101. XXV.NO.43. WORK VIOLENCE—WORK OF THE CIVIC RIGHTS FEDERATION. Louisville, Ky., March 15.—The petition of the National Federation of Civic Rights, asking that legislation be enacted looking to the suppression of mob violence and the punishment of persons practicing lynching has been introduced into the United States Senate by Senator A. J. Beveridge, and into the House of Representatives by Congressman J. H. Foster, of Indiana, first district, and in the hands of the Judiciary Committee of the respective branches of the national legislature. The further purpose of the Federation are comprehensively set forth in a strong open letter written by Judge John H. Stotsenburg, president of the organization, in which he takes high ground for honorable negro citizenship and pleads eloquently for the constitutional rights guaranteed to every American by the Federal compact. The letter comes in response to an inquiry propounded by a committee of colored men of New Albany, who wish to know what the negro should do for the protection of his people in the crisis that now confronts us. The submitted correspondence is self-explanatory. "Who Skill the Negro Do for Self- Preservation?" New Allany, Ind., March 1, 1906. Her John H Stotsenburg. President National Federation of Federation of Civic Rights. In view of the prevalence of mob violence, North and South, culigating in the murder of colored persons of crimes, and in the desecration of incendiarism of their homes in view of the fact, also, that a number of any of these mobs may be punished; we should be mindful our opinion as a friend of the race, as to what measures the people of the race as good citizens could adopt for self-protection from mobs. Respectfully yours. D. S. Maxwell, E. R. Caddie, Henry Brown, T. J. Johnson, Jonny Sterrett. of explanation we may state in Stotsenburg is a white man—a humanitarian and champion of liberty of the Garrison and Greely type, now so minutely rare. He is an able lawyer, learned jurist, and is as bitterness in the oppression of a worker as Thaddeus Stevens, Wendy Phillips and Charles Summer. He is of the word" as well as a connoisseur and has given much of his energy and means for the promotion of the Federation, mob violence and court in the courts. At the graduation of the Episcopalians in the year he introduced a resolution in scathing terms, all forms of wilness in the land, integrity with particular severity against the hardships burning and torturing of human beings in the Southern States, demand that this Christian nation endorses no execution not ordered by a court of justice, impartial trial of the body of his peers, and ask to go on record against such practices. The word is no fault of his. He is the fight undaunted by millions of so-called Master of human destiny. Judge's letter is full of valuable and can be read with striction by whites as well throws additional light plies underlying the Federal Rights, and outlines which put into action will answer not only bound by the colored Many, to whom the brothly directed, but offers food for thought for between the oceans.

There is nothing in that party now. The rights of the colored man have been taken from him. The "Jim Crow" law is a fact and what more? There is nothing ofr the colored voter to get. If the Democratic party should come into power, there is nothing more for it to do. I feel confident, whoever the Democratic president may be, he would certainly find enough intelligent Democratic negroes to fill the few places held by negro Republicans. What has he colored man to lose, is the question? 1st. He is not permitted to vote. 2d. He is "Jim Crowed." 3d. There is no more to take from him than what has already been taken.

Don't talk to me about the intelligent colored man. The real lawyer who hasn't sufficient practice has established a whole court. I understand that the anti-Booker Washington dinner givers will so declare for the Wizard. I hear that they have seen the errors of their ways and have called for repentence. I am sorry to say that the Wizard does not need their services and if they declare themselves they will do it without any hope of future reward. Some people generally follow the crowd. Just now the sinners have come to repentence. I understand that baptizing is frequent and conversions are numerous. It is a nice thing for sinners to see the errors and call on the Lord for repentance. It is a sin however to make a mockery of religion. It should not be done. Is there nothing for the colored man in this city to do to improve his condition. He should do something other than talk so much. What has colored conventions accomplished? I have attended many and heard many of their resolutions and in the next breath they act just the opposite. They never stick to what they declare. The several departments of Howard University are to be investigated. I would like to know who authorized these public meetings, asking for reduction of Southern representation. I have read to expression from the negro press of the South. It seems to me that the Southern voter knows what he wants more so than the northern negro who is expanding his lungs. Let me hear from the southern negro press. The representative citizens of Washington don't approve of the cowardly attack that is being made on Prof. W. T. Vernon by a few Kansas politicians. A Bee representative in conversation with Justice Robert H. Terrell said that he would like to see Mr. Vernon confirmed. Recorder of Deeds, J. C. Dancy, also spoke of Mr. Vernon in the highest terms. There are many other representative citizens who are anxious to see him confirmed. cient support, cannot bring home to the great mass of the men and wqmen of your race the knowledge of the current events affecting their vital interests. Your churches cannot or do not adequately reach them. The great leader of your race has not yet manifested himself. He will come forth as soon as logical and feasible plan of union is devised and put into practical and successful operation. My advice is that an association be formed (perhaps with a simple and patriotic form of initiation), national in its scope, embracing both colored men and women in the membership, combining beneficial and social features, and if deemed expedient, adding literary or educational bureaus and subdivisions, specially charged with the consideration and formulation of plans for the preservation, education and advancement of the race and for the enlistment of public opinion through the agency of the press and the pulpit in aid of your protection and progress as American citizens. It could assist the law-makers of the several States, particularly in those wherein the lynching crimes prevail, in the enactment of laws providing for special terms of court, efficient prosecuting attorneys, fearless and upright judges, speedy trials of persons accused of the crime of rape, or of assault with intent to commit such offense and with the sentence of the death penalty upon conviction, together with appropriate and speedy punishment for every species of crime. I take it that no citizen of your race desires that any colored person accused of crime, if found guilty by a lawful tribunal should escape full and condign punishment at the hands of the luly authorized ministers of the law If such an association could be devised and put into successful operation a cheap and simple means should also be provided for recognizing every member of the association at a glance and for quickly communicating also to every colored man and woman any and all fact affecting the welfare of your race—suc facts for instance as the dreadful and demoniacal outrages lately perpetrate Ohio and Louisiana—facts which while known to newspaper readers, are not and will not be known to the major part of your race, or if known will be viewed with unconcern by many colored persons who foolishly think that they themselves dwell in safety from mob violence and brutality, and who will say as Cadin did, when they are asked to help the common cause, "Am I my brother's keeper?" Shortly summed up, my advice to you and your people is to get together, all of you, speedily, wisely, peacefully in a bond of national, beneficial and fraternal union; always ready and willing to perform all your duties as good citizens; realizing that in such a union here is strength, self-preservation, race elevation with obedience to and reverence for the law; and remembering always that you are strong-enough by your votes, when you act and vote together, to secure all the rights and privileges due to you as citizens of the republic. Mark and regard every colored voter who sells his vote as an outcast, vagabond and pariah with whom no decent colored person should affiliate. Subscribe to and promote the circulation of newspapers and magazines, especially those edited and managed by men and women of your race. Put your trust in the American people whose sense of justice and fair dealing will, sooner or later, bring about he punishment of lynchers and the eradication of mob violence. Especially will the American act and legislate for your protection when they consider that the lynching habit, if not eradicated like a contagious pestilence, will spread to and attack all sorts and conditions of men, white as well as black; and when they consider also that a government which does not and will not try to protect its citizens in their legal and constitutional rights is not a government of the people, for the people and by the people. And never forget that your best friend is that righteous Judge, strong and patient, who preserveth them that are true of heart—that Almighty Father who maketh inquisition for blood and who forgetteth not the complaint of the poor. Yours for justice an dhumanity John H. Stotsenburg. COL. WATERS. Col. Phil. Waters, of West Virginia, will be in the city next week on a visit. Since the last visit Col. Waters made to the city he returned home and organized the Golden Order of Jonadades. He is now one of the leading orators in the organizations and class leader in the Methodist Church. It is also said that Col. Waters will be one of the principal speakers in the coming Christian Congress. What I Saw = And Heard Fairplay. PROF. W. T. VERNON.

