Chaney, Congressman, elected from the Second Congressional District of Indiana, is well known in this country as among the greatest men in the world. He is no stranger at the National Capital because he was introduced here under the Harrison administration as a Republican on the Lincoln order. Judge Chaney is a remarkable man and a staunch friend of the old soldier. He knows no man by the color of his skin, or the curl of his hair. He was held in high esteem under the Harrison administration and to this day he is one of the purest and strongest men in the Republican party. Judge Chaney is a remarkable man and in his state he gets the credit of defeating the strongest Democrat and one of the ablest men in the state. As a speaker Judge Chaney is convincing and eloquent, so much so that he overcame a big Democratic vote and elected himself to the House of Representatives. He is almost affable gentleman. Never too great or too big to treat the most humble citizen with the most liberal consideration. He is now at the Ebbit House, one of the oldest and largest hotels in the city. He is popular among the guests and he is never without a host of callers daily. It would not be surprising to see Judge Chaney the Republican standard bearer for governor of Ohio. He is a man who makes no political enemies. The reason of that is he fulfills his promises and he never makes a promise that he cannot carry out. This is the success of all men. Some people have an idea, especially the politicians, that to succeed they must tell an untruth. Judge Chaney is not that kind of man. This distinguished member of Congress has the interest of his constituents at heart, and especially the old pensioner. He believes in the men who fought to uphold the flag and who were loyal to the Republic. Such a man is safe to support and to follow. Below The Bee will tell its readers who Judge Chaney is because he has a history worthy to be followed. He was born in Ohio in 1854. In infancy was brought by his parents to Fort Wayne, Indiana, where he grew to manhood. Was educated in the public schools of Indiana, at Ascension Seminary in Indiana and at Cincinnati University, Cincinnati, Ohio. Conducted the public schools of Farmersburg and Worthington, Indiana, for five years. Studied law and practiced his profession at Sullivan, Indiana, from 1883 to 1889, when he came to Washington as one of the Attorney General's assistants during Harrison's administration, resigning in 1893. He then opened a law office in this city and spent every winter here until three years ago, when he closed up his business and transferred the unfinished work to his associates. In 1892 the Republican party of the Second Indiana Congressional District chose him as its standard bearer, and although the district was Democratic by 3000 majority he came within 500 votes of election. In 1904 he was again nominated and defeated his opponent by 1500 majority. In each of his campaigns he made about 100 speeches and personally called on everybody. Mr. Chaney has been an organizer and campaigner in Republican politics since 1880—member of the committees and on the stump. He was an elector on the Harrison ticket in 1888 and made a campaign which has caused him to be in demand in Indiana ever since, and the National Committee always solicits his services. He is a member of Benjamin B. French Lodge, F. and A. A. M., and Hiram Chapter, Royal Archmasons, having filled the principal chairs in both bodies. He is interested in the city of Washington and the people, both white and black. The friends of Judge Chaney at the Capital are proud of his return as the representative of a great people. FIGHTING JUSTICE TERRELL. Some one has filed charges against Justice Robert H. Terrell, one of the justices of the peace recently nominated by the President on the recommendation of Mr. Booker T. Washington. The charges are said to grow out of the defunct Capital Savings Bank. It is contended that the same charges existed before when Mr. Terrell was nominated, why should they be a bar to his confirmation now? If the recent speech he made in New York is a cause, it is presumed that he can explain that. It is believed that a certain defeated candidate is behind these charges: As a justice of the peace he has given satisfaction and if he has committed no offense in connection with his office there is no reason that he should not be confirmed. The centennial anniversary of the birth of William Lloyd Garrison was observed with appropriate ceremonies throughout the country Sunday. In this city special services were held in many of the colored churches. The life and the works of the great anti-slavery agitator were made the topics of interesting and instructive addresses, and in many instances musical programs of more than usual excellence were presented. The exercises at Lincoln Congregational Temple, corner 11th and R streets, last night were attended by a very large audience. An excellent program was arranged for the occasion, including speeches and readings from the writings and sayings of Garrison. Justice Robert H. Terrell presided and in his opening remarks said in part: Mr. Terrell's Address. "The battle for the freedom of the slave in America was one of the grandest moral movements of any time, and one of the greatest reforms the world has ever known. It has not yet, however, received its proper place in history, nor have its heroes found there an impartial estimate in the critical analysis of their conduct and their methods. "Much has been said, much will be said, of the character and life of William Lloyd Garrison; and yet there are no words rich enough to say all that he was, no human praise too great to emphasize the teachings of his life—whose every period was the 'utterance of a lesson.' His integrity was such that no temptation could corrupt it, his purposes could be shaken by no dangers. In the panoply of divine justice, in the service of truth and right, fettered by no party vassalage, he contended against foes fierce with bitterness, strong in numbers, WM. LLOYD GARRISON. powerful in abilities and intrenched in an apparent impregnable position behind the gold of the slaveholder and the sub-erfuge of his northern sympathizers. "With his devotion to his cause and his martyr spirit of liberty, Garrison himself could never have been a failure, even thought his work had not been crowned with ultimate success. To contemplate such a career as his is to study a life beautifully adorned throughout with all that makes a man great—wisdom, purity, undaunted bravery and practical piety. The character of Garrison shines like a benignant star and will continue to shine the brighter as the years roll on." Judson W. Lyons, register of the Treasury and John C. Dancy, recorder of deeds, delivered addresses extolling the life and career of Mr. Garrison as a journalist, philanthropist and lover of freedom. The salutatory to the "Liberator," Garrison's famous newspaper, was read by Attorney James A. Cobb; Mr. William H. Cowan gave a brief biographical sketch of the man and Miss Susie Quander read selections from his works and speeches. Rev. Sterling N. Brown, pastor of Lincoln Temple, read appropriate passages from the Scriptures and Dr. William A. Rice, secretary of the Congregational Ministrial Relief, closed the meeting with an excellent talk on the anti-slavery workers. The music was rendered by the regular church choir under the leadership of Dr. Franklin. Impressive services were held at the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church, of which Rev. F. J. Grimke is pastor. Special music had been prepared by the choir consisting of a number of anthems and solos. Rev. Mr. Grinke delivered the creation on the life and services of Garrison. After an exhaustive historical resume of the times and conditions in which Garrison lived, Dr. Grimke closed with a few observations on the lessons which his life had taught him. "I am thankful for the teachings of this life," he said. "I would that there were more Garrisons today to redress the wrongs of a people and demand rights withheld. We need a press of our own to cry out against wrong and oppression." The church was decorated for the oc- Continued on Editorial Page. A delegation from Oklahoma and Indian Territory asking Congress to admit them into the union as a single state or on equal terms as other states, is here 150 strong. They are visiting the different Territory Committees and Congressmen urging their claim. Mr. G. W. Dallas of Shawneetown, I. T., who has the distinction of being the only negro on the delegation, called on The Bee and gave considerable information regarding the situation. Mr. Dallas is stopping at No. 1420 Pierce Place, N. W. He is a graduate of Wayland Seminary and went west in 1876. He states that there are thousands of children, white and black, without a school system. He wants statehood that a school system may be established. For twenty-nine years he says he has resided there without citizenship. The negroes there have an interest in real estate not equaled anywhere else in the United States. Every man, woman and child who are citizens of any of the Indian tribes, owns from forty acres to one hundred and forty acres each. This feature of the country makes it a very inviting field for negro emigration. A most beautiful country, healthy and 6 HON. J. C. CHANEY. possessing a climate unexcelled in our United States. He says it is the poor man's country. It is the place for men who have means to invest. Come west and grow up with the country, is his advice. THE BUSINESS LEAGUE The Local Business League met in True Reformers hall on Monday evening with a large attendance. J. A. Lankford, president, called the meeting to order and after preliminary devotional exercises, Attorney Giles B. Jackson of Richmond, Va., was introduced as the principal speaker of the evening. Mr. Jackson spoke for one hour on the Jamestown Exposition. He gave some practical advice which was loudly and enthusiastically applauded. Among other things he said that the negro was against himself. So many of them wanted to be white and thought themselves above their own race. The white people, said Mr. Jackson, don't want the negro. He will not get together himself, so the whites have "Jim Crowed" him; so now he must do for himself and go with each other because the white people have forced them. The colored people in Richmond, Va., are doing well now since they have been forced to come together. The negro would have been a success in Richmond had it not been for the white people. The white doctors have boycotted the negro in Richmond so now he must employ colored physicians. His address throughout its delivery was full of common sense, which was highly appreciated. At its conclusion several of the members took shares in the Jamestown Exposition Mesdames Gilhum and Clinkscales furnished instrumental music.

