M. last Tuesday morning the committee of the local bar, Attorneys Thomas L. Jones, L. Melendez King, John E. Collins, Joseph H. Stewart and W. Calvin Chase, left the wharf of the Jane Moseley, with Mr. Lewis Jefferson, the manager, in charge, and arrived at Somerset Beach at 3:30 o'clock P. M. It was a most delightful trip down the Potomac. There were many distinguished persons on board, including many sweet ladies from every section of the city. The ladies with their escorts and many of them with children came well prepared to remain all day. The most lively guest of the occasion was Recorder J. C. Dancy, who was determined to get all out of the trip that a lemon squeezer can get juice out of a lemon. The recorder was not inclined to take a salt water bath. It was rather too "folly" after the Jane Moseley struck salt water. Mr. Lewis Jefferson deserves the commendation of the bar for the many courtesies he rendered, which cannot soon be forgotten. Secretary Jones and Treasurer King were among the happiest on board, while Committeeman Collins, who carried a Chesterfieldian air, never failed to keep the ladies engaged. Jack is a good good talker and fine entertainer. The committee made every effort to make the trip enjoyable to others who had embraced the opportunity of the trip. While the female members of the party were inclined to go in bathing, they did not venture. Two young ladies, however, took advantage of the surf. Misses Penn and Hughes. Anacostia was represented by Mesdames Hortense Jones, Eliza Lyons and Bessie Anderson. Attorney Joseph H. Stewart was accompanied by his most amiable and two children, Attorney T. L. Jones was closely guarded by his most pleasant madame. Miss Carrie Brooks was accompanied by her little girl. Mrs. Isbell came with a party, her daughter, her daughter, Mrs. Ethel Johnson, niece Miss Anna R. Isbell, and Mrs. Hattie Brown. This was a most enjoyable company. Ex-Congressman Geo. W. Murray of North Carolina was in evidence. He was one of the happies guests on board. Mr. Murray is in the city on a visit and he is always a well come visitor whenever he comes to town. Attorney A. E. Johnson of North Carolina was on board but business forced him to leave, as did Prot, N. E. Weatherner. Mrs. Carrie Brooks invited several of her friends to dinner and it was a most pleasant surprise. The general Geo. Hamilton was present George has great respect for the lawyers he purchased a watermelon weighing about 50 or 60 pounds. He came to the conclusion that it only required three to help him to eat. It was too much for the three. It was a trip that will long be remembered. It will not only be remembered for the heroic efforts of the committee but the luke-warmth of those who first suggested the excursion and their absence on this occasion. SOMERSET BEACH Is the finest resort on the Potomac for people. There is no other resort for the colored people where crabbing, fishing and other amusements are so convenient and plentiful. There is a high elevator of about one hundred and fifty feet. Among some of the summer boarders were noticed Dr. Cordozo of 12th and R streets, N. W. The doctor has been at Somerset Beach about a week or more or more. He is taking life easy. Mr. Hedge has a hotel and is doing well. Miss Nettie Smallwood and her sister and sister's husband returned with the excursionist. Those who patronized the excursionist will please accept the thanks of the committee. Miss Anna R. Isbell, of Norfolk, Va., niece of Mrs. Isbell and cousin of Mrs. Ethel Johnson of LeDroit Park, has been in the city for several days on visit. Miss Isbell is a teacher in the public schools of Norfolk and a very sweet and accomplished young lady. She has been given many social functions since her stay in the city and her many friends will regret when she leaves. 'She was one of the attractions on the lawyer's excursion Tuesday. She will leave for her home to-day. WITH THE LAWYERS. Many sweet young ladies went down with the lawyers. Miss Anna R Isbell was very much in evidence. Mr. L. H. Livingston and his lady escort were the quietest on the boat. Attorney Jones threw away all cares. Recorder J. C. Dancy was music enough. Attorney L. M. King retired before the boat left the wharf. Miss Penn is a diver. She doesn't fear cold water. Attorney John E. Collins is a thoroughbred Attorney Josey H. Stewart was taught by Recorder Dancy how to eat crabs. The cheapest articles purchased by Recorder Dancy were crabs at a penny apiece. He found live chickens too high. Among the young men who have come to the city from the South there is one young man who should be commended for his heroism, honesty, morality and business tact. Not because he is the son of a great man who deserves the plaudits of the people, but on account of what he has done and is doing to make one of the greatest negro organizations in the world a success. Much has been said of this young man by his enemies, but, in the minds of intelligent people he is without fault. THE BEE has constantly watched this young man ever since he has been in the city and it has found him to be a chap from the old block. Instead of condemning him he should be upheld, because if there ever was a man who has been outraged and persecuted by a prejudiced class of White Southerners, it has been Mr. Wm. L. Taylor, Jr., the son of Rev. W. L. Taylor, Sr., president of the Grand United Order of True Reformers. Wm. Taylor, Jr., has a host of friends among the people of this city who would like to see him elevated in the order of True Reformers. He is highly educated and a young man of fine business qualities. He was born February 1, 1878 in Caroline county, Va. He attended the public schools of Caroline and Hanover counties and the Normal Collegiate Institute of Petersburg, Va., from which institution he graduated in 1902, with high honors. After his graduation he was appointed clerk in the Richmond store of True Reformers, after which he was made bookkeeper and assistant manager of the General Manager and Purchasing Agent and Assistant Superintendent of all the stores under the supervision of the Grand United Order of True Reformers. It was while he was serving in this capacity that he was brutally assaulted in a train by a white brute without any cause or provocation. It was so shown at the trial by reputable witnesses that young Taylor was the victim of a most brutal outrage. Notwithstanding the meanness of the prosecution, Mr. Taylor was finally vindicated and to-day he has the respect and confidence of many thousands of people in MR. WM. L. TAYLOR, JR. this country He has a wife and child. His wife was a Miss Mary S. Ferrell who was also born in Hanover county Va., the birthplace of Mr. W. L. Taylor, Jr. She attended the public schools of that county and also the Normal Institute of Petersburg, Va. She taught school for six years, after which she A-1 was married to young Taylor. She is a young lady of refinement and a great help to her husband. A large number or, True Reformers in this city and friends of the order would be pleased to see Mr. Taylor returned to the city in an advanced capacity. He is strong and popular among the citizens who have a great respect for him and confidence in his executive ability. There is no young man more highly appreciated and esteemed and if he is returned to the city in an advanced capacity the Grand United Order of True Reformers will be increased to many thousands before the end of the year. DEATH OF MISS BALL Miss Bessie Ball, daughter of Mrs. Josie Ball, a graduate of the Normal School, having stood number 18 in her class, died at the residence of her mother and father at Johstown, Pa., Tuesday, September 6th. Miss Ball was a bright young miss who was liked for her Christian bearing and refinement. WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 9, 1905. J. MR. OSCAR J. RICKETTS.

