ONLY PERMANENT HOME OF MINSTRELSY CLOSES Historic Amusement Place in Philadelphia Goes Out of Business—Great Names on Its Programs. Frank Dumont, Matt Wheeler and Hughey Dougherty Blacking Up at the Old Mirror. ONLY PERMAN OF MINST Historic Amusement Place Business—Great Nat Minstrelsy's historic home, the Eleventh Street Opera house, in Philadelphia, has closed forever, and the burnt cork artist is now without any place that is devoted special to his particular kind of entertainment. There is an almost national significance in the fact, for the minstrel show, with its lively part, its songs, its dances, its humor of the end man, may be said to represent the only characteristic form of theatrical entertainment that the United States has produced. When Dovorak, the Bohemian composer, came to the United States to get the material for a symphony, he was so much attracted by the original songs of the negroes as he heard them the plantations that he decided that they would be the national form of melody the new world afforded, and he incorporated them with most beautiful effect in his composition "From the New World." What Dvorak did for these melodies in serious vein the minstrel show does for them in a manner to afford entertainment to the public, and it is a matter of regret that after two generations of continuous minstrelsy, the old building on Eleventh street in the Quaker City is to close its doors forever. The entire history of minstrelsy can be traced through the experiences of this house and those who have performed there. Beginning of Minstrelsy. When it was launched the minstrel show was a form of entertainment had just begun to take definite form, and in its walls have been heard the songs and the jokes of those who were the founders of the special form of amusement. Those who have given study to the student name as the first of the minstrels, George Washington Dixon, who is well known to fame as the "Jip Coon." He began his successful career in the early 30s. But no more than one swallow could make a summer can this lone performer, singing his nigro songs and doing his dances, be termed a "minstrel show." Dan Rice, with his "Jim Crow" song, which was thoroughly in the vein of the negro minstrel song of the present day, and which gave him a vogue so extraordinary that others of the form of entertainment as extended to fill a whole evening. Rice gave a burlesque, something in Frank Dumont, Matt Wheeler and H Old M the form of a comic opera, and he filled it with melodies of the plantation. Rice and his "Jim Crow" were the rage for ten years on both sides of the Atlantic, and then there came Lew Dockstader, One of the Most Noted Graduates of Eleventh Street Opera House.

They claim to have been originated in 1841; their desire evidently being to antecede the Whitlock's Virginia minstrels, which had been formed in 1842. Printer Plans First Show. Whitlock enlisted that he mapped out and planned the first complete minstrel show ever seen in this country. He was a printer, with a great deal of talent in the use of a banjo, and when he mapped out his idea of the first entertainment where there should be no orchestra save that on the negroes should be the melodies of the negroes should be the invited some of his friends with musical skill.

Then he organized his own company, the Sanford's Serenaders and Burlesque Opera troupe. Its plans were very artistic for this kind of entertainment. Many grand operas were then being heard in this country for the first time, and the Sanford company burlesque them in such clever style that it had the audiences in the big cities screaming with laughter. Closed to Black Face Artists Sanford wanted to play permanently in Philadelphia, but his theater burned down at the start of his engagement, and left without a home, he decided to take the Eleventh Street Opera house. This was the beginning of the occupancy of the building by minstrels, there was never a hiatus in the fifty years, and the building weeks ago, when the building closed its doors as the home of the black face artist.

Stude—es. We seem to be getting in on half fare this trip. THE APPEAL. It is said that no other building now standing was the home of one kind of entertainment for so long a period. The litte opera house had been built as a church. The congregation moved to a handsomer building and vacated their premises. Another smaller congregation sought to occupy it, but lacked the funds to complete the purchase after it had been started, and in order to escape losing what money had been put in was forced to sell out to H. S. Cartee, who aspired to run it as a place of amusement. DANGERS OF ALPINE TUNNEL CONSTRUCTI Avalanches, Exposions, Rivers Falling Through and Engulfing Workmen, Among the Difficulties. Those engineering difficulties whose conquering seemed such a marvelous feature of the boring of the Simpson tunnel are made to look insignificant by the obstacles that are being encountered in running from the Simpson a spur that will connect with Berne and open a convenient means of entering Switzerland. The toll of life in boring this spur, which takes the road through the rocky Lotschberg, has been appalling. Avalanches have arisen to bury workmen in their ruins, rivers have opened holes and fallen into the tunnel, drowning those at work there. Minor accidents have daily added to the number of the killed and wounded, and at the present time nothing more than the resolve of these in charge of the operation is keeping them to their gigantic task. The perforation of the Lotschberg was an afterthought of the great Simpson operation. After the tunnel was opened it was seen that if it could Cartee only conducted the house for about ten weeks, but failed so dismally that he in turn was glad to close it out to Sanford. In the combination with which Sanford inaugurated his new policy were J. L. Concross, E. F. Simpson and E. Ilexy. many of the most noted entertainers of their day, Cool White, Dick Sliter, Holden J. Williams, C. Campbell, J. Pearl, O.P. Perry, A. Von Bonhorst, E. F. Dixey, John L. Carncross, J. W. H. Lincoln, Sam Sharpley and Master J. Sanford. The combination was held together virtually intact until 1860, when Carncross and Sharpley left the company and opened up at another theater. The loss of these two favorites was quite a blow, for Carcross was a noted ballad singer, and Sharply was a great comedian. Sanford did not do nearly so well without them, and finally got into financial troubles, which compelled him to give up the house. End Man at Seventy-four When he did so, other capital was quickly forthcoming to put Carncrows in charge. He returned together with Sharpley, and the house then became known as the home of the Carncrows and Dixey company, Dixey being the most popular of the old members who had remained loyal to Sanford. In this early company is to be found on old programs the name of Hughey Dougherty, and it is a point of special interest that when the curtain fell the last time, a few weeks ago, Dougherty, now seventy-four years of age, was still filling the place of end man, and arousing just as much laughter as of yore. Lew Simmons and E. L. Slocum started a minstrel house in opposition to that of the older organization, and it enjoyed ten years of success, the Quaker City supporting both houses, which shows what the minstrel show meant in popularity then. About a dozen years ago Mr. Carncross withdrew from the business, and was succeeded as proprietor by Frank Douse (would until the finish of the house, a new warehouse), a dle man, wrote all the burlesques and conducted the business end. Many noted singers and comedians have appeared at the old house. In addition to those already mentioned were John Diamond, Frank Moran, Eddie Foy, Press Eldridge, Bobby Newcomb, Freddy Walz, Jeff De Angels, Chauney Ocott, Melville Jansen and Vic Richards. Traveling combinations of minstrels, like Dockstader and Primrose and West's still remain, but it is a matter for regret that the permanent home should have found it necessary to close.

