He Tells the Students at Booker T. Washington's Institute that the Negroes' White Neighbors Are His Best Friends—Must War Against Crime. Destiny of the Race in Own Hands. Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Oct. 24—President Roosevelt reached the grounds of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute today after a brief stop in the town of Tuskegee, where he was received by the mayor and other distinguished citizens of Alabama. The President's train was brought directly into the grounds of the institute over its private track. From midnight until this morning, great crowds of country people, white and black, were arriving from all sections surrounding Tuskegee. A motley assortment of vehicles brought hundreds of persons and were allowed to come into the institute grounds, where the President saw the collection, and seemed amused by the sight. The President was received by Principal Booker T. Washington and members of the institute board of trustees and faculty. He then entered a carriage made by the students of the school, drawn by horses raised at the school and driven by a student in the school uniform. Four other carriages, also made by the students, in which were seated other members of the President's party, followed. Parade of Students. The party proceeded immediately to an elaborately decorated stand in front of the office building, surmounted by the President's flag. From this point he viewed the educational and industrial parade, upon the preparation of which the students and faculty have been at work for several weeks. This parade was headed by the institute band, led by Bandmaster Elbert B. Williams, of the Ninth United States Cavalry, who had been detailed to Tuskegee by the War Department. Then came 1,500 students of the school in two divisions, the young men uniformed in blue suits, with brass buttons, white gloves, and cadet caps. The young women, wearing blue dresses trimmed with red braid, and blue strawbraid hats, followed, each bearing a stalk of sugar cane topped with a cotton boll, all raised in the school's agricultural experiment station. Immediately behind the student body came sixty-one floats, representing the various phases of work of the academy department and the thirty-seven industrial divisions of the school. After, the parade had passed and the students, faculty, and visitors were repairing to the chapel, the Presidential party was driven hurriedly about the grounds and was shown the extent and scope of work being carried on by the institute. Then to the chapel the party was taken, where the students, led by the institute choir of 150 voices, sang a number of plantation melodies. Principal Booker T. Washington then presented the President in the following words: Booker Washington's Welcome. "This is a great day for the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute; too great to be described by words. We have gathered to hear but one voice; to see but one face. "In presenting our guest to the students, teachers, and citizens, I must not omit to express the gratitude felt by the people of the Tuskegee Institute, by the people of both races in this section of Alabama, for the honor which has been conferred upon them. That the Chief Magistrate of our beloved republic of 80,000,000 people deemed it good and wise to include Tuskegee Institute in his trip through the South and spend a few hours seeing the work we are doing here, brings to the heart of every man and woman of our race in this country a degree of encouragement and inspiration which it is impossible for any American citizen to appreciate. "My friends, without further words of mine, I have the pleasure and honor of presenting to you the President of the United States, Hon. Theodore Roosevelt." Before he began his prepared speech, the President said: Forces of Civilization "Mr. Washington and Each Student and Graduate of Tuskegee: You can't be as much inspired by anything I may say, as I have been inspired by what I have seen here. Mr. Washington, it is a liberal education in itself just to come here and see this great focus of civilization. Now, I had read a good deal of your work, and I believe in it with all my heart. I would not call myself a American if I did not. I was prepared to see what would impress and please me, but I had no idea that I would be so deeply impressed, so deeply pleased as I have been. I did realize the extent of your work. I did not realize how much you were do- I wish I had the time not merely to around to see the buildings and the grounds, but to see the finished product inside. I would like to go around and the houses that are being built up those who leave this institution. I would like to see the effect in actual life the training here, and wish that some with the gift of description would me here and go from here out where the graduates go and visit them in their times and follow out what they are do- and describe it all. I think there would not be anything better than that as to show what is being done, and, Mr. Washington, while I have always stood for this institution, now that I have seen it and realize as I had never realized by the descriptions of it, all it means, I will stand for it more than ever." Beginning his address proper, the President said: Must Be Educated. "To the white population as well as to the black, it is of the utmost importance that the negro be encouraged to make himself a citizen of the highest type of usefulness. It is to the interest of the white people that this policy be conscientiously pursued, and to the interest of the colored people that they clearly realize that they have opportunities for economic development here in the South not now offered elsewhere. Within the last twenty years the industrial operations of the South have increased so tremendously that there is a scarcity of labor almost everywhere; so that it is the part of wisdom for all who wish the prosperity of the South to help the negro to become in the highest degree useful to himself, and, therefore, to the community in which he lives. "The South has always depended, and now depends, chiefly upon her native population for her work. Therefore, in view of the scarcity not only of common labor, but of skilled labor, it becomes doubly important to train every available man to be of the utmost use, by developing his intelligence, his skill, and his capacity for conscientious effort. Hence, the work of the Tuskegee normal and industrial institute is a matter of the highest practical importance to both the white man and the black man, and well worth the support of both races alike in the South and in the North. "Your 1,500 students are not only being educated in head and heart, but also trained to industrial efficiency, for from the beginning Tuskegee has placed especial emphasis upon the training of men and women in agriculture, mechanics, and household duties. Training in these three fundamental directions does not embrace all that the negro, or any other race, needs, but it does cover in a very large degree the field in which the negro can at present do most for himself and be most helpful to his white neighbors. Every black man who leaves this institute better able to do mechanical or industrial work adds by so much to the wealth of the whole community and benefits all pepple in the community. The professional and mercantile avenues to success are overcrowded; for the present, the best chance of success awaits the intelligent worker at some mechanical trade or on a farm; for this man will almost certainly achieve industrial independence. I am pleased, but not in the least surprised, to learn that many among the men and women trained at Tuskegee find immediate employment as leaders and workers among their own people, and that their services are eagerly sought by white people for various kinds of industrial work, the demand being much greater than the supply. Viewed from any angle, ignorance is the costliest crop that can be raised in any part of this union. Every dollar put into the education of either white man or black man, in head, in hand, and in heart, yields rich dividends to the entire community. Merely from the economic standpoint, it is of the utmost consequence to all our citizens that institutions such as this at Tuskegee, should be a success. But there are other and even higher reasons that entitle it to our support."

What Saw And Heard It is not necessary for the colored man to go any further South than the District of Columbia to find prejudice and discrimination. The colored people must necessarily see the importance of uniting. I have often wondered why the colored lawyers will not organize. You can't get them to unite on anything. There are many tattling lawyers around the Police Court who take pride in going to the Court making derogatory statements against their fellow members of the bar. The attack of Grost on Mr. Campbell Carrington was unfair. Must a man give up his associates because he has been appointed to a judicial position? Mr. Carrington's methods of trying a case before all the judges of the Court are open and honorable. He tries his cases like other lawyers. His arguments are public and not in the private. I have heard him argue his cases and I have seen him conduct cases before jurors. They are not conducted behind closed doors. Why should his motives be misconstrued? Mr. Carrington wins no HARPER WHITLO Mini-ter to WHITLOW REED, Minister to England. more cases in Court than any other lawyer. When he goes before the District Attorney he presents his cases as other lawyers do. He takes his chances in winning as other lawyers. It is unfair and unjust to say that he does any more than other members of the bar. The cause of freedom will be celebrated November 60th under the auspices of the Niagara Movement. It will be the greatest event in the history of the organization. In this city the moving spirits will make the event an occasion that will be long remembered. house for and record judge. The Po W.