Columbus, O., March 22—A roller skating rink to cost $8,000 is to be erected in this city for the accommodation of colored patrons. The plans are all ready, and the building will be started in a few days the contractors promising to rush it through to completion within a month. It will be so arranged that sides and back can be opened in summer time, making a splendid dancing pavilion. The floor, and all arrangements will be unsurpassed by any white rink in this section. The building will be 200 feet long and 90 feet wide, giving a floor space of 18,000 square feet. The interested party is Ralph W. Tyler, and he will personally manage the affair. Colored people are delighted over the news. It is also contemplate to add a billard and bowling alley department, but this will not reduce the floor space for skating. This section has got the roller skating craze badly, and it is the opinion of all that this rink will prove a gold mine, in addition to being the means of furnishing colored young men and women a handsome and delightful place of amusement. --- INTER-COLLEGE DEBATE Howard University versus Virginia Union University of Richmond. Subject: Resolved that Industrial Combinations known as Trusts are Detrimental to the Best Interests of the Working Classes. In Andrew Runkin Chapel, Monday night, April 2, 8 o'clock. GRADUATE OF WAYLAND GRADUATE OF WAYLAND. Prof. Charles G. Harris, of whom The Bee spoke last week as having lead in the recent musical school examination, is a graduate of Wayland Seminary. This fact The Bee omitted! Prof. Harris is also a refined and accomplished musical director, who bids fair to lead in the musical world. The Washington correspondent, Mr. Willis T. Menard, of the Florida Sentinel, in writing to his paper says some very truthful things concerning would-be leaders of the negroes. A few days ago a negro representative had his subscription to The Bee cancelled because The Bee stated that his railroad fare had been paid by another to a certain point in New York. If you discontinue puffing the negro, as the correspondent states, your paper will be discontinued. Below is what Mr. Menard has to say concerning beats: Washington City is the storm-centre of negro newspaper "beats." If the average negrd aspires to an office of any kind he expects the colored newspaper publisher (should he be upon terms of the slightest intimacy) to champion his cause gratis, and ever load down the columns of his paper with rubbish that is of no earthly interest to any one save himself. Should this negro candidate or would-be race leader dive down into his pocket for the space consumed by his letter, speech or "puff," he at once feels that he owns the editor or publisher, and that henceforth no contribution contrary to his view nor space allotted opposition candidates should be considered by the aforesaid negro editor or publisher. Some of these negro newspaper "deadbeats" will revel in a column article of exaggerated praise for themselves, but are ready to cancel their subscription should an issue of the same paper contain a six-line complimentary notice of a rival or adversary. Washington City is a veritable graveyard of negro newspapers, the only notable exception being The Washington Bee, whose veteran editor and publisher, Col. W. Calvin Chase is "onto" the "beats and windbags" of the National Capital and compels them to pay cash for space in his paper, especially for useless speeches and "whitewashed" personal notices. All honest advertisers pay cash for space in newspapers, and our so-called race leaders and perpetual candidates for office should be made to pay for space consumed in exploiting their alleged virtues and greatness. The negro editor and publisher cannot exist on "hot air" or promises. I have been connected with negro journalism for over twenty years, both in Florida and Washington City, and I write from experience, not theory, regarding negro newspaper "deadbeats." The average negro publisher and editor receives more substantial support from a "Mrs. John Smith is on the sick list" local item, than he does of an editorial mention or extended notice of the speech of the "Hon. J. Skinflint Bellows." Our people should give their race newspapers substantial support and in return therefor our negro editors and publishers will give them first-class editorials, correspondence and local happenings.

SPURS WORN BY PUTNAM. Belic of Farfous Revolutionary Gen- eral in Possession of a Mas- sachusetts Man. Boston.—Among the choicest revo- lutionary relics in the country are the spurs worn by Israel Putnam whea, according to the story, he dashed dowa the steps at Horse Neck, pursued by the British. In the winter of 1778, as the narra- tive runs, Gen. Putnam was delegated to visit Horse Neck, Conn., now called 7 \ s 5 re HY K ages” ONE OF THE SPURS. Greenwich, The British géneral, Try- on, bad been ravaging towns dad vil- lages along the sound, and at Jength, 1,500 strong, descended upon Putnam with his little force of 150 men and two {ron pieces. Putnam drew up his men, with thelr field pleces, on high ground near the meeting house, where they for a time repulsed the enemy, Provoked and mortified that so insig- nificant a band could keep back his su- Perior numbers, Gen. Tryon ordered 4 party of horsemen to charge the Amer- cans, Putnam directed his men to « swamp, saying? “Run, my lada, I will take care of myself?" Waiting until the British swords almost reached him, he struck apurs to his horse and, to the amazement of the pursuers, dased down the 75 or 100 stone steps leading from the meeting house. No ane daret follow him. Uninjured, though a balt had pierced his hat, Putnam rode to Stamford. The spurs have come down through the descendants of Putnam. They ate of brass, very heavy und old-fash- foned. They are now in the possession of a Westfleld, Mass., man. HAS COLOSSAL HORNS. Bouth African Cow Whose “Antlers” Have Grown to Remark- able Size, London.—When we were young we were most of us supplied with Infor- mation, more or lesa accurate, about a cow which had a crumpled horn. The horus of the cow In the accompanying picture are not crumpled, but they are exceptionally large and fine. It lives on a farm eight miles from Johannesburg, and {s an excellent type of the South African cross-bred beast.

