VOL. XXV. NO. 14. PHENOMENAL CAREER OF PROF N.E. WEATHERLESS—A GRADUATE OF THE COLLEGE THE LAW SCHOOL AND THE MANUAL TRAINING SCHOOL. A Real "Doer" and not a Mere "Sayer" of the Word. His Birthplace. Nelson Elsmere Weatherless was born in Bedford county, Va., January 14th, 1866. His parents were possessed of sturdy, sterling qualities which went far towards shaping the formative life of their only surviving son. His mother died when he was only six months old, but through the watchful solicitude of a father's care, he was well provided for and given every educational advantage that the community afforded. Early Educational Work. Young Weatherless made such progress with his studies that he was appointed a public school teacher when only fourteen years of age. He taught at Fancy Grove, Wolf Hill and New Bethel, Va., with marked success, until 1883, when, feeling the need of larger equipment in teaching, which, even at that early age he had settled upon as his life-work, he resigned his position to prosecute his studies at Knoxville College, Knoxville, Tenn. Graduation from Knoxville College, Knoxville, Tenn. While attending the Knoxville College he was appointed teacher of vocal music in the institution, and his splendid work in musical directions was highly appreciated by the faculty as well as by the music-loving people of Knoxville. After graduating with high honors from the Normal Department of Knoxville College, in the spring of 1884, he returned home, intent upon working in the factory in the summer and teaching school in the winter, until sufficient money could be saved to complete a full college course in some northern university. Principal of Graded Schools of Salem, Roanoke County, Va. Learning that a new principal would be appointed for the colored Graded Schools of Salem, Roanoke county, Va., and that the position would be given to the applicant standing highest in a competitive examination to be held for the place he accordingly went to Salem—entered the examination and received the appointment from the superintendent. The school over which this boy of 19 assumed charge contained over 500 pupils and a corps of competent teachers. Supt. of Schools Declares Him An Efficient Principal, Thorough Teacher and Best Disciplinarian of His Race He Had Ever Seen. He remained principal of the Salem Graded Schools for four years, resigning at the close of the school in 1888 to enter Howard University the following fall. It is declared by those competent to judge that the four years of his principalship at Salem was the most successfull period their school ever enjoyed. So highly did the superintendent and trustees value his services that they gave him a substantial increase in the salary over that paid to any preceding principal. When he resigned his position to prosecute further study, the superintendent gave him the most flattering commendations for the efficient and masterly manner in which he had conducted this important interest. The following letter speaks for itself: NORMAL INSTITUTE CONDUCTOR. William M. Graybill, Principal First and Second Ward Graded Schools. Roanoke City, Va., Sept. 7, 1888. To whom it may concern: As Principal of Salem Graded School (white), and as Superintendent of schools of Roanoke县, I know well the work of N. E. Weatherless, Principal of Salem Graded Schools (colored). I do not hesitate to say that as an efficient Principal, a thorough teacher and as a disciplinarian, he is the best of his race I have ever seen. He has done much to elevate his race and promote the general good in this county. Supt. Schools of Roanoke Co. P. S.-Dear Weatherless--I take pleasure in commending your work at Salem. Your puipils are among the best teachers of this county. The intelligent good people of Salem and of this county appreciate your valuable work here. Always do right as you did here, and success will follow you. With best wishes for your success in college, I am Yours very truly, (Signed) William M. Graybill. The foregoing letter is only a sample of many others which Mr. Weatherless (Continued on Second Page. LOU COSLEY. One of the best known places in the city is conducted by Mr. Lou Cosley, 1305 Pennsylvania N. W. Mr. Cosley was formerly a partner with Mr. Gray He purchased the house formerly conducted by Mr. Satterwhite. Mr. Cosley is popular among all elements and a man who has an eye to business. He thoroughly overhailed the house and put in new furniture. One significant feature about the house, there are no pictures against the walls. The walls have the finest paper on them and the decorations are new and beautiful. The sample room has one of the finest mirrors of any house in the city. In the rear is a commodious pool parlor with several large pool and billiard tables. This parlor is handsomely decorated. The second floor is the ladies' parlor with several compartments, separated by heavy curtains. The third floor contains two private dining rooms, also beautiful furnished. In this house you can anything in the table or drinking line. Mr. Cosley is well prepared to serve all who patronize him. He is an affable gentleman who is liked by all who know him. He caters to the taste of his customers. He does everything in his power to please. Mr. George Johnson is also with Mr. Cosley who alone is a drawing card. There is no necessity for the people to go to places where they are not wanted because Mr. Cosley has a place equal to any in the city. MR. RICHARD PALMER. Mr. Richard Palmer, one of the leading business men of Hampton, Va., and proprietor of a large dry goods and notion store and the leading blacksmith and horse-shoer and carriage-builder in that place was born in Mecklenburg county, Va., some fifty-two years ago. In 1881 he came to Hampton, where he secured work in the Hampton Normal School, working in the day and attending school at night. He soon learned blacksmithing, a trade that he had acquired before coming to Hampton. He also attended school at Harpers Ferry, W. Va., and at the same time pursuing his trade. He left Harpers Ferry and went to Cambridge, Mass., where he worked for three years, returning to Hampton in the spring of 1881 and finding that the little growing town of Hampton needed a horse-shoer and a carriage-maker, or in other words all-around man. Here was an opening and Mr. Palmer soon saw that it was the place for him. How well he was guided by his good judgment is told in the thriving business and success he achieved. His chosen vocation, that of a blacksmith and horse-shoer, at the time he opened business in Hampton, was successful. His superior workmanship and strict attention to business and straight dealing with the people made him the MR. RICHARD PALMER. leading business man in the town. In this business he leads all others. He is also engaged in real estate in which business he also has success. He is to-day worth ninety thousand dollars. He owns valuable property in the city of Hampton, and his house, No. 179-1818 W. Queen street, was recently built and is one of the finest business houses on that street. His private apartments above the store are used for his dwelling and are furnished in the latest style of modern architecture. Mr. Palmer is a member of the National Colored Business Men's League and attended its meeting held in New York a few weeks ago. He is an Odd Fellow and Mason, and a member of one of the leading churches in Hampton. People dealing with Mr. Palmer say he is a man of his word. He has a wife and two children, Susie B., who is a student at the Hampton, and Richard F., who is one of the head clerks in his father's store. What I Saw And Has-d I met Attorney Cobb on the street a few days ago and I was informed that he heard Terrell's speech. I asked him to tell something, but, he thought silence was golden. My old friend W. L. Pallard never takes back anything. He had a great deal to say about Terrell's blunder. He was in New York and from what he says Terrell was not asked to speak: Attorney Pallard is a friend of the servant class. I haven't heard a good word spoken for Bob Terrell. The people are indignant. The Attorney General is satisfied that Bob ought to go at the expiration of his term of service, notwithstanding Bob's declaration that he will be reappointed. There is a petition in circulation and it is being liberally signed by those who have plenty of time and money. I favor the appointment of Attorney Cobb as assistant prosecuting attorney. I think he would make a good officer. If the colored attorney will concentrate on one man I am of the opinion that Mr. Baker will give the negro recognition. President Roosevelt thinks THE NEW YORK TIMES PROF. NELSON E. WEATHERLESS. that a colored lawyer should be appointed. Well there is to be an investigation of the school again. There are several things that ought to be investigate,if reports are true. There is as much of a division among colored attorneys as there is among the whites. From all that has been said, the Lawyer's Excursion will be largely attended. It will be an all-day affair and I feel confident that the affair will be a great success. Elinor STICK TOGETHER We must stick, must stick together, Must firmly grasp each other's hand If we would have a bit of sway Or power in the land. We cannot seek each his own way And along it march alone, And still expect full power enough To shake a monarch's throne. We must cease our separating Overthings a thought unworth; We must cease our quick dividing 'Cause we all can't rule the earth— And must stand and stick together In the dark and in the light, We must cease us from our forming Each his little worthless band, And it leading to destroy The very things that ought to stand— And must stand all linked together Not a single one left out, If we'd power have to battle Things which we should put to rout. We must stick, must stick together— As one mighty force must stand, If we'd withstand the mighty siege Being waged on every hand. We cannot single-handed live— 'Tis only folly for to try! We must stand and stick together, Or lose the fight and die. —CLARENCE EMERY ALLEN. Paragraphic News BY MISS BEATRIZ L. CHASE The large safe of the Three Bridges at Flemington, N.

