The Broad Ax

The BROAD AX JOHN H. The People's Candidate for Alden out with both hands down, April 7th [Name not visible in the image] Two years ago Alderman John H. Jones, who had faithfully served, all the people residing in the Eighth ward, for three terms in the city council, fell outside of the "breast works," but with the close of his present campaign there is every indication that he will be triumphantly re-elected to that body, for on all sides his popularity and strength is apparent, and all classes of his fellow citizens are coming forth and marching under his banner, which simply means that he will have smooth sailing election day. The great majority of all the taxpayers and voters residing in the Eighth ward fully realize that a great mistake was made in permitting Alderman Jones to be defeated two years ago, they all know that while he was a member of the city council he accomplished more in the way of getting lasting improvements in the ward than any other Alderman who has ever represented the people in that ward in the city council. His past record in the council is without a blemish, and while serving on all the most important committees in it he was always figuring on how to advance the interest of all the people residing in this marvelous city. Worthy Afro-Americans have no better friend in the world than Alderman Jones, and the many good deeds he has rendered them without any hope of reward are too numerous to mention, and we earnestly call upon Robert E. Townes, and all the other Afro-Americans residing in the Eighth ward, to rally to his support on election day and assist to return him to the city council. CHARLES J. BOYD.

Democratic candidate for Alderm an from the 30th Ward, popular business man and well known to the people throughout the Town of Lake. Democratic candidate for Alderman from the 30th Ward, popular business man and well known to the people throughout the Town of Lake. The Colored voters of the 30th ward are rallying to the support of Chas. J. Boyd, for Alderman. Mr. Boyd was the friend of our people when he was in the Council and the people believe that after his election he will continue his activity in our behalf. When the Colored Exposition in 1902 was held at the 1st Regiment Armory, Mr. Boyd introduced a resolution in the city council providing for a committee to be appointed to assist the management of the exposition in bringing about its success. This gave the exposition a recognition by the entire city and helped in its ultimate success. The proceeds of the exposition went for the maintenance of the Home for the Aged and Inform Colored people at 610 Garfield Blvd. Another instance worthy of our notice is that when the water was shut off in this institution because of non-payment of taxes and our aged people in this home were denied the God given "drink of water." Mr. Boyd came again to our rescue and had the taxes amounting to $75 wiped off the books in the water office. He insisted that the Home, he put on the list of Charitable institutions which are exempt from taxation and since that time no water tax bills have been made against the Home. This is a matter which is of interest to every Colored man in the 30th ward and as our friend has favored us, in the past let us then in return give him our undivided support in this election which is entirely local in its nature. Let us not forget these and other favors and when the polls close on election day Apr. 7, let it not be said that the Colored men have been ungrateful to such a friend as Chas. J. Boyd. --- Vol. XIII He accomplished more in the way of getting lasting improvements in the ward than any other Alderman who has ever represented the people in that ward in the city council.

