THE NIAGARA MOVEMENT NEW NATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR RACE WEAL LAUNCHED AT BUFFALO. DUBOIS AT ITS HEAD. VOL. XXV NO. VIII --- A national conference of colored men called by Prof. W. E. B. DuBois, of Atlanta, Georgia, author of the "Souls of the Black Folk," with representatives present from fourteen States, which has been convening her since Tuesday morning, adjourned this morning. A national organization "was formed called "The Niagara Movement," with a General Secretary, a General Treasurer, and an Executive Committee, composed of State Secretaries, who are in turn the heads of State-Commitees. Various lines of work for the welfare of the colored people were mapped out and our national committees were selected for each line of endeavor. A short platform was adopted espousing the principles of equal educational, civil, economic, and political opportunities and rights, and advocating freedom of criticism, oppositit to a subsidized race press, and a united effort to realize these ideals under a wise, pure and courageous leadership. Professor DuBois was elected General Secretary and George H. Jackson, Esq., of Cincinnati, Ohio, Treasurer. On Thursday a pleasure trip was taken to Niagara Falls. The conference addressed the following address to the country: THE NIAGARA MOVEMENT. Address to the Country. The members of the conference, known as the Niagara Movement, assembled in annual meeting in Buffalo, July 11th, 12th and 13th, 1905, congratulate the Negro-Americans on certain undoubted evidences of progress in last decade, particularly the increase of intelligence, the buying of property, the checking of crime, the uplift in home life, the advance in literature and art, and the demonstration of constructive ability in the conduct of great religions, economic and educational institutions. At the same time we believe that this class of American citizens should protest emphatically and continually against the curtailment of their political rights. We believe in manhood affrage; we believe that no man is so good, intelligent or wealthy as to be entrusted wholly with the welfare of his neighbor. We believe also in protest against the curtailment of our civil rights. All American citizens have the right of equal treatment in places of public entertainment according to their behavior and their deserts. We especially complain against the denial-of-equal opportunities to us economic life; in the rural districts of the South this amounts to peonage and virtual slavery; all over the South it tends to crush labor and small business enterprises; and everywhere American prejudice, helped often by iniquitous laws, is making it more difficult for Negro-Americans to earn a decent living. Common school education should be free to all American children and compulsory. High school training should be adequately provided for all, and college training should be the monopoly of no class or race in any section of our common country. We belive that in defense of its own institutions, the United States should aid common school education, particularly in the South, where the Negro-Americans are almost wholly without such provisions. We favor well-equipped trade and technical schools for the training of artisans, and the need of adequate and liberal endowment for a few institutions of higher education must be patent to sincere well-wishers of the race. We demand upright judges in courts, juries selected without discrimination on account of color and the same measure of punishment and and the same efforts at reformation for black as for white offenders. We need orphanages and farm schools for dependent children, juvenile reformatories for delinquents, and the abolition of the dehumanizing convict lease system. We note with alarm the evident retrogression in this land, of sound public opinion on the subject of manhood rights, republican government and human brotherhood, and we pray God that this nation will not degenerate into a mob of boasters and oppressors, but rather return to the faith of the fathers, that all men were created free and equal, with certain enalienable rights. We plead for health—for an opportunity to live in decent houses and localities, for a chance to rear our children in physical and moral cleanliness. We hold up for public execration the conduct of two opposite classes of men: the practice among employers of importing ignorant Negro-American laborers in emergencies, and then neither affording them protection nor permanent employment; and the practice of labor unions of proscribing and boycotting and oppressing thousands of their fellow-toilers, simply because they are black. These methods have accentuated and will accentuate the war of labor and capital, and they are disgraceful to both sides. We refuse to allow the impression to remain that the Negro-American assents to, inferiority, is submissive under oppression and apologetic before insults. Through helplessness we may submit, but the voice of protest of ten million Americans must never cease to assail the ears of their fellows, so long as America is unjust. Any discrimination based simply on race or color is barbarous, we care not how hallowed it be by custom, expediency, or prejudice. Differences made on account of ignorance, immorality, poverty or disease are legitimate methods of fighting evil, and against them we have no word of protest; but discriminations based simply and solely on physical peculiarities, place of birth, color or skin, are relics of that unreasoning human savagery of which the world is and ought to be thoroughly ashamed. We protest against the Jim-crow car, since its effect is and must be to make us pay first-class fare for third-class accommodations, render us open to insults and discomfort and to crucify wantonly our manhood, womanhood and self-respect. We regret that this nation has never seen fit adequately to reward the black soldiers who in its five wars have defended their country with their blood, and yet have been systematically denied the promotions which their abilities deserve. And we regard as unjust, the exclusion of black boys from the military and navy training schools. We urge upon Congress the enactment of appropriate legislation for securing the proper enforcing of those articles of freedom, the thirteenth and fifteenth amendments of the Constitution of the United States. We repudiate the monstrous doctrine that the oppressor should be the sole authority of the rights of the oppressed. The Negro race in America stolen, ravished and degraded, struggling up through difficulties and oppression, needs sympathy and receives criticism; needs help and is given hindrance, needs protection and is given mob-violence, needs justice and is given chartity, needs leadership and is given cowardice and apology, needs bread and is given stone. This nation will never stand justified before God until these things are changed. Especially are we surprised and astonished at the recent attitude of the Church of Christ—on the increase of a desire to bow to racial prejudice, to narrow the bounds of human brotherhood, and to segregate black men in some outer sanctuary. This is wrong, unchristian and disgraceful to the twentieth century civilization. Of the above grievances we do not hesitate to complain, and to complain loudly and insistently. To ignore, overlook, or apologize for these wrongs, is to prove ourselves unworthy of freedom. Persistent manly agitation is the way to liberty, and toward this goal the Niagara Movement has started and asks the co-operation of all men of all races. At the same time we want to acknowledge with deep thankfulness the help of our fellowmen form the abolitionist down to those who today (Continued on Fifth Page.) THE LORD OF THE RING HON. JOHN A MERRITT, CITY POSTMASTER, Who Will see that Colored Men Receive a Square Deal. What I Saw And Heard There are several applicants for assistant prosecuting attorney at the police court. Quite a number of candidates are in the field, but none have announced themselves as yet. The claim of the colored attorney is that he should have representation in both branches of the police court.. Attorneys Peyton, Jones and one or two others state emphatically that they don't want the place. Attorneys Gray, Cobb, Gregory and Horner would not object being appointed. District Attorney Baker is a Maryland Republican and the colored lawyers state if he does not appoint a colored man none will ever be appointed. Tom Fortune, who has but little love for department clerks, will no doubt regret them to discontinue their subscription to his paper. Secretary Shaw will investigate the "hat box" and "Jim Crow" corner at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Just why all colored men are placed in this particular spot, I am HON. JOHN A MERRITT Who Will see that Colord unable to state. No one believes that Public Printer Palmer has committed any offense. The country has too much faith in his honesty and integrity. It is hoped that the colored people will see the necessity of patronizing their own places that don't discriminate. I called in the saloon at the corner of 7th and F streets a few days ago and called for a glass of sarsaparilla. I was told that it was fifty cents a bottle. I was with a friend and he remarked to the bar tender that he didn't care about the price. The bar tender reluctantly poured out the drinks after which he was handed ten cents. He took one glass and threw it upon the floor. Of course I didn't care about that. We walked out unmolested. This is not the only place in town that acts as this individual. I am glad to state that we have places of our own now in which we can be served in first-class style, not only saloons, but first-class drug stores. My friend Lankford has a first-class building now. He means to succeed in his business as an architect. The Board of Education is doing a good work for the public schools. I have great confidence in Mr. Bundy. He is the people's benefactor and has done a great deal for the graduates. The people are satisfied with him. FAIRPLAY. The condition of Mrs. Grant, wife of the Bishop, remains unchanged. She was stricken with paralysis about three weeks ago and has been unconscious the greater part of the time since. Her recovery is doubtful.—The Indianapolis World. Negro education in the South is largely in Negro hands. The results will depend chiefly upon efficiency and enthusiasm.—The African American Presbyterian.

Cleveland Beattie, president of the Blue Ridge railway and cashier of the First National Bank of Greenville, S. C., died at his home last Saturday at that place. A shock from an earthquake was felt at Portland, Me., last Saturday. It happened at 5.10 A. M. and lasted about ten seconds. The trembling awoke many people from their sleep. It is said that the President has appointed John Hicks, of Wisconsin, to be United States Minister to Chile. The National Waterways Commission closed July fourteenth.