READ THE BEE he Second Battist Lyceum he Second Battist Lyceum One of the largest and most enthusiastic audiences yet seen at the Lyceum of the Second Baptist Church this season greeted the Hon. W. Calvin Chase, editor of The Bee, on last Sunday afternoon. Mr. Chase's subject had been announced as "Feeding the Serpents," but for some cause he chose instead the subject of "Leadership." He was ably assisted by Madam Arabella V. Chase, who sang a solo, to the delight and entertainment of her audience; Master W. Calvin Chase, Jr., a cornet solo, and Miss Beatriz Lucinda Chase, who presided at the piano with grace and dignity; Miss Chase also favored the audience with an instrumental solo. In fact it was a day for the Chase family before the Second Baptist Lyceum, in which each part was ably sustained. Mr. Chase announced that he generally carries his own music with him—his family furnishing the music, while he does the talking. Mr. Chase's address was not lengthy, but was full of pith and point, as well as of history and reminiscence. He spoke of colored leaders—past and present. Of the former leaders whom he characterized as "the old guard," and whose conduct he approved as having been generally right and in the line of the vital interests of the race, he mentioned the names of Langston, Lynch and Douglass, though the life of neither was entirely without fault or blunder. He spoke of Mr. John R. Lynch's connection with the defunct Capital Savings Bank, and Mr. Douglass' marriage to a white woman. He thought Mr. Douglass showed lack of real manhood in failing to enter his protest at his exclusion from the common table and mail packet, on the occasion of the visit of the commission (of which he was a member) to San Domingo in 1872, and from the dinner subsequently given to the commissioners by the President of the United States. Notwithstanding these apparent blunders, those were men of courage, and the American negro could never forget them. Though no names were given, Mr. Chase thought those who were commonly classed among the new leadership lack stamina and courage of the old. They have failed demonstrate true representative force. They, as a rule, are men lacking in national reputation. Their public acts and utterances show them to be wanting in true interest of the race; they have sold their souls for political prestige and power. They experiment, while the rights of the race are being ravished. They are controlled, mainly, by party dictation. Officeholders should not set themselves up as leaders, unless they have the courage of their convictions. As a rule they are trimmers and apologists. Leaders, like poets, are born not made; not self-constituted, but brought forward through the exigencies of some great occasion, in which the strength and merit of such a leader is spontaneously recognized. Leaders must be men of courage, of confidence and of conservatism. Those engaging in the discussion which followed were: Lieut. R. E. S. Toomey, Rev. L. C. Moore, Mr. Foster, Mr. Williamson, Prof. Jesse Lawson, Mr. A. H. Matthews and Mr. Harris. Next Sunday afternoon Lieut. Thos. H. R. Clark, subject, "Modern Conversation." The public is cordially invited. DR. GORDON RESIGNS President of Howard University Asks to be Relieved. In view of the serious differences of opinion between President Gordon and certain members of the faculty at Howard University; and which culminated in the method of treating the disorders in the chapel on Friday last, President Gordon has placed his resignation in the hands of the president of the board of trustees, and a meeting of the board will be convened at an early date to take action upon the resignation. At noon Thursday each of the four deans administered a public reprimand to the students engaged in the disorder on Friday last, these students having expressed their sense of the offense committed and expressed a desire to make amends in any manner possible. A gang of eight masked men, entered Reading, Mass., last Saturday morning and locked up the two policemen who were patrolling the main street and then forced entrance in the Mechanics' Bank, where they blew open a safe with dynamite which belonged to the Reading Water Works.

A certain New York doc- tor, whose name thus far 3 withheld, recently accompanied a wealthy west- ern American to Italy, where his pa- tient after a lingering Illness died, In order to avold the trouble and fermalities of carrying the body to the United States in a coffia the doctor on ts own authority had the corpse cre mated.

Prac ucally all the banks started In the pas! thres years have had thelr capital fur nished by farmers, “The high’ prices that wheat and cort bave brought and the bountiful charac: ter of the hay crops have made big money for most of thefarmers, More o! them than ever have retired from active life and turned over their farms to the boys in the past year.

INSURED AGAINST THIEVES New York Hotel Proprietors Devise Plan to Protect Themselves on Patrons’ Losses. & 7 New York.—Proprietors of prominent hotels in Manhattan, including the Waldorf-Astoria, have hit upon a new scheme to protect themselves against the many robberies of patrons that have been committed of late and that seem to be constantly growing In number, While the plan will not aid in the ap- prehension of the thieves, which has al- ways been hard to accomplish, it will guarantee the hotel men against losses, which In several instances, {t Is said, have amounted to from $10,000 to 20,000 & year, ‘With the cooperation of several of the larger insurance companies a sys- tem to be kown as “Iandlords’ Hapility Insurance” has been framed, by which, upon payment of premiums, hotelkeep- ers receive policies for any amount. they may see ft toask.

B. H. Dist Pass' Ag' 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, 13rd, 12th 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.