ALDERMAN WILLIAM T. MAYPOLE Alderman William T. Maypole is so well and favorably known to all the citizens of Chicago that he needs no introduction to the thousands of readers of The Broad Ax. He came to this city from Baltimore, Md., where he was born, while a little boy, and has resided in it for more than fifty years; in fact, he has greatly assisted to make Chicago what it is, and for the past twenty-five years he has lived in the 14th ward. He is happily married, and resides at 185 Park avenue. He is serving his sixth term as Alderman from that ward, and he is one of the valuable and hard-working members of the city council. He is a member of the Finance, Local Transportation and other important committees, and being a patriotic citizen, he is deeply interested in everything which will redound to the benefit of all classes of his fellow citizens. Alderman Maypole is a large property holder and one of the most successful and substantial business men in Chicago. It will be recalled that in the latter part of February, 1902, that Louis F. Wright, who resided at 20 Bishop court, this city, was murdered by a white mob at New Madrid, Mo. At that time Louis Wright was travelling with the Richards & Pringle's minstrels, and because he resented an in- [Name] ALDERMAN WILLIAM T. MAYPOLE. Warm friend of the worthy member has honestly served in the City Council will continue to represent the 14th W. April. Warm friend of the worthy members of the Afro-American race, who has honestly served in the City Council for the past twelve years, and who will continue to represent the 14th Wrad in that body after the 7th of April. EX. ALDERMAN JOHN BURNS John Burns, republican candidate for alderman of the 30th ward has served four years in the City Council, ending April 1907. Mr. Burns was a member of the important committees, and by virtue of his membership in the Finance Committee, he was instrumental in having the ward appropriations for streets and alley cleaning increased from $26,000 to $40,00. During his time, there was upwards of $100,000 expended for rehabilitation, and equipment of the water service in the 30th ward. The electric light service in the ward was more than doubled, and he assisted materially in getting $20,000 appropriated for the Thomas Gahan bath house, now located and in service at 42rd and Wallace Sts. He has taken an active interest in improving the conditions of streets and alley cleaning, removal of garbage, in having many of the streets paved, and the sidewalk system in the 30th ward is now the best of any ward in Chicago. As a member of the Finance Com- As a member of the Sigma chapter gull heaped upon him by some of the Christian gentlemen of that city, he was arrested by the sheriff, who deliberately turned him over to the moo, which promptly hung him up to a tree and riddled his body with bullets. On the Wednesday morning after the death of Louis R. Wright, Alderman Maypole, Wright's mother, Harry Goyings, one of his relatives, and the writer appeared before the Finance Committee of the city council, and Alderman Maypole acquainted it with the facts in the case, and requested a little financial assistance for Mrs. Wright to aid her to bring the body of her son back to Chicago for burial. The hat was passed around and $11 was lifted. Then Alderman Maypole ran his hand in his pocket and brought up ten dollars, which he donated to Mrs. Wright, making $21 in all, which was turned over to her to enable her to accomplish her object. He also furnished transportation for the body, and an attendant from that point in Missouri to this city. Alderman Maypole was no candidate for re-election at that time, and none of those Colored people whom he so generously befriended resided in his ward. For these and many other reasons, the Afro-Americans living in the 14th ward should do everything in their power and assist to return Alderman Maypole to the city council. M. ers of the Afro-American race, who cil for the past twelve years, and who rad in that body after the 7th of mittee, he was very active in bringing about an increase in salary in the Police and Fire Department, Water Pipe Extension, Sewer and Street department, and other departments under the bureau of engineering. When in office he made a habit of traveling through the ward daily, acquainting himself with the conditions of the streets and alleys, and always kept in touch with the business people in the different parts of the ward. If elected to the City Council, Mr. Burns will be an influential man with the present administration, as he enjoys the good will of Mayor Busse, and has the confidence of all members of the City Council. The business people and tax payers of the 30th ward believe it is to the interest of the ward to have a man in the City Council who will have influence with the administration, in order that the 30th ward might receive the treatment which it is deserving of, and as Mr. Burns' past record is very commendable, it is honored that the Communication is the key to success. [Name] ALDERMAN CHARLES M. FOELL. Valuable member of the Judiciary Candidate for re-election to that body committee of the City Council and from the 21st ward. Alderman Charles M. Foell was elected to the city council in 1906, from the Twenty-first ward, after a red-hot contest with Harry R. Eagle, and from the time that Alderman Foell began his labors in that body he has proven himself to be one of its most valuable members. He is a member of the Judiciary Committee, Gas, Oil and Electric Light, Streets and Alleys, north, and other important committees of the city council, and many times he is instrumental with his clear and cool judgment in guiding his associates onto firm or solid ground when legal phases of various propositions affecting the rights or the interests of all the citizens of Chicago, that come up for discussion. Alderman Foell has taken pride in all the affairs of his office and has at all times been more than willing to serve his constituents to the best of his ability. In an eminent degree he represents the highest and the cleanest type of the new City Fathers and he favors every movement which will bring about a greater and more beautiful Chicago. He is popular with his fellow citizens on the North Side. He has served for two terms as President of the Marquette Club. He knows no man by the color of his skin, for they all look alike to him. His Aldermanic boom is being strongly boosted by the Chicago Tribune, and the other leading papers both daily and weekly, and it is freely predicted by all the wise politicians on the North Side, including his steadfast friend, Hon.