Clea and Mrs. English to town hall John J. the Roar I have said time and again that President Roosevelt intends to appoint Mr. Harry Cummings of Baltimore, Md., to a presidential office. I understand that the able politicians will be retired. There are three or four representative colored men to be appointed. Vernon is one, Cummings of Maryland is another, one from New Jersey, Albert Cassey, I understand, will be another, one from Illinois and another from Massachusetts. Notwithstanding what other people say this statement will be verified when Congress convenes or a very few days thereafter. There is no show for district colored men. It is claimed that District men are political nonentities, hence there is no show for them. District Attorney D. W. Baker is running his office like clock work. The appointment of Mr. Harvey Givens is a great acquisition to the District Attorney's office. Mr. Givens is a wide-awake official and a young man who knows his business. Attorney L. M. King has entered the real estate business in deed and in fact. He is one young member of the bar who has been quite successful and who endeavors to conduct a business in an honorable way and upon a high basis.

The members of the Bethel Literary and Historical Association have received rather bad treatment at the hands of Warner T. McGuinn, Esq., of Baltimore. Some time ago Mr. McGuinn accepted the invitation of the association to speak on the subject, "Is Publicity a Cure for the Evils of Trusts," and he agreed to appear last Tuesday evening, October 24. His appearance had been advertised for a month. Monday afternoon Mr. S. J. Davidson, president of the association, received the following telegram: Baltimore, Md., Oct. 23, 1905. Shelby J. Davidson, 1911 13th st., N. W. Washington, D. C. Important cases for Tuesday and Wednesday will prevent me from filling my engagement. Letter follows. Upon receipt of the telegram Mr. Davidson immediately notified Mr. L. M. Hershaw, the lecturer of the association, to be prepared to speak in place of Mr. McGuinn. Meantime Mr. M. Grant Lucas, corresponding secretary, had written Mr. McGuinn and on Tuesday afternoon received the following telegram: Baltimore, Md., Oct. 24, 1905 M. Grant Lucas, 529 Florida avenue, N. W. Will come. Inform president. W. T. McGuinn. Armed with this telegram President Davidson delayed opening the meeting until half-past eight. Mr. McGuinn did not come, and there will be icicles on the eaves of the White House on the 4th of July the next time he is invited to address Old Bethel. The Colored Press, of the UNITED STATES. L. M. Hershaw in Charities. As has been said, the purely secular papers form the largest class. Many of them are practically worthless, except as they chronicle the social and personal occurrences of a local community and their editors are without educational or other fitness for their task. It is no unusual thing to find a paper whose mechanical appearance is untidy, in whose columns the rules of grammar are constantly violated, and in which the commonest words are incorrectly spelled. In contradistinction to these obscure papers, there are twenty-five or thirty published by negroes in different sections of the country which are really a credit to the profession of journalism. While The Guardian of Boston is only in its fourth year, it circulates in nearly every state of the union. It is the foremost race journal in advocating equal and identical civil and political rights for negroes. Its character may be gathered from its motto: "For every right with all thy might." Its editor, William Monroe Trotter, is a graduate of Harvard University. To thorough scholarship he unites the ardent zeal of the true reformer and each week his columns offer exhaustive, forceful and fearless discussions of questions relating to the rights and liberties of the negroes of the United States. The New York Age holds a place in the very front rank of negro journalism. PROF. L. M. HERSHAW. Its form is irreproachable, its contributed matter is generally good, and its editorials are seldom lacking in spiritedness and interest. Its editor, T. Thomas Fortune, has been called "the dean of negro journalists." The Age is widely read, and is frequently quoted by the daily papers of the country. The Guardian and The Age are mentioned in the same connection because they stand for opposing policies in the life of the negro. One policy is expressed in the motto of The Guardian, and claims for the negro all the natural, civil and political rights which inhere in man as man. It insists upon the enjoyment of these rights now without restrictions and qualifications not applicable to other men. The other policy preaches the postponement or present abdication of civil and political rights for economic and educational development, and emphasizes industrial education. Upon these two policies the negro press is divided into two warring camps. The resulting strife is unfortunate, and is often characterized by great rancor and bitterness. The leading paners of The Guardian's way of thinking are The Conservator, Chicago, Ill.; The Advance, St. Louis, Mo.; The Gazette, Cleveland, Ohio; The Lancet, Baltimore, Md.; The Guide, Baltimore, Md.; The Home News, Alexandria, Va.; and The Bee, Washington, D. C. The leading papers of the type of thought of The Age are The Freeman, Indianapolis, Ind.; The Advocate, Charleston, W. Va.; The Tribune, Philadelphia, Pa.; The Independent, Atlanta, Ga.; The Planet, Richmond, Va.; The Idea, Chicago, Ill., and The Afro-American Ledger, Baltimore, Md. All of these papers are widely read, and are potential instruments in the life of the race and types of its intellectual advance in forty years. WOMAN'S CHRISTIAN TEMPERANCE UNION CONVENTION.

Austin, Tex—A care of dynamite ‘arrived at the railroad station of San Gabriel, state of Durango, Mexico, s Yew days ago. It was found to be in @ damaged condition, and the mining concern to which it had been shipped Fetused to receive it The Interna- tlonal’ railroad ordered its agent at Ban Gabriel to get rid of the explo- ives, and the agent was puzzled over what to do with the shipment. He finally solved the problem, as he thought, by carefully burying ft n © deep hole near the station. It did not take the Mexican inhabl. tants of the town long to discover that the hole contained enough explo- sives to blow the whole place into atoms, and now they shun the spot. All business at the station {s suspend. ed. Shippers refuse to deliver or g0 after freight. The situation {s ‘so acute that the station agent has ap- pealed to the railroad officials for further Instructions as to the disposl- tion he shall make of the dynamite. He can get no one who Is willing to run the risk that would be Incurred in digging it out of the ground, and to explode the 12 or 15 tons of the stuff Is out of the question. ‘The citizens of the town have made & formal protest to the governor of the state of the danger In which thelr property and lives are placed by the proximity of the explosive.

Y.—Much comment bas been caused by the startling state- ment that it would be better if many churches wera burned, made by Rev. Dr, BI. W. Styker. president of Hemil- ton college, in a sermon preached in the First Congregatfonal church in thls clty. “Probably 5.000 churches In this coun- try could be spared if they were djs- posed of in ‘that way.” declared Prest- dent Styker, who was preaching on the subject of “The Modern Interpretation of Providence.” “The tendency has been the diviston of the church.” said he. “In too many places the number of churches erected Js entirely beyond the need of the com- munities, now and for a long time to come. ‘They are living at a poor, dying rate. and {t would be better If many of the churches were burned, the people gath- ered Into one large church. and the sur- plus money used to carry the Gospel into those flelds whére it has not yet been taken.