Then, holding out a copy of "The Guest of Quesnay" to a prosperous looking passenger, he urged: "Buy Booth Tarkington's latest work, sir!" The man looked annoyed. "No! I am Booth Tarkington himself."

Not less than one year's time was lost by this crash, and now the workmen have been intimidated to a point where they will only go ahead slowly for fear of encountering similar experiences at other points. It is, this fear of the unexpected that makes an operation of this kind so difficult. It is never possible to At first sight the project did not seem to be one of a staggering difficulties, especially with the success of the Simplon tunnel in mind. The Simplon tunnel is twelve and a half miles long. St. Gothard is nine and three-quarter miles, Mount Denis seven and a half miles. The latter is about the length required for the spur from the Simplon to Berne. Avalanche is First Blow. It was decided to make use of the line that detaches itself from the Bane-Interlaken line at the station of Spielberg and lake and continue it to Frutigen. Frutigen then the new line passes on the right of the Engstlembach, crossing it a diagonal direction the Kundergrund Valley, and continuing down to Bunderbach. Further it goes through the gallery of Mittholz, and comes out on the high plain of Kraudersteg. The part that presented the trouble was when the engineers sought to tunnel through the Loschberg the seven mile pierment. THE WATER CITY Compressed Air Ingines Used in the Tunnel. The expectation of those in charge of the work had been to see it completed by 1911, thereby making between Berne and the Simplon tunnel the ideal entrance to Switzerland. The inauguration of the work justified their optimism. From the first day, October 15, 1906, until May, 1908, not a single serious interruption was encountered, everything going along in most perfect shape. The first blow to the prospect came in the form of an avalanche in the closing days of May. these are a source of great comfort to the engineers, for they often need to encounter some six hundred lons of water per minute, which throwing off a heat of anywhere 104 to 117 degrees Fahrenheit.

The mysterious forces of natre that convulsed to bring death to thirty workmen gave no advance indication, but suddenly near Groppenbeth there came a crash and uproar, and when rescue parties began their investigations they found not only dad and malmed bodies on all sides, but they found the works almost completely ruined, and a fresh start was necessary. **Explosion Comes Nex** Only two months later, July3, 1908, came the next visitation. The boring had gone to the distance of mire than two miles when an officer arrived. Two whole results was that a great hole was torn in the roof of the operation, a gaping aperture seven yards square through which fell the waters of the river, completely engulfing the whole operatin and drowning sixty workmen. So terrible the damage was brought that it was decided to be absolutely out of question to go further at this Jersevites and Israelite At a university dinner Resident Butler of Columbia and President Wilson of Princeton were present.

It is, this fear of the unexpected that makes an operation of this kind so difficult. It is never possible to tell what malign force of nature may next be encountered. All such work has to be done by hydraulic pressure, this alone meaning the introduction of a large volume of water. In addition there is often a natural infiltration of 750 gallons a minute, and over and above this streams are likely to be encountered which will make the total of water from two to three thousand gallons of water per minute. In building tunnels in this Swiss section it has been the experience often to encounter hot springs, and these are a source of great concern to the engineers, for they often mean to encounter some six hundred gallons of water per minute, which is throwing off a heat of anywhere from 104 to 117 degrees Fahrenheit.

