The University & Ohio railroad has less accidents than any road in the United States and this is on account of its proper service and competent men connected with it. THL. SECOND BAPTIST LYCEUM. Hispot Holsey's View on Race Segregation." L. Shop L. H. Holsey's famous speech Race Segregation," made at the time of the Sociological Conference, in the city two years ago, formed the basis of a very able address by Prof. Jost Lawson, at the Lyceum of the Second Baptist Church last Sunday after Hm Jno. P. Green, the president as in the chair. A solo entitled "The Angels Sing That Happy Morn," written and set to music by Prof. S. M. Francis, a musical composer of some note, was well reitered by that gentleman, and enthused actually received by the audience. In beginning his address, Prof. Lawson declared that the subject he now proposed to discuss was a serious one. He would not, therefore, attempt to amuse audience. He was going to present the facts to them plainly and instead the hearers to look the situation quietly in the face. If they had been sleeping he urged upon them to sleep no longer. Prof. Lawson then read several extracts from Bishop Holsey's great speech. Bishop Hosley's first reason for race segregation, viz: that "The infinite volume of racial prejudice makes it impossible for the two separate and distinct races to live together in the same territory in haronious relations, each demanding equal political rights and citi- OF THE BALTIMORE & OHIO R. R. zenship," and his method of segregating the races was the main feature of the address. The negro's last representative in Congress, said Prof. Lawson, disappeared some time ago. He now has one representative on the national committee, and ere the next four years roll around, the negro will have been entirely eliminated from politics! He must confess that the picture as drawn by Bishop Holsey, and as it appeared to him, is dark. He would leave it to the audience, however; to say whether the picture was overdrawn, and he would not attempt to say whether the Bishop was right or wrong in his solution. In his rejoinder to criticisms made upon the segregation idea in the general discussion, Prof. Lawson, however, took a decided stand with the Bishop, arguing that unrestricted political privileges would come to the negro, by reason of such racial segregation. He, therefore, thought it would be a good thing. Those participating in the general discussion were: Mr. J. T C. Newsom, Mr. Hunt and Mr. Malbrey. Next Sunday afternoon Rev. S. L. Corrothers. The public is cordially invited COMING APPOINTMENTS It is reported that the president will in a few days make the following appointments. These are all "Bookerites" and no other need apply: T. Thomas Fortune will probably go abroad if he can find a place agreeable. S. Long Williams, of Chicago, will in all probbability come to this city as an Auditor of Chief of Division. Ex-Recorder H. P. Cheatham is not favored by Boss Washington, hence it is doubtful, about him. Mr. James C. Napier, of Tennessee, a brilliant lawyer and son-in-law of the late John M. Longster wanted to be Register of the Treasury and since he didn't get that he will decline all other appointments, except Recorder of Decds. The colored republicans of New Jersey are dissatisfied and will no doubt rebel. There is a division in New Jersey. Attorney Albert S. Cosey is the boss republican in the state among colored men. He is being urged for Assistant Attorney General. There are a few sattelites in this city, who want to be Recorder of Deeds, but their records will not stand the search-light. The local Business League will wine and dine the boss in February. Theer are a number of the bread and butter brigade connected with this organization. They will sit very near the boss at the coming function. This will be the largest affair in the history of the organization. There are several applicants for Assistant United States District Attorney. It is not certain whether the boss can pull it off or not. This will be discussed at a private conference after the banquet. President Lunkford is not after a job himself but he has a few friends who are anxious to serve Uncle Sam. The local bread and butter brigade awaits the coming of Boss Washington. AT TUSKEGEE Tuskegee, Ala., Jan. 17, 1806. The bishops of the African Zion Methodist Church are holding a conference here. Bishop G.W. Clinton is presiding. It is one of the largest conferences ever held in this section by such distinguished men. Wh i Saw and heard Wh i Saw and heard My friend Judson W.-Lyons, the national committeeman from Georgia is to be retired in March. It is surprising to the politicians why Mr. Lyons should be deprived of a third term, when the United States Marshal for the District of Columbia was made an exception. There are some negro politicians in Georgia very happy now. When President Roosevelt was a candidate for reelection he sent for Register Lyons and asked him if he cound do a certain thing; if he cound not, he, the president wanted to know. What he wanted done was very objectionable to Mr. Lyons and the Georgia politicians. Yet, Mr. Lyons-consented to do it. He acted in good faith, but it did not prevent the register's removal. Dr. Washington would like to help a few of his hungry supporters in this town, but he cannot. Edw. Cooper got by without the aid of the Wizard, although Cooper stood alone in this town for him. Col. Carson says that the renowned report that he is to be married to a Maryland belle is false. The Col. says that he is too old to think about taking a young wife at his age, which is seventy. It is as much as he can do to take care of himself said the black oak of the Potomac. He further said that he was one of the men who refused to endorse the ex-detective. There several broken-down politicians in town who are anxious for the endorsement of the Wizard. The moment he comes to town dozens of the boys hunt him up and plead to him for help. The Wizard is not in the endorsing humor now. Editor Fortune, of the New York Age, finds that an eight page paper is an expensive article. Editor Fortune gives his readers a good paper and they don't appreciate it. Ex-editor Leatherwood has about completed setting up his pie. His ten thousand subscription list was a myth. Brother Leatherwood is now convinced that all that glitters is not gold. When he lives in this town long enough he will understand the Washington people. The Board of Trustees of Howard University will select a new president for Howard in June. Just who it will be it is not wise to state at this time. However, it will be a man who will see that the teachers do their duty. There is to be a re-organization of the University. Rehellion will not be endorsed at the University, although Dr. Gordon has resigned. There are more hopes of the colored Masons uniting. There are a few holding office who seem to prevent a consolidation. There is no reason for a continued division among colored Masonry. There is a split in the colored Elks. The office seekers, as usual, and the "grafters" are the cause of the division. The theatre doors will be open at 7 o'clock, and between the hours of 7 and 8 music will be furnished by the orchestra of the theatre. Seats will not be reserved after 7.45 o'clock. No collection will be taken and no admission will be charged. Those who desire reserved seats can procure them from William F. Downey, chairman of the committee on arrangements; Gen. S. S. Yoder, chairman of committee on printing; Cotter T. Bride, chairman committee on speakers; William A. Watson, assistant sergeant-at-arms of the House of Representatives; William W. Bride, chairman committee on ushers. As we stated before, a newspaper cannot be run on wind. Our collector is now making his rounds. Please pay up, we need the money. (We only mean those who owe us.)

General Keifer Planning to Interest the North in Reducing the South's Representation in Congress. A campaign of education in favor of reduction of the representation of Southern States in Congress and the electoral college has been planned by General J. Warren Keifer, Representative from Ohio. General Keifer and those interested with him contemplate a series of mass meetings in Northern cities, the first to be held at Cooper Union, New York. General Keifer is now working on the details of the reduction bill he expects to introduce, and he declares he has substantial support for it in Congress. He feels, however, such a campaign of education as he proposes is necessary to properly attract the attention and insure the support of the Northern States. THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD MR ALEXANDER D. WATSON. THE MOST SUCCESSFUL HEAD WAITER IN THE COUNTRY "Negroes need leadership and the leaders must be educated," declared Rev. John Gordon, D. D., former president of Howard University, in an address to the Men's Club of the Universalist Church Tuesday night. The institution of which Dr. Goroon was at the head is one for negroes, and dissatisfied with his discipline, the students a short time ago started a revolt in the chapel, resulting in great disorder, after which he resigned. Dr. Gordon made no reference to Howard University or the incident in his remarks. "There must be negro colleges and universities before there are negro common schools," he said. "Highest education for the leaders will swing the ignorant class into line and serve to uplift the race. Crime is attributed to ignorance. In communities where there is no figure head, there is more transgression. Will Follow the Leaders. "Where there are smart, well-educated negroes, there is a noticeable trend toward their wake. There must be an example. One of the greatest fields for work among the line of civilization is in the education of the negro, especially the Southern negro. "Colleges of the highest standard and universities equal to those of the white race must come to the rescue of the negro. There must be perfect education before there is perfect success. We are taught to believe this when we observe the conditions from an everyday standpoint." Seeking a New President. The trustees of Howard University met yesterday afternoon and appointed a committee to seek a new president. The committee is composed of Judge Barnard, F. H. Smith, Gen. O. O. Howard, John F. Cooke and Francis J. Grimke. So far, no names have been considered to fill the vacancy, and few have been suggested. It is expected there will be a head decided upon within the next month. Reports that Dr. Hamlin had called the committee to investigate the cause of the trouble which prompted Dr. Gordon's resignation, were emphatically denied by Dr. Hamlin. He says there will be no investigation of any nature pertaining to Dr. Gordon. DR JAMES E. SHEPARD NEXT SUNDAY AT THE Y. M. C. A. Dr. James E. Shepard, who is now regarded as one of the foremost platform speakers in this country, will speak at the Young Men's Christian Association on Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Dr. Shepard is the secretary of the International Sunday School Association for the colored people. He is the only negro occupying such a position and represents all the denominations with the great association. He believes that a practical religious education based upon good morals will do more to lift the race than anything else. Every young man in Washington should hear this famous platform speaker. Dr. James E. Shepard, accompanied by his private secretary, will arrive in the city today. Mr. Alexander D. Watson Mr. Alexander D. Watson The subject of this sketch, Mr. Alexander D. Watson, one of the organizers of the Waiters and Ex-waiters Mutual Relief Association of this city, was born in Upper Marlboro, Prince George Co., Md. and came to Washington in 1879, where he has since resided. At the temporary organization of the association he was chosen as its temporary chairman, being one of the three original founders. June, 1904 a permanent organization was effected when Mr. Watson was elected the charter president, to which office he has been twice re-elected; the total membership being at that time 208. September 3. 1904, the association was incorporated under the laws of the District of Columbia governing beneficial societies. He has been of great benefit in largely building up the association in membership and his influence has resulted in solidifying its membership to such an extent it is conceded that the association is a fixture and from all indications will rank among the strong and healthy institutions in the city. His affability and dignified bearing together with his congenial disposition makes him a very agreeable associate and acceptable officer. He is a waiter of reputation and renown, having been headwaiter at the Riggs House and other hotels, including Long Beach Hotel, Long Island, N. Y. He is now employed as one of the first waiters in Harvey's Hostelry, whose reputation for preparing and serving terrapin and oysters in its several styles and other deep sea food is world-wide. The following is a statement of the receipts and expenses for the first year of the existence of the association: Receipts $2,218.25; expenses $1,314.51. since its organization it has settled death claims for nine of its members, besides four wives and two-widowed mothers. They boast of having nearly $1,000 in the treasury. The benefits are as follows: Sick dues, $4.00 per week for twelve weeks; death benefits $150 and $25 for death of wife or widowed mother. An admission fee of $5.00 is required for all applicants, who shall be of sound health and mind and possessing a good moral character and must be between the ages of 18 and 50 years, providing he has secured a certificate from one of the association's physicians. Mr. Watson was also proprietor of Watson Park situated on Glen Echo railroad, Glen Echo, Md, and one of the organizers and directors of the Co-operative Mercantile and Investment Company of this city. Mr. Watson is one of the most enterprising men in the city. Our old friend, Edward Broughen- burough, was buried last week. Deceaser was well known in the city. For a number of years he was in the U. S. Treasury Department. He was a special officer. M. P. prominent in secret orders and at one time a commissioned officer of the Washington Cadet Corps. Rest in peace.

