VOL. 24 BOOKER WASHINGTON. HE RETRACTS HIS PREVIOUS SPEECHES. CLEVELAND, O., HOUSES HIM. By Nahum D. Brascher. Cleveland, O. January 14, 1905. The people of Cleveland, Ohio, were among the first to have the privilege of honoring Dr. Booker T. Washington in the year of 1905. He came to the city, noon Thursday, January 12; at five o'clock he was entertained at luncheon at the Euclid Hotel by the Cleveland Sociological Society, at 8 P. M. he addressed an audience of 12,000 at the Jewish Temple. On Friday he addressed the student body of Central high school, took luncheon with Mr. Charles Chestnut, the author; 6 o'clock dinner with Mr. Virgil P. Cline, Mr. Rockfeller's attorney, and in the evening was banqueted at Woodliff hall by the Minerva Reading Circle and Friday Study Club. These are two of Ohio's most prominent literary clubs among our women. The banquet was attended by over two hundred of the most prominent colored people in northern Ohio. The supper was served in four courses and was in charge of a leading negro caterer. Woodliff hall is an institution owned by negroes. Mrs. Carrie W. Clifford, president of Ohio Womens' clubs, wife of Hon. W. H. Clifford, presided as toastmistress and introduced the following toasts and speakers, "Welcome from Club Women," Mrs. Belle C. Bolden; "The Press," by Nahum D. Brascher, editor of the Cleveland Journal; E. W. Crosby; of Buffalo; "The Literary World," Chas. W. Chestnut; the author; "The Musical World," Miss Eleanor Alexander; BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. "The Public Schools," Miss Emma A. Tolbert; the latter two are teachers in the public schools. "The College," by Prof. Edward C. Williams, librarian of Hatch library, Western Reserve university; "The Profession of Medicine," Dr. Edwardina M. Grant; "The Profession of Law," James French, of Saudusky; "The Business World," George A. Meyers; "The Clergy," Rev. J. S. Jackson, pastor Mt. Zion Congregational Church. To these toasts Mr. Washington replied in part as follows: One of the most important sources of protection that any race of people can have, is their usefulness to the community in which they dwell. Service is the secret of sovereignty. The man, black or white, who has learned to do a common thing in an uncommon manner, to do something better than his fellows, will in time solve all the problems that confront him at least. We need not only the industrial school but the college and professional school as well, for, a people so largely segregated as we are, from the main body of our people who must have their own professional leader and who shall be able to measure with others in all forms of intellectual life. It is well to remember, however, that our teachers, ministers, lawyers and doctors will prosper in proportion as they have about them an intelligent and skillful producing class. I believe thoroughly in the work which the college, the university and the industrial school can do at the present time for the advancement of my race at the South. In a large measure the negro has in his hands, at the present time, a large proportion of the trades and skill and common labo of the South. We must see to it that while the head is being educated that the hand is also being trained so we can hold on to the fundamental occupations that are Tuskegee institute began to lay its foundation in economic or industrial directions, that we are able to give to thirty-two negro college graduates. A larger number than is employed by any other one institution in the world. In regard to the ballot I repeat here what I have often said in the South. WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY JANUARY 21 as to my position, I do not approve of the negro's giving up anything that is fundamental and that is guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States, represented in agriculture, mechanics, and the domestic sciences. No race can advance very far in education, morals, religion or politics, that does not have an economic or industrial foundation. It is because of this fact for years the It is not best for him to relinquish any rights; nor would his doing so be best for the southern white men. Every law placed in the Constitution of the United States was placed there to encourage and stimulate the highest citizenship. If the negro is not stimulated and encouraged by just, national and state laws, to become the highest type of citizen, the result will be worse for the southern white man than for the negro. Unless these negroes are encouraged by just election alws to become tax payers and intelligent producers, the white people will have an eternal millstone about their necks. Any subterfuge, any makeshift in the form of a law that gives the ignorant white man a right to express his wants at the ballot box and withholds the same right from the ignorant negro, is an injustice to both races. In most cases such laws give the negro the incentive to become a voter by getting property and intelligence, but says to the white man in so many words, remain in ignorance and poverty, and a way will be found for you to exercise the franchise. No question is ever settled until settled right, until settled in accordance with the absolute immutable laws of justice. This sentiment I stand by to this day. I have always done so, and always expect to do so. No race of people, however, whether black or white should depend solely upon political activity or the chance of office holding for success. There must always be an intelligent and economical foundation, otherwise political activity is a mockery. No one will dare say that in Haiti and Santo Domingo the negro is without all his political rights; yet in spite of this, there is constant disregard and turnover, because the people have neglected to develop their industrial and commercial life. There are too many depending upon the mere possession of the ballot to sustain them. * * * Regarding lynching, I repeat also what I have said many times in the South; that the taking of human life without due process of law, whether in Georgia or Ohio, is a blot upon civilization. Further, that we should at all times stand ready as a race to join hands with all people to see that crime is not committed by our people, and see that legal punishment follows such crime. No happening within the last ten years has given me more encouragement than the frank, brave manner in which lynchings have been condemned, also that reservation that the daily press has maintained heretofore has been broken, the white pulpit, grand juries, governors, and in several cases confederate camps have spoken out condemning this barbaric habit of burning human beings at the stake. The present commendable sentiment regarding the disgraceful habit of lynching never could have been brought about except through the co-operation between the better classes of white, and the same class of colored people. It is through such sympathetic co-operation between the races that our difficulties are finally to disappear. While there are many difficulties in the South that are to be regretted, at the same time there are opportunities which should not be overlooked. In the business world you will find the negro making advancement. Making progress as bankers, as merchants, as real estate dealers, as well as operating thousands of valuable and successful farms. Few people outside the South understand that the negro has almost the same opportunity here as the white man for business or commercial development. I have constantly observed our opportunities for twenty years, and I find that the negro can borrow money at the banks with equal security just as quickly as the white man in the community, and if he is engaged in a merchandising business, he can secure goods on just as easy terms as the white merchant in his community. Further, I find that where a negro is a manufacturer or trader to the extent that he is doing business in the direction of furnishing something that the white man wants, the negro business man is patronized in the South, not only by the members of his own race, but by a large element of the white race. I repeat, that this is a condition that the outside world does not appreciate. I am quite sure that I do not exaggerate when I say that there are 15 banks owned and operate by black people in our southern states. There are at least so Debit and Credit By W. E. Burghardt DuBois. 1. To persistent disfranchisement of Negro voters in the South. 2.