Train of Workman in the Tunnel rators have put in, and in the crisis there is nearly always some adroit engineer to rise to the occasion with some suggestion to save a proposition that has become well nigh helpless. The tunnel which is being taken through the Lotschberg under conditions of such extreme peril follows in general outline the Simplon. Like the greater structure it is egg-shaped about six yards high and four and one-half broad. There is a great deal of sentiment about the determination to put through the Berne spur at any cost, for Switzerland deserves well of those who have been installing the great system of tunnels that is expected to do so for the commerce of France. It must be installed that at the inception of the Simplon tunnel French enthusiasm was only moderate. The misfortunes that attended the unfortunate effort of Ferdinand de Lesseps to duplicate on Panama his successful canal at Suez cost French investors untold sums of Mouth of Tunnel. money, and it was generally thought that the Simplon tunnel going under the pass which Napoleon carried over the Alps and which made him famous would prove chimerical, and never go to completion. But the making of the St. Gothard pierment forced a change in the French attitude. Diverted Immense Traffic. That route, it is figured, diverted eight million dollars worth of traffic every year from the St. Cenis route. Some of this the new tunnel, the Simplon, is undoubtedly restoring. But when France at the beginning of the project hesitated, Switzerland showed every confidence and every eagerness to help, and it must not be forgotten that among those who took a leading part in the work were many Swiss engineers and hundreds of workmen. When the two parts of the tunnel were only brought together, and the plans of the engineers were vindicated in the fact that they fitted almost to a hair breadth it was workmen who had started from Switzerland on the one hand and Italy on the other who greeted each other, and cheered at the triumphal completion of their work. In respect to Swiss imports Genoa, Marseilles and Switzerland will still further benefit when the Berne spur is at last completed. The Berne spur will make the fifth Alpine tunnel, and in its construction all that has been learned of the art of tunnel building by the previous experiments being utilized. In fact without the knowledge that has been acquired by the engineers we have been able to go ahead in the face of all the obstacles that have been encountered. Not until 1912 or 1913 will the work be completed, but the great home of Republicanism in Europe will be a permanent gainer by one of the most noted of engineering triumphs.

IS CLEVER HOSTESS BARONESS TAKAHIRA MOST POPULAR IN WASHINGTON. Wife of Japanese Ambassador Has Won an Enviable Place in the Social Circles of the National Capital. The Baroness Takahira first came to Washington as the wife of the minister from Japan. As such, by her property manners and her cordiality, she won for herself an enduring place in the interest and good will of official Washington. Like a true daughter of Nippon the baroness (in the old days plain "Mad" Takahira) As such, by her pretty manners and her cordiality, she won for her herself an enduring place in the interest and good will of official Washington. Like a true daughter of Nippon the baroness (in the old days plain "Madam" Takahira) kept pace with the fashions of the occident, but her inherent instinct for the skillful use of flowers prompted her to affect a certain style of headress. Always on occasions of state, in lieu of jewel or coronet nestling among the smooth masses of her silky black hair, rested a single crimson rose. The whirling of time brought the little Japanese lady back to Washington in a more conspicuous role. With the prestige obtained by the victorious armies of the emperor of Japan, martial affairs took on new importance and with the rank of "baron" and the diplomatic status of ambassador, the erstwhile minister returned to America. Presiding over one of the most beautifully appointed homes in the city and seventh in line of precedence, the Baroness Takahira has an ambitious place in the life of the community. A tiny little personage, distinctly oriental in type and unusually pretty, Baroness Takahira has very effectually "made good" as an embassy chatelette. Her gowns are marvels of elegance and modishism; also her hats and her jewels. The crimson rose is replaced by a glittering tiara of diamond, dressed to indicate the rank of water, and a diamond necklace and bodice of great value and beauty enhance the delicacy of robes which show the utmost skill of the Parisian craftswoman. The only daughter of the house, dainty little Miss Kiyo, goes about in the gorgeously colored and embroidered robes of a young girl of Japan. Her smooth hair is dressed a la Japanese and the beautifully colored ornaments which signify her unmarried estate are duly worn among her shining braids. Next season, rumor has it, Miss Kiyo is "coming out," and everybody is wondering if she will don European clothes, such as her sister deprived of her, or, if, true to her bringing up, she will sing a single among the smartly gowned Amanda Kiyo pictures figure in her kimono, dresses and quaint jewelled bracelets, brooches and hair ornaments. Miss Kiyo, too, is pretty. She has dark eyes, which nothing escapes, a serene countenance and a demure bearing. Honors to Mai, L'Enfant It is more than a century since Mai, L'Enfant, a favorito engineer officer of Washington, laid out the federal city which eventually was named for the Father of his Country. George Washington believed in the young man, but he was temperamental to a degree and in later years he was scouted as a dreamer. Washington was called a city of houses without streets and of streets without houses. The point was that the engineer forecasted the future. He laid out a city for 50 states instead of 13. But he was too far ahead of the wisdom of his time and left Washington in disgust and died a disastrous man. The enemies anent the removal of his house to Arlington cemetery were appropriate and impressive. Here was a young foreigner living in his lot with us during the struggle for dependence and who fought bravely in peace and war for ideals. He could imagine things a century before they happened. He was a seer and a prophet. Like many other of his kind, he was dead long before his dream came true. The lesson is obvital. Most of us are coldly material in our views and lack imaginative quality. But it cannot be doubted that a hundred years hence our present situation will be looked back in our duty unless we also keep our minds the future and lay our plans in every way, not for the moment, but for the situation which posterity is sure to enjoy. Washington is rapidly becoming one of the most beautiful cities in the world, but it would be now no more than the average rectangular American imagination of a man who was considered a fool by the wiseaces of his generation—Philadelphia Inquirer. "Vine Day" in Washington. The public schools in Washington have just observed what is called "vine day" for the first time. It came about through the inspiration of Miss Susan B. Sipe, instructor of botany in the Washington Normal school, who proposed such action, "to beautify all back fences that abutted on the streets, and on those alleys which are generally used as thoroughfares, by having vines of different kinds planted on either side." The project was promptly indorsed by the local board of education. The climate of the capital city is well adapted to promote the growing of vines.