Shall Cremated Corpse Pay Same Rate for Carriage as Body in Coffin? Paris.—A curious case now before a French tribunal invokes a point which has not yet come up for legal settlement. A certain New York doctor, whose name thus far is withheld, recently accompanied a wealthy western American to Italy, where his patient after a lingering illness died. In order to avoid the trouble and formalities of carrying the body to the United States in a coffin the doctor on his own authority had the corpse cremated. The ashes were placed in a small urn, which was then packed carefully and shipped as ordinary freight on which he paid the usual tariff according to weight. The doctor landed on the American side all right, but the steamship company discovered his secret and demanded the price of carrying a dead body in a coffin, which amounts to nearly $150 more than the doctor paid for the urn's transportation. This he refused and the case must be decided at Paris, since it was at a French port that the urn was shipped. The impression here is that the company will lose the case. TO DUPLICATE EVERY GUN. Precaution That Is Deemed Necessary by the Naval General Board. Washington.—Every gun in the navy will have its duplicate to guard against any emergency and accident, if the recommendation of the naval chief of ordnance is carried out. The naval general board, it is believed, thoroughly approves of it, and consequently the naval estimates to go before the next congress may contain a formidable item to cover the cost of producing the new guns. Such accidents as have happened in recent years, particularly to the big turret guns of the battleships, would compel the ship to go into action in disabled condition or be laid up for months in a navy yard. The idea is to keep spare guns in stock at convenient points to immediately replace the damaged ones. Growth of Things Out West A correspondent of the Checotah (L. 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 look twice in the same place. The boy is living on nothing but raw corn and already has thrown down over four bushels of cobs." Decorated Chef. King Edward's chef, M. Menager, was among those to receive birthday, honor on the occasion of his majesty's recent birthday. He is believed to be among the most accomplished chefs in the world. He was decorated with the Victorian medal. Other recipients of that distinction are understood to feel that in conferring the medal on a cook King Edward has rather cheapened the honor.

Harmony Department, No. 71, meet John Burns, Noted Englishman, Absolutely Unchanged, by Appointment of British Premier. London. John Burns, member of the house from Battersea, who has chosen president of the local government board in the new British cabinet, is one of the most vigorous personalities in the British parliament and is public life to-day. The secret of Mr. Burns' power is his sincerity. It was the great dock stratec.mf.1859 which first thought understanding of the real John Burns, who, before that time, had been known to most people as a man of nature sim. A. (President of Local Government Board in New British Cabinet.) llam to that of Jack Cade. His own particular friends and adhorents, all along, had recognized in the "demagogue" and "agitator" of the working-men's clubs one of the strongest and healthiest forces of the day. Then came the historic fight for the dockers' "tanner," when Burns' straw hat became as an oriflame in the fray. Since then it has been generally admitted that no man in all England exercises such influence over the working classes or speaks with more authority in their behalf than John Burns. His career has been irreproachable, and except Keir Hardle and some others of his former labor associates no one has uttered a word of anything except commendation of his high personal character and deserved success For years Mr. Burns has lived in a small workingman's house in Battersea, with his handsome wife and only son, on an allowance of $450 a year made to him by the Amalgamated Society of Engineers. Now, suddenly he has jumped into an income of $10,000 a year, but his mode of life remains absolutely unchanged. He went to Buckingham palace to be sworn in as a member of the king's privy council and to kiss the royal hand our acceptance of the cabinet office of president of the local government board dressed in his invariable dark-blue serge reefer suit, black derby hat and gloveless hands, carrying neither cane nor umbrella. The king welcomed him with especial cordiality and told him he hoped his objection to wearing court costumes would never prevent him from obeying royal commands to court entertainments. That night the premier, Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, gave a cabinet dinner and John Burns, who never possessed or had any ambition to possess an evening suit, sat down in his usual reefer. NEW OREGON SENATOR. John M. Gearin of Portland Appointed to Succeed Mitchell—Was Born in a Prairie Schooner. Portland, Ore.—John M. Gearin, on whose shoulders the senatorial toga of the late Senator John M. Mitchell has fallen, is an Oregonian by birth and breeding. The prairie schooner in C. X. JOHN M. GEARIN. (Appointed by Governor of Oregon to Boo- ceed Late Senator Mitchell) which his parents came to this state in 1854 was standing on the banks of the Umatilla river when John was born, having tarried there for that event. The boy lived on a farm until he was 12, when he went to school in San Francisco, finishing his education at Notre Dame college, Indiana. He comes of democratic lineage and has followed in the steps of his forbears. He is a lawyer, a member of the firm which has already, furnished three United States senators for Oregon, and which announces that it is in a position to supply the demand for a long time to come. He has been city attorney, member of the state legislature district attorney, and candidate for congress against Blinger Hermann. In 1993 he was appointed special prosecutor by President Cleveland in the important smuggling cases, here.

New York.—One of the most ancient and picturesque survivals in New York is the Volunteer Firemen's association. It is composed exclusively of members of the New York Volunteer Fire department. Here, amid innumerable reliefs of days gone by, its members meet, keep alive old friendships and once again enjoy, in spirit, the exhitation of many a lively "run." The New York Volunteer Fire department was disbanded 40 years ago, and as there were at that time practically none of its members under the age of 25, there are now no members of the association less than 65 years of age, while the majority of them have passed their eighteenth milestone. The membership in 1884 was 2,700, but as the years have rolled away the membership has grown smaller and smaller, until now it numbers but 350. The first fire company in New York was organized in 1737, with a complement of 24 men, and the engines of the same type as the before mentioned, though with many modifications and improvements and much more ornamental, were in use from that time until the advent of the Philadelphia engines in 1840. In the early days horses were not used; instead the sturdy firemen dragged their engines, which latterly welghed as much as 6,000 pounds, over the rough cobblestones. But in the excitement of the frantic fervor to be the first to reach the fire, or at best to pass the company just ahead, that "tired feeling" was a thing unknown to the volunteer fireman. Many were the tricks, and many the squabbles in consequence, of the effort to pass a rival in the race. When a company owning a brand new engine or hose cart, concerning which it felt a pardonable pride as to her capabilities, was "passed" by two or three rival com- ANCIENT FIRE ENGINE (Built in 1755 and in Use for Over 19 Years) ANCIENT FIRE ENGINE (Built in 1855 and in Use for Over 19 Years) panies on her first trip to a fire it was the talk of the town for days. In addition to having various complete engines on view here, one sees all around remains of old favorites, in the shape of decorated backs of engines, and also several beautifully executed models of engines and apparatus used by the foreman and his assistant in giving orders at a fire. They played a very important part in the proceedings, and have the post of honor on the front of the fireman's cap of to-day. An interesting report bearing date of 1812 hangs on the wall, in one of the rooms, entitled, "Return of the engines, hook and ladder companies their apparatus, places of deposit, condition, etc., together with the names of the engineer and foreman." Among other relies which adorn the walls is Old Glory, which was saved from the fire which destroyed Barnum's museum in 1865. Speaking of Barnum's brings to mind an amusing incident which occurred there once in connection with Engine No. 40 Barnum's manager, having noticed how well certain members of that company had gone through some military evolutions, thought it would be an excellent idea to get them to perform some of their tactics on the stage in connection with a play he was producing, entitled, "The Patriot's of '76." The "boys" accepted the proposition, deciding to apply the proceeds toward helping certain of their comrades who were out of work. The eventful evening arrived for their debut. There were about 30 of them in various characters, some dressed as Hessians and Continentals, others as Indians, while one of them impersonated the famous "Molly" Pitcher. In the middle of a most exciting act, the city hall fire bell rang. Their foreman, who was acting with them, yelled: "Boy's there's a fire in the Seventh district!" The words were hardly out of his mouth before the 30 revolutionary soldiers, Indians, etc., were off the stage, and rushing up Broadway for their engine with which they soon returned to the screen of the fire. With "Molly" Pitcher at the head of the rope, a stalwart Indian brave flourishing a speaking trumpet and a miscellaneous collection of revolutionary soldiers tugging at the rope, a more motley crowd was never seen on Broadway before or since. The first steam fire engine was seen in New York about 1841, but it was not a success. Its great weight militated against it. It took half an hour after reaching a fire to get it started, and something generally broke down soon after it was in action. Then again, there was the inevitable opposition to an innovation of that kind, so that it was not until some years after that the steam fire engine was formally adopted by the department. i i Ziccieeinnimaammnianamanmmmenaene: gummi Liisi ii lp - a | jLTIMORE AND OHIO | Br RATLRO AD. pare SUTTER, New Jersey ave & Cat.

