PAPER POR THE PEOPLE A FIRESIDE COMPANion. it is true if you see it in THE BEE. Commissioner West Contradicts Booker Washington—A Just Rebuke—Merit Wins with Mr. West and not Color. The graduating exercises of the Washington Normal School No. 2, M Street High School and the Armstrong Manual Training School took place at Convention Hall on Friday evening, June 10th, in the presence of the largest assembly of people that ever took place in this city. This city was, at its best. The best class of citizens assembled to do honor to the occasion. The principal addresses of the evening were delivered by Commissioners Macfarland, West and Mr. Booker T. Washington. Hon. B. F. Macfarland said, in part: This, my friends, is a high day of achievement—a day of congratulation. The District of Columbia is to be congratulated as much as these graduates and their relatives and friends, for whatever advances any of us advances all of us, since we as a community march only so fast as the slowest marches. This is why the United States and the taxpayers of the District of Columbia jointly provide education for all who will come into the "open door" of the school house. Education, mental and spiritual, is held to be the master key that unlocks the shackles of mental and spiritual slavery, and without it no man can be free. Free school houses, for free children, make free men and free women—and nothing else will. Most of us who are here to-night know the political slavery of the body only by tradition, for it is more than forty years since Abraham Lincoln made his name immortal by writing his name at the bottom of the Emancipation Proclamation. (Applause.) In that short time—not much more than a generation—the race to which he gave liberty, then a political infant, without an inheritance, without property or influence, without education, with practically nothing but its religion and with all the meaghtable evils of slavery to hamper it, has made progress unexamplied, under similar circumstances, in the history of the world. (Applause.) It did not have to wander forty years in the wilderness before it comes to its Canaan of opportunity, and, all things considered, it is making the most of the Promised Land. It has learned that no President's proclamation, that no Congressional enactment, that no amendment to the Constitution of the United States can give freedom from ignorance, or superstition or can give industrial independence, and that, without these, political freedom is but a mockery of its success in the development of character and of ability to meet the demands of this industrial age in all the world as one great workshop, is full of encouragement in the present and full of hope for the future. Here, in the national capital, we have amenable examples of what fine citizens your race can produce under favorable conditions, with a fair high general average of citizenship. None of them deserve or have our respect more than those who are in the service of the public schools. Example there is more far more than precept. Every year these faithful, intelligent, high minded men and women graduate from Normal No. 2, from Armstrong Manual Training School and from the M Street High School—all happily united in this remarkable gathering to-night. Those who have profited by example and precept and who are ready, therefore, to meet the obligations of citizenship—all the greater, as they themselves acknowledge, in their case, because of what the State has done for them and because of the anxious self-sacrifice of relatives and friends which has made it possible for them to take advantage of this training. It is easy, at any time and as to anything, to look on the dark side. It is easy in this case to see many discouragements in the way of the progress of this race, but it is not hard to see the bright side and the hopeful progress that is steadily being made in spite of difficulties—and that is the best kind of progress. Seeing as we may, seeing as we must, the working of Providence in all our national life, we can confidently claim that the future, as well as the past, is secure if we only do our duty! (Great applause.) Musie: Entr'Act, "The Maple Leaf"—Jophin. Hon. H. B. F. Macfarland then proceeded to introduce Mr. Washington, It is a pleasure and a privilege for me to be permitted to stand before you for a few minutes this evening. When your invitation came to me in the midst of the many duties and responsibilities which press so heavily upon me at this season of the year, I hesitated long as to whether or not I could and ought accept the invitation which was so generously extended to me. And then when I thought that, perhaps, I might be able to speak a word that might be of some comfort—that might, perchance, be of some profit to some struggling and ambitious soul—I said that my duty leads me to accept this invitation, and so I am here. The question that presents itself to the thinking mind is, "Are you justified can you justify in actual, indisputable results, the difference between $13 per capita and 73 cents per capita, States?" In order that you may justify that difference it is important that, as parents, important that as teachers, important that as students you sink all personal differences, all localisms, all more temporal considerations, and let your influence for good go out to the people of the United States. (Applause.) Because you do not teach alone in the District of Columbia, twenty thousand children, but in a very large degree you are the teachers here of the three millions of children of our race scattered throughout this nation. That brings to you, I repeat, as teachers, parents and pupils, a tremendous responsibility. We are looking to you more and more each year for example, for guidance, for inspiration in our educational methods throughout this country. Failure here is not local but national, and success here is not local but national, reaching the people in every part of this country. You have an opportunity here as few people have ever had—an opportunity to actually put into visible form the teaching of the "Teacher of teachers" when he said, "Go ye into all the world" and teach the peoples and the nations the commandments which I have impressed upon you. And, my friends, I am glad that for a number of years I have had by my side a young man who went through your public schools, who graduated at your High School, and later graduated at one of our great universities, who has manifested in his daily life the fact, the great truth, that the money spent in the education of our people here has not been, squandered. (Great apause.) And just in, proportion as your pub (Continued on Fifth Page.) WASHINGTON WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY J Senator Foraker. At Arlington, Va., May 30th, Memorial Day, Senator J. B.

Time, patience, patriotism and the education of experience may be necessary to practically, and in reality, secure to the black man, everywhere, all his legal rights and privileges, but his mental and moral growth give the highest assurance that he will eventually vindicate the statesmenship that made him a freeman and a citizen of the Republic; while his loyalty and heroism as shown in every war in which we have allowed him to participate will win for him a triumph over a ltthe prejudices that stand between him and the 'doorf obhe. In this cemetery lie hundreds of his race who gallantly wore the uniform, as thousands are gallantly wearing it today, but nowhere, in all this broad land, can a single one be found, among either the vliing or the dead, who ever raised his hand against our flag. It is not possible that in this country where there is such a genuous recogni- H. M. HON. HENRY B. F. MACFARLAND. tion of human rights such a race can fail to achieve success. No man can do, or is doing, so much to accomplish this as the black man himself. Education, industry and frugality, with his other good qualities, will more and more command respect and secure advancement. His progress since emancipation has been phenomenal, and under all the circumstances he may well take courage for the future; while every comrade of the Uinon Army may be assured that what he did for that people was not done in vain. We have other questions, and many of them, and always will have, for we are an active, energetic, progressive people, ever pressing forward to the accomplishment of some great purpose; but whether they are the labor questions, the trust questions, the control of corpation, the regulation of railroads, the maintenance or the revision of our industrial policies, or something else, our differences with respect to them are not likely to be affected by State lines, and probably not seriously by party lines, as we have here-tofore known them, for the indications are that as to all these subjects a strong spirit of Americanism will determine what shall be done. This is the most hopeful sign of the day. Where genuine Americanism prevails there cannot be danger of any very widespread of populism, communism, anarchism, or any other heresy that would undermine and overthrow our institutions. Coupled with the saving common sense of the American people, which has never yet failed us, this national spirit is at once our greatest shield from harm and our greast incentive to the highest and noblest endeavor.

Woodrum, who about one year ago lost an arm in a wreck at Montgomery, was awarded $15,000 damages by a jury in the Federal Court at Charleston, W. Va., against the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad. The twenty-fifth anniversary of Rev. Dr. E. Payne as pastor of the Fourth Baptist Church at Reclunds, Va., was celebrated the 12th instant. The celebration lasted one week, during which time $1,223.75 was raised to pay the debt against the church. At the conclusion of the meeting a grand banquet was held in honor of the pastor and his friends. Miss Portia Washington, the daughter of Mr. Booker T.

Purcell will leave for Jacksonville early next week. Mr. Purcell goes on business connected with his final departure from this city to make Jacksonville his future home. It is expected that he will return here within two or three weeks to wind up his business and then return finally to Jacksonville. Mr. Purcell and family located here about six years ago, ostensibly to practice his profession, and how well he has succeeded needs no comment from the Sentinel. It is very likely that nowhere in the South is there more cordial relation existing between the white and colored members of the bar than as shown in Pensacola. This state of affairs here accounts largely for Mr. Purcell's continuous success in the practice of his profession in Pensacola. His locating in Jacksonville does not grow out of any lack of professional labor here, but his leaving this city is to be attributed to a recently consummated partnership with Mr. J. Douglass Wetmore, of Jacksonville, that city being more central, therefore affording a wider field for the operations of the law firm of Wetmore & Purcell. The Florida Sentinel has every confidence in the ability and legal acumen of these correct lawyers, and the negro race in Jacksonville can well afford to welcome to their city this firm of representative colored men in the legal profession. WE SHALL SHED NO TEARS. ( From the Charleston Messenger. ) Mr. Editor: THE WASHINGTON BEE has turned its mighty influence in support of Mr. Douglass Whetmore, an attorney of law at Jacksonville, Fla., and also one of the City Fathers of that growing place. It appears that the people of Jacksonville are determiend to apply the rod of correction to him. They deplore the fact that circumstances have rendered this necessary; yet do it they must. Mr. Whetmore has not, it is said, been all that he should be. He has done well in some particulars but grievous, it is said, has been his behavior otherwise; and while we like THE BEE, we deplore that fact that our only representatives in that city council should be cut off, yet when his life is not all in keeping with the high duties of his office, the people should consider not the cost in applying the rod of correction. We do not know Mr. Whetmore personally, but it is on record that he openly insulted the members of our local bar during his visit here some time ago, and did not even extend to them the courtesies that one member of the bar owes another, by a visit to their houses or places of business. Surely if this represents for the conduct of the man we shall shed no tears if the people teach him the lesson of humility by defeat. CLOSE OBSERVER MR. LANGSTON PROMOTED. Some few days ago Mr. Alvey, in the assessor's or tax collector's office, recommended for promotion Mr. Frank Langston, the son of the late John Mercer Langston. Mr. Alvey is the son of Ex-Judge Alvey of the Court of Appeals. It is said that he is a chip from the old block. He is one man who knows no one by the color of his skin. The promotion of Mr. Langston is a worthy one and highly appreciated by his friends. ONLY $1.00 TO HARPER'S FERRY, CHARLESTOWN AND WINCHESTER AND RETURN VIA BALTIMORE & OHIO RAILROAD.

Among other things the Wisconsin Advocate says: "The editorial in question accuses the editor of The Advocate of duplicity, and makes statements which have absolutely no foundation on facts. In the sanctum of THE BEE the editor certainly spoke concerning Mr. Washington, but he defies the editor of THE BEE to mention anything said in any way derogatory to that gentleman. The same can be said of the accusation that Mr. Emmet Scott was abused during the conversation. And as to a message being brought from that gentleman to the editor of THE BEE, that is an absurdity, as we never even saw Mr. Scott while in Washington. The story so far as we are concerned is made out of whole cloth. We are sorry to have to refer to this, but we feel that it is only justice to ourselves, as the article in question tended to place us in a most unfavorable light before the public. The files of the two newspapers for the last seven years will show which has been the more consistent." Now this glib tongued negro of the Wisconsin Advocate denies what he said to the editor, of THE BEE concerning Booker Washington and Emmet Scott. THE BEE has no favors to ask either, and never did. The negro of the Advocate said so much about different people, no wonder he forgets what he said concerning Washington and Scott. The editor of THE BEE never sought this negro out. He called to see him and was very profuse in his greeting. Did he stay? No. He called at both the law and newspaper offices, and he always had something to say about these two apologists. Does the editor of the Advocate deny many other things that he stated to THE BEE? Does he deny his visit o the Arlington Hotel and its result? THE BEE has no favors to ask either Scott or Washington, and neither has the editor of the Advocate any love for either, if what he said to THE BEE is true. Now, Mr. Advocate, don't force THE BEE to talk because it may be compelled to declare a few things that would be very embarrassing. "Shake not your gory locks at me, it was not I that did it." THEODORE ROOSEVELT. Mr. and Mrs. Harry W. Peters, of 1720 Seventh street, N. W., on last Monday evening christened their little son, who was born March 19, 1905, Rev. Wiseman, pastor of the Church of Our Redeemer, performed the ceremony. Mr. Peyton R. Harvey, a well known citizen and personal friend of Mr. and Mrs. Peters, stood as godfather, and Miss Malie Wilson, of Franklin, Ky., as godmother. The baby was named Theodore Roosevelt Peters. When the pastor announced the name much enthusiasm was manifest. On the night it was announced that Mr. Roosevelt was elected Mr. Peters declared, before the baby was born, that he would name it Theodore Roosevelt whether it was a boy or girl. When this fact was made known by the pastor, Mr. Peters declared that it was true and it was his intention to name the baby as above indicated. The guests consisted of the family and quite a number of their friends, who had a most enjoyable time. The happiest person in the entire company was Mr. H. W. Peters. He is now a papa in deed and in fact, remarked his guests. The reception room in which the refreshments were served was beautifully decorated with flowers and palms. Mrs. Peters wore a handsome gown, very becoming to her stately appearance. Office G. S. G. M. O. of O. F. in America. W. C. Martin, Esq.

