the Honorable Oscar De Priest and Major Franklin A. Denison, had all filled the members of the committee full of barefed lies! In order to further successfully play cheap politics, and to throw more Republican dust into the eyes of the members of the committee the Honorable Oscar De Priest, State Senator Sam Ettleson, who no doubt, for a few season tickets admitting him to McVicker's theater, declined to urge the passage of a bill at Springfield, during the present session of the legislature, which would prevent such plays as the "Clansman" from showing anywhere in the state of Illinois, and Messrs. Adler, Lederer and Col. Edward H. Morris, attorney for the 'Gamblers' Trust," who at first wanted $250 to go into court and institute injunction proceedings against permitting the "Clansman" from filling its engagement in this city, and then he finally set in the case for nothing, for he thought he would win it and get some of the political glory out of it. So, on Saturday all the lawyers referred to filed into Judge Barnes' court rooms and implored him to issue a restraining order against permitting the "Clansman" from unfolding its tent for two weeks in Chicago. Col. Morris lead in the legal fight, and in a very sarcastic manner he admonished the opposing attorneys to go off somewhere and learn some law before they attempted to stand up in his presence in a crowded court room and tell him anything about the law governing such cases. Ex-Republican State Senator Thos. Condee, who is one of the lawyers for McVicker's Theater, put in a word or so at that point, and he accused Sam Ettelson of not acting in good faith in the case at bar, and to the utter disgust of all present, Senator Ettelson frankly admitted that he was simply playing politics, in order to hold onto the Negro vote in his senatorial district, or words to the same effect. Judge Barnes along in the shank of the evening, put a stop to all the arguments, by informing Col. Morris and his associates that "they had failed to draw their bill or petition, in the Rev. R. C. Ransom Delivered a Masterful Oration At Bethel Church In Favor of the Constitutional Rights of the Afro-American. Banquet and Reception Tendered Him at the Conclusion of the Speaking. Tuesday evening Rev. R. C. Ransom, formerly pastor of Bethel and Institutional churches, this city; but now pastor of Bethel church, New York City, delivered an eloquent and masterful oration on the "Constitutional Rights of the Afro-American," and old Bethel was well filled with many of his friends and old parishioners. Rev. A. J. Carey opened the meeting, with a few well chosen and appropriate remarks, introducing Bishop Schaffer, who presided throughout the evening, Rev. Jesse S. Woods, invoked the Divine blessing upon the gathering. Master Frank J. Woods, who is exceedingly popular in the Town of Lake, rendered violin solos at the opening and conclusion of the meeting. J. Max Barber, editor of "The Voice," welcomed Doctor Ransom to the city, and in doing so he paid a high tribute to his pre-eminent oratorical abilities comparing him with the greatest orators that have so far been produced by any race of people, in any part of the civilized world. Rev. Ransom, received a warm welcome, as he rose to pour out his eloquence, and for almost an hour and a half, he held his audience spellbound and swayed them to and fro with his matchless eloquence. He pitched into Booker T. Washington, and knocked his false ideas about the Negro tamely submitting to surrendering, his political rights and to permit the Southern white gentlemen to manage his affairs in all things, into a cocked hat, and the followers of the great wizard of Tuskegee, who sat under the sound of his voice, must have felt very uncomfortable while observing their idol being shattered to pieces. He paid his respects to President Roosevelt, for dishonorably discharging, without warrant or authority, the three companies belonging to the 25th Regiment, who have not been proven guilty of "Shooting up" Brownsville, Tex., and he intimated that the President, whose life was saved on Cuban soil by the Colored proper shape or manner. That they had not pointed out to him, wherein, he had the right or the power to enjoin the play, and he was therefore forced to deny the prayer of the petitioner," and the "Clansman" is doing a land office business in Chicago. But we are fully convinced, that ten Afro-Americans possessing a reasonable amount of mother wit, who are not seeking nor holding political jobs, could easily have prevented its appearance in Chicago. CHINAMAN WEDS COLORED WOMAN. At Los Angeles, Cal., the other day, a rich Chinese merchant was married to a Colored woman, and almost the entire Colored population turned out to witness the marriage. The ceremony was performed in one of the Colored churches, by Rev. C. H. Anderson, for which he received a fee of $50. The Chinaman, whose name is Keen Scheck, was attired in American clothes of the latest fashion, and his bride, Miss Anna Laura James, com Deliv- ferful Oration Bethel Church institutional Rights of the american. ion Tendered Him at of the Speaking. --- soldiers, has become so ungrateful, that he delights in raping the constitutional rights of the Afro-American. In the midst of his eloquence, he exclaimed, that "the Republican party of today, is not the Republican party of fifty years ago, which was dominated by Abraham Lincoln, Charles Sumner and men like them who devoted their talents, and best energies to the cause of the black man, in an honest effort to see that