PRODUCT OF COLLEGE, LAW SCHOOL AND MANUAL TRAINING SCHOOL. A REAL "DOER," AND NOT A MERE "SAYER," OF THE "WORD." Continued From First Page holds from many of the best people of Salem and Roanoke county, Va., among whom are such distinguished then as Judge Blair, of Salem, Va., for 30 years and still Judge of the Circuit and County Courts of Roanoke county; Mr. Frank C. Chalmers, President of the Salem National Bank; Mr. W. E. Younger, Mayor of Salem for 25 years, and President of the Salem Investment and Trust Company; Mr. Brand, Treasurer of Roanoke county for over 25 years; Mr. Dent, editor of the SalemTimes Register and clerk of the Circuit and County Courts; and others. In the fall of 1888 young Weatherless matriculated in Howard University, completed the Middle and Senior classes, Preparatory Department, in one year, and graduated at the head of his class. Flush of success in the Preparatory Department, proud of the university he had selected for his higher training and ardent in his belief then, and still of the opinion, that Howard University, located at the capitol of the greatest nation on the globe, is the best place for a young man to be educated, young Weatherless entered the College Department of Howard University in the following fall, and tour years later. grad- ```markdown ``` WEATHFRLFSS' RESIDENCE, 2402 BRIGHTWOOD AVENUE, WASHINGTON D C (PHOTOGRAPHED AND DEVELOPED BY N.

While in college he won every prize offered his class, notably among which were the Kelly Miller Gold Medal for the highest average above 90 in college mathematics for four years, the Robert B. Warder prize for the highest proficiency in Physics and special mention from Prof. Kenaston for superior work in Greek. Having received an appointment upon examination to a clerkship in the city post office, he remained in Washington after graduation in 1893 and took up the study of law in Howard University Law School in the fall of 1894, receiving his degree of Bachelor of Laws in 1897 and that of Master of Laws in 1898, several months after his appointment to the position of Director of Physics in the M Street High School, made vacant by the promotion of Prof. Robert H. Terrell to the principalship. Director of Physics, M Street High School. The Department of Physics is a most important branch of our high school instruction. It is, really the connecting link between the so-called theoretical and practical phases of education. Under Prof. Weatherless there has been a marked improvement in the equipment and laboratory facilities. There are thirteachers and 200 pupils in this department, and the visitor to the M Street High School never fails to comment upon the thoroughness and efficiency displayed. His pupils have received special mention in such colleges as Harvard, Amherst and Oberlin for proficiency in Physics. His work in the school room is comprehensive, exhaustive and inspiring, being a teacher of large and varied experience and of the most complete and thorough preparation. At Rochester Athenacum and Mechanics Institute, Rochester, N. Y. In 1899 and 1900 Prof. Weatherless, in order to gain a broader grasp upon the educational problems with which he had to deal, completed a course in Manual Training at the Great Rochester Athenaeum and Mechamcs Institute, of Rochester, New York, from which he holds a certificate of qualification and letters of the very highest recommendation. The following Letter will give some idea of the esteem in which he is held at the school: Prof. W. W. Murray, Director of Manual Training, Rochester, N.

To whom it may concern: I desire to add to the certificate of the Rochester Athenaeum and Mechanics Institute my personal testimonial of the ability of Prof. N. E. Weatherless, who has been a member of my Teachers Training class. His work, as a pupil-teacher, was marked by that painstaking thoroughness as is found in teaches of his broad culture. Prof Weatherless has not only completed a course in Manual Training, but has also made that careful study of the history, theory and methods as to become thoroughly conversant with the subject, both theoretical and practical. This makes him a rarely valuable man for supervisor or principal. He is a man with power to think and inspire others with enthusiasm, and shows sympathetic insight into the interests of students. He is well equipped to carry forward the work of a Manual Training School, for which position I most heartily recommend him. Meets Dr. Booker T. Washington. In 1886 Dr. Booker T.