PARROT IS_MERCENARY. Love for Bills Causes Disaster to Cus- tomer, Who Hands One Out Playtully. Philadelphia —Tiogs boasts of one of the best educated parrots to be found in the city. The bird, which ts quite sged, belongs to a German clock maker at Tioga and Smedley streets. One of “Polly's” weaknesses is her love for paper money. She is permitted the freadom of the store, but delights in perching on top of a showcase. When & customer enters the store Polly greets him with: ‘How do you do? Got any money? Pretty Poll!” George Roberts called at the store for a chock he had left a week ago to be repaired, He took a dollar bill from his pocketbook. and, holding it in his hand, satd:~ “Look, Polly, here's money.” “Pretty Poll likes money,” was the reply, as the bird made a dive for the bill.

Coming Member of the Cabinet a Grandnephew of the Famous Napoleon—Never Wished for Noble Bank. Washington.—Charles J. Bonaparte, of Baltimore, grandnephew of the great Napoleon, will become secretary of the navy when Paul Morton retires July, I to become the executive head of the New York subway. President Roosevelt and Mr. Bonaparte have been friends for many years. Mr. Bonaparte touched elbows with President Roosevelt when both were fighting the battles of civil service reform. Charles Joseph Bonaparte is a grandson of Jerome Bonaparte, king of Westphalia, who was a brother of Napoleon I. It does not take a close look at his face to see features that recall the familiar pictures of his ancestors. Persons who have made a study of heredity point to his rise to prominence as an example of its influence and that his greatness is the awakening of a spirit that has been dormant in his family for a time. Mr. Bonaparte has never been conceived about his ancestry, but has always considered himself as an independent individuality and he has a positive aversion to being compared to his ancestors. Mr. Bonaparte is an American through and through. He cares little for foreign travel and the places made famous by the deeds of his ancestors have no charm for him. He is, perhaps, prouder of his grandmother than of his more historical ancestors. She was Elizabeth Patterson, daughter of a Baltimore merchant and known as one of the fairest women of her time, one of the group of Baltimoreans that have won wide distinction for beauty and brilliancy. Mr. Bonaparte's father was never naturalized as an American citizen. A. CHARLES J BONAPARTE. (Chosen by President as New Secretary of the Navy.) This act would have interfered with his aspirations to recognition as a member of the French imperial family. He lived the quiet life of a gentleman and cultivated literary pursuits. He had two sons—Jerome Napoleon and Charles Joseph Bonparte. The elder, Jerome, was born in Baltimore in 1832. He had a decided bent for military life, which pleased his grandmother. He served first in the United States army, later as a lieutenant in the French army. The young man displayed great bravery, at Balaklava, Inkerman and at the siege of Sevastopol he won the Crimean medal from Queen Victoria. Until his death he fought in the courts of France for his right to a place in the imperial line. The French allowed him the title of Prince Napoleon, but to it were attached no privileges, and he spent the latter part of his life in the United States. He died in 1893. Mr. Bonaparte never shared any of his brother's ambition for noble rank, and he had little sympathy in the contest. No one doubts that he is prouder as an American citizen, with the rank of secretary of the navy, than of all his ancestors' titles combined. Mr. Boneparte was born in Baltimore. June 9, 1851. His mother was Miss Susan May Williams, of Roxbury, Mass. He was graduated at Harvard college in 1871 and at the Harvard law school three years later. Admitted to the bar of Maryland in 1874, he has since then practiced his profession in Baltimore. He was married at Newport, R. I. 1875, to Miss Ellen Channing Day, of Boston. Aside from the interest that would naturally attach to a man of such distinguished ancestry Mr. Bonaparte has a very distinct personality of his own that in any event would have attracted attention to him. He is a speaker of great force, and his telling smile is a fitting accompaniment to his piercing sarcasm and punctuates his epigrams. It was the prominence he gained as the head of the Baltimore reformers that attracted the attention of President Roosevelt. He is of refined, simple tastes. His city home is comfortably but not lavishly or expensively furnished. He possesses many rare relics, the greater part of which are at his country home, Belle Vista, in the Long Green valley between Towson and Belair. He owns several other estates in Maryland, but it is here that he now spends much of the year. He takes great interest in farming and has a large force of workmen employed. He is a regular churchman and attends the cathedral nearly every Sunday. About two years ago he was the recipient of the Laetare medal, conferred each year by the University of Notre Dame on some leading Catholic layman. CUP WORTH A FORTUNE: Tiny Drinking Vessel for Which J. Pierpont Morgan Paid the Sum of $81,375. New York.—Herewith is a picture of the Crystal Cup bought by J. Pierpont Morgan the other day in London for the highest price ever paid for such an object, $81,375. The cup is catalogued as a biberon—drinking vessel with a spout, for an invalid's use of midsixteenth century Italian workmanship. It is $16\frac{1}{4} inches long, and about a foot tall, or, to be exact, $12\frac{1}{4} inches high. The reproduction, at a little distance, presents much the outline of a turtle poised upon a pedestal, with an ornate support for a figure of Neptune surmounting the turtle's back. Persons who have seen a giant sea tortoise at the Bronx zoo may gather from that form an idea of the biberon's out- VALUABLE DRINKING CUP (Tiny Vessel of Ancient Make That Cost Thousands of Dollars) VALUABLE DRINKING CUP (Tiny Vessel of Ancient Make That Cost Thousands of Dollars) line, without reference to size. The catalogue describes the cup as "roughly resembling a monster." The head of the diminutive monster form the spout of the vessel, and "the monster shape," in the words of the catalogue. "is lost in the fluted, shell-like effect of the general outline." Back of the neck, and spread over the forward end, or shoulders, of the body, are two wings. The stem is uniform, and its base is carved with cockle shells in low relief. The statue of Neptune, which surmounts the cover, depicts the sea god astride a dolphin and the dolphin rests upon, or rises, from a wave pattern base. The cup has gold mounts of simple forms, but enriched with strap work in opaque and translucent enamels, set with precious stones. The under side of the handle—or statuette of Neptune astride the dolphin—and the upper end of the basal stem, which show through the crystal body of the vase, are also chased and enameled. TO WELCOME ELKS. Fine Street Displays Planned for Coming National Reunion of Order at Buffalo. Buffalo.—Contracts have just been let by Buffalo, lodge, B. P. O. E., for four street displays to be made incidental to the national reunion of Elks to be held in this city next July, when it is expected fully 75,000 strangers will be here. The four displays will cost the local Elks $25,850, and it is said will surpass anything of the kind ever before attempted at any national gathering of Elks. The displays will be at Main and Huron streets. LaFayette street, Shelton square and Main and Seneca streets. At Main and Huron streets there will be a monster arch depicting a wood- "YE OLD HERMITAGE." (Feature of Street Display for Reunion of Eke at Buffalo.) land scene, in which natural trees and artificial streams will be prominent. This display will cost $8,500. The display at Main and Seneca streets will be an electric canopy, more than 50 feet in height and containing more than 3,700 electric lights. It will be of steel construction and will cover the entire width of Main street from sidewalk to sidewalk. This display will cost $2,850. At Lafayette park the display will consist of an arch extending the entire length of the walk on the Main street side of the park. The platform over the archway will form one of the largest reviewing stands ever erected in Buffalo. This display will cost $6,500. "Ye Old Hermitage" is the title of the display to be made at Shelton square. The plan shows two openings, one at the right and one at the left of the base of the hermitage proper. This display will cost $8,000. Vatican Army Reformed. Pope Pius X. is reforming his "army." The forces of the Holy See at present hardly exceed 400 men, and half of these consist of the citizen soldiers known as the Palatine Guard, who are detailed for service in St. Peter's and the Vatican during the great papal functions. The holy father has reduced their number from 200 to 100. He has also reduced by 30 men the Swiss Guards, who now number about 90. On the other hand, he has increased the pontifical gendarmes, whose functions are more useful than ornamental, from 72 to 100. The number of the Noble Guards has been left unaltered, but 25 of the older members of it have a younger generation. NEW ENVOY POPULAR AMBASSADOR REID IS WELL KNOWN IN ENGLAND. Amply Qualified to Assume the Important Post to Which He Has Been Appointed—Sketch of His Career. New York.—Whitelaw Reid, the new ambassador to the court of St. James who sailed with his family May 27 for his new post, is already well known and popular in England and through out Europe. He was special ambassador at Queen Victoria's diamond jubilee and again at King Edward's coronation. He twice declined the diplomatic mission to Germany. He was ambassador to France under President Harrison. He was candidate for vice president with Harrison in 1892. He was a commissioner for the treaty of peace with Spain. Meanwhile, for many years he has directed the editorial policy of one of America's greatest newspapers. Whitelaw, Reid's career, told however briefly, shows him to be one of the highest types of the successful American. He was born in Xenla, O. 68 years ago, and when hardly out of his teens was editor of the Xenla News. He was early a student of politics, and at 19 was on the stump for Fremont. He was educated at Miami university, Ohio. Many American institutions of learning have honored him with degrees. Cambridge university has made him an LL.D. He is president of the board of regents of New York State university. He is the author of the "Memoirs of Tallyrand," "The Scholar in Politics," "Ohio in the War," and other works. He served in the civil war, became a war correspondent, and wrote tersely and graphically. He was a clerk to the military committee of the house of representatives and afterward librarian of the house. He joined the editorial staff of the New York Tribune in 1868 and became its editor and chief proprietor upon the death of Horace WHITELAW REID. (New United States Ambassador to Great Britain.) Greeley in 1872. One of his chiefest aids on that great newspaper was John Hay, now secretary of state. In 1881 Reid married Miss Elizabeth Mills, daughter of D. Ogden Mills, the New York multimillionaire and philanthropist. Reid's reception as special ambassador to Great Britain for King Edward's coronation forecasted the greeting he received on his arrival as the representative of the United States. The king and queen received Mr. Reid and his wife with extreme cordiality. They were welcomed at and gave many notable entertainments. Of Mr. Reid's public speeches in England it is enough to quote the Liverpool Daily Post, which said that his address at the dinner of the American chamber of commerce in Liverpool was full of "fellicitous epigrams," and added: "The warmth of American feeling toward the king and people of this country could not have found happier and more cordial expression than in the glowing words of Whitelaw Reid." Mr. Reid takes an office and will perform functions for which he is fitted by character and training. He understands the administration's views, is in political sympathy with it, is trusted by it. He has the wealth and the social standing and qualification which constitute the necessary equipment for the highly important personal and unofficial part of his work. He has tacit the Britons will get on very well with him. The Americans, represented by him, will get on very well with the Britons. Glass for Paying Blocks. At the request of the secretary of commerce and labor the department of state at Washington has been collecting information concerning the use of paving blocks and building brick made of glass. Paving blocks of this character are used in France. Old glass obtained from broken bottles, window panes and the like is used in the manufactue of these bricks and tiles. Tests carried out in Paris showed that a certain make of this artificial stone resisted a pressure of 28,774 pounds to the square inch, while granite stood a pressure of only 9,245 pounds. The glass block stood extremely low temperatures without cracking, endured friction well and proved to have great power to resist bdows. Europe's Oldest Woman. Marla Candida Magalhaes, the oldest woman in Europe, and who lives in Portugal, the other day celebrated her one hundred and fifteenth birthday. She often speaks of the battle of Trafalgar, which she remembers as if it had just happened. She has spent most of her life as a domestic worker and has always been a moderate drinker of wine. ONCE STRUCK KING EDWARD Fliery Old Earl of Wemyss and His London.—One of the most remarkable men in the house of lords is the venerable earl of Wemyss, who caused no little amusement the other day by sitting down on his own silk tile at the conclusion of a fiery speech on the evils of Sunday trading. It recalled a more sensational performance in the same [Illustration of a man in military uniform]. line when the earl crushed another hat—a hat that did not belong to him—and thereby acquired the distinction of being the only man who had ever struck his sovereign. It occurred during a debate in the house of lords when the earl was making a vehement harangue in favor of a militia ballot. The king—then the prince of Wales—chanced to be occupying a seat in front of him. Emphasizing one of his points with a magnificent gesture, the zealous peer brought his clenched fatt down hard on the royal hat, bonneting his future ruler effectively. It was characteristic of the earl that he did not allow the untoward incident to disturb the thread of his discourse, postponing his apologies to a more convenient season. But his royal highness displayed great agility in getting out of range. Though 86 years old last August, Lord Wemyss shows no signs of mental decrepititude. Tall, lean, willowy, burning with the fire of an unquenchable enthusiasm, gaunt and rugged in his oratory, his silvery locks flying wildly about his ears, the keen features sharpened by time and periodical conflict, he would pass in the kilt for somewarseamed Scottish chieftan, hero of a score of tales of border fray. He is a prophet of woe—a modern Jeremiah whose voice is filled with lamentations. Ever since he entered public life—and that was long before most of those now conspicuous in it were born—he has preached a doctrine of national pessimism. The times to him have been always out of joint, but he has never inveighed against the spite, however unblessed, which has caused his creation to set it right. But his sincerity and patriotism cannot be disputed. No man has done more to foster the volunteer movement. It was 45 years ago that he first assumed command of a corps, and his gift, the Elcho challenge shield, still testifies to his practical interest in the body whose motto is "Defense, Not Defiance." He has the courage of his convictions at all times and is never bothered by considerations of consistency. He has proclaimed both communism and individualism. He once opposed the habitual 'inebriates bill in the house of lords on the ground that every Englishman ought to be allowed to get drunk when it 'pleased him to do so. In his own person he furnishes the best refutation of his eremilads on national decadence. Though he long ago passed the age when most men are supposed to have something more than one foot in the grave, he is still sound in wind and limb; is a keen sportsman, hunts, fishes and drives his own motor car, makes speeches full of fire and vigor whenever the spirit moves him, writes books and beguilles what leisure he has left at his favorite hobby—sculpture.