Avalanches have arisen to bury workmen in their ruins, rivers have opened holes and fallen into the tunnel, drowning those at workthere. Minor accidents have dally added to the number of the killed and wounded, and at the present time nothing more than the resolve of these in charge of the operation is keeping them to their gigantic task. point, and the scene of the operation had to be moved over from the north mouth to the south mouth, near Goppenstein. Not less than one year's time was lost by this crash, and now the workmen have been intimidated to a point where they will only go ahead slowly for fear of encountering similar experiences at other points. It is, this fear of the unexpected that makes an operation of this kind so difficult. It is never possible to The perforation of the Lotschberg was an afterthought of the great Simplon operation. After the tunnel was opened it was seen that if it could be put in touch with Berne, a great help would have been afforded to the region of that town. At first sight the project did not seem to be one of staggering difficulties, especially with the success of the Simplon tunnel in mind. The Simplon tunnel is a half miles long. St. Gothard is nine and three-quarter miles. Mount Denis seven and a half miles. The latter is about the length required for the spur from the Simplon to Berne. Avalanche Is First Blow. It was decided to make use of the line that detaches itself from the Berne-Interlaken line at the station of Spiez, on the Thun-lake and continue it to Frutigen. From there the new line passes on the right of the Engstlegmbach, crossing it a diagonal and continuing down to Bunderbach. Further it goes through the gallery of Mittholz, and comes out on the high plain of Kraudersteg. The part that presented the trouble was when the engineers sought to tunnel through the Lochsberg the seven mile pierment THE WESTERN WESTERN WESTERN Compressed Air Engines Used in the Tunnel. The expectation of those in charge of the work had been to see it completed by 1911, thereby making between Berne and the Simplon tunnel the ideal entrace to Switzerland. The inauguration of the work justified their optimism. From the first day of October 15, 1906, until May 1908, of which there was interruption, everything going along in most perfect shape. The first blow to the prospects came in the form of an avalanche in the closing days of May. There was no warning of its arrival. The mysterious forces of nature that convulsed to bring death to thirty workmen gave no advance indication, but suddenly near Groppenstein there came a crash and uproar, and when rescue parties began their investigations they found not only dead and dead but also injured, but they found the works almost completely ruined, and a fresh start was necessary. Explosion Comes Next. Only two months later, July 23, 1908, came the next visitation. The boring had gone to the distance of more than two miles when an explosion occurred. One of its terrible results was that a great hole was torn in the roof of the operation, a gaping aperture several feet wide. As the waters of the river, completely engulfing the whole operation and drowning sixty workmen. So terrible was the damage wrought out of question to go further at this At a university dinner President Butler of Columbia and President Wilson of Princeton were present. Dr. Butler took particular delight in scoring Princeton. He said the town, the student body, the faculty and the president were sleepy lot. Dr. Wilson replied: "I admit the truth of Dr. Butler's charge, but I congratulate, i.e. very wide awake, in fact. As it is written in the Bible, 'He that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.'" point, and the scene of the operation had to be moved over from the north mouth to the south mouth, near Goppenstein. Not less than one year's time was lost by this accident, the workmen have been intimidated to a point where they will only go ahead slowly for fear of encountering similar experiences at other points. It is, this fear of the unexpected that makes an operation of this kind so difficult. It is never possible to tell what malign force of nature may next be encountered. All such work has to be done by hydraulic pressure, this alone meaning the introduction of a large volume of water. In addition there is often a natural infiltration of 750 gallons a minute, and over and above this streams are likely to be encountered in the total of water from two to three thousand gallons of water*per minute. In building tunnels in this Swiss section it has been the experience often to encounter hot springs, and 100 these are a source of great concern to the engineers, for they often mean to encounter some six hundred gallons of water per minute, which is throwing off a heat of anywhere from 104 to 117 degrees Fahrenheit. Man to Fit Every Crisis. At any instance, at the most unexpected time, there are likely to burst into the cuttings springs of such enormous power and of such heat that the entire mountain seems to be a heated liquid mass.

