Stafford Parker, one of the charter members of Rising Sun Lodge No. 1365, is now serving as a juror in Criminal Court No. 1, Supreme Court of the District. District Grand Master J. H. Coleman and the members of the Executive Committee of D. G. Lodge No. 20 will begin their annual visits to the subordinate lodges March 15 next. At the last regular meeting of the O.H. Association, P. N. F. F. Hawthorne of Golden Reef Lodge No. 2362 presented his credentials and was admitted as a delegate. The National Real Estate, Investment and Improvement Association, through its attorney, W. C. Martin, filed in the office of the Recorder of Deeds of the District on Wednesday a certificate of incorporation. The object of the corporation is to transport the business ordinarily carried on by a real estate agent or broker; the term of its existence is perpetual and its capital stock $10,000 divided into 2000 shares of the par value of $5 per share. The incorporators are George W. Bowls and Robert W. Poole of Johnstown, Pa., and Leslie Y. Moore, John Adams and Thomas B. Williams of Washington, D. C. The Bee is daily growing in popular demand throughout the country. Its subscription list is steadily on the increase. Last week over two hundred new names were added to its subscription list. The management will endeavor to make The Bee a household and national necessity. Its aim shall be to treat the people fairly and publish the truth. The management invites contributions to its social and news columns from all denominations and religious creeds. Help The Bee The Bee will help you. SUNDAY BAPTISING. Sunday morning Rev. J. Anderson Taylor, the well-known pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church, conducted a very in- THE' BEE teresting baptising service. After he preached his regular sermon and at the conclusion of other services, the officers made preparations for the baptismal services. Every seat was occupied and every available space in the church was filled with the members and friends of the candidates to be baptised. The scene was beautiful. There were fully a dozen or more little children, boys and girls, in gowns. There were old men and old women, who declared that they had found Christ and called to their friends to come with them and be saved. Rev. Taylor entered the pool which is in the church and baptised at least three dozen. In the evening some sixty or seventy joined his church. These included those who were baptised in the morning. The commission services in the evening were conducted by the pastor. He preached two most eloquent sermons, one in the morning and one in the evening. AT THE NINETEENTH STREET Rev. Walter H. Brooks, pastor of the 19th Street Baptist Church, conducte baptismal services in his church. There were a large number of converts baptised and in the evening communion service were held and at leas seventy or eighty joined church. TRUE REFORMERS. If every organization in the city would do the work that the Grand United Order of True Reformers are doing the people in this community would have no cause to complain. There are over three thousand members connected with this association in this city. There is a store connected with the order and if it received the support it ought to there would be fully a dozen or more clerks employed. The colored people must create their own enterprises if they desire to give their boys and girls employment. The Bee doesn't want to be understood as being opposed to places conducted by the other race that are friendly disposed to the colored people. If the proper support was given to the True Reformer's store, many a boy and girl graduate of our normal school would be employed? Over one hundred students left Talledge, Ala., College recently because a Southern white man was employed as superintendent of the college. The student body numbers nearly 1,000. The negro of to-day is having a hard time. Ostracized at his own home, eliminated from politics, and divided to a great extent in his own ranks, the future looks dark. All good movements towards helping to alleviate the condition of affairs should be encouraged. Another thing we should strive to help our brother who is down and not try to bury him like some do, right here in this city. The next great thing is to support our business men when we make them rich they can help their less fortunate brother. What I Saw and Heard Recorder J. C Dancy has entered up on his second term and the Hon. J. Milton Turner has returned to St Louis. The Business League and the bread and butter brigade will do honor to their Moses next week. Well the Blue and the Gray have united. I can't see why the negro and the South can't shake hands. The color-man must make terms with those among whom they live. The colored man South ought to learn by now that his vote have been used long enough as a convenience. It is not necessary for the color-man to remain in any party that doesn't want him and especially a party that has been using him for a "cat's paw." The Young Men's Immediate Relief Association is one of the largest beneficial Associations in the city. Some time ago a colored lawyer connected with the Association offered his services gratis in the event it was sued. The Association was sued last week and the Association employed a white attorney. The Association contains several well-known colored practicing attorneys. There are a few curbstone politicians in the city that claim that the republican party in this city needs a reorganization if it is no more than to get rid of those curbstone orators. Dr. John Gordon has left the country. He will return soon. He will visit places of importance and will tell us all about them when he returns. The rebellious students at Howard University were anxious to create more disturbance last week when it was reported that young Peniks, the African student would present Dr. Gordon a cane. They changed their mind however and decided that the best thing to do was to behave themselves. Yes, there are several colored candidates for the presidency of Howard University. It will not be a colored man, so your minds may be at rest so far. The trustees realize the fact that a man of influence and a money getter must be placed at the head of that institution. Now that five men of influence have been named to select the man, it is hoped that they will do it soon. Fairplay. At a meeting held recently of the Young Woman's Christian Association of the District of Columbia the matter appertaining to young colored girls, helpless and ignorant, who were lured from the South North by deceptive stories of unscrubulous employment agents was taken up. Action in the future will be taken up by the Association. For light upon dark subjects, read The Bee, the oldest colored paper in the District of Columbia. N. B.—Our special agent will call to see you so please be ready. Remember our collector is making his rounds. By paying you help him and we, The Bee. All the factions of Masons of the District of Columbia are working—the S. E. faction, the 19th street, and the Compacks. Without competition there, would be a monopoly. As long as the teachings of the square, plumb and level are disregarded we can look for splits in Masonry. ABOLISHES-DUSTY STREETS New Substance Discovered in Greece Reported by American—Remedy Is Effective. Washington.—Akonia is the name of a newly discovered substance which, mixed with water and used for sprinkling, will prevent dust, rising from streets. Consul George Horton, of Piranus, Greece, formerly of Chicago, says the substance is used there, and is effective. He has been unable to learn the chemical composition of akonia, but the mayor of Piranus told him that one ton of akonia dissolved in 600 gallons of water would sprinkle a 40-foot roadway for a third of a mile so effectively that no dust whatever would rise from it, either from the wind or from travel. As used in Piranus, the street is gone over a second time in 15 days after the first sprinkling with one fourth of a ton of akonia dissolved in 400 gallons of water. The akonia forms a coating over the street. It is being experimented with on the highways of London and on the roadways of the continent of Europe. Emperor to Travel. The emperor of China is talking of going abroad. Perhaps the dowager empress has been looking in his band and informing him that he is going on a long journey. Won't Take Him Seriously. E. Benjamin, Andrews says football breeds kindness and restraint. Yet E. Benjamin probably wonders why the public so often declines to take him seriously. Paragraphic News RAY R. Segal, a school girl of fourteen ears, rescued three children last Tuesday at a fire in a building at 901 lilwaukee avenue, Chicago, in which fireman was overcome by smoke Capt. Mark Castro, who with his crew of six men rescued fifty-two people from the stranded steamer Cherokee at Atlantic City, N. J., received a check for $500 from the Clyde Line Steamship Company. The winner of the $25,000 prize for St. Louis exposition in 1904 was Frank Campbell, a convict in the Nebraska State penitentiary, who still has about one more year to serve. He was convicted of embezzlement. The fire which occurred in the powerhouse of the University of Pennsylvania at 34th and Spruce streets, Philadelphia, did damage to the extent of $50,000. The house last Tuesday afternoon at Columbus, Ohio, by a vote of 104 to 1 passed the Freener bill, providing for a maximum rate of two cents a mile or railroads, which was submitted for the Rathburn bill passed by the Senate. After preaching to a large congregation last Sunday morning Rev. J. G. Norton, leading Baptist minister of Valdosta, Ga., went home, ate dinner and shortly afterward committed suicide by leaping into the well. In his sermon Sunday Mr. Norton dwelt a good deal on the uncertainty of life. Postmaster General Cortelyon has issued instructions advising treatment of horses in the postal service. In some cases horses have been frequently neglected, if not illused. Mr. Cortelyon states that the animals must be cared for and that every reasonable effort looking to comfort and kind usage shall be made. The thirty-third annual reunion of the National Association of Mexican War Veterans will be held in this city February 22 and 23. The last reunion of the association was held here in 1883. Investigation into the charges that the Force of Life Company at New York, which is a medical firm, sold through the mails a preparation which claimed to make the old young again, to straighten crooked bones and in one instance to have restored a dead person to life, was resumed last Monday before United States Commissioner Ridgeway. The company is charged by the postal authorities with conspiracy to defraud Lucille Hoffman of Waterville, Me., and others through the use of the mails. The trial of Lawyer Benjamin E. Valentine of Brooklyn was begun last Monday before Justice Rogers of Watertown, N. Y. The telegraph department of the Northern Pacific has invented a contrivance to be carried on trains whereby a portable telephone can be attached to the wires along the line. Mrs. Mary Dougherty, who had the reputation of being the oldest woman in the State of Pennsylvania, died last Saturday at the age of 108 years. A blizzard caused the mercury to fall twelve degrees in eleven minutes last Saturday throughout Central and Southern Texas. The fire which started in the paint shop of the Henderson-Crawford Buggy Company at Valdosta, Ga., caused a loss of $140,000. Father Gilbert Limon of St. Bede College and three students were drowned last Saturday while skating on the Illinois River, LaSalle, Ill. Thomas Minshall, postmaster at Lacrescent, Minns, for forty consecutive years, 1859 to 1890, died last week at the age of eighty-two years. The house of representatives at Columbia, S. C., has passed the Morgan dispensary bill by a vote of 63 to 47. This is considered to be the most significant legislation in this state for many years, and it is believed the Senate also will pass the measure. The bill abolishes State dispensaries and provides for State prohibition. Rev. Edward Henry Perroine, master of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, since 1879 and author of many theological works, died in London Feb. 5. Dr. Mauricio Flores died suddenly at Harrisburg, Pa., on the 2nd instant. He was graduated a few years ago from the medical department of Howard University. One thousand dollars was left in the will of Mr. A. W. Carson, one of the oldest newspaper men of Missouri, who died recently to buy "How to be a Gentleman," by Mark Twain. The books are to be distributed among the northern Young men's Christian Associations. Editor D. G. Hill, of the Masonic Guide, Little Rock, Ark., was seriously hurt in a railway wreck at Riceville, Ark., the 21st of last month. He was HON. BENJAMIN P. BIRDSALL. returning home from Washington where he had been on important business. Hon. J. E. Bush, the United States Land Receiver, was injured also in the wreck at Riceville, Ark. The cold weather that is upon us is far reaching and wide spread. Major General Samuel S. Sumner has been retired after forty-five years honorable service. The Harper Memorial Committee of the Board of Trustee of the University of Chicago, recommended to the trustees that the memorial take the form of a general library building to cost $1,250,000.28. It is stated that in a sermon delivered at St. Patrick's Church, Chicago, Archbishop Keane of Dubuque, said in the course of his remarks that "the man who slights his work and gives his employer less than he agrees to give a thief, and any laboring union that upholds him in this slighting of work is a school of thieves. Science Hall, at the State Normal School at Athens, Ga, was totally destroyed by fire about five o'clock last Saturday morning. The building was to cost $30,000. According to law every captain of an American ship must be an American citizen. It is said by Chief of the Secret Service John E. Wilkie that the captain on every steamer which has been wrecked on the Pacific coast in the last three years was fraudulently naturalized. We extend to Editor Hill and his family our sympathies and hope for him a speedy recovery. One of the darkest days ever witnessed in Chicago was last Tuesday. A dense cloud of smoke and clouds hung over that city so that it was necessary to light the stores and street cars as though it were night. THE GALBRAITH. Rev. S. L. Corrothers, the only pastor that Galbraith Church has ever had to do the church any good, converted 132 persons at his recent revivals, added 125 members to the church in one month and in the last three years and seven months of his pastorate he has taken in over 400 members, including the improvements and the amount paid on the church debt he has paid over nine thousand dollars. The golden jubilee, the 50th anniversary of his church, will take place the first Sunday in March and close Easter Sunday night. He will make an effort to raise $2,000 dollars. THE AMPHIONS. The attention of our citizens generally is called to the fact that the Amphion Glee Club of this city, which is the oldest organization of its kind in the United States, has entered the contest for one of the prizes offered by the Washington Post. The Amphions need no introduction. They are well known throughout the country, and if the citizens of color will concentrate their efforts in behalf of this organization, success will be assured. The public schools, the several literaries, churches and societies have been appealed to support them since they are first in the field, and it is hoped that all the people will rally to the assistance of this deserving organization. The conditions of the contest are well known. J. Henry Lewis, Director The Amphion Glee Club. The Bee FOR GREAT ADVERTISING MEDIUM WRY IT! Do you want reliable news?

