SATURDAY JULY 15 1905 What I Saw And Heard I am of the opinion that the members of the Metropolitan Church will allow Rev. Mr. Drew to occupy the unexpired term to which he was elected. The malcontents should be satisfied. Emmet J. Scott, who has quite a number of big negroes bluffed, imagines that he is a great man. I wonder where he gets that idea. I don't think Dr. Bruce Evens should resign the directorship of Armstrong Manual Training School. He should have his salary increased and remain. I have nothing against Dr. Evens, but I don't like to see a good and useful man taken away from a position in which he is so useful. At last the great negroes of the country have organized and elected Dr. Du Bois as their leader. Dr. Du Bois is a N. P. W. DREW, D. D. PASTOR OF THE man of great learning. Tom Fortune has started an eight page sheet. There is now a great draw on Tuskegee. I understand that Emmett Scott is one of the editorial managers of The Age. The citizens of this city would object to bringing young Bruce from Tuskegee. There is a movement on foot to make Dr. Evens supervising principal and Bruce director of the Armstrong Manual Training School. While Bruce is a fine young man and I have no personal ill will towards him, I know the people will not permit him to be at the head of the Armstrong without a protest. I don't think that Mr. Francis would insult the people to that extent. Prof. N. E. Weatherless is the best man to appoint as Prof. Brown's successor. The people ought to have something to say in this matter. If it were left with the people Prof. Weatherless would be appointed. Justice O'Neal is on the bench for the months of July and August, and probably until September. No man is more popular with the bar than Justice O'Neal. He conducts his court with dignity and decision. Look out for several colored appointments in the District. FAIR PLAY. Men don't preach for money and yet there would be more preachers, if there were more money in it.—Baltimore Lancet. Mr. Willard Against The From the Culpeper, Va., Exponent. About the only thug that the people of Culpeper have heard regarding what Mr. Willard favors, or does not favor, is that he is in favor of the single list of school books. So are all the other candidates in favor of this list, but by a gradual adoption, in order that the people of the State may not be left with a lot of useless and valueless school books on hand. However, the newspapers that are shouting so loudly about Willard being in favor of the single list, have not been generous enough to apprise their readers of this fact. Supposing that these same papers are well nigh weared with the talk of his favoring the single list, as their readers must be, the Exponent desires to call their attention to another instance in HE COSMOPOLITAN BAPTIST CH which Mr. Willard's disapproval came very near to the white men, women and children of Virginia. We all know what a pleasant difference there has been in riding upon the railroads cars of Virginia since the passage of what it known as the "Jim Crow Car Bill." We all know with what satisfaction it has been, since its passage, that Virginia gentlemen have been able to put their wives, their daughters and their children upon the railroad cars, securely contented in the thought that in their travels alone they will not be disturbed, harassed or embarrassed by the rude, uncouth and vulgar negro men and women that at one time made traveling so disagreeable to ladies and children, when unaccompanied. Indeed, being in the company of their husbands and brothers was no guarantee of freedom from the discomfort of traveling in the same car with unclean and vulgar negroes. This was the condition of affairs in Virginia up to 1900, at which time Hon. John E. Epps, member of the House of Delegates from Richmond, introduced a bill to provide for separate coaches for white, and colored passengers upon the railroad trains of Virginia. The bill was referred to the committee on Roads and Internal Navigation, of which committee Mr. Willard was a member. Now let us inquire into Mr. Willard's action in regard to the subject, which was certainly of the gravest import to the white people of Congressional Library* BEE GR De fea bra 1905 The Bee IN THE GREAT ADVERTISING MEDIUM TRY IT!

We have before us a copy of the Richmond Dispatch of January 16, 1900. We give its entire report upon the proceedings of the committee: Hon. John E. Epps has won his fight for the separate car bill. The House Committee on Roads and Internal Navigation voted last night to report it favorably, and it will appear on the calendar of the House-to-day. There is little or no doubt of its passage. The session of the Committee was held in the hall of the House. The interest in the measure was manifest by the large crowd in attendance upon the meeting. The Hall was filled with spectators, more than one-half of the General Assembly being present. Mr. Epps made a good fight for his bill, refusing to accept any amendments, though many offered, and when the bill was finally adopted without change, the crowd broke forth into cheers, and Mr. Epps was heartily-congratulated. HURCH. DANER SUBSTITUTE WITHDRAWN. BAKER SUBSTITUTE WITHDAWN. The Epps bill was the first read, and was followed by the reading of the Baker substitute, which is an exact copy of the North Carolina law. The McAllister compromise bill was read. Mr. Epps had amended his bill so as to provide that when any coach or compartment of a car for either race shall be completely filled where no extra coaches or cars can be had, the conduct is authorized to assign seats to one race in the car or compartment set apart for the other race, and to provide that the act should not apply to Pullman cars or to through express trains doing no local business. Mr. Baker upon hearing the Epps bill read said the amendments met any objections he had to the original bill, and he, therefore, would withdraw his bill. Mr. Epps made a strong plea for his bill. He recognized, he said, that the people wanted separate cars, and he was going to continue to fight for them, if he never got another free passage on another railroad in his life. The House of Delegates provided separate galleries for white and colored spectators, the churches and theatres provided separate places for the races, and it was no hardship to separate them when traveling. He said if his bill was not reported he would introduce it in the House as a substitute. MR. MC ALLISTER SPEAKS. Mr. McAllister next took the floor. (Continued on Fifth Page.) [Image content missing] of Reception To Rev. Drew. Tuesday evening, July 6th, the Cosmopolitan Baptist Church was crowded to its utmost capacity. There were present people from all stages in life. Old men, old women, young men and young women, children and even babies in their mothers' arms came out to honor the man who had won a legal victory in the Court of Appeals. There were also present representative ministers from other churches present and they spoke words of praise. Several beautiful young girls acted as ushers and seated the people as they entered the church. The pulpit was beautifully decorated, and seated therein were distinguished men. Prof. Thomas Miller, the choir director, conducted the singing and many sweet pieces were rendered by the choir under his directions. The meeting was called to order by Mr. A. E. Robinson, one of the trustees, who delivered a well and timely prepared address. This was followed by Scripture reading by the young divine, Rev. W. H. Howard. Addresses were then delivered by the deacons and trustees, Messrs.Robert H. Roberts, R. H. Moten and Geo. R. Robinson. Capt.

EMPRESS EUGENIE'S LETTER ON NAPOLEON'S END. In Missive, Written to Friend, Just Published, She Tells of Bona- Paris.—In connection with the presence in Paris of Empress Eugenie, a highly interesting letter written by her to Mme. Cornu, foster-sister of Napoleon III., has just been published. It was believed that the document was given out by M. Franceschini Pietri, though this is not known as an absolute fact. Mme. Cornu, while the emperor was in the hands of the English surgeons in January, 1873, at Chislehurst, asked for news of the patient, whose painful malady had been diagnosed before the outbreak of the Franco-German war by Dr. Nelaton, Dr. Ricord, Dr. Fauvel, Dr. Curvisart and Dr. Germain See. The empress replied: "My Dear Mme. Cornu: I have just received your letter, and I lose not a moment in giving you news of our very, very dear patient. It would be impossible to tell you all that he has suffered. He has, I think, felt the largest part of moral and physical suffering that it has ever been the lots of one man to bear. At last they have found, after examination, a stone as large as a chestnut. Sir Henry Thompson effected two operations today. The local phenomena are still serious. The general strength is good. We cherish, accordingly, a hope which can be founded reasonably on reassuring symptoms. In spite of all, however, my anxiety is extreme. I pass from complete calmness to utter despair. My poor boy is, thank God, at Woolwich, and that enables us to reassure him completely and more than we can reassure ourselves. "After the discovery of the stone Sir Henry Thompson and Sir William Gull both remarked that they could not understand how my dear emperor was able to remain five hours in the saddle at Sedan. Will there at last not arise a cry for justice in France. France, where he so loved, and loves still, to silence the frightful calumnies which have caused him so much suffering? People, as well as individuals, may be surprised for a moment when events hurry along precipitously, but woe to those for whom the hour of justice never comes. Sometimes, on seeing certain children tearing the wings of butterflies, and tormenting poor things that cannot show signs of suffering, I have made the comparison, and have thought that people sometimes pluck out the heart and hurt it without knowing the evil they do, with an eternal smile on their lips. My letter is rather incoherent, but you, my dear Mme. Cornu, will understand my state of mind at the present moment. Always yours affectionately. Eugenie." On the day after this letter was written the emperor died. In giving out the document for publication, the person whose name is not mentioned, but which is surmised, said: "Let whoever may be deceived by the sort of shyness which causes the empress to conceal her emotion and to remain impassibe, read this letter in which she makes, amid the tortures of anxiety, a first appeal to the justice of history."

