Steward Arouses Colonel's lre by Putting Colored Couple at his Table on Boat to Eat. VOL. XVII. COMEDY On the Hudson. Col. Andrew Louisiana, Principal Funmaker Colonel's lre by Putting O Table on Boat Newburgh, N. Y. Aug. 30.—The citizens of Newburg and vicinity are not through talking about the ludicrous antics of a Col. Andrew Jackson Caldwell, who refers to himself as a "Southern gentleman of Red River Parish, La," who was the chief funmaker in a scene on the steamship Hendrick Hudson, of the Hudson River Day Line, one day last week. On the same boat were Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Edward Claypool, colored, who were on a honeymoon. The comedy scenes were not enacted until the newly-wedded pair, becoming hungry, went to the diningroom to get something to eat. The colonel was already within and was attacking an ear of corn aggressively when the chief steward of the steamer assigned Mr. and Mrs. Claypool to the same table with "the Southern gentleman of Red River Parish, La." When the honeymooners sat down the colonel emitted a yell which startled the diners and brought forth all the waiters on the scene. He jumped up from the table as if something had exploded under him, and with the ear of corn in one hand and his mouth very greasy, and a napkin tucked under his chin, he demanded why he was put at the same table with two "Yankee niggers." The steward sought to soothe the colonel's wounded feelings, explaining that customs were different in Louisiana and New York, but he would not listen to such talk and left the diningroom carrying his ear of corn. He appeared on the upper deck in an angry mood, and when he told a bystander of the "great insult" that had been heaped upon a Southerner of his standing, he was informed that the seating of Negroes in a dining-room with whites was nothing unusual and that it was the custom in the North. This statement made the colonel worse, and he declared that never again would he set foot north of the Mason and Dixon line. He declared that he was surprised and mortified to think that the people of the North were lacking in civilization. Clarence Edward Claypool was born in Boston and is a college graduate: He has been employed as a pullman porter on the Boston --- SCENE and Maine Railroad. His bride formerly lived at West Fifty-third street and Eigth avenue. The couple appeared amused at the antics of the colonel. Speaking of the incident, the Newburgh Daily News, said to be the largest daily in the Hudson Valley, says under the caption "The Conduct of a Southern 'Gentleman'": Story in the News last evening told of one Colonel Andrew Jackson, a self-styled "Southern gentleman," who became exceedingly wroth because one of the stewards of the Hendrick Hudson of the Hudson River Day Line inadvertently placed a colored man and woman at the same table with him. The colored people were evidently respectable persons—the man a college graduate and Pullman car employee, the woman one of the higher type of Negro girls who are the product of institutions like Tuskegee. They were entirely innocent of any offence. They had paid their way as far as they had gone, and it was not their fault that the steward made a mistake and placed them at the table with a "gentleman." But how did the "gentleman" conduct himself? Did he act with the customary tact and unostentation which we have been led to suppose "gentlemen" usually exercise under similar circumstances? Did he call the steward quietly aside and inform him that for reasons best known to himself he desired to have a place at another table? He did not. Instead he got very red in the face and announced himself as follows: "Here, nigger, what do you mean by putting these niggers at this table? Do you think that Southern gentleman would so far forget himself as to eat at the same table with two darned Yankee niggers?" Then Colonel Andrew Jackson Caldwell arose from the table and stormed out of the dining room carrying in his hand an ear of corn which he had been munching when the interruption came. His feelings were lacerated beyond repair and he made "no bones" about telling everybody on the boat of the fact. It is not recorded that the colored man either became enraged State Hist & Nat Hist society State House ADC THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO or insulted. He did not even feel for his razor, as colored men are sometimes supposed to do on such occasions. He held his feelings in check and conducted himself in a very proper manner. As for Colonel Andrew Jackson Caldwell, we are glad that he announced the fact he was a "gentleman," for from his actions certainly no one would ever have known it and a grievous mistake might have been made. He vows that he will never come north of Mason and Dixon line again. That is too bad. However, we must do the best we can to bear up under such a dire calamity and struggle along without him. ALBUOUEROUE NEWS Rev. J. W. Rodgers has returned from Denver, where he went as a delegate from New Mexico, to the National Negro Educational Congress. Mrs. Robert Burton has returned after a pleasant trip to Colorado Springs. J. W. Jackson, known as "Uncle Jack" and an old citizen of this city, died at the hospital last week. He was 80 years old and a soldier in the Civil war. The funeral took place from Crolett Undertaking Parlors, Rev. M. Jones, officiating. Mr. C. H. Roberts and Miss Valley Slaughter of Santa Fe were quietly joined in the holy bonds of matrimony, Wednesday afternoon of last week, at the residence of Miss Francis Ellsworth, in the presence of a few invited friends. Rev. J. W. Rodgers officiating. Mr. Roberts is quite popular among his friends and his wife bears the distinction of being the first colored student to graduate and receive a diploma from the Santa Fe high school. She is also an accomplished musician. A host of friends join in wishing the newly wedded couple a happy future. Mrs. Martha Harrison died last week of consumption after a lingering illness of several months. Our city is beseiged with a horde of grasshoppers. Our oldest inhabitants do not remember nor can they give any account of such conditions before, where these insects came from or where they are traveling, no one seems to know but we trust that they will soon be on their way. Statehood has really come to New Mexico after sixty years of faithful efforts. We have it but what shall we do with it, who can answer? The Negro is in such a small minority that it is not up to him to answer, but his legal and political status causes him to feel TOMPKINS DINING HALL, TUSKEGEE INSTITUE, ALABAMA. In this building 1,700 students during the school term take their meals three times daily. It is the largest dining hall for colored students anywhere in the world. The building also contains an assembly room with a seating capacity of 2,500, a teachers' dining room with accomodations for 200, kitchens, and a large bakery which supplies the needs of the school and of the Institute community. The tables in the dining hall are neatly arranged and decorated with flowers, and it is a most interesting sight to see the whole student body at a meal. The next session of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute opens Tuesday, September 12th. a little uneasy, but we trust that our fear is not well founded. We are in hopes that the dominate political factions will permit the Negro to assist them to participate in building up one of the strongest and best states in the Union, where we can all sing without mental restraint, "My Country 'tis Of Thee, Sweet Land of Liberty." "The New Age" is the name of a colored weekly which gave birth in the city two weeks ago. The first copy looks commendable, we trust for it a success. The publishers are O. Hudson, Rev. G. H. Byas, E. T. Ellsworth, H. Bramlett and J. B. Lott. Northport, N. Y., August 29. Reed Paige Clark, the new Receiver General and Custom Adviser appointed by President Taft for Liberia, spent a day this week in consultation with Booker T. Washington regarding Liberian matters. Mr. Clark is much interested in his new work and wants to get all the information he can that will enable him to do the best work when he goes to Liberia. For the past few years the Lutherans have made great efforts to win colored converts and they now have thirty-one colored congregations in the country. Most of the churches are led by colored pastors, and in order to train the colored young men in the Lutheran ministry two colleges have been founded and are doing a successful work. One of these is The Luther College at New Orleans, where there are twenty-seven students. A larger college, Concordia, at Queensboro, N. C., has 105 students registered. RACE NEWS Philadelphia, -Rev. E. W. Moore pastor of the Zion Baptist Church delivered a powerful address Monday evening at the Twelfth Street Baptist church, Boston, Mass. His subject was the "Coatesville Lynching." Dr. Moore visited Coatesville and saw persons selling the bones of Zack Walker, as souvenirs. His address was convincing and unusually interesting and he was repeatedly interrupted by applause. At the conclusion of his address he was heartily congratulated. Little Rock, Ark., Aug. 26 — The National Negro Bankers' Association held a good meeting here during the past week. Representatives were present from most of the strong banks controlled by the race. There were very few presidents of Negro banks absent. All regretted that such as John Mitchell, Jr., could not see their way clear to identify themselves with the Negro bankers. Members present declared that they could not understand why presidents of Negro banks, who get all of their deposits from Colored people, prefer to attend the white bankers' association and turn a cold shoulder to the National Negro Bankers, Association. Washington, August 29. —The War Department has proclaimed NO 52 two Negro soldiers as heroes by awarding them certificates of merit for courageous conduct. They are privates Levi Anderson and John R. Lyons, Troop D, Tenth Cavalry, who, according to a statement issued by the Department, "risked their lives in going to the rescue of a drowning companion after the latter had sunk in fifteen feet of water." This certificate, which is authority by Congress, ranks next to a medal of honor and carries with it a bronze badge designed by Saint Gaudens. It also brings to the holper $2 per month extra pay. For the first time in many years the Democrats are in control of the House of Representatives at Washington. Soon after getting control of the House of Representatives they proceeded to turn out every Negro who held any responsible or respectable position. Not content with this, a few days before Congress adjourned the Democrats provided that hereafter there must be separate provisions made for colored people who dine in the House restaurant or dining room. In the face of such actions and insults as these, there are still left in the country, we are sorry to say, some colored men who seem to prefer the Democratic party to the Republican party.—New York Age. THE WORLD IN PARAGRAPHS A BRIEF RECORD OF PASSING EVENTS IN THIS AND FOR- EIGN COUNTRIES. IN LATE DISPATCHES DOINGS AND HAPPENINGS THAT MARK THE PROGRESS OF THE AGE.

