PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE A FIRESIDE COMPANION. It is true if you see it in THE BEE. VOL. XXV.NO.42. THE NAGARA MOVEMENT AND PROF. WASHINGTON. Eoin Meet the Approval of Hon. E. A. Johnson—What the Negroes South Think and Must Do—Governor of N. C. a Friend of the Negro—Negro State. A representative of The Bee met Hon. E. A. Johnson of Raleigh, N. C., a few days ago passing through the city on his north. Mrs. Johnson is the author of several books on the negro which are very important and benefited to the county. Aside from his attainments he is a lawyer and at present assistant attorney United States Court, Raleigh, North Carolina. The Bee asked Attorney Johnson his opinion of the Niagara Movement and Prof. Booker Washington in the South and many other things pertaining to the future of the colored race South. The Bee—What is the opinion of your people. South, as to the Niagara Movement which means manhood rights and Professor Booker T. Washington and his industrial propaganda? Are the ethics of Professor Washington approved? Remember there is a difference between criticism and attacks, and is Professor Washington doing good work in the South? Prf. Johnson—The people in my section think there is room for the Niagara Movement and consider its work all right and generally sane and needed except when attacks are made on Booker Washington. They think there is room and a field for both ideas. They are convinced that Booker Washington is doing a great and needed work among the people in fact they think that both the Washington and the Niagara idea has the same end in view. The only conflict is difference of method and not of principle Washington would seek to secure our rights by putting emphasis on industry and character, while the purpose of the Niagara movement is to emphasize more especially the political issue of the race. Just which idea just be left to the good taste and better judgment of those concerned. The great mass of the people, however, want both ideas emphasized; for they can easily see from the present status of affairs that a man with all the wealth of a Cresus and the best possible character is marked for political death in this country if he has African blood in his veins. The Bee—What advantage has a man in which ever one with character? Prof Johnson—There, is one advantage that the man of character and wealth has over the man with political rights and no character, and that is, he may move his habitat to a place in which there is less prejudice and can live with some degree of comfort, although he may be colored. It is also a fact that political rights are difficult to hold and maintain against a superior race that has banded together for the purpose of taking them away. The history of reconstruction teaches this lesson and the fact that it can be done and is being done shows that there is a "screw loose" in the machinery of our Government. It ought not to be so in a country like America whose flag is a synonym for liberty the world over. The Bee—There have been some changes South, you know. What changes if any will benefit the negro? Prof. Johnson—There have been many changes and improvements since the organization of our Government in 1789. [Image of a man in profile, wearing a dark shirt with a high collar and a tie.] M. JUSTICE LEWIS I. O'NEAL, WHO WOULD MAKE A GOOD JUDGE OF THE JUVENILE COURT. We patched it up then as best we could under the circumstances, and we believe the future is yet to show many more changes, and some of these no doubt will be beneficial to us. What the colored people in my section are trying to do is, to get ready and be prepared to make a better showing when this new emancipation shall come, unfettering them from prejudice, Jim Crowism and political degradation, and that they shall be able to hold what they then get by reason of their strength in all ways that make up good citizenship. What is needed is eternal vigilance on the part of our people. Our differences and faction should be given second place to a united effort to uplift the masses. The race owes much to the consecrated men and women who are now laboring among the people and it is this kind of work that is going to show results in the future. The Bee—What about the attitude of Governor Glenn, of North Carolina, toward the colored people? Prof. Johnson—Governor Glenn made a speech to a large audience of colored people at Shaw University last Sunday, in which to took a high stand for justice and fair treatment to the colored people of the State. He said that so long as he was governor there should be no injustice done the race in his State that he could prevent. The Bee—Are many colored people leaving the State on account of incoming foreign labor? Prof. Johnson—A large number of colored people leave North Carolina every spring to labor in the North. Many of them do well and are buying homes and farms with the money they earn in the North where they go on account of better wages being paid them. Negroes are getting better in the South as labor gets scarcer. The scarcity of labor is due to the fact that many of the working people are leaving, and a large number of those who stay are working in business enterprises of their own. The colored people have nothing to fear from foreign labor. If such labor is more skilled than themselves, it will help raise the standard both of workmanship and wages, either of which is desirable. JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION. THE colored citizens of Massachusetts have filed their protests against appropriating any money for the Jamestown Exposition. The colored citizens of Massachusetts have good sense and can readily see the dangers that confront them. This Jamestown Exposition will be humiliating to the colored citizen, not only of Boston, Mass., but elsewhere "Jim Crowism" will reign king and will prevent the well-bred colored lady and gentleman from enjoying the privileges and amusements that this exposition will afford. The Boston, Mass. Transcript publishes the protest made by the Massachusetts colored citizens which should be read by all intelligent citizens through the United States. The exposition will be managed by a class of white men who are opposed to the colored citizens and if they have any sense it all they will have nothing to do with it unless it guarantees that the "Jim Grow" cars in the State will be abolished. Princess Ena, betrothed of the King of Spain, writes daily to Alphonse in picture cards in Spanish. He replies facsimile, with the exception English is used. WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY MARCH 17, 1906. There are rumors in the air, and the secret of the anti-Washington dinner has been made known. There is to be an office filled which I shall state the kind and the knowing ones said, that is the anti's, that it would be an excellent opportunity to fool the Wizard to get his influence. So it was decided not to have anyone present who had heretofore supported the Wizard. It was an excellent opportunity for them to show their devotion and loyalty. The Wizard didn't catch on until it was suggested to support one of the number or this particular job. However, the President said that it would not do to appoint the individual named for reasons best known to the Chief Executive. Then again there are certain men in office who are anxious to be retained. Perhaps Mr. Washington may decide to help one or two of them, who haven't been so outspoken against him. Commissioner West has appointed HON. E M. HON. E. A. JOHNSON. more colored men than any other Commissioner in the District government. The dignified gentleman who walked down the aisle at the Second Baptist Church Lyceum last Sunday and put a silver 25-cent piece upon the table had on a tailor-made coat that gave him a Chesterfieldian carriage. The address of Mr. Shelby J. Davidson before the Young Men's Christian Association a few Sundays ago was a masterpiece of oratory. Col. Stemp, of Virginia, intends to make a different sight from the one that he made last fall. He will convert the colored Republicans in the future. Judge Terrell said in a speech a few evenings ago that he started to be a Presbyterian, then a Baptist, but he nally landed a Congregationalist without religion. He believes in the Christian religion, however. Col. Phil. Waters, of West Virginia, was converted last week. My information is that he was convicted by the holy Ghost. Phil. is a great church member. He can preach a sermon as well as any one. There is a movement on foot to organize a Quill Club. I hope it will be incorporated. The committee that has been inviting professor Vernon will make a favorable sport in a few days. Miss Brown will return to Kansas City a wiser woman. Twenty-five young lady soprano and alto singers. Must be nice and expectable, not under sixteen nor over twenty-two years of age. Call any afternoon, or Monday and Thursday evenings. In the recent views of Dr. Geo. M. later before the Civic Center, three important facts were presented, viz.: the nation of river pollution, unsanitary houses and oysters, which are the incipal cause of typhoid.

The Marcn number of the National Domestic, issued at Indianapolis, Ind., contains many interesting articles. Miss Susan B. Anthony died last Tuesday morning at Rochester, N. Y., of pneumonia. The United States loses a very great suffrage woman in the person of Miss Anthony. The coal men at New York warn President Roosevelt not to interfere with them when it is supposed that on April first the miners will down their tools. Washington was visited with a "mid-March" snow storm this week, the temperature being a little below freezing. Frank D. Allen, receiver of the Gen- tral National Bank at Boston, filed an amended declaration in a suit for $500,000 against the directors of the suspended institution last Tuesday. It is said that another international marriage has proven a failure and has been dissolved. Mrs. Ethel Tucker Lindsey has been granted an absolute divorce from the Hon. Archibald L. Lindsey, second son of the Earl of Lindsey, and the custody of her young son Miss Tucker was the daughter of Wm. A. Tucker, a leading Boston Banker. George C. Watts, a well-known contractor of Chicago, who died quite recently in that city, bequeathed for the support of his pet dog, Bill, who had always been his faithful friend, $20,000, and $300 a year for his horse, King. The funeral service of Mrs. Marion U. Hughes, wife of Rear-Admiral Aaron K. Hughes, U. S. N., were held from her late residence, 1614 19th street, N. W., at 11 A. M. last Wednesday. The Chronicle at London says that when Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas Longworth visit London in June, the guests of King Edward, they will stay at the Buckingham Palace. They have also accepted an invitation from the American women in London to a luncheon. Owing to the bursting dikes on the Scheldt River or overflowing tides, 31 persons were drowned this week at Antwerp, Belgium. It is said that the eruption of the volcano on the Island of Savaii, Honolulu, has increased and that three villages have been destroyed, one being Malaolla. It has been announced that the monument to Col. John M. Stoteenburg, in Arlington, has been completed. It was erected by Nebraska at a cost of $1,000.

