In oratory and prayer tribute was paid the memory of Abraham Lincoln last night in many of the churches of Washington. Most elaborate programs were presented at the First Congregational and McKendree churches. In the former the celebration was in charge of Burnside Post, Grand Army of the Republic, while the United States Historical Society had charge in the other instance. Praises of Lincoln were sun in many other places. At McKendree Church The medal day of Lincoln was celebrated in the McKendree Church by lengthy program of speeches and some the meeting was presided over by Major J. H. Stone. The opening hymn "Onward, Christian Soldier," sung by church choir, was followed by a poem by representative Birdsall, who poke of the appropriateness of celebrating the birthday of one who has so much for his country. Follow an address by Col. J. Edwin Browne. Dr. Franklin gave a description of the tragedy of Lincoln's death. "Tenting insight" followed by the choir of the church. Representative Holloway the reviewer the life of Lincoln. "We Fxtol Thee, O Lord" was sung by the choir. The favorite poem of Lincoln. "Why Should the Spirit of Mortal Proud," by William Knox was recited by Mr. Hardy. General Grant, who was the assistant secretary of war under President Harrison, recounted many incidents in the life of the martyrred president. The Great Liberator. The most ardent speech of the evening was delivered by Cant. B. B. Doverer, of West Virginia, who called Lincoln the great Librator. The allusion coming as it did from one who halls from the South, brought cheer after cheer from the large audience. Captain Doverer spoke of the good feeling with which the entire counter savers the name of Lincoln, and said that now where in the Union did the name of Abraham Lincoln stand for more than in the South. A poem written for the occasion by Mrs. J. Walter Mitchell was read Speeches by Generals Raum and J. J Jenkins ended the ceremonies. MR. R. P. HAMLIN. One of the most active voicing men connected with the Young Men's Christian Association is Mr. R. P. Hamlin. who was given a farewell reception last Sunday afternoon in True Reformer's Hall. Mr. Hamlin will take up the work in New York City, to which place he has been transferred. He is one of the highest and most active young men in the work and his services will be greatly missed in the city. It is to be regretted that such a valuable man is to leave the community in which he has done so much. The exercises last Sunday were more than interesting. Mr. Hamlin left Thursday. What I Saw And Heard What I Saw And Heard There ase lots of dissatisfied people in the community. Nothing seems to please them. Attorney Fountain Peyton is responsible for the new term, H. O. T. Writ and ask him. People who do the credit business know what Mr. Peyton means. Judge Alexander Mullonay has been complimented for his good work in the police Court. Judge Mullonay has unoubtedly surprised his friends. Judge Moss, the veteran of Anacostia, is a genius. Very philosophic in his utterances and at times very cunning. The new police court is making great headway. If the weather continues to be good it will be but a few months before it will be completed. The Waiters and Ex-waiters Association is doing quite well. From the many organizations in this city one would presume that a large hall could be constructed. Many of the colored attorneys are of the opinion that it is important they get together. They ought to unite if they know how much good there is in organization. There are two great organizations in his city, the True Reformer's and the St. Luke. There are several insurance companies that are doing well. It is gratifying to see these organization succeed. The colored people have faith in them. They have come to realize the importance of going into business. There is a movement on foot to organize an apartment house association. It is greatly needed in this city. Register J. W. Lyons has gone to Georgia to attend the colored men's convention called by Rev. W. J. White. The new Register of the Treasury will be in the city some time shortly. It is claimed he will manage his own office and not leave it other people. Mr. Cyrus Fields Adams, the assistant register, will not be disturbed. There is a big fight in Maryland against Representative Pearce, by the Dawson forces. The fight is growing hotter and hotter each day. The colored republicans are dissatisfied. They have received no consideration whatever. They are tired of promises. The Juneville Court bill has not passed as yet. This is another unnecessary expense on the people. Why not allow such magistrate to try juvenile cases? It will be less expense to the people. It doesn't require over two or three hours a day. If the magistrates try these cases the time will be shortened. ATTORNEY POLLARD. Among the many active attorneys in this city, Mr. W. L. Pollard may be mentioned as one. Attorney Pollard was employed in the City Post Office for a number of years and was regarded as one of the most efficient clerks in that department. On account of the increase in his law and real estate business he had to resign his position and attend strictly to his business. By strict attention to business Mr. Pollard has made great progress in his law, and real estate business.

Against Maging General Lee's Birthday, a National Memorial Day. Washington, February 2—The members of the Grand Army of the Republic, Department of the Potomac, have joined in a letter of protest, signed by 200 of their membership, against the action taken on January 24th by the Confederate Veterans' Camp of New York city looking to making the birthday of Gen. Robert, E. Lee a national memorial day. The protest which was sent to Corporal James Tanner, Commander-in-Chief of the G. A. R., was called out by newspaper dispatches reciting that at a meeting of the Confederate Veterans on the date named, Gen. Fred D. Grant, Commander of the Deaprtment of the East, who was present as a guest, proposed making January 19—the anniversary of Gen. Lee's birth—a national memorial day—and that the motion was adopted with cheers. The letter protests against the suggestion that may "lead up to placing your comrades in the attitude of revering the memory of a man who no doubt was a good neighbor and husband, but whose public act was that of a traitor." "We protest," it says, "as Gen. Fred Grant's illustrious father would, against teaching the youth of this country that treason is a proper act for applause. It is understood that the protest is to be taken up by Grand Army men throughout the country.—New York Sun. Eighteen out of the twenty-five Presidents of the United States have beer country Lawyers.

Widow of Millionaire to Be President of Line Between Los Angeles and San Francisco. Santa Monica, Cal.—Work has been commenced on an electric railroad from Santa Monica to Hueneme. The name of the new road is the Hueneme, Malibu and Port Los Angeles, of which corporation Mrs. May Rudge is president and H. W. Lomcke general manager. The company is capitalized at $1,000,000, and will have its offices in Santa Monica. The road follows the beach, and in Ventura county will connect with the Burson road for Ventura, and thence to Santa Barbara. Rails, rolling stock and equipment have been ordered to the east. Several hundred yards of track have already been laid and a force of 240 men will soon be at work. The line will be extended from Santa Monica to Los Angeles, and at the other end, after reaching Santa Barbara, it is expected it will be ultimately pushed on to San Francisco. The section of the road now building is the first part of what is proposed to be a beach trolley line from Los Angeles to San Francisco. Mrs. Rlidge, whose name appears as the president of the company, is the widow of the late multi-millionaire Frederick H. Rlidge, who initiated the enterprise. Rlidge left an estate of $35,000,000, which fact guarantees the financial stability of the present undertaking. WILL MOVE THE TOWN. Steel Corporation Likely to Change Site of Sparta, Where Drills Have Been Working. Duluth, Minn. - It is probable that the village of Sparta, two and a half miles east of Eveleeth Mesaba Range, will have to be removed to a new location near the present site. The town, which has a population of 1,000 people, has met with the experience of Eveleeth in its earlier days. Iron ore has been found beneath the town site, and to mine it it will be necessary to remove the buildings. Diamond drilling has been in progress in the village or close to it, for the last two years, and while there is no official information as to the extent of the ore discoveries, it is the general understanding that the existence of large bodies of mineral has been proved. The exploratory work has been done by a steel corporation, which controls the mineral rights in the town site. The village was established eight or nine years ago, when the Genoa mine was opened. This property is still in commission, as are the Malta Sparta and Pettit, in the same field. The Hobart mine is a new property being opened up near Sparta. DESIRE SANE LOVEMAKING. Indiana Girls Oppose Late "Spooning" and More Than Two Nights a Week. Logansport, Ind. -For the purpose of discouraging swalns with a disposition to monopolize all their time and to encourage the habit of "breaking away" early, the Cupid Ten O'Clock club is waging a reform for sanity in lovemaking. Miss Florence Moore, the founder, is the president. She declared that two evenings a week was abundant opportunity for the prosecution of the most ardent suit, and believers that 'no two young people can have anything so important to say that it cannot fully be discussed in a three hour call.' Announcing in newspapers her intention to combat evils arising from too great familiarity before marriage, she called for enrolments in the new club, and declares it will revolutionize lovmaking in Logansport. She hopes to extend the idea throughout the state. Miss Moore is only 18 years old and is of a prominent 1 family. Baltimore & Ohio RAILROAD.