BOOKER T. WASHINGTON'S LOGIC. As an educator along practical lines, Mr. Booker T. Washington is without a peer; as a vitalizing moralist he is second only to President Roosevelt; as a preacher of the everlasting gospel of honest, earnest toll there is none other who wields so wide and wholesome an influence. But as a political economist Mr. Washington has so far proved to be a dismal failure; a sophist of the most pronounced order; the high priest of a new and strange doctrine, designed by nim especially for the Colored race, and, withal, the most dangerous and perversive known to modern times. Not only this, but because of his position as an educator, no less than his rare powers of persuasion, he is unquestionably inoculating the masses of both races who do their thinking by proxy, especially when it comes to questions respecting the just status of Negroes, with the belief that his industrial policies, destined especially for Negroes, are, in fact, not only best for the race, but the ideal toward which the Negro must constantly strive and to which the country is justified in pushing him. While the masses of all races have ever been throughout the receding ages lowly workers for wages, dependent for a living upon whoever would give them an opportunity to work, with Mr. Washington every Negro, but yesterday out of the jungles of Africa has within him one making or a captain of industry. What has the average Negro in common with the average man of any other race, that he should ask or expect to be allowed to share, as a wage-carner, the common opportunities of a common country? Let the masses of all other races be allowed to work for wages, and consequently for others. But as for the masses of Negroes, they are of such a superior tribe that they are to create their own opportunities, and, consequently, work for themselves. If this palpable impossibility is not forced upon Negroes, Mr. Washington has another made-to-order alternative, equally preposterous. This is a demand that Negroes so far surpass other men in any line of labor sought that employers will be forced to employ them because of their superior worth. "There is no race prejudice about the American Dollar," exclaimed Mr. Washington at Atlantic City. "When it is profitable to employ Negroes; when their work is superior to that of other races, they will be employed." There is not a branch of any industry which has not been brought, by those who have had thousands of years for patient training, to the highest degree of perfection ever known. Yet Mr. Washington dumfounds and discourages his race by saying to them and to the world that they must not only equal, but must surpass this labor with the cumulative skill of centuries before they should even expect or hope to share with such labor the common opportunities of a common country. If Negroes appeal from such a blighting decree they are "whining" and "complaining." Representatives of 27,000 local labor unions are now in Washington with "Labor's Protest to Congress" against "The most grave and momentous situation which has ever confronted the working people of this country." Who, beside Mr. Washington, would proclaim, that the situation confronting white workmen, who share without let or hindrance every advantage accruing from American industries, is more grave and momentus than is the situation confronting Negro workmen? None. Yet there is not a sociologist or a political economist aside from Mr. Washington, who does not know and readily admit that labor has a just cause for complaint, and the trend of legislation is ostensibly, if reluctantly, toward a widening of the opportunities of the tolling masses. The Republicans will have a plank to this effect in their national platform; the Democrats make it a special issue; the Populists have little other excuse for existing; the Socialists no other ex- cuse. The President is now preparing a special message to Congress to this self-same effect. No one says to these toiling millions that they are "whining" and "complaining" because they refuse to be satisfied with the labor from which Negroes are almost completely excluded. It remains for Mr. Washington to say to the race which is thus at the tail-end of the industrial procession: "You have no claim on or part in this move for broader opportunities. Create your own industrial opportunities, or go to the industrial wall." As an abstract educator Mr. Washington's influence for good is universal; as a political economist he is a positive menace to his race.