It is an aphorism true and uncontradicted that some men are born great but a very few become great by their individual efforts. This cannot be said of the Hon. Benjamin P. Birdsall of Iowa. Mr. Birdsall is a member of the Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives, the most important committee in Congress. It requires a lawyer of ability to be on such an important committee. He is also a member of the Merchant Marine and Fisheries Committees, which are also important. The people of Iowa have great confidence in Mr. Birdsall. He is popular among all classes in his state and especially the colored voters in his district. There is some talk of naming him as the next governor of the state. The Republicans say that he is a man who can be trusted and if he is nominated there is no doubt of his election. Mr. Birdsall is a popular Republican because he is with his people. A man who is not too big and appreciates his people and looks out for their needs is bound to succeed. Such a man is Benjamin P. Birdsall of Clarion, who was born at Weyanweyn, Wis. October 26, 1858; was educated in the common schools of Iowa and at the Iowa State University, Iowa City, by profession a lawyer, admitted to practice in March, 1878; served as district judge of the Eleventh Judicial district of Iowa from January, 1893; has been twice married, his first wife, Miss Bertha H. Schultz, died in 1886; remarried in 1888 to Miss Belle Johnson of Clarion; was elected to the Forty-eighth and reelected to the Fifty-ninth Congress, receiving 29,293 votes, to 14,200 for J. N. Mallon, Democrat, and 1,388 for E. D. Hammond, Socialist. Mr. Birdsall's record as a judge won for him a host of admirers. He was fair, honest and clean, which the people of Iowa appreciated. There is no man in Congress to day any more poular than Mr. Birdsall. He is a man who looks out for his constituents and believes in equality of citizenship. Those who know Mr. Birdsall say that he is a man of an agreeable temperament. A sound debater and a profound thinker. ```markdown ``` CORNELIUS B. HENRY DEAD. Philadelphia, Pa., Feb. 3, 1906. Cornelius B. Henry of this city, who resided at No. 1522 Lombard street, died of pneumonia Sunday morning, January 28th, at 12:30 o'clock, after an illness of one week. He was buried Thursday. February 1st. The funerals ceremony was preached by Rev Alexander Murry, pastor of Bethel A. M. E. Church. Mr. Henry was 31 years old at the time of his death. He leaves a widow and three children, and a father, mother and five brothers. The pallbearers were his five brothers and an old chum of the deceased. Cornelius is the brother of Mr. Delancy Henry of Washington City. He and his wife, Mrs. Victoria Henry, have returned to their home. There were many beautiful flowers sent to the be-reaved family from friends. AT THE COSMOPOLITAN. Rev. Simon P. W. Drew, D. D., had about one hundred and fifty to join his church last Sunday night. Rev. Drew was assisted by several ministers connected with his denomination. Sunday was a religious day of baptising among the bapists. Throughout the city the most interesting exercises were held. ```markdown ``` A IAR PEOPLE. "Peculiar People" is a new book for the millions. By Ms. Ambella Virginia Chase. NEW SUBJECTS.

Mall 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 weight on which he paid the usual tariff according to weight. The doctor landed on the American side all right, but the steamship company discovered his secret and demanded the price of carrying a dead body in a coffin, which amounts to nearly $150 more than the doctor paid for the urn's transportation. This he refused and the case must be decided at Paris, since it was at a French port that the urn was shipped. The impression here is that the company will lose the case. TO DUPLICATE EVERY GUN. Washington.—Every gun in the navy 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 threat: 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 Cherokee (I. F.) Times, and for whose veracity that paper voucher, 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 man climb down. The boy is clear out of sight. Three men have undertaken to set the stalk down with axes and save the boy from starvation, but it grows so fast that they can't hack twice in the same place. The boy is living on nothing but raw corn and already has thrown down over four bundles of corn." Decorated Chef. King Edward's chef, M. Munager, 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 disappointed the baron. 1 from PURE SPRING water. Delivered in as.