Manley, 13th Infantry, who have been graduated from the United States Military Academy have been told to report to the chairman of the Isthmian Canal Commission in this city. Plans are being made for the erection of a large immigrant station on Ellis Island in New York harbor. San Francisco is to have a detention station that will accommodate a large number of immigrants. It is stated that the State of New Hampshire wants to participate in entertaining the Russians and Japanese peace envays when they will hold their conference in Uortsmouth, N. H., next month. President Roosevelt received many distinguished callers at Oyster Bay last week. The seventy-fifth annual convention of the America Institute of Instruction closed last week at Portland, Maine. There were over a thousand members present. Several addresses were made also. The successor of Count Cassini, Baron Rosen, went to New York last Tuesday to present his credentials to the President. On last Thursday Mr. Pierce accompanied Baron Rosen to Oyster Bay, when he presented his letters to the President. GOVERNMENT CLERKS Mr. P. S. Wister, the Washington correspondent of the Pioneer Press, has this to say in reply to Mr. Fortune of the New York Age: T. Thomas Fortune has lately acquired a mania for attacking government clerks, but forgets that government clerks started him in the newspaper business, and, I take it, that he also remembers that one of the men inconvenienced himself to the extent of placing a mortgage upon his property to do it. Does Tom remember? It seems that if Tom had remembered the party making the sacrifice would now be in his own home; but, alas! it is not so. T. Thomas speaks of a failure in life: We are not very clear as to what constitutes a failure. But we are inclined to believe that a man who "drinks excessively," "subsidizes" his newspaper, in case he should be an editor, in order to keep bread, is a failure in life. For a man to sell his convictions, or trifle them for filthy lucre is worse than a failure. He is a moral coward, a man to be shunned, to be marked as one who at the time trust is being placed in him "will sell out." Mr. Fortune, acting "mouthpiece." proclaims Booker's hate for higher institutions of learning, and says very erroneously that there were no colored men in the senior and freshman classes of Harvard this year. He went on to say that about the same condition exists at Howard University; that very few boys from the District of Columbia want higher education. He then proceeded to say get it, and get the "tech." What did you get, Tom? You seem to have prospered. But you may have an inner consciousness that your way has not been right, therefore you advise. T. Thomas, it would seem wise for which are always odious, and conduct you to eliminate the gross comparisons a clean sheet, in so far as a subsidized sheet can be clean. Mr. L. M. Hershaw is one of the brainiest men of our race. He is a man who believes in something, and does not hesitate to say it. He is not for sale, is a man of clean life, has a lovely home, and sheds the light of good cheer and hope wherever he goes. When he speaks he says something, and if the editor of The Age could stay in his presence for a short time he would be an improved man. As it is, the editor of The Age is working out his subsidy, and cannot therefore spend time outside the subsidy zone. All honor to L. M. Hershaw; he is a man and a patriot, a true citizen, and all that can be said of him is that he is one of nature's noblemen. BERKELEY SPRINGS AND RETURN.

The Bee last week briefly stated the harshships that the colored employees had to undergo at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. There is strictly "Jim-Crow" corner in that department for colored men. This "Jim-Crow" corner is designated as the "rag house." The thermometer during this kind of weather ranges from one hundred and ten to one hundred and twenty. How the employees stand it The Bee is unable to state. If they refuse to work they are discharged. What must they do under the circumstances? There are ten mangles or drying machines in this "Jim-Crow" corner. There are six drying boxes, one new large drying machine which is too hot for human beings to stand behind it. There are two operators in the front of this machine and one behind it who sees that the rags are properly taken off. This individual has nothing on but a thin undershirt. He is from the North and was applicable for the position after having passed the necessary examination. The Bee representative who called at the department a few weeks ago had to go through a great deal of red tape before he was allowed to visit the hot box. The place is suffocating and just who is responsible for the condition of affairs in this particular place The Bee is unable to state. The white guide who accompanied The Bee man to this place had to admit himself that it was too hot for the men. The foreman of the "rag house" is a colored man and it was said by one of the employees that he is a first-class hand, and while he has authority he doesn't exercise it. He allows himself to be imposed upon by white understrappers. The man who was formerly the foreman of this rag house was the boss indeed. He would do no work, but he would see that the men worked regularly and long. The colored foreman doesn't only work hard, but he sees that the colored men under him work. The Bee man also saw that the fifteen or twenty minutes that were allowed heretofore to the men, to enable them to stop work and dry themselves, had been taken from them. It is only necessary for the readers of The Bee to visit this "rag house" and be convinced. At the time The Bee representative visited this place there was only one white person to be seen and he was the watchman who had been designated to escort The Bee man to the place, and he said that it was too warm to go in the "rag house." He stood outside while The Bee man made an investigation and enough perspiration fell off of him to boil a piece of tough beef. Chief Meredith certainly can't know that such a place exists in his bureau. He is not the man to allow a "Jim-Crow" corner to exist in his department. Someone else must certainly supervise this department. Now that The Bee has called his attention to the condition of affairs, it is hoped that he will remedy the evil at once. BISHOP SMITH SUSPENDED. *(From the Memphis Citizen.)* Special to the Citizen: Atlanta, Ga., Thursday.—Bishop Henry McNeal Turner, senior Bishop of the African M. E. Church, received a cablegram from South Africa signed by Rev. Tantsi and others, announcing the suspension of Bishop Charles Spencer Smith. The cause of the suspension was not stated, but a letter containing full details will follow the cablegram. Bishop Smith was assigned to South Africa by the General Conference one year ago, and it seems he has had considerable trouble ever since. H came to America about six months ago, at which time a special meeting of the Council was called and after hearing from him he was ordered back to the field of his labors. Bishop Turner is much worried and has sent an official note to each of the Bishops. The cablegram asks that another Bishop be sent immediately to take charge of the work, and it may be necessary for a special session of the Council to be called. Bishop Turner refused to discuss the matter with a correspondent of the Citizen, saying that he could not make it public until the Bishops had passed on the matter and then for want of definite information. CHANGES BRIDES TO SUIT. ‘Widow of 38, Failing Grcom, He Pro- poses 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, @ 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 uot to be cheat! ed in this way. The refreshments had arrived, and it was decided to go on with the reception. So they did, when Mr. Dorer de vided to marry a Miss Higgins, and Proposed before the company dis persed.’ He was accepted, ‘This settled, it was up to Mr. Doret to secure another license. Taking the one he had, he waited at the door o! the courthouse until the clerk arrived He wanted the names changed, bu this could not be done, so he got an other. Mr. Dorer and Miss Higgins wen! to the parsonage of the Starr Method jst church and were married by th pastor, Rev. G. W. Haddaway. Mi Oler acted as best man, and Miss Alfc Cassell was bridesmaid. Upon returning to the home of Mr Oler the wedding party entered upo! another reception. Mrs. Dorer is only 18 years of age and the bridegroom says he is ver: well satisfied with the change. FLYING SNAKE IN VIRGINIA. Reptile with Wings, That Fed on Birds, Is Killed in King George. . Comorn, Va.—A most remarkable and uncommon “fying snake” that was cap- tured 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 thé air, presenting the appearance of am ordinary snake at- tached 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 suit. ed 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 un timely end, fs one of the finest planta tions in King George, being situated on the banks of the Rappahannock. It is conjectured by some-tbat the “fly. Ing snake” may have come from an impenetrable marsh of the river of some neighboring creek. But this theory Is not accepted by many, for, as far as cau be learned, nothing bearing a similarity to this serpent was ever before seen or heard of anywhere In this section of the eountrr. 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 maiden, was married recently to Joe Sparski. At all Polish weddings it is a cusfom 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 en- durance 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 count- ed, 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 wom- en, members of the Bachelor Girls’ club, claiming Corry, Pa. as their bome, arrived In Buffalo for a whole sale marriage at the Robinson hotel. ‘Their ages range from 24 to 28 years, In 1900 they organized the Bachelor Girls’ clus 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 th become brides in a bunch, which arrangement was agreed to by thelr suitors. The young women arrived in Butf- falo and there were married. Marry on Merry-Go-Round, “In St. Louls a few days ago a man and‘a woman were married on a merry- go-round while it was in operation.

Wrongtully Convicted Man Sends Statement by Using a Unique Method. Rome.—tThe 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 milnister 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, cap- tured the bird. - Not{cing 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 mur- der and had been in prison since 1885. It added that, the swallow having ,entered through the grating of his ‘cell, Cataldo had attached bis appeal to its foot, hoping that it might be forwarded to the minister of justice or to the king.

Bostou—The United States ship Vesuvius, once the only dynamite gun. boat 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 stattoned at the torpedo station at Newport. About $200,000 has been -expended at the local yard Im refitting the ship for her new work. About all that reo. mains of the old fittings are her hull and engines, and these bave been thor. oughly overhauled and are entirely new in many parts. The work of re- building .and refitting bas been fn 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 tied 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 be. fore the torpedo Instruction ship Ides was decided upon. ~ | Rav LNwADS, : AL TINCKE ath, ¢ 10 JBE""' katroap.

