The Appeal

VOL. 29. NO. 3. THE FORTHED BLACK CITADEL ORE than 5,000 years ago there were gathered at the command of Moses, on the plains of Assemblage in the valley of Mount Sinai, all of the children of Israel to listen to the reading of the laws that were revealed to Moses during the "forty days and forty nights" he spent in the midst of a cloud communing with the God of the "chosen people." M make peace claims, making great nations have risen to mighty power, only to go down to decay and oblivion. Unpeopled plains have been converted into hives of industry, and hives of industry have reverted back to unpeopled plains. New lands have been discovered and popped and new seas have been navigated and charted. Everywhere progress has changed the historical and geographical importance of nations and countries. Here, alone, in the Mount Shai Valley, where the nation that gave us the Savior first spreng into prominence, progress has stood still. Surrounded by the peaks of the "Forty Martyrs," all is hushed and still on the plain where once the um of thousands of voices was heard, and where the valley rang with the resounding march of the hosts of Israel. On the peak of Ras-es-Safsafah, the cross, the symbol of Christianity, has been planted on the very suet upon which Moses, the great law giver and leader of the Jews, stood and gave to his people the ten commandments, the basis of all religious beliefs and the foundation of all law, moral and civil. Now unpeeled and deserted, the very loneness of the place is aweinspiring, and the 'silence of the tomb' is not more impressive than the tomb that envelopes Ras-es-Safsafah and its surroundings. The mount on which God is said to have revealed himself to Moses is situated in the southern half of the so-called peninsula of Sinai, projecting into the northern extremity of the Red Sea, between the Gulf of Suez on the west and the Gulf of Akabah on the east. This park of the peninsula consists of a mass of granite and porphyry mountains which may be divided into three groups, a northwestern, reaching in Jebel Seral a height of 6,712 feet; a central, including Jebel Kerkin, 6,575 feet; and an eastern and southern, whose highest peak is Jebel Umm Shomer, 8,449 feet. Whether the Biblical Sinal was Jebel Umm Shomer of Jebel Musa was long disputed by leading authorities. The former was advocated by Eusebius, Jerome, Cosmas Indicopleustes, and In more modern times by Lepus and Ebers. Jebel Musa, however, is preferred by most authorities, and is favored by tradition (which dates, however, only from Christian times), indicated by the name 'Mountain of Moses' in the book of Exodus, on which it goes back to the days of Justinian. The northern peak of Jebel Musa, known as Ras-es-Safsafah (6,540 feet), meets the conditions required, since there is an open space at its base sufficient to accommodate a large encampment. Standing on the lofty summit of Mount Sinai, what thoughts and visions are conjured up as one contemplates that there on the vast plain of Assemblage that stretches before the eye hundreds of feet below, fifty centuries ago, the children were delivered to the assembled children of Israel. Excepting for the Mount Sinai monastery, which from these heights looks like a little toy fort built of blocks, the region is still and hushed, and almost deserted. The massive walls of the monastery raised by the peace-loving and God-fearing monks under Justinian in 527 A. D.—as a protection against the marauding bands of Bedouins that infested that part of the country when the wealth of an empire was possessed by the builders and occupants of the monastery and the Bedouins years ago. Today, however, the Christian world keeps a watchful eye over this mountain monastery and its contents, and the Bedouins, knowing this to be the fact, keep on friendly as well as visiting terms with the monks. In the monastery are stored the precious books narrating the history of Christianity in the tongue of every Christian nation. Slowly the brotherhood of Mount Sinai monks are dying out, there being but twenty or twenty-five at the present, the life and the pay—not the money, but tobacco and alcohol, the ducement for young recruits to join the forces that year by year are growing smaller. In the course of a few years the taurerur of the monastery will remain but a memory to remind one of the greatness of its founder, Justinian. Looking northwest from Jebel Musa to Wadi el THE APPEAL.

Along one of the branches of the Cheyenne river in South Dakota there stands a hill called Matoti, or Bear's House. Tradition tells this Indian legend about it: Once upon a time an Indian hunter was out on the chase. He wandered for many a day through forest and plain, over hill and dale, till he came to a spot where Bear's House is. He came to a place where bear's House he met a beautiful Indian woman. As soon as he saw her he wanted to marry her. Long and hard was the wooing, for the Indian woman was unwilling to marry the stranger. At last she consented, but she made the stranger promise that he would never in the future hunt or kill the bear. This animal was her totem, sacred to her and an object of her worship. The hunter faithfully promised to obey her wishes and to hunt all other animals and leave the bear unharmed. Then they were married and lived on in happiness and contentment for many a day. Once it happened that the hunter started on the chase. Early he went and roamed all through the neighboring forest without killing a single thing. At last he became weary and tired from the chase and resolved to return to his wigwam. As he was approaching his home he saw in the dusky twilight the dark and shaggy form of a huge bear making straight for the wigwam. "Now my wife will be lost," he thought, "for if the bear reaches there before me he will surely kill her." Doubt at first stayed his hand, for he remembered his marriage vow. But fear and anxiety overcame his doubts. He raised his bow to his shoulder and aimed at the animal. One arrow sent straight to the heart laked the animal low. What the animal came near he saw instead of the bear the lifelike form of his wife. The hill where they lived is still called the Bear's House, or Matoti Hill. Not for Publication. "Of course, you have some convictions in matters of public concern." "More," replied Farmer Corntosel. "Well, why don't you come out and express them." "I don't.