Harmony Department, No. 71, meet H. S. MADLEY OF MISSOURI A UNIQUE FIGURE Sketch of Attorney General Who Is Trying to Show That Standard Oil Company Is Nothing But a Trust. New York.-Herbert S. Hadley, attorney general of the state of Missouri, who recently tried to worm out of Henry H. Rogers and other Standard Oil witnesses the true relation between the Standard Oil company and the so-called independent concerns doing business in Missouri, is almost as unique in his way as Gov. Folk himself. Mr. Hadley is only 34 years old, but already he has made a name for himself as a brilliant lawyer. He was elected corporation counsel of Kansas City, Mo., when only 27 years old, and at the age of 30 he was chosen public prosecutor, serving in that capacity for two years, while Mr. Folk was making his reputation in St. Louis, at the other end of the state. Defeated for reelection in 1902, he determined not to enter the political arena again, and accepted a retainer from the street railway interests of Kansas City. But in a Republican state convention in Missouri, a year ago last fall, he was forced into nomination against his will. Named to break a deadlock by a speaker who was already on the stage to put in nomination another man, his friends carried him bodily to the rear of the hall, in order to prevent his protesting against his own nomination, which was unanimous. He made an active canvass in what looked to be a forlorn hope, and was elected. Hadley, who for the time being, at least, is a national figure, declines to pose as a reformer. He says he has no message from the west to deliver to the east. As an individual he has nothing against Henry H. Rogers or John D. Rockefeller. It is not his purpose to inquire into secrets of "the System," except so far as they have a direct bearing on the case at issue. Though he is closely associated with Gov. Folk, he asserts he is not completely in sympathy with a movement which is preclaiming ne- J. HERBERT S. HADLEY. (Missouri Official Who Is Probing Standard Oil Company.) HERBERT S. HADLEY. (Missouri Official Who Is Probing Standard Oil Company.) cessity of sweeping changes in the nation. Mr. Hadley does not profess any particular sympathy with the onslaughts being made against trusts generally. If anything, he is rather favorably disposed towards them; but his personal opinions he keeps in the background in the effort to bring out evidence in connection with the charge that the Standard Oil company controls all the companies doing business in Missouri, and has so manipulated things that there is no competition there in the business, the territory being divided up among several companies, all of whom are controlled by Mr. Rogers and his dummies. If the case of the state of Missouri is successful, it will mean that the state will be opened to great private oil interests of Kansas, which are now unable to sell their product at any price. The Waters-Pierce company would lose its charter and the Standard and the Republic companies their licensee to do business within the state. Pipe lines would at once be run from Kansas oil fields and an outlet would be afforded which is now lacking for product of that state. "As to Mr. Rogers and his refusals to answer all pertinent questions, it is an exhibition of the latest methods adopted by the masters of Standard Oil. Next to a reputation for purity of personal living the surest way to reach the heart of the people is through its sense of humor. Mr. Rockefeller entertained the American Humorists' association in Cleveland, and now Mr. Rogers is taking advantage of his opportunity to pose as a humorist. It goes without my saying it that he is a very able and a very brilliant man, but his pose ought to be too transparent to deceive the public." A Mexican's Proof of Bravery. Jose Maria Huerta, with a number of friends was standing in a saloon at Guadaloupe, Mexico, recently, when he suddenly drew a pistol, and to show them how brave he was, declared he would kill the first person who passed, and, cocking his gun, he stood in the doorway waiting. Suddenly a shot was heard, and, looking out Huerta's companions saw Rafael Martinez, who happened to pass by, lyning in the middle of the street, in the death anonies. Huerta had kept his word. His friends, horrified at such a cold oiled murder, seized him and deliver, him to the police. Clay Model Heads of Various Houses the Latest Departure in Horticulture. Who remembers the time when there was not a popular craze? It seems impossible for people to ever without some pet fad or other beast ever so trivial or foolish. Ladies especially have a weakness in the direction, though with them usually takes the form of a new pet The gardening profession has not escaped the general search for novelties, and a year or two ago Japanese fern-balls were all the rage the qualnt fern figures were formed to represent various birds and animals These were readily bought by the novelty-seeking public. The latest qualnt idea of the gardener is clay model heads the ```markdown ``` A STUDY IN BEARD AND WIL. SKERES of which are marked by all manner of queer expressions. Around the scalp where the hair should grow, on the eyebrows; and on the upper lip, the models are cut in lines which reduces the clay to such a thickness that it is porous. These model heads are hollow, and have to be kept filled with water, and on the prepared places a special fine grass seed, which is supplied with the heads, is sown in the course of a week a fine crop of lovely silky grass sprouts out, giving the heads a very quaint and bright appearance. As the water evaporates or leaks through, the heads must be refilled. Quite a surprising number of different expressions and types can be produced with the same head, by varying the growth from an abundant crop in one place to a ragged growth in another, or entirely omitting to sow seeds in various places. A clear shaven, bald-headed, benevolent gentleman can be portrayed faithfully on the same head that with a different growth will show a man with abundant hair and long beard. Eyebrows can be grown or omitted at will, and since the heads are modeled with clinical expressions to start with, when grown in quaint designs they are certainly the most mirth-producing garden decoration that has been invented. GOVERNOR OF MOSCOW. Admiral Doubassoff Has Been Instrumental in Crushing the Rebellion in Russian City. St. Petersburg—Admiral Doubassoff, who is in command of the imperial troops at Moscow, and is governor general of the old capital of the caws, recently used stern measures in regretting the revolutionary outbreak recently. He is charged with having armed the Black Hundred, and to have aided in their desperate work. Doubassoff is a representative of the aristocratic reactionaries, and is not in touch with the reform movement believing that autocracy is the only run for Russia. Little is known of his naval exploits or of the achievements through which he has advanced, but his work in killing and imprisoning the revolutionists has been thorough and he has spared neither sex nor age. All who myn ADMIRAL DOUHASSOFF (Bussian Commander Who Crushed Rebellion in Moscow) have raised the red flag of rebellion have been mercilessly pursued and shot down, and at times even capitulation did not stop the bloody work The casualties among the rebels are reported to be enormous, and main because the orders of Doubassoff were so implicitly followed by those under his command. He is not an old man having reached only the age of 55, so what the future holds for him is not known. Should the fires of rebellion become as fierce in any other section of the csar's domain as it was Moscow, it is expected that the admiral will be transferred to the new scene of operation and be allowed to work his will. Arthur Boyle, depot master at Archison, Kan., says that rats carry away money almost as fast as it falls through the cracks of the platform. They are attracted by the brightness of the coin and by the fast that it bears the odor of the human body. + ’ ® . . dei eee = = “7 Ps ‘|disfranchising the colored man?]““THE TALLADEGE TEA-POT| American'is concerned.” 7 hateth wisdom.” white or black, ule : . oe. a i must-cast an untrammel the Bee.

W. Lyons at the ban- quet to Mr, Justice Robert H. Ter- rel] last Monday evening said among other things that the republican party is the only party to which the negra can go. The editor of The Bee does not agree with the distinguished gen- tleman from Georgia. If the republi- can party continues in its present attitude toward the negro it will find the negro hopelessly divided. At Pres- ent there is too much shown among republican managers. The negro is a political nonenity in all political parties and especially the republican party. He will never be a factor so Jong as he permits himself to be “hood winked” and “‘cajoled” by so-called white and colored republican leaders. There is no republican party now. There may be one in name but not in principal. If the colored’ man continues to allow himself to be misrepresented by party leaders the time will come when he will not be permitted to hold any kind of a respectable position. Manj republicans in office now say that the negroe’s place in this country is the “hewer of wood” and “dratver of water.” Mr, Lyons would have the negro support the republican party right or wrong, holy or unholy, pure or corrupt. ‘The negro must do as other people do. He is’an American, citizen-.or nothing, If he is an American citi- zen he is entitled to every protection wuaranteed to every other citizen. Register Lyons has great faith in the Republican party. He has more faith in it than it has in him, notwithstand- ing his large financial ‘contribution to the last tampaign committee arid great number of speeches he made and through his influence, and persuasion x large number of colored men, who had heretofore affiliated with the democratic partyy were’ brought into «line. Why should any man want any party that doesn’t want him. Mr. Lyons has committed no offense that has ted to his removal from office. He declared for the late Senator Hanna as did thousands of others. Mr, Lyons was ‘betrayed. He was toreed to employ a mid-wife before the baby was born, ‘It ‘happened to be a Hanna baby and not a Roosevelt. The Wizard -was the doctor. He was sent to prescribe after a diagnois of the case. He didn’t report for seve- ral months. The surgeon-in-chief of the national political hospital did not deem it wise or proper to discharge his patient after he had fully recover- ed from his political shock and a proper man found to succeed him. “Register Lyons should return to his home in the South and teach his con- stituents to support those who sup- port them. Believe no longer in the sham promises of the republican party, Let him tell them to think for them- ‘selves, and permit no one to think for them. The South will some day recog nize the ability of the negro, altheugh his face may be black. Throw away, Mr. Lyons, the trucking spirit that has been the characteristic of the office holder and quasi negro leader under this administration. Be a man and say to the world that you are an American citizen, IS IT NECESSARY? ‘There was held’ jn the city of New York last week a meeting of repre- sentative white and colored men. The object of the meeting was to file a protest in the North against southern ee Do these meetings in the North have any effect on those in the South who have been charged and indicted for disfranchiseing the colored man?

