WASHINGTON VOL. XX. Blackam In T SCHOOLS FOR NEGROES. (The Outlook) Continued from last issue. Some of the more touching and heart-reaching lettess that I receive regrdring accommodations for colored children come from Southern white people of both sexes. The following is one example of many. A Southern white lady, the wife of a former official in Alabama, in a letter speaking of the rural schools in her county, says: "Dr. Washington: "Since being elected President of the School Improvement Association of this country, I find conditions gloomy enough for both races, but it is strictly relative to the colored race that I am writing this. "There was some irregularity in the application to Dr. Dillard, of New Orleans, for the supervisor of the colored schools, and this leaves me absolutely without means with which to supply this crying need. "Now I am asking you to send me one of your best teachers—I mean most conscientious teachers—to visit each colored school in this county in the capacity of supervisor. If once a quarter would be too much to ask, then let them come at least twice during the scholastic year. The county superintendent has promised to appoint me a president of the School Improvement Association, and I shall personally undertake the direction of her work. If only you could see the heart-breaking need as I see it! "You have been called the 'Moses' of your race; then this call is to you to help lead your people out of the wilderness of ignorance and inefficiency. This is one of the opportunities to prove your sincerity. "Allow me to recall to your remembrance the liberal and sympathetic attitude held toward the Negro race by my husband, not only during his incumbency as a State officer but in all his dealings with them in private as well as in public life. The matter of improving the schools of this country has become a question of conscience, and something must be done. This appeal goes to you in the name of our Christ in behalf of his needy little ones. Yours for betterment, etc. "P. S.—We have only sixteen colored schools. After I had determined on this step, I consulted my superintendent, and he heartily sanctioned it." In a letter to the Montgomery "Advertiser," December 29, 1910, explaining why the black counties of Alabama, Macon County excepted, had lost population from 1900 to 1910, I said: "I do not believe that the leading people, and especially land-owners, of the 'Black Belt' counties know how little money some Negro schools receive. More money is paid for Negro convicts than for Negro teachers in Alabama. About $46 per month is now being paid for first-class, able-bodied Negro convicts, $36 for the second class, and $26 for the third class for the twelve month in the year, while in some counties Negro teachers get from $15 to $17 a month for a period of three or four months in the year." While I have dwelt a great deal upon conditions in Mississippi, South Carolina and Alabama, I do not mean to imply that these are the only States where such conditions exist. I have used them merely as examples of conditions existing in some portions, at least, of practically all of the States of the lower South. On my visits to the country schools in these and other States I have seen some very pathetic sights. In some of the so-called school buildings the roofs leak, the winds blow up through the cracks of the floors and down through the ceilings. I have seen in many of these schools five little boys and girls trying to study out of the same book. In some cases two children would occupy the front seat with the book between them, with two others peeping over their shoulders, and a fifth trying to peep over the shoulders of the four. Now, as I often say when speaking in the South—and I never say anything out of the South that I do not say the South—in those counties and districts in which this color line is drawn in the matter of fitting these people for the duties of life under free conditions, no color line is drawn in the payment of taxes or in the punishment of crime. The colored boy who has $1.50 a year spent on him for his education is punished by the same court under the same rules of evidence as the white boy who resides in the county and has $15 a year spent on him for his education. Aside from other results of this kind of short sightedness and injustice, this lack of school DENVER COLORADO SATURDAY. APRIL 4, 1914 State Hist & Nat Hist Booces State House GIANTS WHO ADC E JOURNAL DENVER COLORADO S facilities is fast driving some of the best colored farmers from the farms, where they are of best service to the white people and to themselves, to the large cities, where, in spite of certain disadvantages, they are reasonably sure of finding some kind of school for their children. Any one living outside of the South cannot realize how heavily the Southern States have taxed themselves within the last quarter of a century for education and what tremendous sacrifices they have made. It is hard to put in words a true or adequate description of the awakening that is now spreading all through the South in educational matters. While all this is true, we must not fail, however, to look facts in the face, even though they be disagreeable and discouraging facts. The best friend of the South is he who will tell the truth. I was born in the South, have lived in the South, and am just as proud of the South as any white man could be. For this very reason I want to see it get to the point where it will cease to be continually held up to the civilized world as the most criminal section of our country. But we can get rid of this reputation only in proportion as education replaces ignorance, as thrift and industry replace idleness and laziness, as high moral character replaces immorality. These bad and unhealthy conditions exist in many parts of the South. I repeat, because liberal and thoughtful white people too often do not actually know what is going on with reference to Negro education. These white people are so absorbed with their own personal business, or in matters that concern white people, that they do not have time, or take time, to find out the actual conditions in which colored people live. This leads me to hope that what I have said in this article may impress the leading white people in the South with the importance of looking into and making known the facts in regard to Negro education. In some parts of the country public attention has already been directed to the importance of this matter. In Russell County, Alabama, for example, where I have recently been, the white people are pleading for more Negro schools, more Negro teachers, and they are not ashamed to let the world know that they are in favor of Negro education. The same is true of many counties and cities in the South; but, when all this is said, we must face the fact, disagreeable as it may be, that when we consider the growth in population among the colored people in the rural districts of the South; where eighty-five per cent of the Negro population lives, the Nation still has a serious problem which we must meet in a spirit of generosity and handle with wisdom, and, above all things, with courage. Scholarship To Honor The Late Pres. Reindall Lincoln University, Pa., March 25.—The Alumni Association of Lincoln is planning to honor the late Dr. I. N. Rendall, for over forty years president of the university, by endowing the J. N. Rendall Memorial Alumni Scholarship. The sum required for endowing the scholarship is $25,000, and this amount is being raised among the graduates. Every Lincoln man is requested to contribute to this fund. Already over $1,800 have been collected and a special effort is now being made to raise before the June commencement. The alumni officers are confident that the sons of Lincoln will respond to this worthy appeal. The executive committee of the alumni met at the home of the Rev. Wm. A. Creditt in Philadelphia Wednesday, March 18, and arranged a program for the dedication of scholarship, which will be a special feature of the June commencement. This will be the first scholarship endowed at Lincoln by colored men. Dr. R. B. McCrary of Lexington, N. C., heads the contribution list with $80. Marion, S. C., March 24 — B.

The Division. Three Germans had been doing an odd job of repairing and agreed to split the pay evenly. They received $4, and, after several unsuccessful efforts of two of them to hit upon the correct division of the amount the third settled the business transaction thus: "Here is it, two for you two, and here is it, two for me, too. Ain't id?"—Philadelphia Public Ledger. Absinthe. The principal poison in absinthe is a vegetable substance known as thylon. It is found in wormwood, which is used in making absinthe. France is the largest consumer of absinthe, taking more than all the rest of Europe. The consumption has been steadily increasing, so that in 1911 over 1,000,000 gallons of absinthe were used in France. Concerning Nothing. We are told nothing is impossible. Wrong.