Intends to Soar Through Air from Windy City to Capitol on April 23 and Deliver Message to the President. Chicago.—"I expect to fly from Chicago to Washington on April 23 next, the eighteenth anniversary of my birth. I shall start at six o'clock in the morning and will deliver into the hands of President Roosevelt before dark of the same day a message from Mayor Edward F. Dunne." This is the programme which F. M. Mahan, a well-known inventor and mechanical engineer of this city, has mapped out for himself. That he will be able to carry it through he has not the slightest doubt. Mr. Mahan sat in his office the other day and detailed with serene confidence just how he intends to navigate the air a distance of 900 miles in 12 hours or less. "I have gone to the creatures of the air—to the birds—to learn the secret of flying," he said. "The man who does not stick close to the lessons of nature in aerial navigation is bound to fall. And what do I find when I look at the birds? First of all, and I believe the greatest requisite to successful flying, is unerring equilibrium. Add to this the necessary ascensional and propulsive power, dirigibility and precautions against accident, and the thing is solved. I am absolutely certain that the navigator in which I purpose going to Washington fulfills all the necessary conditions. "In my navigator equilibrium is obtained by the peculiar shape of the gas holder, all the gravity pull leading to a central point of the machine and directly under the propeller wings. This essential assured, I can give my whole attention to the matters of buoyancy, propulsion and direction. "Naturally, those who undertake to fly through the air wish to be fortified GAS HOLDER MAHAN'S AERIAL NAVIGATOR against accident that would send them crashing to the earth. My plan is to have a gas holder of sufficient buoyancy to overcome 95 per cent. of the earth's gravity on the machine and whatever load it carries. The other five per cent. of course, would be met by the wings of the machine in motion. In case anything should happen to the engine which operates the wings (these wings being at once litters and propellers) the 95 per cent. of resistance inherent in the gas would allow the machine to settle to the earth so gently that no injury to the aeronaut could result. In such an emergency the wings themselves would be used as parachutes, still further breaking the force of the drop. If the machinery and the gas holder should meet with accident simultaneously there would be more serious trouble, but such a contingency would be very remote." "What is the general principle of buoyancy, propulsion and dirigibility in your machine?" "Aside from the gas used it is exactly that of the wild geese I used to see flying over the prairies of Missouri when I was a boy and settling into the grain fields. For years I have made a study of the flight of birds. I have watched the gulls on Lake Michigan and the pigeons in the streets of Chicago. "Without intending slang, my navigator will be a bird. The gas holder or body of the machine will be so shaped as to offer the least resistance to the air. The wings, which will be operated by a gasoline engine from the car by means of sprocket-chains and wheels, will be provided with numerous air valves, which will open and close on the same principle as the feathers of the wild goose. For my flight to Washington I contemplate a gas holder about 70 feet long, 18 feet wide and 22 feet high, and tapering fore and aft to a diameter of 18 inches. At the front end will be a guide and at the rear a rudder—the head and tail of the bird. With the double mechanism at each end of the machine I shall be able to riso or descend at will, or go in any direction desired. In air navigation this necessary feature has never been attained by any other system, and I do not believe a practical air navigator ever can be built on any other principle. "The engine to be used in the flight from Chicago to Washington will be six-horsepower and need not weigh over 30 pounds. The rest of the machinery will weigh a similar amount. In the car will be the engine, myself and another man. "I have not built or tested a model. I never made a model of anything in my life. I planned things on the basis of known scientific principles and they worked; that's all. My flying machine will work the same way. "I have promises of the money necessary to build my navigator. It will take something like $2,500, and I am not at present able to furnish it. I hope to have the machine ready for flight on April 23." Owner of Great German Works Is the Richest and Most Powerful Woman in the World. Berlin.—Bertha Krupp has received a new title, Queen Krupp, by which she is known all round Essen. or income goes on increasing; so do her state and power. No queen of modern times ever had half the power or had the responsibility imposed upon her as this modest little German girl, "Our Lady of the Cannon," as she is affectionately known throughout the German empire. Just 20 years of age, this "little girl" practically owns the town of Essen on A. MISS BERTHA KRUPP. (This Young Woman Could Almost Decide a Great European War.) the Rhine; in the great Krupp works alone she owns more than $100,000,000 worth of property. Three hundred thousand people are dependent upon her for their living. Her income is $5,000,000 a year. She lives in a castle like some feudal princess, has hundreds of retainers and a thousand well-drilled soldiers for her guard. She has hospitals, homes for the infirm and the crippled, schools for the children of her workmen, churches and clubs, and her railroad trains and ships carry raw material and finished product to and from half a hundred mines and mills in all parts of Germany. And with it all she lives the life of a simple child, goes about on her wheel, superintending everything almost as though she were directing her playmates in the making of mud pies. But Miss Krupp has a mind of her own, inherited from her hard-headed old grandfather, who founded those wonderful works, and delightfully artistic tastes, inherited from her father, who preferred his paintings and his music, rather than the roaring furnaces and the booming of the cannon on the testing grounds. But with all her modesty and youth and simplicity, she wields a power only second to that of the great money kings of the world, for no European government could go to war without her assurance that she would supply them with cannon and steel armor and ammunition. She is the especial ward and favorite of the kaiser, who often visits her castle, and who, it is said, will have a good deal to say when it comes to the matrimonial disposition of her hand and riches.

Thomas Fortune in New York last week at the Suffrage meeting was manly and patriotic. Mr. Fortune may have his faults, but, The Bee has always found him defending the cause of the negro and upholding those principles which tend to elevate his people. Mr. Fortune may go astray sometimes, but it is generally against his will. Efforts have been made to lead him from the path of righteousness, but he generally drifts back into the fold of right and justice. The Bee congratulates its able contemporary and hopes that the day will come when his defense of the down-trodden will be appreciated. In the South as well as elsewhere, the colored domestic is being supplanted. The above excerpt from the Recorder, published in Indianapolis, Ind., shows that three hundred white German girls have been imported to Atlanta, Ga. The colored servants must get a move on there before it is too late. The white people are becoming tired of the way colored servants are acting when in their employ. There is some work for the church to do now. They should talk to the servant classes and tell them that they must do better than what they have been doing. Work is honorable no matter what kind it is, man, woman, boy or girl without money will be a detriment to society. It matters not what your vocation in life is, do it well. The country is full of educated men and women out of work. It is the person that has money and property that is respected. The wages of a domestic is small, it is true, but nevertheless he should endeavor to save something from small wages. Instead of spending so much for excursions and picnics during the season for their frolics, it is best to put that money away for a rainy day. The colored domestic must reform if he or she wishes to succeed. One of the most reliable agencies in this city, if not the most reliable, is conducted by Mr. J. T. C. Newsm. He understands the servant element better, no doubt, than any agency in the city. It is hoped that Mr. Newsm will give this class of people to understand just what is to be expected and what is coming. There is danger ahead. Take warning. THE BLUE AND THE GRAY. The North has extended the olive branch of peace to the South. The Blue and the Gray no longer draw the sword of enmity toward each other, but to-day the two, once opposing war elements, are living in peace and harmony. The thousands who are now buried at Arlington as a result of the late civil war are now fighting side by side for one common cause. Why should the negro in the South look upon the Southern man with distrust and suspicion? Why can't he also make overtures to his Southern neighbors? It is true that there is a feeling of enmity existing on the part of a few southern people against the colored man, but these few belong to the common people who are ever against themselves. If the Blue can forgive the Gray why can't the blacks? If the Blue can overlook the relentless butchering and slaughter of their comrades why can't the blacks? Must the black man continue to live on terms of enmity with his neigh- ors in the South? Should politics be allowed to be a barrier to the advancement of the Southern black man? The time has come for the black man to think and act for himself and do that which he knows an elieves to be his best interest. President McKinley permitted a Concedrate badge to be placed in the button sole of his coat. President Roosevelt allowed himself to be entertained by those who abused him. Why can't the black man speak to his Southern neighbor and tell him that he no longer holds enmity against him? Will the South extend the olive branch of peace to her oppressed colored neighbor? Will the South cease her relentless persecutions against the colored man and permit him to breathe the air of liberty and enjoy the fruits of freedom? The colored man is obedient to the laws of his country. While there may be some who are rebellious, yet nine-tenths of the colored population of the United States will continue to be loyal to the republic and obedient to the laws. The Blue and the Gray have united. Why not the black man? THE REVIVAL FEVER There should be virtue in religion. There also should be sincerity in men and women and consistency in everything that is done that has the appearance of honesty. there is a certain season in the year that is affected with a religious germ. From twelve o'clock on New year night the nations begin to pray. That is those who believe in religion. This praying and shouting continues until the excursion season begins. Between this time thousands of Bapists and other denominations are baptised because they profess religion. The religious fervor stops, when frolic begins and these Christians think no more of praying and shouting until the end of the old year and then the devil reaks loose again. The church ceases its prayer meetings and revivals; the preacher is seen with sand bills and tickets appealing to the people to go down the river or go to some public park or picnic, many of the revivals are mockeries and libel on religion. Many preachers should follow the vocation of advertising agents for picnics and excursions. Will some of these preachers explain to the public their inconsistencies? At many of these excursions you will hear shouting, crying and many other sacrilegious demonstrations that will lead some people to believe that, the pulpit is holy and righteous. There should be as much praying in summer as there is in winter. Will the pulpit, explain why it does all its shouting and praying from January 1... 