Loja the traveler who for days has been weared by the sight of nothing else but the monotonous blue of the burning sky and the dreary desert all about him is exhilarated, pleased and rested by the sight of those beautiful cypress trees with their cool, dark foliage down in the wad—the Arabic name for hollow or valley. One can easily imagine anything more dreary than the valley of the rock-bound hollow in the desert of all their majesty in the gardens of the monastery of the Sinatric monks on St. Catherine, one of the mountains of the range called the "Forty Martyrs," and great pride is taken by these men of God in these trees, which for a thousand years have broken the monotony of the desert waste and have cast their welcome shade wherein the weary traveler and the travel-stained caravan may rest and take shelter. For more than a year the Israelites were encamped in the valley of Sinai when they again landed with wanderings in search of the promised land. Thus the minor leader proceeded to the land of Canaan, their native dying as they came in sight of the country which God had promised to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. One of the most important places in Asia Minor, on the road from Constantinople to Konia, is the ancient town of Afum Kara-Hissar, whose extraordinary citadel, rising 800 feet in its very center, was the Byzantine fortress of Aeroenus, where in 730 A. D. the Arabs, under the leader of the Sidil battel el Ghazi, were by the stairway of this most picturesque town to climb up the stairway cut in the rock of the citadel brings one to the very summit where there still remain the mediaeval Turkish fortifications. Like all other towns in Asia Minor, Afum Kara-Haras is built of mud bricks. Its streets run in every direction of the compass. Although the language spoken there is Turkish, there is a large Armenian population. It is as dirty a place as one can imagine. Overnight with half-starved, howling dogs in the day, the night is made hideous by their mad attempts to clean up the refuse thrown in the streets. It is a good place to be avoided by the fastidious. The town boasts of a fine bazaar, churches for the Armenians and mosques for the Turks, as well as school for both classes. The Armenians have made a remarkable effort to make their part of the town inhabitable and sanitary. The story of the birth and infancy of the founder and first legislator of the Israelite nation is the treasured gems of Hebrew literature. He wished of the tribe of Levi, and his mother, Jochebeth (his father's name was Amram), hid him three months in defiance of the edict of Pharaoh, who, before the growth of his Hebrew slave population, ordered all their male children to be put to death.

Switzerland No Paradise for the Speeder, as Inhabitants Do Not Welcome This New Mode of Travel — Speed Limit Boulogne, France — There are more ways than one of setting out for the Tyrol, and if a short sea voyage is an object, then nothing can better the Folkestone Boulogne route. Otherwise the hook of Holland and a journey down the Rhine is a good alternative. We chose the short sea trip and started with a run from Boulogne to Arras, a town not devoid of interest. Then on to Rheims, which is always a satisfactory halt, first, because it possesses one of the most perfect of all the French cathedrals, and, secondly, on account of the excellence of the hotel—a consideration not to be deprised after a day's run. We had intended staying a night at Bar le Dau after Rheims' but on arriving there we were so unprepossessed and only hotel given in our guide we decided to go on to Nancy, which we reached quite after being caught in a terrific thunder-storms. We made our way into Switzerland through the Vosges country, staying a night at Plombera, a pretty little French watering-place, rather shut in by woods and hills. Our next journey took us over the Ballon d'Alasce, then through Belfort, Montbellard, St. Hippolyte, Maiche and Morteau to the frontier. The road, on leaving Montbellard, is particularly beautiful, and especially after leaving St. Hippolyte, where it begins to ascend rapidly with a succession of corners. It is hilly and winding all the way to Maiche, and then runs along a fine open plateau for some kilometres, gradually ascending as far as Russey and then descending until Martau is reached, when a sharp turn to the left brings one within a few miles of Le Lac au Villers and the French Customs. After climbing to the summit of the Col des Roches, a fine rugged piece of scenery, the road enters a rock tunnel, at The Cathedral at Rheims. the end of which the Swiss customs house comes into sight. From Chaule Fonds we could only crawl for the rest of the way into Neuchatel, for the road is very steep over the Col des Loges, and then comes a long winding, and in parts rapid, descent to Bondevillers and Valengin, with numerous sharp corners and tunnels cut in the rock. From Neuchatel to Zurich is an easy day's run; but in Switzerland one must always remember to allow about double the time taken to cover the same distance in any other country. The speed limits are absurdly low, the images, and the country is thickly populated, there are seldom more than a few kilometres without houses, traveling becomes a somewhat lengthy proceeding. Very heavy fines are imposed for non-compliance with regulations, and every minute large placards greet the eye with "Halt! Autos Langsam—6 kilos—Busee 200 francs!" As yet cars are not welcomed by the Swiss, and one has to get accustomed to the noise and outstretched, while the angry looks of the inhabitants lead one to imagine one is beating a record instead of crawling at the rate of four miles an hour in the middle of a village. GERMAN TAX LAW OPPOSED Proposed Action Against Nickel Shows and Saloons Raises Storm of Protest. Berlin—A storm of protest has been aroused by the government's decision to tax nickel and motion picture shows and increase the tax on brewery malt. More than 350 proprietors of nickelodeons and motion picture shows in Berlin and 2,000 saloon keepers, cafe and hotel proprietors, have petitioned against the two taxes.