New York.—Judice McCall, of the state supreme court, has handed down a decision which should be halled with joy by married men who work hard and who are too tired to take their wives to the theater in the evening. He says that no blame can attach to them if they refuse to accompany their better halves to places of amusement under those circumstances. The decision was made in dismissing the complaint in the suit for separation brought by Lillian Blum against her husband, Jacob Blum. The defendant is the head of the New York Trouser company. In her complaint the wife alleges cruelty and abandonment. Louis Steckler, counsel for the husband, denied that the charges were true, and in the trial in April brought witnesses to prove that the defendant had always been a model husband. The wife asked for $15 per week alimony, which is also denied. One of the charges of ill-treatment made by the wife was that her husband did not accompany her to places of amusement or recreation and had prevented her from taking any vacation. As to this charge, the opinion says: "This defendant is an exceptionally hardworking man. The hours of each day's labor were from 8:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. and as late one day in each night, thus prohibiting him personally from attending entertainments or escorting his family to places of amusement; but from that fact it is difficult to see that any censure should be meted out to him for his alleged neglect of the plaintiff in that direction." CUPID'S CABLE CODE WINS. Love's Underocean Messages Are Followed by a Wedding in Romance of Three Continents. New York.—A romance involving use of code of deep sea cables, with ends in British Columbia, Australia, and Europe, has culminated in the marriage at Sound Beach, Conn., of Miss Daisy Bladworth and Paul Sidney Couldrey. The bride is a daughter of George H. Bladworth, head of the pattern-making company in New York, and the bridegroom the junior member of the Liverpool firm of Alexander, Hild, Stewart & Co. Miss Bladworth and Mr. Couldrey first met aboard the Cunarder Umbria in May, 1904. Before the couple parted it was arranged that they should meet and return to America together. He had proposed several times, but to no purpose. When he went to British Columbia his oft repeated question was still a matter of trouble, but he had a secret cable and telegraph code which he and Miss Bladworth had agreed upon. Then the cables and the telegraph came in for their part of the courtship. The mails were not rapid enough for Couldrey when it became a necessity for him to hasten from British Columbia to Australia last winter. He informed Miss Bladworth of the fact by wire, and also sent a pleading request for an affirmative answer to his off put question. It arrived by the secret cable. COOKING INVENTIONS LEAD Nearly 3,600 Contravirances Have Been Patented in England in Past 48 Year- Umbrellas Rank Second. London.—The classification of sealed patents at the patent office rendered necessary by the act which came into operation on January 1 last has shown that the inventiveness of the human mind can be classified in 146 sections. Cooking, it appears, has brought forth in 45 years 3,775 patented inventions, an average of 73 every year. Umbrellas have been the subject of 1,475 inventions, or an average of 30 per annum. Hate run umbrellas very close, with 1,411 specifications since 1835. Invention runs in periodic grooves. Thus 1896 and 1897 reflected the enormous development in cycles. Now the motor vehicle industry is engaging many ingenious minds. So marked is the development of this industry that the total number of British inventions in this department has doubled since 1896. For half a century the uppermost problem, as indicated by the trend of invention, has been that of locomotion. That inventiveness is on the increase is evidenced by the fact that last year 15,659 patents were sealed. Ten years ago the number was less than 12,000, and in 1854 the total only reached 3,721. LIMBURGER TOO LOUD. 'Hazleton, Pa., Board of Health Satis factorially Solves an Annoying Problem. Wilkesbarre, Pa.-The board of health of Hazleton has successfully wrestled with an unusual and amusing condition. Neighbors had complained of the odor of the cheese store kept by Alexander Kirsch. They said the limburger and other brands were so bad that they could not stand it. Kirsch contended that he had a right to keep and sell cheese. City Attorney J. H. Bigelow declared the business legitimate and should be permitted if it does not cause injury to health and property. The board of health then visited the store and found it in good condition, but odorous. It was finally agreed to have an air shaft erected in the rear of the store and to keep the front window open, causing a draft to drive the odor into the air shaft and dissipate it high in the air. Auto Not at Fault It isn't the automobile that ought to be abolished, says the Memphis Commercial-Appeal, it's the rich chauffer. FARMERS ARE RUSHING INTO THE BANKING BUSINESS. Nearly All Institutions in the State Started During Last Three Years Have Had Capital Furnished by Tillers of the Soil. Lincoln, Neb.—A computation made by the state banking board the other day discloses the fact that the majority of the stockholders in the 521 state banks of Nebraska, meaning the banks in the smaller towns, are farmers. Practically all the banks started in the past three years have had their capital furnished by farmers. The high prices that wheat and corn have brought and the bountiful character of the hay crops have made big money for most of the farmers. More of them than ever have returned from active life and turned over their farms to the boys in the past year. At the agricultural bureau it is estimated that $25 an acre is a fair average of production for most of the farms, and this does not take into account the money for poultry, eggs and butter fat, which is usually sufficient to maintain a family. Some of the money has gone into blooded stock, some has found its way east through being deposited in banks that have been lending their surplus to New York, Chicago and Boston, and there is a whole lot that has evidently been hidden away. The bank commissioner of Kansas is quoted as saying that while there is no way of getting accurate figures, he has reason to believe that there is as much money hidden in袜子和 under carpets or buried or carried as is on deposit, and Commissioner Royce, of Nebraska, agrees with this opinion. He has noticed that where farmers have started banks, the cash on hand or on deposit in other banks does not often show signs of decrease, and the only explanation is that the money deposited has been dug out of hiding places. The last quarterly report showed $107,000,000 on deposit in all of the banks of the state. Including national. If as much more is in pocketbooks or buried this would give a per capita of nearly $210 in Nebraska. Several instances are related of how young men of ambition in Lincoln and Omaha, with training in the banking business, have gone out into some country town and induced active and retired farmers to furnish the principal portion of their capital. They were unknown in most cases to the men to whom they applied, but their recommendations and the profitable character of the business secured for them all the money they needed. One successful young man said that he found the farmers fairly itching to get into the banking business. One of these banks, started out in southwestern Nebraska, numbers 14 former popuists in its list of stockholders. They are all republicans now, and they find nothing so reprehensible about the banking business. Country banking has become very profitable. Six per cent, dividends are the smallest reported. In one case, where the owner was manager, and combined real estate and stock buying with banking, a clear gain of 55 per cent, was noted in two years. Fifteen and 20 per cent, dividends are common. INSURED AGAINST THIEVES New York Hotel Proprietors Devise Plan to Protect Themselves on Patrons' Losses. New York—Proprietors of prominent hotels in 'Manhattan. Including' the Waldorf-Astoria, have hit upon a new scheme to protect themselves against the many robberies of patrons that have been committed of late and that seem to be constantly growing in number. 'While the plan, will not aid in the apprehension of the thieves, which has always been hard to accomplish. It will guarantee the hotel men against losses, which in several instances. It is said, have amounted to from $10,000 to $20,000 a year. With the cooperation of several of the larger insurance companies a system to be known as "landlords' liability insurance" has been framed, by which, upon payment of premiums, hotelkeepers receive policies for any amount they may see fit to ask. The plan, of course, is along the lines of burglary and other insurance, except that in this case it meets a peculiar hardship by returning money that has been already paid out without consideration. Under the existing law a hotel proprietor is responsible to each patron to the amount of $500, when the patron has been robbed in the place, and as in a majority of cases the booty is not recovered the amount is a clear loss to the hotelkeeper. Under the new plan the insurance will be regulated by the number of rooms in a hotel. Prophecy of the Scorchers. Mother Shipton's prophecy was long held to be a remarkable forecast, but it is now pointed out that Nahum some thousands of years ago outdid her in his vision of the modern automobile. In Nahum, il., 4. appear these words: "The charlots shall rage in the streets; they shall josie one against another in the broad ways; they shall seem like torches; they shall run like the lightnings." Hens Recover Stolen Money. Hens at Baraboo, Wis., the other day scratched up $1,000 in notes, bills and other negotiable paper which was stolen from the Prairie du Sac bank in a robbery two years ago. The papers had evidently been brought to Baraboo and hidden under an elevator in an old bill book, where they remained till unearthed and scratched into the street beside the elevator. SHOWS GOOD GROWTH ENGLAND'S TRADZ WITH HER COLONIES INCREASING. While Exports to Foreign Countries Decrease, Report shows Those to Possessions of Empire Grow Steadily. London.—A striking development in England's colonial trade is shown in a board of trade blue book recently issued. Since 1900 there has been a continuous increase in the exports from the United Kingdom to the colonies, while imports have recovered in a remarkable manner from the setback encountered in 1901 and 1902, and are now £15,000,000 better than in the former year. The total trade of the United Kingdom and the colonies was just under £232,000,000 last year, and of the increase £14,000,000 is represented by imports of articles of food and drink. Imports from British possessions have risen in these five years to the value of £10,377,000, and England's exports to them have gone up steadily by £17,500,000. A more striking fact is that England's export trade to the colonial part of the empire is increasing while her export trade to foreign countries is decreasing. The volume of imports from foreign countries, as distinguished from the colonies, keeps on steadily growing. Since 1900 it has increased to £17,583-980, while British exports to foreign countries, though higher in value in 1904 than in any of the preceding three years, are still £7,983,951 below the total reached in 1900. England has been drawing less of its raw material from the colonies since 1900, when the value was a little more than £510,000,000, while it is now less than £485,000,000. The countries, however, have been supplying the home country with more food and drink, the amount under this head having increased from £42,570,000 in 1900 to £54,440,000 last year. An increase in the manufactured goods supplied in competition with home work, from £128,270,000 to £165,100,000 in five years, has gone entirely to foreign countries. Analyzing on corresponding lines the total export of goods manufactured in the United Kingdom, an increase from £228,800,000 to £243,200,000 in five years, is found, but it is the colonial consumers England has to thank for the whole of it. Colonial requirements of home manufactures have risen from £81,940,000 in 1900 to £85,370,000 last year, while the requirements of foreign countries have slightly diminished, the exact fall in value being £1,400,000, or from £140,577,000 to £145,410,000, but the value was much below the latter total in 1903, 1912 and 1901. WAR CN PRAIRIE DOGS Ferrets Are Exterminating Animals Which Have Become a Pest in Kansas. Topcha, Kan.—Residents of western counties of Kansas say that an animal known as the Black-footed ferret is putting an end to the prairie dog pest. Instances are cited by D. E. Lantz, field agent of the State Agricultural college, in a recent report on Kansas mammals. The ferret made its appearance in Kansas only about two years ago, but Mr. Lantz had found instances where five or six of them drove all the prairie dogs out of a county. Mr. Lantz says of the ferret: "It is much larger than an ordinary weasel, has a very long body and is of a solled, yellowish-brown color, with a black patch on the forehead, including the eyes and extending downward to the tip of the nose. It is closely furred, and its feet are covered with hair above and below. The feet and legs are black, as is also about two inches of the tip of the tail. The ferret is found in the western third of Kansas and as far out as the Rocky mountains. Its food consists of rabbits and prairie dogs. It has come to be known in the western part of the state as the prairie-dog ferret." KING OF LOBSTERS CAUGHT Monster of the Crustacean Family Tips the Beam at More Than Twenty-Five Pounds. Boston.—The "king of lobsters" has arrived at Commercial wharf from Dennyville, Me., consigned to James A. Young & Co., wholesale lobster dealers. It is the largest ever seen in Boston, and tips the scales at 25½ pounds. Lobstermen place two more pounds to this weight as an allowance for shrinkage, as the lobster has been out of water for two days. Photographed beside an ordinary-sized lobster of 2½ pounds and 10½ inches long, the king looks like the monarch he certainly is. Mr. Young, who is an expert on lobsters, places the king's age at five years, as it is evident that he shed his shell last year. There are no barnacles on the lobster, showing it to be comparatively an infant of the crustacean family. It is believed that, if allowed two years more in the sea, it would have weighed 35 pounds. King Lobster was sold to Shattuck & Jones of Faneuil Hall market, who will have him mounted at an expense of $15. The Supreme Test. A European scientist has discovered that fear is caused by a germ which may be killed by inoculation. He will probably find that his theory is wrong when he inoculates a woman and then turns a mouse loose in the room. The Only Ripple A shortage in the Maine spruce gum crop is reported. Otherwise the affairs of the nation seem to be going as smoothly as could be expected at this time. GUANO FROM SALT LAKE. Thousands of Tons of the Fertilizer in Sight on the American Dead Sea Salt Lake City.—It is not generally known that the Great Salt Lake incloses a couple of guano islands. It is not known that thousands of pelicans, gulls and sand cranes make these isolated places their homes, nor that Salt Lake business men are figuring on making these guano beds sources of considerable wealth. But it is nevertheless true. Thomas C. Wallace, of Riverside, who is one of the best-known fertilizer men in the country, came here with the Los Angeles party and has returned from an inspection of Gunnison and Hat islands. These are reached by launch and are 45 and 62 miles, respectively, from the beach at Saltair. He was accompanied by John E. Cox, who represented Thomas R. Cutler and others who own the islands, and by Charles Kisler, who had charge of the launch. Two days were spent in the trip and inspection, and the result is that the guano will soon be placed upon the market. It is said there are from 250,000 to 300,000 tons in sight. As a rule the pelicans remain on one island and the gulls on another, but recently the pelicans have invaded the home of the gulls and have appropriated quite a section of it and are raising their young there. The birds seem to feed on the small shrimps In the water thereabout, and on fishes which they catch in the streams which drain into the lake. The young pellican is a very large and awkward bird and may be caught without difficulty. HEART ACTION IS REVIVED. Kept Up for Three Hours Artificially by German Doctors After Subject Is Beheaded. Berlin.—The German medical world is excited talking of some experiments just made by Drs. Deneke and Adamw of Hamburg. A murderer was guillotined at 8:02 a.m. His blood to the extent of two quarts was collected and at once defibrillated. At 8:12 her chest was cut open and weak contractions and twitchings of the heart were noticeable; at 8:15 the heart was removed from the body and passed through a weak solution of muratic agid to clear it of all fluids and render the organ absolutely dead and nerveless. It was then treated with what is known to physicists as the Lockesche solution and immediately well-regulated movements began to be perceptible. At 8:22 the heart was supplied with the debrinated blood mixed with another solution and slightly heated; immediately it began quite extraordinarily powerful beats and two hours after the woman was beheaded the heart was vibrating in lively if weak fashion. But, little by little, its contractions became weaker and at 11:34 it was incapable of further action. For three hours, therefore, action had been kept up. If the heart say Deneke and Adamw, why not the brain? And if the brain can be influence after death, then speech may be produced. All is possible. FORGERS FARING BADLY. Punishment Meted Out to Them Is Hcavier Than Formerly—Bank- cers Receive Report. New York.—That the punishment for forgery meted out in court sentences is increasing is the opinion of detectives of the American Bankers' association, as shown in a report made by James R. Branch, secretary of the association, covering bank robberies and forgeries since September 1, 1904. Since May 31 alone six professional forgers have been sentenced to a total of 22 years and nine months' imprisonment; which is an average of five years and five months each. Since September 1, 1904, the American Bankers' association has secured the arrest of 22 special forgers, of whom 11 were convicted, and the arrest of 49 general forgers, of whom 35 were convicted. Of burglaries and bank robbers 63 have been arrested and 32 convicted. This amounts to conviction in half of all bank robberies and forgeries if arrests were made. Ninety-nine banks have been attacked during the ten months, but only 17 were members of the bankers' association. CIGAR DROVE HIM TO BED. New York.—A box of cigars given him by his wife at Christmas time saved the life of Martin J. Kennedy, of San Francisco, who was a passenger on the Twentieth Century limited, which was wrecked at Mentor. Two minutes before the Twenty Century ran into the open switch he was sitting in the combination buffet and smoker of the train, skimming along at 70 miles an hour, smoking one of Mrs. Kennedy's Christmas cigars. He had smoked more than a third of it before he decided that he had fulfilled his obligation as an appreciative husband. Throwing the cigar away, he returned to his section in the sleeping car just behind. He had scarcely seated himself when the train ran into the open switch, bumped, and crashed over the tles. Every soul in the combination car, including Former Congressman Bennett, with whom Mr. Kennedy had been talking less than three minutes before, was killed. Wealth in Parson's Potatoes A basket of potatoes, in each one of which was imbedded a five-dollar gold piece, was presented here to Rev. Dr. Charles A. Eaton, of the Euclid Avenue Baptist Church, of Cleveland, of which John D. Rockefeller is a member. Mr. Rockefeller attended the presentation and is said to have been the donor. Aged Couple Impose Strange Trust on Beneficiary, But Young Woman Rejects Him. London—When Farmer John Wren lay dying at Coolcar, County Longford, he bequeathed his comfortable farm in an unusual manner. He was childless, and he willed that on his widow's death the farm should go to Patrick MacCarthy, "under the condition (he wrote) that within one year after my death he contract marriage, and come to live in my house at Coolcar, with Rose Anne Reilly, daughter of Philip Reilly, of Toneygarden." Wren and his wife died within a short while of each other last year, and Patrick MacCarthy proceeded to carry out the trust reposed in him. There were difficulties in the way, for Miss Reilly had gone to America. Three times Patrick MacCarthy voyaged across the Atlantic to ask her to marry him and so fulfill the terms of their benefactor's will. But each time Miss Reilly declined, and Patrick had finally to return to the home at Coolear without a wife. The question of the ownership of the farm now arose, as old Wren laid it down that it should go to Miss Reilly's brother if the marriage did not take place. The Irish master of the rolls, however, has laid it down that, as Patrick MacCarthy did all in his power to fulfill the conditions of the will by going to America after the bride named for him, he was not to blame because the marriage did not take place. The interesting legal decision then is that the farm remains the property of MacCarthy, and he can now install a bride of his own choice in Coolear. CROP OF SILVER FOXES. Valuable Alaska Fur Animals to Be Taken to Montana and Raised on the Ranch. Livingston, Mont.—Joseph J. Harrison, of Philadelphia, who is connected with a fur corporation, is in this city for the purpose, he says, of studying the climatic conditions of Park county, with a view to establishing a farm for the breeding of silver toxes in this locality. He says the company he represents already has such a farm in Alaska, but the company wishes to experiment with the fur of animals bred in a milder climate. "Of small animals," said Mr. Harrison, discussing the project, "by far the most valuable pelt is that of the nearly extinct silver fox. The company I represent makes a business of breeding animals for their pelts; but until a short time ago we never attempted to raise the silver fox, as the animal is very difficult to capture and as it usually does not thrive in captivity. We have, however, a small number of the little animals on an Alaskan farm. It has been suggested that perhaps a finer quality of fur could be raised in a milder climate, and it seems to me that the conditions in Park country are favorable for the experiment." MANY RELICS FOUND. Document Signed by Vancouver, the Great Explorer, Among Old Papers Discovered at Honolulu. Honolulu.—A letter bearing the signature of George Vancouver, the great explorer, is among the documents found among the archives of Hawaii, by R. C. Lidecker, secretary of the board of archives, who is going through many boxes of old papers and records. It was written in 1794 and is a testimonial left by the explorer with King Kamehameha the Great, testifying to his peaceful disposition and kind treatment of Vancouver and his men. The document is well preserved. Many other similar relics are being found, among them being numerous treaties with the various powers of the world, by the Hawaiian monarchy. There are also letters signed by the Hawaiian kings of the early part of the last century, showing their allegiance to Great Britain, and one from the First Kamehameha to King George III, telling of the complete conquest of all the Hawaiian group by the island king. Vancouver's letter tells of a meeting of chiefs at which the sovereignty of Great Britain was acknowledged. CHINAMAN DRIVEN OUT. Creek Tribal Tax Is Too Much for the Only Celestial in Muskogee, Indian Territory. Muskogee, I. T.—Because he had to pay $24 Creek tribal tax, Wong Gee, the only Chinese resident of Muskogee, has packed,his grip, delivered all laundry intrusted to him, and gone to San Francisco. He was notified by the police that he must pay up or shut up. The blue suit and brass buttons of the Indian police frightened Wong Gee so badly that he could not talk for some time, but when he regained the power of speech he asked numerous questions, and was finally taken to Treasurer Lyman K. Lane, who is receiving the money. When Mr. Lane told him the amount of his tax. Wong Gee said as business was dull he would give the treasurer his note. This Mr. Lane refused to accept, unless Secretary Hitchcock would indorse for the Celestial. When Wong disgored the $24 Mr. Lane asked if he wanted to pay for next year. The Chinaman declined to do so, saying he would return to California, where there were no Creek Indians and no tribal tax. A. Fact Long Known. Expertss say life insurance premiums are too high. They will not have to furnish figures in order to get the policy-holders to believe it. Not Always Last. A French writer says the czar is the last of his race. Not when his race is for the purpose of getting under the bed. IF YOU WANT A PLACE To Board ADVERTISE THE WASHINGTON HOLME'S Hotel 333 Va. Ave., S. W.

