FRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN State Historian & Nat.ural History Society A PLEA FOR GOOD TREATMENT FOR OUR CITY'S BENEFACTORS TWENTY-FIRST YEAR A PLEA TREAT CITY Editor Statesman—I note the interest being displayed in the water question, a discussion of which you have invited in your columns. I wish to say a word. I am pleased to see that you are not biased, and that you are willing to be just to the Denver Union Water Company, an attitude, by the way, which is little found in the ordinary discussion of this question. It is all very easy to claim that the water company is a robber concern, but it requires deep prejudice to twist the services of this company to this community so far from their true import. Denver is a new city, grown over a great area, sparsely settled, as compared to most cities, sprung like a mushroom into greatness, yet the water service has kept pace with its growth. I am told, and it looks plausible that for 14 years the stockholders passed the dividends on their money invested, voluntarily depriving themselves of their just due, in order that a greater amount might be expended on the needed extensions. What laboring man would deprive himself of his wages in order to help the community? Yet these capitalists who work through invested capital are now called robbers, where they are really public benefactors. I will not pretend to pass judgment on the equity of the valuation placed upon water plant by the appraisers. Fourteen millions is a large amount, and staggers the mind, but we laymen had better leave such valuation in the hands of trained men like the appraisers rather than contest their judgment merely because the price they set is greater than we can comprehend. The Denver Union Water Company is unfortunate in some of its employes. Sulky, impudent, overbearing inspectors, office help and the like, have given it a name for being tyrannical, and now the dog has the bad name. There are some nice men employed by the water company, but the few undesirables have grown large in --- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1909 the public eye hidden the good men. Voters should discriminate between the set rules of the company and the impudence of its worst agents. By all means let us consider whether the present rates are commensurate with the service rendered and the cost of the same. Let us consider whether we can secure better service under a change of conditions. A continuation of the franchise of the Denver Union Water Company will mean a continuation of conditions we understand. A change means to fly to devils we know not of, and now that Denver is on the threshhold of greatness, with capital seeking investment here, with good citizens pouring in, with the state prospering as never before, contributing to our city's greatness, we need the more to condisaster. Sincerely yours for Greater Denver. A BOOSTER. LA JUNTA, COLO. The N. U. G. Club met at the residence of Mrs. McKenny, and was opened by original quotations.

President Tait has just recently closed a long and most interesting tour through the south and west. He has been making addresses of more or less importance on matters of national concern. Once in awhile he has had something to say upon the race question. He visited Jackson, Miss., where he eulogized the late president of the Confederacy, Jefferson Davis, but we are informed that the Negro citizens of that city failed to enthuse and positively declined to make a spectacular affair of themselves, saying frankly that they did not like the president's Negro policy, and we give them credit for their manhood and honesty. We despise a sycophant. If you don't like a thing, say so. The Freeman doesn't see very much encouragement for the race in the present attitude of the president toward us as a race. He seems to be laboring under the idea that we are yet a child race and must not think ourselves out of the primary department. He figures that for us to lose the franchise in the south wouldn't do the race any special harm, and, besides, if this is accomplished, why, the gain would be enormous for the party. Eleven southern states would be gained for the Republican party and thus the obliteration of the Mason and Dixon line and a sure enough reunited country at the expense of the poor Negro. The Negro who has always been true to the Republican party and has helped to make it what it is and has even helped largely in the election of the present chief executive, is now to be given what his blessed Master had offered him on the cross—"vinegar and gall." From one cause and another the Negro has been a ball, tossed between the political parties of the country, and charges and countercharges have done but little to relieve him. But he is now wounded in the house of his friends." Will he profit by the lesson? We shall see what we shall see.