justice was meted out to him; that the Negro must cease from worshiping or voting for a party name; that he must cast his ballot, for men whether they are Democrats or Republicans, who are friendly to his interests, and in favor of his advancement, in the commercial, civil and political world. He plainly let it be understood, that "liberty was never intended to rest upon the brow of any one class of people, and that if the Negro expected to enjoy his civil and political rights in this country, he must be ready and willing to fight and die for them if need be." These were some of the many important points, brought out in his long to be remembered brilliant oration, on the natural or constitutional rights of the Afro-American. At the conclusion of the speaking, a banquet and reception was held in the lower part of the church. Dr. George C. Hall, served as toastmaster. Bishop Schaffer pronounced the blessing and the following interesting toasts were responded to. Doctor Charles E. Bentley, "The Niagara Movement." Rev. Geo. W. Gaines, "The Signs of the Times," Doctor A. Wilberforce, Williams, "Negro Enterprises." Mrs. Ida Wells-Barnett, "The Ideal Negro Manhood." M. L. Benson, "Our Sunday Clubs," Major John C. Buckner, "Our Guest," Rev. R. C. Ransom responded to the toasts. The long banquet table was most artistically decorated, and the writer had the pleasure of sitting on one side of Rev. Ransom and enjoying the feast with those who turned out to listen to his magnificent oration and to thrice welcome him to Chicago. was dressed in a manner that would have been envied by many a white belle. The bridal gown was of the finest white satin trimmed with real lace, and on her head was a hat covered with white ostrich plumes, and satin plumes to match. After the ceremony the couple retired at once to their own home, a $7,000 mansion on a popular street, which had been previously deeded as a wedding present to the bride.—The Advocate, Portland, Ore.

BISHOPS CLASH ON THE STREET. Turner Who Wedded a Handsome Divorcee, Swings a Chair at the Head of Gaines. Atlanta, Ga., Special.—The marriage last night of Bishop Henry M. Turner, Senior Bishop of the African M. E. church. Gaines was instrumental in woman, who had been acting as his private secretary, came near causing a fight today between the seventy-year-old bridegroom and Bishop Wesley Gaines, also of the African M. E. church. Gaines was instrumental in inducing a council of A. M. E. Bishops to order Turner not to marry the Woman. When Gaines met Turner on the street he denounced him for disobeying the order of the Bishops and made some statements about the woman. "It's a lie!" shouted Bishop Turner. With that Bishop Gaines made for him, and Bishop Turner lifted a chair and would have annihilated his opponent, he says, but for interferences Bishop Turner now declares that the woman he married was never wedded to Rev. R. Powell, who divorced her. She says she is the victim of a conspiracy and that Bishop Gaines is backing it. She admits Powell got a divorce from her, but she says she never contested it because she was never married to him. "My wife is a high-toned lady," declared Bishop Turner, "and Bishop Gaines must be crazy to think he can have me deposed." Bishop Turner's wife is 35 years of age, decidedly handsome and nearly white. So far Bishop Turner has had four wives, and he may outwear and outlive four more. COLORED PASSENGERS WRONGED AND ROBBED. No greater curse blights the South's escutcheon than the systematic swindling of Colored travelers, by the railroads of that section. The outrage has the sanction of law and reflects the prevailing moral sense of the ruling masses in the South. One-half of the ticket tariff levied on Colored passengers is downright robbery under the lying, makeshift of equal but separate accommodation, which falls far short of one-half the facilities and comforts accorded white passengers who pay the same fare paid by Colored passengers. The question of questions is, when will the South through legislation or moral evolution remove this carbuncle from its body, or failing to do so when will the leaders of the race exercise the sense and manhood necessary to put the monstrosity out of business. The first promising move in this direction has been made by the lonely woman of Tennessee, who forced a decision in favor of decent treatment for her race on all Jim Crow roads. When the men of the race show similar pluck to that displayed by Miss Georgia Edwards, it will not be long before a complete revolution will take place in the railway accommodation of Colored travelers in the South As the situation is now, Colored passengers have the right to report all complaints against railroads to the Inter-state Railroad Commission at Washington, D. C. Let this be done on every road where inferior provision is made for Colored passengers and the situation will soon be improved to say the least—The Christian Recorder. PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE At no time since Theodore Roosevelt has been President of the United States has he been able to pronounce the words, Negro Disfranchisement in the South, nor in any of his elaborate state papers, discuss the same. In his message this week he is very anxious about the citizenship of the Porto Rican, but has nothing to say concerning the citizenship of a one million disfranchised Negroes. And yet the Negro is expected to vote for Roosevelt or some man of his choice for the next president. "Would a Bear?"-The St. Luke Herald, Richmond, Va. 15 THE ST.