Y., on the 11th, 12th and 13th of this month as earnest a body of men as ever assembled on the American continent. They came together almost by common impulse, certainly their assembling had its origin in a sincere desire to state clearly, emphatically, unequivocally and courageously, those principle which human experience and history show to lie at the bottom of human progress in a free society. The times, all admit are critical. Never in the history of the world has the fetich of race held greater sway over the minds of men than at the present time. White men everywhere are talking of the superiority of the white races of mankind and of their divine right to rule and lord it over men of all other colors. Even colored men are going about preaching different standards of civil rights, political rights, and educational opportunities and methods for white men and colored men. Only last month a colored man delivered a commencement address in this city, and exhausted all his powers of classification to endeavor to establish the principle that the emphasis in education, among other things, should be controlled by social needs. "The Niagara Movement" has been begun just because of this critical condition of affairs brought about by race fanatics on the one hand, and race traitors and trucklers the other. There is no escaping the conclusion that race leadership as at present constituted is actuated by apology, compromise, cowardice and surrender. So that "The Niagara Movement" has come about none too early, and in its purposes, its plan of organization, its methods of work, and the men who have given their assent to it, it is unique among efforts for race organization and betterment. In another part of THE BEE will be found an authoritative statement, giving information as to the movement, its programme, its officers and its purposes. It was deemed wise to give the public this information, and we are glad it was done. To have pursued any other course would have been unrepublican and un-American. It will be noticed that the plan of organization is that of the Young Men's Christian Association, and is designed to secure work. There are no high sounding titles, no dignified officers to impart glamor and consequence to persons without merit in themselves. The head of "The Niagara Movement" is a General Secretary, not a president. The only other general officers are a Treasurer and an Executive Committee. The General Secretary is Prof. W. E. B. DuBois, of Atlanta, Ga., and the Treasurer is Hon. Geo. H. Jackson, of Cincinnati, Ohio. Those who attended the conference at Buffalo are only about one-third of the persons who in writing have given assurance of their support of the movement. This movement, begun by men representative of the best training, conscience and character of the race, is destined to have a large influence in counteracting dangerous tendencies; in providing hope, courage and inspiration for a despondent people, and in presenting to the American people that view of human rights which makes for large freedom, educational. political and industrial. Prof. DuBois in his "Souls of Black Folk," has given the best expression within the race, of the race's aspiration for the best things in life. His selection as the leader of "The Niagara Movement," serves therefore the useful purpose of making it clear that those who work with him are of the belief that equality of right is the only solution of the American problem, miscalled the negro problem. DANGER AHEAD. It is the intention of North and South Carolina and many other Southern States to encourage foreign emigration. This means that the colored population in the South must either get up and get or be servants for this foreign element. It is a scheme to get rid of the negro entirely and the sooner the colored man can leave the South the better it will be for him. It will be but a short time before this unruly element, which is causing so much trouble at home, will rise up and put down bossism and oppression. The white Southerner will not be able to deal with this class as he does the colored man. This element is fleeing from oppression and certainly it will not go where it reigns supreme or where law and order have no conscience. The white South will regret the elimination of the faithful negro. He has been faithful to the white man long before his emancipation and subsequent thereto. Let the South be filled with foreign emigrants. The South may prosper for a time, but when this foreign element becomes citizenized, what will become of the Southern gentleman? The white foreigner will but tamely submit to indignities, oppression, tyranny and murder as the humiliating colored man. He will teach the white Southerner a lesson. The Southern gentleman's congressional and judicial occupation will be gone. The colored man has long since ceased weeping. He has determined either to be a man or a citizen, the South to the contrary notwithstanding. AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP. AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP. It was an honor to a*Roman citizen when he was attacked, to say that "I am a Roman citizen." But how different is our American citizenship! The more the colored man does the less he is thanked for it. He is obedient to the laws of his government and faithful to the Constitution of the United States. He is willing and ready to take up arms in defense of his republic and defend American citizens against foreign invasion. What is our American citizenship? Does it mean anything to the colored man? The colored man, it is true, is too sentimental. He disregards that feature in his citizenship that makes nations great and republics powerful. THE BEE would advise the colored man to forget the color of his skin and think alone as to how he can best improve his condition. It is not necessary to be regarded a "white" man to receive recognition. A man can do noble deeds and moral acts which will command respect and consideration among those with whom he comes in contact. A good citizen is respected by everybody, be he black or white, gray or yellow. It is the narrow contracted individual who has prejudices. The man or woman with noble principles never thinks of his color. It is the common man or woman who believes that he or she is degraded by associating with a colored man or woman. The well-reared white person, who has been used to something will not attempt to degrade his fellow man. Just why the colored man should be despised and ostracised. THE BEE has not yet found out. The moment a foreigner lands upon American soil he is treated as a man and taken in as a brother. He may be a Nihilist of Russia or some other dangerous individual. The colored man who has lived in this country all his life is not even treated as a common dog. A NEW MOVEMENT. Elsewhere in THE BEE will be read with interest the great national movement among the educated colored men of America. It is a movement that will command the respect and confidence of the civilized world. The address to the country to a document that can not be misunderstood. There is nothing in it to which any one can take offense. There was not a delegate present who lacks manhood. They are men of the highest intellectual ability and neither do any of them belong to the apologetic class of colored men. This Niagara movement believes in everything the white man believes in. There is no middle ground to take. This movement doesn't believe in the hypocritical teachings of men who have placed the negro in his present condition today. The colored man has been led by false leaders and it is the intention of the present, organization to teach the colored man true American citizenship, and at the same time it will teach him to obey the laws of the land. The Niaagra movement means everything it indicates. No better man than Dr. Du Bois could have been placed at the head of this new movement. He is a scholar of the highest intellectual order and a man who commands the respect of the nation. He is no trimmer. He is no apologist. He believes in the negro and believes that the nergo is capable of doing just what other races do. He depends upon his intellect to earn a livelihood and not upon others who are always willing to use the weak negro to betray his race. He recognizes in the negro noble traits and not childish traits. He doesn't believe in the revised constitutions of the South and neither does he give an excuse for their passage. In the Niagara movement the negro will rise or fall. NEW RULES. The recent rules adopted by Major Sylvester to govern the detective bureau should be strictly enforced. Major Sylvester is no doubt aware that a few changes in that bureau would tend to reform it. He is no doubt aware that he has some liars who must walk the chalk line and if they don't they will not be given an opportunity to explain. A man's color should be no bar for his dismissal from the force. No officer, white or black, has any right to be retained in the service who is morally unfit. Major Sylvester will see to it that men who inaugurate jobs to convict or to disgrace an individual will all that is coming to them. There are some honorable and reputable men in the detective bureau, and will not resort to corruption to make a record or to convict an innocent person. The Major is to be commended for his new rules. PENSION OFFICE PROMOTIONS. Not for twenty years has a colored man in the Pension Office, failed to receive a promotion till the other day when over one hundred clerks in all classes were promoted and not one competent or worthy colored man. Even under a Democratic administration, colored men who were found competent received promotions. THE BEE is inclined to believe that our new Commissioner was not aware that the subordinate chiefs made these hundred promotions and failed to advance one colored clerk. It seems that the whole business was intentionally done. However, THE BEE calls the attention of the new Commissioner to this affair and asks him if he was aware that not one colored clerk received a promotion? The principle of this administration is a "square deal" for everybody. THE BEE is inclined to believe that the new Commissioner will investigate these recent promotions. MR. RICKETTS LOYAL No one will believe that Mr. O. J. Ricketts, the present foreman of printing in the Government Printing Office, is in any way disloyal to Public Printer Palmer. Mr. Ricketts realizes the fact that Mr. Palmer has been his true friend and benefactor. This charge is made by the enemies of Mr. Ricketts, who know that not a word of truth is in the charge. It would not be an act of disloyalty on the part of Mr. Ricketts to apply for the position of Public Printer if the President stated that he did not intend to reappoint Mr. Palmer. THE BEE conscientiously believes that Mr. Palmer would be pleased to see Mr. Ricketts Public Printer if he is to be retired, Just to show that it isn't worried about the alleged dangers that unrestricted foreign immigration to this country is going to subvert our institutions, the State of North Carolina has filed application for 200,000 of the immigrants who are expected to arrive in this country during the next few years. North Carolina and its Southern neighbor both feel, to paraphrase a celebrated and somewhat famous discussion between the executives of these twain of sister commonwealths that it's a long time between immigration ships. Both States figure that they are full of opportunities, and need nothing so much as people to turn these into wealth. They have heard that the North, having grown wealthy and populous and full of industries while it was receiving the stream of foreigners, is now satisfied, so they are anxious to get some of the influx of new population that the North doesn't want. Special Commissioner Here. To this end E. W. V. Lucas, special commissioner of the State of North Carolina, bearing credentials from the governor of the State, has been here visiting the Department of Commerce and Labor, especially the immigration department. Mr. Lucas wanted to know how he could get in touch with the incoming immigrants, and was told that the department, unfortunately, could do nothing for him. It had no authority or money, under present laws, to accomplish anything in the nature of directing the immigration stream after it reaches these shores. Mr. Lucas explained that his State not only felt able to handle 200,000 immigrants, but that it was anxious to get them. He wanted to secure he co-operation of the Government, railroad and steamship authorities to whatever extent in their power to aid in the project. "We don't want these people all at once." Mr. Lucas is quoted as saying. "We couldn't place them all in a single season, but we can take such a number, if they are willing to work and anxious to better their conditions, in the next few years. We want them in groups and neighborhood companies, if possible, so they shall not become lonesome and homesick. "We have a number of such colonies in the State now, and they are doing well. There is no limit to the opportunities and possibilities of the State for such people, and we need them. The whole South needs them. The labor question there grows more serious every year, and this appears to be the one solution of it." More Power Is Needed. Mr. Lucas was referred, for any effective ce-operation, to the railroads operating in the South, and to the New York immigration officials. He went from Washington to New York with letters to the authorities there, and will pursue his investigations further. The immigration officials under the Department of Commerce and Labor explain that they cannot give any useful assistance to communities thus desirous of securing immigration. It is the opinion of department officials that Congress ought to give them power to do this sort of work, with plenty of authority and a reasonable amount of money. PREACHERS' AID ASSOCIATION. The Preachers Aid Association met in annual session at Wilberforce, Ohio, June 12th, 1904. Bishop B.F. Lee presided. He delivered an address that inspired the Bard. He was pleased with the work done in the last year—financially and numerically. It is now in a most healthy condition. The membership has grown four times larger than at the last meeting for as was reported at the General Conference—Christian keeper. DR. DAN WILLIAMS IN NEW YORK Last week one of the biggest Medical Societies of New York city held its annual banquet and had Dr. Daniel H. Williams of Chicago for its guest of honor Letters of regret were read at the banquet from prominent professional men from many states and the biggest social affair of the season in America's noted city. Mr. W. C. Lewis, Ir. of Chester has been recently elected a member of the faculty of the State College at Orangeburg, S. C. Mr. Lewis went north a few years ago and fitted himself in harness and saddle maker's trade, and because of his special proficiency in the business he became the choice of the Board of directors for this position. He is a comparatively young man, the son of Mr. W. C. Lewis, Sr., a highly respectable, and successful farmer living about four miles north of Chester. We congratulate Mr. Lewis on this manifestation of his worth.—The Rock Hill Messenger. Several Whites Patronize Colored Car Line. Jacksonville, Fla., July 10, 1905. I arrived in Jacksonville Sunday and was much pleased to see and learn of the condition of the colored people They have a street car line owned and operated by themselves, having UNIFORMED MOTORMEN AND CONDUCTORS the same as the white people. They are running quite a number of cars and doing a big business. I was also informed that the State had enacted a law to stop the colored people from riding in the front seats of the car, making them ride in the last two seats, or in other words to have what is known as the Jim Crow car service, and it was resented by all the colored people and they are standing their own grounds and are making all white persons who ride on the colored lines take the last two seats and the colored man sits in the front seats to carry their end. All of the churches have joined them, and the colored hack lines have also joined in and are hauling passengers for the same fare that the street cars are carrying them for. The colored people say that they will not stand for the insulting act, and as one of their citizens was arrested for taking a front seat on one of the traction lines Saturday, they are going to contest the law to see whether it is constitutional to discriminate. This colored traction line has a large park and a fine pavilion and plenty of amusement for the people, and it is well patronized by them; and as far as I could learn there are quite a number of business enterprises among the colored people there. They were to start on an extension of a new line out to the ostrich farm on the St. Johns river Monday, where quite a large number of men would be employed. It looked so strange to see what the negroes are doing in the South when there is so much in their way. So you see what is meant by a "boycott" in the South. So far as I could see, the colored people are doing all of the work, such as station porters and express and baggage porters and firemen on the roads, and doing all of the driving and freight house work, as such work is beneath the notice of white men. "Anything for the negro," is the term used by white men that is not elevating to him. On my arrival in Atlanta I was much-pleased to find in the new Union station a fine lunch room and counter for the colored people passing through there. One entering the station could not wish for any better accommodation in London or Chicago. In thus lunch counter room the cashier was a young colored lady of nice appearance, and a gentlemanly looking colored man as head waiter, with a crew of nice colored boys as waiters. Now, when one says hard things about the South, tell them to look at the opportunity for using their education, when here you cannot do anything for the poor whites. Nashville is also a good example for the colored man, and it is pleasing to see so many of the young men at good jobs. H. B. ANDERSON. The senior editor of this paper ended his sixth year on last Sunday as pastor of the Galilee Baptist Church. There were good congregations out all day. The church is much encouraged over the work done in this field during the past six years. The pastor begins his seventh year's work with the active support of every department of the church. The officers and church have decided to tender the pastor a reception on the 20th of the present month, at which time the entire Baptist Ministerial Union will be invited to attend. A full report of the church's work will be made on the night of the reception. The public is invited to be present.-The Baptist Truth. The agitation for the Editor of the "Bee" to give us a daily should bear fruit. We need such papers in all our large cities. The question, will it go? is answered if those in a position decide to just make it go. Anything will live in this old world that we make live.—The Phonograph. The reputation gained by Baltimore as a city of prejudice has reached far and wide, and instead of having thousands of colored Christian Endeavorers to attend the gr at convention, the numbers went hardly into the hundreds. Thousands of both colored and white remained away on account of that reputation, Christian principles and local prejudices do not work very well together. Baltimore should mend her ways.—The Afro-American Ledger. The Washington Bee, an ably edited race journal has pssed its twenty fifth milestone of usefulness. The event was fittingly celeb ated by representative citizens and friends and the editor, Mr. W. Calvin Chase. Sr., presented costly tokens in appreciation of his long and efficient service. Many able and brilliant speeches were delivered by distinguished men.—The Southwestern Christian Advocate. From the Florida Sentinel. The Jacksonville Times-Union of July 9th states the case as follows: James E. Cashin, a well-known colored man, was placed under arrest about noon yesterday by Constable A. E. Lightbody on an affidavit sworn out by Herman M. Knauth, charging a violation of the Jim Crow street car law. Cashin violated the law to test its, validity. The arrest was made at the corner of Bay and Clay streets. It is said that Cashin boarded a Riverside car, No. 79, of the Jacksonville Electric Company, and took a seat in that portion of the car designated for white people; that he was asked by the conductor to move, and refused to do so, hence the arrest. Cashin, the defendant, was taken to Justice E. E. Willard's office, and at once secured the services of Wetmore and Purcell, colored, to defend him. Cashin was released on a security bond of $50, signed by Charles H. Hagan and Peter F. Johnson, colored. Justice Willard set the case for Monday morning, July 17th., at 10 o'clock, at which time many law points will be argued. Should Justice Willard hold Cashin for trial in the Criminal Court, it is the purpose of his attorneys to go before Judge Call on a petition of habeas corpus, when the constitutionality of the law will be argued. All honor to a brave young man who dares Speak for his race in no uncertain tone; Whose journal, once a week this message bears: "O race of mine, arise! and claim your own." This, at a time when leaders (?) of the race Have made a sneaking truce with sin and guilt, And cry, "O master, give us self and place, And do with us and to us as thou wilt." But this young man, unknown of face to me, Hath spurned the proffered bribe of power and purse, And shown such here-soul as used to be The poet's crowning theme of epic verse. 'Tis fit that he should live about the Bay, Whose waves exultant leap in glee, and broke, As rolled the numbers, smoother far than they, To charm the ear when Wendell Phillips spoke. 'Tis meet that Trotter should have pitch'd his tent In Massachusetts—holy ground—where dwelt The forces that convulsed a continent, And wrought a deed that all the world hath felt. How bless that he in sight of Bunker Hill, Hath Freedom's banner to its breeze unfurl'd, Where one time sang—yea, where is singing still— Lowell—sole poet of the Western World. I need not mention Sumner, Garrison, Longtellow, Whittier,—all th' immortal band That make the old Bay State the central one— The first for liberty to take her herd. In Trotter re-incarnate is the glow That quenchless flam'd in every patriot breast, When 'twas a hiss a by-word, and a show, To speak a single word for the oppressed. Upon the future-swaying scaffold, see Undaunted Truth, while Wrong ascends the throne: She knows the paths ordained of Destiny, Are but the Master's ways, to meu unknown. Hence, once again, young man, a Puritan— Keep up the good traditions of the stock. Fight to a finish that which you began, As beat the waves against old Plymouth Rock. James Edgar French. —From the Chicago Conservator.