Widow of Millionaire to Be President of Line Between Los Angeles and San Francisco. Santa Monica, Cal.—Work has been commenced on an electric railroad from Santa Monica to Hueneme. The name of the new road is the Hueneme, Mallbu & Port Los Angeles, of which corporation Mrs. May Rlndge is president and H. W. Lemcke general manager. The company is capitalized at $1,000,000, and will have its offices in Santa Monica. The road follows the beach, and in Ventura county will connect with the Burson road for Ventura, and thence to Santa Barbara. Rails, rolling stock and equipment have been ordered to the east. Several hundred yards of track have already been laid and a force of 200 men will soon be at work. The line will be extended from Santa Monica to Los Angeles, and at the other end, after reaching Santa Barbara, it is expected it will be ultimately pushed on to San Francisco. The section of the road now building is the first part of what is proposed to be a beach trolley line from Los Angeles to San Francisco. Mrs. Rindge, whose name appears as the president of the company, is the widow of the late multi-millionaire Frederick H. Rindge, who initiated the enterprise. Rindge left an estate of $35,000,000, which fact guarantees the financial stability of the present undertaking. WILL MOVE THE TOWN. Steel Corporation Likely to Change Site of Sparta, Where Drills Have Been Working. Duluth, Minn.—It is probable that the village of Sparta, two and a half miles east of Eveleth Mesaba Range, will have to be removed to a new location near the present site. The town, which has a population of 1,000 people, has met with the experience of Eveleth in its earlier days. Iron ore has been found beneath the town site, and to mine it it will be necessary to remove the buildings. Diamond drilling has been in progress in the village, or close to it, for the last two years, and, while there is no official information as to the extent of the ore discoveries, it is the general understanding that the existence of large bodies of mineral has been proved. The exploratory work has been done by a steel corporation, which controls the mineral rights in the town site. The village was established eight or nine years ago, when the Genoa mine was opened. This property is still in commission, as are the Malta Sparta and Pettit, in the same field. The Hobart mine is a new property being opened up near Sparta. DESIRE SANE LOVEMAKING. Logansport, Ind.--For the purpose of discouraging swains with a disposition to monopolize all their time and to encourage the habit of "breaking away" early, the Cupid Ten O'Cock club is waging a reform for sanity in lovemaking. Miss Florence Moore, the founder, is the president. She declared that two evenings a week was abundant opportunity for the prosecution of the mortarent suit, and believes that "no two young people can have anything so important to say that it cannot fully be discussed in a three hour call." Announcing in newspapers her intention to combat evils arising from too great familiarity before marriage, she called for enrolments in the new club, and declares it will revolutionize lovemaking in Logansport. She hopes to extend the idea throughout the state. Miss Moore is only 18 years old and is of a prominent old family. PROTEST HITS ROOSEVELT Pittsburgh Woman Decides to Write Letter to President's Wife on Race Suicide. Pittsburg, Pa.-Pittsburg philanthropic women take exceptions to President Roosevelt's race suicide theory. Mrs. S. E. Lippincott, superintendent and secretary of the Society for the improvement of the Poor, after consultation with other members of the society, has decided to write to Mrs. Roosevelt asking her to persuade the president to modify his position. This determination became crystallized when a woman who had been deserted by her husband and is panneless, applied for aid. She is the mother of 17 children, seven of whom are dead "and happy." Another is in the institution for the feeble minded, at Polk. Pa. Although reduced to extreme poverty by the desertion of her husband, the woman wants to apply to the president for a medal as an example-of his ideal wife and mother. Mrs. Lippincott said: "What with the wretchedness and distress of these big families raised by the shiftless poor, the equally large families brought by immigrants to this country, and the menace they are to our nation and to society. I purpose writing to Mrs. Roosevelt an appeal to her womanhood against this indiscriminate applauding of unwelcome conditions." PREMONITION OF HIS DEATH Brooklyn Man Dreamed of the Fate He Met—Killed in Recent Wreck. Brooklyn, N. Y.-Carl Emil Thornland, of Brooklyn, who was killed in the recent wreck in the Santa Fe railway, Lear Kansas City, had a remarkable premonition of his death. He lived with his daughter, Mrs. Phoren, in Brooklyn, but had decided to visit his other children in San Francisco. On several occasions before his departure he predicted that he would never reach his destination. "Three weeks ago he received an invitation from his son in San Francisco to visit him, but it was only last week that he fully made up his mind to leave us," said his son-in-law. "The old man awakened my wife and me by uttering loud screams in his sleep, and each time we awakened him he declared that he had just dreamed he had been killed in a railroad wreck. Just before he left the house to go to the train, he declared that he had received a few minutes before a message from God telling him to make preparations for his entrance into Heaven. We coaxed him not to go, but he insisted that if that was the way God wished him to die, he was always willing to abide by His word. Before leaving the house he made us all kneel in prayer, and before he had finished his face was suddenly lighted up with a heavenly light such as I had never seen before. I am ready to go now any time the dear Lord calls me," he said, and it was not until he had reached the railroad station that he again broached the subject." A newspaper for engaged couples is the novel innovation in Swiss journalism. The first edition of this new journal states that the object of the paper is to supply a list of engaged couples to tradesmen for business purposes. There appear to be 12,000 engaged couples in Switzerland, and their names and addresses are given in the paper. The new journal will appear twice a week. What Russia Needs. Each of the Russian grand dukes receives a salary of $1,600,000 a year. We believe their places could be well filled by cheaper men. WIFE WON AT LAST. COUNTESS WITTE NOW A POWERFUL WOMAN IN RUSSIA For Ten Years She Strove for Social Recognition at Czar's Court and Victory Finally Comes—A Most Beautiful Woman. London.—From Jewish obscurity to the foot of the throne of the great white czar. From poverty to millions. From exile to honor. This, in a word, is the wonderful story that reached its climax when the Countess Witte was received by the Emperor Nicholas. Social St. Petersburg rocked upon its foundation at the sight. The Jews of the city in the midst of impending famine and civil conflict held up their hands and offered thanks to Jehovah. Count Sergius Witte's heart must have glowed at the greatest achievement of his life. No man has ever before secured the presentation to the czar, at court, of his wife, when she was of Jewish birth, obscure origin, bearing the tarn sh of a divorce and one-time banishment from the Russian realm. Nothing of contemporary history so proves the strength of Sergius Witte in Russia as this reception of his wife at court. It is ten years since Witte, appointed minister of finance, heard these sinister words from his emperor: "I remember that you are not married." which he understood to be in effect an order that he should never call the fact of his marriage to the attention of czar or court. It was a year or two afterward, when Mme. Witte accumulated a fortune of millions of rubles in speculation with Adolph Rothstein, organizer of the Russo-Chinese bank, as her adviser, that the czar took notice again of the fact that Witte was married. M. Momantoff, president of the Moscow-Yaraslav railroad, had lost $3,500,000 when Mme. Witte's raid on the stock of the road was at an end. He went to the czar, who flew into a towering passion. Witte heard of the incident and hastened to his royal master, who re- ```markdown ``` COUNTES8 WITTE. (Received at Czar's Court After Ten Years' Struggle.) fused to see him. In some way he was restored to favor, but Mme. Witte went to Nice. It was common knowledge at the court of St. Petersburg that she was practically in exile. After a time, as Witte came more and more into the favor of the czar, Mme. Witte was allowed to return, while still unrecognized as living by the emperor. She gave many brilliant entertainments in her attempt to gain an entree into high society. Her soirees, which were magnificent, were attended by leaders in officialdom and finance, but not by their wives, nor by the aristocracy. Her task seemed hopeless, until Witte was appointed to the Portsmouth mission and carried out his duty with such tremendous power and audacity. To-day, so great is the emperor's regard for Witte, whom he has recently promoted to be his personal adviser in the internal affairs of stormy Russia, that Mme. Witte's antecedents and past have been forgotten. The ear has even overlooked the fact that she is a Jewess. Mme. Witte is one of the most beautiful women in Europe. Yet she was born a Jewish peasant in Moseow. They called her Matilda. History does not go further than that with her name. A substantial tradesman named Lissanewitch fell in love with her. After a time they were married. She induced her husband to move to St. Petersburg, where her ambition carved out for her a future. Her fame as a beauty, as a wit, as a brilliant woman, spread throughout the city. She became the divinity of Witte. After a time Lissanewitch placed to his credit 25,000 roubles ($12,500) and Mme. Lissanewitch secured a divorce. She married Witte. He was ambitious; so was she. He desired fame; she wished it for him. He wanted great riches; her ambition could not be gratified without them. It was at this time that Mme. Witte met Adolph Rothstein, who was fighting his way to the front in the world of finance. With his help she made the fortune she needed. In one coup she won $5,000,000 in the stock market. Then came the czar's rage over the matter and Mme. Witte's departure for the south. That was several years ago, and times change in a Russian court. To-day Witte is the greatest man in Russia. Rothstein is governor of the Imperial Bank of Russia, and Mme. Witte—Mme. Witte has been received at court. New Persons Have More Matters to Deal With Than William Loeh, Jr., Secretary to President. Washington.