The example furnished us by Rev. Dr. Murray and his congregation many make take pattern.

This work of erection, preparations which have just been completed will be one of the most gigantic ever undertaken by a member of the Afro-American race in this section of the country, as the St. James Tabernacle is to be a most imposing and geogous affair.

His Philippine pictures have proved a decided success. Edward Knoblauck, the author of "The Shulamite," is at work on a play that will be one of Mme. Kalich's future offerings. Mr. Fiske has accepted for production this coming season a play of American life by Rupert Hughes. Instead of going to Europe on a honeymon trip George Cohan will play the leading role in "Fifty Miles From Boston" and in addition to this will devote much of his time to the preparation of a new play in which he will appear at his own theater. FACTS FROM FRANCE. The laws of Paris do not allow persons dead by suicide or murder to be cremated. A comparison of divorce statistics in France shows a constantly increasing ratio since 1884. The cost of a grave in a cemetery outside the fortification of Paris is 50 francs for five years, 317 francs for thirty years and 527 francs for a perpetual title. The Touring Club of France is searching for the "most affable, expert and suitable" hotel keeper in France. When they find him he is to have a gold medal and £100. Grave charges are being made against the public hospitals of Paris. Not many years have elapsed since the nursing sisters were expelled, and already the tip system infects them from top to bottom like a dry rot. The poorest must pay or suffer neglect. PITH AND POINT. If you can't stand for a turndown don't ask unreasonable things. Watch yourself carefully lest you make of a sympathetic friend a walling place. You can't make much of an impression by telling a crazy man about his insanity. Quite frequently men do things that remind you that common sense is not so common as it should be. The meanest man in the world is the man who will ride a free horse to death unless it is the man who becomes impudent when treated kindly. About the same number of boys seem to be leaving the farm, although the cream separator in place of the churn was expected to make a difference- Atchison Globe.

New York city contemplates the expenditure of $4,000,000 in the next two years for a municipal office building. New York city is receiving a daily average of 740 Italian immigrants, including those from Italy, Sicily and Sardinia. Records of the homes for the aged in New York city show that all of the forty institutions are now full and have long waiting lists. Unclean milk cans are a menace to the health of New York city, and investigation by the board of health shows gross neglect in their care.—New York Herald. Army and Navy. In the United States the enlisted strength of the regular army is limited by law to 100,000. Motor cycles are now used in the Austrian army for the rapid laying of field telegraph lines. Germany needs a million horses for her army on a war basis. This is more than any other nation of the world. The most recent men-of-war of the British fleet have been equipped to carry a large quantity of oil to be used with coal. CATTLE SHIPPING. How Animals Are Loaded on Board Vessels In Hawaii. Afterward I was taken to Kawaihae, where I saw cattle loaded in a most cruel manner. It was a little after o'clock when I landed on the beach among a lot of cowboys and half naked natives. The cattle were corralled under the trees, and when one was ready to be taken aboard a rope was tied about its horns. A cowboy on horseback then rode into the surf dragging the frightened steer into the water. The rope was tossed to a half naked native who was swimming, and he in turn carried it to the men waiting in a small boat. These men pulled the animal, which must now swim down, to the boat and tied him by the horns to its side. After eight steers had been tied up in this manner the engine on the steamer was set to work and the boat pulled alongside by means of a rope. The cattle were then hoisted on board by the use of a bellyband. The method of handling these dumb animals is brutal, and, while the men seem to use as much care as possible in moving them about, their piteous bellowing caused by fear made a pathetic a scene as I have ever witnessed. Thousands are shipped every year and it seems that some more humane method of putting them aboard might be adopted. The Japanese sailor on these ships is said to be the best for keeping the ship clean, while the native excels in handling the boats, especially in rough water. The Hawaiian is a born swimmer, and native boys will follow these vessels for several hundred yards as they are leaving Honolulu, swimming alongside and diving for coins thrown overboard by the travelers. The passage on these boats is always rough, and on the Ewaianal, as the ship lay at anchor out in the channel, the nights were intensely warm. Freighting in this way is necessarily expensive, but those in authority say that it is the only way practical, as no wharf could withstand the lashing of the waves caused by the mad fury of the winds during the winter. At that season it is often impossible to make landings along the rocky coast of Molokal.