(c) increase of professional men, teachers, merchants, artisans, miners, salesmen and draymen. 8. By an aroused race consciousness, in the face of which it is no longer possible for any Negro to dare tell an American audience that Negroes ought not to vote until they are perfect, ought not to complain of "Jim Crow" cars until they own railroads, or that they ought not to go to college until they are armed. REPRINTED FROM V OICE OF THE NEGRO reasonably good drug stores, and almost every city and community has a number of respectable negro merchants. be welcomed just in pre can make ourselves valu munity in which we li any people to the ne In the field of skilled labor, there is an opportunity before us which we should not fail to take full advantage of, and here again, I often find that the people outside of the South are in great ignorance as to the chances that are presented to the negro. Here there is little restriction on account of the trades unions, and the average native southern white man prefers, all things being equal, to have the negro work for him rather than a white man, because for centuries he has been accustomed to dealing with the negro in that capacity. In a very large degree, our race at the present time, is reasonably represented in the field of skilled labor, but we will not hold the place which we now occupy unless we teach our children to perform better service than is now being rendered. Up until a few years ago, the black man had little competition to contend with in the field of skilled labor. At the present time every year is bringing hurgreds and thousands of skilled laborers from all parts of the world into the South, and unless by thorough education we prepare ourselves for this competition, we will find that the race will go to the wall because of a lack of industrial efficiency. Our youths should not only be educated, but should be educated to render the service which the present generation and the community most need. If the negro would hold his place as a farmer, dairyman, fruit grower, carpenter, brickman, blacksmith, wheelwright, a large proportion of our people would receive the very best kind of industrial training for the specific task he is to perform. In many parts of the country where the negro was formerly the barber or the white washer, his place has been taken by the intelligent skilled white man from Europe who has taken the trade of barbering and made it almost a profession, or has taken the trade of white washing and turned it into house decorating. I am speaking plainly and directly on this subject because our presence in the South will be welcomed just in proportion as we can make ourselves valuable to the community in which we live. Whenever any people get to the point where they produce less, than they consume, the community wants to rid itself of them. Slavery presents a problem of destruction; freedom presents a problem of construction. The latter requires patience, time, courage and toil, but in the end we shall reach our goal. Mr. Chestmutt seemed to voice the sentiments of all those present when he arose at the conclusion of Mr. Washington's address and remarked that: "This night is the beginning of a new era for the negroes. This is the greatest speech I have ever heard Mr. Washington make." MANASSAS INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL Mr. Villard Accepts. Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard, of New York, has accepted the presidency of the Manassas Industrial School for Colored Youth, and will be formally elected as such on May 30 next. Mr. Villard succeeds Col. Carroll D. Wright, formerly commissioner of labor, who severed his connection with the institution because of his removal from this section of the country to take the presidency of Clark University. Mr. Villard is a son of the late Henry Villard, of New York, and a grandson of William Lloyd Garrison. He is a graduate of Harvard University and is at present editor of the New York Evening Post. Mr. Villard has long desired to take up active work in behalf of the negroes, and has been offered the presidency of several industrial and like institutions in the South, but heretofore has declined all offers. When the last annual meeting of the board of directors of the Manassas school was held in May, Col. Carroll D.Wright, who had filled the office of president for several years, announced his intention to leave Washington and enter actively upon the duties to which he had been called at Clark University. At the earnest solicitation of his fellow- directors he consented to serve until his successor or should be chosen, however, and an immediate canvass was made of those interested in the work in an effort to secure a fitting successor to Col. Wright. Mr. Villard was interested in the institution and several visits were paid him by members of the board of directors. Superintendent Jennie Dean, who has immediate charge of the school, went to New York a few days ago and after a long conference with Mr. Villard secured his acceptance. The announcement of Mr. Villard's acceptance of the presidency was made here Saturday, and was received with much satisfaction by the members of the board who reside here. It is understood that in addition to Miss Dean Dr. Edward Everett Hale, a member of the board of directors, helped persuade Mr. Villard to take the post. The Manassas school is one of the leading institutions of the kind in the South. It had its beginning ten years ago upon the historic grounds of the old Bull Run battle field. It is on the Southern Railway, thirty-three miles southwest of Washington. The site is elevated and healthful, surrounded by picturesque scenery and free from the seductive influences of city life. THE LASH The whipping post was made the subject of a sermon last Sunday evening by Rev. Dr. Frank M. Bristol, of the Metropolitan M. E. Church, who proceeded to lash it with flights of cynical oratorical eloquence. He first described the work of reformation of prisons and the punishment of criminals that had been brought about in the latter part of the eighteenth century in England and on the continent by John Hoeard, and asked if all this is to be now undone. There are those, said he, who in this advanced Christian age desire to go back to the whipping post. This, he continued, sounds like a voice from the age of despotism and tyranny. Who, he asked, except those animated by intense cruelty could have invented the pillar, the rack, the thumbscrew, the cross, and the whipping post? "Shall we go back to these instruments of cruelty?" All these, said the preacher, were in use at one time by savage and barbarous peoples, and none was perhaps more barbaric and humiliating than the whipping post. Why Not Return to Torture? If we shall go back to the whipping post, asked the speaker, why not to two of the former means of torturing criminals—nay, why not to all? It has been the boast of our District Commissioners, he continued, that this is one of the best governed cities not only in this country, but in the world—is not this approval of the establishment of a whipping post a confession of the weakness, laxity, and inefficiency of our local government? At this point Dr. Bristol digressed to explain to any strangers who might be present that the District of Columbia has an unrepresentative government, ruled by other people, in which the citizens do not even have the privilege of voting for their President. Has our unrepresentative government come to this, inquired Dr. Bristol, that it must confess that our civilization is not civilized? Shall the law of retaliation be inaugurated again as in the Dark Ages, with bestiality for bestiality? We cannot whip a man, he continued, without admitting that we have neglected his education, if not our own, and what we fail to correct in the school we cannot correct at the whipping post. The Bee THE GREAT ADVERTISING MEDIUM TRY IT! Do you want sensible word? Do you want fearless face advert? Do you want simple brand? Read and advertise in THE BEE! NO. 29 However much patience we may need in suppressing crimes, avowed Dr. Bristol, we are not yet ready to send over to Delaware for a whipping post. The whipping post will not diminish crime, but will increase it, he continued, for such degrading and inhuman punishment will turn the man so punished into an angry beast, full of hatred and the spirit of revenge. Then, too, asked the preacher, who would want to do the whipping? "I should like to ask that question of the Commissioners and the members of Congress. It takes a brute to whip a man, who would have to be more of a brute than the man whom he whips." He expressed his belief that a jury could not be procured in the District that would sentence a human being to such punishment and said, "God save the good, noble, and dignified judges if they are called upon to sentence men to the whipping post." Contriary to the Constitution. "The proposal to institute a whipping post," said Dr. Bristol, "is an attack upon the Constitution of the United States, which is about the only thing that is left for those in Washington to fall back upon for protection." In proof of this he quoted the eighth amendment to the Constitution; which says, "Nor shall cruel or unusual punishments be inflicted." "If Congress passes such a law," he asked, "will not the Supreme Court declare it to be unconstitutional?" If such a punishment is meted out to wife-heaters, Dr. Bristol made inquiry, why not to those who beat their children? Why not to mothers who have beaten their children and sometimes dislocated the child's spine? Why not to the husband for getting drunk and forcing his wife to starve? The latter is much more terrible than to be whipped. DEATH OF EDWARD G. NILES Edward G. Niles, a well-known number of the Washington bar, died at his home, Tus Massacuttsia avenue, N. 2, shortly before noon Sunday. He was attacked with a severe case of typhoid fever about three months ago, and that, with a complication of heart trouble, caused his death. He had a relapse last Wednesday and had been critically ill since then. He became unconscious early last Friday afternoon and did not regain consciousness. Funeral services will be held at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon from the residence. Rev. Alexander Bielaski, of Baltimore, Md., an uncle of the deceased, will officiate at the services. The interment will be private at Congressional Cemetery, where Mr. Niles' father and mother are buried. Pall-bearers will be selected from Mr. Niles' personal friends. Edward Grant Niles was a son of Henry C. Niles, appointment clerk of the Treasury Department during President Grant's administrations. He was born in this city January 4, 1869, and attended the public schools of the District, from which he was graduated in 1886. He afterward attended Maryland Agricultural College, which in 1890, conferred upon him the degree of bachelor of science. That year he matriculated in Columbia (now George Washington) University, where he graduated two years later. He read law in the office of the late Gen. Benjamin F. Butler and Judge O. D. Barrett, and was admitted to the bar in 1894. During the early part of his practice he defended a number of criminal cases, some of which were considered important. Later he made a specialty of personal injury damage suits, and was quite successful in that line of cases. For the past two years Mr. Niles had associated with him Attorney John S. Whitt, the firm being known as Niles & Whitt. December 17, 1891, he married Miss Mary Meredith, the daughter of Capt. William M. Meredith, of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. She survives him.