Patterson was employed as a co-worker of the great apostle of industrial education. Prof. Weatherless has ever been a firm believer in the ownership of land by the colored people of the South. Observations and experiences gained among his people as a teacher brought him to this conclusion. His conversation with Mr. Washington in 1886 only strengthened his belief and from that time on his mind was thoroughly made up to purchase, equip and manage a farm in the South himself after his college education had been completed; and thereby demonstrate his belief in his own theory; and further to demonstrate that college education did not necessarily render a man unfit to do practical things, and to show the colored farmers what intelligence, skill and forethought on a farm would accomplish. In pursuance of this purpose, in 1896, he purchased a farm of 200 acres in Bedford county, Va., near the school which he had taught in 1883. Disaster Predicted When lie took possession, there was nothing on the place except the man dwelling and a few out houses. Everything had been sold. The old apple orchard, which had borne fruit bountifully for 75 summers and weathered the storms of many winters, was in decay.

(From Photo.—Flash judgment* to certain failure But Prof Weatherless was undaunted His First and Second Steps His first step was to surround the entire farm with a good outside fence to keep his stock in and thereby prevent misunderstandings with his neighbors. Accordingly he succeeded in building around the entire place the strongest and best-woven-wire fence in the county, and some say in the State. This at once aroused interest and inspired confidence in this young Washington Professor who dared undertake to teach the seasoned veterans how to farm. His --- next step was to plant fruit trees to supplant the old apple orchard and supply the place with fruit. He planted 500 young apple trees in the fall of 1897. During the time these general and very essential repairs were going on, he had been purchasing, for the cash, from the stores and from the farmers in the neighborhood, things that are absolutely needed on a farm, such as horses, cows, hogs, food-stuffs for stock, wagons, harness, plows, harrows, cradles, grind-stones, in fact everything needed on a farm. Success from the Start. By the first of January, 1808, everything was in readiness for the crops of the year and he proceeded at once fit a business-like way with the work in hand. Suffice it to say that each year has found the industrial farm and its proprietor in better shape than ever before, until to-day. New Bethel Farm is recorded as one of the best equipped, stocked and managed farms in the county. Natural Increase on Industrial Farm From two young heifers, bought in the fall of 1898, he has succeeded in raising 15 as fine Jersey-Durham cows as are to be found anywhere; one horse has been increased to six; from one brood sow has sprung a drove of hogs; and sufficient grain and roughness of every kind are now raised to feed all the stock and some to sell.

The whole farm has been divided into separate fields, in which crops and stock are shifted to the very best advantage. The large long strip of bottom land, watered by a splendid creek for its whole length, is made to enrich the galls and thin places on the land. The entire rank growth of bushes and weeds, which spring up annually along the sides of branches in low bottom land, are cut and thrown into gullies, washouts and on thin places. Weeds and bushes, cut from fences and other places, are treated in like manner with the result that to-day, on every hand, may be seen evidences of the most substantial improvements. Raises and Sells to a Washington Expert Two Bay Fillies for $400.00 Mr. Weatherless is especially proud of the fact that he has been able to raise a pair of bay fillies, which he brought to Washington, D. C., in the fall of 1903, and sold to Mr. David L. Stewart Undertaker, cor. 12th and Q streets N. W., for $400.00. The lucky owner is proud of the fact that he drives as fine a pair of colts and perfect matches as is to be found in the national capital. Discards Credit in Making Purchases on Farm. In the management of his farm Prof Weatherless determined to avoid credit, which he felt has been the bane of the colored farmer all over the South. By paying for, everything cash he has been enabled to avoid disputes, likely to arise over accounts, and to purchase everything at rock-bottom prices. From this determination he has never swerved a hair's breadth at any time or with any- body, and with the result that the local deafers, who do business with farmers, are glad to welcome him because he is a cash customer. Such a course on a farm must be beneficial to all parties. All possibility of friction is eliminated: the vendor is pleased because he gets the cash; and the purchaser is satisfied because he buys at the lowest prices. ```markdown ``` The image provided is too blurry and low-resolution to accurately recognize any text or graphics.

