The New School System Publicity and openness in all administrative details is the dominant characteristic of the school system recommended by the bill introduced in the Senate by Mr. Cullom of Illinois to provide for the control, administration and support of the public schools of the District of Columbia and to determine and regulate salaries of all employees of the board of education. After providing that the control of the public schools shall be vested in a board of education, to consist of nine members, to serve without compensation, three of whom shall be women, and three of whom shall be of the colored race, the appointments to be made by the President of the United States for a term or three years, the bill declares that the organization meeting, and all meetings whatsoever thereafter, shall be open to the public. Star chamber proceedings are not to be countenanced in any particular. The annual report is to be made directly to the President of the United States; dismissal of a teacher shall be only after trial by the entire board, upon written charges and upon a two-third vote for expulsion; the superintendent of schools shall keep on file and open to the public a directory of all teachers, dates of appointments and other personalities of the entire force employed by the board of education, which directory shall be published annually; the secretary of the board of education shall keep an itemized account of all receipts and disbursements of the board, subject to audit and open to the public. Educational qualifications of the whole force of school employees from the superintendent to the kindergarten teacher are made specific. The duties of the board as an administration body in contradistinction to the educational duties of the three expert agents, a superintendent of schools, a superintendent of buildings and supplies and a supervisor of lectures, are clearly determined. The Head of the System. and shall hold a doctor of philosophy degree from an accredited college. Ten superintendents of buildings and supplies shall be responsible for the condition and care of all school buildings and premises. The supervisor of lectures shall serve without pay, shall hold a master of arts degree from an accredited college and shall have control and direction of the free lectures to the people and shall select and assign lecturers and other persons, whose services may be required in connection with the lectures. Assistant superintendents for white and colored schools are provided. The present supervising principals, upon a scheme similar to that of the bill introduced recently by Representative Foster of Vermont, in which salaries are based upon the number of session rooms under supervision, are retained under the name "principals of elementary schools." principals of high schools are likewise divided, but the position of general director seems to be eliminated. In connection with the matter of examination for appointment of teachers eligibility clauses are clearly defined. For elementary schools the equivalent of the Washington High School course and four years' experience or certificate from a normal school ranking with the Washington Normal School and two years' experience are required. Only graduates of the Washington Normal School are made eligible without examination. Eligibility of principals in elementary schools for examination shall be a college degree from an accredited college or certificate from the Washington Normal School and six years' successful experience. All principals must have taken the oral and written examination and shall have educational and executive supervision of the schools within this charge and be directly responsible to the superintendent. Stringent exactions are made for eligibility to the high school ranks, and examinations are demanded for progression from class to class. One of the novel features of the bill provides for the segregation into special classes of all habitual truants and incorrigible pupils, and, looking to the passage of a compulsory education law, provides that the superintendent shall group into special schools all pupils that are deaf, blind or mentally defective. A school nurse is provided, who shall receive daily copies of medical inspection records. Pensions for Teachers. In the matter of pension funds for the teachers of both white and colored schools the administration of the created funds is vested in a board of trustees, consisting of the president of the board of education, the chairman of the committee on teachers, the superintendent and two assistant superintendents and four teachers from both the white and the colored schools. The fund shall consist of all funds now available, together with such additions as Congress may prescribe, donations and bequests, and all deductions from annual salaries of officers and teachers, amounting to 2 per cent thereof, provided the same does not exceed $15 per annum for any individual teacher. Teachers who shall have taught twenty-five years, fifteen of which have been spent in the District schools, or, if disabled, who have taught twenty years, ten of which have been spent in the local institutions, shall be entitled to receive 60 per cent annually of the average salary, provided the same does not exceed $800 for teachers and $1,000 for principals. In a separate bill Mr. Cullom presents a schedule of permanent salaries similar to those submitted by the board of education and Representative Foster, but rather more generous than either, one significant feature being a provision for the retention of skilled teachers in the lower grades. The bill in general is regarded as tending strongly to the general advancement of District educational interests. Truant schools, pension fund, better salaries and educational quilifications of teachers are regarded as among the excellencies of the proposed system. When from the dazzling throne of God the angels took their