There ts aot a grave in it, and every burial in it has marked « tragedy in ebb. a life was jost. It is the old cametery of the Illl- nols Steel company, in which, until re- ‘cently, It "gat to rest” those who lost ‘thelr Iivea in the molten metal in the “great steel works that line the lake a ‘Uttle farther to the northwest—across the state line. Those buried in this cem- etery did, in fact, pass through dissolu- tion. Their bodies were completely lost —dissolved in the molten metal and practically no trace was left of them. ‘The funerals that have taken place In this cemetery have not been marked by any processions behind hearses—in fact, there has been no need of hearses, ‘The metal in which the-workers have Jost their lives has been run off {nto great Ingots, which hare been hauled out and set up facing the white breakers of the lake, In some Instances the metal that has been run off has been cast with slag which makes a more imposing and better weathering monument, the metal being given to discoloration while the stone-Ike slag, for a number of years at least, looks like cast stone, There is probably no cemetery in the state of which so little is known, unless it be the pecullar Rapplte burial incloa- ure at New Harmony. The Illinols Steel company is not inclined to talk about it; as a ri.e, the people who lose thelr lives in this manner are foreigners, and have no family or close friends to keer record. But for the sentiment of fellow. workers who have insisted that at leas! some of the metal in which their fellow: gaa ie | cen a Nth ey fg ea Y ish A i NO .ONE OF THE BIG INGOTS. worker lost his life be thus run off to mark passing, It 1s probable there would be no cemetery of this kind. The cemetery began about three or four years ago, when a man named Reynolds fell into one: of the open- hearth pots. It is sail that hfs fellow workers Insisted that some of the metal be run off and set up somewhere [in his memory. The company at that tine was filling in part of tho lake front, just over the Indiana Ifne, and it was decided to set up the ingot there~it would help to make the fill anyway. This was done ard the new cemetery was begun. Several others who have met thelr fate In a similar manner, {t Is sald, were thus remembered. From the first there has never been a grave dug ta j the cemetery. Just how many are thus “buried” no one seems to know, but there are probably eight or ten. No markers have ever been put up. ‘Though the Ingots are on top of a great fill, made with cast slag from the furnaces, the location of the un: usual cemetery ts striking. Situated near the {ndlana-Illinols state line, it 4s crowded in between the tracks of the many trunk lines to the east that hug the lake at this point and by the surf rolling in over the slag beach. The waves bit the southernmost point of the lake’ with considerable force and dash over breakwaters that have been extended out into the lake by the steel company. There Is always the mur- mur of the lapping waves, or the roar of the lashing whitecaps In rough weather. Recently the attention of the coun try was attracted to one of these pe- cullar “burials.” At one of the Penn sylvanta steel mills two men lost thelt lives in molten metal, being completely lost.

Pershing 1s a good officer and his record of achievement {a the Phil- Appine islands attracted the attention of the president. it was rumored a year ago that promotion was awaiting the Chicago man, but the fact that the senate held up for so long a time the nominations of Wood and Mills cauaed the president to hesitate to send In,the name of a cavalry captain whose ad- vancement would mean the fgnoring of all the veterans and hard fighters of the three ranks lotervening between the grade of captain and that of brigadier general. There Isn't an army officer in the service who has any criticism to past on Capt. Pershing personally. Mis rece ord speaks for Itself. But the officers are criticising sharply the known in- tention of President Roosevelt to con- tinue the practice of making promo- tlons by selection.