Workmen's Village at Mouth of Tunnel rators have put in, and in the crisis there is nearly always some adroit engineer to rise to the occasion with some suggestion to save a proposition that has become well nigh helpless. The tunnel which is being taken through the Lotschberg under conditions of such extreme peril follows in general outline the Simpson. Like the greater structure it is egg-shaped about six yards high and four and one-half broad. There is a great deal of sentiment about the determination to put through the Berne spur at any cost, for Switzerland deserves well of those who have been installing the great system of tunnels that is expected to do so for the commerce of France. It must be remembered that at the inception of the French enthusiasm was only moderate. The misfortunes that attended the unfortunate effort of Ferdinand de Lesseps to duplicate on Panama his successful canal at Suez cost French investors untold sums of ```markdown ``` money, and it was generally thought that the Simplon tunnel under the pass which Napoleon carried over the Alps and which made him famous would prove chimerical, and never go to completion. But the making of the St. Gothard pierment forced a change in the French attitude. Diverted Immense Traffic. That route, it is figured, diverted eight million dollars worth of traffic every year from the St. Cenis route. Some of this the new tunnel, the Simplon, is undoubtedly restoring. But France at the beginning of the project dedicated, Switzerland showed every confidence and cagerness to help, and it must not be forgotten that among those who took a leading part in the work were many Swiss engineers and hundreds of workmen. When the two parts of the tunnel were finally brought together, and the plans of the engineers were vindicated in the fact that they fitted almost to a hair breadth it was workmen who had started from Switzerland on the one hand and Italy on the other who greeted each other, and at the triumphal completion of their work. In respect to Swiss imports Genoa, Marseilles and Switzerland will still further benefit when the Berne spur is at last completed. The Berne spur will make the fifth Alpine tunnel, and in its construction all that has been learned of the art of tunnel building by the previous experiments being utilized. In fact without the knowledge that has been gained it would not have been possible to go ahead in the face of all the obstacles. Not until 1912 or 1913 will the work be completed, but the great home of Republicanism in Europe will be a permanent gainer by one of the most noted of engineering triumphs. In the Puppy Class.

BARONESS TAKAHIRA MOST POPULAR IN WASHINGTON. Wife of Japanese Ambassador Has Won an Enviable Place in the Social Circles of the National Capital. The Baroness Takahira first came to Washington as the wife of the minister from Japan. As such, by her pretty manners and her cordiality, she won for herself an enduring place in the interest and good of official Washington. Like a true daughter of Nippon the baroness (in the old days plain "Ma- As such, by her pretty manners and her cordiality, she won for herself an enduring place in the interest and good will of official Washington. Like a true daughter of Nippon the baroness (in the old days plain "Madam" Takahira) kept pace with the fashions of the occident, but her inherent instinct for the skillful use of flowers prompted her to affect a certain style of headress. Always on occasions of state, in lieu of jewel or coronet nestling among the smooth masses of her silky black hair, rested a single crimson rose. The whirligig of time brought the little Japanese lady back to Washington in a more conspicuous role. With the prestige obtained by the victorious armies of the emperor of Japan, diplomatic affairs took on importance and with the rank of "harpo" and the diplomatic status of ambassador, the erstwhile minister returned to America. Presiding over one of the most beautifully appointed homes in the city and seventh in line of precedence, the Baroness Takahira has an ambitious place in the life of the community. A tiny personage, distinctly oriental in type and unusually pretty, Baroness Takahira has very effectually "made good" as an embassy chateau. Her gowns are marvels of elegance and modishism; also her hats and her jewels. The crimson rose is embroidering tiara of diamonds, fashioned above the rank of the wearer, and a diamond necklace and bodice jewels of great value and beauty enhance the loveliness of robes which show the utmost skill of the Parisian craftswoman. The only daughter of the house, dainty little Miss Kiyo, goes about in the gorgeously colored and embroidered robes of a young girl of Japan. Her smooth hair is dressed a la Japanese and the beautifully colored ornaments which signify her unmarried estate are duly worn among her shining braids. Next season, rumor has it, Miss Kiyo is "coming out," and every woman wearing if she will don European clothes or her sister debentures will wear, if it is to her bringing up, she will mingle the smartly gowned American girls a picturequeque in her kimoon, sandals and qualit jeweled bracelets, brooches and hair ornaments. Miss Kiyo, too, is pretty. She has dark eyes, which nothing escapes, a serene countenance and a demure bearing. Honors to Mai, L'Enfant It is more than a century since Mai, L'Enfant, a favorito engineer officer of Washington, laid out the federal city which eventually was named for the Father of his Country. George Washington believed in the young man, but he was temperamental to a degree and in later years he was scouted as a dreamer. Washington was called a city of houses without streets and of streets without houses. The point was that the engineer forecasted the future. He laid out a city for 50 states imposed of 31. But he was too far ahead of the time of his time and left Washington in disgust and died a disappointed man. The ceremonies anent the removal of his bones to Arlington cemetery were appropriate and impressive. Here was a young foreigner in his lot with us during the struggle for independence and who fought bravely in peace and war for ideals. He could imagine things a century before they happened. He was a seer and a prophet. Like many other of his kind, he was dead long before his dream came true. The lesson is obvious. Most of us are coldly material in our views and lack imaginative quality. But it cannot be doubted that a hundred years hence our present status will be looked back upon as crude. We shall fall in our duty unless we also keep our eyes on the future and lay our plans in every way, not for the moment, but for the situation which posterity is sure to enjoy. Washington is rapidly becoming one of the most beautiful cities in the world, but it would be now no more than the average rectangular American city save for the genius and imagination of a man who was considered a fool by the wiseaces of his generation—Philadelphia Inquirer. The public schools in Washington have just observed what is called "vine day" for the first time. It came about through the inspiration of Miss Susan B. Sipe, instructor of botany in the Washington Normal school, who proposed such action, "to be尊重 back all fences that abutted on streets, and on those alleys which are generally used as thoroughfares, by having vines of different kinds planted on either side." The project was promptly indorsed by the local board of education. The climate of the capital city is well adapted to promote the growing of vines. HAVE YOU READ THE APPEAL?