At the root they were as large as a man’s leg. Oxen are almost as useful in South Africa as horses are to us here in Eng- land. It will be remembered that. dur- ing the late war in the Transvaal, the 47 inch naval guns were drawn by large teams of oxen, and earned for this reason the nickname of “cow- guns” among the troops.

RECORD QF IMPORTS INTO THE UNITED STATES, Value in 1905 Reached $1,179,000,- 000 Against $635,000,000 in 1898—Raw Silk Increased ‘by 100 Per Cent, | Washington.—The imports into the United States have practically doubled in value in the last seven years, ac- cording to a bulletin issued by the bureau of statistics of the department of comtaerce and labor. In the calendar year 1905 the im- ports aggregated in value $1,179,000,- 000, as against $635,000,000 In the cal- endar year 1898. The figures of 1898 included merchandise from Porto Rico and Hawall, now customs dis- tricts of che United States. If, the bul- Tetin says, the value of the mer- chandise brought from these islands in 1905 be added to the bureau's state- ment of imports from foreign coun- tries, the grand total for 1905 would de $1,234,000,000, The increase in importations is ats- tributed through all classes and prac- tleally ali articles of merchandise. Food stuffs increased $84,000,000, gain of 45 per cent.; manufactures in- ‘creased $81,000,000, or 77 per cent; luxaries increased $76,000,000, or 90 per ceat. and manufacturers’ mate- rials increased $303,000,000, or 117 per cent.

Although Kan-Ichi Asakawa Is Only 35, He Has Already Made Himself, Known in College Circles—In Unassuming. New Haven, Conn.—Kan-ichi Asakawa, the first Japanese to become a member of the Yale faculty, has already made a name for himself as a writer of history, although he is only 35 and has been predicted that he will become the first scientific historian on the Japanese empire. He came to this city to take up post graduate work for his degree of doctor with bachelor in 1899. He has received the degree of bachelor of literature from Patterson college in the preceding year, having studied there three years. While at Yale he was one of the most indefatigable students ever involved in the graduate school. He cared little for the society even of his own countrymen, and for three years was a solitary figure in the Japanese colony. The professors under whom he studied soon began to regard him as a prodigy. His thesis for his master's degree was pronounced a totally scientific treatise on a period of early Japanese history about which little except legendary stories was known. It was a volume of about 200 words and was published soon afterward under the title "The Early Institutional Life of Japan." Dartmouth, as soon as he received his degree at Yale, called him to her tenure and for three years he was an instructor there on the history and civilization of eastern Asia. For several years Yale has been planning to make her department of Aslatic history the strongest in the country. As soon as it was possible to do so an offer was made to Mr. Asakawa to assist in the work. The result was that he left for Japan a short time ago with funds from the university with which he is to collect a library of Japanese works that will strengthen his department, so that when he takes up his line of teaching next fall Yale will have the finest library of Japanese historical works in the world, one hardly equaled at the University of Tokyo. With these books as a working basis Mr. Asakawa has decided to devote the rest of his life to study and teaching in America rather than in his own country. Personally the new Oriental member of the Yale faculty is unassuming. He has the polished manners that have characterized the Japanese who have been students here. LIVED IN AN INDIAN CAMP. London — The details of a little drama of the sea have reached Newport, Monmouth. Leaving Newport in February, 1905, the sailing ship King David was wrecked on the west coast of Vancouver. All board got safely ashore and lived there for three weeks in an abandoned Indian fishing camp on the beach. Nightly theyighted big driftwood fires in a van encaser to attract attention and a December 21, ignorant that they were within three leagues of Nootka, where there was abundant succor, it was determined to send by boat to Cape Beale to move away, for assistance. Volunteers were called for and A. W. Wollaston, Sprung Creek, New Zealand; John Rogers, Liverpool; H. G. Ray, Newport, Evan Jones, Carnarvon; Martin Pollevens, Norway; J. Poda, Denmark, and P. Sorrenson, Denmark, were selected out of eight volunteers. Two days after the boat left a terrific gale and there is little doubt that the boat went down. Three weeks went by and the remainder of the crew still lived in the old Indian huts. They now had a madman as their companion, for an aged salt-marsh this reason. They were rescued by a British steamer. CABBIE POSES AS CLUBMAN "Night Hawk" Lives Easy for Month in Guse of Swell—Dream Is Shattered. Philadelphia -- One month of high life under the name of John L. Conaway, the nose wrist and club man, landed Fred Archer, an ambitious, romantic hardman in the county prison. That name points to browsing about seaside resorts or receptions at country clubs, of trips to New York, will result, more- over in cost for $10,000 damages against the Colonial Trust company at Twenty-fifth and Chestnut streets. Baker received upon the stand in the criminal court he had a very good time while he was the name of the man whom society knew as "Dashing Jack" Conaway was explaining how he had been with the simple tastes of a been to spend $350 in one month. The man was trying, incidentally, to attend at August Derrickson, who further lent a large livery stable at 25 Twentieth street, of the charge Organ Will Cost 850,000 An instrument which is designed to be one of the most powerful in the world has been played by the authorities of the general of St. John the Divine It is to cost $50,000, and is constructed with funds conserved Mr. and Mrs. Levl P. Morrison The instrument will be built in Boston . . Ravenna, O.—For a twofold reason that they mistrusted banking institutions and that they did not need the money, the Misses Adela and Lucy Clapp sent $6,000 to a cousin in Oregon, shipping it by unregistered mall in a tin box, with chestnuts for packing. This tale of rare generosity and postal fidelity was told in court by the spinster ladies themselves, and was corroborated by the cousin. Their appearance was caused by a suit, brought against the sisters by the county, for $1,000, alleged to be due in back taxes on $5,900, which the sisters received from the sale of land several years ago. The sisters testified that when the land was sold they debated the matter, and, deciding that so much money was really an inconvenience, packed it in a tin box with chestnuts and sent the whole thing by mail to their cousin, Mrs. Rose Brown, 4,000 miles away, in Oregon. "We didn't want to keep the money in our own home for fear of burglar's, said Miss Adella, and we have no faith in banks. So many of them go to smash these days. Then we thought of Rose, and we knew she could use the money to much better advantage than we, for she is married. If we kept it and spent it the whole amount would have gone simply for luxuries we don't need, and are probably better without. So we sent Rose the money." Mrs. Rose Brown, the cousin, also testified and (triumphantly) produced the very tin box in which the money was sent, corroborating entirely the statement of the sisters. The cheek-nuts were not produced. The sisters won the suit, for the jury found the county had no cause for action. BRAIN OF BURCILAR-ARTIST. Beformed Crook, Who Willed Part of Anatomy to Institute, May Prove Benefactor. Philadelphia.