Under present conditions it would seem that the colored voter is a nonentity. He is buffeted about by the majority of the republican leaders and it seems to argue but small matter what becomes of him. Although he has demonstrated a party fidelity phenomenal, considering American political practices, yet he continues to be the object of ridicule; the object of charity and a thing unworthy the fair treatment accorded other members of the American body in politics. Notwithstanding this, the colored voter has stood for all that is best, most progressive and most thoroughly adapted to the genius of American institutions. He has shown no disposition to revolt when class-legislation, class-opression and class-crime have curtailed his civil rights, emasculated him politically and confirmed the powers of the hate prejudice into a crystalization of "Jim Crowism" and lynchings. He has kept in the even tenor of his way, imitating the best examples of American citizenship and emulating the highest types of Christian character. He has evinced a power of selection which even if erratic yet leaned on virtue's side. Accepting emancipation and reconstruction as sincere acts, prompted by the spirit of the brotherhood of man and the Fatherhood of God, he has been consistent in his endorsement of those who made them a fact and the ally of those who claimed to be their legitimate successors. No class of American citizens have been more faithful, more loyal, more consistent, more self-sacrificing, more charitable, more forgiving than have the colored citizens of this country. In war they have been valiant, in peace submissive and in everything loyal and true. The blood of the colored man has been shed for liberty and country in every war in which this nation has been engaged. And they have not only received but merited the unstinted praise of no less generals than Andrew Jackson, Benjamin Butler and U. S. Grant. Just why those in power and especially those who assumed to be the legitimate political representatives of Charles Summer, Ben Wade, Thaddeus Stevens, Owen Lovejoy, Roscoe Conkling, John Sherman, O. P. Morton and others who have done valiant service in the cause of right and justice now join the enemies of the colored man and wink at injustice and an attempt to undo what was contemplated, if not accomplished by the Civil War, is a matter which must puzzle every honest thinking man. There is probably more pandering to the spirit of Cecession today than there has been since the Civil War closed. The spirit of justice and fair-dealing has given place to motives and considerations of selfishness and commercialism. The old boast, "millions for defense but not a dollar for tribute," has been reversed and now everything and anything may be freely sacrifice for tribute to Southern hate, disloyalty and prejudice, while nothing is to be sacrificed for liberty justice and political and civil right But as the "blood of the martyr is the seed of the Church," so we hope that the loyalty of the coored people of this country to correct governments may be an expres In our present situation the question naturally arises, how shall the colored voter act in future? The answer is plain. There is only one way in which to act—namely, correctly and according to adopted ideals. What are these ideals? First is the universality of mind. However, it may be contended to the contrary, the fact still remains that as a rule, colored people think. It is possible that they possess intellectual powers not yet fully known to the masses of white people of this country. Notwithstanding they think that they think, because it is necessary to arrive at certain fixed states of moral, physical or intellectual development. Inview of the situation, what should the colored voter do, what must he do in order to gain his legitimate place in the body-politic? Under the present form of government the exponent and prime factor of the party is the president. Judging from the mutterings from every source it may be positively stated that the present incumbent while strenuous enough in certain lines is especially unstrenuous in other respects. But we are not inclined to criticize. It is enough to know that the present president will retire when his present term has expired. The important question to be answered is: Who of all the descendants of the "Old Guard" will transmit to posterity exactly what was entrusted to their care? Are we one American body-politic or are we two or more. But little is to be expected at present. The times, the man, the condition of birth, parentage and what not, preclude the hope of better days. But new men will arise for preferment. Who are they? How far will they go for right and justice? Will Mr. Root, who has already like Daniel Webster, sided with the enemies of liberty, be the Moses of the colored race? There are such men as Shaw, Foraker and Cannon, who might conspire up some enthusiasm among colored voters, certainly no man who will not give a "square deal" can hope to have the support of colored voters. And the colored voter is going North and it were well to remember that and remember it always. THE REPRESENTATIVE NEGRO. It is not surprising to see the white man rebuke the so-called representative negro. Clean men will appreciate a man who is opposed to dirt. The average representative negro in this city is persuaded by sentiment, no matter the crime or measure may be. If a white man commits an offense the so-called representative negro will not express any sympathy, he is removed from his position, but, he will say that it serves him right. Yet, you will see the representative negro manifest his sympathy by appealing to the authorities to save the negro because he is a colored man. In public meetings and everywhere the colored orator may be heard, you will hear him declare for civil and political rights and equality before the law. The colored orator will appeal for justice for his people and the moment justice is about to be meted out, he objects to its consummation. Has any man who is an officer of the law a right to expect sympathy when he has been given warning or if he commits a grave offense? Must his color be a bar to his condemnation, conviction and removal? The representative colored man, so-called, has but little stability. No man, black or white should be encouraged in wrong doing. The representative colored man is a peculiar individual. At every change of administration if a colored manolds a very good position, at least thousand other colored men imagine that they have claim on that place and they are never contented until they succeed in convicing the administration that they have a right to that place. The Bee is inslined to the belief that the best thing for place hinters is to learn rades; establish business enterprises and let office seeking be an incident and not the direct object of their ambition. Of course the colored man has the same right to apply for office as any one else and should he be successful in obtaining one, he should not conclude that he is to hold that office, if he commits an offense, because he is a colored man. The so-called educated negro is just as bad and just as sentimental as the ignorant colored man. If a colored man obtains an office, he should behave himself and he should not entertain the belief that he can do as he pleases and hold his office simply because he is a colored man. The Bee is one paper that knows the friendship of the more fortunate race for the colored race. The Bee is inclined to believe that a little discrimination against the negro will place him in a position to do more for his unfortunate brother. The negro has not been opposed as much as the Jews and many other nationalities. It is true, that he has been enslaved. Very many of them fared better than then they do now. And they would succeed better now, if they were not so sympathetic and selfish toward one another. The sooner they realize the fact that their color and nationality will be no bar to their punishment, for offenses committed, the better it will be for them. Let him realize his position and conclude that he is an American citizen and will be dealt with accordin to law. TWO BOSSES. The white people in this country have determined that the negro must recognize the leadership of Mr. Booker T. Wasfington. President Roosevelt has also decided that he doesn't intend to recognize any other leadership, notwithstanding the objections of ten millions of negroes. It makes no difference how objectional the teachings of Mr. Washington may be to the masses of colored people, the white people like it and are contributing their money by the millions to enable Mr. Washington to give the negro just such teachings as they believe they ought to have. All of this interest in the negro is peculiar and beyond comprehension. The negro is the most talked about individual in the world and the most objectionable to some of the white people. Then there two bosses in this country. Boss Roosevelt and Boss Washington. Boss Roosevelt knocks the white boss out and Boss Washington has been knocking out negro bosses. Boss-Roosevelt has been knocking out the white bosses ever since he succeeded to the presidency and the moment Boss Roosevelt came into power, boss Washington took up the colored end of it and has given negro leaders to understand that he is boss of the plantation. It is now reported that boss Washington has advised the president to appoint no more negroes to office in the South. What few colored men holding office South after the expiration of their term of service will have to retire. The lily-white republicans and democrats who object to the negro will take the place held by colored men. Boss Washington will be permitted to remain in the South and teach negroes how to work. The bread and butter brigade will not object to Booker. This brigade is in evidence the moment the Wizard comes to the city. The so-called representative negroes must be going insane. All they can see is the shadow of an office and promises in the future. President Roosevelt has informed Mr. Lyons that he is to be succeeded by another colored man. The Kansas delegation is responsible for this appointment. The charges against Prof. Vernan, it is said were not sustained. The moment Prof. Vernan arrives in town the so-called representative negroes in the city will beseige him with invitations to speak in every hole and corner in town. They will declare to boss Vernan that he is the great- WHO IS TO BLAME? THE BEE does not hold that all women are blameless. There are some women who have no respect for themselves and neither do they appreciate good society. The common woman is not considered in this article. Some of them have an idea that it is best to become common before they can become great. The girl who works out in service for her livelihood has great regard for her honor. It must not be presumed that the working girl is not entitled to respect and consideration. There is many an honest girl beneath tattered garments. We should not estimate the worth of a woman by the quality of her dress. We have known women to make sacrifices to maintain their honor. The bachelor who sees nothing good in women is after the wolf. The bachelor is the most dangerous individual in society. If he were true to himself he would marry. He is not only false to women and a leach in society, but he speculates and gambles in virtue, and when he catches the pair he wants he is never satisfied until he wins the game and makes the separation of his adversary. No woman should be condemned because she has met with a misfortune. Is she always to blame? In many cases the man baits the hook until he coaxes the fish and catches it. The fisherman never leaves the river until he catches something. A bachelor never travels the world over without a female companion and yet he never sees one good enough for him to marry. Existing conditions show that the colored man married or single, with but a few exceptions, has not the proper conception of married life. When his ambition is satisfied, he seeks to make other conquests. He hunts for other fields of clover. After having feasted to his satisfaction, he discards his land. He comes to the conclusion that his own fields are unfit for any more fertilizer. He tells every passer-by that the old house on yonder field and its surroundings are unfit for use. This is the conception of the worthless man's estimate of woman. The authorities in this city have the proper estimate of the character of the so-called negro representative. They have but little faith in their recommendations. Who is to blame? A SNAKE IN THE WEEDS. There is an unseen enemy somewhere in the public school agitation. There is a snake that is after stinging some one. The present board of education in our public schools cannot be improved, no matter what has been done that doesn't seem to please the snake in the weeds. There have been three different bills introduced in the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States tending to a reorganization of our public school system. One of these bills was introduced by Mr. Foster, the member of Congress from Maine. This is the most prejudiced bill that has, at present, been introduced. He not only subordinates the colored teachers, but he Jim Crows them. The District Commissioners promptly rejected the bill when it was sent to them for consideration. This bill wants the president to appoint the board of education and the superintendent, who is to be a white man. Mr. Foster was no doubt informed that there were eighty or ninety thousand colored people in this city and a large colored school population, which caused him to expand his conscience, so he offered a few amendments on his own responsibility and which provided for an assistant superintendent, who should be colored. Our commissioners are better informed as to what the schools need than the gentleman from Maine. If Congress will give the people the authority to elect their own school officers. The Berthinks that they could better select the men than either the President or the Board of Commissioners. The Berhas no fault to find with our Commissioners because they generally so THE NEGRO AND THE SOUTH. A New York contemporary is the authority for the statement that at the expiration of the terms of service of the southern colored Republicans who are holding office, the President intends to fill their places with white men. If this is true, the time has come in the history of the southern negro to make terms with those whom they have opposed to keep the Republican party in power. Just why the colored man will continue to be a fool The Bee cannot explain. The time for the colored man to strike is now. Let him no longer be persuaded by promises. STRIKE NOW AND STRIKE HARD. Political freedom should be the object of the colored man in every state. Let all cowards die the death of slaves, but let freedmen strike for liberty. HOWARD UNIVERSITY If it is the intention of the Board of Trustees to appoint a white man for the presidency of Howard University, The Bee names Dr. John Gordon. If a colored man is to be appointed, no better man could be selected than Prof. Roscoe Conkling Bruce. This young man could bring both money and influence. A GOOD SHOWING The negroes of Georgia own one million one hundred and forty-one thousand and thirty-five acres of land and maybe that is why Hon. Hoke Smith & Company is making so much ado about him. Maybe somebody will raise the cry to stop him from owning a home and running a farm, after awhile. AN M. P. WHO WILL BE MISSED. From the Transcript. Everything political in England is not cut and dried, as is shown by the career of Henry Labouchere, member of parliament for Northampton, who retires at the age of seventy-four, after serving with one or two short gaps, since 1865. Labouchere, or Labby, as he is familiarly known, has been conspicuous in politics and journalism and to some people has been a very unpleasant person, because he hasn't hesitated to be on the unpopular side and to speak and write the truth. His London paper, Truth, is loyal to its name and hits right and left. Labby has always had opinions and the courage to express them. He was a warm supporter of Gladstone, favored home rule for Ireland, asked some awkward questions for, the Rhodes party as a member of the Jameson investigating committee and, took the side of the Boers in the late war. His activities will be missed in the new parliament, marked as they were by fearless honesty, earnestness and plain speaking. THE GAME AND THE CANDLE Dr. James E. Shepard, of Durham, N. C. field superintendent for the International Sunday School Association, will speak tomorrow afternoon before the Y. M. C. A. at True Reformers Hall. His subject will be: "The Game and the Candle." Dr. Shepard is one of the best known young men in the United States, and as a speaker he is equal to any. Those who wish to listen to a good address should not fail to go early and get a seat. Dr. Shepard will arrive in the city this evening and will be the quest of Mr. and Mrs. George H. Lee, 1205 T street, N. W. Invitations are out for a china anniversary of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. M. William Lewis. It will take place at their residence, 503 20th street, N. W., Monday evening, January 20th, from seven to ten o'clock, P. M. M. G. Smith Warmley and Miss Mamie Cheatham, daughter of Ex-recorder Cheatham, were married by Rev. Dr. F. Rivers, last Monday evening at his parsonage. Mr. Warmley is a recent graduate of the Normal School and recently appointed a first grade teacher in the public school. DR. PIERRE APPOINTED Dr. Pierre appointed Dr. Samuel M. Pierre was last week appointed administrator of the estate of Worthy Dent, deceased. This is the case when the president of the Young Men's Immediate Relief and had a rule issued against him to show cause why he refused to file the will of the deceased. The president had been wrongfully advised by a member of the bar, who declared at a former meeting of the organization that he would defend him if action was taken against him. The learned disciple of Blackstone was found wanting when the rule was issued. Mr. Henry Warren, aged 106, one of our old citizens of color, was buried from St. Augustine on Friday. Mary McDonald, a colored woman, died at the Home of the Aged for color at Philadelphia, aged 135 years. She is born December 14, 1770.