—The Pilot, Philadelphia, Pa. DEATH OF GEORGE L. GLENWOOD. Last Saturday afternoon at 430 o'clock, George L. Glenwood, husband of Mrs. Nellie Glenwood 143, 22d st., finally passed away after long suffering with tuberculosis. Mr. Glenwood was in his 43rd year, and was married 23 years ago. Too much praise cannot be bestowed upon Mrs. Glenwood for her constant devotion to her husband and the sacrifices she made to nurse him through his long illness. Funeral services were held over his remains Tuesday morning. Rev. H. E. Stewart officiating. Mrs. Clifford Johnson in charge. Interment at Oakhill, J. R. Dunn, A. L. Huntley, George H. Hight, Sargent Churchill, J. H. Holland and Mr. Stevens were the pallbearers. Many of the white friends of Mr. and Mrs. Glenwood attended the funeral and were among those who contributed the floral offerings which were numerous and exceedingly fine. Jarrett Johnson, a wealthy Negro farmer of Varner, was shot and killed from ambush Saturday about 3 oclock. He was fired on by an unidentified Negro, who had seceded himself under the bridge and when Johnson came along, riding on his horse, the assassin emptied the contents of a double-barrel shotgun into his abdomen. Johnson was picked up unconscious ten minutes later by a Negro farm hand and taken to Varner for treatment. He lived five hours. The dead man's son, Jarret Johnson, Jr., was in Pine Bluff when his father was killed. He remained here last night and made preparations for the funeral. He declared that his father recently had some trouble with a Negro named George Battles, who was until recently a tenant on Johnson's place. According to young Johnson, his father ordered Battles off his place several days ago and Battles moved on to the plantation of J. Walker Jones, a few miles away. He knows of no other enemy, he says, that his father had. Worth $40,000. His plantation is one of the finest in this section and he leaves other valuable real estate holdings and a sawmill, which will aggregate $40,000 in value. At the time Wiley Jones the wealthy Negro horseman of this city, died here, some years ago, Johnson was one of his largest creditors, holding a claim for about $6,000 against the Jones estate. Johnson had been to Varner that afternoon to pay freight on a car of corn. A posse of officers with bloodhounds are out searching for the assasin and the Negroes of the Varner neighborhood are much incensed over the tragedy. —The Bluff City News, Memphis Tenn.

THE POLICE ARE SCORED FOR THE BRUTAL METHODS THEY PURSUE IN ARRESTING PRISONERS. HOT SHOTS FOR ALL WHO FAIL TO ADHERE TO THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES. WEALTHY INDIVIDUALS AND CORPORATIONS LOOK UPON THE LAWS OF THE LAND WITH THE GREATEST CONTEMPT. While socialism is making gigantic strides in the United States and Anarchy is poisoning the atmosphere with its awful doctrines of murder and rapine the time has come for warning the people that the only way to preserve our institutions is to insist on strict observance of the laws of our country. No man is fit to be a citizen of this commonwealth who is not willing to obey the laws and to insist on their observance by his fellow citizens. Yet what do we find in America. An almost total disregard of the Constitution of the country and a persistent and fragrant attempt by all classes to either circumvent or defy the principles and regulations on which our institutions are founded. It is only the bombastic fool who thinks such a condition of rottenness can last and from the highest to the lowest citizen the State must exact strict obedience to its lawful commands. How is anarchy fostered? Is it not by the example of law-makers, rich corporations and private individuals who ask for exceptions in the administration of law in their own favor. The record is a terrible one. The impression is deep seated among the people that money buys high political office. Bankers, who should be the guardians of the nations prosperity are notoriously guilty of disregarding the statutes made for the protection of depositors. Rich and respected citizens are engaged as the late President Benjamin Harrison said in a speech at the Union League club, in an organized effort to evade taxation. Our own Board of Review taxes property at 70 per cent of its real value instead of the full cash value as provided by the State of Illinois. Ministers of the gospel approve of a campaign against public officians engineered by professional criminals. One minister recently declared the country would have to run blood and violence be used in order to defeat the liquor interests.