An Example, Worthy of Evulation When we consider what this mere boy, coming to Washington 16 years ago without money or friends or influential connections, has accomplished, and still is doing, we cannot escape the conclusion that he is endowed with transcendent practical ability and unusual executive capacity. The play record of his life is an illustration of the possibilities of his race: CLEARING A FARRE FIELD, FARM and is worthy of simulation by every boy struggling against the same odds with which he had to contend. He needs no culegy. His life-work pronounces that. Suffice it to say: There's no reward in honor's case, Too great for him to bear; There is no rose in any vase. Too rich for him to wear.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF MASONIC HALL BUILDING ASSOCIATION. --- --- PROF. WEATHERLESS. In another part of this issue will be found as much as can be conveniently compressed within the limited space devoted to personal references, touching the career of Prof. Weatherless, who is favorably mentioned as a suitable person to fill the position either as Supervising Principal or as Principal of Armstrong. It seems hardly necessary to recapitulate the various mental and moral endowments or the industrial and material success of one so well and favorably known as Prof. Weatherless. In the first place we have no hesitancy whatever in declaring that the Professor is pre-eninently fitted to perform the duties of Supervising Principal. To start with he is a good man, against whom there is no shadow or taint of scandal, his moral qualities standing out as a distinguishing feature of his character. He is free from cliques and cabals and junkets. His moral heroism, his keen discrimination between truth and error, rights and wrongs, and his freedom from deceit, his broad Christianity, his self-originating power, his executive "BEFOULS HIS OWN NEST." Every nationality upon the globe is against the colored man. The last country to be heard from was Japan, as one of her envoys declared that the negro was an inferior race and 'should be so treated. Japan which is about to be clothed in civilization and be crowned with American respect has shown her cloven foot by declaring that the "American negro is inferior and should be so treated." It is not enough for all other nationalities to declare the inferiority of the negro, but here comes the negro himself and admits the inferiority. Not exactly the entire negro race, but the so-called educated negro who has elevated himself from a common waiter to that of an officer under the government who would like to be regarded a great man, but like a parrot, repeats the words of his master and declares that thousands of negro idlers exist in the city of Washington. When the negro "befouls his own nest," what is to be expected from other people? The negro must not only protect himself against the enemies without but he must defend himself against those within and his own people at that. What makes the negro an inferior race? Just think of it—what has he accomplished since his freedom? Go South, of which so much has been said, and see the negro in business. The Bee from the report of its literary editor, tells of the wonderful progress the colored people have made in the city of Richmond. Go further South, and you will see greater progress. This "Jap's" own country is fighting for her independence and he should remember that his country has not been civilized. The colored man, although he has been recently emancipated, has always been grateful to those who were instrumental in giving him his freedom. He has never betrayed his flag and neither has he been ungrateful to those who kept The negro has his own to contend with. He is surrounded by foes without and foes within. On one side we have a class that wants to be white which the whites repudiate and has made every effort to set up a society of its own. Indeed this class repudiates themselves. Let the bleached negro first say what he wants and then the others will know what to do. The negro "befouls his own nest." BOOKER'S POLICY PUNCTURED. The furious outbreak of passion at the South against Mr. Booker T. Washington because of his recent diving with Mr. John Wanamaker at Saratoga is a most emphatic illustration of the futility if not criminality of Mr. Washington's policy of social separateness and economic oneness. The social and the economic are so united and blended that it is impossible to seperate them either in theory or practice. There can be no substantial and enduring economic advance without some sort of social contact. Towns and cities promote trade and business by means of fairs and expositions. By these means people are brought together in friendly intercourse, and out of this friendly intercourse grows business relations and organization. Commerce between nations is promoted much in the same way. The diplomatic service of the nations is largely concerned in fostering trade relations through the social contact which the representatives of the nations have with one another. For Mr. Washington's personal fortunes we care nothing at all. We are as indifferent to them as he is to abstract thought and freedom of discussion. And for these he constantly expresses the utmost contempt. But we are deeply concerned in the development and progress of the ten millions of colored people in the United States. It has been clear all along that Mr. Washington's policy would some day receive a rude jolt, and that he would come to the end of the row. The following extract from a speech by the late Hon. Frederick Douglass delivered in this city October 21, 1890, predicted with prophetic vision the result of catering the southern pro-slavery sentiment. Strike out the word Montgomery and insert the word Washington, and every sentence will have an application pertinent to the policy and conduct of the Tuskegeean. We commend these words to the consideration of compromisers and submissionists: "And now comes Mr. Isaiah Montgomery, of Mississippi, with his solution of the pretended negro problem. He has surrendered to a disloyal state a great franchise given to himself and people by a loyal nation. He has taken the work of solving the nation's problem out of the nation's hands. He has virtually said to the nation: 'You have done wrong in giving us this great liberty.' He has surrendered a part of his rights to an enemy who will make this surrender a reason for demanding all of his rights. He has conducted his people to a depth from which they will be invited to a lower deep, for if he can right- COLOR LINE IN SCHOOLS. It is a notorious fact that there exist in the schools of this city a disposition to draw the color line. Of course some of the school officials will not permit this question to touch them, but nevertheless it is a fact. THE BEE is aware that such a question was prevalent in the schools years ago and trustees used to resort to methods repulsive and questionable to defeat the appointment of worthy teachers. Prior to the appointment of Dr. Geo. H. Richardson, Rev. Sterling N. Brown, Mr. John H. Wright and Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, the color line in the public schools was closely drawn. It is also a fact that prior to the appointment of the above school officers dozens of worthy graduates from the Normal School had been ignored on account of their color and condition. THE BEE will say to the credit of these school officers that the color question never entered into their minds when the appointment of a teacher was to be considered. Young girls who had been out of school for years were taken up and appointed by these school officers. They were worthy and were entitled to these appointments. It was merit with them and not favoritism. Then again, these school officials very seldom if at any time, went on the outside and imported teachers to the District. Home interest was always consulted first and it is believed that there is enough talent in our schools today without THE SERVANT GIRL Notwithstanding the recent libel against the servant class in this city, there is one thing certain and that is, the servant class prior to and very subsequent to reconstruction was the leading element of colored society. You could find as much virtue and morality in that class at that time as you can find in the traducers of the servant class of to-day. Indeed, the servant class at that time would not permit a man to walk the street, accompanied by a lady or servant, with a cigar in his mouth. And neither would a man be allowed to walk with a lady-servant, if you please, locked arms in the public street. But how many of the so-called high class negroes can be seen drunk upon the public street, in bar rooms, at balls, parties, etc.? How many of the servant class traducers can you see going to loan offices or ten per centers and pledge their jewels, because many of the ten percenters will not take their honor because they have none. If the servant girl were treated with the respect due her there would be an elevated negro society in the city of Washington. The great trouble with one which pays sick and death benefits endeavors to get away from his struggling class. He thinks himself above the lower classes. There is more pride in the middle classes of colored people than there is in a great portion of the upper class. If the negro attorney depended on this so-called superior class of negroes he would starve. This class of negroes generally seek the white attorney, which was fully demonstrated in the Capital Savings Bank cases that were filed in the upper court. The fleeced depositors, otherwise the idlers, employed negro attorneys. Can the same be said of the directors? Just wait and watch Baron Komura, who thinks that Lincoln made a mistake, should return to Japan and civilize his countrymen. Dr. Booker T. Washington and his private secretary, Emmett Jay Scott, should write a book entitled "How It Is Done." Ohio has declared for Senator Foraker. Ohio generally gets what she wants. President Roosevelt is to be congratulated. He is Roosevelt the peace maker. The BEE leads while all others follow. If you don't think so just try it once. The white people in this city don't thank negroes for abusing each other for the sake of office. The Afro-American Council has met and adjourned. It copied after the Niagara movement. Our esteemed friend, T. Thomas Fortune, is a genial fellow. Thomas is being well supplied now. Judge O'Neal is making a popular official. He has good common sense and he knows how to use it. THE BLACK PRESIDENT IS "REGENERATOR." Title Voted General Nord by Parliament. Port Au Prince, Haiti, Aug. 28. Gen. Alexis Nord, who has been President of Haiti since December, 1902, has just had conferred upon him the title of "Regenerator of the Country" by parliament. That body has also voted him a residence worth $5,000. Both acts were inspired by "a desire to recognize services Nord has rendered the public." While there is no immediate prospect that this act will arouse effective criticism here, disinterested observers in and out of Haiti will be inclined to wonder what called it forth. Perhaps the best reason would be found in President Nprd's own desires. It is more than suspected that he suggested to parliament that testimonials, both honorary and material, to the success of his administration would be appropriate, and since parliament is It is true that his government, like that of his predecessors, has been beset by clamorings of foreign debtors, and the general's imperial impatience has led him, upon two or three occasions, to jail citizens of other nations, thus bringing the country to the verge of serious difficulties. The people of the United States are wearily familiar with the many complaints of Haitian contumacy filed at Washington by and through Minister Powell. The date and circumstances of General Nord's birth are not known to biographers. Indeed, it has been hinted that the general himself is not sure when or where he first saw the light. A local authority asserts that the time was the year 1811, but, as that would make the general ninety-four, the assertion can hardly be accurate. If it is, he carries his years and his tumultuous experiences, acquired in all the armed uprisings in Haiti during three-quarters of a century, with amazing ease. THE COLUMBIA BENEFIT ASSOCIATION. I believe our readers and friends will be glad to learn that a new enterprise has been opened in the District of Columbia whose object is to be of some material help to the community. This is the Columbia Benefit Association, an association formed to pay sick and death benefits to children and adults, and give employment to our young men and women, the men at the head are tired of so much talk without some work, so Rev. William J. Howard, Edmund Hill, Jr., J. A. Lankford, Geo. F. Collins, and others bound themselves together and deposited with the American Security and Trust Co. the full paid-up capital stock and have asked the public to help them help the community. These are all men of pluck, push and ability and are succeeding along their special lines. Notice their advertisement in another column. SHOW UP. The Bee is prepared to show that from January 1, 1905 to date not over ten servant girls have sited their white mistresses in all the justices' courts in the District of Columbia. Will Mr. Robert H. Terrell name the many servant girls of color that he has decided against in the interest of the white mistress. The next issue of The Bee will contain facts and figures. W. L. TAYLOR, JR Mr. W. L. Taylor, Jr., the son of Rev. W. L. Taylor, of Richmond, Va. has been in the city for some time. Since his stay here he has won a host of friends who have done all in their power to help him. Mr. Taylor is a young man of ability, very entertaining and very successful in business. The Bee will contain a brief sketch of Mr. Taylor next week and his cut. The Negro Business League of the District of Columbia will have its regular monthly meeting Monday night. September 11, at the True Reformers Hall in room 5.