flight Encircling through unfathomed space, their glorious pinions spread, Outshining sun and moon, Outshining sun and moon and stars inspiring fear and dread. And sailing downward through the skies past worlds and worlds unknown, They finally hovered over this earth that Satan called his own. Of peace and good will to mankind of never-ending love. Those heavenly messengers in their flight saw kingdoms great and small, They saw what human hands had wrought since Eve and Adam's fall. They saw proud Egypt now decayed and Ethiopia's strand, Carthage and Libbia once so great was but a captive band. Assyria, Babylon, Phoenicia had gone into decline, China and India's darkened mind knew naught of of love divine. Old Rome as mistress of the world stood on her seven hills, Her conquering armies marching forth in countless martial drills. The angels searching through the earth found it in a sad plight. A hopeless gloom enshrouded all, a darkness black as night. The first glance must have made them weep and cut short all their joy, To see those countless souls ensnared whom Satan would destroy. Their joys as quick returned again, for thus their message ran: Glory to God, peace on the earth and good will toward men. One angel left the heavenly host and found a shepherd band And told them of a wondrous babe now born in Judea's land. "Go forth," said he, "to Bethlehem, and there you'll surely find This lowly babe in swaddling clothes the Saviour of mankind.' Then suddenly the heavenly choirs rent both the vale and hill, Glory to God, peace on the earth and to all men good will. 'Tis nineteen hundred years or more since that great message came, In many ways mankind has changed, in heart they are still the same, Men strive and fight and hate and love, as in the days of yore, Peace and good will have not yet come to reign, from shore to shore. The Christmas child must come again with power on God's right hand, Then peace and love will fill the earth Our old friend Senator Gorman of Maryland has commenced to get better since the recent landslide in Maryland. He is what may be termed convalescent. Look out for the coal strike in April, 1906. M. HON. W. B. ALLISON, OF IOWA What I Saw And Heard What I Saw And Heard I don't know what some people think about office holding, but I know what I think. A man in office is always uneasy. He never knows when he is safe. The office of recorder of deeds has been placed under civil service, but the office of registrar of wills is in statu quo. I can't see why they would make flesh of one and bone of the other. There are some people who believe that the Republicans in office are friendly to the negro. The old school is for right and justice, but the new school is with the Southern Democracy. Will we have no Ben and Pencil Club now? It is to be regretted that such an excellent organization should be allowed to die in the prime of life. The cause of the recent uprising at Howard University is to be investigated by the committee. That should have been done in the first instance. The way to cure a disease is to locate it and then apply the remedy. Good physicians generally go to the bottom of a sore and not at the top. It is a fashion now to become notorious and then reform. The reformed demi monde is more respected than the HON. W. B. ALLISON person who has been virtuous all his life. Some men dislike ladies, but have the most profound respect for the wayward. I attended a ball and reception some few evenings ago and found the demi mondes out in full force. They were the centre of attraction, while the ladies occupied, seats in the corner. A resolution will be introduced in the District Committee to have the papers in the Lucy case sent to it. Also witnesses will be summoned to testify. The public will then see that there was no conspiracy against the accused. All the facts will then come out. Those who have asked him retention will see what they have done. I attended the exhibition of the public schools and found it the greatest in the history of the public schol system. The most striking feature of all the exhibits was that of Prof Hunsten. Fair Play. THE CAPITAL SAVINGS BANK. It will be remembered at the time the Capital Savings Bank failed, Dr. W. A. Warfield, agains the advice of his friends, filed a bill asking the court to appoint a receiver. This was a bad move because arrangements had been made by certain officers and directors to pay dollar for dollar to the depositors. Dr. Warfield could not see through this, so he insisted on filing a bill requesting the court to appoint receivers. Messrs. Thomas Walker, J. H. Stewart and R. H. Riesdard were appointed. The doors of the bank were closed for good when this was done. The depositors began to file suits. Dr. Warfield was sued by Miss Gertrude Smith, of this city, for $785 and costs. She was represented by Messrs. Thomas Walker, Irving Williams and George F. Collins. The suit was won and a few days ago Dr. Warfield paid over to the attorneys $785 with interest and cost of court. Miss Smith received the entire amount of her deposit. Of the 4000 students at Urbana, Ill. not one was hauled up last year for misconduct. Paragraphic News Charles O. Bader was murdered last Saturday night in the bar of his hotel at Minneapolis, Minn., by one of two hold-up men. A leeting of the parishioners held last week in St. Casimir's Polish Church at St. Louis, Mo., to protest against the pastor appointed by Archbishop Glemon, ended in a riot. The patrol wagon and policemen had to be summoned. Ex-Congressman Jas. A. Lockhart, of Wadsboro, N. C., died in the Presbyterian Hospital last Saturday, of gastritis. He was also a member of the fifty-fourth Congress. Over forty people were injured in a collision of three street cars in Los Angeles, Cal., last week. The jury at Fairmont, W. Va., has been discharged, being unable to render a verdict in the case of Mrs. Payton, who is charged with the murder