Copenhagen.—King Christian of Denmark celebrated his eighty-seventh birthday Thursday, April 6. His descendants occupy or will occupy the thrones of Great Britain, Russia, Denmark, Greece and Baden. He still is vigorous and healthy and took 'great pleasure in his family gathering, which was curtailed this year an account of the war. Few monarchs, or, indeed, few men, can look back to a career more remarkable than can Christian IX. Born on April 8, 1818, as the third son of a throneless prince of Schleswig-Holstein-Sandenburg-Gluecksburg, at the age of 18 he entered the Danish army as a lieutenant, not thinking that he should ever become commander-in-chief. In 1842 he married Princess Louise of Hesse, daughter of Prince William, landgrave of Denmark. King Frederick VII. of Denmark had no offspring and as Princess Louise was the nearest heir to the throne of Denmark it was agreed to by the powers in London on May 8, 1852, that her husband, Prince Christian, should succeed Frederick. By the London protocol Prince Christian was given the title of royal highness and an Income of $55,000, besides a palace in Copenhagen and the Bernsdorf castle. He was declared heir to the throne by Danish law on July 31, 1853. He continued to serve in the army and at the time of the death of Frederick VII. he had reached the grade of inspector general of cavalry. The year 1863 was one of great importance to Prince Christian. In March his [Illustration of a man in military uniform]. KING CHRISTIAN OF DENMARK (European Monarch) Who Has Just Celebrated His Eighty-seventh Birthday.) oldest daughter, the beautiful Princess Alexandra, was married to the prince of Wales; in June his second son, Prince Wilhelm, was offered and accepted the throne of Greece as King George I., and finally, on November 15, on the death of King Frederick, he ascended the throne of Denmark. At first he was not very popular. He was received coolly by the Danish people, who, during the first year of his reign, were engaged in a hopeless war with Germany and Austria, resulting in the loss of the dukedoms of Schleswig-Holstein and Lauenburg. Since then his reign has been a happy one; commerce, industry, art and agriculture have flourished, and Denmark has lived in peace, devoting all her energy to the development of her resources. Now the king, through his justice and gentleness and his interest for the welfare of all his subjects, has gained a universal popularity. In 1866 his second daughter, Princess Dagmar, was married to Alexander III. of Russia, then czarewitch. Their married life was the happiest, and it is without doubt the gentle and amiable Danish princess had a strong and good influence upon the despotic ruler. In 1860 the king's eldest son, Crown Prince Frederick, married Princess Louisa, only child of Charles XII. of Sweden and Norway; in 1878 his youngest daughter, Thyra, was married to Ernst August, duke of Cumberland, the eldest son to the late King George V. of Hanover, and in 1885 his youngest son, Prince Waldemar, married Princess Maria of Orleans, daughter of the duke of Chartres. While thus his four eldest children are, or sometime will be, crowned heads, four of his grandsons one day may become the rulers over more than one-half of the civilized world—Russia, England, Denmark and Greece. While the king is now vigorous and alert at the age of 87, his wife died on September 29, 1898, as the age of 80. Drisael's Oldest Tenant. Thomas Coates, the late Lord Beaconsfield's oldest tenant, died at Hughenden, Buckinghamshire, February 6, at the advanced age of 88. He had had the closest relations with the great conservative statesman, who frequently consulted him on agricultural questions, and the deceased had many interesting reminiscences about the earl. He remembered innumerable noted visitors in Hughenden, including the late duke of Wellington. Mr. Coates last Easter resigned his church wardenship for Hughenden, which he had held for nearly half a century. Lawmaker from the Backwoods. William J. Tyndall, congressman from the Fourteenth Missouri district, is reported to have taken his first ride in an elevator after reaching Washington to look over the city, where he is to work for the next few years. New Jersey Has Tiny Infant. Mrs. Lucy Silvers, of Jersey City; N. J., gave birth to a daughter who weighed but 14½ ounces. The little stranger was christened Jeannette when less than an hour old. It is the smallest baby ever born in the vicinity. WIN8 FIGHT OF 17 YEARS. Stubborn Man Finally Gains His Point and Closes Toll Road Conflict of Long Standing. Lancaster, Pa.—For 17 years Columbus O. Rate, residing near the city limits, has fought unalued the Big Spring & Beaver Valley Turnpike company, whose road passed his property, and which, he maintained, was a public nuisance. His victory has finally been won, the court having just ordered the turnpike condemned. As far back as 1888 Rate first began condemnation proceedings against the company. The latter resisted, and a suit resulted, which Rate won; but the decision was reversed by the supreme court. Rate then refused to pay toll, and threatened to tear down the gate house, thereby inviting another suit to test his allegation that the turnpike was a nuisance and an unnecessary public infliction. Again he was prosecuted, and won the suit in the lower court, only to be again reversed. Still unrelenting in his determination to close the toll gate. Rate, with the assistance of his neighbors, began an agitation for the extension of South Duke street. It was finally opened to a point beyond the company's tollhouse, enabling travelers to get into and out of the city without paying toll. This was a practical victory for Rate, for the company's business was in time almost completely destroyed. The road was soon in a deplorable condition, owing to lack of repairs, and then Rate again took steps to have it condemned and the toll rate removed. These have at last been successful. and the turnplike is now a free public highway. Nearly the entire length of the turnplike was within the city limits. DOG A MOTHER TO CHICKS Canine Shelters Wee Feathered.Creatures—Chases Cats with Criminal Intentions. Bloomfield, N. J.—Edward G. Naumann is the owner of seven Little chickens which were brought to Hife in an incubator. Mr. Naumann is also the owner of a pet dog. The dog was basking in the sunshine the day the little chickens were turned out to scratch, and one of the little chickens butted up against him and immediately took shelter under his fleecy hair. The six others followed suit. The dog did not resent the intrusion and the chickens made themselves very much at home, making short excursions from their shelter and then running back again. When the dog got up and moved he was followed by the batch of little chickens, and when he lay down again the chicks again used him for a shelter. Anxiety thus formed developed into a mutual attachment, and the dog assumed a guardianship over the chickens. The dog, Mr. Neumann says, is a wonderful guardian and protector. While there are no fences around Llewellyn avenue premises, yet such is the sagaciousness of the dog and his intuitive ideas of surveying and geography that if the chickens attempt to cross the line of the Neumann place, the dog noses them back to their proper bounds, and if a cat appears in the neighborhood the dog puts it to flight. The dog is very considerate of his charges and when they want to rest he lies down and the chickens cuddle up against him. ICE·THIRTY FEET THICK. Remarkable Discovery Made by Connecticut Man Seeking Cold Water in a Well. New Haven, Conn.-The people up in Coventry have been astonished to find this year in the early summer a well in a farm yard which is still frozen to the depth of 30 feet. Nothing like this has been known in Connecticut in years, the heavy ice banks of 1888 having receded by this time of year. So"fishy" did this story seem that a Hartford reporter, exceptional for his veracity, personally looked the matter up. He found that the well had not been used recently, and that when the farmer on whose premises it was thought he would like a drink of cold water tried to draw it his bucket struck a hard substance. Getting into the well, the farmer found that the top of the well was thick with ice, which reached at least 30 feet in a solid chunk to the bottom. The well has performed unusual feats in keeping ice in recent years, but nothing so remarkable as this.

He was born November 11, 1882, and bears the title of duke of Scania. His full name is Oscar William Frederic Olaf Gustaf Adolf. He is a soldier, and has two brothers. Princess Margaret is the eldest child of Prince Arthur, duke of Connaught, and was born January 15, 1882. Her full name is Margaret Victoria. She has a brother aged 22, and a sister 19 years old. Her uncle, King Edward VII, bestowed on her the nickname of "Daisy," and she seldom is called by any other name in the royal family circle. Princess Margaret is tall. healthy and handsome, and loves fun and amusement Many distinguished personages participated in the marriage ceremony. The bridegroom entered the chapel accompanied by Prince William of Sweden, with gentlemen in attendance. The bridegroom was followed by the royal party.