He also said that he did not have a negro on his application and neither did he want any. Mr. Terrell's onslaught on the servant class of this ciey was made for one purpose only, that was to gain the support of the white people. In that he has failed, because the white people don't agree with him. DESIRE STATEHOOD. AGITATION IN INDIAN AND OKLAHOMA TERRITORIES. Governors of Choctaw and Chickasaw Nations Resist Interior Department—The Tribes Involved. Vinita, I. T.—The commercial interests in the Indian territory are preparing to take up the night in the coming session of congress to make one state out of Indian and Oklahoma territories. It is contended that Indian territory should be admitted as a state with Oklahoma on the same footing. On March 4, 1906, the tribal governments will go out of existence and the tribal officers will, under the present law, pass into history as the last officers of the five tribes. It is probable that after this day not even a single tribal officer will be permitted to exercise any of the prerogatives of his office. The chief of the Cherokees has believed all the time that when he was elected in August, 1903, for a term of four years some provision would be made for his continuance in office after the tribal governments became abolished by law, but the recent rulings of the interior department to the effect that none of the tribal funds can be used to support Cherokee schools is taken to mean that none of the tribal funds can be used to pay the chief's salary. Another fact which lends credence to the belief that the governors and chiefs of the five tribes will be no longer officers after March is that the governors of the Choctaw and Chickasaw nations have been obstreperous and have been resisting the Interior department in the matter of the delivery of deeds. The monthly reports of the heads of departments in the office of Tams Dixby, commissioner to the five civilized tribes, since he has succeeded the Dawes commission indicate that the work of allotment is progressing in a highly satisfactory manner. The work in the Creek nation and in the Seminole country is practically completed and it is believed that the work in the Cherokee nation will be practically completed by the first of the year. It is also believed that the Chootaw and Chickasaw land offices will soon follow the Cherokee office in completing the work of allotment. It is believed here that with the coming of statehood cor press will remove the restrictions upon the alienation of lands on all citizens except full-bloods, and thus open up the country from a commercial point of view and clear the way for good farmers. The statements prepared by the commercial interests of the five civilized tribes show that the total taxable lands in the five civilized tribes is as follows: Seminoles, 253,418.52 acres; Cherokees, 3,631,231; Creeks, 2,560,853; Chootaws and Chickasaws..10,780,935 acres. The total of nontaxable land in the five civilized tribes of Indian territory is as follows: Seminoles, 110,160 acres; Cherokees, 1,400,000 acres; Creeks 596,000 acres; Choctaws and Chickasaws, 500,000 acres, making a total of nontaxable lands 2,112,120 acres. The Quawpaw reservation. In the northwest corner of the Indian territory, has been allotted and consists of a number of small Indian tribes, who own about 25,000 acres of land, nearly all of which for the present will be nontaxable unless congress removes the restrictions upon the sale of any of this land.

SCANDALOUS EXECUTION. Inhuman Conduct of Crowds About Guillotine in Town in North of France.' Paris.—The guillotining of two murderers at Dunkirk recently was accompanied with details causing a great scandal. The condemned were two Flemish men who had killed for her money the wife of a well-to-do bargeman in the north of France. Long before the hour arrived for the men to meet their fate a bowling mob held possession of the precincts where the prison is situated. The soldiery and police were unable to control them. The complete demoralization of even the officials was shown by the fact that they came near granting a petition by the husband of the murdered woman that he allowed, on payment of $2,000, to let the knife drop on the necks of the doomed men. They promised him instead a place in the front rank of the privileged spectators so that his wife's assassins must be sure to see him as soon as they were brought near to the guillotine. This promise was kept, the old bargeman wearing a horrible grin of pleasure as the prisoners met him face to face on the way to their death. The first man met his fate bravely. As soon as his head dropped in the basket a yell of savage bloodfirstness went up from the crowd. Satisfaction Guaranteed. APECULIAR PEOPFE. "Peculiar People" is a new book for the millions.