—Leslie's Weekly. The Electro Magnet In engineering works the electro magnet is taking a very prominent place. This device dispenses with hooks, silings and other lifting apparatus. By throwing a switch controlling the current the magnet is energized and thereby attaches itself to the bars, castings, scrap or pig iron which it is desired to lift. The magnet poles are shaped according to the nature of the material to be raised. For heavy rails they are oblong and are slung from the crane hook by a short chain. Castings weighing over two tons are successfully handled by electro magnets. Another use to which the electro magnet is put is in breaking old castings so that they may be melted and utilized. To accomplish this the magnet is made to lift and drop a steel ball weighing from one to six tons. Passing of a Famous Bridge At last the old bridge over the Golden Horn at Constantinople is about to be done away with and replaced by a new structure. An amusing tale is told in connection with the efforts of an American firm to secure the order. With a view to impressing the sultan with the quality of its work an elaborate painting was prepared for presentation to his majesty showing the bridge as it would appear during a storm which would have done credit to the Atlantic. However, the firm was informed that the sultan would be so horrified by this view that it at once prepared a picture showing the bridge as it would appear on a beautiful summer's day. Even this, however, Reuter says, failed to effect its purpose. Picture Frame Reform A campaign against the classical gold frame one constantly sees on pictures is being made by an American artist Charles Field of St. Louis, now in Paris. He contends that every frame an artist possesses should be especially designed as regards molding and carving to fit a given canvas, so it becomes not only part of the picture, but also the thing that shows it to best advantage. The movement has caused much interest and comment in American art circles. Already John Martin of New York has taken up the new idea, and two of his pictures will be exhibited in the coming autumn salon framed in this way.—Argonaut. Cold Steel. A new bayonet and also a new sword have been decided upon, but it is not known when they will replace the present regulation weapons. The sword is designed for thrusting and will be long, straight and narrow, after the pattern of the rapler. The bayonet, too, will be long and thin, so as to give its wielder a good reach. It was said some time ago that the days of long range fighting had made the bayonet almost obsolete, but the Russo-Japanese war proved that hand to hand fighting has no means been relegated to the past—London Court Journal. Dangerous Sense of Humor George G. Morton, a machinist resting on Russell street, has very sore ribs and all because he laughed too heartily. He was thoroughly enjoying a joke played on a comrade with a garden hose, and as he watched the sport from a window he laughed with great gusto, so much so that he was seized with pains and had to be helped to a seat. A medical man was called and found that he had fractured a rib and had torn away part of the lining about another rib—Bermuda Royal Gazette RENTING JESSE BINGA INSURANCE REAL ESTATE LOANS 3637 STATE STREET CHICAGO.

New York Has Four Hundred and Four Miles of Dock. More than twice as many vessels clear the port of London, to be sure, one every fourteen minutes as against one every half hour for New York, but the average cargo value is only $47,242 whereas that of New York is $92,307. In point of tonnage New York exceeds London by 1,000,000. This is due to a difference in the character of the ports that must be borne in mind in comparing them. London is England's one commercial center and aside from Liverpool its only great place of export and import. On the other hand, New York is not the commercial center of America. When the manufacturer of shoes in Boston sends his goods to Baltimore he either sends them by rail or by vessel direct without entering New York. If he wants to send his goods to France or Germany he sends them from the port of Boston. That is, the chief ports of the Atlantic seacoast, New Orleans, Charleston, Mobile, Norfolk, Philadelphia and Boston, engage in a coastwise and foreign trade in entire independence of New York. Less than 28 per cent of New York's tonnage is represented in coastwise trade. Fully 50 per cent of London's commerce, amounting to $1,370,000,000 annually, or $685,000,000, represents foreign trade, whereas of New York's $1,200,000,000 annual commerce $864,000,000 represents foreign trade, or an actual excess over London of $179,000,000. To accommodate this enormous trade New York has 404 miles of improved water frontage—that is, 404 miles of docks. This is half the distance between New York and Chicago. London has less than 200 miles of similar water frontage. Liverpool has less than 100 miles, while Hamburg, Antwerp, Rotterdam or Havre has each less than Liverpool. Practically all the available water frontage of these foreign ports has been absorbed by their docks, while New York has improved only a little over one-half of its available shore. When all the available coast is improved, as it must be rapidly, it will measure nearly as many miles as lie between the Atlantic seaboard and the Mississippi river.—Broadway Magazine. When the Elevator Stops. In some of the downtown skyscrapers the elevator service is suspended on Sunday, and the janitors and their families, who in many buildings are quartered on the topmost floor, have to descend and climb from twenty to thirty flights of stairs whenever they want to get in touch with the outside world. In one building, which is twenty-four stories high, the ten-year-old daughter of the janitor makes three round trips each Sunday—one when she goes to church in the morning, one when she attends Sunday school in the afternoon and another when she goes to meet her playmates after dinner. Each flight consists of twenty steps, making 960 steps to a round trip. Three trips make it 2,880 steps, a mountain climbing record—New York Tribune. Short on Princesses By the birth of the little son and heir to Prince and Princess Alexander of Teck the number of unmarried English princes is now increased to eleven, and if to these are added the two sons of Prince and Princess Louis of Battenberg there may be said to be thirteen princes for whom wives will have to be found at some time. It is noteworthy that at the present time Europe is suffering from a dearth of young princesses. Of late boy babies have appeared in all the royal families, and even as matters now stand it is difficult to see how these little princes are to be mated in the future. Telephone DOUOLAS ... 1865.