Andrew Carnegie, who arrived at Richmond, Va., last Monday en route for Hot Springs, Va., gave $10,000 to the railroad Y. M. C. A. in that city. He also increased his library offer to the city by $100,000, making it $200,000. Prince Tsai Tse, of the Chinese Imperial Commission, visited Gen. F. D. Grant at Governor's Island last Saturday. Edwin Bindley, a prominent multimillionaire, and president of the Duquesne National Bank at Pittsburg, Pa., died last Saturday of pneumonia. SUNDAY SCHOOL UNION. The Sunday School Union had its quarterly meeting at John Wesley A. M. YE. Zion Church, 18th street, N. W. The meeting was very well attended and the exercises were very appropriate for the occasion. The president of the Union, Miss S. J. Janifer, was introduced by Mr. Herbert, the oldest active member in the Sunday School Union in the District of Columbia. Mr. Herbert remarked that Miss Janifer was the first lady president of the Union since its organization, and that the Union has not been as good in the recent years as it was in the past but he was sure that it would reach the stage of perfection now since a lady is at the head of it. The program was arranged by Mr. Neal, the treasurer of the Union; all the schools had some part in it. The superintendent of the People's Congregational Church made the first address along the lines of training the children so they will become useful citizens. The president of the Union made some remarks, in which she stated that in an executive session of the Union they had decided to have a Gospel wagon, and it would be in service this summer. It would go through the alleys and short streets and have their services. She proposes reaching those who never attend church. The secretary called the roll of schools and only three responded out of thirty-five The roll call showed the lack of interest Sunday school workers have in their schools and in their school work It is hoped that the new president will do more than the former presidents have done. ATLANTA UNIVERSITY Atlanta University for the second time defeated Fisk University in debate on last Friday night in Nashville. Fisk had the choice of subject and the right to nominate the judges, who were all of Nashville. The decision was unanimous in favor of Atlanta. The subject was. "Resolved, That the United States should enact laws further restricting immigration. GALBRAITH CHURCH. The second week of the anniversary services of Galbraith A. M. E. Zion Church were held three times a day, Monday and Friday evenings special programs were offered. At all these services the church was filled, and on Sunday evening it was useless for anyone to come after eight o'clock with the expectation of getting a seat. On Monday evening the congregation and visitors were entertained by Justice R. H. Terrell, Hon. J. C. Dancy and Mr. Thomas L. Jones. Mr. R. H. Terrell spoke along the lines of being a negro and that he was proud of it, and that the color of the skin and texture of the hair would never solve the problem. Mr. Terrell made the first speech of the evening and it was one of the best that the Judge ever made. Mr. Dancy was the next speaker and he spoke in the same old way, reviewing the church history and what it had gone through in saving the church property. Mr. Thomas L. Jones, attorney-at-law, was the last speaker and his speech was very appropriate. He admired the church and spoke of the good the church was to the colored people. He contrasted the church with the court and brought out many fine points and showed what good the church was to the community. SURPASSED LEIPZIG In the recent examination for position as music teacher in the public schools in this city twenty-eight applicants entered. Prof. Charles G. Harris, formerly director of music at Tuskegee Institute in Alabama and who now plays the church organ in Israel C. M. E. Church, led the examination. Out of the 28 applicants twenty-two were white and six were colored. The colored were Charles G. Harris, Ernest R. Amos and L. F. Henson, making three colored. The whites were A. Simmons, L. G Lynch, and Felix F. Weir, making two. Three out of six colored passed and two out of twenty-two white passed. Henson and Weir are graduates of Leipzig, Germany, while Prof. Haris received his musical instruction in Cincinnati, Ohio, and New York. Prof. Harris is a graduate from no institution and neither does he hold a diploma from any conservatory of music, but he led the examination and stood number one. He is a refined and accomplished director of music. He writes and reads music well and there is no doubt that he will be a great acquisition to the public schools. It is not always the person who holds the diploma that is the most successful. Prof. Harris is receiving the congratulations of his friends. WOMEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION The C. Y. W. C. A. and the Civic Club met jointly at the Asbury Methodist Episcopal Church last Tuesday night. Mrs. Barrett, of Philadelphia, and Mrs. Gitterman gave some interesting experiences of their work. Rev. Tunnell, of King Hall, also made a few remarks in the interest of the Civic Club, the musical program being rendered quite succesfully by the choir of St. Mary's Episcopal Church. Rev. Dr. Samuel Thackeray of London, England, who invented a musical appliance which will simplify piano playing, has opened a bar room (The Fish and Eel's) to make money enough to develop his invention. For light upon dark subjects, read The Bee. Relative to the case of our old friend Ill. P. B. Brooks, M. D., 33, it stands to reason that the doctor would not allow himself to be implicated in any such case that happened recently We are glad that the Ill. Brooks pulled out O. K. Among some of prominent attorneys are Perri Frisby, Fountain Peyton, Martin and others we will mention later. KAISER'S SECOND SON MARRIES DUCHESS SOPHIE CHARLOTTE. "Torch Dance," an Old German Custom, Follows Ceremony—Groom Most Popular of Royal Children—A Love Match. Berlin.—Duchess Sophie Charlotte of Oldenburg and Prince Eitel Frederick, the second son of the emperor and empress, were married on Tuesday, February 27, in the chapel of the palace by the court chaplain, Dr. Dryander, in grand state. The civil ceremony had previously taken place in the presence of the imperial family alone, in the electors' chamber, while the other guests were gathering in the chapel. The empress placed the princess' crown, of green velvet and diamonds, and a wreath of fresh myrtle on the head of the princess. Her majesty and the bride were both dressed in pearl white silk. The train of the bride, which was four yards in length, was embroidered with silver roses. Duchess Sophie, with pages bearing her train, entered the chapel on the arm of Prince Eltel. They were followed by the emperor and the grand duchess of Oldenburg, the empress and the grand duke of Oldenburg, and others of the two families. The emperor and all the congregation except the bridal pair joined in the hymn. A reception of the court followed in the white hall, after which the guests sat down to supper. The "torch dance," an immemorial German custom, began at eight o'clock in the evening. Instead of torches, candles, three feet tall, were held A. DUCHESS SOPHIE CHARLOTTE. (Pretty Bride of Prince Eitel Frederick of Germany.) aloft by 12 lackeys. They marched, two by two, in advance of the imperial party who walked around the vast ballroom, bowing to the 1,500 or so members of the court who were massed on three sides of the hall. The bride took the emperor and all the princes, according to precedence, around the apartment, and Prince Eitel escorted the empress and all the other women of the imperial family in turn around the hall. There was a time when the torches were held by the greatest personagen of state in this dance, but the custom has not been observed since the wedding of the late Prince Bismarck, when for the first time packers carried the torches. Duchess Sophie was born February 2, 1879, and is described as bright, pretty and amiable, and as being a great favorite in grand ducal circles. Six years ago Duchess Sophie, whose mother was the elder sister of the present duchess of Connaught, was engaged to the grand duke of Saxe-Welmar, but the match was broken off. She is well educated and has been brought up in a quiet fashion. Prince Eitel, the second of the seven children, is the handsomest and most popular of the kaiser's six sons. At 21 he is the beau ideal of a fair-haired, blue-eyed Teuton. In accordance with custom in the Prussian royal house, Prince Eitel was made a lieutenant of the First regiment of foot guards when he was ten years old. He received his military instruction in that regiment until he was 18, when he went to the university of Bonn in company with his elder brother, the brown prince. He has traveled extensively in various parts of the world, is the tallest and most powerfully built of the kaiser's six sons, and is a general favorite on account of his kindliness of disposition and unaffected manners. He is Knight of the Order of the Black Eagle and of the Italian Order of the Annunziata. Prince Eitel Fritz first met the duchess at the marriage of the crown prince. They met again some days later at Kiel, during Kiel week, when they were much together. Last September the prince made a visit of several weeks at Lensahn, the Oldenburg estate, and at that time the matter was arranged. The marriage is a love match, and formed a fitting part of the celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the emperor's wedding, for that, also, according to report, was founded on mutual liking, and not on reasons of state. It is said that the kaiser watched the princess playing tennis, himself unobserved behind a hedge, and fell in love with the girl. The kaiser approves his son's choice. The difference in ages is regarded as a good omen, for it was much the name in case of the kaiser's marriage, which has proved one of the happiest. Rare Gift Repartee is a rare gift, but a rarer one is the gift of not talking back. It saves a world of trouble. Ruler of Monte Carlo Interested in Airships—Curious Machine Built by Him. Monago.—The hellocopters, or screw kite, is the weapon by which the conquest of the air is to be accomplished. Such, at any rate, is the declaration of a great and growing section of the great army of "flayers," of which the prince of Monaco, the ruler of Monte Carlo, is one of the leaders. It is under the active indorsement of the A. PRINCIL L. OF MONACO. (Frenchman Who Has Great Faith in Curious Flying Machine.) prince that M Leger, an engineer of the principality, has built one of the most curious flying machines ever constructed. The apparatus consists principally of two enormous two-bladed screws, or propellers, about 20 feet in diameter, and made of sheet aluminum. These screws, which revolve on a common shaft, turn in contrary directions and are driven by two dynamos of 100 horsepower. The axis on which the propellers turn is inclined in an oblique direction, so that when the screws revolve a forward movement is imparted to the machine When the machine was completed the dynamos were set to work, but no sooner had they attained a tenhorsepower than the great whirling screws to upwards so violently that they snapped all the eight ropes retaining the apparatus at a single pull, though each of the ropes was capable of sustaining the weight of a man. Had not the power been shut off instantly, the whole affair would have plunged through the shed roof and into the Mediterranean. New and stronger ropes have been attached, and the prince of Monaco is now awaiting the opportune moment to turn on the full power and fly to "victory or the grave." TOY MADE BY CZARINA. Model of Emperor's Favorite Summer House Carved by Royal Mother for Young Son. St. Petersburg.—This reproduction of a photograph of the czarina's present to her little son, the czarevitch, was taken at Tsarskoe-Selo on the Russian Christmas day. The czarina, who is an expert woodcarver, fashioned the toy herself. it is an exact model of the czar's favorite chalet, or CZARINA'S GIFT TO HER SON. summer house, in the imperial pleasure grounds attached to, Tsarskoe-Selo palace. The model, which is beautifully carved in soft white wood, is built up of 84 separate pieces, and can be pulled in bits by the little prince and put together again. Danger in Pigtails Chinese pigtails, which are imported into Europe in packages of 1,000 pounds each, were recently the subject of court proceedings in England. A laborer who was employed in preparing camelk's hair, cheap foreign wool and human hair had been taken sick with fatal inflammation of the spleen (milzbrand). In order to fix the cause it was ascertained that the pigtails, after being cut off the heads of Chinamen, were at once braided and backed. The possibility exists that the hair came from the head of a Chinaman who suffered from the plague or some other contagious disease. Two previous cases of "milzbrand" have occurred among the workingmen of the English establishment. It is therefore indicated that these pigtails should be closely examined under the microscope, and the result may be to prohibit their importation. Trees Becoming Scarce It is almost an instinct with descendants of the earlier settlers of this country that trees are to be got out of the way so as to make land for cultivation. Until recently there were too many trees and clearing land was one of the hard, necessary tasks. Now the condition is different, says the Hartford (Conn.) Times, but the old feeling that there are always plenty of trees lingers and with it the notion that a little extra labor in cutting and hauling timber so as to preserve the forest is sheer waste of time. But the forests are disappearing in some places where they are much needed and they do not return for a long time when they have been cut clean. PRESIDENT RWARDS WOLF KILLER FOR HIS SKILL John D. Abernathy of Oklahoma Receives Federal Appointment— Cleverness and Daring of Man Appealed to Roosevelt Lawton, Okla. — President Roosevelt's nomination of John D. Abernathy, his personal friend, the man who captures and kills wolves with his bare hands, to be United. States marshal for Oklahoma, is variously regarded by. Oklahoma pebble. A man's ability to seize a coyote and tear its jaws apart with his hands does not, in the opinion of some people, qualify him for United States marshal. There will never be occasion to tear a federal prisoner's jaws apart. But on the other hand there are those who say that a marshal of determination and handy with his gun is needed in this territory. Abernathy lives 14 miles northwest of Frederick, the town near which President Roosevelt spent five days in coyote hunting last April. Though Frederick is his nearest railroad station, he gets his mail—when not rending coyotes—at the cross-road hamlet of Texca. Abernathy drew his farm as a homestead in the opening of the Kiowa-Comanche country in August, 1901. Before that he had lived in Texas. He is a simple, ordinary, freepoken farmer, always with an open hand for a guest. He is not given to worrying, is a good shot and is possessed of a good pair of legs, else how could he catch coyotes, with his hands? Abernathy had been catching coyotes for ten years, but outside of his J. JOHN D. ABERNATHY. (Oklahoma Wolf-Stayer Appointed United States Marshal) own community none knew of his special proficiency in it until announcement was made in 1902 of a coursing event in Fort Worth at which prizes were to be given for the best work in catching jack rabbits and coyotes with dogs. Cowboys and ranchmen from all over the western and northwestern portions of the state were in attendance, many of them bringing dogs that had made records at catching these pests of the prairie. Abernathy appeared, and at the close of the day he had won every prize by capturing alive and unhunt three fourths of the coyotes that had been taken. This made him known throughout the Lone Star state. Col Lyon heard of it and invited him to participate in a similar event in Lyon's park at Sherman. Tex Abernathy accepted and captured 26 wolves. Not long after this Lyon was in Washington, and he told the president of the remarkable skill of the young ranchman. The president was eager to see the trick done. Abernathy with his brother started across the prairie early one morning expecting to catch a few wolves and take dinner at a camp he had established on Deep Red, where his wife and children were located. Early in the day the brothers became separated, and soon afterward John and his dogs sighted a lively coyote bounding over the hill. They gave chase and ran the animal four or five miles, until in a densely wooded valley it turned and began fighting the dogs. It was an unusually large animal, and in a few minutes it had killed one of the dogs and was getting the better of another. Then Abernathy leaped from his horse and grabbed the animal. It fought furiously, tearing his clothes and shredding his skin in places, but he succeeded in getting a jaw hold on the animal, and then he keeled it over on its back and muzzled it with a rope he had in his pocket. On the last day of the president's stay on the reservation he and Abernathy started out on the ride together. About 11 o'clock Abernathy left the others and galloped off in a northeasterly direction over the prairie, resolved to bring back two coyotes by noon. He had ridden not more than two miles when the dogs jumped two sleek young coyotes, and their master gave chase. They quickly left the creek and the rough hills behind, and were out on the rolling prairie. The dogs followed one coyote off in an easterly direction, while Abernathy followed the other to the northwest. Abernathy soon ran his coyote down, and, dismounting, selzed and muzzled it. Then he carried it on the saddle to where the dogs bad, in the meantime, killed the other. Then he galloped away with the two lashed to his saddle toward the president's camp. Shortly after the president's return to Washington Abernathy received a commission appointing him deputy United States marshal in Oklahoma. Some of his admirers in Oklahoma have now begun calling him "colonel." Imposing Roman Catholic Edifice to Be Erected at St. Louis at Cost of $2,000,000. St. Louis.-The new Roman Catholic cathedral to be erected in this city, a front view of the plan of which is here shown, will be one of the most imposing religious structures in the country. The total cost will approximate $2,000,000, and it is estimated that the edifice will be completed in three years. The plans were selected after an international contest, Barnett, Hynes & DESIGN OF NEW CATHEDRAL FOR ST. LOUIS. Barnett, of this city, being the successful architects. The structure will have a depth of 400 feet over all, with a width of 212 feet through the transept, and the entire floor and aisles will be laid with marble mosals. The details and character of the exterior are of a pure type of Romanesque, and the interior is developed on the lines of the best example of the Byzantine school, susceptible of decorations both mural and mosale. The material of the exterior will be of gray granite trimmed with dark blue Oolitic. The marble for the interior will be of old convent Stenna, Alps green, rose Numidian and Pavanazze, highly polished. The high altar will be a simple marble table, without reredes, but overhanging it will be a large baldrican of silver fill-gree work supported by four pillars of white marble and onyx. In the rear of this altar will be stalls for the vested choir, and behind all will be a private chapel of large dimensions. The crypt will have many surrounding chapels providing for mortuary monuments. The interior of the edifice will be cruciform Celtic in effect, and the sanctuary will be flanked on each side by two large chapels, the sanctuary itself to be patterned after the great basilicas of Europe. The dome is to be a magnificent affair. In height it will be 200 feet, and in space will contain over 5,300,000 cubic feet. The site selected for the cathedral is on the west side of Newstead street, from Lindell to Maryland avenue. STATUE TO HARRISON. Memorial to Be Erected to Ex-President Will Represent Him in Attitude of a Speaker. Indianapolis.—The subcommittee of the directors of the Harrison Memorial association met in this city the other day and made the final selection of the figure that is to be used in the Harrison M PROPOSED MONUMENT TO HARRISON AT INDIANAPOLIS. PROPOSED MONUMENT TO HARRISON AT INDIANAPOLIS. monument to be erected in University park, facing the north front of the Federal building. The figure selected is one of the four designs by Charles Niehaus, of New York city, and shows the ex-president standing in front of a chair, without overcoat, his coat buttoned up, and in the attitude of a speaker. Some details of the figure may be changed; his coat may be unbuttoned, or his overcoat thrown over the back of the chair, but the figure as adopted will be substantially the one that will appear in the monument. The figure will be mounted on a pedestal which will be in the middle of a semicircular exedra, the whole design facing New York street and the Federal building. The amount raised, about $43,000, will be sufficient for the statue. Blindfold Typewriter Record Blindfold Typewriter Record.