Galbraith Church Committee on Building and Repairs awarded the contracts to the different contractors to begin the work the first part of August. There will not be any interruption during the repairing services will be the same. Dr. Corrothers is making every effort to raise a large sum of money the first Sunday in September. When those who know Galbraith church best and picture the condition four or more years back would not think it was the same church. This is one of the times when you can say "God moves in a mysterious way." Wonderful success would not have visited Galbraith church only through God's mysterious wisdom. Galbraith church is better to-day than she has ever been, the congregation is larger, you can scarcely get a seat at the Sunday morning services. Miss, Katie West, a member of Galbraith church is very sick and confined to her room. AMONG ODD FELLOWS. The initiating team that did such splendid work at Corinthian Lodge No. 3857 on the evening of the 10th instant was composed of the following brethren: N. F. David Rinker, Blobm of Youth Lodge 1368; N. G. Arthur Frazier, Young Men's Progressive Lodge 4156; V. G. J. B. Ruffin, Osceola Lodge 2033; Mentor J. N. Lawson and Conductor G. W. McKenzie, Young Men's Progressive Lodge 4156; Inside Guardian, Chas. Rowe, Corinthian Lodge, No. 3857; Chaplain, Rev. W. J. Howard, Rising Sun Lodge 1365. Several prominent members of Harmony Lodge 818, Alexandria, Va., were present, by special invitation. W. L. Houston, Grand Director of the S. C. of M. G. U. O. of O. F. in America, will leave to-morrow for Philadelphia, where he will remain a-week or ten days attending to the second annual meeting of the Board. The many friends of Brother Henry W. Honesty, the delegate to the D. G. L. from Union Friendship Lodge are pleased to learn that his estimable wife is recovering from her recent illness. Mrs. A. V. Chase, accompanied by her daughter, Miss Beatriz Lucinda Chase, will leave the city for Richmond, Va., next month. Dr. Bruce Evens is in the city looking after his fences. The doctor-looks well. A large representation was present at the St. Paul A. M. E. Church, Eighth street between D and E streets, southwest, on Sunday evening last, the occasion being the twenty-third anniversary of Golden Reef Lodge No. 2362. The anniversary sermon was preached by Rev. M. W. Traver, pastor of the church. H. Dyson, N. G., presided, and P. N. F. T. E. Hill acted as master of ceremonies. H. Braxton, the efficient P. S., read a brief history of the lodge. The financial collection, which was a good one, was presented to the church. P. G. M. W. H. Bagby and P. N. F. Lewis Frazier, H. W. Wilson and W. H. Thomas are prominent members of this lodge. Grand Director W. L. Houston was present and was introduced to the audience by the master of ceremonies. Corinthian Lodge No. 3857 had a "swell" initiation Monday evening last. Capricornus got loose and succeeded in butting thirteen "strangers" into the chain gang. The initiation and degree team was a fine one and furnished mostly by the Young Men's Progressive Lodge No. 4156. More will be said about this team and the ceremonies in the next BEE. Bro. D. B. Webster, the "Old Cream Jug," is one of the best known Odd Fellows in this jurisdiction. "Brer" Daniel never leaves his smile at home. He really likes to meet the brethren. RECEPTION TO REV. CORROTHERS. The Stewardesses of Galbraith A. M. E. Z. Church gave Dr. S. L. Corrothers a reception last Friday night which was well attended. The usual custom of the churches of the District of Columbia is to give their pastor a reception immediately on his return. It has been several weeks since Dr. S. L. Corrothers returned to Galbraith Church and it was mentioned by the president of the Stewardesses' Board, Mrs. 'M. Tapscott, that they wanted to see if Dr. Corrothers wished to remain and thoroughly convinced if he came to stay before they would receive him in a social way. The suggestion was drawn out of the remarks made by Rev. Wallace of the Metropolitan Church who said in his talk that the Stewardesses were rather late in welcoming Dr. Corrothers' return. Mrs. M. Tapscott, president of the Stewardesses, presided at the meeting. Her members were certainly very true to her; they stayed around her and gave what assistance she needed. The programme was opened by Recorder Dancy. He told of the many good things about Dr. Corrothers and what he had accomplished since his stay in Washington and at Galbraith Church. Mr. Chas. Lively, one of the older members of the church, spoke in complimentary terms of Dr. Corrothers and how the people valued his good work. Rev. Blackwell made very encouraging remarks along the line of the good work Dr. Corrothers had accomplished. Miss Georgie Makel rendered a charming solo that caught the cars of the well attended audience. Rev. Wallace, of the Metropolitan A. M. E. Z. Church, gave a talk. I knew all who heard him expected more than what they heard. It is in the air that Rev. Wallace is one of the finest pulpit orators in the Zion connection among the Washington churches. Dr. Wiseman spoke very briefly of what he knew of Galbraith and how deservant the members were of having a good man, as their present pastor. Just before the close of the meeting Mrs. Mary Shaw presented the pastor with a very fine black suit of clothes. Dr. Corrothers responded very encouragingly, thanking them for thoughtfulness and their kindness. After the programme had reached its end the Stewardesses had prepared refreshments to serve the general public. The closing remarks were made by Mr. William Graham. THE NIAGARA MOVEMENT.