ARE BARRED FROM DANCES Young Army Officers at Fort Wright "Are Restricted in Social ws Pleasures. Spokane, Wash.—No more are young army officers from Fort Wright the bright particular stars in every social event downtown, and there is sorrow at the poat, and sorrow among the maldens who charmed the soldlery. ‘Lieut. Col. Bolton, commanding, has tasued orders forbidding the officers to take part in social affairs downtown o” ~oights, except Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. The order will be effective until March 3l—and that means until the close of the winter season, It is di- rected against the officers who are taking the military student course, and in that category are most of the social favorites. Although It is not general- ly known, the officers are required to do considerable “boning,” and Lieut, Col. Bolton came to the belief that study and dancing were likely to clash So he eradicated the dancing. An order has been issued by Lieut. Col. Bolton that most outdoor exer- cises and battalion and company rifle drills be discontinued. The transferred exercises and ¢rills will be held within doors by squads and companies, with- out arms, until the arrival in Febru- ary of the new Springfield magazine rifles, which supplant the Krag Jor- gensen. Finds Harm in Drinking Water. A paper read before the New York County Medical association by a profes- sor of clinical medicine in the New York Polyclinic medical school on the subject of water drinkizg has aruused consider- able discussion at the munthly meeting of the members. “The abuses of water drinking are commitied by every one,” sald the professor. “in his routine work, Usually no harm is dore even though we fall to achleve the results desired. But the contrary Is true in the not infre- quent cases where we adi to the burdens of an already taxed heart and circula- tion, and where we thoughtlessly aug- ment the embarrassment cf organs we are striving to relieve.

Stoessel must take his regular turn at being killed and wounded. It is net fair for the correspondents to saddle all the personal injuries on Gen, Nogi. If anybody is so dull as to underrate the supreme importance of the ballot to any class of people living under a republican form of government, he has but to observe what is taking place right before his eyes here in these United States in the Southern States and in the District of Columbia. Fourteen years ago the process of nullifying the Constitution of the United States began in Mississippi. The only colored man who was a member of that Mississippi nullification convention, Isaiah T. Montgomery, gave his consent to the disfranchisement of his people. The example of Mississippi has been followed by other Southern States, so that so far as colored men are concerned, democracy and popular institutions no longer exist in any of these States. Now that the colored man has been stripped of the ballot, the invasion of his other rights has begun. By acts of Legislatures, by decisions of courts, by flats of mobs, there is one law for white men and another law for colored men. In a very large part of the South the courts actually do not exist for the black man. To sue for wages due, to seek damages by an action at law for wrongs, to go to the courts for the vindication of rights, or for the recovery of property, is for-the black man as heinous an offense as to commit the most infamous felony, and the punishment for such presumption is whatever the wrath and savagery of the community may see fit to inflict. The idea that black men are not as white men has so pervaded the whole country that in popular thought the black man occupies in every relation of life a status entirely different from the white man. In illustration we quote from an address delivered by William De Witt Hyde, president of Bowdoin College, at the dinner of the New England Society in the city of New York, December 22, 1904, on "The New England Conscience:" "In philanthropy, at the close of the war, the New England conscience said, 'In the name of racial equality I do deliver up the South to social and political confusion.' Today where large masses of both races in all stages of development are thrown together, we acquiesce in social segregation and the postponement of political privilege until intelligence and responsibility shall earn the right to do it." These are pleasant-sounding words and on their face bear the semblance of fairness and justice, but in logical effect and actual practice they say, "In the name of social segregation and the postponement of political privilege, I deliver the black man up to chains and stripes, to race hatred and social superstition." In the name of "social segregation," colored people traveling from one point to another are herded into noisome, pestilential compartments, in many instances no better than cattle cars; in the name of "social segregation" the public school fund is to be divided between the races in proportion to the direct taxes paid by each; in the name of "social segregation" the curriculum of the colored school is to differ from the curriculum of the white school; in the name of "social segregation" a condition of affairs is to be tolerated which will assure to white men opportunities superior black men, and thus keep black men in a condition of subordination to and dependence upon white men; in the name of "social segregation" time-serving and kneebending black men styling, themselves educators are seeking gifts for their particular enterprises. And these things have all followed disfranchisement. Nobody ever thinks of devising educational schemes different from accepted standards for people who have votes: The ballot is the instrument of supreme importance in a republic. THE VIRGINIA LEGISLATURE. By a recent act of the Virginia Legislature, all insurance companies are required to deposit ten thousand dollars each with the State Treasurer, in lawful money of the United States, which means that all small insurance companies doing business in the State that cannot raise that amount must go under. There are several colored companies in the State that have affected white companies, and by this act of the Legislature it was presumed that many of them would go under. It may affect many, but so far as the Mutual Aid is concerned, of which Attorney J. E. Byrd is president, it has not affected, as will be evidenced by the letter of Mr. Byrd that appears in another column of THE BEE this week. This gentleman has fully demonstrated his business capacity and competency to run a first-class insurance company. He is the only manager of insurance who has received a personal letter of commendation from the Superintendent of Insurance. So well pleased was the superintendent with the manner in which Mr. Byrd managed his company that the superintendent took occasion to compliment him. THE BEE is more than pleased to have the opportunity of informing the public that there is one man identified with the negro race fully able to conduct an insurance company to the entire satisfaction of the Superintendent of Insurance. ROOT OUT DISCORD. We are pleased to learn that the Board of Education has taken creditable action in the matter of the report of the "Director" of High Schools concerning which THE BEN made comment last week. 'Excision was what the matter deserved By its action the Board of Education has fully confirmed the confidence which the intelligent and self-respecting colored people of the District impose in it. The Board has manifestly a further duty to perform. Those who are responsible for the state of affairs which gave conception to the offensive reflections and insinuations of the "Director" should be properly disciplined. The schools of the District are embarrassed altogether too much by a set of pestiferous and cantankerous employees who are more industrious about creating discord and strife than about the duties which they are paid to perform. The consequence is that the children of the schools' suffer from a lack of proper teaching and supervision and imbibe lessons in insubordination which the schools are not established to teach. While the Board is in the purging business it is well to root up every element of discord. STORMING THE PRESIDENT. President Roosevelt is being importuned by hundreds of negro applicants for office. It is well understood that these applicants cannot hope to receive an appointment unless they are endorsed by Mr. Booker T. Washington. After the inauguration of President Roosevelt, Mr. Washington will be consulted as to the merits and demerits of negro officeseekers. It is stated authoritatively that Mr. Witfield McKinley will be urged for the office of Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia. Just what claim he has THE BEE doesn't know, unless it is that he is a special champion of Mr. Booker T. Washington. Attorney James H. Hayes, of Richmond, Va., will also be urged for the place by Colonel Slemp, who has informed the President that the Virginia negroes are entitled to recognition. Ex-Attorney General Knox also has a candidate in a man whom he claims is just the person for the place. West Virginia has a candidate, as well as Illinois, Maryland and Ohio. Texas has not been heard from as yet. Just why these gentlemen desire to apply for a place held by another colored man THE BEE is unable to state. The President, is it said, has decided to retain Mr. Dancy. This gentleman has made a satisfactory Recorder of Deeds, and if there is to be a change made, it is hoped that the President will consult the citizens of Washington. You never hear of a citizen of Washington applying for a place held by a citizen of some other State, especially when that office is supported entirely by the taxpayers of the State. The people of this city, while it is true they have no vote, yet they have interests that should be respected and considered. The whipping post was the text of Rev. Frank M. Bristol, of the Metropolitan, Methodist Episcopal Church, last Sunday. True, as this distinguished pastor said, our government is a failure, our laws non-effective, and our governing power weak. In the days of the inquisition we had all forms of brutality. The barbarians ages ago resorted to methods that were necessary to subdue the barbarian; but in this enlightened age, an age of advanced civilization, the enactment of the whipping post would be a mockery on our civilization. As THE BEG stated before, too many laws and police regulations are adopted. The people are too much oppressed. We have too many laws for the good of the community. Perhaps a whipping post would improve the condition of the Delaware and Colorado Legislatures, but not the people of Washington. MR. WASHINGTON SPEAKS. The address of Prof. Booker T Washington in Cleveland, Ohio, on January 12, and reproduced in this issue of THE BEE, puts that gentleman in a different light. THE BEE is always ready to give any man credit for what he says when it is said in the right direction. Mr. Washington's Cleveland speech should be read by all fair-minded people. He has demonstrated manhood in this speech and has assumed a high position in defense of the negro. If Mr. Washington continues in this line of reasoning THE BEE will be glad to commend him. What the negro wants at this time is manhood, and no one can better teach the negro what it is to be manly better than Mr. Washington. He is doing great good at Tuskegee THE BEE will admit, and it hopes that he will continue in this line of argument in telling the negro what is right and what is wrong. THE BEE has devoted a great deal of space to this speech because it deserves it. SUPERINTENDENT MONT GOMERY. THE BEE would suggest to Prof. H. P. Montgomery to assert a little more manhood in his position as superintendent of the colored schools. He has the education as well as the ability. The director of High Schools assumed a little too much when he went over the head of Dr. Montgomery last week. No one is better acquainted with the wants of the Colored High School than Dr. Montgomery, and when this white director volunteered, information to the Board of Education he went too far.