Man Who Lost Them in Explosion Un- dergoes Remarkable Operation at Columbus, Columbus, 0.—A remarkable surgical operation has been performed at Mount Carmel hospital, a man being given a new set of lower eyelids. An examma- tion made for the first time since the work was done shows that the opera- tion probably jrill prove entirely suc- cessful. 5 Last February W. L. Kerr was caught In a natural gas explosion, {n which he was badly burned about the face ‘and head, and his lower eyellds were destroyed. Some time ago an attempt was made to. replace them, but it was unsuccessful. Recentiy another trial was made. The new Ilds were formed by grafting skin from Kerr's arm. The eyes were sewed shut and bandaged. When the bandages were removed tt was found possible to remgye the stitches from one eye, and those from the other eye were removed later. ¥Far Too Low. ‘A Baltlzore man says the ddeal in- ‘come is $15,000 a year.

Cametery of an Old Race Is Unearthed on Arkansas Biver in Indian ‘Territory—Extends Dix 7 ‘tance of Two Miles. Guthrie, Okla.—A report was made to the ethnological department at Wash- ington recently of the discovery at Web- ders Falls, on the Arkansas river, 10 Indlan, territory, of the largest prebis- toric Durlal ground found thus far on the American continent, Webber's Falls 1s Jocated on the river about 25 miles south and egst of the old army post at Fort Gibson. The burial ground is more than two miles in length and contains the bodies of many thousand people, presumably the remains of Mound Bullders, and for this reason the discovery is considered all the more Im- portant in that t may lead tosomething definite regarding that prebistoric peo- pie. ‘Up until 40 years ago the and on which these remains were found was covered by a heavy growth of timber, some of the trees exceeding five feet in diameter, and also a thick growth of cane, A great part of the timber has beea cut and the land placed under cul- tivation, In digging wells and other excavations human remains have been unearthed many times during the past few years, but causing little comment, as they were supposed to be the re- mains of Indjans. Where the land along the benches near the Arkansas river Dottom has been cultivated the heavy rains have caused washouts in places, bringing human remains to view in localities widely apart. ? A few weeks ago D. A. McCorkle, an educated Indian of the Creek tribe, made discoveries on his farm, and informed the edltor of the Fort Gibson Post re- garding them. This led to an Investiga- tion, which revedled the fact that this burial ground extends for more than two miles along the river, parallel with the river, the graves being in regular order, about four feet apart, corre- sponding with point of the compass, The dead people were buried facing the east, all in the same posture or position. With each was found ap earthen bowl, in every instance belpg held im the bend of the right arm. In most cases the bones and bowls crumble when exposed to the alr for a short time, but some were in a fair state of Preservation. In no instance, save one, was any im- plement of war found, and that was a spearhead about nine inches long, In the grave of a man apparently seven feet tall, while the other figures were below the average height of the Amer- {can people of to-day. A remarkable feature was the thick- ness ofthe skulls, some ,excesding” a half Inch in thickness, with receding foreheads and heavy back heads, According to Prof. Edwards, a promi- nent archaeologist, who visited the ter- ritory to investigate a discovery at Rei- land, other graves in this locality were those of people who died 20.000 years ago. The discovery at Redland was that of an immense battlefield, where Prof. Edwards claimed occurred ‘the greatest battle ever fought on Amer- ‘fan soll. He expressed his belief that the battle took place 20.000 years ago. thousands of men being killed, Redland is about 25 miles lower down the river from the burial ground recently discor- ered at Webber's Falls. Prof. Edwards made a statement at that time that the geological history of the American continent possibly dated back about 200,000,000 years, in which there were 17 periods, during each of which the face of the continent was changed. : COAT IS LATEST FOR DOGS Canine’s Kerchief Sometimes Carried in Purse Attacked to Leash, While Bow Must Match Costume.

Young Cronin sald he had expel rienced little pain while belng treed ed at the hospital. “Only during the time that my arm was bound to my chin did I feel very uncomfortable,” sald he, “and after that I did not mind the treatment, be cause I knew {t would beenfit me. “I do not feel any diferent now than I did before I was bitten. I re turned here recently, and will eater the hospital for another operation.” Aftes Master Cronin reached the hospital on July 6, 1904, an examina- tion revealed the fact that the entire lower Iip and chin had been bitten off, and even the perfosteum of the lower jaw had been stripped in places, Accordingly, a large flap was dis sected from the right upper arm. This flap, which included skin and subco- taneous tissues, was about 12 cent! meters in length. Its under surfacee and the raw surface of the arm from which it was taken were covered with grafts removed from the thighs, and at the end of ten days a flap with skin on both sides had been secured. | LIMITS OUTPUT OF WHEAT.

This formidable beast has received the tqually formidable name Elotherium, “aud its discovery marks a new kird of ungulate hitherto unknown in the tealm of paleontology. The remark- Able specimen on which these studies have beonsconstructed was picked out bf # rocky cliff high up on the walls vf the Bridge Creek In the John Day region fn eastern Oregon. It was found six years ago, but it has taken & Jong period of careful chisel work In the laboratory at Berkeley to re- lease it intact from its rocky matrix, and a still longer time to study it un- Wer the microscope and find In its Stricture the evidences which warrant its being placed in a new species of pig so ridiculously different from the modern porker that its restoration seems like a weird fantasy created in ® nursery book artist's Imagination.

The pig’s skull, which 1s one of the chief trophies of this chase for archal game animals, was found only by accl ident. Only one tooth told the quick ‘eye of Frank C. Calkins, a member ol the party, that a fossil prize awaited his pick and shovel. The rest of bi ‘party were summoned, and the task of dragging the monster from his grave was begun under the most dis couraging conditions. The cliff was so steep that footholds had to be chopped {nto its sides, while arduous excavations had to be made above the specimen in order to prevent masses of rock from tumbling down on the heads of the geologists, endangering their lives, besldes the safety of the fossil itself, After two weeks of steady digging the head of the formid- able beast was taken out, along with scattered bones and bone fragments, which assisted in the restoration of the whole animal. Among these specl- mens wera several cervical vertebrae and portions of the fore and hind limbs. ; All the bones of this great skeleton that have been found prove beyond a doubt that the original animal must have been a prodigious beast, ten feet long and six or seven feet high, wit a head fully two and a half feet long.