OLD LANDMARK TO BE RAZED Noted Toll-House in Boston to Be Torn Down—WILL Be Replaced With a Theater. Boston.—A structure of much historic interest, which will soon be torn down to make way for a theater, is the old toll-house at the northeast corner of Oxford street and Ridge avenue. The building, which is of frame and one and a half stories in height, was the first toll-house on the famous old Ridge Road which was the first improved road leading from this city to Norristown. It was built in 1811 by the Ridge Road Turnpike Company and is the last of the old toll-houses remaining within the city limits. The building consists of two parts, the original structure and an addition built about 1860, which adjoins it on Famous Old Toll House Which Soon Will Be Razed. the corner. The old building was used as the toll house for over 50 years until a change in the highways in the vicinity necessitated the construction and the erection of a new house further up the road, at issuing avenue. The old house has been the property of one family ever since it was built. It was built by John S. Lawrence, the first toll-keeper, whose grandson, John H. Lawrence, recently sold it to the theatrical concern. Mr. Lawrence was born in the building and remembers his mother collecting tolls at the doorway. For many years Mr. Lawrence used it as an office for his coal yard. It was the east of the old toll gate that Porter's highwayman, robbed the United States coach in the early part of the last decade, which he was hanged at Bush Hill, near Seventeenth street and Fairmount avenue. Another important building at the time which was closely associated with the toll-house was the Moss Cottage Hotel, which was built before the Revolution and stood a short distance west. It was the custom in the days of the toll-house not to collect tolls from hearses and undertaker's wagons, nor carriages on the way to a church or funeralers on the way to a cemetery, however, were compelled to carry. Carriages containing persons to church services also were from the toll. The rate was $1½ cents a mile for each horse and 1 cent for each head of cattle and swine.

New York.—Justice Steinert in special sessions sentenced Albert F. Morgan to thirty days in the Tombs to "brace him up." Morgan had pleaded guilty to the theft of a violin worth $15 from his landlady, Mrs. Marle Hardt, of 391 East 40th street. "I had a position in Washington," he said, "until three months ago. Then I got in with a gay crowd and spent more money than I should and finally came to New York. For two days I had had nothing to eat, except some roll I stole from a doorstep, and finally I stole the violin. I was desperate and out." After a brief encounter with Justice Meinnerney and Salmon, Justice Steinert announced the sentence. "You are on the verge of a breakdown," he said, "and it is for your own best interest that I send you to the city prison for thirty days." FIGHTS CATAMOUNT AN HOUR Beast Attack a Pennsylvania Hunter, Killing Dog Before It Eats Pottsville, Pa.—Ellsworth Minning returning to his home at Tremont about nightfall after a hunting trip accompanied only by his dog, was attacked by one of the largest catamounts ever seen in this section. He felt the animal leap from the limb of a tree, as if by intution, and stepped aside, just in the nick of time. The animal immediately engaged in a fight with the dog, which was killed. In the meantime Minning repeatedly emptied a shotgun into the catamount's body and after an hour's struggle the animal was slain. It weighed exactly 24 pounds after it had been drawn. Sues for Dog's Board.