The Simon Commandery, No. 1, Col- What I Saw And Heard When colored members of the bar cannot unite, it is not surprising when other people divide. Every effort has been made to unite this class of individuals. I understand that there are a dozen of the candidates for a position in the office of the United States Attorney, Mr. Barker is favorably disposed and will no doubt appoint a colored attorney if he can find one on whom all will unite. Can this be done? I was at the Franklin Building Wednesday night until ten o'clock and I heard a heated discussion over school matters. I was told by a representative of the Post that the Board of Education would likely remain in all right. It is amusing to see what influence the white members of the Board exert over the colored members. The white members of the Board always attempt to dictate the appointment of colored teachers. Dr. F. J. Shadd would make a good school officer. His record is one of which the people ar proud. I, shall be glad to see colored members of the Board have some backbone. I don't see why they don't speak out and give the MR. OSCAR J. RICKETTS. white members of the Board evidence that they are capable of conducting their own school. It is said that Judge Scott will not be able to return to the Police Court bench. I would like very much to see Judge O'Neal appointed. The petition that is in circulation protesting against the reappointment of Judge Terrell is being largely signed. It is also claimed that the President has decided to make the change. I think that Mr. B. T. Washington should attend to his own business and allow the people of this city to attend to their own affairs. Jantpr, Bailiff and laborer James Hughe is one of the hardest worked men in the Police Court. He is a faithful man. Judge O'Neal is the kind, of man the people want in the Police Court. Judge O'Neal is a reasonable man. My friend Mr. Massy generally looks out for white prisoners in the Police Court, but very seldom sees any meri in colored prisoners. The fight on Howard University will break out again soon. The colored people throughout the country have in circulation a monster petition which they will present to Congress. FAIRPLA*. LOW COSLEY. Mr. Low Cosley has been receiving the congratulations of the Elks throughout the country for the royal manner in which they were entertained while in the city. Mr. Cosley was the only man that extended the glad hand to this great organization and entertained them in royal style. Mr. Cosley's place of business is 1310 Pennsylvania avenue, N. W. He undoubtedly has the prettiest place in the city. He has every convenience and everything to please his customers. When you come to the city ask for him. Mr. George Johnson has returned to the city and can be found at Low Cosley's. Paragraphic News Many of our readers may not know that Dr. Chas. L. Purce, A.B., D.D., President of the Kentucky State University, located at Louisville, who died at noon, August 7, was ick only three days, during which time he never spoke. The Baptist denomination has lost a good worker. The fashions in McCall's September issue will most assuredly please all who are looking for something which is fascinating and becoming; the reading matter is interesting and of the highest order. Some of the veterans, who expect to attend the 24th annual encampment of the Sons of Veterans at Gettysburg, Pa., the 18th to 22nd of this month, fought in the battle of Gettysburg. Gen. Theodore J. Wint, in his annual report to the War Department, recommends that night schools be established for enlisted men, in order that they may be more proficient in reading, writing and speaking the English language.

He was a native of Arkansas, and served as first lieutenant in the first Arkansas Infntry during the Spanish war. It is expected that the celebration of the two hundredth anniversary of the birth of Benjamin Franklin is to be a reat affair.ffi President Roosevelt is expected to take part. The birthday anniversary will not take place until the next January 17th. Forty people were injured in a wreck at Boone, Col., last Sunday. They were a party of G. A. R. excursionists on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe passenger train No. 9, bound for Denver. The villages New Berlin and Edmeston in Utica, N. Y., were nearly destroyed by a cloudburst which happened last Sunday evening. The loss could not be determined then as all communications were cut off. E. J. Baldwin, a retired London stock broker, has donated $500,000 for charitable and educational purposes, and has trusted the distribution of the funds to Edgar Speyer, a member of Speyers' Company, who are bankers at New York. The peace treaty of Russia and Japan was signed last Tuesday, after which the paper went to the Emperor of Japan and the Czar of Russia for ratification. Joseph Buckland Bishop, of New York, has been appointed executive secretary of the Isthmian Canal Commission, with headquarters in this city. Over two thousand painters went on a strike last Tuesday at Philadelphi. They wanted more wages and shorter hours. Twenty-two people were drowned and several vessels destroyed on the rockbound shores of Lake Superior, the loss being $1,000,000. Major Richard Sylvester, superintendent of the metropolitan police and president of the International Police Chief's Association, will deliver the address to the New York State Police Chief's Association at their annual convention which is to convene in Albany N.