—The recent order of President Roosevelt making his secretary, William Loeh, Jr. the spokesman for the cabinet responding matters of public in arrest dealt with at its sessions by the latter, is a signal proof of the chief magistrate's great reliance on his faith of right-hand man. In no other secretary to a president was such confidence ever reposed, but in this case the act was justified by the remarkable ability and M. WILLIAM LOEB, JR. (Roosevelt's Private Secretary Nicknamed "Our Deputy President ) good judgment displayed by Mr. Loeb in the performance of his difficult duties. Moreover, Mr. Loeb has sustained a close confidential relation to the president since Mr. Roosevelt became governor of New York, and he thoroughly comprehends his superior's views and policies. It is not difficult to see that while Mr. Roosevelt goes ahead with work at a clip like this, occasionally taking a trip across country besides, there must be a great volume of business to transact in the executive offices. This falls upon Mr. Loeb, and so arduous has the labor of the white house become that the private secretary has been appropriately dubbed in jest "Our Deputy President." It is Mr. Loeb's duty to open all the white house mall, and this is the first thing that engages his attention when he enters the executive offices in the morning at eight o'clock. The porters have brought the huge mail bags into the office from the post office early in the morning, and they contain all the letters that have come in for the white house over night. It then devolves upon Mr. Loeb to "go through" this vast pile of letters, carefully assorting them so that he may put aside only the very important public matters and extremely personal letters for the president to take up personally. Mr. Loeb is usually ready for his session with the president before ten o'clock, taking with him to the president's private office only such matters as require the personal attention of the chief executive. Left behind are many letters and business matters with which Mr. Loeb himself can deal, and these are eliminated from the conference, except, perhaps, for a casual mention of the nature of one thing or another. The president reads his important mail, tells Mr. Loeb what he wishes done with this or that, takes up new business, and gives directions, and within an hour, or little more, has managed to load Mr. Loeb down with enough work to keep all the stenographers of the white house force busy the rest of the day. Having been so long associated with President Roosevelt, Mr. Loeb has caught the manner of the man, and is quick in seeing the point. A HISTORIC CHURCH. House of Worship on Long Island Possesses Royal Charter from New York.-SL George's Episcopal church, at Hempstead, L. I., for the remodeling of which plans are being Cemetery ST GEORGES CHURCH (Historic Structure at Hempstead, N. Y. to Be Remodeled ) arranged, is one of the historic edifices of the country. In April, 1904, the two hundredth anniversary of its passing into the control of the Episcopalians was celebrated. The present church is the fourth that has stood on the site. It possesses a royal charter presented by Queen Anne, and also a communion ret given by the same ruler in 1706, together with a Bible, prayer book, a book of homilies, and silver chalices and patens. The interior of St. George's is considered to be unusually quaint. The roof is supported by 12 huge pillars of solid oak that extend into the basement. It boasts a clock that has kept time for nearly 100 years. --- -DANGER AHEAD. There is a desire in Congress to withdraw from Howard University the annual appropriation. The Bee in this connection desires to call the attention of those who caused the revolution by the actions of the students last week to these facts. When colored men were given the right to vote in this city, they held many responsible positions. They had representatives on the board of the Fire Commission, the Police Commission and Street Commission. The colored politicians wrangled and fussed so much among themselves till at last they lost everything they had. The public schools were in charge of colored trustees and a colored superintendent. Everybody who is familiar with the investigation of the schools knows how it ended. The colored public schools never were in such a good condition as they were under the superintendency of Mr. Geo. F. Cook. Colored teachers received the same pay that white teachers received in similar classes. Now what is the situation? Every colored teacher and officer in the public schools are subordinate to white teachers and officers. The colored members of the board of education can hardly dictate the appointment of teachers to be appointed in their schools. Mr. Foster of Vermont recently introduced a bill in the House, subordinating every school under the supervision of the Board of education. Now comes Howard University for its share of reduction. And why? Because a few malcontents cannot control the institution. Because the president of Howard University wants to make necessary reforms for the betterment of the institution. There is no college in the world that offers to the colored youth the advantages that Howard University does. The Congression- al appropriation and the contributions from white philanthropists withdrawn, what will become of the institution? Its medical school; its law department; its theological department and other departments that have made so many great men among the colored people will be remembered as advantages of the past. The young colored man does not know what he is doing. He is being mislead on to his detriment. They had better take warning before it is too late. Dr. Gordon is with the people and he believes in giving to the young colored man and the young colored woman all the advantages that he can procure. Dr. Gordon was regarded a great man in the estimation of those who now oppose him, before he attempted to discipline them and to inaugurate reforms. It is the duty of the colored people to rally to the support of Howard University before it is too late. There is danger ahead. If those students who walked out of the University last week had once stopped and considered how much money their parents have contributed toward its support, The Bee is of the opinion that they would have remained in their seats. It is claimed that Dr. Gordon is paid too much and doesn't teach. Why did it take three years to find this out? These questions were not REBELLION. JUSTICE TERRELL It is a small thing to fight the con- stitution of Justice Terrell on the point of his connection with the car- rer Savings Bank. Had it not be the treachery of a few colo- nies in the bank would have been in murshing condition today. Tho- se are some honest men connected wi- th the bank. The Capital Savings B ank is not the only bank that has fail- ed Mr. Terrell, it is true, was secret, the bank, but not a cent was ex- pected to him. Neither has he co- ncepted any offense. The mistake a man only mistake Mr. Terrell e- nde was when he said the ba- uld pay dollar for dollar. He ought so and so did many other Bee also thought so at the ti- cause it had confidence in some men. Let Justice Terrell be confirm BOOKER'S CANDIDATE. It is quite evident that Mr. L. L. Williams of Chicago has been defended for the registorship of the Trusty and Mr. Vernon of Kansas was appointed. Mr. Vernon is indicted by Mr. Booker Washington of African Methodist Church. Mr. Lons has made an efficient office and just why he is to be succeed in another colored man The Best able to state. There is neither the declaration of a "square de register Lyons has not been given square deal." He has been given marble heart." Look for nothing you will expect nothing and show something come it will be a surprise. DR. GORDON RESIGNS. Rev. John Gordon, president of Howard University, has resigned from the presidency of that institute. The Bee regrets his resignation. He is no apologies to make for its use in the interest of Dr. Gordon. At Second Baptist Church. A large congregation assembled at the Second Baptist Church, 3d street northwest. Rev. Dr. W. Bishop Johnson, pastor, to her the pastor's eulogy of William Lloyd Garrison. Dr. Johnson read extracts from Garrison's speeches and eloquently referred to him as the foremost anti-slavery agitator, calling him the most remarkable character in American history. He paid a glowing tribute to Abraham Lincoln and said Mr. Garrison had made John Brown, Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglas, Chas. Summer and all the magnificent galaxy of anti-slavery champions a possibility. He reviewed the world's systems of slavery and declared 'America's slavery the most wicked in its effects upon the enslaved and the nation as well. Dr. Johnson praised the partriotism of Mr. Garrison and gave him a high place among the benefactors of the human race, urging the negros not to forget his invaluable