DuBris For Reduction DuBris For Reduction FAVORS 14TH AMENDMENT AND FEDERAL AID TO EDUCATION AT BOSTON MASS MEETING. Hon. A. B. Humphreys, of New York Republican Club, "Roasts" W. H. Lewis while audience laughs uproar- iously at Lewis' expense. Ogden a "Blacksmith in a Jewelry Shop" in Dealing with Equal Rights. Boston, Mass., Sept. 20, 1905. The meeting held last night at Parker Memorial Hall under the joint auspices of the New England and Boston Suffrage Leagues proved to be one of the greatest political mass meetings ever held in Boston by colored people. This was due chiefly to the presence of Professor W. E. B. Du Bois, General Secretary of the Niagara movement, whom Rev. Byron Gunner introduced as the greatest leader of 10,000,000 Americans and head of the greatest movement of the race; and of Hon. Andrew B. Humphrey, of New York, member of the New York Rephulican Club, of the Union League Club and Secretary of the National Constitutional Club whose object is to secure the enforcement of the amendments. Both men were received with salvos of applause. Professor Du Bois made a scholarly and convincing argument for Reduction of Representation wherever disfranchisement existed and for National Aid to Education as a co-ordinate measure. He said he could not understand how anyone could claim the enforcement of the 14th Amendment illegal. The sensation of the meeting came, however, in the speech of Mr. Humphrey, who, after showing that all attempts to enforce the 15th Amendment had failed, the Supreme Court putting the enforcement on Congress and Congress putting it back on the Supreme Court, proceeded to show up the fallacies of the speech of Assistant District Attorney Lewis, who had taken a seat in the hall, at the Detroit meeting of the Afro-American Council. He prefaced his dissection of Lewis' speech by telling a story in which figured some New Jersey sandwiches, the meat of which under stress the maker admitted was from the garbage can, but the bread of which some shipwrecked men found good. He complimented Mr. Lewis for his ability and read passages of his speech which were the bread of a bad sandwich, the meat of which was his argument against reduction. (General laughter.) Again and again the speaker convulsed the audience with mirth as he punctured Lewis' speech. The audience shouted and Lewis winced, as Mr. Humphrey riddled Lewis' claim that the Southern negroes opposed the Republican Suffrage plank by telling how the negro delegates at Chicago favored it to a man and by repeating his argument that Southern Southern negro officeholders would lose their salaries. His exclamation, "Let 2,000 men lose office rather than 2,000,000 negros be made slaves" elicited wild applause. The speaker showed that there were no illegal Southern Democratic votes in Congress to oppose legislation needed to make the 15th Amendment Enforceable through the Supreme Court. He resented the inference of some colored men that the Suffrage plank was imminal to negros, showing its sponsors were abolitionists, white men, who had fought in the war and had enacted the Amendments (great and prolonged applause). The audience enjoyed Mr. Humphreys' remark that Mr. Robert C. Ogden, whose speech at the Business League he scored, was a great business man, but in matters of equal rights, was a blacksmith in a jewelry shop." Not in years has such old fashioned sequence for the race been heard here from a white man. Mr. Humphreys was the hero of the hour. Of the meeting the Boston Herald of Tolya had the following account: Asst. Dist. Atty. William H. Lewis mildly scored by the Hon. Andrew B Humphrey of New York at a mass meeting of the colored citizens held last night at the Parker Memorial, the occasion for the criticism being the opinions expressed by Mr. Lewis recent at Detroit concerning the attitude of the colored people of the South toward the proposed reduction of southern representation in Congress. This was an incidental feature of the address, and Mr. Humphrey soon turned the course of his discursive remarks to other subjects connected with "Suffrage and the Enforcement of the 14th Amendment" and National Aid to Education." The meeting was held under the auspices of the New England Suffrage League, which passed resolutions to be transmitted to Congress dealing with the questions considered at the meeting. Mr. Humphrey who was the author of the plank in the Republican national platform adopted in Chicago in 1904 for the reduction of southern representation, told the history of that plank. He said that when he took this proposition to Chicago he found 100 negro delegates there, and on the committee on resolutions there were five negros, all of whom voted for the plank. This evidence he considered conclusive as proving that the southern negoes were in favor of reduction of representation in the South, and although he was sharp in his remarks and in his constant reference to the unsavory metaphor that had occurred to him, his criticism of Dist. Atty. Lewis, who was present in the audience, was not in the least hostile. The auditors applauded Mr. Humphrey, but showed no manifestation of ill will toward Mr. Lewis, whom they believed to have made a mistake in his Detroit speech either from ignorance of facts or inadvertence. Prof. William DuBois of Atlanta University delivered a scholarly address on "National Aid to Education," in which he argued that a nation with one-eighth of its population (its negroes) of inferior education could not safely and sanely develop. This uneducated eighth of the population, the speaker said, constitutes a real danger to the other seven-eighths. Education alone cannot ensure this end, but education and enlightenment are certainly the first step toward this end. Lieut. Gov. Curtis Guild, Jr., was present at the meeting: representing the commonwealth. His address was, in part, as follows: This association, I was informed when I accepted this invitation, is organized for no particular legislation, but for the promotion of popular education, and especially for the defense of the principle that, under the constitution, equal American citizens without regard to political rights should be assured to all artificial restrictions of race or creed. To such an association, based on such principles, it is a pleasure to bring the greetings of the commonwealth, for, with the exception of the state of Abraham Lincoln, in no state of the Union are such principles more appropriately defended than in the state of Garrison and of Andrew. It is a melancholy fact, but it is a fact, that in 12 states of the Union there is no such thing as a national election, no such thing as an expression through elections of public opinion on national politics. Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia send 132 electors to choose a President to the electoral college. Those votes—the result of a selection, not of an election—are never cast in accordance with the real opinion of the people of those states, white or black, on any national policy. The state of Texas is really vociferously in favor of the policy of President Roosevelt and his administration, yet that same state has done its utmost through its electoral ballot to drive him from office to wreck his plans, to nullify his great policies for the uplift of the nation for the peace of the world. The resolutions passed by the meeting call upon Congress to pass some measure of national aid in accordance with illiteracy in the respective states; for the emancipation of the suffrage, and call upon the President to secure an enforcement of the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments to the constitution. William Trotter and the Rev. William Scott also spoke. The meeting was presided over by the Rev. Byron Gunner, of Newport. FREDERICK FAIR, October 17, 18, 19, and 20.