Lemly, formerly judge advocate general of the navy, accompanied by Mrs. Lemly, has arrived at Washington on a short visit: He has been on an extended European tour.' REV. WM. L. HOWARD. It is gratifying to see so many beneficial associations being organized in this city. It is also gratifying to know that the colored people are supporting these institutions. The recent Benefit Association, to be organized is the Columbia Benefit Association, by Rev. W. J. Howard and Mr. J. A. Lankford. Rev. Howard is well known in this city and has a large following among his REV. WM. J. HOWARD. people. No man is more active. Mr. Lankford is from the South and a man of energy and business tact. The colored man in business is fast climbing up the ladder. He is in every branch and there is no doubt but that he will succeed. Mr. Lankford, the treasurer of the company, is a man of broad business views and by his honesty and tact he is bound to succeed. THE BEE recommends the new association and suggests the importance of the people to support it. Ex-Senator John P. Green THANKS PROF. KELLY MILLER FOR THE RACE. Washington D. C., Sept. 5, 1905. To Prof. Kelly Miller, Howard University, Washington, D. C. My dear Sir:— Permit me as a colored American, to thank you for the learned, logical, convincing and very helpful contributions which you have recently made to the literature of the race, through the media of the Voice of the Negro and the Washington Post. The one in the Post of the 3rd instit. in my opinion, an argument of such great learning and irrefutable logic that it ought to be printed in pamphlet form and sent broadcast to the molders of public opinion, wherever the slanderous abuse of the American negro has been disseminated by a cruel propaganda, having its habitat in the heart of the solid, negro-hating South. We are told that comparisons are invidious, but I want to tell you, Professor Miller, that the production of those two valuable articles stamp you as being one of the foremost, if not the foremost of the colored defenders of our progressive, but still needy race. At the close of the great American conflict, the negro, having sustained the great Southern army in the field and protected with something akin to-filial care the weak ones at home—on the plantations and in the populous centers, and having both as a laborer in the trenches and a soldier in the ranks and on the high seas, covered himself with a mantle of glory, was the cynosure of all eyes,—he was lauded and acclaimed by the friends of the Union, North, and hated and feared by the enemies of the Union and human rights, in the South. For his elevation and protection, the Constitution was three times amended, observed of all observers," wherever and salutary laws spread on the statute books of the land. He was elected to the Senate, the House of Representatives, and many other subordinate places of honor and emolument within the gift of a grateful people. He stood on a pedestal of glory, "the respect for civil law and patriotic love of country existed. From the first, there were those who were determined to take from his elective franchise, to reduce him to the status of a slave, notwithstanding his legal environment, in every respect but in name. To do this, however, it was necessary to deprive him of his northern allies, to weaken his influence in the house of his friends; to pull him down from the high pedestal upon which he stood. A propaganda of unholy lies and villainous abuse was brought into existence to cause it to be believed that the negro is in truth and in fact, a beast, in whose keeping the weaker sex is not safe; notwithstanding all the teaching of the past had been to the contrary; and the United States, of all the places on the face of the earth, is the only one inhabited by negroes in whole, or in part, where such a charge is preferred against them, and the further fact that, of the many thousands of talented white ladies of the North, who went to the South and for a quarter of a century lived amongst and taught them, not one complaint of brutal treatments ever reached the public ear. So, without judge or jury, with all the ordinary and usual incidents of a fair and impartial trial, without, in most cases, adequate identification, he is held up to public opprobrium, scorn and infamy, he is stamped as a beast, a brute and, presto, he is ignominiously pulled, tumbled down from his high place, in the estimation of the superficial, the thoughtless and the prejudiced. The supporters of this vile, wicked and accursed propaganda, are to be found in the "four corners of the earth," seated in editorial chairs, compiling magazines, speaking from lecture platforms and preaching from pulpits. Of the latter is the Rev. Thomas Dixon, Jr., and of the former is the Hon. Thomas Watson, both of whom you have so scientifically, mercilessly and effectually excoriated. I trust they know better now. Again thanking you for your conspicuous and very valuable service to our race, I am, my dear sir, Your obedient servant, JOHN P. GREEN. E To some, a hint will do; To others, a word or two; To some, a little talk's enough— To others just speak a little gruff; ; But they'll not heed a thing you say, 'Cause they haven't got sense enough. —CVlarence Emery Allen. FAMILY IN BOX CAR. TEAVEL AS “HOBOS” BACK TO | INDIANA HOME, Butire Outht Makes Successtol Trip from Kansas to Hoosier State— Journey Accomplished at t ‘a Ball Coat. Muncle, Ind.—It was a rough Journey, | Dut John H. Clarke, his wife and three children, the ledest aged 16, had not money cnough to travel in any other way. ‘A month ago Clarke and bis family were in Kansas, near the Colorado line. Now they are back in uncle among thelr friends, and the trip of more than 1,000 miles from Holly, Kan, to In- dianapolis cost him just $5.50, or $1.10 for each individual of the party. For 15 years Clarke worked In the freight house of one of the rallroads en- tering Muncie. He tired of “trucking freight” and determined to try farming. He invested all bis savings {n a farm {a the Sunflower state, went broke, or near- ly 20, and with just $40 in his pocket de- termined to come back to Indiana, He has arrived and has still with him mbst of the $40. It was In a car of grain that Clarke ‘was determined to make his eastern trip. Into it he ‘moved his family, their few possessions, a big jug of fresh wa- ter and a quantity of cooked food, After instructing his wife how ta work the bolt, he went back to the elevator to walt untll the agent should make his rounds, ‘When that official came out to close -and seal the car, Clarke and a friend went with him to assist in the work. ‘The agent, glad of the help, contented imself with the elevator man's state- ment that the car was all right. Then the agent sealed it, and went back to bis office. When all was quiet Clarke Joined his family through the end door. Early in the night an eastbound train picked up the car, and while the big engine put the long Kansas miles be- hind the Clarkes sproad their blankets on the corn and slept In peace and se- curity. ‘Several times en route Clarke emerged from the car and laid in a fresh supply of provisions and water. This he man- aged well, and not until the car was nearing Indianapolis did anyone sus- pect he and family occupied it. The last day of the trip was a hot one, aud to let in 2 little fresh air, Clarke opened the end door, As he did so he looked up, and there, sitting on a brake wheel, was a brakeman looking down at him. It would do no good to close the door, for he had been seen. The best way was to trust to luck—and the brakeman, ‘The latter came down and looked over the passengers, He saw a comely middle-aged woman, two pretty. bright- eyed girls and a boy in knickerbockers, It almost took his breath away. He had often found tramps, but never be- fore a whole family. He saw the big basket that had held the provisions. Dow nearly empty, and a huge jug of water partly buried in thecorn, ‘While the trainman looked about Clarke told bis story. The brakeman deing a good fellow, not only condoned ‘the offense, but volunteered help. He found the car was routed on east by way of Cincinnati, and as that would take them still further from their desti- mation, the Clarkes decided to unload at Indianapolis, where they bought tickets to Muncie. and traveled in a regular passenger coach. ACELAND HAS A WIRELESS, ‘She Northern Island in Communica- tion with the World at Last Through Marconi System, | Copenhagen.—The people of Iceland are more than delighted with the new wireless telegraph service which has Just been opened between this city and Reykjavik, though they are still un- able to understand how it is possible that mews of what is happening in the mother country hundreds of miles away can reach them through the afr. Before this service was opened the fmhabitants of this island recelved ‘kews from the outside world atout ence @ month, and many sensational news stories reached them long after they bad been forgotten in the other countries, which has occasionally caused amusing things to happen, ‘Thus at the time of. the coronation of King Edward several British and one Danish meu-of-war celebrated the event with much champagne and fir- ang -of guns, not knowing that the ceremontes had been postponed be. cause of the king’s Mllness, The government 1s now heeping the Icelanders pretty well supplied with mews, and among the things which taney have been told of which they would otherwise be in Ignorance at tte present time, was the déath of Jobn Hay, the mutiny of the Kniaz Potemkine and the Norwegian revo- Tution. ‘Would Skin Wife-Beaters. * Magistrate O'Reilly. in the Brook- lyn (N.

STARS SAVE SULTAN’S LIFE Firm in Faith He Will Not Die Vio- lent Death, Monarch Fears Neither “Assassins, Knives Nor Bullets. London.—“The sultan’s escape from the recent attempted assassination will confirm the belief unlversal in Turkey, which I happen to know his majesty rhares, that he Is not destined to dle a violent death.” So sald Quilliam Bey Effendl, the re- Ugious head of British Mobammedans, at'Liverpool, recently. “Some tme ago,” continued Quil- Mam Bey, “when the sultan proposed attending the ceremony at Harkal Sheri, or exhtbitfon of Mahomet’s holy mantle—the national flag of Tur- key—he recelved an anonymous warn- ing that if he went he would be as- sassinated. eo “Abdul Quadir, the learned astrolo- ger, hearing the rumor, sald to the sultan: ‘Do not belleve It, O Kbalif. Go in peace, for the stars tell fhe you shall not die a violent death, but that ‘you will live ull 75, and then dle from some contagious disease.’ “That prophecy bas stayed many at- tempts to assassinate the sultan, for It Is ‘respected by Armenlans as well as Turks. “This 1 the first time Abdul Hat- ‘id's Ife has been attempted during a relgn of 27 years, an immunity which scarcely any soveretgn can boast, and ‘Iam satisfied that {t will be the last attempt, rethe sultan fears nelther Knife, bul- ‘Ist nor bomb, but he takes extra pre- caution agalast contagious diseases. Slnce the prophecy was uttered vac- cination and revacelnation have be- come compulsory in Turkey In order to guard bis majesty against small- pox. All Turks are boiind to undergo Tevaccination every five years. Quar- antine {s strictly enforced at all Turk- ish ports for a similar reason, and the sultan, at his own expense, has pro- vided Constantinople with an abun- dant supply of pure water.” BEAR STEALS A LONG FUSE Idaho Bruin of Enormous Size Per- forms Queer Antics at the Laclede Mine, Wallace, Idaho.—A big black bear, fat a8 a hog from several weeks’ feast upon the luscious crop of huckleberries {n the mountains, shuffled into the powder honse at the Laclede inine and walked away with 600 feet of fuse. The bear unconcernedly ambled away from the ‘buildings and disappeared Into the brush with his booty. He fs sald to be of enormous size, belng nearly as large asa grizzly. £ In the morning he made his first ap- pearance at the mine. The woman cook was completing her morning's work, and was tripping along for the cook- house bearing some scraps to throw upon the refuse pile, when she heard a snort of surprise, and, glancing ahead, whs nearly overcome to see a large bear contentedly feeding himself upon the refuse. The cook sprinted for the cabin and barricaded the door. ‘When the men came out of the mine they were told of the béar’s presence, but by that time ft had disappeared. It was then noticed that the water piped to the cabin from a spring was muddled. This fact was associated with the bear's visit. One of the miners then went up to the spring to ascertain the cause of the muddy water. When he reached it he observed a great black creature wai- lowing In the cool water. He com- menced throwing stones at the animal, which emerged leisurely from its bath, walked a few paces, rose to Its haunches untll It appeared to the miner to de near- ly as tall as the surrounding pine trees, and then snarled in a viclous manner, exhibiting a fierce row of teeth, As he was unarmed the man considered a well conducted retzeat the best move, and withdrew, not without confusion, The unwelcome visitor disappeared _ until later In the day. when he was seen com- ing from the powder house with the roll of fuse, DOG FOILS .BRIGAND BAND.