Something in the nature of curiosity with reference to Mexican situation was introduced today by Representative Park of Georgia, in the shape of a joint resolution directing the President to "acquire by purchase, treaty or conquest all of the territory of Mexico above the 20th degree of north latitude, comprising the state of Lower California, Sonora, Sinaloa, Chihauhau, Durango, Coahile, Chihauhau, Zacatecas, Nuevo Leon, Tomalipas, San Luis Potosi and Tterepig, from the authorities of the republic of Mexico to be reserved and used as territories of the United States for the colonization of and the preemption of homestead of colored races inhabiting the United States. --- A young colored man of Norfolk applied to the United States Naval Recruiting station in New York for enlistment as a tailor, and received a curt note from the department saying that "at present colored men are only being enlisted as mess attendants."

Hartzell, who has just returned from an eight months, tour of Africa in his capacity of missionary bishop of the Methodist Episcopal church. "The most serious problem," Bishop Hartzell said, "that confronts the Christian churches in Africa is to stem the tide of advancing Mohamendanism. At present the Christian churches are being far outdistanced in the struggle to convert the natives. On the other hand the sword has been taken from the hand of the Moslem in Africa, holy wars are a thing of the past. Moslems can become Christian without fear of death, and the methods of peaceful propaganda are being unified and enlarged by the Christian church." Bishop Hartzell praised the civil governors of the French, Belgian, Portugues and British colonies and spoke specially of the educational work being done by these governments —Voice of Missions. Washington, March 20.—From a farm of 87 acres, owned by John Jones, an ex-slave, in Shelby County, Tenn., has come to the Supreme Court of the United States a question affecting colored persons all over the country. It is whether or not ex slaves are entitled to inherit from their brothers and sisters, who likewise were ex slaves. The Supreme Court of Tennessee decided that ex-slaves had no inheritable blood. Will Jones, one of John's brothers, has brought the case to the Supreme Court, seeking reversal. "This is not a question of social right between the colored and the white race, but the question involved in this case is a question of civil rights," said the attorney for Jones. "If a decision of this character were allowed to stand" he added, "then would open the leavway for discrimination and abuse of the rights and privileges to mankind, white or colored."

Washington. They are concentrating particularly on Talladega at present. I wish people might realize how farreaching the work of these colleges is in the development of the civilization of our country. I am constantly traveling throughout the South and other sections of our country, and wherever I go I meet strong men and women who have been educated at one of these institutions. The men and women from these colleges are succeeding as teachers and leaders in nineteen other occupations. Many of the strongest men in the pulpits of the large denominations, such as Methodist and Baptist, have been educated at one of these institutions. But for the presence and influence of such educated men and women it would have been impossible for us to maintain peace and order between the white and black people in the South during all these years. If anyone wants to help in changing the attitude of the white people in the South toward the education of the colored people, he cannot do it in a more effective way than by contributing toward the endowment of these five leading colleges for our race in the South. It was my privilege recently, through an invitation, to attend the meeting of the executive committee of the American Missionary association, and I have never met a body of men who were more unselfishly devoted to the welfare of the South than is true of these committeemen. I very much hope the appeal which they are making to the public will meet a hearty response. Those cities which have a large colored population show high death rates. It has long been known as a scientific fact that the mortality among the negroes is greater than among whites, and the returns from the various states and cities demonstrate this fact. For instance, while the death rate in Portland, Ore., is but 11.0, in Richmond, Va., it is 22.4; in Birmingham, Ala., 20.4; in Atlanta, Ga., 19.3; in New Orleans, La., 21.3, and in Baltimore, Md., 19.4. Here in Washington, where one-third of the population is colored, the death rate is 17.5, and in 1911 it was as high as 18.9. These figures for the national capital are more significant when it is remembered that conditions are vastly different from those prevailing in such industrial centers as Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Detroit, where the danger from violent death in the mills and factories is a feature to be reckoned with. Here there are no factories and death from accident is much rarer than in cities such as those named.—Washington Star. Coal is by far the most important mineral product of India. The value of the output of the coal fields in 1912 reached a total of $16,088,374, which represents an advance of more than 32 per cent. But it's better to be born great than it is to thrust yourself upon greatness. Chinese bought 1,000,000 Bibles the first six months of this year. For thirty years a work for colored mothers has been maintained under many difficulties at Haddonville, N. J., under the auspices of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union. Mrs. Isabel Shipley is the superintendent, and has succeeded in bringing a great deal of comfort into the lives of working women of the colored race who have homes dependent upon them. These mothers are brought together in cheerful meetings and both helped and taught to better their lot. Arrangements are made to assist them in their necessary purchases and to help them in their earnings. This winter the work has been extended to take in a larger district, the need being great. Mrs. Shipley found herself confronted with many pleas for a larger circle of those who could enjoy the benefits of these mother-meetings, and in the face of the heavily increased expense has undertaken to meet the call. These helpful meetings are but one line of the excellent work among colored people conducted under Mrs. Shipley's direction. There are some 60,000 Asiatics employed on British ships. A strange instance of freak memory is recorded in the case of a servant girl in a Scottish manse. She was almost illiterate, yet, when delirious in fever, surprised those around her by repeating long passages of the Bible in Hebrew. The kitchen where the girl spent her evenings adjoined the minister's study. He was accustomed to read aloud. The girl had not understood or consciously taken heed of the reading, yet her mind had seized upon and stored the phrases. Hard to please—The stage villain. In an address before the Wabash Avenue Y. M. C. A., former Governor Charles S. Deneen of Illinois, reviewing the negro's activities in this country during the half century of his freedom, told the exact truth when he said that the record was one of which no member of the race need be ashamed. The sudden stepping from a "paternal and protective" condition, where the negro was entirely a