An ancient city has been dug up in western Texas, at Alpine, a small town in Brewster county, showing that an earthquake or some cataclysm buried a city of quite a large population. A male flirt decoy to arrest women who ogle men is wanted by the Denver Fire and Police Board. This is going Los Angeles one better, the California city recently having appointed a woman to catch mashers. The Standard Oil Company of New Jersey, the corporation which has been the storm center of anti-trust agitation throughout the country for years, has passed out of existence so far as its present form and functions are concerned. Justice Chesbrough of Los Angeles issued a warrant for General Harrison Gray Otis, editor of the Los Angeles Times, charging him with publishing obscene articles in that newspaper. Warrants were also issued for Harry Andrews, managing editor of the Times. Revenge for playmates who considered her too "stuck up" is believed to have been the motive which led vandals to snip from the head of Barbara Weaver, fifteen years old, of Oklahoma City, two beautiful braids of silken auburn hair. When Miss Weave or awoke the braids lay on the floor On the Washita river, eight miles west of Chickasha, Okla., 300 members of the Caddo, Delaware and Wichita tribe of Indians are holding their annual green corn dance.

WASHINGTON. It is unequivocally denied that the United States contemplates selling any of its warships to Turkey. The new battleship authorized by the last navy act will be of 28,500 tons displacement, the biggest in the world. It has developed by the investigation by the Interstate Commerce Commission of the Lehigh Valley railroad wreck near Manchester, N. Y., in which more than thirty persons were killed, that the government is powerless to prosecute the road. Suggestions by sentimentalists that the next session of Congress should be urged to appropriate a sufficient sum to keep the wreckage of the battleship Maine intact as a lasting monument to the 260 men who lost their lives in the disaster which resulted in war between the United States and Spain, find no support in the navy. A new six-pounder gun, equipped with specially adapted high explosive projectiles and shrapnel shells to demolish aeroplanes and balloons in battle, has been perfected by the United States army.

Plerpont Morgan of a valuable ring and a series of gigantic swindles operated by government employees and outsiders, which have already cost importers several hundred thousand dollars. President Markham of the Illinois Central railroad ended hopes of an immediate settlement of the labor difficulties of the road by directing a letter to W. F. Kramer, secretary of the International Blacksmiths' union, refusing to meet representatives of the federated shop employees, as he had been requested. Following a quarrel over a business transaction, Pleas Southern, a young farmer living at Stony Fork, Ky., near Middlesboro, fired six shots into the body of his father, Dave Southern, killing him instantly.

In addition to these shipments, Oldland & Hulett and other large ranchers are getting together big herds. The most of this beef will go to Denver. Attorney General's Ruling. La Junta.—When it passed a law dividing Otero county into two counties, the Legislature accomplished several things. Among these was the division of a school district into two parts. The school house remained in Otero county, but a large part of the district was placed in the new. The Crowley county people were told that they were without a school house, as the residents of Otero claimed that the building became their exclusive property when the bill went into effect. The attorney general was appealed to by the schoolless ones and in an opinion prepared yesterday, Deputy Attorney General Lee holds that a school district is a body corporate and that the division of the county does not necessarily mean a division of the school district.

Major Moton was one of the principal speakers at the Universal Races congress, held in London at the University of London From July 26 to 29. He and Mrs. Moton sailed for America at the close of the congress from Glasgow, Scot- land, on the steamer Saturnia, landing in Montreal. Major Moton has nothing but praise for the Universal Races congress, and predicts that the convention should have a good effect on the peo- ple of all races. He says that the true position and condition of the negro of America should be more thoroughly understood. ‘Two members of the congress who greatly pleased Major Moton by mak- ing conservative and optimistic ad- dresses were W. E. D. Du Bois and John E. Mulholland. Judging from Major Moton’s complimentary refer- ence to Messrs Du Bois and Mulhol- land, the stand taken by them was entirely different from that of a few months ago when they made an ap- peal to England to interefere and pro- test against the discrimination of the negro in America. “Professor Du Bois stated the case fot the American negro in a clear, forceful manner as anyone would want,” said Major Moton to an Age representative. “He did not sound a pessimistic note and was as conserva- tive throughout his talk. Mr, Mulhol- land was equally as hopeful of the race's future in this country, and while conscious of the disadvantages and difficulties under which the ne- gro in America labors, he expressed the belief that America would sooner or later give the negro all of his rights and privileges and settle its own problem at home.” Mr. Mulholland entertained the dele- gates to the congress at a reception given at his London home which was attended by Major Moton and Mrs. Moton. Mrs. Black, an American, the Countess Warwick and Lord Waredale also entertained the dele- gutes. Major Moton, who has been com- mandant and executive officer at Hampton for over twenty years, while in London discussed the future of the negro in America as follows: “There is much that is discouraging Jin the situation in) Amerios, and. al though there is still a prejudice be- tween black and white, the situation to me was never more hopeful than it is today. The negroes are growing to have more faith in themselves, and naturally more respect for them- selves, and they are obtaining more ‘and more the respect of other races. In the educational institutes, where such men as Booker T. Washington, Doctor Du Bois and Kelly Miller are working in absolute harmony, as un- doubtedly they will, I do not think anyone need feel hopeless about the ultimate adjustment of our race dif- ferences in America. | “We are just passing through the most acute period of race feeling in | America. Among southern educated men there is a strong section who are taking a keen interest in the negro question, from its scientific and econ- omic point of view. For instance, I am secretary to a board of trustees, who have in hand a million dollars of money to be distributed among rural schools for negroes. President ‘Taft is one of the trustees, and we meet once a year In the cabinet room of the White House to discuss the position. The board is composed of northern and southern white men— Mr. Andrew Carnegie is a member, and so are Mr. Robert Ogden and Dr. Booker T. Washington. The fact that the white men, northern and southern, and the colored men meet ‘the president of the United States at the White House to discuss this: problem shows that the position is hopeful, and to me these meetings are only one of a number of encourag- ing signs of the times.” “] should feel safer,” he said, “in a race riot at Atlanta, Ga., than I would be in New York. There is a strong foreign element in the north, who dif- fer greatly with one another, and that causes a difference with the negroes. “In the south, on the other hand. in case of distress, I could go into a southern man’s house and say to him, ‘I am in trouble; there {s a mob after me,’ and I would be taken in and given shelter without questions asked. ‘That is probably a survival of the old psternal feeling which the Virginian planters entertained towards their slaves, and which impelled them to protect negroes against attacks from outside. The southerners may talk very loudly and harshly on the race problem, but what he says as a Vir- ginian and what he says as a private individual are two very different things. to uvery white citizen of the United States. “I think that both factions in the negro population are entirely honest in their opinions, and my hope is that eventually the two will come together and will work to the common good of humanity, I believe that the bet- ter elements in the north and in the south are really anxious that the negro should have absolute Justice and should be treated as a good citl- zen.” THE SMALLEST EVER. At the store in Snow Hill, a little town in Missouri, the loungers were recounting thelr narrow — escapes. Uncle “Milt” ‘lowed the had had one that beat any so far related. “You boys all remember the hollow sycamore down here by the creek,” he began; “well, I came all fired near get: ting trapped in the lim’ of that tree the other day. I was coming back from a hunt, over on Sugar creek, and Just as I got to this old tree it began to rain.

I had about concluded that I was done for, when I happened to think of the time when I yoted the Republican ticket, about six years ago, and I just nacherly swiveled up ‘ttl I crawled out of that knot-hole and got away.”"— National Monthly. THE WATER WAS SANITARY. “Walter!” roared the diner. The waiter looked intently out of ‘the window, pretending he hadn't heard. The diner had already com- plained of his chop and his chips and his napkin, and Alphonse had had about enough of him. “Walter!” Reluctantly Alphonse moved over. “Just look at the color of the water, waiter,” growled the diner. “It's not fit to drink.” Critically the waiter raised the glass to the light and examined it. Then triumphantly he set it down again. “No, sir; you're deceiving yourself, sir,” he said, kindly. “That water's perfectly all right, sir. It’s the glass what's dirty!”—Philadelphia Times. THE REAL MYSTERY. A fox was once seen to take a bunch of moss in his mouth and swim out, into the river, where, after sink ing himself to the very point of his nose in the water, he let go of the moss and came ashore, says Puck. “No doubt,” remarked the well-read by-stander, “you did that to rid your- self of fleas, which were.driven by tho water to seek refuge in the moss.” ‘The fox glanced furtively and slink ingly about and around. “Hist!” he whispered, with a sly wink. “I did it to make some people think that was what I did it for!” Moral: There 1s no greater mystery than motive, take it up one side and down the other. WHAT THE COOK WAS DOING. While a certain Richmond famtl, were in Burope the dusky housemat acted as caretaker, and more that once she received in the dining room an admirer in the person of one Henr} Morgan, cab driver. One evening, as the maid and thi Jehu were making merry, there cam from the kitchen a painful scratchins sound. 3 “What's dat nolse in de kitchen” demanded the maid's admirer. “Mus be a dawg tryin’ to git in.” “Don't yo’ worry,” answered thi maid; “dat ain't no dawg a-scratchin at de do’.