But the mike seemed to take his of his plan to put them to work. The became as scares as snakes in treasury Closson put a sign in his window WANTED Will Pay One Cent Ape Then he awaited result. Nothing materialized. The next day a volvo over the telephone asked. What is you paying for mice to-day? "I'll give you five cents apiece replied Closson. In due time a smash boy, with 37 mice appeared and departed with $1.55. The mice began then endless grind upgrade toward the never attainable cheese. Closson geared the fan to the mouse motor and disconnected the electricity. The mice were non-union. They worked all day and half the night trying to reach two cents' worth of cheese. Then they fell exhausted. Closson's fan stopped, the window began to frost over, and the sign was changed to read "Five cents apiece." All the small boys in Cass county seemed to have been holding off for an advance. They arrived with enough mice to keep the fan working in quadruple shifts for years day and night. The price of mice fell in proportion. Closson would buy only selected stock." The rest were turned loose by the boys, who preferred to take them back to the fiddle stacks where they had been captured. Simultaneously there came praises from adjoining bakeries and flats. Osman in a hall bedroom hung up a sign offering to pay 30 cents each for cats that would rid his premises of the cast-off mice and those that had begun to gnaw their way out of Osman's cage. A procession of small boys lugged reluctant tabbles passed up the stairs until the cat market developed a best tendency. The neighbors of the cat buyer of finance" picked up bargains in usurers all the way from a quartet to a dime. The day's trading closed with markets firm on both cats and mice with non-union workers still toiling reach the top of the treadmill—and incidentally, keeping the front from the store windows. HAS PENCIL IN HER BRAIN Little Girl Lives with Skull Pierce by Slate - Fired from Atlantic City, N. N. J.-Surgeons are puzzled and interested with the vitality shown by Bessie Aug, the 13-year-old patient in the city hospital, who lives with a slate pencil imbedded in the lower part of the brain. The physicians called a consultation and carefully examined the child, with the intention of performing an operation but it is such an unusual case and requires such a delicate and difficult operation with but a small chance of saving her life, that they hesitate. The child gains consciousness frequently, and manages to occasionally recognize some of her relatives or friends who call to see her. A see Christmas was passed by her mother who called to see her and spent several hours beside the suffering daughter She came to her senses for a few moments and made an effort to speak but failed. Death, say the physician, may ensue at any moment. John Adams the lad who fired the pencil from a pistol into the girl's head, is still in the custody of his parents. Give Young Man a Chance. The Enuld (Okla.) Wave has ado- ced the teaching of grafting in the white schools so that a young man will have an equal show with the old man. Not knowing the ropes and rules of scri- ces of the modern art of grafting the young man just out of school has no chance with the old man. Humor Is Harmful.

When he left the hospital Rowe's arm still contained three of the lead en pellets, bis thumb was still in splints from a wound that cut to the bone, and cotton bandages covered fresh scar on his breast.

On May 1 last an automobile passec a cyclist on the road between Melur and Paris. The car raised a cloud o! dust. with the result that the cyclis could not see his way. His machine swerved, and he was overtaken by an. other motor car. which knocked him down and killed him. Could the drtver of the first car, whick had raised a cloud of dust, be héld re sponsible for the accident caused by the second car? The case came before the Corbeil court, which imposed a fin of $200 on the driver of the second car besides compelling him to pay $600 com: pensation. But the driver of the cal which caused the dust to fly was ac quitted, and his claim for $40 for be- ing unjustifiably prosecuted was al lowed against the tamily of the cyells! who was killed.

Reed says that the attention of the men in the pllot house was attracted to a singular noise in the alr over the steamer, as if she were passing through.a flock of big birds. Turning on the searchlight, it was discovered that a large flock of wild geese, flying Jow, had run afoul of the steamer, and, bunded by the rays of the searchlight, were flying wildly about the smoke stack. Several of the big birds struck the stack, but fell into the water, where they could not be recovered in tne darkness.

"PHEEK'S FOLLY," FREAKIEST HOUSE IN LONDON. A Modern Building with Outlines of an Old French Chateau—Fad of a Rich and Eccentric Antiquarian. London.—There is no doubt that the freakest house in London is that which stands at the corner of Upper Cheyne row and Oakley street, in Chelsea. Its owner calls it Chateau du Savanay, but locally it is known by the more appropriate designation of "Phone's Folly." The street on which it fronts is familiar to American visitors because it contains Carlyle's house. "Phene's Folly" presents one of the most curious conglomerations of architectural and sculptural incongruities that ever man wasted money on. It is backed by a wilderness garden, which really belongs to the eleighteenth century house farther down the row. The entire front of the mansion, which is four stories high, is completely covered with mystic devices, angels, gargoyles, lions, griffins, armorial bearings, balustrades, columns, and capitals. No system has been followed in their arrangement. It is a veritable nightmare medley. To add to the incongruity of the designs, the figures are painted in the most vivid and startling colors, brilliant reds, bright yellows, and emerald greens being extensively employed. Eight large female figures form the basia of the scheme, and between their heads are tablets and medallions on which are depicted snakes, elephants, sacred bulls, ecclesiastical emblems, gods, and goddesses. On the parapet of the house are the figures of Priam of Troy and Hecuba, each of them confronting a huge dragon. In the center of the front is a coat of arms with quarterings of mermen, stars and daggers, and the motto, "Ex supero spe pugnam." No body lives in the house M LONDON'S FREAK HOUSE. and no visitors are ever admitted to it. Dr. Phene, the owner of the property, lives in a house on the opposite side of the street. He is an antiquarian with a purse long enough to permit him to indulge in his most eccentric fancies. Some of his ancestors at one time lived at the Chateau du Savenay, on the Lolre. The "folly" represents his efforts to ingraft the outlines of it on the skeleton of a comparatively modern house, with additions of his own. After viewing the copy one cannot blame the Vendeans much for having pulled the French chateau about the proprietor's ears. The doctor claims descent from the Phoeniceans and is uncommonly proud of his ancient lineage. The house is supposed to embody the cryptic history of the family genealogy. Judging by results, it is awfully tangled and it is small wonder that Dr. Phene never seems satisfied that he has got things right. He is continually making alterations. Year after year goes by and still the house is never finished. Decorations, has-reliefs, statues and twisted and gilded columns are put up only to be taken down again regardless of expense. The only thing constant about the house is the weathercock, which always points due north. The most favorable view concerning the house was one the writer overheard as he passed two workmen who were discussing it. "Well." said one, "I suppose everybody has a right to his own fancles if he can afford 'em." "Right," agreed the other; "right you are, mate. An' it gives employment to the honest workingman." Inventor Holland's Prophecies. When John P. Holland prophesied the submarine boat people looked at him askance and said to one another: "Isn't it a pity? And he looks so intelligent, too!" Now Mr. Holland says that he expects to fly from his home in Newark to his New York office within a few months and that before the year is out any man who has one of the machines he has invented can easily go through the air at a speed of 40 miles an hour or can move at the rate of 15 miles an hour with no more exertion than is required for walking three miles an hour on land. ```markdown ``` Oklahoma Giants Roger Mills county, Oklahoma, is especially favored in the matter of giant citizens.

President of Senate May Be Elected to Succeed Loubet as President of France. Paris.—Everybody knows that when the senate and deputies meet to elect a new president of the republic for seven years, M. Loubet, will not be a candidate. He is tired of office, is growing old—he was 67 on December 31 last—and is determined to spend the rest of his days in unofficial peace. Who, then, will be elected? M. Fallieres, the president of the senate, may be looked upon as first favorite, partly by reason of his office, and partly because he is known to be M. FALLERIES. (President of French Senate Who May Succeed Loubet.) sound; known, too, not to be too ambitious, and because he is distinctively 'decorative. M. Fallieres' election—and this is a great point in his favor—would not be too displeasing to the reactionary party. He is a large land owner and fond of entertaining members of the older nobility of France. Mme. Fallieres is also very popular, and the wife of a new president is not unnaturally of the first importance. Next in favor to M. Fallieres comes M. Leon Bourgelos. He has been president of the chamber of deputies, premier, and was a member of M. Loubet's cabinet in 1892. M. Bourgeols is 54, and for a man who is comparatively young his years of office of one kind or another make a surprising total. The main thing against M. Leon Bourgeois' chances of success is that he is a widower. But it has been rumored that he intends marrying again. M. Doumer, the president of the chamber and former governor of Indo-China, ranks third in the list of probable presidents. He has been minister of finance and minister of the interior, and has a charming personality. But he is perhaps too active and pushing a man for the position, and his political opinions—he is a radical republican—are rather too clearly defined for those of a would-be president, who must, above all things, be politically neutral. In the outsiders' class, M. Berteaux has lost ground by his sensational resignation from his post at the war office. He is a genial man and a rich one, and is very popular among his fellow deputies, but the senators are said to distrust him. M. Paul Deschanel had a very strong chance indeed in 1899. Now he has no chance whatever. He has simply dropped out of the running and nobody, not even M. Deschanel himself, knows exactly why this has happened. M. Combes' chances are extremely poor. Lastly, one must not overlook M. Jean Dupuy, whose influence as the proprietor of "Le Petit Parisien" is widespread, and who is known to have been canvassing. PORTRAIT OF HANDEL.

Certain details caused him to believe it to be the work of the Sculptor Roubiliac. The curator of the museum reports that he can find no record of how the portrait came into Soane's possession. The portrait first appeared in print in the London Musical Times during the last month. Her Grief Fatal.