Four brigands terrorized the district of Casteltermint and entered the villa of a wealthy land owner at Liberto, In the absence of the owner, the band- its seized his two children, ‘They Sagged and bound the eldest, and im- prisoned him fn the cellar of the house. A letter was left bebind demanding a ransom of $1,000 from the father for the younger son. whom they removed to a grotto at San Glovannl, where the brigands had their lair. A Mttlé dog fol- lowed the bandits and his young master. The animal entered the Brotto. with them, and a few minutes afterwards, when the.rufflans were asleep at the en- trance of the cave, discovered a small aperture. ‘The dog increased the open- ing by using his paws, Eventually the hole was large enough to enable tho boy to emerge from his place of confine. ment. Followed by his dog he was able toreach his home during the night. ‘r ‘he police discovered the grotto. and the four brigands were captured. . , Train Saved by Rov Camrer ‘William Bates, a boy camper, saveJ a train from being wrecked on the Dubuque division of the!Chicago, Mil- waukee & St. Paul railroad near La Crosse.

AUTHOR WANTS GREAT OUT- ING PLACE IN COLORADO. Yellowstone Will Take a Hear Seat If Plans of Hamlin Garland Prove Buccessful—Calls It “Na- ‘tional Plaveronna:” Denver, Col.—If Hamlin Garland, the well-known author, has his way, Colo~ rado will be the site of a national park rivaling the Yellowstone, Mr: Gar- and is in Colorado for a few weeks in tae summer for the double purpose of securing local color for a new story and of working up the scheme for a great park which shall contain 1,000,000 or more acres, and whlch shall be under the direct protection of the government. * | “Of, all the states in the unfon,” sald Bir. Garland, “Colorado 1s the most wonderful—aod that, by the way, fe a great concession for a Wisconsin ‘man to make. It 1s a ‘state too fine to be given over to vandalism, greed, ‘or anything else of the kind. After a visit to the state several years ago I took up with G¥ord Pinchot and others of the national bureau of for- estry, the plan of setting apart.a large tract of mountalnous country In the White River region for a national playground. The scheme'met with decided favor among the authorities at Washington, but they were afraid that Mt would not be approved by the people of Colorado. Now I find that there ig consid-rable .e tment here also for a moverent of that kind, and when I re.urn east I shall again begin agl- tatmd the subject, “Of course the White river plateau does not possess geysers and the varl- ous other freaks which make the Yel- lowstone notable. it Is, nevertheless, possessed of scenery which in many cases le far ahead of anything to be found in the Wyoming basin. I am sure that all the people of Colorado have to do s to consent to the use of a part of their domain for this purpose, and the government will take up the matter at once.” The White river plateau {s one of the finest natural bits of country in the whole of Colorato. On the west ernslopeof the divide, and as yet un- settled, It covers more than 3,000 square miles of snow-capped peaks and mountain valleys whose scencry is unequaled in the entire west.

Paris.—There is every indication fhat the notoriety loving patriot Deroulede will return from exile In the position of picturesque eminence which has several times gained for ‘tim the attention of his countrymen. He annoances his position on the great question of the hour, and as he may easily become in a week the most prominent Frenchman in the cauntry his views are worth noting. He says: “A German recently had a strange idea to come and ask me this ques- tlon: "What would you think of a Franco-German rapprocheme:t?” I replied: ‘I think such an eveatuallty would be eminently desired by you. Germany possesses continental mill- tary supremacy; Great Britain pos- sesses maritime supremacy. When- ever on leaving Great Britain, we, go over to you we should be giving you, together with the support of our fleet, the markets of our colonies, the ald of our money and the help of our trade; that {s to say, the maritime su- premacy you covet so much.

BRITAIN GAINS IN FINANCE. Expenditures Increase from $515,: 000,000 to $750,000.000—Taxes $155,000,000 in 1904-’05. London.—Many striking facts In re- lation to the conditions of life and progress of the United Kingdom during the last 13 years are contained In thean- nual statistical abstract just Issued, It covers the perlod from 1899-'1 to 1991-5. The imperial expenditure has risen In that period from $515 000,000 to $750,- 000,000. The property and income tax which In 1890-91 ylelded $65.250,000 had to furnish last year $155 259 000. The total of Incomes on which this tax {5 pald has risen tn 1% years from $2,685,151.000 to $3.075.090,000, and even that enormous sum {s not tne full extent of the Incofe which the inhabitants of the United Kingdom re- celved In 1904-'05 as one year’s pro- ceeds from their propérty and work. The total gross income for that year was estimated by the inland revenue department at $'79.290.09), ‘The Rrit- ish exports hive risen In valve from $1,315.500.000 In 1829 to $1.59 700.0", Apportioned by p> lat‘on, however this ‘apparent Increase works out really .a ‘reduction of a penny per capita. It {s also pointed out that while 15 years ‘ago British shinping had a gross ton- nage of 11,159990 tens, now it has risen to 16295,9C0 tons. PLUMBER. STRIKES IT RICH.

It Is a statistical fact that with the Tresent ratlo of Incoming forelgners continuing for five years, with the Dirth rate of American citizens added, the population of the United States at the next census, 1910, will be moro than 20,000,00, Elils Island alone received 821,169 men, women and children, Southern Europe contributed nearly 75 per cent, or what would equal the population of the cities of Cleveland and Cincinnat! combined. “Agents of the ocean steamship lines, despite tho revelations following off clal investigations, are still sowing the seeds of deception throughout Eu- rope and luring the ignorant peasant to thelr ticket offices with thelr glow- ing storfes of streets flowing with milk and honey. ‘The steamships brought to the port of New York during the year just end- ed 7,204 poor unfortunates, victims of corporate avarice and unscrupulous In- dividual greed, who were returned {nto the musty holds of the great linery.

FIND A RED MARBLE MINE. ‘Through Direction of Princess, Source of Wealth Is Unearthed in Canada. London—Owing to her notable commercial Instinct, the princess of Wales has caused mining discovery to be made in Canada which appears Ukely to prove of world-wide impor- tance. ‘While on her tour in Canada with the prince of Wales, then duke of Cornwall, four years ago, hér royal highness was presented with a collec. tion of precious stones, etc, from all parts of the dominion. The princess specially admired cer- tain specimens of colored marble, including a very rare varlety known ag sodonite, which Is of a very rich blue color. On her return to England she Intrusted the collection to Charles ©. Allom, who was engaged upon the derigns for the decoration of Mari- borough house. . “Why cannot more be found?” asket the princess, who went on to say that she felt that the stones, if existing 4u sufficient quantities, would be of immense value for decorative pur. pores. Mr. Allom made Inquiries as to the Ukelibood of the marble existing in workable quantities in Canada, and with success such that he has just re. turned from Canada and brought with him a collection of specimens of thy rough marble, which range {n hus from delicate mouse-gray to blood-red, with all possible shades of green and blue. There has also been discovered a quarry of statuary marble which is of the greatest Importance, as the world’s supply is at present limited to the quarries of Carrara in Italy and Vermont in the United States, which both belong to the same owner. For the frieze of Pierpont Morgan's palatial new lbrary at New York, it is sald, Stanford White. the architect has ordered = supply of the finest bluz marble from Canada, which will prob- ably cost $15 a foot. MOON AS HOME OF MOSES Theory of Creation Has Doughaut Basis—Declares Earth- Spurted Through Hole in Comet.