Value in 1905 Reached $1,179,000,-000 Against $635,000,000 in 1898—Baw 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 50 per cent. and manufacturers' materials increased $303,000,000, or 117 per cent. These figures do not include merchandise from Hawaii 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 $33,500,000, cigars and cigarettes from $1,750,000 to about $4,000,000. In addition to this $2,666,000 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 $30,500,000. $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 1906. cording to a report issued by the bureau of statistics, department of commerce and labor "The total imports and exports of merchandise," the report says. $2,806,000,000, against $2,207,000,000, in 1900, an average increase of $130,000,000 a year. "If the $2,806,000,000 of foreign commerce in 1905 were added to the figures of trade with Hawaii and Puerto Rico, formerly foreign territory, and included in our statements of foreign trade prior to 1901, the total would approximate $2,906,000,000 or labor. 0,000,000 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 larger month's exportation in any year prior to that time being that of December 1904, when the total was $174,819,568. "The import record for 1906 is also in excess of that of any preceding year, being for the 12 months ended with December $1,179,359,846, 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 uncontiguous territory of the United States also makes a new high record for 1905. It will amount to about $120,000,000 in value, against a little less than $100,000,000 last year." FIREMAN GRABS AN EAGLE While Engine Is Speeding Along at Rapid Hate Bird Is Snatched Into Captivity. Denver, Col.-The fireman and engineer who took the Rocky Mountain limited out of here the other morning captured an immense American eagle as it was flying in the air. The experience is probably unique in rail-reading. The unfortunate king of birds will spend the remainder of his days in satiating the wondering gaze if the crowds at City park. The eagle measures seven feet and four inches from tip to tip. When nearing Limon the english crew noticed the bird flying and straight ahead of the train. The train was then travelling 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. CLOBATION OF CAVES UN- EARTHS MAMMALIAN. Ring "Quaternary" Period Animals Are Declared to Have Been Plen- tion—Proves a New Source of Information. CAL—In a geological bulldozer by the University of California here is described absolutely unmanual remains found during exploration in the "Quaterfine valley of northern California lasting just three years. The William J. Sinclair, a young artist who spent one summer in carving the Potter Creek cave in northern California. The specimens studied most of them obtained from areas though much new material was found in Mercer's cave, used as the town of Murphys, Cavern county. The fossils are composed but the bones are well preserved the limestone, and their dry skin is on a comparatively easy Perhaps the most interesting discovery from a popular standpoint, is of an unusual teeth. Sinclair, in making his find, says: "Camells are abundant in California during the Quaternary period, but they did pay a very important part in the area of migration about the Potter Rock cave. Three molars of a camel are found in this cave, but their permanent condition makes it impossible to determine their genera." Sinclair states in the text of his port that one cave explorations conducted by the department of anthropology of the state university have used to paleontologists a new more of information regarding the Quaternary vertebrate fauna of this site. While occasional scattered teeth and bones from valley alluvium, hay beds, stream gravels and asphaltene deposits of the Quaternary age in various mammalian species, has been impossible to group them in a fauna which might be regarded as a chronologic unit, owing to more or less variation in the age of these beds. The agenies involved in the acclimation of most of the bone bearing deposits have proved destructive all but the larger forms. On the contrary the caves, having acted to greater or less extent as receptacles for the accumulation of surface material, afford a more complete faunal word, as the condition governing acclimation are more favorable. Besides the remains of camels, were mentioned Sinclair found a rare number of species of the alternary mammals. The greater number of the species were found in the Potter Creek cave, but some material was also secured from the Mercor cave. situated near the area of Murphys in Calaveras county. A list of the species found and described by Mr Sinclair in the bulletin it follows Thomamys microdon, closely resembling the Thomamys emma, Potter Creek cave, Shasta county, Apidonta major fossils, numerous lower jaws found in Potter Creek cave, Teonoma sepiana, somewhat resembling the Teonoma clinerae, Potter Creek cave; Pligatynus, three specimens found in Potter Creek cave; Suscartherius collinum, Potter Creek cave HELD UP AT THE ALTAR: From His to Pay Claims of Father- In-Law and Board Bill of the Bride. Tretta, N J. — An Italian wedding here was interrupted in a remarkable manner when the bride's father insisted in holding up the ceremony until the weddinggroom had paid $50 he had promised the parent of his prospective wife. The parties were Miss Mary Cerone, daughter of Angelo Cerone, and Pasquale Miller. The wedding procession was marked in and Squire Manfred Nanr commenced the ceremony. Everything progressed smoothly until the officiating squire asked the blushing bride if she would have Pasquale for better or worse and she timidly said "Yes." Then Papa Cerone interposed and demanded that the ceremony be stopped until the smiling Pasquale had sent him $50 promised for the father's present. The bridegroom handed over the $50 and the ceremony proceeded. Mrs. Berta Sanderson demanded, all the brides owed for back board. With honorscaled grace Pasquale went down in his pocket and paid the second claim. Then the ceremony was allowed to proceed. Hear Taft's Speech by Phone. The tolerant James F. Land's desire for use in connection with telephones, was given a trial in Detroit and Grand Rapids, Mich., and a number of guests of Dudley R. Waters gathered in a Grand Rapids office and heard the speech delivered by Secretary of War W. H. Taft before the board of commerce in Detroit. A transmitter was placed in front of the secretary in Detroit, and each of the authors wore on his head a headband and receiver such as is used by telephone operators. The entire speech was heard perfectly. John J Williams, of Nantooke, Pa., is the candidates for the office of tax collector, has proposed to Richard B. Jones, his rival, to toss a coin, draw tickets, or adopt any fair way to determine which shall withdraw from the light. Jones has replied that he is willing to have each man select six others, the jury of 12 to determine which shall remain in the field. Frederick Holbrook of Vermont Is 93 Years of Age—Is Called “Grand Old Man.” Brattleboro, Vt.-Vermont's "grand old man," former Gov. Frederick Holbrook, has reached his ninety-third birthday, and his personal friends and the public united in sending congratulations upon this anniversary. It was planned that Gov. Bell and all the ex-governors of the state should visit the old war governor at his home in Brattleboro at that time, but upon conferring with him and his advising physician the conclusion was reluctantly reached that it was not best, for although his mental vision is undimmed and his physical health is remarkable for a man of his years, the excitement attending such an occasion would be very trying to him. Former Gov. Carroll S. Page says that "it may interest you to know that I wrote to the governors of all the states, inquiring as to the number, age, etc., of their ex-governors, and the replies received show that ex-Gov. Holbrook is the oldest living governor or ex-governor in the United States. I think he may with propriety be designated as Vermont's 'Grand Old Man,'" Ex-Gov. Holbrook, who was placed in the gubernatorial chair of Vermont in 1861, being elected to that office of grave responsibility by a gratifying majority in one of the darkest hours of our national history, proved himself to be the man of the hour and the place. His courage was unfalling, his hope and cheer unfallering. SHUNS WOMEN TILL DEATH Former College Instructor Declares They Can Never Be Trusted Possesses Unique Record. Des Molnes, Ia—Ed Upton, at one time, an instructor in Wabash college at Crawfordville, Ind, and a graduate of that institution, was found dead in the slum district of Des Molnes, death being due to drink and exposure. For 25 years he had shunned the companionship of women and it is said had not conversed a total of 30 minutes in that time with the other sex, never speaking to the wife of the man with whom he boarded. He explained his aversion to the sex by saying: "A woman can't be trusted out of sight. I never knew one yet who would not double-cross simply for the pleasure of making an idiot-of-ber friends." He talked little about his belief, but during an illness a few years ago A. P. Kelly, with whom he resided, inspected his trunk and found out something of his past, and Upton finally confessed his career to him. He said that he had been jilted by one of his pupils in Crawfordsville on the eve of their marriage; that he had immediately resigned and started west. For a time he made money here and once owned a half interest in valuable coal mines, but he started drinking and lost all. About three years ago he received word of the death of his former sweetheart and had not been sober since, except when unable to beg money or liquor. He would never tell where his parents or family lived. DEFRAUDS BY PHONOGRAPH Son of Wealthy Hungarian Held for Fergery After Court Uphold Claim to Estate. Vienna,—Alols Szabo, the son of a wealthy peasant of Szegedia, Hungary, who died recently, has been arrested for forging a will by means of a phonograph. Shortly before the death of the father the servants were called into his room and heard a voice proceeding from the bed say: "I leave all my property to my eldest son, Alosl, and my other children are to get nothing." As a verbal statement made by a testabor when on the point of death in the presence of witnesses constitutes a valid will in Hungary, this disposition of the peasant's property was unheld in the courts. A few days ago, however, Aloia's mistress, with whom he had quarreled, informed the police that the voice the servants heard was not that of his father, but that Aloia had spoken the words into a phonograph. He had placed the instrument under the father's bed, and when the old man had lost consciousness called the servants in and set it going. UNDERGOES 32 OPERATIONS Man Has Pieces of Leg Taken Off at Odd Intervals for the Fast Fourteen Years—Recovery Promised. New York—Charles Rorain submitted in the German hospital at Newark, N. J., to the thirty-second operation that has been performed on one of his legs within 14 years. The 31 preceding operations had, taken away almost all of his leg, and the surgeons found only a stump. Besides losing his leg, the operations have cost Rorain four years' time in the hospitals. Most of the operations have been due to Rorain's eagerness to leave the hospitals in which they were performed, affording no time for them to heal properly. Rorain hurt his foot in an elevator 14 years ago. The first operation cost him only a part of his foot. The surgeons say he will be fully cured in a month. Yiltz. Suitor at the Altar. With the clergyman ready to read the marriage ceremony and in the presence of the invited guests, Miss Clara Keckelsberger refused to wed Will Kern at Sterling, Ill. It is reported that she will soon marry another man. NEW YORK CHEMIST FEASTS HIS FRIENDS ON CHEMICALS. New York.—Prof. Thomas B. Stillman, head of the chemical laboratory of the Stevens institute and a member of the Chemical society, of Paris, recently gave to two of his friends what he called a "synthetic dinner." His guests called it a "chemical lunch." The two guests were seated all right and proper at a table in a private dining-room of the Astor. The host was seated part of the time, mostly he was hopping back and forth from a chemical laboratory which he had set up in the serving room and in which he cooked his part of the dinner in beakers and test tubes before every course. The menus, written in French with explanatory notes, gave the chemical formulae, long as the moral law, for everything. The best thing that Prof. Stillman did, and the one of which he seemed most proud, was the biscuits which accompanied the soup. These looked and tasted like ordinary biscuits which you see advertised in a street car and buy in a box. As a matter of fact, they were made out of things you buy in a drug store, and not a grain of flour entered into their composition. They were made of chemical starch, extracted originally from potatoes, cream of tartar, saccharine, a chemical sweetenin, bi-carbonate of soda, and artificial milk, a fluid containing all the ingredients of real milk, but which never saw a cow. The butterline which went with the biscuits looked like the genuine yellow product of the cow and the dairy maid. Prof. Stillman held up a jar of it before the biscuits came to the table, and explained that it would have to be kept out of the sun or it would fail white. It was compounded of "oleo" oil, a certain refined lard, artificial milk and "carrotine," a yellow coloring distilled from carrots. And so on down the line. The banana sherbet was complicated. Prof. Stillman admitted that he had some trouble with that. There were eight ingredients, including five kinds of ethers, all blended to produce the flavor and smell of bananas. Perhaps the raspberry jelly which came on with the ptarmigan was as good an imitation as any other. It was made of apple pulp, left after the elder was pressed out; of glucose, which is simply a sweetening made from cornstalks, and of a few other materials. The Martini cocktails, which did some shocking things before the evening was over, were made of absinthine, alcohol, saccharine and yellow aniline dye. They were an excellent imitation of the real thing. His imitation of white burgundy was better. The constituents of the sauterne, as given on the menu in French, were: "Acide malique, tartire, alcohol, ether, antique, glucine." "I could have made champagne for you," said Prof. Stillman, "but I thought I'd give you the luxury of champagne which is supposed to be real." WILL BE 40 STORIES HIGH New York to Have Tallest Building on Earth-To Be.595 Feet Above Ground. New York—The Singer Manufacturing company filed plans for a structure which will be higher than all existing skyscrapers by from 200 to 300 feet, and be about 40 feet higher than Washington monument. In connection with the improvement of the property, which it already owns, adjoining its present building, at the northwest corner of Broadway and Liberty street, the company will erect over the central part of the enlarged structure a tower of 40 stories, which will rise to the height of 593 feet 10 2-3 inches. The tower will be 65 feet square for 36 stories, and will be surmounted by a dome containing four additional stories, above which will be a cupola, and, if that isn't high enough, a flagstaff. With the exception of the Eiffel tower, the Singer building will be the loftiest structure in the world. It will be nearly 60 feet higher than the Philadelphia city hall, more than 200 feet higher than the Park Row building, and over 100 feet higher than any of the famous spires of Europe, with the exception of those of Cologne cathedral, which rise 512 feet above ground. Bare Work of Art Found. While workmen were engaged in renovating the Church of Santa Maria Gloriosa del Frairi at Venice, some ancient frescoes were disclosed behind it the monument of Doge Nicolo Tron. One of the frescoes represented a panoply with the coat of arms of Doge Tron and another consisted of decorative bands with figures of the evangelists in medallions. The discovery is regarded as of the highest artistic importance. Pineatem Through Tongue. George Hollowell, a kiln hand in the Oliver china works at Sebring, O, while smoking a pipe was playfully indulging in a boxing match with a fellow employe. The latter landed a blow which struck the pipe and drove the stem through the tongue of Hollowell. It also penetrated his cheek. The tongue was badly lacerated. GOVERNMENT PURCHASES SEED FOR THE COLONY. Five Victims of Awful Disease WIL Occupy Quarters on Isle Off Mass- achusetts Coast—Move to Protect Public Washington—Leprocy seems to be almost as old as the human race. Egypt is called its cradle, and on papyrus found in the tombs of Egyptian kings descriptions of the disease are given. Indian records show that it has existed in that country for at least 3,000 years, and to-day it is found to a greater or less extent in all parts of the world, from the tropics to Norway and Sweden. The United States marine hospital commission reports that there are in the country not far from 1,000 cases. Up to recently, however the only special lazaretto within the United States was in Louisiana, which had about 75 occupants in 1902. In the summer of 1905, says the report of the state board of charities of Massachusetts, the state purchased the island of Penikese for the sum of $25,000, for the purpose of establishing and maintaining an institution to be known as Penikese hospital. This island, 100 acres in extent, which is located about 13 miles south of New Bedford, is to be used as a retreat for those afflicted with leprosy, there being five well developed cases within the state at that time—two Chinese and three Portuguese, one of the latter being a woman. Upon this island, there have been erected at the present time four cottages, each 27 by 36 feet, one story high and containing four rooms, viz., a general sitting-room, two bedrooms and a kitchen, as well as a bathroom and closet—better quarters than any of the five had probably ever occupied prior to that time. The buildings are situated on the westerly side of the island and are well protected by the natural conformation of the land from the prevailing winds and winter storms. Hope is expressed that, for the relief not only of Massachusetts, but of other states concerned, congress will establish a national nepal hospital at no distant day. While leprosy is not a highly communicable disease, it is thought that the protection of the public would justify such action on the part of the national government. FALLS FROM AN AEROPLANE Oakland, Cal.