dependent and his individual efforts were repressed to the utmost by the very nature of his condition, to a status of freedom made his problem an unusually difficult one. When to the normal difficulties of such a condition were added the natural race prejudice which existed and still exists, and the bitter prejudices engendered of four years of bloody civil strife, it is plain enough that the negro's problem was one of the hardest that history records. Thus, however, is the negro's record summarized by Mr. Deneen: "It was under these adverse conditions that the negroes of the United States began their uphill struggle for industrial independence. Fifty years have elapsed since that time; a very brief period in the calendar of racial or national progress, and yet in that time I think it can safely be said that the advancement made has been something which the American people, and those of your own race in particular, may well be proud." The conclusion reached by Mr. Deneen is that the negro has "made good." That must be the conclusion of every unbiased observer. This fact gives promise that, despite noisy and offensive agitators among the whites and the impulsive and frequently ill-timed and ill-judged utterances of some negro leaders, we shall ultimately reach a solution of the "race problem" through the fairness and tolerance of the majority of the dominant race and the industry and continued usefulness and progress of the great majority of the negroes.—Chicago Inter Ocean. Addressing an audience of 500 negroes at Chicago, Judge Orrin N. Carter pointed out the real and gratifying progress made by the negro in America since the Civil war and, commenting upon the future of the race, said: "The future is largely in your own hands and must be provided for by education. It depends upon both the white and colored races if the Emancipation Proclamation is fully carried out." It is true that education is usually a solvent of prejudice. In that sense education is an excellent thing for the negro. Education to a certain degree is absolutely requisite. The negro should be able to read and write, should know commercial arithmetic and should have a fair knowledge of things in general. It is doubtful, however, whether what is commonly known as "higher education" will prove an unmixed blessing to the negro. One of the unhappiest persons in the world is the average highly educated negro. By superduction he acquires a contempt for the ordinary activities of his race and the prejudice which still unhappily prevails prevents him from mingling upon terms of equality with the dominant white race, in which he would find in larger numbers his intellectual and cultural equals. There are exceptions to this rule, but their number is exceedingly small. Colored teachers of the District of Columbia public schools formed an organization looking to obtain closed relations between these educators. Officers were elected at the meeting, which was held in the colored Y. M. C. A., as follows: R. A. Gillen, president; Miss May Cromwell, vice-president; Miss Helen Moore, recording secretary; Miss Julia H. Smith, corresponding secretary, and Miss N. E. Gibbs, treasurer. A. U. Craig, Robert Mattingly, Miss Zela Dyson, Miss L. G. Arnold and J. L. Chestnut were appointed a committee to frame a constitution and by-laws. The Italian supreme court has refused to allow Signorina Teresa Labriola to practise law in the country on the grounds that a woman cannot do anything in public life without the consent of her husband, and if she were allowed to practise law her husband might withdraw his consent.

The Texas owner of a large dairy herd believes he is the only man in the United States who cultivates the prickly pear, raising a 600-acre field of it annually and feeding his stock the pods after removing the thorns. The Swiss silk industry consists at present of more than 80 mills, nearly all of which are in the vicinity of Zurich. There are 14,000 looms in operation, and about 25,000 workers, chiefly women, are employed in this industry, earning from 60 cents to $1.20 a day. TORREON TAKEN BY VILLA'S MEN FHOUSANDS ARE DEAD IN CITY'S STREETS AFTER A MOST TERRIFIC BATTLE. ELEVEN DAYS FIGHTING REBEL CHIEF ADMITS 500 SLAIN 1,500 WOUNDED; DEFENDERS' LOSS ABOVE 2,000 MEN. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Villas' Fight for Torreon. The battle of Torreon ended Thursday night with victory by the Mexican rebel forces under command of General Francisco Villa. It was the most terrific in the modern history of Mexico. Fighting continued incessantly for days. About 12,000 rebels attacked the city, which was defended by 8,000 federalis, the best of Huerta's army under General Velasco. The rebels were repulsed in the first battle of Palacio, the main outpost of Torreon, but returned to the attack. After desperate fighting, Gomez Palacio, Lerdo and several smaller towns were taken. Then the attacker wounded him and Villa estimates his own casualties at 500 dead and 1,500 wounded, but says the federal losses are far greater. He estimates the capture of many prisoners and the pursuit of the retreating federals. Torreon is regarded as the key to Mexico City and the last important obstacle in the path of the rebels in the march toward the capital of Mexico. Juarez, Mex., April 3.—Torreon fell completely into the hands of the rebels last night, according to announcements made here by General Veniantiano Carranza. Latest reports direct from Gomez Palacio, declare the streets of Torreon are choked with dead and wounded. Some of the federals who had been fighting on the outskirts of the town fled, but a large number of prisoners who had been defending the barracks and street barricades were captured. The rebel soldiers were exhausted with fighting and when it became known that the enemy had been routed most of them fell asleep in the streets wherever they were: The first news was conveyed in the following official dispatch from General Villa to his chief: "Torreon, Coahulla, Mexico, April 2.—General Venustiano Carranza, Supreme Chief of the Constitutionalists: In this moment the remnants of the fedelals are leaving Torreon in flight. After eleven days of terrible fighting, in which we lost 1,500 wounded and 500 killed, and the fedelals, from the enormous number of bodies burned must have had over 1,000 killed, and their number of wounded I am unable to estimate. Our forces have full possession of Torreon. I regret to announce that among the wounded were General Ysabel Robles and General Calixto Contrasa. I congratulate and salute you with respect and esteem that I have always had for you. "GENERAL FRANCISCO VILLA. "Commander in Chief, Constitutional ist Forces in Chihuahua."

RESERVE BANK CITIES NAMED Colorado Goes in Region Ruled by Kansas City. Denver.—Coincident with the announcement of the selection of twelve reserve bank cities news was brought here that Denver, while not one of the regional centers, will be chosen as a branch city. Under the division announced by the reserve organization board, Denver and all of Colorado are included in the territory of Kansas City, which is one of the reserve centers. Besides Kansas City, regional banks will be located in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, Richmond, Va., Minneapolis, St. Louis, Atlanta, Dallas, Cleveland and San Francisco. Gov. McDonald Gets Blackhand Note. Santa Fé, N. M.—A blackhand letter was received by Gov. William C.