Success?” asked the agent of the mer chant to whom he had sold a “sys tem” a few days before. “Great!” said the merchant. “Good!” said the agent, rubbing hit hands. “And how is business?” “Business?” echoed the merchant ‘Oh, we have stopped business to at tend to the filing system.”—Every body's. SOME FEET. ‘Two old farmers were seated in the parlor telling of their experfences in life. Talkin’ of long feet, I seen some other day that both together made a yard,” said the younger of the two. “Humph!” replied the other. “I once saw a man whose feet were so long that he had to back up to the door to knock."—Mack’s Monthly.

DEMOCRATIC PROSPECTS full of hope for an outcome acceptable to them and their party. In way that the national house, with a substantial working majority ended, they have tried hard to place the country at large. The age of the Canadian recolproc by a Republican president and they hastily proposed general to create a debatable issue where the elections to be held during that country is desirous of seriously reduce the cost of life of corporate monopolies, and such reductions upon a basic rent tariff commission. The nation is therefore the real issue democrats and Republicans, and sent Taft's vetoes of bills of special conditions and particularly history in many sections of the largely upon their power to intellectual revolution regardless of through Republican resources tariff commission's report will be placed before the Democrats' provisions of be forced into the two parties of tariff or free democratic opportunity has so their presidential candidate appear, seem to favor Government of Princeton University, feel some desire to know how to their party's choice, for price in the next presidential of Goodrow Wilson has been Gov. single colored man to office. The messenger who had long filled announced that he did so only did not because of political intention was born in Georgia and under President Wilson, did not and Yale makes no distinction, strategic prospects when colored in DATE of the Democratic party. DEMOCRATS are full of hope for an outcome of the next presidential election entirely favorable to them and their party. The last general elections ran so much their way that the national house of representatives was turned over to them with a substantial working majority, and in the special session of Congress just ended, they have tried hard to so shape legislation as to gain the confidence of the country at large. They claim a large share of credit for the passage of the Canadian reciprocity agreement, originally proposed and backed by a Republican president and sanctioned by a Republican Senate. Then they hastily proposed general tariff reduction by bills whose chief object was to create a debatable issue with which they could go before the country in the elections to be held during the coming two years. IT is conceived that the country is desirous of tariff reduction, in the belief that it will materially reduce the cost of living and cure many ills evidently arising out of corporate monopolies, and the Republican party itself stands pledged to such reductions upon a basis to be scientifically determined by a competent tariff commission. The usefulness and responsibility of this commission is therefore the real issue upon the tariff at the present time between Democrats and Republicans, and formed the consistent formal basis for President Taft's vetoes of bills of Democratic origin. HOWEVER, industrial conditions and particularly labor relations, are so strained and unsatisfactory in many sections of the country that the Democrats propose to rely largely upon their power to increase discontent, hoping thereby to bring on political revolution regardless of the promise or prospect of industrial remedies through Republican resources. In the Congress next winter, however, the tariff commission's report will be made and legislation based thereon will be placed before the Democrats, who must either substantially accept its provisions of be forced into the open on the fundamental issue between the two parties of tariff or free trade. THE shadow of Democratic opportunity has so aroused Bourbon hopes that the question of their presidential candidate appears nearly settled, for most Democrats, at present, seem to favor Government Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey, ex-president of Princeton University. As opinion begins to center about him, we feel some desire to know how colored Democrats, so called, are going to take to their party's choice, for the votes of colored men are going to cut some ice in the next presidential election. Colored Jerseymen say that since Woodrow Wilson has been Governor of New Jersey he has not appointed a single colored man to office. Upon strong urging, he retained the colored messenger who had long filled that position in the Governor's office, but announced that he did so only because he is a "good, polite colored man," and not because of political influence. GOVERNOR WILSON was born in Georgia and reared in Virginia. Princeton University, under President Wilson, did not admit colored students, although Harvard and Yale makes no distinction. These facts must be counted among Democratic prospects when colored men are considering THE PROSPECTIVE CANDIDATE of the Democratic party. LOVE YOUR ENEMIES that the Christian edict reeperpetrate all manner of evils possible; that it is a pretty bion which is yet a long way othom in the exhortation, as theents of its source, and altho sting of the enemy's last, m the masses, for whom he suffits that come to men comemies, who seek to hurt and ountement exorcises for self SOME folks think that the Christian edict requiring us to love those who persecute us and perpetrate all manner of evil against us, is not only unreasonable, but impossible; that it is a pretty but impracticable conception of a human condition which is yet a long way off. But there is a great deal of plain, hard wisdom in the exhortation, as there is in all other exhortations and commandments of its source, and although the individual, who suffers most under the sting of the enemy's last, may be blind to the logic of love and atonement, the masses, for whom he suffers may better study the conditions. The greatest benefits that come to men come through hardships and persecutions. Our enemies, who seek to hurt and baffle and, perhaps, destroy us, drive us to our utmost exertions for self-protection, and acquaint us with inherent powers and possibilities of which we did not dream. Besides they marshall to our aid all true lovers of justice. It is this combination of righteous elements which results in material and social progress. To love one's enemies is not to love his deeds, but to pity his self-sacrificing errors and to value the ultimate results and benefits arising out of them. One of the most natural frailties of human nature is the desire to be unmolested. Whether doing well or ill, or if in a state of entire inaction, we are inclined to be best satisfied when nobody interferes with our plans or disturbs our placid content. But in a world of activities and an era of competition, people grow stale, inert and helpless, when they meet no opposing forces to arouse their strenuous energies, or face no grievous dangers that threaten their welfare and peace. If the Negro's progress in America were not opposed by his enemies, he would make poorer and slower progress than he is now making. If he were helped regardless of his promised worth or apparent shiftlessness, he would remain an indefinite burden. But the assaults of those who charge him with permanent inferiority arouse him to action. The hatred of those who fear his competition and advancement spurs him in his desire to reach a plane where such unjust hatred will no longer be tolerated. And so the enemy rule of unjust opposition works out its retributive results. The lynching mob, the acme of the white man's hatred of another race, embraces so many dangers to the white man's own power and worthiness as an author and administrator of law, and is breeding such strength of righteous contempt in the Negro that it is already beginning to evolve its own remedy and insure its own punishment. Hatred, the enemy's chief weapon, is an unfailling sign of weakness, and through it, soon or late, its author must suffer. So let us learn to pity those who by their own weakness teach us the value of the virtues of life, and because of their own losses and our gains, will deserve our pity and our love. Her Duty Is Merely to Take Care of House OTHERS will come gradually to recognize the new requirements of the home, and when they cater for it will learn to go oftener to the newspaper and more seldom to the butcher. The first fact to be grasped is that each home must not stand alone, but that it must unite with neighboring hands so as to obtain without effort the best results of civilization. Once the material side of life is dominated there will be leisure for the mental and the spiritual to assume their rightful place. The home will feel its dependence on the greater whole, it will become more responsive to every wave of public feeling, more alive to every movement of the great public. A Greek philosopher has advised that "If any man has two loaves, let him sell one and buy lilies, for the soul has its needs as well as the body." This is the kind of catering for the housewives of the future to collect the flowers of heart and mind and soul to deck the board, so that the breadwinner, worn with the toils of the day, will find more refreshment than in the present monotony of mutton. What elements in the home as it exists today can be dispensed with? The departments sentenced to disappear are so many that it might be well to consider how much of the home would be left should these changes be carried out. The basement would be gone with its scullery, its coal cellar and its dust bin. The servants' hall would disappear, and, greatest change of all, the troops of servants would be gone. Upstairs the dining room would be gone, and the drawing room also. All the spare bedrooms would be gone, and most of the servants' bedrooms. What, then, would remain. Father's sitting room would be left. Mother's sitting room would be left. And, best of all, the children would remain, taking their right place in the house, the first place, each with a private room always well warmed and lighted, and designed for rest, meditation or private work, places where young minds would have that space, leisure and solitude which induce true growth. The housewife would be a housewife no longer. After all, it is the man who wants a wife, not the house, and the children need a wise mother more than a housewife. It is the greedy home that has taken her from them and given them only the tired dregs of her mind instead of its best work. Obviously some specialist instructors are necessary.