London.—What is said to have been at one time the favorite chair of Martin Luther has been loaned to Dr. Torrey for his personal use while conducting revival meetings in London. The photograph of it here reproduced shows it on the platform of the big corrugated iron structure in the Strand, where the American evangelist is exhorting slimmers to repentance. As an article of furniture there is nothing particularly striking or impressive about it. The carving on the framework is good, but not elaborate. It is a solid, substantial, well-built chair that no one need be afraid to sit down on. If Dr. Torrey does not always derive inspiration from its use he is at least assured of a good rest every time he plants himself in it. From the fact that the great religious reformer preferred it to the straight-backed, hard-bottomed chair of the period one would be justified in inferring that he did not believe in needless mortification of the flesh and could ONCE LUTHER'S FAVORITE CHAIR. occasionally at least thoroughly enjoy taking life easy. The history of the chair seems to be well authenticated by documentary evidence. In 1523 Luther married Katherine von Bora of Saxony, into whose family 22 years later a member of the Aurauner family married. Martin Luther presented the chair to the newly-married couple as a wedding gift. That was about one year before his death. The chair has ever since remained in the possession of the Aurauner family as a cherished heirloom. From Mme. Aurauner, who recently died at Triucllingen, Bavaria, it passed to her niece. Mrs. Cruijikshank, now living in London. It was she who loaned it to Dr. Torrey. A Plague of Mice. In the town of Merriwira, in New South Wales, a plague of mice is disturbing the people. Recently 10,000 mice were killed in four night in one store. Upward of 500 were captured while a cricket net was being unrolled. Four or five bushels of oats in a bag were appropriated by the mice in a night. A local well ceased to yield water and on examination it was found to contain a solid mass several feet deep of dead mice. Food and water and bedding are overrun, contaminated and injured. The townpeople are fighting the terrible little visitors night and day, but at last accounts they had made little impression upon the swarms of vermin. HAS HAD BUSY LIFE. THOMAS F. RYAN, NEW OWNER OF EQUITABLE LIFE. New York.—Thomas A. Ryan has been at the head of nearly every financial deal of consequence that has been consummated in Wall street in the last decade. No one identified with that powerful and resourceful group of capitalists and financiers known as the Whitney syndicate has gained a wider measure of success than Mr. Ryan, though the public has never been acquainted with his methods, nor has it ever known of any big transaction contemplated by him until official announcement of it was made, says a special to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Mr.Ryan has a distaste for publicity. His secretiveness is such that his friends say his right hand never knows what his left is doing. Mr. Ryan has bested, time and again, such men as James R. Keene, James J. Hill and others of that class. Mr. Keene was signally discomfited when Ryan put through the stock exchange transaction by which control of the Third Avenue Railroad company was secured by the Metropolitan Interests. His Wall street triumphs have been so numerous, in fact, that it is doubtful if Mr. Ryan himself is able to recall all of them. Mr. Ryan is 54 years old. His career has been remarkable in many ways. Its most amazing feature is this—that he worked his way from absolute poverty to power and almost unlimited wealth. He was born in Nelson county, Va., on October 17, 1851, his maternal ancestors having been Scotch-Irish and his father's ancestors having come from the north of Ireland to Virginia before the revolution. His mother died when he was five years old, and he went to live with his grandmother. Young Ryan left the homestead and went to Baltimore to seek his fortune. Without money or friends he had a hard row to hoe. By perseverance he finally secured a small position with John Barry's dry goods commission house. Two years later he struck out A. H. for New York. In this city he obtained a position with a banking house in which Barry was interested. Ryan was then 19. In two years he had gained, by close attention, a wonderful insight of finance. This early training has stood him well in hand. At 21 he formed a stock exchange partnership and became his own boss. That was what he had been striving for all his life. He prospered so well that in 1874 he was able to purchase a seat on the stock exchange. There he continued in active business for ten years. In this short period, Mr. Ryan, by his great capacity for work, original ideas, ability for execution, together with his quiet, unostentatious demeanor, attracted the attention of such heavyweights in the financial world as Jay Gould, Samuel J. Tilden, William R. Travers, John B. Travor and William C. Whitney, Mr. Whitney was especially impressed by the young man, and in 1886 took hold of him and together they began the work of consolidating the various railway and railroad lines in this city. Since then Mr. Ryan has extended his operations until he and his associates have consolidated about everything in sight, including steam railroads, electric light properties, gas companies and almost every known branch of industry and finance. Mr. Ryan was the original promoter of the Metropolitan Street Railway company, which by degrees absorbed practically every line in Manhattan. He was one of the organizers of the Consolidated Traction company of Jersey City, which connected that city with neighboring towns and cities. He also is largely interested in the Atlantic Coast Electric line, which runs along the Jersey coast, taking in Long Branch. Several years ago Mr. Ryan acquired the horse car lines on Staten Island and changed the power to electricity. Incidentally he took in the electric lighting plants on Staten island. The gas trust in New York is a sample of Mr. Ryan's handwork. In this he was assisted by William C. Whitney and Anthony N. Brady, with the backing of the Standard Oil company. It would take a good deal of space to enumerate all the companies of which Mr. Ryan is a director. Mr. Ryan, on November 25, 1873, married Miss Ida M. Barry, daughter of his first employer. His hobby is raising Holstein cattle, of which he has several hundred head. His kennels contain some of the finest dogs in the world. He is a member of many clubs, though he does not devote much time to them. Gen. Simon Sam, Former President of Hayti and His Unique Career. San Juan, P. R.-Gen. Tieresias Simoh Sam, former president of Hayti, and father of 80 sons and many daughters, has been driven from St. Thomas by the Danish authorities, having been given the preference of speedy departure or certain conviction and long imprisonment upon the charge of abduction made by a young girl. Gen. Sam is a typical Haytian of the better class. He is a full-blooded negro, nearly 70 years, old. He is of British descent and is a member of a respected family in Hayti. He may GEN SIMON SAM. (Ex-President of Haiti) Who Has Been Forced to Flee from St. Thomas.) tried the niece of President Salomon, and was promoted by the latter to the rank of general of the district of Port au Prince. In this capacity he was ordered by Salomon toward the end of the latter's presidential term when he tried to check the revolution that finally expelled him, to seize upon suspected political adversaries and to shoot them by the cartload. When in 1896 President Hippolyte was struck down by apoplexy Gen. Sam was unanimously elected president of Hayti and entered upon the duties of his office without a shot having been fired in support of his claim. Upon becoming president, on March 20, 1836, a complete change was wrought in the integrity of Gen. Sam, and he made no attempt to hide his intention to live up to the Haytian proverb that "Hayti is a cake to be divided among the fraternity and each one must get his little slice." He contrived, with the aid of his French and German friends, to realize his scheme of consolidating the debts of the country, by which he involved the revenues of the country for 35 years and put into his pocket $7,000,-000. When the fraud was discovered and people forced President Sam and his cabinet to leave the country. After leaving Haytil Gen. Sam resided in Paris for some time, but, desirous of being nearer home, he returned to the West Indies and established his permanent residence at St. Thomas. One of the inland towns of Haytil is entirely populated by Sams, all of whom are either the children or grandchildren of the general. GEN. WEYLER TO THE FORE The "Butcher" of Cuban Fame Again a Member of the Spanish Cabinet. Gen. Valeriano Weyler Y Nicolau, to whom has been given the war portfolio in the new Spanish cabinet, won a name for hideous brutality and repression while he was captain general in Cuba. He was born in Palma, Balearic islands, in 1838, was educated at Grenada, and then entered the military schools, becoming a lieutenant of the staff in 1860. He obtained the rank of lieutenant general in 1878. In 1896 Weyler was sent to Cuba to suppress the rebellion, and his methods there are too well known to be recapitulated. He also has been chief commander in the Philippines, and has fought in San Domingo. He does not smoke or drink, but is very fond of bull fighting. BOOER, R. Washington's work. Booker T. Washington's Tuskegee school graduates this year in its academic and industrial departments 142 students, which brings the total number graduated in the 24 years of existence to nearly 1,000. This, however, is only a fraction of the number who have been trained more or less in the school. Very many have taken short terms and then gone out to get work. Nor do these figures indicate the breadth of the work and influence of the institution. No account is taken of its large school extension work or of the scattered 26 little Tuskegees that have grown up under its fostering care. There were upward of 1,500 students enrolled in all the departments of the school the past year. Among them were numerous foreigners — from Central America, the West Indies and Africa. World's Largest Hospital World's Largest Hospital. Berlin will shortly be able to boast that it contains the largest hospital in the world. The new institution, which is to be called after the famous physiologist, the Rudolf Virchow hospital, will be fitted with accommodations for 2,000 patients. When fully equipped it will have a staff of 650 physicians, nurses, attendants and servants. In connection with the hospital, there will be a pathological and anatomical laboratory, bath house with medio mechanical institute, section for Roentgen appliances, and a separate building also for notopteries. Hitherto the largest German hospital was that at Eppendorf, near Hamburg, with accommodations for 1,600 patients. 11 FLIEES UNION JACK. OLD AMERICAN FRIGATE NOW A BRITISH TRAINING SHIP. The President, Surrendered by Capt. Stephen Decatur in 1815, Is Now a Part of the English Naval Force. London—Lying in the river Thames is a frigate captured by the British from America in 1815. Its name is the President. Few persons knew of the existence of this old vessel until the other day, when Lord Charles Beresford, commander in chief of the Mediterranean squadron, hoisted his flag at her peak to signify that he had assumed his new charge. The story of how the President came to be a British prize is interesting. She was surrendered to overwhelming odds by Capt. Stephen Decatur outside Sandy Hook, having been cut to pieces in a battle with a superior vessel and then surrounded by four others. Escape was utterly out of the question, and so her flag was hauled down. The President was one of the largest of the American frigates, rating 44 guns and carrying a large crew. Her first affair, of importance was her encounter with the British sloop-of-war Little Belt, in command of Capt. Blugham, off the Capes, on May 16, 1811. The President was then commanded by Commodore Rogers, and, while none of her crew was killed, and only one—a boy—wounded, the British sloop lost 13 killed and 19 wounded. The surrender to the British of the President took place on January 16, 1815. Two days before, under command of Capt. Stephen Decatur, the President had dropped down from the city to Sandy Hook. During the night she made an attempt to cross the bar and put to sea. From some cause never explained the pilot missed the channel and ran the ship on one of the shoals which obstruct the harbor, and for five hours she was defailed. As a squadron of British ships had been blockading the harbor for several weeks and had been blown off by a gale, the opportunity to run the President outside had been seized by Capt. THE PRESIDENT (Former American Frigate Now a British Training Ship.) Decatur. The mishap caused by the pilot was therefore particularly unfortunate, resulting as it probably did in the loss to America of the fine frigate. Early on the morning of January 15, while Capt. Decatur was headed southeast by east, he made out three strange sail, all within shot and all directly ahead of the President. The American vessel then was hauled up and passed to the northward, three miles distant. When the day came it was found that there, were four ships in pursuit of the President. Decatur had on board a large quantity of stores, for use on a long cruise, and he at once took steps to lighten his ship. Anchors were cut away, water casks emptled, provisions, cables, spars, boats and all other articles that could be spared were thrown overboard. From the royals down the sails were kept wet, but as the wind was light and elusive the pursuers gained steadily. At three o'clock in the afternoon the nearest ship was close enough and opened fire with her bow guns. For nearly an hour the President endured the galling fire, each shot carrying away some of her rigging. Then Capt. Decatur determined to act and his crew cheerfully agreed with him. The President's helm was put up and her course changed so that she could get in close quarters with her opponent. The Englishman understood the scheme of Decatur and kept off. The ships meantime coming abeam and each delivering a broadside. Then for two and a half hours she combatants, a quarter of a mile apart, ran dead ahead, but whenever the President made an attempt to close in the enemy sheered off, so that the action was altogether with the heavy guns. When the four ships had come within gunshot, at, 11 o'clock, the Pomona, one of them, at once began battle within musket shot distance, while the Tenedos, within two cable lengths, and the Majestic and the Dispatch, even closer astern, all opened fire. Surrounded by a force vastly superior to his own and with one-fifth of his crew either dead or crippled, and his ship in such condition that to sail away was impossible, Capt. Decatur decided that it was his duty to surrender, which he did by hoisting a light to indicate his purpose. The President's force was 32 long 24-pound guns, one 24-pound howitzer, 20 42-pound carronades and five small pieces in her tops. On the President 24 men were killed and 56 wounded. The Endymion lost 11 killed and 14 wounded. There were no casualties on the other ships. Berlin.