There are men in the South who went from the North doing good work, There are noble colored women in the South who went frei} the North and who have made sacrifices to elevate the ig- norant classes. Let us stop complain- ing and go to work and teach the ignorant colored man, woman and child that they must first fit them- selves for self-government before they will be permitted to handle the bal- lot.

From National Baptist Union. Our attention has been called ia a very significant and striking manner to the objects and labors of “The Afro-Ameri- can Council" We note that the Rev, L: G. Jordan, Corresponding Secretary of our Foreign Mission Board, is also Cor- responding Secretary of this organiza- tion, and that he is exerting himself most diligently with the hope that the organ: ization may, fill the place that it is des- tined to fill, and do the good for whith it came into existence. One special object of the Council, for which it deserves the highest commendation, is the untiring f- fort om its part to test the constitution- ality of the Jim Crow laws that "have been passed by the legislatures of the various Southern states. These laws are wnconstitutional, A: stiff, rigid, en- ergetic and incessant fight against them on the part of the colored péiple would in time reveal the fact that they are un- constitutional, and that they cannot stand the test. It takes money, however, to fight the battles of the race, and there is no source from which the money could be expected to come except from the ne- groes themselves. The Council is ap- ‘pealing to one million negroes for one [dollar cach, This dollar could be given, and a million dollars gotten together in ‘this fand, With one million dollars in its hands the Council could make a long. stubborn fight. It could enlist not only the sympathies of white people who be- ieve in simple justice and equality before ‘the Hw, but it could enlist in this ser- ‘vice some of the shrewdest, most capable and mos} successful constitutional Taw. yers in this county. The objects of the Council are fraught with miuch widdom. ‘The cause that they are undertaking to fight is the cause of the people. The ‘great question, as in all matters of this Kid, is, will the negrocs, treat them selves right, will they pay earnest heed to the admonitions of the Council; will thes put up the money that is necessary for their defense in this matter. Let us hope that they will, At alk events, we trust the Council will not grow weary. Revolutions do not come in a day. It requires a great deal of patience and sacrifice to deal effectively with the Knotty problems of the race, that make our stay and our citizenship hazardous in this country. Let the authorities of the Afro-American Council exercise this pa- rience; let then pursve the even tenor of their way with a marked degree of diligence, ‘Their cause is right; their contention is just; their methods are wise, and their fight cannot be in vain. We aie in very great sympathy with this organization, and in still greater syi- pathy with the people whom it is trying to serve., Then we admonish negroes everywhere, in all portions of the United States, to rally to the calls of the Coun- cil, encourage it by word and deed, and send its officers the money that they need to prosecute their claims. The ne- gro race has never fad anything except that for which it fought, and it seems now as if they will never get anything else, unless it is gotten over the stubborn protest of Southern legislatures, and the amazing silence of Northern white friends, The negro,must fight his own battles; it must,be done through his own organizations. The Afro-American Coun- cil is a Ingh type of manhood and brav- ‘ery. It believes in the power of self lexertion. If the race clings to it and supports it in the proper measures, much of the suffering of the race will be ameli- orated and prophecies of the good time to come will not be in vain, Afro-American voters now have a chance to support an organization that aims to protect their interest. We ought to put up the money for one @teat fight for all we have lost in the political arena, ‘If you are interestéd in this movethent, write Dr. L. G. Jordan, 726 W.

But even that, if they wished to appear rational, would havc to be confined to a mere passing senti- ment, unless there were negro applicant: for all positions fully as capable as white men, for it would be palpable folly to not take advantage of the best instruction obtainable. . ‘The dispatch, however, as we under- stand it, proclaims that the “striking” students object to a Southern white imag, not any white man, and as it states moreover,. that Talladega is “fostered” by the American Missionary Society ot New York, we take it that the latter organization sustains it and has, there: fore, the right to select its faculty. If there were any specific, individual objection to be brought against the farm superintenednt who is the cause of the “walk out” that, of course, would be a different. matter and common fairness would call for the students’ side of the question being presented before judg- ment in the premises was formed. But it hardly seems possible that anything of this,kind is true, since the secretary of thé American Missionary Society of New York is said to have been appealed to by the students and he upheld the president of the institute in insisting that the appointment should stand, The whole affair is a tempest in a tea-pot, to be sure, but, nevertheless, as we have said, it will be regretted by real well wishers of the negro, who recoguize in it a petty prejudice and unreasonable- pes that is sure to prove inimical to the advancement of the race—The Augusta Chronicle. | To our ‘minds fiothng aemongtrates more conclusively acuteness of \negro Prejudice and misguidance than the con- duct of the negro students at Howard University and Talladega College. The lynching of negroes in the South by the white rabble is no greater crime against Christian civilization than the reprehen- sible conduct of these students in march- ing out of school to show their resent- ment to white teachers, Both of these schools are supported by the charity of white men, yet the students who are the beneficiaries and wards of white men organize themselves into lawless mobs, “hoot” and “how!” like mad animals be- cause of the color of the teacher, “The same students who raise the color line against the teachers at Howard and Tal- ladega are the gangs which holler loud- ¢st about separate accommodation on the railroads and elsewhere. At Talladega and Howard negro boys and girls are getting their education practically free, yet they resort to mob law, and play the downright ingrate because their teachers are white. They practically contribute’ nothing to their personal up- life, yer they want to dictate the means of their uplift. It is indeed an unhoper ful sign to see our boys and girls in col- leges organizing themselves into mobs for the purpose of insulting their teach crs, The conduct of the students at Talladega is without parallel. It is the most acute and reprehensible exhibition! of race hatred in the annals of our rec« ollection, The students here did not strike bes! cause the farm superintendent was white, butebecause he was a Southerit white man, Here is a case of downright fool- heartedness, Here is a case that clearly demonstrates the negro's false idea and conception of an education. The quali- fication or fitness of the superintendent was never considered. He is a Southern white man, ‘and that settles it. And the students did reason. The « conclusion reached was—We will all aid, fools be- fore we will be enlightened and uplifted by a Southern white man, Many of these same negroes are Lossed and con- trolled at home every day by Southern white men; but with a‘smattering of Iet-| ters they walk away from their only op- portunity to make of themselves useful and helpful citizens, because they imag-_ ine a white man will not accord them: the treatment they demonstrate by their savage conduct they do not deserve. ‘A negro mob in a college looks, to The Indenendent fet Ylen a whiten annk| jHateth wisdom.” .

I will not deny that there have been some good results—the discovery of a few friends of the negro in the South, the strengthening of several of our, larg- er institutions of learning, and, above all, a persistent advance of the masses of the race iv wealth and intelligence. But, despite this, you and I must with sorrow acknowledge that, as a method of settling the political questi&us in the South and bringing peace and good will between the races the policy of concilia- tion and drift has been a miserable fail- ure; that, on the whole, instead of en- couraging the Southern friends af ,the negro to defend his political and civil rights, it has rather encouraged the low- er clements of the South with the thought that there is no limit to their’ forcing the negro back into virtual slav- ery, and that neither the nation nor the negro himself is capable of any effective protest against this reactionary policy. We have been told for twenty-five years. Let the South alone, and there] will be peace.’ Put the negro out of politics, and he will be happy and con- tented. What are the facts? For al quarter of a century the South has been let alone; not a single federal law, not a single judicial decision, scarcely an executive action, save in the case of a very few minor political appointments, has disturbed or hindered the Southern programme, . The nation has held its skirts aside and let those waters sweep on. Have we peace—is everybody contented —1s there a republican government in the South, or the signs of it? No, the black spectre is there, and always will be there until ie is laid" by justice, rather than force and fraud. As a matter of act, you cannot put human beings out of polities, you cannot under conditions of modern industrial life totally disfranchise a man, His very presence as a living, breathing, working being gives him a voice in the commu- nity. The result is that the more the South puts the negto out of politics the greater political question he inevitably Uecomes, so that today, after a quarter century of practical disfranchisement, the South is discussing and voting on the negro problem just as industriously as ever, 7 Nor can this ever stop until the negro| is made a man or relegated to a place, of practical slavery, voteless, voiceless, disunited, unthinking, machinclike work- ‘man, too ignorant to protest, too venal to care, warranted not to strike and to do more work for less wages than any other available competitor. ‘The oppressors themselves—that great class of Southerns who despise negroes, fear their ambition and are determined to crush them forever—are today mining the sense of right and justice in them- selves and their neighbers, There is in the South a class of up-| right, honest men and women, like the late Chancellor Walter Hill, who know the wrong ‘that is being perpetrated and| the fatal programme that is being car- ried out. But this class of men are ever being forced into silence, and continually the South is finding its leadership, not from its highest, but from its lowest, ethical stratum of Dixons and Varda- mans and Tillmans. ‘Two things can be done: First, if the South insists, despite the letter and spirit of the Constitution, in denying to a third! of its population a voice in its govern- ment the country has a perfect right to say.