—Indianapolis (lud.) Freeman. PROMOTION FOR B. O. DAVIS. Tenth Cavalry's First Lieutenant Assigned to New Post at Monrovia. The war department has detailed FIVE CENTS A COPY First Lieutenant Benjamin O. Davis, Tenth cavalry, now stationed at Fort Ethan Allen, Vt., to the legation of the United States at Monrovia, Liberia, as military attache. The success of the European powers, as shown by the report of the recent commission sent by this government to Liberia, in effectively controlling the many tribes of natives who inhabit the African interior, chiefly by means of military bodies in the nature of a police force or constabulary organized from among the natives themselves and officered by Europeans, has created a desire on the part of this government to study the methods of the colonial authorities in Africa and the organization of their military forces with a view to the utilization of such information as may be so obtained in dealing with the native inhabitants of our own tropical possessions, where conditions somewhat similar to those in the interior of tropical Africa obtain, having especial reference to the southern portions of the Philippine islands; hence the sending of Lieutenant Davis to Monrovia, which appears to be the most available place for the detail of an American army officer and the one affording the best opportunities for the purpose of this government. The republic of Liberia has requested the assistance of the United States in organizing a police force of its own, and the presence of an American military man at Monrovia will be of great assistance to the government in working out the details of such a plan of assistance should the government, upon a full consideration of the Liberian commission's report, decide to comply with Liberia's request. Industrial Home's Successful Fair. The third annual fair and turkey dinner, which was given for the benefit of the Industrial Home For Afro-American Girls at Pittsburg Thursday, Dec. 9, under the auspices of the board of managers, was an encouraging success. Dinner was served from 11 a. m. to 3 p. m. and, besides being cooked in a very appetizing manner, included many of the choicest things of the season. The booths at the fair in the evening consisted of a candy booth, a fancy booth, a prize booth, a Japanese tea booth in charge of the young women's auxiliary, which has already donated $170 to the home; a china booth and ice cream booth and a fancy trimmed hat booth. Orphan Asylum's Annual Dinner. The annual southern dinner of the Brooklyn Howard Colored Orphan asylum, which is considered one of the most important social events of the institution, will be given this year on Wednesday, Nov. 17, under the ladies' auxiliary to the board of managers. Superintendent James H. Gordon is conducting the affairs of the asylum in an able and businesslike manner and has the confidence of the public. HUMOR FROM OVER WATER Some Samples That Seem to Disprove Englishmen Have No Sense of Wit. We spoke last Sunday of the Pall Mall Gazette’s funny column. Mr. C. E. Jerningham’s “Maxims of Marma- duke” gives a more cheerful view of English wit and humor. Here are two or three samples: “Almost every Englishman imag- ines he is moral because he objects to immortality—in others.” ; “He who is drunk in a first-class carriage has had a fit; he who has had a fit in a third-class carriage is drunk!” “Man—a biped with prejudices— which he calls principles.” Here is a quotation from “Woman as a Work of Art”: “Since her return from the restorers at Homburg Mrs. B.—has, as we ex- pected she would, greatly improved. We are now able to detect the delicate coloring and the eleborate workman- ship which were before obscured by unnecessary varnish. In Mrs. B— the nation has secured an important example of the New York school. She possesses considerable freedom of style, but her middle distance is a trifle pompous.”—Boston Herald. WILD BEASTS BECOME PLAGUE Enforcement of Japanese Edicts Leaves Koreans at the Mercy of Jungle Prowlers. We learn from the Jiji that as a result of the prohibition against the carrying of firearms by Koreans, and also against the importation of rifles, fowling pieces, and ammunition from Japan, with a view of preventing the insurgents obtaining further supplies of arms and ammunition, the hunting of wild game in Korea has been en- tirely stopped. In consequence a rap: id increase in the number of wild beasts is taking place, and tigers and wolves are being constantly met with in the fields in the interior, thus ren- dering traveling in these parts ~ ex- tremely dangerous. The havoc wrought by tigers is particularly evi- dent in Ping-au province, where no less than 33 persons have been at acked by these animals lately. At one place a tiger entereu\the house of a farmer and killed a baby. The au thorities in Korea are becoming alarmed at the rapid increase in the number of wild animals, and have made niquiries of the zoological de partment in the College of Science in the Tokio Imperial university regard ing the best means for the destruction of tigers and wolves. Weasels the Pets of Trappers. In the Macmillan region an adult male Arctic weasel was taken in a cabin near the mouth of Russell creek. “It poked its head out between the small holes of the floor and quietly surveyed a party of us as we sat in the candlelight one evening after sup- per. It then vanished for a moment and reappeared with its mate, and the pair ran about the room for some minutes as unconcernedly as if we had not been there. Later in the night, after we had gone to bed, it stepped into a trap set in the corner of the room and awoke us by its shrill cries. Trappers encourage weasels to live about their cabins, making pets of them and greatly valuing their serv. ices in keeping the premises free from mice,” THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO.