of her husband, Jacob Payton. Lewis Graham, a Mexican, and Civil War veteran, died at New Orleans last Sunday at the age of eighty-four years. Baron Frederick Seefeld, whose present residence is in Philadelphia, was ar- ON, OF IOWA rested last Sunday night, charged with securing monty under false pretence. By the explosion of the engine's boiler a railroad locomotive was partly blown to pieces and two members of the train's crew were badly injured at Paterson, N. J., ast Monday. I horse attached to a buggy ran into a Pennsylvania eighteen-hour "flyer" at Diphos, Ohio, one morning this week, instantly killing Henry Honhurst and daughter, Rose. President Morales of Santo Domingo his left the city, and his whereabouts is unknown. Fred Gillette, W. B. Warner and Fred Englebrecht, the three men who broke the jail in Kearney, Neb., last week, have been captured near Holdredge, where they were brought to lay in a haystack. The eastbound Denver & Rio Grande passenger train from Silverton, filled with passengers, was wrecked three miles from Durango, Col., last Sunday. One passenger was killed, while several others were injured. A terrific explosion of dynamite occurred one night last week in Maryland. Three thousand pounds was stored in the house of McCoy and Nught's camp near Magnolia, W. Va. The powder house and the blacksmith's shop and eight cars were demolished. Wallace B. Douglas, a restaurant keeper, walked twelve miles in his sleep last Friday night week and awoke in the country at 2:30 o'clock with his face in a water trough: Eight men were killed last week at Ironwood, Mich., by a fall of 1000 tons of iron ore from a slip on the 1300-foot level of the Newport mine at Ironwood. Mrs. Sarah E. Fay, of Baltimore, Md., was 102 years old last Saturday. She is said to be probably the oldest woman in Baltimore. It is said that the Santa Gertrude's mine at Mexico City was still burning last Saturday and that thirty miners were suffocated. It is stated that the Finnish railroad employees have decided against joining the Russian strike at St. Petersburg. Meyer Halff, head of the wholesale house of Halff & Co., of San Antonio, Texas; died last week in that city after an illness of two weeks. The colonial secretary's office and the treasury were destroyed by fire last week at Basse-Terre, Island of Guadaloupe. It is said that reports of the existence of Bubonic plague have led Quarantine Officer Confer to announce in new regulations under which all packages of freight or express for the coast will have to be fumigated. The Aldwych, London's newest and most elaborate theatre, was opened last week under the management of Charles Frohman. Over ten persons were seriously injured and many others slightly cut by flying glass in a collision between trolley cars at Baltimore, Md. A heavy earthquake shock was felt at Bakersfield, Cal. The shock was felt from east to west and also cracked several buildings. Charles F. Richards, a noted lawyer of Delaware and father of Attorney-General Robert H. Richards, died last Saturday night in the Presbyterian Hospital, at Philadelphia, from congestion of the lungs. A USEFUL INVENTION In the tabulation of statistics from the manufacturers schedules received in the United States Census Office at Washington, where it is necessary to assemble similar statistics on a single sheet and to group these in set form, it becomes necessary to cut up the duplicates of the original tabulation sheets into strips of varying widths, sort, assemble and paste these strips, which are about eighteen inches long, on other sheets to form other classifications. As the strips vary in width from one-quarter of an inch to five inches or more and must be assembled and graded in a definite and set order, it is necessarily tedious work and requires not only great care to avoid inaccuracies, but in building up the rearranged tabulated data the adhesive must be applied to the strips in such manner as to prevent the faces of the strips from adhering to or becoming injured by contact with the next sheet. demands of the work. Mr. Robert A. Pelham, of Michigan, the clerk in charge of the work, after experimenting with several forms of mechanical devices, conceived and finally perfected a machine which has been thoroughly tested in the practical work of the Census Office and proves to be exactly the thing needed in that it expedites the work of coating the strips, is economical in the use of paste—the supply of adhesive being conveniently under control and regulation—and renders the work of pasting cleanly and rapid. On December 19, Letters Patent No. 807685 was granted to Mr. Pelham, on his "Paste Supply Device," an improvement in pasting apparatus, and two of the machines have been in daily use in the Bureau for some time. Negotiations are now pending for their adoption as a necessary adjunct in the tabulation of certain statistics in the census work. ITEMS ON THE WING. December 7, 1905, our old friend, Jerry Matthews, was buried from Bethlehem Church, Georgetown, D. C. Deceased was for a number of years in the service of the government. He was a prominent member of the Blaine Invincibles and of Col. Carson's Chief Lieutenants, also member of the Odd Fellows and Masonics (19th street faction). Requiescat in pace. We should remember that newspapers cannot be run with wind. It takes the hard cash. We all will pay the white papers and kick on paying for the colored papers. The time is here that the negro of the 20th century stands much in need of an official news organ. Please keep in mind that our official representative, D. F. Seville, who is well known to many in this city, is making his annual rounds in the interest of The Bee (subscriptions due, etc.). So please get your pennies together, as he will be sure to call upon you. We only have reference to those who owe us. The Grand Lodge of Masons of the District of Columbia (southeast faction) held its Quarterly