Chicago, March 14, 1907. Dear Friend:— As per request of Prof. T. W. Hi- Williams, our Kansas City agent, we are herewelling enclosing to you some printed information pertaining to the Black Diamond Development company. The pamphlet of the managers report of November 14 covers quite a history of the Black Diamond Development company from the date of in- corporation up to that time, which will give you a very good idea of what this company has done. Since the issuing of this report I wish to say that well No. 6 has been drilled and finished and proves to be another good gas well; also the con- necting up of our wells to the Kansas Natural Gas company's pipe line has been pushed with all energy and is nearing completion. This work would have been compiled much sooner, but account of the high water in the Neosho river and the bad weather which has prevailed in Kansas for several weeks, we have been unable to get pipe delivered from the city of Chanute, to our properties, six miles east. Fred A. Westcott, our manager, just returned from the Kansas field last Wednesday where he spent several days looking after the interests of the company, and the work that is being done is certainly very gratifying, and, barring accidents and unavoidable delays Kansas City will be burning Black Diamond company's gas within the next 30 days. Every stockholder will join us in JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION NOTES JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION N.Y. W. G. Smith, artistic painter and interior decorator, of Cleveland, Ohio, will have an interesting exhibit of designs made especially for this occasion. He has had twenty years of active experience, and stands high in his calling—one in which few men of the race are engaged. He has had charge of the interior decoration of many public auditoriums and private dwellings in different sections of the country, and his work is entirely satisfactory. The embellishment of the St. Thomas Episcopal church in Chicago and the beautiful decorations in the home of the late Senator M. A. Hanna in Cleveland, are samples of what he can do in his line. At Jamestown, Mr. Smith will have two artistic ceiling designs, two types of mural decoration, and five panels, showing five different grains of wood used in making up the decoration scheme in buildings of various kinds. Mrs. D. A. C. Jones, of Washington, D. C., an energetic business woman, who entered the hotel business twenty years ago with fifty cents and has now amassed a fortune of over $70,000, is collecting an unique exhibit, and will give much of her time to the work of making the Negro department a success. In 1776, when the Colonial army un rejoicing over the good work which has been done by this company in its first year of existence, and the grand success we have made. The time will come in the near future when the name of Black Diamond Development company will be heralded in every community throughout the United States as one of the grand successes achieved by "Grace, Greenbucks and Grit." The Black Diamond Development company is another strong example of cooperation and consolidation of brains, money and energy, to which everystockholder has contributed his or her share in building its success. In regard to there being any stock for sale will say, that there is a small amount of stock which can be had if taken at once, price being 35c per share with an allowance of 10 per cent discount for cash in amounts of $100.00 or more. In addition to this will say that there will be no stock for sale in a very short time as the company's finances are in good condition, as with the amount of stock now under contract will have sufficient money for all necessary needs to put on a dividend paying basis, and consequently the sale of stock will be closed as soon as the last share of this block of stock is contracted for. Hoping you will give this matter your immediate consideration and advise me of your wishes, I remain. A. WILBEFORCE WILLIAMS, President. der General George Washington moved forward to overtake the British under General Gates, a gun of curious make was left at the camp, which happened to be on the outskirts of a farm owned by a colored man, John Lewis by name. This gun, which has been preserved in the family of John Lewis as a sacred heirloom, has been kindly loaned to the Negro Exhibit, and will be found in the Negro Building at Jamestown. Scores of relics of the Revolutionary and Civil Wars, related to incidents in which Negroes have had a part will be among the striking exhibits in the Negro Building at Jamestown. The field agents are asking prominent citizens of the various states to cooperate with them in the work of collecting exhibits, and are meeting with favorable responses at the hands of the substantial people everywhere. In answer to numerous requests, the Committee states that there are no funds to be used in paying persons for making exhibits for miscellaneous advertising, holding meetings, etc. All of the available funds are used in the construction and maintenance of the building at Jamestown, the employment of the few field agents for the transportation of exhibits to the building. Much of the work done by individuals must of necessity, be a labor of love and a contribution to a cause which carries benefits in which every member of the race will share in equal proportion. A $2,000 RALLY The following business and professional men of Kansas City have signified their willingness to assist the Y. M. C. A. in raising $2,000 by the first of June as a building fund. That the public may know who is interested in this effort we will print the names and the amounts paid in cash and pledged to be paid by June first. The ministers, physicians, teachers, barbers, mail carriers, postoffice employees, hotel men, police and firemen. Executive Board Y. M. C. A.: Edward Ross, James A. Lee, John Hibbord, D. C. Kirby, James Ford, J. W. Roberts. INDEPENDENCE NOTES. Rev. Brown, pastor of the M. E. church preached a noble sermon last night, it being his last sermon for this conference year. Rev. Mrs. Fannie Brown and daughter and Mrs. Cox are visiting in Denver, Colorado. Miss Ida Tucker who has been quite ill since the death of her father is able to leave her home again. The churches are having quite a success here with protracted effort. Dr. Phenix has quite a practice here, we hope the report about him going to leave our city isn't true. Parents open your eyes, it will soon be time to elect teachers again. Prof. Chinn and wife of Glaseco visited in our city Sunday. CAPT. WEBER EXONERATED. Capt. Weber at No. 1 Police Station who was up before the Board on the charge of Allowing Gambling to be conducted in building of which he is onwer was completely exonerated to the general satisfaction of the entire community. The Negro's were especially pleased to have such a man retained on the force. Besides his long years of successful service, He has been a good friend of the Negroes. He has helped the good Negro citizen to get rid of the bad Negro. In his dealings with the Negroes at the Station he has been entirely fair to the black man. He has always gives the eering Negro a chance. The entire Negro race is glad that he has been retained. PROGRESS THE WATCHWORD OF TIME [Picture of a man in a suit and bow tie]. A. T. MOORE. The A. T. Moore Undertaking Co., at 1820 E. 18th St., will have one of the finest and most up-to-date establishment of its kind this side of the Mississippi river, when they complete the beautiful new four room brick addition, which is now being constructed, and make all the repairs in the adjacent building which have been contemplated. Mr. Moore who is at the head of that firm, is an energetic, and thrifty business man. He came to the city a few years ago, since which time he has demonstrated to the world his ability as an enbahner and a funeral director. The Son highly complements Mr. Moore's strong race pride; he devalues and insists that the race should stand by the Negro business enterprises and patronize them. The beauty of this is that he is putting into practice what he is preaching. All the men now at work in the construction of the new building; such as stone masoness, brick layers, carpenters and etc., are Negroes. The new additions will cost over $1,000,000, and will be of great credit to the race and community. The unique arrangement of the departments, the plans, and etc., are the ideas of Mr. Moore. The following brief description will give a general idea of the place. There is private office and reception room with lady attendant, the chapel in which will be the special fancy glass show cases built from the flour to the ceiling. The state room is next in rotation, then comes the morgue. To the east of these two room will be the triming room, workshop and storage room. To the west will be a long hall leading from the chapel to back end of the building, the stare room, morgue and the capel each will have donole entrance; one from the hall and one from room to room. The race should feel very proud to know that the establishment will afford just as good accommodations as can be given by any regardless of color. An article in the National Mirror saying, "Countie Bros. have purchased The Rising Son, and that they got it from reliable source. I start out by saying that it is absolute falsehood, and I there could have been no reliable source save myself. Mr. Wm. T. Washington the owner of The Rising Son rents a portion of our building. He also pays his rent. I have had the highest respect for the gentlemen of the National Mirror, but I say that they have greatly deceived me by publishing this article without accertaining the truth. Not only do I use this manner of denial, but I called Mr. Bailey up asking him to repute the statement. If Mr. Bailey or Harris is jealous of Mr. Washington I wished they would not use my name in order to get back at him. Hoping the approval of the public. C. H. COUNTEE, of countee Bros. Mr. Percy D. Crump another of the young men who has joined the Rising Son. Mr. Crump will have charge of all soliciting and all the printing. In addition to the publication of news, we are endeavoring to do all the printing of cards, booklets, programs. [Name] and stationary. Mr. Crump is an other product of Kansas City, a graduate of Lincoln High School, and young man who took the business course at St. Joseph, Mo., and completed it in 14 months. The colored people of this city should feel proud of the fact that this paper is gath-ing on its staff such intelligent young men. Mr. Crump can be found in the office any time you feel like calling upon him and have any business to transact in his line. The colored grocerman is located at 921 Independence Ave., with a fresh stock of fancy groceries and salt meats. Give him a call R. Smith, Proo. Mr. Horace W. Folden is Society Editor of the Rising Son. Any one having parties or social gatherings, please 'phone 789 Main or 780 Grand and we will send to your residence to take an account of the proceedings. Mr. Edward Baker, Jr., is collector for the Rising Son. Please pay him your subscription and tell him where he can get a new subscription. Now don't give him the same old song that you stopped the paper six months ago or ordered it stopped. Stolen sweets are often hard to digest. The more you try to please some people the greater will be your failure. There is usually but one end to a woman's line of talk—and that is the beginning. The supply of adjectives in the English language is found insufficient for the girl to properly describe her hirst beak. Many a man growls a good deal about having to support a wife who works eighteen hours a day trying to help support him. NUMBER 27 THE SCHOOL LUNCH APPETIZING AND DAINTY FOR THE CHILDREN. Many Little Things That Will Afford a Welcome Change in the Noon- day Repast of the Small Girl and Boy. SANDWICHES. — Chop very fine some cooked ham or cold corn beef or tongue with a little fat. Mix one tea- spoonful of dry mustard and one salt- spoonful of salt with cold water to a paste; add a tablespoonful of creamed butter. Spread thin slices of bread with the mustard and butter paste; then spread with the ham, tongue or orned beef. APPLE SANDWICHES — After peeling the apples, allowing one for a sandwich, chop them up fine with a little celery, one stalk to an apple, mixed in. Beat into the yolk of an egg a little mustard, oil and vinegar, making a paste thinner than mayonnaise. Season to taste with salt and pepper and mix with the chopped apple and celery. Spread between two layers of thin buttered bread. Pear sandwiches may also be made in the same way. FIG AND NUT SANDWICHES — After coring the dried figs, chop into fine bits with any kind of available nuts. Add enough cream to form into a paste. These sandwiches cannot be kept from one day to another. EGG SANDWICHES—After hard-boiling several eggs, separate the yolk from white and season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour on enough olive oil to form a paste. Spread onto thinly cut and buttered slices of bread. Take half the whites and a few pickles. Chop into fine bits and sprinkle on top the egg paste. Then lay on another slice of bread. WATERCRESS SANDWICHES — Chop into fine bits any sort of available meat, ham preferred. Let the watercress be fresh and crisp. Pull the leaves from the stems and cover with a French dressing. First spread the chopped meat on the bread and then lay on the watercress, which should be allowed to drain in a plate for a few minutes before being spread. An orange sleeve through the middle and sprinkled with powdered sugar, then laid between slices of bread, makes a delicious and refreshing sandwich. BAKED BEAN SANDWICHES — When the baked beans are perfectly cold make a tart dressing of oil and vinegar, slightly dampen the beans and spread between slices of buttered bread. FISH SALAD SANDWICH — The cold fish should be dressed exactly as the beans, with a little French dressing. CREAM CHEESE SANDWICH — This is very easy to fix, it being necessary merely to spread the cheese onto the bread. In regard to bread, it is better to use alternately white and brown bread. Nothing adds more to a meal than a pretty or unusual way of serving the ever useful potato. A plain potato salad (which is always much better in texture and flavor when the potatoes are baked instead of boiled) seems far more elaborate when served in the potato shells, and these are really pretty when properly prepared. For any sort of stuffing, the potatoes should be of uniform size, and large rather than small, since the larger ones are easier to handle; the novice had best practice on a few first until the fingers become deft in handling, for the first few are apt to be spoiled in removing the interior or in refilling the shells. Banana Compote. Make a syrup of four tablespoonfuls of water and four tablespoonfuls of sugar; add the rind of one half lemon, two cloves, one inch of stick cinnamon; cook ten minutes; then drop into the syrup six bananas cut into fourths. It is best to cook just enough pieces of banana at a time to cover the bottom of the sauce pan. When the fruit becomes transparent and soft, take it up carefully, put into a pretty dish and pour over the syrup. Cool and serve with whipped cream slightly sweetened and flavored with lemon. Lady Isabel in Politics By Mrs. Neish (Copyright, by Joseph B. Howles.) "My dear girl, you simply must come and help me out," said Lady Isabel Etchingham; "I shall think you perfectly hateful if you don't." "But I don't understand canvassing," I protested. "Oh! it's quite easy," she replied; lightly; there are only one of two simple rules for you to follow." "As, for instance—" "Well," she said, "you must suit yourself to your constituents, especially up at a place like Bennington, where our people are mostly mechanics and working people. Of course, in dealing with the working classes you have to be a little careful," she continued, "because they are dreadfully full of common sense, and they ask you such leading and searching questions." Oh, about the raising of wages and the air-tightness of their houses and all sorts of uncomfortable things like that," "I see," I said; "and then you promise—" I waited. "Oh, I promise anything," she asserted, gaily; "but the great thing is—" she paused to emphasize her words "the great thing is to promise things the other side haven't thought of" "I see," I said, dryly; "and then I suppose you break your word" She stared at me in genuine astonishment, "but my good child," she explained, "it's not my word, it's Mr. Ephraim Montagu's word." "Mr. Ephraim Montagu!" I lechomed in an amazement that greatly exceeded hers; "but I thought you were holding your brother, Lord Robert." "Oh, no," said Lady Isabel; "what ever put such an idea into your head! Dear old Bob isn't cut out for parliament—at any rate, not for anywhere he is known. You see, I know quite a lot about politics, Marjorie." "You do, indeed," I answered, humbly. "You see," she continued, "there are two conservative candidates—mine, and a little man who doesn't count—and a liberal, who is certain he is going to get in." "Yes, I know the liberal to whom you refer," I said, "he is Mr. George Banks. I bear I Father say he is an excellent man—not only a first-rate speaker, but thoroughly honest, too, and an altogether worthy