Her chief institution of learning is Livingstone, Salisbury, N.C., which is valued at about two hundred thousand dollars. Her bishops and pastors are regarded to be among the ablest men of the day. THE DOUGLASS RECITAL The city is indebted to the alumni of Cookman Institute for the rare musical treat that was given in Ebeniezer M. E. Church last evening. The Alumni Association, whose president is Dr. J. Seth Hills, and whose secretary is Miss Carrie C. Cutton, conceived this plan of entertainment some months ago, and they were both fortunate and timely in securing Mr. Joseph H Douglass, of Washington City, to give a violin recital. As was stated by Dr. Hill when introducing Mr. Douglass last evening, this is the first time that a great violinist has ever been brought to Jacksonville to play for an audience of cultured colored people. The filled seats proved that the venture was no wasteful experiment. Mr. Douglass is of striking personality, well possessing the physical identity of the illustrious family from which he comes. His appearance on the platform was met with a hearty outburst of applause, and when he drew his bow in the execution of the notes that make up the entrancing harmony of Vieutemp's "Fantasie Caprice," the fulfillment of the keenest expectation was quickly met. Mr. Douglass is a violinist in soul and in every fiber of his body. In his bowing, his fingering, and every manipulation of the violin, he exhibits a finish in attainment that can only be equalled by the heavenly melodies he wells forth. In response to a heavy encore to his first selection he played without accompaniment, "Auld Lang Syne," the quaint and ever memorable notes of which came as a solace to all. Mr. Douglass appeared in two other numbers. Hubay's "Scenes de Lazgarde" and Sarate's "Gypsy Dances." The heartiest applause followed each of these renditions with persistent encores, to which he generously responded. Miss Martha G. Mikell, of Charleston, S. C., a teacher in Avery Institute, of that city, was accompanist, and she filled the initial number for the evening. 1 magnificent piano production, which she executed with rare skill and refinement of touch. Daily Metropolis, Jacksonville, Fla.. December 30, 1904. Dr. Hall read a paper before the J. C. Price Literary Society last Monday evening. President J. C. Overton received a letter from Ex-Gov. P. B. S. Pinchback, who was booked to read, saying that sickness prevented him from being present. The subject of Dr. Hall's paper was: "Is the Bible an Inspired Book?" Rev. Kyley opened the debate and cited some very interesting incidents. He took strong grounds in defense of the Bible being an inspired book. Rev. Kyley is a forcible speaker Others took part in the discussion. Music was furnished by Prof. Ingram. At the Second Baptist Church Lyceum last Sunday afternoon, a paper was read entitled "Our Country." Ex-President A. W. Scott was invited to the platform by President Toomy, who introduced Mr. Scott to speak. Attorney Scott took exceptions with the speaker by saying that this was not the negroes' country but the country of the white man. Proof. Lawson, who was present, excepted to the remark of Attorney Scott and said that he was tired of these young men making such speeches; that this was the negroes' country; that it was his country and he knew no other. At the conclusion of the discussion Attorney Scott took the president to task by allowing him to be attacked; that he had been invited by the president to speak and he (Scott) thought it unfair in him to allow attacks. President Toomy became very much excited, as did Attorney Scott. The president declared that he did not bar any man in ability or anything else in the District of Columbia. Attorney Scott gave the president broadside by telling him he did not show much ability or greatness by accepting a laborer's job in the treasury department, and if he measured his greatness by his present position, he didn't think much of it. The matter ended. ROOMS FOR RENT. Two (2) large communicating rooms furnished for gentlemen or adult family. 1822 Riggs street, northwest. LEGAL NOTICE. PERRI W. FRANK, Attorney.

The pallbearers were Messrs. William H. Brown, Jas. H. Coleman, Simon C. Burnett, John H. Saunders, Louis N. Harris, Jas. D. Massey, Walter J. Abrams, and Daniel Richardson. Interment in vault at Mt. Zion M. E. Cemetery. DEATH OF MISS SCOTT Miss Ruth Scott departed this life Sunday, January 1st, at 8.54 A.M. Miss Scott was a native of this city and was an estimable young woman, not quite twenty-one years of age. She attended the public schools of this city, graduating with honors from the business department of Armstrong Manual Training School in the class of 1902. Upon the recommendation of Dr. W. Bruce Evens, her principal, and Prof. L. G. Fletcher, now deceased, she was engaged as bookkeeper and cashier in the office of Mr. Wm. L. Pollard, succeeding Miss Florence N. Matthews, who was about to be married. The high recommendation which she made in her school life was maintained in her position in Mr. Pollard's office, where she remained until her death, and which loss was deeply felt by her assistants in the business world. She was an active conscientious worker in the Lincoln Temple Church, where her funeral took place Wednesday. January 4th last. Too much praise cannot be given this excellent young woman who was so early taken away and her sudden demise caused a shock to her many friends in the Christian, social and business world.

This decision is directly against the practice in both branches of the Police Court, as is shown by the case under consideration. Turner was discharged from custody on the ground that the sentences or penalties imposed upon him were beyond the jurisdiction of the Police Court, the trial court. From Turner's petition for the writ of habeas corpus, filed last week, it appeared that on March 7, 1904, he was convicted in the Police Court on an information filed by the District of Columbia of carrying a concealed weapon, and of carrying a weapon openly with intent unlawfully to use the same, and on each charge was fined $100, in default of payment of which he was sentenced to imprisonment on each charge (Continued on 8th Page) Name,THE BEE when you call.