Communication Wednesday, December 13, 1905. We understand that the Ill. Wm. H. Grimpshaw is a promising candidate for Grand Master and from what we learn we believe that he will be elected. (Hot times in old town.) $ \textcircled{1} $ One of the great mistakes of the negro is not engaging more in business Among The Odd-Fellows Mr. John Dunlop, of John F. Corn Lodge No. 1185, has been on the sick list for several weeks. He is now improving. Mr. V. P. John Francis Wilkinson, of Eastern Star Lodge No. 1028, and the oldest Odd Fellow in America, is looking the very picture of health these days. Sunday evening last Rev. A. J. W. Scott preached a special sermon to the members of Palestine H. of R. No. 1712 at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church Mrs. Ellen Jackson, with the Household officials, presided. A very large audience was present and all were pleased with the very eloquent manner in which Dr. Scott discussed the affection and fidelity which existed between Naomi and Ruth. The musical part of the exercises was under the direction of Prof. J. T. Layton. Rose Hill Lodge No. 1726 was present in a body. Among the representative Odd Fellows members of the H. of R. present were: W. L. Houston, grand director L. C. of M., Mrs. M. A. Parker, District M. N. G. and T. T. Hill, delegate to the 111th B. M. C. from Lodge No. 1726. Monday evening last, Silver Queen meeting for 1905. A large number of H. of R. No. 740 held its last regular meeting for 1905. A large number of members were present and after concluding the routine business the following annual officers were elected for the ensuing term W. R. Samuel H. Hunter, W. T. Mrs. Virginia Waugh, Worthy Counsellor Russell Harris. The following semi-annual officers were elected: M. N. G. Miss Mattie Holliday, R. N. G. Mrs. Matilda Williams, N. G. Miss Josephine Carey, W. P. Mrs. Annie Davis. Mrs. Virginia Waugh has served the Household as treasurer for eight years and was unanimously elected for the ninth term which begins January 1, 1906. Mr. Hunter is now serving his thirteenth term as worthy recorder. Rev. Dr. M. W. Clair, pastor of Asbury M. E. Church, preached a special sermon to the members of Peter Ogden Lodge No. 1374 and Naomi H. of R. No. 1038 at said church Sunday evening last. On the petition of Mrs. Anna L. Brown, widow, Past D. G. M. W. C. Martin, was appointed by Justice Stafford, holding the probate court, on the 16th instant, the administrator of the estate of William T. Brown, deceased. Mr. Martin was petitioner's attorney. The deceased was a faithful member of Old Ark Lodge No. 1695. Mrs. W. I. Lee, P. S. of Mount Olive Lodge No. 1333, delivered a very interesting address before a large audience of men only at Zion Baptist Church at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon last. The meeting of the Y. P. C. E. of Zion Baptist Church on F street southwest was largely attended at 6 o'clock Sunday evening last. Mrs. Alice Quivers, the president, presides. The topic, "What Our Denomination Stands For," was discussed by Mr. Samuel Matthews at length. Brief addresses were made by Mr. David D. Harrod, Dr. C. W. Childs, Lawyer W. C. Martin, Dr. W. J. Howard and Mr. W, R. Cameron, Mrs. Quivers read a beautiful poem on the topic. The musical exercises were under the direction of Mr. J. H. Smiler. The discussion was very interesting and edifying. MESSRS. DREW, HOWARD AND ROBINSON WIN AGAIN. In the second and last contest between the Metropolitan Baptist Church, Rev. German P. E. Drew, D. D., George Robinson and William Howard, these gentlemen win. Two weeks ago Rev. Norman and one of his trustees paid over to the attorneys in the recent church contest, Messrs. Taggart, Forrest and Chase, the full amount of cost of court. The church lost in her contest, hence the church, through her pastor, had to pay the cost of court. Rev. Drew will render institute proceedings for defamation of character. than he does. In conversation with several of our leading colored druggists we find that one-half of their trade is white. We find that when colored people open and conduct genteel places that they receive more support from the whites than their own race. We know of several cases. Representative W. A. Smith has introduced a bill making January 29 (McKinley's birthday) a national holiday. He a few days ago introduced another relating to Abraham Lincoln's birthday on the same basis. JAR PEOPFE.

Shall Cramated Corpse Pay Same Rate for Carriage as Body in Coffin? Paris.—A curious case now before a French tribunal invokes a point which has not yet come up for legal settlement. A certain New York doctor, whose name thus far is withheld, recently accompanied a wealthy western American to Italy, where his patient a lingering illness died. In order to avoid the trouble and formalities of carrying out the work of the company, the following are proposed: The officer issued on the American side all right, but the strangely company discovered his secret and demanded the price of carrying a dead body in a coffin, which amounts to nearly $150 more than the doctor paid for the urn's transportation. This he refused and the case must be decided at Paris, since it was at a French port that the urn was shipped. The impression here is that the company will lose the case. TO DUPLICATE EVERY GUN. Precaution That Is Deemed Necessary by the Naval General Board. Washington.—Every gun in the navy 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. Meniger, 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 rectplents of that distinction are understood to feel that in conferring the medal on a cook King Edward has rather cheapened the honors. 1 of satisfaction is a rare to $2.50 shoes.

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 Getham." 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.

The company is capitalized at $1,000,600, 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.