candidate. In fact, I have heard father say that he should certainly vote for—" "My dear, Marjorie," interrupted Lady Isabel, yawning slightly, and with a faint touch of her impertinent languor, "don't bore me, there's a darling, by making a speech. Your father may be an excellent judge of honesty, but luckily he does not vote in our constituency." I absolutely declined to do any canvassing on behalf of Mr. Ephraim Montague. In the first place, I had no gift that way, and in the second, I took a violent dislike to Lady Isabel's parliamentary protege. He was a short, fat man of unmistakable origin, with an eloquent eye and a persuasive tongue; but he was so aggressively rich and so aggressively self-satisfied, and, in fact, so aggressive altogether, that it was all I could do to be civil to him. Isabel threw herself, as she said, "heart and soul into the cause," that is to say, she drove about in the most delightful clothes, and showered her prettiest words on mothers, and kissed little children — or cleverly made the mothers think she had—and shook hands with people, whom she addressed as "honest workers." I told her I greatly disliked Mr. Ephraim Montagu, at which she seemed both astonished and a bit impatient, too. "But he is not a man, my dear Marjorie, he is a cause. Of course, I cannot say he is very attractive, but Vernon says it is better to vote for the devil himself than for the other side, and you see, we have been conservatives for such ages and ages, I can't help doing my utmost to keep a liberal out." "If I had a vote." I said doggedly, "I should certainly give it to Mr. George Banks; he is a much better man in every way, and I would much rather vote for him." "Would you, dear," rejoined Lady Isabel sweetly; "then it only shows what a good thing it is that you haven't a vote. You should not be in fluenced by the man but by the bene- fit he may render to his country. he added, in the tone in which she delivers her loftiest sentiments. "But you are promising all sorts of things you must know Mr. Montague will never perform." I began hotly, "whereas Mr. Banks—" But Lady Isabel softly interposed, "Have some tea, dear, and try one of these darling little coffee cakes. I have been talking all day; and it is silly to argue with anyone, especially when you know you're in the right." Lady Isabel worked exceedingly hard on Mr. Ephraim Montagu's account. She interviewed miners and called upon factory hands, and brushed wives to send husbands to the poll by bestowing household gifts and by giving glowing descriptions of a rise in wages and an altright house. Her labor, however, were well rewarded, for when the great day of the pollting arrived, Mr. Ephraim Montagu As, for instance— "such as—" was returned by an overwhelming majority. "Oh, my dear, I am so thankful it is over," said Lady Isabel, as she sighed and leaned back in a deep armchair. "And now we can go back to town and forget all about these horrid old politics, Marjorie, and thoroughly enjoy the coming season." "You have worked very hard, Isabel." "Hard!" she echoed, "I have never worked so hard in all my life; and the things I have promised! Well, I only hope I haven't contradicted my self very, very often." "Mr. Montagu spoke very well at the meetings," I said grudgingly. "Yes," agreed Lady Isabel, "and he can't be at all 'nervy' can he? because it was simply wonderful the way he answered those unpleasant questions about that financial case he was mixed in, and that other one about the other money thing—I forget what Vernon called it." "But it is surely easy to answer questions when you know you are innocent," I said in amazement. "Innocent!" echoed Lady Isabel. "Why, Vernon says he is a thorough blackguard, and hopelessly dishonest." "But surely you haven't been helping a man you know to be dishonest?" "Only dishonest about money matters," said Lady Isabel hastily, "he is all right about other things; and a man can be a splendid politician, and do an immense lot of good for his country, and yet be mixed up with the shadiest things in the city. You see, dear, city honesty has nothing whatever to do with political honesty," she added by way of explanation. "I see," I replied sarcastically; "and it was really noble of you to work so hard for this politically" honest man, and to absent yourself from your favorite London, even for a short three weeks." "Yes, wasn't it? But it is always nice to feel one is a power," she answered, contentedly; "and, of course, I did it really for dear old Ver." "For your husband, Isabel," I echoed; "why, you told me—" Of course, whom else should I pos- Cézanne 19 "I Never Have Worked So Hard In All My Life!" sibly want to help," she interposed impatiently. I laughed in the midst of my astonishment. "No. I didn't mean that. But how can you possibly help Lord Etheling-ham by getting Mr. Montagu into parliament?" Lady Isabell laid her teacup carefully down upon the table and, leaning forward, looked at me with a delicate smile of explanation. "Well, you see, dear," she said slowly, "it's like this: Mr Montagu is what is known as a financier"—she paused and looked helplessly round the room—and poor dear old Vernon has been so very, very unlucky with his investments lately, and is dreadful hard up, as you know, so that—well, even a few directorships will be very useful." Appropos of the beautiful poems of Ingalls and Judge Malone on "Opportunity." I am reminded of the time when Ingalls, just after he was retired from the senate, interviewed an old Virginia darkey on the subject at the home of Senator Daniel, one of Tillman's minstrel performers, says a writer in the New York Press. "Uncle Sam," hissed the Kansas sky rocket, "what would you do to-day if Opportunity were to tap at your cabin door? You have heard me say he makes only one call." "Da's all raight, Mars Ingers, but he call on onle Sam nigh on sehen years ago; to' yo' writ dem verses." "Indeed! And what did you do?" "Ah didn't hab de money." Self-Distrust. "Did you enjoy the concert?" asked the artistic young woman. "Yes," answered Mr. Cumrox; "I enjoyed it. But I was afraid to say so for fear mother and the girls would reprove the performers for playing that sort of music."—Philadelphia Leder. Opportunity. Self-Distrust. WORLD'S GRANDEST HORSE SHOW 99 The biggest and the finest exhibition of the finest horse flesh by the world's equine enthusiasts is scheduled for London next June. Owners of fine horses in many lands, including the crowned heads of Europe, are to be among the exhibitors and prizes to the amount of $35,000 will be distributed. It will be the greatest horse show the world has ever seen, and like the New York and Chicago horse shows its social features will be among the chiefest of the attractions. The Olympia, London's largest exhibition hall, a place twice as large as Madison Square garden, New York, has been secured for the show, which opens June 7. so and may, possibly, also ex- The Hague. The prize aggregate $35,000 which many special prizes were fered by private individuals. For each class there will lish, American and Continenta All the usual classes will be sented—saddle horses, hunted oubreadbs, polo ponies, r heavy harness turnouts, four and all the varieties of horse equipages known to horse s The most beautiful horse world will be exhibited, and t will be a wonderful display. Pretty Polly, the famous race horse, although no long From time immemorial the cultivation of fine horses has been the pleasure and diversion of the leisure classes of all countries. The advent of the automobile has not diverted the interest in the horse as an exhibit. More than ever is he now the toy of the rich. In England and on the continent the fad is older and more popular than it is in this country. Consider then, the ranks of fashionable classes, from royalty down to the wealthy countries of the world, who will be represented at the show? Never before in the history of the world has there been a social event of such universal interest. To America belongs the honor of originating the plan. James T. Hyde, assistant secretary of the National Horse Show Association of America, and long associated with the management of horse shows in this country, first suggested the idea a couple of years ago. The matter was presented to influential persons in England and indorsed enthusiastically. Reginald Vanderbilt last spring visited London chiefly to get the consensus of opinion regarding the feasibility of the plan. A committee was formed in England, another in America and one on the continent to ascertain the feeling of horse owners and capitalists. The report was unanimously favorable. King Edward is said to be much interested in the affair and it is about certain that he will enter some of the noted horses from the royal stables at Windsor and Buckingham. King Edward is a great lover of well-bred horses and frequently exhibits at the English shows. Queen Alexandra and the prince and princess of Wales own some of the best blooded stock in England and are sure to be interested in the project. Emperor William will also send over some horses and will be personally represented at the show, possibly by the crown prince, while Alfonso, king of Spain, is enthusiastic on the subject. The presence of royalty will do much to add to the glory of the occasion. The date of the exhibition is well timed, June 7 to 18, inclusive, coming between Derby and Ascot weeks, when everybody will be in town, and being followed on June 14 and 15 by the Richmond meet. It is quite probable that many of the American exhibitors will arrange to enter at several of the English open-air shows. Alfred Vanderbilt has planned to do so and may, possibly, also exhibit at The Hague. The prize aggregate $35,000, besides which many special prizes will be offered by private individuals. For each class there will be English, American and Continental judges. All the usual classes will be represented—saddle horses, hunters, thor ombreads, polo ponies, roadsters, heavy harness turnouts, four-in-hands and all the varieties of horses and equipages known to horse shows. The most beautiful horses of the world will be exhibited, and this alone will be a wonderful display. Pretty Polly, the famous English race horse, although no longer on the course, may make a triumphant entry at the show. Most of our own celebrated horses will be there. Alfred Vanderbilt's blue ribbon four-in-hand Viking, Venture, Vogue and Vanity it is hoped will repeat the successes of American shows. Primrose, Polly Prim, The Youngster, Sweet Marie and The Major, are others of Mr. Vanderbilt's string which will be represented. Reginald Vanderbilt, who is now abroad, will also send over a long string of horses, among which probably will be the celebrated Dr. Selwona, Amazement, Astishment, The Dictator, Scotland's Queen, Bravo and many other winners. C. W. Watson will be represented by the high-stepping hackney Ringing bells, which made such a sensational success at the Newport Horse Show last summer; also by Lord Baltimore, My Maryland and other favorites. Most Dangerous Animal. Of all wild animals, including the chinoceros with his frightful charge and his dreadful horn, including the rogue elephant with his unbounded strength, his marvelous cunning, and his villainous trunk, and including that shaggy rogue, the American "grizzly" with his rib-crushing hug, his ponderous paw and his hot, reeking maw, no beast is as dangerous to man as any one of the big cats, says a writer in Appleton's Magazine. For, besides the mouth provided with teeth that can crunch through the leg tone of a man as if it were a pipesem, each foot is provided with five pinion-ard like claws, pointed needles and from three to four and a half inches long. As the beast strikes with these he draws the claws in, keeping hold of muscles and tendons and ligaments, and tearing them out of the flesh until they snap like rubber bands, so that unless the victim succeeds it will be months and months and sometimes years and years before he can regain the use of an injured member. But not only do these tails tear. Curious to say, considering that although the claws are needle-pointed the edges are dull as the tip of a little finger, a cut with one of these hooks is like the cut of a dagger. Of Discourse. Discretion of speech is more than eloquence; and to speak agreeably to him with whom we deal is more than to speak in good words or in good order—Francis Bacon. ADVICE OF THE "TOURIST." "Sir Dennis" Met His Match in Exchange of Reparete. There is a place of liquid refreshment not far from the old-time newspaper row in Washington which is presided over by a genial and talented Irishman who is not a stranger himself to literary work. For a number of years this establishment has been a sort of Bohemia, being frequented by scores of newspaper men who appreciate the rich and racy repartee and rosy reminiscences of the proprietor as fully as they do his rich and ruddy draughts of old Irish whisky and other liquors. For short the men of the press address the happy proprietor as Sir Dennis, and many is the good story that is swapped for a better one in the cozy corners of the local Bohemia. "Being as how this is a resort for brainy men," said one of the patrons of the place to Sir Dennis not long ago, "you should cut out sauer kraut and sausage from your free lunch menu, and incorporate some brain food." "Excellent idea," said the proprietor, "and it occurs to me that the Scotch claim that herring are the best of food for the intellect." So Scotch herrings galore with dainty crackers were exposed on the free lunch bar thereafter. One day a tough looking "turnip tourist" who was looking up the best free feeds in the city drifted into Bohemia. He went up against the Scotch herring and crackers, and was devouring them by the handful when Sir Dennis glanced over at the hungry fellow and remarked: "Be careful, my good man. Do not eat too many of those herring. They are not for the hungry particularly. They are fish, and fish is brain food and are intended for the intellect." "They are, are they?" said the grimy tourist, looking Sir Dennis full in the eyes. "Thin, begorra, if fish are brain food, I wud advise ye to ate a whale." UNCLE SAM AFTER COOKS. But They Mustn't Have Dyspepsia Themselves or Wear Glasses. Realizing the awful results of indulgence, Uncle Sam has asked for ten expert cokes, who must be healthy and have good eyesight, to cook for his Indians and his soldiers at western posts and reservations. Twenty-five young women of Philadelphia, who have all the exacting requirements, filed applications for the positions at the United States civil service commission. Despite the alleged independence of the American cook, who is supposed to dictate instead of obey, the applicants answered the following questions: "Are you subject to loss of consciousness?" "Do you wear glasses?" "Did you ever have dyspepsia?" "Are you subject to dizziness?" "What are your past and present habits in the use of alcohol?" "Do you use opium, morphine or any other drug?" "Have you ever had any deformity?" The cooks are required for posts at considered, as the government believes women under that age have not had sufficient experience to prepare food properly. The coks are wanted for posts at Rapid City, S. D.; Agricultural School, N. D.; Zuni, N. M.; Ponca, Okla.; Fort Bidwell, Cal., and other posts. Their pay will range from $480 to $540 a year and includes board. Nothing is said of a day out in the applications, nor is there any mention of nights when the cook may entertain her friends. Congressmen at Large. Representatives in congress have a great deal said about them that tax the imagination, and the statements no doubt have effect upon persons who are not acquainted with the mild nature of the average representative. The opinion of a certain careful lady from the west at a reception the other day went to show that the reports that have reached her relative to the "M.C.'s" have not caused her opinion of legislators to soar. "Why," she said to a group of callers, "I think Washington should get a larger police force. I am actually afraid to allow my daughter to go upon the streets alone." One of the men assured her that she should have no fears, for, if he was correctly informed there are a great many daughters who go upon the streets alone. "But," she replied, "have you seen by the papers that there are a number of congressmen at large?" Have Their Favorite Munch. The short-frocked colored waiters in the house and senate restaurants have good memories, for no sooner have the members returned to their wonted places in the restaurant than the usual orders are anticipated, says a writer in the National Magazine. There is the apple pie and milk for Congressman Burleigh, the cup o' custard for J. T. McCleary, ham and eggs for Judge Smith, roast beef for Bob Cousins, crackers and half and half for Congressman McKinley, plain bread, butter and jam for Jim Watson, and an egg sandwich for Speaker Cannon. On the senate side there is not so much of the quick lunch spirit. They may not consume any more food, but they are more leisurely, and the stately senatorial "munch" is already being affected by ambitious members of the house, who take a daily constitutional between the two houses to see how the prospective seat looks that they will some day occupy.