Mgr Standing Stones of Stenness Are Subject of Never-Ending Talk and Speculation. London.—It has been asked if some day the mysteries surrounding the Standing Stones of Stenness will be laid bare. There they stand, grim sentinels over a forgotten past, a forgotten civilization. Sir Walter Scott, in "The Pirate," writes:—"Fronting to the bridge stood that remarkable semicircle of huge upright stones which has no rival in Britain, except the infinitable monument at Stone- A PART OF THE RING OF BROGAR. (One of the Prominent Features of the Standing Stones of Stenness.) A PART OF THE RING OF BROGAR. (One of the Prominent Features of the Standing Stones of Stenness.) henge." While the Standing Stones of Stenness is the popular name, the true one is the Ring of Brogar, described in Tudor's "Orkney and Shatland" as a circular place of ground of a diameter of 340 feet, surrounded by a broad fosse of ditch of an average depth of six feet. Originally the circle must have, according to Capt. Thomas, consisted of some 60 stones, each standing 13 feet, 9 inches from the back edge of the fosse, and 17 feet 8 inches from its neighbors. The picture gives a partial idea of the ring. The number of stones still standing is 13, and that is about the number shown in an engraving in "The Pirate." There are several lying flat, and some remnants of others. It is said if the proprietor, Col. Balfour, were approached by the English Society for the Preservation of Ancient Monuments he would afford every assistance in getting up those now recumbent, and affording some assistance to such as are in a tottering condition. "STONEWALL" A CADET. Grandson of Famous Confederate General Given Honor by President Roosevelt: Washington.—President Roosevelt performed a gracious act when he announced his intention of appointing "Stonewall" Jackson Christian to a cadetship at West Point. The news gladdened the heart of Mrs. Jackson, widow of the great confederate general, and it is almost pathetic to see "STONEWALL" JACKSON CHRISTIAN, (A Grandson of the Great Confederate Cavalry Leader) the pride with which she shows the telegram announcing the honor that is to be bestowed on her only grandson. The message was received from Congressman Livingston, of Georgia, which contained the fact, briefly stated, that President Roosevelt had told him in a conversation at the white house that he desired to honor the name of Jackson. The athletic young fellow is now at school near Atlanta, and is pursuing his studies with the same zeal that characterized his soldier grandfather Salaries' of English Pro-Consuls. The highest figure-paid to any proconsul by England is $100,000, which is the sum received by the viceroy of India. This seems a large sum, but it never really covers the expenses. The South African post pays $55,000. The governor general of Australia receives $50,000, equal to the salary of the president of the United States. The same salary, is paid to the governor general of Canada. But in none of these cases is the salary adequate to cover the expense attendant upon entertaining in a style in keeping with the dignity of the position. In South Africa, on the other hand, the governor general need entertain but little. The $55,000 paid Lord Milner in this capacity is a dual salary, $40,000 being paid him as governor of the Transvaal, and $15,000 as high commissioner. The English war and navy departments are close observers of events at the front, and among other points which attract their particular attention is that of the weather conditions accompanying the operations of the two forces. Official records show that almost every important action since gun, cannon and mortar have become factors in warfare was accompanied or followed by thunderstorms or heavy rainfalls. In fact, the heavy ordinance is said to be the direct cause of this natural phenomenon. KING CARLOS AND QUEN AMELIE ARE TALENTED. Both Well-Known in England Where They Were Recently the Guests of King Edward and Queen Alexandra. London.—But few of Europe's royal personages are better known in England than King Carlos and Queen Amelle of Portugal, and both are extremely popular in the British Isles, as has been amply proved during their recent visit to King Edward and Queen Alexandra. King Carlos has, in the past, been a rather frequent visitor to England, and the people have learned to like the big, handsome man who has all the strenuousness of President Roosevelt in his nature. His queen is an Englishwoman by birth. She was one of the exiled Orleans family, and was not only born in England, but passed much of her early years in the country. Since King Carlos succeeded his intellectual father, King Louis, some 15 years ago, he has shown a tact and statesmanship which have made him one of the most successful of Portuguese rulers. Nor has he had an easy task, for financial troubles and foreign difficulties have kept his hands full. Yet Dom Carlos has steered safely through the troubled sea of state, and has brought Portugal to a high position among the nations, besides being himself popular both at home and abroad. For King Carlos is essentially a genial monarch, who, in the interval of state business, can enter heartily into social recreations and take up hobble. He is fond of photography, plays lawn tennis admirably, and is, above all, a keen sportman and a first-rate shot. He carefully cultivates outdoor exercises, not only for the love of athletics, but because his majesty is decidedly inclined to stoutness. The king is an inveterate smoker and an [Image of a man in military uniform]. KING CARLO6 (The Handsome and Talented Monarch of Portugal.) excellent conversationalist. He is just 41 years old. Royal unions are not always love matches, but the marriage of King Carlos and Queen Amelle is an exception. His majesty, when duke of Braganza, was distinctly difficult to please in the choice of a wife. It is said that the portrait of Princess Amelle d'Orleans, eldest daughter of the Comte de Paris, was one day placed in his way as if by accident, and the young duke was at once fascinated. Personal acquaintance increased the attraction, and eventually the young couple were married at Lisbon in 1886. The marriage has proved most happy, for the king and queen are as devoted to each other as in the first days of their union. They have two sons; the duke of Braganza, aged 17, and the duke of Beja, aged 15, most bright and promising lads. Queen, Amelle, now in her fortiflth year, is one of the most accomplished and charming queens on European thrones. Eldest daughter of the Comte de Paris, she was orought up in England in the utmost simplicity, and her English education gave her that love of outdoor sports which is so distinguishing a characteristic. She is a fearless rider and a first-rate whip, while thoroughly domestic and intellectual. What, however, has most endearded her to the English people is her devotion to her people's welfare. The queen has studded medicine thoroughly, so as to understand hospital work and general nursing, and is untiring in her efforts to improve the public health. The higher education of the women enlists her warmest support, and there is scarcely any charitable undertaking throughout Portugal which has not the queen's support. Her majesty still keeps her simple tastes and is never happier than when going about incognito in some quiet gown among the poor of Lisbon, or gardening with the king in leisure moments, their majesties having a splendid collection of exotics. Like her sister, the duchess of Aosta, Queen Amelle is unusually tall, and proves a stately queen indeed. France and Old-Age Pension. The British consul at Calais tells in his annual report of an effort to deal with old age pensions. Twenty-three years ago M. Chatelus formed a society, the rules for membership being a monthly payment of a franc, all the funds to be invested and at the end of 20 years the interest on capital to be equally divided among members, and in each succeeding year those who had been members for 20 years to receive their equal share of this interest. The present rate of pension is £14 18s. per year. The membership now stands at 317,951, with a capital of more than a million and a half pounds STOESSEL'S CHARACTERISTICS SHOWN AT POET ARTHUR. Possessing Qualities of Teuton and Russian He Is Ideal General to Command a Besieged St. Petersburg.—By his heroic defense of Port Arthur, Gen. Anatole Michaeltovitch Stoeussel has acquired a name which will rank with that of the greatest fortress-holders of modern times, with Gordon of Khartoum, Williams of Kars, Uhrlich of Strassburg, Inglis of Lucknow, Osman of Pleva, White of Ladysmith, Baden-Powell of Matelling, and, above all, with Todleben of Sebastopol, Russian soldiers are supposed to be particularly grand in defense, which suits their stolid, stubborn, invincible nature; and when they are commanded by men who to these military qualities of the Slav add the brain-power, the science, and the steady courage of the Teuton, the combination may well have produced shining siege-records as those of the Sebastopol of the Black sea, and its namesake of the Yellow sea. It takes a good many generations, of intermarrying to make a "full-blooded Russian" out of a Teuton of Swiss or German extraction; and with regard to Stoessel, the process of ethnical transformation only began seriously with his father, an officer in the Lancers or the Imperial guard, who was the first of his race to embrace the Orthodox faith, while his grandfather had still adhered to the Lutheran creed which he had derived from his German ancestors—a fact which stamps the hero of Port Arthur as a man of Teutonic extraction no less clearly than his name. His grandfather, Ivan Stoessel, a Lutheran by religion and a German by race, returned from the wars with Napoleon as a lieutenant general, and was made governor of Tsarskoe, Selo. Anatole Michaelovitch himself, who was born 50 years ago, served in the Russo-Turkish war of 1837, though not distin- M. (The Heroic Defender of Besiged Port Arthur.) guishing himself in any marked degree, so that by 1920 he had only struggled up to the command of a regiment of Slberian rifles. His earliest chance came to him during the Boxer troubles, when he was the first to enter Tieptsin, and received the rank of major general for his share in the advance of