services to them. He referred to the progress of the negro to show that Mr. Garrison's efforts were not in vain. Church of Our Reedcemer. Special exercises in honor of William Lloyd Garrison were held last night in the Church of Our Redeemer, on 8th street, N. W. Rev. D. E. Wiseman, the pastor, gave a brief address upon the words of Garrison. This was followed by an oration by Mr. Louis Monroe, upon the greatness of Garrison. Mrs. Jesse Lawson spoke of Garrison in temperance work. Alexandria, Va., Dec. 12, 1905. The Garrison celebration here last night was a grand occasion. The church was crowded. The principal address by Mr. L. M. Hershaw, secretary of the Niagara Movement, was enthusiastically received. Miss Coralie F. Cook of Washington read an excellent paper and Mr. T. M. Watson, a local attorney, delivered a fine original oration. Extracts from Phillips' eulogy of Garrison were read by Mr. F. Morris Murray. The music was contributed by some of the best local talent, including the Octet Club, and by Mr. W. H. Fossett of Cincinnati. The last named was obliged to respond to three encores. The church was elaborately decorated. Handsome souvenir programs, showing a fine picture of Garrison, were distributed. Mr. F. H. M. Murray was chairman of the committee of arrangements. TALKATIVE WOMEN From the New York Weekly. Women who are favored with the gift of gab soon become tiresome to most of their acquaintances. Undoubtedly the ability to talk well, upon occasion, is a great accomplishment; but the trouble with the woman who has once achieved distiction in this line, and who feels that she must be forever living up to her reputation, is that she is never willing to be silent. Generally, inasmuch as no one can be equally brilliant on all topics, she has some special theme, and, no matter on what subject the conversation started out with, she cleverly turns it round to her hobby. Perhaps she has traveled. Resign yourself, then, on every occasion to descriptions of strange countries. It does not matter if you care for nothing more foreign than your own back garden. Mrs. B. has gained a reputation for talking so entertainingly about her travels, and you must listen whether inclined to or not. Or, Perhaps, her favorite subject is music or art. The most absorbing topic on earth-for you may be a cure for the baby's colic. Mrs. A., who has a reputation to sustain for being entertaining, sweeps you aside and decants on the literary criticisms of the middle ages. The talkative woman forgets that most of us would rather talk about ourselves and our commonplace affairs than listen to the most brilliant monologue. She also forgets that there are times when silence is better than speech. Corporal Tanner, Commander in Chief of the G. A. R., is opposed to the proposition to open up Arlington Cemetery for the interment of distinguished civilians. A letter written by George Washington was sold last week to George D. "Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Crispus Attucks Relief Association. For the fourth time since we have been organized, we assemble tonight for the purpose of electing officers for the next ensuing year. It is not a duty to be performed lightly or without thought; one that should be done honestly and for the best interests of the Association. Our honored President who has been elected three times to that office now retires, he being the founder of this Association and having been thrice elected, serving through its incipiency with duty well performed as he believed he saw it. He has seen a grand organization of more than 500 men for nearly 3 years standing together, socially, morally, spiritually, intellectually and he has not defaulted his trust. May God bless him. To our Association I feel that one should feel proud of our work for despite the many organizations in this city our Association formed from among them all have kept pace with the times and step with the Master. We have not forgotten our God nor neglected our brother. At this time we are to nominate a gentleman for the office of President, for that purpose I put in nomination, a gentleman whom I trust will meet the approval of the majority of members. A few decades ago when Mason and Dixon's line meant something, when section and section of this country were arrayed against each other; when the guns of the confederacy had lowered the flags of Sumter and John Brown's spirit was on its march, amid the howls of slavery and the cries for freedom, there was born a boy in the good old state of Virginia; one of many, whose mother brought him to Washington as a babe, sheltered by the guns of freedom. He received a scant education and while it was the purpose of his mother to give him a good education, he had then what he has today, a righteous ambition and thinking of his mother and aged aunt, he felt it was his duty to go to work and care for them. That he did, but he did not neglect others nor his body or soul, for he soon became Christian and joined one of the best churches in this city and he has been faithful and true and has served in every honored position except deacon and pastor. He is identified with the noblest sacred orders in the world. The Masons and Odd Fellows, and as St. Paul told Timothy: 'Aquit thyself like a man' and tonight I present him to you for your president for the ensuing year. He is not faultless, if so he would need an undertaker, but I believe him to be a good Christian gentleman and I am sure we shall all be pleased. I take pleasure in nominating Aldridge T. Lewis.' At the conclusion of this nominating address the wildest enthusiasm was displayed and when the vote was announced it was unanimous. Mr. Lewis is one of the best liked men in the city; a man of the highest integrity and honor. It is believed that his administration will be one of success, financially and otherwise. ITEMS ON THE WING. Dr. Hunt, Yeovil's new mayor, instead of giving the customary banquet, has decided to assist the local unemployed with the money. A Glasgow family claim and have evidence to support their claim, that they are heirs to a great part of the land upon which New York is built. The value is said to be $350,000,000. Mr. D. F. Seville, one of our special representatives, will make his yearly rounds for collection of subscription matter due The Bee. Please be ready when he calls, as you know it is very cold, and we need money. This world, the next, and then the fireworks. Senator. Mitchell's death was ignored by the Senate. he A good collector is wanted at this face. Liberal percentage paid. There was a most agreeable company at the Whist Circle last Tuesday evening. If you will advertise in the Calendar Number of The Bee send in your matter at once. Miss Fannie C. Chase is able to walk out occasionally. She is steadily improving. Those who followed Booker will be retained. His occupation will go like Qhello's some day. Dr. A. M. Curtis of this city, who has been in Richmond, Va., on professional business, has returned to the city. The philosophy of some colored people is, no matter what offense a negro commits, they say he is a colored man. Mr. H. E. Cuney, who has been in New York City for several months, has returned to the city greatly improved in health. Commissioner West is having no treeless nights over the charges filed against him. Mr. West is able to take care of himself. Mr. John McHenry Jones, Grand Master of the United Order of Odd Fellows, was in the city this week, the guest of Mr. W. L. Houston. Mr. Jones left on Thursday. Mr. Oratio Whittid will leave the city next week for Elkin, N. C., where he will be married to Miss Mary Ellen White, niece of Ex-Congressman George H. White. Mrs. L. S. Chase Goldsberry, who has been an invaluable guest of her sisters since May, will return to Lynchburg, Va., shortly. Mrs. Goldsberry has been substituting for her sister, Miss Eva A. Chase, at the Jones building. Mrs. Ella V. Chase Williams, of Abbeville, S. C., who has been the guest of her sisters, will return for several months and after having spent a pleasant time among old friends will return to her home next week, greatly to the regret o fher family and friends. Those who will receive on New Year's day are requested to send in their notices to The Bee next week and week after next. No charge will be made. The senders will sign their names, not for publication but as a guarantee of good faith. It is also suggested that the names of those who will assist be written distinctly. Rev. G. W. Dallas, postmaster of Shawneetown, I. T., is in the city, stopping at 1420 Pierce Place, N. W. Miss Eva A. Chase, who has been quite sick for several months, is able to resume her duties at school again. Her teacher and pupils were glad of her return Tuesday morning. Rev. Wm. Howard, of Ivy City, D. C., was surprised Saturday, December 9th, by being presented with a nine-pound baby, born on the ninth day, the ninth hour and nine months. Mrs. Howard is doing well. Rev. Howard is gratified to know that he is a father. Attorney Giles B. Jackson of Richmond, Va., is in the city. Mr. J. T. C. Newsome met with a painful accident last week that came near ending his existence. About midnight a ring from his telephone was heard and in his haste to reach the phone he ran a sharp nail through the top of his head, which knocked him senseless. He was carried to the Emergency Hospital and as the doctor's were about to put some stitches in his head he objected for reasons best known to himself. Because he refused the physician in attendance refused to do anything for him. He left and returned home and doctored himself. From all accounts Dr. Newsome doing well. SOCIAL CHIT CHAT. Mr. David A. Clark went down to meet last Tuesday nightmt. He had lived for nearly five years. Be wise, is, and don't hold on too long. Mr. C. F. M. Brown was re-elected president of the Y. M. P. L.