Handlers of the Roulette Wheel and the Faro Deck Ready to Surrender to Public Opinion Without a Fight—Little High Play of Late Years, Anyhow—Even Euchre Is Now Forbidden in the City of Prescott, Arizona. Raton, N. M.—By the middle of this year licensed public gambling will probably have disappeared from the territories of the United States. The ease and apparent willingness with which the tiger has surrendered surprises some people who looked for a fight. the deadest town in New Mexico is Cimarron, which was once to the south what Julesburg was to the north. "With the disappearance of the cowboy and the petering out of new mining camps gambling for high stakes has died out. When the gambling spirit subsides it doesn't matter But the end has been approached so gradually, through regulation and high license, that even the gamblers themselves were prepared for it. It is a complete surrender by what was once regarded as an impregnably intrenched evil. This passing of the professional gambler shows the advance of public sentiment due to persistent agitation, and it follows naturally the disappearance of the frontier. There are no longer any wickedest towns. Where the gamblers will go or what they will do is not certain. The Arizona closing law becomes effective April 1, and it is expected that by July 1 a similar law will be in effect in New Mexico. A number of the Arizona professionals will doubtless come up into New Mexico to think the matter over, and then drift down into old Mexico, or over into Nevada where everything is still wide open. Business No Longer Pays. One reason why the gamblers have given up is that the business of public gambling no longer pays—there is nothing in it. The high license fee in this territory $100 a year for each Raton's Leading A man seated at a table, a black bear in front, and two men in the background. Raton's Leading Wide Open Gambling Shop—Bar on Opposite Side of Room. table, and the disappearance of cow towns and mining camps have caused the profits to dwindle. The writer has been at Raton for about two months, and in that time has not seen or heard of a game worth mentioning. Unless a stranger wanders into a saloon he would never suspect that public gambling is a source of revenue for the support of the public schools here. Last summer, when a couple of new railroads were being built into this city, there was high play, but since then the business has been dead. There is practically no playing at all in daytime, and at night there are only a few isolated games of poker. Once a month, on the occasion of a railroad payday, the roulette wheels may whirl for a night, and then dust settles on them again. Nor is there perceptible anywhere the demoralization which is supposed to accompany the legal recognition of public gambling. This town of 6,000 inhabitants is as quiet and orderly and clean more orally as any town of like size in the United States. Leading Gambler Talks. When the leading gambler of Raton was questioned as to the outlook he said: "They've got the drop on us and we must submit. It's poor consolation, but still a consolation that we haven't much to give up. Some games will stop entirely and a number of sports will leave the territory; the rest will be driven to cover." "Are there any big games now running in this territory?" "None that an old gambler would call big. Of course there is stiff play in Albuquerque, where the profligate sons of new rich men abound, but such games are racerly public. There is only one blooded player in Santa Fe." "The only really profitable games are away out in the mining camps or at the front of new railroads. About --- the deadest town in New Mexico is Cimarron, which was once to the south what Julesburg was to the north. "With the disappearance of the cowboy and the petering out of new mining camps gambling for high stakes has died out. When the gambling spirit subsides it doesn't matter much what the law is—so we simply don't care whether or not the legislature prohibits public gambling." Some of the liquor sellers and gamblers of New Mexico are men of superior intelligence. The other day a tenderfoot had occasion to consult a book "The Land of Sunshine," by Lillian Whiting. The only available copy in town was the property of a gambler. When he went to return the book he found a barkeeper immersed in an abstruse scientific work. Desiring an expert opinion on the new corporation law passed by the territorial legislature, the same visitor was referred to a saloonkeeper as the only man in town who had made a study of it. In his message to the legislature Gov. Hagerman advocated the passage of a stringent anti-gambling law providing penalties of from $200 to $5,000 fine, and imprisonment of from two months to one year, and recommended that any deficit be made up by increasing the amount of the liquor licenses. At present two-thirds of the net amount received by the territory from liquor and gambling licenses is paid into the district school funds and Wide Open Gambling Shop—Bar on one-third into the general county school funds. This open indorsement of public gambling is objectionable to citizens generally and peculiarly so to prospective settlers from the east. The number of retail liquor licenses in the territory in 1905 was 585, wholesale licenses 23, and gambling licenses 360. The total income therefrom to the territory was only $164,000, of which less than half came from gambling licenses. The figures for 1907 show no material change. In the city of Raton there are 19 saloons and 17 licensed gambling tables. The former pay to the city $400 a year and the latter $200 a year each. Equal sums are paid to the territory for the county and district school funds. In the towns of Roswell and Artesia gambling has been abolished by ordinance, and the experiment of exceedingly high liquor licenses, as much as $2,000, has been made with satisfactory results. That most of the games are unfair requires no proof. In his message Gov. Hagerman treats of this feature thus: "Some of the games as played here afford the player 250 per cent. less chance of winning than similar games afford in the large gambling establishments of Europe, which pay enormous dividends to their stockholders. The games most general in New Mexico are so arranged that the chances are many times in favor of the proprietors." There has been long and gradual preparation in New Mexico for the impending prohibition of public gambling. About 1890 the female warblers, or concert hall singers, were put out of business by territorial enactment. Then came a further tightening of the lines which did not become effective without a struggle—the law against packing guns. By the six- Most Games Unfair shooter law every man on arrival in a town or city was compelled to shed his revolvers and cartridges and leave them in the custody of some resident until he was ready to go home, or to pay a fine of from $50 to $300 if he refused or neglected to do so. Still heavier fines were imposed for using or brandishing a deadly weapon. Stringent Law Proposed. Now the territorial council is considering a bill providing that "any person within the territory of New Mexico who deals, plays, carries on, opens, or causes to be opened, or conducts either as owner or employe, whether for hire or not, any game of faro, monte, roulette, lansquenet, rouge-et-noir, rondo, fantan, poker, seven-and-a-half, twenty-one, chuckaluck, slot machine, or any banking or percentage game, or any other kind of game played with cards, dice, or any device, for money, checks, credit, or any other representative of value, is guilty of a misdemeanor, and shall be punished by a fine of not more than $5,000 or by imprisonment in the county jail for not more than one year, or both." As in all reforms the impelling force has been a gradually crystallizing public opinion. Both Arizona and New Mexico have ambitions in the direction of statehood. The defeat of the joint proposition last fall has increased the rivalry between them. The threat of the Littlefield bill put Arizona on her good behavior, and now New Mexico is compelled to follow suit. In their excess of zeal, however, some Arizona municipalities have gone too far. All Games of Chance Prohibited The Arizona gambling law is due to take effect April 1. But Prescott, the capital city, could not wait until then to show off her newly donned white robes of virtue, and passed an anti-gambling ordinance, effective February 1, which shut down all 40 of her public games and interfered seriously with social diversions. The ordinance prohibits the playing of euchre for prizes, and all other gambling games popular in social circles are likewise put under ban. Hereafter the Prescott woman who offers her guests prizes for winning any game of chance or skill puts her self exactly on the same plane, so far as liability to arrest and punishment is concerned, with the gambler, who Opposite Side of Room. backs a crap game. Fear of enforcement of the new ordinance has also stopped the giving of prizes at parties and church entertainments. BIG BEARS OF ALASKA. Largest Flesh-Eating Animal in the World—Big as Three Lions. Very few persons really know that the largest flesh-eating animals in the world are found in America. People generally believe that the African lion is the king of beasts, but he is not nearly as large or as powerful an animal as the large brown bear of Alaska. The bears are not as ferocious or combative as the lions, nor are they nearly as vicious as they are given credit for being, but the largest of them are much larger and more powerful than any of the lions. It is safe to say that the largest of the brown bears of the north would weigh three times as much as the largest specimen of lion, and is beyond all question greatly superior in strength. If brought together in combat the bear would at first appear very clumsy. It would not be capable of the quick rush or the catlike spring of the lion. It would not attack, but it would remain entirely on the defensive, meeting its adversary with blows of such rapidity and terrific force as at once to illustrate its superiority not only in strength but in action. I do not believe that there is an animal in the world that can act more quickly or effectively or can aim its blows with greater certainty than the bear. The bears are flesh eaters, yet there are none of them that depend upon flesh for food, and with most of them flesh comprises but a very small percentage of their food.—Scribner's Magazine. --- UP-TO-DATE HOUSEKEEPER. Has a New Recipe for Breakfast Dish. Light muffins depend upon the way in which the ingredients are put together as well as on the recipe itself. A housekeeper who is known for her fluffy breakfast muffins, which are always as light as the proverbial feather, uses sour milk in making them, but decries the old-time way of using it. According to traditional processes the soda is mixed with sour milk before the flour is added. This method, argues the housewife in question, allows the effervescence to be over before the flour goes in. Her way is to mix with the sour milk the flour, salt and sugar, and then to add soda dissolved in a little hot water. By this means the entire mass rises. The last thing before the batter is turned into the pans a beaten egg is folded in. This is her recipe: Two cupfuls of flour, one cupful of sour milk, a half teaspoonful of soda, one teaspoonful of sugar, a half teaspoonful of salt and one egg. FOR THE HOME DRESSMAKER. Sewing Hints Considered Valuable by Woman's Life. Metal eyes which protrude beyond the edge of the material, where a hook and eye fastening is employed, should always be carefully and neatly covered with buttonhole stitching, says Woman's Life. Needles should never be kept in flannel-lined needlebooks, as sulphur often enters into the composition of this material. Sulphur invariably rusts the needles in time. Bent pieces of whalebone can be strengthened by being placed in cold water for two or three hours. This will make them pliable. They should then be pressed under a heavy weight. When making a skirt, it is always best to try it on the first time on the wrong side, then reverse it and finish it on the right side. Waldorf-Astoria Curried Oysters. Waldercif-Astoria Curried Oysters. Peel and cut into thin slices a half of a medium-sized Spanish onion. Put a tablespoonful butter in a frying pan, add the onion and fry brown. Stir in a tablespoonful and a half curry powder, adding another tablespoonful butter. Mix well, then pour in gradually a cup of broth; cover and let come to a boil. Peel and chop a small sour apple and grate half a cocoanut. Put into the pan with the other ingredients and cook slowly until the cocoanut is tender. Mix a tablespoonful flour in a little water and thicken the mixture; season with salt and pepper and cook five minutes. Put a cup of strained tomato into a steakpan with 50 oysters, their liquor and half the milk of a cocoanut. Simmer for a few moments, stirring occasionally. Add to the first mixture with a tablespoonful lemon juice; then turn the curry on to a bowl, garnish with crountons and serve with a separate dish of rice. Cream of Potato Soup. Pare four small potatoes, cover with boiling water, boil rapidly for five minutes. Throw the water away and cover with a pint and a half of boiling water. Add a slice of onion, a bay leaf, and a few celery tops chopped fine—the green leaves of the celery will answer the purpose; cover and boil 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft. While these are boiling, put a pint of milk, in the double boiler, add a tablespoonful of butter and one of flour rubbed together; press the potatoes through a fine sieve, using the water in which they were boiled; add this mixture to the hot milk in the double boiler. Shrt until thoroughly heated and serve. Brown Broth. Put two tablespoonfuls of butter in a frying pan; add two tablespoonfuls of chopped onions, two of chopped carrots and cook until a golden brown. Put these in a kettle with a quart of boiling water and a bay leaf and simmer 15 minutes; press through a sieve. Whirl the soup is simmering put about a tablespoonful of sugar into an iron saucepan and when it browns and burns add two tablespoonfuls of chopped onions, then two or three tablespoonfuls of water. Add this to the soup; add a teaspoonful of salt and a saltspoonful of pepper. Strain the soup, return it and settle; add half a plint of blocks of bread that have been stirred up with beaten eggs; bring to a boil and serve with grated cheese. Venison on Toast. For a chafing dish.—A cup of butter, a cup of grape or currant jelly, one half cup of sherry, salt and pepper to taste. Thoroughly clean the venison viping with a dry cloth, cut into dice, and when above mixture is fast boiling add the venison and allow it to cook from three to five minutes. Avoid longer cooking, or it will toughen, serve on toast, using a liberal amount of the delicious gravy. All you prepare will fast disappear. For Tired Feet. Rathe the feet in cold water, if possible; if cold water in unpleasant, use warm and plenty of plain, unscented soap. Put three drops of carbolic acid in the water. Dry thoroughly with a soft towel and then sponge off with equal parts of water and alcohol How to Make a Buttonhole Here is the way a dressmaker cuts buttonholes in material that frayed easily. First she marked the buttonhole, then stitched close around it on the sewing machine, before cutting it. "His prevented the fraying and gave something firm to work on." Round About New York QUIET RETIREMENT OF MORGAN FROM WALL ST. THAT Wall street has been looking forward to anxiously and with much speculation for several years has actually come to pass in the "House of Morgan." The "old man," as J. P. Pierpont Morgan is generally called in "the street," has to all intents and purposes gone into retirement, and in his place in the most famous banking house in America there reigns J. P. Morgan, Jr., or "Jack," as he is more frequently called and spoken of in the same district. No one can cry. "The King is dead! Long live the King!" for the head of the house is very much alive. Only he has handed over the practical administration of his banking concerns to his son, while in his magnificent new Library on East Thirty sixth street he is spending the evening of his days in the pleasure of the collector amid his collections. Like all the things the elder Morgan does, this change in his banking house was accomplished with little flourishing of trumpets. So quiet and gradual has been the process that until the last few weeks but little attention has been paid to the important change which has for several years been going on in the house of Morgan. Of late Morgan, Sr., has not been in any too good health, and for more than a month has not been in the POST 1510 TO BROOKLYN THE heart of New York's Chinatown, which was wiped out officially at a recent meeting of the board of estimate, when a new park to occupy the acre and a half block bounded by the Bowery, Doyers, Pell and Mott streets was authorized, is owned largely by Chinese firms and individuals and includes the Chinese theater, in which several Chinese recently were shot to death in a high-binder war, the joss house, and all the other oriental features which have made the locality the most picturesque plague site in the city. Before the year is out most of the inhabitants will have moved to Brooklyn, where they are establishing a new Chinatown, and the narrow, crooked streets around Chatham Square are affording their last picturesque spectacle to the "rubber-neck" tourists in the celebration of NEW YORK A FRUITFUL FIELD FOR LAWYERS EIGHTEEN thousand lawyers are living more or less luxuriously because of the controversies of individuals and the results of crime in the metropolis. Ninety-two others, candidates from the law schools, were admitted to the New York bar a few days ago, and there is scarcely a week in which a locally prominent legal light from some other part of the country, seeking a wider field and higher fees, is not added to the steadily increasing number. New York has a population of approximately 1,500,000, and this means that there is one lawyer to every 250 individuals, not a very large number from which to draw a clientele, it would seem, when the lawyers themselves, and those who cannot afford the luxury of law are subtracted. Yet most of them have an opulent look that speaks eloquently of prosperity and suggests 5TH AVE MANSION builders are planning to invest $20,000,000 within a year along the one mile stretch of Millionaires' Row, in Fifth avenue H. C. Frick has practically closed a deal for the purchase of the Lennox Library site in Fifth avenue, between Seventhfifth and Seventyfirst streets. The property is in the midst of the storm center of the "400" and its dimensions are 200x125 feet. The library trustees have asked legislative permission to sell the ground. The price asked is said to be $3,000,000. Mr. Frick now has a ten-year lease of the George Vanderbilt mansion, on the Fiftyfirst street corner, at $70,000 a year. During the past few months more than $6,000,000 has been paid for mansion sites in upper Fifth avenue. Most of these buyers will erect homes to cost double the price of the land. Others who have been holding costly sites for the past A man reading a book while surrounded by books. financial district at all. Every time the stock market tumbles disquieting reports are circulated from one end of Wall street to the other that the "old man" is seriously ill, and in spite of frequent denials from other members of the firm, including "Jack," the reports persist and come to the surface at every favorable opportunity. But there seems to be nothing immediately alarming in Mr. Morgan's condition. The affairs of the great house of Morgan are now in the hands of three men, J. P. Morgan, Jr.; George W. Perkins and Charles Steele. Mr. Steele is the legal steele, so that the heavy financial work, formerly the joy of the "old man's" life, is in the hands of Jack Morgan and Perkins. Not that these are the only members of the firm, but they are the active ones. The Morgan firm has 11 partners, but the members, other than those mentioned, are little more than head clerks. J. P. Morgan, Jr., is by no means an inexperienced boy. He is 40 years old and his training in the intricacies of banking has been long and thorough. Whether he will prove the genius in the world of business that his father has been remains to be seen. But if genius consists in an excessive devotion to hard work he may compare favorably with his illustrious father. CHINATOWN WIPED OUT, NEW ONE IN BROOKLYN the Chinese new year, which is now on. All the business transactions of the last 12 months have been closed, every Chinaman has paid his honest debts, all the prayers have been said, and the advent of the new year, which occurred on the morning of February 12, was celebrated with the explosion of thousands of firecrackers, which a special ordinance of the board of aldermen, passed at the intercession of "Little Tim" Sullivan, who ranks next to Confucius in the Chinese calendar of saints, permitted to be hung in ropes and testoons from house to house across the streets. Togged out in their brightest native garb, the inhabitants of the quarter are making the customary New Year calls and imbibing much rice and liquor. So far not a Mongolian has been killed, however, and in that circumstance is read the sad fact that the glory of Chinatown has departed. LAWYER | LAWYER | CLIENT an inquiry into the methods by which it has been acquired. There is the field of politics, of course, and in New York that takes care of many of the poorer attorneys, while practice before the civil and criminal courts of the city and state accounts for a goodly number of pleaders; but it is to the enormous volume of business transactions that the majority look for support. Many of the great financial and commercial institutions have prominent lawyers at their heads, and all of them are equipped with one or more salaried employees whose legal advice is indispensable in transactions involving, as they frequently do, millions of dollars. In addition to these sources of income there were more than 115,000 transfers of real estate last year, involving about $1,345,000,000, and most of them provided handsome fees for lawyers. FANCY PRICES FOR SITES ON MILLIONAIRE'S ROW low years are giving final instructions to their architects. As a result of the great wave of prosperity that has swept the country recently it is probable the last remaining vacant sites along Millionaires' Row will be covered by mansions. Prices are nothing less than fancy on proud old Fifth avenue. At the south end of Millionaires' Row land is being $12,000 a front foot. At the north end, beyond Andrew Carnegie's mansion, it is sought at $5,000 a front foot. Very little land is to be bad at those prices. None will be for sale soon because Millionaires' Row is filling fast and owners are so wealthy that they do not think of selling. When the last few sites are taken by mansion builders the entire stretch of the row will be cornered, so far as outsiders are concerned. It is not difficult to foresee a time when a site on that part of Fifth avenue will be almost priceless. THE RISING SON WM, T. WASHINGTON, Editor and Owner, Office, 914 E. Twelfth St. RISING SON PUB.