No text or additional details are present.] JUDGE LEWIS I O'NEAL. ACTING JUDGE OF THE POLICE COURT What I Saw And Heard I am surprised to see these idle attacks made on our high school. Who is responsible? Is there some one on the inside who is an enemy to the 'principal? The lady, teachers in the public schools should be given an opportunity to supervise one of the several school divisions. Miss Lucy Moter has been exonerated by the school board of education. Miss Moter claims that she is not responsible for the failure of pupils after they enter her department. Prof. Joiner, who had such a delightful trip to Chicago, has returned. He was royally entertained while in his old city. He had the honor to address the mixed high school of Chicago. Such an honor has never been bestowed upon one of its graduated students. The Chicago high school has about 120 pupils, about twenty of these are colored and the remainder are white. Prof. Joiner is a good speaker as well as a good writer. Dr. Atwood, who knows nothing about our high school seems to find fault with Mrs. Cooper. The people are with Mrs. Cooper and they propose JUDGE LEWIS I O'NEAL. COURT to see that she is vindicated. Judge O'Neil is the choice of the people for judge, of the police court. He is just the man for the place. I agree with the sentiment that our Board of Education should not permit color prejudice to predominate in our schools. The people who support the schools don't propose to allow their high school, to be turned into an industrial institution. The boys in the west end are having a delightful time. There are several organizations in that section that are doing well. My friend Mr. Charles Alexander has broken with his ex-chief, Prof. Booker T. Washington. One by one the Moses is losing his lieutenants. Mr. Alexander was one of the best and most careful defenders of Mr. Washington. Editor Fartune, of the New York Age, continues to hold on. Mr. Fartune will stick as long as the wheels are greased. Editor Fartune knows that you can't run a newspaper on wind. I am anxious to see M. W. L. Taylor, Jr., return to the city. Mr. Taylor is a man who is liked by the Washington people. I am informed that brother Leatherwood of the Industrial Enterprise has been convinced that Washington is a hard city in which to publish a newspaper. Mr. Baker has decided to appoint a colored lawyer in the District Attorney's office. Among the lawyers who are being considered are: Thomas L. Jones, James A. Cobb and Fontaine Peyton. The fight for judge of the police court has narrowed down to Mr. Sinclair and Judge O'Neil. Ex-justice of the peace, A. S. Taylor is making a bold fight. He is confident of winning.—Fair Play. 2nd BAPTIST LYCEUM Prof. W. S. Montgomery will address the Second Baptist Lyceum tomorrow afternoon at 3:30. Mr. John P. Green will preside. BETHEL LITERARY. Bethel Literary and Historical Association will offer next Tuesday evening, Rev. M. W. D: Farman, D.D., who will read a paper on the evolution of oratory as an art. Paragraphic News The Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty Co., is building the Masonic Temple at Savannah, Georgia at cost of $12,000. From the appearance of last week's issue of the Star of Zion, the ladies must have had possession of it. Many articles written by some of the leading women were excellent. Giles B. Jackson, of Richmond, Va., who has charge of the negro exhibits at Jamestown says: "There is only one best place for the black man and that is in the South." Four automobiles have been purchased and placed on the streets of Nashville, Tenn., for the use of the people injured by the Jim Crow Law. Hon. Judson Lyons delivered the oration at the Emancipation celebration at Huntington, West Virginia. His speech met the hearty endorsement of all his hearers. The largest crowd in the history of the place was in attendance. Midnight's Musings in The Afro-American Ledger, last week were very interesting. ACTING JUDGE OF THE POLICE URT The Niagara Movement has been endorsed in Maryland by the organization of a state branch. Mr. Emmet J. Scott, in a letter to the Florida Sentinel, says that the report that volleys were fired into Mr. Washington's home at Tuskegee, is false. The Chicago Conservator in expressing its opinion of Mrs. Fannie Barrier Williams, says: "She does not act the part of the brave manly person In kicking at the Conservator." The Philadelphia Tribune states that Paul Lawrence Dumbar is residing with his mother in Dayton, Ohio. Rev. Mrs. Florence Randolph is another living example of the smart womain of our people, born and educated in the South. The National Baptist Pub. Board has issued The Teacher for October, also The Advance, the Intermediate and primary Quarterly for October, November and December. All are brim full of interest. The large livery stable of McDaniel Brothers was totally destroyed by fire last Monday, sixty-five horses being burned to death and about 150 carriages and wagons with many tons of hay and feed also being destroyed. The loss is over 50,000 dollars. Postmaster Merritt, returned to his desk last Monday after spending a short vacation at his home in Lockport, N. Y. The son of T. E. Howard, former supreme court justice of Indiana, was found in Notre Dame cemetery lake last Monday. It is said that the Russian cruiser Novik, which the Japanese sunk near Krosakovsk Island off Sakhalin in August, 1904, will be raised about the middle of next month. Baron Komura, the Japanese peace envoy was well enough to start on his journey to Japan last Wednesday. Mr. Sato accompanied him. The thirty-third meeting of physicians, surgeons and bacteriologists from all parts of the United States and Canada convened at Boston last Monday. The convention really began Tuesday. President Martin W. Littleton, of Brooklyn, said last Monday that he heard that his name was to be presented to the fusion conference as a candidate for mayor and he further stated that he would not accept the nomination. John Hutchinson, a wealthy man of Upper Sandusky, Ohio, was killed one day this week while gathering coal along the tracks, by a Hocking Valley passenger train. He was, worth nearly $100,000. The Mardi Gras parade at Coney Island was stopped last Saturday by an explosion of the manhole of the electric subway. Many people were injured. Edwin W. Higgs, of Norwich, Conn., was nominated for Congress, to succeed U. S. Senator elect, Frank B. Brandgee. The repairing of the Jefferson Hotel at Richmond, Va., which was somewhat burned about four years ago, began Monday. One side remained in ruins, while the other was used as a hotel. It is stated that nearly $1,000,000 will be expended on it. Gen. Chaffee is spending most of his time in London, visiting the historical places in that vicinity. Former Governor of Illinois, John H. Hamilton, died at his home, in Chicago, last Saturday of congestion of the lungs. The Republican municipal convention nominated John R. Partridge for mayor at their meeting the latter part of last week. The National Protective Legion will meet the next two years at Buffalo. Six persons were killed at Philadelphia, Pa., Monday by the St. Louis express, eastbound, crushing into the rear of a passenger train. All of those who were killed were in a private car. Cardinal Ferrari, archbishop of Milan, visited King Victor Emmanuel and Queen Helena at the royal palace, where the sovereigns are sojourning, last Tuesday. It is stated that the king conferred with the cardinal for half an hour. Admiral Schley was too ill to attend the, Masonic gathering which took place in Nashville, Tenn. Tariff revision is still opposed by Senator Dick. Mary Thomas, a dark-skinned and the oldest citizen of Norfolk, Va., died at that place Tuesday, being 113 years of age. She was born in the year 1792, at Perquimous county, N. C. Four children, thirty grandchildren, forty-five great-grandchildren and ten great-great-grandchildren survive her. It is said that the controversy between the electrical companies of Berlin and their workmen has become worse. TO SOMERSET BEACH A joint complimentary excursion was given to Somerset Beach, Thursday morning, September 28th by the Jane Mosley Steamboat Company and the Chesapeake Bay Club. Recorder J. C. Dancy, delivered a most delightful address on river enterprise. Dr. and Mrs. Charles I. West and son and Mrs. Baldwin, who have been the guests of Dr. and Mrs. E. Terry, of Atlantic City for several weeks, have returned to the city. They all have spent a most delightful time in the city by the sea. Miss Blanch Morgan, of the whist circle, whose delightful presence will be missed, left the city last Saturday for New York, which will be her future home. W. L. Houstin, Grand Director of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows has returned to the city after a tour of Maryland and Virginia, having visited the Grand Lodge in each of those states and addressed the ladies in session assembled. He was enthusiastically received and made a large number of fraternal friends for himself while sojourning in those neighboring states. MR. E. MURRAY. Mr. E. Murray has purchased a commodious house on You street near True Reformers Hall, where he has opened a first-class dining room and ice cream parlor. Oysters fried, stewed and in all styles. First-class meals served at the shortest notice. Call and inspect. MR. CROMWELL RESIGNS. Mr. John Wesley Cromwell, editor of the Record has resigned from the editorship of that paper. Mr. Cromwell and the owner, Rev. Sampton could not agree. It is rumored that Mr. Cromwell intends to publish a new paper. The Record will be published strictly as a first-class paper. Among The Odd-Fellows AMONG THE ODD FELLOWS. Say, why did everybody smile when the D. G. Master West appointed the tellers to count the vote for the D. G. officers? Now don't all the delegates try to talk at once. When the roll of officers of the "Black Horse Calvary" was called Wednesday evening, the 19th instant, the following well-known officers were found to have deserted the regiment: Colonel White, Major Walker, Lieutenant Brown and Captain Carter. As Captain Carter made a strenuous effort to get on the regimental band wagon just as the regiment was about to move on the enemies works, he was 'marked, "absent without leave." The deserters will be courtmartialed at an early day and if found guilty of conduct unbecoming old officers and gentlemen (which seems most likely) they will be dishonorably discharged the service. But if acquitted, they will, unless good cause is shown, be suspended for four years and then retired without pay. When this famous regiment (the Black Horse Cavalry) was organized on-upper 7th street, N. W. in August, 1895, by Colonel White and a certain well-known general and regimental surgeon, who were dismissed the service several years ago, the officers who recently deserted were among its ablest commanders. In addition to being courtmartialed, Col. White will be charged and tried for killing an old capture 1st Sergeant Coleman and other mule in his efforts to lie down and This regiment will now be reorganized and the vacancies caused by desertion, etc. will be filled by promotions members of the Black Horse Cavalry from the ranks. Don't fail to see and read Military Order No. 1. Past D. G. Master, T, W. West, is highly commended for the able and impartial manner in which he presided over the D. G. L. and having the work of that body concluded in three meetings. District Grand Master, James H. Coleman, is daily in receipt of letters and telegrams from friends in various parts of the country heartily congratulating him upon his election. "Truth crushed to the earth will rise again." It is reported that the departed anti-administration forces will call a mass-meeting soon to tell just how it all happened. "If 'silence' is real eloquence, then the defeated candidate for D. G. Master was by far the most eloquent member of the D. G. Lodge. During the entire session he "opened not his mouth." At an early day there will appear in THE BEE, a hitherto unpublished chapter in the Book of "Samuels." Don't fail to read it. Brer—D. B. Webster, the famous "Old Cream Jug," was simply running over with rich cream when he hurled Jupiter, like his terrible and fatal thunder bolts at those who want to form an office trust inside the order. You are right Brer D. B., one office at a time if you please. It matters not who are elected District Grand Officers, Past D. D. G. Master I. H. Hunter always remains and takes part in the installation when requested. This is very commendable, for brother. Hunter and others should follow his example. Among the delegates to the Odd Fellows Hall Association, are four ladies representing the following H's. of R.: Mrs. Bertha Watson, Golden Link, H. of R. No. 569; Mrs. Ellen Jackson, Palestine H. of R. No. 1712; Mrs. Louise Kemp, Lydia H. of R. No. 1804; and Mrs. Alice Quivers, Philis Wheatley H. of R. No. 2203. These delegates are intelligent and energetic and in discussions are often more pointed and logical than many of the male members of the Hall Association.

Shall Cremated Corpse Pay Same Rate for Carriage as Body in Coffin? Paris.—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 ordnance 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. Louis J.

Tours World in Auto. A special cablegram announces the arrival of Charles J. Glidden, the Boston millionaire, in Paris from Java, completing an automobile tour of the world. 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. It has developed that Miss Edra Theresa Kenton, the daughter of a rich Philadelphia manufacturer, has been the wife of A. H. Nash, a Winnebago Indian, for nearly two weeks. Nash graduated from Carlisle in 1897 and studied at Andover and the University of Pennsylvania. Not In The Trust RITY ICE CO. near K St. Market N.W. e Trust ICE CO. Market N.W.

Walton EX-SLAVE MEETS MASTER. Southern Negro Encounters Man Who Owned Him More Than Forty Years Ago. Springfield, Neb.—Harry Edmundson, a well-to-do negro living two miles from here, and Mason Peters, a rich stockman, of Kansas City, met a few days ago for the first time in over 41 years since 1864. Then Harry, at the age of four years, had recently beer presented to Mason Peters, the eldest son of Ashby Peters, of Clay county Mo., on whose homestead the boy was born in slavery. Together with his mother and five brothers and sisters, Harry had been sold at auction, but Mrs. Peters had taken a fancy to the little fellow, and at her intercession he was not delivered to his new masters, but was allowed to remain on the old homestead and was given as a present to the elder son of the family. Soon after his mother, calling her six children to her, set out to seek her own and their freedom, having lost faith in Uncle Sam. They made their way to what is now Kansas City Kan., where they found friends and Harry "just growed." Now he is the happy possessor of a wife and family and a fine 80-acre farm. Through a newspaper clipping Edmundson recently located his old master and in response to a letter received an invitation to pay him a visit. The invitation was accepted and the one time slave had a pleasant time with his former owner. He has just returned to his Nebraska home. MAKE FIGHT ON LAZY WORM Porto Ricans Are Enthusiastic Over Medical Success—Experiment a Good One. Washington.—That the people of Port) R co have become thoroughly awakened and enthusiastic in their desire and endeavor to rid themselves of the scourge of anaemia, popularly designated the "lazy worm" affliction, is indicated in a report just received by the surgeon general of the army from Capt. B. K. Ashford, who is expending $15,000 this year in a camppaign against that malady. During the months of June, July and August nearly 10,000 patients had been treated, with cures in nearly every instance. In August at the medical station in Albonito exactly one-third of the population was treated. This number was 2,482, of whom only six died. 716 were discharged as fully cured, while the majority of the remainder are on the road to recovery. The effect of the disease is to render the victim absolutely unfit for work. The disease gradually wastes away the tissues, during which time the afflicted becomes a public charge on the community. The natives believe this wasting away was from lack of food and ridiculed the idea that a cure could be effected through the use of medicine. Besides administering a cure, the medical corps under Dr. Ashford has been conducting a campaign of education in regard to sanitation. This is later to be followed with a law on the subject from which great good is expected. CALLS HIS WIFE A WITCH. Russian, Believing Neighbor's Stories, Refuses to Live with Helpmeet —Woman Pleads Innocence. Freeland, Pa.—Andrew Fetchik, a Russian living at Drifton, brought his wife to the office of Dr. J.B. Houston here and asked the physician to examen her, claiming she is bewitched. He said his neighbors for months had been tormenting him about her but until lately he did not believe them. Now he joined with them in believing that she was "possessed," and unless the doctor could do something he would no longer live with her. Dr. Houston would make it requested examination Fetchik could not be persuaded to believe that his neighbors were wrong as well as himself, and declared that he no longer recognized the woman as his wife, and would not live with her. The neighbors have accused her of an evil power, and threatened to kill her. The poor woman says her neighbors have influenced the husband against her, and denies being the author of the alleged ill of which she is accused. RARE CONTINENTAL BILLS.