—An unsuccessful trial was made by Prof. Montgomery's aeroplane at Idaora park, and it almost resulted in serious injury to David Wilkie, the aeronaut. At the height of 1,800 feet Prof. Montgomery signaled to descend, but the aeroplane did not respond. Suddenly, however, it was seen to drop from its support, and a shout went up from the spectators. For a single moment the aeroplane remained on even keel, then it swerped sharply, and began to fall in short circles. Clinging desperately to the framework of the airship, Wilkie could be seen making frantic efforts to regain control of the machine, and twice it seemed that he had succeeded. Like a wounded bird the aeroplane swept downward, twice righting itself, only to plunge again toward the earth. The last time the machine floated on even keel it was within a short distance of the ground, and to this fact Wilkie owes his life, for when the machine started again toward the ground, it had only a few feet to fall. It struck with force enough to wreck the machine, but the neronaut escaped with a bad gash on the nose and a number of painful bruises. STATE TO INHERIT WEALTH Educator Has Plan to Conflate Young Millionaires' Riches—How He Would Accomplish It. Schenectady, N. Y.-Prof. John L. March, of Union college, has a plan to abolish young millionaires. By it he proposes that the homestead shall be inheritable as at present. All the other property in lands and the like shall be sold at public auction as soon as practicable after the death of the owner, the proceeds, with the cash possessions above a certain small sum, to go to the state. The widow, the dependent male children, the female children and any incapables shall receive from the state an annuity dependent on the size of the estate, this annuity to expire at the marriage of the widow or daughters and with the completion of the reasonable education of the sons. Blames X-Bay for Insanity. Grover M. Vogel has filed a notice of contest in Buffalo to the will of his wife, Adie M. Vogel, one of the grounds specifying her inability to execute a legal documents setting forth that her mind had become affected by reason of X-ray treatment which she had taken. The allegation is made that the wife was severely burned and her mind completely wrecked. The point raised a question in medical jurisprudence which is unprecedented here. The total valuation of the estate is given as $20,000, and under the will Mr. Vogel is only to receive an automobile worth $1,500. Trance Comes in Handy. The man who committed bigamy while "in a trance" can console himself by indulging in another trance during his prison term. Habit of Charging Huge Fees in Event of Illness of a Patient Is Abolished. Geneva.—American tourists will be glad to learn that one form of hotel extortion has been abolished by a decision of the federal tribunal of Switzerland. The proprietor of the Grand Hotel du Cervin, at San Luc, in the Canton of Valais, sued a Geneva gentleman for $25,000 damages and payment for rooms vacated by guests who left the hotel on account of the illness of Miss Cartier, his daughter. Miss Cartier had been declared by two doctors to be suffering from scarlatina while she was staying at the hotel. Later it was discovered that Miss Cartier was suffering from only a cold. The federal court, by six votes to one, decided against the hotel proprietor and censured him for bringing such an action and made him pay all the costs. In the various continental hotels sickness, and particularly death, is likely to be an expensive luxury. Charges similar to the above case are frequent and usually the guest settles rather than go through a tedious law suit, particularly if he is an American. In case of death the hotel proprietor before he will allow the body to be removed from the hotel exacts from the relatives payment for the room the dead person occupied for the remainder of the season, claiming that he will be unable to let the room again owing to the antipathy people have to occupying a room where some one has died. In France the landlord can also collect for refurnishing the room, as it is supposed a room in which a death occurs is always refurnished. IMMIGRATION TO FALL OFF That Is Prediction of President of National Institute—Sees Decrease of 90,000. New York.-The annual forecast of immigration for the year has been issued by Broughton Brandenberg, president of the National Institute of Immigration. This forecast has for three years estimated the influx within 20,000. There will be, Mr. Brandenberg thinks, a considerable decrease, about 90,000, in immigration into the United States for 1906 as compared with the previous year. This is more in the greas than in the net, owing to some peculiar conditions. The extremely open winter in America has allowed an estimated 300,000 laborers to continue their open-air work with more or less regularity. At least 75,000 of these would have returned to Italy. Austria-Hungary and Greece for the winter and come again this spring, or been replaced by relatives. A vast quantity of work laid out for this summer has been done this winter, which will make the labor market far easier until August or September, too late greatly to affect the year's immigration. The possible coal strike will deter tens of thousands from emigrating. There will be an extremely heavy falling off in the Gallician, Russian and Polish Jew immigration. The events of the last two years in Russia have served to promote a new solidarity among the Jews and they are likely to remain where they are, temporarily at least. WHALE TAGS OCEAN LINERS New York.—Tales of how a big whale played tag with two liners in mid-ocean were told by passengers on the Kroonland, of the Red Star line, which arrived from Antwerp and Dover. The other vessel in the game was the Campania of the Cunard line, bound eastward. The leviathan was sighted by the Kroonland's lookout about three o'clock in the afternoon. It was nearly a mile ahead and a little to starboard of the steamship. The Campania had climbed above the horizon a short time before, and the vessels were approaching each other. When the whale caught sight of the Kroonland it steered toward the south, evidently intending to cross her how. It swam faster than the Kroonland was going, however, and with a disgusted sort of spout turned and made away to the north. By this time the Campania had come up. The whale kept straight on until it found the other black monster, with great red gills amidship, crossing its path. Then it turned, spouted furiously for a few minutes and then sank. Aged Woman Hoboes' Friend. Mrs. Temperance Ellen Talbott, mother of Congressman J. Fred Talbott, who died at Baltimore, Md., at the age of 91 years, had implicit faith in the honesty of hobos, and her confidence never was betrayed. No tramp or beggar ever was turned away hungry from her large estate near Lutherville, Baltimore county. For nearly 40 years the knights of the road who stopped at the gates always obtained a good meal, and in cold or stormy weather a place to rest and sleep. She had bunks constructed in one of the large barns, which were filled with clean straw for the accommodation of the weary travelers. In the morning the farm hands started them on their way with a breakfast and frequently a lunch for their next meal. BIG CUT OF LUMBER. STATISTICS SHOW 5,820,909,000 PEET CUT IN 1905. Figures Furnished by American Lumberman — Output of Northwest Territory for Last Year Proves Enormous. Chicago.—The pine, hemlock and hardwood output of the northwest for 1905 is made the subject of a statistical review in the current issue of the American Lumberman. The figures in the publication are accepted as authoritative by the census department of the government. The review shows that lumber manufacturers of Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota in 1905 cut 5,830,909 feet of all kinds of lumber. Of the total output 3,628,029,000 feet was whits and Norway pine, 1,195,073,000 feet was hemlock, and 1,077,807,000 hardwoods of various kinds. Pine production in 1905 fell 592,838,000 feet below the amount reported to have been cut in 1904, a loss of 14 per cent. The output of hemlock was the lightest in five years, notwithstanding price incentives held forth, which ordinarily would have increased the activity of manufacturers. Stocks of hemlock show a decrease of 38 per cent. when compared with those held a year ago. In hardwoods the cut was the second heaviest reported to the American Lumberman. Stocks on hand were moderate — 367,608,000 feet — against 392,550,000 feet in 1904. The shingle output was 1,465,069,000 pieces, the lightest recorded in 15 years; stocks were 470,951,000 pieces, or about 30 per cent. lighter than for 1904. With reference to the northern pine industry the American Lumberman says: "To-day the northern pine industry is centered in the so-called west of Chicago district. The cut of that territory constitutes about six-sevenths of the entire pine production, and the manufacturers of that district may be conceded to represent about that proportion of the trade." CURES DISEASE WITH LIGHT Copenhagen Physician Remedies Afflictions of the Heart in a Unique Manner. Copenhagen.—Dr. Hasselbach, though considering further disclosures on the Finson ray treatment at the moment premature and untimely, admits striking out on new and independent lines and has become convinced that the light treatment is effective in heart disease and affections of the nervous system. Dr. Hasselbach, after experimenting on his own perfectly normal organs, next experimented on two doctors. Both of these were complete invalids, one suffering from angina pectoris and the other from a nervous affection of the heart. This treatment, which lasted in one case for a month, and in the other for six weeks, resulted in enabling both doctors to resume their practice. Twenty patients—men and women—suffering from heart disease or rheumatic affections, are now awaiting treatment with the Finsen rays, some of them being already in the doctor's hands. Dr. Hasselbach's treatment results in very materially increasing the temperature of the skin; but the taking of the exact measurements has not yet been concluded. A hospital for the light ray treatment, provided with 30 beds, will be ready here for the admission of patients in a year's time. RATTLERS UNDER HEARTH. Munfordsville, Ky.-Forty-two rattle-snakes, ranging in size from six inches to five feet, were killed under an old-fashioned hearth at the farmhouse of Isaac Welborn, in the Roundtree neighborhood. Mrs. Welborn scaled the reptiles, and, with a pair of togs, lifted them out and placed them in a row for display. For several weeks Mrs. Welborn had complained that the house was haunted. Friends shared this belief and neighbors ceased their visits to the Welborns. Mrs. Welborn was on the verge of prostration when she persuaded her husband to remove the hearthstone. In a hollow place the snakes were snugly awaiting the coming of warm weather. Mrs. Welborn has forgotten her nervousness and gave a dinner party and everybody in the vicinity partook of the hospitality of the Welborns and viewed the largest array of rattlers ever placed on exhibitions in Kentucky. Has Longest Legs in State. Charles Coy, of Navorsink, N. J., has the longest legs of any person in the state. He is but 17 years old, yet is over six feet tall. His body is unusually short, and his legs are unusually long. He requires a pair of trousers 48 inches the inside seam of the leg. With all this height Coy is a lightweight, tipping the scales at 126 pounds. How Far Does Decision Reach? A New Jersey court holds that a man is not responsible for beer bills incurred by his wife, as beer is not a necessary of life. A certain smart set near New Jersey would like to know whether the same rule applies to cocktails and highballs. MEN VS.WOMEN There is a great deal to be said of the women of Washington. It is quite evident that their work speaks for itself. In all walks of life the women of Washington, that is the colored women, are doing more to build up humanity and our institutions than any other class of individuals. The men, or rather certain men, are seeking to destroy our institutions and degrade and humiliate our women. What are the men doing but making every effort to degrade the women and uphold the nefarioudeeds of corrupt men? So-called representative negro men are endeavoring to cover up and uphold corrupt men and justify their attacks upon women. There are some noble women in this city who are doing more to elevate humanity and uphold the dignity and purity of our institutions than all the men combined. The fight that Mrs. A. M. Curtis is making to protect our public school system should be commended. If she doesn't represent the sentiment of the ninety thousand colored people in the District against the unwarrantable attacks on our school systems who does? If she doesn't speak the sentiments of the colored people, will some individual come forward and tell us who does? Mrs. Curtis is supported and indorsed by the people. She is right. What has become of the so-called representative negro men? What are they doing to advance the interest of the people and our public school system? Some irresponsible person may say as it has already been said, that Mrs. Curtis is a meddler. Why doesn't some one else meddle on the same line that she is? Why don't some of the so-called representative colored men go before the Senate Committee and tell what they have done to uphold corruption in office and then compare their work with that of Mrs. A. M. Curtis. Mrs. Curtis is the mother of several lovely children. She is a property owner and has an interest in our schools. It is all well enough for a few individuals to hide themselves in a corner and condemn the work of worthy individuals and sneak away like thieves. This is an easy way to live and then preach to the world that they are the people who are advancing humanity. There is Mrs. Julia Lyton; a finer woman doesn't exist. She has done much for fallen humanity. She is a noble woman who has given her time and money to advance the interest of women. Miss Mattie E. Bowen, who will never be thanked for the sacrifices that she is making for her sex, electrifies every audience she addresses—a gifted talker, and a hard worker, and who has made more sacrifices than any woman in this city. She goes among the poor and lowly. She doesn't think herself too good to take a fallen womby the hand and endeavor to lift stray colored girls and women. No use to ask the men of Washington to start such a movement. We must appeal to such women as we have named above who are not too proud to take the hand of the fallen girl. A few days ago a representative of The Bee saw a young colored girl sentenced to pay a fine of ten dollars or serve thirty days in the work house. A gentleman who looks after unfortunates was asked if he intended to see the colored girl go to the work house. "Oh," he said, "I saw the girl's mother and she wants her sent to the reform school." White girls are seldom if ever sent to the reform school. They are generally sent to the "House of the Good Shepherd." Who is to blame? Certainly not the white people. The colored churches have a duty to perform and why don't they perform that duty? The colored people can do so if they will. Let them, as The Bee has said time and again, cease complaining and go to work. Cease fault-finding and do something. The city is full of idle colored boys and girls who have no opportunity to work. The white man is looking out for his boys and girls, while the colored man is complaining and informing against each other. His girls are by no means unjust treatment of others. We have the best public schools in the land and many of our officers are doing a great work to keep them in the lead. The present Board of Education is above suspicion. The colored schools are well conducted and those who are endeavoring to destroy our schools have no property interest in this community. What our schools fail to do, our churches should do and what the churches are not doing the women must do. We need a home for wayward girls. Will Mesdames Curtis and Layton and Miss Mattie Bowen start one? Out of a population of ninety thousand colored people they certainly are able to do something substantial because they have done nothing in this city since the foundation of this government. The men have robbed the banks, building associations and many other institutions. In the City of Richmond a woman has established a band and an organization known as the St. Lukes. It was unfortunate for this organization when it permitted a man to join. Now that it is established and is a power in this country, a few ambitious men have endeavored to dispossess the woman and take charge. Men will destroy fast enough, but will never