Santos-Dumont Makes a Bet Santos-Dumont Makes a Bet. M. Santos-Dumont has made a bet that in eight months he will have constructed a hydropane capable of traveling at a speed of sixty miles an hour. This idea of a gliding craft or hydropane is no new one. So long ago as the year 1831 a Frenchman named Garpon built a sort of flat bottomed boat for river navigation which was to all intents and purposes a hydropane, in that it drew less than an inch of water. Its means of propulsion, however, consisted of small, old fashioned engines working a ridiculous apparatus at the rear that resembled a fish's tail and fins combined. London's American Colony. A correspondent writes: "The consular estimate of the number of citizens of the United States permanently resident in London either for business, pleasure, profit or because generally they prefer to live outside the United States is 5,000. Of these the names of 8,500 are known to be in the London directory; about the remaining 1,500 there is more uncertainty, and the number itself is an approximate calculation—London Times.

It is said in Pittsburgh that Mr. Carnegie has in view a plan to give substantial aid to the cities and towns that are struggling to support Carnegie libraries. The kaiser has tried pretty much everything but business. He is a composer, a painter, a sculptor, a maker of armies, a preacher, and now he has an art store. Sir Wilfrid Laurier, premier of Canada, on his retirement from office will write a history of the Dominion. In his early years he did considerable newspaper writing. He is a master of the English language. Louis Madelin, lecturer of the Alliance Francaise in the United States for the coming year, will lecture in the United States and Canada on historical subjects at the leading universities and expects to return to Paris in May. Clark Williams, who has been appointed by Governor Hughes as superintendent of banks of New York state, is vice president of the Columbia Trust company of New York. Mr. Williams was graduated from Williams college in 1892. Rev. John Green Brady, three times governor of Alaska, has lost what money he had, and at fifty-eight he has got to begin again. He risked his all in the Reynolds enterprises in Alaska, which were wrecked by the failure of the Reynolds bank at Valdez. Abbas II., the khelde of Egypt, is one of the most cultured of oriental rulers and is thoroughly European in his tastes and habits. He is an expert linguist, a devotee of music, a composer, a practical agriculturist, a teetotaler and about the only Egyptian man who is not a cigarette smoker. Both the president and Mrs. Roosevelt are fond of music, and each of their six children inherits the love and has had the advantages of the best teachers. Mrs. Longworth is perhaps the best musician in the family, being a graceful performer on the piano and able to accompany Mr. Longworth in his almost professional skill on the violin. Louis Gold, one of the best known builders and real estate men in Brooklyn, has had a most interesting career. He was born in the province of Wilma, Russia, and fled Russian persecution and emigrated with a number of others to Argentina. There he was held in peonage, from which he escaped and came to the United States. Today he is rated as one of the Brooklyn millionaires, although he is only thirty-two years of age. NEW YORK CITY. The board of estimate of the city says the municipality will spend $15,000,000 more in 1908 than during the present year. Daily in New York city 49,500 persons pay the street car lines 5 cents for the privilege of hanging fast to straps for from three to fifty miles. Most of the new houses being built in the borough of Brooklyn are of frame construction, costing on an average $4,100 each, while a majority of those in the Bronx are of brick, each one costing about $6,500. What was an almost impassable waste of two miles of rocks and brush a quarter of a century ago is now one of New York's most fashionable thoroughfares, possessing natural beauties and artistic structures not surpassed in the city. It is Riverside drive.—New York Herald. ENGLISH ETCHINGS Of London's population 280,000 are members of some sort of clubs. Measurements made in London schools prove that the children of the well to do are better grown for their age than the children of the poor. Asked by a London police court magistrate recently how often her husband assaulted her, a woman replied, "Not very often—only three or four days a week." There are only three engravers of shorland in England. One lives at Bath. As a joke he has suggested to his two London fellow workers the propriety of a trades union. In England and Wales there are about 1,600,000 persons over sixty-five years of age, and in the course of a year more than a fourth of that number are compelled to accept poor relief.