—Here is a picture of Bedlin's famous marble Sieges allee (Avenue of Victory), which American cablegrams report is to serve as model for a statuary lined avenue of American heroes in Washington—to be erected through the munificence of the lately deceased Chicago millionaire lumberman, Benjamin F. Furguson. The Sieges allee, which is one of Berlin's great show sights, is a personal gift to the city from Kaiser Wilhelm, and represents his own artistic idea. It bisects the beautiful Thlergarten park at the north end, stretching for a quarter of a mile from the giant Column of Victory in Koenlueg platz to the intersection of Bellevue allee and Thler- "SIEGES ALLEE" IN BERLIN. (Famous Avenue to Be Reproduced In Washington.) garden strasse. It is adorned on either side with marble statutes of Prussian rulers, 32 groups in all, beginning with the earliest Markgrafs and continuing up to the time of the present emperor's grandfather, Kaiser Wilhelm the Great. Behind the figure of each ruler, which is considerably more than life size in glittering white marble, is a semi-circular bench bearing at either end busts of two eminent contemporaries. Beside Kaiser Wilhelm Der Grosse, for instance, are the busts of Moltke and Bismarck. It is said the present emperor has reserved a space in the allee for his own statue, which, he hopes, will be erected by grateful posterity. The Sieges allee, besides constituting a magnificent selection of modern German sculpture, is a splendid lesson in history and patriotism for young Germany. Almost any afternoon troops of school children may be seen tramping up and down the allee in charge of teachers, who explain the significant things about the reign of each ruler, and about the two great men worthy of being immortalized in marble alongside of him. The statue of Frederick the Great in the Sieges allee was the original of the bronze presented by the kalser to the city of Washington a year ago. In spring and summer, when the beautiful foliage of the Thlargartan is in full bloom and blossom, the Sieges allee is a gorgeous sight. It is sometimes made fun of by the hypercritical Berliners as being too funeral in aspect, and as giving a cemetery look to the park, but the avenue will stand for all time as a monument to patriotism and artistic sense of the strenuous William II. The Sieges allee represents a cost of '$1,000,000, and was paid for from the private purse of the kaiser.' BRITISH MUNICIPAL GLORY. A New $8,000,000 Building Is to House the London County Council. London.—The London county council has sanctioned the purchase of a site on the south bank of the Thames, opposite the houses of parliament, at a cost of $3,000,000, on which to erect a county hall at an additional cost of about $5,280,000, with a river embankment costing $220,000. There will be a frontage of 800 feet on the river and DESIGN FOR LONDON'S NEW COUN- TY COUNCIL HALL. If the building is architecturally successful it will form with St. Thomas' hospital and Lambeth palace. also on the south side. a magnificent group of public buildings. The definite plans for the building are not yet completed, and the drawing is not intended as other than a sketch scheme. At present the site consists of some unsightly wharves at the southeast enn of Westminster bridge, but it is proposed to house in a great county hall the county council, which controls the local government of London, with the exception of the square mile of the city which remains under the historic lord mayor at the Mansion House. All the administrative offices will be contained in the building, together with the council chamber. Told of the President. Representative Cushman relates that when President Roosevelt was in the state of Washington last year, he had a most enthusiastic reception. At one of the gatherings an old frontiersman conided to Mr. Cushman that Roosevelt was the greatest man he ever saw and the greatest man who ever visited the northwest. On being asked for the reason of his judgment the man replied: "Why. Roosevelt is the only man I ever saw who looks worse than his cartoons." POVERTY TO POWER. CAREER OF SECRETARY LESLIE M. SHAW, OF IOWA. Is Called the "David Harum" of the President's Cabinet—Got a Start.Selling Fruit Trees. Washington.—"David Harum in the tablnet." That is the term of affectionate endearment often applied to Leslie M. Shaw, secretary of the treasury. Is it to be "David Harum in the white house?" That is the question which Secretary Shaw's friends answer most enthusiastically in the affirmative, in which answer Mr. Shaw is supposed secretly to concur. The bustling west, of which Mr. Shaw is a type, is made up in its most successful population of "Yankees," who have migrated, settled and made fertile and prosperous the fecund land, says the Star: The stony farms of Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut and the wooded slopes of Maine have contributed to the bone, sinew and brains of the land beyond the Mississippi. Leslie M. Shaw is a fitting example of a class. He spent his youth in the hard school of a narrow New England life. Born in Vermont in 1848, he lived in the little town of Stowe. He received a good education at the academy at Morrisville and when he was 21 years of age went to Iowa. He earned the means to graduate himself from the Iowa College of Law in 1876. He is the son of Boardman Ozias Shaw, whose father, Ebenezer Shaw, was one of the earliest settlers and first selectman of Morristown, Vt. His mother was a daughter of Jason Spaulding, a teacher of some reputation in the eastern part of New York state. Boardman Shaw moved to a farm in Stowe, Vt., where Leslie M. Shaw spent his minority. Leslie M. Shaw was dependent upon his own efforts in obtaining an education, but with characteristic persistence went to work. He taught school in the winter and worked in the harvest fields in the summer. Several winters he trained all over northwestern Iowa seeding fruit trees and nursery stock. His energy was LESLIE M. SHAW (Secretary of the Treasury Who Rose from Poverty) wonderful and he was determined to succeed, in spite of his poverty. After years of hard work he earned sufficient to complete his college and professional courses and was graduated from the Iowa college in 1876. In the same year he located in the practice of his profession at Dennison. This keen young Yankee, anxious to "get ahead," as they say out west, looked about him for the best way to make some ready money quickly. He realized that dollars would breed dollars might fast in that region and that time, given a reasonable number of dollars with which to begin. His start was humble enough. He loaded up with a stock of fruit trees and started out to sell them to the farmers. Iowa needed fruit trees in those days. Most of them were Yankees, and in the long winter evenings their mouths watered for the succulent apples of the old homestead. Shaw resolved that apples were his long suit and he set out scores and scores of the great orchards of Iowa. He dealt fairly and in "dellivering the goods" made friends. He became known throughout all that region. Thus, when he started up as a lawyer he had friends, ready made, among the farmers. Litigation there was in plenty; no one, ever accused a New Englander of readiness to give up a point claimed in his own favor if the courts could help him sustain it. Mr. Shaw in those days was a natural born trader, they say. Between law cases he traded for anything in sight. Pretty soon he saw a chance to trade in farm mortgages. He and his law firm would deal in mortgages and attend to the law part of the trade as a side issue. Pretty soon; as the prospect opened, they felt the need of more capital. Nothing easier than to start a bank in connection with the law firm. Thus they caught the clients, coming and going. Up to the outbreak of the Bryan fever, in 1896, Leslie M. Shaw was nothing but a business man and a lawyer. He had a class in Sunday school and used to get them into debates. Then he got to addressing schools and like assemblages. First thing he knew, the politicians got their eye on him. Good talkers were wanted about that time. He could tell a cracking good story and keep an audience interested. He was earnestly opposed to free silver, his banking experience giving him the cue in that direction. The republicans took him up and ran him for governor, electing him. In 1962 he was asked to become secretary of the treasury and accepted. He still knows a good Iowa mortgage when he sees one. A HOT BOX. There is in one corner of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing an apartment designated as the "rag Rev. Drew responded as follows: Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: Language is inadequate to express my appreciation for the many words of encouragement and other tokens of appreciation and esteem which you have generously tendered me. I am ever mindful of the fact that I should say something to 'let you know that the honor and esteem which you have for me are duly appreciated. The hospitality which you have given me has been treasured up in my heart as a priceless jewel. It will forever abide with me; and whatever success I have been able to achieve in this field of religious labor, I sincerely attribute a portion to the Almighty God and your kindness and devotion. I have labored among you I believe as a messenger of God. My efforts have met with some opposition, but by the help of God and by your loyal support, we are able to-day to celebrate this occasion with thanksgiving and praise for the victory we have won. I have had your support not only in words, but your contributions have continued and have enabled us to overcome many difficulties which we could not, otherwise have overcome. I extend to you my heartfelt thanks for what the Lord has put into your hearts to give, and I pledge you my word and honor to utilize it to promote this work. Prof. Fennell read the following preamble and resolution which were adopted unanimously by rising vote: We desire to express our gratitude to Hon. Hugh T. Taggart, of Counsel, who heroically and manfully defended the interest of the Church and the men who were liberated. We tender to him our heartfelt gratitude. We also tender to W.

We are not less thankful to Edward Forrest, Esq., and all sympathizing friends, who gave their legal and moral support to the cause of our Church. Therefore, By special invitation of Rev. Simon P. W.Drew, D. D., Rev. J. L. Birchett, B. D., of New York, attended his reception given in his honor last Thursday evening. Dr. Birchett delivered a masterly address on that occasion which did great credit to himself and the occasion. He brought greetings from the brethren of New York and New Jersey. Rev. Birchett is a pulpit orator of the first magnitude; he has pastored successfully in both New Jersey and New York City. He is also an able evangelist. He has conducted many and successful revivals in both New England and the South. Dr. Birchett's services are ever in demand; he has many engagements already to conduct revivals this fall. While in Washington he was the guest of Rev. and Mrs. Drew. Besides the oration Dr. Birchett delivered two of the ablest sermons that have ever been heard in the district, at 8 P. M. Friday, and 11 A. M. Sunday. He leaves Sunday afternoon for Baltimore, Md., where he is booked to preach for Rev. A. Brown, D. D. Rev. Birchett made an enviable record in Washington.