build up. Let the negro men of Washington take a back seat and keep it until our women have established a home for fallen girls. EVILS TO BE CORRECTED. There exist in the District of Columbia certain evils that should be corrected at once. If the Civic Association which has been devoting so much time to matters that never improve the condition of the people, will take up certain acts and offenses which affect the colored people, it will be doing something worthy of commendation. In the first place there should be amendment offered to the District Code making it a misdemeanor for bar rooms to charge one class of citizens more than others for articles sold over the bar. "Jim Crow" cars from Virginia should not be permitted to enter the District of Columbia. The police court of the District of Columbia should be investigated and the rights of the colored people should be guarded with a jealous eye. There are other evils to be corrected. In a few days there are to be appointed two probationary officers in the Juneville Court, two bailiffs, one Judge and clerks. Will the Civic Club make an effort to have representation in this court? In the Police Court proper the colored people have no representation whatever, except as janitor and matron. A few days ago this janitor was made custodian of the Police Court building with no increase of pay. The Bee desires to inform the colored people in this city that their rights are gradually being taken from them. In a few years as things go on the colored people will have no rights whatever. They are remaining quiet and permitting favorable opportunities to be taken from them. Their rights in the public schools are getting less and yet they pay thousands of dollars lives to support this government. Every theatre in this city has a "Jim Crow" corner and yet certain colored people continue to attend them. Self-respect should be the first principle instilled in the colored people. Why is it that they permit themselves to be imposed upon without making a strong protest? The colored people are to blame. The so-called intelligent colored man is moving against his own people. What is then to be expected? The time has passed so far as the colored citizen is concerned to continue in the same old rut. Let the colored citizen do something and do it quickly. Let him work and advance his own interests as well as those who are helping him. Get rid of the evils that are now existing. INCONSISTENCY The Senate Finance Committee, as the Bee briefly stated last week, was investigating the alleged charges against Prof. W. T. Vernon, who was recently named to succeed Register J. W. Lyons. The most remarkable incidents in the appointment of Mr. Vernon is the attitude of the people and a certain paper of Topeka Kansas. Not for forty years have the colored people of Kansas been united on anything or anybody. This fight against Mr. Vernon seems to be made by the colored politicians in the State who allowed Mr. Vernon outwit them. After eight years of the death of a corpse, or charges to speak, a young woman is resurrected and brought forward and is claimed that she was insulted by this distinguished educator and scholar. Before Mr. Vernon's name was sent to the Senate for confirmation, President Roosevelt directed Secretary Shaw to make a thorough investigation. Special agents were sent in the State in which Mr. Vernon has resided for years and made a thorough investigation of the alleged charges against him. The result of this investigation was submitted to the President, which thoroughly convinced him that there was no foundation whatever to the alleged charges. The President then sent his name to the Senate. Since The Bee's publication of a defense of Mr. Vernon, without his knowledge or consent, the editor has received several letters from Topeka Kans., one from Mr. Mr. E. W. Hamilton and another from Mr. John M. Dorsey, of 1122 Seventh street Topeka, Kans. Both gentlemen protest against the confirmation of Mr. Vernon. Mr. Dorsey's letter is remarkable, in that he condemns Mr. Vernon and declares he is unfit for the place and in his paper, the Topeka Plain Dealer, he says that which The Bee requests its readers to read and reflect: MR. VERNON. "The people of Kansas, white and colored, except a few renegades, endorse the confirmation of Mr. Vernon for Register of the Treasury. The opposition to him in this State amounts to but little, coming, as it does, from a class of colored men who in their own business have never made a success for the simple reason that their time has been spent meddling with the affairs of people who are succeeding." Will Mr. Dorsey explain to The Bee what he means? In one breath he declares he is opposed by renegade and in the next he says that he is unfit for the place. The Bee is correct, and it agrees with Mr. Dorsey in saying that Mr. Vernon is being opposed by renegades. There is nothing unusual in the fight on Mr. Vernon by certain ambitious colored men at Topeka, Kansas, for it is confined to that hot bed of ambition. Since the time when the colored men first took part in public affairs in that State, forty years ago, when such giants as C. H. Langston, Capt W. S. Matthews, Lieut. H. Ford Douglass, that matchless orator, there has not been a time when colored men in that State supported another colored man who aspired to rise above his fellows. We do not refer to the masses, but to these gentlemen who eel that no honors must be bestowed except upon them. That the people are not opposed to Mr. Vernon in the State is evidenced from the fact that a meeting was recently called a Topeka by these gentlemen to protest against the appointment in a city or five thousand or more colored people the Daily Capital stated that only seventy-five persons were present, the major portion of whom were candidates for office. The only time this class "get to together" is when opposing the successful one who manages to do something and reaps his earned reward. Sometime ago Congressman Curtis from the Topeka district offered to appoint a colored man to a consulship when eight candidates at once grounded themselves and none of them would support the other. However, the appointment was not made, for each candidate declared he would file charges—the usual way—against the successful one. Recently one of them aspired to be Assistant Postmaster at Topeka. At once charges were filed. Of course there are some people who are opposing Mr. Vernon under cover and would dislike to see him confirmed, but The Bee is of the opinion that they will be disappointed. It is hoped that these gentlemen will not seek Mr. Vernon out after his confirmation and say to him, "Mr. Vernon, we have always been with you." ITS 50TH ANNIVERSARY The Rev. Sylvester L. Corrothers pastor of Galbraith A. M. E. Zion Church, has made a record as pastor of that church of which the connection ought to feel proud. Dr. Corrothers has been a benefactor in this community. He is an active and energetic divine and a man who has done much to improve the condition of his people. He has neither spared pains nor expense to advance the interest of his church and his people Such a man is an honor in any community. He has been ably assisted by Recorder of Deeds J. C. Dancy and many other well-known laymen. There is plenty of room for many other ministers to improve the condition of the city. There is a great deal more to be done among the colored people. Instead of so many churches taking up collections to civilize the heathens in Africa, the advice of The Bee is that this city and the State of Virginia are full of heathens who are in need of civilization. There is no necessity to send missionaries to Africa, especially when they are needed in the United States and especially in the District of Columbia. There is no country in the world that is in greater need for missionaries than the United States and more especially in the District of Columbia. Dr. Corrothers has been preaching to many of these heathens and he is to be congratulated for the good work that he has performed among them. This is no idle assertion. The Rev. Dr. Corrothers knows that The Bee speaks the truth when it asserts that the City of Washington is full of heathens who need civilization. The Bee will regret when the time comes for Dr. Corrothers to leave the city, and should the time come soon, it is hoped that he will be elevated to the bishopric for his good work. HUMILIATED. The colored man, woman and child are humiliated by law in this boasted republic. The laws by which he was humiliated are in violation of the Constitution of the United States. The enemies of this republic are pacified and coaxed and reasoned with to discontinue their violation of State constitutions and the Constitution of the United States. The colored man, who is and who has been obedient to the laws of which he is governed is no longer regarded as a citizen in certain sections of the country of his birth. We witness the educated colored man, woman and child boxed up in one corner of a car, designated a common people who are not entitled to the protection of the laws that govern the common enemy, or those who have rebelled against the republic. Have we a Republican party? If so where is it? There are as many Republicans in office to-day who are inimical to the colored man as Demo- rate. The Republican party wha guaranteed protection to all citizen under the Constitution is becoma if it is not already, the common enemy the oppressed. There is more attention paid to commercialism than there is to human rights. Parties power take great delight in humiliating the colored man. THE JUVENILE COURT The bill establishing a Juvenile Court in the District of Columbia has become a law and a new judge of that court is to be appointed. It is sincerely hoped that the President will appoint a man judge of that court who has some sense and not a man who is always looking for conviction. The judge of that court should be a fatherly judge and a man who is able to discriminate between a young or a hardened criminal. Can such a man be found? Has such a man ever presided over any branch of the Police Court. The Bee is of the opinion that Justice Lewis I. O'Neal is the proper man to be judge of the Juvenile Court. Indeed, he would so protect the interest of children that the community would applaud. One of the probationary officers should be a colored citizen. The colored population should have representation in that court. It is hoped that President Roosevelt will appoint the proper man. LEAVING THE PARTY The colored voter in the North are thoroughly convinced that there is nothing in the Republican party for him. There are over one million of votes in the country cast by the colored man and all he gets are three of fices—Recorder of Deeds, Register of the Treasury and Minister to Hayti—and a few minor consulships, while the Irish are appointed in every State North to many responsible positions They hold all the best places in this city and many other cities and don't poll as many votes as the negroes The Bee doesn't blame the Irish at all but the Republican party. The colored voter can't see why he should remain any longer in the Republican party because the Democrats have been permitted to disfranchise at least two millions of colored votes in the South without a protest. The eyes of the colored voter are opened. Among the few men in the South who have been a benefit to the colored race, Hon. E. A. Johnson, of Raleigh, N. C., author of many books, is one. Mr. Johnson is prosecuting attorney in Raleigh, N. C., and is a man of remarkable legal ability. He is generally popular and by industry and perseverance he has been able to accumulate some property. Elsewhere in The Bee this week will be read with much interest, an interview a representative of The Bee had with this distinguished southern scholar Mr. Johnson thinks well of the Niagara movement and also of the work of Mr. Booker T. Washington. He explains how the methods of both will enable the colored man to reach his diadem. THE BEE WOULD LIKE KNOW. If the people of this city will support a daily? How Recorder Dancy got his religion? If Rev. S. S. Corrothers will be made a Bishop? How R. W. Thompson of Indiana is now? When E. E. Cooper will publish his new paper? If he has not enough of editing a paper? Why editor Fortune is not cared for? Why M. T. Clinkscales enjoys banquets? If there is to be a colored bailiff appointed in the Juvenile Court? What the Maryland Republicans will do? Why is it that colored attorneys shun the upper courts? Will the colored attorney organize? EVANGELIST DREW PREACHED. Evangelist Simon P. W. Drew, D.D., president of the National Negro Baptist Evangelist Convention of America, and the pastor of the great Cosmopolitan Church, of Washington, D.C., preached yesterday morning and night at the great union revival in Asbury M. E. Church, on West street, Rev. N. M. Carroll, D. D., pastor. At 11 A. M. Evangelist Drew preached on the subject "Fighting Against God." At 8 P. M. "Prayer Meeting in Hell." the church was crowded and several andred were unable to gain admittance. angelist Drew preached a very interesting sermon with great force and fully persons stood up for prayer. The angelist is gifted with peculiar power. He is deeply impressed with his work, and the strength of his own conditions is carried home to the mind and hearts of his hearers by the force he man in which he presents and argues in half of the conversion and saving of souls. Evangelist S. P. W. Drew Rev. Simon P. W. Drew, D. D. use of the best known evangelists of the negro race of the United States. He is a born, gifted preacher, endowed with gifts peculiar to his work. His amorous spiritual and philosophical compositions. His power as an evangelist has von from every denomination the title of "The Colored D. L. M.ly of America," and the "evangelistie antin." New white evangelistic preachers excel him in the success of convicting and converting sinners, and no negr evangelist is his equal. He has an unusual manner with a noble, dignified bearing, and he adds much to his acquired talents by his pulpit delivery. His voice is deep and mellow, under perfect control, at times striking like a thunderbolt and compelling obedience to his words again plantive and persuasive, attracting his hearers by an irresistible force As a pastor Dr. Drew is likewise successful, his straightforward manners opens the hearts of his people, and his unmistakable sincerity (for he practices what he preaches) gives him a clear pathway to those whom he would bring under the influence of the church. In revival meetings, through his efforts many unconverted persons have professed religion. Fully 25,000 persons have been saved through his instrumentality as preacher and an evangelist in different parts of the United States. He is a great favorite of both old and young folk. He is a great lover of the sick and unfortunate persons. He believes in race progress and contributes largely to the marvelous success of the negro race, and to the white people of the United States. ITEMS ON THE WING Starvation wages are breeders of evils says Mrs. John A. Logan, widow of Gen. Logan. Among some of her ideas are that starvation wages breeds dishonesty; people who engage in this practice are responsible to a great extent for the downfall of many unhappy girls, who, perhaps, not overstrong, are driven to desperation and consequently are an easy prey to temptation, and heartlessness, which is the power behind the throne, dictates all such matters. It is this class that is usually responsible for irregularities in the integrity of men and women and for the traying of many young women into this path of shame, etc., etc. Instead of missionaries entering other countries, here is plenty of room in this country for more Salvation Armies to work. You can see it here in the D.C. Jamaica, Metropolitan Jamaica, April 27 to May 9; October 22; November 2. Pope Pius recently objected to a profile portrait of himself on the basis that he wanted to look straight from the canvas. The monks of the great St Bernard Pass will in the future operate automobiles to run from the base of the mountains. They will be the chauffeurs. Our old friend Dr. Geo W Murray is still holding the fort at the old stand, D and 2d sts, S. W. (Headquarters of Simon's Commandery.) We are inclined to think that the Dr. is matrimonally inclined for the simple reason he was reading a book (Why I Am a Single Man). This happened recently Free Masonry is divided into two grand divisions, sub-divided into many sub-divisions, all ruled by their respective G. Bodies. Pope Pius X. received Monsieur Kennedy, rector of the American College at Rome, who presented his honors with $5,500 of Peter's Pence from the diocese of Newark, N. J. At the secret consistory held recently in R. the probabilities are that the U. S. will receive another Cardinal. The admission of women to the three degrees of symbolic Masonry in Mexican Masonic lodges is a well-retested fact. They have been seen to be seated clothed with regalia all parties not Masons had been to retire. Relative to Schisms or Spirits the Craft, at the time the English grand Lodge granted the charter to the American Lodge 459 at Boston, Massachusetts, then engaged in Masonic war with her own jurisdiction, which terminated in 1813. After this date the war continued in the United States and her colored offspring (Masonic), which we regret to say has continued up to the present time-93 years. When a grand lodge or grand lodges observe the Landmarks of Freedom they cease to be a grand lodge. Remember we are not talking through hats, because we happen in the particular ease to understand the situation thoroughly. We rest here. ~ ‘oe: ? . * ns. as Of the Southland, “, ~ | cad.