During April some of the mid year officers are to be appointed among them is Geo Himes, City Assessor. From a Negroes standpoint it would be a good thing if he were displaced. He has never been a friend of the Negro and never will. A year ago Mr. Himes saw fit to call in James Dunne and others who were deputy assessors because they wished to assess a white lady. Under C. C. Yest nothing like that ever happened. Mr. Himes is one of the Lilly White Republicans who refused to appoint a regular Negro. He said he could not afford to do it. He also was one of Mr. Beardsley's bitter opponent. The question is has he fought him so hard as to have made a friend out of him? Does Mr. Beardsley refuse to remember the boys who went gallantly to the front for him. Ad Pettit Quorum. Now Mr. Beardsley you are about to make some mid-year appointments. This paper would like to ask you fair and square. Are you going to give any more Negro jobs. There is no way to dodge the question. There are 5,500 Negroes and you have not made one single Negro appointment in elected positions that ex-Mayor Nef didn't have. Listen to the talk of the Gross Roots. Come up on high grounds and be composite in your entire make up. This paper undoubtedly represents the pulse of the Negro. Give us one or two more jobs and we will be satisfied. You remember how the colored boys fought your political battles? You remember how the Negro Orators persuaded the Negroes to vote for you in the Primary against Davenport. The Negro only wants you to treat him partly right. In Hoe Stigma Vines.