New York.—In a vault at the Lincoln Safe Deposit company, in Forty-second street, is a very old painting with a romantic history. It is believed by those who own it to be an unfinished work by Raphael. The picture is alleged to be the long-lost "Last Supper," which was stolon or disappeared during the Spanish pillage of Rome in 1527. That there was such a picture, and that it was an unfinished work, art histories show. It is also a matter of history that it disappeared at the time mentioned. One hundred and fifty years ago the picture, now in the Lincoln vault, is alleged to have been in the possession of an old Spanish sailor, who lived in a hovel near New Orleans. He kept it locked in a tool chest, and would never show it, not even to his family. He is supposed to have got it either by theft or by purchase in Spain. 316 41/2 STREET, S. W.

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

Rev. David H. Greer to the cathedral of St, Jobn the Divine, of this city. The two women met 20 years ago ta the town of thelr adoption—Mount Vernon, Miss Gill havizg lived until that timo In her native city of Man- chester, England, and Miss Gibsom kaving come to America from Edin- burgh, Scotland. Both interested themselves in the affairs of the Epis- wapal church of the little suburb, and socn & warm friendship sprang up which grew more strong as the years went by and the families of each died. At Christmas times, upon birth- days and at various occasions the two friends presented each other with rifts of jewelry. Among other ar- ticles was a brooch given by Miss Gill to Miss Givson in a design which the donor herself had devised. it repre- sented the change from the off church to the new, and was made of two gold ram’s horns, on the end of one of Which was a crescent of rubles repre- seuting the Mohammedan religion, and pon the qther was a diamond star to “sepreseht the birth of Christ. At the base where the two horns met was 2 a wo kt lie mM a Maltese cross symbolizing the church ef to-day. It was hoped by Miss Gill that the Geslgn could be, left intact when the “ewelers made the chalice, but it was found impracticable, and the brooch vas melted up with the rest. The jewels were set into the upper pait of the chalice, with many other rubies, garnets, turquoises and smaller stones. There were six large white elamonds, each between one and two- carat welght,?which have been used for a circlet in the collar of the chal- ice. An opal with a large diamond on either side was set into the chalice exactly as they were set in a ring which Miss Gibson iad given her friend two years ago, when the re- markable compact was made. It was up in the Maino woods, where the friends had gone to spend a few weeks, that they first thought of the ultimate disposal of thelr many, pretty sitts, “We decided,” sald Miss Gill speaking of the matter, “that there ‘were none to whom we ¢ared to-give these various pleces of jewelry, for cach of us was the last of her fam- ‘ly; so we sgreed that they should go to the church, Little did we think at the time that the church would re- ceive the chalice so soon, for Miss Gibson was In the best of health—in fact, she was so up to within seven weeks of her death.” “Was It not strange that your own church In Mount Vernon, where you two had labored so long, was not pre- vented with the chalice?" she was asked, “Yes, that has been discussed and commented upon by many of the parishioners,” sald Miss Gill, “but it was left to me to decide, and, al- whough it did cause some feeling, I teel that I did right to give it to the cathedral, for there it would always he safe from mortgages, fire or thieves, and there are always those dangers in a small church. Of course. if it had been perfectly ‘safe I should perhaps have been better pleased to have given the cup to the Church of the Ascension, which my father was instrumental in establishing and where I have had charge of the chan- cel for so many years, but after think- ing ft all over it seemed the wisest and safest course to give it to the ca- thedraL” . Rer. Dr. F. M. S. Taylor, rector of the Ascension church, when aske? whether Miss Gill's gift to the cathe- dral in New York, instead of to the Mount Vernon church was approved o!

(Newly Instajed Governor of New Mex: hop man made an address,in which he lauded President Roosevelt. Mr, Hagerman is one of the young- est men to occupy the position of gov- ‘rnor in the United States. He was born ih Milwaukee, in 1871, and is but Uetle more than 34 yeara old, The recently appointed governor of Okla- homa is a few months younger, Gov. Folk of Missouri a year older. Mr. Hagerman is a product of the west. He spent his boyhood In Colorado. Afterwards he removed to New Mex- iv. He is unmarried. Hagerman was appointed in 1897 by President McKinley, second secretary of the United States embassy in Rus- sla. E. A. Hitchcock, now secretary of-the Interlor, was then ambassador aL St Petersburg. It was largely due to his good work as secretary of the embassy, both under Mr, Hitchcodk and Jater under Charlemagne Tower that his present appointment was se- cured. Mr, Hitchcock urged the ap- pointment upon President Roosevelt. Following as {t did close upon that of another young man to a similar position, the Inference was drawn that Mr. Hagergian secured his place through former connection with the rough riders, as did the governor of Oklahoma, but this is a mistake. Mr Hagerman has never seen sailitdry service. He has met President Roose- yelt several times, and no doubt made a favorable impression on hin, or the appointment would not have been made, but he cannot claim the presi- dent for a personal friend nor to have secured his position through such friendship. x TAKES HARPER'S PLACE.

Barrett, the schoolmaster-historian of Okla- boma, completes his life of Geronimo and prepares it for submission to the Seoretary of, war for the latter’s zp- /proval, the sequel of the story will -bave been changed to sult a new or- ‘er of affairs that the famous Apache ‘Warrior has himself instituted. Ge- ronimo’s marriage to Mrs. Mary Loto ig doubtless the last important event in bis life, It is a singular crowning event of his 76 years and marka a new epoch in the annals.af Apache history, singular in that the chief violates all the preceding customs of his’tribe by taking unto himself a wife at an age when Indians look upon members of thelr tribe as dead to all intents and purposes. The old warrior was cute enough to keey his marriage a secret for six days. One day recently he took a stroll over the Fort Sill reservation, as usual, and returned late in the evening, as usual, and none of his nelghbors knew that an {mportant event had happened. He had entered the home of a poor Indian widow whose husband had been dead for more than two years, spoke words of comfort to her, wooed her a bit, and Proposed that she should take shelter underhisroof. Mary Loto could scarcely do aught but acco ane she’ packed ‘up & few of her scant belongings and the two trekked across the reserva- tlou after the sun had gone to bed“ took up their abode in the home of the warrior, and were man and wife by all that is lawfil by common creed, consent or otherwise. ‘ In a day or two the historian found it out, but his discovery was kept a secret as inviolate as the warrior’s, - en (Sie [ a Pad om 5 Zz iy yy (i AN Vga ZA Ns Ge LE 1 AEE IG i LEIS fad ant, Wy Mh Pap tan | MH) ria p 4 wt “de GERONIMO.” (Famous Indian Warrlor Who kecently Wed His Eighth Wife) -and he \walted for an opportunity to break the news (6 the world.’ When ‘it broke the entire tribe gave nitter- ance to gieat joy, and one by one they went over to the Geronimo home and | cxpressed in a crude’ and aboriginal tashion thelr hearty congratulattons— and some of the maidens looked on in envy and sume in commiseration. ‘The tribe celebrated for two. or three days afterward, but in a quiet *and fecret_ manner. | The names of the first seven wives of Geronimo are sacredly in the safe- keeping of the historlan soun to tell aus story. Possibly no other man in America has this information, nor no other man can get It, for to Mr. Bar- iett has ‘Geronimo, for the first and set time in his ‘ong life, opened the toors of himself and told what he has seen and done. | Geronimo ts sald to have seven chil- dren, Some of them are married, some are dead, and one, little Mary, Ives at home with her father and with her new mofher. The seventh wife died about twe years ago, singularly about the time of the demise of the husband of his last wife. . This benedict has never practiced polygamy to a great extent. His life up to the time, about 20 years ago, that he was made a United States prisoner of war, was the busiest of any Indian in the west. He lived to be active, to fight battles, to scalp white women and to burn villages. His thought, therefore, of a home, a wife and pleasant environments was the least of the nerve actions that surged about In his brain. But time has changed the old man; his head is bending low; his heart js turning toward the good things and he must go Geronimo's friends tell that he will never again ask for his liberty as a prisoner of war. For two years he has lived a life of dissatisfaction, and he scarcely knew just what he wanted. Dut a wedding changed him, and he is a diferent man from that of two months ago. Mrs, Geronimo the eighth {s a hand- some woman of 50 years or more. Her welght Is about 200 pounds, her form athletic, her eyes a pale brown, her features clear and half fair, her face round and full, her hair black and ele- gantly combed. She knows the clean- Mness that civilization has brought out here, and she knows the house- hold duties of a mate to a man. She is cheerful and happy, and meets you with a smile if you are welcome, with a frown and a growl if you are not.