On copy per year.....$2.00 Six months.....1.00 Three Months.....60 Subscribe monthly.....20 TRUST THE SOUTH. President Roosevelt is making a triumphal tour of the South. He is greeted by the hands that have been against him. It was about one year ago when the entire South declared against him. It was a few months ago when a member of Congress wanted the sage of Tuskegee and himself blown up. What does all of this mean? He tells the negroes of Tuskegee that the Southern white man is their friend. Can the negro be made to believe such sophistry in the light of present circumstances and conditions? The South certainly demonstrated its friendship for Prof. Washington when a mob fired into his residence some few months ago. The Bee admits that Mr. Washington is doing a good industrial work at his institute, but he has been dangerous to the race as a politician and as an apologist for Southern brutality, all of this mean? He tells the negro race harm politically and because he failed to continue to place the negro in a humiliating position the South declared that he was no longer any good to his people. Perhaps Mr. Washington may yet be of some good to his people. He may redeem himself but it is doubtful. President Roosevelt is echoing the sentiment of Tuskegee. His speech was to some extent patronizing. The Bee well knows that the negro must carve out his own destiny. The white man South is against the negro and he has no better way of showing it than in his supreme effort to disfranchise him and humiliate him by giving him to understand that the negro is inferior to the white man. Does Mr. Roosevelt call this friendship? The South burns the negro at the stake for imaginary offenses and has declared to a great extent that the "negro has no rights which the white man must respect." Will Mr. Roosevelt call this friendship? President Roosevelt may talk to these untamed animals in the South from now until "doom's day" and he would make no change in their disposition or character. The President should first set the example in the government departments under him. The negro is not receiving a square deal. The Bee has pointed out time and again the discrimination in the government departments of the General government. The Bee would like very much to see the President walk in the wash room or hat box of the Bureau of Engraving or the 6th Auditor's office for the Post Office in the Treasury department and then take a look in the "Jim Crow" corner in the Pension Office. The Bee is tired of so much talk and "nothing doing." Let the President act. While the negroes are entitled to official recognition, if they were sufficiently protected in their civil and political rights, they would be gratified. The South is no friend to the negro and the revised constitutions in every Southern State fully demonstrate this declaration. MR HEARST The Democratic party in New York is in a quandary. Mr. Wm. R. Hearst has freely demonstrated his political strength against the Democratic machine in the city of New York and the Republican party. Mr. Hearst has always defended the interest of the laboring man. It looks as if Mr. Hearst will be elected mayor of Greater New York notwithstanding what Tammany may say or do. The Bee has no complaint to make against the Democratic machine of New York. The colored man under Tammany Hall has been treated well, hence the colored vote will be between Mr. Hearst and Tammany Hall. GEORGE W. MURRAY. When we can see the South act fair towards the unfortunate colored man, then we can readily conclude that there is to be a "square deal." The unjustifiable conviction of Hon. Geo. W. Murray is only one of the nefarious acts of Southern demagoguery. It is quite evident from the defense made by the attorney of Mr. Murray, that he has been a victim of foul play. The county is convinced that Mr. Murray is an innocent man. The New York Age publishes a paragraph from Mr. Mershaw's "Charities" article under the caption "Extorted Praise." A more appropriate caption, in view of the impression sought to be conveyed, would have been "Distorted Praise." We have read the two addresses delivered by the President to colored people: the one at Jacksonville, Fla., and the other at Tuskegee, Ala.; and we do not gather any inspiration or comfort from them. After reading them we frankly confess to a feeling of disappointment and mental depression. We withhold further comment until we have had time carefully to study these speeches. PRESS COMMENTS The Washington Bee, with a magnanimity that fairly takes one off his feet, names the terms upon which it is willing to consider a union of effort between the Niagara Movement and the Afro-American Council—insisting upon the Council's support of the reduction of southern representation as a preliminary step toward such union. Extending to the very generous Bee renewed assurances of my distinguished consideration, I beg to say that I have no personal authority to consent to union upon any other condition; but if the General Secretary of the Niagara Movement will be kind enough to come into an official caucus with the Council and other national organizations, on the broad lines laid down by Mrs. Carrie W. Clifford, I feel sure that any proposition offered in the name of the said movement will be given the consideration that it deserves. I may add, to follow the Bee's unique figure of speech, that courtship, to be successful and binding in results, should be conducted in systematic fashion, and the leading questions must be answered by the principals. As a friend of the family, I can safely assume that the Council will listen to reason. Now will the Bee throw its commanding influence toward having the Niagara leader come into conference and go over the issues that stand in the way of a happy matrimonial alliance? From the Kentucky Standard. The Boston Guardian and the Washington Bee, the organs of the disunionists, are not enthusiastic supporters of Mrs. Carrie W. Clifford's plan to form a supreme federation of national negro organizations. An understanding between the forces engaged in racial protection and development would tend to better results and save many dollars that are now wasted, unnecessary conventions and traveling expenses. From the Seattle Republican. "Negroes are against themselves," bemoans a negro editor. Oh, no more so than any other weaker race or class with the exception of the Jews. Let the negro do thnigs that will attract the attention of all people and races and then perhaps the negro himself will be favorably disposed toward the negro. One negro honestly criticising the public acts of another should not be objected to, but one negro of some prominence abusing and villifying another negro of equal prominence should be deplored. The negro opponents of Booker T. Washington do not stop at criticising his public acts and educational motives, but they abuse and villify him in newspapers and periodicals most shamefully, and among those who take the lead in such is the Washington Bee. IT IS TRUE From the Dallas Express. The Bee, Washington, D. C., is responsible for the statement that through the Florida Sentinel a denial is made by Mr. Emmett J. Scott, private secretary of Prof. Booker T. Washington, relative to the report some time ago that a mob had fired into the residence of Mr. Washington with intention of assassinating him. The Bee says the report was based on the contents of a private letter to a relative from a person residing on the ground. Now who is telling the truth, the writer of that private letter or Mr. Scott? The country is on the verge of insanity for the truth of the matter and we think for the good of all it should be sifted. The New York Weekly says: "It is better to be sometimes imposed upon than never to trust. Safety is purchased at too dear a rate when, in order to secure it, we are obliged to be always clad in armor, and to live in perpetual hostility with our fellows." BIBLES, BOOZE AND BOMBS. From The Crisis. China has been receiving the benefits of our glorious civilization for some time past. A few years ago a bunch of Chinese missionaries kicked up a rumpus and the most highly civilized nations sent troops to Peking and looted everything in sight and then made the poor devils of Chinks pay the missionaries about thirteen times the amount of property which they claimed the Chinese had deprived them of. Now the bombthrower is getting in his work. With Bibles, booze, bullets, and bombs, all China needs now is a few rotten insurance companies, a dozen or so of new religions, a few big trusts, one or two crazy reform parties, an imitation of a republican form of government a la Uncle Sam, a trust-elected bluffer like Roosevelt for president, and a reptile press to help the parsons bambooile the workers into believing that they are the most enlightened set of voting mules in the world. After China acquires these blessings it will be high time for US to move OUR capitol at Washington to Peking.

The corner stone of the McKinley monument will be laid Nov. 16 at Canton, Ohio. The Democrats of Maryland in their efforts to win by trying to disfranchise the colored people of the State (which is a flagrant violation of the Constitution), are using all the arts of oratory upon the imagination of the people. For illustration, they picture in vivid language, the awful social condition that will be ushered into Maryland. They tell the working people that there is a definitely formed conspiracy on the part of the Republican party in Maryland to import colored laborers from Virginia, the Carolinas and the District of Columbia to be employed upon the public works. White laborers are told that they will no longer be able to secure employment on the public works. They predict the extinction of the white race in the course of a few years. The colored population will reach the enormous aggregate of 80,000,000. They declared that slavery was the only one uplifting condition that the colored people have known throughout their history, that the race if left to itself would within 20 years drift back to barbarism and resort to cannibalism for their food supply. These remarks were not drawn from the imagination of an illiterate man; they were represented by former Dep. Handy of Delaware. The picture of possible cannibalism was presented with all the embellishments that a perfect command of language could provide. We noticed in last Saturday's Times that the President in an interview with a journalist of North Carolina states that he knows of no case, North or South, where the white people believe in intermingling of the races. The President's attitude on this great problem (the negro problem) pleases the Southerners. (Public offices call for public opinions.) It is much better for the races to intermingle legitimately. We could say a good deal on this subject if we so desired. The negro as a citizen according to the Constitution as amended has a perfect right to mingle with the opposite race if he so desires. As a citizen of this great republic he is entitled to all the rights and benefits of the same. The white people seem to forget that the negro did not come here of his own free will and accord. They have been much benefited by his presence in this country. One thing we deplore, that is members of the craft entering barrooms with their regalia on. The grand bodies should issue regulations governing the same. (When you see smoke there is fire.) We notice our President on his trip South is making friends with the Southerners on the negro race problem. It stands-to reason that he does as there flows a good deal of the Southern blood through his veins, his mother being a native of Georgia. '(Poor negro.) While roaming through different parts of the city we see many peculiar sights of the city we see many peculiar sights. The Alumni of Fisk University in Washington have recently organized.