New York.—Among the foothills of the picturesque Berkshires of Massachusetts, in the town of Chester, lies an emery mine which has figured prominently in the history of the United States. Although this mine has been valued at various figures from $300,000 to over $1,000,000, it now lies idle, with little hope of being reopened. It is scarcely five years since the emery trust paid nearly $500,000 for the property, only to board up the tunnel, hide the great wealth of minerals in the hills, throw out of work a large force of miners—and for what purpose? To check competition. Meanwhile emery is being imported from Turkey and other foreign countries and brought here as ballast in ships. The foreign product is of an inferior quality, but without competition the market is open for its use, and it can be mined and imported at less expense than it costs to produce emery in Chester. The closing of this valuable emery mine (and the members of the trust admit its value) has been a great blow to the little town of Chester. Here was a town destined to be one of the most important in western Massachusetts. Surrounded with a wealth of minerals easily accessible and with water power at hand, the town promised a rapid growth. Ten years ago 175 men were working in the mines and mills and new industries were fast springing into life. An emery wheel factory was built and Chester's future seemed assured. Today hardly a dozen men are employed in the mills and the mines is closed. As a result the town has fallen back into inactivity and is now where it was nearly a quarter of a century ago. The discovery and history of the mine have been marked with many important and unusual events. As a monument of the closed mine there stands on one of ```markdown ``` COLLEGE CAT QUITS GRAVE Refuses to Stay Dead and Startles Girls at the Breakfast Table. LUCAS MUSEUM (Monument to Massachusetts Emery Mines at Chester) the main streets in Chester a stone building, never fully completed, and bearing the inscription over the door: LUCAS MUSEUM-FREE TO ALL. This was built by the late Dr. Heman S. Lucas, who discovered emery in Chester before the civil war, and who had intended the building as a gift to the town, together with his remarkable collection of minerals. Dr. Lucas, how- never lived to carry out his project neverll minerals, formed men in the country; on me he was like a child. Minerals interested him; money did not. How emery came to be discovered in the foothills of the Berkshires is a story familiar to many of the residents of Chester, but has been exploited very little in the world at large. ABOLISHES DUSTY STREETS New Substance Discovered in Greece Reported by American—Remedy Is Effective. Dr. Heilian S. Lucas was born in Blandford in the Berkshire Hills, September 10, 1817. In 1840 he took up the study of medicine and also dentistry, moving to Chester, where he practiced medicine from 1844 to 1878. Minerals had a great attraction for him, and in his long drives to visit his scattered patients he collected many fine specimens. It was in 1856 that he discovered what he thought to be iron and a company was organized for mining the ore. When it came to smelting the ore much difficulty was met with, and in the early sixties Dr. Lucas came to the conclusion that he had discovered emery. At that period all the emery used in this country was imported from Turkey. Then came the civil war, and the discovery of the Chester mine proved an important one to the government. The importation of emery ceased for a time and the government was furnished from the Berkshires. While the Chester mine was at the height of its glory, some five or six years ago, the emery trust, known as the International Emery & Corundum company, with Charles R. Flynt, of New York, at its head, and with Barber, of Diamond Match fame, and Rockefeller, of Standard Oil fame, on the board of directors, secured control. The price paid was close to $500,000. The international company worked the mine for a year and then turned it over to the Ashland Emery & Corundum company, this company holding a large mortgage on the property and being a party to the trust. The Ashland company ran the mine on a small scale for a year, but closed it about two years ago. Some ore from Turkey and the south is being shipped to Chester, and one of the mills is kept going a portion of the time, but otherwise the great emery industry is dead. --- Russian Soldier Finds 310 Bukles in Pockets of Man Shot Dead After Attempt to Entomb Him. Berlin.—During the late war in Manchuria the Russians were often so hard pressed as to be obliged from dispose of the dead and wounded in great haste. One wounded warrior told an interviewer, says a correspondent of the Hanover Courier, an almost incredible story. It appears that the practice was to give the dead and mortally wounded a black mark, and the slightly wounded a red one. Bodies with a black mark were then buried in large trenches by a sanitary column. "I barely escaped," said the vetoran. "Badly mauled, I lay on the field. A sanitary party approached. When they came to me I saw one of them seize the black brush. I just managed to gasp: 'I am alive. Do not bury me.' 'Have you any money?' I was asked, 'Yes.' 'How much?' 'Ten rubles.' 'Hand them over.' He took the money and gave me the red mark, and went on, but had not gone far when a Japanese bullet felled him. "Why should I lose my money? I thought. I crawled to the fallen man. He was dead. I searched his pockets. There were my ten roubles and 300 more. 'I am in luck this time,' I said to myself, and pocketed the lot. Then a mist came before my eyes and I fainted." WEAR SLAVERY'S SYMBOLS London.—The anklet, after hundreds of years, has returned to favor in London, and will form a necessary part of the outfit of the belle of to-day. The plain gold bands first worn were a sign of bondage, and the modern anklet resembles these. Woman, being a slave no more, is only too glad to play with the symbol of slavery, providing it is becoming. The anklet, therefore, is intended to grace the foot of the girl who intends to be just a little more than up to date. Some of the new anklets are the tiniest gold bands inscribed with ancient charms, said to defend the wearer from all diseases and from evils of every kind. Oriental anklets are much in demand and in many instances these are supplied with a hinge and clasp. Other anklets are made of precious stones strung together. These are worn under the stocking and scarcely show through, so fine and small are they. Phoenecian glass or beaten gold anklets carved, in hieroglyphics have become very popular in London and will be seen much or little at winter dances, according to the will of the weaver. Burlington, N. J.—Breakfast in the dining hall at St. Mary's hall was brought to an abrupt end. Two cats that have been mascots among the fair young students at the college for the last five years had outgrown their usefulness and the jaritor was ordered to dispatch them. With enough chloroform to have killed 100 cats they were fastened in 24 hours, then enough to give its burial it started the girls at breakfast table, who had previously learned of the feline tragedy. The cat was allowed to clean itself of the superfluous soil it had collected in emptying its own grave, and if it is made to give up another life it will be under the supervision of the class in anatomy. Washington.—Akonia is the name of a newly discovered substance which, mixed with water and used for sprinkling, will prevent dust rising from streets. Consul George Horton, of Piraeus, Greece, formerly of Chicago, says the substance is used there, and is effective. He has been unable to learn the chemical composition of akonia, but the mayor of Piraeus told him that one ton of akonia dissolved in 600 gallons of water would sprinkle a 30-foot roadway for a third of a mile so effectively that no dust whatever would rise from it, either from the wind or from travel. As used in Piraeus, the street is gone over a second time in 15 days after the first sprinkling with one-fourth of a ton of akonia dissolved in 400 gallons of water. The akonia forms a coating over the street. It is being experimented with on the highways of London and on the roadways of the continent of Europe. Emperor to Travel The emperor of China is talking of going abroad. Perhaps the dowager empress has been looking in his hand and informing him that he is going on a long journey.