He is a veteran of the civil war and has a personal acquaintance with most of the men who have been in the public eye since the early '60s. He has many acquaintances in St. Louis. He was a guest at the dedicatory exercises of the Louisiana Purchase exposition, and has for many years been a personal friend and associate of Mr. Walter B. Stevens, formerly a Washington correspondent; and now secretary of the company in St. Louis. Maj. Carson will succeed Mr. J. Hampton Moore, of Philadelphia, who resigned recently. INDIAN WOMAN'S SERVICES TO LEWIS AND CLARK HONORED. Portland, Ore.—It was to the rare services of Sacagawea, India guide interpreter, friend and heroine, that the Lewis and Clark expedition through the Northwest territory owed its final success. And in honor of this courageous woman a heroic bronze statue stands in Columbia Court, at the fair now being held in this city, in commemoration of the one hundredth anniversary of the opening up of the northwestern country. $ Sacagawea's story of bravery, loyalty and courage, of suffering and slavery, prompted the women of Oregon to organize a statue association in order to raise a sum to perpetuate the name and romance of this Indian woman. The statue, which cost $7,000, was modeled by Miss Alice Cooper, of Denver, and is made of Oregon bronze. The figure represents a lithe Slooshone Indian woman with her head thrown back, her face full of determination and power, eyes keen and daring, one arm uplifted and pointing to the sea beyond, to which she alone, of all the party, knew the way. Sacagawea wears a short hunting skirt, fringed on the bottom, soft deerskin moccasins and leggings and a buffalo skin fastened over her shoulders, with her pappoose, born on the journey westward, strapped to her back. A beaded girdle, the same probably which she presented to Capt. Clark, marks her slender girlish waist. Her whole figure expresses life, buoyancy, animation, youth and confidence. Young though she was, this rare Indian heroine had had a none too happy existence. She was one of the three wives of a French Canadian voyeur, Toussaint Charbonneau, who acted as ```markdown ``` STATUTE OF SACAGAWEA. (Indian Woman Who Gulded Lewis and Clark Exploring Expedition.) interpreter for the band of explorers. Though she belonged to the Shoshone tribe, she had been captured by their enemies, the Blackfeet, and sold by them to Charbonneau. When the exploring party were leaving Mandan it was decided to dispense with the services of the French interpreter, and he would have been left behind if it had not been for Sacagawea, who knew the roads and country better than any one else. The Indian woman won the confidence and respect of both the leaders of the expedition, and she stood so well in their opinion that she was allowed, nay entreated, to ride in advance of the rest of the party. She became the close friend of both Capt. Clark and Capt. Lewis, both of whom admired her strength and nobility and her splendid forbearance, for Charbonneau was not always kind to his spouse. Sacagawea performed all sorts of drudgery, after the manner of her kind, and the journey up the swift Missouri was one of hardship and toll. Once the canoe in which she, her husband and the babe rode upset in midstream. Charbonneau saved himself and left his wife to rescue the babe, which she did. after securing some important papers stowed away in the canoe. When Lewis and Clark retraced their steps from the Pacific coast Sacagawea was included in the party, for even then the explorers did not feel confident of finding their way through forests and wilds. But for the Indian woman Capt. Clark might never have emerged from Ross' Hole, in which he and his band found themselves. And again later Sacagawea was called upon to lead the mover the Bozeman Pass into the Yellowstone. She knew every rock and tree of this unexplored country. Its hills and streams had been familiar to her since early childhood, when she had been brought over the same route by her father and his Indian braves. When the party intrusted to the guidance of Sacagaewa reached the land of the Blackfeet Charbonneau decided to remain there with his wives, so Sacagaewa bade her companions good-by, never to behold them again. History tells how she took up the duties of an Indian slave wife again, and in a few years grew old and ill, having been forgotten by the little world of men who owed so much to her. The only honor bestowed upon her during the journey was the naming of a river for her, but Sacagaewa was soon changed to a shorter and less musical word. The only recognition since that time, except a poem or two, is the bronze statue which is said to be the first ever erected to an Indian woman. After the close of the fair the statue will be placed in a conspicuous spot in one of Portland's beautiful parks. IF YOU WANT A To Board ADVERTISE THE WASHINGTON BEE HOLME'S Hotel 333 Va. Ave., S. W.