Closed by hand-shaking. Miss Hattie Hill has returned from Quindaro, Kansas, on account of her mother's illness. Mr. and Mrs. Swagerty entertained in honor of their daughter, Elsie. Mrs. Swagerty proved to be a model hostess. A pleasant time was enjoyed by all present. Mrs. D. G. Bray was the delightful hostess at 1 o'clock dinner last Wednesday in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Phil Morran. The guests were Rev. and Mrs. J. S. Payne and Mr. Bray and Miss Marguerite Graves. Mr. and Mrs. Phil Morran left last Wednesday afternoon for an extended visit on the coast. Miss Irene Philips and J. W. Young are indisposed this week. Mrs. Eva Washington, of Rocky Ford, was visiting her aunt, Mrs. Mary Scott, this week. Mr. David Bashfield is suffering from a severe attack of asthma. There will be a baby concert Thursday evening at St. John's A. M. E. church under the auspices of the Sunday School. Mrs. Hattie Reed, one of St. John's faithful members, is indisposed at this writing. ALBUQUERQUE NEWS Mrs. Johnnie Cornell, after a sojourn of several weeks visiting friends and relatives in California, returns very much improved in health. Mrs. Rosa Miller left for her home in Fort Worth, Texas, last week. Mrs. Miller came to our city several months ago for her health, but she came too late to be benefited by our glorious climate. She was a sufferer of tuberculosis. Rev. J. H. Bell, the Baptist missionary for this territory, was in the city last week on business connected with his church. Rev. H. H. Jones has returned after a pleasant trip to Los Angeles, and a good crowd was out to hear his first THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. sermon after his arrival, and indeed it was a soul-stirring effort that filled the heart with the love of Christ. Rev. Jones is an able divine. Rev. A. A. Henderson, who has pastored the Mt. Olive church for about a year, tendered his resignation at the church meeting at the edifice last Monday evening. Rev. Henderson has done good work while in charge of Mt. Olive church, having started and nearly completed the new cement block edifice. On the 7th of last month a grand rally and cornerstone laying service was held by Rev. Henderson and the church, and we trust that ere long the church which is now under construction will be completed and occupied by the members of Mt. Olive church. Rev. Henderson has not just decided what his immediate future will be, but he expects to remain in the city for a short time. The reverend has made a good citizen and we would like for him to remain in our city. Mrs. W. L. Watkins left Tuesday for Columbus, Ohio, to spend the winter with friends and relatives. The city is putting in a large sewerage system which is giving employment to a large number of needy men. Mrs. Geo. Freeman, after a lingering illness of consumption, died last Friday and the funeral services were held at Strong's undertaking parlors Sunday afternoon, Rev. A. A. Henderson officiating, assisted by Rev. J. H. Bell. Interment at Fairview cemetery. Representative Hamilton of Michigan presents to congress a very liberal bill for statehood for New Mexico, yet the bill does not carry with it a full and specific protection of the Negroes' rights in the event that the bill does pass and become an enabling act. All Negroes of the territory are earnestly requested to read this bill carefully, and then send to some senator or representative now in congress a letter with your objection to the present bill or a suggestion with some clause that you desire to be added. We notice that our civil rights are not included in the bill. We want no Jim Crow cars nor separate street cars. Let those New England senators and representatives whom you think will assist us know our wants. Let them know that we want no Oklahoma constitution for New Mexico. The Masons, at East Turner Hall, Dec. 27, give the big event of the holidays. Meet your friends there. Young Amateur's First Appearance. One of the most enjoyable affairs of Thanksgiving week was the cantata given by a committee of ladies at Sumner hall for the benefit of the Lincoln settlement work. The title of the cantata was "A Merry Company; or, Cadets' Picnic," which was rendered in three acts by seventeen young misses and boys. It was their first public appearance. The tambourine drill by seven girls was a feature of the occasion. Mrs. Georgia M. De Baptiste, head worker of the settlement house, was director of music. Miss Martha B. Upson, who instructed the young amateurs, deserves much credit for the thorough and effective manner in which each performer rendered his part. The settlement work is principally supported by voluntary contributions and by the proceeds from occasional entertainments.