Parls.—A curious case now before a French tribunal invokes a point which has not yet come up for legal settlement. A certain New York doctor, whose name thus far is withheld, recently accompanied a wealthy western American to Italy, where his patient after a lingering illness died. In order to avoid the trouble and formalities of carrying the body to the United States in a coffin the doctor on his own authority had the corpse cremated. The ashes were placed in a small urn, which was then packed carefully and shipped as ordinary freight on which he paid the usual tariff according to weight. The doctor landed on the American side all right, but the steamship company discovered his secret and demanded the price of carrying a dead body in a coffin, which amounts to nearly $150 more than the doctor paid for the urn's transportation. This he refused and the case must be decided at Paris, since it was at a French port that the urn was shipped. The impression here is that the company will lose the case. TO DUPLICATE EVERY GUN. Precaution That Is Deemed Necessary by the Naval General Board. Washington.—Every gun in the navy will have its duplicate to guard against any emergency and accident, if the recommendation of the naval chief of ordinance is carried out. The naval general board, it is believed, thoroughly approves of it, and consequently the naval estimates to go before the next congress may contain a formidable item to cover the cost of producing the new guns. Such accidents as have happened in recent years, particularly to the big turret guns of the battleships, would compel the ship to go into action in disabled condition or be laid up for months in a navy yard. The idea is to keep spare guns in stock at convenient points to immediately replace the damaged ones. Growth of Things Out West. A correspondent of the Checotah (I. T.) Times, and for whose veracity that paper vouches, tells the following: "The terrible news comes from the western part of the Cherokee Nation that a boy climbed a cornstalk to see how the corn was getting along, and now the corn is growing up faster than the boy can climb down. The boy is clear out of sight. Three men have undertaken to cut the stalk down with axes and save the boy from starvation, but it grows so fast that they can't hack twice in the same place. The boy is living on nothing but raw corn and already has thrown down over four bushels of cobs." Decorated Chef. King Edward's chef. M. Menager, was among those to receive birthday honor on the occasion of his majesty's recent birthday. He is believed to be among the most accomplished chefs in the world. He was decorated with the Victorian medal. Other recipients of that distinction are understood to feel that in conferring the medal on a cook King Edward has rather cheapened the honor. 425 TENTH SREET.N. W.

Donovan from the famous Baseball House, located at 1528 Seventh street, N.W., with the Stars and Stripes glittering from its gaff and defiance to all competitors thundering from its steel-clad turrets, has weathered every gale and returned safely from every voyage, because Mr. Donovan knows the highways of successful business enterprise are strewn with the derelicts of pretension and misrepresentation, and that quality alone, and quality strictly and strenuously adhered to, is the only chart and surest recommendation of those who wish to indulge in the delicious, stimulating, health-giving virtue of a truly honest American whiskey—the "Columbia Club."

He covered 25,000 miles by auto in 210 days, passing through 24 countries and 8,000 cities, towns and villages. Besides he traveled 24,627 miles by water, which alone took 78 days. He carried the American flag to Upper Torneo, in the Arctic circle, in Sweden, and to Bluff. New Zealand. Mr. Glidden was accompanied by his wife and a machinist. He plans a tour of Africa this fall.

Valuable Canines of Pennsylvania Town Lose Ivories in Mysterious Manner. Philadelphia.—Following the poisoning of several valuable dogs in Ardmore recently comes the discovery that some unknown culprit had been going about pulling the teeth of blooded canines. What object anyone could possibly have in pulling dogs' teeth or for what purpose they are wanted are questions that threaten to give residents brain fatigue. The most plausible reason suggested so far is that some father whose child has suffered from the fangs of a dog, or some man who has himself been bitten, is acting as canine tooth extractor out of revenge. The first dog to fall victim to the tooth puller was a white poodle, valued at $100, owned by a resident of South Ardmore. The dog, aside from its value and beauty, was master of many clever tricks, some of which were performed with the aid of its mouth and teeth. One day the dog, which had been away from home during the morning, appeared at the back door of the Moylan cottage whining piteously. A servant who opened the door noticed that there was something strange about the dog, and that it did not appear as lively as usual. Thinking that it was suffering from the heat, the servant let the canine go unnoticed until after lunch. Then a bone was thrown to the dog, and, instead of catching it in its teeth and scampering off, as it usually did, the animal walked up to where the bone lay, gave a few snuffs, and ran off whining. In the evening the owner was informed of the strange actions of the dog, and upon making an investigation he discovered that every tooth had disappeared from the animal's mouth. The belief that some strange disease had stricken the canine and caused the teeth to fall out kept the dog's owner from making his discovery known to his neighbors. He decided, however, to seek the advice of a veterinary physician, when he found that there were other dogs that were minus their teeth, having lost them as mysteriously as had his own. It was discovered through the visit of a friend that three other valuable and blooded dogs had fallen victims of the tooth puller. The dogs were owned by residents of South Ardmore: The dogs were collies, and every tooth had been pulled. Many residents believe that a dental student is responsible for the pulling of the dogs' teeth, but the owners of the canines are not satisfied at this explanation, and believe that there lies a deep mystery around the strange case. NEW TEST OF WIRELESS. Thunder of Great Guns May Interfere with Accuracy of Telegraphy. New York.—It was said at the Brooklyn navy yard that the next experiments by the North Atlantic fleet in wireless telegraphy will be in the nature of observations in the efficiency and accuracy of the wireless instruments when all the guns are being fired. Observations made at Pensacola last spring showed that there is little to fear from the effects of shock and jar of one gun, but what is sought now is information as to whether the same immunity will be enjoyed when all guns are fired, as in case of battle. There is some prehension that the instruments will not survive this test of "battle efficiency," as the thunder and air vibration caused by the firing of numerous big guns is very great. Much of the present work in experimenting in wireless telegraphy has to do only with a comparison of circumstances by means of wireless communications with the shore stations which are in close touch with the naval observatory. The change from this "clocking" work, as it is called, to the broader field of battle serviceability is awaited with interest, not only by those who are directly engaged with the wireless experiments, but also by the officials of the navy department, who expect important conclusions will be derived from the tests. TORPEDO LIKE BOOMERANG Discharged from American Gunboat It Returns and Hits the Vessel. Newport, R. I.—It seems impossible that a vessel should fire a torpedo and have it come back and hit the very vessel from which it was fired, but this thing has happened. The Vesuvius is the vessel which made the record. She was out to fire torpedoes, and it is to be presumed every precaution was taken to start the torpedo right. One was fired and went straight to the target. The second was fired apparently under similar conditions. It made a turn and came back straight for the side of the Vesuvius. There was no excitement on board. Orders were given to close the water-tight compartments and to do all sorts of things, but there was no special occasion for alarm. The old dynamite cruiser was in no danger of sinking and reached the torpedo station all right, minus the torpedo that hit her. When torpedoes are fired in practice, as these were, a practice head is used. This practice head does not contain explosives, and that explains why the Vesuvius was not injured. The performance of this torpedo suggests that perhaps some of the Russian vessels torpedoed in the fighting in the far east were struck by their own torpedoes and not by those of the Japanese.