The editor of a local contemporary stated either locally or editorially a few weeks ago—you can't tell which are locals or editorials—that The Record and "The Great Bee" gave him cold comfort when he asked for information and advice. That he is convinced that the colored people will support a "clean paper." It is strange that this individual didn't remain in North Carolina and continue the publication of his paper, if he received the support that he claimed. Why did he suspend his paper and come to this city and begin the publication of an entirely new paper, if he was receiving such liberal support from the colored people in his State? The Bee has for twenty-five years read the declarations of shams, prophets and newspaper moralists who have started newspapers in this city. The Bee is more than glad to know that the editor of this new baby is thoroughly convinced that he is receiving the support of the colored people. He is getting more than the late Frederick Douglass got with his National Era, and with thousand of dollars behind him. It is not necessary for The Bee to go so far back. Take a more recent publication, the Colored American, with Tuskegee supporting it, backed up by all the representative negroes in the United States. The Bee ventures the assertion that no paper in the United States published by colored men was more enthusiastically supported. There is not a negro of any prominence that didn't contribute financially and otherwise to the Colored American. Even the bootblacks, hucksters and women and people could be seen in the Colored American, and The Bee has Mr. Cooper's word that the negroes failed to support it. The colored people have not, as yet, arrived at that point where they believe that it is their duty to support their own papers. Were it not for the great organization, The True Reformers, the organ of that order would die. And no doubt the manager of the paper says that not all of the members even subscribe for it. The St. Luke's Herald, with a membership of two hundred thousand, can't boast of two thousand subscribers. These are papers published in the interest of and for the order, and are not supported properly. There are no two organizations in the United States that are doing any more good among the people and receive less support for their papers. This newly-born baby that has not cut its "milk teeth" as yet, will wake up very much surprised one of these bright summer mornings, and will say to himself, "I did not know that I was such a fool." THREE ADDRESSES The addresses of Commissioners West, Macfarland and Mr. Booker Washington, delivered before the joint graduating exercises of the Normal School No.2, the M Street High School and the Armstrong Manual Training School Friday evening, June 16th, were very suggestive, Mr. Macfarland always says good things about the people and he generally means what he says. His address is full of good and wholesome thoughts which are no doubt helpful to the pupil. Mr. West never fails to practice what he preaches. He is forever ready to help the young colored graduate. He has helped them and he will continue to help them. Mr. Washington made a talk that seemed to please his hearers. Now if he will "stand pat" the people will have some confidence in him. His speeches are always tied with a mile tape. They are doubtful in their tenor. He may say one thing to-day and another thing to-morrow. THE BEE has but little faith in anything Prof. Washington says. He has done the race an irreparable wrong and those who were responsible for his appearance in this city will some day regret that the negro children of America were addressed by an apologist. There is only one good thing he said in his address, and that was the reference to young Roscoe Conkling Bruce. He is a worthy example to be followed. He is a brilliant young man. Of course young Bruce has made a few mistakes, but THE BEE excuses him because his teacher and associates are apologists. As he grows older, young Bruce will be able to steer his own ship of State. THE BEE congratulates the Commissioners for their timely advice to the pupils of the three schools. The audience was greatly pleased with Commissioner West for taking issue with Professor Washington as to the relative chances that twelve white boys and twelve colored boys would have in obtaining employment in certain lines. Prof. Washington believed that the twelve colored boys would have no chance in competition with twelve white boys. POSTMASTER MERRITT. POSTMASTER MERRITT. THE BEE cannot say too much for Postmaster Merritt, because he is the only city postmater who has recognized a man for his ability and not his color. He has embraced every opportunity to great the colored employees of his office as other men have been treated. There is, however, without the knowledge of Postmaster Merritt, a disposition on the part of a Southern Democrat in his office, or rather the mailing division of his office, to give colored employees some trouble. An investigation will disclose the prejudice on the part of certain white men to misrepresent colored employees in the office to the postmaster. Postmaster Merritt is so free from prejudice himself and having the most implicit faith in his chiefs that he cannot believe that they would resort to unprofessional methods to have a man discharged on account of his color. It was declared by a white man employed in the City Post Office, a few weeks ago, that one "nigger has been dismissed and another one will go now." Another remark was made to a high salaried colored clerk a few days ago, that it was only a question of time before his pay would be cut down. The negro is getting too much pay. The removal of some of these negro hating individuals who will resort to such low methods to have a man discharged, will no doubt demand an immediate investigation by Mr. Merritt. The colored man has too much to contend with now. Certainly after he has passed the Civil Service examination he should be allowed to retain his position without being misrepresented to his superior officers. The people of this city and indeed the entire country and especially the State of New York, where the black man respects Mr. Merritt, have too much confidence in him to believe that he will allow injustice to be done his colored employees by misrepresentation. PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES Presidential candidates are looming up. Senator Foraker, Vice-President Fairbanks and Secretary Taft are prominently mentioned by the politicians. The question now is, which one of he three, if any one, will be acceptable to the colored voters of the country? Which of the three has been and is sound on the question of human rights? Senator Foraker has spoken out in open meet- ing. The other two have been successfully silent. The time is now ripe for the colored voter to be discreet and decide for himself. That the colored voter has been used long enough for party advancement, with no hope of reward should soon be seen. Forced leadership has played a conspicuous part within the last few years. The colored voter has not been consulted and will not be unless he gives all to understand that he is capable of selecting his own leader. Mr. Foraker has been manly. He has demonstrated by acts and deeds that he is the colored man's friend. Has he shown enough? If not, what more must he do to prove his loyalty to his party and those who have been unconstitutionally disfranchised? Senator Fairbanks a few months ago went South and allowed himself to be entertained by a lily white element to the exclusion of those faithful allies of the party without saying a word in their behalf. Must the colored voter continue to play the coward and be the "hewer of wood and drawer of water?" Candidates of all classes and parties are famous for making promises. The colored voter now wants deeds and acts and no more promises. Let the colored voter begin to think and act accordingly. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. The committee appointed to investigate the affairs at Howard University held a meeting Monday afternoon and decided not to begin the investigation until next September when school commences. This is an unfortunate determination, and probably means the continuance of present conditions for another year. It is designed to weary out by unreasonable and unnecessary delay the opposition to the present order of things. Dr. Hamlin is quoted as having said that colored people are impetuous and impulsive, and do not persist in a purpose for more than two months. The postponement of the investigation to September was evidently based on some such consideration as this. If this is the correct view of the matter, the alumni of the university in all parts of the country should begin to organize now for the fall campaign. Delay, rather than putting a stop to the agitation for a change, should give new force and impetus to it. We fear that some of our friends are making a mistake in beginning the discussion of a successor to the present head of the university. No good can come of such discussion at this time. It will result in harm, and will divide the forces now working for a change to better things and larger usefulness for the university. Let present obstructions to progress be removed; then, but not till then, let the question of a head for Howard be considered. Meantime the duty of the hour is to keep up the good work already begun. MR. FORTUNE. The editor of the New York Age, Mr. Timothy Thomas Fortune, has a profound contempt for department clerks, and thinks it very ridiculous that Mr. L. M. Hershaw should have been invited to deliver the commencement address at his alma mater this year. And to give point to an otherwise witless observation resorted to the falshood of stating that Mr. Hershaw's subject was "How to succeed." For our part we can see no reason why department clerks may not be men of learning, character and public spirit. For Mr. Fortune's information we recall that Alexander Pushkin, Russia's greatest poet, was a department clerk, and that Walt Whitman, whose poetry is admired by men of culture, was at one time a department clerk here in Washington. There may not be as much money in a departmental clerkship as in the editorship of a subsidized weekly newspaper, but there is a great deal more respectability. The next time Mr. Fortune comes to Washington we expect the department clerks to meet him at the station with a carriage, flowers and a brass band. Meantime we should advise him to improve his style of humor by earnest study of "Joe Howard's Joke Book." A NOTABLE ADDRESS. Those who heard the Memorial Day address of Senator Foraker, of Ohio, at Arlington on May 30 last, should consider themselves fortunate in being there. This careful student and finished orator and statesman divided his speech into five parts, and painted in language so simple and words so plain a fine picture of the thought that he wanted to convey to his audience; even the most ordinary mind of his hearers should have had no difficulty in understanding what he meant. The elimination of details and the grouping in a grand tableau of the facts that are of such moment to us today, were done in a masterly manner, and the effect produced was a literary effort which furnishel instructive and healthful reading for the appreciative mind. His tribute to the colored soldier should awaken a feeling of gratitude in the heart of every member of the race and all who live in this time should seek to learn what our posterity should be taught to know: Extracts of his speech will be seen in another column. A DAILY PAPER. The growing need of a daily journal in this city is apparent. THE BEE means a daily published in the interest of the colored people. The great question is, will the ninety thousand colored people in this city support a negro daily? Is there race pride enough among the colored people to support a first-class daily? THE BEE is open to conviction and those who favor a first-class negro daily will please send in their views to the following questions: 1st. Is a negro daily needed in this city? Let THE BEE have the views of the people at once. APPLY THE REMEDY. It is a great pity that things are in such a demoralized condition at the M Street High School. The Board of Education ought to go to the root of the evil, and bring order out of chaos. The principal trouble is insubordination. If the board will deal positively, yet justly, with the recalcitrants, great good will result. The community is entitled to the best service the school can render, and there can be no effective service where there is no submission to a central authority. In reorganizing the school system Congress purposely gave us a small board with long terms of office and compensation, that the community might have high minded, unselfish service. The board has the power. Let it apply the remedy. GRAFTERS. It should be the policy of all governments to indict and convict, if possible, all grafters, or men who belong to that "gang of get-rich-quick." President Roosevelt is one among the few Presidents of the United States who is determined to have a clean and honest administration. Grafters are not only found in the government, but you very often find them in corporations and private banking institutions. Grafters in the government are not only inimical to the government, but when they steal from the government they steal from themselves. A man who steals from himself is a common thief, and no punishment is too severe for him. ATTORNEY SHILLINGTON DEAD. Mr. Joseph Shillington, one of the best known lawyers in this city died at his residence Tuesday morning. Mr. Shillington was a man of integrity and honesty. As a prosecutor in the office of the United States Attorney, he was one man who never attempted to convict a defendant by a tricked or perjured testimony. He would always present his cases as he found them, which made him popular among all who knew him. In the death of this distinguished young man the bar loses one of its brightest and one of its most able members. SAME OLD SPEECH. The address which Mr. Booker T. Washington delivered at the joint commencements of the High Schools and the Normal School Friday night at Convention Hall is the same speech which he delivered the previous Monday at Wilberforce University. In our opinion this is rather shabby treatment for the people of the National Capital. If Rev. A. C. Garner had delivered the address, our people would have listened to an effort that had not previously been delivered elsewhere the same week. Mr. Washington's Wilberforce speech was published in the Dayton (O.) Journal of June 13th. Those who attended the commencement here may verify what we say by consulting the Dayton Journal of that date. A NEW CONSUL Mr. H. R. R Wright, attorney-at-law, from Des, Moines, has been appointed United States Consul at Utilla, Honduras. Mr. Wright, it is claimed, is one of the brightest colored politicians in Iowa, and a fine lawyer. His wife will accompany him. He is at present a guest of Mrs L. O. Carroll, at the Philadelphia House. NEGRO SOLE APPLICANT. Examinations in Five Languages. Eco- Of all the bright men who live at the head of the Lakes, only one turned up at the Federal Building yesterday to take the examination for the position of tariff expert in the bureau of statistics in the Department of Commerce and Labor. This applicant, moreover, was a colored man, George Kelly, living at 855 East Second street. He spent yesterday in taking the tests given him, and will conclude the ordeal to-day. When it is considered what he requirements are, it is not surprising that few young men care to take the examination. The only simple thing demanded is a knowledge of arithmetic, the other requisites involving special study. It is necessary to know the conversion of currency, economics of commerce, historical and practical, commercial and tariff policies of the leading foreign countries; modern languages, translation into English, eGramand and French (required); Scandinavian, Italian, Portuguese, Russian (any two). Liverpool, Eng, June 3, 1905. Editor THE BEE: You will, I trust, pardon me for troubling you with my opinion, which may not interest you, but as ridicule has been made of the colored profession, in his name of criticism I think it only right that those who think differently should also express their views. the coolred performers that have made good money and stood the test, and who are still continuing to do so, should not be menaced by a so-called critic to satisfy his own desire through clowning artist, to gain a little press notoriety. This antiphrasis (use of words in a sense opposite to their proper meaning). I have read his comments and doggerel to the disgust of the learned public and the cry is down with his Anthropomorphism. This base falsifier who is trying to attract public attention and gain notoriety at the expense of the world's greatest negro artists who have brought the standard of amusements in the colored theatrical field from the gutter minstrel to legitimate negro comedy, namely, Sam Lucas, Billy Kersands, Chas, and Benn Hunn, Bob Kelly, Tom Meltho-sh, Jesse Slipp, Ernest Hogan, William and Walker, Cole and original Billy Johnson, Mallory Bros., and Bill McClain, who has the credit of promoting more negroes and exploiting more successes than any negro living and still doing the same thing in England for white people where I understand that his work is appreciated to the highest by both press and public. Epps W. Sargent (Chicot), a so-called critic, fared the death of a rodent; so will this incipient parasite cut a gash in his own throat if he doesn't change his views. I will add that this self-same would-be anonymous critic has tried every way, shape, form and fashion to enter the profession. He has been as big a failure as Russia has with Japan. He has taken this method to get what he terms his own back at the expense of the people that are worthy of their hire. He wrote to every colored show in the world trying to secure a position, but his pussy cat ways have been a barrier to his ambition. Yours for success. CHANGES. From the Fourth Estate, N.Y. Ozark, Mo—W. W., Kinloch has sold the Republican to F. R. Angwir. West Seneca, N.Y.-Selwyr Joice, new owner of the Lackawanna News, has resumed publication of the paper, which has been suspended for three weeks. Abbeville, S. C., June 17, 1905. Hon. W. C. Chase, Allow me to congratulate you upon the twenty-fifth anniversary of the founding the THE WASHINGTON BEE. Ferguson-Williams College, Abbeville, South Carolina. The Washington Bee's TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY. SILVERANNIVERSARY. The Washington Bee has just celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary, and the Editor, Mr. W. Calvin Chase, Sr., was the recipient of a very handsome silver water service presented by the citizens of the District of Columbia, a diamond ring from the Personal Liberty League and a gold pen. A banquet was served in the Odd Fellow's Hall and many eloquent speeches were made. The Southern Reporter sends congratulations and expresses the hope that this able and plucky Editor may see twenty-five years more of service with the quill.—The Southern Reporter. Washington, June 20th.—The banquet tendered Col. W. Calvin Chase, editor Washington Bee, at Odd Fellow's hall last Monday night, by his friends and admirers here, was a note worthy event. Col. Chase is a veteran editor and this testimonial marked the twenty fifth anniversary of the Washington Bee. Col. Chase is an unique and interesting character. In recent years he has adopted as a style of headgear a broad-brimmed white felt hat, that gives him the aggressive look and fiery deneanor that stamps itself both in his editorial column and upon his physiognomy. Chase is an ardent friend and an unrelenting foe. He knows no middle ground; and while his impetuosity has gained him many enemies, it has also been the means of winning hundreds of friends and admirers. One does not need a searchwarrant to find Col. Chase. He fights in the open, and even in defeat he never "throws up the sponge." The Washington Bee is one of the fixed institutions of the national capital and bids fair to celebrate another twenty years' anniversary.—The Florida Sentinel. The editor of the Boston Guardian takes the opportunity given by being the recipient of an invitation to attend a banquet and testimonial to W. Calyin Chase, Esq., of the Washington Bee, on the occasion of his twenty-fifth anniversary, tendered him Monday evening by a large number of representative citizens of the District of Columbia, to publish an eulogy of that gentleman. Whatever differences of opinion there may have been between the editor of the Bee and ourselves, we are constrained to compliment him upon the very flattering honor which his fellow citizens have conferred upon him—The Wisconsin Advocate. The Washington Bee was twenty five years old last week and the friends and admirers of Editor W. Calvin Chase tendered him a fine banquet in celebration of the quarter centennial anniversary of his "gingery" paper.—The Freeman. The Washington Bee, an ably edited race journal, has passed its twenty-fifth milestone of usefulness. The event was fittingly celebrated last week by representative citizens and friends and the editor, Mr. W. Calvin Chase, Sr., was presented costly tokens in appreciation of his long efficient service. Many able and brilliant speeches were delivered by prominent men.—Southwestern Christian Advocate. Editor Chase of the Washington Bee celebrated the 25th anniversary of his paper last week. A large crowd was present and Editor Chase was presented with a handsome silver water set and a fine diam.ond ring.—TexGuide. Mr. W. Calvin Chase, of the Washington Bee has our congratulations upon his rounding out of a quarter century as editor of the paper with which his name is inseparably connected. To edit and publish for twenty-five years a paper for our people is no mean accomplishment and Mr. Chase is richly entitled to all the kind things which are being said of him now. The Bee stands for progress and development, for the rights and privileges of an oppressed race, and may Calvin Chase be spared many years yet to guide its destiny.—The Lancet. The deserving glorius testimonial given our good friend' W. Calvin Chase, of the Washington (D.C.) Bee, last Monday evening for his 25 years' continued newspaper service in the interests of the race was well merited. In size, Mr. Chase is the largest living American Negro journalist. And he is equally as large in soul. We know W. Calvin Chase to be a journalist of great worth, a brilliant lawyer, an eloquent orator, a fearless and self-sacrifice leader and champion, and one of the truest and most patriotic friends that man ever had.—The Buxton Eagle. The Washington Bee, published in the interest of negroes, celebrated its twen-y-fifth anniversary last week. W. Calvin Chase, the editor, was dined by some of his friends.—The Fourth Estate, New York. The celebration, June 5th, in honor of the Bee's 22th anniversary, seems to have been one of merit. Much that has helped make the Bee has been its fearless editorial enunciations, and its stout advocacy of the principles and tenets of the race's needs. Among those present were some of the brain-of the race. The presentation by the guests, of a handsome water set and diamond ring, show in what esteem Mr. Chase is held by his fellow editors. May the Bee continue to live its life of usefulness and whenever duty calls it in the future, as it has in the past, cease not to enlighten with its trench-ent pen the many dark paths through which the race is yet to pass.—The Dallas Express. --- We congratulate EditorChase of the Washington Bee on his fine reception of its quarrel-Centennial Anniversary and the many valuable gifts which whetted his brow. The gods have helped him and our best wishes are ever his for continued success. We admire him for his courage as well as for his ability—The National Post. The Ex-Recorder H. P. Cheatham, of North Carolina, was in the city last week. Miss Josephine Wormley will take a special course in music in New York this summer. Misses M. E. Clarke, Bessie Miller and mother spent a short time in Baltimore last week. Mrs. Ridgely, of Annapolis, will entertain her daughters, and grandchildren at her beautiful home. Misses Simpson and Shippen have gone to Germany for the purpose of self-improvement. These two ladies will be away all summer. Misses Grace Johnson and Josephine Peterson will enter the training school for nurses at Providence Hospital; Chicago. We are pleased to hear of the successful ending of the two years' course of many of the Normal School pupils, especially that of Misses Sallie Johnson and Anna Jackson. Attorney James M. Riggs, who has been confidant to his home and bed for several weeks past, was able to appear in court Wednesday morning, to the gratification of his friends. Durham, N. C. Dr. J. E. Sheppard passed through the city Tuesday morning with a delegation of representative male and female educators from the South. Their destination is Niagara Falls. Mr. and Mrs. Alonzo Mitchell, of 1627 Fourth street, N. W., returned Richmond, Va., on Wednesday last, where they went several days since to attend the funeral of Mr. Mitchell's father, Mr. Edward Mitchell, who died on the 12th instant. The deceased was well known in this city, having served many years as a clerk in the Bureau of Pensions. The lawn fete of the Colored Young Women's Christian Association proved quite a success, judging from the numbers going to and fro. The special feature was the curiosity to visit and enjoy the regions in which the Hon. Frederick Douglass spent the latter part of his life. In the published report of the annual election of the officers of the Y.P.C.E. of Zion Baptist Church which appeared in THE BEE last week, the name of Mrs. Suan Bombrey erroneously appeared as the assistant superintendent of Juniors. Mrs. Sarah E. Bundy, one of the most indefatigable workers of the Endeavor, was elected to fill that important office. The congregation of Galbraith Church is highly pleased at the return of Rev. S. S. Corrothers. The members will do all in their power in liquidating the indebtedness this year. Since Rev. Corrothers' connection with the church he has paid off one trust, largely decreased the main debt over one thousand dollars; paid off back interest and paid off all floating indebtedness. He will now begin to improve the church, inside and out. BENNING ROAD SCHOOL NUSICAL A musical was given by the pupils of the Benning Road School, of which Mr. Wythe Lewis is principal, Thursday, at two o'clock. The following program was listened to by a large and an appreciative audience: Recessional—"Come Holy Spirit." Invocation—Rev. Thos. H. Brooks. Selections by the first grade pupils. Mr. H. E. Shorter, teacher— (a) "Merning Song." (a) Merriming Song. (b) "The Froggies' Summer School." (c) "The Shoemaker." (d) "The Voices of the Woods." Selections by the third and fourth grade pupils, of which Miss Julia O. Shepperson is teacher— (a) "Cradle Song." (b) "The Sandman." The above two programs were under the direction of Prof. John T. Layton. The following program was rendered by the 5th, 6th and 7th grade pupils under the direction of the principal, Mr. Harry Wythe Lewis: L—Selections in B flat. 3—"Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep." 4—"My Old Kentucky Home." 5—"Do They Think of Me at Home?" duet and chorus. Week Five 6. "Somewhere," quartette and chorus. 7. "Way Down Upon the Suwannee River," solo and chorus. 8.—"Hallelujah Chorus." 9.—Quartet by the Music Faculty. 10.—Solo, Prof. John T. Layton. 11.—Remarks by the supervising principal, Mr. J. C. Nalle. 12.—Singing of "America," the audience rising. 13.—Recessional, "Abide with Me." Benediction by Rev. Mr. Hammond. Among those present were Mr. John C. Nalle, Prof. J. T. Layton, Mr. T. A. Johnson, Mr. J. C. Bruce, Misses Harriet Gibbs, Lola Johnson, Marie James, Rev. and Mrs. T. H. Brooks, Rev. and Mrs. Hammond, Rev. and Mrs. Myers and many others. The audience was also entertained by selections from the Benning Road Glee Club. After the musicale the visitors spent about an hour inspecting the work of the pupils which Principal Lewis had on exhibition. The principal feature of the program was the rendition of the "Hallelijah Chorus" by Handel, which is considered to be very difficult, but the pupils went through it without a hitch, responding to the beat of Mr. Lewis very promptly, which showed they had been well prepared. Miss Mary Europe was the accompanist. Y. M C A Sunday, June 18th, Prof. J. G. Rodger, Ph. D., who is seeking to establish a chair of Religious Evidences from the Scientific Viewpoint, spoke to the men. Mr. Rodger is a graduate of three American Colleges—Yale included; he has also taken four years of graduate work in Huron, Edinburgh, and Leipsic. The Professor talked on the Scientific Basis of Christianity. Many students are finding it difficult to harmonize science and religion. This has led many into atheism, agnosticism and skepticism. Prof. Rodger seeks to reason with such wherever he finds them. His talks are especially helpful to the Christian worker who is seeking to stem the above named tides. AMONG ODD FELLOWS Delegates elected to represent the subordinate lodges in the twenty-fourth annual session of the District Grand Lodge which convenes at Odd Fellows' Hall on the second Monday in September next, not heretofore published, are as follows: John F. Cook, 1185—Joseph Washington. Bloom of Youth, 1368—Creed Tucker. Star of the West, 1369—A. Hayson. Columbia, 1376—Floyd Brown. J. McC. Crummill, 1437—C. S. Hill. Simon, 1602—Isaiah Brown. Union Light, 1965—Simon Burnett. Osceola, 2033—J. B. Ruffin. The death of J. W. Muse, the infant boy of Mr. J. W. and Mrs. Emma G Muse, of 1503 S street N. W., Monday, June 12th, was one of the saddest that has occurred in this city for some time. By some means the little child, which was about fourteen months old, was playing near some boiling water which was on top of the range. It accidentally struck the vessel of hot water, that fell from the range on top of the little one and scalded it to death. The little one suffered a great deal of pain until he died in the afternoon of the date of the accident. Mr. and Mrs. Muse received hundreds of condolences from sympathetic friends and acquaintances. THE TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY. Elizabethtown, N. C., June 15, 1905. Hon. W. Calvin Chase. Editor THE WASHINGTON BEE. We are to hold the Young People's Social Christian Convention, here on Wednesday, August 2-6, 1905, to which we send greeting and cordially invite you to attend this gathering of young Christian workers. We are convinced that your presence and words would add cheer and inspiration, both as a moral and educational factor for the elevation of our race. We shall be pleased to read some words of cheer in regards to this movement to our social work.