If intercollegiate athletics interfere seriously with the college work of the students who take part in or watch them, it is reasonable and proper that the college authorities should try to have these contests as few as possible. Whether there is such a conflict is, it seems to me, a matter of fact, the determination of which can safely be left, in the case of Harvard at least, to the athletic committee, a body made up of three members of the faculty, three graduates and three undergraduates.

Forms of sport which take the most time are not necessarily the most objectionable.

Special examinations are held in New London for the benefit of the members of the crew and by arrangement with the faculty. I have never heard any adverse criticism of this custom.

John D. Merrill Would Place Tax on All Cats Too By M. I. JONAS Baltimore, Md. This agitation about having country dogs taxed and muzzled would be funny if the proposition were not so silly. Dogs are as necessary to householders in the country as policemen are to the city, and often they are more valuable in that they in nine times out of ten prevent crimes while the policeman has to hunt the offender after the commission of the crime I have four dogs at my home in the country. They are not permitted to run at large and I know a number of instances where they have given warnings when chicken thieves were on their rounds. They are a safeguard and a protection, and to place a tax on them would be an injustice. Why not put a tax on cats, weasels, owls and other varmints who d harm in our chicken yards?

EDDY, SCOTT M. E. CHURCH NOTES. Dr. R. A. Randolph preached a soul-stirring sermon last Sunday morning. A grand result was seen and felt in this heart-searching sermon. One young man was gloriously converted and added to the church. The Rev. J. D. Rice preached in the evening to a very appreciative audience. Brother Rice is every ready to serve his church when an opportunity presents itself. Through the pastorate and leadership of the Rev. H. R.

With the opening of our public schools comes the glorious opportunity of the thousands of little fellows to pursue their intellectual training. That the public schools are a blessing cannot be gainsaid. Without them many a son or daughter would probably now be in ignorance, and thus be cut short of a chance to make life one long success. In Denver we have a public school system of which we can proudly boast. Its equipment and facilities are unsurpassed by that of any city of its size. We trust that among its vast attendance may be a creditable representation of our race. NOTES OF THE PEOPLE'S PRES- BYTERIAN CHURCH.

FRANK HALL. RESOLUTIONS Whereas on Tuesday, August 29th, 1911 our Father in Heaven saw fit to summons home our beloved pastor and leader, we the officers and members of the Central Baptist Sunday school do grasp this oppoortunity to pay our last brief tribute of respect to this, our departed friend. We know that eulogies of this nature cannot repair the great loss we now sustain or restore to us our beloved and departed friend. Yet our expression of heartfelt sympathy is not inconsistent without grief. In the death of Dr. A. E. Edwards we have lost a successful pastor and a courageous and fearless general, whose vacancy requires strenuous and pains taking efforts to fill. But our affliction is God's will. He has called him but not wholly, for his success here among us as our leader, will even stand as a monument in our memory. Death is but the path that must be trod, if man would ever pass to God. Every ceremony with reference to the dead is but a lesson to the living. A little time and we, his sheep, one by one shall follow him, as Pilgrims through the gate of fear which opens on eternity. Farewell—Alone unto our Father's will. One thought, hath reconciled. That he whose love exceedeth all. Hath taken home his child. And over in the beautiful land by the river, its sweet consolation to feel that among that beloved and blessed host he will greet us. Be it therefore resolved, That we extend to the bereaved family our sincere regrets and sympathy and that copies of these condolences be forwarded to the three colored papers of the city and to the National Baptist convention.

MOVING TO THE CITIES NEGROES ARE RAPIDLY LEAVING THE COUNTRY ACCORDING TO CENSUS REPORT. Washington.—Preliminary statistics showing the consistent and constant cityward movement of the white and negro population of the nine southern cotton states, based upon the returns for the censuses of 1910, 1900 and 1890 are contained in a comparative statement prepared under the supervision of Mr. William C. Hunt, chief statistician for population, in the bureau of the census, and issued by Acting Census Director Falkner. The figures are preliminary and subject to necessary revision later, but it is believed that there will be no material change in the percentages stated. The nine cotton states concerned are Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee. Of the white people of these states 18.9 per cent. lived in urban areas in 1910, 14 per cent. in 1900, and 11.6 per cent. in 1890. Of the total negro population of the same states the percentages living in urban areas were 17.7 per cent. in 1910, 14.7 per cent. in 1900, and 11.8 per cent. in 1890. It appears from these percentages that the changes in proportion of the total negro population of these states living in the urban sections have been about the same as those in the proportion of the total whites who live in cities. Both white and negro show a decided movement toward the city. From an urban proportion of 11.9 per cent, in 1890 the whites have increased to 18.9 per cent, in 1910. During the same period, the urban proportion of negroes increased from 11.9 per cent, to 17.7 per cent. While the proportion of whites and negroes living in city and country can be readily measured, some care is required in stating the rate of increase. This difficulty arises from the fact that portions of the rural area are continually changing into urban districts. Urban population as defined by the census office, is composed of those groups that live in cities and other incorporated places having at least 2,500 inhabitants. In order to obtain a definite measure of the rate of increase it is necessary that the rate pertain to the same area for each census period. Rates of increase, calculated for the places that were classed as urban or rural in 1890, are as follows: The white population of the 1890 cities increased 27.6 per cent. between 1890 and 1900 and 46.5 per cent. between 1900 and 1910. Similar rates of increase for the urban negroes are 23.3 per cent. in the decade 1890 to 1900 and 30.5 per cent. in the decade 1900-1910. For the rural sections of 1890 the rate of increase for the white population was 18.7 between 1890 and 1900, and 17.3 between 1900 and 1910. The increase of the negroes in the same rural sections was 17.5 between 1890 and 1900 and 8.3 between 1900 and 1910. A comparison of these rates of increase brings out clearly the cityward trend of both races, but shows it to be even greater for whites than for negroes. The rate of increase for the urban whites advanced from 27.6 to 46.6, or a difference of 19 per cent., while the rate for the urban negroes advanced from 23.2 to 30.5, or a difference of 7.2 per cent. The rate of increase in the rural sections was less for both races in the decade ending in 1910 than for that ending in 1900, but the decline in the rate of increase was very much greater for the negroes than for the whites. For the whites the change was from 18.7 per cent, in the first decade to 17.3 in the last ten years, a difference of 1.4 per cent. For the negroes the change was from 17.5 per cent, to 8.3 per cent., a difference of 9.2 per cent. NO CAUSE TO COMPLAIN. "Gee, but I was sick last night!" he groaned. "Effect of the heat?" we inquired, sympathetically. "Must have been—and yet it wasn't so hot as it had been." "Something you ate, maybe?" "Couldn't have been. I wasn't hungry yesterday and I didn't eat much—just a little sweet corn and some cucumbers and a slice of melon. I don't overload my stomach this hot weather, No, and it wasn't anything I drank, either. I leave the booze alone when the mercury is up where it is. All I drank was buttermilk and lemonade, and I had some ice cream the next time I got thirsty. No, sir, I've been careful, and I guess I'll have to see a doctor."—Cleveland Plain Dealer. THE PUZZLED PORTER. A passenger on a New York-Cleveland sleeper, on awakening in the morning, found under his berth one black shoe and one brown one. He called the porter and directed his attention to the error. The porter scratched his woolly head in utter bewilderment. "Well," said the exasperated passenger, "what's the matter?" "Now, if dat don't beat all!" exclaimed the porter. "Dat's de second time d mownin' dat dat mistake's happened."—Metropolitan Magazine. DID HIS BEST.