Boston.—The United States ship Vesuvius, ence the only dynamite gunboat in any navy, which in the Spanish war frightened many Spanish soldiers and sailors at Santiago, will go into commission again in a few days at the Charlestown navy yard. She is a dynamite cruiser no longer, her new designation being a torpedo training ship. She will be stationed at the torpedo station at Newport. About $200,000 has been expended at the local yard in refitting the ship for her new work. About all that remains of the old fittings are her hull and engines, and these have been thoroughly overhauled and are entirely new in many parts. The work of rebuilding and refitting has been in progress about a year. The ship, a "white elephant" of the navy, will at last be of some practical service, it is now said. She has been 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 before the torpedo instruction ship idea was decided upon.

EASY RIDING, STRONG, DURABLE, SELF HEALING FULLY COVERED by PATENTS BEWARE 'OF IMITATIONS MENTAL BREEDING. SCIENTIFIC MARRIAGE AS A CURE FOR DISEASES. Points Presented by London Physician in Proof of an Eminently Reasonable London.—The future work of medicine, said Dr. Henry Maudsley at the British Medical association congress at Leicester recently, will be mainly to prevent and stop the beginnings of disease; in fact, to teach the body to die at last of old age, as every doctor ought theoretically himself to die. Might not some good come, he asked, from systematic inquiries into the production and elimination of constitutional disease tendencies and disease immunities by the marriage unions of different tendencies and immunities? When a person had a disease unlike that which either parent had, he might still owe it to those variations occurring in morbid heredity just as they do physiologically. What was the constitutional disposition, if any, most likely to cause a tendency to cancer? Having regard to the local invasion and distribution of cancer, its provocation by local irritation, its more than accidental heredity, and its quiet settlement in the system, it seemed probable that its unruly proliferation of cells, however provoked, betrayed the awakening to activity of the silent memories of ancestral germinal growth. Another point worthy of investigation was how best to mate the person having a native tendency to insanity so as to cancel it in the progeny, or, better still, convert it into a good evolution variation, for that was what sometimes happened, one child of a neuropathic family dying in a lunatic asylum, while another rose to eminence as poet, painter or orator. Why, and under what conditions, was the epilepsy of one generation transformed into the insanity of the next generation? How was it that diabetes and insanity go together in some families or alternate in them through generations? When medical science could answer these and like questions it might then dictate some wise eugenic rules. In concluding an address which was closely followed by a crowded and distinguished audience. Dr. Maudsley said it was certain that there were laws of mental breeding yet to be discovered, and it was no more unlawful to inquire scientifically into the nature of vice and sin than into the nature and actions of poisons. Hatred was as natural as hunger, and stood in no less need of scientific explanation. That moral qualities were not dependent upon physical constitution and have no physical connection whatever was an opinion which, although fostered in the supposed interests of morality, was really a hindrance to the growth of practical morality. DECAPITATED AGED SNAKE. New York State Woman Pins Reptile to Earth and Uses Pocket- Bath, N. Y.—A large rattlesnake is on exhibition in this village which was killed by the wife of Marcellus Rice, a farmer of this town, who resides on Mount Washington, in a region noted for rattlesnakes. Instead of killing the snake with a stick, she adopted the novel method of decapitating it with a pocketknife. Her son John was engaged in picking berries, when in the bushes near by he heard a strange noise and told his mother. She accompanied her son back to the place, where she recognized in the sound the rattle of the snake. She secured a forked stick with which she began prodding in the grass, and was rewarded by the snake striking at her. While the snake was yet uncoiled and before it could prepare for a second attack she jammed the forked stick over its head. The snake thus imprisoned made a violent commotion, coiling its body about the stick. However, she was clear nerve. She searched with her other hand in her apron pocket until she found a pocketknife, and this she handed to her son and told him to open its largest blade. He did so and returned the knife to his mother. She took the knife and deliberately cut off the snake's head. The snake measured 39 inches in length and had nine rattles. ROMANCE IN HUNGARY. Young Nobleman in Love with Poor Girl Finds Himself in Prison. Berlin.—A romantic story, with all the details of a medieval tale- imprisonment in a tower, opposition of obdurate parents, rescue and abduction, culminating in marriage, comes from Grosiewarthen, in Hungary. In olden days the mladen was imprisoned, but to-day it is the sweetheart, a young nobleman madly in love with a poor girl, who finds himself in prison. The parents of the nobleman did everything to break the engagement, but without avail. The preparations for the marriage were in progress when the young baron disappeared. Under the pretext of viewing some repairs on one of the family estates he was lured into the tower of the building and imprisoned. His rooms were luxuriously furnished, and an old retainer served him. The servant was induced to forward a letter to the girl, who, with her father, secured the release of the baron. They bribed the keeper of the tower, and before the noble's parents could interfere the marriage had taken place. WOMEN BANKRUPTS. STATISTICS OF BUSINESS FAILURES IN LONDON. More Widows and Spinsters and Fewer Wives Aided for Relief from Betts Last Year. London.—Of the 8,631 bankruptes and deeds of arrangement in 1804 487 were failures of women, compared with 465 out of a total of 7,588 in 1800. Six fewer married women failed, says the annual return of the board of trade, but widows and spinsters exceeded the numbers in 1903 by 12 and 16, respectively. About nine per cent. of the women had no occupation. The trades in which the greatest number of failures among women occurred were. Grocers, 65; milliners and dressmakers, 50; drapers and haberdashers, 33; hotelkeepers and publicans, 31; and lodging-house keepers, 24. Considerably more failures of women occur under deeds of arrangement than in bankruptcy, and this is partly accounted for by the fact that a married woman cannot be made bankrupt unless she is carrying on business apart from her husband. Another aspect of the relation of married women to bankruptcy is also noticed by the inspector general. "In numerous bankruptcles of married men," he says, "a considerable portion, sometimes the whole, of the furniture is claimed by the bankrupt's wife. Either she has purchased it out of money she has earned, or it has been given to her on marriage—and it is curious to observe how in such cases most of the wedding presents have been given to the wife—or it has been bequeathed to her, informally as a rule by deceased relatives. Occasionally such claims can be controverted, but it is generally difficult to disprove them, as the usual statutory declaration of ownership by the wife is nearly always fortncoming. "At a later period, when the Bankrupt, not having applied for or having failed to obtain his discharge wishes to make a fresh start in business, his wife is again of valuable assistance. He then—ostensibly, at any rate—assumes the position of manager in the business carried on in the name of his wife and thus avoids the disagreeable necessity of informing those from whom credit to the amount of $100 and upward is obtained that he is an undischarged bankrupt." Reference is also made to the steady decline in the desire of bankrupts to obtain their discharge. Since the bankruptcy act of 1883 came into operation there have been 89,583 adjudications and only 19,136 applications for discharge, and the evils caused by the growing population of undischarged bankrupts have been brought to the notice of the board of trade. The total liabilities in last year's failures amounted to $60,431,785, an increase of $12,055,375 over 1993; the estimated loss to creditors is $46,855,990, an increase of $10,225,205. In the cases where women failed, the total liabilities are returned at $1,575,150 and the assets at $617,675. OWNER OF TWO HEARTS. Singularly Afflicted Subject of King Alfonso Owned by Doctors. Madrid.—The rare case of a man possessed of two hearts or jumping the left and the other the right lung, was discovered here when a young man reported for military duty. King Alfonso offered to excuse him, but he insisted on placing his two hearts in the service of the Fatherland. He stood the fatigues of military life very well, and when discharged went upon a tour among the medical authorities of the world. "My two hearts do not bother me in the least," he said. "but I am afraid they may become a source of trouble to me. My wife is jealous of every woman I speak to. Her friends tell her I cannot possibly be true to her and her alone, since one of my hearts, not knowing what the other is doing, will be ever on the lookout for new fields to conquer." The hearts, when their owner dies, will go to an anatomical museum, which furnished the young man with 72,000 pesos to get married on and then established a watch to guard the living hearts to see that neither gets lost or stolen. COUNT'S UNWELCOME PET. Surprises and Bouts Reception Committee Awaiting Him in Carlsbad. Carlsbad.—A well-known count, who is a traveler and sportsman, ordered by wire the other day accommodation for himself and for his inseparable pet at one of the most popular hotels at this resort. What was the astonishment of the hotel keeper and his staff when their visitor arrived to find him accompanied by a bouncing and frisky young lion. The small reception committee in honor of the count scattered like dust. But they were very soon reassured, as the lion is extremely tame, so much so that it has now become one of the attractions of Carlsbad. One day, being missed, after a great search it was found at a neighboring farmyard in the piggy, lying down with the pig. Another day its surprised master discovered it in a field frolicking with a lamb. Mohammedan Missionaries The missionary spirit among the Mohammedans is said to be remarkable.