BEES,ROB A CANDY-MAKER New York Manufacturer Asks Authorities to Protect His Sweets from Neighbor's Swarms. New York.—A candy, manufacturer owning an extensive plant in Barclay street has appealed to the board of health for protection against thousands of honey bees which, he declares, are robbing him of large quantities of sweets. If the health authorities do not act, the candy maker says he will appeal to the police. Since early last spring the compliant asserts that the honey collectors have attacked his employees and customers, and have made his establishment the base of operations for filling with honey 28 hives on the roof of a nearby building. occupied by a firm which deals in beekeeping's supplies. "I am in the unique position of being the only man in New York who is being daily robbed of enough sugar to keep 5,000,000 bees busy making a metropolitan brand of honey," the candy maker said the other night. "Bee experts tell me that a hive as large as those on the Vesey street building contains about 250,000 bees. They are making a good thing out of me. "It has come to be the exception when each day two or three of the girls or men employees in my factory are not stung. The wounds in many cases have been so painful that the victims have had to go home. The bees also invade my retail department on the ground floor, attacking customers and thus injuring my patronage." The Wonderwork of Rain. In parts of Australia, where the average rainfall is not more than ten inches, a square mile of land will support only eight or nine sheep. In Buenos Ayres the same area, with 34 inches of rain, annuaries 2,560 acre CAUGHT FISH IN STOVEPIPE Galesburg, Mich.—Having neither hook nor line and lacking any single article usually regarded as essential to successful fishing, Monroe Ward, of this village, arrived at his home recently with nearly half a bushel of bass. As related by Ward, his experience seems worthy of repetition. A company of campers had been located on the bank of Smith's lake, two miles southwest from Galesburg. Ward's course took him along the border of the lake and in passing a depression in the bank close to the water he was surprised to see within it several bags, one or two of them being alive. This excited his curiosity, and he at once connected the unusual location of the catch with several lengths of stove pipe, still connected and one end of which was under water, while a gentle slope of the whole upward brought the upper opening directly over the depression. Retiring to a convenient distance, Ward watched for developments. He was soon rewarded, as almost immediately the old stovepipe began to spout fish, and continued to do so until nearly half a bushel had thus been trapped. The flow of fish ceased as suddenly as it had begun, and then an explanation was sought, and found in the evident fact that the voracious bass, in search of their morning meal, had pursued the minnows that furnish their food, with such vindictiveness that the minnows, seeking refuge in the lower opening of the stovepipe, had, in their fright, entered with such velocity that their momentum carried them clear of the water and out at the upper opening, to fall into the natural trap on the bank. In this they were imitated by their pursuers, with the result narrated. Just how many bass would have been thus captured is 'conjectural, but it was discovered that a pickerel, weighing 11 pounds, had joined in their pursuit, but its bulk proving too great for the capacity of the pipe, it had become wedged in the latter, thus preventing further ingress. Some idea of the velocity of the pickerel may be formed when it is known that its impact upon entering the stovepipe was sufficient to split it lengthwise for several inches. DISSECTING-ROOM HIS TOMB Funeral of Husband of Carrie Chapman Catt in New York Is Extremely Unique. New York.—In compliance with the will of George William Catt, president of the Atlantic, Gulf & Pacific Railroad company, and a well-known civil engineer, who died in his home in this city, his body, after a funeral service was held over it, was given without restriction to the Bellevue Hospital Medical college, to be used in the interest of science. Mr. Catt's decision was made after many years of consideration, and with the full consent of his wife, Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, the well-known woman suffragist. The funeral procession which wended its way to the medical college was unique. Never before was such a sight witnessed as that of a beautiful coffin, with heavy silver trimmings and covered with pink roses and carnations, being carried into the school. It was taken to the dissecting-room, on the top floor. Mr. Catt's will gives his entire estate, valued at $350,000, to his widow. At her death half is to go to Iowa state college. SULTAN AN AUTO CONVERT Refuses to Buy, But Accepts a Fine Machine as a Gift—Ruler Is Skeptical. Paris.—The latest royal convert to the automobile is the sultan of Turkey, who has hitherto expressed the greatest est horror of the "devil wagons" of any and all kinds. When the khedive of Egypt was here a few weeks ago he bought two superb high horse-power vehicles, the manufacturer having promised to give him one of them free if he induced the sultan to buy the other. The khedive was unable to induce the sultan to buy, but he wired the manufacturer that Abdul Hamid was willing to accept it as a present. The manufacturer wired his consent, considering the incident would furnish first-rate advertising. So both rulers are now provided, but the sultan refused to get into the car until every piece of machinery had been taken apart and explained to him, with the view of proving its solidity. GIRL'S BITE LIKE SERPENT'S Educator Tells of Poison Effects in Saliva and Warns Against Babies Chewing Fingers. Middletown, Conn.-Prof. W. D. lecture that the bite of a girl would often shivers down the backs of the students at Wesleyan when he announced in a lecture that the bite of a girl would of ten bring a quicker and more horrible death than the bite of a serpent. Prof. Miller has made a special study of the bacteria of the mouth. He said that a short time ago he experimented on a girl in Germany and found that an arrow dipped in her saliva would cast its victim into death throes more terrible than one dipped in the venom of the most deadly snake. The professor said there was a lesson in this for dentists. He also declared mothers and fathers should not allow babies to chew their fingers, for fatal results were likely to come from it. How to Get Men to Church. A man would hardly ever object to going to church if there was a chance of betting on something there. A DOCTOR MAKES RULES FOR CHECKING DISEASE. Children Should Not Blow Open Paper Bags, He Declares, or Take Bites of Each Other's Candy—More Hygiene Commandments. London—"There are many sources of disease apparently so self-evident that they receive slight attention from authors in text books," writes Dr. Myer Dutch to the British Medical Journal, and he makes this his epology for directing the wider notice of the profession to a few of the innumerable ways by which infection is intentionally spread. Dr. Dutch calls attention to the following sources of disease: Paper bags—To open them, the practice of blowing against their edges and into them is very common, and nearly all confectioners, fruitlers, grocers and purveyors of food adopt this plan. The possibilities which might ensue if the breath were infected by the germs of a specific disease can be easily imagined. Waste paper—The use of old newspapers, etc. (often bought at rag shops), in poorer districts to wrap food in also deserves attention. Drinking glasses—Even at many high-class schools thirsty boys and girls are inadequately provided with clean drinking utensils, and drink after each other. The remedy is simple; every child might be provided with a glass in a wicker cover to take to school. Eating—The danger to adults, and particularly children, who bite sweetmeats, etc., after each other, is obvious, and should be explained to them. Kissing—This danger has often been referred to, and the practice of children kissing each other at school should be prohibited. Dr. Dutch concludes by expressing the hope that at the commencement of school sessions the heads will give interesting little lectures on health to their charges. PART ON REFUSAL TO KISS Ablon, Mich.—Married and parted within ten minutes was the record made in this city by a young couple from out of town. It was all over a kiss. The groom thought he was entitled to a good smack after the ceremony, but the bride held up her head and refused to let him plant a kiss upon her rosy lips. A quarrel ensued and the newly married pair separated in a huff. The groom poured his troubles into the ears of the chief of police and the bride made her way to the Michigan Central depot and inquired the time of the first train. The chief of police went to the station and intercepted the young lady and tendered her fatherly advice, with the result that she consented to have an interview with her husband. The waiting groom was overjoyed and hastened to meet the young lady. He did not again attempt to kiss her in public. The parties were R. J. L. Leonard, of Jackson, and Miss Cora M. Bell, of Chelsea, who were married by the Rev. Dr. F. E. Day, pastor of the First Methodist church. ENOCH ARDEN IN REAL LIFE After Absence of Twenty Years Missing Man Puts in Appearance— Wife Had Remarried. Sheridan, Wyo—Enoch Arden materialized here when James Schruthfield returned after an absence of 20 years, to find his wife married to another man, his children grown up and scattered and his house occupied by strangers. He finally located one of his daughters on a ranch in the Big Horn country and started to see her. Schruthfield was a freighter here years ago, before the coming of the Burlington railroad. He had a wife and four children, together with a nice home. He left on one of his freighting trips and never returned, nor did he write to his people. After waiting for him ten years the wife gave him up as dead and remarried. Several children were born of the marriage, and five years ago she and her new husband left here. Schruthfield's children, in the meantime, grew up, married and scattered. He refuses to tell where he has been for the past 20 years, and after seeing his daughter, he says, will leave again and never return. Has Piano in Every Room Pedro Alvarado, the multi-millionaire of Parral, Mex., who was a laborer working in a mine for 50 cents a day only a few years ago, has made a strike of fabulous richness in his Pallilla mine. It is reported that Alvarado has renewed his offer to President Díaz to pay off the public debt of Mexico. He has just completed a palatial residence near his mine at a cost of several hundred thousand dollars. There is a plano in every room. Several million dollars of his money is said to be kept in a strong iron cage at his home, where it is guarded by an armed force of ten. He has never permitted a mining expert to enter his mine. Two Loud Shrieks If the heirs of Kosciusko really have put forward a claim to the site of Chicago, which they are willing to compromise for about $30,000,000 spot cash Chicago may be expected to shriek louder than freedom did when Kosciusko fell. 5 AT he_| ' WZ ey, 5 i, eee a ao 4 Se oa ‘ Nan aes ] BN gk Sy Nets ss Sat P= S* i, j 7 pol SrA ae PR “Miss J.