Young Norwegian Explorer Acquires Sudden Fame — Proves Route for Which Columbus Searched When He Reached America. New York.—Capt. Amundsen is exceedingly modest about his trip through the northwest passage. An observation station was established by Capt. Amundsen at King William's land, latitude 69 degrees and 30 minutes north and 90 degrees west. Capt. Amundsen declares his belief, based on the two years' of observation by him, that the north magnetic pole is within 90 minutes of that point. The observations have been taken day and night for a period of three years, and in the opinion of the explorer the actual position of the magnetic pole will be determined as soon as his observations can be figured out. Evidently the change from the position marked by Ross has been very slight. Capt. Amundsen, with his crew of seven men, sailed from Christiana June 15, 1903. The route.sailed was from Christiana to Baffin bay and then through Lancaster sound, Barrow strait, Peel sound, James Ross strait, Rae strait, Simpson's strait, Dease strait, Coronation gulf and Dolphin and Union straits to King point, where the explorers obtained communication with tue winter-bound fleet of whalers from San Francisco. The passage from 'King William's land and Victoria land, says Capt. Amundsen, is very shallow and very narrow. There are more than 100 islands there and at times the sounding was as shallow as three fathoms. These islands were seen and mentioned by Rea and Capt. Amundsen says it is now definitely proved that they are land. Capt. Amundsen is a Norwegian seaman, only 33 years old. His exedi- A. CAPT. ROAD AMUNDSEN. (Norwegian Explorer Who Discovered the Northwest Passage) CAPT. ROAD AMUNDSEN. (Norwegian Explorer Who Discovered the Northwest Passage) tion was fitted out with financial assistance from King Oscar, some influential men of Norway and Sweden and the Royal Geographical society of London. The coldest weather he experienced was in March, 1904, when the mercury registered 70 degrees below zero. The existence of a northwest passage was discovered long ago. Earlier explorers succeeded in traversing it. But to do this they had to leave behind the vessels on which they had entered the Arctic ocean, walk some distance over the ice and get aboard vessels which had come from the opposite direction. Capt. Amundsen won the distinction of being the first man in the history of the world to navigate the Arctic region from Davis strait to Behring strait in one and the same vessel. He has realized the dream of ages. When Columbus sailed from Spain in 1492 it was with the aim of finding toward the west a shorter and safer route to India than the one around the Cape of Good Hope. He thought when he reached America that he had accomplished his object. Years passed before it became known that what he had found was not a new route to the east, but a new world. Efforts then began to find northeast and northwest passages from Europe to Asia. Adolf Erlk Nordenskjold, a Russian, completed the northwest passage in 1879. The first great advance in the exploration of the northwest passage was made by John Davis, who discovered the strait named for him in 1585. Henrik Hudson followed him in 1607, and in 1616 Baffin reached latitude 77 degrees 45 n. minutes, a record that stood unequaled for 236 years. There was a great revival of Arctic exploration in the early part of the nineteenth century. Sir John Franklin was sent by the British government with two ships and 129 men expressly to make the northwest passage. Nothing was heard of the party from 1846 to 1854, when it was learned that it had perished. Numerous expeditions were sent out for its relief, among them that of Robert McClure, who passed through Behring strait in 1850 and went eastward as far as Melville island. Here it was necessary to abandon the ship. In the spring of 1854 McClure and his crew were met and rescued by McClintock's party, which had come up from the east, and taken back to England. McClure was thus the first to make the northwest passage. For his achievement he was knighted by the British government, promoted to a captaincy in the navy and highly honored by scientific societies. Blue eyes good. Color-blindness is very rarely found in persons with blue eyes. Viscount Aoki to Represent Mikado in United States—Has Had a Distinguished Career.

He has occupied a prominent place in the Japanese foreign office and was a delegate ```markdown ``` VISCOUNT SINZO AOKI. (New Japanese Ambassador to the United States.) VISCOUNT SINZO AOKI. (New Japanese Ambassador to the United States.) representing his country at The Hague conference. Viscount Aoki comes as the first ambassador from Japan to the United States after a distinguished career in the diplomatic service, from which he retired about six years ago, when he was called by the emperor to be one of the privy councilors, the highest honor that can be hoped for by the nobility. When yet a young man the new ambassador went to Germany as a student and received there training in the large universities. Twice he was returned there as minister. Naturally, German is the language with which he is most familiar, but he speaks English readily. It is expected that the viscount, accompanied by the viscountess, who is of German birth, the viscount having met and married her while serving his country in Germany, will come to this country without delay. It is believed here that the Japanese government will purchase an embassy building more conveniently located than is the present legation. Viscount Aoki is about 60 years old and is considered a man of great ability. Before entering the privy council he was twice minister of foreign affairs and Mr. Takahira, whom he succeeds here, served under him as vice minister. POSTMAN'S STONE PALACE. Building Which M. Cheval Has Erected with Odd-Shaped Stones in France. New York.—After 26 years of unaided work M. Cheval, the postman of Hauterive, in the department of Drome, France, has completed his ideal palace, of which a picture is here printed. M. Cheval was led to start the building by tripping over an odd shaped stone. He carried it home and the next day found another. Then he began a systematic hunt for what he THE STONE PALACE. (Queer House Bulit in France by a Post- man) calls nature sculptures, with the idea of using them in a building. The palace is about 85 feet long, 45 feet wide at one end and 33 at the other. In the center is a gallery with a catacomb at either end. These catacombs shelter all sorts of strange stone animals and figures. For a Barbary tower, which includes a grotto of the Blessed Virgin, the postman-architect spent seven years in hunting the stones and putting them in place. One face of the building shows an Arab mosque, a Hindoo temple, a Swiss chalet, a medieval castle and two other buildings in its 85-foot stretch. Stones formed by nature in the likeness of animals form the south front, where, also, there is a collection of flins. Altogether M. Chéval says he has spent $1,000 on his hobby.