B. Walker acting as master of ceremonies, introduced Attorney W. C. Martin, who, on behalf of the 400 or more members of the society, presented Rev. W. J. Howard with a gold Christian Endeavor pin. Dr. Howard was visibly and deeply touched by the able remarks of Mr. Martin in presenting the pin, and expressed his sincere appreciation of the high regard in which he is held by the members of the society, and hoped that he would so live in the future as to merit their most favorable consideration. MT. PISGAH NOTES. Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin. If God so clothes the grass, will He not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith. Man is as the grass that grows up and is soon faded. The Immortality is not so. It grows to perfection. Consider the shortness of life and the length of a never ending eternity. As for man his days are as grass. As a flower of the field, so he flourishes. I am the Vine and ye are the branches. And a flower will live longer if its stem is in the water; so will a creature in Christ. The flowers appear and the time of singing of the birds, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land. Rev. A. M. Patterson is holding tent meetings at First and O street northwest. Come and help, and hear the disne. The first quarterly meeting of Mount Psgah A. U. M. P. Church will be held on Sunday, July 16th. Services all day. Sacrament of the Lords Supper at 8 p.m. SOUTH WASHHINGTON BRIEPS. Mr. H. E. Johnson, one of the most accomplished cooks in the dining car service, received a well deserved compliment from the Pennsylvania Railroad officials. It is said by many of those who from time to time have come in contact with Mr. Johnson at his usual duties, that he is one of the fastest in the business, even though standing at the weight of two hundred and fifty pounds. To add to the competency of his position as chief cook, he is a highly respected gentleman socially, which has greatly aided him in his great success through life, and especially with his chosen profession as chief cook. Mr. Johnson is always chosen from a large numbers of chiefs of the company for all of their special and high class parties who travel over the reoad, including the head officials of the Pennsylvania system. He was recently assigned to the new fast train running between New York and Chicago, which train has lowered all previous records between the two cities from about twenty-five hours no eighteen hours. The above is. the agreed schedule, but the first trip of the train was even faster than the above, having made the long run in a little more than sixteen hours. Dr. P. B. Brooks, who is one of the best colored physicians in this city, is one of the busiest men in the southwest section. He is a young man whose whole heart is in his work, which has been the cause of his success in his profession. A large number of the members and friends went from the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church and also from the Israel C. M. E. Church, southwest, respectively, to the Union Wesley A. M. E. Church, on Twenty-third street, northwest, where the Rev. Cleaves, the pastor of Israel C. M. E. Church, delivered a sermon. The church was filled to overflowing. Rev. Cleaves is a grand speaker and has made a great reputation for himself by building up the church, which was much in need of the able work of some good and strong man who was willing and able to fight against a strong opposition. Miss Hattie Brown, one of South Washington's most accomplished young ladies, was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Jones Monday evening, July 10th, at which time a pleasant time was enjoyed. Miss Brown has a host of friends in all sections of the city and is, highly respected by all who know her. THE AMPHIONS The Amphibians have announced a midsummer outing Saturday evening, July 22, 1905, on the steamer Jane Moseley, which will leave her wharf at 6:30 sharp. Those who know of the former affairs by this organization, can appreciate this, which is the last one for this season. HOME AGAIN Mr. Ellsworth Grymes of this city, and a member of the Minute Men Association, has returned to his home again from Portland, Oregon, where he has been for some time setting up the exhibits of the United States Treasury Department. Mr. Grymes' stay in Portland was a most pleasant one. On his return home July 5th he was surprised most agreably. After two weeks at home he was greeted with a fine boy. The mother and baby are doing well. The ladies of the, Alpha Charity Club of Garfield held their first anniversary at the residence of Mr. A. L. Smith last week. A large number of the friends of the club were present, including visitors from the Alpha of Anacostia. Prayer was offered by Rev. Mr. Taylor, who has been a great friend and helper to the club. The annual report was read by the secretary, which showed a grand work done by the Alpha last winter in relieving the suffering poor. More than fifty dollars had been raised by entertainments and garments made and turned into money. Short speeches were made by A. W. Carroll and others. After the exercises were concluded the large dining room of Mr. Mr. Smith's was thrown open and the guests enjoyed the fruits of a finely prepared table and a social good time until a late hour. The members of the Alleh Chapel, A. M. E. Church, and Emmanuel Baptist --- Church observed the Fourth of July by treating the members of their Sunday schools. Mr. W. Lewis, of Garfield Heights, has a very ill child. Mrs. Amanda Forrest left on the roth inst. to spend some time in Atlantic City. Rev. J. W. Travers, of St. Paul's A. M. E. Church, preached at Allen Chapel on July 3d. The Garfield Citizens Association met at their regular monthly meeting July 6th, A. W. Carroll presiding. The committee on public schools submitted a very encouraging report as to the work done by that commitee toward securing for Garfield much needed new school building. The chairman of the committee on law and order reported the urgent need of a stationary police officer in Garfield, and recommended that the attention of the proper authorities be called to the matter in the near future. The officers are: A. W. Carroll, president; W. Lewis, vice-president; J. E. Young, chaplain; J. E. Young, Jr., secretary; Mr Ambush, sergeant-at-arms. Capp, Will. Sielos won the pants. Mr. Geo. R. Robinson is entitled to much credit for the work that he performed in the Metropolitan Church case, THE BEE as well as the people know how he worked. MR. WILLARD AGAINST THE JIM CROW CAR BILL. Continued From First Page. He said that he was in something of a dilemma. He did not altogether agree with Mr. Epps; he did not altogether agree with Mr. Baker, and he was not quite sure that he altogether agreed with himself. Mr. McAllister said he and Mr. Epps agreed on the main features of the Epps bill, but Mr. Epps did not agree to some of the features of the McAllister bill. He desired, he said, to insert into the Epps bill the provision requiring the assignment of the races to separate seats in waiting rooms, and empowering the agent to eject such passengers as occupied seats other than those assigned to them. He thought it just as essential that the races should be separated in waiting rooms as in passenger cars. Mr. Churchman interrupted Mrs. McAllister with the very pertinent query, if it was not unconstitutional to enact two laws under one head. Mr. McAllister replied affirmatively, but asserted that he was not seeking to enact two laws. He desired further to insert in the Epps bill the provisions of his bill, on punishing riotous conduct on board the trains or any railroad station property. Mr. McAllister, reverting to Mr. Churchman's query, said he did not think his amendments rendered the bill unconstitutional. He did not want to do anything that would militate against the bill; he wanted legislation on this subject as much as Mr. Epps, or any one else did. He wanted to provide for protecting the unprotected female travelers, who frequently have to wait for hours at a time in railway stations. If he could not get what he wanted, Mr. McAllister said he would vote for Mr. Epps' bill. Mr. Baker thought it would be impossible for the provisions of the McAllister amendments to be carried out, putting the railroad companies to the expense of employing special policemen at every station. He referred to the multidinous duties of the local country agent, who is usually ticket seller, telegraph operator and master of trains, and said at train times he would have no time to attend to the comfort of passengers. MR. HUNE'S AMENDMENT. Mr. Hume offered an amendment so as to make it apply to through electric lines operating in the state. He referred especially to the electric lines about Alexandria, running to Mt. Vernon and to Washington, and so worded his amendment as not to make the provisions of the act apply to street cars doing strictly street business. Mr. Epps asserted that his bill had stood the test of the Supreme Court of Appeals of the United States, and he besought the members of the Committee to load the bill down with amendments. If they would introduce separate bills to carry out what they sought to have enacted, he would vote for it. Mr. Fitzpatrick favored the Epps bill as it stood, without the dotting of an i or the crossing of a t. He did not approve of Mr. McMlister's amendments. Mr. Willard spoke of the importance of the railway communication with Washington through his section. He said after a hard fight his, people had secured capital to build the road from the south side of the Potomac to run through Alexandria and Fairfax counties. He thought the Epps bill would act as a prohibitive, and he, therefore, offered an amendment "that nothing in this act shall apply to roads operating exclusively in the counties of Alexandria and Fairfax, or in the counties of Fairfax and Alexandria and the District of Columbia." Mr. Lion opposed Mr. Willard's amendment "that nothing would act as HOUSE & HERRMAN THE LARGEST INSTALLMENT HOUSE IN theCITY now is the time to FURNISH YOUR HOUSE Carpet Your Floors on LIVE Comfortably. Only First-Class stores keep first class goods and sold by first class alerks in how large your Purchases are immediate delivery is mad: o any part of the city Name THE BEE when you call. a prohibitive, and he, therefore, offered an amendment "that nothing in this act shall apply to roads operating exclusively in the counties of Alexandria and Fairfax, or in counties of Fairfax and Alexandria and the District of Columbia." Mr. Lion opposed Mr. Willard's amendment. He was opposed to making fish of one and fowl of another; if one road was exempted, others should be. The Hume and Willard amendments were voted down. The McAllister amendments were voted on as a whole and were lost. Mr. Hume voted alone for his amendments. Mr. Willard's amendment received a vote of 5 to 6, as did also Mr. McAllister's. Mr. Epps bill exempted through express trains doing no local business, and Mr. McAllister desired to amend this provision by inserting the words "no" and "business." This was also lost by a vote of 5 to 6. The vote then recurred on the Epps bill, and it was adopted by the same vote. Messrs. Epps, Churchman, Baker, Lyons, Jones and Hutchinson voting for it. Messrs. Pilcher, Willard, Hubhard, Hume and McAllister voting against it. Messrs. Lewis and Ryan were paired, Mr. Ryan being absent. From the above it is seen that Mr. Willard wanted all roads operating exclusively in the counties of Alexandria and Fairfax and the District of Columbia exempted from the provisions of the bill, and that he offered an amendment to that effect, which was defeated by a plurality of only one vote. In our opinion there is far more need of a Jim Crow car on trains coming in and out of Washington City than on trans anywhere else in Virginia. For it is a well known fact that the negroes who live in Washington City are the ones that are most obtrusive and aggressive in forcing themselves into equal privileges with the white people. And it is down- for his amendment, Mr. Willard's should have sought to serve his constituents by seeking to deprive them of the comforts of railway travel in a car to which negroes, especially the impudent and insolent ones from Washington City, would not be admitted. Did such action constitute a regard for the welfare of his constituents, the white people of Alexandria and Fairfax counties, by whose votes, exclusively, he had been honored with a seat in the General Assembly of Virginia? If he was willing to thus serve the people of his section of the state with a continuation of close contact with the Washington negro, it is certainly safe to assume that he would have done the same thing for the whole state of Virginia. Indeed, this fact was demonstrated by his vote against the bill, as a whole, after his amendments had been voted down. Of all the disagreeable human beings upon the earth, the Washington darkey, with his exaggerated ideas of freedom and equality, is infinitely the worst. Mr. Willard's long residence and vast in- terests in Washington have doubtless fact. There, burly negro women have been known to sit in the laps of white ladies when there was no other seat to be had in the street car. Just imagine what their conduct would have been on the Alexandria and Fairfax county lines had Mr. Willard's desires and wishes been carried out. Knowing that all over Virginia, with the exception of those two counties, negroes were not allowed in the same car with white people, they would have taken especial delight in making themselves as disagreeable and obnoxious as possible to the ladies and children upon those Fairfax and Alexandria lines. It is a well known fact that, since the passage of the Jim Crow Car Bill in Virginia, the Washington darky has become well nigh intolerable. Unless a gentleman would get into a vulgar street brawl he has to give way and make room for the Washington "coon" in nine cases out of ten. And such is the action of the gentleman now asking the white people of Virginia to elevate him to the high position of the Democratic nominee—the white people's nominee, for no negro participates in the primary—for Governor of the grand old Commonwealth or Virginia. This is Mr. Willard's record, upon which, as he has repeatedly declared, he is content to stand. After years of suffering from the insolent darkey—since the civil war—a move is made by a Virginian to give us relief from an unbearable nuisance. And Mr. Call at once.