Mr, Editor, I was surprised to note that this fine sentiment (?) of this Preacher, representative of “high civili zation” almost fell flat’ These Wash: ington people did not seem to be quite ready for that sentiment.

Yaht yah! kin I go kotin and git a nodder gal, a young gal and Eve can't done nothin bout it? Yah! yah! yah!” In other words this preacher advocate of “higher civilization” holds up to the world the fact that Nelse and Eve had lived in adultery under the same roof of the Camerons for years, and under the observation of the Cameron chil- dren. You are doing well my minister- jal friend; the young and thoughtful Americans will know something of slaves and slave marriages before you get through exposing your “high civili- zation.” Again in the second act our author docs not appear to realize that he is making the negro a hero. In that act he makes Dr. Richard Cameron (before referred to as father of hero) say, “I do not believe that these negroes will do any such thing—who fed your wives and daughters while you were off to the war?” The rebel, Gen. Forrest, is made to reply, “No, no case yet in| South Carolina, but down in Tenn. I! hear that one white woman has been raped.” {(A dastard crime if true.) At this time more than a million ne-, gro men were loose in the Southlaad and one white woman had been raped.

But he is a hero personified when he is made to say to the Governor of South Carolina, “What dat you say? - Nigger good as white man? Den take dat,” and knocks the white Governor down. This of course is in defense of his mas- ter, Dr. Cameron, Nelse is a “nigger” hero from that moment on, But what moral, will the young “nigger” draw from this grand final? That it is right ‘or. him to strike the sacred person of a white mon with his black fist? « Have a care, Preacher Dixon; your sebeh friends will Ku Klux you when vou retum to your “high. civilization” ‘n South Carolina.

Flora is the hero Ben Cam- sron’s sister, The sister shows the Srother her presents, Ben, the hero, and representative of the “high civiliza- sion,” takes the present of Gus, the old slave, and hurls it into the river.

Next evening—“nigger” Lieut. Gov.'s library. A neat library, just ike any other gentleman's. (Parson Dixon you have made a mistake.) In this roon, are enacted some things that are curiou: to say the least. Here we have th “nigger” soldiers groveling on the floor in abject fear because the Ku Klux Klan had passed their camp. Well, } wish it were possible for Preacher Dix- ‘on to consult séme of his rebel ances- tors who are in all likelihood sitting about the fire in hell, having been sent there by “nigger” bullets, relating to cach other their experiences in this world of debauching young negro girls and assassinating negro men, whether they by the clatter of their horses’ hoofs frightened “nigger” soldiers into “Bits,” as Preacher Dixon portrays. This part was overacted to such an extent thst the white men about me were disgusted with the absurdity ot the part. At this distance from “nigger” bayonets Preacher Dixon has discovered something that his rebel forefathers did not discover, namely, “nigger” coward- ice, Again, we have in this room the just rebuke or refusal of Stoneman to coun- tenance the Lieut. Gov.’s suit for his daughter's hand, not that the Lieut, Gov, was not as good as any person present, but it is the duty of rvery black man to marry his own kind and multiply ond educate. Mr. Editor, one thing in this play startled me. In the third act, after Flora was reported lost, her father, Dr. Cameron, 1s made by this peacher- dramatist to kneel and pray to Almighty God—not a stage prayer, but he lifts his voice to Almighty God in solemn prayer. My. blood ran cold, in the same act, way back.in the cave den of, the Ku Klux Klan, the captain of this. order of “high civilization” offers up his voice in prayer. From this, one] would gather that Preacher Dixon must be a Christian gentleman, Hence these blasphemous prayers, “ ~ Now as to the actors and the play Btnerally—the play is the production ‘of 2 pigmy, the vulgarity of which is its only attraction. The actors are only inediocre, but there-are twa who deserve special notice—the little white girl that takes the part of spoilt brat and the poor white that carries tales to his su- periors about the negroes. I imagine that Preacher Dixon. comes from the latter class. As fo the “nigger” Lieut. Gov., what could Preacher Dixon have been thinking about when he created this character, the best looking man in the whole troupe, the only man in the lay that shows any supetiority, having Gov. Shrimp “in the’ palm of his hand,” controlling the whole State of South’ ‘Carolina and if you please, Mr. Editor, stealing all the money? | What more could you ask of a polit- eal boss? I can now see why this play is not very popular in the Southland. ‘Tt holds up to the gaze of the world the blood and crime of the “high civiliza- tion” of South Carolina and holds up to thé young “nigger” his possibilities by following the “nigger” Lieut. Gov.’s ex- ample, . é I reiterate, Mr. Editor, there is noth- ing in this play that should startle the colored people nor that will ever give it'a place higher than the play “South ee ah eae ing this Ietter I have read Parson’ Dix- on's explanation or defense or what not of his-play in the Sunday Times, With your permission I will add a few words dater on, touching this last ministerial effort. : 7 ieee: ee Robert L.