Famous Guerrilla Leader, Although Advanced in Years, as Spry as Man of 30—Consul at Hong-Kong Under Hayes. Kansas City.—Carrying an old fashioned hickory cane, with a curved handle, such a cane as could be purchased for 25 cents in any flint hill Missouri town, and walking as briskly and easily as if he were a man of 30, Col. John S. Mosby, whose renown as a commander of guerrillas in the confederate army is known to every schoolboy, has gone to Oklahoma to unearth graft in the Indian service. His particular mission as an assistant attorney in the department of justice is to investigate alleged frauds by guardians in the management of estates of Indian minors. Col. Mosby, from an ancestral standpoint, is a genuine Virginian. True to his Virginia instincts, he tells of Virginia and things Virginian. He recalls vividly the stirring events which he helped mold into the permanent history of his land. He has strongly cut features, the jaw and nose of a fighter, and small, dark eyes, deeply set, that peer quizzingly and ask questions without the use of words. Col. Mosby may have been a dandy in his younger days, but he is no longer fastidious in his dress. He does not use tobacco in any form. Probably the most remarkable act in Col. Mosby's life was when he left the confederacy and joined the republican party. The scorn and contempt shown by his fellow Virginians when he broke southern traditions became practically a social and political tragedy for Col. Mosby. He was a flourishing lawyer in Warrenton, Va. when he changed. Lifelong friends 1 COL JOHN S. MOSBY (Old Guerrilla Leader Now Probing Indian Land Frauds.) turned their backs upon him and denounced him as a traitor to his people and his family. To speak of Mosby in Virginia was to execute him. Col. Mosby talked about this unhappy experience several days ago. Tapping his cane on the floor, he salu: "My old friends now are ashamed of what they did and said. They agree with me that it would have been better had all of us in the south begun early to heal the scars left by the strife that devastated our land." President Rayes appointed Col. Mosby American consul in Hongkong where he remained seven years. He was offered a place by President Grant who declared that he owed the electoral vote of Virginia to Mosby. Mosby, however, did not accept. Mosby afterwards was for 16 years an assistant attorney of the Southern Pacific Railroad company in San Francisco. President McKinley remembered Mosby and gave him a place as special agent in the general land office. President Roosevelt transferred him to the department of justice. When Col. Mosby reached Hong kong he found Dr. John Lochwood of Virginia. Lochwood had left the United States in ISGI. He was intently bitter against the federal government. Mosby was the first confederate that Lochwood had seen. Lochwood did not know that the war actually was at an end until he saw Mosby and learned that he had come as an official of the federal government. Gen. Grant was then on his trip around the world and when he reached Hongkong, Col. Mosby, as the official representative of the United States, boarded the steamer to welcome President Grant and his party. He was accompanied by Lochwood. Mosby was a close friend of the Grants and after exchanging formal courtesies he introduced Dr. Lochwood, with the remark: "General Grant, I present to you the last fugitive confederate, and ask that you give him his parole." Mrs. Grant interceded smilingly and said: "Gen. Grant, I bespeak the most liberal terms for Dr. Lochwood." Lochwood was somewhat abashed, but recovered his composure and said: "I would surrender to no other man in the world, but I am willing to surrender to the man to whom Gen. Lee surrendered." President Grant told Lochwood that he freely gave him his parole and hoped that he would return soon to his native land and help restore it to prosperity and happiness. Dr. Lochwood grew to be an ardent admirer of President Grant. NEW VICEROY IS POPULAR. Earl of Minto, Lord Curzon's Successor in India, Expected to Keep Peace with Kitchener. London.—The earl of Minto, who has been appointed to succeed Lord Curzon as viceroy of India, is one of the most popular men of England who is always holding down a big job, mostly because he is a good fellow. His term as governor general of Canada expired late in 1904, after several extensions. The Canadians made vigorous efforts to keep him but it was against the policy of the British government to keep him there longer. The earl is a generous spender, democratic, tactful and diplomatic. The gen- M. EARL OF MINTO. (Successor to Lord Curzon as Viceroy of India ) eral opinion is that he will manage his conduct so that there will be no chance of a quarrel between himself and the stern and silent Kitchencer. Lady Minto has superintended the social side of their lives with the same skill that her husband has displayed in politics. The earl of Minto's full title is Sir Gilbert John Elliot Murray Kynymund, P. C., G. C. M. G., Roxborough; Viscount Melgund of Melgund, county of Forfar; Baron Minto of Minto, Roxburgh, and a baron of Nova Scotland. He is a B. A. of Cambridge university; was formerly attached to the Scots guards, attached to the Turkish army in the Russo-Turkish war, 1877, when he won a medal; served in Afghanistan, 1879, winning a medal; in Egypt, 1852, winning another medal; in the Canadian rebellion, 1885, when he won still another medal. He was secretary of Lord Lansdowne, governor general of Canada, 1898; captain reserve of officers and colobel and brigadier general commanding Scottish borderers volunteer infantry brigade. The earl was born July 9, 1745, succeeded his father as fourth earl of Minto in 1891; was married July 28, 1883, to Mary Caroline, daughter of Gen. Hon. Charles Grey, and has two sons and three daughters. He was educated at Ston and Cambridge and entered the Scots Guards as an ensign. He was with the Turkish army in 1877, was in the Afghan war of 1879, saw service in the Egyptian campaign of 1882, and was chief of staff during the northwest Canadian rebellion in 1833. Six years later Lord Minto succeeded his father to the title and estates. He is a member of the privy council. CAPITOL OF ALABAMA. Building. Erected in 1850, Where Confederate States of America Were Organized. Montgomery. Ala.-The room of the senate of Alabama, or, more properly speaking, the senate chamber, now used by the state department of archives and history as a place of exhibition of paintings and historic Alabama men, was the place from which emanated the initiatory affairs of the Confederate States of America. From the dome above its CAPIT LOF ALABAMA. (In a Room In This Building be Confederacy Was Formed.) roof floated proudly the first flag of the young nation, born to a heritage of blood and which lived only in the sacrifices of the noble men who died for its maintenance and the suffering women who gave up their all that it might be preserved. In this room the Confederate States of America were organized, the provisional and permanent constitutions adopted, president and vice president were elected and the vice president was sworn in, the first message was received from the president, the cabinet was confirmed, the first laws of the confederacy were adopted, and the stars and bars accepted and authorized. Out from its walls was carried the first flag of the confederacy, which was swung to the breeze from the dome of the building of which it was a part. Grows New Kind of Weeds.