LINCOLN INSTITUTE NOTES THE work of the spring term in Lincoln Institute begins Marca ith and many teachers who have been employed in schools that close the latter part of February, or the first of March, will enter the Institute and complete the work of this term, which with the summer school work will be of great assistance to the one pursuing the courses*, both in educational advance age and in securing increased salary for the ensuing year. All parties who desire to teach will do well to avail themselves of these opportunities; and also should register the name and post office address with President Allen, as he has many applications for teachers, stenographers, etc., good paying positions, both within and without the state of Missouri. Mrs. Lara Parks, class of '13, successful teacher in the Fort. Scott schools recently sent us some very creditable work executed by pupils under her training in the second and third grades. Scarcely a day passes but that one bears directly, or indirectly from some graduate who is making good in his or her chosen line of work. The hope of the race is to its young people hence these reports are very encouraging to all concerned. Parents Faculty and students, clearly mourn the loss of Orlando Rettge, class of '07. Appropriate resolutions were drawn up by the Senior class of which the young man was a faithful, studious and obedient member. The floral offerings were numerous and beautiful. Grand Master, C. G. Williams was among the representative guests of the week. Profe sor Will ams expressed himself as very much pleased with the excellent condition in which he found the Institution. A very pleasing and instructive feature of life at Lincoln Institute is the after dinner talk, or better conversation of Pre-ident Allen and the students during which current topics as brought forth in daily papers, standard magazines and high class books, are discussed and commented upon. --- FORD'S HAIR POMADE Formerly known as "OZONIZED OX MARROW" So STRAIGHTEN'S KINKY or CURLY HAIR that it can be put up in any style desired consistent with its length.