BOND ASKED BY UNION DEMAND PROTECTION FOR THE AMOUNTS DUE THEM IN CASE THEIR EMPLOYERS FAIL. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Columbus, Ohio, April 2.—Ohio bituminous coal mines will not resume operations today after the holiday celebrating the eight-hour day anniversary according to operators of this city. The operators said they had decided to stand by their decision to suspend operation until a new wage scale is agreed upon. No attempt has been made thus far by either side to effect a new working agreement, the fifty thousand miners having signified their intention to mark time until the results of their referendum vote is known. The miners in some districts may carry out their intentions of reporting at their usual places of employment as if no differences existed with their employers. Action of this sort, the miners pointed out, would emphasize their willingness to continue under the old wage scale pending the outcome of their referendum. Threaten to Shut Mines. Philadelphia.—The miners and operators of the central Pennsylvania bituminous field continued their conference here April 1 in an effort to agree on a new working agreement to take the place of the one that expired April 1. The operators have notified their superintendents to shut down the mines if an agreement is not reached. Will Seek Arbitration. Colliers, W. Pa.—It was announced that Governor H. D. Hatfield of West Virginia has asked the striking miners formerly employed by the West Virginia Pittsburg Coal Company and officials of the company to name representatives on a board of arbitration which will consider means for ending the strike, which has been in progress since last September. Miners Demand Bond. Peoria, Ill.—Illinois miners decided to ask the mine operators to furnish a bond to the local unions before any miner is allowed to enter the mines as a workman. The bond will be as large as the payroll of the various companies throughout the state. Several large operators, when informed of the plan, declared that they would flatly refuse to furnish any bond. Secretary McDonald issued orders to different parts of the state for the miners to remain at work. Tolls Fight Reopened in Senate. Washington.—The Panama tolls controversy, surpassing in interest any problem that has absorbed the attention of Congress in recent years, was transferred to the Senate from the House, where the Sims bill repealing the toll exemption clause of the Panama canal act was passed by the vote of 247 to 162. The measure's appearance was accepted as the signal for the beginning of one of the most protracted and complicated contests the Senate ever has faced. Policewomen for Pittsburg. Pittsburg, Pa.—C. H. Hubbard, director of public safety, announced the appointment of four policewomen, the first in Pittsburg. REBELS CHECK TORREON RELIEF Villa Continues Battle and Heavy Fighting Reported From Besieged Town. Juarez, Mex., April 2.—Federal reinforcements under Gen. Joaquín Maas, hurrying to Torreon to relieve General Velasco's men, were intercepted twenty-eight miles southeast of Torreon, along the line of the Mexican Central railroad, by Gen. Monclovio Herrera's brigade of rebels. A battle in the narrow cañon of Picardias was in progress between the reinforcements and Herrera's men and there were heavy losses on both sides. There are 3,000 men in the Federal command and Herrera has less than 2,000 rebels with which to hold them back. Advices from Gomez Palacio say 3,000 men of the Federal garrison in Torreon succeeded in escaping from the city and that Villa now is fighting a mere remnant of the force of 8,000 which originally opposed him. Heavy fighting was in progress at Torreon, according to a 1,000-word report received by General Carranza from General Villa. Hostilities Continue In Haiti. Washington.—Continued rebel activity in Haiti was reported by Lieutenant Commander Bostwick on the gunboat Nashville. The town of Hinche has been reoccupied by the government. Former Senator Theodore's forces are at Ouinaminthe. Miss Cudahy to Be Nurse.

EX-PRESIDENT TAFT ON THE COURT In the Saturday Evening Post of M President Taft on the Progressive party decisions, that calls for more than an article a masterpiece of real scholasticence between the legal mind and the reader that Mr. Roosevelt's idea w that is impracticable. Mr. Taft shows the inconsistency argues that the lack of training in law for this invention, "the recall." Everyone should endeavor to secure and read the article carefully, as it Quoting directly from the Post, Mr. R. "Any professional adherence to our time this doctrine is repudiated, meant the passing of laws for social justice with impunity by the courts or by any proposition is a vital point in the Pro Mr. Taft in concluding his article that would be brought to bear on the to carry, said: "When one compares that is done in the English courts we especially in the state courts, he begin having trained and expert judges and their courts so as to prevent irrelevance to the disposition of the real Roosevelt has undoubtedly begun at the administration of justice in this the courts and the lack of confidence has inspired. Still there may come on attacks and his fantastic remedy such in and thus enable the courts, by a long, of the public—of which Mr. Roosevelt, justly sought to deprive them." In all probability, Mr. Roosevelt, South America, and the request is no matter at issue clearly as there is more In whose interest is the constant fight in the ranks of colored citizens being kept up? Who are the real beneficiaries? Up to the present time what have the colored people gained by these dissensions? What if any real advancement in material welfare has come to us as a result of our constantly knifing each other? These are serious questions, worthy the thoughtful consideration of every race-loving man and woman in our community. The fight is being kept up in the interest of those who are opposed to the advancement of the Negro. It has been the policy for years of those who hate us to take advantage of our jealousy of each other to prevent anything like a union of purpose or action among us. It is the same principle which the capitalistic or corporate influence applies to labor organizations. Just so long as these organizations can be kept fighting over trivialities just so long is it possible for corporate greed to enslave them. Men persist in permitting their prejudices and personal likes and dislikes to bend them down until it becomes an easy matter to slip upon them the yoke of servitude. The real beneficiary is the man who believes that the Negro should have no place in the public service and who desires to weaken his claims by dividing his influence. We have as a result of knifing each other made no material advancement. On the contrary we have lost much of the respect formerly paid our demands for recognition. We have developed a very undesirable strength. Almost any one of our factions is strong enough to defeat the aspirations of any man of the other faction and nearly, if not all our factions are too weak to take up a man and make him. The result of our work is one defeat after another, while if united the conditions would be reversed. Another bad feature about this matter is this: these jealousies, animosities, bickerings and unseemly strifes are pervading our entire social fabric; they enter the home, the lodge, the church, business walks, and are planting deep the seeds of hate that are destined to bring to our children and the race for years to come harvests of division and war. Let us do away with the policy which means suicide to our future hopes and ambitions. EX-PRESIDENT TAFT ON THE COURTS AND THE PROGRESSIVE PARTY. In the Saturday Evening Post of March 28th we read an article by former President Taft on the Progressive party and the recall of judges and their decisions, that calls for more than passing comment. Not only is the article a masterpiece of real scholastic ability, but it proves the vast difference between the legal mind and the mind otherwise, and clearly impresses the reader that Mr. Roosevelt's idea was more of the nature of an invention that is impracticable. Mr. Taft shows the inconsistencies of Mr. Roosevelt's policy, and plainly argues that the lack of training in law and court procedure was responsible for this invention, "the recall." Everyone should endeavor to secure a copy of the Saturday Evening Post and read the article carefully, as it is very helpful to the educated mind. Quoting directly from the Post, Mr. Roosevelt expressed himself thus: "Any professional adherence to our other doctrines, while at the same time this doctrine is repudiated, means nothing. It is useless to advocate the passing of laws for social justice if we permit these laws to be annulled with impunity by the courts or by any one else after they have passed. This proposition is a vital point in the Progressive platform." Mr. Taft in concluding his article, after showing the terrible injustice that would be brought to bear on the people of this country if this idea were to carry, said: "When one compares the amount of most important business that is done in the English courts with that which is done in this country, especially in the state courts, he begins to realize the necessity there is for having trained and expert judges and for giving to them complete control in their courts so as to prevent irrelevant diversions and to hold counsel down to the disposition of the real issue in the case. But I do not despair. Mr. Roosevelt has undoubtedly begun at the wrong end, and has seriously injured the administration of justice in this country, by his unfounded criticism of the courts and the lack of confidence in them, for a wrong reason, that he has inspired. Still there may come out of the feeling aroused by his unjust attacks and his fantastic remedy such a popular scrutiny of the real defects in our administration of justice as to enable us to secure a real improvement and thus enable the courts, by a long, hard struggle, to regain the confidence of the public—of which Mr. Roosevelt and the Progressive party have unjustly sought to deprive them." In all probability, Mr. Roosevelt will reply to this on his return from South America, and the request is made to our subscribers to follow this matter at issue clearly as there is much information to be gathered. ```markdown ``` GOLDEN CHEST MINING, MILLING AND TUNNEL COMPANY.