But in order that the men of the type of Bruce (and others whom I could name) may be multiplied, you must remember that the men and women who go out from your public schools must be "doers of the Word" and not mere "talkers of the Word." (Laughter.) Hon. Henry L. West, Commissioner of the District of Columbia, in awarding the diplomas said (as Dr. W. Bruce Evans presented eight young men of his school who had been recently licensed to run steam engines in the District): I am very glad of the fact which has been stated by Dr. Washington that, in order to get along in the world it is not necessary to talk, and yet if I could talk as well as he does, I think I would want to talk all the time. Nevertheless I would have to be very dumb if I did not, when this feature of the commencement exercises arrives, feel that it is a very pleasant duty to extend an earnest word of congratulation and commendation to these young men and women who, have shown their readiness to do service in the world. If twelve white men and twelve black men go to-morrow morning to appear before the Board of Steam Engineers of the District of Columbia and they answer the questions which are put to them to show their capability and efficiency, how many of those twelve black men and those twelve white men will receive licenses if they answer their questions correctly? Every man! (Applause.) So that, in beginning their work they are not hampered, whatever may come afterward, and yet I believe that if they show some industry and some application coupled with some earnestness, that they will get (what every man is entitled to who shows industry and application and earnestness) namely, a square deal! (Great applause.) The Star Spangled Banner was then played, amid cheering. MR. ROBERT L. WARING Mr. Robert L. Waring, a member of the Metropolitan Police Force, deserves great credit for his successful passage through the Law School of Howard University. Mr. Waring had to surmount many difficulties in going through this well known institution. During the day and many nights this young man successfully performed his official duties as a member of Major Sylvester's guardians. Mr. Waring is from one of the leading and one of the most prominent families in this city He is known as the legal and gentlemanly officer of the Eighth Precinct. He is the youngest POLICE son of the late Rev. Wm Waring, who was for a number of years a highly valued clerk in the Post-Office Department and also pastor of the Berean Baptist Church. Young Waring was born in Kalamazoo, Michigan. He taught school from 1884 to 1890. He was also a contractor of no mean ability, till 1898. He was appointed on the-Metropolitan Police Force in July, 1898, and graduated in law from Howard University Law School, after a three years' course, June 1, 1905. Mr. Waring is the first officer to graduate in law while a member of Major Slvester's guardians. Mr. Waring will shortly open a fine office and pursue the practice of his chosen profession. He is a smooth talker and an active worker. OUR HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES. More than 200' graduates of the M Street Colored High School were in attendance last Saturday evening at Odd Fellows' Hall, on M street, at the first reunion and banquet of the Alumni Association, which was organized on April 17th last. There were present graduates from nearly every class since the school was established.