CANTON MODEL CITY Metropolis, Where Vice Was Predominant, Is Now Transformed. Overthrow of the Manchus Is Responsible for Change—Opium Smoking and Open Gambling Is Now Unknown. Pekin, China—A common proverb in China was, "If you wish to be wicked, go to Canton." One who knows the old Canton, with its treasures of iniquity, would be greatly surprised today at the tremendous change. No longer do the four story palaces of vice near the foreign settlement bring their seductive influence to bear on the youth of the city—all are dark and the streets are deserted. The lower bund fitted up in the latest style, a thousand-foot front of "red light," is the military headquarters. No longer do you find on three and four corners of the principal street crossings the blatant signs, "Gambling Here." There is not an open gambling den nor a lottery in this city of over a million and a half of people. Opium smoking, that curse worse than drink in western lands, is gone, never to return, it is asserted. Not only have these three open sores of the western world healed, but age-long abuses due to ancient religion and custom, have been cut away to allow the new growth of truth to appear. Slavery has been abolished by law, and assistance is given to those who are found to find means of being educated. Four hundred girls are being educated, all at the city's expense. The blind singing girls are now being cared for and given an education in industrial work. And, finally, the nunneries have been opened, the girls in them are allowed the choice of leaving or remaining, and the small girls purchased to be brought up as nuns are liberated and are being taught in government schools. Twelve of the 13 Confusian temples in the city have been turned over to the control of the educational department to be used as schools. These great reforms are but the result of the natural moral force of the Chinese, combined with the enlightenment of the west. Once freed from the long crushing thraldom of the Former Ruler's State Barge. Manchus, the Chinese have leaped to the front rank of moral reform. It is true that opium and gambling in Canton were prohibited before the revolution came, the latter only a few months before, but they were the results of agitation through those attempts to get at the root of the matter under the inarch of the Manchu government, and who were successful. The Manchu thought to throw them off the trail by permitting lesser reforms. It is noteworthy that within three months after the new Cantonese government was formed and the present corps of officials was well establish, city, once the worst of thearts of China, has become a model city. PREFERS LOVE TO THRONE Grand Duke Michael of Russia Loyal to Morgananic Wife. St. Petersburg—That love is better than a throne seems to be the opinion of the Grand Duke Michael Alexandrovitch, brother of the czar, who has definitely renounced all his rights to the throne, pending to annul his marigaric marriage at the issue of which a woman was recently born. The grand duke was married secretly nearly three years ago to Mme. Mamontoff. When very young this beautiful woman of many accomplishments married Sergius Mamontoff, a Moscow millionaire. The marriage was an unhappy one, and when the grand duke visited Moscow he met Mme. Mamontoff and fell in love with her. She reciprocated his affection and at her request Mamontoff divorced her. Her family urged her to marry again. "I will find you a husband," said the grand duke to her, and he actually married her to a young officer of cuirassiers, who was her husband in name only and who afterward divorced her. Mme. Mamontoff and the grand duke went to Moscow and there after some difficulty found a priest willing to marry them. The czar, who was intensely angry when he heard of his brother's infatuation, practically exiled. The grand duke told the czar that he cared nothing for imperial rank, and would gladly renounce all his rights rather than be separated from the woman he loved. Roosters Cure Lonesomeness.

The Minneapolis Tribune recently gave evidence of its inclination to deal fairly with the Afro-American by referring editorially to a poem from the pen of James W. Johnson under the caption of "A Notable Poem." The poem was written in commemoration of the fifteenth anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's emancipation proclamation, and "its stanzas have a rhyme and swing and resonance which will not permit it to be forgotten." Says the Tribune: The view is one of sublime encouragement, notwithstanding the many prejudices and wrongs with which the colored race still has to contend. But the uplifting, inspiring note of the poem is that in which the author counsels his brethren never to harbor the thought that they are here on sufferance, or that they are outcasts and aliens. This land is ours by right of birth. This land is ours by right of tail. We helped to turn its virgin earth. Our sweat is in its fruity soil. This is not a claim to any exclusive possession, but simply to a fair part and lot in the country's citizenship. This is finely expressed in the following stanza: No! Stand erect and without fear, And for our foes let this suffice—We've bought a rightful sonship here, and have more than paid the richest. A poem like this might well date a new emancipation from the race—an emancipation from any timid doubts of ultimate justice, or servile fears to assert their right of manhood. Such a literary inspiration may do as much for the spiritual elevation of the colored people as Lincoln's proclamation did for their political elevation. The fools are not all dead yet, but one of them died on the 13th inst. near Tucson, Ariz. It was an unlucky day for him. Alejandro Ramirez, a miner, was amusing himself by trying to step on the fingers of a fellow miner who was preceding him going down on a ladder in the shaft of the Twin mine. Ramirez lost his footing and fell 300 feet to his death. Some folks trifle with death once too often. THIS SENATOR AVERSE TQ ARBITRATION "Every nation in the world, certainly every maritime nation, would be as much interested as Great Britain herself to uphold the British contention. Can any one doubt what the result of arbitration would be under such concessions? An arbitration court made up of representatives from any civilized country would be prejudiced against the United States, and that does not fit in well with the American sense of fairness in dealing with a question that is in controversy. MAY RECALL HAAKON, KING OF NORWAY MAY RECALL HAAKON, KING OF NORWAY have hoarded their allowance for the six years they have reigned in order to spend it on Appleton house, Sandringham, which was a wedding gift from the queen's father, the late King Edward of England. The royal couple of Norway spend much of their time there and this is disapproved by their subjects, who have frequently complained that the pair buy most of their Christmas things in London markets. One can gain an idea of Hakon's expenditures on himself from the cost of his clothing, which does not exceed $1,250 a year. Queen Maud would shed no tears over the voluntary loss of the throne. She was the second daughter of Edward, and the English climate suits her; that of Norway does not, for her health is impaired during the periods she remains in Norway. Another sidelight on her desires is exposed by her refusal to learn the Norse language. DEWEY RECOMMENDS HORSEBACK RIDING DEWEY RECOMMENDS HORSEBACK RIDING M. Adleson, the Rev. James Macklin of St. Peter's Episcopal church; Capt. Spencer S. Woods, Commanders Victor Blue, W. D. McDougall and H. J. Ziegmeier. Admiral Dewey was born in Montpellier, Vt., in 1837. "I should say," he declared today, "that any man who begins to ride horseback early and continues with it throughout his early years will find in the end that he has invested in a form of physical exercise that will be a great asset to him in his later years. Driving is splendid, too. Getting lots of it is the principal thing. I learned to ride early in my own state of Vermont. I don't know how early, but I have kept on with that exercise and it has been a great benefit to me. "I remember one day riding with George Bancroft, the historian. He was 80 years old at the time. I asked him to what he ascribed his perfect physical condition at that time and he pointed to his horse for answer."