CURIOUS LEGAL POINT: Bshall Cremated Corpse Pay Same Rate for Carriage as Body in Coffin? Paris.—A curious case now before a French tribunal invokes a point which has not yet come up for legal settlement. A certain New York doctor, whose name thus far is withheld, recently accompanied a wealthy western American to Italy, where his patient after a lingering illness died. In order to avoid the trouble and formalities of carrying the body to the United States in a coffin the doctor on his own authority had the corpse cremated. The ashes were placed in a small urn, which was then packed carefully and shipped as ordinary freight on which he paid the usual tariff according to weight. The doctor landed on the American side all right, but the steamship company discovered his secret and demanded the price of carrying a dead body in a coffin, which amounts to nearly $150 more than the doctor paid for the urn's transportation. This he refused and the case must be decided at Paris, since it was at a French port that the urn was shipped. The impression here is that the company will lose the case. TO DUPLICATE EVERY GUN. 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 turret guns of the battleships, would compel the ship to go into action in disabled condition or be laid up for months in a navy yard. The idea is to keep spare guns in stock at convenient points to immediately replace the damaged ones. Growth of Things Out West. A correspondent of the Checotah (L. T.) Times, and for whose veracity that paper vouches, tells the following: "The terrible news comes from the western part of the Cherokee Nation that a boy climbed a cornstalk to see how the corn was getting along, and now the corn is growing up faster than the boy can climb down. The boy is clear out of sight. Three men have undertaken to cut the stalk down with axes and save the boy from starvation, but it grows so fast that they can't hook twice in the same place. The boy is living on nothing but raw corn and already has thrown down over four buckles of cobs." Decorated Chef. King Edward's chef, M. Menuger, was among those to receive birthday honor on the occasion of his majesty's recent birthday. He is believed to be among the most accomplished chefs in the world. He was decorated with the Victorian medal. Other recipients of that distinction are understood to feel that in conferring the medal on a cook King Edward has rather cheapened the horses.

Windsor, VT—Miss Alice Kennedy, the American girl who had caused such a sensation in London society because of her height, six feet two inches, is a resident of this city, and a great favorite with the people of the place. She is a handsome girl, built in proportion to her height, weighing 240 pounds, and, though fond of sports, had never neglected her pet charities. Miss Kennedy is wealthy and accomplished. Her father was one of the founders of the cracker trust. When at home she entertains extensively and associates frequently with the exclusive colony, of New Yorkers who have homes not far from Windsor. It is said that she has a specially constructed set of furniture for her rooms at home, the table, chairs and other articles being four inches higher than ordinary. She is very athletic. She drives well, and would like to ride horseback, but is unable to get a lady's horse which can carry her weight comfortably. She plays tennis well, likes skeeling, skating and tobogganing, and is a splendid type of finely developed young womanhood. The average English society girl is inclined to be tall, but this stately American girl towers above them majestically. Her extreme height, of course, makes her conspicuous at first, but people soon cease to notice it on account of her delightful manner. She is as charming as she is tall, and her society is much sought. HIS DESCENDANT A YANKEE. Bradford, Vt.—Lineal descendant of Duncan Macduff, referred to in "Macbeth," Henry Clay McDuffee, the grand old man of this village, boasts the unique distinction that he and his father have voted in every presidential election held in the United States. During 29 national elections the McDuffee family, represented by father and then by son, has an unbroken record of voting. John McDuffee, the father, was born in Londonderry, N. H., June 16, 1768, and one thing that he continually regretted to the time of his death in 1851, was that he was not allowed to accompany his father to the battle of Bunker Hill on account of his youth. Time and again he told the story about him and his mother working all night running bullets before the father started for the war. The son began voting in 1852 for Winfield Scott, and at the last election voted for Roosevelt. Though 75 years old, he expects to vote for many more republicans. His records show that he is a direct descendant of King Kenneth Macduff of Scotland and Duncan Macduff in 1000 A. D. The name McDuffee was taken by the family after one branch of the family went from Argyleshire, Scotland, to Londonderry, Ireland, in 1612. Duncan Macduff was the celebrated Thane of Fife. The coat-of-arms which Malcolm III. of Scotland awarded to the Thane of Fife when he was made an officer of the crown has always been preserved by the family. PARASITES SAVE ORANGES. Scientist Finds in China Deadly Enemy to Scale and Quest Is a Success. San Francisco.—The most curious quest ever made in the interest of science has been completed by George Compere, who has arrived in this city. Compere has been scouring the earth in search of parasites to destroy the scale that kill orange trees. Every portion of the earth was visited by the hunter. He went from San Francisco to New York, to Brazil, to London, to Australia, to China, from China back to Australia and thence to San Francisco. In China he found the parasite, and trees infested with the scale were taken hundreds of miles inland, where they were exposed to the influence of the exterminating parasite. The trees were carried into the interior and there left until the parasite finally made its home in the infested trees. Mr. Compere brought into California some time ago the parasite which lives upon the worm of the codlin moth. Its development was so successful that fruit growers from all over the country have found relief from the pest. Smallest of Babies Born. Mrs. Charles Bybee, of Lander, Wyo-gave birth to the smallest baby of record in the western states. It is a girl and weighs only one and one-fourth pounds, is less than nine inches tall and its head is less than two inches in diameter. It is perfectly formed, has regular and pretty features and appears to be in excellent health. The physicians say there is no reason why it should not live. The parents are above the average in height and weight. Useful Like the Best Statues representing the various nations of the earth are being hoisted to the top of the New York customhouse.

Former Foes of Songsters Have Arrayed Themselves on Side of Audubon Societies—Resolution Passed at Meeting Washington.—Members of the Audubon society, which were formed for the protection of the birds of America, have met with a surprise as starting as it is grateful—the wholesale millers of the country, hitherto counted as the foes of the birds, have arrayed themselves on the side of the songsters' friends and have agreed that hereafter they will neither buy nor sell song birds, gulls, terns, grebes, herons, or any part thereof. From the herons is secured the beautiful algrette which all women love to wear, and from the sale of which the millers make thousands of dollars profit every year. The algrette of commerce is a part of the plumage of the white heron, which nests in the low lands along the coasts of Florida, the islands of the sea and South America. Formerly the "rookerles" where the birds nested contained thousands upon thousands of the beautiful creatures, but the plume hunters carried on their work so ruthlessly that the herons of Florida were nearly exterminated, and the same fate seemed to await the herons of the islands of the southern continent. The action of the wholesale milliners in agreeing not to traffic longer in the plumage of the heron or in the plumage of other protected birds, makes it practically certain that the feathered kind, which has made picturesque the sea and the land will once more multiply unmolested and retain a place in nature's kingdom for all time to come. The Millinery Jobbers' association has a membership including a great number, of the largest millinery firms in the United States. Recently the association met at Louisville, Ky., and there they passed a resolution binding themselves not to buy any of the prohibited birds after January 1 nor to sell any of them after July 1 1906. Ruthven Deane, of Chicago, president of the Illinois Audubon society, has labored for months to bring about the result just secured. William Dutcher, president of the National Association of Audubon Societies, recently received from Frederick Boda, the president of the Millinery Jobbery association, a letter containing the text of the resolution passed by his organization, and in which it was agreed that the wholesale milliners should join hands with the Audubon societies in the effort to protect the birds of the United States. In part the resolution, as contained in the letter from the association's president to the president of the Audubon societies, was as follows: "Whereas, we realize the Audubon societies of the United States are engaged in the work of preserving from destruction and extinction song birds and certain other species, upon high moral grounds, and that largely through their influence many of the states have passed restrictive laws on the subject, and whereas there is a decided variation among the states in the subject matter of these laws, and in their interpretation and administration; therefore be it resolved by the Millinery Jobbers' association, in convention assembled, first, that we approve of the prohibition of the sale of song birds, gulls, terns, grebes, herons, or any part thereof, including algrettes; second, that we pledge ourselves collectively and individually not to buy the aforementioned after January 1, sell or offer for sale any of these articles after July 1, 1906." In concluding his letter to President Dutcher, Mr. Bode, of the Millinery association, says that he trusts that the action of the body will show that the milliners morally support the Audubon society in their work of bird protection. He says further that he thinks it is the duty of the Audubon society to ask that the large retailers, which in the main are the department stores, should refrain from the sale of the prohibited birds, and thus cut off the temptation which some jobbers might meet to sell to these retailers the birds which it is desired to protect. Snakes for Moths. A novel scheme to rid the city of Worcester, Mass., of the brown tall moth was unfolded in a letter received by Mayor John T. Duggan. C.J. Brownell, a resident, has offered the mayor the use of 1,500 bull snakes, which, he says, will rid the city of the moth pest. To demonstrate his plan Mr. Brownell suggests that he be permitted to exhibit 100 snakes in the council chamber. The snakes, he says, will destroy 1,000 snoths in a few hours, and the mayor and members of the city council are invited to witness the demonstration. Pacts in Last Census According to the last United States census there are 2,055,939 negroes in the country educationally qualified to vote and 2,326,295 illiterate white and black who have reached the voting age also, there are 19,468,143 white voters in the country. A bill has been introduced for Secretary Taft increasing the pay of the musicians in the army. In this instance those who get the music will not object to paying the piper. Needs-No Chaplain.

All passenger trains of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad to and from New York City now have direct ferry connection with 23rd Street Terminal, in addition to Liberty Street; the South Ferry Terminal having been discontinued. enty-third Street is the most popu- terminal of the great metropolis be- cause of its convenience to the hotel, theatre and shopping district. In the recent remodeling of the terminal build- ing a glass roofed canopy was construc- tured fifty feet wide, under which the cross-town cars of the 14th, 23rd, 28th and 29th Street lines pass, so that pass- engers are protected from the weather leaving the ferry house, and also avoid the annoyance of street traffic. A) baggage destined to New York C) will be delivered to 23rd Street un- distinctly marked "Liberty Street," or otherwise. A complete electric cab service has has been established for the transportation of passengers and baggage at very reasonable rates. The importance of 23rd Street is most graphically brought to attention in the August number of the Book of the Royal Blue published by the passenger department of the Baltimore & Ohio, under the title "Into the Heart of Getham". The interest centers within a mile radius of 23rd street, Fifth ave- ne and Broadway. Full page photographs of unusual detail present a most picture of this most interesting locality.

Widow of Millionaire to Be President of Line Between Los Angeles and San Francisco. Santa Monica, Cal.—Work has been commenced on an electric railroad from Santa Monica to Hueneme. The name of the new road is the Hueneme, Malibu & Port Los Angeles, of which corporation Mrs. May Rindge is president and H. W. Lemcke general manager. The company is capitalized at $1,000,900, 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. Ralls, rolling stock and equipment have been ordered to the east. Several hundred yards of track have already been laid and a force of 200 men will soon be at work. The line will be extended from Santa Monica to Los Angeles, and at the other end, after reaching Santa Barbara, it is expected it will be ultimately pushed on to San Francisco. The section of the road now building is the first part of what is proposed to be a beach trolley line from Los Angeles to San Francisco. Mrs. Rindge, whose name appears as the president of the company, is the widow of the late multi-millionaire Frederick H. Rindge, who initiated the enterprise. Rindge left an estate of $35,000,000, which fact guarantees the financial stability of the present undertaking. WILL MOVE THE TOWN. Steel Corporation Likely to Change Site of Sparta, Where Drills Have Been Working. Duiuth, Minn.—it is probable that the village of Sparta, two and a half miles east of Eveleth Mesaba Range, will have to be removed to a new location near the present site. The town, which has a population of 1.000 people, has met with the experience of Eveleth in its earlier days. Iron ore has been found beneath the town site, and to mine it it will be necessary to remove the buildings. Diamond drilling has been in progress in the village or close to it, for the last two years, and, while there is no official information as to the extent of the ore discoveries, it is the general understanding that the existence of large bodies of mineral has been proved. The exploratory work has been done by a steel corporation, which controls the mineral rights in the town site. The village was established eight or nine years ago, when the Genoa mine was opened. This property is still in commission, as are the Malta, Sparta and Pettit, in the same field. The Hobart mine is a new property being opened up near Sparta. DESIRE SANE LOVEMAKING. Indiana Girls Oppose Late "Spooning" and "More Than Two Nights a Week. Logansport, Ind.—For the purpose of discouraging swains with a disposition to monopolize all their time and to encourage the habit of "breaking away" early, the Cupid Ten O'Clock club is waging a reform for sanity in love-making. 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 believes that "no two young people can have anything so important to say that it cannot fully be discussed in a three hour call." Announcing in newspapers her intention to combat evils arising from too great familiarity before marriage, she called for enrolments in the new oiub, and declares it will revolutionize lovemaking in Logansport. She hopes to extend the idea throughout the state. Miss Moore is only 18 years old and is of a prominent old family Baltimore & Ohio RAILROAD.