The New Orleans Times-Democrat has had a discussion with one of its correspondents on miscegenation in the south. The journal intimated that the white people of the south are opposed to that practice, from which opinion the correspondent disents and he seems to have the better of the argument. He shows that the laws of Louisana furnish no adequate remedy for the evil. Louisana and other southern states have laws prohibiting racial intermarriage and in some there are anti-concubinage laws, but it is a well known fact that those laws do not do much in the way of preventing the existence of illicit relations between the races. The reason is that southern legislation affords no protection to the Afro-American woman nor her half-breed offspring. ```markdown ``` Copyright 1909, by Harris & Ewing. HON. FRANKLIN MAC VEAGH Secretary of the United States Treasury. M. B. HON. FRANK H. HITCHCOCK. Postmaster General Elected President of the Washington Playgrounds Association. In no southern state can the black woman resort to law to compel the white father to support the half-breed offspring. Should she attempt to do so she would be laughed out of court. Yet it would seem that such a law would strike at the very root of the evil. When Louisiana adopts such a law, the T. D. can have a good basis for its argument—not before. HARVARD vs. HARVARD Ex-president Elliot of Harvard having tabooed racial intermarriages, now comes Prof. Ripley, also of Harvard, in an effort to prove their desirability. The professor points to the Balkan States to show that the segregation of different nationalities into groups is sure to work mischief and he might have added all the rest of Europe as proof of the proposition and thrown in the United States for good measure. Prof. Ripley, however, sharply draws the line as to the intermarriage of races of different colors. We opine that the professor will find it difficult to preserve his firing line intact, for the intermarriage of whites and Indians is not condemned by public Prof. Ripley, however, sharply opinion and the half-breed Indian is recognized in the best society. The senators from Oklahoma and Kansas, and ex-governor Vardaman of Mississippi are of Indian decent; Sam Houston married an Indian, and the descendants of Pochontas rank among the aristocrats of Virginia. The intermarriage of races differing in color has passed beyond the jurisdiction of the Harvard tribunal. The settlement of the question will not be made by Harvard theories but by the varied conditions in which men are placed. In many cases the choice is simply between legal marriage or concubinage. The Southern States by stringent laws, prohibit marriage between white and black and thus encourage and promote the system of illicit sexual relations so prevalent in that section. Harvard may discuss but while the discussion is going on, the question is settling itself, without any regard to scientific theories. TAFT HAMPTON TRUSTEE. President Taft again shows his interest in the Afro-American people by accepting a place as Trustee of Hampton institute. Mr. Taft's letter to Dr. H. B. Frissell, principal of the school was as follows: "White House, Washington, D. C., May 14, 1908—My Dear Mr. Frissell: I have your note announcing my election as a member of the board of Hampton trustees, and shall be very glad to contribute what little I can to the continued success of the school. The election of Hon. William Lorimer as the junior United States senator of Illinois furnishes an object lesson to all boys who desire to rise in the world. He was born in England very poor, came to this country in 1866 when he was but 5 years old and his life has been one of hard fighting. He started fighting to support a family by blacking shoes when a boy of 10. From this point he passed through the stages in his career of newsboy, driver of a horse car, laborer in the stock yards, local political leader, and through a number of bitter fights to a seat in the house of representatives and finally in the senate. At every step in his progress he was obliged to fight against criticism and abuse. Only twice in his political life was he defeated. Each of these times he quickly recovered and soon took the lead again, and now he is a Senator of the United States. Boys, hitch your wagon to a star.