H. The instroment was bullt by Henry Pratt, a native of Winchester, who, like his father, was a carpenter by trade. Tt chanced that in the year 1786, at 19 years of age, he went with his A Hi nth TT cH oT MH ae ea | wasn WS 3 father to assist in bullding a church in Hudson, N. Y. While there he obtained a draft of an organ In that locality, which had been brought over from England. This draft ‘Pratt’ took home. with him and showed it to one of the most Prominent of Winchester’s citizens, Capt. Smith. The captain at once evinced intense Interest, and made the following proposition to Pratt: “If you will bufld the organ, I will give you a bushel-of rye per day while you are-building it, and if you succeed in making an acceptable Instrument, I will pay you $300 additional.” Pratt began work immediately, and one year later, in the summer of 1789, he finished the organ. After due con- sideration it was pronounced a suc- cess, ahd was accepted and pafd for ‘by Capt. Smith, who at once presented it te the citizens of Winchester, It was first used by the Congrega- tional society, the only denomination in town holding service at that time. For about 60 years it was in con- stant use by elther the Congregation- alists or the Universalists. In 1842 the organ was sold by vote of the town, at auction, and became the property of the Un{versalists. Soon after'this it was taken apart and repaired by Jullus Pratt, son of the miaker. After this it did good serv- ice again for some time. For want of care, however, it became out of or- der and remained useless for four or five years. It was then made over and tepaired to some extent, and was used until 1877, when the society bought @ pew reed organ. | The old instrument in 1903 was taken down and removed to the new library building, where it is to-day. |, The case is of pine, grained to iml- ‘tate mabogany, and was originally 120 ‘inches high, 62 inches wide and 36 inches deep. There were ornamented ‘gilded pipes in front. Gilded angles also adorned it overhead. The keys were formerly of mahog- any, with a narrow strip of tvory run- ‘ning through the top of the sharps. In the center of the natural keys were pleces of ivory about half an inch square. These were replaced by more modern keys when tlie organ was re- paired. There was a foot pedal to blow it with.