—Scientists at the Wister institute of the University of Pennsylvania, formed for biological research, have found that the brain of Edward Dunlap, burglar-artist, as its owner believed in life, is remarkable. Dunlap who, after a life of successful crime, died at Jefferson hospital a reformed crook, willed his brain to the Wister institute for microscopic and comparative study. He held certain curious ideas upon crime which he embodied in his biography. One of these was that there existed, perhaps, a germ of crime. In any event, he said, he was certain his brain would be found to be unusual, and the study of it might enable science to suggest a way to combat criminal instincts in other men. "Dunlap's brain in many respects is the most remarkable specimen we ever have had here to examine," said Dr. Milton J. Greenman, who is in charge of the institute. "In no other brain we ever have seen have the fissures been so wide, deep and strangely marked. What does this mean? I cannot say. It may mean nothing. It may be full of meaning. If the same strange marking in Dunlap's brain should appear in others of criminals the matter would become of even more interest." In Dunlap's autobiography, speaking of his intention of leaving his brain to science, he said: "And so perhaps I, who all my life have been an enemy to society, may, through my death, prove its benefactor." HE UNJOINTED HIS NECK. Man Lifted Sack of Potatoes and Head Fell Back—Doctor Bemedies It Santa Rosa, Cal.—Eugene Hunt, a young man employed at the store of Fred T. Duhring at Sonoma, met with a peculiar accident recently while lifting a sack of potatoes. He intended to place the sack on his shoulder and carry it to the delivery wagon, and in its upward movement Hunt struck himself under the chin with the heavy vegetables. His head flew back, and the young man declares he distinctly heard something in the back of his neck crack. His head refused to remain in an upright position, and he replaced the member with his hands. Still it fell backward and rolled around, and the youth was greatly alarmed. He hasasted to the office of a physician, who replaced a joint in the young man's neck and then placed his neck in a plaster of Paris cast. No examination was made at the time to determine the exact cause of the injury, and it may have been that the neck was unjointed or that a vertebra was displaced. Hunt is feeling all right again, and it is believed he will suffer no ill effects from the accident. Floral Map of Wedding. A map of the floral arrangements at the Longworth-Roosevelt wedding, showing the disposition of the decorations and the kind of flowers used, has been made by the superintendent of public buildings in Washington. It has long been a custom to keep an official record of events at the White House and in every instance back to the Van Buren administration a map has been made.

Change in Uncle William Driskill, of Princeton, Mo.-Eyesight Returning, Cutting Molars, New Hair Growing. Princeton, Mo.—A case that is attracting attention just now is that of Uncle William Driskill, of this city, who, in spite of his 94 years of life on this sphere, seems to be getting young and has a new lease of life. He is cutting a new set of teeth, black hair is coming in to supplant the silvery locks and cover he bald spots on his head; he is regaining the sight of his eyes, and he is getting as spry as a man 40 years his junior. Mr. Driskill has always been a man of robust constitution and has had his share of outdoor work. To this, with his temperate habits, he attributes his long life. If he survives—and there seems to be no reason why he should not—he will be 24 years old in June. This change began to come over him several months ago. For a few years previous to that time he had been a little feeble, and had suffered considerably from rheumatism. That trouble is all gone now. He has been blind in one eye for 67 years. The sight of that eye is coming back and he can see reasonably well with it. With all this, his teeth and new hair, he is now almost a new man. Mr. Driskill's faithful wife is also living. She is 77 years old and is in reasonably good health. They have been married 67 years. The old couple make their home with their son, James Driskill, and wife in the southern part of town. An amusing incident occurred when the black hair, first began to appear on "Uncle Billy's" head. His son and wife noticed it and thought his head dirty. Mrs. Driskill procured soap and water and tried to wash it off, but it failed to come. An investigation showed the black spots to be hair—and it is still getting bluer. FERRETS TO STRING WIRES Once Considered a Joke, But Now Plan Is to Be Put to Use—Test Has Been Made. Peru, Ind.-The use of ferrets to string the wires in conduits has been a joke for years with the men in charge of the construction work of the Bell Telephone company, but Superintendent of Construction Cline, who is in Terre Haute now, where many miles of conduits are being laid, to be used jointly by the Bell and the elegraph companies, says: "As with a good many other simple methods, we refused to try ferrets because it sounded like a good newspaper story and was impracticable. "But a test has been made, and we know it is the best way to put the lead wire through the ducts. A sort of harness was put on the little animal and attached to it was a strut but light fish line. At the next opening of the duct a piece of meat was hung, and the animal tugged away at his cable of fish line to get to the meat. We also tried letting the ferret chase a rat through the duct and catching the rat in a sack at the other end of the duct. This worked like a charm." IN TEACHING THE BLIND. The Use of Phonographic Records Be- commended by Philadelphia Philadelphia—Dr. George M. Gould, of this city, proposes that a recently invented device, amounting to an improved talking machine, shall be used for the better instruction of the blind, to the exclusion of Braille and all other forms of raised letters. Dr. Gould is a leading ophthalmologist. In a paper written for scientific study, he discusses the telegraphone, invented by Mr. Poulsen, a Danish engineer, and pronounces it ideal for the instruction of those who can hear but cannot see. The telegraphone is really a form of phonograph, being designed primarily to record telephone messages in the absence of the person for whom they are intended. The records thus made can be used over and over again. In many respects the idea of Dr. Gould is merely an extension of a practice already in vogue, for photographs are now used for certain Minds of instruction, as well as for entertainment. Motor Skating in Paris What is known as motor skating is becoming popular in Paris among those who have the wherewithal to purchase motor skates. These skates, each of four rubber-tired wheels, and fashioned like miniature automobiles, have a locomotive force of one and one-half horsepower, the current being conveyed to the motors from a reservoir in a belt worn around the skater's waist. The skates are about ten inches high and mounted on them one may easily attain high speed on asphalt pavements. Locomotion is gathered from initiative propulsion, and the skates may be stopped by the application of a rod held in the hand. Will Wed Man She Never Saw. Miss Emma Kaiser, of Hamilton, O., has gone to St. Louis to marry Michael Germaine, a man whose picture she has carried for months, but whom she had never seen. They got acquainted through a personal advertisement in a newspaper, and have been in correspondence. When Miss Kaiser received a ticket to St. Louis and money for her expenses she immediately started for that city. Colorado Springs, Col.