One of the most sensational successes of the year is the jumper gown, often known as the phinature and glove frock. Over its becoming, youthful lines greenery for morning, afternoon and evening have been designed and appreciated by the best dressed women of the country.

Something Really New in the Way of an Entertainment. Those who were the recipients of the following invitation were excited animals to the point of spontaneous correlation before the night indicated on the card arrived. In spite of the Hephburn bill they did not hostile to accept these prizes: From Now to Never, Never Land, Born issued to Mr. and Mrs. Blank, to the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Grandy, died on 11th day of March and not until 11th day of March appear in the clothing. Every one entered into the spirit of the occasion and arrived carrying cocktails, suitcases, shawl strapped bundles and a bird cage or two, not bringing band boxes. Linen dusters, vests and caps, disters and old fashioned shawls added to the comical appearance of the guests. They were not at the door by the host in a uniform and carrying a lanter. The walls were completely covered with timetables and train bulletins, which showed most of the trains blue. The staircase bore a huge marked "buggage" and obliging posters assisted the "travelers" upstairs. Obscending they went into the door, which had been converted into a waiting room and "ticket office." Here they received "tickets," a dis- Proper Accessories Needed if Get-Up Is to Be Correct. * I cannot be doubted that a woman in much more fastidious and much more careful of her appearance if she has the proper belongings on her dressing table. * I have to rush around booking for petr to let the hair go half falling down because no hairpins can be found to be unable to see the back of an old gown because a hand glass is missing will result in a careless get up.

Lace Shawl Frocks Love shawls are made into frocks now and are considered particularly smart for dinner and reception wear. They are really used exactly like the materials of which the tresses are made, yet whenever it is not absolutely essential to cut in order to make them no those shawls are the more expensive and desirable and a woman who possesses one that will make a train—it only a short one—is decidedly fortunate. These laces, besides being uncommon, are particularly attractive because of the graceful folds in which they may be draped about the body. They are becoming a like to both stout and slender women. For present wear, it has been fashioned of ad sorts of materials from cheviots to broadcloths, skirts, cliffons and velvets. The guipme is self color or harmonizing with the frock and of a dressy material as silk, net lace or chiffon. The trimming employed on the gown is often used on the jumper, but it is always individualized by some distinct touch. The sleeves may be of the fashionable kimono or Mikado genre, "sling," or just merely capping the shoulder or extending to within an inch or two of the elbows. Or the sleeves may be shaped circular or gathered full, falling over the guipme. Again there are no sleeves at all, merely a wide fold outlining the arm-hole. A strikingly pretty little jumper gown was recently made for "general utility" as the wearer expressed it. The material was a fine, black chevron; the skirt plaited about the hips and stitched flat several inches below the hips. The bottom of the skirt was finished with a deep hem. The jumper waist was laid in three wide tucks that extended off the shoulder line, and three little gilt buttons extended diagonally from the shoulders. The top of jumper was cut in a deep U outlined by a bias band of plaid taffeta with scarlet perdominating. Directly in front was a little band of finely plaited silk with tan-shaped ends breaking the monotony of the plain band. The guimpe of plaid taffeta was laid in fine tucks, an inch wide band outlining a wee chemisette of bobe Irish lace, finished by a double fold of the silk. The sling sleeves were bordered with blas bands of the taffeta. The little jumper waist of cheille and velvet illustrated is one of the prettiest of fancies seen in this line. Quite striking is the skeleton jumper of the black velvet forming brettes. The plaid jumper shows the very latest idea for bodice with Japanese blouse and sleeves. tinctive kind for men, each marked with the station from which they were to start. Passing through a turnstile, they found their stations, or tables, and promptly after the blast of a whistle and the ringing of a bell the train was off and the game was on. In this case it was "Cinch." There were the general interruption of newsboys, candy and popcorn vendors, and a conductor punched the score. All of a sudden the lights were turned out, and a cry of "robbers," "hold up men," etc., added to the confusion. The lights were turned on, revealing masked men, who in a most gentlemanly manner proceeded to rob the passengers. After this the game continued, but there were pickpockets in the room who kept things stirred up in a most amusing fashion. "Twenty minutes" were allowed for refreshments, which were served in railroad style. Prizes were distributed consisting of a traveling drinking cups, umbrella la straps, a money bag, soap case and toothbrush case and a shawl strap. After this the "unclaimed baggage" was auctioned off and caused untold merriment. These articles had been arranged by the hostess and the wif of the company disposed of them in a side-splitting manner. The pick pockets were arrested and all "valuables" recovered. The souvenirs were hat boxes, suit cases and miniature trunks.