BY NIXOLA GREELEY-SMITH. "My children on one side, my art on the other. They are equal, and I could not live without either of them." You have heard of her as Ernestine Schumann-Heink, the world's greatest contralto. But that is only one side of the scale. On the other, weighing in even balance with her artistic distinction, is her achievement as the happy and successful mother of eight happy and successful children. She sat yesterday at the head of the inner table in her beautiful country one at Little Falls No. 1. Washington has a den besides. This I was not allowed to visit, for on the stairway leading to it was posted in his best eight-year-old handwriting a large sign reading "Positively No Admittance." Perhaps George Washington is a Mason. I am sure he is an incipient one, at any rate, because a young man who accompanied his mother and me over the house, having given him a grip or a password, was permitted to inspect the sanctum while we mere women waited meekly at the foot of the stairs. After that we returned to the dining room for strawberries and coffee and "stollen," or German cake. I asked Ferdinand, the second oldest boy, what had become of "Scotty," an ancient donkey, of whom I had heard much on a previous visit. "Scotty," name and all, was an inheritance from a former owner, and Mme. Schumann-Heink told me of her embarrassment when, having asked her friend Scotti, the singer to pay her a visit, she realized that he might think the children, in mistaken zeal, had named their pet donkey after him. But the long-eared "Scotty" was a gentleman, and committed suicide by eating too much green corn, to present the threatened catastrophe. "He ate and ate and ate until he burst," said Mme. Schumann-Heink graphically. "Yes," added Ferdinand, "and now unless you have a watch with you, you have to go in the house to learn the time. Scotty always brayed at 12 o'clock. He never missed it. He was as good as a factory whistle." And here by universal request of the dinner table Ferdinand Schumann-Heink gave a realistic imitation of "Scotty" braying at 12. Schumann-Heink, the mother, beamed from the head of the board. Only once did Schumann-Heink, the singer, make herself evident. This was when in answer to some remark of a guest she sang a bar from "My Old Kentucky Home." Gives a Bit of Advice. Then coffee was brought. "What, not take cream, fraunl!" she said to me. "You must take it to encourage my cow." Then she looked down the line SCENE HE KME. SCHUMANN HEINK. MEE. SCHUMANN HEINK. of children and amended "our" cow. "I only bought her day before yesterday and she gives eight quarts of milk. You must encourage her." So I took the cream and with it the final bit of philosophy from the chatelaine, or as she prefers to call herself, the "haus frau." "These people who talk about marriage being detrimental to a woman's art make me angry. They think too much about themselves. Get married, Fraulein. It will help your work. It will make you see better. It will give you more heart, more soul. "Life is simple, art is simple, love is simple. An artist should not waste her time thinking what a great artist she is. I have success in my art. I have greater success in my children. One has never hurt, but always helped the other. "The reason I care so much for America is because of the respect for family life here. People in Germany said to me, 'But American women are so free, so bold!' But I answered, 'No, they are simply not servants to their husbands; they work with them, shoulder to shoulder.' I was so home-sick for America on this last visit. An American friend whom I met in Dresden said to me: 'Topsy,'-all my friends call me names—Topsy, why do you always pull a long face at your audiences here? At home you are always so smiling, so sure of yourself" And it was true—and here I am in America again, and I am smiling!" In proof of which she smiled a large, motherly smile upon her guests and all the world. When the Rule Fails.

But that is only one side of the scale. On the other, weighing in even balance with her artistic distinction, is her achievement as the happy and successful mother of eight happy and successful children. She sat yesterday at the head of the dinner table in her beautiful country home at Little Falls, N. J. Three of her younger boys—Walter, Ferdinand and George Washington—and her thirteen-year-old daughter, Marle, were beside her. An American flag floated from a tall flag pole in front of the house in token of the singer's full-fledged American citizenship. Just back from a great artistic triumph in Germany, where she sang the role of Clytemnestra in the first production of Strauss' new opera "Electra," at Dresden, Mme. Schumann-Heink was filled with a large impatience of certain heresies which have arisen during her absence, notably that promulgated by Olive Fremstad that no woman can be a great artist and a good mother at the same time. Has Eight Replies to That. "I have eight reasons to prove that a woman can be an artist and a mother at the same time," said the singer. "It would not be modest for me to call myself a great artist, but I will boast that I am a good mother. The world can say whether I am an artist or not." "I am the daughter of an Austrian officer—one of six children. We were very poor, but always my mother managed to have enough bread for us, enough clothes and enough love. I learned from her what real happiness is—to have a home and children. I married and thought to have a quiet domestic life. But almost at once I had to work. I sang in concerts before my first child was born. Until after I had three children I was too poor to have any one to care for them while I was singing. Worked for Their Sake Worked for Their Sake. "I would put them to bed, lock the door and go to fill my engagement. When I returned I would mend their clothes and prepare things for their breakfast the next morning. I nursed all my children. I have practiced trills, colorature, everything, with a baby at my breast. Every child I had made me more ambitious for my art. I was poor. Sometimes so poor I did not know where to get the next day's bread. But I said to myself, 'I will work hard so my children will not be poor like me.' And I did so. Everything you see here my children and my art made me work for. And I had not only the children to work for, but sisters and brothers as well." Madame Schumann-Heink spoke proudly, yet with the simplicity which is characteristic of her, and distinguishes her from all other opera singers I have ever met. The home which her art has built for her children is one that any woman must be proud of. The house, crowded with gifts from kings and emperors—the latest two pencil drawings of the emperor and empress of Germany done by Frau von Gersdorf of the empress's court—overlooks eighty acres of field and woodland, and the four children whom I met yesterday prove that to this woman for whom singing is an instinct, maternity is a marvellous art.