Commercial Traveler Declares That Great Success Has Attended His Charitable Endeavors—Baid to Be Demented. Paris.—Albert Saltzman, of Paris, is acquiring an extraordinary reputation among the poor of the capital and provinces for curing all diseases and healing all wounds by the touch of his hands. This man, who positively refuses to accept pay for his cures, is only a traveling salesman in wines and It appears well authenticated that he has cured several cases of what seemed absolute blindness and many of paralysis, of tumor and of injuries received by falls from great heights. The pious people of Huetgoat, a town in Brittany, vow he cured 200 sufferers there. "I content myself by invoking the divine power upon those who come to me with faith that the Creator cares for His creatures," said Saltman. "One day ten years ago a man fell from a houseet. As he lay bleeding before me a voice cried within me: 'Go to this suffering man and heal him.' Then I knew power was given me to be the vehicle of that healing that belongs to the Creator. "I laid hands on the fallen man. A shock like that of an electric current seemed to flash through all my being. Arounded, dazed, the man arose, thanked me profusely and walked away. I never saw him again, but since then, as you know, the same power has continued to go out from me and the poor bless God." Saltman spoke modestly, with sewing sincerity, not boastfully. He continued "Every day 200 letters from all over France bring me requests, prayers, that I visit the ill and the injured I file their letters and when my business travels take me near to the writers I heal them. I make rich patients give according to their means to their local charities, for I will not sall the divine favor." A physician of La Salpetriere hospital takes the startling position that Saltzman is insane, although his cures are authentic. Possibly the doctor's theory is that Saltzman communicates to the superstitious and ignorant his faith in his power, which really does not exist, and their faith, acting on and through their nervous systems, cures nervous diseases, including diseases apparently organic but really nervous. "Bull, to cure so works good," was remarked. "No, it does much harm," the doctor retorted. "The growing confidence in gachery aggravates many malades. Persons who might have been cured by metal and material means within the employment of modern science suffer and die, victims of their stupid beliefs." CLOCK PRESAGES A DEATH Anepiece Strikes One, and Three Days Later Veteran Manufacturer Pames Away. Springfield, O.—A strange phenomenon at the home of the late Alphonse Ferrell a veteran manufacturer and placer citizen, is causing much discussion. Mr Ferrell was sick several months. In his bed chamber was an old clock, which had not been wound up for at last two years before his death. It was held as a relic, as it was purchased by Mr Ferrell shortly after he went to housekeeping some 40 years ago. On the third night before he died the old clock struck once at midnight. Mr. Ferrell had suffered a relapse, and the watchers at his bedside thought that the end was near. The clock striking started them. The next night and the following one the clock struck once at the midnight hour. Those on watch investigated and became convinced that no one had wound up, as the key could not be found. Mr. Ferrell died Tuesday afternoon. That night the clock struck again at 12 o'clock. The next night Alphonso Ferrell a nephew of the deceased, and Mrs. Cooper Ludlow, another relative, sat up. The clock struck one at 12 o'clock. At no other hour does the clock strike, and the family is at a loss to know why the clock commenced striking just three days before Mr. Ferrell's death. Wardland, N. J.—Theodore Prelinghynen George Washington Abel, blind in honor of Theodore Prelinghynen, who once presented Pennsylvania in congress, has acquiredassador title, the "badness wonder." He is an innate of the soldiers' home here and has not worn a hat for 40 years. Rain or shine, in zero weather or stainless. Abel walks from the home into town bereaved, claiming that nature intended man to live that way. Although 68 years old, Abel is hale and hearty and seldom has a cold. He arced throughout the civil war and after one battle was one of 16 to answer roll call out of a regiment of 1640, the rest being killed and miserable. "Money taker" is a common expression among business men. In these circumstances in the fact that a British millionaire is prepared to invest £60,000 in Russian enterprises can only be described as eloquent, as the capitalist is notoriously the most nervous of men. Marquette, Mich.-More interesting than even the aftermath of a cyclone are the curious things in connection with the explosion of a nitroglycerin mixing house of a powder mill, which wrecked ten of the 30 buildings of a plant near this city and blew to atoms five men in the plant at the time. One of the strangest sights is a steel rail from the tramway tied in a knot around the trunk of a pine tree. The rail is 32 feet long and weighs 12 pounds to the foot. It is turn up from the track leading from the nitroglycerin factory to the mixing-house, and tied in a loop knot, with the other end of the rail uplifted from the ground. For nearly half a mile in every direction from the scene of the explosion were scattered particles of iron, rock and debris from the mixing-house. Searching parties were organized by the company officials, and men sent to different parts of the woods and on the river to look for the remains of the workmen killed. Across the Dead river, fully 1,600 feet from where the mix-in-house stood, a piece of a man's scalp three inches in diameter was picked up by one of the searchers, while further away on the river a portion of a hip weighing about three ounces was found. Here and there on the snow were particles of flesh, blackened and burned almost beyond resemblance of being part of a human being. The pieces were assembled in a small wooden box and the remains recovered of the five men would not fill a box 12 inches square. SMUGGLES BABE IN BASKET Mother Hides Child to Avoid Steamship Fare—Registered New York.—Anna Strotovky arrived here from Naples in the steerage of the Cunarder Pannonia. She went aboard the steamer at Naples alone, and was unaccompanied when she stepped on the barge which took her from Pannonia to Ellis island. Yet all the way on the voyage she fondled an 18-months-old baby. Where did the child come from? Whose was it? These were questions asked by the steerage passengers on the Pannonia. Mrs. Strotovky kept much to herself throughout the trip and threw no light on the identity of the infant except to say that he was her own. The baby disappeared as mysteriously as he had come aboard when the Pannonia docked. The magic way in which the child appeared and disappeared was discovered in the discharge room at Ellis Island. Mrs. Stro托yk rushed into the arms of her husband, who had come from Paterson, N. J., to meet her, and in her anxiety dropped a covered wicker basket, firm which instantly came the cries of a baby. She explained that she had smuggled the baby into the country in that fashion, fearing the steamship company would make her pay the child's fare. The immigration officers insisted on having the baby registered, and the name of alien Jakel Stro托yk was recorded on the books. CAPTURES CREWSOME RELIC Captain of British Steamer Gets Away with "Ju-Ju" Insignia of Human Sacrifice. London.—A "ju-ju"-a double mask, with a man's head on one side and a woman's on the other, which is worn by medicine men in southern Nigersia while celebrating their horrible sacrifices of human beings—has been captured under remarkable circumstances by Capt. Frederick Shaldrake of the steamer Banana. "While at Old Calabar," says a correspondent, "Capt. Shaldrake heard the tomtoms beating in the bush. Curiosity led him to go ashore with two or three of his chief officers, armed with revolvers, to see what was going on. He found the Africans sacrificing to the 'ju-ju,' and already several victims had their heads chopped off at one sweep of sword or cutlass. "Ian an instant Capt. Shaldrake made for the 'ju-ju,' pulled the mask off the medicine man's shoulders, and ran off with it, followed by his officers, revolvers in hand. "This daring feat partly paralyzed the African spectators, who, if they followed at all, did so too late, for the captain reached his boat with the trophy." New Light on Parables. Lecturing before the College of Physicians at Edinburgh, Dr. W. P. Robertson announced experiments made by himself and two colleagues since 1802 tended to show that paralysis and its allied disease, tapes dorsalis, are as specific in their sensation as tuberculosis and diphtheria. Apparently they are traceable to a micro-organism resembling diphtheria bacillus, which is constantly present in the alimentary or respiratory regions. It also is found in the blood and cerebro-spinal fluid. Siegum Heroes Galera It is said that more than 400 persons in New York have received Slocum medals or certificates for their work at the Slocum wreck. Apparently it would be a real distinction for a Slocum hero to go without a decoration. A Partisan Opinion. The London Saturday Review thinks that war is less immoral and shocking to the finer senses than an election. We infer that our contemporary does not like the outcome of the present British contest. BUILT WITHOUT BRICK, STREET GIRDERS OR TIMBER. Twelve-Story Fireproof Hostelry at Atlantic City Made Without the Usual Clamor—Hollow Tile Is Used in Construction. Atlantic City, N. J.—An absolutely fireproof hotel, 12 stories high, built without a brick, steel beam, girder or column, is Atlantic City's latest novelty. A structure like it is not to be found anywhere else. For various reasons—one being that the noise of erecting a steel frame building would have driven away guests from adjoining hotels—the builders and architects were called upon for plans by which it would be possible to put up a structure 326 feet long and 100 feet high, without the racket made by steel riveters and stone workers. The first exclusively hollow tile and cement building on a large scale is the result. The necessity for keeping comparatively quiet was only one trouble of the builders of this architectural wonder. At the very outset the contractors were confronted with a foundation problem which was finally solved by driving 1,300 piles into the sand of the beach by jettying. On this foundation a frame of concrete uprights and girders, strengthened with steel rods, was raised. Next came the walls and floors, all of fireproof hollow tile. Outside the tile is pebble-dashed, and gives a handsome and substantial appearance. Inside the plaster is applied directly to the tile. In the floors hollow tile is used between reenforced cement, thus saving weight and making of the transverse, as well as the upright partitions, so many impassable fire barriers. Comparatively low cost, great saving in time and fireproof qualities unapproached in any other form of construction are the special advantages claimed for this new style of building. Beginning work June 17, the builders were able to promise to complete the job so quickly that the hotel could be furnished and ready for business February 1. Noteworthy features of the new seashore palace will be that every room will have a bath and a bay window. There are two sun parlores, one 25 feet wide and heated by six elaborate fireplaces, overlooking the board walk, and another running the length of the hotel; but from the view point of the hotel patron the best thing about this new hostelry is that it cannot burn. Engineers and builders are deeply interested in the novel features of construction developed in this hotel (the Marlborough-Blenheim), and many experts have been here to inspect it. LIVED IN THREE CENTURIES Bangor, Me.-Aunt Lorica Cox has celebrated her one hundred and sixth birthday at her home with her daughter, Mrs. Louisa Ann Shaw, in West Harrington. It is said that she is the only woman in New England who has lived in three centuries. In spite of her years she eats three meals a day with relish, and neither pain nor restlessness disturb her slumbers. Mrs. Cox has vivid recollections of all the wars the United States has engaged in since its independence as a nation, was acknowledged by England, for she has lived through them all. Her husband, James Cox, died in the civil war, he having enlisted in a company D, Twenty-second Maine volunteers. Mrs. Cox is a living witness against the theory that tobacco prevents longevity, for she is an inveterate smoker, having acquired the habit in childhood by lighting her mother's pipe. INDIANS ARE MADE INSANE One Death Occurs and Half of Tribe Are Suffering from Partaking of Mexican Bean. Winnebago Indian Agency, S. D.—Thomas Hill, one of the most prominent men is the Winnebago tribe, is dead, a dozen or more are violently insane and will probably die, and half the tribe are suffering more or less from the effects of eating large quantities of Mexican insane beans. The beans were eaten as a part of the ripe of a new religion that was introduced into the tribe by visiting members of a southern tribe several months ago. Agent McSheiridge reports that he is unable to check the freeway or stop the importation from Mexico of the beans, which are said to first derive insane and then cause the death of those eating them. Blindle Inventors Lead All Illinois ranks first among all the states as possessing the highest percentage of inventive genius, according to the annual report of the commissioner of patents made to congress. While the total Illinois patients is exceeded by that of New York, the average in comparison with the population is higher than that of the Empire state. Of the 26,798 patients issued by the department last year Illinois furnished 2,293, or one to every 1,649 of its inhabitants. Points in Arkansas Geography. Zion, Izard county, darkest Arkansasaw, is on Strawberry creek, and is eight or nine miles from Gld. Yell county is in another part of the state—but we haven't time to tell you all we know about Arkansasaw. Owingaville, Ky.-The four Spence sisters, daughters of Rev. Allen Spence, an elder of the "Holiness" religious sect of the Moore's Ferry section of this county, evidently think there is better fish in the matrimonial sea than Lewis Bexton, a young farm hand, and have each lilted him in turn. Sexton came here a few days ago and secured a marriage license to take Miss Clarinda Spence as a wife. Sexton had with him the written consent of the girl, and secured the license without trouble. He did not go after his promised bride at once, but concluded to wait until the next day, as he thought his license would keep without ice. Next morning Sexton put on his "Sunday best" and went to the Spence residence, where he was informed that Clarinda, believing that as Sexton had not appeared the night before he had concluded to desert her, and Edgar Highly, a former sutor, having appeared on the scene, she had eloped to Ohio with him and been married. Sexton was inconsolable for an hour or so, but at last said that he supposed as the license contained the name of Spence it would make no difference to him which one of the Spence girls he married, and he alternately proposed to each of his former sweetheart's three sisters, but was rejected by each. His pleadings of the wasted license availed nothing, and he was fored to return home without a wife. Sexton's first wife died only a few months ago. UNBINDING. FEET IS A FAD. Chinese Women Coming Around to Modern Way of Thinking in Regard to Footwear. Peking.—When a little company of the foreign women living in Shanghai formed themselves into the Tien Tau Hui (Natural-Feet Society), they were greeted with derision by everybody. But they gave and collected little sums of money, gave prizes for essays, selected tracts and had them printed, and themselves circulated them throughout the length and breadth of the vast empire—as big as Europe. When Chinese men in their tens of thousands assembled for their annual or triennial examinations little assortments of these tracts were given for each competitor to take back to his native village. At last the dowager empress issued an imperial edict. Then, one by one, the great Chinese viceroyss issued proclamations against net binding generally in response to an interview or a letter from the organizing secretary of the Natural-Feet society. And now, by post, a letter from the far west of China says: "China is changing in a rapid way; unbound feet is the order of the day for little girls now; foreign style of clothes for boys, and drill everywhere." While from Shanghai comes the most delightful report of the most encouraging side of the movement. The rich Shanghai officials have started a Tien Teu Teu girls' school for the girls of good family who have either not bound their feet or have unbound them, with the hope that the girls there educated may eventually become teachers in other schools all over China. RECAINS SPEECH IN ANGER. Mute's Bedmate: Takes All the Covering aid's Cases Needed Burst Stockton, Cal.-Angered at being robbed of covering by a bedfellow so excited Dave Miller, a deaf mute who recently came to this city from Salt Lake City, that he regained both speech and hearing. Miller became a deaf mute following an attack of typhoid fever over a year ago. He was on his way from Bakerfield to Sacramento to work in the car shops there and stopped ever in this city for a few days. He shared his bed in a lodging house with a fellow sufferer from financial stringency. The night was cold and Miller's bedfellow rolled up in all of the covering, leaving the deaf mute inclosed in nothing but silence and shivers. Miller awoke so angry that he forgot his misfortune and attempted desperately to curse the despoiler of his warmth. Something in his head snapped and Miller cursed volubly and distinctly. He also heard. TEUTON UNIVERSITY ROLL. There Are New 48,300 Students in Twenty-One Institutions in Germany. Berlin.—There has been a remarkable increase in the number of students attending Germany's 31 universities. The total number of matriculated students is now 42,390, as compared with 39,117 tea years ago. The University of Berlin has the largest total, the number of matriculated students being 8,081. Bonn has 2,908 and Heidelberg 1,442. The faculty of law was the best attended, having 12,139 students, as compared with 4,975 a decade ago. One of the most remarkable facts of these statistics is the rapid, continuous decrease in the students of Protestant theology. Within the last decade these have decreased from 4,437 to 2,188, while the students in Catholic theology have increased from 1,079 to 1,460.