The new British Ambassador, Mr. James Bryce, and his wife, to whom the English papers have alluded as the ambassadress, have taken possession of the British embassy at Washington and are becoming settled in their new home and preparing for the social duties which will devolve upon them in connection with the social activities of official Washington life. It is safe to say that the Bryces, strong in their knowledge of the American and of all things American, will give far more attention to social affairs than was ever before given by a representative of Abbion, and will thus escape the embarrassments which grew up around Sir Henry Mortimer Durand the predecessor of Mr. Bryce, largely through the activity of Lady Susan Townley, the British embassy. It is said that Lady Townley complained to persons who took the report to the ears of the king and of the other persons who have to do with such matters that the former British ambassador and his wife were not nearly so intimate with President and Mrs. and Miss Roosevelt as were many another pair in Washington. It is said that there were tears in the voice of Lady Susan when she recounted to the ears of her her friends in London the familiarity with which President Roosevelt dealt with Speck von Sternburg—it was even remarked by the irreverent that the president called him "Specky"—and of the welcome Jusserand always received at the White House. There was told the disastrous social experience of the wife of Sir Henry Mortimer. "Why, she is only the daughter of a country person." Lady Susan is reported to have said of the wife of the ambassador, and she was reported RECEPTION ROOM to have said other things with more sting in them. Lady Susan even set up a sort of rival social center to that which the ambassador and his wife maintained in a half-hearted way. Any long social effort was sure to make Mrs. Durand till, and her heart was not in the work of smoothing the path of her husband by being on the most intimate terms with official life sisters who could most help him. In the natural order of affairs, Mrs. Bryce would be outranked and preceded to dinner by a score of British women now in Washington if she were not the wife of the ambassador. After all, however, the Englishman and the wife of the Englishman think enough of their governmental representatives to how graceful to even a commoner and the wife of a commoner if there is but enough tact on the other side to make the social tasks more or less easy. It is believed that many little social problems were considered carefully before Mr. Bryce was so signally honored by his country, and that the importance of keeping an eye on the social aspect of life at the capital was considered at some length by him and the persons having to do with his appointment. Mrs Bryce has been much interested in many of the movements in Great Britain which have counterparts in this country and which are furthered by the most prominent of American women. She has done considerable philanthropic work of an unestentious kind. She is interested in the ballot for women, but it is understood that she believes that the time is not yet ripe to give her English sisters the suffrage. In her native city of England she was one of the most active and best known of all the workers, and she showed much of the same sort of ability that her husband has sbown in the field of literature. It is another field which she will enter in Washington, however. She will have to cross swords with some of the best masters fence in the United States, not in the world. The increased importance of the British mission in Washington has made its social importance relatively large. Whether Mrs. Bryce will show the tact, the social grace and the requisites of leadership which must be shown if the wife of even a most eminent commoner is to have absolutely unquestioned social precedence over scions of some of the oldest families of England is a problem. Those who know her, however, and her husband, and the extent of their study of American life, believe that Mrs. Bryce will go smoothly over the spots which --- made such rough going for the former ambassador and his wife. As chief secretary for Ireland, Mr. Bryce had more than a little experience in social diplomacy, and it was the same with Mrs. Bryce. Mr. and Mrs. Bryce have many traditions of British hospitality before them when they take up their duties at the British embassy at Washington. The mansion itself is larger and more costly than the embassy of any other power in Washington. It is an impressive and stately building, with an air of British solidity about it. Even the casual visitor recognizes it as being unlike the surrounding houses and acknowledge the fitness of things when told that it is the home of the British ambassador. The house is admirably adapted for large entertainments. To the right is the ambassador's study communicating with the chancellery, which has its own entrance and is quite separate from the house proper. On the other side are two large communicating drawing rooms opening into a beautiful ballroom, which leads into the dining-room. The ballroom is, with one exception, the largest in the city, and the dining-room is spacious enough to enable between 50 and 60 persons to be entertained to dinner. SILENCE CLUB OF PARIS Members Do Not Talk Unless They Have Something to Say. "It is not surprising that the first year of the Silence club of Paris has closed with such gratifying results that the club may be said to have achieved success in its decidedly unique sphere of usefulness," remarked a psychologist to a Washington Star man. WILLIAMS "I look for similar clubs to be established in this country among the cult, as their foundation and purpose is anything but a joke or of a freakish nature. The idea is new in this country, however, though the success of the Paris institution will give it an impetus among the advanced thinkers among us and those who have made the interesting problem of mental philosophy a critical or a pastime study. "The rules of the society do not call for absolute silence, but the members are supposed not to talk unless they have something to say. Chatter is absolutely tabooed. Each member pledges himself to avoid noise places and participation in public demonstrations. At a recent meeting the members declared that since they had joined the club their nervous systems were in much better condition than before they became members." "Of course such a club could not be composed of the fair sex, even though they were all devout believers in and followers of psychological teachings. A congregation composed of silent women would be impossible of conception, and while our fair sisters may experience chagrin that they are to be shut out of participating in any form of club life among themselves that is also indulged in by their brothers, this is one form of assembly that bars them out. Neither would politicians be eligible for membership, unless as a disciplinary measure. "The club is based upon the sound psychological principle of not doing unnecessary things or calling the brain cells into play by unnecessary thought. In practical everyday life this principle is exemplified in the establishment of retreats among certain of the religious creeds to which members may repair for meditation and rest, and in medical circles it is shown in another form in the so-called rest cure. If one wishes to enter into a study of a mild form of this particular principle, let him consider the amount of wasted energy, physical and mental, that the average person each day expends in needless talk and needless action; it will be found to be predigious. "All rules of mechanics converge to the concentration of force and elimination of waste energy. In human affairs nearly every individual endeavors to expend as much energy as he can in the simplest as in the greatest of his endeavors, seeming to think that the more force he puts into an act, a thought or a speech the better it is."

When Bishop Talbot, now of the central Pennsylvania diocese, was "the cowboy bishop" of Idaho and Wyoming he never overlooked an opportunity of securing contributions for the missionary work in which he took such delight. On one occasion, while attending a meeting of church dignitaries in St. Paul, he was chatting with some other clergymen on the steps of his hotel when several hoboes came along. One of them approached and asked for aid. Bishop Talbot took him aside and after a short but earnest conversation the other tramps saw something pass from hand to hand. "What did he give you?" asked the other hoboes when they all started away. "Didn't give me nothing." was the disgusted reply. "I gave him a dollar for his blamed new cathedral in Laramie." CASE OF ECZEMA IN SOUTH. Buffered Three Years—Hands and Eye Most Affected—Now Well and Is Grateful to Cuticura. "My wife was taken badly with eczema for three years, and she employed a doctor with no effect at all until she employed Cuticura Soap and Ointment. One of her hands and her left eye were badly affected, and when she would stop using Cuticura Soap and Ointment the eczema came back, but very slightly; but it did her a sight of good. Then we complied with the instructions in using the entire set of Cuticura Remedies and my wife is entirely recovered. She thanks Cuticura very much and will recommend it highly in our locality and in every nook and corner of our parish. God bless you for the sake of suffering humanity. I. M. Robert, Hydropolis, La., Jan. 5 and Sept. 1, 1906." Took Sensible View of Life. Lindley Murray, the grammarian, a native of Pennsylvania, who died in 1826, had views of life that were quite as correct as his principles of English grammar. He wrote: "I was persuaded that a truly sincere mind could be at no loss to discern the just limits between a safe and competent portion and a dangerous profusion of the good things of life. These views of the subject I reduced to practice, and terminated my mercantile concerns when I had acquired a moderate competency." FEW KNOW THIS.

There is no more perplexing trouble for a physician to treat than debility cases, especially in women, in which there is no acute disease but in which the patient every day sinks lower and lower despite changes of medicine and similar experiments. That Dr. Williams' Pink Pills will restore health under these conditions is no speculation but the fact has been proved in hundreds of cases like that of Mrs. Sarah Ramsey, of 1008 St. John St., Litchfield, Il. She says "I never felt well after my first child was born. I had a gnawing pain in my stomach and could not hold any food down. My head ached a great deal and sometimes the pain went all through my body. I had dizzy spells so that I could not stand and seemed to be half blinded with pain. These spells would often last for over an hour. My blood seemed to be in a very poor condition and my hands and feet were like ice. I seemed to be growing weaker and weaker and could not get around to do my work in the house. I was extremely nervous and the least excitement would bring on a dizzy spell. "For a number of years I was under a doctor's care but seemed to get no better. I had heard about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and I began to take them. I soon felt better and gained in weight and strength. My nerves are strong now and I am a well woman in every way."