Allentown.—Squire George Applegate, said to be the wealthiest man in Bethlehemh, 80 years old, came to the Allentown courthouse and obtained a license to marry Mrs. Augusta Wahl, 60 years old, of the same place. When he received the license he remarked that he had not Mrs. Wahl's full consent to the wedding, but he guessed when he showed her the license she would realize he had not proposed in fun, but meant business. Squire Applegate, when he pocketed his license, remarked further that he had already given each of his five children $30,000. In view of this he thought they ought not to object to his proposed marriage. He drew from his pocket a huge package of deeds. On his wedding day, he said, he would give each of his children a deed for another house, and added: "And I'll have plenty for myself and wife." MR. RICHARDS.

NEW YORK NEW USE FOR VESUVIUS. Dynamite Gunboat Has Been Reatted and Is Nowa 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 fitteds 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.

Lawyer's Novel Point Followed by Acquittal and Marriage of Wisconsin Pair. Escanaba, Mich.—A sensational wedding followed the still more sensational $50,000 damage suit of A. W. Hollman, son of the Green Bay (Wis,) postmaster, against Henry Rahr, a millionaire brewer, whom he accused of alienating his wife's affections. Mrs. Hollman secured a divorce some months ago on the ground of cruelty. Shortly afterward Hollman sought to recover heavy damages from Rahr. The testimony in the case was most sensational. Cab drivers, ministers, saloon and restaurant owners told of many instances of alleged improper behavior of Rahr and Mrs. Hollman. Just when the plaintiff's counsel was about ready to rest with a mass of incriminating testimony one witness declared that at one time he saw Mrs. Hollman sitting on Mr. Rahr's lap. The lawyer for the defendant rose promptly to the opportunity. "Mr. Rahr," he said, "kindly let the jury see your lap." Mr. Rahr displayed his lap. Inasmuch as he weighed about 250 pounds and is far from being tall, the lap which the jury saw was infinitesimal. Even Mrs. Hollman, petite as she is, couldn't find accommodations on such a lap. The jury laughed and Rahr was acquitted. Rahr married Mrs. Hollman in this city to avoid the Wisconsin law which prevents a remarriage of a divorced person in less than a year. IN LOVE WITH A CHINAMAN Young Daughter of Army Surgeon Decides to Wed a Well-to-Do Boston, Mass.—Friends of 16-year-old Eve Moore, daughter of the late Dr. Frederick J. Moore, of Roxbury, formerly a United States army surgeon, are discussing the young girl's attempt to wed Lee San, a young Chlaiman who runs a laundry in Roxbury, just around the corner from Miss Moore's home. Miss Moore says she "has been engaged" to Lee San, also that they tried to get a marriage license in Chelsea and were told they could not unless they lived there. Miss Moore's mother said at first: "It's all foolishness." In the next breath, however, she told the reporter: "Lee San is all right—a good fellow," also that he has just been left money by an uncle in San Francisco. The mother is also reported as saying she would rather see Eva married to a Chinaman than to a worthless white man. Lee San isn't saying anything at all. Lee San is a prosperous looking celestial who wears American clothes. He is about 20 years old. He is shy of being interviewed. He is said to be proprietor of a flourishing tea store as well as of the laundry which bears his name. IN MALE ATTIRE; DRINKS. Disguised Girl Imbibes at Bar Like, Man-Ban Away from Home Nashville, Tenn.—Stella Newton aged 17 and very pretty, was arrested at the Arlington hotel, where she had been stopping under the name of Kenneth Halcolm. Her identity was discovered by a bartender at a local saloon, where she went and called for a drink of whisky. Later she returned and called for half a pin to the liquor The bartender suspected something and refused. When arrested Miss Newton said she came here from Memphis, and she had a health certificate from that city. Previous to going to Memphis she salte she had been to Greenville, Miss, but her home, she claimed, was in Louisville. The girl claims that she has no relatives or kinspeople, and that her reason for dressing in male attire was that she thought she could the more easily make her way in the world. After her arrest her cultase was examined and no female clothing found. She said then that she had lived with her guardian and his wife in Louisville, that her guardian was cruel to her, and she finally decided to adopt men's clothing and left home. TURTLE HAS NINE LIVES. Destructive Creature Reappears Repeatedly, Despite Precautions of Farmer's Wife. Hereford, Pa.—There is a turtle, an innocent looking, tiny land turtle. In Jefferson township, this county, that promises to outrival the cat that had nine lives. It is a stray turtle that was found five years ago on the farm of Adam Schoener, and its shell at that time was embellished with the engraved signature of Schoener's son. Then the turtle disappeared until last year when it bobbed up in the truck patct of the Schoeners and proceeded to help itself to the best vegetables. Mrs. Schoener, in anger, threw the destructive little creature into Tulpe hocken creek, a mile away, thinking to lose it. But the turtle came back. Crossing the 40-foot wide stream. It reappeared in the patch and resumed the devastation. Again it was tossed into the same stream, and recently r. Turtle, 48.hours after his bath, reappeared among the tomatoes. The Schoeners were exasperated, but as Berks county farmers are superstitious about killing turtles, they decided to keep it as a relic in an enclosure filled with vegetables. POTTERY-MAKING, 2,000 YEARS AGO. BROUGHT TO LIGHT. Harry Firth, an Englishman, Duplicates the Celebrated Blackware of the Etruscans—Hits on Scheme by Boundabout Route. London.—Examples of an art lost more than 20 centuries and only rediscovered by accident, have been exhibited recently by Harry Firth, of Kirkby Lonsdale, England. The work duplicates the famous blackware of the Etruscans. Mr. Firth spent the first 40 years of his life tending flowers for the squire of Kirkby Lonsdale. He was a common gardener, earning in the neighborhood of six dollars a week. In 1890 he became interested in wood carving, through the instrumentality of the Arts and Crafts Guild, an institution originally started by Watts, Ruskin, Morrls and a number of other then youthfully enthusiastic artists, but now supported almost wholly by the various county councils of England under the patronage of the queen and almost all the royal family. In 1890 the gud was introduced into Kirkby Lonsdale, and Mr. Firth, his little daughter his wife and other members of his family joined the student ranks. He took up wood carving, the daughter worked in color, his wife embossed leather, and all three have made a wonderful success. Mr. Firth speedily found that his designs were difficult of execution, however, as he had no model with which to guide the movements of his chisel. Hence he was quick, to avail himself of a suggestion that he model his work in clay, afterward copying the design in wood. For a year or more he laboriously trudged seven weary miles with loads of plastic models to a neighboring brick kiln, where they were baked hard. By degrees his interest in clay overshadowed his interest in wood and instead of molding mere designs for his chisel to copy he tried his prentice hand at original work in pottery. The same success which had met his wood carving followed him in this, and the same energy which had carried his models seven miles after a hard day's work in the garden carried his pots and his vases over the same tedious road to the brick kiln. A few months, however, and he saw that he had either reached his limit as a creative potter or he must devise new means for firing his clay. This he did by building for himself a small oven in a little deserted shed whose owner allowed him its use free of charge. It was in this shed and in a little testing box at the apex of his home-made oven that Harry Firth, the gardener, finally wrested a secret of the ages and made once more the famous black Etruscan ware, sung by Juvenal. Perseus and Horace and sought unsuccessfully by the leading potters all through the Christian era. To the unsophisticated gardener, playing at pottery, the discovery meant nothing more than the loss of so much clay and so much labor. The rare specimens of newly found art he placed tearfully away in a corner where rubbish piled up and dust covered them. There they stood for weeks till an inquisitive clergyman with an eye for the artistic and an interest in the potter began routing about in the shell and unearthed them. He was enthusiastic, and quickly set Firth's heart beating wildly with his tales of dead arms and his praise of the discarded treasures. Then came the real labor, for though made once, it was not easy to reproduce an accident, and it took nine months of daily work before Firth again managed to duplicate the ancient work. Mr. Firth has ceased gardening and now makes his living entirely by his art, but it is not much of a living, for he has all the artist's objection to making money by his work. He charges barely enough to cover the cost of his labor, and lives laborious days, where a less squeamish man might have luxury and the plaudits of thousands. WINS SWEETHEART BY RUSE Parent Raves Behind Bars—Daught Sees Man of Choice—Father Is Liberated. St. Paul, Minn.—A story of how "love will find a way" has developed in the probate court. William L. Wallace, of this city, was arraigned to be examined as to his sanity. The physicians said he was perfectly sane and then the story came out. The old man was arrested on complaint of his daughter. A young man called on the daughter, Miss Virginia Wallace, at her home. The father answered the knock and promptly ejected the young man. The young swain then went to the back door and while the father was walking up and down the sidewalk in front of the house the daughter is alleged to have let this young gallan, into the house through a rear window. The father discovered this and tried to get back into the house. He gave vent to some strong language and pounded on the door, when the daughter telephoned to the Margaret street police station, saying her home was besieged by a crazy man. When the police arrived they found the frate parent storming about and promptly took him away without knowing who he was. "Just This Way." Doubtless there are hundreds of old men sitting on the street corners of Tokio whittling pine sticks who think they could have done better than Komura in negotiating peace term. Prof. Metchnikoff says one may live 190 years on a sour milk diet. But what's the use? The Bee. PUBLISHED AT 1109 Eye St., N. W., Washington, D. C. W. CALVIN CHASE, EDITOR.