Advancement For Two Able Women. The position left vacant by the resignation of Miss Frances Jenkins at Howard university has been filled by the election of Miss Julia Martin as instructor in methods, pedagogy and nature study in the Teachers' college. Miss Martin has taught for five years in the state normal school of Michigan at Ypsilanti and Mount Pleasant, Columbia university, New York, from which she recently graduated. In personality, equipment and experience Miss Martin is well fitted for the growing work of the Teachers' college at Howard. Miss Jenkins has accepted the position of assistant superintendent of schools in Decatur, Ill. The recent meeting of the Ladies' Aurora Reading circle which was held at the home of Mrs. Jesse Gray on Camp street, Herron Hill, Pittsburg, was a splendid success. The literary spirit is growing among them. A number of interesting papers were read and discussed. After a social hour the circle adjourned to meet Dec. 14 at the home of Mrs. Mortimer Dimmey on East street, North Side. Lineup of Negro Manhood Shows Relative Position of Some Who Have Made Good in the Government Service—Business and Professional Men In Abundance—Three Noted Characters. No one could have beheld the guests seated at the splendid Lyon-Scott banquet recently held in Washington without at once realizing that the Negro in the United States is unmistakably a participant of the great progress that has come to this country. J. Safe and conservative estimates of the salaries of some of those present would warrant the following classification: Salaries of $4, 000 per annum and over: LEWIS E. JOHNSON. 600 per annum and over: John C. Dancy, recorder of deeds; Ernest Lyon, United States minister to Liberia; I. B. Scott, bishop of M. E. church; R. W. Tyler, auditor for United States navy department; W. T. Vernon, register United States treasury, and Booker T. Washington, principal of Tuskegee institute. There are several professional and business men who were present that may be put in the above class. It is difficult, however, to form a fair estimate of men who have not stated salaries. Salaries ranging from $2,000 to $3,500: R. C. Bruce, assistant superintendent of Washington schools; J. A. Cobb, assistant United States district attorney; George W. Cook, secretary of Howard university; W. Bruce Evans, principal of Armstrong Manual Training school; A. H. Glenn, director of THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. languages in Washington schools; w. C.

Gibbs, exUnited States consul to Madagascar, and Major C. A. Fleetwood of civil war fame. Progress was indicated in every phase of the banquet, from the taking of the flashlight by Scurlock, the young photographer, to the departure of Booker Washington in a mammoth motorcar, accompanied by Bishop Scott. Private Secretary Emmett Scott and James A. Cobb, the assistant United States district attorney. Liberal Expenditures For Schools. During the current year 1909 the public school authorities of Washington have expended for colored school sites amounts as follows: For addition to site of Armstrong Mechanical High school, $3,837: for addition to site of Lovejoy school, $3,500: for addition to site of Phillips school, $15,120: total, $22,457. Recommendations for a new colored normal school, a new colored business high school and for extensive additions to the M street high school are being considered by the board of education. Tuskegee Negro Conference Jan. 19. For a number of years the annual meeting of the Tuskegee (Ala.) Negro conference has been held in February. The date for the 1910 conference, however, has been announced for Jan. 1920. Inclusive. Friends of the movement together with its members are urged to call the attention of the public to the change in the date so that there may be no falling off in the attendance.

CONTEE, PRESIDENT, R. E. HANDY, LICENSED EM- BALMER. PAGE 2 SAID BY THE YOUNG BROTHER Jamie Evidently Had Taken to Heart Story Told by His Elders. Little Jamie was very sore that his beloved sister should neglect him for a young man, who held her hand for an hour at a time, while he himself was banished to the hall—whence, however, he watched through a crack! One evening at dinner Uncle Joe told a funny story. Here it is: "A workingman reproached his wife for letting her neighbor inconvenience her by borrowing her washtub when she (its owner) needed it herself. "'I can't help it,' replied his spouse. 