Peking. "Stoeessel," said Kuropatkin, "is a bad tactician. Put him against equal forces, against a Gourko or a Skouleff, and you'll find him trichie and cut to pieces in four-and-twenty hours. But stick him behind one of his own earthworks, where there's no question of maneuvering, and all the forces of earth and hell will not prevail against him." Little wonder, therefore, that with such a character Stoessel treated as "a joke in bad taste" the united summons of Gen. Nogl. and Admiral Togo to surrender the fortress before their guns had seriously begun to thunder against it. Stoessel showed himself to be a man of singularly few words—when in action, at least—though his Te Deum addresses to his troops after the repulse of Japanese assailants, as well as his dispatches to the czar, were couched in phraseology which seemed to have been equally borrowed from the Psalms of David and the pages of Victor Hugo. Otherwise, he was ever brief and even abrupt of speech, this fortress-holder with the tall, bulky, but rather ungainly, not to say commonplace, figure, and face so little suggestive of the conventional hero. He could wire Hugoesque dispatches of victory to the czar, though to the company which sent word that they could no longer hold their post, his only reply was: "But you can die, then!" And die they did. "What I order can be done," was his rule, and all breaches of discipline were punished with the most merciless severity. "Carry out the sentence." was his flivariable reply to court-martial recommendations to mercy; "it will save lives in the end." A dealer who was found to be selling putrid tinned meat to the soldiers he sentenced to be locked up for three days and fed exclusively on his own polosong stuff. Never popular before, Stoessel soon came to be the tool of his officers and men, who recognized him to be the soul and beacon of their glorious defense. "People say," wrote a correspondent in Port Arthur, "that Gen. Stoessel never sleeps, for when all the city is in darkness a light alone burns in his headquarters." and, it might have been added, in his heart. For even when wounded, and void of all prospect of relief either from Kurupatkin on land or Rozshdestvensky by sea Stoessel continued to bear himself as if convinced that Port Arthur would prove his victory-garland and not his grave. Apart from his own stout heart, which never failed him, another constant source of his courage has been the inspiring presence of his wife. Prof. W. M. Mays, Formerly of Hawk-eye State, Becomes Assistant Secretary of Agriculture. Eldora, Ia—Iowa people are very much pleased at the appointment by the president of Prof. W. M. Hays, of the University of Minnesota, as assistant secretary of agriculture. Mr. Hays was born on a farm about five miles south of this city, near where the present town of Gifford is located; and he received his first schooling in Hardin county where his mother and brother still reside. Mr. Hays for years A. H. PROF W. M. HAYS. (Recently Appointed Assistant Secretary of Agriculture.) has been the personal friend and correspondent of Secretary Wilson of the president's appointee, and for many years at Ames agricultural college the two were associated. For a number of years Prof. Hays was chief editorial writer on the Pacific Farmer, and is the author of many books upon agricultural topics which have been of great benefit to the farmer. Mr. Hays is the secretary of the American Breeders' association which Secretary Wilson is president, and this organization was brought into existence largely through the efforts and work of Mr. Hays. He has also been very much interested in the matter of plant breeding, and throughout the United States Prof. Hays is an authority on this new science and industry. He has originated and introduced two varieties of wheat, which are now being grown upon several thousands of acres of land in Minnesota. The average yield of one of these varieties, Minnesota, No. 169, is 18 per cent above that of the varieties it has displaced. This one variety adds over two dollars additional revenue to the net value of every acre of wheat grown from its seed, which means an increased income to the farmers of Minnesota of hundreds of thousands of dollars per annum. At the Minnesota experiment stations Prof. Hays conducts great experiments in the breeding of other cereals. Taking the place left vacant by the late Mr. Brigham the people of the Hawkeye state have reason to feel that another of her sons has taken a place in the history of his country, although he hails from a neighboring state. It is another case of not being able to lose the Iowa man. Rumor Has It a Swedish Prince May Mate with the President's Daughter. Washington. — Capital society is speculating on the outcome of the rumor that Prince Gustav Adolf of Sweden is to enter the ranks of the contestants for the hand and heart of the president's eldest daughter, Alice. Whether to take the rumor seriously, or as one of the comedies of life, has not yet been decided. The Swedish prince is to visit London this winter, as is also Miss Roosevelt, where she will be the guest of the new ambassador to the English court, Whitelaw Reid. Word comes from Stockholm that Prince Gustav Adolf, having searched throughout Europe without PRINCE GUSTAV ADOLF (Son of King Oscar of Sweden, Looking for a Wife.) PRINCE GUSTAV ADOLF (Son of King Oscar of Sweden, Looking for a Wife.) finding a suitable helpmet, is to try to look with favor on Miss Roosevelt when he meets her, as he expects to do, in London. Whether or not she will suit his fancy remains to be seen, and it also remains to be seen what Miss Roosevelt will say of the proposed union. Prince Adolf, duke of Scandia, is the second son of King Oscar, and may some day be king of Sweden, as the health of the crown prince, who is now nearing the half century mark in years, is not of the beat. Prince Adolf was born November 11, 1882. He is a handsome young man of the true Scandinavian type; a lover of outdoor sports, and a scholar of no mean ability. Butter Coloring. Butter color is made from aniline, and the desired shade is technically called "azo." As a very small quantity will color a large amount of butter, the presence of the chemical cannot be detected by the taste, but in large amounts it is poisonous to a degree.

AGED DELL FOUNDRY LONDON HAS ONE THAT IS SEVEN IRAL CENTURIES OLD. Fenned in 1570 It Is Still Turning Out Work for Catholics and Catholics of the British Lozier — This city has a bell foundry in Worcester road, founded in 1640, where the bells are still made. A pair of bells for the Rochester canal was turned out a few days ago. Two are entirely new, the treble and second bell. Four, which were cast originally in 1718, 1719, 1720, and the fourth having no cast, have been made over. Two of the old bells are cast in 1712 and 1734. Lozier remained. The industry calls for superior workmanship. To be a successful tourer one requires not only to be a good musician and mechanician, but he must also be a practical metallist and possess some of the qualification of an architect. To be able to cast and tune a bell in conjunction with others of the peal, one must have a proper mustache, and a bell metal is made of copper and in the latter being more than a fourth of the whole weight, it would be rulings if the bell founder were not an expert. But the curious stories of the bell-founder do not end there. He has to make the bell wheels and fittings, and in order to appreciate the strength of the bellry in which the bells are to be fitting, he must have a good knowledge of architecture. And will further to insure success he must be a bell ringer. A these attributes are to be found at the boundary whence the great bell of Westminster. the larries ever cast in London; the great bell of Montreal cathedral; the largest ever shipped: "Great Peter" of York Minster: "Great Tom" of Lincoln cathedral; the clock bells of St Paul's (the hour being since 1709); "Bow Bells" of Charside, and a host of others, have their origin. The industry is a most interesting one in all its branches. To begin with the casting of large bells, the shape of the bell is a vital factor. It is its soul. Although the shape has not changed perceptibly for hundreds of years, yet to the eye of the expert the advance of science can be seen. The first difficulty is to get the shape true. That done, the tone will be true. To bring this about an iron mold is made and lined with foam giving the exact shape of the course of the bell. BELL POURING THE METAL INTO A MOLD It Is a More Delicate Operation Than In Easy Apparent. required. It is mathematically correct and inside this mold or frame is built a core of brickwork with a lining of loam on the top. The core and lining is so manipulated that space is left for the exact thickness of the bell. The next step is to place the mold in a loam pit. The loam, which is in the vicinity of the furnace in which the metal is mixed and melted must be absolutely dry. Wet or damp, an explosion will occur. The mold is then burned with the exception of the orifice to which the metal is drawn from the furnace. When the mold is full, a pool of molten metal is left on the top of the pit, so as to obviate the mischance of making an unbound head to the bell. A bell is cooling contracts and the greater thickness of the base draws the metal away from the upper part; hence the necessity for the pool of metal. When the metal is cooled, the mold is taken from the pit and the extraneous parts cut off from the head. If necessary, it is then tuned. In the case of the Rochester seal, the bell's weak cast act in unison with the old, or no more bell, which has been doing duty for some 90 years. If the new bell has been too sharp, it is placed on the ring in a chine, head downward. This made the works, in a circle and cut metal from the inside of the bell. The process continued until the crisscross was obtained. A bell can be sharpened only by cutting it down but this is rarely reported to. Next comes the fitting of the horn or clapper. This is a delicate operation. The staple is first forced, then the clapper and its stem are welded together, and the locket fitted in with railings to the precision. In the force the steel frames are also made. The bell is then fitted with a wheel and load stock. The wheels are made in halfes of English oak, and as in other parts of the foundry, everything is English, a circumstance all the more remarkable when a specially an Englishman is to be found in the surrounding district. Church of Solid Coral. A church of solid coral is a curiosity of the Isle of Maule. This is and rising 3000 feet, is the highest of the St. Cecilia群岛 group in the Indian ocean, and its buildings are all from square blocks bewn from massive coral and gl.stening like white marble. SHELTERED BY SNOWHOUSE Washington.