Is Solicitor General of Ceylon, India, and Begarded as One of Wise Men of the East—Will Expound the Bible. Washington.—The other day one of the most eminent and interesting foreigners who ever arrived in this country, came to Washington as the invited guest of Mr. Albert S. Dullin, reagent of the Vedanta university. This distinguished personage is none other than the Hon. P. Ramanathan, K. C., C. M G., solicitor general of Ceylon, India—a great Jana Yogi, or sage, and reputed to be one of the "Wise Men of the East." Mr. Ramanathan has other marks of distinction besides being knighted by Queen Victoria, solicitor general and Jana Yogi. He is considered to be the most learned philosopher and master of the English language in India. His works on jurisprudence are considered the best legal collation ever compiled by a Hindu scholar. His commentaries on religion and philosophy are voluminous—the most celebrated of which, in his wonderful works entitled, "An Eastern Exposition of the Gospels of Jesus." Unlike many orientals who have visited England and America for the purpose of proselytizing Brahmanism and Buddhism, Mr. Ramanathan fades in our own Bible the essence of all religion and philosophy, and expounds its marvelous spiritual teachings as only a Jana Yogi can. The light he has thrown upon the gospels of St. Matthew and St. John stands pet in brilliant and luminous contrast with the exposition of these gospels as presented by our Christian theologians either ancient or modern. While in England, Mr. Ramanathan was called to the English bar honoris causa—a concession which has been granted only to the prince of Wales and to Mr. Benjamin, the great American lawyer. Mr. Ramanathan comes from what has long been the chief Hindu family, both in wealth and position, of the island of Ceylon, India. He comes to this country by the invitation of Myron H. Phelps, Albert S. [Image of a man wearing a turban]. MANATHAN Scholar Who Will America) Dunn and many other well-known educators distinguished for their learning and spiritual knowledge. He will be the guest of Mr Dulin at the Vedanta university in Washington, where he will have this opportunity of expounding the Vedanta and Yoga philosophy this winter, before the literary, scientific and philosophical audiences which will greet him. He will meet President Roosevelt, the justices of the supreme court and other eminent people in our official, secular and religious life. While here he will translate from the original Sanskrit and Tamil into English on the celebrated Hindu epics, known as The Maha-Bharata" and The Ramayana" These two epicles are justly classified as the most marvelous literary productions of these wonderf- and intellectual people. Interest in Mr. Ramanathan's visit to America is being greatly intensified by the fact that he will not only deliver many lectures while here, but that his visit is of special significance, when it is known that he comes to join hands with Albert S. Dullin, the founder of the international Vedanta, in establishing a new educational system of culture which will make for a higher individual and international civilization. It is believed by those who are familiar with the purpose that has called this great Hindu sage to America at this time, that an educational system will be evolved by these gentlemen the winter, which will contain the essence of all that is good in our present methods, but reinforced and enlarged by the learning and wisdom of the orient. He Sat on It On a bitterly cold morning an old man got into a carriage on the Great Western railway. The guard, who was of a humane disposition, offered the old man a hot water in which he accepted gratefully. At the end of the journey the nurse asked the old man if he had found the foot warmer comforting. Yes, he said, "but I should have the answer for my feet." The man had been sitting on the foot mat for nearly 30 miles. In Old London. "It seems they don't use the or-dinary transmitter on the London tele-phones. "No they talk right into the fog and take their chances."—Cleveland Plain Dealer Washington.—For weeks before the opening of congress rumor piled on rumor that Mr. Sereno K. Payne, of New York, would be deposed from his place of Republican leader in the house of representatives at the present session. The deposing, however, did not take place for he was reappointed chairman of the ways and means committee of the house by Speaker Gah ```markdown ``` SERENO E. PAYNE. (New York Congressman Leader of Repub lican Party in the House ) non. This office carries with it the recognized leadership of the party. Apparently the great majority of the Republicans of the last congress were thoroughly satisfied with the chieftainship of the veteran from New York. Mr. Payne has the grace of good nature, but there is no marked evidence that he ever permitted his good nature to reach the point of yielding party advantage to the opposition on the floor of the house. On several notable occasions last winter he came off rather better than his adversary in the matter of honors when he met the Democracy's leader, John Sharp Williams, in debate. The personal popularity of Mr. Payne with the younger Republican members of the house has invariably almed him in his ambitions. He is 62 years old but is as vigorous mentally as the youngest of his colleagues, and on occasion, when aroused, he is capable of powerful and effective eloquence. Mr. Payne, it is said, is the best student of finance in the house. He has written much upon financial subjects and a series of articles which appeared not long ago from his pen on the general subject of Wall street transactions marked him not only a student of finance but as one who understood to the smallest detail matters pertaining to investments of all kinds and to the manipulations of the market for purposes of gain. His articles were frank and made him some enemies in the stock market world. FLAGS OF PEACE. Philadelphia.—The emblem of peace, which has been adopted by the great powers of the world in their endeavour to ameliorate the horrors of war strange to say, had its birth, in the same city where the first American flag was made. It was on October 12, 1891, the three hundred and ninety-ninth anniversary of the discovery of America, that a committee of 400 representatives of peace advocates from PEACE UNITE ALL NATIONS UNITED STATES ENSIGN OF PEACE. the different nations of the world met at Philadelphia to plan the first peace congress ever held. Here, where the star spangled banner was made by the hands, of Betsy Ross, and in the same room where the declaration of independence was signed, the world's sign of peace had its origin. During this conference it was sugested that a banner should be chosen to typify the cause, and to wave as a universal peace flag over the international court of arbitration during its sessions in the peace palace at The Hague. The design that was accepted and since has been adopted, was the flag of each nation combined with a white border, which expresses individuality as well as unity, and could be readily adopted by each country. The two largest and most handsome of these flags have been made, one American and the other British, with staff surmounted with doves, were presented to Andrew Carnegie in honor of his gift of a large sum toward the building of the peace cathedral At The Hague. Mr. Carnegie afterward presented the flags to The Hague, where they were afterward adopted as the international peace flag of all nations. These two magnificent flags are made of the finest banner silk, trimmed with heavy silk fringe and measure 6x8 feet. The stars are silk embroidered, and all those who sewed and worked upon them, represented as many nations as it was possible to bring together. LITTLE GOD WORKS MAVOC IN SOLDIER'S HOME Baugh Courtship There to Keep Up Already Established Married Record Record Among Aged Defenders of the Nation. Indianapolis, Ind.—Cupid in his most alluring garb is at work among the veterans in the State soldiery', home at DafayetIn. In the last year seven or eight marriages have taken place at the home, and it is said there are enough courtships in progress to promise many more matrimonial alliances next year. "It looks as if we'll have to find a way to head off the little god," declared R. M. Smock, commandant of the home, at G. A. R. headquarters. The total population of the home is 1,003. Of this number 495 were women --thewives or widows of soldiers. The commandant says the mortality rate at the home seems to be increasing. Included in the population are seven or eight Spanish-American war veterans, mostly young men. Said the commandant: "The per cent. of deaths is very much greater among the Spanish war soldiers than among the veterans of the civil war. The experience in tropical countries in which many of them had to serve seems to have lowered their vitality, and, besides, the boys who went out in the Spanish-American war were not nearly so well able to stand hardship as those who went out in 1862." Commandant Smock spoke of many old couples in the home who seem perfectly happy. They have little work to do and are furnished with plenty of clothing and food. The commandant is inclined to encourage matrimony at the home. He says that among all the marriages that have taken place there since he took control only one has resulted unhappily. After their marriage the mismated pair left the institution. The husband has returned, however, and has sued his wife for divorce. The husband was formerly a member of the Indianapolis police force. Vienna.—President Roosevelt, the kaiser and a king or two have been robbed of the Christmas presents which the shah of Persia intended to give them. Each potentate was to have a diamond studded miniature portrait of himself, and All-Bagair, a Persian jeweler in this city, was commissioned to do the work in true oriental style. All had finished the portraits of Mr. Roosevelt, Emperor Francis Joseph and Kaiser Wilhelm, when he was obliged to go to Paris for more diamonds, and turned the finished portraits over to another Persian, Machmed Baga, for safe keeping. When All returned he found a nice little letter awaiting him, but no Baga. The missive contained a fine assortment of oriental greetings, wishes and kotows—and a pawn ticket. Machmed, it seems, pawned the shah's portraits the day he received them and immediately set out for Italy. He was subsequently arrested in Florence, but had only a few hundred francs in his possession. The shah has refused to take the portraits out of pawn, and All declares it would ruin him to do so. BOBTAIL STEERS AND COWS Redding, Cal.—W. B. Elam, an extensive stock raiser of Tehama county, came to Red Bluff and complained to the sheriff that parties unknown to him were cutting the tails off the stock on his ranges. He thinks there must be as many 100 bobtailled steers and cows on the range about Hunter's station. He says the mutilation is done by thieves, who want the hair to use in the manufacture of hair ropes, Mr. Elam claims that the men who rob the cattle of their tails slip up behind them while they are lying down, and with a sharp knife do the work quickly. Ross McRaye, of Payne's creek, also in Tehama county, went to Red Sluff and swore to a complaint charging that a neighbor had stolen 17 lugs from him. Later 16 of the lugs turned up at the home place, but all of them had been clipped clean of ears. These two complaints, coming so closely together, are a novelty in criminal proceedings in northern California. Writes 4,917 Words in Hour. Ray T. Vanettisch, Colorado service editor of the Pueblo Chieftain, broke the world's typewriting record for both the 30-minute and one-hour tests, taking 2,600 words during the first 30 minutes and finishing the hour with 4,917 words. The dictation was received over the long-distance telephone from Denver, a distance of 120 miles. The previous hour record, 3,830 words, direct dictation, was made by Paul Munter, at Madison Square garden, New York, November 4, 1905. Sun Will Be Cold Sir Oliver Lodge, the great scientist, declares that one of the recent sun spots observed in the solar eclipse was so large that the earth could be dropped into the cavity with a clear space of 1,000 milis all around it. The sun shrinks very slowly, adds Sir Oliver, and Lord Kevlin has calculated that in 20,-000,000 years it would be incapable of warming the earth. Boya Tried for Bortlemen of Suffer- ing Infants and in Abyssians in Cases of Mania. London. — Interesting experiments with blue light as an agent for producing analgesia, or insensibility to pain, the discovery of Prof. Redard, have been carried out by Dr. Harvey Hillard, anesthetist to the Royal Dental hospital of London. In an article in the Medical Times and Hospital, Dr. Hillard states that he found that a blue light had on himself a most distinctly calming influence, a destro to close the eyes and sleep is experienced, and, after some minutes, sensibility to pain is lessened. For instance, the difference between a light pressure made with the tip of the little finger and a needle could not easily be detected, and surgical needles could be pushed into the face, lips, gums or arms and blood drawn thereby without actual pain being felt unless a still deeper pressure were exerted. "I believe that the presence of a blue lamp suitably placed might give satisfactory results in the treatment of insomnia, owing to its calming influence. I have tried it with some benefit in one case, and similarly in restlessness of infants suffering from a mild illness, and in asylums in case of mania it is conceivable that blue light rays might be of value. This view is supported by the fact that red lights have been found to have a beneficial effect upon smallpox, as it is inimical to the vitality of the germs of that disease." Dr. Hillard gives instances of the utility of the blue rays in the case of the extraction of teeth. One man said under its influence he felt no pain when the molar was extracted, and returned to have two others removed by the same agency. Wife of Man Who Becomes Insane Saves Property by Her Exertions -Complimented by Judge. Knightstown, Ind.-The final settlement in the Henry circuit court of the estate of George Shewmaker reveals the story of how a plucky little woman made a brave fight to save the farm, support two children and maintain the family respectability after she had been deprived of a husband's help when he was sent to the insane hospital. A few years ago, when Rufus Shewmaker was murdered by John Thraley in the northern part of this county, George Shewmaker, a brother of the murdered man, went insane from brooding over his brother's untimely death. Shortly before he had purchased a farm and when he was committed everyone thought the farm would revert to the original owner. Not so, however, for the brave little wife set heroically to work, met all the notes as they fell due, paid the taxes regularly and the court has just authorized the administrator of the estate to turn the farm over to her. All the while Mrs. Shewmaker worked the farm herself, marketed the crops and did all the farm work without male assistance and at the same time she sent her children to school. When Judge Morris issued his order he publicly complimented the little woman for the brave fight she had made and declared that it was more than many men could have done. That Is Mystery That Is Agitating Ypsilanti, Mich., Mall Carriers Who Get Queer Package. Ypsilanti, Mich.—There is a new version of the Cinderella story which is more up to date than the original which has done duty through several generations. According to the new one the modern prince is going about Ypsilanti inspecting the mouths of would-be princesses to see whom a wandering set of upper teeth may possibly fit. Recently when the post office carriers made their collections from the city mail boxes one of them discovered a set of false teeth in one of the boxes. The teeth were not wrapped up or labeled as to their destination nor was postage prepaid. So that the authorities have no idea as to their ultimate destination. Just how they came there is also a mystery and whether some night wanderer tried to swallow the mail box and got too big a mouthful, or whether the teeth were destined as a gift for some member of the force, is not known. The teeth will be kept-a week and then returned to the dead letter office as unmailed matter. Denver, Col.-Felix O'Neill, formerly sheriff of Denver county, has just received $32,000 by the will of a man named Garrity, who was serving a sentence for vagrancy when O'Neill, then a detective, became interested and helped him upon his feet. Garrity told the officer that he had come west to make his fortune and was penniless, and O'Neill, with a kindly heart, took the man to his home after he had left jail, fed and clothed him and gave him a start. The old man soon left Denver, but often returned and O'Neill never had a truer friend. Uncle Sam's Loose Change. All the money in the world now amounts to $12,509,000,000, of which $6,000,000,000 is in gold and more than $3,000,000,000 is in silver. Of the gold nearly one-fourth and of the silver more than one-fifth is held by the United States, the amount in both cases being more than that held by any other nation. WILL BECOME WIFE OF CONGRESSMAN LONGWORTH. President and Mrs. Roosevelt Announce Daughter's Engagement—Bride One of Nation's Most Interesting Young Women. Washington—Formal announcement was made the other day by President and Mrs. Roosevelt of the engagement of their daughter, Alice Lee Roosevelt, to Mr. Nicholas Longworth. The wedding will take place in the middle of February. Miss Roosevelt will be 23 next February, speaks nearly all the European languages fluently and is the country's most popular young woman. It is thought by those who are most intimate with the family that the wedding will take place in the blue room at the White House, where Mrs. Cleveland and the former president were married, and where Mrs. Roosevelt received guests at Miss Roosevelt's debut five years ago. The last daughter of a prpresident to be married in the White House was Nellie Grant, daughter of President and Mrs. U. S. Grant, who married the young Englishman, Sartoris, and from that time-until the marriage of Mrs. Cleveland, there was never another bride. The body social in this country and abroad is interested in the love, affair of the two young people, which dates back about two years ago, when it first became a noticeable fact that wherever Miss Roosevelt was invited there also was Mr. Longworth. Then followed Miss Roosevelt's visit to Mrs. MISS ALICE ROOSEVELT (Her Engagement to Congressman Long- worth Has Been Anpuncted.) Wallinford, sister of Mr. Longworth, in Cincinnati, and the trip to the Philippines, when any doubt, whatever which existed in the minds of friends as to their love affair was dispelled. Mr. Longworth has been a social lion ever since coming here, is much sought for as a dinner guest, and is foremost in all forms of social functions. He has donned the apron and waited on table at fashionable teas and suppers when diplomats were cooks and salesmen. He is a great lover of all kinds of sport. The president is fond of his prospective son-in-law. They have long been friends, and he looks upon his daughter's coming marriage with great pleasure. His most intimate friends in the house are Messrs. Gillett and Butler Ames, both from Massachusetts. The residence which Mr. Longworth has leased belongs to Mrs. John Davie Jones, of Cincinnati, the mother of the Marchesa D'Ajeta of Italy, and is a storehouse of treasures from all over the world. It is located about three blocks from the White House, and is now occupied by Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, mother of the representative. Married in the midst of the social season and during the official entertaining at the White House, their home necessarily will be the scene of the liveliest social entertainments ever known at the capital. Miss Roosevelt has added interest to the White House since its occupancy by the president, and never a week has gone by when she was there that there was not a string of calls in the afternoon, company for dinner, and more visitors in the evening. She is justly popular, and one recalls with considerable mirth her little remark at the first ball which she attended after her debut: "O. I hope I won't be a wallflower." She is never a wallflower, not even for a moment, no matter where she CONGRESSMAN LONGWORTH. (Ohio Representative Who Has Won Pres- ident's Daughter.) chances to be, and at Mrs. Roosevelt's last musical at the White House she was constantly surrounded by her admirers, foremost of whom, undoubtedly, was Mr. Longworth. Mr. Longworth is 36 years old, was born in Cincinnati, and is serving his second term in congress. He is a graduate of Harvard, an alumnus of the Cincinnati Law School, and before coming to Washington served in both houses of the Ohio legislature. He is quite wealthy. London—Boston folk—the people who dwell in the drowny little English Boston, in Lincolnshire—are greatly tickled by the tidings that their parish church of St. Botolph may serve as a model for the projected cathedral to be erected in the American Boston. The two things they are proudest of are their old church and their maternal relationship to their big Massachusetts namesake, settled by their Puritan au- ST BOTOLPH'S CHURCH. (Old English Structure Which Is Now Studied) cestors. Rev. George Wolfe Shinn, from the latter place, has been visiting the Lincolnshire town recently to get some idea how a modern St. Botolph would look at the "Hub of the Universe." If he is at all susceptible to flattery he will certainly take back with him a favorable report. As will be seen by the accompanying picture, St. Botolph's is a particularly fine specimen of old ecclesiastical architecture. It measures 233x99 feet and is one of the largest churches without transepts in all England. Its most imposing feature is the tower, which rises to a height of 263 feet, and dominates the landscape for miles around. It terminates in an octagonal lantern, and was doubtless intended by the builders to serve as a lighthouse by land and sea, as well as a campanile. The country folk have affectionately dubbed it "The Stump." The founder's chapel is in the early decorated style of Edward II. (1307), while the nave, alsies and western part of the chancel are of somewhat later period. The restoration of the church was begun in 1843, the work lasting ten years and costing $50,000. St. Botolph's is closely linked with the daughter city by the memory of the famous John Cotton. He was its vicar for upwards of 20 years before, in 1633, he fled across the Atlantic to the American Boston to escape persecution for his Puritanical views, and there, as is well known, he preached until his death, nearly 20 years later. St. Botolph's contains a chapel to his memory, for which the "Hub" subscribed the money. The word Boston is a contraction of "Botolph's town," and it is commonly supposed to occupy the site of the Benedictine abbey founded by St. Botolph in 654, and destroyed by the Danes in 700. WALT WHITMAN MEMORIAL New York.—At West Hills, in the township of Huntington, L. I., a tablet has recently been erected at the birthplace of Walt Whitman by the Colonial society of Huntington. It was first proposed to place a tablet on the old homestead where the poet was born TO MEMORIZE THE WITNESSPLACE OF WALT WHITMAN THE GOOD GRAY POET Bloom June 31, 1819 Recited by the Catered Society of Huntington in 1923 WALT WHITMAN TABLET. (Memorial to Poet Recently Erected at His Birthplace.) and spent his early boyhood days, but this was objected to by the present owner of the property because it was thought it would draw many curiosity seekers and cause annoyance. The memorial has been placed in the highway a few feet from the fence lies between the roadbed and the old house. A big boulder has been prepared by dressing down one side and to this has been fastened a marble slab, into which the lettering has been deeply cut, the whole making a very appropriate memorial. All about Whitman's birthplace the country is extremely picturesque, and the freedom of the life here experienced undoubtedly had a strong influence in shaping the poet's career. In 1836 and 1837 Whitman revisited the vicinity of his birthplace, and taught the village school in the neighboring hamlet of Woodbury. The schoolhouse where he taught is still standing, and while it has outlived its usefulness, the people of Woodbury have preserved it as a relic, and have erected an up-to-date building for present-day requirements.