'Mrs. Brown isn't a woman you can say "no" to.' "'I'll say "no" to her,' quoth the man, valiantly. "But when he saw Mrs. Brown's sour face his heart sank. Still, his wife being behind him, he must show his manhood. So he stammered rapidly: "We—we can't lend you the loan of our washtub. In the first place, we haven't got one. And the bottom of it is out, and we—we're just going to use it ourselves.'" Jamie pondered, while the grown-ups laughed. Soon after came the ring at the doorbell he had grown to hate. He ran to meet the young man. Pushing his sister back, he cried: "You can't see our Mary. In the first place she hasn't been born—and she's gone out—and—and—I'm holding her hand myself." OF GOOD AND BAD EFFECT Frenchman's Idea Is That Names Have Distinct Influence on Character of Child. Onomatology is a science or game exploited of late by a Frenchman of scientific leanings—M. de Rochetal. Onomatology deals with the effect of names on characters. M. de Rochetal's idea is that, Shakespeare notwithstanding, there is a good deal in a name, and that the name given to a child at birth in some measure determines his or her character. Calling one's offspring Abel, for instance, means that the child will develop into a bandit. Emile, Armand, Pierre, Rene, Louis, Jean are excellent names. The Jules have a special aptitude for politics, the Henris are chivalrous and generous, the Edwards energetic and preserving. There are names of evil augury, such as Alice, which denotes a senual temperament, subject to gloomy ideas and suicide. Helen is another. From her of Troy onward the Helens have generally ended badly, says M. de Rochetal. His studies, he thinks, will be useful to parents and also to those about to marry, for, as the inventor seeks to prove in his pamphlet, whereas Juliette and Pierre will go well in double harness, Albert will inevitably fall out with Suzaune or Blanche and Marguerite will not get on well with Henri. Just "Loved to Seeng." "One of the most persistent singers we ever had for a cook was a girl from St. Kitts. Agnes was her name. Agnes was a good girl. I should have liked to keep her if only I could have learned to appreciate her musical ability. She had left a sweetheart down in the British possessions. Conse- THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO quently her sentimental moonings materialized in love songs. "‘How much will it cost,’ said I to her one day, ‘to get that young man of yours up to New York? If you'll stop singing I'll advance you enough money to bring him up here.’ "Agnes stopped singing then for about two minutes. "‘Oh, Mistah Green,’ she said, 'you' ve'y kin', but I could neve' stop seengin'. I loves to seeng. If Joseph comes to Ame'icay we seeng togethe.' "That settled it. I didn't bring Joseph to New York, and I shipped Agnes back to St. Kitts." Scared to Death by Pet Coon. A curious case of an old woman being frightened to death by a pet coon occurred near Greensboro, Ala., a few nights ago. After she had retired to her bed, and while there was no light in the room, the old lady saw an object crawl over the bed toward her. She slapped it and pushed it back, but it came again. The woman then became frightened and got out of her bed, when, to her dismay, she discovered that the thing was still pursuing her. Thinking surely that it was a "haunt," she screamed, and other people on the place ran to her. By the time that any one got there she was so overcome with fright that she could scarcely speak, and died shortly after. It was learned that the object that had been following her was a pet coon. Hudson's Humor. The Half-Moon had passed several tugs pulling a half-dozen coal barges up the river. Hudson, after viewing them through his glass, came down from the bridge. "Well, Vanderdonckenheinerstein," he remarked with a twinkle in his eye, "I think we will soon be in sight of the foot of the river." "Why so, commodore?" asked the mate, unsuspecting. "I have just observed several large tows on the starboard side," said the great explorer. Whereupon the mate, with a scowling visage, opened a fresh jug of schnapps. Achilles Confesses. The doctor had informed Achilles that his wound was not at all serious. "It's only in your heel, general," said he. "You may limp a little for a while, but—" "No, doctor," moaned Achilles. "It is all up with me. I am mortally wounded." "Nonsense," said the doctor. "Why there are no vital organs in your feet." "There were in mine, doctor," wept the soldier. "Ever since this dinged old scrap began I've been going around with my heart in my boots." Whereupon he turned over and expired. The Sixth Sense. Doctor Waldo of London holds that people should develop a sixth sense to inform them of the approach of danger in the streets. Lafacdio Hearn once said: "While in a crowd I seldom look at faces. My intuition is almost infallible—like that blind faculty by which in absolute darkness one becomes aware of the proximity of bulky objects without touching them. If I hesitate to obey it, a collision is the inevitable consequence. What pilots one quickly and safely through a thick press is not conscious observation at all, but unreasoning intuitive perception." The Leader Cafe MRS. L. LACY AND MRS. S. E. JAMES, Proprietors D.

Dr. Ford, who spent nearly two weeks in Jacksonville, Florida, is home, and her description of the homes, the businesses, and the churches of the people of that city is wonderful to hear. Negroes doing business that runs up to $200 per day gross, seems to the Northern man a dream. Yet it is so. Homes with billiard rooms and ball rooms, automobiles, blooded horses and all that appertain thereto. The Southern Negro as exemplified by Jacksonville people is a marvel.