JUSTH'S OLD STAND. Established 1865. 619 D St. N. W GROTESQUE VESSELS DUG UP IN SOUTH AMERICA. Are Probably Specimens of Extinct Empire of the Chibchas of Pre Spanish Times Rolls Round New York.—Beneath the soil of the South American republic of Colombia there have just been brought to light: some remarkable buried treasures in the line of curious animal-shaped pottery, each incised and made of black clay. These specimens are perhaps the only vestiges left of the vanished empire of the Chichas, which flourished in this region in pre-Spanish times. The American Museum of Natural History has acquired these discoveries, and Curator Charles Mead is arranging them for exhibition. The find consists of nearly 200 black pottery vessels, with deep incisions, fantastically molded to represent animals common to that region and some mythological ones, with a few human portrait pieces. This unique collection of black ware, the first to be seen in this country, is said to be the finest extant. These grotesque pottery vessels, many of which contained fine golden ornaments, were votive and mortuary offerings placed in the graves along with the bodies of the dead. The collection was found in the Cauca river valley, Colombia, about 150 miles from the Pacific ocean. This stream is one of the tributaries of the Magdalena. The pottery was unearthed by some of the Indian placer miners who now carry on the business of sluice washing the ancient burial grounds of their ancestors Turtle Bear Bear ANIMAL SHAPED POTTERY. (Some of the Curious Specimens Recently Found in South America.) to obtain gold objects, which are sold only for their metal. The Cauca valley, in pre-Spanish times, was the domain of the Chibcha nation, which for hundreds of miles along both banks of the river had established a fairly advanced and flourishing civilization. A retinue of chiefs, with one leader, administered the government. Next to the Mexicans and ancient Peruvians, or Incas, they are classed third in the list of aboriginal races as to culture. The rest of Colombia was inhabited by other independent tribes living in lower stages of enlightenment. The Chibchas and their neighboring tribes have disappeared entirely Between 1536 and 1540 the Spanlards conquered the Chibchas and took possession of their territory. The Chibchas left no written language, and the Spanish manuscripts which have been preserved give only fragmentary information, so that nearly all the knowledge of this people is due to their handicraftsmen. The great abundance of gold and the lavishness of display which flourished among the people and their skill in fashioning this metal into striking shapes are clearly shown by the numerous personal ornaments, statuettes and ceremonial objects rescued from their burial places. Instead of sacrificing the living animals, on some occasions figures of solid gold representing them were buried as offerings. Most of the gold specimens are handsome and massive and were used largely as ear, lip, nose and breast ornaments. Experimental Coal Mine. Authorities of Birmingham university, England, have recently opened on the university grounds an experimental coalmine, occupying nearly an acre of ground. The purpose is to give practical instruction to students in all the problems and operations of coal mining. They are exercised in underground surveying, the connection of surface with underground surveys, the testing of ventilation, the measurement of air volumes and velocities, the friction of air currents, the various methods of breaking coal, and the management of different kinds of drills and cutting machines. The completion of this artificial mine has been awaited with interest, and it is expected to prove very valuable in teaching the science of mining. Birds Don't Fly So High The use of an astronomical telescope to determine a fact of bird life is described in Popular Astronomy by Prof. Stebbins, of the University of Illinois, He and Dr. Carpenter, of the zoological department, measured the height of migrating birds by using two telescopes stationed some distance apart, thus showing that the birds do not fly so high as most authorities had supposed. In May the height of nine birds varied from 1,200 to 2,400 feet, and in October the same number ranged from 1,400 to 5,400 feet. In both cases, however, a majority of the birds observed few lower than 1,200 feet. Congressman Grosvenor of Ohio, De- fected for Remomination, Seeks an Appointment. Washington.—Representative Grosvenor, of Ohio, who was recently de- fected for renomination, through his friends, will ask President Roosevelt for a diplomatic appointment on his retirement from the house. His re- quest will be for a modest assignment to The Hague, Belgium or Switzerland. The retirement of Gen. Grosvenor GEN. GROSVENOR. (Ohio Congressman Who May Receive Foreign Appointment.) will remove an enemy from the path of Representative Burton, of Cleveland, chairman of the rivers and harbors committee. Grosvenor has consistently resisted the efforts of any colleague on the Ohio delegation to rise in the house. In Burton he saw his most dangerous rival for the leadership of the Ohio delegation. He has opposed, whenever possible, all legislation in which Mr. Burton has had a personal interest. A conspicuous example was furnished during the last congress in a fight over the material to be used in the Cleveland post office, in which Mr. Burton upset the house organization. Another was the support of Gen. Grosvenor of amendments offered to the river and harbor bill by the Philadelphia delegation in congress and earnestly opposed by Mr. Burton as chairman of the rivers and harbors committee. Representatives Burton and Tawney, of Minnesota, now chairman of the committee on appropriations, will be candidates for the vacancy on the committee on rules caused by the retirement of Gen. Grosvenor, and will eventually be rivals for the speakership, if both remain in congress, if the Republicans remain in power, and if Speaker Cannon should ever think he wants to retire. Noted British Sportsman Will Once More Attempt to "Lift" the America's Cup. New York.—Sir Thomas Lipton, the gameest sport on the other side of the big pond, is making plans for another campaign, against the New York Yacht club next year, and the bone of contention will be the America's cup, for which the popular Irish baroner already has tried three times. A letter has been received in this city from Sir Thomas, in which he J. SIR THOMAS LIPTON. (He Will Make Another Attempt to Capture the America's Cup) says he still has hopes of capturing the famous trophy and is considering plans for the building of a new challenger, which he hopes to bring here some time in 1907. It is said on good authority that Sir Thomas may bring over a schooner, and that the new boat will be built up to the limit of that type of yacht allowed under the terms of the deed of gift, which is 115 feet on the water line. Sir Thomas has also consented to the amendments made in two articles in the original deed of gift, which materially alters the number of boats eligible to contest for the Lipton cup in the annual race on the great lakes. The public boring of a young girl's ears is in Burmah the equivalent of her "coming out." The ceremony has just been performed on an elaborate scale in the case of two daughters of Maung Tin, of Mandelay. They sat side by side on a platform, attired in the richest and daintiest costumes imaginable both of them pretty girls and decked of course, with flowers, while on the head of each was a massive crown of pure gold, studded with gems to make one's mouth water.

There was a large delegation of Negro citizens of this State before the Committee on Federal Relations in opposition to the appropriation of any sum by the Legislature for the purpose of erecting a State building at the Jamestown Exposition in Virginia next year. Ex-Senator Fairbanks of the Board of Commissioners representing the State at the Louis and Clark and Louisiana expositions, in favor of an appropriation, said he had visited the grounds of the company, found it to be a delightful spot, with three fine railroads running into the grounds. He said within the grounds the company has graded its roads, trees are set, fences made, sewerage and water pipes laid, and a large quantity of lumber is on the ground ready for the construction of the buildings. He had asked, he said, for a location near the water front, and the matter was called to the attention of the board of governors, and on his return to Massachusetts he received a telephone message in Washington that his request had been granted. The location, he said, is next to that of Virginia, and very close to the buildings of Connecticut, Rhode Island and New York. In reply to Chairman Taft, Mr. Fairbanks said that an appropriation of $100,000 would not be any too much in comparison with the appropriations of other States, but thought $75,000 would make a very creditable showing. George Ward Cook of Haverhill said that he is a graduate of at least a dozen expositions, and had no hesitation in lending his voice to aid this one. Massachusetts, he said, must look to her HUGHES AND GRAY, ATTORNEYS. In the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia. Addie Jett White vs. Arthur White. No. 25,992. Equity Docket No. 57. The object of this suit is to obtain an absolute divorce on the ground of adultery. On motion of the complainant, it is this 8th day of March. A. D., 1906, ordered that the defendant cause his appearance to be entered herein on or before the fortieth day, exclusive of Sundays and legal holidays, occurring after the day of the first publication of this order; otherwise the cause will be proceeded with as in case of default.

Test: John R. Young, Clerk. By Wms. F. Lemon, Asst. Clerk. laurels, for the great West is fast building up her industries, and this State should not overlook the great commercial welfare that would be derived from an exhibition at such an exposition as this. G. T. Shepperd, secretary of the company, said a Jamestown exposition without the State of Massachusetts would be like a play of "Hamlet" with Hamlef out. The exposition, he said, is not to be an Atlanta, Charleston or a Buffalo exposit n, but one where all citizens of the county, irrespective of nationality, creed or political belief should participate. He said every nation in the world, with the exception of Siam, would be represented by some part of its navy, and cited Secretary Taft as his authority. This closed the case of the petitioners, and Clement G. Morgan, of Cambridge, began the opposition. He said the Louisiana exposition was a most previous one for some of the people of this State, and they were subjected to indignities which no one could understand without actually going through them. The Jamesstown exposition, he said, would be the very same thing, and a Negro citizen of Massachusetts would not be able to get even a bite to eat without walking in the hot sun to some remote part of the grounds. The time has come for Massachusetts to say that she regards all her citizens with equal care, and that she does not approve of an exposition where her children will be not allowed to go into the same buildings. Rev. R.C. Ransom, of this city, said: "If you appropriate the sum of $100,000, we as Negro citizens of this State will not get the benefit of our part of the appropriation. Under the laws of Virginia we must ride in separate compartments of the street and railroad cars, and very likely they will have a separate turnstile by which we must enter the grounds." Butler R. Wilson, a Boston lawyer, said the remonstrants present this morning represent more than twenty thousand Negro voters of Massachusetts. "For years your ancestors held mine in slavery, but Negroes came before the General Court and you heard their petition. For years our children were not allowed the same privileges as yours in the public schools, but Negroes came here and again you heard their petition Now again we come here, and again we ask you to favor our petition. At one time your ancestors were irite straits in the Southland and our fathers, 160,000 of them, went to their aid. No more splendid exhibition of heroism was ever shown than that given by the Negro troops under Colonel Hallowell and his brother. "You cannot ride in the streets of Jamestown with me as your guest, for you would be breaking the laws of Virginia. I would like to go down there and see the celebration of the settlement of Jamestown, but I don't want to go if I cannot be treated decently. If you appropriate a single cent of the State's money for this exposition, you are spending our money, and that is taxation without representation." Mrs. Sparrow told the humiliating experiences she was compelled to go through on her last visit to Virginia, and said she would not care to go through the same thing again. Rev. H. J. Kellis, of the Columbia Avenue Church, hoped the State of Massachusetts would say to Virginia: "We cannot help you, because you discriminate against pur citizens," and asked the committee to find out before recommending an appropriation, if all citizens of the State are to be allowed to eat, drink, and, if necessary, sleep under the same roof. Colonel Hallowell of the Fifty-Fifth Massachusetts Regiment in the war, spoke with deep feeling of the regard he had for the men who served under him during that conflict, and declared that if they were good enough to be entrusted with the care of the defense of the flag in 1863 they are good enough now to be protected against insult, and the General Court, sitting under the flag which they defended, should not vote to place any restrictions upon them. This appropriation, he said, would be nothing less than an affront to Governor Andrews, who gave him his commission to lead his colored regiment against the enemy.

Ex-Attorney General Pillsbury also spoke in opposition to the appropriation and said that an insult to an Irish, He brew or colored citizen of this Commonwealth is an insult to himself. He suggested that an amendment be made to provide that the appropriation be operative only upon presentation of proof to the auditor of the State that the citizen are to receive equal rights. In closing Mr. Shepperd said he had met the first protest against the exposition this morning. He declared that he has only the kindiest feelings for the Negroes, and that the exposition management has no idea of separating the exhibits of the Negroes from those of the white. "Of course," he said, "we can speak only for the State of Virginia but in the State building there will be no discrimination."

The Base Ball House, 1528 7th street, is one of the most popular places of business in the city. There are places that claim to surpass this house for pure whiskey, but the consensus of opinion is among those who have good tastes that the BASE BALL HOUSE under the management of W. J. Donovan 1 is unequalled. This house is known to have the purest and best whiskies in the market. His excellent selections are made with care. The patron's health is more important than anything else, hence W. J. Donovan makes it a business to purchase the purest and the best wines and liquors the market affords. HIS COLUMBIA-CLUB.