United States Bureau of Education Has Obtained the Co-operation of the Russell Sage Foundation in Carrying Forward Movement. Washington.—Uncle Sam is interest- ed in. the wider use of the public school plant, The social center idea has taken such firm hold on the people in many parts of the country that the United States bureau of education has: asked for and obtained the ready co- operation of the Russell Sage founda- tion in planning and carrying forward the most extensive investigation yet made in this country to obtain in- formation in regard to the use of school houses and equipment for ac- tivities and interests other than those. of ordinary school work, The only ex- tensive studies of the social center movement made up to the present time have been carried on by the Rus- sell Sage foundation, working with- out government cooperation and alone, Commissioner P, P, Claxton of the bureau of education has addressed more than 1,300 letters to school su- perintendents in practically all cities and towns of more than 4,000 popula- ton, asking for a complete record of all after-school uses of the buildings for special purposes during the months of February, March and April. These blanks when filled out will be returned to the bureau of education for use in compiling what will be the most com- plete report yet made of the progress of the “wider-use-of-the-school-plant” movement. Clarence Arthur Perry, assistant di- rector of the department of recreation of the Russell Sage foundation, and officers of the bureau of education will be in charge of the co-operative study. The object of the investigation is to prepare for the American people an accurate report on just how much progress has been made in the use of school buildings as civic centers and to help show how the results of a program of effort in one school can be compared with that of another city and how the results of one administra- tive plan compare with those obtained by a different system in another city. Widespread interest in the evening use of public schoo! buildings for so- cial center activities is reported in all parts of the country. Different cities have different ideas of just what is a social center. In many places the institution is not even known under this name, being variously called “rec- reation center,” “evening center,” “clv- ic center,” “community center,” and other terms. The character of the uses to which the schools are put varies a great deal in many cities and also the amount of use of the school. Some cities open the schools six nights a week for social center purposes, while others restrict this use of the school plan to once a week or several times a month. In urging upon school su- perintendents the need of a compre- hensive report on social center work and a comparison of results obtained, Mr, Perry says: ‘Evening occasions in public schools are multipying with great rapidity.’ In their increase we see the school grad- ually developing new functions, a closer and more direct relationship with society, Like all other exhibi- tions of power, the new function brings with it the universal adminis- trative necessity of devising methods of testing various expenditures of en- ergy in the terms of the results ob- tained. In a growing number ‘ot school systems and in many buildings within these systems efforts are con- stantly put forth to arrange entertain- ments discussions and club activities, “Another problem connected with the evening use of school edifices arises out of the need, felt chiefly by the promoters of the new movement, of annually taking stock, estimating progress and reporting achievements to the public. In certain cities the evening activities have crystallized into an institution known as ‘social center’ or ‘recreation center,’ and there is both a propagandist and an admin- istrative need of being able to report at intervals upon the number of these ‘centers.’ But the increase of miscel- laneous occasions in school houses has in recent years become so great and so general that it is now practically impossible to say which buildings are ‘social centers’ and which are not. “The difficulty here is largely due to the fact that the school center has not been described in terms so con- crete and definite that it can serve as a criterion. Such a standard, to be applicable as a measuring unit, cannot be set up arbitrarily, but must be based upon usage and prevalent un- dertakings, and before one can be formulated data which are both pre- cise and comparable must be obtained regarding existing activities, The in- formation, however, which school offi cials now have regarding their under takings of @ social center character is not only fragmentary, but usually so different from that possessed by the officials of another city as to ren- ae Rtn dabe an genet a to Es: The annual mortality statistics of the bureau of census are of great ah value in studying Statistics of causes of death in different commu- Great Value. nities. These sta- tistics are collected in states having jaws providing for death registration. ‘This registration area has increased until now it contains considerably )more than one-half the total popula. tion of the country. These annual reports show the number of deaths in each state, classified with respect to age, race and nativity of decedents and with respect to the cause of of death, They also contain detailed statistics concerning the death rates from different causes in the various cities, counties and states. Birth sta- tistics are also collected annually in the registration areas. The director of the census is endeavoring to reor- ganize the work so as to collect an- nual birth statistics in all the states. ‘The scope of this inquiry will include place and date of birth, sex of child, name, color, age, residence, birthplace, and occupations of parents. Since 1902 the bureau of the cen- sus has published annual reports of financial statistics of cities with a pop- ulation of 30,000 and over. These re- ports give a complete presentation of the financial transactions of the prin- cipal cities of this country, showing their indebtedness and assets, the as- sessed valuation of taxed property, the net cost of conducting the cities’ business, the revenue collected, and the municipal indebtedness incurred. A circular presenting a statement and discussion of the numerous statis- Lensus Bureau. tment of com- partment of com- ‘merce, will be engaged during the next few years, has been issued by Director William J. Harris. This cireular {s in- tended to inform the public regarding the many and varied lines of work done by the census. Now that the task of taking the thirteenth decennial census and pub- ‘lishing its results Is practically at an end, the bureau is prepared to turn to its numerous “intercensal” Iines of work. : Director Harris states that it is his purpose to reorganize the work of the bureau so as to concentrate the force on the main census investigations with @ view to securing publication of the statistics more rapidly than hereto- fore. Eyery effort will be made to prevent the work of the bureau from becoming congested. So far as pes- sible, the work on the investigations in hand will be completed before new in- quiries are taken up. ‘The principal reports which the cen- sus bureau expects to issue during the next two or three years are the gen- eral reports on electrical industries for the year 1912; a report on wealth, debt and taxation of 1913; the census of manufactures for 1914; the census of agriculture for 1915; religtous bodies, 1916, and water transportation, 