Rich Old Woman Directs That $14,000 Be Spent on Her Burial at French Capital. Paris.—A rich old woman of the Rue Vaugirard who died recently, ordered her executors to spend $14,000 on her funeral. Accordingly the executors of her will gave her the most gorgeous funeral ever seen in this city. Her body was embalmed by famous aurgeons, her coffin was the most expensive that could be bought, and the service, which took place in the Church of St. Sulpice, was the most elaborate that the ceremonial of the church would allow. Thousands of persons assembled on the great square to get a gilimpse of the magnificent funeral carriage and elaborate appointments, and many of them went as far as the burial ground so as not, to miss any part of the spectacle. Notwithstanding all they had done, the executors found when they went to pay the bills that the total expense did not quite reach the amount stipulated. Therefore they ordered that the great stairway of the apartment house in which the woman had lived should be draped in black and silver for a certain period. To this the other tenants strenuously objected, and one who was going to give a reception had recourse to the courts to have the objectionable ornaments removed. Now he is suing for damages, and it is probable when the courts are through with the case the rich woman's property will have been taxed much more than the original $14.000. Society Girl Carries Canine on Car to Her Undoing—Hearing Yelp Terrier Buns. Loulsville, Ky.—The street car companies of Loulsville have issued a rule prohibiting the carrying of dogs on cars. Miss Margaret Hickman, a young society woman of this city, attempted to evade the rule in a novel manner. She boarded a car, carrying a package which looked like a baby, with its laces and long trailing skirts and rich heavy veil. Now and then there was a faint rustling of skirts, and with each movement Miss Hickman whispered soft and low, and the much covered one became quiet, again. All went well until the car was down town. A careless mongrel cur outside gave a yelp, and a bark of sympathy came from the bundle of lace clothes. Then there was a frantic wriggle, a leap into the aisle and a dash out of the door. The fox terrier—for the dalnty bundle was Miss Hickman's greatest pet—was unable to free himself from his laces and long clothes, and was wriggling around the street like a baby on all fours.