A number of toasts were responded to by prominent members of the colored race. The main hall of the building where the tables were arranged in long rows was beautifully decorated. A program of music was rendered by the Columbian Orchestra, directed by Sylvester Thomas, a graduate of the M Street High School. At the speaker's table were Judge Robert H. Terrell, of the class of 1876, the first class to receive diplomas; Assistant Superintendent Dr. W. S. Montgomery, Mrs. A. J. Cooper, the principal of the M Street High School; Supervising Principal F. L. Cardozo, '89; Garnet C. Wilkinson, '98, and M. Grant Lucas, '99, the president of the association. There were also present Nelson Weatherless, John L. Love. Neval Thomas. Arthur Newman, and Misses J. E. Datcher, Mineola Kirkland and Mary Perry, of the teachers' corps in the M Street High School, as well as many of the leading teachers of the graded schools. Mrs. B. G. Francis represented the board of education. WELCOMED BY PRESIDENT LUCAS. In his address of welcome President Lucas, after congratulating the members of the class of 1905 upon their graduation and speaking of the responsibility of holding up the honor and dignity of their Alma Mater, said, in part: "I welcome you not only to the responsibility of keeping up the standard, but also to that of carrying it still higher. How can you do this? By joining us actively in carrying out the object of this association. You can do this by co-operating with us in keeping the records of our graduates after leaving the school, by uniting with us in establishing an alumni scholarship, by joining us in the attempt to purchase and place on the walls of the high school a portrait of that grand and noble woman, the first principal, Miss Mary Jane Patterson; by placing on the wall, just opposite the portrait, the picture of our late esteemed and worthy assistant principal, Miss Laura F. Barney, and by placing in the school building with which the Commissioners have seen fit to honor his memory a bust of the late Prof. F. L. Cardozo, who for so many years was principal of our high school. "Finally, I welcome you to the chief responsibility which every alumnus of the M Street High School must feel most keenly—that of making the most of himself." President B. O. Wade, of the class of 1905, responding to the welcome, said in part: "The organizers of this association are to be highly congratulated for their loyalty to and their interest in their Alma Mater in effecting this union of her sons and daughters. Union is strength, and strength in the fullest sense of the word, physically, intellectually and morally, is required by us in the struggle for existence to overcome the adverse conditions of our environment. "Our esteemed leader," Booker T. Washington, says that in working out our destiny, while our main burden and center of activity must be with the whole mass, the help, the encouragement, the guidance that the strong can give the weak will be needed in the years to come, as it has been in the past. Therefore, let us unite for strength if nothing else. This association will be a stimulant and an encouragement to those who are following us, for it is an honor, always was, and always will be an honor to say 'I am an alumnus of the M Street High School.'" TEACHERS AND PUPILS IN SYMPATHY. The first toast, "The High School in Its Early Days," was responded to by Judge R. H. Terrell, who laid particular stress as a cause for congratulation upon the fact that while the teachers at the colored high school were white in the days when he attended the school, they are "now identified with their pupils in blood, in ambition, and in sympathy." Other toasts were responded to as follows: "Our Duty as M Street High School Alumni." G. C. Wilkinson; "The M Street High School," the principal, Mrs. A. J. Cooper; "The Alumni in Educational Work," Dr. W. S. Montgomery, assistant superintendent. The evening was brought to a close with the playing of "Auld Lang Syne." S. H.

"The Wise man is a monthly periodical dealing in a sound, though not too profound, way with the various subjects of occult science that are recognized as of practical value to mankind." SPFED WAS TOO RAPID. President Roosevelt's Chauffer Violates the Auto Law. President Roosevelt was "held up" by two of Maj. Sylvester's "finest? Sunday afternoon while speeding along Conduit road in the direction of Great Falls, from where he was to begin his homeward tramp with Theodore, jr., and two school mates of the latter. The hired automobile in which he was riding was going faster than the regulations permit, but the policemen who were engaged in the long pursuit in the hot sun did not know of the identity of the occupant of the rear seat until one of them had called to the President to meet him in the Police Court Monday morning. Bicycle Sergt. Wilson Jand Bicycle Policeman Vermillion, it is stated, are the officers who figured in the episode when they saw that President Rösevelt was an occupant of the automobile they did not do as was done in the case of President Grant who was overhauled for fast driving, but giadly abandoned their effort to make a case and soon dropped out of sight. At the time the President's vehicle was paced by the two policemen the automobile was going at the rate of nineteen miles a hour. Private Vermillion was slightly ahead of the sergeant and had obtained the license number on the machine, but thought it best to get a look at the occupants of the vehicle and tell them that he had seen them. He saw them, fired and fell back. The President heard the policeman say that somebody in the vehicle was wanted in the Police Court and asked the reason therefore. He was told for speeding, his machine and it was about this time that the two officers recognized the occupant of the back seat and concluded that they had no further business with him. It is said that the President notified the chauffer to reduce his speed and not to further violate the law. He did reduce it, but the reduction was only for a short time for shortly afterwards the vehicle was paced and found to be going at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour. This time, however, the pacers recognized the distinguished guest and said nothing. Sergt. Wilson told of the incident at at police headquarters Monday, and every effort was made to keep it quiet but it leaked out and Maj. Sylvester made an effort to ascertain who did the talking. He questioned the two officers and learned from them that they had not discussed the affair. It was stated that a warrant would not be issued for the arrest of the chauffer. Because of complaints about violations of the speed law by the operators of automobiles on the Conduit road, Maj. Sylvester had a detail of me on the road Sunday and it was for this reason that the automobile in which the President was riding was "held up."—The Evening Star. Lady Grey-Egerton is about to sue for a divorce from her husband. Sir Phillip Henry Brian Grey-Egerton, according to a cable dispatch in the New York World. Lady Grey-Egerton was Miss May Cuyler, of Morristown, N.J., daughter of Maj. Wayne Cuyler, U. S. A., and great-grand-daughter of "Mad Anthony" Wayne. She spent a season or two here and was a great belle. She was married twelve years ago and has three children—a daughter and twin sons. Sir Phillip is in India, where he went more than a year ago and in her petition to court the wite alleges desertion. Last November Sir Phillip was served with an order "to show, by means of a suit, that he was justified in abandoning his wife." The baronet ignored the order, so finally Lady Grey Egerton has brought suit for divorce. —The Evening Star. TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY. The twenty-fifth anniversary of the Right Reverend Henry M. Turner, D. D.L.L.D., as bishop in the A. M.E. Church, was celebrated at a great gathering in St. Louis with imposing ceremonies, which were held at St. Paul A.M.E. Church. Delegates from churches throughout the union were present, as well as a large concourse of laymen and visitors from far and near. The exercises consisted of felicitous addresses, songs and veritable love feasts. The venerable and beloved bishop was literally overwhelmed with congratulations and well-wishes of the thousands present. He was referred to in the addresses as a great leader and one of the greatest living members of his race. Bishop Turner entered the ministry forty-seven years ago; was elected to the bishopric twenty-five years ago in a General Conference of the African Methodist Church held at St. Louis, and has faithfully discharged the duties of that high office from that time to the present. The bishop is hale and hearty and many more years of usefullness in the Lord's vineyard seem vouchsafed to him. At the Cosmopolitan Temple Baptist Church, 708 O st., N.W. Rev. Simon P. W.

FARMERS SUFFER TO LARGE EXTENT FROM PESTS. Agricultural Department Gives Resects—Cinch Bug Ravages of Insects—Chinch Bug Is Most Costly of All. Washington.—The value of the annual agricultural products of the United States is approximately $3,000,000.00. According to the yearbook of the department of agriculture damage to the minimum amount of $298,000,000 is done to these crops each year by 14 of the most important insect pests. There is scarcely an article grown on our farms that has no insect enemy, and while some of the crops are made to bear a much heavier loss than the others, practically all of them must pay tribute to some extent. The figures of the department are admittedly very conservative, and, if the damage done by all pernicious insects to animal products, stored products and forests were added, the annual drain on the farmers of the country will easily foot up to fully half a billion dollars. The cinch bug causes a greater loss than any of the other insects which prey on the better-known agricultural products. The minimum damage done by it may be safely placed at $60,000,-000, according to the department. Most of this falls on the wheat raisers of the country, as the cinch bug, while it also attacks other plants, is particularly fond of wheat, and is usually found in the wheat fields in the greatest profusion in periods of drought. In addition to this insect, wheat has a very destructive enemy in the Hessian fly, the annual damage caused by which is placed at $40,000,000. Worms attack the roots of the young corn plant, and, later, the young ears, bringing about a yearly loss of something like $40,000,000 also. The more important cereals, according to C. L. Marlatt, assistant chief of the bureau of entomology, who is the author of an interesting chapter on crop pests which will appear in the yearbook, are damaged not less than $200,000,000 every ear through the operations of bugs and worms of various kinds. Cotton, the south's great staple, loses at least $50,000,000 per year as the result of the ravages of various pests. In fact, a report issued by the census bureau a little more than a year ago was to the effect that one insect alone—the dreaded boll weevil—cost the farmers of Texas nearly $50,000,000 during the previous season, but the department of agriculture is of the opinion that this estimate is excessive, and that the total loss of all the cotton-growing states through the operations of all the insects which prey on cotton is not largely in excess of the sum named. The boll weevil is at present confined to Texas and to the adjacent portions of Louisiana, but it is steadily moving northward and eastward, and the government experts do not hesitate to say that the chances of exterminating it, or even checking it, are extremely remote. A recent official report expressed the opinion that, when the weevil shall have spread all over the cotton-growing area of the country, as it bids fair to do in 18 or 20 years, judging from its past rate of progress, it will be capable of causing an annual loss of $250,000,000, which is about half the total value of a year's crop of cotton under normal conditions. In addition to the boll weevil, cotton is attacked by many other insects, including the boll worm and the leaf worm. RICH BOY LIVES AS HOBO. Leaves His Home on Account of His Dislike of School and Leads Tramp Life. Asheville, N. C.—After wandering from place to place for more than a week, causing his parents and friends the gravest apprehension, all because he was tired of school and wanted "to get out and roam" awhile, Siegfried Roebling, 14 years old, son of John A. Roebling and grandson of Col. Washington Roebling, of Brooklyn bridge fame, was brought back to his home from Knoxville, Tenn., where he was found in a bowling alley by Judge T. A. Jones and Holmes T. A jubilee and Fred Holmes, of this city, Slegfried expressed much sorrow that he had given his parents so much worry and said that for their sake he would come back. When his money gave out he took a position at Knoxville as a page and was earning two dollars a week. He had pawned his watch for a few dollars and said that he preferred his job in preference to school. Slegfried left Asheville with two dollars in his pocket. He set out on foot, he says, for Knoxville, 150 miles distant. He slept in a church the first night at Alexander and the next night found shelter in the courthouse at Marshall. He spent nights at other places in schoolhouses, freight cars, etc., and lived upon a loaf and a half of bread daily. When he became tired walking he made his way to Knoxville by means of riding in empty box cars. His clothes were much worn and he had lost ten pounds. The boy had been reared in the greatest luxury. "I do not think it fair to ask the Asheville school authorities to take Slegfried," said Slegfried's father, "and, moreover, I shall not insist on his going back to school, against which he has taken a most violent dislike."