DIDN'T KNOW FORMER WIFE Man Marries Woman Whom He Falls to Recognize as His First Helena, Mont.—Remarried 20 years after they had been divorced, the man not knowing, when the marriage ceremony was performed, that the woman at his side was his former wife, was the matrimonial experience of a western couple now enjoying a second honeymoon in the east. The woman however, knew the secret, but found enjoyment in not revealing it to the man until after he was again her husband. James Hurlbutt and Ruth Emery were married when he did not arrived at man's estate. She was 19 less than a month before the marriage they had met for the first time at the home of a friend in Quebec. After a brief honeymoon he set out alone for the states to seek a fortune in the west. A misunderstanding arose not long after he left. Angry letters passed between them and soon she wrote him it was her wish that their correspondence should cease and he consented. He was in Chicago when her letter came, but at once left there and traveled farther west. Relenting, the wife hurried to Chicago, but found no trace of Hurlbutt. Some years later she secured a divorce on the grounds of desertion and married Rufus Beresford, a mine owner. He died in New Mexico, leaving several properties in Montana. The widow came to Helena and recognized her former husband at a hotel. She was a stranger to him. She engaged him to examine her properties. The friendship thus established led to love. After the ceremony she told him her secret and de declared he was doubly delighted THE MONEY ORDER HABIT. Chicago Postmaster Says People Prefer Government Checks to Bank Drafts. Chicago.—Chicagoans have acquired the post office money order habit, according to Postmaster Coyne, his recent monthly statement shows a remarkable increase in the money order business since he took charge of the office in 1901. Thereh as been an increase of nearly $23,000,000 a year in the money order business, both foreign and domestic, since 1901, and each month shows new gains in that branch of the business. The postmaster said he could explain the growth by the fact that the people of Chicago were using the post office money order system in preference to the banks. "The people of Chicago are now in a position to appreciate the large amount of business which is transacted by the Chicago post office" said Mr. Coyne. "They have acquired the money order habit and the wonderful growth in that branch shows it. "Within a short time I shall have compiled statistics showing the increase since I took my office in 1901. Every branch of the post office business has gained." The money order business for last month was $11,931,661, which is an increase of $2,730,303, or 21 per cent. over the business July last year. In 1904 there were 550,335 money order transactions in July, and in 1905 there were 622,010, an increase of 72,225, or 13 per cent. Julius Cohen.

Goats and horses are the principal sufferers in the dumb creation and from them the infection may be transmitted to man. In horses the disease is known as "hydrocephalus acutus." Of horses affected with the disease 78 per cent. die and the remainder have a chronic tendency to relapse.

COLT KILLED BY MOOSE. Wild Animal Creates Consternation in the Pastures of Maine Bangor, Me.—At Fort Fairfield one day lately a commotion was heard in a pasture where B. S. Smith had a young colt and its mother, and upon investigation it was found that a moose had visited the pasture and had killed the colt. The same animal created considerable consternation among some of the other farmers in the town. He put it an appearance in the field of Harry Kenny on the east side of the river. Frightened from there, he visited the field of Leonard Kenny. When driven from there he rushed to the Slipp farm and began racing through the field where men were cultivating potatoes. As the moose appeared from behind a large pile of rocks the horses attached to the cultivator became frightened and went on the run through the field tearing up potatoes. Leaving the Slipp farm, the moose made for the woods. Christian Xander's —HOME-MADE— Wine, 50c. q. Brandy, 60c. and 75c. qt. Cordial, 75c. qt.