-By photographing the "astral" finger of a man who had lost that member in an accident several months ago A. K. Cutting, of 428 Colorado avenue, Colorado City, who dabbles in photography and occult science, believes he has proved scientifically the theory of the ancient Persian philosopher, Zoroaster, that man has a dual or astral body. Cutting called Joseph Murphy, a brakeman, formerly of Quincy, Ill., but now a resident of Colorado City, into his office for the purpose of proving his discovery. A few months ago Murphy lost the forefinger of his right hand in an accident at Quincy. The men went into a dark room and Cutting asked Murphy to place his imaginary finger upon a highly sensitized plate. After a few minutes the plate was developed, revealing the clear outlines of the missing finger. Although fairly overwhelmed by his discovery, Cutting feels sure of his ground. He believes that he has proved beyond doubt the theory of theosophists, that man has a dual body existing in some sort of fluid form, which becomes a counterpart of man when released by the death of the body. Cutting made his first experiment when he reproduced a picture of his dead father on a photographic plate by simply holding the plate to his forehead and concentrating his thoughts on his father. RETURNS 64 YEARS LATER Pastor Moved to Repeat Sermon Delivered at That Time—Two of Congregation Present. Cleveland, O.—After the pulpit had been filled in turn by 13 successors, covering more than 60 years, Rev. Lathrop Cooley again ascended to the pulpit at Franklin Circle Church of Christ and delivered the same sermon that he preached there 64 years ago. It was an impressive service. There was plainly a feeling of awe over the consideration of the vast lapse of years, which, nevertheless, nave lef Rev. Cooley still well preserved and with all of the virility that marked his sermons three score years ago still strongly in evidence. Of the large congregation that heard his sermon in 1842 only two persons were present—Mrs. William it. Curtis, of the Glddings Block, and Mrs. Charles Griswold, of No. 12 Jay avenue. Rev. Cooley asked at the opening of his sermon if there were any present who had heard the sermon when it was originally delivered. When the two women referred to arose he apologized for delivering an old sermon. Rev. Cooley is now pastor of a church at Median, O. While here he was the guest of his lifelong friend, Abraham Teachout, of Franklin avenue, west, who is in his nineteen year COST OF LIVING IS HIGHER. While Most Food Products Have Become Cheaper Meats and Butter Have Advanced. New York.—The cost of living is now the highest that it has been in the 30 years during which the Dun Mercantile agency has kept a record. According to these statistics the average of commodity prices proportioned to consumption is $104,204, as compared with $101,929 a year ago. Aside from a general advance in meats, most food products became cheaper, but the general level of prices is higher than on March 1, 1905, despite the fact that foodstuffs have declined about six per cent. Quotations for live stock and provisions have not shown the customary disposition to follow the course of the grain markets, practically every item in the list recording more or less advance, mees pork rising $1.25 per barrel during February and $1.75 since the opening of the year. In fact, the upward tendency in meats has been in progress, with scarcely any interruption, since early last autumn. A moderate decrease occurred in prices of dairy and garden products, the principal differences being lower quotations for milk, eggs, hay and cheese, while butter rose another cent, and vegetables were also alightly higher. WAS WITH JACKSON IN 1815 Los Angeles, Cal.—Daniel Turner, a quartef-blood Cherokee Indian, who ares that he is 100 years of age and the last survivor of the battle of New Orleans in 1815, was examined in this city for a pension. He admits that his services in the battle against the English were not of any great moment. He says that his father was one of Gen. Jackson's soldiers, and that he, then, a boy of tender years, entered the ranks during the progress of the battle and found his father, who severely chastised him for his foolhardiness, but allowed him to fire his rifle at the English. During the civil war Turner was in an artillery regiment that never got into the fighting, being stationed in California and Alaska during the war. Naval Warfare. "Naval warfare," says the Boston Globe, "is always hazardous under the most favorable conditions." Is attacking a Spanish fleet before breakfast not regarded by our contemporary as naval warfare? Chicago. — Chicago's underground freight railroad has begun operations Less than five years ago the actual work of digging the tunnels was commenced by the Illinois Telephone and Telegraph company, now the Illinois Tunnel company. To-day the company has 43 miles of track operated 40 feet below the level of the street. Every street in the down-town district is tunneled, and some streets outside this district. The general public, not having seen the tunnel, has small conception of the stupendous nature of the undertaking or its possibilities. There is nothing like it anywhere. When the tunnel opened for business its capacity was two and a half times greater than the tonnage of Chicago, handle it wagons. In other words, if the tunnel was operated at less than half its capacity it would still be able to haul every bit of freight that passes through Chicago's down-town district. This estimate includes coal as well as merchandise. Before the end of the present year the officials of the tunnel company expect to be hauling one-fifth of the freight and coal now being hauled by wagons. When the tunnel railroad reaches a stage where it handles one-third of the present tonnage it will be doing a business of $20,000,000 a year gross. No definite date has been fixed for the formal opening of the tunnel for freight traffic yet, but the system will be in partial operation before many weeks. Practically the only uefay is in completing the connections into the big down-town buildings. Work on these is progressing rapidly and is finished in a number of instances. BOY GETS TEACHER PERMIT Youth Makes Educational Record Has Average of 98 Per Cent in His Studies. Charlerol, Pa.—Having finished a ten-year's school course in five years, and successfully passed a teacher's examination at the age of 11 years, John Bannister Gibson Roberta holds the unique record of being the youngest person in Pennsylvania, if not in the United States to possess a teacher's diploma. He passed the Washington county teachers' examination with an average of 98 per cent, and received 100 per cent in mathematics. The school record of young Roberts is a most remarkable one. He was born in Pittsburg December 23, 1893, and in January, 1900, entered the lowest grade of the public schools of Charlerol, Pa. He showed remarkable proficiency and took every examination offered for advancement. Early in 1905, at the age of 11 years and three months, he stood the county examination held under County Superintendent Frank R. Hall and passed with an average of 98 per cent. He was the youngest of more than 4,000 who have taken the examination under Superintendent Hall, but surpassed the great majority of them in his grades. TRIED TO BUY HOCH'S BODY Murderer Was Offered $600 to Consent to Exhibition of Self After Death. Alexandria, Ind.