Widow of 38, Falling Groom, He Proposes to Damsel of 18 and Couple Is Married. Baltimore, Md.—Mrs. Ida Gosnell, a widow of 38, was to have married John C. Dorer, nine years her junior, and arrangements had been perfected for a wedding at the home of Mr. Oler, a mutual friend. The guests attended, and, with the minister, awaited the coming of the bridal pair. Mr. Dorer was on time, but the bride-to-be did not come. Messengers dispatched to her house came back with the information that the widow had changed her mind. Those present were not to be cheated in this way. The refreshments had arrived, and it was decided to go on with the reception. So they did, when Mr. Dorer decided to marry a Miss Higgins, and proposed before the company dispersed. He was accepted. This settled, it was up to Mr. Dorer to secure another license. Taking the one he had, he waited at the door of the courthouse until the clerk arrived. He wanted the names changed, but this could not be done, so he got another. Mr. Dorer and Miss Higgins went to the parsonage of the Starr Methodist church and were married by the pastor, Rev. G. W. Haddaway. Mr. Oler acted as best man, and Miss Alice Cassell was bridesmaid. Upon returning to the home of Mr. Oler the wedding party entered upon another reception. Mrs. Dorer is only 18 years of age, and the bridegroom says he is very well satisfied with the change. Comorn, Va.—A most remarkable and uncommon "flying snake" that was captured and killed at "Berry plain," the home of John S. Dickinson, in this county, a few days ago, has attracted wide attention. The curious reptile was first noticed flying about in the air, presenting the appearance of an ordinary snake attached to a strange looking bird. As far as is known, it never once descended to the earth and crawled on the ground after the manner of snakes, but it would occasionally alight in trees and catch such birds as best suited its fancy. It was finally killed and proved to be five feet long and about one inch in diameter of body. It had wings of good size, covered with feathers. "Berry plain," where the curious thing made its advent and met its untimely end, is one of the finest plantations in King George, being situated on the banks of the Rappahannock. It is conjectured by some that the "flying snake" may have come from an impenetrable marsh of the river or some neighboring creek. But this theory is not accepted by many, for, as far as can be learned, nothing bearing a similarity to this serpent was ever before seen or heard of anywhere in this section of the country. SHE DANCES 12 HOURS; Bride Wins $235 by Her Endurance in the Giddy Whirl for Half a Day. Sharon, Pa.—Paula Walliski, a pretty Polish malden, was married recently to Joe Sparski. At all Polish weddings it is a custom for the bride to dance with all the male guests, and every time a guest is thus favored he throws a piece of silver money into a plate which stands in the center of the room. The amount of money thus contributed to the bride depends entirely upon the endurance of the bride. Paula is a husky young woman, and she started with the first dance at noon. Around the room she was whirled, time and time again, and with each round the shekels dropped on the plate. Supper time came, but the bride did not stop for the meal, and continued to dance. Nine o'clock came, when the wedding repast was served, but still Paula was too busy dancing and making money. At midnight she dropped to the floor exhausted. Then the money was counted, and it was found that the bride had danced herself into the possession of $235. CUPID ROUTS "BACH" GIRLS Club Disrupted by Little Archer and Sixteen Marriages Are Then Booked. Buffalo, N. Y.—Sixteen young women, members of the Bachelor Girls' club, claiming Corry, Pa., as their home, arrived in Buffalo for a wholesale marriage at the Robinson hotel. Their ages range from 24 to 28 years. In 1900 they organized the Bachelor Girls' club and each took an oath not to marry as long as the organization was in existence. It is understood they have fallen one by one before Cupid's army, and that they decided to become brides in a bunch, which arrangement was agreed to by their suitors. The young women arrived in Buffalo and there were married. Merry on Merry-Go-Round. In St. Louis a few days ago a man and a woman were married on a merry-go-round while it was in operation Later they will be likely to take matrimony more seriously. Traction Question. With automobiles bumping street cars off the track in Chicago, the traction question there becomes even more complicated. Result, Friendship Is Severed Between Close Neighbors—Bovine an Epicure. Portland, Ore.—This city has an omnivorous cow, whose preference lies to the washing hanging on clotheslines. I. Wickman is the owner of the cow that would have been more nearly in accord with the eternal scheme of things had she been born a goat. She craves boots and shoes, rubber goods, and such like. This hunger has frequently led to hostilities between her owner and his neighbors, and has won her the appellation of "the brindle rag-chewer." As the result of a foraging expedition made by the cow Wickman and Nick Spady, who lives in the adjoining lot, are at daggers drawn. The bovine epicure rose early from her slumbers recently, and spied an undershrift and other garments hanging invitingly on a line in Spady's yard, close to the fence. Spady witnessed the disappearance of the last article. Filled with indignation, he grabbed a club, and vaulting over the fence beat the omnivorous animal full sore. Wickman was called to the scene by the bellowing of the cow, remonstrated with her assailant, and called in Policeman Adams, who was informed that Spady had beaten the cow in Wickman's own yard. The policeman acted King Solomon and advised peace, but there is blood on the moon. AN INTERESTING GRADUATE Story of Tek Kah Tsai, Educated at Charles City, Ia., College—Remarkable Progress. Charles City, Ia.—One of the graduates at the Charles City college this year is Tek Kah Tsal. He is a native of Klu Klang, China. He will graduate with the degree of bachelor of arts. Four years ago he could not speak a word of English. In the four years he has mastered the German and English languages and speaks them fluently. Mr. Tsal has a family in his native city of Klu Klang, a wife and two boys and a girl. While he has been attending college here he has paid his way by giving lectures in vacation time and at other times and has sent $200 a year home for the support of his family. Mr. Tsal is 35 years old, and was born in the town of Kwang Chi, in the province of Hu-peh. He returns well equipped to play a part in the unfolding drama of civilization of that far-away land. He has adopted the costume of the American while here and wears no queue. In fact, he says, this was a thing that was imposed upon the Chinese by the Tartars when they invaded his country, and was to distingush them as slaves. The Japanese, who lived upon the island, then a part of China, were so isolated that they did not come under the ban of the Tartars, and for that reason the custom never had a start in that country, and he says as the Chinese become civilized they discard the queue. TIES APPEAL TO SWALLOW. Wrongfully Convicted Man Sends Statement by Using a Unique Method. Rome.—The prayers of a prisoner on the island of Porto Lougour were answered when a petition written by him was placed in the hands of the minister of justice. A swallow was used by the prisoner to convey his plea, and the remarkable thing is that it, has at last reached the person for whom it was destined. Signor Jachola, keeper of the Campo lighthouse on the island of Elba, captured the bird. Noticing a scrap of paper which was attached to one of its feet, he removed it and found it was a letter written by Bruno Cataldo, who stated that he had been wrongfully convicted of murder and had been in prison since 1885. It added that, the swallow having entered through the grating of his cell, Cataldo had attached his appeal to its foot, hoping that it might be forwarded to the minister of justice or to the king. Signor Jachola forwarded the appeal. INDIAN IS A STENOGRAPHER Young Red Man, a Shorthand Writer, Has a Remarkable Accomplishment Muskogee, I. T.—There is in the employ of the Dawes commission a young Choctaw who is one the few stenographers in the United States who can take dictation in shorthand in three languages. This man's name is L. J. Collins. He speaks Choctaw and Chickasaw with as much fluency as he does English. He is about 30 years old. His father was a full-blood Choctaw Indian, and his mother a Chickasaw. While his father lived he learned to speak Choctaw. When he went to the Chickasaw country with his mother, that language seemed as easy for him as the Choctaw. When his mother died, he was picked up by a white family, and allowed to study with them under a governess. He worked his way through the Indian schools and finally finished a course in stenography.