1916. In addition there will be issued the annual reports on mortality statistics, birth statistics, financial statistics of cities, cotton statistics (cotton ginned, cotton consumed, cotton spindles and cotton stocks), and tobacco statistics. ‘The special reports to be issued will include studies on racial classes of population; population of metropolitan districts; Indian population; negro population; supplementary occupation statistics, embracing occupations of adults and children, occupations of women, occupations of children, occu- pations of the foreign born and unem- ployment; fecundity of women; gen- eral statistics of cities; statistical at- las; plantation study in the southern states; age of the farmer in relation to tenure and size of farm, stability of farm population; inmates of insti- tutions (prisoners and juvenile delin- quents, paupers in almshouses, insane and feeble-minded), the blind and the deat and special monographs. Some of the acacias, a group of trees with a world-wide range, are so valu- Acacia Trees. >¢% says the de- partment of agri- culture in a bulletin recently issued, that the commercial cultivation in certain portions of the » United States may prove extremely profit- able. Aside from their value for tannin and lumber, the department goes on to say, they are well adapted to the reclamation of sandy and semi- desert lands, some species being able to thrive with only three inches of ‘rainfall, All told, there are about 450 species of acacias, 300 of which are Australian speties and the rest scattered over the world, principally in Asia, Africa and America. In addition to tannin and timber, many of the acacias produce valuable by-products. ‘The widely known gum arabic is derived principally from the Arabic acacia, though also from a number of Asiatic and African desert species. Cutch, an astringent gum in constant demand, 1s another acacta product. Many other kinds of guma are yielded by different acacia species. ‘The flowers of still another species, ‘known as cassie, yield a perfume, the manufacture of which at Grasse, France, the center of the perfume in- dustry, 1s very profitable. A full- grown tree yields about 300 pounds of flowers. Cassie growing utilizes poor soils, incapable of bearing grain or fruit crops. So far, acacias have been planted in the United States simply as ornamen- tals, and the information secured from a study of these does not throw much light upon the behavior of the trees under closely planted commercial con- ditions. ‘Their cultivation will have to be confined, of course, to the com: paratively frostless regions of the Gult coast, the Southwest and Call. fornia.

And through all that time she has had faith in him —the faith that makes a man ashamed not to accomplish things. To subjects that may affect her husband and four children, help them or interest them she is keenly allve—but beyond that Mrs. Fall finds time for little. It is not diMcult to find a woman who says she belleves a wife should be a helpmate to her husband. ‘The difficulty lies in finding one who lives up to the statement. Mrs. Fall docs.

After she formed this society she learned that some women in other countries were working to the same end. In Germany there was a large organiza- tion of farm wives, and it had affill- ated with other organizations of the same kind in other countries, and all of them had united into the Interna- tional Congress of Farm Women, “The Indian whose blood {s undt-| luted {s inherently honest, truthful. generous, kind, patient and grate- ful.

Mrs. Fall has. And if all this is apparent after an interview with Mrs. Fall, it ts not be- cause ehe is either boastful or talka- tive upon the subject. It is learned through little remarks dropped, direct questions and diplomatic leads. “My husband's success was not due to chance,” his wife claims. “When he started to practice, the first thought we had upon taking a case was wheth- er or not he could win it. The ques- tion of fee was secondary.” That “we” was one of the “remarks dropped,” and although Mrs. Fall is not a graduate of law, the expression was correct. She comes from a fam- ily of lawyers. Her father was one. Her cousin was Augustus H. Garland, attorney general in Cleveland's cab- inet, And, {t can be ddded, Mrs. Fall is a lawyer by instinct, sufficiently learned to take an active part in help- ing her husband. When asked the direct question as to woman's ability to help her hus- band, Mrs. Fall admitted it could be done, but there were conditions. “A woman can do much in inspiring her husband, and can help him. She is sure to be of use to him if she takes an active, intelligent interest in his work.” ‘That has been her motto, with em- phasis on the intelligent, and as a re- sult, 1t 1s safe to say that few have been the cases handled by Senator Fall of which she was ignorant, which was to hold a convention in Belgium. Mrs, Harbert had not much time to spare, and not much money to spare, elther, but she decided to go to the congress in Belgium because she had some practical {deas that had come to her while, as an orphan girl, she was doing the housework, and much of the field work, too, on a farm in Iowa; and later as a school teacher and ranch woman in Colorado. She had known bitterest poverty on a farm. She knew from experience the hard ness and the loneliness of the life. She had {ideas for lightening the bur- dens of farm women and for making their lives happier, and she wished to tell the farm women of the world about it. Just before she departed for the con- gress in Belgium she pruned with her own hands 1,000 cherry trees on her farm near Manzanola, and then she packed her trunk and went. In that congress were women dele- gates from Canada, Ireland, Scotland, England, Spain, France, Belgium, Hol- land, Germany, South Africa, Aus- tralia, Hungary, Denmark, Servia, Co- Jombia, South America, Panama, Aus- ‘tra, Switzerland, Poland and Russia. __ The princess of Spain was there as a delegate and there were many other titled women, and women of distinc: tion, but the majority of them were farmers’ wives. The only woman from the United States was Mrs. Harbert. Indian girl 1s brave enough to tell the truth. “The Indian {s moral and instinct- ively. This is a co-educational inst!- tution, in a sense, but we have less Sex annoyances than would be the case were the students white. The In- dian girl is modest. If marriage is uppermost in her mind she does not show it in her conduct. “Tradition represents the Indian as being indolent. I say that he Is in- dustrious. Among aboriginal Indians the labor of families was aiiiguias it 1s supposed to be divided among civilized people. The husband hunted, fished and went to war. “The wife remained at home, cooked the food of the family, and made such clothing as was customary to be worn, “History 1s filled with the atrocities of the Indians. The records we have, however, were written by their white enemies. The fighting of civilized na- tions today is sald to be much like the fighting of the savages which we look upon with horror. Scalping was in part a ceremony. Armies all over the world are now preparing to drop bombs from the air on their adver- saries. The Maine was blown up in Havana. The scalping of a man al- ready dead 1s, by comparison, a hu- mano performance. “No one has ever heard of an Indian mother whipping her children.” English tongue, as most of them have had some training in it in other countries, They all do not speak it fluently, to be eure, but they under- stand it and are able to carry on a conversation satisfactorily.