It is quite time that a new fashion in wills should appear, declares Law Notes. The old style has been to make wills as full of holes as a sieve for the lawyers to fight about. It now seems to be the growing practice in New York to have one's will subjected to expert antemortem construction and criticism. The idea is for the testator to assume that he is dead and to discover by an independent expert examination during his life what is likely to happen to his will after his death. Daniel S. Remsen of the New York bar, author of "Remsen on the Preparation and Contest of Wills," recently said: "The plan of submitting wills to a rigid criticism after they have been made and before the testator's death is new in the sense of its becoming popular. It is also justified by results. In a majority of cases such examinations reveal one or more weak spots, and frequently grave errors are found in wills drawn by lawyers of high standing. A little caution on the part of Mr. Tilden would have prevented his fiasco. As a result of this movement I predict that the rising generation will be spared much litigation, and many fortunes will be saved from the blight of family discord." Twelve Years In a Bath. A tepid bath, which has lasted over twelve years, has just come to an end in the State hospital at Brunswick owing to the death of a patient named Ferdinand Schilme, a bricklayer, who injured his spine through a fall in November, 1894. The lower portion of his body was completely paralyzed through the accident, while his stomach and other organs were badly injured. Several operations proved unsuccessful. The patient showed remarkable tenacity of life, but suffered excruciating pain, which rendered his stay in bed unendurable. The surgeons therefore decided to render existence more comfortable by immersing him up to the breast in a tank, through which water ran continuously. There he has lain ever since, with a supporting band round his breast and his head on air cushions. He soon became accustomed to the position, and as his hands were free, he learned to knit and to carve wooden toys, becoming eventually so expert that he earned a good subsistence and was able to support his aged mother. This lengthened stay in the water, however, induced tuberculosis, from which he died—Berlin Cor. London Telegraph. Tooth Plugging "You remember," said Mr. Killkinton, "that grand old song, 'Grandpa's Teeth Are Plugged With Zinc?' Well, I always supposed that that zinc business was simply a grotesquely humorous flight of fancy. I never thought that anybody's teeth could really be filled with zinc, but now I am not so sure about that. Lately I have had four teeth filled, and no two have been filled with the same material. One was filled with amalgam, one with gold, one with porcelain and one with gutta percha, and now the material they used to fill grandpa's teeth with in the song doesn't seem to me anything like so ridiculous as it did. I have seven teeth yet to be filled, and if the dentist keeps on as he has begun, using something different for every tooth, why, I wouldn't be surprised if before I got through I had one tooth at least filled with zinc."—New York Sun. A Prayer For Pie Answered. An act of Providence which is considered one of the most unique in local huntsmen's history occurred near Milnot, N. D., recently. Attorney Ben Bradford, Sam Clark, editor of the Reporter, and two other business men had spent a successful morning in pursuit of game and were finishing their noonday meal. At its conclusion one of the party bemoaned their forgetfulness in neglecting to bring pie. Hardly had he mentioned the fact when across the prairie came a buggy drawn by a runaway pair of horses. The team was stopped, and on the seat, with a knife inserted under their crusts, were found two apple pies.-Minneapolis Journal. It Wasn't Funny. "The Clerk of the Day" in the Boston Transcript tells this story: "Two of the Clerk's neighbors were recently battling over the Commonwealth Country club links.