Old Jeff Davis of Arkansas, who came to Chicago in January to deliver a speech at the Andrew Jackson celebration, but could not do so on ac- Great corporations, asking special privileges from the city of Chicago have been convicted of stealing the public water. The Chicago council passes laws in plain violation of the federal constitution. The right of free speech is denied by the police, instead of making arrests for the violation of law when incendiary utterances are made. Lawyers are ready and willing to forge evidence and misrepresent the truth in order to free the vilest criminals. Judges from the bench arrogate to themselves the right to override the laws they are sworn to administer, whether it be in parolling convicted prisoners, or releasing them from prison after conviction. Members of labor unions are willing to engage in a campaign or slugging and violence to increase wages, rather than depend on their votes. The public streets are stolen by railway corportations and rich merchants. Aldermen are willing to barter away the public domain with full knowledge that their actions are illegal and unwarranted. The police, instead of assuming that a prisoner is innocent until proven guilty, use the barbarous methods of the sweat box and the third degree in order to torture confessions from their wards. With such a record is it any wonder that the ignorant, the depraved and the reckless have no respect for law and order? The President of the United States, whose office should be sacred in a republic is insulted and reviled even by College professors as well as hair brained radicals. The Negroes of the South are openly robbed of their political rights and legislators boast and joke about this outrage on the floors of Congress. Again we repeat the time has come for every man who believes in republican government to nail his colors to the mast of patriotism and while denouncing the high and lowly law breaker to insist on unswerving allegiance to the laws of our country. If this warning goes unheeded there will be a terrible reckoning. L. B. W. count of drinking too many highballs was slugged in Little stock, Ark., by one of its leading citizens a few day ago and fined $25 for flourishing a big horse pistol, and for playing the part of a bully and a ruffian, and think of it; Jeff is an honored member of the United State Senate, and belongs to the superior race. Judge S. Laing Williams, has through the influence of Booker Taft Washington, been appointed one of the small assistants, in the ome of the United States District Attorney, for years Judge Williams has been a firm supporter of Booker Taft Washington policy of distranchising the Negro in the South, and for years the Judge has been an officer in the Negro National Business League, which is run in the interest of the wizard of Tuskegee, but in all those years Judge Williams has transacted mighty little law business or any other kind of business. And from now on it is earnestly hoped that none of those whom he dearly loves will endeavor to break away with any more type-writers! ```markdown ``` Dr. George C.

It is claimed by several big fellows who know everything that is going on that "the following members were absent and failed to respond to the toasts set opposite their names:" Dr. A. Wilberforce Williams, Jacob L. Parks, Dr. A. L. Smith, George W. Walker, Dr. M. J. Brown, E. M. Blackwell, Dr. John C. Davis, and Dr. W. A. Buckner. It is said that these and other members of the Club, were dead willing to be present and boost the affair along if it had been gotten up by the Fellowship Club, but as long as it was all planned and the whole affair carried out by its president, at his own expense, they did not feel like accepting of his individual hospitality. Heretofore the members of the Fellowship Club, who are composed of the most prominent and wealthy Afro-Americans in Chicago, in order not to pay out any money for a meeting place, have held their meetings in Jacob L. Parks' "Dead Room," 3155 State street, and as Brother Parks feels that he ought to have a little money for the use of his "Dead Room," and as no ready money has come his way, for some reason or other two months have passed without the club holding its regular monthly meeting, and some say that several of its members are aching to attend, the next meeting so that they can give expression to their views in connection with the last ball given by the Club, and there will be a clashing of arms when the warring factions meet face to face! Congressman J. Thomas Heflin, of Alabama, who declared at the time, that Booker T. Washington lunched with President Roosevelt, that someone, ought to have set off a charge of dynamite under their chairs, shot and dangerously wounded Louis Lundy a Negro and also a white man, while riding on a street car in Washington, D. C., last Friday. The Anarchist Congressman from Alabama, was on his way to deliver a temperance lecture, in one of the White Methodist churches, and when arrested a saloon keeper signed his bond for $5000. Such Anarchists as Heflin, Tillman, Vardaman, Jeff Davis and Rev. Thomas Dixon Jr., should be chucked into a cave and smothered for the good of this country. It is said that Booker T. Washington does not even trouble himself to register and vote. And this is the man whom President 'Brownsville' Roosevelt would have tell us what to do, politically. A nice leader for loyal Northern Afro-Americans, especially when our Southern brethren, almost to a man, repudiate his leadership in everything except, possibly, the matter of industrial education. Booker's "Taft" nerve is astonishing, to say the least. We will have none of it—Cleveland Gazette. FOUR ROOM FLAT FOR RENT. Second floor flat of four rooms strictly modern for rent.