The mission of the colored newspapers should be to emphasize and heighten the strong points of the race, and not be eternally "harping" up the weak points. As to Dr. Gordon, we think he little needs the defense of the Bee. If so let the Bee do so without attacking Dr. Moore and others for treating Dr. Gordon as a brother. We think Prod. Moore's action if for nothing else inviting Dr. Gordon to dine with him was a pretty good method to pursue in order to learn if Dr. Gordon was actually guilty of possessing the views of Negrophobia as charged. What can be the object of the Bee in hitting Dr. Moore? Has Dr. Moore belied his attitude in the controversy in any manner? As to the Bee's stinging proclivities that's the trouble at issue. The stinging is too promiscuous. The Bee would accomplish more were its powers more concentrated. A man who will take a gun and shoot in all directions, regardless of aim or object, is a mighty dangerous individual to be at large. The Bee's first duty is to find out who neds the stinging at Howard University and then "peg" away. The colored man has few to defend him at the best. There are plenty of able colored men and Howard University should have one for its President. Our esteemed contemporary is ignorant of the facts of the disagreement between the president of Howard University and certain members of his faculty. In the first place, there is incompetency among the faculty of Howard University. In the second place there is personal pique to be satisfied and in the third and competence there is University be that it did not found out that Dr. Gordon was not the proper man to be at the head of Howard University. Now, as to Prof. Moore. Certainly our able contemporary is mistaken when he says that The Bee attacks Prof. Moore unjustly. Now let The Bee and the Hornet talk at a distance for a few moments. Because The Bee makes honey for the millions, while the Hornet builds sets in trees and stings the guilty as well as the innocent. The Bee has honey for its friends and stings for its enemies. Dr. Moore, declared that Dr. Gordon was an unfit man to be at the head of Howard University; that he would not invite him to his house, etc. This he said to The Bee. The Bee reports a swell reception given by Dr. Moore and his sweet little wife. Dr. Gordon was one of the honorable guests. If the Hornet should say that one of its neighbors is unfit for it to associate with and the following week this neighbor is seen at the Hornet's swell reception, what ought the community to say? Now, will our contemporary explain? Suppose the foreman of the Hornet's printing once should persuade the printers to rebel against the editor, what would he do under the circumstances? Suppose the editor of the Hornet, upon investigation, found that he had several incompetent printers in his office and he attempted to remove them, and several outsiders interfered. What would the editor of the Hornet do? The Bee is only asking for fair play for a man who has been misrepre- sented. Just at this time Dr. Gordon needs a defense, although he is capable of defending himself. The Hornet may know what is going on in Maryland; it knows nothing A HAPPY NEW YEAR. The Washington Bee wishes the nation a Happy New Year. It closes its account with the old year on the square. It has been well supported by the citizens of Washington to a surprising extent. The business firms of this city have a liberal patronage for which it is thankful. The readers of the Bee can testify to this from the great number of advertisements that have appeared in the paper during the year. Its twenty-fifth anniversary which took place June 10th last was an evidence of the esteem in which the paper is held by the greatest men in the United States, irrespective of party, persons or religious creed. The Bee has endeavored to be fair to all, although it may have offended many, no paper can please every one. The editor who attempts to do so is not honest to himself. A public journal should commend those acts and measures that are for the public good and condemn such wrongs that are injurious to a community or to a people. The Bee for 1906 will be an improvement over publication of former years. It shall advocate men and not party, principles and men who are representatives of principles. It will deal with men as American citizens and not as individuals of any particular race. The Bee shall endeavor to point out the wrongs of all parties and all men as the representatives of these parties. The Bee believes in manhood rights in any race or people. It is opposed to the trimmers and the apologists. Both are the evils of good citizenship and good government. No man can successfully lead a people whose ambition is to deceive those whom he claims to represent. The year of 1905 has been a most remarkable one for the conviction of those who have defrauded the government. President Roosevelt has been vigorous in the prosecution of men who have been dishonest to the government and slow in enforcing the constitutional provisions that protect a certain class of his fellow citizens. He has he abolition of harmful black allies has not been forgotten and neither is it overlooked. The vacillating attitude by some men has brought destruction to the great negro race. The removal of one negro from office and the appointment of another and the removal of other negroes in the South and the appointment of white men, and in many instances Democrats, have rebuked a race that has been loyal, patriotic and patient. What the year of 1906 will bring forth for the negro we can only judge by the past. The negro cannot be too careful in looking out for his material welfare. He must exercise more independence and more manhood. He must be greateful to those who are kind to him, irrespective of politics or religion. He must consider on this ground; that is, that he is an American citizen. Let politics be an incident and not the direct object of his citizenship. Let him be loyal to his government and obedient to the laws of the land. Let him protect his women, see that he doesn't put himself in a position to be lynched by interfering with others. If these precepts are followed in 1906, the