The Board of Directors of the Alliance feels that in keeping with the spirit of progress and advancement that the negro should be as intelligent on all questions as any other American citizen. There is no question demanding our attention that is more vital than the present ravages of consumption. And we, as the greatest sufferers, should be acquainted with the conditions and seek to eradicate the disease that is decimating our ranks. Consequently the board has arranged with our local colored physicians to read a series of papers on this subject endeavoring to acquaint the people with the dangers and warn them to flee from the consequences of ignorance. The papers will be the same as those read before the Colorado State Association for the Prevention and Cure of Tuberculosis. December 19. Current literature.

PROVISIONS PAG1.6 THE FROG A VENTRILOQUIST Provision of Nature That Furnishes Him a Protection from His Natural Enemies. While pioneering in South Brazil, Mr. Withers was struck by the low and plaintive cry of some creature calling in the night. He was at first impressed with the idea that it was the cry of a child, but the tones soon convinced him that this could not be the case. "I had never heard," he says, "a more pure and liquid musical sound than this was. The pleasing effect upon the ear was but little diminished on learning by what animal it was produced. The vocalist was a frog; and soon another from a more distant spot took up the strain, and the two sang together, now in solos, now in chorus. "Curious to see this musical frog, I took a torch from the fire and went to look for him. I arrived at the spot whence the sound was proceeding, but as I stopped to search the grass the music seemed to float away in another place some yards distant. "I followed, and still the sound moved, and nowhere could I discover whence it came. I searched for nearly a quarter of an hour, without being able to fix the spot, and then I gave up in despair. "The fact is, this frog is recognized to be a ventriloquist of no common order. I have many a time since heard him crying in broad daylight, and the power of ventriloquism is no doubt given him as a protection against the numerous cranes and other frog enemies that would otherwise be guided by the sound and soon render the species extinct." Broad Hint by No Means Sufficient to Oust Visitor from Comfortable Quarters. Jerry McCartie was often the guest of friends who on account of his pleasant ways extended to him that sort of old Irish hospitality which enabled a visitor in my own family who came for a fortnight to stay for six years, says a London Tit-Bits. In McCartie's case the visit stretched to nearly double that time. After eight or nine years, however, his kinsman got a little tired of his guest and let him know of his old mansion's proposed renovation, saying that he had signed a contract for having it painted from garret to cellar. "By George!" said Jerry, "it's fortunate that I don't object to the smell of paint, and it will be well to have someone to keep an eye on the painters now that the wall-fruit is ripening." Some months passed. Then his host informed him that he was going to be married, adding., "I thought I'd tell you in good time, so that you could make leisurely preparations to go, as the lady and you may not hit it off as well as you and I do." With tearful eyes Jerry grasped his cousin's hand, saying:— "Oh, Dan, dear, you have my hearty thanks for your consideration; but, dear, dear boy, surely if you can put up with her I can." Kings of the Jews. The official style of Herod L., the Great, was King of Judea, this being conferred upon him by the Romans; but there is little likelihood that the Roman senate understood that any THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. difference might exist between king of Judea and king of the Jews. Viewing the situation in the popular and not official sense of the term, Herod was so little king of the Jews that the day of his death became a popular national festival. Saul, David and Solomon as kings of all Israel were kings of the Jews. After Solomon and the division of the kingdom the line of the kings of Israel extended from Jereboam to Hoshea, ending at the captivity (721 B. C.), the kings of Judah from Rehoboam to Zedekiah, 599 B. C. After the captivity the style of king of the Jews was first assumed by Judas Hyreanus Aristobulus (107 B. C.) and after his death by his son Aristobulus (70 B. C.), who reigned until overthrown by Pompey. This second Aristobulus of the Maccabean dynasty was the last to bear the official designation of the king of the Jews. French Law as to Property. According to French law a certain reserve is established which no testator can bequeath away from his offspring. A Frenchman with one child can dispose of half his property according to his pleasure; the other half must inevitably pass to the child. Those with two children can dispose of only one-third of their property, those with three children of one-fourth and so on, according to the size of the family. Stern parents occasionally seek to evade the law by subterfuge; but the disposal of property in France is hedged round with so many restrictions that family black sheep are rarely mulcted of their legal inheritance. Truthful James. In one instance, at least, bad spelling enabled an office boy to express the precise fact. His employer had just reluctantly left to attend a meeting of the bank directors where the proceedings were sure to be long and prosy. "James," he said to the tow-headed lad, "put up the sign that I am out." James sought for it in vain, so he inscribed and posted the following truthful announcement: Out—Gone to a Bored Meeting.—Lippincott's. For Writing Permanent Records Stylus and Wooden Tablets Were Then in Vogue. The ancient Romans commonly wrote with a metal point (stylus) on wooden tablets covered with wax (tabulae), but permanent records were written on parchment with a reed pen and liquid pigment, or ink. At Haltem in Westphalia, near the site of the Aluso fortress erected by Drusus in the year 11 B. C., was recently found a bronze vessel containing a dried black mass, which Prof. Kessner has decided to be Roman ink. The mass was found to consist of chiefly of soot and tannate of iron. It also contained smaller quantities of ferric oxide, copper oxide, clay, magnesia, gypsum, phosphoric acid, carbonic acid, alkalies and sand. These ingredients probably represent chiefly accidental impurities which have found their way into the old inkstand, but some of them may be due to the chemical action of the ink on the bronze vessel. The presence of an aromatic substance suggests that the ink was imported from Italy, where the use of perfumed ink was common.—Scientific American. THE NEEDMORE CLUB CALEB ALLEN, Prop. & Mgr.