Colonel Goethals intends, when the canal is a-going, to retire from the government service and settle in New York as a consulting engineer, with the idea of making some money for his family.

All nations in a country that might be suggested would States, and that does not fit in well with dealing with a question that is in controversy "The case would be precluded." According to common gossip in the courts of Europe, King Haakon of Norway is rapidly losing favor. And judged by the same source of information, it seems apparent he will soon be discouraged by the Storthing into giving up his throne. Just after Haakon left Norway early in December, with Queen Maud and Prince Olaf, for London, to do their Christmas shopping, the Republican party introduced a bill into the Storthing abolishing all decorations. The bill is certain to be passed, and as the power to confer decorations is the power to college enjoyed by the king without secreting the sanction of his ministers, the bill of the intended legislative attack is obvious. Almost immediately prior to the introduction of the bill Haakon conferred the grand cross of St. Olaf on retiring Minister Thorne. Another factor emanates from the charge made that the king and queen have hoarded their allowance for the she to spend it on Appleton house, Sandringh the queen's father, the late King Edward Norway spend much of their time there projects, who have frequently complained Christmas things in London markets.

"We should not lose sight of the fact that even if we were willing to submit this domestic question to an animal court it would be impossible to anywhere an impartial tribunal to it. "Nominally, the case as it stands is one between the United States and Great Britain; as a matter of fact, the controversy raised by Great Britain would be one between the shipping interests of the United States and the shipping of the entire world. mainly every maritime nation, would be persistent to uphold the British contention. arbitration would be under such con- p of representatives from any civilized would be prejudiced against the United with the American sense of fairness in prosery. se six years they have reigned in order ingham, which was a wedding gift from ward of England.

S HORSEBACK RIDING Admiral Dewey celebrated his 75th birthday on December 26, in a quiet way, working a little in the forenoon, riding out for an airing later, and dining with a few friends in the even- ning. "I feel like an ensign," said Mr. Dewey to friends. He looked as healthy and happy as a man just out of college. "I never felt any better in my life than I feel today," added the admiral. "Two things, horseback riding and keeping away from banquets, have helped me. To be of a good old family of people who live to ripe old ages helps one to grow old gracefully and keep in vigorous health." Admiral Dewey went to his office to work during the day, but his callers were so numerous that he had to Rear Admiral, Barker, Visitors were Rear Admiral, Barker, Visitors, Toning, Fletcher, Vreeland, Con Surgeon, General, Stokes, Gen John of St. Peter's Episcopal church; Capt.