NEW YORK Dynamite Gunboat Haa Been Refitted and Is Now a Torpedo Training Ship. Boston.—The United States ship Vesuvius, once the only dynamite gunboat in any navy, which in the Spanish war frightened many Spanish soldiers and sailors at Santiago, will go into commission again in a few days at the Charlestown navy yard. She is a dynamite cruiser no longer, her new designation being a torpedo training ship. She will be stationed at the torpedo station at Newport. About $200,000 has been expended at the local yard in refitting the ship for her new work. About all that remains of the old fittings are her hull and engines, and these have been thoroughly overhauled and are entirely new in many parts. The work of rebuilding and refitting has been in progress about a year. The ship, a "white elephant" of the navy, will at last be of some practical service, it is now said. She has been tled up at the Charlestown navy yard since her return from the campaign in Cuba. The navy department has been considering what could be done with the craft to make her of some service, and probably a hundred plans for converting her were considered before the torpedo instruction ship idea was decided upon.

Captured by Police in Opium Den and Thrown Among Paupers and Criminals in Pittsburg—Released After Four Days. Pittsburg, Pa.—The Allegheny county workhouse has for four days sheltered a real live millionaire unawares. If it is true that a man just released from it was as declared, Jerome Murillo, of New York and Peekskill-on-the-Hudson. New York is said to be his place of business, and Peekskill his residence. He started back home with Martin Gurrano, said to be his brother-in-law, but minus the raven locks which surmounted his head when he was convicted of being a "suspicious person." On June 19 Murillo. If it be he, was before Magistrate George A. Moke, in company with George Dudhill, Ruth Meredith and Ada Murillo, the last named claiming to be Murillo's wife. The quartette were arrested by Capt. Lawrence Bartley in a house where all were accused of smoking opium. A number of pawn tickets were found in the room. They were sentenced to pay a fine of $100 and costs each, with the alternative of 90 days in the workhouse. Having no money, they were compelled to go to the workhouse. When Gurrino, accompanied by his valet, reached the police station on the hunt for Murillo at the hearing said he was independently wealthy, but as he showed no money the officers set it down as a "pipe dream." Gurrino, however corroborated the story. He said that Murillo's father was for years one of the leading importers of Italian goods in New York, and did business at 27 Mulberry street. At his death, five years ago, he left Jerome an income of $60,000 a year, and the principal from which the income was derived when he reformed. Jerome is the only son, but he has five sisters, who are equally wealthy. The woman who claimed to be his wife has never been heard of by the rest of the family. She is still in the workhouse. Murillo left home a few days before his arrival here, saying he was going west to "rough it" for awhile. He was plentifully supplied with money. When he walked out of the workhouse he showed the effect of his confinement, and was manifestly grateful for his deliverance. Man Accepted as Juror Who Considerers Tariff and Excise Laws of Immoral Nature. Philadelphia. "I would refuse to convict a moonshiner who, in defending his still from a raiding party, should kill a revenue officer." I could not find a man guilty of smuggling, nor of selling liquor without a license. I consider the tariff and excise laws immoral, and hold the right to judge for myself of the morality or immorality of any law under which I would be asked to render a verdict." These were the unique statements made to Judge Holland by Samuel Milliken, a juror drawn in the United States courts. Milliken is well known as an anti-imperialist, first coming to prominence by his attacks on the Philippine policy. He is also prominent in socialistic labor circles. Milliken said he is an absolute free trader. Judge Holland refused to disqualify him from service, saying: "You are not disqualified by these opinions from serving in matters other than tariff or excise cases." In such cases, however, you will probably be excused from service." The unique juror says he is of the opinion that a jury has a moral right to judge the law first and the man afterward. He does not believe in what he terms "artificial crimes." under which he classes smuggling and selling liquor without a license. BULL BALKS AT GOOD MUSIC Charges Into Crowd When Organ Starts to Peal Hymn—Couldn't Soothe Savnge Breast. Philadelphia.—A rough shock was given to those who believe that "music hath charms to soothe the savage breast" when a large bull, taking offense at the strains from an organ in a Gospel wagon at Ridge avenue and Delmar street, lowered his head and swooped down upon the wagon. The consequence was a wild scatterlag of the crowd which had surrounded the wagon and the running away of the horse attached to the Gospel wagon. Hudson Gregory, a colored evangelist, was in charge of the wagon. The services had just begun when a bull, led by a small boy, came in view. At the first sound of the organ the bull pricked up his ears and at the second note he charged, breaking away from the boy who was leading him. The horse attached to the wagon took fright and ran down Ridge avenue. It ran three squares before it was stopped by Mounted Policeman Rensey, of the Roxborough station. The bull after scattering the crowd stopped and permitted himself to be captured. He'd Lose There. A distinguished German professor says cocoanut meat in its raw state is the natural food of man. But there are professors in Battle Creek, Mich., who can talk him blind on that proposition. Out of Tune. The labor union demands that the government raise the pay of its musicians and keep them away from competition with civilian bands. Somebody has struck a false note. Device Which Makes "Looping the Gap" Far More Exciting Hails from France. New York.-The St. Paul, of, the American line, which arrived recently, brought the apparatus for "lAuto Bolide," which is one of the sensations of a circus here. The latest thriller consists of "looping the gap" in an automobile, and it comes from the Folies Bergere, Paris. Mille. Mauricia de Tiers, the, young Frenchwoman performs the daring exploit. The framework supports the runways and is as high as a four-story building. It is of the finest steel and tubing and weighs many tons. The general shape of the apparatus suggests the hump of a buffalo. At the apex is a small platform. One side of the steel framework supports an incline that curves inward at its lower extremity like the tail of a monster letter "S." The other section of the LOOPING THE GAP (Latest Thrilling Device Imported to America from Paris) framework holds a curved runway that begins, half-moon shape, 50 feet in air, and straightens out into an easy incline as it approaches the ground. Between the extreme end of the "S" and the second incline there is a yawning chasm of 45 feet. It is this gap that the automobile must cross with its daring rider. And it must be accomplished with the machine literally upside down. For two-thirds the distance down the incline the machine remains upright. As it strikes the loop of the "S," however, its position is quickly reversed, and for a distance of 30 feet, although still following the curve of the incline, it is upside down. It is in that position when it leaves the "S"; it shoots through the air with terrific speed, with its wheels revolving in the air and pointing skyward, and with the automobilist riding head down; it strikes the second runway still in its inverted position, is quickly righted by the curve of the incline, and goes rushing earthward with the speed of an express train. So great is the momentum that the automobile runs a distance of 200 feet before its speed can be checked and the rider permitted to alight. LINEVITCH A BORN FIGHTER From the Day He Was 21 Until Present, Kuropatkin's Successor Has Been Constantly in War. St. Petersburg—Lieut. Gen. Linevitch, the commander of the Russian land and sea forces in the far east, is in the sixty-sixth year of his age. He was fighting in the Caucasus when he was 21, took part in the Russo-Turkish war of 1877-78, and has since then taken part in all of Russia's Asiatic campaigns. Linevitch was also prominent in the relief of the legations at Peking. He is called by his men Papa Linevitch, because of his extreme age, which might well entitle him to the sobriquet of "grandpa." Grizzled and gray, his long years of service have given him a countenance that bespeaks the typical fighter. He did not, as has often been stated, rise from the ranks. Such a thing is scarcely a possibility in the Russian army, most high commands being given only to officers of the guard.