The Committee of Negro citizens on the Prevention of Tuberculosis have prepared the following program: Sunday, April 5, 8 p. m., Zion M. E. Church, 38th and Dearborn street. Speakers—Rev. W. E. D. Jones, Dr. A. W. Springs, Mrs. A. M. Smith and Dr. Pickett. It is the intention of the Committee to hold meetings and furnish good speakers in every church, public hall and club throughout the city, where ever they may be able to secure an evening or afternoon. Anyone wishing a meeting of this character, may secure a speaker any Sunday evening or any evening during the week by communicating with the Secretary of the Committee, Dr. A. Wilberforce Williams, at the Chicago Tuberculosis Institute, 51 La Salle street. FACTS IN FEW LINES New South Wales has no work houses. The use of tanbark has fallen off 15 per cent since 1600, although its value has increased. Culture of a new fruit, the lignon berry, is to be introduced into this country from its Swedish home. The new management of the Metropolitan Opera House, New York city, is talking of introducing grand opera in English. There is more than $250,000 in the treasury of New York city due to former employees of the city, but which has never been called for. Two gothic figures torn from French cathedrals by the mob in the French revolution have found their way to the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art. The Carpenters' union of Winnipeg, Man., boasts of three men who have been continuous members of the organization for more than thirty-six years. Consul John H. Snodgrass of Pretoria reports that mica is found in many places in the Transvaal, Orange River Colony and Rhodesia in paying quantities. Another attempt has failed to wrest from the sands of the Mexican shore line the treasure supposed to be lying with the bones of the steamer Golden Gate, which was burned off Manzanillo in 1862. The custom of using convicts in treadmills is still practiced in some English prisons. The speed is about thirty steps a minute, and if a man misses a step a crossbar strikes the calves of his legs. Luther Burbank now promises a hardy banana that will grow in the north and thus enable the thrifty householder to step into his dooryard and gather sufficient fruit to make a delicious appetizer for the more serious things of the breakfast. While repairing the road between Talous-les-Vignes and Conde-sur-Marne, France, workmen found two horse skulls of unusually large dimensions. The skulls were still very hard, and from all indications the horses were buried there hundreds of years ago. A caravan of gypsies which has been resting on the Franco-Belgian frontier since October is unable to retreat or advance, as the French gendarmes refuse to allow it to go forward, while the Belgian gendarmes are equally firm in their refusal to permit it to return. Waycross, Ga., with a population of 9,000, has no poorhouse, nine out of ten of the white population own their homes and 93 per cent of the children attend school. The saloon license has annually for the last sixteen years been fixed at $30,000, and no one has offered to pay the amount for the privilege of opening a saloon. The municipality of Valparaiso is about to erect a theater building with a seating capacity of 1,005 on the site of the one destroyed by the great earthquake of August, 1906. It is to be up to date and as nearly earthquake and fire proof as can be built. Large quantities of steel will be used in its construction. In connection with the death of the king and crown prince of Portugal it is noted that the members of the house of Braganza have died two at a time since 1640, when the Braganzas came to the throne of Portugal. It is a matter of history that whenever death has entered the family two have been taken within a few hours or days.