"Here, George," he said, "go into the next room and look up 'collaborate.' I'm not quite sure about the spelling." The boy disappeared, but did not return. The manager put the letter aside and took up some other duties. Presently he remembered the boy and went out to look for him. He found him studying the big dictionary with great intentness. "What are you doing, George?" he asked. The boy looked round. "I forgot the word you told me, sir," he replied, "an' I'm lookin' through the book to find it." The manager gasped. "How far have you got?" "I'm 'ust finishing the second page, sir."—Cleveland Plain Dealer. ADVERTISING ADAM. Members of congress write the sketches of their lives that appear in the congressional directory, though not many outside of Washington know that. In the present directory Representative Adam Littlepage, of West Virginia, has an autobiography that lays over anything ever printed in that book. They were talking about this in Charleston. "Adam laid it on pretty thick," said one man. "He shouldn't have done that." "Why not?" asked another. "He knew what he was doing. Why, you can't beat him for governor next time. He's already sent out 2,000 copies of that book to show the folks back home what the government thinks of him." —Saturday Evening Post. NOT THE TAILOR'S FAULT. Gov. W. R. Stubbs of Kansas, apropos of a bill he was promoting, said at a recent banquet: "The opponents of this bill find fault with it. Well, in that, they remind me of Jack Hughes. "The tailor brought Jack home a new suit the other day. Jack went upstairs to try it on. Then, ten minutes later, he shouted down to his wife: "'That fool tailor's made a botch out of the vest.' 'How, John?' Mrs. Hughes asked. 'Why', said Jack, 'he's put a button too many at the top and a buttonhole too many at the bottom.'"—Washington Star. A SLIGHT MISTAKE. Oliver Herford once entered a doubtful looking restaurant in a small New York town and ordered a lamb chop. After a long delay the waiter returned, bearing a plate on which reposed a dab of mashed potatoes and a much overdone chop of microscopical proportions, with a remarkably long and slender rib attached. This the waiter set down before him and then hurried away. "See here!" called Herford, "I ordered a chop." "Yes, sir," replied the man, "there it is." "Ah, so it is," mused Herford, peering at it closely. "I thought it was a crack in the plate."—Toledo Blade. MANAGING HUBBY. Wife—I shall need ten dollars today. Husband—Good gracious! I gave you ten dollars yesterday, ten dollars the day before, and ten dollars the day before that. Wife—I need the ten dollars, or I would not ask it. I wish to get a new dress. Husband—Oh! Well, you do need another dress, that's a fact. Here's the money. You can get a dress for ten dollars?" Wife—No; but this ten and the other three tens make forty. Goodby, dear. NO ALLEVIATION Senator Bankhead, in a recent address in Fayette, Ala., said of a bill he disliked: "It seems to offer you some redress and satisfaction; but consider it closely and you'll find that it gives you nothing at all. It is like the remark of the waftress in the cheap boarding house. "Mamie,' a boarder protested to her 'this roast beef is overdone." "No, it ain't, sor,' she replied, 'it's done over. It's the same roast you had yesterday.'"—Los Angeles Times. A GOOD DEFENSE A party of Manila army women were returning in an automobile from a suburban excursion when the driver unfortunately collided with another vehicle. While a policeman was taking down the names of those concerned an "English-speaking" Filipino law student asked one of the ladies how the accident happened. "I'm sure I don't know," she replied. "I was asleep when it occurred." Proud of his knowledge of the Anglo-Saxon tongue, the youth said: "Ah!

Styles in Coiffures FIG.1 FIG.3 FIG.2 IT IS only in recent years that Americans have taken the matter of dressing the hair into such serious consideration, as to call upon history and art for inspiration. But, once awakened to the desirability of variety as well as beauty in coiffures, it was inevitable that American enterprise should ransack the world for ideas and win first place in the number and beauty of the designs produced. Not even the French excel us. For Americans are not satisfied with artifice that is too apparently artifice, however attractive. They must have artifice that is lost sight of in its results. French hair-dressers, brought to this country, have to add to their knowledge of methods, the American "finishing touch," and to learn also to cater to individual taste. They must ring many changes on every style. Once launched a new colfurce taken up with truly American enthusiasm, and alas! before its course is run, is even more than likely to be exaggerated beyond all resemblance to the original beautiful model, and to loose its identity. This stage marks its finish. But the producers of designs, (of whom there are very few) are ready with something new with the recurrence of each spring and fall. And let no woman, however beautiful, neglect to occasionally change the style of her colfurce or forget that her crowning glory has been the admiration of men for ages. The demure and lovely Flemish colfurce came in with the spring and soon became a furore with youthful wearers. Smooth coils of hair arranged across the back of the head and over the ears, and uncovered brow with hair parted in the middle FISCHUS IN ALL MATERIALS Dainty Shoulder Fixings May Be Made at Home With Comparatively Small Outlay. Shoulder fixings which offer the utmost possibilities for home making and much elegance at small cost are the fuschus, which are now being made in every material from dotted muslin to satin and velvet. One of these lovely shoulder deckings was shaped exactly like the fischu mantelle of our granmammas. It was of a thin chiffon silk in a pale violet with embroideries of pale blue. One slip was of violet gauze trimmed with blue, and the other was a little blue batiste affair simply tucked. Tall slim figures, or short ones, are equally glorified by these dainty fischus, which to have the real old fashioned stamp, and, consequently, the new one, must fall in long rounded ends at the front. Shoulders, however, must not be too square, or these little manteleets and draperies lose their charm. The model of the bigger fischu, the one that covers all the shoulders and falls like a cape at the back, with ends in some degree of length, offers a very good notion for the first fall evening wrap for a dressy frock. The fixing in this form is especially adapted to the needs of the young matron, but, as indicated, this very feminine prettiness is most charming with sloping shoulders. Feather Economies. One of the economies which have been adopted in Paris, to some extent, is the imitation ostrich plume of vegetable silk. This is designed to represent not only the ordinary curled feather, but the uncurled "pleureuse" as well. Though it is hardly likely to deceive the most credulous, it is quite effective and costs about one-tenth as much as the real article. Another and even prettier scheme is the ostrich plume which is fashioned of lace of the finest and fillestem description. This, of course, makes no attempt to deceive any one or even to look sufficiently like the original to more than suggest it. Still it is an attractive and pliant invention which provides a pretty trimming for a hat, and for those who cannot afford the costly and almost prohibitive ostrich plume it makes a satisfactory substitute. Ottoman Silks Ottoman silks are having a considerable vogue as a trimming, being especially used for collar facings and revers. The big demand in Paris has been for cream white, deep yellow tan, and coronation red. These three colors have been used in combination with both navy blue and black worsteds and silks. or at one side a few straying curly locks about the face, are its features. It requires an abundant supply of natural hair or the use of switches, but is not difficult to arrange. Its latest adaptation is the massing of soft braided strands across the back of the head as shown in Fig. 1. The ears, as in nearly all the newest coifures, are covered. The always beautiful Greek coifure is shown in Fig. 2, combined with the Flemish. The Psyche knot is placed low at the back of the head; two soft, flat coils of hair at the sides blend in to it and cover the ears. The hair about the face is arranged in loose curls, confined by a band terminating in ornaments. These ornaments are so placed as to seem to support the coils. The hair at the top of the head is not parted, but lies in a broad strand across, from side to side. It would be difficult to accomplish this coiffure without the help of one or two pieces of artificial hair made for the purpose. In Fig. 3 is shown a very clever coiffure for one who admires, but cannot wear the plainer Flemish model; we cannot all possess clear cut features and a shapely head. In this model, short curls fall between the coils of hair at the sides. There is no front parting. The hair is waved over the head with a light fringe of curls over the forehead. This coiffure is very generally becoming and there is no gain-saying the charm of curls. Also (an interesting item to most Americans) this entire coiffure or any portion of it may be bought, ready to pin on; which fact solves the problem of either too little natural hair, or too little time. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. A PICTURE HAT. In leghorn, covered with spotted net, and trimmed with wild flowers and nattler blue velvet ribbons. New Idea for Negligees. One of the latest fancies for a dainty negligee is to use two thicknesses of mousseline or thin India silk, white for the outside and a delicate color underneath. They are separately made, and are only caught together at the hems. They are most exquisitely elusive in the shading, and are trimmed with five ruffles of three-inch footing. The neck is pointed in the front and the back. The sleeves are rather loose and ruffled from the elbow to the shoulder, with the footing. From the point at the back of the neck there is a square bow with long ends hanging. At the front there is just a big square bow of the same, also edged with the footing. The shade known as leaf-green under the white makes an excellent combination. Embroidered Fur Sets An odd fur set made up as a guide for the women who wish to know the modes which are likely to prevail next winter, in order to have their remodeling done now at the low summer rates, is of seal.