12 clock M. till the picnic and excursion season begins? The pulpit not doing its duty. THE WHIPPING POST. There was lots of fun in the House of Representatives Monday when Mr. Adams of Pennsylvania was recognized to discuss his whipping-post bill. Mr. Adams received a greater thrashing than the wife-beaters would receive if the bill had become a law. Mr. Adams is a bachelor and knows nothing about the trials and tribulations of a married woman. There are some people in this city too good to be upon this earth. This class of people belong to the so-called hypocritical Christian class. They preend to have so much sympathy for humanity and when they are placed in a position to administer it, they lay it in with a vengeance. The whipping-post bill now sleeps. It will never rise again. Gabriel and his trumpet at the resurrection will not be able to revive it. The only person that will rise at the resurrection of the dead will be Mr. Adams, the author of the bill. The civilized people in this city never favored the bill. They are human and believe in humanity. Mr. Adams has been imposed upon. All the insane people are not in St. Elizabeth and just how one could have gotten next to the distinguished member from Pennsylvania The Bee is unable to state. Let it rest in peace. MR. W. T. VERNON A young lady from Kansas has arrived in this city and she called see the President last week, but he refused to see her. Her mission was S captain and push the charges against Mr. W. 1. Vernon, who has been named by the President for Register of the Treasury. The information of The Bee is that the alleged charges against Mr. Vernon are false and without foundation. The best people in his state declare that Mr. Vernon is a moral and upright young man and the alleged charges were the instigation of his political enemies The entire Kansas delegation, including the leading white and colored citizens in the State, have indored him The advice of The Bee is that the young lady who has been paid to com to the city to oppose his confirmation had better return home and engage in other work more profitable. Mr Vernon is a young man and a deserving man at that. He has mad a record of which the people in his state is proud. President Roosevelt has investigated the alleged charges against Mr. Vernon and he found them to be untrue. Any person may charge a man with having committee an offense but to prove it is something else. Mr. Vernon will be confined. SCHOOL BILLS. Some enemy to the public school system has inspired Congress to introduce several bills making radical changes in the school system. The bill transmitted by the Commissioner from the School Board is the one most acceptable. What is needed in the schools is increased pay for the overworked teachers. They are poorly paid and badly treated. The District Commissioners are aware what is needed in the school. The people have faith in them. They are not responsible for the present form of government. Congress is to blame. It Congress is not satisfied with the present form of government why doesn't it give the people the elective franchise. So far as the Commissioners are concerned they are honest. HON. MARLIN E. OLMSTED. On the tront page of The Bee will be read with interest the life and character of one of the greatest men in the House of Representatives, the Hon. Marlin E. Olmsted. He is one man in Congress who is sound on the race question and is ever watchful of the interest of his constituents. Not withstanding the great political upheaval in the State of Pennsylvania Mr. Olmsted is one man who has steered clear of all political entanglements. His course in Congress entitles him to the confidence and continued support of the constituents in his district and indeed of the entire State of Pennsylvania. DEATH OF DUNBAR Paul Lawrence Dunbar, the negro poet is dead. His poems were the essence of sweetness, merriment and pleasure. He was a genius in poetic art. Unassuming in every particular and a man the race will miss. Mr. Dunbar leaves a wite who is equally as great in literature and as refined as the Empress Josephine when she was at the French Court. The poems of Mr. Dunbar will live until after ages and history will record him as the greatest poet of his race. The rattler is as bad as the meddler. The Pen and Pencil Club should incorporate if it can. The people in Garfield should favor the Commissioners' school bill. The colored man is the easiest tooled individual in the United States. It is the man who fails that finds fault with his successful competitor. Benjamin Tillman is never happy unless he is knocking something or somebody. The Bee would advise the Southern negroes to join hands with their white neighbors. The Business League has the num- The negro has received about a that he is to receive from the adminis- tation. President Roosevelt has clos- d the door of hope and the squar deal has gone hunting. The Bee feels confident that the commissioners will appoint a colored detective. There is no reason that the colored people should not have a colored sergeant or a lieutenant. WHITE TEACHERS Therefore a certain class of men white and black, cry: "Only negro teachers for negro schools." This would be a calamity. Why? Not because competent negro teachers cannot today be found—they are to be sure fewer in number, but they can be had. But because the only remaining point of intimate sympathetic and broad-minded contact between the white and black world in the South is through the white teachers of negro schools. Destroy this and you destroy the last positive link that binds these world's together and keeps black children from thinking all white people are heartless rascals, and keeps white people from unconsciously classing negroes and brutes together. We must keep up this contact, plead for it and nurture it. Every negro school should have a mixed faculty, just as some day we hope every white school will have. But we want such faculties only on condition that they enter fully and cheerfully into the social and spiritual life of the school, otherwise the prick of their presence spoils the whole point of their being there. What finer social settlements in the world than Fisk, Atlanta and Hampton? And what is the whole object of settlement work but social contact, personal sympathy, a sharing of life between artificially separated groups. Does President Nyce think Hull House would be improved by importing a snob who would refuse to eat with Dagoes? Ask Jane Addams. The visit of Bishop Hartzell to the King and ministers of Portugal a few months since, has already borne excellent fruit. Our school teachers in Madeira have been registered and that important work goes forward. Important concessions have been secured by which our Protestant people may be buried in Roman Catholic cemeteries under better conditions. It is also probable that the Bishop will secure a private Protestant cemetery on our mission grounds at San Antonio de Serra. This last would be a great boon to our work. Another very important matter is the securing of the legal registration of the births, marriages and deaths of all our people (native or foreign) in Portuguese colonies. By this, under Portuguese law, the children of our people are legitimate and property can be inherited. Otherwise this property would go to the government. Some other matters are still in abeyance, one being the form of titles to property. Missionaries and other Protestants residing in Roman Catholic countries can appreciate the great value of these concessions. The Bishop has secured another important concession in Angola by which our schools in the West Central Africa Mission Conference are not to be interfered with, although in many points our teachers could not the examination required by a new Roman Catholic school law. Bishop Hartzell showed the Governor the diplomas and certificates of our missionaries and explained the qualifications of our native teachers. The Governor paid high compliments to our schools, saying that they were better than the Portuguese schools, and that if anybody troubled them we should let him know. Thus, step by step, full civil and religious liberty advances in Portugal and its colonies From The Western Opinion. The colored people in the body politic should have a voice in the politica' control and like all other true Americans should lose their race identity technically and subsist by and with the consent of rightful authority, which's always vested in the majority, for after all in the breast of most true Americans is a spirit of tairness. Those are the people who are responsible for the laws which grace or disgrace our statute books. That was the influence which controlled that gallant body of representative Americans Sept. 17, 1787, who by their preamble met to "form a more perfect union, to establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, to promote the general welfare and to secure the blessings for themselves and for their posterity." Colored people should get out of the lea that they are-separate and d'sinct from the American government They must not consider the insul-heaped upon them by narrow, prejudiced persons as having emanated from the government. Such things cannot come from the government proper without coming directly or indirectly in proportion from them. To consider themselves separate and apart from the government is to reconcile themselves to the separation by those who have been prominent in the abridgement of their rights. The various services in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of William Lloyd Garrison's birth occurred at time when the attention of press and people was deeply engaged in a municipal contest more hotly waged than any other in a long period of years. While the newspapers gave quite as much space to the many meetings in honor of Garrison as could have been expected under the circumstances, it was, of course, impossible to report the occasion with fullness of detail. Unquestionably there are a great many persons, both here and in other parts of the country, who desire to have a record of what was done and said on that important occasion. The whole affair was managed by committees of the Suffrage League of Boston and vicinity, and wisely the league took care to have a very complete report made, which is not published in a small volume, with several illustrations of value. Copies can be obtained on application to W. M. Trotter, editor of the Guardian, 3 Tremont Row. As will be recalled, the services extended through two days, December 10 and 11, the first day, beginning Sunday. There were on that day assemblages at Garri-on's grave in Forest Hills Cemetery, his former home, "Rockledge," in Roxbury; at the statue in Commonwealth avenue and at the former Joy Street African Baptist Church, now a Jewish synagogue, where the New England Anti-Slavery Society was formed in 1832. At all these places there were appropriate exercises. On Monday was the all-day meeting in Faneuil Hall, with a service of addresses of unusual interest by men and women of the white and colored races, many of them having been contemporaries with Garrison and co-workers or sympathizers. The most formal oration of the occasion was that given in Faneuil Hall on Monday evening, by the Rev. Reverdy C. Ransom, a fit and eloquent testimonial of the gratitude of his race to Garrison and an earnest appeal to the negro to go forward to secure by unrelaxing endeavor all rights of citizenship in the republic. In reading this and other addresses, especially those of the Hon Albert E. Pillsbury and the Dev. Dr. A. A. Berle, one is impressed by the serious note of the wrong that has been done in some sections of the land to the negro race by the partial and degrading denial of legal justice and the right of suffrage. It was recognized that, in the coming agitation to acquire a just status in the industrial, social and political opportunities of the nation, the negroes must make the contest under their own leadership largely. They can no longer depend on the sure support of the party which Sumner inspired and Lincoln led. It seems to have forgotten them. They must depend on appeals to the sense of right and equity in the hearts of the American people. It is contrary to the genius of American institutions that 10,000,000 citizens shall be subjects and serfs of the rest, without power to serve and protect themselves by the means peculiar to free citizens in a free state If there are any persons who imagine that the negro problem can ever be permanently settled in this country until it is settled on the basis of the equal rights of all citizens without the proscription of any because of race or color, such persons are deluding themselves. The more the wrong is insisted upon and enforced, the more costly and destructive will be the eruption that must come sooner or later. The permanent degradation of the negroes in the United States is as impossible as the permanent subjugation of the masses of the Russian empire. It is contrary to the eternal law of human progress. What we have lately seen in Russia is what blind., unyielding oppression has prepared and provoked. Priests and politicians may obstruct progress for a time, but not forever. This nation will be a democracy in fact, or it will be revolutionized into an empire. It cannot endure as a mongrel democracy, any more than it could endure half-slave and half-free. the attempt to baffle the aspirations of men who have tasted lib- city, who have acquired the power to read the Bible and the Declaration of Independence and to study the story of struggle from absolute freedom, can do nothing else.