New District Attorney of Suffolk County Terms Himself the "Folk and Jerome" of Hub City—Is a Born Plighter. Boston.—"The Folk and Jerome of Boston" is what John B. Moran, elected district attorney of Suffolk county, Massachusetts, at the recent election, proclaims himself to be, after a campaign in which he fought alone the democratic and republican city and county machines, and was elected by a majority of 4,449 over Michael J. Bughrue, who had both party nominations, the support of the Suffolk county bar and the "respectable" element in local politics. Alone and unalued, Mr. Moran, who is a well-known lawyer, fought one of the hardest and most sensational battles, as to results, ever known in local politics. He had no campaign headquarters, no treasury, no speakers. To offset the first, he established headquarters in his law office. For the second, he paid his expenses, hired tails, etc., out of his own pocket, even so far as to mortgage a life insurance endowment policy for $4,000 to pay campaign bills. For the third, he was his own speaker. He held rallies night after night and spoke at all of them. He had no presiding officer and no imposing list of vice presidents. All the people came for was to hear Moran and he dispensed with the other accessories. One reason for this was that few, if any, of the politicians of either party cared to associate themselves with his campaign, for not one of them supposed for a moment he was going to win. Unaided by a single newspaper or a machine of any kind, with no help from friends or associates, without a solitary stump speaker, and opposed by the bar association, with its 859 lawyers, he took the stump, paid for his own halls, opened his own meetings, advocated his election single-handed, and wrote and paid for his own advertisements, many of which were refused by the newspapers because of the JOHN R. MORAN. (Newly Elected Independent District Attorney of Boston.) sweeping charges he made against men in high official position. Every newspaper in the city thought his campaign was a joke, and gave his rallies only the briefest mention. His opponent, one of the most popular lawyers and officials in the city and of the very highest reputation, and the party managers also took his campaign as a joke and did not even go to the trouble of countering his rallies or answering his charges. To say the party managers and Mr. Moran's opponent were surprised on election night is putting it very mildly. A modest man is Mr. Moran. On election night he took his new honors easily and announced that he would not seek reelection at the end of his term. "I'm going to emulate Roosevelt in that," he declared. Moran's personality is a most interesting one. He was born in Wakefield, Mass., April 27. 1859, the son of John and Ellen (Brown) Moran, who had come to the United States from Ireland in 1852. He attended the Wakefield high school, Phillips, Exeter academy, Boston University law school, and after being admitted to the bar began practice in Woburn, Mass. Soon after he removed to Boston, and entered a well-known law firm, but after six years opened an office of his own. Mr. Moran is known as a trial lawyer, and has conducted many important litigations so brilliantly as to gain him a high reputation and a large clientele. He is often retained by leading law firms as trial counsel. He is unmarried, a member of several organizations, including the Boston Athletic association, where he is known as a clever amateur boxer. He is finely built, of medium height, somewhat unconventional in dress, but always neat, is clean shaven, has sharp brown eyes, and wears glasses. He is known as a fighter from the crop of the hat. He has at times gone into democratic politics, usually to fight the "machine." He fought Mr. Mayor Josiah Quincy all through his term, and when the so-calledaming frauds came up, he fought hard to get at the men "higher up." In the recent gas investigation he was counsel for Thomas W. Lawson. Mr. Moran has three hobbies. They are boxing, vaudevills and novels. He rarely misses a boxing bout in this city or near by, attends vaudeville shows regularly, and reads a novel or every day of his life. He has an income of $15,000 a year from his law business. The district attorneyship will only pay him $5,000, devoting his entire time to the law office during his term he will lose $5,000 a year, but he says it will worth it." Tulloch Property in Scotland, Ghosts and All, Bented by Mrs. L. Z. Leiter of Chicago. London.—Mrs. L. Z. Leiter, of Chicago, has just taken a lease of Tulloch castle, a princely place not far from Inverness, Scotland, one that is surrounded by a halo of romance. Mrs. Leiter is renting the place only on approval, but if it suits her requirements she intends to make it her headquarters. It is her desire, now that her daughters are married to Britishers, to spend the most of her time in Europe. Tulloch castle, like Glamis castle, has its ghost. In this case the ghost is a very picturesque and altogether desirable one. In the time of the TULLOCH CASTLE. (Where a Ladylike;Ghost Bings Softly at Intervals.) Wars of the Roses a fair daughter of the house lost her lover in one of the skirmishes. This preyed so on her mind that her reason's gave way, and eventually she committed suicide by drowning. She was a musician, and tradition credits her with a beautiful and pathetic voice. At certain periods this tragic figure is said to appear at Tulloch in flowing draperies, her raven tresses bound with seaweed, and in her hand an ancient harp, while she sings in a plaintive voice old world love songs: Tradition says she usually appears when there is mention of England going to war, and for three consecutive nights makes her peregrinations in the corridors of the castle singing faintly as she goes. Scottish castles may be stately and magnificent, but they are not noted for their comforts, and their huge halls are decidedly draughty. In view of this, Mrs. Leiter has sent down a representative from a well-known London firm of decorators to make ab least one suite of rooms really cozy and comfortable. This suite is to be decorated in French style with American comforts The picture gallery at Tulloch castle is a quarter of a mile long and contains several of the finest Rubens, Rembrandts and Gobelin tapestries. The English school of art is represented by several of Sir Joshu Reynolds and Gainsborough's masterpieces. The kitchens, which are underground, occupy space sufficient for a small village. Yet another feature is the marvelous collection of orchids. In trying to procure one particular specimen four men are said to have lost their lives. DOUBLE WEDDING PLANNED Engagement of Last Two Daughters of Supreme Court Justice McKenna Announced. Washington.—Announcement of the engagement of Miss Hildegarde McKenna, youngest daughter of Supreme Court Justice and Mrs. Joseph McKenna, to John Leggett Pultz, of New York, followed almost immediately the confirmation of the report that another daughter, Miss Marie McKenna, is to be married to Davenport Brown of Boston. The sisters are considering the plan of having a double wedding in their father's home on Rhode Island avenue. The eldest daughter of Justice McKenna was married within the year to Pitts Duffield, of New York city, and with the marriage of Miss Marie MISS HILDEGARDE M'KENNA. (Daughter of Supreme Court Justice Whose Engagement Is Announced.) and Miss Hildegarde, the last of the sisters will have left the father's roof. Ever since Justice McKenna came to Washington as attorney general in President McKinley's cabinet his daughters have been favorites in Washington society, at first in the set of schoolgirls, later as debutantes, and then as full members of the cabinet and diplomatic circles. Washington has pronounced them lovely. The McKennas are Catholics. Miss Isabel was married to a Protestant and her sisters are to do likewise a fact which accounts for the weddings being home affairs rather than elaborate church ceremonies. His Contribution "Why don't you contribute something to the cause of reform?" "Well," answered Senator Sorghum "it has been said that I have already done as much as most men to make reform necessary."