Once Over 5,000 Feet Above Level of the Sea, But Now Exists Only in Memory and on Photographic Plates. New York.—Nearly 1,000 feet high, half that size across one side of its base and 350 feet on the other side, a mass of solid rock larger than the great pyramid of Egypt. the tower at Mount Pelee, in Martinique, was the wonder of the world for a little more than a year. It was the core of an old volcano mouth, a mass of molten rock left to harden where it rose to fill the huge gap in some old and forgotten eruption. Tapering to a point at the top, it broadened down to the base, where it was pushed upward by the mighty forces of nature beeath, rising at the rate of 40 feet a day until it attained its full height, more than 5,000 feet above sea level. As it rose, the point crumbled. Huge pieces fell from its top and sides. It is estimated that its height would have been more than doubled had it not been tor ritts running through it, whereby steam in explosive quantities was conveyed to its very summit, there to waft off in the trade winds a banner of white trailing along the sky. Think of the forces, unseen and seemingly undirected, that could push this mammoth obelisk from its firm place in the mountain upward into the heavens! As it rose it pushed the living rock aside, as a child might push his finger through a mass of putty. On each side great mounds arose as it trended upward, pilling about its base, which covered 175,000 square feet as its period of greatest development. It was first seen soon after the eruption which brought for the second time ```markdown ``` TOWER OF PELEE. (Mass of Molten Rock as Seen from Ruin of Crater) such death and desolation to the pretty island of Martinique and its thousands of gay and doubly doomed inhabitants. The titanic activities of the eruption at the time caused it also to disappear. On October 15, 1902. It stood out, a sharp spine or thorn against the sky at the very summit of the mountain, and was noted by the members of the French scientific commission. At the end of November it had reached a height of 800 feet. In spite of the constant crumbling and falling off of the rock at its top. On November 18 nearly 300 feet of it fell from the main structure. The loss was soon made good. With the rising of the tower the mountain about it increased in height, billowing up into a great irregular cone. Tower and cone together attained an absolute height of 1,800 feet above the old summit of Peele in August, 1904, all forced up from the bowels of the earth since April, 1902. This tower, resembling a chur steeple when at its utmost high stood out against the troop firmament, when the ash clouds of the eruption permitted it to be seen, as a landmark visible for leagues about. But in the early days of July, 1903, the same forces that pushed it outward and upward began to tear it to pieces. Before the middle of the month half of it had been blown to bits, lying about its foot. During the second week in August another 160 feet o. its altitude disappeared. As the tower itself dwindled the mass below it began to rise in a vast somnellike mound. From August 10 to August 17 it gained 18 feet in height. From August 29 to August 28 it rose 164 feet, and on the two days to lowing 88 feet more. On September 9 it lost 50 feet, just as it had gained 45 feet in a single day—August 30-31. Power like this leaves the mind bewildered. To realize it, note the picture from a photograph taken by Angelo Heliplin, of the Snaffield scientific school, of Yale university, on June 13, 1903, and published in his new book, "The Tower of Pelee." Note the manner in which the rock at the base of the tower, here showing 800 feet of its height, has been raised and pushed aside. And remember that within three months not a vestige of it remained to tell the story. The tower of Pelee exists 10-day only in the memory of a few men and on the photographic plates they were able to make of it. Bible Read by Many. Tongues. Last year the English Bible society has the Bible translated into 12 more languages, making the total number of languages in which it may now be read 350. WILL SPAN RIVER. Handsome Bridge to Be Erected Soon by City of Washington Over Piney Branch. Washington.-Directly in line with the great series of municipal improvements rapidly extending throughout the extreme northwestern part of this city is the proposed new bridge across the Piney branch on the line of Sixteenth street extended. Designs have already been prepared, and only the approval of Engineer Commissioner Biddle is needed to start active operations. Soon after that bids for constructing the bridge will be invited, and it is thought the contract will be awarded not later than September 15. Only the foundations will be laid before winter this year. This new bridge, which marks the far northward advance of the proposed PINEY BRANCH BRIDGE, (New Structure to Be Built in Washington Soon.) Sixteenth street boulevard, will, when completed, be one of the handsomest in the outlying sections of the city. It will be 272 feet long over all and at its highest point more than 60 feet above Piney branch. At the present time $20,000 is available for preliminary work on the structure, but congress has authorized the commissioners to enter into a contract not to exceed $50,000. With this sum it is thought a bridge 25 feet wide can be built, though it is planned to increase the width of the bridge to 70 feet as soon as traffic on Sixteenth street extended warrants the additional expense. For the present the bridge will be completed at the width of 25 feet, to appear as nearly as possible like a finished structure. The span of the bridge will be 125 feet long. The Piney branch bridge will be entirely of concrete, with all spandrils hollow. The flooring, also of concrete, will be 10 to 12 inches thick and will be supported by the outside spandril walls and by inside steel columns. The columns and abutments are planned of the cellular type, the earth fill of the approaches being entirely on the outside of the abutments. TO WED AN HEIRESS. Grand-Nephew of James G.