Recipes for Sausage Baked With Beans and for Several Kinds of Mayonnaise That May Be New to Our Readers. Berkshire Muffins.—One cup cornmeal, one cup flour, one cup boiled rice, three teaspoons baking powder, one teaspoon salt, one-fourth cup sugar, one and one-fourth cups hot milk, two eggs, one tablespoon melted butter. Scald the meal with the hot milk and let stand five minutes; add the boiled rice and flour, baking powder, salt and sugar sifted together thoroughly; add the yolks of the eggs beaten until thick, the butter and well beaten egg whites. Bake in hot buttered gem pans 25 minutes. Sausage Baked With Beans.—Let one quart of pea beans soak over night in soft water; wash, drain and cook until very tender, but not broken, in boiling water, changing the water at least twice. Put the beans into a baking dish with links of sausage here and there, using in all about a pound of sausage. Dissolve two teaspoons of salt in a quart of boiling water and pour over the beans, adding more if needed to cover. Bake five or six hours. Serve hot with tomato cups. Press the "leftover" closely into an oval shaped dish, taking no care to retain the shape of the beans. When cold turn from the dish and cut into slices. Garnish with celery leaves or parsley. Serve with a beet or tomato salad. Some Mayonnaise.—Prepare the mayonnaise with the lemon juice instead of vinegar and when ready to serve fold in a dressing made of one pint of oil, a cup of whipped cream and a few grains of salt and pepper. Use double cream, whip until solid and measure after whipping. Green—Cook together a cup of peas, two or three leaves each of mint and lettuce, a root of spinach and a sprig of parsley, until the peas are tender. Drain and press through a fine sleeve. If the pulp be moist, cook and stir until dry. When cold add to mayonnaise dressing, using such quantity as is needed to secure the tint desired. Omit the mint leaves when the sauce is for fish. Red.—Cook a can of tomato puree (cooked tomatoes strained) until reduced to two tablespoons; add when cold to mayonnaise dressing, using such quantity as is needed to secure the desired tint. Jelly for Meats.—To a cup of mayonnaise dressing beat in gradually from two tablespoons to one-third of a cup of chilled but liquid aspie Jelly. A Delicious Bird Pie. Squabs, pigeon, quail or a young chicken may be used in the following recipe. Cut the birds down the back, then rub in halves, wash and wipe dry. Rub each piece with catsup, a little salt and pepper and roll in flour, fry in butter until a nice brown on both sides (use plenty of butter). As each piece is browned lay in pan to be baked. Add a tablespoon of flour to butter your fried birds in. When rubbed smooth, add two cups cold water and stir until it thickens. Add a shake of celery salt and thyme to liquid and pour over birds. A few thin strips of bacon are a pleasant addition. Make a crust as follows: One cup flour, one teaspoon baking powder, a pinch of salt. Rub into flour a tablespoon of butter or lard; add enough milk to make it roll easily. Roll thin, cover ple. Invert a cup in center of pan to support crust that it may not get liquid soaked. Rub crust with milk to insure its baking a pretty brown; cut hole in center and bake 30 minutes. To Cook Smelts. French cooks improve the humble smelty by serving it with various sauces, such as shrimp, anchovy or crayfish sauce. For a shrimp sauce to serve with smelts, add some anchovy essence, lemon juice, a little lobster coral and cayenne to melted butter. Stir in a few picked shrimps and serve in a sauce boat beside the smelts, which should have been fried in deep fat to an appetizing brown. Before frying trim and clean the fish and treat them as usual with egg and bread crumbs. French cooks use flour also, dipping them first in the flour, then in egg, and finally in crumbs. Smelts are much better for being boned and the flesh will hold together nicely if fastened with tiny skewers. Use a frying basket to cook them in. Crystallized Fruit Pick out the finest of any kind of fruit; leave in the stones; beat the whites of a three eggs to a stiff froth, lay the fruit in it with the stems upward, drain them and beat the part that drips off again, select them one by one and dig them into a cup of finely powdered sugar; cover a pan with a sheet of fine paper, place the fruit on it and set in a lukewarm oven. When the iceing on the fruit becomes firm pile them on a dish and set them in a cool place until ready to serve. Bagout of Duck Cut the remains of cold duck into neat pieces, lay them in a stew pan with the gravity that was left. Simmer slowly over the fire for 15 minutes, then dish up, and garnish with small croutons. The juice of an orange in the gravity is an improvement. BURGESS SWIMS OVER CHANNEL GOES FROM ENGLAND TO FRANCE IN 27 HOURS, 35 MINUTES. COVERS SIXTY MILES SOON AFTER START FOG SETTLES DOWN OVER CHANNEL —TIDE STRONG. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Deal, Eng.—Capt. Matthew Webb's feat of swimming the English channel thirty-six years ago was duplicated by William T. Burgess, a native of Yorkshire, but now a naturalized Frenchman. It was Burgess' sixteenth attempt, he having first essayed the task in 1904. Burgess started from South Foreland, Dover, landing at Le Chatelet, a little village two miles east of Cape Cris Nez, accomplishing the passage in twenty-seven hours and thirty-five minutes. A motorboat accompanied the swimmer. It is estimated that Burgess, owing to the zigzag course he was compelled to take because of the baffling tides, covered sixty miles in crossing the twenty-mile channel. Soon after the start a dense fog settled down over the channel and no further tidings of his progress were received ashore until the announcement was made that he had accomplished the task and landed in France. Throughout the trip Burgess was favored by a calm sea, but a strong tide was running and a severe strain was put on the swimmer to get past the Goodwin sands. Twice he was attacked by sickness and several times was only held to his task by the strongest will power and the encouraging words of the men in the boat. He remained on French soil just long enough to telegraph word of his success to his wife and partake of refreshments in a bathing box. Then he returned to England by motorboat to rest and sleep. When he landed at Deal ,Burgess with difficulty made his way through the cheering throngs to a hotel. A crowd soon assembled and many persons plunged in and escorted the plucky swimmer ashore, encouraging him with cheers. When Burgess regained his feet, he stumbled a few steps and then was seized, raised shoulder high and carried to a bath house to the strains of "Marseillaise" sung wildly by the crowd. For the trip across the channel Burgess was well greased. He wore a pair of goggles and a rubber bathing cap. A party of eleven accompanied him in a motor-boat. Soon after the start the wind freshened, and the swimmer had a nasty experience in a lumpy sea. The water penetrated his goggles and first affected the right eye, though finally both eyes became inflamed. By nightfall the wind had subsided altogether and there was an oily calm on the water. Burgess had recovered and was swimming powerfully. He was bright and cheery, and from time to time chatted with the men who were in the boat. The next flood tide sent him right back toward England over the dreadful ridge shoal, where he noticed the chill of shallow water. He asked that soundings be taken, and it was found that the depth was twenty-one fathoms. He concluded that it was nearer England than France. The swimmer Weidmann dived in and accompanied Burgess from 9 o'clock until after midnight. The night was ideal with a bright moon, but there was a haze on the water. Burgess took hot milk, grapes and chocolate at half hour intervals. Two Millionaires Indicted. New York.—Separate indictments, accusing Nathan Allen of Kenosha, Wis., and John R. Collins of Memphis, Tenn., reputed millionaires, of smuggling gems valued at thousands of dollars into the port of New York, have been brought to light in the offices of United States District Attorney Wise. Allen, a leather manufacturer, is charged with having concealed about his clothing a pearl valued at $10,000 when he landed from the Lusatiana, on June 22, 1909, also a gem studded gold bracelet, fashioned in the design of a snake. Collins, a coal operator of Tennessee, was a fellow passenger with Allen, and the indictment charges him with having smuggled valuable articles. Pastor Refuses $1,000 Fee. Newport, R.