Representative Colored Men from Fifteen States in Conference at Fort Eric—Prof. DuBois Leader of the Work. Representative colored men from fifteen states are in conference at the Fort Erie Beach Hotel and have formed a permanent organization for the improvement of the condition of the colored people, to be known as "The Niagara Movement." The officers of the society are: Prof. W. E. B. DuBois, of Atlanta, Ga., the general secretary, and George H. Jackson, of Cincinnati, treasurer. The conference opened Tuesday with fifty-one members in attendance. Meetings were held yesterday and today, which resulted in the adoption of a series of resolutions for the improvement of the negro. The movement is national in scope and is started in opposition to the theories of Booker T. Washington, who advises the colored man in the South to confine himself to work and let the affairs of state alone. The members of the new society favor manhood suffrage, and hope by means of the new movement to accomplish their ideals. Prof. DuBois, the general secretary, is well-known as the author of "The Soul of the Black Man." He has lectured in this city before the Equality Club and at the Westminster Church on Delaware avenue. The platform of the Niagara Movement follows: Freedom of speech and criticism; an unfettered and unsubsidized race press; manhood suffrage; the abolition of all class distinction based simply on race and color; recognition of human brotherhood as a practical present creed; the recognition of the highest and best human training as the monopoly of no class or race; a belief in the dignity of manual toil; united effort to realize these ideals under courageous leadership. The Niagara Movement will hold annual meetings. The work of the organization will consist in appointing a committee in each state to cooperate with congressmen and legislators to secure just legislation for the colored people, and the committees will from tome to time issue literature and reports of the progress of the work. Those in attendance at the meeting are: F. H. M. Murray, Alexandria, Va.; J. S. Madden, Chacago, Ill.; Robert H. Bonner, Fall River, Mass.; the Rev. G. R. Waller, Baltimore, Md.; H. L. Bailey, Washington, D: C.; Emery T. Morris, Cambridge, Mass.; Clement G. Morgan, Boston, Mass.; the Rev. Byron Gunner, Newport, R. I.; the Rev. W. H, Scott, Woburn, Mass.; E. B.