Resemblance So Striking That Queen Mistakes Are Frequent Among Statesmen and Officials at the National Capital. Striking facial resemblances of men in public life and in official circles in this city are frequently commented upon. There are three men widely known whose similarity of face and form is so striking, says the Washington Star, that queer mistakes of identity are experienced every now and then. The resemblance of the president to his distinguished secretary of the navy and attorney general, Mr. Moody, has always been the subject of remark and now and then of humorous mistakes. Now that Mr. Moody has been elevated or at least transferred to the supreme court of the United States he has come across another double in the person of James Maher, clerk of the supreme court. The resemblance of Senators Aldrich and Foraker is also striking. If Mr. Foraker's well covered head were matched by the hirsute adornment of Mr. Aldrich the resemblance would be complete. But standing side by side they appear as brothers and their similarity is frequently commented upon. Now and then Representative Adin B. Capron of Rhode Island wanders over to the senate end of the capitol, and whenever he does so he gives a shock to some one who upon seeing him is startled at his striking resemblance to the late Senator Quay of Pennsylvania. He is more robust in appearance than his prototype from Pennsylvania and much younger. But the resemblance was always striking. Two senators stand as competitors in the degree of their resemblance to the pictures of a widely advertised doctor, the virtues of whose remedies are announced in the public prints in connection with a picture of the doctor in an attitude of attention with uplifted hand admonishing the sick. These senators are Clay of Georgia and La Follette of Wisconsin. They are enough alike to be brothers were it not for the fact that one is of the most generous build, while the other is below the average height. Both wear their hair pamadour and both can defy the senate when they make up their minds to. Senator Carter, of Montana and Representative Livingston are rivals in the role of replicas of Uncle Sam. When Livingston went to Venezuela some years ago to observe conditions there he was warmly received by the people who knew the United States chiefly by having seen pictures of Uncle Sam. When they saw Livingston they declared that he was Uncle Sam personified, and some of them believe him to be the owner of the United States. Either Carter or Livingston could pass anywhere as the prototype of the typical Uncle Sam without adding any stage paraphernalia. The likeness between Senator Cullom and Speaker Cannon is also frequently remarked, and Mr. Cullom's resemblance to the venerated Lincoln has been commented upon ever since the two knew each other in the stirring days of the war. Representative Lacey and the late Senator Alger were strikingly alike. Whenever Mr. Lacey visited the senate and sat on the divans at the rear of the chamber back of the desk of the Michigan senator the resemblance between the two was remarked by people in the galleries. Since Senator Du Pont of Delaware, the head of the great powder company, took the oath of office he has been mistaken on many occasions for Admiral Schley. Not long ago his right to the floor was questioned by some visitors, who declared that they knew no reason why Admiral Schley should be on the floor, and they finally accounted for his presence there because of his having received by name the thanks of congress. Later they learned their mistake. Queer Objection to Phonograph "Talk about scientific revelations," remarked a U street man to his neighbor in a Fourteenth street car the other day, "but I think a certain lady who lives in an adjoining flat to me has the very latest in the remarkable discovery that second-hand sound waves have a marked effect upon the sensibilities of marine life. It happened this way: A party who lives across the hall from the lady was entertaining a company of friends the other evening and had set his new phonograph in action. The last blaring notes of "Waiting at the Church" were dying away when a ring and taping at the door was heard. The summons was answered, and there stood the scientific woman in question. I must ask you to stop playing that phonograph," she said, "it disturbs my goldfish.—Washington Star. Failing of the Turkey. "Of course, I had plenty of good things to eat during the holidays at home in Mississippi," said Representative Candler to a group of friends "and whenever I eat turkey I am reminded of what the late Gov. McNutt used to say about the bird. McNutt was a great eater. One day some friends were discussing the merits of the turkey as food, when McNutt said: "I think I am a pretty fair judge of good things to eat—front 'possum and taters to terrapin and champagne—but I confess I don't go very heavy on turkey. It is such an inconvenient kind of bird—just a little too much for one man and not near enough for two." A MID-WINTER VERDICT. "Bright Sunshine All Winter," Is What a Western Canada Lady Says. C. J.

"Certainly, old man," said the candidate, as he slapped the voter on the back, "you see that the boys send me to Washington and then come down and look for an office." So in due time the candidate reached congress and the voter arrived with his card. "I have come down to look for an office," announced the voter. "Oh, you are looking for an office," exclaimed the congressman, as he glanced up from a mountain of documents. "Well, my dear man, what kind of an office are you looking for? The post office, the patent office, the weather office, the—" "No, I—" "Oh, well, sir, if it is none of those offices I really haven't the time to direct you.

A Phila. lady, after being benefited herself persuaded her husband to try Grape-Nuts for stomach trouble. She writes: "About eight years ago I had a severe attack of congestion of stomach and bowels. From that time on, I had to be careful about eating, as nearly every kind of food then known to me, seemed to cause pain. "Four years ago I commenced to use Grape-Nuts. I grew stronger and better, and from that time I seldom have been without it; have gained in health and strength and am now heavier than I ever was. "My husband was also in a bad condition—his stomach became so weak that he could eat hardly anything with comfort. I got him to try Grape-nuts, and he soon found his stomach trouble had disappeared.

I was weak and hardly able to get around. The best doctor in DeKalb gave me up and said I could not get well. Mamma was almost crazy about it. One afternoon a lady friend came to see me and told mamma to get me a bottle of WINE OF CARDUI Woman's Relief so she got it, though she had little hopes of its helping. But, praise God I had taken just three bottles, when I was relieved and began to get well right off. I kept right on taking Cardul and now I am well and strong. I feel that I owe my life to Cardul and will never be through praising it." Thousands of ladies have written, like Mrs. Robinson, to tell of the wonderful relief it gave, in the various forms of female disease.

Tuskegee Institute, Ala., February 1, 1907. It is now nearly twelve years since Frederick Douglass, to whom the Negro people owe more than to any other man of our race, for the part he took in securing our freedom, died in Washington. His home at Annapolis, in the suburbs of Washington, still remains, however, and his effort is now being made to preserve this house with its memorials and traditions and made at a permanent memorial to Douglass and the Negro people. An association known as the Preerick Douglass Memorial and Historical Association, has been formed to effect this purpose. The people of our race have a rare opportunity to further the memory of Preerick Douglass and to show their reverence and love for the man, who during the trying times before and after the war, enveloped in his own life, more than any other man of our race, the aspirations and the cause of the Negro people. I have been asked by the officers of the Memorial Association to assist in securing the comparatively small sum of money amounting to some £4,400 and interest necessary to clear off the mortgage on the property and so secure the property for all time to the Association and the Negro people of the United States. We should make Cedar Hill to the Negro people what Mount Vernon is to the white race. All of this can be accomplished if every member of the race would contribute, at once, a small sum of money and send it to me by Post Office order, check, or otherwise, as soon as this communication is read. I am making this appeal by the authority of the officers of the Freedick Donglass Memorial and Historical Association, and with the approval and sympathy of Mr. Donglass immediate family. Now is the time when Mr. Donglass' birthday is being celebrated and talked of in all parts of the country, for the race to show its love for Donglass not only in words, but in deeds. I shall hope to receive, within the next few days this money, which can be sent in sums of twenty-five cents up. Each contributor will receive a receipt for whatever he sends. After the money has been secured to clear off the mortgage, I am sure steps will be taken to put the place in condition to serve the purpose mentioned. The following letters, written to me by the officers of the Frederick Douglass Memorial and Historical Association will make the situation clear: Washington, D.C., December 17, 1966. Dear Mr. Washington: There is an encumbrance of fifty-four hundred dollars ($5,400), bearing 6 per cent, interest, payable semi-annually against the Douglass property. This property consists of about fourteen acres in the heart of Anacostia, on a hill giving a beautiful view of the Potomac River and city for several miles. It is the opinion of experts that when the Government completes the new bridge and the reclamation of the flats, this property will be worth at least $5,000 an acres its actual worth is now $1,500 and acre. It is exempt from taxes by the act of Congress incorporating the Frederick Douglass Memorial and Historical Association. The Association needs at least the $5,400 to lift the mortgage. In the course of time about nine acres of the property could be cut up into building lots and sold, and with the proceeds of such sale Cedar Hill could be enqueued with ample funds to meet the wants of the Douglass Memorial Association in perpetuity.

Free Tuition, Competent Teachers, Modern Buildings, Good Moral Tone, Healthful Surroundings, Reasonable Expenses. To make mayonnaise is indeed a fine art in cookery; unless the greatest care is observed the dressing will be either too thick or too thin, or it will cuddle at the stage when the oil is poured in. Here is a famous recipe for mayonnaise that cannot tail to please the most fastidious: Diplomas from full Normal Course are Life Certificates to teach in the Public Schools of Missouri. Catalogs will be sent on application. BENJAMIN FRANKLYN ALLEN, President, Jefferson City, Mo. Beat the yolks of two eggs until they are creamy and then add, very slowly, three or four tablespoonfuls high grade salad oil, and next two tablespoonfuls of vinegar, slowly, as the oil. Now pour the contents from the mixer into a saucepan of boiling water. You are to continue stirring until the dressing begins to get thick, when it is to be removed from the water and stirred until cool. Now add one-half teaspoonful of salt, two tablespoonfuls French mustard, one teaspoonful sugar. GET BUSY IF YOU WANT WORK! The Afro-American Employment AGENCY WILL GET YOU A JOB Having previously beaten the whites of the two eggs and a fourth of a tumbler of cream, stir these in with the dressing in the order named. As this will make a rather large quantity of dressing you may save half for another time and in that case do not add the whipped cream until you are almost ready to serve at table. Georgia Split Biscuit. Georgia Spin Biscuit Pare and boil three large Irish potatoes until soft. While still hot mash them finely. Add a cup of blended lard and butter, two eggs beaten separately and an yeast cake dissolved in a pint of warm milk. Finally, add enough flour to make a smooth dough. After letting this rise again roll it out on a bread board to the thickness of half an inch. Cut into biscuits; butter each one on the top and place over it another biscuit. Crowd them slightly in the pan to keep from spreading, and brush the tops with a piece of melted butter. They will make their last rising quickly, and should be baked as any other roll would be.