The first death was that of Senator Russell A. Alger of Michigan. Then the venerable and beloved senators from Alabama, the Damon and Pythias of that body, Morgan and Pettus, both of whom had passed the age of eighty years, suddenly went to their graves in the recess of congress preceding the present session. Senator Mallory of Florida was the next to go, dying in the Christmas recess of this session. His death was followed only a few weeks ago by the unexpected demise of Senator Latimer of South Carolina, who succumbed comparatively early in life to a combination of stomach trouble and an operation for appendicitis, which was found to have been unnecessary. Then Senator Redford Proctor of Vermont passed away, to be soon followed by Senator William Pinkney Whyte of Maryland. Senate Has Its Superstitions. Washingtonians hold fast to certain well defined superstitions regarding deaths in the senate. Thus it was that when Senator W. J. Bryan, the youthful successor of Mallory, took his seat and the two new senators from Oklahoma had been sworn in and George Peabody Wetmore was finally chosen to succeed himself, thereby completing a full membership of the senate for the first time in many years, the veterans of the senate chamber began to whisper among themselves. "Who will be the first to die?" That there is a tradition of the senate that a full senate means an early death of a senator can be readily confirmed by the curious, but it would not be an easy matter to find out when and where this grewsome tradition arose. Senator Latimer, who died soon after this tradition began to be whispered about, was one of the men in the senate whose deaths were the least expected. Deaths In Congress. There is another common superstition about deaths in congress which usually verifies itself, and that is that not fewer than three members of each congress die before their terms expire. Already this number has been exceeded in the Sixtieth congress, although the Sixtieth congress is now only four months old. Technically Senators Morgan and Pettus should be added to the list because they were, until they died, entitled to sit in a special session of the Sixtieth congress, which really began its existence March 4 last. As no special session was held, however, although the members draw their salaries from March 4, the congress has sat only since the first Monday in last December. President Roosevelt's Portrait. For some time past President Roosevelt has slipped away from his many duties at the White House to give half an hour's sitting for a three-quarter length portrait, which is being painted by P. A. Laszlo, a noted Hungarian artist, who has an international reputation and who has painted portraits of many of the crowned heads of Europe. Among the monarchs he painted was the late King Carlos of Portugal. It was the last portrait for which King Carlos sat and was painted two years ago in Paris. Mr. Laszlo's commission to paint the president was undertaken at the request of Captain Arthur Lee of England, who was former secretary of the British embassy in Washington. Captain Lee served with President Roosevelt in Cuba, and the portrait which Mr. Laszlo is engaged on will depict Colonel Roosevelt in rough rider uniform, with whip and gloves in hand. Invited to Firemen's Convention Invited to Firemen's Convention. Abut six years ago President Roosevelt was made an honorary member of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen when he attended the annual convention of that organization in Chattanooga. Nearly every year since he has been invited to attend the conventions. An invitation was extended him the other day by J. J. Hanrahan, grand master of the organization, who said that the annual convention will be held this year in September in Columbus, O. The president repeated what he has so often said to others—that he will not accept any more invitations this year. To Mark Soldiers' Graves 10 Mark Soldiers Graves. Representative Porter of New York, at the request of the Niagara Frontier Landmarks association, has introduced a bill providing for the erection of a monument to the officers and enlisted men who fell at the siege of Fort Erie in 1814. It is proposed to erect the monument at Fort Erie, on Canadian soil, and the question is whether the United States could do this. There is no precedent in congress for such a procedure, but it is thought likely that the consent of the Canadian government could be secured for the erection of the monument. Loeb Holds Secretarial Record. Secretary Loeb remarked to one of his visitors recently that he had been in the office of secretary to the president longer than any one of his predecessors. Secretary Cortelyou served under two presidents, but he did not become secretary to Mr. McKinley until 1900, and he resigned the office in 1903 to become secretary of commerce and labq. His term of office was therefore less than three years, the date of his appointment in the cabinet being Feb. 18, 1903. It was on the same day that Mr. Loeb was sworn in as secretary to the president, although he had been in the White House offices since September, 1901, as assistant secretary. Nearly all the other presidents' secretaries have served four years or less, but Mr. Loeb passed the five year mark on the 18th of last month. An Economical Gown. A suggestion is here given for a charming gown to be made out of one of the new dainty batiste robes which appear