The committee submitted a very carefully considered report, several measures which have been introduced in Congress bearing on the subject and was of the opinion that while many of the bills contained some features, which if enacted into law apart from the many objectionable features, might work material benefit to the school system. The only bill, in the opinion of the committee, which permits a continuation of our present school system, and it believes to be the only proper course at this time is the bill H. R. 8472; that this bill is based upon actual experience as applied to the needs of the District of Columbia with slight modifications and meets the approval of the commissioners and the board of education, who are better prepared to know our local needs.

A RARE MUSICAL TREAT. IN the form of a piano and song recital was given at Lincoln Temple. corner 11th and R streets, N. W., on last Monday night, with Prof. R. Augustus Lawson and wife, of Hartford, Conn., as the stars. It is doubtful whether there has ever been given in this city such a rich musical feast. Certainly there has been nothing to excel it. Madam Lawson was not only "in good voice," but made a positive hit with her audience. She had not progressed halfway of her first number before it was found that her voice not only possessed great range and power; but was intrancingly melodious. As to Mr Lawson's piano playing, it was simplyouisite! A prominent musical critic declares that he is in a class by himself. The affair was given under the auspices of the "Fisk Club," composed of the graduates and former students of Fisk University, now resident in this city, of which Mr. Lewis H. Mill is president and Mr. T. J. Calloway, secretary. THE SECOND BAPTIST LYCEUM. Memorial exercises in honor of the 97th birthday of our martyred President, Abraham Lincoln, were fittingly held at the Lyceum of the Second Baptist Church, last Sunday afternoon. In the absence of President Green, the corresponding secretary, Mr. John T. C. Newsom, presided. The regular speaker for the evening not having appeared, Mr. Newsom suggested "Lincoln, the Enancipator." as the topic for the evening. Short, laudatory speeches, reminiscent and historical, were made by the following gentlemen: Lieut. R. E. S Toomey, Mr. A. H. Matthews, Maj Chas. R. Douglass, Ex-Senator John P. Green, Prof. Jesse Lawson, Ex-Congressman Geo. H.White, Mr. Fossett, and Mr. McIntosh. There was a difference of opinion as to the prime motive which prompted president Lincoln in issuing his celebrated emancipation proclamation, which brought freedom to the slaves. Major Douglass thought the proclamation merely a war measure or exigency, which did not indicate Mr. Lincoln's innate desire, or original purpose, to free the slaves. Mr. Fossett agreed with him. The preponderance of opinion was, however, that Mr. Lincoln was not only an abolitionist at heart; but that he started out with the ultimate purpose and intention to free the slaves. Mr. Green, Mr. White, Mr. McIntosh, et al., were very positive in this latter view. President Green made an announcement to the Lyceum of the sudden death of Mr. W. J. Anderson (white) of the Post Office Department, who recently addressed the society. On motion of Lieut. Toomey the corresponding secretary was directed to prepare a letter of condolence to Mrs W. J. Anderson, expressing the sense and feeling of the Lyceum over the demise of her husband. An interesting program will be arranged for next Sunday.

The servant problem is most perplexing nowadays, and many solutions are being tried. The charge is made that the average colored servant is "unreliable, incompetent and impudent." The general charge is not to be accepted solely upon specific instances. The truth is, perhaps the problem has never been considered from the standpoint of humanity: There is room for improvement and sympathy perhaps in both employer and employee. The servant must earn to dignify her work by giving honest service and proving the falseness of such charges. THE VALUE OF NATURE STUDY. Neither the present conditions nor the possibility of their future development warrant the conclusion that agricultural instruction in any considerable amount will ever find a place in the curricula of graded or rural schools. But nature study, which is one of the most interesting subjects to a child and also a medium through which is instilled in him a love for nature and rural life that cannot be acquired from any other source, should be taught from the kindergarten study can perform experiments ten through the grammar grades. Any wide-awake and up-to-date teacher of with improved apparatus to show germination of seeds under different conditions, the principle of osmosis, the absorption of liquid nutriment through the root hairs, transpiration of moisture through the cambium, the respiration through the leaves, and the importance of carbon as a plant food. Many other simple experiments in physics, chemistry, and the other natural sciences which form the basis of agriculture can be performed that will at once command the pupil's attention and stimulate his desire to learn more of his environment. The school garden not only gives an opportunity for correlation, but also an opportunity for bringing together a great number of plants that may be arranged in families, genera and species. It affords by far the best means for the cultivation of the powers of observation. Pupils find excellent forms for drawing lessons, colors to imitate, habits to describe, and motives in use in decorative design They have something to care for something that quickly responds to effort, and as interest begets interest, they make for themselves resources for happiness that should be the heritage of all children.—Southern Workman. CHANGES IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS One of several bills introduced in congress this session for the improvement of the public schools in the District of Columbia providing for a scale of increase in the pay of teachers and employers and known as House bill 1641, received an unfavorable report at the hands of the Commissioners Monlay. The board has presented its own bill in that subject to Congress, and it provides for everything and every change the commissioners deem necessary and advisable. However, all the bills are in a way similar and differ in minor detail only. The bill reported upon by the commissioners Monday called forth the following report to Chairman Babcock, of the District Committee of the House: "The fundamental objection to it is that it proposes to take the public school system away from the government of the District of Columbia by vesting its control in a board of education (to consist of nine members instead of seven, at present, contrary to the course now being generally followed by intelligent municipalities of reducing instead of increasing the membership of the boards of education), appointed by the President of the United States instead of as present by the Commissioners of the District of Columbia, which board is authorized to submit the estimates for proposed expenditures for the public schools direct to the Secretary of the treasury for transmission to Congress without supervision by the Commissioners. "The detailed objections to the proposed changes in the organization of the schools presented in the report of the Commissioners on H. K. 34/4 are brought to the attention of your committee. Since preparing that report the Commissioners have been committed by repeated expressions of the citizens, in charity and in their associations, in their opinion that there is no desire for such legislation on the part of citizens, especially the parents of the pupils in the public schools, but on the contrary, that the public opinion of the District is opposed to any radical changes in the public school system, which has proved its efficiency by its good results. The oil which the citizens generally desire to see enacted is that prepared by the Commissioners (H. K. 64/2), making proper provision for the salaries and the promotions of officers and teachers in the public schools. The Commissioners also reported unavailability on House bill 12301, Monday, providing for the control, administration and support of the public schools. GALBRAITH There is something remarkable about the people of Galbraith A. M. E. Z. Church; it is one of the younger churches of the Zion connection of the District of Columbia and today it is the most prosperous Zion church in the District. There have been times in the history of the Galbraith Church when there was no light in sight and everything seemed dark before them, congregation being poor and was only maintained by a few loyal followers of Christ who kept up the existence of the church. There is one thing to be noticed in surth a short time, and that is the wonderful success of Dr. S. L. Corrothers When he came to, Washington, D. C. about five years ago, he found Galbraith A. M. E. Z. Church in a very bad condition, financially He also found a few loyal members, who were willing to stand by him, share their earnings, and would give their time for the sake of the church. With that material, however small, Dr. Corrothers took them and with the assurance and the strength in which he has, today he has proved himself to be the master of the situation surrounding Galbraith Church might be said from every part of the globe; and there is one thing that the people admire from every place and that is a man who has a mind of his own. Dr. Corrothers is the man who meets the requirements and that is why the people come far and near to listen to him, and different ones are constantly visiting the church and when they hear once they will be sure to come again. Dr. S. L. Corrothers has proved his power in this revival since the New Year's Eve night, over 141 persons having gone out proclaiming the name of Christ. It was said by one of the old sisters of the church: "This is like old times, having so many converts in one revival. BEE ITEMS ON THE WING.