Norfolk, Neb.-The magic power of silver's glitter, cleverly employed by Indian Commissioner Leupp, of the United States government, has smoothed over trouble on the Rosebud reservation which might have resulted in bloodshed and in diplomatic battles over the settlement of the purchase from the redmen of the 416,000 acres of Rosebud land given away by Uncle Sam in the land lottery of last summer. Chief Hollow Horn Bear, who rules the Rosebud Sioux, became provoked with the government after three tribes to Washington in regard to the first payment to the Indians for their lands. On the final visit Commissioner Leupp, in the interior building, recognized the Sioux chief. He held forth his hand but Hollow Horn Bear stoically grunted and wrapped his hands in his blanket. He returned to Rosebud, called a council of his tribe, and said to them: "We will take no money from the United States. Instead we will demand our land back; and the first Indian who takes a dollar from the government I shall kill." This word reached Washington, and Commissioner Leupp immediately went to Rosebud, made the Indians a speech, and closed with his offer of their first payment, $25 each. To Hollow Horn Bear he first made this offer. He piled 25 brand new glittering silver dollars in one stack before the eyes of the big Sloux brave. Hollow Horn Bear looked long at the stack of silver; then reached for the pile. He walked out of the building, remained half an hour, and at the end of that time, having fingered his bright new dollars to his heart's content, walked over to Commissioner Leupp and warmly shook the federal official's hand. ODD FAMILY RELATIONS END Death of Lewis J. Phillips in New York Discloses Queer Situation Which Is Dissolved. New York.—Lewis J. Phillips, senior member of the real estate firm of L. J. Phillips & Co., and a member of the chamber of commerce, is dead at his home, 15 East Eightleth street, of heart disease. Mr. Phillips was 74 years old. In 1831 he came to this city from London, where he was born. To immediate friends alone was known for several years after 1888, a peculiar relationship existing within the Phillips family. Isaac Phillips was the junior member of the firm. When he died he left a widow and eight children. It was not publicly known until 1897 that L. J. Phillips had contracted a civil marriage with the widow of his brother. The children opposed the union, and resented any allusion to the civil contract, which never was followed by a marriage rite. Under the religion professed by both persons a civil ceremony is not recognized as a marriage rite. In Ocean avenue, Ashbury Park, in 1897, the entire family lived under one roof, a condition which existed to the day of Mr. Phillips' death. His brother's widow survives him. At the family residence Mrs. Phillips could not be seen. Members of the family did not wish to talk about the civil marriage contracted so many years ago. During all the years since a justice of the peace read the marriage service for Mr. and Mrs. Phillips the couple had lived apart. The children have always regarded each other as cousins, and to Mrs. Phillips Mr. Phillips was always a brother-in-law instead of a husband. Only in the transfer of property and the signing of legal documents was the true relationship observed. London.—A curious discovery which is creating considerable speculation chiefly among those who are interested in polar exploration, has been made in the den of the polar bears now performing at the London hippodrome. The other day an attempt was made to take a photograph of these performing bears, some of which were captured in the wild state, the others being bred by the owner of the troupe, but they were too restless, and therefore another attempt was made the next day. A strong charge of powder was used for the flashlight, and immediately after the flash every bear was discovered lying prone on the side as if dead, but in reality they were only terrified and nearly out of their senses. It was a long time before they recovered from the excitement. Next morning in cleaning out the den an attendant found on the floor a fine gold ring, such as sailors used to wear in their ears. Inscribed inside were the initials "I. D. F. N." with the dates 1835, and the supposition is that the ring had been carried between the teeth or the claws of one of the bears until the episode of unusual excitement thus brought it to light. Stand-Patter's English Brother. Phrases are more influential in British politics than in American, says the Youth's Companion. The latest to come into general use is "half-sheeter." It describes those who accept the prime minister's fiscal policy, which he said was so simple that he could write it on a half-sheet of note-paper. This phrase has not been in use long, but it is likely to appear frequently in the London dispatches for the next few months. Berlin.—Chancellor von Buelow has been created a prince by Emperor William. Count Bernhard Henry Martin Charles von Buelow, German imperial chancellor, president of the council of ministers, minister of state and minister of foreign affairs since 1900, has had a wonderful career and held well to the temper of his royal master. He has now reached the eminence attained by Bismarck. Von Buelow was born in Holstein in 1849. He was the eldest son of that J. PRINCE VON BUELOW. *(German Chancellor Given High Honor by Kalser) Von Buelow who was the Prussian minister of state and secretary of state for foreign affairs of the German empire. Educated in the best schools of Germany, Von Buelow when of agg married Princess Maria Maporelle, widow of Count Denhaff, who brought him much social prestige. He has been a soldier in his time, entering the Prussian regiment of the Royal Hussars for the campaign of 1870 and serving in the regiment as a lieutenant until 1872. From 1872 to 1873 he was attached to the staff of the president of the district of Metz, and in the latter year entered the diplomatic service. The foreign office in Berlin knew him until 1874, and he became secretary of the legation at Rome in 1875. A year later he was at Vienna and at St. Petersburg. He was charge d'affaires at Athens in 1877 and secretary of the Berlin congress of 1878, ending the Turko-Russian war. His advancement from that time on was rapid. He was with the embassy at Paris for some time, went to Bucharest and again to Rome, and then was minister of state and secretary of foreign affairs from 1897 to 1900. In diplomatic circles Von Buelow is regarded as a German of the Germans, somewhat narrow in his opinions on the affairs of the world outside of Germany, but a stanch imperialist and advocate of the necessity of Germany's becoming the foremost military and naval power of Europe.

The memorial is to be erected in the plaza of the statehouse here, the legislature of this state having taken this method of paying a lasting tribute to a glorious son who added imperishable luster to the fame of his state. The commission for the statue was awarded to McNeal only after a competition with 150 sculptors. The artist has finished the clay model of the nine-foot figure and it has been inspected by many persons in his studio at Ellis Point, L. I. Several well known sculptors who have viewed the model pronounce it a masterpiece, and friends of Mr. McKinley have declared the likeness to be a striking one. The memorial will cost $50,000, half of which was voted by the legislature and the balance subscribed by citizens of Columbus.

LANLORD AND TENANT. No. 3-The Tenant's Right to Remove Fittures ant, who has attached or affixed something to the real estate during the term of his tenancy, the right to detach it and take it away with him? In the first place it is an invariable rule, we believe, that where the right exists at all it cannot be exercised after the tenant's term has expired. If exercised, it must be during his term or immediately at its close. Once the tenant's estate is ended he is in the position of a stranger and cannot claim a right to enter for the purpose of removing fixtures. This, of course, aside from any agreement with the landlord permitting him to do so. The time for removal may be extended. Merely being in possession does not give the tenant the right to remove the articles. If the tenant holds over the term of his lease without the consent of his lanlord, he cannot, after his term expires, remove the articles. "During the term" means during the time when he is rightfully in possession. The main difficulty arising out of the subject is that of determining what is removable and what is not. Formerly anything substantially affixed to the real estate by the tenant could not be taken away by him, the law presuming that the tenant intended the fixture to be a permanent improvement to the property. The old law has been superseded by statutes and decisions more favorable to the tenant, as we shall see. There are seevra ltests applied by the courts in setting questions of this kind between landlords and tenants. They are as follows: First. Can the thing be removed without injury to the property? If it cannot this goes far in determining the question in favor of the landlord. Second. Was it intended by the tenant, when affixed, to be a permanent addition to the property? If it was so intended, the courts will incline to prevent its removal. Third. Was it annexed for temporary use of the business of the tenant, to make the property more convenient for his own purposes, or for temporary ornament? I fso, it may in general be taken away. Aside from any agreement between the landlord and the tenant (which, by the way, should be had if possible, and this may be written or verbal), the foregoing tests will usually settle the matter. As to what a permanent annexing as intended in the second test, aside from the matter of the intention of the tenant, it has been said that the mere fact that a thing is nailed, or bolted, or screwed to the floor, walls or ceiling, does not of itself make the addition permanent. The intention to make a permanent or temporary improvement must often depend upon and be inferred from the nature of the article, the mode of annexing, and the purpose or use of the article. An important variation in the general rule is this: Where the premises are leased for a particular, purpose known to the lanlord, it is presumed that the landlord assents to the tenant putting in any fixtures which are needed to make the premises suitable for the purpose and removing them on his going out; but where the premises are used for a purpose other than that for which they were rented,or for a purpose not known to the landlord, such presumption does not exist. The rule applies not only to shelving, counters, gas fixtures, etc, but also to engines, boilers, machinery, and even frame buildings. Again, nurserymen and florists may remove their hothouses, trees, plants, because these are a part of their stock in trade, and presumably the landlord so understood when he rented, while, on the other hand, a tenant generally cannot remove trees, bushes, flowers, greenhouses, etc., though put in by him. In general, where the article or articles annexed are personal in their nature and are merely accessory to the business, and have been put in for that purpose, and not as accessories to the real estate, they belong to and may be removed by the tenant. Hence the stone piers of a railroad bridge were held in an Ohio case to be the property of the railroad company and removable as against the owners of the land. A tenant has been allowed to take away kettles fixed in mortar, steam engines, millls and even buildings constructed for the particular purpose of his business. But where the articles annexed were not peculiarly for the benefit of the present business, but were for any business that might be carried on in the building, they will be taken as belonging to the realty, as slate in roof, doors, gas pipes, iron sink, etc. Householders may remove gas fixtures, grates, shelving, etc., unless so affixed as that when removed they materially damage the property. In conclusion, it may be said that if the articles in question are annexed for the special purpose of immediate profit, and make no necessary or customary appendage to the realty, and if they can be removed without injury to the value of that which remains, they belong to the tenant, otherwise to the owner. This, of course, aside from any agreement between the parties. In our next installment we shall study the tenant's obligations and that of the landlord to make repairs. (To be continued.) THE YEAR'S GREATEST GATHERING. Tll Roads Lead to Pittsburgh in August, During the Sitting of the Supreme Lodge K. of P. FACTS ABOUT THE CITY. In every Lodge K. of P., in every company of the unifor mrank, and in every Court of Calanthe under the jurisdiction of the Supreme Lodge K. of P., which stands for a total membership of nearly 60,000 persons, even at this early day, there is a furishing up of the knowledge of the written and the unwritten work of the order; a constant consultation of the tactics; and a daily inquiry, "What are you going to wear?" by those who expect to attend the sessions, and esire to make a creditable showing among the host of others who, like them, will swell the throng and assist in making it the greatest gathering of the year. In order that when they arrive in Pittsburgh they may not be altogether "strangers in a strange land," a few facts about the city may be opportune. It is one of the oldest, richest and busiest cities west of the Allegheny mountains, and it is the natural center for a community of fully 500,000 people. It stands at the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers, whose waters form the Ohio river at this point. Its manufacture of glass, cork, coke, steel and electrical supplies exceeds those of any other city in the country and gives employment to a vast army of people. In 1847 Avery College, one of the very first schools for the manual training of colored youth, was founded here by the Rev. Charles Avery. It is still in successful operation and this year graduated a class of 16. In 1852 the Republican party was born here, whose subsequent acts and history are known to all men. Allegheny county, which is virtually a Greater Pittsburg, has a negro population of more than 32,000 men, women and children. Baptist, A. M. E, A. M. E. Zion, M. E, Presbyterian, Episcopal and Catholic churches, with a following in the order named. Among their pastors are a number of able and scholarly men. The societies repersented here are Masons, Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias, True Reformers, Elks, Mystic Shrine, U. B. of F., Good Samaritans, and a host of others less familiar known. There are the usual number of clubs and social organizations. There are lawyers, doctors, dentists, trained nurses, grocers, drug-gists, gents' furnishers, hotel and restaurant keepers, tobaccoists, tailors, billiard and bowling alley proprietors, engineers, electricians machinists, printers, painters, blacksmiths, and iron and steel workers, and the usual assortment of minor vocations. They have five building and loan associations, and several halls, and conduct a cemetery. White and colored children attend the same schools. There are no colored teachers. Fully forty members of the police force are cooled men, and one company of the fire department. There are colored clerks and carriers in the post-office, and clerks of both seexs in the court house. No race distinction at the parks, in the stores and in the public places. Every man and woman is considered a lady or gentleman until they put out a sign that they are something else, when they are dealt with accordingly. The Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias, of Western Pennsylvania, which will entertain the Supreme Lodge delegates and visitors, enjoys the confidence, esteem and support of the entire community. You will find it a royal host at whatever cost to them. The climate here in August is delightful. You can see, hear, and learn much, while having the most enjoyable time of your life, from August 21st o 26th, in greasy, smoky, busy Pittsburgh. More anon. "JARTH." BONAPARTE THE MAN . Baltimore, June 12.—The Democratic leaders are enjoying the disconfiture of the Republacin politicians caused by Charles J. Bonaparte assuming the leadership of the party in Maryland. Bonaparte says he will enter the Cabinet as Secretary of the Navy July 1, some time earlier than he expected. From the tenor of his speech to the Republican State committee it is apparent that the President has requested him to look after the party's interests in this State. DISFRANCHISEMENT AMENDMENT. Mr. Roosevel is particularly interested in the fight against the amendment for disfranchising the colored voters. He realizes that Bonaparte is abl to stir up the independent anti-Gorman Democrats as he has done before and array them against the amendment. Democrats read between the lines of Bonaparte's speech the announcement of leadership. They declare that his prominence will disrupt the Republican organization and make it easy to carry the amendment. REPUBLICANS WORRIED. It is already apparent that several leading Republicans upon whom the brunt of recent campaigns has fallen are not pleased with Bonaparte's attitude. He has always been regarded by Republican organization,men as a more or less disturbing factor. Several Eastern Shore Republicans are looming up as candidates for the nomination for State Comptroller. They are State Senator Robert B. Dixon, of Talbot county; John D. Urie, of Kent, and Charles W. Hobbs, of Caroline county. The nomination will go to the Eastern Shore. MR. CORTELYOU AS AN ORATOR, bana, Ill, at the Commencement exercises of the University of Illinois. He delivered the Commencement address, an it was warmly greeted. The address was all through very high and able which marks a very impressive beginning of the Postmaster-General in the roel of orator, who begins saying things of food for thought in the outset for the American people. The Postmaster-General, among other things, said: "There should be more conservatism in our consideration of public questions, not the conservatism of inertness or indecision, but the conservatism that is open minded to suggestion and insists upon hearing both sides of a question. We need to cultivate the calmness that typifies strength of purpose, depth of thought, and soundness of judgment. We shall then substitute energy for exaggeration and sanity for sensationalism. There will be more consideration and less clamor. In this spirit we shall be better able to deal with the questions before us, justly and fearlessly. We shall encourage those policies which recognize the fact that material prosperity is but a poor and empty thing if accomplished through any sacrifices of the moral sense of the people; and we shall see back of al and over all, as the commanding necessity of our times, insistence upon obedience to law, from the highest to the humblest. CLEANER POLITICS. "If we are to have cleaner political methods, the beginning must be made in the primary and the town meeting, and the citizen must contribute his share in his own sphere, however humble it may be, if he is to be consistent when he demands high standard of those who represent him in the various grades of official life. And so it is with the citizen's relation to these other problems. Wherever he touches them, even in their smaller aspects, he must do the duty that lies at his hand. The firmer we fix these facts in our minds the healthier will be our public sentiment. The influence of a free press must not be impaired, nor must the great body of American newspapers—among them the noblest agencies of enlightenment and civilization—be judged by a few which have prostituted their high calling to ignoble uses. ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAWS. "A higher standard for our judiciary; fewer laws and better enforcement of them; a wider public appreciation of the essentials of democracy and of the principles upon which this government was founded, will help tu so the solution of the problems before us, and as the basis and foundation of our national life we must conserve those forces which insure the efficiency of our schools and safeguard the purity of our homes. "Every village and hamlet, every municipality, every commonwealth, must assume its share and make its contribution to the general welfare. "Among the greatest of the forces for progress in the struggle for a broader and juster national life will be the influence of the men and women of education." ALL OVER NOTHING. "I'm going to have my way! I'm going to have it or die!" I heard a man say As his home I passed by. And 'twas all over nothing That he thus stormed about— His wife simply made a suggestion, And he turned inside out. —Clarence Emery Allen.