WASHINGTON GOSSIP BACHLORS CLUB CLOSED BENEDICTS CLUB WASHINGTON—The collapse of the "Bachelor" Washington's famous cotillion club, which for the last twenty years has established the standing of the successive crop of smart society, has been followed by the establishment of the "Benedicts" and at last Washington winter time smart set has undergone the long threatened pruning. The Bachelors, according to some reports, "fell of its own weight." In other words, too many who could not muster all the requirements were admitted to membership and one by one the "swagger" element withdrew. The detection for several seasons ago when Major Charles McCawley, U. S. M. C. s., Mr. Beauhmel of Washington, gave up his membership. George Howard, son of Lady Howard of England and knit to the ultrapercursive Riggs connection, resigned about the same time. Glist Hibler, one of the most eligible bachelors in the country, came a close third, but these bumps were made up by the younger army and navy set. Last year things got worse and even the lances of criticism assailed the bachelors, whose dances careful mothers considered a bit too blase for the debates whose coming-out heretofore had not been considered properly accomplished unless "they appeared" at least at the Bachelors' three yearly --- Y. M. C. A. Puts Ban on All Suggestive Songs THIS notice was posted the other day at the Y. M. C. A. rooms and dormitory here: "Members of the Y. M. C. A. and visitors to the Association building will please refrain from playing or singing music of the following kind in or about the buildings: 'Hitchy Koo,' 'Row, Row, Row,' 'Everybody's Doing It,' 'When I Get You Alone Tonight.'" "Such songs are suggestive and not at all in keeping with the ideals of the association." The notice appeared on the bulletin boards throughout the Y. M. C. A. dormitory as well as on the announcement boards in the Association's gymnasium, pool room, bowling alleys, turkish baths, reading rooms and bar shops. "The rulling was made," said Secretary Cooper, "not because any one has made himself objectable by performing these questionable songs, but merely to insure that the policy and moral conditions of the young man shall be carried out in this detail as in others. For many years I have noticed a steady lowering in the moral tone of the average popular song. Former Plans to Further Embellish the Capitol Grounds PLANS are made, and their execution will be proceeded with as soon as finances warrant, for further embellishing the capitol grounds by the planting of additional shrubbery. It should be emphasized that no attack is contemplated on the design of the grounds which represents the admirable work of the landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted. The layout of the capitol grounds is satisfactory to everybody, and the design is venerated by all the men having in charge the care and preservation of the grounds. When the capitol grounds, as we know them, were young, a great deal of the plantation was for quick results, and the young trees were shrubbery has developed, so that as a Baby McLean's Birthday Party Breaks All Records BABY Vincent Walsh McLean's $10.00 birthday party, given the other day at the Walsh home in Washington, broke all records for gorgeous and ingenious entertainments. Gifts came in hundred lots, and in hundred lots they continued to come for several days. The greater number are yet to be opened for the inspection of the youthful recipient and a pair of secretaries will be required to get the notes of thanks off in proper time. The one best gift of the whole collection, however, is the snow burro which came as a gift from Mrs. McLean. He was a long pedigree and a shaggy coat and a perfect disposition. He arrived several days ago, December 18, being the natal day of BAY Vincent, whose birthday fete was brought forward a few days to bring it in closer touch with the Christmas season. A giant white bull moose, white as snow and terrifyingly natural, shares the place of honor with the burro in the affections of the young heir. This also was a gift from Mrs. McLean and its appearance for the first time creat- ed a great/sensation. Of Affectation. There is nothing in poetry, or, in- deed, in society so unpleasant as affection—Landor. "Germans." The turkey trot was one of the first wedges, the introduction of bridge whist tables where some pretty high play was possible was another disintegrative feature, while the habit some of the young matrons had of going out to the smoking rooms and putting on their gloves was yet another phase of the bachelors' later dances which more careful mothers refused to view with favor. Anyway this season the Bachelors fell through, the last president, Lawrence Townsend, former American minister to Belgium, resigning and the general committee going out with him with its new membership, doubling it. The Bachelors, under Major McCawley's regime, first attained the distinction of having the mistress of the White House stand as hostess at one of the first dances each year. Mrs. Roosevelt and Mrs. Taft both "received" for the Bachelors at least once each season. For "resident hostess" one of the smartest of the resident set stood as sponsor while always the second or third dance had hosted the wife of one of the ambassadors. Lady Curzon as Miss Mary Leter, danced her first ball at the Bachelors, as did Mrs. Longworth and, later, her sister, Miss Ethel Roosevelt; later still, Mrs Helen Taft. Flanking these distinctions were hundreds of belles and their daughters. The Benedicts gave just one ball, Dec. 31. It was danced in the smallest ballroom in Washington. Consequently, there was the grandest string pulling contest Washington has withdrawn from. The benedicts list came out, everybody knew just exactly who was who in the smartest of the capital's smart set. NOTICE DO NOT SING OR PLAY MITCHTOWN ROWING, NOW NINTHROSS DOING IT WHEN YOU DO YOUR YOUNG TOWNTEN I NEVER DID GARE FOR THAT KIND OF MUSIC ly sheet music was derived from the operas of Gilbert and Sullivan; nowadays they seem to come mostly from the burlesque stage. Twenty-five years ago many popular songs possessed poignard melody; today many of them are unspeakable. "It is not the actual, literal meaning of the words sung that is objectionable, but it is the connotation, the idea obviously implied, or that one is led to anticipate, which constitutes the peculiarly vicious effect of these songs. Popular music today is at its peak, but if it cannot show brains, it at least shows decyce, and I would welcome any movement designed to this end." The Washington Y. M. C. A. has a membership of 3,000. permanent feature it cannot be indorsed by progressive landscape architects, but even this will not be trifled with. Plant-mortality in the capital grounds was high last winter. A large amount of shrubbery was killed by the long and excessive cold. A summer storm have been slain by summer storms and several were destroyed or irreparably injured last summer. Whenever the replacement of a tree is determined on a memorial tree will be set out, with the final result that memorial groves will surround the capitol. Last spring a beginning in this line of work was made, and in order to preserve the side memorial Bacon planted a white tree President Sherman a purple beech, Senator Lodge a red oak, Senator Cullom an oak, and Senator Wetmore an English beech. At the east front on the house side Speaker Clark planted a sugar maple, Representative Cannon an oak and Representative Browning of New Jersey an oak. There are tree vacancies in the west grounds, these will be filled by the planting of remembrance trees next spring. The birthday cake, which had the place of honor on the table specially constructed for the comfort of the tiny guests, was a real wonder cake, as its tier after tier of frosted "terrace," the innacle crowned with a trio of birthday candies. Boxes of cake, with the monogram of the celebrant, together with quantities of wonderful toys and marvelous mechanical trophies, were given to each of the guests as they set off home at the close of the afternoon. For entertainment there was a circus with a real clown. Punch and Judy were a waudeville entertainment completed the show.