Hitt has de- sided to retire from congress. He will not be a candidate for reelection from the Thirteenth Illinois district, and the delegation from that state will therefore lose its most distinguished member, because not even excepting Uncle Joe Cannon, Mr. Hitt has re- lected congressional glory upon the state of Illinois ever since he was elected to the Forty-eighth congress Mr. Hitt retires from public life full of honors, and with the assurance that he could remain in congress as long as he desires. The condition of his health has been such for some time, however, that Mr. Hitt has voluntarily announced that this will be his last term. Mr. Hitt has not been well for a long time, and there were periods when he was unable to be at the house, but in spite of increasing physical ailments he has attended to every duty and the work of the committee on foreign affairs of the house of representatives, of which he has been chairman for ten years, has never lagged. Congressman Hitt, with the expiration of his present term, has been a member of congress continuously since 1882. When elected to fill the vacancy caused by the death of R. M. A. Hawk, he already had been first secretary of the legislation at Paris and assistant secretary of state under James G. Blaine. In Congress his achievements have been in connection with the foreign relations committee, of which he has been a member since the Forty-eighth congress. In the Cutting case he saved congress from a mistaken menace ROBERT R. HITT (Noted Illinois Congressman Who Will Quit Public Life.) against Mexico, and has rendered brilliant service in numerous diplomatic crises. His first work was as a newspaper reporter in Chicago; then he became official reporter of the state of Illinois. He was born in Urbana, O., in 1835, but was reared in Mount Morrison, Ill. Mr. Hitt's retirement from public life will make a bigger hole in the Illinois delegation than most people might imagine, and it will upset the mechanism of the house of representatives to no small degree. Although a native of Ohio, Mr. Hitt has lived in Illinois since he was three years old, and his career has been one of extraordinary opportunities. Almost more than any other man now living he had a continuous connection with American diplomacy. He was the chosen confidant first of Lincoln and then of Grant, and as one of the original stenographers of the country he was called upon to take down some of the most important congressional and national investigations of the stormy reconstruction and Kukluk times. It was rumored that the cause of Mr. Hitt's retirement was to accept a diplomatic position, but he will not accept a foreign post for the same reason that he has decided to retire from congress—his health will not permit him to assume such responsibilities. At one time Mr. Hitt was seriously considered by President Roosevelt as successor to John Hay as secretary of state, but Mr. Hay's health improved and the chairman of the foreign relations committee of the house himself became a sick man. That was over two years ago, and since then Mr. Hitt has been in poor health. There was some effort made at the time Henry W. White was appointed ambassador to Rome to secure the post for Mr. Hitt, as it was thought that a change to the mild climate of Italy would benefit his health. But it was thought best that Mr. Hitt should not attempt such an important task until his health had improved Should Mr. Hitt's health improve he will almost certainly be given an important diplomatic position, because it is generally recognized here that he has earned the reward by long and brilliant service in the house as well as in the state department Spread of the Plague. The bubonic plague is spreading in Russia. The area of infection covers from 200 to 300 miles, and owing to the lack of doctors, it is impossible to isolate the sick. At Kobe, Japan, the plague is increasing to such an extent that far eastern ports are declaring quarantine against the port, and the embarkation there of Russian prisoners for transportation to Russia has been stopped.

HONORS FORMER GOVERNOR Iowa Legislature Put Business Aside and Tenders Reception to William Larrabee. Des Moines.-Iowa the other day paid to former Gov. William Larrabee the greatest honor within the gift of the state. It was Mr. Larrabee's seventy-fourth birthday, and to do him honor the two branches of the legislature put aside business and met in A. B. WILLIAM LARHABEE. (Former Iowa Governor Honored by Legislature of That State.) joint session' to tender him a reception. Gov. Cummins added his presence to the gathering, and Frank D. Jackson, an ex-governor of the state, also attended to do honor to' the veteran executive. Leslie M. Shaw and Horace Boles, both, former governors, sent telegrams of regret. William Larrabee has been distinguished in Iowa politics since 1868. In that year he entered the state senate, and for 16 years was chairman of the committee on ways and means. In 1866 he was elected to the governorship, and retired upon the close of his term. He has been prominent as a farmer and banker, and was state commissioner to the Louisiana Purchase exposition. Mr. Larrabee was born in Ledyard, Conn., January 20, 1832. He received a common school education, and moved to Iowa in 1853. In 1892 he published a book on "The Railroad Question." TREE FROM ST. HELENA. Stately Willow from Grave of Napoleon Now Growing Near Bunker Hill in Boston. Boston.—On the slopes of Breed's hill, in what is known throughout the United States as the Bunker Hill district, where the battle for American independence was fought with the British on June 17, 1775, stands a stately and gigantic willow tree grown from a slip cut from the willow at Napoleon's grave in the island of St. Helena. The tree is situated in the yard in the rear of 20 Monument square, Charlestown, which estate was purchased last June by Martin J. Roche from Mrs. Eva C. Hunt, widow and administratrix of the deceased Dr. Israel OFFSPRING OF TREE AT GRAVE OF NAPOLEON AT ST HELENA. OFFSPRING OF TREE AT GRAVE OF NAPOLEON AT ST HELENA. T. Hunt. When Mr. Roche purchased the place a memorandum book containing valuable information about the property was presented to him. In it was a brief report of the planting of the willow slip by Israel Cook, who conducted an iron foundry on Water street, Charlestown, and who owned the property at 20 Monument square, which was purchased from him by Dr Hunt. The report says that the slip from the grave of Napoleon at St. Helena was placed in a bottle, where it sprouted, was brought across the Atlantic in 1868, the year of the great September gale, and planted in the yard in the rear of 20 Monument square. Studying the Sun It is regarded as a remarkable fact that last September two international bodies of scientific men, concerned with the study of the sun, met in Europe and formulated plans for future work. One was the solar commission, established in 1903 to deal with the problem of the sun's influence upon meteorological changes on the earth, which met at Innsbruck; the other was the solar union, established in 1904, with the object of promoting more exact knowledge of the state of things on the sun itself, which held its meeting at Oxford. Both associations include in their membership many of the leading astronomers and meteorologists of the world, and their aim is to unify and systematize the work of great observatories and institutions of research scattered through many lands, in order to facilitate and accelerate the solution of the important problems to which they are devoted.