outrages of 1905 will pass away into oblivion. Thanking our friends for their confidence, aid and respect, the Bee wishes one and all a Happy New Year. THE NORTH SURPRISED ful authority of Howard University. The negro is losing ground in the educational world. Dr. Purvis well said that the recent revolt at Howard University was due to irresponsible individuals at Howard University. The men who are responsible for the uprising have nothing to lose. They have no responsibility whatever and the students who walked out had everything to lose. They have lost the confidence of the northern people who have been and are now the friends of the negro. Had it not been for the good northern people the negro today would be in bondage. The existence of Howard University is due to the white people of this country and not the negro. It is an institution for all races, irrespective of color or previous condition. When the negro talks about advocating the appointment of a colored man for president of the institution he doesn't know what he is talking about Howard University is no more a negro institution than a white institution. The northern people have become disgusted; Congress is dissatisfied and if the appropriation is withdrawn from the institution, how many negro churches will support it and how long will these churches continue to contribute towards its support? These are the questions that will confront the colored race. It is not believed by the intelligent people in this country that the trustees of Howard University will permit a rebellious spirit to exist at that institution. It is not believed that any member of a faculty will be permitted to retain his position who would be a party to exciting his students to riot and confusion. The first question that should be taken up by the investigating committee should be the resignation of Dr. Gordon and disposed of by not accepting it. The next question should be, Was there a revolt among the students of Howard University? If so, who started it and for what reason? more acquainted with the condition of affairs at Howard University than Dr. Purvis. There is no man in the medical profession better acquainted with the condition of affairs at Howard University than Dr. Purvis. He has seen negro institutions rise and fall. He has been faithful to the colored man. His father before him was an abolitionist. When Dr. Purvis was surgeon in charge of the Freedman's Hospital he never turned a negro down. No matter what his faults may have been, he was loyal to the black man. There should be great weight to what he says. He knows what he is talking about. The North is surprised and insulted. The negro had better retrace his steps. The medical department, the strongest in the University, wants Dr. Gordon retained. Nineteenth of the entire negro population of the United States are with Dr. Gordon against rebellion. It is hoped that the board of trustees will do its duty and remove the obstructions and refuse to accept the resignation of Dr. Gordon. The best interest of the University demands it. The welfare of the colored people in this country demands it. The Bee begs leave to say that nineteenth of the people in this city don't indorse the action of the students. There is no victory for rebellions. No sensible man would indorse an unjust revolt. Inane people will advocate insane acts: SENATOR CULLOM'S BILL The bill introduced in the Senate Senator Cullom of Illinois, is i without a full investigation a copy of the charges presented to the accused. No irresponsible individual should be considered in his charges against a public school teacher. All charges should be sworn to and inhales of the witnesses should occupy all charges against a teacher. The superintendent and his assistants should be elected by the people and not appointed. Senator Cullom should insert a provision in his bill to place all the colored schools under the superintendency of a competent colored man. He should be given exclusive jurisdiction over the colored schools. After a teacher has successfully taught for a number of years he should be pensioned. He has given the best portion of his single life to the education of the youth. Senator Cullom should not overlook the fact that teachers should be permitted to marry. What objections can be raised against a teacher marrying. The morals of the schools will be better. The Bee cannot see why men are permitted to marry and females are prohibited. Females should not be restricted any more than males. If it is good for men to marry, it is equally as good for the women. Male teachers should be compelled to marry. There should be embodied in Senator Cullom's bill a provision making it obligatory for ill teachers in the public schools, males and females, to marry. What does a normal school graduate know about the training of children? She is not much more than a child when she enters the normal school. Too much cannot be done for a public school teacher. He should be supported in his work and protected under all circumstances against unjust and unwarrantable attacks. The teachers of this city are the best in the United States. They are more abused and more misrepresented than any other class of public servants. There are some features in Sinai. NEWSPAPER BEATS. It is strange that people who subscribe for newspapers and often have read them for weeks and months, and the moment the collector calls for the subscription he is either told that the bill is wrong or call again, or why did you allow the bill to get so high. These beats finally conclude that it is easier to have their paper discontinued than to pay an honest subscription bill. We have another class of beats The subscribers who have suggestions to make and if you refuse to adopt them they want their paper discontinued. They have taken your paper for a number of months, and they begin to find fault with it the moment that the collector presents his bill. Another class of beats and those whose names seldom or never appear in your paper. They become angry if their neighbors' names appear and their names do not. This foolishness only obtains among colored people. Some of them would rather see their names in print