The people in this community are very much interested in their High School, of which Mrs. Anna J. Cooper is principal. There seems to be a disposition on the part of some people to degrade our school and its principal. It is the duty of the Board of Education, that represents the people, to see that the wishes of the people are respected. What offense has Mrs. Cooper committed? What has been her record? It is well laid out in a petition to the Board by the principals of the several schools, which appears in The Bee this week. It shows that Mrs. Cooper has been the best principal the school has ever had since its organization. She has done more for the colored youth than any principal we have had. Because she refuses to subordinate her womanhood for demagogues and tricksters, should that be a sufficient cause for her removal? The taxpayers in this city have some rights that should be respected. They ought to know whether they want their children to have a higher education or be subservient to toadylism or a theory that seems to be prevalent in the minds of the apologists. Our public schools under the superintendency of Mr. Geo. F. T. Cook produced some of the most useful men and women of the present age. Our graduates then demonstrated greater power than they do now. And yet our graduates are equal to the whites. It is claimed by a few that our pupils cannot grasp as readily or as quickly as white pupils. The Civil Service examinations show that a larger per cent of our high school graduates are mose successful, in proportion, in passing examinations for positions than the white graduates of the white high school. Why should colored pupils be a bone of contention? The colored population don't ask for mixed schools. All they ask is to be let alone. Why should our schools be interfered with? Are they an eyesore to the enemy? The people demand that Mrs. Cooper be let alone. THE PREJUDICE OF ORGANIZED LABOR. The action of the Executive Council of the American Federation of Labor, which met in this city last week, in passing a resolution opposing the admission of Chinese, Japanese and Koreans into the United States as immigrants is an exhibition of narrowness and race fanaticism which will tend to destroy confidence in the justice and humanity of organized labor. The labor movement is said to have for its object the lessening of the burdens of the toiling masses, a more even distribution of the fruits of toil, the increase of physical well-being, the spread of education and the enlargement of liberty; in short it claims to be a humane movement. Nobody whose opinion is worth a moment's consideration is opposed to organized labor. It has been the belief and hope of many that organized labor was a step in the direction of larger humanity, more extended brotherhood and enlarged opportunities. In practical operation, in too many cases, the dominance of organized labor means bigotry, proscription, tyranny, brutality, race fanaticism and restricted liberty. So far as its effect on the wage scale and the standard of living is concerned the admission of Chinese, Japanese and Koreans, will have no more effect than the admission of the hordes from Southern Europe, consisting of Italiani, J Huns and the like. The continued influx of immigrants from Southern Europe will glut the labor market, and they can live on as simple and scanty a diet as any Oriental can. The simple fact of the matter is that the opposition to Oriental immigration is an exhibition of race prejudice, pure and simple, and the rebuke which Dr. F. M. Bristol of the Metropolitan Methodist Episcopal Church administered to the labor organizations, in his discourse Sunday evening, was mented. Christianity would be more of a force in human affairs, if Christians practiced more of the teachings of Jesus than they do at present. Christianity as lived by the white man is the greatest sham in the world. There is not a single tent of the church which finds application in the every day intercourse of white church members with other persons differing from them in race and color. The church is as bad as the labor organizations. And unless the labor organizations speedily repent they will come to naught. THE BEE COMPLAINS. (From the Seattle Republican,) THE BEE, published in Washington, D. C., bitterly complains of the drawing of the color line in the schools in the district. Such is to be regretted, but so long as the BEE assails men of its own race who are doing all in their power to educate the boys and girls of their race in a manner that will make them the most useful citizens, as it did in the same issue that it made its complaint, what more can it expect than for the whites to treat the entire race just as the editor is endeavoring to treat one of them, who is pronounced the living erucator without regard to race, color or nationality in the world. The BEE doesn't assail men in its own race who are doing well. The great trouble with the negro is that he doesn't know the difference between abuse and criticism. The Bee has never at any time made a personal attack on the party referred to, but will that party say that he has never made a personal attack on the Editor of The Bee? Again, the negro must understand that he is to be criticised and condemned as well as the white man, when he does a wrong. Must a negro be defended if he is in the wrong simply because he is a negro? You all clamor for equal rights, justice and recognition, and after they are obtained, some individual will declare, O! he was a colored man. It would not be so bad if another colored man was appointed in his place. Notwithstanding what a notorious scoundrel the individual may be, or how many families he had ruined or whether he was a gambler or kept a fence, he must be defended because he is a colored man. Does the Editor of the Seattle Republican believe in such doctrine? The Editor recognizes in the individual referred to great merit. As an educator his equal cannot be found. As a politician he is a failure and easily led. The policy of the individual referred to is not to commend rascals. The negro can learn how to do and act as other men, he can expect the same treatment. He can't expect any more than other people. That is his great trouble to-day. He expects the white man to give him a suckling bottle continually. THE JUDGESHIP If there ever was a man who would give satisfaction as Judge of the Police Court it is the present acting Judge, Lewis I. O'Neal. Judge O'Neal has good, common sense, which is greatly needed in that Court. He is no tyrant, and neither is he vindictive. It is hoped that President Roosevelt will appoint him. He is popular among all classes of people and it is quite evident that his appointment would meet with universal approval. Two-thirds of the prisoners in that Court are colored people and a man is needed in that branch who has some common sense. That man is Judge O'Neal. The colored people have no candidate themselves because it would be useless to recommend one of their number, but they. By nature and training, she belongs, intellectually, in the foremost rank of the educators of our youth. She inspires her pupils with faith and confidence in their own untried powers and demonstrates that they possess capabilities common to all children. During her principalship, extending from January 1, 1902 to the present time, she has sent out from this school, boys and girls who have entered the first colleges and universities of the land and have ranked with those from other schools of good repute: Two to Harvard, one to Yale, one to Brown, one to the University of Pennsylvania, one to the Western University of Pennsylvania, one to Cornell, one to Western Reserve, two to Oberlin, one to Rutgers, two to Amherst, two to Williams, one to Smith, nine to Howard, one to Lincoln, a total of twenty-eight. She has sought and obtained seventeen scholarships from higher seats of learning, thus presenting opportunities to worthy boys and girls who, otherwise, could not have secured a broader culture. These young men and women with evolved, enlightened minds and hearts will enrich and honor the world by better and higher service. Our experience as principals assures us that with a loyal, harmonious corps, imbued with lofty ideals for the development and uplift of our race, the most favorable conditions will be established and maintained in this school. Without this co-operation, no principal's administration can be a success. We have confidence in the equity of the Board of Education and feel that in the solution of this difficulty, the best interests of the community will be safeguarded. Therefore, in view of these facts: Resolved, That the Principals' Association respectfully request the retention of Mrs. A. J. Cooper as principal of the M street high school. THE 24th SESSION OF DISTRICT GRAND LODGE NO. 20, G. U. O. Q. O.F. (Continued from last week.) Wednesday evening, Sept. 13, 1905. The D. L. G. met Pursuant to adjournment with the G. D. Master presiding. After the ceremonies incident to opening the G. L., secretary called the roll of grand officers and delegates and a quorum being present, the G. M. called for the reports of the several committees, whereupon Past D. G. Master, W. C. Martin, chairman, of the committee but the annual reports of the subordinate lodges, read the report of the committee on annual reports, which on motion of J. W. Lee, 892, seconded by C. S. Hill, of 1437, was unanimously adopted. The next report was the accounts of the D. G. secretary and D. G. treasurer, through its chairman, T. E. Hill, 1726. C. H. Harris, 1374, moved its adoption. Motion seconded by T. E. Hill. After much discussion in which C. H. Brown, 2358, the D. G. Master, T. W. West, J. W. Davis, J. W. Muse, 2099, moved the previous question, whereupon the main question was put and the report was adopted as amended. The committee on appeals through its chairman, Joseph Washington, 4185, made its report. S. D. Wilkins, 1695 moved its adoption, seconded by R. F. Williams, 1477. W. C. Martin, 1365, discussed the legal phase of the question raised in the appeal. The chair put the motion and the report was unanimously adopted. The special committee to whom was referred the report of the-allegate to the Hall Association, made its chairman, Past D. G. Master J. W. Muse, on motion of J. W. Lee, seconded by C. S. Hill, the report was-adopted. R. C. Brooks, chairman of the committee on insurance, submitted its report which on motion of C. R. Tucker, 1368, seconded by H. W. Honesty, 891, was adopted. D. G. Director, J. L. Turner, chair- They therefore did not identify themselves with other churches, but after a consultation, twenty-two of the brothers and sisters as follows: John J. Taylor, Henry Frazier, James Semple, Fannie Parker, Jane Brown, Clement Morgan, J. H. Payne, Ed. Brooke, Rosetta Semple, Annie Armstead, Alfred Pendleton, George Armstead, Griffin Saunders, J. M. Wilson, Elizabeth Morgan, Rebecca Payne, Henry D. Peyton, Edward Davis, Lucy Miner, Lucy Davis met on the 23rd of September and decided to call a Council to consider the propriety of setting them apart as an Independent Baptist Church, and on the 27th of September they were set apart with the following Officers: Deacons—Henry Frazier, James H. Payne, Clement Morgan, James Semple, Henry Peyton, Edward Brooke, Alfred Pendleton: Trustees—William J. Walker, Griffin Saunders, Rev. J. Walker, Pastor, Edward Brooke, John T. Taylor, Washington Whitlow, John J. Taylor, Church Clerk, James T. Payne H. Payne, Henry D. Peyton, William Perkins, Supt. Varied have been the changes through which this church has passed during these 42 years, beginning in art upper room 14x16 on 26th and K Streets. This soon grew to be too small and they bought a little frame on the north side of L Street between 16th and 17th Streets. This became too small for the growing Shiloh. They purchased the present site in 1868 and erected a larger frame. In 1883 a beautiful brick building took the place of this frame. After the death of the Rev. W. J. Walker, in 1889, Rev. J. A. Taylor, its present pastor, was called to take pastoral charge in 1890. In 1892 this edifice became too small for its growing congregation, so it was enlarged at a cost of $10,000. "In the name of our God we will set up our banners."—Psalm xx, 5. The church of God has to wage constant war with the powers of the world and the prince of darkness. The contest has been carried on from the fall to the present hour, and will be extended until Satan shall be bruised under the feet of God's people; Rom. xvi, 20. The psalmist knew experimentally the nature of the conflict, and was encouraged by the prayers and resolutions of the church as contained in this psalm. Our text contains 7.1 Reference to the Church's Banner. A banner is a flag or standard, generally bearing some inscription, often the name or arms of the country to which it belongs. The Christian's banner is the gospel of truth; it bears on it the form of a cross, and the inscription is "Into him that loved us" etc; Rev. 15. Let us notice the propriety of the figure employed, this will appear when we notice. 1. That the banner is unfurled at the proclamation of war. The spirit, maxims, and statements of the gospel are all at war with the corruptions of human nature—the fashions of the world—and the empire of Satan; 2 Cor. x, 4. 2. The banner is also elevated as a token of peace. The white banner of truce is a sign for the cessation of hostilities. We are called to wage war with sin, but to be reconciled and be at peace with God. The gospel is a message of peace. "How beautiful the feet of them that bring good tidings," &c; Issei iv, 7. 3. The banner is hoisted as the centre of attraction. The rallying point for the scattered troops. The gospel is the only appointed medium of uniting the church; God never intended that they should be united by human creeds, or systems, or distinctions, but by and in the truth; all one by faith in Christ fidelity. 4. Banners were elevated for direction. Gospel is not only the record of life, and the message of salvation, but the Christian's guide and directory to heaven. 5. Banners are waved as signals of triumph. When the conquerof telürned, the citizens hailed him; garlands were formed, and streaming banners waved; and thus he passed through the triumphal arches of his native city. The Christian is a conqueror, and he conquers by the power of the truth. "More than conquerors," &c; Isai. xxxv, 13 II..The Church's Resolution. "In the name of our God we will set up our banners." These banners have been variously dealt with; opposed by foes; neglected by slumbering friends; and have been made to bear false inscriptions by false teachers, &c.The true church feels the importance of setting them up. In doing this, 1. Suitable elevations must be chosen. Houses must be erected where God can be worshipped, and his truth proclaimed. Psalm xxxii, 5. 