OF DEN- MARK LIKED BY PEOPLE. Is Well-Known for His Culture and Philanthropy and Has Introduced Several Reforms in the Army of His Country. Copenhagen.—Through the death of King Christian IX. of Denmark, Crown Prince Frederick has succeeded to the throne occupied by his father for 42 years. On the day following his father's death he was proclaimed King Frederick VIII. The new Danish ruler is not a young man by any means, being in his sixtythird year, but he bears the weight of his years lightly and is almost as popular with the people of Denmark as was his father. By the wish of his parents he was brought up with great simplicity and his earlier education was obtained at the town grammar school, for not until he was ten years old was the difficult question of his father's succession to the Danish throne finally settled. It was Frederick's curious fate to see his younger brother and his own son become reigning monarchs of Greece and Norway respectively, while he himself was still an heir apparent. The new king has been highly popular since his earliest youth. His bear- [Name] KING FREDERICK VIII. (Former Crown Prince Who Has Succeeded to Danish Throne.) ing is stately and his manner quiet. He is noted for his culture and possesses many foreign distinctions. While seldom openly identifying himself with political questions, he has taken an active part in all public movements and is a constant attendant at all important debates in the riksdag. He is chancellor of the Copenhagen university and head of the Free Masons of Denmark and is well known as a promoter of all philanthropic objects. His interest in the army, of which he is inspector general, is keen and he has introduced several reforms which have improved the lot of private soldiers, as the result of which he is extremely popular with the troops. Little can be predicted as to the new king's public policy, and therefore it is not known whether or not he will simply follow in the footsteps of his father. The new queen, Louisa, is reputed to be the tallest and richest princess in Europe. She is a handsome woman of the blonde type, and reflects the beauty of her famous grandmother, Desiree Clary, the tradesman's daughter who captivated Bonaparte and married Marshal Bernadotte, who subsequently became king of Sweden and Norway. The new queen inherited large fortunes both from Prince Frederick of the Netherlands and Prince Charles of Sweden. Nevertheless, she and her husband have adhered to the simpliciarly characteristic of the Danish court, showing the nation the happy spectacle of a united couple living on [Name] QUEEN DOLLY. (Wife of King Frederick Who Is Reputed to Be Very Wealthy.) terms of the closest affection and sympathy with their eight children. Though they have paid visits to foreign countries, they are essentially a home-keeping couple when compared with most other royal personages. Frederick is credited with having a less determined character than his father, while it is whispered that the new queen possesses the stronger character of the two, and possibly this latter fact will have considerable influence on the policy of the new king. Both are deeply imbued with religious convictions. Also a Reformer. "Dey're sendin' a lot o' gratters to fall," remarked Meandering Mike. jail," remarked Meandering Mike. "I'm glad of it," answered Plodding Pete.

Minneapolis, Minn.—After two years if earnest labor, Edward Fournier, a cene painter, has produced an amphibious automobile boat, especially designed for the use of sportsmen, and has had the unique craft patented. The inconvenience, danger and expense of the transportation of boats to the good hunting and fishing sections of the country, which are usually remote, suggested to Fournier the niche such a vehicle would fill and he declared the THE AUTOMOBILE BOAT. craft he has produced will be serviceable and, in the long run, economical. Fournier's craft is a boat on automobile wheels that can be operated either on land or in water by any power used in either automobiles or boats. The boat is set on the auto trucks and speed equal to that of the average automobile can be made on land. Run to the water's edge, the boat is shoved off the trucks and the boat easily detached from the running gear and attached to the propeller, making a high class autoboat, with fast speed possibilities. "I have been assured by reliable automobile makers that my plan is feasible," declared Mr. Fournier. "On land my automobile, though it differs in appearance from the conventional, will make a good speed and ride as well as the ordinary autos. Run out into the water, five minutes' easy work will convert it into a serviceable and handsome autoboat, capable of making fast time. "It can be made with or without a canopy and with the latter may be anchored, thoroughly inclosed and converted into a houseboat in which its passengers may sleep comfortably, winter or summer. It will be excellently adapted for both pleasure, hunting and fishing and in addition to avoiding the expense, the danger of breakage and inconvenience occasioned in skipping boats will provide conveniences that no other boat possesses. I have received some fine offers for the rights, but have not determined what I will do with the invention." The patent covering the novel craft permits the use of any motive power. Fournier says it can be equipped with steam, gasoline or electricity with the same success with which these are used in automobiles or boats. It can be manufactured as easily as either of these craft, and in the market should cost no more than the average autoboit or automobile. OLD CUSTOMS HOUSE. Tablet Now Marks Ancient Building at Monterey, Cal., That Has Served Three Nations. Monterey, Cal.—A tablet has been placed on the old Hispano-Mexican customs house, at Monterey, by the Landmarks club. This is the oldest building in California, except the missions. It is a very interesting relic, as OLD CUSTOMHOUSE AT MONTEREY, CAL. It has served as the recipient of customs for three nations. The customs house was built soon after the foundation of the pueblo in 1722. A galleon came once a year from Spain with supplies for the colonists, who, it seems, could not gain a support in this fertile land of varied resources. The gallcons from the Philippines, laden with gold plundered from the natives, touched at Monterey, and pirates laid off the California coast, waiting for the treasure ships. In 1818, the bold Bouchard landed at Monterey, plundered the mission, burned the town, took all the treasure in the customs house and sailed away. The old customs house was the only building left standing except the mission. When Mexico gained its independence in 1821, the broad banner of Spain was lowered, and that of Mexico was hoisted, to be in turn displaced by the "star-spangled banner" in 1846. The Natalie, which was the brig in which Napoleon escaped from Elba, was wrecked off Monterey. Some of the timbers are still to be seen on the beach. At the customs house was also landed the printing press upon which was printed the first newspaper in California. Presbyterian Church Reunion Presbyterian Church Reunion. After a division of 95 years, general committees of the Northern Presbyterian church and the Cumberland Presbyterian church, in joint session at St. Louis, December 28, reached an agreement which, if ratified by the general assemblies of those bodies next May, will result in the organic union of the two. Under the agreement, the Cumberland Presbyterians adopt constitutionally the confession of faith of the Northern, or Presbyterian church in the United States of America, as revised in 1903. Arrangements were made for the meeting of a united assembly in 1907, and for a union of missionary and educational organizations of the two churches.

His plan is to have four wheels on the car, placed one ahead of the other, running on a third rail between the two rails now used. The cars are to be pointed at the ends, to reduce the resistance of the air and to lessen the danger in case of a collision. "The motor cycle train" is to be kept upright by the wheels or rollers running on the two outside tracks. NIAN SAYS HE IS DEMUED WITH STRANGE POWER. MERCIAL Traveler Declares That First Success Has Attended His Charitable Endeavors—Said to Be Demented. Paris—Albert Saltman, of Paris, is acting as an extraordinary reputation for the poor of the capital and prison for during all diseases and all kinds by the touch of his hands. This man, who positively resists to accept pay for his cares, is only capturing salesman in wives and appears well authenticated that he and several cases of what seemed acute hathness and many of paralysis and of injuries received by from great heights. The plausible poets Hobbes, a town in Brittany, vow several sufferers there. I contend myself by invoking the power upon those who come to me in faith that the Creator cares for mature "old Saltaman. "One two years ago a man fell from a window. As he lay bleeding before voice cried within me: "Go to this living man and heal him." Then I power was given me to be the sake of that healing that belongs to the Creator. I child hands on the fallen man. A look like that if an electric current need to flash through all my being, pressed, heard, the man arose, met me presumably and walked away. I saw him again, but since then, as how, the same power has continued to go out from me and the poor God." Autumn spoke modestly, with seemlessly, not boastfully. He concludes, "Every day 200 letters from our France bring me requests, that I visit the ill and the insult. I file their letters and when my travels take me near to the cars I heal them. I make rich parsons according to their means to local charities, for I will not sell giving favor." Physician of La Salpetriere hospital is the startling position that Baltzar is insane, although his cures are gentle. Possibly the doctor's theory that Saltman communicates to the positions and ignorant his faith in power, which really does not exist, their faith, acting on and thruugh nervous systems, cures nervous diseases, including diseases apparently rare but really nervous. Still, to care so works good," was re-titled. "No, it does much harm," the doctor stated. "The growing confidence in dietary aggravates many maladies, who might have been cured by oral and material means within the environment of modern science suffer the victims of their stupid beliefs." LOCK PRESAGES A DEATH inpiece Strikes One, and Three Days Later Veteran Manufacturer Passes Away. Springfield, O.—A strange phenomenon at the home of the late Alphonse Perrell a veteran manufacturer and plier-tien, is causing much discus- sion. Mr. Perrell was sick several months. His bed chamber was an old clock, he had not been wound up for at two years before his death. It was as a relic, as it was purchased by Perrell shortly after he went to keepeping him 40 years ago. the third night before he died the clock struck once at midnight. Mr. will had suffered a relapse, and the others at his bedside thought that dead was near. The clock striking freed them. The next night and the driving one the clock struck once at midnight. Those on watch investigated and be convinced that no one had wound as the clock could not be found. Mr. will died Tuesday afternoon. That at the clock struck again at 12 clock. The next night Alphonso Ferrell a phantom at the deceased, and Mrs. super Laude at another relative, sat. The clock one at 12 o'clock other does the clock strike, the family at a loss to know why the clock experienced striking just days before Mr. Ferrell's death. ALESS FOR FORTY YEARS.