THIS MEANS YOU. If there is a one cent postage stamp on your paper, that means that you have not paid your subscription for more than a year, and the Government compels us to pay one cent each to send the papers to delinquent subscribers.

It certainly does not reflect any credit on you to have us pay one cent on each paper we send to you and for which you have not paid. Is this fair and square? Buffalo friends of James A.

Sir: Although the newspapers from time to time have published information with reference to the parcel post system, in operation since January 1, 1913, it is evident that many people do not fully understand the points with reference thereto, and therefore I respectfully request that you publish for the information of your readers, that: 1. Distinctive parcel post stamps must be used on all fourth-class matter, that such matter bearing ordinary stamps will be treated as "held for postage," for postage. 2. That parcels will be mailable only at the post office, the branch post offices, or the numbered stations designee by the postmaster or presented to rural or other carriers duly authorized to receive such matter; that 3. All parcels must bear the return card of the sender, otherwise they will not be accepted for mailing. 4. It will also be understood that parcel post stamps are not valid for payment of postage on matter of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd class, nor can any of said classes be accepted at the parcel post rate of postage. 5. Registration of parcels has been discontinued, but the parcels are insured against loss in an amount equivalent to its actual value, up to $50. Respectfully, O. H. 'Neegaard, Supt. of Majls.

THE LADY BUCCANEERS The Attraction at the Grand Next Week. "The Lady Buccaneers," one of the top-notch burlesque organizations, will be the attraction at the Grand for one week, starting with the usual matinee Sunday, Jan. 19. Messrs. Drew and Campbell, owners of "The Lady Buccaneers," have engaged as the commander of the comedy brigade John C. Hanson, German comedian. Mr. Hanson and his associates will be presented in the two act face, "That Boy Fritz." The various adventures of Fritz are staged in the front yard of a summer hotel and in a department store, where Fritz gets a job as saleslady. Fritz is not always in evidence, for there are numerous appearances of the chorus of twenty young women, who are good to look at, together with the dashing impy dozen, who prance their way into the department store. Assisting Mr. Hanson in the principal roles are Dick Maddox, William Harriss, Marceline Montague, Annie Goldie, Gertrude Ralston and Clara Gibson. The oloi feature will be an artistic novelty, the Lorado series of classical tableaux vivants, said to be the finest living pictures ever presented in burlesque. Annie Goldie, in Hebrew impersonations and Yiddish parodies. Steppe and Martin offer a witty farce, described as a ludicrous jumble of funny pranks, and guaranteed to furnish fifteen minutes of solid laughter.

WHERE TO DRAW THE LINE Gallant Colonel Points Out Danger of Too Much Politeness on Occasions. "A man should always try to be poite to women, except, of course, on street cars," said Col. Wilbert Wimke the other day after he had stepped on a policeman's foot in his effort to return a feminine handkerchief. But there is one thing politeness should never lead you to do. Never try to pick up a woman's purse for her. If you see a woman drop her gloves or a book or a parcel, jump for it with all the eagerness of a bull pup, and return it to her in your best manner. You will be rewarded with a smile. But do not jump for her pocketbook. No, sir, do not. I once made that mistake, but never again. The owner did not understand. With the cry of a wounded lioness saving her cubs she pounced upon her property, nearly driving a hatpin through the padded bosom of my frock coat. 'No, you don't!' she hissed. You can't snatch no hard working woman's purse like that.' "When you see a woman drop her money, give a yell and spring back from her about four feet and stand with your hands up. Then she can not possibly misunderstand your intentions." GIVING THEM A FAIR START Warden of Colorado Penitentiary Says Discharged Prisoners Should Have Some Funds. Tom Tynan, warden of the Colorado penitentiary, believes the released convict should be given money upon his discharge. George Creel, in an article in Success Magazine, quotes him as follows: "And when the prisoner has been reformed—strengthened in body and mind, taught means of livelihood and the habits of industry—what then? Must he go out with nothing in his pockets but his hands? I don't think so. No fair man can think so. "The released convict must have some money; enough at least to tide him over the first few months—to keep him from feeling like a vagrant—to prevent his despair and relapse. I am in favor of a law that will pay the men a certain salary toward the end of the sentence—say $1 a day for the last sixty days. It is my endeavor to have every prisoner go back into the world from the ranch or road—clear eyed, brown faced—and heaven knows these fellows carn the money" In all the world, according to the records, no woman was convicted of murder in 1912, although a large number of persons came to their deaths in the 1920s. In 1924, a group composed of men, they just won't find them guilty of a capital offense. 490 ST. PETER STREET Mrs. Barrett, Eormerty Mrs. W. Nagel, Lady Assistant TRI-STATE 717 N. W. CNDAR 737 ST.