The Tobacco Moth Tobacco dealers in India are greatly troubled by a moth or fly that finds its way into a box of cigars or tobacco and lays an egg that soon develops into a destructive worm or grub, which bores through the wrapper into the body of the cigar and ruins it.

Contrary to general belief, the old Liberty bell is not the property of the nation or of the city of Philadelphia, but of four sisters who are heirs of John Wilbank, the man who made the new bell shortly after the old one was cracked and who took the old bell as part payment. According to the Home Magazine, three of the sisters—Mrs. James B. McClosky, Mrs. G. D. Emerson and Mrs. S. B. Coward—live in Philadelphia. The fourth, Mrs. S. W. B. Diehl, lives in Washington. By an order of the assembly of the province of Pennsylvania the Liberty bell was cast by an English founder in 1751. Soon after arriving in this country the bell broke, but was recast from the same metal in the same form and with the original inscription, "Proclaim liberty throughout the land." The ownership passed from provincial authorities to the state, but in 1818-it was purchased by the city of Philadelphia, together with the old statehouse and grounds. During the celebration over the arrival of Lafayette in 1824 the bell was rung so vigorously it became cracked and a few months later was ordered repaired by a new bell cast by John Wilbank. The latter bell is hanging in the steeple of Germantown hall. Our Navy's Officers. In the eyes of foreigners there are some startling defects in the personnel of our navy. Perhaps the principal one is the age of the flag officers and captains. Not a navy in the world numbers so many men of advanced years in command. All our admirals are between sixty and sixty-two. It is probable that in the event of war lasting a year not one-half of the officers at present in command would possess the physical vigor to remain on active duty. The extreme youth and lack of experience of the main part of the crews of these ships is another weakness. The percentage of veterans in the complement of each vessel is small. Our battleships are much underofficered with experienced subordinate officers, gun division officers particularly. The men-of-war of all other nations carry many more officers than ours and more experienced than the American youngsters now available for such positions. This gap between our veterans and youthful men and commanders is due to the neglect of congress, which permitted five years to elapse after the Spanish-American war before the number of midshipmen was increased at Annapolis.—Broadway Magazine. The Professor's Lot. Only a short time ago a college teacher spoke seriously in public of the banker, the lawyer and even of the burglar as being in touch with life in a truer sense than is the university professor. And the professors' frequent reference to the poor rewards and all the outward hardships of their work indicates some little envy of the goods of life which come to the merchant, the lawyer and the physician. Yet there is no lot on earth that offers greater rewards and greater opportunities. And when an individual has grievances the blame is often placed primarily on the president, since the form of organization encourages the professors to place the responsibility anywhere but on themselves. It would be more fitting if their constitution gave no excuse, but constantly invited each to perceive that with himself it rested whether he would succeed or fall—George M. Stratton in Atlantic. Most Costly Thing In the World. Some idea of the difficulties in the way of extracting radium from the pitchblende waste may be appreciated when we learn that pitchblende, the mineral that is richest in radium, contains but one-millionth part of 1 per cent of radium, less than the proportion of gold in ocean water. We would think it a pretty thankless task to mine gold, or extract it, from sea water. But the work would be far easier, and we would get more gold from a cubic yard of sea water than we would radium from a ton of pitchblende. Perhaps, then, it will not be hard to appreciate how little radium is in the world—less than twenty grains, certainly not half a teaspoonful of pure radium bromide. A grain of gold can be had for five cents or less. Diamonds are worth by weight much more, perhaps $1 a grain, but the cost of radium is truly fabulous—$7,200 for a single grain—Harper's Weekly. China's Pernicious Tax System. Peking is now quite safe for foreigners to go freely in all parts of the city, except in the Forbidden City, where the emperor's palace is situated. The Chinese are developing slowly along the road toward western civilization, but so far they have not attained any great speed. Men who have spent their lives in the east and know the country thoroughly declare that China will not develop materially until she has a good government. The present system of collecting taxes, which has been in vogue for centuries, is the mother of all graft, the incubus under which the nation is suffering, and will keep the country back until the system has been completely wiped out—New York Times. Trying Ordeal For a Hunter While parridge shooting at Buxted a sportsman suddenly had hundreds of wasps settle upon him. They crawled upon his hands and face, but he kept his nerve and did not interfere with them. The wasps scared the gentleman's friends, and they got some distance away, being afraid to go near him. After about ten minutes the wasps flew off in a body