New Albany, Ind.—Peter Ruby, a patient at St. Edward's City hospital, is practically without a stomach, and, notwithstanding this peculiar condition, he is able to move around with surprising activity, and has gained in the last few weeks 15 pounds in weight, with a noticeable improvement in health daily. More than two months ago Ruby, who had been employed for many years in the rolling mill at New Albany, went to the hospital for treatment. Upon examination it was found that he was suffering from a malignant ulcer of the stomach, which caused so great a contraction of that organ that no food could pass either in or out. It has since become so shriveled that he is in the same condition as if the stomach had been removed. For several weeks he could take no nourishment, and he came nearly starving to death before he would consent to an operation. Several weeks ago the operation was performed and consisted of an opening in the abdominal. wall and through the intestine below the stomach, into which a tube was inserted, and by this means the man receives nourishment. Ruby carries a funnel with him and, after masticating solid food, drops it into the funnel and washes it through the tube by means of warm milk, soup or water. The patient seems rather proud than otherwise of his affliction, and for several days has been calling on his friends in various parts of New Albany. He is perfectly willing at all times to exhibit the apparatus by which he takes nourishment and to relate all the details of the case. At the hospital, where he is still cared for, it is said that he has the appetite of a harvest hand, and is not at all choice in regard to his diet, being able to partake of anything offered him. STOPS CAR; REWARD IS $20 Passenger. Chicago.—Edward E. Russell, an Elston avenue troller car motorman, is slowly recovering from an amazing experience which manaced him with heart disease. It happened shortly before midnight recently, when he was speeding his car in the direction of the city, it being his last trip from Mayfair. An icy wind swept Elston avenue, chilling the motorman to the bone, despite his thick layers of clothing. At Irving Park boulevard a man and woman wildly signaled the onrushing car. It was brought to a standstill as promptly as the benumbed fingers could work the ice-fettered brake. On boarding the car the woman hurried to a seat, while the man fished out a roll of bills from an inside pocket, stripped off a new $20 note and strode to the front platform. "Here's $20 for you, my friend," said the new passenger, shoving the bank note into the astonished motorman's hand. "It is a little token of my deep appreciation for your having stopped the car to take my wife and me aboard. I had given up all hope that any car would stop for us," explained the stranger. The motorman retained sufficient presence of mind to pocket the $20, but a blow with a feather would have floored him. The ready-money passenger was George Flint, a wealthy chemical manufacturer, of Avondale. He and his wife had for half an hour stood on the wind-swept corner vainly striving to stop passing trolley cars. Eight motormen had ignored them. Northampton, Mass.—In his annual report President Seclye, of Smith college, after noting the high standard of health and the fact that the largest number of invalids is in the entering class, says: "To determine how marriages and births are affected by a collegiate education, there should be an extensive comparison between collegiate and noncollegiate women in corresponding social and physical conditions. "Due credit should also be given to the abundant testimony that a majority of women improve physically, as well as mentally, during their college course. "Their graduates are better qualified for wifehood and motherhood. They are as ready to wed as other women when the right man wooes them, but many causes now lead men in active life to postpone marriage, and the longer it is postponed the less inclined they are to assume its responsibilities. "Women cannot take the initiative and seek a husband. Daughters in this country at least are no longer contracted in marriage by their parents. "Marrriages of convenience are not made as often by college graduates, for they do not feel obliged to marry in order to escape poverty or dependence. There are fewer divorces among them." King of Denmark. It is stated that King Christian of Denmark left only a small fortune, amounting probably to less than $250,000. He was always charitable, and most of his revenue, aside from that absolutely needed for household expense, was gifts to the poor and to deserving institutions. RECORD OF IMPORTS INTO THE UNITED STATES. Value in 1905 Reached $1,179,000, 000 Against $635,000,000 in 1898—Raw Silk Increased by 100 Per Cent. Washington.—The imports into the United States have practically doubled in value in the last seven years, according to a bulletin issued by the bureau of statistics of the department of commerce and labor. In the calendar year 1905 the imports aggregated in value $1,179,000,000, as against $635,000,000 in the calendar year 1898. The figures of 1898 included merchandise from Porto Rico and Hawaii, now customs districts of the United States. If, the bulletin says, the value of the merchandise brought from these islands in 1905 be added to the bureau's statement of imports from foreign countries, the grand total for 1905 would be $1,234,000,000. The increase in importations is distributed through all classes and practically all articles of merchandise. Food stuffs increased $84,000,000, a gain of 45 per cent; manufactures increased $81,000,000, or 77 per cent; luxuries increased $76,000,000, or 90 per cent. and manufacturers' materials increased $303,000,000, or 117 per cent. These figures do not include merchandise from Hawall and Porto Rico during 1905. If these were included, the increase in food stuffs would be about $134,000,000, or 70 per cent. Raw silk importations increase about 100 per cent; tin imports an increase of 200 per cent; hides and skins, 80 per cent; crude rubber, 90 per cent, copper from $4,000,000, to $28,000,000, sugar from $78,000,000 to $151,000,000 (including $50,000,000 brought from Porto Rico and Hawaii), cotton manufactures of all kinds from $29,000,000 to $54,000,000, silk manufactures $25,000,000 to $32,500,000, cigars and cigarettes from $1,750,000 to about $4,000,000. In addition to this $2,668,000 worth of cigars and cigarettes were received from Porto Rico last year. Wines, spirits and malt liquors increased from $10,000,000 to about $18,000,000, and diamonds from $8,333,000 to $30,600,000. $3,000,000,000 IS RECORD Government Announces That American Commerce Gained Over $100,-000,000 in the Year 1905. Washington.—The foreign commerce of the United States approaches surprisingly near to the $3,000,000,000 point in the calendar year 1905, according to a report issued by the bureau of statistics, department of commerce, and labor. "The total imports and exports of merchandise," the report says, "is $2,806,000,000, against $2,307,000,000 in 1900, an average increase of $100,-000,000 a year. "If the $2,806,000,000 of foreign commerce in 1906 were added to the figures of trade with Hawall and Porto Rico, formerly foreign territory, and included in our statements of foreign trade prior to 1901, the total would approximate $2,900,000,000 or about $600,000,000 more than five years ago, and $1,200,000,000 more than ten years ago. "Another notable characteristic of the year's foreign trade is the fact that the exports in December were practically $200,000,000, the largest month's exportation in any year prior to that time being that of December, 1904, when the total was $174,195,566. "The import record for 1905 is also in excess of that of any preceding year, being for the 12 months ended with December $1,179,358,846, against $1,035,909,190 in 1904. The growth of imports, while not rapid, has been steady, and continues to be so, keeping pace, approximately, with the growth of population. "The commerce with the noncontiguous territory of the United States also makes a new high record for 1905. It will amount to about $130,000,000 in value, against a little less than $100,000,000 last year." FIREMAN GRABS AN EAGLE While Engine Is Speeding Along at Rapid Rate Bird Is Snatched Into Captivity. Denver, Col.-The fireman and engineer who took the Rocky Mountain limited out of hero the other morning captured an immense American eagle as it was flying in the air. The experience is probably unique in railroading. The unfortunate king of birds will spend the remainder of his days in satiating the wondering gaze of the crowds at City park. The eagle measures seven feet and four inches from tip to tip. When nearing Limon the engine crew noticed the bird flying low and straight ahead of the train. The train was then traveling at from 60 to 65 miles an hour, and if it did not change its course it was evident that the eagle would be overtaken. The bird was on the left side and as the engine flashed by the fireman reached out and grabbed the bird by a leg and pulled it into the cab. With the aid of the engineer the big fellow was downed and tied, but it took quite a fight. Hypnotism in Paying Bills. Dr. Quackenbos, of New York, saves his patients by hypnotic suggestion. Doubtless he is able to make them pay his bills by the same process. Cause of an Omaha Nonogmarian Is a Puzzle to the Dentists of That City. Omaha, Neb.-To be cutting a third set of teeth while the second set is fairly well preserved is a record of which but few men can boast. This is what is happening to J. H. Fox, who boards at the old people's home. "Grandpa" Fox is 94 years of age. All his life he has been hale and hearty and blessed with exceptionally good teeth, double though they were. "I have never had no dentist workin' in my mouth," he says. "I mind havin' the toothache pretty bad many years ago. A man I knew gave me some stuff to put in 'em and finally the ache quit and they never bothered me again." There are five new teeth and they are all incisors. They are coming in between the old double anterior and peer forth like rice grains among the older teeth. The cutting of them does not seem to affect him in any way. For two years they have been coming, one at a time. "Well, I guess I'm cutting another tooth. I expect to have a full set of nice home grown teeth soon," he says to the other, boarders cheerfully when they guy him and call him the "baby" of the establishment on account of his new teeth. "You don't catch me fooling around with any of these boughten teeth like the rest of you wear." Every indication would tend to show that "Grandpa" Fox will continue to grow new teeth as fast as the old ones drop out. They push through the gums wherever they can find a place to grow. Dentists who have seen Mr. Fox and his third set of teeth declare it a rare case. The double teeth they explain by saying that the anteriors are frequently brittle and easily worn away. In this case nature keeps throwing out accumulations and incrustations, which build up the teeth into the semblance of double teeth. Mr. Fox, however, insists that every one of his teeth came in double. HOLDS COUNTRY'S RECORD Monomonie, Wiz., Claims Banner as an Exponent of Anti-Bace Washington, D.C.