than to read an article in their defense. Now the old year is about to disappear and a number of subscribers for The Bee have not as yet paid the collector. He will make his appearance again; in the event that he cannot reach you, will those who are indebted to the company call or send to the office. Let each and every subscriber take this notice to himself and send to the office the amount of his subscription. Don't delay. The new year is about to appear and before it does, will you be honest enough to send your subscription to the office. The presents were numerous and handsome. The flowers used in decorating were sent by Mr. John Thomas of New York city. The bride's bouquet was the gift of Miss Sallie Barry and Mr. Emanuel Murray had charge of the refreshments, of which there was an abundance. Among the presents from out-of-town friends was a complete case of Rogers' flat silver from the son of the couple, Mr. Fred L. Delaney, of Atlantic City. The Masonic fraternity of 10th street, N. W., have instituted a new lodge of the Order, week before last. Chairman Babcock introduced in the House Monday a bill for compulsory education for all children in the District of Columbia. The Treasury Department has discovered a new counterfeit $10 note of the Buffalo series of 1901. In the portrait the left eye has a decided cast upward. Bat Masterson will not be the president's bodyguard. The new man will be Stephen Connell, a cool, level-braved secret service man. Miss Florence B. Alexander, of the Patent Office, in seven hours and a half copied on the typewriter 32,000 words. William Randolph Hearst has started a Christmas fund with $1,000. The fund so far is pushing $2,000. Take Mother Eve for instance. It was her unselfishness (as well as her weakness) that brought so much trouble to women. If she had been Irish and eaten the apple that the serpent induced her to take, Adam would have taken his own apple and then he couldn't have blamed Eve for his weakness. ITEMS ON THE WING Masonry knows no bounds from East to West, North to South, the highest heavens to the lowest depths. It sheds light. The lessons taught are a belief in the Supreme Grand Architect of the Universe and love for our fellow man and good citizenship. It is here that we find allegories and symbols, the mystic laws of God and nature. A house divided against itself can never prosper. The Masonic Order is next door to the Christian Church and if nine tenths of the craft right here in the District of Columbia would observe and follow the 133d Psalm, the 7th chapter of Amos and the 12th chapter of Ecclesiastics there would be no splits of factions, etc. but instead the spirit of peace and morality would prevail. In view present attitude of the white states, awards the negro of the Upholish in the negro Masons are yet take due maintaining split fac notice. While the nave chill about the man having a coent on the part of his white nier of then we look the matter over broth that the colored brother to a wist extent stands in his own light. As long as the white man of the United States knows and sees the negro continuously fighting among each other, he will continue to pursue the course of action now followed. When the negro learns to be a man and stands as a man, he will be respected by the white man of the United States as a man. The first great step is the unification act. The next step is race pride, education, followed by business and money qualifications. (We rest here.) This laughing and grinning in each other's face and then applying the knife is what does the work. United efforts, mutual benefits, should be the watchword of the negro of the 20th century. A bill will be presented to Congress to amend section 7 of the code of laws for the District of Columbia, to provide for the procurement of warrants by police or private citizens at all times. London, Nov.—The inmates of the St. George's workhouse, Southwark, have made 11,464 useful articles of clothing during the last twelve months while at the same time repairing some 600 articles. The industry saved the taxpayers a substantial sum of money. We can agree with Bishop Turner, but with one exception, viz., the negro migrating to Africa. The negro of the United States wants to remain right here and fight it out. The white man of the United States brought the negro here in 1620 and for over 250 years he got rich on the negro labor lands that this family has built. Do you know that education that the southern white could have held him in subjection? Now the main thing for the negro is unification, education, business and money—and stop the knife. Look out for Seville. The Amphion Glee Club, Prof. J. Henry Lewis, director, returned here from Philadelphia, Pa., this morning.

While both are young, they have each already won first honour wherever they have appeared.

The word is going down the Y. M. P. L. contemplates giving a voluntary smoker—the best news I have heard for some time. All the organizations are beginning to prepare for the annual sermons of 1906. Boys, when you subscribe for the paper and get the paper, don't get angry and cut it off. Pay for it and if it suits you continue, or in other words, if you love me then love my dog. A certain doctor in the West End, by the way a M. D. is just what he is and nothing more. Go on, Doctor, all the good thinking people are with you. Some people are not true to anybody. What you say today say tomorrow. Now let's be good. Mr and Mrs. Walter J. Singleton called on Mr. and Mrs. Arthur F. Boston last Monday night, and had a delightful time.

The Base Ball House, 1528 7th street, is one of the most popular places of business in the city. There are places that claim to surpass this house for pure whiskey, but the concensus of opinion is among those who have good tastes that the BASE BALL HOUSE under the management of W. J. Donovan PETER H. is unequalled. This house is known to have the purest and best whiskies in the market. His excellent selections are made with care. The patron's health is more important than anything else, hence W. J. Donovan makes it a business to purchase the purest and the best wines and liquors the market affords. HIS COLUMBIA CLUB.