-The hanging of Hoch in Chicago has brought to light the source from which he had the promise of money with which to perfect his appeal to higher courts. A saloon keeper of this city offered to furnish Dr. Loder with $500 with which to assist Hoch, the latter in event he was finally hanged to will to the Alexandria man his body for demonstration and exhibition purposes. Negotiations were carried on for a long time. Dr. Loder made a visit to Hoch and found he wanted it all his way and no deal was made. After Dr. Loder returned to this city Hoch again opened communication, but so no avail. The plan was to have a plate glass casket made and Hoch's body thoroughly embalmed and in that form exhibited. The prime object was to demonstrate the "keeping qualities" of a new embalming fluid. Museums would have been included in the itinerary. A Chicago State street museum made the Alexandria physician an offer of $1,000 a week for a three-weeks' exhibition of the dead murderer. Great Gathering of Sparrows. A remarkable flight of sparrows was seen to settle in an orchard at Pinchbeck Weat, near Spalding, England. It was estimated that they must have numbered between 50,000 and 100,001, as every branch in the orchard was loaded with them. Fads of a Society Pet An English society lady has had her pet spankel supplied with a set of false teeth. The dog, in order to make people think they are natural, should now insist on having a muzzle. Sister-in-Law This Time. A New York millionaire says his sister-in-law broke five of his ribs because he didn't want her to live in his house. There really can't be much satisfaction in supporting such a lady. Temple, Artz—James G. Goodwin, of this place, recently discovered an old map of the United States, made in 1858, on which "Arrtizonia" appears. Its boundaries are quite different from those of the present territory of Arizona. It extended from Yuma on the west, to El Paso on the east. The northern boundary was the Gila river, the territory included being the Gadsden purchase. It took in what is now Dona Ana county, N. M., Dona Ana county being, by the way, the previous name of Arizona. Mr. Goodwin had never heard of Arizona territory before its establishment in 1863. He therefore wondered how a map made in 1853 could have been shown. He went to Phoenix in see if he could throw any light on the master. He found in Bancroft's history that in his message to congress early in 1857, President Buchanan recommended the formation of a separate territory out of the Gadsden purchase, and that late in the same month Senator Gwin of California introduced a bill to organize such a government. The legislature of New Mexico, in February, 1858, passed a resolution favoring the measure, though recommending a north and south boundary line on the one hundred and ninth meridian, and also the removal of all the New Mexico Indians to northern Arizona. The residents of the territory proposed to be included in the new territory anticipated the passage of the Gwin bill and held an election in Tucson, at which Sylvester Mowry was elected delegate to congress. The mapmakers evidently anticipated the passage of the bill. FIRST "HOOKS AND EYES." Woman Who Made Them in Massachusetts 93 Years Old—Taught School. Stow, Mass.—The first person in the United States to manufacture hooks and eyes for garments, and also the first to work upon wedding and invitation cards, Mrs. Harriet E. Kennedy, celebrated her ninety-third birthday. She is a native of Charlestown and the daughter of an office of the frigate Constitution. Early in life she taught school, after which she began the manufacture of children's fancy shoes and iron watch chains. "I was working for a man named Hatch," said Mrs. Kennedy, "and during my spare time labored on, a ball dress upon which there were some hooks and eyes made in France. I obtained a piece of wire and succeeded in making them as good as the imported article. The next day when Mr. Hatch came in I told him I could manufacture the hooks and eyes fully as well as those coming from France. "The devil you can!" he said. "I made some for him, and he had a machine made to manufacture them. He was soon employing a large roomful of girls, and made money fast, while I, who had discovered the secret, was placed in charge of the room and given the princely salary of seven dollars a week." KEPT FROM CHURCH BY LAW West Virginian and Wife Brestrained From Attending Service by an Injunction. Parkersburg, W. Va.—Judge Goes has issued an injunction prohibiting H. Wilson and Mary Wilson, his wife, from going to church. They are charged with disturbing religious services at the Pleasant Home Baptist church and the injunction prohibits them from going on the church property. The ground upon which Judge Goes enjoined the Wilons from going to church was that they not only failed to show the proper respect for the house of God but went so far as to assert that it was not God's house, but their own claiming that the Pleasant Home church was built on their property. They threatened to destroy the edifice and, it is charged, interrupted public worship on several occasions with their threats. They then fenced the lot in to prevent the further use of the church and the church trustees applied to the courts. Ice Thirty Cents Ton. W. H. Eaton, a farmer living near Emerson, Ia., is making ice at a cost of 30 cents a ton. Eaton has built 200 tanks of galvanized iron, a foot deep, two feet wide and three feet long. These tanks are filled with water every time the weather man nounces a cold snap, are set outside and the next morning Eaton has one of his tea houses filled with the frozen ice imaginable. The tanks are made in such a way that they can be separated from the ice cake by the use of a little heated water. This winter Eaton has been storing his 20,000 tons of ice almost every night. The other leamen are worried. Vine Grows Through Oak A large cak tree near Chandler, Mo. has a live grape vine growing through the solid trunk. The swaying of the tree and vine has kept a loose hole worn through the live tree. The grapevine is more than an inch in diameter and reaches the top branch of the tree and bears ludious fruit. Once a Gas Fitter. It has been discovered that George Glissing, the celebrated English novelist who did not long ago, once worked in America as a gas fitter. Evidently he didn't go into literature merely to make money. What will the United States Supreme Court do now? Will that august body permit those bloodhounds to go unpunished? When a lynching mob defies the highest judicial tribunal in the country is it not time for our lawmakers to investigate whether there is any force to or any virtue in our constitution? Would England permit mob law to rule? Would any country but the United States permit the mandates of the courts to be repudiated by a mob? The recent Chattanooga, Tennessee, mob that broke open the jail doors and mobbed a prisoner in the face