He defined the sub- ject of the paper that Mr. McGuinn was booked to discuss, to the surprise of everybody. Prof. Hershaw was pointed, logical and eloquent. At the conclusion of his address he was enthusiastically applauded. * Mrs. Ella. V. Chase Williams of Ab- beville, S.

PAPER FROM FURZE. _ From the Scientific American, | But little paper has been recently made from ‘rags; vegetable substances, such as wood, alfalfa, and straw, ae espec: ially employed. But the use of furze wild or cultivated, has not been thought of until recently, An investor, says Le Papier, has ascertained that the furze, suitably treated, produces a very white and solid pulp by the following treat- ment: .1,000 kilograms of the green plant, cut up as fine as possible, are mixed with caustic soda lye of 30 deg. B. and carried to a temperature of 170 deg. C. in an autoclave, under a pressure of 6 kilograms.

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. Washington.—Every gun in the navy will have its duplicate to guard against any emergency and accident, if the recommendation of the naval chief of ordinance is carried out. The naval general board, it is believed, thoroughly approves of it, and consequently the naval estimates to go before the next congress may contain a formidable item to cover the cost of producing the new guns. Such accidents as have happened in recent years, particularly to the big turret guns of the battleships, would compel the ship to go into action in disabled condition or be laid up for months in a navy yard. The idea is to keep spare guns in stock at convenient points to immediately replace the damaged ones. Growth of Things Out West. A correspondent of the Checotah (I. T.) Times, and for whose veracity that paper vouches, tells the following: "The terrible news comes from the western part of the Cherokee Nation that a boy climbed a cornstalk to see how the corn was getting along, and now the corn is growing up faster than the boy can climb down. The boy is clear out of sight. Three men have undertaken to cut the stalk down with axes and save the boy from starvation, but it grows so fast that they can't hack twice in the same place. The boy is living on nothing but raw corn and already has thrown down over four bushels of cobs." Decorated Chef King Edward's chef, M. Menager, was among those to receive birthday honor on the occasion of his majesty's recent birthday. He is believed to be among the most accomplished chefs in the world. He was decorated with the Victorian medal. Other recipients of that distinction are understood to feel that in conferring the medal on a cook King Edward has rather cheapened the honor.

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

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

Southern Negro Encounters Man Wh Owned Him More Than Forty Years Ago. Springfield, Neb.—Harry Edmund son, 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 bees 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 Kanzas 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 Porto Rico 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 campaign 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 rendered 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. 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 examine 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 de la to make the 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 ills of which she is accused. RARE CONTINENTAL BILLS. Washington Newspaper Writer Owns Collection Dating Back to 1785—Received from New England. Washington.—Col. Ezra Nat. Hill, a newspaper writer of this city, has come into possession of some rare and valuable pieces of continental money which he has been exhibiting to his acquaintances. One of the notes was issued by the city of Alany, N. Y., March 26, 1791, and the legend "Three Pence" is printed across its face in old style type. Another note of similar value was issued by the city of Philadelphia in 1797, while a qient bill on age-yellowed paper was issued by "the state of Massachusetts Bay" in 1785, and calls for "one Spanish milled dollar." Another note, issued by the same state, calls for "two Spanish milled dollars," and still another demands seven of the dollars of the dona. Col. Hill says this queer and interesting continental money was sent to him by a friend in New England. The Table Fish. Nwordfish as an article of diet is sold to far excel salmon. LT I I I I I H L ROAD.

Allentown.-Squire George Applegate, said to be the wealthiest man in Bethlehem, 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."

MARSHAL W. 20TH ST. NEW YORK Dynamite Gunboat Has Been Refitted 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 fitted are her hull and engines, and these have been thoroughly overhauled and are, entirely new in many parts. The work of rebuilding and refitting has been in progress about a year. The ship, a "white elephant" of the navy, will at last be of some practical service, it is now said. She has been tied up at the Charlestown navy yard since her return from the campaign in Cuba. The navy department has been considering what could be done with the craft to make her of some service, and probably a hundred plans for converting her were considered before the torpedo instruction ship idea was decided upon.