Both she and her flare are deyoted to animals, enjoy swimming, rowing, riding and golfing. Since the announcement of the bétrothal there has been continuous speculation as to whether the fortunate young man will continue his routine work, helping to manage the elevated and subway news stands operated by the Hotel and Railroad News company, of Boston, or go into some business of his own, backed by Mr. Lawson. The wedding will take place very early in October. Preparations for the ceremony and attendant functions, are well under way, and Boston friends especially are much interested in their progress. The girl members of the fashionable Vincent club of girl bachelors, of which Miss Gladys is one, are meanwhile more interested in the details of the bride-to-be's trousseau. It is to be most elaborate, as the wedding is to be made a splendid affair. Emulating Carnegie. Morris K. Jessup, the New York millionaire, is emulating the example of Andrew Carnegie by giving $20,000 to the town of Westport, Conn., to erect a public library. Westport was once Mr. Jessup's home, and the building is intended as a memorial for the Jessup family. The town agreed to appropriate $1,000 annually for the library's maintenance. ALEXIS A YEAR OLD. RUSSIA CLEBRATES BIRTHDAY OF HEIR TO THRON. Entire Royal Family, Including Nicholas, Fashion Toys for Infant Czarevitch—Baby Has Outgrown Early Delicacy. St. Petersburg.—The first anniversary of the birth of Grand Duke Alexis, heir to the Russian throne, was celebrated in a festive manner throughout Russia the other day. In St. Petersburg the troops paraded to the music of a triumphal march written in honor of the birth of the czarevitch. Banners were flying in the streets and the capital was brilliantly illuminated at night. All the government offices, with the exception of the foreign office, were closed, and the ministers of state. the heads of departments, and all persons whose rank entitles them to admission to court, went to Peterhof to offer their felicitations to the emperor and empress and to participate in a special natal mass. Great preparations were made at Peterhof in anticipation of the joyous event. Hundreds of presents were bought, and almost every member of the imperial family fashioned some sort of toy with his or her own hands for the czar of Russia's baby boy. Alexis Nicholalevitch's sister, Grand Duchess Olga, made a wonderful clay model of Peterhof palace, and Grand Duchess Tatiana gave her baby brother a little clay nest in which a hen sits on four eggs, all daintily colored by herself. Grand Duke Michael, the czar's younger brother, supervised the construction of a wonderful railway train for the czarevitch, which runs ALICE ALEXIS NICHOLA1EVITCH (Infant: Russian Czarevitch from a Picture Taken Recently) by clockwork on a sort of switchback line. Following the example set by all his family the czar himself spent several evenings in making a dreadful looking wooden serpent. Nicholas's snake was painted black, picked out with red and white spots, its body being joined so as to enable it to wriggle in any direction. With characteristic thoughtfulness the czar had the paint required for the toy specially prepared, so that his little son might suck the wooden serpent with impunity. The czarina, although much worked by the events of the last few months, still finds time to spend mar hours in daily worship at the shrine of her little prince. The czarvite from a delicate infant, has grown int a fat and chubby boy, much taller, and weighing considerably more, than the average child of his age. Much to his mother's delight he is daily becoming more and more like the czar, but his hair is fairer and his eyes much darker than those of Nicholas II. In a little sachet of pale blue silk Alexandra Feodrovna keeps the first curl cut from the head of her baby boy, and it is gossiped in the palace at Peterhof that early last month the czarina dispatched by one of her own messengers to the queen of Italy, the kaiserin and Queen Alexandra of England daltyn envelopes containing her baby's photograph and a lock of hair cut from his head. According to Dr. Hirsch, the czar-vitch can already lisp several proper "grown up" Russian words. By the czar's special instructions all attempts at "baby language" have been immediately stifled, for Nicholas believes in the Soloviyf system for logically teaching babies systematically from the beginning simple and useful words. "I wish my child to become a clever man and to waste no time on useless 'baby language,'" is one of the many extraordinary utterances reputed to the czar since his mental breakdown, after hearing of the fall of Port Arthur. Lightning Art Work On the breast of one of the two brothers killed in New York by lightning while bathing recently was imprinted a likeness of a tree. It was about 18 inches long and was perfect even to the smallest details, including the coloring of the leaves. The likeness was burned deep in the flesh. Physicians are unable to explain this phenomenon, as there was no tree within several hundred feet of the spot where the lightning bolt struck. The ways of lightning have long been past finding out. TO HONOR GEN. SIGEL St. Louis—Germans from all over the United States will meet in this city next spring to honor the memory of Gen. Franz Sigel, the cavalry leader who organized four regiments of young Germans for the federal army in 1861 and "saved" Missouri for the union. The statue, for which $10,000 was subscribed by patriotic residents of the world's fair city, will probably stand in Forest park. It is the work of Robert Cauer, a German-American sculptor who now has his studio in Berlin. Cauer went to St. STATUE OF GEN SIGEL (Will Be Erected at St. Louis Next Spring) Louls last year and modeled the facial likeness from original photographs of Gen. Sigel at the time of the war, which accounts for the remarkably life-like resemblance which all who knew him will find in this magnificent equestrian statue. Sigel is shown at the battle of Pas Ridge, scanning the approaching enemy just before he made the famous rally of his German "boys" and turned seeming rout into a glorious victory for the boys in blue. It was around this engagement that the famous humorous ditty, "We Fought Mit Sigel," was written—an unfailing source of patriotic mirth at every gathering of Kriegerserels in America. Gen. SIGEL was a military man of experience before he emigrated to the United States as a "forty-eleighter." He took a prominent part in the Baden revolution of that year and was compelled to flee the country on account of it. He was a schoolmaster in the western states when the war broke out, but his old-time military spirit asserted itself and he went to St. Louis to organize into four regiments the young German-American patriots resident there. History commonly ascribes the failure of Missouri to sided with the confederacy to this German support of the northern cause. Besides being the first equestrian statue in St. Louis, the SIGEL monument will be the first raised to the memory of the services of German-Americans in the civil war. The statue will be of bronze and will rest on a pedestal of American granite. NEW SWEDISH PREMIER- Christian Lundberg Has Reputation of Being a Shrewd and Cautious Statesman. Stockholm—Christian Lundberg, the new Swedish premier, whose official title is minister of state, and who will direct Sweden's course with regard to the secession of Norway, is the conservative leader, but recently, has fa- CHRISTIAN LUNDBERG.

France's Strong Man. Since M. Delcasse's retirement M. Maurice Roulet is looked upon as the strong man of France. Personally, he is a delightful companion of encyclopedic knowledge, as much at home in art as in questions of state. Unlike most of his countrymen, he speaks with calm and restrained dignity, eloquent and oratorical.

Funeral services over the remains of Percival D. Brooks, who died last Tuesday at his summer home, Vienna, Va., Thursday at 3 o'clock at St. Mary's Chapel, 23d street between G and H streets, N. W. Mr. Brooks, who was at the head of the physics department in the Armstrong Manual Training School, was born February 12, 1873, in Washington. His parents were the late John H. Brooks, who was for many years an active member of the board of school trustees and a clerk in the Navy Department, and his wife, Fannie Skinner. Educated in the Washington schools and the Bliss Electrical School, Mr. Brooks was considered to be one of the strongest teachers in the colored schools. He was for a number of years a teacher of physics in the M Street High School, from which he was appointed to take charge of similar work in the Armstrong when it was established. Dr. Evans, principal of the Armstrong, states that Mr. Brooks was so proficient it will be practically impossible to fill the vacancy made by his death. One daughter, Frances Berkeley Brooks, survives him. His wife, who was Miss Rosetta Pryor, died June 18, 1901. The deceased was an active churchman, a member of the local council of St. Mary's Chapel, St. John's parish, and of the local council of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew.

Baker, the newly appointed United States Attorney, will retain Mr. Alexander Mullawney, ho. has made such an efficient officer.' Mr. Mullawney has always been a favorite among the members of the bar and a man who has always been attentive to business. Mr. Mullawney is D. ALEXANDER MULLAWNEY, ESQ. a conscientious man who knows no one by the color of his skin. He has faithfully prosecuted all cases that have been given him by his superior. He was transferred from the Police Court several months ago to the United States District Attorney's office to a new field in which he has worked hard and been a success. This was a promotion and it is the sincere hope of the members of the bar irrespective of politics that Mr. Baker will retain him. No appointment would meet a greater approval than this one. He is a man and a gentleman, AMONG THE OLD FELLOWS. The 24th annual session of D. G. L. No. 20 will begin at Odd Fellows' Hall, M street, N.W., at 8 o'clock Monday evening next, September 11th. D. G.

"dark horse" for D. G. M. Say, Doc, there ain't gwine to be any dark horse for D. G. M. This fact you can puff in one of your choice cigarettes. Three months after his election Bloom of Youth Lodge No. 1368 adopted resolution instructing its D. G. L. delegate for whom to vote for D. G. M. To nominate and elect a candidate, and three months thereafter adopt a platform for him to stand on, is about one inch beyond the limit of absurdity. It is rumored that when this strange resolution of instruction (destruction) was passed several donkey's in the nearby livery stable actually smiled. Men in the "bloom of youth" should know better. Mr. Geo. W. Thomas, the D. G. L. delegate from Social Lodge No. 1819, has made some important discoveries. Suffice it to say that Brer. Thomas doesn't require a telescope to observe the real situation. It is right to be manly. It is manly to be right. The "White's" talking machine is of the very latest patent. It faithfully repeats all that is said to it. But strange to say the more it talks the less convincing and more absurd are its sickly arguments. * Mr. Robert Rhone, of Peter Ogden Lodge, wears a very pleasing, congenial smile these days. Really Bob can nail more "yarns" in a day than any one in these woods. The man in the moon authorizes the statement that Past D. G. M. D. B. Webster, the "Old Cream Jug," will not be a candidate for D. G. M. This is the sixth candidate Mr. "Butt" has brought out since June next. NO NEGRO NEED:APPLY IN THE BEE of last week brief mention was made of the appointments in the Police Court and a dispute on the part of a few Democratic and Republican clerks, with the two Republican judges included to ignore the claims of a colored Republican who has been acting as bailiff, nurse, messenger and laborer. The article had no reference to the two acting judges, O'Neal and Milton, but to Judges Scott and Kimball who are the premanent Republican judges, who have never seen fit to appoint a colored man, bailiff or messenger. Whenever a bailiff takes his leave or whenever one is sick or on leave, Mr. Jonas Hughes acts as messenger, bailiff and janitor. His son Richard Hughes, who is classed as a janitor has been doing very satisfactory bailiff duty and when a vacancy occurred, by the death of Mr. Graham, young Richard Hughes, who is a graduate of the law school, applied for the place. He was endorsed by several white members of the bar and Judge O'Neal recommended his appointment, stating that young Hughes' work was satisfactory. But, what was the result? A combination got together and recommended to Judges Scott and Kimball a young Democrat. Not that THE BEE has any objection to a Democrat, because in many instances the Democratic officials in both courts have been more friendly to the colored employees and lawyers than many of the so-called Republican officials. It was variously stated by one or two Republicans in the court that no negro bailiff was needed. Considering the faithful services rendered to Judge Scott by Richard Hughes during his illness one would have presumed that young Hughes would have been considered in the equation. He was flatly turned down. Many Democrats as well as many good Republicans were anxious to see young Hughes appointed. It is hoped that President Roosevelt if a vacancy occurs in the Police Court among the judges, will appoint a judge who will give negro applicants a "square deal." There should be not only a colored bailiff in the Police Court, but two colored clerks. A colored population of 82,000 or more should have some consideration. Let the Police Court be reorganized.