of a stay of execution by the Supreme Court of the United States is no doubt one of the greatest crimes in the annals of crimes. What action, if any, will the court take? What will the people abroad think and say? The poor negro is the victim of abuse and discrimination. He deserves the sympathy and protection of this government. All colored men are not villains. Many of them, if not three-fourths, respect and obey the laws which govern them. Below is the dispatch from Cattanooga. This tells the whole story: Chattanooga, Tenn., March 19. Ed. Johnson, colored, was taken from the jail at 10.45 by a mob of seventy-five men and hanged to a beam of the county bridge over the Tennessee River. The rope broke, and the negro's body fell, the mob quickly riddling him with bullets. Sheriff Shipp and the jailer were locked in a bathroom while the mob secured the prisoner. The negro was to have been hanged tomorrow for criminal assault, but the United States Supreme Court today granted a stay of execution, and this action served to anger the citizens of the city, and all day there was great excitement and it was freely talked on the street that violence would result tonight. Early in the evening the mob began to form, and it was all done so quietly that only those in the immediate vicinity of the jail knew when they were ready for action. At 10.45 seventy-five determined men assembled at the jail and at once gained admission. Overpowering the sheriff and his deputies, they secured the prisoner and quietly led him to the bridge, where the hanging was out in the most orderly manner, the immediately dispersing. There was not the slightest attempt at rowdyism, and the mob was composed of men of mature years. The negro is said to have confessed when first taken by the mob, but when the rope was placed about his neck he stoutly maintained his innocence. It is declared that the victim was dead of strangulation before the rope broke, but the mob, to make sure of him, filled his body with bullets. The city was as quiet at the hour of the hanging and afterwards as though nothing unusual had occurred. THE JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION. Ther are a few colored men asking the colored people to take part in the Jamestown Exposition. For what? This Exposition is to be held in the hotbed of "Jim. Crowism" and prejudice, where the colored people will receive no more recognition than they would in the Mississippi Legislature or at the dinner table of. Vardaman. The colored people in this county have no business to indorse the Jamestown Exposition, nor should they be foolish enough to subscribe one dollar for its benefit. This is a white man's Exposition pure and simple and if the colored people get anything at all it will be after the white folks have cleaned up everything of note. The colored people will not be permitted to ride upon the cars except in the rear and if the rear is crowded they must walk to and from the Exposition. The only inducement that can be offered to induce the colored people to subscribe and take part is for the Virginia Legislature to repeal its Jim Crow car and other discriminating acts that affect them. The time is at hand for the colored man to act and to think for himself. He must act for himself and do that which he believes to be right and proper. Yes, The Bee is well aware that this city is filled with shams. Sham churches, doctors, lawyers, preachers and all other kinds of sham. The most dangerous sham in this city is Editor Davis, the social sham. Any old jail bird can come to Washington and lead the social element. It is only necessary for him to be a laborer in the department of a medicine or law school. At once he is admitted into the social circle and before six months he declares that many of our ladies are indecent. It is this class of shams that ruins the society in this city. If the medical student is met out at entertainment, he is introduced as D. B. or Dr. S. D. D., when in fact he is only a sham, otherwise known as our Dawn Doctor who practices after office hours. Many young women have married them to their sorrow; many of them who were drawing handsome salaries in the public schools are now pressing clothing for Miss Anne. Now, if Editor Davis will only keep his shams at home and other States will do likewise, Washington will be a great city. The shams of Washington are from other States. The native Washingtonian has been crowded out by these shams. In many instances the females are to blame. One would suppose that those who have not been fooled would take lessons from those who have fallen victims to treachery and duplicity. MUST BE DIVIDED? The Republican party of to-day is not in need of the colored vote. The question that is now being considered by the colored voter is whether it is any use to remain longer in the Republican party, or shall he go to the Democratic party. The Republican and Democratic parties have united against the negro and this cannot be denied. There are as many Republicans today as much opposed to the colored man as there are Democrats. The government departments show that. Under this administration there is not a department that hasn't a "Jim Crow" corner for the negro clerk except the few bleached negroes who are endeavoring to hide their identity. It is amusing to see this class of negroes endeavoring to get away from the Republican party and himself. There is no longer any fight for human rights. The Republican party is cutting loose from the negro and the Democratic party tells him that he must take a back seat because this is a white man's government. If this is a white man's government, the negro soldier helped to protect it while the enemies of the republic are now being treated with respect and consideration. The enemies are being protected and consoled and begged to be obedient to the laws. The friends of the republic have been disfranchised by the enemies of the republic and protected in their civil and political rights. What is to become of the colored man? Must the colored voter be subservient to the intrigues, butcheries and demagogy of men who endeavored to destroy the Union? Let the colored voter look out for his own interest and look to those who will protect him, be he a Democrat, Greenbacker, Socialist, Nihilist, Catholic or any other denomination or nationality. Let the colored voter think for himself. OUR DUTY. people in this city to be doing something substantial? The local business league is endeavoring to do something in a small way and yet there is a great deal for the league to do yet. The league should be a close compact. Meetings should be held weekly instead of monthly and instead of a literary program discuss questions and methods of conducting business. Instead of a collation, loading the stomach with lemonade and other liquid refreshments which generally cause a swell head, discuss unity of action and establish a feeling of good fellowship among the business fraternities in this city. It is not necessary to draw the color line. There are hundreds of white firms in this city that are friendly towards the colored business houses and their patrons. Let the colored patrons and business houses conducted by colored people be liberal or as liberal as those white firms are towards the colored people. Let us do something. It is about time for the colored people to shoulder their own responsibilities and show to the world that they are industrious and self-reliant MR. VERNON. It