The members propose to erect an automobile clubhouse along the road which skirts the battlefield, and to maintain drives, boulevards and the creations of a modern landscape gardener. The battlefield lies on both sides of the Maumee river at a point about ```markdown ``` FAMOUS BATTLEGROUNDS. (Where Fights of Fallen Timbers and Turkey Foot Rock Occurred.) five miles south of Maumee City. It was the scene of an engagement August 20, 1794, in which Gen. Anthony Wayne crushed the combined hostile Indian tribes of the northwest, the Wyandots alone losing 11 chiefs. The place is made still more memorable by the presence of Turkey Foot rock, a large limestone bowler on which stood old Chief Turkey Foot as he rallied his defeated warriors around him for the last stand against Wayne's men at Fallen Timbers. As the sun went down through the smoke of battle that day Chief Turkey Foot fell dead upon the rock, shot through the heart. After the battle the Indians buried the chief under the rock, carved turkey's feet upon it and placed much tobacco and many pipes around it. The new automobile syndicate proposes to mount this stone on a pedaled in front of a $50,000 clubhouse. SUCCUMBS TO CUPID. Miss Rosemary Sartoris, Granddaughter of Gen. Grant, Reported Engaged to St. Louis Man. St. Louis.—Miss Rosemary Sartoris, whose engagement to James N. Nelson, Jr., of this city, is reported, is the youngest daughter of Mrs. Neille Grant Sartoris and granddaughter of the late Gen. Ulysses S. Grant. She is described as an attractive girl, with a bright face and a charming personality, and much resembles her mother. She has expressive brown eyes, but her features are fair rather than dark in coloring. She is of medium height, possesses a graceful figure, and A. MISS ROSEMARY SARTORIS. (Reported Engaged to James N. Nelson, or St Louis) speaks several languages fluently. About two years ago Miss Sartoris was reported to be engaged to Lieut. John Wright, U. S. A., son of the late Gen. Marcus Wright, a confederate veteran. The announcement from the east of the engagement did not occasion much surprise here, as the betrothal of the young couple had been frequently circulated shortly after Mrs. Sartoris took up her residence in St. Louis during the world's fair, and was as frequently denied. Young Mr. Nelson is a Yale man, is about 20 years old, and is the son of Lewis C. Nelson, a multimillionaire capitalist. Former Gov. Lon V. Stephens is an uncle of the prospective groom. James N. Nelson, Jr., is named after his grandfather, and this is the reason the junior is attached to his name. He is associated with his father in business. It is expected that the wedding will take place this fall. The luxuriant efflorescence of electricity is not without its thorn in a new disease that has appeared among workers in electrical power houses. These houses are located at Nlagara Falls, and have betrayed 19 cases. It seems that with people whose employment brings them into the immediate presence of high voltage alternating current generating or transforming machines there uniformly results a grave disturbance of the digestive organs, loss of appetite, distress after eating, and whitening of the complexion almost to the color of chalk. The cause is attributed to the chemical influences of either electric rays or some ray as yet unknown. THE CARNEGIE CREST UNIQUE FAMILY COAT-OF-ARMS DEVISED BY MILLIONAIRE His Mumble Origin, His Struggles, His Alms and His Pride Arp Pictured in the Ironmaster's Escutcheon. New York.—In addition to many other belongings, Mr. Andrew Carnegie is the possessor of a coat-of-arms. It was not, to be sure, granted to an ancestor for prowess on the field of battle nor for any deed of valor. It has a much more interesting history. Anyone-almost anyone—has a coat-of-arms which has been handed down to him like any other heirloom. Mr. Carnegie had none such, but, like the man of enterprise and originality that he is, he went to work and devised one, and then he got an artist to paint it high up on the walls of his splendid library, not the library he gives away every other day, but his own, in his fine New York mansion. On the escutcheon there is a weaver's shuttle, because his father. William Carnegie, was a weaver; there is also a shoemaker's knife, because an ancestor not very remote worked at his trade of shoemaker. They say plainly that he has no desire to ignore his humble beginning, and that he wishes to honor the memory of the weaver and the shoemaker, his forbears. He bodists not of Norman blood, and honest hearts are more to him than coronets. Mr. Carnegie has a coronet, or a crown, for a crest, but it is reversed and surmounted by the cap of liberty. The supporters are the American and Scotch flags, and the motto is "Death to Privilege." It makes no difference, of course, seeing that the arms are unique, that according to laws of heraldry, coronets and supporters are only allowed with arms of peers, baronets and Knights of the Garter. DEATH TO PRIVILEGE CARNEGIE COAT-OF-ARMS. (Unique Escutcheon Deviced by the Famous Millionaire) Upon his own particular copies of his own books, "The Gospel of Wealth," for one, the arms are emblazoned in blue and gold. Mr. Carnegie, it may be mentioned, makes liberal use of mottoes. On the walls of his library are seen the familiar lines: "He that dare not reason is a slave; he that cannot is a fool; he that will not is a bigot." "The present moment is our ain, the next we never see," is another legend. On the leather lounge where he takes his afternoon siesta is painted: "Rest awhile," while above, on the wall, we see the rollingick line: "There's a good time coming, boys." Cairn, or carne, a heap of stones—a Drudical heap of stones—is given as the word from which Carnegie is derived. The name also appears as Carney, Carnie, Carnegie and Carnegy The Carnes, of Glamorgan, Wales, take their name from Pen Carne, the birthplace of the first of the family. But this, too, goes back to the original meaning of Carne: The Carnegles have been seated in Fifeshire for centuries. Andrew Carnegle's family came from Dunfermell, borrowing 11 shillings from a friend to aid them to emigrate in 1847. The story is told regarding this loan that recently an American firm, doing business in London, asked its patrons to suggest ideas for the distribution of Andrew Carnegle's wealth. Mr. Henry D. Lennox, of Glasgow, advised that the millireaire repay a loan of 11 shillings made by his aunt to the Carnegles when they needed help. Mr. Lennox computed that, with interest, £9 was due. Mr. Carnegie has investigated and found that the facts of the case have been correctly stated. The debt was not only paid, but Mrs. Lennox's (the aunt) children have been endowed with a sum sufficient to keep them in comfort as long as they live. Mr. Lennox said, regarding the matter: "When the Carnegies left, Dan fermiline they were so poor that they had to borrow money to take them to the United States. My aunt, though a poor woman, helped them out to the extent of 11 shillings, but the promise to return the loan evidently escaped the memory of the beneficiaries, for they never repaid the sum borrowed." It seems that Mr. Carnegie called in person on the children of his benefactor and thanked them for the generosity of their mother. From minus 11 shillings to plus $350,000,000 is a story suggestive of the "Arabian Nights." It is a twicetold tale how the young Scotch boy began life as a bobbin boy at $1.20 a week. He was then 12 years old. At 14 he was messenger in a telegraph office. He was the third operator in the United States to read the Morse signals by sound. At 16 he was an expert telegraph operator; a few years later he was train dispatcher; at 24 railroad superintendent. At 30 he began his career as an