One of the largest, if not actually the largest, bequest made to any American university by an officer of the university was the estate which by his will Prof. Elias Loomis, who died in 1889, bequeathed to Yale University. Professor Loomis was an eccentric and yet very greatly respected member of the Yale faculty for more than a generation. There is no alumnus of Yale whose degree was received between the early sixties and the late eighties who does not recall affectionately and yet with a slight smile of humorous recollection this quaint and eccentric professor vastly learned in natural philosophy, mathematics and especially astronomy. Among men of science the world over Professor Loomis ranked with Dan, the great geologist; Hadley, the Greek scholar and father of Arthur Hadley, president at this time of Yale; and Sillman, one of the world's great authorities upon chemistry. The United States government recognized Professor Loomis as the foremost meteorologist of the United States, and when the government established its first weather bureau this was not done until after consultation with Professor Loomis. Professor Loomis was a man of singular taciturnity. If he could express his thought in a single word, he would do that. Moreover, he led almost a hermit's life. The world of Yale University saw nothing of him except at chapel, at Sunday services, and in the lecture room. After lectures were ended or the recitations brought to a close, Professor Loomis would depart quietly, always unaccompanied, from the lecture room, crossing New Haven green to his lodging room, which faced the green. He always wore a conspicuous black and white checked necktie, gathered into a bow knot of mathematical accuracy; his linen was immaculate. Within the time specified by statute after the death of Professor Loomis his will was offered for probate. It contained only two bequests, and one of these was a partial one. He bequeathed his entire estate to Friends Relieved His Financial Distress, but It Was Messages of Confidence That Kept Him in Public Life. One of the well-known incidents in the career of William McKinley was his financial failure during his first term as governor of Ohio. Out of the difficulties of that disaster he was helped by his friends; and how his friends flocked to his assistance, and what was the thing that really kept McKinley in public life at this time, when he was seriously thinking of retiring under the burden of his personal misfortune, are made plain on the authority of E. Prentiss Bailey, the veteran newspaper proprietor and editor of Utica, N. Y., who now holds the record for the longest consecutive service in the office of any one daily newspaper in the United States. For years Mr. Bailey has enjoyed the confidence of leading men of both great political parties. "One day in 1893, when I was dining at my hotel in New York city," said Mr. Bailey, "there walked into the room and sat down at my table my old friend, H. H. Kohlsaat of Chicago, then part owner of the Inter-Ocean of that city. We were in the midst of breakfast and the morning newspapers when, suddenly, Mr. Kohlsaat threw down the paper over which he had been glancing, exclaiming as he did so: "This is dreadful news—dreadful!" "Then, though he was so excited that he could hardly speak, Mr. Kohlsaat told me that he had just read a dispatch from Columbus, Ohio, which reported that Governor William McKinley was bankrupt—that his own fortune was lost and that of his wife had been greatly impaired—and that the governor had decided to give up public life and to turn everything that he possessed over to his creditors. "No man who knows William McKinley as I do can have the slightest doubt that if financial ruin has come upon him he has not been himself responsible for it," declared Mr. Kohlsaat, adding, 'His friends must now come to his support." "With that, Mr. Kohlsaat rose from the table and left the room. After a while he returned and explained that he had just telegraphed his sympathy to McKinley and told him that 'one-half of all I have in the world is yours, yours in whatever way may best serve you in this great emergency.' Mr. Kohlsaat was still greatly agitated, and without resuming his breakfast, shortly excused himself and went away. "The next time I saw him—a few years later—he told me of McKinley's experience immediately following the Only One Postmaster Then Yale College, one-half of the estate to pass immediately into the possession of the college; in the other half his sons were to have a life interest, the income from it being divided between them, and after that interest lapsed, the entire estate was to go to Yale for the purpose of establishing as great and fully equipped an astronomical observatory as the amount of the estate would permit. Every one around Yale gasped when he learned the provisions of the will. Had this quiet professor, who had led a lonely life, been able to save out of his salary a sum as great as twenty-five thousand dollars? That was the estimate of the value of the estate commonly made from the nature of the bequest. But when the estate was inventoried and the administrators made their reports to the probate court, a most amazing state of affairs was disclosed. The quiet professor had amassed not $25,000, but a fortune a little in excess of $300,000; his investments had been made with wisdom, most of them were what are called quick assets. And one after another of his old faculty associates went about asking how had it been possible for Professor Until Grant's Second Term the Persons in Charge of Offices Were but Deputies of the Postmaster General. "Do you know that until the latter part of Grant's second administration there was only one postmaster in the United States?" The questioner was James Henry Marr, who had entered the postoffice department as a clerk under Amos Kendall, Jackson's last postmaster general, risen to first assistant postmaster general under President Grant, and at the time he put this question was chief clerk to the first assistant postmaster general in Cleveland's first administration. "Yes," continued Mr. Marr, from the foundation of the federal government until the latter part of Grant's second administration—nearly 100 years—the country had but one official postmaster, publication of the news that he had lost his fortune. Telegrams by the hundred poured in upon the governor. Many came from Democrats who were his bitter political enemies; many others were sent by persons with whose names McKinley was not familiar; and and all offered financial assistance, almost every one urged him not to give up public life, and every one of the dispatches—and the letters that soon began to flow in—assured him that he stood high in the estimation of the American people, and that his misfortune would speedily make that fact apparent to him. "Several men of financial ability, as is well known, undertook the management of McKinley's affairs and financed him out of his embarrassment. Undoubtedly, many persons believe that it was the action of these men that persuaded McKinley to remain in public life. But it was not, and I have Mr. Kohlsaat's word for it. It was, rather, the many messages of confidence that came from all parts of the country that persuaded McKinley that it was his duty to remain in public life as long as the people wished him to continue there. After these messages had poured in upon him, and he had had time to realize what they meant, he felt that he could not justly resist those touching evidences of widespread confidence in his personal integrity."

Thackeray probably wrote the prettiest and most legible hand of any distinguished author; a commentator on the MSS, shown at the Thackeray exhibition describes it as being "as free from reproach as his English." But the master of the easiest and most flexible style in English fiction occasionally made careless and irritating slips. He wrote "different to," which is a common and quite unaccountable mistake, and "compared to," which is as bad. No one would think of saying or writing "compare this to that," yet you find "compared to" in print every day in the week. And he also fell into the common error of making the surname plural instead of the prefix—the "Miss Potters," for instance, in "The Newcomes," instead of the "Misses Potter." Would anybody write the "Mr. Potters?" Why should the ladies be so mishandled. The Retort. "I don't see how you can enjoy grand opera when you can't understand the words." "Didn't you ever enjoy a dish of hash without knowing what was in it?" Loomis to accumulate so large an estate as that. It was known that he had inherited nothing and that, however the estate was gained by him, it was the result of his own savings or work. Not until some time after the probating of the estate did the true explanation of the manner in which his fortune had been accumulated begin to be made in a sort of confidential way to the inner circle at Yale college. Then it was said: "Professor Loomis was one of the most successful of the writers of American text books, not only from the scholarly point of view, but from that of business. His text books upon mathematics and astronomy, his text books upon meteorology and allied sciences, had a sale wherever the English language was spoken, a sale the magnitude of which was known only to Professor Loomis and his publishers." And in clearing up the estate evidence was also obtained among some of Professor Loomis' papers tending to show that at the time when he began to write text books he had no other purpose in view than the making of Yale University the beneficiary of all of his earnings from the books, subject to a life interest in a part of the estate which his sons were to have. (Copyright, 1911, by E. J. Edwards. All Rights Reserved.) though during that period there were many individuals who were that postmaster. The postmaster of the United States during all that time was always none other than the postmaster general. "But at one time during that period, if it had not been for John C. Calhoun, the law which designated the postmaster general as the postmaster of the United States would have been regarded as a dead letter and treated accordingly. "A short time after Mr. Calhoun had resigned the vice-presidency of the United States and been elected senator from South Carolina—that was in 1832—he one day entered the office of the postmaster general, Amos Kendall. Mr. Calhoun's long, dark hair was brushed straight back from his forehead; his eyes looked like two burning coals of fire. I was with Mr. Kendall; Mr. Calhoun spoke most courteously to me—he was courteous to everybody—and then turned to the postmaster general. "Mr. Postmaster General," he said, "I have just noticed a disposition to make out improperly commissions to those appointed to take charge of post-offices throughout the country. Mr. Postmaster General, you are the only postmaster in the United States; your successor will be the only postmaster; all men appointed to take immediate charge of the various postoffices throughout the country are, under the law, deputy postmasters, and nothing more. The man in charge of the postoffice at New York is a deputy postmaster; so is the man in charge of the postoffice at Philadelphia. Let us say that, probably by inadvertence, a commission has just been made out appointing a man postmaster. I desire to have that corrected. No man under the law can qualify or take charge of a postoffice under the designation of "postmaster." Until now, so far as I know, no commission has been made out since I have been in public life by which any one has qualified to take charge of any postoffice in the country except under the title of "deputy postmaster." And if it is possible for me to prevent it, no commission shall be made out in any other way." "Mr. Kendall thanked the great Calhoun for calling the matter to his attention, and assured him that all commissions to appointees to take charge of postoffices should be made out in strict accordance with the law; and that way they were made in every case, to my personal knowledge, as long as Calhoun lived. "Furthermore, I had occasion not long ago to look over the records relating to the appointment of men to take charge of postoffices. I found that as late as Gen. Grant's second administration the postmaster general was the sole postmaster of the United States, all the so-called postmasters throughout the country being set down in the records as deputy postmasters. But in Grant's second administration the law was changed so it became legal to drop the word 'deputy,' and the unique distinction that the postmaster general had enjoyed for nearly a century of legally being the country's only postmaster was lost to him."