WARRIOR'S HEAD ON HOUSE NAME OF STREET CHANGED Peouliar Decoration of Broad, Handsome and Ambitious Capital Dwelling—Serves as Keystone. Wyoming avenue a few squares west of Connecticut avenue runs into Twenty-third street, and if you would follow the course of the first-named way you will make an acute turn to the north at Twenty-third street for a few paces and then you will see that Wyoming avenue leads over high ground westward to the crest above Rock creek. This part of Wyoming avenue has only recently been cut through. Opposite the point where Wyoming avenue strikes Twenty-third street is a fine new house which faces on the new-made and unimproved part of the avenue, but the east side of which, with a terrace garden before it, is on Twenty-third street. It is a broad, handsome and ambitious house of yellow brick and gray-white stone, and has a steep roof covered with dark red tile. The lawn along the east face, which is about three feet above the grade of Twenty-third street, has been planted with young trees. In the middle of the east face of this house there is a recessed portico with a semi-circular stone balustrade before it, with a facade of columns and pilasters. Two pairs of columns, the pairs set close together, flank the outer line of the recess, and above these columns the entablature is broken that a rounded arch may project upward from the cornice of the first story half way to the eaves of the red roof. At the top of this arch is the massive stone head of a man. It is the keystone of the arch. The head is helmeted and the face is carved with a heavy mustache and beard. It is a carving which no doubt illustrates the sculptor's or the stonecutter's conception of a stalwart classic warrior. ABOLISH ANCIENT PROCEDURE Gruesome Custom of Filing on Prospective Vacant Senate Seats Is Abandoned. The United States senate from time immemorial has had a gruesome sort of a procedure in securing advantageous seats. Of course, the United States senate is a continuing body; only a portion of its members go out every year, so that the older members retain their seats, and only a limited number are ever vacated at any one term. The custom referred to is that of filing on a senate seat which it is thought will be vacated in either the near or distant future. Seats that are filed on in this manner are usually aisle seats and those close in front of the presiding officer. In the past when a senator liked the seat of some other senator better than his own he would go to the sergeant-at-arms of the senate and file a claim to that seat, should its holder die, resign or fall of re-election to the senate. It really was a horrid sort of custom, and claims have been filed on certain senators' seats for years at a time, being a sort of gamble with fate. ```markdown ``` The rules committee of the senate has now passed a resolution directing the sergeant-at-arms of the senate to cancel all filings and instructing him that hereafter all such are prohibited. Another resolution adopted by the rules committee will limit those senators who are not chairmen of committees to three office rooms in the Senate office building or in the Capitol building. It is said that at the present time some of the senators have four or five office rooms. Sixteenth Street, N. W., Is Now Designated as "Avenue of the Presidents." At the last session of congress the name of Sixteenth street, N. W., was changed to "Avenue of the Presidents," which is so long a name as to make general use impossible. Without doubt, the name of Sixteenth street will continue to be applied to this thoroughfare, because the people of Washington can hardly think of it otherwise. Many have questioned the advantage of the change, and the significance of the new name. No president has ever lived upon this street, and in fact it does not begin until nearly two blocks north of the White House. Standing in its main entrance, however, one may look to the north for a great distance, up this broad street. While the name, "Avenue of the Presidents," may induce ambassadors and other dignitaries to locate upon it, yet the change upsets seriously the plan by which the city streets and avenues were designated. The word "avenue" in Washington carries with it the meaning that a thoroughfare so designated runs at an angle, intersecting the lettered streets running east and west and the numbered streets running north and south, and making possible a direct route from one section of the city to another. As Sixteenth streets runs due north and south, the change in name from street to avenue is misleading. It is to be regretted that street nomenclature in Washington and other cities is so easily changed, when the names which streets have borne have become known the world over.—National Magazine. TENNIS COURTS ARE POPULAR Groups of White-Flanneled Players Can Be Seen There in Pleasant Weather. The public tennis courts of Washington are seldom without players in pleasant weather. During last summer and autumn the number of these courts was increased, and others will be added. Perhaps in crossing the Connecticut avenue bridge or the Calvert street bridge the visitor has seen far below in the valley of Rock creek two tennis courts and active groups of white-flanedne players. Perhaps they have thought that some exclusive tennis club has built these courts in that romantic situation, a place difficult of access until one knows the way. The courts are on the west side of the creek, close under the steep hillside. Pine trees grow along the east side of the courts, while along the west edge a muddy road winds, little used, but now and then traveled by riders or walkers in search of sequestered and picturesque places. The courts are between the bridges. From that location the height of those familiar structures is impressive and one cannot help remarking the massiveness of the piers and arches of the Connecticut avenue bridge and the slender, weblike ironwork of the Calvert street bridge. There is a gentle song from the flowing creek and if there is any wind it sings in those pine trees. When Packing China. Get a number of stout boxes, one fitting in the other, and a quantity of excelsior. Put but a few pieces in each box and embed these in the wrapping material. Place each box inside one larger one, and pack tightly around each one, so that they are well wedged in. The outside box may then be marked and sent safely on its way. HAVE QUEER MANIAS THE LOST PERFUME Burglars Sometimes Seem to Steal for Pure Fun. All Sorts of Articles Taken Which It Would Seem Could Be of Very Little Use to the Daring Maurauders. The tendency nowadays in all trades and industries is toward specialization and London criminals have followed the example of honest men. There is a burglar—still at large, by the way—who takes nothing but old silver. He has ransacked over thirty houses in the aristocratic section of London. One of the houses was that of the Spanish ambassador. Here piles of silver were found collected on a table, yet the only thing that was missing was a silver vase of great age, and worth many times its weight as precious metal. The man must have a very considerable knowledge of old silver and its marks. Recently a man was sentenced for stealing bicycles. So many were found on his premises that a large furniture van was required to bring them to the court. This thief seems to have been a very clever mechanic, for handle-bars, name-plates and pedals were altered all around, making identification a very difficult matter. So far as known, he stole nothing but bicycles. India rubber mats were the especial prey of a man who was sentenced to a year's imprisonment at the London guildhall. Twice before the man had been convicted of a similar offense, yet the moment he was out of prison he went back to the same form of crime. Some of the mats weighed half a hundred pounds and were worth $25 apiece. Cemetery thieves form a class apart. Their prey is the artificial wreaths placed by sorrowing relatives on the graves of their loved ones. From Woodgrange Park cemetery 60 were taken in one night, and 1,200 in a little over a year. The City of London cemetery lost a similar number within seven months. Some of these wreaths, including their cases, cost as much as $25 each. The question is how the thieves dispose of their plunder. Every