-Menomonle, Wis., has more children in proportion to its population attending its public schools than any other city in the United States, according to State Senator James H. Stout, who told the president of the wonderful record of his home, while calling upon him in company with Senator Spooner. Senator Stout is a multi-millionaire who believes in giving his money to help primary education institutions instead of colleges and universities. He has established 500 circulating libraries throughout Wisconsin in connection with public schools, and has also assisted them in other ways. He said that out of a population of 5,800 the town of Menomonle had 2,200 children attending the public schools, a record he claimed was not equaled anywhere else in the country. "Much money," he said, "is being left in endowments to the great educational institutions of the country, but the students of these schools are, as a rule, able to pay their own way, and what they pay ought to maintain them. The question of educating the masses is by far more important, to my mind, as the bone and shaw of the nation comes from those classes who are not able to go to college. They crave the advantage of education and should be encouraged and men with money could find no better way of spending it than in encouraging these aspirations." PATTED HAAKON ON BACK. The New Norwegian King Finds His Subjects Very Democratic in Treatment of Him. Christiania.—The bluff treatment that King Haakon has received at the hands of Bjornson, the famous Norwegian dramatist, illustrates the strong democratic spirit in which royalty is viewed in the kingdom of Norway. At the end of a play by Bjornson in the National theater, at which the king was present, the king invited the venerable dramatist into the royal box and received him with the remark: "It is a very beautiful play, my dear Bjornson." Bjornson walked up to the king and patting him paternally on the shoulder, sald: "Do not say 'majet' (very), your majesty, but 'megel.' That is how we pronounce it here. A man in your position must take care of these little things, you know." King Haakon replied with as good grace as he could that he would be careful to follow his friend's advice. "That is right," replied Bjornson, "if you take care to remember what I say you will find you will have good cause to thank me." Quits Pulpit to Run Quarry To serve a pastorate and operate a slate quarry at the same time have proved too arduous a task for Rev. D. E. Richards, pastor of the Baptist church at Slatington, Pa., and he has resigned, to devote his attention solely to his quarry. Dr. Richards' congregation is astounded by his decision. Only recently some of his wealthy parishioners paid the expenses of the pastor for a tour through Wales. Needs More "Cons." The population of New York city is 4,014,504, and there are 7,854 policemen and 10,537 saloons. The population of Chicago is 1,990,750 and there are 2,875 policemen and 7,017 saloons. Files of Useless Articles Found When Executor of Estate of Woman with Mania Steps Into Brooklyn "House of Mystery." New York—Search of the "house of mystery," 178 State street, Brooklyn, by J. H. Squibb, executor of the estate of Mrs. Mary Cook King, who died in a Flushing sanitarium a few weeks ago, showed where the greater part of the $500,000 estate left by her husband had gone. More than $250,000 worth of goods, bought in four years of shopping in New York, was plied unused in rooms, closets and Halls, nearly filling the large four-story brown-stone mansion, and lay for 19 years unheeded. Laces were heaped upon callco, furs on cotton, the daintiest of linens and silks were stored with common household garments, $500 gowns from the most fashionable of dressmakers were laid on cheap "Mother Hubbards," solid, silver and cheap plate and the most fragile of china sets were mixed with ironware, crystal and cut glass with common glassware—all was cast in plies reaching as high as the ceilings, stuffed in closets and lying on the stairs. The discovery tells of the mania of Mrs. King and explains the dismalation of part of the estate left to her 20 years ago. There were no children born to the Kings, and when Mrs. King came out of mourning two years after her husband's death it was found she had developed an eccentricity of character bordering on insanity. She developed a "shppping mania," discharged all her servants, had the windows and doors of her home iron-barred, and refused to receive visitors. She grew worse, and at the end of four years, about 1839, it was thought best to send her to a sanitarium. At the time she was promised that no one should enter her home until after her death. When the court appointed a committee for her estate it was impossible to find more than $25,000 in a bank, and she refused to tell what had become of the rest. There was then no thought of searching the house. Mr. King died some weeks ago, and by her will Mr. Squibbs was the executor. When the legal formalities were concluded he began a hunt for the missing securities. When he turned the key in the rusty lock and entered the house the astonishing discovery was made. DAINTY CO-ED IN NEW ROLE Berkeley, Cal.-The dainty figure of a feminine soil expert, working with the bearded, grave old servants in the agricultural college on the campus, is to be a spectacle, unique in the history of the university, to be seen when Miss Alice Thompson takes her place as an assistant soil analyst in Dr. Loughridge's office. Miss Thompson is to be appointed by the regents to this position, and she will be the first woman soil expert to do serious work in this line of agricultural research. No daintier or more thoroughly feminine "co-ed" than Miss Thompson graces the campus, but she also has the skill that comes of natural aptitude and years of preparation for her peculiar work. For three years she has studied under Profs. Jaffa, Colby and Loughridge, and also with Prof. Hillgard, the great authority on soils at the university. Miss Thompson is a Berkeley girl, a graduate of the Berkeley high school, who entered the university with the class of 1906. She was graduated at Christmas, and now is ready to begin work in the field which hitherto has been left for the male expert to cultivate. As assistant to Dr. Loughridge the young university girl will deal with soil problems, irrigation puzzles, drainage and similar features of agricultural science. LONG JOURNEY IN A WAGON Civil War Veteran and Wife Go from Montana to Pennsylvania in Vehicle Uniontown, Pa.-Charles Ward, a civil war veteran, 70 years old, and his wife, aged 65, who have traveled in a one-horse wagon overland all the way from Butte, Mont, about 1,600 mi>3, spent the night in Uniontown, and continued on their journey to Harrisburg, where they visited their son. They left Butte October 13. Mr. Warl was formerly a veterinary surgeon and his wife a school-teacher. Their worst misfortune on this trip was at Beardstown, Ill., where a lantern exploded and the entire top of the wagon and $18, nearly all the money they had, went up in smoke. During the trip Ward was sick in the wagon four weeks with the grip, but continued his journey, his wife looking after the horse. In all kinds of weather they have slept in their little wagon, guarded by their faithful animal, half-dog and half-wolf. They are making the trip for the benefit of Ward's health. Look Out for That "Avoid reading tales that end badly," counsels somebody who is telling the people how to live a hundred years. It is too true, alas, that many a promising story winds up with the advertisement of some patent medicine. Fifty Cases in Cleveland Least Ascribed to Doctor's Advice Facts in Health Report Cleveland, O.—On Dr. Oaler, noted for his old-age suicide theory, is] the blame for 50 suicides in Cleveland last year. Out of 82 cases of self-destructra 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 Oaler theory was responsible for this condition. "Many of these, on reading the opinion of Dr. Oaler 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 nonexistent one, and Dr. Oeler 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 32 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. No Mercy for Luckless Borrowers Shown by Female Shylocks of London. 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 120 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 "olients" 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 OLD Leading London Hotels Have Ancient Product, But French Cellars Take the Lead. London.—The three bottles of 1789 brandy sold in Paris a day or two ago 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 "Boulestin" 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 Savoy is entering its second coatury, for it dates back to Trafalgar year-1805. It costs $20 a bottle. Two varieties of 1808 brandy may also be obtained. Yet these brandies are in their calf youth compared with some venerable spirits in the collars of some old French families—brandies which are over 150 years old and only see the light once in a decade, at weddings and similar epoch marking events. GRAVE RES-TERS VISITORS Failor Has Invented receptacle in Which Those Visiting Camstery May Leave Mementoes. York, Pa.—A. H. Kehr, a tailor, has been granted a patent on an odd and grewsome invention. It is styled "a remembrance card box" and is intended to be installed in cemeteries, the idea, doubtless, 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 Bough. The Moorish commissioner at Algeciras took all his wives with him.