COST OF LIVING HIGH PRICES OF ALL FOOD PRODUCTS ARE INCREASING. Bureau of Labor Issues a Bulletin Showing Increase in Recent Years—Steady Climb Since 1900. Washington.—Prices of fuel, clothing, and practically all food products are constantly increasing, according to a bulletin just issued by the bureau of labor, covering the period from 1890 to 1904. In the early '90s prices were very high, but in the last four years they have been steadily increasing, until now they are relatively higher than in 1892, just before the memorable financial and commercial depression. The period of lowest prices was from 1894 to 1897. The lowest price of beef was in April, 1896, when the best choice was quoted at $3.85 to $4.25 per hundred pounds. The highest price was the latter part of August, 1902, when the price touched $7.60 to $9 per hundred pounds. Corn was lowest in 1886 and highest in 1892. In a table of comparison, in which the average price for the years 1890 to 1899 is taken as the basis, 16 articles of farm production, including sheep, cattle, hay, hogs, hides and grains, are enumerated. All except flax seed increased over the average price from 1890 to 1899. The increase in prices in 1904 ranges from 7.8 per cent. on sheep and 9.7 per cent. on cattle to 32.6 per cent. on corn, 35.8 per cent. on oats, 38.3 per cent. on wheat, and the top increase of 96.2 per cent. on New York state hops. The average increase in 1904 in the wholesale price of farm products over the average for the years 1890 and 1899 is 26.2 per cent. Of 52 articles included under the head of food it is shown that the 1904 price of all but 14 articles was higher than the average price of the same from 1890 to 1899. Seventy articles under the head of cloth and clothing show that the average price for 1504 was 9.8 per cent, higher than the average from 1890 to 1899. The table on fuel and lighting places the average 1904 price at 32.6 per cent, higher than the 1890 to 1899 price. Workmen in. Pittsburg Cut Into Its First Graveyard, Making Interesting Find. Pittsburg, Pa —Workmen cutting Oliver avenue 20 feet wider found behind a stone wall quantities of human bones. W. E. Watson says that his grandfather, William Elchbaum, told him when a boy that here the French soldiers who defended Fort Duquesne buried their dead. They also interred the Indians who died within the fortifications with their own soldiers, and the first negro who died in Pittsburg was interred there. The dead were carried from the fort "by the path of the Virgin." as they were all good Catholics then, and the alley became known as Virgin alley, afterward being changed to Oliver avenue in honor of Harry Oliver, who owned all the property adjoining. There has been nothing found to mark the rank of the dead nor to tell what nationality they were. Not far from this spot Maj. Grant, who commanded a reconnoitering expedition from Gen. Forbes army, was defeated on a hill, now Grant street, and the bodies were dumped into holes in the graveyard, according to tradition. The British afterward used the same burying grounds as long as the garrison was kept in Pittsburg. WILL PROVIDES FOR CIGARS Spinster Leaves Estate to Sister on Condition That Father Be Allowed to Smoke Freely. Philadelphia. When the will of Charlotte D. Sage was admitted to probate one of the most curious clauses ever contained in a document of this kind was brought to light. The estate is valued at $350 and the will disposes of it in this wise: "I, bequeath to my beloved sister (if she promises to allow my father, Benjamin F Sage, of beloved memory, all the cigars he wants, also all the vests he likes to wear in the winter) all my personal and real estate I die possessed of or to which I shall be entitled at the time of my decease." Inquiry developed the fact that Miss Sage's father, who is an elderly man, has a fondness for cigars. Some time ago his eldest daughter refused to allow him to smoke the usual number on account of his health. He felt the loss of tobacco keenly. His fondness for fancy waistcoats amounted to a hobby Bars Music in Church. If an organ or a musical instrument of any kind is ever brought into the Christian church at Hartwick, Ia., the building and site will revert to the members of the congregation who oppose their installation. This is according to the terms of a deed to the property given the church by H. B. Smith. Before going to battle with the Japanese fleet Rojestvensky sent his pay chest to Chefoo, where it was placed in charge of the Russian consul. This seems to thoroughly dispose of the claim that Rojestvensky was taken by surprise. Jersey Not All Bad Jersey justice scores again in the decision by the supreme court of that state that the law prohibiting live pigeon shooting is valid. The state also scores for humanity. ```markdown ``` Montrose, Col.—One of the largest black bears ever killed in this country was brought in from the Climarron by Url Hotchkiss and Maurice Diehl. They conquered the big fellow only after a lively fight. It seems that Mr. Diehl had gone over into that country with a load of trout fry, intending to place them in Deep lake. He found the snow so deep he could not get in with the fish, so he started back to the Harris ranch. He heard Uri Hotchkiss, who was riding for cattle, shouting, so he went over the ridge to see what the trouble was. Uri and the bear were contemplating each other. Uri had wounded the big fellow, but, having but one cartridge left, he didn't feel like risking it until he had to do so. Just then the bear took a notion to do some hunting for himself, and though Uri is almost as big as a common bear, Bruin started after the hunter, and down the hill they went through the deep snow. Mr. Hotchkiss probably thought it would be a good plan to coax the wounded bear down near the wagons before he killed him, but he almost missed his guess, for the bear came on with a rush, and it looked, as though it was all day with Uri. Maurice pelted the bear with rocks in an effort to stop him, but he got pretty close to Uri, when the latter fired his last bullet, striking the brute in the end of the nose and rooseveltizing him in good shape. The bear was brought to Montrose. GROWS VINELESS POTATOES Montana, Genius. Can Supply New Tubers at Any Season in New Form. Great Falls, Mont.—A local man has produced potatoes without vines, and asserts that he is now able to supply new potatoes for the market at any season of the year. The inventor will not reveal the process in detail. He has conducted his experiments in a box four by eight feet, in which there is a steam coll for heating. He states that he has succeeded, after much experimenting, in perfecting a compound resembling soil that when heated is a fertile field for the development of plant life. In a layer of this compound he plants potato eyes, then another layer of the compound with more potato eyes, and so on until the box is filled. He claims that in this compound potatoes grow without any portion of the vine or sprout appearing above the surface; that all growth is in tubers, and that it is not necessary for either light or air to reach the potatoes at any stage of their growth, elements in the compound serving the purpose of oxygen. At first the potatoes, when exposed to the air, rotted quickly, but now this has been overcome, he says, and his experiment is an unqualified success after many years. Those who saw the box he exhibited showing potatoes in varying stages of growth were greatly impressed with the "spuds." A Chicago man has offered him $100,000 for his inventions, he declares. BIRD OUSTS CONGREGATION Baltimore, Md.—An English mocking bird wandered into Hagerstown, Md., and had quite a time. It attacked first an apple in the street in front of a fruit store on West Franklin street, and when some sparrows interfered, knocked them right and left. They formed a chattering ring and speculated on the new champion. The bird then flew off and entered Christ Reformed church by the bay window. Rev. Charles Shaffer of Thurmont. was reading his text, when the bird lit on the edge of the Bible. He gently waved it off, and it flew down to the edge of the pulpit and came back and stood on the text. The reverend gentleman read, though, and the bird flew to the top of the organ and sat awhile, and then came back and perched right over the preacher until he was through with his sermon. It seemed very attentive. When the organ opened it flew to that and enjoyed the music, and, finally, after a comprehensive flight over the congregation, turned to the chandelier. There it was when the congregation went out. Mr. Spiegel went to the church and easily captured it. Battler Near University. Rattlesnakes in large numbers have been reported as infecting the all slopes just behind the University of California grounds, and there is a belief that the record breaking rattler that was killed a few-months ago was the mother of this large brood of young snakes. Rats Do Great High Wire Act. At Sligo, Me., a crowd watched nearly 50 rats cross high above the ground upon an electric wire from the town hall to a flour mill more than 200 yards away. The rats used their tails as the professional walker on the lofty wire uses his balancing pole, and not one made a misstep. Ruling of Judge. Down in New Jersey a judge has decided that a man must pay the bills contracted by his wife before their marriage. If this kind of law holds good some cautious men will insist hereafter in having a look at the receipts before starting for the church. VIOLET RAYS SAID TO RESTORE SIGHT. Interesting Experiments with Electric Current in New Form—How the Treatment Is Applied New York.—A series of interesting experiments with the violet ray as a cure for blindness has disclosed that electricity in this weird and strangely beautiful form has possibilities before undreamed of. Heretofore it has been used chiefly to destroy bacilli and malignant, diseased tissue, but this new experiment applied it to the optic nerves of a woman who had been pronounced incurably blind by the specialists in one of the eye and ear hospitals of this city. As a result of the treatment the patient, Mrs. Charlotte Walker, is able to read the headlines on a newspaper, see the hands on a watch and pursue the ordinary vocations of life. The fact that the nerves responded to the treatment proves that they were not entirely atrophied, as supposed by the physicians that administered treatment in the hospitals. Whether the sight can be entirely restored will depend, according to the experimenter, Dr. S. S. Yallan, on the patient's general condition and the cause of the trouble. If there be deep-seated organic disease, affecting the entire system, the cure may not be perfected and the improvement is likely to be only temporary. The electricity may be generated by a static machine or by a coll, the static machine being used by Dr. Yallan. Mrs. Walker sits beside it on an insulated platform. The electrode is a glass vacuum tube with an expanded bulb at the end and an insulated handle, or one having two bulbs, this being used on both eyes simultaneously. The physician applies the bulb to the temples, to the eyeballs, to the back of each car and over the spine and back in order to reach the cervical nerves that control the eyes. While the treatment is in progress the glass bulb is more beautiful than any flower, the ray changing from pale violet to deep purple. At the same time the patient experiences a prickling sensation more or less intense, according to the strength of the current. "The patient was brought to me for the experiment with the violet ray by a physician in the hospital in which she had been pronounced incurable," said Dr. Yallan. "She was about 30 years old, had been blind two years and could not or would not give any history of her case that could be of any ald in treating her. There was evidence that the nerves of the eye were entirely atrophied. The woman also has rheumatic pains, which complicated her case and showed the general system was not in a healthy condition. "After taking the violet ray treatment for a month she announced to me joyfully: 'Oh, I am going to get my sight back again! I am seeing fine! I can see people on the street. I can take care of the lamps.' Soon she was doing considerable housework, being able to see her way about the house." Butte, Mont.--"Any man who pays his liquor bill and is not too bolsterous is entitled to get drunk once a month," said Police Judge Warren, in acquitting Luther Wilson, charged with being a periodical drunkard. The prosecuting attorney cited the fact that Wilson had been a regular offender during the past year, and asked that he be given a fail sentence. The prisoner argued that he had never been arrested twice in the same month, and expressed the opinion that any man was entitled to a "quiet jag" once a month. The point was well taken by Judge Warren, who said: "I am of the opinion any man who does not create a disturbance or make a nuisance of himself is entitled to get drunk once each 30 days if he cares to. You may go. Wilson, but don't let your jag dates conflict, for if you are arrested twice in the same month you will be punished. Take my advice and stick to the water wagon until after the Fourth of July." BECOMES BALD IN A WEEK Young Man Loses His Hair in Remarkable Way and the Doctors Are Puzzled. Connersville. Ind.—Clarence Maple was arrested for alleged assault. Maple is a married man and has a family. Since his incarceration in jail he has lost his hair and now is as bald as the average man of 70 years, the only semblance of hair on his head, being a small growth near the front. When placed in jail Maple possessed a heavy head of hair. Instances have been known of a person's hair turning suddenly white when suffering from fright or grief, but the present instance is believed to be the first on record of the kind. A physician whose attention was called to the matter could not account for it, but said it was of great interest to medical science. War Must Go On. A dispatch from Gunshu pass says the Russian generals have adopted a bellicose attitude and declare that the war must go on. Comparatively few Russian generals get near enough to the firing lines to be hit. IF YOU WANT A PLACE To Board ADVERTISE THE WASHINGTON & HOLME'S Hotel 333 Va. Ave., S. W.