In Missive, Written to Friend, Just Published, She Tells of Bonaparte's Last Scene—King 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 Pletri, 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."

Last Seismic Disturbance That Was Registered There Took Place on May 31, 1889—The Value of Seismographs. Paris.—M. Joseph Jaubert, director of the municipal observatories of the Tour Saint-Jacques and the Parc Montsouris, communicates the following: It is recorded that a seismic movement has been felt at Grenoble and at various points in the Alps, and that earthquakes were noticed in different parts of France, chiefly in the Alps, and partly in the north. In Paris these phenomena are fairly rare, the last that was registered having taken place in May 31, 1889. No documents are to hand giving details of any earthquakes that may have occurred further back than the fifteenth century, but since that period the following are on record: April 6, 1580, one which caused some damage in the outskirts in the northwest and demolished a portion of the church at Pontoise; September 18, 1691, a very extensive movement signaled in England and Germany; October 6, 1711; January 18 and April 30, 1756; January 20, 1760; May 31, 1821; February -19, 1822; July 1, 1841, especially on the left bank of the Seine; April 1, 1853, at Sevres; July 1, 1855, September 14, 1866, mainly in this neighborhood; January 28, 1878, lasting from eight to ten seconds (in Paris there were fairly accentuated oscillations, and in the quartier du Marais, at Montmartre and at Versalles there were light tremors felt); August 16, 1885; February 23, 1887 (this earthquake coincided with that which caused such serious harm on the Gulf of Genoa littoral); finally, that of May 31, 1889, felt in Paris and outskirts. Earthquakes are registered with the aid of instruments called selfsmographs, based as a rule upon the movement of a pendulum produced by the shock, which movement inscribes automatically the direction, intensity and duration of the said shock. Observation of the earth's magnetism shows a correlation between certain magnetic perturbations and the movements of the earth. The latter are often a fairly long way off, as, for instance, on July 10, 1894, when the magnetic curves registered at the Parc Saint-Maur marked a great disturbance at ten minutes to 11 o'clock, the local time corresponding to 24 minutes to 11 at Constantinople. Now, at the latter town an earthquake took place at 24 minutes past ten—that is to say, it took only 12 minutes for the tremor to pass from Constantinople to Paris. In other words, a pace was attained of 3,100 meters per second. The earthquake which took place some weeks ago in the Rhone valley and spread as far as Switzerland was registered almost simultaneously by the magnetic instruments at the Parc Saint-Maur and the Pic du Midi. Only important stations possess seismographic instruments, and only, too, in countries where earthquakes are frequent, such, for instance, as Japan, where nearly all the meteorological stations have seismographs. In the Alps, too, earthquakes are regularly registered. In places where there are no observation stations there has been established a kind of graduated scale, which classes the earthquakes into ten categories, according to the damage or accidents caused. CAPTURE CANADIAN TRADE. American Shrewdness Has Acquired Considerable South African Business of Dominion. Ottawa, Ont.—It would appear that the natural shrewdness and tactical ability of American business men is too much for their Canadian competitors to overcome. One of the latest instances of this is shown by the rather unique way in which American firms are capturing from Canadians the South African trade of the latter. Official investigation has disclosed reasons for the apparent monopolization by United States firms of space in Canadian steamers plying to South Africa and which are subsidized by the Dominion government. It seems that a great many large trading firms in the United States have established agencies in Canada and are buying and shipping Canadian produce on Canadian railways and steamships to South Africa, and getting the benefit of the preference accorded to Canadian products. The man in South Africa is, of course, laboring under the impression that the goods in question, thus handled by American firms, are from the United States, although at points of entry the goods are regarded as Canadian. The Canadian seller makes no effort to correct the impression. Then, also, the American firms shipping in this way have large distributing agencies all over South Africa, whereas Canadian firms have not. It frequently happens that the latter, on this account, sell their products to their American rivals, who place the products on the market and get the reputation and the profit.