In times of peril in Persis the medical missions have proved to be the safest places not only for Euro- eans but also for the Persians. them- selves. Dr. Enimeline Stuart, niece of the veteran Bishop Stuart, had a remarkable story to tell of her own experiences when preparing to leave the country. : ‘The only escort available through the disturbed country from. Ispahan to Teheran’ was offered to her by the military authorities, and she accepted it, to fing that it entailed traveling on a gun carriage harnessed six in hand and that for ten days double stages were effected at a hard gallop, while the shelter of the carriage formed her canopy at night. Dr. Stuart testified to the unfailing courtesy and Kindliness of the officers to the traveler placed in their charge and reassured the committee as to the absolute safety of the missionaries during this period of unrest by saying that the mission compound at Ispa- han was one of the safest places in the city. In fact, -members. of the families of officers’ of the Shah have in the last few months resorted to it as an asylum, fadien Weomn's Pine deuuiex- “It is a rare thing to see the wom- eh of India these days wearing any valuable gold jewelry, as they did in years gone by,” said Charles Gawtrey of Bombay, “When I first went to the Orient the women of the upper class com: monly owned and wore thick chains and bracelets of the finest gold and of exquisite workmanship. In these times of pinching poverty they are too reduced financially to possess any expensive ornaments, and instead of the gold trinkets of thelr affluent days they now wear cheap plated or imita- tion stuff they would have formerly despised. It is pitiable to witness, as 1 have, the decline in the fortunes of the people. Abject poverty is seen everywhere, and the gaunt specter of starvation is ever at the side of mil- Hons of human-beings in that ill fated Tana.” Tooted Whistle to Save His House. , Discovering the roof of his own home blazing, but forbiden by the rules to leave his cab, W.

Lives of Native Soldiers Too Precious to Risk Against Them to Risk Against Them. The outlaws of Tonkin whom the French called pirates are properly speaking brigands who infest the country both on land and water. One of their resorts is the province of Bacinh, where they have just murdered a French officer. There the brigands openly and successfully defy the forces of the government. Long impunity in that quarter has made them numerous and formidable. This need arouse no wonder considering that the troops in the field consist of native soldiers whose lives are too precious to be risked in frontal attacks on brigand fastnesses. Just before the murder of the officer a band of brigands made its appearance on the railway line between Hanoi and Bocinhi and inflicted loss on some native levies who encountered them. Upon this the resident sent for a detachment of native regulars to deal a blow at the enemy. The troops met the brigands intrenched in a village, one house in which they had turned into a fortress, so to speak. The commander of the troops found himself in a fix. To send the regulars across the open to carry the stronghold by storm, under heavy fire from the brigands, meant heavy loss and certain death to many of his men to little purpose. The only alternative was to blow up the house along with its garrison. But this resource failed him from no explosives being at hand. The result was that the brigands escaped. A Haiphong paper rightly wonders why the troops in the field are not supplied with melinite bombs. Such engines of distruction would save much loss of life among the soldiery operating against the brigands. Yet no bombs are supplied to the troops, though the brigands have often defied them safely from fortified houses, which the troops would not attack from fear of loss of life not worth while to incur against outlaws. The result of this weak-kneed policy is that the brigand bands in that section of Tonkin increase steadily in numbers and strength. Pessimists say that in time they will become too many to be terrified by melinite bombs. Towboats on Western Rivers Towboats on Western Rivers. Some of the inland towboats reach huge proportions. The largest ever built to ply the Western rivers tows coal on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. It is made almost exclusively of steel, and is twice as powerful as the next largest boat. The coal towing capacity of this peculiarly constructed steamer when in barges holding 12,000 bushels each would cover an area equal to a city block. The fact that the river boats are still built of the same lines as those of fifty years ago is not due to lack of invention on the part of the builders, but they are retained on account of the peculiarities of the streams on which they are used. Exhaustive tests have proved that the old original type of construction with the stern wheel is far better than any of the other types. Swearing to Validity of an Excuse. Kissing the book seems to be on the point of being consigned to well deserved oblivion, and England might easily taken pattern by the form of oath that obtains in the Channel islands. The twelve rectors are ex-officio members of the states of Jersey, and in common with other constituent elements of the same body they may frequently be seen with the uplifted hand swearing to the validity of the excuse that another member is absent through illness. The custom has been handed down from a Norman ancestry that ever recognized the sacred finality of putting a man on his oath, and emphasizes most strikingly the parallel values of the right hand and of a man's plighted word. "Poing-destre" is still a Jersey surmire. A Fable Perhaps When George Ade was coming from New Orleans last winter he noticed, among the race track men on the train, one tan-shed sheet writer with the largest feet he had even seen. And he furthermore testifies and affirms that the sheet writter, on rising in the morning, discovered that the porter had shined one shoe and a suitcase. "Congratulations, old man! So it's a girl, eh? I suppose you'd rather have had a boy?" "Well, I wouldn't say that. You see, nowadays it doesn't make much difference. It won't be long now before the girls will be able to vote and run for office just like the boys." Table Talk. A story in which Webster is said to have figured: The stateman was once asked by a woman at a dinner given in his honor, how he varied in his eating, and what he generally ate, "Madam," the answer ran, "I vary in eating in this repect: sometimes I eat more, but never less." The Exceptions "Binks has a fine new apartment. "Everything stationary in it, I suppose." "Absolutely everything—except his wife and the cook." Ask: And way, my little man, do they call you flannel? Boy—Aw, because me muddies say shrink from washing. Wagner Hall for Rent. Persons desiring to rent Wagner Hall, cor.