THE Colorado Statesman 1824 Curtis Street Room 25 --- AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS No one who has kept trend with the current affairs for the last forty years would deny for one moment that the negro people have made great progress along many lines. They have abler educated ministers who preach the gospel in the highest and best sense. They compare very favorably in that respect with any other people. But it must be admitted that this number is in the minority rather than the majority. There are far too many who do not do anything but talk and beat the air. And the Voice regrets to say that these have a greater following than the intelligent God-sent ministers. It is a case "where ignorance is bliss 'tis folly to be wise." They tear down rather than build up. But there is a large minority who do credit to any race anywhere and the Voice is delighted to say that the number is fast increasing. They are not those who believe that all you have to do is to open your mouth and it will be filled by some miraculous power, but that you must prepare by hard study in some theological seminary or college. And they are making it less popular for the ignorant ministers who put their hands in their ears and whooo and imagine they have preached a good sermon when finished. Then, too, the younger race is being educated and are growing intelligent, and will not have that kind of stuff. And hence it is only a question of time before that kind of ignorant and superstitious talk must give way for truth and spirituality. For those who worship God must do so in spirit and truth. We have many doctors and some lawyers being graduated yearly, and many of them are doing good work for their race and community in which they live. They do not belong to the criminal class. Very seldom you hear of any of this class of negroes committing any crime. They are self-respecting and law-abiding. The only fault we find is their lack of unity among themselves. But we see some improvements along this line. The Voice seems to think there is better understanding among them. They seem to understand one another and work for the highest good of their patients. As to what the negro editors are doing, we only refer to the address delivered by Mr. Booker T. Washington in New York before the Negro National Business league. He told the truth when he said "that no people" ought to receive the patronage of our people. He said, without these papers negro enterprises never could have made the progress which they have. The true negro paper not only serves its own race, but both races. For it cements the friendship between them. Of course there are exceptions. There are those that are calamity howlers, that always see the dark side rather than the bright. But the Voice is an optimist and believes that the law-abiding and God-fearing among our white neighbors want us of succeed, and not withstanding the rabid talks of the politician, we believe that the best white people wish us well and that we will secure every right guaranteed us by the state and federal constitution. The Voice further believes that industrious, law-abiding and God-fearing as many of our people are, need have any fear of the future. Let us not then be discouraged when things don't come our way at all times.—Pledmont Voice. The Record is in hearty accord with the results achieved by Booker T. Washington. It looks like pin-headed judgment to be constantly assailing some non-essential idea. Booker T. Washington is easily the most constructive negro in this country. This is best illustrated not only by the courtesy with which he is treated everywhere, but also by the generous response made to the appeals he makes. Booker T. Washington represents an idea, a substantial idea, an idea of constantly enlarging growth. There may be things said and done by him with which we may not agree, but are those things of sufficient importance to cause the maligning and villifying insinuations that some delight in casting? Brethren, there is no use in begging the question, the man who succeeds in giving the negro the largest opportunity and preparation in meeting the requirements of this strenuous life is the man whom the negro needs.—Dayton (O. J.) Record. Hon. William H. Lewis, assistant attorney general, has been compelled to decline many cordial invitations to address audiences in various cities in the States. Lewis finds the duties of his office so exacting that to require all his time. And he feels that it is up to him to prove that a colored man can successfully fill the next highest office in the department of justice. It's all work with William H. Lewis, and the race should feel proud of his application to duty.—Washington Bee. The best policy for every colored man is to attend to your business—a good road to stay out of trouble. The noise-maker is not always the true and confidential leader. He is usually the man at the foot. An eastern magazine published two letters from the south touching upon the negro, and incidentally illustrating the two standpoints from which the black man in the south is usually viewed. The first letter quotes from a recent editorial in the New Orleans Item as follows: "The negro is with us without his consent or ours, by force of circumstances lying far behind us. As an ignorant, untrained, undisciplined brutal element of our population, he has not been a success. Schooling, discipline and encouragement in good tendencies may improve him condition." The other letter was from the secretary of the Board of Trade of Little Rock, Ark., a man who is working for the material and spiritual growth of his community and the south, and who is not afraid that the negro will out distance him in the race of life. The letter follows: "Say something when you can about the acquirement of real estate by the negroes. The negroes on the farm are improving steadily. Yesterday we had a call here from Dave Nelson, sixty-eight years old, who owns eighty acres of bottom land—cotton land—sixteen miles from Little Rock. He is worth about ten thousand dollars and is a fine farmer; but the point I want to bring out is that he is bringing in his first year's crop of Elberta peaches in addition to cotton, and these peaches will average four bushels to the tree. Nelson is as black as the ace of spades, but is a good farmer and a good citizen." A committee of prominent, colored citizens honored Mayor Gaynor of New York by presenting him with a loving cup as an evidence of the esteem and respect he is held in by the colored citizens of the metropolis. During the administration of Mayor Gaynor he has been especially solicitous of the welfare and interest of the colored portion of New York's population. This friendly attitude has commended itself to the better thinking class of colored citizens and, to show the mayor their appreciation of his broad policy, it was decided by the committee to make a presentation to his honor. The presentation occurred in the Aldermanic chamber at the city hall. The delegation was headed by Bishop Alexander Walters, the distinguished prelate of the A. M. E. church, and a force in the moral and intellectual life of the metropolis. The movement on the part of the colored citizens in honoring Mayor Gaynor is regarded as an interesting move and efforts are being made to make the incident one of national note. An elaborate and interesting program had been prepared and several addresses expressive of the good will of the colored people toward Mayor Gaynor were made. Bishop Walters, who headed the delegation and whose opinion is valued highly on political matters, looks upon Mayor Gaynor as one of the best city officials New York has had in a long time. This opinion is the prevailing one in the metropolis among the colored citizens. Dr. Booker T. Washington, who was booked to make a tour through Maryland this summer, has postponed his tour and has decided to make a tour through Texas instead, the last of September. Dr. Washington is planning to make his tour through Texas especially interesting, and hopes to touch the life of the negro population in the state from all of its phases. Dr. Washington said that the trip will be an educational pilgrimage and will be taen to become acquainted with the life affecting the colored people of the state. Texas is said to be an interesting state and the trip through Texas by Dr. Washington will be one calculated to inspire the colored citizens. There are 21,130 school children in Jefferson county, Arkansas. They are divided as follows: White—males, 2,449; females, 2,246. Negroes—males, 7,619; females, 7,892. The negroes outnumber the whites over three to one. There is no race friction whatever in that county. Perhaps both races have resolved to get along as well as possible. Booker T. Washington will not be allowed to speak in the representative hall at the state's capitol during his visit to Austin, Texas. A resolution allowing him the privilege was introduced by Representative Schluter of Travis. The resolution was put down by the majority of the house. Some of our people are on the standstill and have sat down on their past "rep." If you stop, it will die out. Keep striving and pursuing.—Palestine Plaindealer. Our people are branching off into every enterprise, and they are succeeding. The boy and girl should be taught to save some of their earnings, for they are very essential during the rainy days. A little talk, a little encouragement and some advice are all good for a people striving for name and respect. Officer of Order Charged with Wrecking Bank. ALL BUT ONE GAVE BAIL IN SUM OF $3,000 EACH—HE GAVE LEG BAIL. Richmond, Va.—The grand jury indicted "the big five" general officers of the Grand Fountain of the Order of True Reformers, the negro fraternal order, for alleged complicity in the looting and wrecking of the True Reformers' bank. The officers indicted are W. L. Taylor, grand master; Edward L. Ellis, Jr. vice-grand master; W. P. Burrell, grand secretary; J. C. Robertson, general attorney, and Reuben T. Hill, cashier of the True Reformers bank, who is now a fugitive under indictment for grand larceny of indefinite sums. The grand jury estimates the amount of shortage at $290,000. The membership of the Order of True Reformers is spread over 28 states. All of the indicted men, except Hill, the fugitive from justice, were bailed in the sum of $3,000 each for their appearance for trial. THEY SAT IN SHADY SEATS. All the shady seats in Union square were taken, says the New York World. There were plenty of vacant ones in the sun, but it was a scorching hot day. A young man and girl strolled into the park from Broadway and, finding no place to rest, obtained by strategem what they could not get by fair means. Standing near enough to the sitters to be heard, the young man remarked: "It's pretty nearly time he passed over." "Who?" innocently asked the girl, not seeing what he was getting at. "Why, Wilbur Wright. He's going to circle the Metropolitan tower today. Starts from Garden City. It's five minutes to one now; let's go see him. He's to be there at one." The report that one of the Wrights was to do an open-air stunt spread rapidly, and as the Metropolitan tower could not be seen from the choice spot in which the youth had elected to sit, more than half of those occupying the benches started off. Two of the coolest, shadiest seats were then selected by the youth, and he and his companion sat down. HIS REASON. A well known temperance lecturer often makes use of the following illustration: "I can perhaps sympathize," he says, "with the real connoisseur of wines, with him who sips slowly, with proper enjoyment of the bouquet and the flavor, a small glass of vintage Bordeaux, champagne or Bourgogne. But after all, few men drink like that. "Most men drink like the China man who explained, as he bought a quart of flery, execrable, cheap whisky: "Me no drinkee for drinkee; me drinkee for drunkee."—Detroit Free Press. NOT OF THAT PROFESSION George L. Shronk, one of Atlantic City's champion lifeguards, was discussing his profession. "Funny things happen to us guards sometimes," said Mr. Shronk. "A funny thing happened to my friend Tim last week. "A society belle from Spruce street went in the water wearing one of those fashionable wigs. A big wave went over her, and when she came up the wig was floating out to sea. She turned and ran to Tim. "Oh, save my hair!" she yelled. "Save my hair!" "Pardon me, lady," says Tim. "I'm a life-saver, not a hair restore." DIFFERENCE OF OPINION. The professor of law was quizzing his class. Singling out a somnolent student in the rear of the room, he addressed a question to him. Confused, the student rose, and bent his ear to catch the stage whispers of his friends seated about him. "Well, you ought to be able to answer," snapped the professor, "with all the aid you are receiving back there!" "Professor," came the quick reply, "I could, but there's a difference of opinion back here."—Everybody's. OH, THE CHUMP They were sitting in the park in the dusk of the evening. "I'm so chilly, Algernon," she murmured. "Won't you please put something around me?" "Certainly, dear," he replied. "What would you like to have me put around you?" "Oh, anything—" So he went and borrowed a shawl and put it around her. Wasn't he the original bonehead? A COLD DAY. Mrs. De Silke—I wish to give a memorial of some kind to the church, in memory of a relative. What would you suggest? Struggling Pastor—A—er—an appropriately decorated—er—new church furnace, madam, and a—a few tons of coal.