without having stung him—London Standard. BUCKING AN ICE FLOE An Incident In One of Peary's Arctic Exploration Trips. One of the most striking passages in Robert E. Peary's "Nearest the Pole" is his description of the action of an ice floe which threatened his ship. He writes: "Its slow, resistens motion was frightful, yet fascinating. Thousands of tons of smaller ice which the big floe drove before it the Roosevelt had easily and gracefully turned under her sloping bilges, but the edge of the big floe rose to the plank sheer, and a few yards back from its edge was an old pressure ridge, which rose higher than the bridge deck. This was the crucial moment. For a minute or so, which seemed an age, the pressure was terrific. The Roosevelt's ribs and interior bracing cracked like the discharge of muskety, the deck amidships bulged up several inches, while the main rigging hung slack and the masts and rigging shook as in a violent gale. Then, with a mighty tremor and a sound which reminded me of an athlete intaking his breath for a supreme effort, the ship shook herself free and jumped upward till her propeller showed above water. The big floe snapped against the edge of the ice foot forward and aft and under us, crumpling up its edge and driving it in shore some yards, then came to rest, and the conimotion was transferred to the outer-edge of the floe, which crumbled away with a dull roar as other floes smashed against it and tore off great pieces in their onward rush, leaving the Roosevelt stranded, but safe." On another occasion it required thirty-five and a half hours of incessant strain and struggle to clear a way through the obstructing ice floes to the open water beyond. Mr. Peary says: "The Roosevelt fought like a gladiator, turning, twisting, straining with all her force, smashing her full weight against the heavy floes whenever we could get room for a rush and rearing upon them like a steeplechaser taking a fence. Ah, the thrill and tension of it, the lust of battle, which crowded days of ordinary life into one! The forward rush, the gathering speed and momentum, the crash, the upward heave, the grating snarl of the ice as the steel sham stem split it as a mason's hammer splits granite or trod it under or sent it right and left in whirling fragments, followed by the violent roll, the backward rebound and then the gathering for another rush were glorious." At such times the physical tension was intense: "Every one on deck hung with breathless interest on our movement, and as Bartlett and I clung in the rigging I heard him whisper through teeth clinched from the purely physical tension of the throbbing ship under us: 'Give it to 'em, Teddy; give it to 'em!' More than once did a fireman come panting on deck for a breath of air, look over the side, mutter to himself, 'By thunder, she's got to go through!' then drop into the stakehold, with the result a moment later of an extra belch of black smoke from the stack and an added turn or two to the propeller." A. Whirlwind Ship. "Typhonold," a word derived from a Greek term meaning whirlwind, has been applied to a new type of boat invented by a French engineer, who seeks to do away with the present day screw propeller. The new screw is placed at the bow of the boat instead of at the stern, and it is believed that by it the centrifugal displacement and the central void of the present type are converted into benefits, and the limit to the advantageous increase in velocity of rotation of the propeller is removed. The apparatus is designed to work by suction in the manner of a waterspout. The.inventor figures that his boat, with a thirty-two and a half inch screw, will go through the water at a rate of more than sixty-two miles an hour. The Picture Postal Card. The picture or souvenir postal card is probably doing more to make the world known to the untraveled than all the geographies and gazetteers. There is scarcely a village anywhere in the domain of the postal union that has not had its picture taken for a postal card impression in black or white or in colors, and thus its humble fame has been carried over seas and introduced to the four corners of the Union. All the aliens and prodigal sons cannot return for the old home week celebrations, but, thanks to the man who invented the picture postal card, they may be reminded the old home scenes at an expenditure of a few cents.-New York Sun. Tough Remedies. Tibet's army is to be modernized, and with it probably will be the grand lama's military medical staff corps. The sick Tibetan soldier, it was reported a year ago, was put through a sort of faith healing process. An army physician of the old school chalked a prescription on a board. The martial patient washed off the lettering and drank the rinsings. The plan of the younger doctor was simpler. He scrawled his prescription on a piece of paper and gave it to the invalid to chew and swallow. Windmills and Electricity The use of windmills for generating electric current has given favorable results in the tests for the Danish government made by Professor La Cour. The four wing wheel proves to be the best form. With such a wheel having fifteen square yards of surface he obtained two horsepower from a wind of twenty feet per second and ten horsepower from a wind of thirty-five feet per second. The plant will feed 450 incandescent lamps, with some are lamps and motors.-Maxwell's Talismaa HILLMAN'S STATE & WASHINGTON STS. WHERE EVERY PATRON Saves ON EVERY PURCHASE 81st and State Streets J.