—Washington Star AMERICAN COMMERCE IS ON THE INCREASE. Dealings with Noncontiguous Territory Will Amount to $125,000, 000 in 1905-Philippine Business Is Multiplied. Washington. — Commerce of the United States with its noncontiguous territory in 1905 promises to exceed by many million dollars that of any preceding year, according to a statement issued by the department of commerce and labor through its bureau of statistics. The estimate is made that the total commerce with the noncontiguous territory for 1905 will approximate $125, 000,000. The bureau's nine months' statement, ending with September, shows that shipments from the United States to its noncontiguous territory amounted to $36,552,174, against $29,929,079 in the corresponding months of the preceding year, and that shipments of merchandise to the United States from noncontiguous territory in the same period amounted to $66,550,150, against $47,141,638 in the corresponding months of the preceding year. These figures relate to merchandise only, and do not include gold and silver, of which the shipments from Alaska to the United States were only $7,000,000 of gold produced in that territory and $5,000,000 of foreign gold shipped from Alaska, being presumably that originating in British territory adjacent thereto. In merchandise shipped from Alaska to the United States there is a decrease of a little less than $2,000,000. In shipments from the United States there was an increase of nearly $2,000,000 to Alaska, of more than $3,000,000 to Porto Rico, of about $1,000,000 to the Philippines and of nearly $1,000,000 to the Hawaiian islands. In shipments from noncontiguous territory to the United States there was an increase of about $5,000,000 from Porto Rico, of over $4,000,000 from the Philippines and of about $12,000,000 from the Hawaiian islands. In the nine months ended September 30, 1897, the year prior to the annexation of Porto Rico, shipments of merchandise from that island to the United States amounted to $1,767,028, against $16,176,676 in the nine months just ended. In the nine months of 1897 ship- ments from the Hawaiian islands to the United States amounted to $13,044,231, against $35,689,791 in 1905.

RICH, LIVES WITH HOBOES Old Man Is Now Under Treatment in a St. Louis Hospital—"Blew $ In" $5,000. St. Louis—Until he is well enough to travel Wallace Hungerford, aged 64, and who is said to be worth $100,000, is being held at the city hospital. . . is attorney, H. E. Walbridge, will accompany him to his home in St. Johns, Mich. For the past year Hungerford has been living in the slums of the city, chumming with hoboes and spending money with a high hand on all unfortunates that chanced to cross his path. He was found in a cheap lodging house in company with a gang of tramps who had been living on his bounty for some time. The old man says he blew in about $5,000 during the past year. Half, he says, went for "treats" and the other half was stolen from him by his comrades. Attorney Walbridge says Hungerford's family is a highly respected one in Clinton county, Michigan. 20,000 HOBOES IN FRANCE. Support of This Army of Tramps Costs Government $2,000,000 Yearly. Paris.—According to the Revue Bleue there are in France 20,000 vagrants, who, although unprovided with lodgings and absolutely abhorrent of work, are daily fed, clothed and lodged at the expense of others. The support of this army of tramps costs the country about $2,000,000 a year, not including the cost of the police and of the several institutions established in many parts of France to provide a temporary asylum to vagrants of both sexes. Serious demand is now made that the state shall take up the study of the best means to diminish vagrancy throughout the republic, and it is probable that the question will be discussed in the French parliament. Mechanical Spanker in Use An electric paddling machine, invented by Prof. Dennis, is now installed in the public school in East Penna, a suburb of Peoria, Ill. The method of operation is to place the pupil over a chair near the spanking machine, press a button, and a series of paddles immediately play upon the spankee. Residents of the village have protested, and declare they will take their children from school if the use of the machine is not stopped. King to Give Autoboaet Prizes King Victor Emmanuel, the ministry of marine, and several public institutions have promised important prizes for autobots if the next contest for the Mediterranean cup takes place, as proposed, between Palermo and Toulon, in which case important Italian firms will participate. Medician Dies After Baving About Buried Money, Whose Location He Had Forgotten. Los Angeles.—The death of Dr. A. M. Westlake at the county hospital puts beyond the probability of solution the mystery of the hidden money which he was said to have hoarded through years of economy so rigid that he justified in the minds of his acquaintances the name of miser. It was this mystery which Dr. Westlake took with him from the county poor farm to the hospital several weeks ago; it was this which was said to have darkened his last days; perhaps hastened his end, though he was totering under 85 years. Shortly before Dr. Westlake left the poor farm he became ill. It had been generally supposed by his fellows, there that the doctor had considerable money, the belief being that he had it buried or concealed near or in the grounds. When he fell ill the doctor acted strangely and made remarks which his acquaintances understood to mean that he had forgotten where his money was secreted. He wandered about the grounds; pressed his hands to his forehead; kicked the earth up at many points and appeared to be agitated. When he entered the hospital Dr. Westlake had $9 wrapped in a rag. During his last days of illness he spoke in a rambling way of money he had buried. WANT TO ANNUL. WEDDING. Trinidad, Col.—One of the strangest matrimonial contracts probably ever entered into is about to be annulled in Trinidad, when Mr. and Mrs. Kayson Boldt will have established a residence of six months in his county and the wife will then ask for a divorce, the husband acquiescing. About a year ago Boldt was engaged to marry a sister of his present wife, whose name was Genevieve Mims. The sister was Mrs. Elliott Chase, a widow, and she had a small daughter. Miss Mims and Boldt, it appears, hated each other, but Mrs. Chase became ill and sent for them and made a request that they get married in the event she died and care for her young daughter. They lightly agreed to this, it not being supposed Mrs. Chase was going to die. But she did, however, in a few days. The two kept their promise and were married, but they never lived together. The child died in Milwaukee several months ago, and they struck on Trinidad as the place to get a divorce remote from friends. Boldt is a young man and served with a Minnesota regiment during the Spanish-American war. HE MADE HIS. OWN. COFFIN Unaccustomed to Idleness, Aged New York Man Found Work for His Final Days. Phoenix, N. Y.—In a coffin made with his own hands and under a monument of his own designing, John B. Payne was buried here a short time ago. Mr. Payne was 85 years old and a carpenter by trade. After giving up his occupation and having plenty of time on his hands and unaccustomed to being idle, Mr. Payne spent his days in fashioning with great care his coffin. It was his masterpiece. The wood was selected from the finest timbers and beautifully prepared. It was inlaid with the best and rarest woods, and when it was finished the old carpenter used to show it to his intimate friends as another might exhibit the finest product of his hand and brain in painting or in sculpture. After the coffin was finished Mr. Payne gave his attention to his monument. He cut a straight marble shaft, inscribed near the top with the three links of his Odd Fellows order and at the base with his name. He even had this set up in his plot in the Phoenix rural cemetery, where his grave was dug and filled. SEEKS TO AVENGE HIS DOG Mexican Whose Pet Is Killed Tries to Wreck a Train, But Attempt Is Vain. Trinidad, Col.