frostmaster. He is now "70 years young." DEATH OF MRS. GIBSON. Mrs. Josephine Gibson, one of the oldest residents in this city and a lady well known in this city and West Washington particularly, died in Garfield Hospital last Monday and was buried from her late residence, 1619 Corcoran street, northwest, Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock. She leaves two daughters, Miss Josephine and Miss Anna. Mrs. Gibson's death was a shock to the old citizens of Washington. She was a woman who was loved by all who knew her. THE NIAGARA MOVEMENT. In pursuance of action taken at the Buffalo meeting in July the members of the Niagara Movement in the District of Columbia are making arrangements to observe the Memorial to the Friends of Freedom, of Thursday evening, November 30. The Metropolitan A. M. E. Church has been secured for the meeting. This year the lives and services of William Lloyd Garrison and Albion W. Tourgee will be commemorated. While the meeting is under the auspices of the Niagara Movement, the utmost liberality will be observed in the selection of speakers and other participants. Hon. John F. Cook has consented to preside at the meeting. DAUGHTERS ELKS The committee of ladies of I. B. P. O. of D. of Elks of the World gave a most delightful banquet at the residence of Mrs. Annie E. Guy, 231 4½ street, S.W. last week. The occasion will be a memorable one. The reception room and the dining room were beautifully decorated with some of the prettiest flowers that grow. The center piece consisted of some of the most costly flowers that could be obtained. Cut glasses were in evidence and the repast was most delicious which was a feast for the gods. The committee spared neither pains not expense to please the invited guests. The occasion was in honor of Miss M. L. McDonald, M. D., Daughter Ruler of Forrest Temple No. 9, D. of E. of the District. Attorneys Joseph H. Stewart and P. J. Bacon were highly complimented for their services in drawing up the articles of incorporation. Rev. W. F. Graham, of Richmond, Va., responded to the toast "The Ladies." In his usual eloquent and pleasing manner he won the admiration of all present. Rev. Graham is well known in this city and he is always welcomed wherever he goes. Attorney Bacon also spoke, as did Attorney Stewart. Both gentlemen made appreciative addresses. Mr. B. F. Kerzey of Atlantic City, N. J., Lodge No. 35, was next introduced and congratulated the committee of Forrest Temple and gave it place No. 1, not only for its charitable acts but for its many good works. At the conclusion of his address Dr. M. L. McDonald was introduced and was received with enthusiastic applause. She paid a high tribute to all and highly complimented the work of the organization. She spoke of her travels north, south, east and west and of her life's work. The members of the committee of Forrest Temple No. 9 are Mrs Mary A. Harriston, V. D. ruler; Mrs. Eliza Marshall, R. S.; Mrs. Annie E. Guy, Mrs. Minnie B. Brooks, Miss Martha A. Pate, corresponding secretary; Mrs Cora Brooks, Miss M. L. McDonald, M. D. POE'S EXCLUSION FROM THE "HALL OF FAME." The caution and conservatism of the electors chosen to select the names to be inscribed in the "Hall of Fame" of New York University have caused them to exclude some names the newspapers would see admitted. Five years ago the admission of General Lee's name aroused some warm comment; this year the comment seems to center around the exclusion of Edgar Allan Poe. Five years ago, when the first selection was made, although fifty tablets were ready, only the following twenty-nine names could be agreed upon: George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Daniel Webster, Benjamin Franklin, Ulysses S. Grant, John Marshall, Thomas Jefferson, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry W. Longfellow, Robert Fulton, Washington Irving, Jonathan Edwards, Samuel F. B. Morse, David G. Farragut, Henry Clay, Nathaniel Hawthorne, George Peabody, Robert E. Lee, Peter Cooper, Eli Whitney, John J. Audubon, Horace Mann, Henry Ward Beecher, James Kent, Joseph Story, John Adams, William E. Channing, Gilbert Stuart and Asa Gray. This year, in spite of the many vacancies, only eleven names were chosen. They were: James Russell Lowell, John Greenleaf Whittier, John Quincy Adams, James Madison, John Paul Jones, Alexander Hamilton, William T. Sherman Louis Agassiz, Maria Mitchell, Mary Lyon, and Emma Willard. AMONG THE ODD FELLOWS. Tuesday evening last John F. Cook Lodge resolved to take part in coming celebration of the 25th anniversary of D. G. L. No. 20. This is one of the most progressive lodges in the jurisid- cion and will not take a backward step to satisfy one or two individuals. Give him another good spanking, Bro. Keys, when he fails to state the facts. Mr. W. A. Wells, Sr., of Rising Sun Lodge No. 1365, continues seriously ill. Mr. Edward Scott of the same lodge is also confined to his, bed by reason of illness. They highly appreciate the visits of their many sympathetic friends. Mr. Charles H. Harris, who succeeded Mr. James Lomax as the D. G. L. delegate to the O. H. A., is a most congenial frater and one of the strong members of Peter Ogden Lodge No. 1374. The many friends of Past D. G. Master A. H. Stevens will be pleased to know that he is recovering from his recent severe illness. Hope he will be out soon. The following additional bodies have passed resolutions to take an active part in the coming celebration: John F. Cook Lodge No. 1185, Star of the West Lodge 1369, Western Star Lodge 1380, J. McC. Crummell Lodge 1437, Union Light Lodge 1965, Osceola Lodge 2033, Young Men's Progressive Lodge 4156, Root of David 5414, Excelsior 5441, Queen Deborah H. of R. No. 23, Queen of Sheba H. of R. No. 41, Silver Queen H. of R. No. 740, Queen Rebecca H. of R No. 798, Minerva H. of R. No. 1518, Washington Patriarchs No. 18, P. G. M. Council No. 4, P. G. M. Council No. 44. Past D. G. Master J. W. Muse says that the celebration on the 17th will be a great success if the weather permits, regardless of the few opponents whose objections are based on personal grounds. Right, Brother Muse. Miss Sarah Washington, who for several months has been residing with her aunt in Boston, Mass., returned to the city last Monday. Miss Washington has many friends here who heartily welcome her home. BALTIMORE AND OHIO TERMINAL AT TWENTY-THIRD STREET, NEW YORK CITY. All passenger trains of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad to and from New York City now have direct ferry connection with 23rd Street Terminal, in addition to Liberty Street; the South Ferry Terminal having been discontinued. Twenty-third Street is the most popular terminal of the great metropolis because of its convenience to the hotel theatre and shopping district. In the recent remodeling of the terminal building a glass roofed canopy was constructed fifty feet wide, under which the cross-town-cars of the 14th, 23rd, 28th and 29th Street lines pass, so that passengers are protected from the weather leaving the ferry house, and also avoid the annoyance of street traffic. All baggage destined to New York City will be delivered to 23rd Street' unless distinctly marked "Liberty Street," or otherwise. A complete electric cab service has also been established for the transportation of passengers and baggage at very reasonable rates. The importance of 23rd Street is most graphically brought to attention in the August number of the Book of the Royal Blue published by the passenger department of the Baltimore & Ohio, under the title "Into the Heart of Gotham." The interest centers within a mile radius of, 23rd street, Fifth avenue and Broadway. Full page photographs of unusual detail present a most vivid picture of this most interesting locality.