second-hand book shop knows the book thief. The man who steals books rarely interferes with any other form of property. Only a year ago one of these gentry was sentenced at Peterborough to three years' penal servitude for stealing old books to the value of $500, the property of the dean and chapter of Peterborough cathedral. At Kew and other botanical gardens watch is always kept for the plant thief. One caught at Kew in May, 1912, had two small tins of water fastened under his waistcoat for the purpose of keeping his stolen cuttings alive. Ferry In the Air. An interesting application of aviation to the practical requirements of every-day life is reported from Florida. This is an airboat ferry at Tampa. Three hydroplanes have been put in commission on a commercial basis in a commuters' ferry service at Tampa bay—a 22 mile trip at a mile a minute. Other services of the same sort suggest themselves for other localities. The two prime concerns for a hydroaeroplane ferry are population to furnish the traffic and climate to insure that the water shall remain water. What has been done on Tampa bay could be done as easily and profitably on Delaware and Chesapeake bays, or in the vicinity of Los Angeles and Santa Catalina. Unfortunately a millionaire limited to Lake Forest or a honeymoon express to St. Joe has to figure, through a good part of the year, on ice. French Catholics Active. The Roman Catholic bishops of France have just met in Paris to lay the foundations of a great Catholic party, and to constitute a committee which shall draw up a program to offer to candidates, to watch over absentation from the poll, and, above all, to centralize resources. The movement would appear to have a definite political complexion, says the London Times. Not Guilty. The negro teamster has been arrested for using the whip too freely on the public street. "You are charged with cruelty to animals," said the judge. "How do you plead?" "Why, jedge," answered the prisoner, "I wa'n't crool to no animilles. Them beasts dat I wuz lickin' war mewls."—Buffalo Express. King Ferdinand to Travel. King Ferdinand of Bulgaria, together with Princes Boris and Cyril, probably will visit the San Francisco exhibition next year. It is possible that Queen Eleanore may spend some weeks this spring in the United States, her majesty's visit being connected with various charitable objects. A Friendly Tip. Mistress—I don't want you to have so much company. You have more callers in a day than I have in a week. Domestic—Well, mum, perhaps if you'd try to be a little more agreeable you'd have as many friends as I have. Do You Know That— Near Trouville, in the south of France, are endless fields of flowers that bloom and flourish but for a single day. They grow to yield their fragrance to the perfume distillers, who haunt this region. The vine-clad house of Henri Conde was situated in the midst of a lovely garden bordering the flower fields. Poplar trees sheltered it from the intense heat, and a fountain bubbled and sparkled among the flower beds, now and then casting a misty spray over the thirsty plants. The unrivaled distiller of perfumes dwelt with his young daughter Elizabeth in this pleasant environment, and they were very happy. Each day found Monsieur Conde busily engaged in his laboratory at the foot of the rose garden, striving to obtain a wonderful blending of essences to produce some exquisite perfume. His fame had already spread over the earth, and the perfumes made in the Conde distillery were favored by the courts of Europe. IS PREPARED TO DO ALL KINDS OF On this particular morning in June the maker of perfumes perused the contents of a note which came from the Empress Josephine. This paragraph, particularly, he re-read several times: "I desire, my dear Monsieur Conde, a perfume possessing a spicy odor, free from musk and attar of roses, something delicate, yet characteristic enough to linger with all who ever breathe it into their nostrils." He smiled and gazed through the window toward the flower fields, where the women were filling their huge baskets with the full-blown flowers. So enraptured was he by the scene that the entrance of his daughter Elizabeth was unnoticed. Her beauty in its fragile delicacy rivaled that of the flowers. Always simply attired in white, she made many an artist long to transfer her charms to canvas. Commercial, Fraternal, Church, Book and Stationery Jobs A SPECIALTY Finally Monsieur Conde, being sub-consciously aware of her presence, turned and pleasantly greeted her. "Daughter, we have a new commission from the empress. She desires a perfume such as we have been trying to perfect for years—a delicate aroma combining the scents of flowers with the witchery of eastern perfumes. You, my Elizabeth, possess the ability to mix the essence, knowing intuitively what varieties and proportions blend best to produce a delicate odor. I know the secret of extracting the scents, but to you I shall intrust the mixing. The empress must have a perfume so exquisite that she will never use another, and the formula will be preserved for her descendants alone." Ball and Concert Programs, Bill and Letter Heads, Calling Cards, Wedding Cards, Envelopes and Everything in the Printing Line Turned Out in the Neatest and Best Style Promptly on Short Notice. After many attempts Elizabeth obtained the desired result by combining the scents from 100 flowers. "My daughter," said Henri Conde, "never has there been such a perfume. It is perfect. Do not commit the formula to paper, for none must know it. You remember perfectly the proportions combined?" "Perfectly. I have thought of nothing else for days." They carefully packed the bottle of perfume and sent the gardener personally to deliver it to the empress. We Have Supplied Our Office with New Job Press & Type of Up-to-Date Style and Our Work Will Be on a Par with the Very Best. He brought back a letter stating how pleased she was with the scent and requesting them to send 50 more bottles immediately. Monsieur Conde kissed his fair daughter. "See, my Elizabeth, we are famous at last. Tomorrow we will begin the empress' perfume." But on the morrow Elizabeth was unable to leave her room. Monsieur Conde had not noticed how extremely pale she had grown during the year, nor how slowly she moved about among the flowers. When a week passed and she was still too weak to rise, the father said: "Child, we dare not keep the empress waiting. Tell me the formula and I will combine the essence." Give Us a Trial and We Will Give You Satisfaction She repeated accurately two-thirds of the proportions, then suddenly a strange expression overspread her features and her memory was a blank. In vain the distracted father strove to win her recognition. Eminent physicians were consulted to no avail. Her reason was destroyed. At the sight of flowers a sweet smile would spread across her features, then quickly fade away. One morning a royal messenger arrived bearing a small packet containing a string of pearls for Elizabeth. This was a gift of appreciation from the empress Josephine. Monsieur Conde quietly entered the room and leaned over the sleeping form, intending to clasp the pearls about her neck. He saw that her face was as waxen as the white roses in her arms. Elizabeth slept and there would be no awakening—Jean Douglas in the New York Press. Prices as Reasonable as Those of Any Job Office in Denver Famous American Soldier Famous American Soldier. One hundred years ago March 10 Winfield Scott was promoted to the rank of brigadier general in the American army. General Scott had a longer active career than any other celebrated American commander. At the beginning of the war of 1812 he was a lieutenant colonel of artillery. He commanded in the only two American victories of note that were fought on Canadian soil during the war. He took part in the Seminole war in Florida and in 1841 he was made general-in-chief in command of the American army. On the declaration of war with Mexico in 1846 he planned the campaign and accompanied the army to Vera Cruz. From that point he fought his way to Mexico City, the capture of which ended the war. He remained in command of the army until shortly after the beginning of the Civil war, when he was succeeded by General McClellan. General Scott's death occurred at West Point, N. Y., in 1866.