The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that "theirs is the same" or "just as good") or referred to "PORO."

President Asks Authority to Appoint Commission to Outline Plans. President Taft has given his cordial endorsement to the proposed semicentennial exposition suggested for 1913 to mark the progress the Negro has made in the fifty years of his freedom and to indicate the wonderful advance the race has made since its landing in this country nearly 300 years ago. The movement was called to the attention of the president not long ago by Dr. Booker T. Washington. In his first annual message to congress President Taft said of the proposed demonstrative exposition: "The year 1913 will mark the fiftieth anniversary of the issuance of the emancipation proclamation which gave freedom to the Negroes in the United States. It seems fitting that this event should be properly celebrated. Already a movement has been started by prominent colored people and newspapers not only in the south, but in other parts of the country. The south especially is manifesting its interest in such a celebration. "It is suggested that a proper form of celebration would be an exposition which would show the progress which the millions of Negroes have made not only during their period of freedom, but which would also indicate their progress from the time of their coming to this country. "I heartily indorse the proposed exposition and suggest that the executive be authorized to appoint a preliminary commission of not more than seven persons to consider carefully whether or not it is wise to hold such an exposition, and, if so, to outline a plan for the enterprise. I further recommend that such preliminary commission serve without salary except as to their actual expenses and that an appropriation be made to meet such expenses." CAPABLE BUSINESS WOMAN.

The fault can only should be as late as Monday in reach commercially dwarming them. In her section of the country there are hundreds of Afro-American young women who are especially qualified to bring something real tangible to pass, but they await the opportunity to become pedagogues, else they are dependent upon their parents. Mrs. Buchanan graduated from the millinery department of Tuskegee and with marked success made a specialty of teaching millinery after graduating from this noted institution. She has had twelve years of experience as a pedagogue in the states of Indiana, Ohio and Alabama and in all instances endeavored to teach her students the gospel of "self help." Her present establishment is an inspiration to any one who admires the kind of pluck and energy that result in helping others to develop qualities that are not deterrent to a progress that is synonymous to success. There are employed six intelligent and ambitious young women in this establishment, and through the training they have received from Mrs. Buchanan they are proving themselves capable of holding positions in any first class millinery store. One upon entering this beautiful store would not readily conceive the idea that such an establishment was strictly owned by an Afro-American woman and largely patronized by women of her race, but would think it was for an exclusive element of the other race. She is a worthy example for young women to emulate. GEORGE F. KING. Charitable Work of Mrs. C. H. Turner.

A movement is being engineered by leading colored men in various parts of the world looking to the calling together in Cairo, Egypt, of a congress of representatives of all the colored races to discuss the problems and the remedies for their solution which retard the civil and political and industrial progress of these darker races where such problems exist. The conference is to be held not later than the spring of 1911 and will continue for a month. The getting together of a congress of this character and magnitude will necessarily entail much labor and a tremendous amount of correspondence. RESTAURANT... Only the ablest, most thoughtful and most progressive men of the darker races will be invited to participate in the deliberations of this congress, and the greatest care will be exercised by the promoters in the selection of its members. Just now there is considerable unrest among the darker peoples, especially in Asia, Africa, the West Indies and America. That Cairo, Egypt, should be selected for this gathering is significant. The sessions of the congress will be held in secret and will continue for thirty days. The call is signed by representatives from Turkey, Japan, China, India, West, Central and North Africa, Burma, Sumatra, Java, Madagascar, the West India islands, South and Central America and Mexico.