2. Banner-bearers must be supported. Men who shall lift up their voice as a trumpet, and run to and fro to preach the gospel of salvation—their wants must be met-hands hold (2) Because it is associated with purest feelings of philanthropy. Glory to God, peace on earth, and good will to men, the only message of salvation to a perishing world. (3) Because our profession, and our affection to Christ and immortal souls, should constrain us to count all things as dross for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus our Lord, and that all men might know him, be blessed in him and called-him blessed. APPLICATION. 1. Let the soldiers of the cross be strong and acquit themselves like men; rejoice in the goodness of their cause, skill and power of their Captain and the final success of their enterprise. HIS PATENT CURES MEDICINES ARE PUT ON SAME PASIS AS LIQUOR. Internal Revenue Department Declares Manufacturers Must Pay Rectifier's License—Druggists to Pay a Saloon Tax. Washington.—Manufacturers of patent medicines which contain distilled liquors have been put upon the same plane as rectifiers and liquor dealers. Druggists who handle these patent medicines are put in the saloonkeepers' category, and as such must take out the regular liquor dealers' license. The commissioner of internal revenue has given a declension here which brought about this new status of the patent medicine maker and seller. By doing so he 'reversed the decision of his department made many years ago. The new ruling will not become operative until December 1. This is done to prevent an injustice. The commissioner, in a letter of instruction to collectors of internal revenue, says that there are many compounds on the market going under the names of medicines that are composed chiefly of distilled spirits, without the addition of drugs or medicines in sufficient quantities to change materially the character of the whisky. He authorizes collectors to impose the special tax upon manufacturers of every compound composed of distilled spirits, even though drugs are declared to have been added thereto, "when their presence is not discoverable by chemical analysis; or it is found that the quantity of drugs in the preparation is so small as to have no appreciable effect on the liquor." "The same ruling." declares the commissoner, "applies to every alcoholic compound labeled as a remedy for diseases and containing. In addition to distilled spirits, only substances or ingredients which, however large their quantity, are not of a character to impart any medicinal quality to the compound." Collectors are instructed to send out notices to all druggists and merchants dealing in proprietary medicines, that after December I they will be required to pay the special tax as liquor dealers. While no statement is made by the commissioner as to the medicines that will be affected, it is believed that the decision reaches several prominent and highly advertised medicines. In all instances these medicines have been found to contain as high as 45 per cent. of alcohol, and there are many on the market, it is said, that contain 25 per cent. of alcohol. These medicines are said to have immense sales in prohibition communities, figures collected in Massachusetts recently showing that one such advertised compound with a high percentage of whiskey had been bought to the extent of 300,000 bottles in one year in prohibition communities of one New England state. resident's.Daughter Leaps in Water When Congressman Longworth Falls to Take Dare. Honolulu—The transport Sheridan brings a story of how Alice Roosevelt fully dressed, dived into a canvair bathing tank while on the steamship Manchuria one morning on her way from Nagasaki. She was wearing a white silk waist, and a silk skirt, and was carrying a silk parasol. "Congressman Longworth," she remarked, "if you will take a plunges uressed as you are, I will follow you." "Well, if you don't dare, I said," Miss Roosevelt, and before a dozer members of the Taft party could protest, Miss Roosevelt had tossed her parasol aside, and dressed as she was, leaped into the tank. "Don't you take a dare?" she shouted to Longworth as she arose to the surface, and started to swim as gracefully as her bedraggled clothing would allow. This bantering was too much for the Circinnati man, and he plunged into the tank to help Miss Roosevelt to steps, where they both climbed up and out of the water. The A delightful gathering was held at the Whist Club last Tuesday evening. Mrs. Carrie Brooks, who went to New York City last week, has returned. Miss E. A. Chase, who has been quite sick at her home, is steadily improving. Mr. Thomas Jones, brother of Mr. J. S. Jones, is in the city, the guest of his brother, 498 A street, southwest. It is reported that Mrs. Amanda Young of our city is sick at Hampton, Va. at the home of Mrs. Dennis, her sister-in-law. Miss Bertha Greenwood of Baltimore gave an elaborate reception in honor of Mr. Edward Weyms, of our city, says the Baltimore Lancet. "A Perilous Game," is the title of a new story by Bertha M. Clay, which is just started in Street and Smith's New York Weekly. Mrs. W. E. B. DuBois, of Atlanta, Ga., is in the city, the guest of Rev. Dr. and Mrs. F. J. Grimpe, of 1415 Corcoran street, N. W. Mrs. Kelly and Miss Anderson of Washington spent a greater portion of the summer at Harrisonburg, Va., the guest of Dr. and Mrs. Wilson. Mr. Wm. P. Mittenell spent a very pleasant time in New York with his daughter, Mrs. Daisy Brymn. Mrs. Brymn will pay her father and mother a visit very shortly. Mr. G. A. Thomas, a compositor on the Dallas, Texas Express, has entered the law department of Howard University. The Express speaks in highest terms of Mr. Thomas. Miss Florence Dungee, of Baltimore, Md., who graduated from the College department of Howard University a few years ago, was married quite lately to Rev. Julius S. Carroll, at Madison St. Presbyterian Church by Rev. Eccleston, assisted by Revs N. M. Carroll and W. S. Peck. Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Gordon, of Darlington, N. C., have issued invitations to the marriage of their daughter, Miss Beulah A. to Mr. Edward H. Deas, which is to take place in St. James M. E. Church, Tuesday afternoon, October third, at four o'clock. Mr. and Mrs. Deas will be at home after October 17th, Darlington, N. C. Mrs. Jennie B. Thompson and daughter, Miss Amy, who have been the guests of Mr. and Mrs. George H. Lee, of 1205 T street, Northwest, have returned to Baltimore, Mr. The report is that Miss Amy will soon be united in the holy bonds of wedlock. She has been highly entertained since her stay in the city. GARFIELD NOTES. The Citizen' Association of Garfield, D. C., held its regular monthly meeting Monday evening, Mr. A. W. Carroll, presiding. The reports of the committees showed great progress in work done. The committee on law and order reported a slight improvement in the patrolling of Garfield by the police officers, but the service is far from being what it should be and it will not be until a turn-in box is located at the intersection of Ainger and Bruce Avenues. The committee recommended that the proper authorities be called to the need of a box at that place. The committee on streets and lights reported the bad condition of Ainger Avenue between the Hamilton, road and, Bruce avenue. In winter this avenue is almost impassable, the mud being ankle deep. The committee on public schools reported that Mr. F. L. Cardozo, the supervising principal of the 13th division would remain in the division. This was very pleasing to the association. Mrs. Mattie J. Carroll has returned to her home after making an extended trip to her sister in Mt. Vernon, Ohio, and with friends in Clarkssburg, W. Va., where she taught school for several years. Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Smith had their baby christened on Sunday evening. A few close friends and relatives were present. Rev. R. T. Queen performed the ceremony. Mrs. Lulu Turner and Miss Josephine Carroll, who spent the summer at Harpers Ferry, spent a few days of their vacation with their sister, Mrs. Rosa ```markdown ``` Smith, also their mother, Mrs. Fannie Carroll. Mrs. Lewis, of Garfield Heights, has returned home after spending a few days visiting her mother-in-aw in Virginia. SOCIAL CHAT. What's the matter with Daniel Freeman? He's all right. The Y. M. I. R. A. has lost by death, another member, Wesley Dent, who departed this life at Falls Church last Monday. Next week's issue will give in full, the Y. M. P. L. committee's banquet. Some of Mr. A. T. Lewis' friends think that he should have some recognition in the Y. M. P. L. What shall we give him? The call meeting of the Young Men's Immediate Relief Association was well attended last night. Mr. A. F. Boston, prizes very highly, the picture of his committee. The moonlight committee of the Y. M. P. L did not cease work even after September 8th. The good work of Singleton and Rodgers corroborates this statement. The guns are booming for the candidates for president of the Y. M. P. I Who will it be after the smoke has cleared December 6th? There are so many men capable of sitting in the presidential chair. The league should see one of the prettiest election fights of its existence. In social circles lately the topic has been, "The school scandals." We would suggest that the home and school become more to each other and all scandal will cease. Professor George Williams, of this city, is in Charlestown, endeavoring to establish industrialism in the schools of that town. He is being assisted by his wife. Hyde—Say. Seek, how are things moving at the big primary? Seek—O, everything will come out all right so far as the laboring man is concerned as he has a strong friend at the wheel. It is not always the fellow making the most noise who is doing the work, as has been shown by the marriage of Dr. James Dowling, brother of Mrs. Daniel Freeman. We wish him nothing but success. Rumor has it that the Young Men's Protective League contemplates buying a home of its own in the near future. Best thing heard in years. The young men are not asleep. Miss Lucy Beatrice Shaw, who was compelled to sever her connection with the senior normal class, owing to the ill effects resulting from injuries received in the high school, has recovered sufficiently to enable her to resume her studies. She is now a member of the normal kindergarten training class. Mr. C. F. M. Browne isn't letting anything worry him. He seems to know on which of his bread his butter is. The people of Fayetteville, N. C., gave an educational rally a few weeks ago in the interest of the normal school for colored people. The Governor of the state was the orator of the day. His address was excellent and full of wholesome advice to both colored and white people. At the conclusion of his address Misses Virginia Lucinda and Ada Eller Williams, of Abbenville, S. C., rendered excellent music. The Governor personally congratulated Miss Virginia Lucinda Williams upon her singing "Jesus Lover of my Soul." Rev. E. W. Williams, D.D., Misses Virginia L, Ada E. and Miriam W. Williams, together with Miss Pearl Butler, Miss Willie Stephens and Mr. Thomas Taggart, students of Ferguson-Williams College, after an absence of three months here returned to Abberville. School reopens Oct. 1st. The Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society of the 15th street Presbyterian Church, Rev. F. J. Grinke, D.D., pastor, was addressed Sunday, September, September 24, by Mrs. E. V. C. Williams, principal of Ferguson Williams N. and P. College, Abberville, S. C. The address was eloquent and full of suggestions, which will greatly inspire woman's work in our church. Mrs. Williams, nee Miss Ella V. Chase, familiarly called Miss Jennie Chase, was before her marriage to Rev. E. W. Williams, D.D., one of our most successful teachers in our public schools. She loves her profession and together with her husband have founded an institution at Abberville, S. C., which has proven a light in a dark place and an uplift to the whole people. On Thursday night, September 16th, in the 15th street Presbyterian Church, she made an address in behalf of the work at Abberville. The state superin- tendent of Education of the state of South Carolina has frequently appointed Dr. and Mrs. Williams to take charge of summer schools, in which to instruct the teachers of the state. During the past summer, three months of their vacation have been spent in traveling in the interest of Sunday schools, irrespective of denomination. Mrs. Williams beside visiting and addressing schools, has held Mother's Meetings among the lowly, which proved very helpful to the home-life of our people in many communities. CITY BRIEFS. Mrs. Ella V. Chase Williams, of Abbiville, N. C., delivered a most eloquent address before the Christian Endeavor meeting at the 15th street Presbyterian Church last Sunday. Attorney Thomas L. Jones, spoke at Hamilton, Va., last Friday. The occasion was the emancipation celebration. Register J. W. Lyons spoke in Huntington, West Virginia last week. The occasion was the emancipation celebration. Miss Fredericka Sprague left for Jefferson City, Mo. on Wednesday. Miss Hattie Edmunds, who graduated last year from the city high school, will leave on the 3rd of October for Boston, Mass. Miss Edmunds will take a three year course in physical culture. Drs J. Edward Foster and Arthur E. Smyth, recent graduates of Howard Medical School, are soon to take the state boards of Pennsylvania and New Jersey respectively. The many friends of these brilliant young men wish them great success in their chosen profession. Prominent among the visitors at Prophet Crowley's Sanctuary on Sunday evening were seen Dr. and Mrs. Curtir, Prof. and Mrs. Geo. W. Cook, Attorneys Gregory and Pollard, Mr.J. A. Lankford, Misses Tate, Gibson and Hamilton and Mr. and Mrs. Duffield. It is not known whether these ladies and gentelmen contemplate joining the new church of black Jews, or whether they were visiting to be entertained and study human nature. As cake-walkers and cotortionists some of the followers of the prophet, have no living equals. The wedding was simply gorgeous. The professional schools of Howard University will open on October 2nd. A large attendance of students is expected. Among the late summer visitors to our city-are Miss Florence Wilson, of Florence, S. C. Miss Wilson is known to be one of the most accomplished young ladies of the South. She is a teacher in Claflin University and the daughter of Dr. J. E. Wilson, postmaster at Florence.