UNDERGROUND WATERS TO RECLAIM ARID LAND. Government Experts Find That Stream May Be Used in Restoring Desert—Will Prove Strong Impetus to Farming. Lincoln; Neb. — The reclamation service of Washington has concluded its investigation of the valley of the South Platte, between North Platte and Sterling, and on the strength of its report, soon to be made, inexpensive farming will receive a big impetus. Since the passage of the national irrigation act special attention has been paid to the underground waters of the great plains and means of bringing them into services sought. These underground waters belong to two general classes and are divided with reference to the geological character of the formations in which they are found. The first of these is found in Dakota sandstone and occurs under sufficient pressure to cause it to rise an appreciable distance above the level at which the drill meets it, thus forming artesian wells. The other is known as the underflow or sheet water, and is found in sands and gravels. Its occurrence is very general all over the great plains at various depths, and the problem of utilizing it for irrigation, if successfully solved, means the reclamation of extensive areas of wonderfully productive soil which are to-day worthless save for grazing. The report finds that the quality of the gravels is especially favorable for the construction of wells of large capacity, that pumping plants can be economically constructed and proved profitable where the soil and markets are favorable. Where the valley reaches a considerable depth it would seem practicable, in the opinion of the experts, to construct a central power station and transmit power to small pumping plants on small holdings of irrigable lands. At Sterling it is suggested such power could be secured from the large sugar factory. At other points these factories could be established and the powerful and expensive engines utilized during the irrigation season to generate electricity, to be transmitted over a large section of the valley adjacent to the factory, to pump underground waters for growing sugar beets. Under present conditions, during a large part of the year, the engines remain idle. In fact, they are never in operation until after the irrigation season is closed. The situation seems to call for numerous small pumping plants of such small cost that individuals could install them, rather than for a single large plant, and there can be no doubt that it will be cheaper to build numerous plants, not to exceed in capacity 2,500 gallons per minute each, than to attempt to install more plants. Good lands in the valley of the South Platte are in large part still lying idle and settlers able to make the best use of the present water resources are very much desired. TRAPPED BY HIS WHISKERS Texas Man Bends Over in Splitting Log and Beard Catches in Crack Holding Him 12 Hours. Pilot Grove.—Darius Judd, who lives two miles from here, went to the woods the other day to chop. In splitting a red oak log he was bending over to remove the wedge from the half split to a point further up the trunk. The glut that held the split open after he had taken out the wedge slipped from its place. Farmer Judd wears a chin full of long, heavy whiskers. This beard dropped into the split of the log as Judd bent over, and when the two sides came to with a snap they caught the whiskers and held them fast, with Farmer Judd's chin drawn close against the log. This happened at eight o'clock in the morning. Until nearly eight o'clock in the evening Judd was held by his whiskers with his chin to the log, unable to move an inch out of his position, let alone extricate himself. In the meantime he had aboutled himself to cause calling for help. He was two miles from home, in an out of the way part of the woods, and it was not until his non-arrival home at supper time that his family became alarmed and sent out searchers for him, who found him almost dead from the effects of his 12 hours' captivity. Notwithstanding that Farmer Judd was prouder of his long and luxuriant board than anything else he possessed, he ordered them a sacrifice to his wife's shears as soon as he was able to after his separation from the log. Railroad Buys Up Town To further its desire to secure a double track for the Cleveland & Pittsburgh division from Steubenaville to Bellaire, O., the Pennsylvania company completed a deal which transfers to it every house and highway in the town of Burlington. The town, an ancient one, has about 250 houses, and stretches from the river to the hills. The company will surface it this summer and establish large yards. The amount involved was about $200,000, it is said. His Office Boy Lost A New York physician has published a "lost, strained or stolen" advertising for "one red-head."

Fifty Cases in Cleveland Last Year Ascribed to Doctor's Advice—Facts in Health Report. Cleveland, O.-On Dr. Osler, noted for his old-age suicide theory, is placed the blame for 50 suicides in Cleveland last year. Out of 83 cases of self-destruction in this city during 1905, 50 of those who killed themselves were past the age of 40 years. In commenting upon this fact, shown by the annual report of the health department for 1905, Health Officer Friedrich expressed his opinion that the agitation resulting from the announcement of the Osler theory was responsible for this condition. "Many of these, on reading the opinion of Dr. Osler concerning the age when men pass their period of usefulness and his theory regarding their being put out of the way when the period of usefulness was over, became despondent," said he. "The theory was a nonsensical one, and Dr. Osler himself was not serious when he expressed the opinion. The time when a person becomes old differs and depends entirely upon the individual. Some men are old at 40. Others stay young and are useful members of society for a period nearly twice as great." The report shows that 33 persons committed suicide by taking poison, and that of this number 15 were past the age of 40. Twenty persons committed suicide by hanging. Of these 16 were past the middle age. Five were past 60 years. Eleven of the 16 who committed suicide by shooting themselves were over 40. Seven were over 50. WOMEN LEAD AS USURERS. London.—Astonishing revelations as to the methods of business pursued by women money lenders in London were made during an investigation here. As much as 130 per cent. a year is exacted. It would naturally be supposed that these women Shylocks would be more susceptible to feelings of consideration towards their victims than the ordinary male usurer. As a matter of fact, instances were given in which they exacted their pound of flesh to the utmost from the poor wretches who had fallen into their clutches, and were hard as adamant in face of the most heartrending conditions. All the women are Jewesses, most of them of advanced age, and their trade is carried on under the guise of loan, discount or banking companies. In one or two cases the women keep in the background, and their transactions are carried on by a male representative, but the majority do all their office work themselves. The women use methods for collecting their money which the most rapacious male usurer would not think of employing. Some of them have been known to stop their "clients" in the street, and bully them publicly, while householders who have fallen behind in their payments have had stones thrown through their windows by the frate lenders. BRANDY IS 150 YEARS OL Leading London Hotels Have Ancient Product, But French Cellars Take the Lead. London.—The three bottles of 1783 brandy sold in Paris a day or two age for $16 a bottle by no means provide an absolute record in point of age. In half a dozen London hotels anyone may obtain century old liqueur brandy. At the Hotel Cecil guests may drink "Boulein" of the year 1800, while comparatively youthful brandy which has only spent 75 years in the same bottle seems quite cheap in comparison. The senior brandy at the Saroy is entering its second century, for it dates back to Trafalgar year—1805. It costs $20 a bottle. Two varieties of 1683 brandy may also be obtained. Yet these brandises are in their cairn youth compared with some venerable spirits in the cellars of some old French families—brandises which are over 150 years old and only see the light once in a decade, at weddings and similar epoch making events. GRAVE REGISTERS VISITORS Tailor Has Invented Receipts in Which Those Visiting Cemetery May Leave Memoriam. York, N.Y. - A. H. Kehr, a tailor, has been granted a patent on an odd and grassweave invention. It is styled "remembrance card box" and is intended to be installed in cemeteries, the idea doubles, being inspired by a custom which prevails in Paris. The box has the general appearance of a mail box, and is intended to receive the visiting cards of persons who think enough of the dead to visit the graves over which one of the new devices is erected. The box is of velvet, with Venetian iron trimmings, having a glass front and being draped inside with black cloth. It is mounted on a metal post, imbedded in stone. York capitalists are organizing a company to promote the invention. Trouble Knough. The Moorish commissioner at Algeciras took all his wives with him.