Chicago.—From Chicago to New York in 18 hours is the new schedule which the management of the New York Central lines has decided upon for the famous Twentieth Century Limited train This new race against time, which will make this flyer the fastest long-distance train in the world, went into effect June 18 and was made upon the insistent demand of Wall street and La Salle street interests. Wall street firms want two extra hours for business in Chicago so that they may put in a full day's work and return to New York on the same day that they came. On the other hand, the stock exchange and board of trade interests were anxious to have a full working day here before taking the train to transact business in New Yohk city the following day. West-bound the schedule is satisfactory, as business men may remain in New York until 2:45 in the afternoon and can arrive in Chicago at 8:45 the next morning, in ample time to begin the day here. The Twentieth Century Limited until recently left Chicago at 12:30 in the afternoon and the banking firms and brokers declare this cut them off with a short day in Chicago. Under the new schedule the flyer will leaves Chicago at 1:30 p. m., arriving in New York at 7:30 the next morning With the new schedule now in effect business men in both cities are able to leave their own cities shortly after noon, spend a full working day in the other city the next day, and reach their own city again the second morning. Since the Twentieth Century Limited went into commission the custom has grown rapidly among business men of traveling between the two cities and transacting business in person, rather than by letter, wire or 'phone. An 18-hour schedule means many remarkable things. The roadbed and track, the equipment and power must be in perfect condition and the best that can be provided. Discipline among the thousands of employees who handle and take part in operating the train over the Lake Shore and the New York Central roads must be perfect in every detail and exact to the instant. It means that all traffic, both freight and passenger, must be side-tracked fully 30 minutes ahead of the flyer so that no mistakes may occur. It also means that when delays occur a speed of fully 90 or 100 miles an hour, possibly more, must be maintained for considerable portions of time. ENDS LIFE ON WEDDING EVE Glencoe, Minn.—John Dammon, a farmer living eight miles south of Glencoe, who was to have been married recently, committed suicide during the night, his body being found hanging in the barn in the morning. He was to have been married to Dora Walters, a neighbor's daughter, whom he had known from childhood. They were born within two weeks of each other and had been playmates all their lives. Arrangements had been made for one of the biggest weddings ever held in this community. All of the neighbors had been invited, a brass band engaged, and the cooking for a great feast completed. The bride-to-be remalned at the Dammon home all night, and, after wishing her sweet dreams, Dammon retired to his room. A hired man slept in the same room, but did not hear Dammon get up. When the farm hands went to the barn the next morning they found Dammon, fully dressed, hanging by a halter strap, Miss Walters was prostrated. GAY YOUTH OF 98 IS WED. Bride, a Winsome Schoolma'am of Thirty-Five Summers, Marries Aged Man. Prescott, Mich.-The latest matrimonial event of interest to occur here is the marriage of George Clinton, of Logan township, to Miss Maud J. Love. The feature of the affair is that the wedding occurred on the ninety-eighth anniversary of the groom, while the bride is a winsome schoolma'am of only 35 summers, who has saved the bulk of her salary for teaching school the past 16 years. This was the groom's second marriage and the bride will come into possession of six buxom daughters, all of whom are grandmothers, which will give her the distinction of being the youngest great-grandmother in existence. Cupid seems to be looking after the interests of the pioneer residents in this vicinity, this being the twentieth wedding in which an aged groom and a youthful bride have figured." Found His War Ganteen. Found His War Canteen. James V. Clark, of Cape May, N. J., was one of the members of the Ninth New Jersey volunteers who was present on May 18 at Newbern, N. C., when the governors of North Carolina and New Jersey met on the occasion of the return of confederate colors captured during the war and the dedication of the regiment's monument. While wandering over the battlefield he found the identical canteen which he had carried into battle and lost 43 years ago, and has since been showing it to friends here. GIVES COUNT HER FORTUNE Eccentric American Who Died in Florence May Have Been Poisoned —Inquiry Not Ended. Rome.—Miss Mary Newby. an American, died somewhat suddenly at the Pension Luchesi, in Florence. she was about 42 years of age, eccentric in her habits and a familiar figure in the city. The United States consul caused seals to be affixed to the doors of her apartments and the local authorities, suspecting poison, ordered an autopsy. So far nobody seems incriminated, but the inquiry has not ended. On her dressing table was found a rough document in pencil bequeathed substantial sums to each of the servants attached to the pension. All her linen and silver was left to the laundrymaid, and another servant received her planoforte. Several Florentine coachmen also come in for windfalls. This part of the document seems to be in other than Miss Newby's handwriting, but at the end is an autograph sentence wherein she constitutes his royal highness, the count of Turin, heir to her patrimony, said to amount to $750,000. Miss Newby's consuming desire was to get an introduction to the count with whom she was deeply enamored, and as she was ever ready to lavish wealth on those who seemed able to aid her in the matter, she was extensively imposed upon by smart tricksters. Florentine society doubts if the aforesaid document can be accounted as a valid testament. STRUCK BY TRAIN OFTEN. Dumb Hermit Fears Railroad Employees Rather Than the Cars Which He Encounters. Wilkesbarre. Pa.—Although he has been struck by a train three times and has had a dozen narrow escapes from death on the railroad. "Dummy" Albertson, a deaf and dumb hermit living along the line of the Bloomsburg & Sullivan railroad, continues to make the railroaders nervous by walking the tracks, insensible to whistle or bell, and keeping them on the constant lookout to avoid killing him. He seems more afraid of the railroaders than of the trains, and recently, when he had a narrow escape from injury, he dashed away at full speed to the woods to escape rough treatment from the railroaders. : He was struck the first time by a passenger engine and huped into a pile of bushes, but was neither much flustered nor hurt. On another occasion he was struck by a train and left on the pilot of the engine a large piece of his trousers, which he did not return to claim. The third time he was knocked down by the cylinder of an engine just as he sprang aside to escape it, and again miraculously escaped with slight injuries. This time he hid for a couple of days in a farmhouse in fear that the railroaders were after him. The engineers are now talking of having him arrested for trespassing upon the company's property if they can catch him. FIND RELICS OF OLD TIME. Laborers in City of Mexico Unearth Evidences of Ancient City in Clay, Utensils. Mexico City.—Laborers excavating trenches for the underground cable system of the telephone company near Cinco de Mayo street have struck a number of clay utensils, concrete foundation of temples, and pottery covered with hieroglyphics, also Spanish coins whose dates are undeclipherable, but which, mingling with the pottery, induces the supposition that the antiquities appertain to periods of the conquest, when Cortez razed every, building in the Aztec capital. A wall uncovered shows evidences of having been built on the ruins of another city lower down. The wall is covered with hieroglyphics, which were partly effaced by the drilling of the conduit holes through the solid mass. Prof. Batres is eager to obtain government permission to excavate below the present find for older remains which he is satisfied exist underneath, especially in view of similar discoveries made in 1900. Town Has Octuple Wedding. Appleton, Wis.—Five per cent. of the population of Little Chute were married recently and the 350 Hollanders of the village had a gala day. Sixteen young people of the village yielded to the machinations of Cupid, and all were wed within a period of six hours. Merchants and citizens generally joined in a mammoth celebration. The four village dance halls were engaged and temporary pavilions erected. Hollanders from over-the eastern section of the state were present. Panama's Navy. The Republic of Panama has a navy. The navy is a steam yacht which was bought from a New York-man. She will be armed with two three-pounders and two automatic rapid-firers, which will give her an armament as heavy as the participants in a negro crap game usually carry. And she is commanded by an admiral from Kansas City. A Deferred Catastrophe. The recent naval battle in the Korean strait is said to have suggested a great epic poem to Post Laureate Austin, but the unpleasant apprehensions of the English-speaking world will be considerably allayed when it is known the work is expected to require several years to complete it.

The charge against them was the result of Vardaman's teachings and Southern prejudice, superinduced by local jealousy among some members of the bar, because of the prominence and success of these colored lawyers. The attorneys took their appeal to the Supreme Court and are confident of a reversal of the judgment. In due time before the trial began, they made a motion to quash the indictment against them because there were no negroes on the grand jury who indicted them. They also made a motion to quash the panel of the petit jury upon similar grounds. These motions were overruled. These men will carry their case to the United States Supreme Court, as was done in the cases of Carter vs. Texas, Rogers vs. Alabama, and others, on Federal questions, because there were no negroes on the jury. They are determined to make it possible that no negro shall hereafter be convicted of an alleged crime in Mississippi unless there be negroes on the grand and petit juries that indict and convict them. There are upwards of 200,000 more negroes in Mississippi than there are whites, yet there has not been a negro on a jury for over ten years, no matter what kind of a case they had in court, or what their interest was in them. The equal protection of the law has systematically been denied to them, and their rights and privileges have been abridged and denied, contrary to the 14th Amendment of the Constitution of the United States, because they are negroes. These men ask the colored press and people, and the good people generally, to help them to right this great wrong, by sending donations to them, in their fight for human liberty.