The subject of the paper was, "Artistic Gifts of the Negro." Mr. John T. C. Newsom presided in the absence of the newly elected president, ex-Senator John P. Green, and Mr. J. W. Pope acted as secretary. Vocal and instrumental music were a few of the interesting features of the occasion. Mr. Newsom, introducing Prof. Miller, said: "Someone has said that there in no gathering of negroes in a literary or other public capacity possible without a discussion of the negro in some form or other. This part is true, but not because the negro is more vainglorious than other folks, but it is rendered necessary, because of a constant and persistent effort on the part of some to gainsay or deride the negro and prove that he is innately inferior to his white brother. It was the occasion of one of these unholy attempts on the part of Mr. Thomas Dixon, Jr., that brought forth the now famous letter of Professor Kelly Miller to that gentleman, which so nearly resulted in his dumbfounding, if not his utter annihilation! We have often had the doings of the negro in science and literature exploited from this platform, but today Professor Kelly Miller will discuss before our society "The Artistic Gift of the Negro." I do not know what direction the professor's remarks will take, but, as Sir John Herschel defines art as "application of knowledge to a practical end," it is presumed that it will include the achievements of the negro in every branch of art, in which his mind has shown activity, whether in the useful or mechanical arts, the fine HOUSE & HERRMAN HE LARGEST INSTALLMENT HOUSE IN the CITY Now is the time to FURNISH YOUR HOUSE Carpet Your Floors and LIVE Comfortably. Only First-Class stores keep first class goods and sold by first class cler how large your Purchases are immediate delivery is made to any part of the city or the liberal arts, but on account of the broad learning of Professor Miller, he knew no one more competent to discuss the subject in all its bearings than he." In a dignified and unassuming manner, Professor Miller advanced and spoke for thirty-five minutes. He discussed the negro's ability in music and the power he exercises over those who hear him. He cited instances of the negro's melodious sounds and the wonderful influence they have in all countries and upon all nationalities. He was loudly applauded at the conclusion of his paper. Lieut. R. E. S. Toomy was introduced and read the following paper, which created the wildest enthusiasm. The manner in which he read and the significance of its expression created great laughter: UNCLE REST ON "THE IDLERS." What's deze foks in de mawnin' light, Gwine to, wif pick an' spade; Wif ha'r all kinky, face like night; Look dad, at all dem colored men, A-working in de street, Does dey lay all de asphalt; den Sweep up de snow an' sleet?