RAW MATERIAL TOO PLENTY That Was Why Honey Man Couldn't Sell Much in Town Full of Flowers. The man "who kept a bee" was amply provided with honey. His right hand held a can of the liquid variety, his left held honey in the comb. He had come in from further out on Long Island and was trying to dispose of his product in one of the large towns that still retain its indivuality despite the fact that it was supposed to have been "ab sorbed" into Greater New York. Up and down the street he went, meeting with small success. All around green lawns and thrifty flower beds testified to the 'local pride of the householders. One street in particular lar was a veritable feast of roses, every porch supporting hundreds of the rambler variety, and on this street the rowdy bees created a regular uproar. The honey man evidently did some reading on national issues when he was at home, to judge by his reply to the sympathetic matron who inquired from her flower-laden porch as to how his business did. His lean, brown face, out of which the sun had troned all lines of bitterness, relaxed in a cheerful grin: "Not very well, madam," he returned, then with a quizzical glance at the gorgeous array of roses, he continued, "you people in Mapleleaf have too much raw material to appreciate the finished product." Whereupon the matron, though personally despairing honey, bought a liberal supply. EDUCATION BAD FOR GENIUS It Also Seems to Reduce Mental Alertness of the People. Says English Writer. Widespread education is certainly unfavorable to the development of genius or remarkable talent. Greatness as it were, is put in commission. As everyone has a little tincture of talent, no one is allowed to possess a monopoly. If the loss to the world were only the obliteration of genius we might let it pass. Perhaps mankind may learn to do without genius. Perhaps the mariner by some new trained instinct for locality may be able to dispense with compass and lighthouses. But education seems to be robbing the masses of the power to appreciate the products of education. The comment is on everyone's tongue that the world of today has but a languid interest in things of the mind. There is probably three times as much effort and bustle and fuss about education now, proportionately, as there was 60 years ago. Yet there was proportionately ten times as much mental alertness then. Choosing Wise by Her Voice. A man has won for his wife a telephone girl whose voice pleased him. If every unmarried man only realized it there is a deal more good common sense in marrying a pretty voice than in marrying a pretty face. If the pretty face can have all the accompanying characteristics necessary to feminine perfection the man who wins this paragon is quite as lucky as the girl who wins goodness and wealth combined in a husband. No girl ever has denied that it might be an easy matter to fall in love with this special combination, but the men go right on seeking beauty as the first requisite. But a pleasing voice! Soothing under all circumstances. One can turn one's back on a face not quite up to the ideal, but who ever gets away from a voice? Leastways every husband claims he cannot get away from "the" voice, so why not look for one with the note of music in its tones? COMPLEXIONS IN OLD ROM Strenuous Efforts Made by Women of Ancient Egypt to Appear Roguel Our modern dame is decidedly half-hearted in her dame after beauty when compared with the fair fashionables of ancient Rome. It was the fashion at that time for a lady of high degree to repair to her perfumed bath at about 10:30 in the morning and remain in it for something like an hour. At the end of that time she was rubbed down, not with soft towels, but with pumice stone, and when this salutary Discipline was completed she went right away into the complexion department and clapped on a catapultain invented by the Empress Poppe herself, and never removed except upon the arrival of a distinguished stranger, unless, of course, the fair dame was thinking of saluting forth in her charlot to drink in the admiration of the outside masculine world. When the toilet proper began—in preparation for an indoor or outdoor "appearance"—a slave would remove the medicine and bathe the lady's face in asses milk. This, of course, says the Montreal Star, was all very well for the start—one couldn't greatly object to the start—one couldn't greatly object to would one say to the following delicate compounds which, according to Pliny, were rubbed on one after the other in order to impart exquisite delicacy and freshness to the skin? First, there were ashes of snails or of large ants, burned and braised in salt, then an application of honey in which bees had been suffocated. After that came a savory mess of pullets fat mixed with onions and as a final ungentle a gentle lubrication with swans' grease, supposed to be the dernier cri for the removal of wrinkles.