—The small bay of Washington, whose favorite vocation, when the storm king has spread a mantle of white over everything, is to build houses and redoubts and snow men, will need to take lessons from the builder of the house of snow which has been standing at the corner of First and B streets northeast. Charles K. Allen, who has been the switchman at that corner for the electric railway companies during the past UNIQUE SNOW HOUSE four years, began the erection of the house from snow which he aboveeled from the switch in his charge. After the snow had been heaped the desired height the room was scooped out with a spade. Mr. Allen built a similar house last year, but it was not so large as this one, which is nine feet high and 52 feet in circumference on the outside and 18 feet on the inside. The walls are three feet thick. An Eskimo with a desire for the comfort of his family could hardly have made it more completely serviceable. Beginning at the door opening and completing the circle of the house there is a low seat where fire or six persons could sit in comfort. The small boys of the neighborhood come and stand about and gaze at the house with longing desire for one like it, and ply the switchman as to how he came to build his house of snow, how long will it last and innumerable other questions, which are answered good naturedly. On the dome of the snow creation stars and stripes float from three stairs and over the door is a horseshoe, for good luck to those who enter. Mr. Allen built the house as a protection from the wind—a place where he can seek shelter when he is not busy turning the switch, and he has found it well adapted to his purpose. There are several signs tacked upon the outside walls—perhaps by "the small boy." They are "Steamfitter wanted," "Room for rent" etc. There is another snow house, built by a switchman, doubters, near the junction of Indiana avenue and First street, where the cars of the Capital Traction company pass around the curve to and from the B. & O. depot. ATTEND SENATE IN AUTOS Platt, Kean, Allison, Spoonar and Other Prominent Lights Enjoy Machines. Washington. — Representative Sibley is not the only man at the capitol who can give his friends and cronies an automobile ride. For years his newest and most powerful machine, flying up or down Pennsylvania avenue, and climbing or descending Capitol hill, freighted with such choice spirits as Speaker Cannon and Representative Hemenway, has been familiar to the J. SENATOR KEAN. (Ore of the Automobile Enthusiasm, of the capital.) populace. Often Sibley himself is at the wheel guiding the motor through the mazes of street cars and other local traffic. But the senate also comprises in its august membership the owner of an automobile, says the Post. He, too, takes his intimates back and forth daily. The automobile of Senator Kean comes down out of the residential section of the north-west as regularly as the senate's days of meeting roll around. On the way, as a rule, he picks up Senators Platt, of Connecticut; Allison, and Spooner, all whom reside at one hotel. And along late in the afternoon all four, sooner or later, gravitate to the room of the committee on relations with Cuba, where Senator Platt, until a few days ago, was presiding as chairman. With that as a rendezvous, the quartette proceed to the vehicle, snorting and puffing under the great port cochere of the senate, and are whirled untwown to their apartments. WORK OF AN-OLD MAN AGED PHYSICIAN BUILDS A MINIATURE HOUSE. Remarkable Skill Shown in Novel Piece of Mechanism - It Weighs Eleven Ounces and Contains 56 Pieces of Perfect Furniture. York, Pa.—A miniature house of six rooms, 4½ by 6½ inches, weighing 11 ounces, and containing 56 pieces of perfect furniture, some of which weigh less than a grain, has been viewed by over 50 Yorkers at the home of H. A. Johnson, of this city, within the past few days. The tiny home was constructed by Mr. Johnson's brother, Dr. I. D. Johnson, of Kennett square, who is nearly 76 years of age, and who has just returned to his home after visiting his relatives here. The house is a frame structure, built on the cottage style. It has a frontage of 3½ inches and extends back 4½ inches. It is 2½ stories high and has 23 windows. The structure is of hard wood, the outer walls are of cherry, the window frames of black walnut, and the sash of white maple. The front door is of mahogany, has a window in the upper half and a marble step beneath. A colonial porch adorns the front and has an artistic ralling between the columns. A balcony projects from the second-story front and a door opens out upon it from within. There is a little portico on the south side, made of Norway maple, with turned columns, and has a railing on two sides. A door from this leads into the parlor. A delicate serpentine cornice of white wood extends up the gables and along the eaves, front and rear. Two little chimneys deck the roof and three rustic chairs the front porch, which present a homelike and pleasing picture. The inside walls of the building are made separate from the outer and can be withdrawn at pleasure, so as to expose the interior with its household and kitchen furniture. The first floor is divided into a parlor, dining-room and kitchen. From the dining-room a flight of stairs, made after the modern plan, accends to the second story. They are fitted off with handrail, balusters and newel post. In the parlor is a fireplace and a mantel on which stands a little clock. On the partition hang two little mahogany picture frames that contain the miniature portraits of the doctor and his wife. The second floor is divided into two bed chambers and bathroom. The floors are covered with carpets and the rooms embellished with tiny furniture. over 50 pieces in all. These are all put together by mortise and tenon, and the entire work was done without the aid of glasses. The house and contents weigh 11 ounces, and the furniture alone tips the beam at less than half an ounce. Some of the little chairs weigh less than a grain each. Over 20 different kinds of wood enter into the construction of the house and fixtures, some of which are rare and very ancient. The author of this novel piece of mechanism declares he would not duplicate the same for 100 gold dollars. REJECTS OFFICIAL CENSUS. Leader of Church Federation of New York Estimates Population at 4,000,000. New York.-In a publication by the Federation of Churches and Christian organizations in New York city its executive secretary, Rev. Walter Laidlaw, places the population of the city on June 1, 1901, at a minimum of 3,945,907, against the estimate of 3,809,117, as given by the federal census bureau. Mr. Laidlaw said: "The federation has scrutinized the method of the census, with the result that it cannot accept its figures for this city. The method employed by the federal census bureau would have made the population of New York in 1900 but 3,103,130, while it actually was 334,072 greater. The same method would make the population in 1910 only 929,788 larger than it was in 1900. "By our computations the minimum increase by 1910 is placed at 1,275,201. It is shown that New York city grew in 1870-1880 29.3 per cent.; in 1880-1890, 39.1 per cent.; in 1890-1900, 37.1 per cent. The federation, while rejecting the federal census bureau figures, believes its own figures are a minimum. It would, therefore, put the population of New York on January 1, 1905, at more than 4,000,000 people." PATENT ON HEAT BLANKET Alsatian Perfects a Unique Light Covering Which Will Keep Out the Cold Paris.—There is hope for the man or woman who cannot manage to keep warm during cold weather. An Alsatian engineer, Camille Herrgott, has invented a blanket which is always warm and takes no notice of the weather. The heat is furnished by fine electric wires of special construction, woven into the material and heated by a small battery. The blanket cannot possibly take fire, as the wires would break before the heat became sufficient to cause that. Mr. Herrgott is patenting his blanket in America and Canada, for he believes he will gain a fortune there, especially in the northwest and west, by the manufacture and sale of the blankets in these regions. A Strong Argument A woman narrowly escaped being burned to death in St. Louis the other day because she was so fat that the firemen couldn't get her through a window. Here is another strong argument in favor of the sylph-like form. FARMER FOOLED LAWYERS. Agriculturist Finds Himself Able to Sandusky, O.-Hoist on their own petard, caught like Johnnie and Willie in the joke trap they had set for "Foxy Grandpa." was the fate of attorneys in court when they sought to qualify a farmer as an expert witness on locomotive construction and spark arresters. He fooled them by qualifying and the mirth that had been displayed by the lobby was turned into surprise. P. J. Miller is the plaintiff in an action against a railway company to secure $1,600 damages alleged to have been sustained by a fire. He is a farmer. He holds that the blaze which damaged his property was caused by sparks from a passing locomotive. Everybody in the courtroom smiled when the attorneys for the railway company sought to qualify the agriculturist as an expert witness on railway and rolling stock construction. "Will you qualify?" asked the legal lights. "Assuredly," replied Miller. Miller was sworn and his testimony was accepted as that of an expert. The reason? He showed that he had started as a shop boy in the shops of the old Mad River railroad. In this city, had risen to the position of engineer, and later had become master mechanic of the Central railroad of Georgia, master mechanic of the National Railway of Mexico, and general manager of the Rio Grande & Eagle Pass railway. Then he had retired to a farm in this county. His testimony was accepted. BARS MEN AT HER BURIAL. Dillsboro, Ind.