Dough thirty thousand earn de bread An' thirty cook de food An' thirty-eight's in school 'tis sed, Wild fish in 'n good. Kase why? Dey's all Idlers! At the conclusion of the reading of this poem, Mr. W. Calvin Chase was introduced and commended the paper read by Prof. Miller and his manly reply to Mr. Thomas Watson, Jr. Mr. Chase concluded his remarks by making a motion for the appointment of a committee of five to arrange for a public testimonial under the auspices of the Second Baptist Lyceum. The motion was unanimously adopted. The president appointed the following committee: W. Calvin Chase, chairman; Lieut. R. E. S. Toomy, Charles E, Laney, J. W. Pope and Col. W. Murrell. The paper was also discussed by Messrs. Charles E. Lane, Col. William Murrell, Shelby J. Davidson, J. W. Pope and others. The following resolution was offered by J. W. Pope and adopted: Whereas, in the Evening Post of Saturday, August 19th, there appeared from the pen of Mr. Thomas Dixon, Jr., a most scathing and defamatory article, reflection upon the worth of the negro, and Whereas, this and other utterances of Mr. Dixon, directed against the negro which were calculated to do him so much harm, have been so thoroughly and effectually answered in a pamphlet entitled: "As to the Leopard's Spots," the same being an open letter by our fellow townsman, Prof. Kelly Miller, of Howard University. Resolved, That the thanks of this Lyceum be extended to the Professor for his masterly defense and the same be expressed by a rising vote. Would Wed One-Legged Man. Being a cripple, with cork legs, and having to use two canes to get around. Eugene Merrill, of Attica, N.

Up to date he has received 108 replies, and he is perplexed how to make a choice. Goes to Poorhouse He Ruled. John C.

In view of recent developments In a certain metropolitan restaurant there seems to be a timeliness in this, accord- ing to several lawyers about town. ‘The main intent of the law. however, ‘Is not against the humble walter, but against the big grafters. It is to pre- vent dishonest buyers or sellers ter ifirms from belng tampered with by "bribes and led to swindle thelr firms by giving orders to the highest bidder and other like forms of graft. .

Thefe ‘was no diminution In the number of tips offered to waiters and other serv- ants nor In the amount of money given, Of course. it ts too early to tell what the big offenders at whom the law Is aimed ‘will do, but the chances are that just as much money will change hands for spe- cfal favors as ever. .