—A Colorado & Wyoming passenger train was nearly wrecked ten miles east of Trinidad. On a curve a spike was driven in the joints between the rails. It derailed the forward trucks of the engine. The train went only about 100 feet before it was stopped by the engineer. While going to Terclo on one of the trips at about noon the train killed a Mexican's dog. The Mexican was standing beside the track at the time, and seemed to become furious over the killing of his canine. It is believed by the officials of the road that the Mexican attempted to wreck the train out of revenge. The matter was reported to the sheriff, and efforts are being made to find the man. Had the whole train left the track it would have gone down a high bank into the Animas river. Pittsburgh telephone girls are deserting their employment, because they find the constant wearing of a receiver produces ugly corns on the ear. They also say their sense of hearing is more acutely developed in the left ear than in the right. They do not mind this so much as they do the disfigurement, which betrays their occupation, no matter how handsomely they are costumed. . MARKS BIRTHPLACE OF FOR- EIGN MISSION WORK. Shaft Erected in Grounds of Williams College—Work Begun by Five Young Evangelists Nearly a Hundred Years Ago. New York.—Many a visitor to Williams college is taken to the 'birth- place of American foreign missions, marked by a unique monument in a little park near the college grounds. For once in the history of the world a prayer meeting is commemorated by a monument. In Mission park, in Williamstown, stands a shaft which was dedicated on Sunday, July 28, 1867, to the memory of five students of Williams college, who met at the close of one sultry summer day in the year 1806 to hold a prayer meeting, as was their custom. They were overtaken by a sudden shower of rain and were compelled to seek the friendly shelter afforded them by a neighboring haystack. The group of young evangelists who were present at the prayer meeting on that particular occasion consisted of Samuel J. Mills, James Richards, Francis L. Robbins, Harvey Loomis and Byram Green. Sheltered from the rain by the haystack they continued amid the conflict of the elements their devotional exercises and discussed religious topics of deep interest to themselves. While the storm raged Mills communicated to his fellows the plan of executing a great life work. It was nothing less than a mission to some heathen land and the ultimate evangelization of the world. They communicated their plan to such of their fellow students as they believed would sympathize with them, and organized the Society of Brethren, a secret society, which had for its object the establishment of foreign missions. The result of the prayer meeting was the organization in Bradford, ```markdown ``` HAYSTACK MONUMENT. (Erected to Commemorate Prayer Meeting Held in 1906.) Mass, in 1810, of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. From this start grew the great society of the American Board, which has distributed millions of dollars. Since the grat meeting of five persons, its corporate and honorary members have increased to over 70,000. Years after the students had formed their great scheme of evangelization the spot where they held the prayer meeting was marked by a cedar stake. This led to the purchase of Mission park by the alumni of Williams college, and in 1867 to the erection and dedication of what is now known as Haystack monument. The cedar stake monument became marble through Harvey Rice, of Cleveland, who designed and at his own expense reared the prayer meeting site marker. The monument stands on the identical spot where the haystack stood. It is a strictly Berkshire county production, composed of Berkshire marble, quarried at Alford and wrought-in the workshops of the Berkshire Marble company. Its height is 12 feet, its shaft, cap and base square polished; its color a silver blue. It is surmounted with a globe three feet in diameter, traced in map lines. On its eastern face, and immediately below the globe, are inscribed these words: "The Field Is the World." Then follows a similitude of the haystack, sculptured in bold relief and inscribed with the words: "The Birthplace of American Foreign Missions, 1806." And beneath this appear the names of the five young men who held the prayer meeting under the haystack. Romanoff Race Extinct. People still speak and write of the "Romanoff," and there has not been a Romanoff in Russia for 143 years. The last of the Romanoffs died in 1762. The house of Romanoff began with Michael In 1613, and the male line terminated with his death in 1730. Then followed the female line, with Czarina Anne in 1730, and this line terminated with the death of Czarina Elizabeth in 1762. In the same year the house of Holstein-Gottorp came to the throne of Russia in the person of Czar Peter III. The present czar is not a Romanoff and he is not even a Russian. He is German, of the family of Holstein-Gottorp. The dynasty, however, with characteristic pride, styles itself "Romanoff-Holstein," but there is not a drop of Romanoff blood in Nicholas' veins.

London Municipality Ejects Walter Vaughan Morgan to Historic Office—Wealthy Bachelor. London—The municipality of London has selected another Welshman as lord mayor. Walter Vaughan Morgan has been an alderman and a city sheriff. He is a banker and manufacturer. My lord is a bachelor, and his niece, Mrs. Hornby Steer, will be the social queen as lady mayores. He is 74 years of age and was installed on November 9. For the year that he mills the office he will reside at the Mansion house. [Illustration of a man with a long beard and a bald head.] WALTER VAUGHAN MORGAN. (Recently Elected as Lord Mayor of Leu- burg) WALTER VAUGHAN MORGAN. (Recently Elected as Lord Mayor of London.) His chief duties will consist in eating a great number of official luncheons and dinners, wearing gorgeous garments, and going through funny ceremonies with prodigious solennity. For this he will be paid a salary of $50,000, but it will cost him at least twice that sum to maintain the Mansion house traditions of hospitality. He has, however, the consolation of knowing that during his tenure of office he is sure to be knighted, and will be known as Sir Walter for the rest of his days. Like all the city fathers, Alfremorgan is a prominent business man. With five of his brothers he founded the firm of Morgan Bros., merchants and newspaper proprietors, and the Morgan Crucible company. In 1855, resigning for that purpose the chief cashiership of the National Provincial bank's Manchester branch, in whose service he had been for ten years. These firms' steady prosperity has placed Walter Morgan in such comfortable circumstances that he will hardly be pinched by the heavy demands on his own private purse which the office of lord mayor entails. The two firms stand to-day as they did nearly 50 years ago, except that death has reduced the number of partners from six to three. Mr. Morgan is the first bachelor lord mayor in many years. In the many functions which each lord mayor is expected to give, the lady mayoress is an important feature. Besides already holding the ancient office of his majesty's lieutenant for the city, the lord mayor-elect is treasurer of Christ's hospital, and a free mason of many years' standing, being a past grand treasurer of the grand lodge of England. WILL REPRESENT NEW KING Fridtjof Nansen, Famous Explorer and Traveler, First Minister from Norway to England. Christiania.—Fridtjof Nansen, who has been appointed minister from Norway to Great Britain, is the renowned arctic explorer and traveler who holds the record of having been nearer the north pole than any other explorer—86 degrees 175 minutes. This record FRIDTJOF NANSEN. (Famous Norwegian Explorer Appointed Minister to England.) he made during 1893-6, but previously Dr. Nansen had made other trips to high latitudes. He first went to Greenland in 1892, and in 1893 traveled across that desolate country. Nansen was born October 10, 1861, and received his education at the University of Christiansia. He has been professor of geology at the latter institution, and also was curator of its museum and of the Natural History museum at Bergen. In 1889 he married Eva Sars, a distinguished singer. His home is at Lysaker, near the Norwegian capital. Impatient. Walter—How did you order your beef, sir? Gruffleigh — Personally, confound you!