—As a result of d'appointment in love and a determination never to recognize men in any business or social relation, Miss Sarah Jackson, living in the St. Leon neighborhood, just north of this place, has provided in her will that only women shall act at her funeral. The will provides that the driver of the bearse must be a woman, the pall bearers must be women, and even those who fill the grave after the coffin is lowered must be of the gentler sex. Money is set apart to meet all necessary expenses, but none of it is to go to men if women can be found to discharge the duties. Miss Jackson has lived in the St. Leon neighborhood for many years, and it is said that in that time she has never broken to as man, her antipathy to the sex being so pronounced that she will not purchase goods of them at the store. She was disappointed in love more than 40 years ago, and during that time has had no communication with men. She has long been regarded as very peculiar, but the fact that she is carrying her aversion to men even to the grave is a surprise to her friends. UNIQUE PAPER TO SUSPEND Organ Published in the Indian Language for the Cherokee Nation Will Soon Quit. Guthrie, Gila.-The Cherokee Advocate, the only paper in the world printed in the Indian language, will cease publication with its issue of March 4, 1905, at which time the tribal government of the Cherokee Indians will come to an end. It is published at Tahlequah and circulates among the Indians of the Cherokee nation. It is printed half in English and half in Cherokee. There are living only five men who are able to set the Cherokee type for the newspaper. They are T. W. Foreman, Gall Starr, George Wofford, Joe Sequiche and D. E. Smallwood. The Advocate's editor and manager never has to worry about business. The paper is a national institution, the Creek house of kings passing an appropriation every year for its support. It is distributed free to the full-blooded Cherokees, who cannot read Engli-h. One thousand copies are sent to them weekly. In addition to this, there are hundreds of copies sent out over the United States as curiosities. The paper was established in 1814. GIANT STONE ON HIS GRAVE Monolith Is Placed Over Remains of Sir Henry Stanley, the Great London. After a long search over the wilds of Dartmoor, a monolith-12 feet long, 4 feet wide, 2 feet 6 inches in thickness, and weighing six tons—which has defied the claing fingers of time and tempest, has been found to stand at the head of Sir H. M. Stanley's grave at Pirbright. Lady Stanley desired to obtain a stone "fashioned by the ages, tempered and colored by time, and untouched by man." Such a stone was discovered on a farm, lying recumbent on the borders of a natural roadway. Three of its faces had been exposed for uncounted generations. The difficulties of its removal from Devonshire were considerable, but they were eventually overcome; and it now stands in the quiet village churchyard, a fitting tribute to the memory of the great explorer. The inscription bears not only the name so familiar to Englishmen, but the words "Bula Matarl" ("the rock breaker") indicate the title he bore in Darkest Africa. The Final Owner. It is safe to say that when the Japa and the Russians are all through the final owner of the 203-Meter hill will be the Port Arthur gas trust. INSTRUMENT THAT TRANSMITS 42,600 WORDS AN HOUR. London.—The average person can write about 30 to 35 words a minute. A good typist can turn out about double that amount. There was exhibited at a hotel here the other day a telegraph instrument that can transmit messages and write them out in the most legible of hand-writing at the rate of more than 40,000 words an hour. This is the latest, and, it would seem, the greatest marvel of electric telegraphy. The fastest telegraphic instrument at present in operation is the Wheatstone automatic, which transmits telegrams from city to city at the rate of 200 to 250 words a minute. But messages when sent by this system still have to be translated from the Morse telegraphic language into ordinary language, and this can be done only at ordinary writing speed. The new Pollak-Virag telegraph instrument transmits messages at nearly four times the speed, and delivers them direct from the instrument written in the plainest of ordinary copy book handwriting. How it is done is a technical marvel that takes an electrical expert to grasp completely, but roughly simplified the system is a commonplace. First, the message to be transmitted is converted into telegraphic dots and dashes on a perforator that looks like an ordinary typewriter. This perforator punches in a slip of paper a complicated series of holes that correspond in electrical impulses to the form of letters. By passing this slip over a series of cylinders, electric waves find their way through the prepared holes, quick as a lightning flash, and are transmitted instantaneously to the other end of the wire, however far it is, and come out in the same sequence in which they entered. The manner in which the letters are recorded is the marvel. Photography is called in. The electric waves are converged to a little mirror, and they make the mirror move in two directions—horizontal and vertical. Electric light is focused on the mirror, and then directed from it to a slip of sensitized paper. The mirror moves only about the hundredth part of a millimeter, and the exposure of the sensitized paper is only about the thousandth part of a second, but the lightning flash is quicker, and, though the eye cannot follow the writing, yet it appears, plain as a pilestaff, and without the possibility of an error, at the rate of almost 15 words a second. The two motions—vertical and horizontal—with the motion of the paper being drawn before the finger of light, supply all the motions of handwriting. If produced slowly they would, of course, be angular, but the speed makes them practically curved. Developing and fixing the photographed message takes ten seconds, so that the written message is received ten seconds later than its transmission. The system is so fast that it is really ahead of the age. Very few towns, let alone individuals, want to telegraph 40,060 words an hour. Indeed, Austria-Hungary, the home of the inventors, while enthusiastically indulging the invention, could not make use of it, because no two telegraph offices in the empire have enough work to keep it googling. They would have to save up telegrams for a week to keep the instrument going ten minutes. It ought to prove of immense value in transmitting speeches from out-of-the-way places, where few wires exist. SONG CONVERTS A THIEF. Turns from Salvatian Arniy Lassies and Makes Restitution to Victims of Robberies. Pottsville, Pa. — Salvation Army street singers are credited with having induced Lester R. Curry, a self-acknowledged thief, to change his mode of life. Some weeks ago a stolen watch was sent to police headquarters, with a note urging its return to an address in the suburb. The note was signed "Thief." The other day Michael Gripple, who had been absent from home, returned. Chief Davies found him at the address and turned the watch over to him. He fully identified it as his property, and said the watch was stolen from his home by a pedaler answering Curry's description. The police had found that the man who signed himself "Thief" was registered as Curry at a hotel here. He was seen a short time before he sent the note to turn from the street singers to whom he was listening, with tear-dropping from his eyes. Dean Diamond Mines. Prof. Henry Mills is lecturing to a London audience recently said that there is no knowledge of the depths to which the South African diamond mines can be worked. The deeper they go the richer they become. Work can be carried on now to a depth of 2,500 feet and it is thought that it might be continued to a depth of 5,000 feet or even 10,000 feet if engineering difficulties could be overcome. Sea Lion Kills Octopus. The keeper of the lighthouse near Crescent City. Cal. reports a battle between a sea lion and an octopus. The octopus wound its tentacles around the lion's body, but the lion bit them off one after the other and ate them. Other lions then helped to dispose of the octopus' carcass.

(Continued from 5th Page.) On March 9, 1904, while serving this sentence, he was convicted in the Police Court, on an information, filed by the United States, of assault, and was sentenced to pay a fine of $100, and in default to be imprisoned in jail for 364 days. While in jail, Turner's behavior has been good, and for each month of service he is entuled to a commutation of five days. In deciding the case Judge Barnard held that the two sections on the information filed by the District of Columbia were to run concurrently, and had expired several months ago He then held that all three sentences were commulative, and that under section 934, of the code of the District of Columbia, the Police Court was without authority to impose a single sentence of more than one year, or several sentences aggregating more than one year; and that, as the petitioner had already served a year in jail, less the time to which he was entitled for his conduct, he was now illegally imprisoned. He therefore discharged Turner from the custody of the warden of the jail The petitioner was represented by Fountain Peyton, while the warden of the jail was represented by Assistant United States Attorney Adkins.

HIDDEN ISLES OF THE SEA. Many a noble ship, richly laden with the proudest spoils of human industry and enterprise, and freighted with that which is dearer still—human life—has passed away with the morning sunlight glittering on its snowy canvas; passed away, never to arrive at its destination; passed away forever from the ken and knowledge of men as completely as if it had never been in existence. What has become of those vanished argosies? Whither have they gone? When the seas give up their dead, and the old ocean lays bare its secrets, the ```markdown ``` human skeletons, the virgin gold, the priceless gems, the costly jewels, and the wrecks of those vanished ships will be found strewn amid the tremendous passes and deep defiles of those submerged mountain ranges which are the backbones of lost continents, upon those topmost peaks, projecting near the surface of the seas, these lost convoys have been dashed to destruction!