IS ELECTED TO HIGHEST OFFICE IN THE G. A. R. Sketch of His Career as a Soldier and Politician—Lost Both Legs in Second Battle of Bull Run. Washington. — "Commander-In-Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic" is now the title of that intrepid soldier so long and widely known as "Corporal" Tanner. The selection is a popular one in this city, and will doubtless prove to be the same throughout. be the same throughout the country. The new commander-in-chief is one of the youngest soldiers who has ever been elected to the office. He was but 18 years old when the loss of both his legs at the disastrous battle of Second Bull Run took him out of the civil war. But his keen interest in those who were his associates in that war has never lagged during the 43 years that have elapsed since he ceased soldiering from necessity, and now after almost 40 years of continuous membership in the Grand Army he has risen to the command of a body of survivors who yet form a grand army of nearly a quarter of a million. James Tanner was born in Schoahier county, N. Y., in 1844, and that state and the District of Columbia have been his places of residence throughout his life. His political career has been long and interesting. At the close of the year he became a clerk in the war department, and then went to Albany to serve as a clerk in the New York legislature, where he continued several years. While there he studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1869, when 25 years of age. After practicing for a few years he resumed the political life for which he was exceptionally qualified by his army record, his terrible crippling at Second Manassas, and his oratorical powers, which CORPORAL TANNER. (New Commander-in-Chief of Grand Army of the Republic.) rare from the first, have ripened with years and great experience, until he is considered one of the best speakers of the country. Before his admission to the bar he had done considerable stumping and has taken part in every campaign since 1866, in each national canvass visiting many states of the union. His rewards have been numerous and his services have always been of a high character. He became a clerk in the United States custom house in the administration of Gen. Grant, and after several years' service rose to be deputy collector of customs under Collector Chester A. Arthur, who subsequently became president of the United States. In 1677, at the age of 33, the maimed young veteran became collector of the city of Brooklyn, and served four two-year terms. His administrations ended in 1858. For a few years subsequently he lectured, practiced law and spoke in campaigns. His work in the famous national canvass of 1888, which resulted in the election of Harrison and Morton, was conspicuously successful, and one of the earliest appointments made by Gen. Harrison after his inauguration was that of James Tanner to succeed that other war-shattered veteran, Gen. John C. Black, as commissioner of pensions. It is something of a coincidence that he should also so closely succeed Gen. Black as commander-in-chief of the Grand Army. As commissioner of pensions Corporal Tanner, with his accustomed enthusiasm, went about the business of seeing that all his old comrades were pensioned. His course, however, did not wholly meet with the approval of President Harrison, and in October, 1889, he was succeeded by Gen. Green B. Raum. He then settled in Washington in the practice of law, making pensions a particular feature of his business, and won some notable successes. To his efforts before congress has been given the credit for the passage, first, of the bill raising the pensions of soldiers who lost both legs in battle to $100 per month, and subsequently of one pensioning totally blinded veterans at the same rate. Corporal Tanner is serving as register of wills of the district by President Roosevelt's appointment, and has made an efficient officer. The new commander-in-chief's war service was in the Eighty-seventh New York volunteers. In the Grand Army he has been department commander of New York, 1875-76. twice judge advocate, and five years a member of the national pension committee. He has also been national commander of the Union Veteran Legion. Boston's Name for Tips. Don't say "tips" hereafter, remarks the Boston Transcript. Say "joyful checks." It has a pleasant sound to the ear, while to the conscience and to the instinct of courtesy it is far more gracious. There is no hint of "graft" in the gentle phrase and by no means could it be perverted to read "extortion." There is a blessed atmosphere of give and take, an appreciation of value received about it, whether it is written or spoken. ASTOR BUYS A CASTLE. Former Home of Ill-Fated Queen Anne Boleyn Being Modernized by American Millionaire. London.—Hever castle, in the county of Kent, which Mr. William Waldorf Astor bought for an English home, has proved too historic for comfort. It was the home of Queen Anne Boleyn, and was built in the reign of Henry VI. It has a portcullis and a moat, and is decidedly medieval. Mr. Astor has had a large bungalow mansion erected quite close to the castle. Eight hundred men have been employed on the contract; and he intends to have this most up-to-date country house equipped with the latest scientific appliances for promoting happiness. Archaeologists are agast at the vandalism in interfering with the quiet that broods over Ever castle, but Mr. Astor, while he considers the castle an interesting example of the Tudor period, does not regard it as an ideal residence. However, the Amer- HEVER CASTLE (Historic Ed. fee in England Owned by Wilham Waidorf Astor.) HEVER CASTLE (Historic Edifice in Eng. and Owned by William Waldorf Astor) Ican millionaire is preserving the structure in its original state, and all visitors are welcome. The manor of Hever which has come into Mr. Actor's possession belonged to the Hevers or Hevres at the time of the Norman conquest, and was purchased in Henry VI.'s reign by Sir Geoffrey Boleyn. Years afterward Anne Boleyn, his great-granddaughter, met Henry VIII. in the castle and became his queen. On her death the manor was given by that monarch to Anne of Cleves. There are countless legends handed down about the old pile, and a book could be written of tales that are told of the days when bluet King Hal came a-courting the knight's daughter. To the visitor of imaginative disposition Hever castle strongly appeals. It is in the form of a great quadrangle surrounded by a double mort and surmounted by high-pitched roofs and gables. Entrance is had by a strongly porteurlised gateway. Kent is the garden of England, and the manor of Hever is one of the most charming tracts of land in the co LINCOLN'S MOTHER'S GRAVE Resting Place of Nancy Hanks Near Lincoln City, Ind., in Sad State of Neglect. Boonville, Ind.—A matter occasioning much comment among the people of southern Indiana and the press of the state is the neglect by the state officials of the monument of Nancy Hanks Lincoln, mother of Abraham Lincoln. The monument is located in Lincoln park, near Lincoln City, Spencer county, a few miles east of here. The grave of this historical woman is barren of adornment. There is. NANCY HANKS LINCOLN TOMB OF NANCY HANKS LINCOLN. (Grave of Historica' Woman in Need of (Care) however, a broken jar, a glass dish and a clam shell. Last Memorial day some interested person placed a penny flag beside the grave, and some memory-loving, kind-hearted person contributed a lily. The fence surrounding is weather-worn and rusty, and the ground is barren of grass. The monument, which the state purchased, and which is shown in the foreground, is perched upon a knoll of hard-packed yellow clay. No sod, grass, flowers or vegetation of any kind beautifies the ground near the base of the monument, but is neglected the year round. It stands just as it did when the workmen swung it into its proper position, and no improvements or alterations have been made since. New Star Discovered A new star has been discovered by Mrs. W. P. Fleming, of the Harvard observatory. In the constellation of Acuilia, which at eight p. m. just now is about on the meridian and halfway from the southern horizon to the zenith. The star was not seen on August 10, was as large as 6.3 magnitude on August 18, or just on the verge of visibility to naked eye vision; was 7.5 magnitude on August 21, and on August 26 was of the tenth magnitude, showing a rapid diminution of its light. Hair Statistics. An eminent man of science has recently declared that red-haired people are far less apt to grow bald than those with other colored hair. The average crop on the head of a red-haired person is only 20,200 hairs. Ordinary dark hair is far finer, and over three dark hairs take up the space of one red one; 105,000 are about the average. But fair haired people are still better off; 140,100 to 160,000 are quite a common number of hairs on the scalp of a fair haired man or woman. A PHILIPPINE SEAL OFFICIAL CCAT-OF-ARMS FOR THE ISLANDS. Ordered by Insular Government to Replace Old Spanish Device—Many New Seals Made Necessary Recently. Washington.—Several years ago French E. Chadwick discovered that the great seal of the United States had been heraldically faulty for 100 years, and forthwith the design was corrected by experts and a new die was cut for the state department. This led to a study of the devices used by the other federal departments, and new designs were soon made for the army anu navy, and for the customs service of the treasury. Even the flag of the president had to be altered. The experts who were consulted in these cases about the same time devised a new coat-of-arms for Porto Rico and a new seal, which gave some indication that the island had passed from Spanish sovereignty to that of the United States. In the last few months, however, Porto Rico has abandoned its new seal and coat-of-arms, and returned to its former device, on which the name of the island is spelled "Puerto Rico," and this is now affixed to all official documents to legalize and authenticate them, notwithstanding the fact that in all such documents the name of the island is spelled "Porto Rico," in conformity with the laws of the United States. Almost simultaneously with this action by Porto Rico, the insular government of the Philippines was getting rid of its old Spanish seal and substituting a new device. On July 3, 1905, the Philippine government enacted a statute establish- PHILIPPINE ISLANDS ing a great seal, to be placed on all commissions, official documents and papers, and describing it as follows: "Section 1. There is hereby prescribed and adopted the arms and a great seal of the government of the Philippine islands, of the design hereafter described: Arms: Paleways of 13 pieces, argent and gules; a chief azure; over all the arms of Manila, per less gules and azure, in chief the castle of Spain, or, doors and windows azure, in base a sea-lion, argent langued and armed gules, in dexter paw a sword hilted or. Crest: The American eagle displayed' proper. Beneath, a scroll with the words 'Philippine Islands' inscribed thereon. on. "Sec. 2. The great seal shall be circular in form, with the arms as described in section 1, but without the scroll and the Inscription thereon, and surrounding the whole a double marginal circle within which shall appear the words: 'Government of the Philippine Islands,' 'United States of America,' the two phrases being divided by two small five-pointed stars.' The seal was cut by Tiffany & Co., in New York, and went into use in the Philippines on the 4th of July. Stuffing Cattle for Market Everyone knows that the east cannot compete with the west in beef production. But not every one knows of a new scheme for raising beef that is profitable in the east, or wherever land and feed are high. This new plan might be called "forced feeding," since the animal is marketed at 12 or 14 months, instead of four or five years as was done a generation ago. There is an intimate relation between the length of the feeding period and the gains in weight. Animals in the wild state eat enough to keep themselves and maintain a vigorous bodily condition. They may take on extra fat when food is pleniful to tide themselves over the season of scarcity. Man has interfered with natural processes for the purpose of securing greater production. One of the chief objects kept in mind in animal breeding is to secure breeds which can consume the largest possible quantities of feed and make good and profitable use of it. The Vanishing Home. People who know what a home is are not so many as middle-aged men and women think, and they who never had one will hardly be expected to join in the lament at its gradual disappearance. That it is going out of fashion there is not a doubt. Every new pile of flats, every conversion of a dwelling to a boarding house is elegant of the circumstance. The modern family shifts from one tenement to another loses or damages its goods in the tran sit. is constantly making new acquaintances, but as constantly losin the old, and is without quiet and re-tirement and peace. The older people regret the change; the younger have no standards by which to measure it. PLACED ON RETIRED LIST. Rear Admiral Clark of Spanish-American War Fame Reaches the Age Limit. Washington—Rear Admiral Charles Edgar Clark, who has just retired from active duty because he has reached the age limit when naval of officers are supposed to be no longer in their sphere of usefulness, is a member of the popular trumvirate of the Spanish - American conflict—Dewey, Schley and Clark. Six years after Dewey had begun his cadetship at Annapolis-Clark, who is the son of a bookbinder, followed him. He entered the naval academy the year in which Schley was graduated. The career of the three men ever since has been intertwined. It was as a captain on the Monterey, a coast defense vessel in the REAR ADMIRAL CLARK. (Naval Officer Who Was Retired on Hla Sixty-second Birthday.) Pacific, that Clark first became famous. In 1898, when the captain of the splendid fighting machine, Oregon — the first great modern ship to round Cape Horn—was relieved, owing to poor health, Clark took command. Almost as soon as he had done so, the Maine was blown up in Havana harbor and there were rumors of war Clark was ordered to take his ship to the Atlantic and straightway began his 13,000-mile voyage. The navy department, knowing that Admiral Cervera's fleet had sailed, feared for his safety. The burning question was: Would Clark succeed? But on the night of May 24, 1698, a strange ship, showing no lights, loomed up off Jupiter inlet, Jupiter, Fla. The townpeople were panic-stricken, not expecting to see the Oregon. But it was she. An ensign landed with messages for the secretary of the navy, advising that the voyage begun March 19 had been successful and that Capt. Clark and his 480 officers and men were in condition for immediate active operations. In July, the Oregon's time came. She proceeded to Santiago to join the fleet in the blockade. It was on July 2 that the "bottled-up" Cervera made his daring dash from the harbor. In that great battle, which is history, the Oregon-played well her part and showed her capabilities. She chased the escaping Cristobal Colon with the Brooklyn, which floated Schley's pen-nant, and kept company with the flagship, firing the famous "railroad trains," and being in at the finish when the last of the Spanish ships struck her colors. Clark, who retired on his sixty-second birthday, was promoted to the grade of rear admiral in 1902 and later became a member of the general board of the navy. He is now president of the naval examining and retiring board on duty at Washington. He has seen 45 years of honorable and distinguished service. Clark of the Oregon will be no small figure in the history of the country's naval defenders. BONIWOULD BE PRESIDENT Husband of Anna Gould Has Ambitions as Successor to President Loubet of France. Paris.—The question of who is to succeed President Loubet of France, who has now nearly reached the end of his term, already begins to occupy the mind of the French people. The candidates for presidential honors are many, from Count Boni de 1. COUNT BONI DE CASTELLANE. (Anna Gould's Husband Who Wants to Be President of France.) Castellane, who has been entirely cured of his royalistic tendencies as far as accepting the presidency is concerned, but who, of course, does not have the ghost of a chance, even if the Goulds were to help him with their millions, to the socialistic Emil Jaureus, who very many think would make an ideal president, but who will be strongly opposed by the army, because of his anti-militaristic views. WILL VISIT STATES. LORD ROBERTS, OF ENGLAND, COMING TO AMERICA. Popular British Warrior May Be Guest of President Roosevelt After Inspecting Canadian Military Posts. London.—Gen. Frederick Sleigh Roberts, earl of Kandana, will sall shortly for America, where he will make a tour of inspection of his majesty's fortifications and military establishments in Canada, from Halifax to Vancouver. It is Earl Roberts' intention, when he finishes his tour of duty in the British possessions, to visit the princel pal cities of the United States, including Washington, where, it is believed, he will be the guest of President Roosevelt. The general will be accompanied to America only by a small military staff. Lord Roberts is a soldier of many titles, but he is known best by his rank and file name of "Bobs," given him lovingly by his military following because of his fighting qualities and his solicitude for the comfort of the soldier in the field. American army officers probably will greet Lord Roberts with enthusiasm. He has said many kindly and appreciative things of the American forces, and recently he declared at a banquet given in London that West Point was the greatest military school in the world. Lord Roberts probably has more medals than any other man in the world, soldier or civilian. He doesn't wear them all. He can't, for there is not room for them on his uniform coat. One decoration, however, he never parts with it. It is the bit of bronze known as the Victoria Cross, which is given only for conspicuous personal gallantry under the fire of the enemy. Only one other general of the first rank in England, Sir George White, has won the coveted cross. "Bobs" is the son of a soldier and of a soldier's daughter, and he has been soldiering since boyhood. He served through the siege of Delhi and was wounded at its capture. He was with the column which relieved Lucknow and fought in nearly every important battle of the Indian mutiny. In the year 1880 Lord Roberts led the English forces in that memorable march from Kabul to the relief of Kandahar. When an eardrum was created for Lord Roberts, his march to Kandahar and the fierce battle on his LORD ROBERTS. (Popular British Soldier Who Is Coming to America) arrival were remembered, and he became Earl Roberts of Kandahar. Americans who meet Lord Roberts will find that, like nearly all really great fighters, he is modest to the point of shyness. He has been represented at times as a severe critic and a jealous rival of Lord Wolseley, and as a condemner of the methods and work of Gen. Buller and other officers. As a matter of fact Lord Roberts never has criticised any act of his fellow officers. He has held opinions, but has kept them to himself. Nevertheless it was Gen. Buller's failures in the operations against the Boers that brought Gen. Roberts actively before the present generation as a soldier. He was sent to South Africa as commander in chief of all British forces, and with Lord Kitchener as his chief of staff quickly and successfully ended the war which previously had entailed one disaster after another on England's troops. Lord Roberts physically will not fill the American ideal of a soldier. He is a small man, but with his erect carriage he makes the most of his inches, and he has a natural dignity which is impressive of force. England looks upon Lord Roberts as the greatest of its generals since the days of Wellington. Lord Roberts has been likened time and again to the American soldier, Grant. Their personality is much the same—silence and force predominating. General Grant is considered by Gen Roberts to have been one of the great masters of war. In England there has been a tendency to rank Lee as a soldier above Grant. Lord Roberts is credited with saying: "They were both great soldiers and deserving of the highest praise, but Gen. Grant had the genius required for saving the union and he ought not to be placed second to any modern commander." When Gen. Roberts arrives in the United States the secretary of war will detail an army officer to accompany him in his tour of the country as honorary aid. Found Out He—I always say just what I think She—I have often wondered why you were so quiet.—Chicago Record- Herald 2. New York.—Many there are who love the sea and even worship its vagaries, who fish and are content if only memories of nibbles and bites remain when the day is done, who love to sail and are not weaned from this pastime even when the wind fails to serve or they are forced to drift with the tide for hours. A multitude exist who are happiest when they look upon the salt water and feel its soft and cheering influence come to them when zephyr or gale blows across its surface, yet do not en- joy or cannot stand even a day upon the calmest sea. To all these classes that qualnt bit of land lying out of sight of shore, called Block island, appeals most strongly, its shores most varled in character, running from its ideal beaches to its high and deeply furrowed cliffs surmounted by a_lighthouse, its interior rolling and made most picturesque by bowlder-fences rising and dipping with the rounded hills. Many are the evidences of the olden times, big roomy houses constructed largely of stone, wide deep chimneys heralding hospitality and cheer, old knockers, colonial doorways and comfortable quarters for the live stock and poultry. Gardens fenced in by old fish nets which fall in graceful curves between the posts. For modern comfort and luxury a large choice of hotels and summer houses. Of difficult access in the past, Block Island now is within 1½ hours of New York, the new service inaugurated by President Ralph Peters, of the Long Island railroad, gives a fast run by a limited express from one end of Long Island to the other, passing through the beautiful Hamptons, over the famous Shinnecock hills, and with a panorama of never ending interest reaching Montauk 116 miles east, there to take a fast comfortable steamer for an hour's run across to Block Island sound, the land that means all the health and pleasure of an ocean voyage with its discomforts and unpleasant features omitted. IRON TIRES FOR AUTOS. New Wheel Invented Which, It Is Claimed, Will Do Away with Pneumatic Tires. New York.—A new iron wheel and tire for automobiles has been invented which, it is claimed, will in time entirely supplant the pneumatic tires now in use. A test run was recently made from New York to Stamford. Conn., a distance of 40 miles, on an automobile fitted with the wheels, and the four passengers, had they not been aware of the conditions, might have believed themselves to be rolling along on the best acting pneumatic tires. John Chamber Rutherford, a mining engineer of Mexico, is the inventor of the new wheels. The wheel is somewhat cumbersome in appearance, though by no means un- THE PNEUMATIC WHEEL (Invention Made to Supplant Present Pneumatic Tires) sightly. The principle of the pneumatic tube is there, though removed from the dangers of contact with the ground. The diameter of the wheels is 30 inches, and midway between the hub and outer rim are two interior rims, between which rests a three-inch pneumatic tube. The upper rim is suspended from the hub by iron spokes and the lower has similar connection with the inner rim. The construction is of steel and bronze and a three-point suspension gives strength and rigidity, while shocks or joists are absorbed by the pneumatic tube. The weight of the wheels is nearly 100 pounds each, though this, it is expected, will be reduced to about 60 pounds each. The claim is made that not only are these wheels stronger and more durable than pneumatic tired wheels, but that they add speed to the car. = oe EE ft a ‘ oe . 3 oe : Vag OO RE ey ee” RE Z x % A 3 tee .

The survivors ran to the other slde of the fence, where upon the snake erawled between the rails until it caught another bird which it swallowed. The result was that the snake, owing to the bulge made by the first morsel, was unable to move forward and because of the second protuberance was unable to go back. Thus its greed led to Its death.

Twenty-third Street is the most popu- lar terminal-of the great metropolis be- cause of its convenience to the, hotel. theatre and shopping district. In the Tecent ‘remodeling of the terminal build. ing a glass roofed canop} was construct- ed fifty feet wide, under which the cross-town cars of the r4th, 23rd, 28th and 29th Street lines pass, so that pass- engers 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 un- less distinctly marked “Liberty Street,” or otherwise, A complete electric cab service has also been established for the transporta- tion of passengers and baggage at very reasonable rates. : The importance of 23rd Street is most graphically brought to attention in the August number of the Book of the Royal Blue published by the passenger department of the Baltimore & Ohio. under the title “Into the Heart of Getham.” The intereg centers within a mile radins of 23rd street, Fifth ave- nue and Broadway.