in such lovely colors in the shops now. This is a pale blue embroidered robe, finished in scallops. The skirt has the strips of embroidery edging used to form panels by extending lengthwise into the skirt band. The blouse has the embroidery formed into a cape or fichu-like piece gathered A A DAINTY BATISTE ROBE. at the waist into a buckle. The underwaist and sleeves are of tucked net. Black velvet ribbon outlines the embroidered edge, this in turn finished with tiny valenciennes edge. Narrow black velvet ribbon bands the sleeves. The cost of such robes is $7.50, with velvet and net. It should easily come within a cost of $10 when finished. Variety In Linens. The linens now come in so many different weights and of so many different makes that it is quite possible to buy a linen at this season that can be worn from the very minute it is made. There are linen styles to suit early spring as well as linen styles for late midsummer. And one of the best importers is showing tailor made linens in deep blues that are to be put on now and worn, or at least that can be worn, in a very few days. Handsome Linen Gown. A handsome linen intended for very early wear is of Copenhagen blue. It is very heavy, and to make it more seasonable it is trimmed with black velvet. There is a collar of velvet, a plain narrow turnover band, and there are flare velvet cuffs turning back from the three-quarter sleeves. The style, which is that of coat and skirt, is rather full in its line. Slim Frock Effects. The handsomest of the princess dresses have a wide band of trimming extending all the way down the front, and there are embroidered fronts all in one piece reaching from the gulpe to the hem of the gown. This long straight front panel gives a woman height, and, if the lines are good, the panel makes her appear slimmer and more statuesque. Boot Must Match Gown. The necessary item of shoes is a thing not to be reckoned with easily. That the boot must match the gown is now a style which is unquestioned, but the matter of purchasing the cloth and having it made up into boots is so expensive that one hesitates at the outlay. Fortunately boots now come ready made with tops that match many materials. A Lewis Model The spring hats are charming, and the illustration shows a Lewis model of good style. The shape is novel in A outline, showing a straight high crown, succeeded by a rather narrow brim turned up at the sides, and is made of fancy straw braid in tapestry blue. Tucks Are Popular This Season. Flat inch or half inch tucks are seen in many ways this season. A blouse of cream lawn is one mass of these flat inch wide tucks, the shoulders and sleeves made in one piece and the yoke of white not embroidered with flowers in mold thread.

HUMOR OF THE HOUR "Fine day," observed the sallow passenger with the eyeglasses. "Huh?" "I say it's a fine day." "Oh, yes," answered the man, who was trying to read a newspaper. "Be a lot of trouble with the fruit, though, when the cold weather comes along next month." "It's all right, though, I guess. What ever happens is right." "Yes, Playing billiards, you know." "Uh-huh." "I don't know anything about billiards myself, but I am told it's a fine game." "So?" "Yes, but I'd rather see a good game of baseball. Wouldn't you?" "Uh-huh."

Furbush of West Newton, Mass., has presented to the navy department for the Naval academy at Annapolis a valuable historical painting by Thomas Birch of the "Battle-Between the Constitution and the Guerriere." Birch was an artist of a century ago and was one of the first designers of United States coins at the Philadelphia mint. He painted his naval battle picture in 1828. Emperor William, who is no mean judge of works of art, has pronounced a painting owned by J. Pierpont Morgan now on exhibition at Berlin the finest among forty masterpieces of English artists. The picture, which is a portrait of Miss Elizabeth Farren, who was the Countess of Derby many years ago and is by Sir Thomas Lawrence, was among the great-paintings in the collection of Mr. Morgan at London. A plan is on foot to conserve the waters that supply the Yosemite and Bridal Vell falls so that each will flow three months more a year than at present. These falls usually go dry about August. By building reservoirs in the headwaters of Bridal Vell and Yosemite creeks it is believed that sufficient water can be stored to maintain the flow over the falls until late in October. A preliminary survey indicates that the project is feasible. There is a persistent rumor of an engagement between the Princess Patricia of Connaught and the Count of Turin. The Princess Patricia is the daughter of King Edward's only living brother, and it is said that she might have been queen of Spain had she desired so doubtful an honor. The Count of Turin is the son of the Duke of Aosta, who was once king of Spain, but who abdicated, dying about fifteen years ago. The Count of Turin is also first cousin to the king of Italy. Florence Lister-Kaye has become a Roman Catholic in order to marry Captain Vaughan, a nephew of Rev. Bernard Vaughan, the famous priest. Her conversion has so angered her father, Sir Cecil Lister-Kaye, and her mother, Lady Beatrice Adeline, the Duke of Newcastle's sister, that they have disowned her. But her aunt, herself a convert to Roman Catholicism, has taken up the young woman, who is in her twenty-third year. Miss Lister-Kaye in a piece of the dowager Duchess of Manchester.