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 howling 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 be 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 bloodthirstiness went up from the crowd. Satisfaction Guaranteed.

MARSHAL, W. 80th St. NEW YORK Dynamite Gunboat Has Been Refitted and Is Now a Torpedo Training Ship. Boston.—The United States ship Vesuvius, once the only dynamite gunboat in any navy, which in the Spanish war frightened many Spanish soldiers and sailors at Santiago, will go Into commission again in a few days at the Charlestown navy yard. She is a dynamite cruiser no longer, her new designation being a torpedo training ship. She will be stationed at the torpedo station at Newport. About $200,000 has been expended at the local yard in refitting the ship for her new work. About all that remains of the old fitted 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.

Points Presented by London Physician in Proof of an Eminently Reasonable Theory. 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, colling 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 Groslewarthen, in Hungary. In olden days the midden 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. STATISTICS OF BUSINESS FAILURES IN LONDON. More Widows and Spinsters and Fewer Wives Applied for Belief from Debts Last Year. London.—Of the 8,631 bankruptcles and deeds of arrangement in 1904, 487 were failures of women, compared with 465 out of a total of 7,908 in 1903. 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 monkeys 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 forthcoming. "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 1903; the estimated loss to creditors is $46,855,900. 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 $610,675. OWNER OF TWO HEARTS. Singularly Afflicted Subject of King Alfonso Owned by Madrid.—The rare case of a man possessed of two hearts, one pumping 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 fatigue 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, 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 Routes 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 pigsy, lying down with the pig. Another day its surprised master discovered it in a field frolicking with a lamb. The missionary spirit among the Mohammedans is said to be remarkable. In India and Africa they are making great strides, and now they have invaded London and will erect a $150,000 mosque. Meetings of a Moslem mission character have recently been held in Liverpool and London. HOWARD UNIVERSITY MEDICAL DEPARTMENT (Including Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutic Colleges.)

Consul General Guenther of Frankfort reports that the Prussian military surgeon, Dr. Uhlenhuth, who has been transferred to the Hygienic Institute of the University of Griefswald, is the discoverer of a new method for distinguishing human from animal blood. In 1897 Dr. Uhlenhuth was assistant at the institute for infectious diseases at Berlin, and is a member of the commission for investigating the foot-and-mouth disease. In the fall of 1900 Dr. Uhlenhuth published very important investigations with reference to distinguishing between the albumen of eggs of various birds upon the basis of modern science, which is mainly the result of the researches of Bordet of France and Ehrlich of Frankfort. Uhlenhuth found that these albumens can be differentiated biologically. His researches resulted in the very important discov- ry of a new forensic method to distinguish human from animal blood, so that it is now possible to tell with absolute certainty the origin of even the smallest traces of blood either in dry or also in putrefied form. This method which he published in February, 1901, was soon confirmed on all sides, and has become of fundamental importance for forensic medicine. By his method he can tell the presence of horse meat in sausage and other smoked-meat articles, which is a great step in advance for the examination of food stuffs. "A PECULIAR PEOPLE."

All passenger trains of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad to and from New York City now have direct ferry connection with 23rd Street Terminal, in addition to Liberty Street; the South Ferry Terminal having been discontinued. Twenty-third Street is the most popular terminal of the great metropolis because of its convenience to the hotel, theatre and shopping district. In the recent remodeling of the terminal building a glass roofed canopy was constructed fifty feet wide, under which the cross-town cars of the 14th, 23rd, 28th and 29th Street lines pass, so that passengers are protected from the weather leaving the ferry house, and also avoid the annoyance of street traffic. All baggage destined to New York City will be delivered to 23rd Street unless distinctly marked "Liberty Street," or otherwise. A complete electric cab service has also been established for the transportation of passengers and baggage at very reasonable rates. The importance of 23rd Street is most graphically brought to attention in the August pumber of the Book of the Royal Blue published by the passenger department of the Baltimore & Ohio, under the title "Into the Heart of Gotham." The interest centers within a mile radius of 23rd street, Fifth avenue and Broadway. Full page photographs of unusual detail present a most vivid picture of this most interesting locality. Send 5 cents for copy to D. B. Martin, Manager Passenger Traffic, B & O. R. R., Baltimore, Md. New York.—Capt von Leitner, of the steamer Graecia, writes to a friend here from the West Indies that when his ship was out two days from this port, which she left July 26, and steaming south, the lookout gave the innusual cry: "Whale aboy." Capt. von Leitner from the bridge needed no help from his binocular to verify the lookout's statement. Directly in the path of the steamship a monster whale was rolling and spouting. Sixty feet long is the most conservative estimate of its length. "Port your helm." the captain shouted to the quartermaster. The command came too late. With a crash that made the steamship shiver from stem to stern the vessel's sharp bow struck the monster, cutting it squarely in two. The crew ran aft on each side of the ship watching the two halves of the monster as they floated by. The sea was crimsoned with its life fluid. The vessel was stopped for the purpose of finding out whether the hull or machinery was damaged, by the collision. All was found well, and the ship proceeded on her way. BIG SHARK TAKEN IN NET. Two Summer Residents at Seaside Land Big Fish After Hard Fight. New Haven, Conn.—When Howard Ryan, of Springfield, Mass., and J. A. Lenox, of Bridgeport, both summer residents at Milford Point, saw something floundering in a net just off Ponds Point near Milford one morning recently they put off in a small boat to investigate. They found a shark seven feet eight inches long tled up in the net. At great risk they tled a rope around the shark's tall and towed it ashore. The shark got stranded on a sandbar not far from shore and the two men couldn't get it any further. Then they started to kill it. Twice during the struggle the shark managed to get a grip on Ryan's clothing and a piece in his mouth Ryan pulling away in time to save his body. Half a dozen cottagers had to help the two men before the shark was killed. Julius Cohen, CLOTHIER and|Gents OUTFITTER. $1. Full Dress Suits For Hire-$1. 1800 and 1904 Seventh St..

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.

Write to THE BEE Printing Co Lable to MeningItfu Veterinary surgeons know, but the general public probably does not, that some animals are as liable to meningitis as are human beings. 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. World's Water Power The aggregate water-power utilized in the world to-day for electric energy is probably 2.000,000 horse-power, which is about twice the steam power used in England and Ireland combined.