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 unalfaed the Big Spring & Beaver Valley turpike company, whose road passed in property, and which, he maintaind, was a public nuisance. His victory was finally been won, the court having just ordered the turpike 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 gate removed. These have at last been successful, and the turnpike is now a free public highway. Nearly the entire length of the turnpike was within the city limits. DOG A MOTHER TO CHICKS Vanine 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 life 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 Sim 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. The intimacy 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 Connecicut 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.

The Most Important Portrait of Our First President Yet Produced * Is Work of D’Angers. New York—There have been many portraits of Washington. Prominence is always a shining mark for the paint- er or the sculptor. Portraits of Wash- ington by Gilbert Stuart, and by Rem- brandt Peale, and dozens of artists, sculptors and engravers of lesser rank, are abundant, and yet it has been the opportunity of a noted French sculptor, David d'Angers, to Bive to the world the most important Portrait of Washington, the man, yet produced, The original bust of Washington by David was subscribed for by @ num: ber of patriotic Frenchmen in the year 1826. The bust, in marble, was finally presented to the United States, and given a place in the library of CEES Oy = Nae a Ne ca WS NY ee ry So Leet aR. es aes ‘ oun ages 7 Neg aes) iy ee S55 /7/" eee Ce Lesa Sey a a mae pe i “BUST OF WASHINGTON. congress, the only location available at that time for the exhibition of such art works. Unfortunately, this ‘bust was destroyed by fire, which occurred in the brary on the morning of De- cember 24, 1831. This fire also de- stroyed a large number of valuable works of art, among them a bust of Lafayette, also by David. In Angers, the native town of the artist, are pegerved all of the models of this renowned sculptor, which were bequeathed to the museum of Angers by the artist at the time of his death, 5 The loss of the bust, in marble, was deeply felt by the sculptor and by the French nation, David was in exile when the news of its destruction was Urought to him, and he bemoaned his unfortunate condition and the loss of a work whfch he had considered a masterpiece. Love for the United States has not diminished in France. A short time since the project of again presenting to this country a bust of Washingtor by David was commenced; the plaster model being still in existence, . the work was finished in bronze. As In 1826, this wofk was subscribed for by citizens of the French nation, and {t 1s a memorable fact that the three names heading the list of subscriber: are those of Lafayette, Rochambeat and De Grasse, descendants of the per sons of these names, who were valuet allies of the United States In th atrugsie for independence.

RELICS HAVE VALUE. THE IMPORTANCE OF HISTORIC LANDMARKS TO CITIES. General Movement Throughout Coun- "try to Preserve Famous Buildings | and Trees on Account of Their Attraction to Tourists.

He prayed for strength to combat the vevils he had arrayed himself against. ‘Much to their own surprise the mem- bers of the council joined in. ‘That strength came to Mayor Cupp 4s evidenced by the fact that, weakly supported by the allermante body and frowned upon by public sentiment, he has done what temperance leagues, governors and whatnot have falled to do, banished liquor absolvtely from = town, MEMORIAL TO DOCTOR.

It is a beautiful thing with little squirrels eating acorns burnt on it. This chair was on exhibition at the school and created a great deal of interest, as it is of Greek origin.

Anderson has been promoted from the Armstrong Manual Training High School to the position of Assistant Directress of Domestic Art in the public schools. Miss Anderson is a lady of fine attainments and in every way qualified for her new position. It has only been three years since she was promoted from the graded schools to the above named school, and so well has been her good teaching until the Board of Education has seen fit to appoint her to this responsible position. DANIEL W. BAKER WINS President Roosevelt has appointed Daniel W. Baker United States Attorney to succeed Mr. Morgan H. Beach. The appointment is universally approved by the members of the bar and the people. Daniel William Baker was born at Calvert College, New Windsor, Carroll county, Md., on October 4, 1867. His father was Andrew Hull Baker, a well known teacher, and mathematician, who founded Calvert College, and was afterward professor of mathematics at Mt. St. Mary's College. At this latter institution the newly appointed District attorney was educated—in Emmiteburg, Md. He entered Georgetown Law School in 1891, and in 1892 received the degree of LL B. In 1893 he was made LL M. and was admitted to the bar of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia October 10, 1892. In 1897 Mt. St. Mary's College conferred upon him he degree of A.M. honoris causa. Mr. Baker was appointed Assistant United States Attorney for the District of Columbia under Henry E. Davis, but resigned after about a year to engage in the practice of law for himself, a course which has resulted in his present reputation for legal ability and sound judgment. On January 1, 1901, he entered into partnership with Wilton J. Lambert, under the firm, name of Lambert & Baker. RALPH GIVENS, ESO There is no young man more highly respected and appreciated than Ralph Givens, Esq., the able prosecuting attorney at Police Court, Mr. Given deserves what he has because he has gained it by hard work and ability. The Bcc can state that no member of the bar would like to see this young man displaced. What he needs is an able assistant but The Bcc is of the opinion that the new district attorney, Mr. Baker, will give him.

WRIGHT, A true copy: Associate Justice. Test: I. F. YOUNG, Clerk. By Harry Givens, Asst Clerk. BOARD UPHOLDS DECISION. Declines to Reverse Finding in Case of Detective Henry Lacey. F. II. Stephenson, chairman of the police trial board, in reply to the argument submitted on appeal by Attorney George Hoover in behalf of Dectective Henry Lacey, who was recently convicted by the board on charges of using harsh, violent, and disrespectful language regarding one W. Calvin Chase, thus defines the jurisdiction of the police trial board: The jurisdiction of the police trial board is criminal in its nature. It has no authority, and does not attempt to give relief to one individual as against another after the manner of civil courts. Its sole purpose is to inquire whether there has been an offense committed against the good order and discipline of the police force. It does not concern itself whether the motive of the individual in furnishing information in which to base charges proceeds from mere personal spite of a commendable desire to further the ends of justice. It-limits its inquiries merely to the question of the commission of the offense charged. This argument of Chairman Stephens, which was submitted to Commissioner West, was concurred in by the Commissioner, with instructions that Mr. Hoover be informed that the Commissioners see no valid reason for changing their action relative to the finding of the trial board. In his argument for reversal of the trial board, Attorney Hoover said that Chase became so boisterous and obstreperous at the time of the trial that it was necessary for the board to order his ejection from the room, and that all the testimony given by Chase was ordered expurged from the record because Chase, refused to answer a question. All wrapped and bandaged tight— For Johnny he did celebrate, And how he's an awful sight. His face is black with powder marks, One eye is almost out: Poor Johnny looks like he has been In some pugilitsic bout. As master Johnny thought it ought— So up to it he strode And bent himself to pick it up— When, 'bang! the giant cracker went. Into the house they Johnny bore, And for the doctor sent. His hands are burned and swollen, His nose is twice its reg'lar size; And the doctor says 'twill be. some time Ere he'll let Johnny rise. Then he says Johnny will look bad For many years to come, And that his eye may never be Again a perfect one. Poor Johnny, he must lay in bed While the other children play And all because of celebrating The nation's greatest day. But Johnny says that he don't acre, Just so he doesn't die, And that he'll celebrate again The Fourth of next July. —CLARENCE EMERY ALLEN. COMELINESS VS. UGLINESS. The old saw, "that pretty is as pretty does" has been rendered obsolete by the Richmond City School Board, so far as it pertains to future school-marms for our city public schools. At the election of teachers a fortnight, or three weeks ago a resolution was adopted making comeliness of personal appearance and beauty of face essential to eligibility for teachers. The adoption of this resolution has set many to thinking. Many of the teachers who have spent years in the schools wintering and summering the work, many times at a loss of health and mental contentment, are beginning to Cresta Blanca 3 Bordeau Claret Reproductions At $5.50, $7 and $8 doz. qts. 3 Sauterne Reproductions At $6, $9 and $11 doz. qts.

PETER GROGAN wonder if they are to be supplanted by the comely young misses. And the the trouble does not stop with the old and experienced teachers, all of our daughters who may finish the proscribed course of study in our city schools and graduate, their diplomas stating that they are qualified to teach in the public schools, are not and will not be a lily-of-the-valley, a rose of Sharon, or as Solomon's love, black and comely. Yes, they feel that nature's failure to bestow upon their daughter's comiliness of form and beau y of face has rendered her unfit for the work of if teaching in Richmond, although b neath that homely exterior my be a heart and mind endowed wish all those noble traits of true womanly nature and intelligence so essential to a true teacher.—The Reformer.