is indeed gratifying to The Bee to see that its position in relation to Prof. W. T. Vernon is being indorsed by the entire country. Mr. Vernon is a victim of prejudice and the chicanery of disappointed politicians. President Roosevelt deemed it necessary to recognize the West in the appointment of Mr. Vernon and no better selection could have been made. The Bee is in receipt of about a hundred letters from, representative colored men in the West indorsing Professor Vernon and requesting the Senate to confirm him. The Bee believes that he will be confirmed because there are no just grounds not to confirm him. The Bee next week will contain a fine cut of Mr. and Mrs. Vernon. Mrs. Vernon is one of the most accomplished ladies in the West. She formerly attended Howard University. Since it was the intention of the President to recognize the West no better appointment could be made and the country is anxious to have him confirmed. MR. OSCAR L RICKETTS MR. OSCAR J. RICKETTS. The retirement of Mr. Oscar J. Ricketts from the foremanship of the Government Printing Office takes from that great institution the printer's friend irrespective of color or condition. He is one of the old school Republicans, on the order of Lincoln. He hails from the State of Illionis, where Republicans are born and not made. The press report shows that one man shook his hand when he left. It was a shake of friendship and love. The colored printers especially will miss him. He was their friend. He knew no man by the color of his skin, but merit always won with him. He recognized merit in any man. Mr. Ricketts is a young man who has a large circle of friends and they will see to it that love, honor and gratitude shall be the paths over which his life is to travel. The Bee extends to this stalwart of stalwarts and the noblest Roman of them all its gratitude and appreciation and wishes him everlasting success through life. SHAMS The Washington Bee is after the "Shams." Well, Brother Chase, you have a fertile field in which to operate. There are more shams to the square mile in Washington than any city in the Union. The Capital abounds in long coat, tin horn "fessors," "kunnels," "generals" and sundown lawyers and doctors. The article in the Bee is so excellent and hits the nail so pulpup upon the head in our city, that we publish it largely this week or this page. We commend the article to our readers. If any people were ever sorely afflicted with sham preachers, leaders and pretenders it is the negro race. THE BEEWOULELIKETOKNOW Will a home for young girls be established? When will the colored Masonries unite? GOOD LAUGHS. During the afternoon of the Century Club's entertainment, Charlotte Lund, who also contributed several good laughs in her extemporaneous talk and musical transcriptions, added a "new one" to the vast number of jokes on Philadelphia's slowness. In transcribing the well-known song, "A Hot Time in Old Town," into other rhythms and tempos for laugh making purposes, she played it for one illustration in a most lugubrious manner, with minor chords and in slowest time possible. Some one in the audience close to the entertainer said to her neighbor: "That must be to illustrate a funeral March." "No," said Miss Lund quickly, hap- pening to overhear the remark. "that's a Philadelphia two-step." BEE ITEMS ON THE WING. Mrs. Hawkins Turner, of 210 D st. S. W., is sick at her residence. Spain has 6,000 titled persons, about one to every thirty-eight. Gravesend Brooklyn Jockey Club, May 21 to May 26; June 7 to June 20th; September 17 to September 29th. Jack Johnson, colored heavy weight champion, pounded Jos.

The Marquis of Iroso, former librarian at the Vatican, Rome, Italy, has abandoned his title to become plain Mr. E. V. Pescia, American citizen. The Universal Postal Congress will assemble at Rome April 6th. The countries of the world will be represented. Last week we ran across an old friend, J. O. Holmes. Brother Holmes will ride behind good horseflesh, he being a good judge of the same. Corporal Tanner, Commander-in-Chief G. A.

The funeral of Miss Susan B. Anthony was largely attended from the Central Presbyterian Church of Rochester, N. W., on the 14th. Many prominent people were in attendance. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, of New York, succeeds Miss Anthony as president of the National Suffrange Association. Dr. Seth C. Maker, of Seattle, has broken the record for typewriting, he writing 197 words a minute. The biggest book in the world has been found at the British Museum. It is an atlas and is 5 feet in height, 10 inches; and 4 feet 8 inches wide. This book was presented to King Charles II in 1660. Special Steward's Rally was held at St. Paul's, M. E. Church, 8th street. S. W. Trustee Brother Hawkins requesting that the members be present at the church Monday night to attend Lenten service. During the 19th century upwards of 14,000,000 men lost their lives in war. There are some people here in the District that have no more consideration for their fellow-men than they would have for an animal, but as we sow, we reap. Every Course of Elaborate Dinner Is Prepared in Order from Test Tubes—No "Pure" Food 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 use me if 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 sweetanin, 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 fade 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 plarmigan 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, tartre, 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 done 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. Rare Work of Art Found. While workmen were engaged in renovating the Church of Santa Maria Gloriosa del Frairil at Venice, some ancient frescoes were disclosed behind 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. Pipestem Through Tongue George Hollowell, a kiln hand in the Oliver china works at Sebring, O. while smoking a pipe was playful; indulging in a boxing match with a fellow employee. 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 tacerated. GOVERNMENT PURCHASES SIRS FOR THE COLONY Five Victims of Awful Disease Will Occupy Quarters on Isle Off Massachusetts Coast—Move to Protect Public Washington.—Leprosy seems to be almost as old as the human race. Egypt is called its cradle, and on papyril found in the tombs of Egypt, this kings descriptions of the disease are given. Indian records show that it has existed in that country for less 3,000 years, and to-day it is found a greater or less extent in all parts of the world, from the tropics to Norway and Sweden. The United States marine hospital commissary reports that there are in the country not far from 1,000 cases. Up to recently however the only special lazaree within the United States was in Louisiana which had about 75 occupants in In the summer of 1905, says the report of the state board of counties of Massachusetts, the state purchases 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, is located about 13 miles south of New Bedford, is to be used as a retreat for those afflicted with leprosy, three 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, with 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 wind storms. Hope is expressed that, for the relief not only of Massachusetts, but of other states concerned, congress will establish a national leper hospital at a distant day. While leprosy is not 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 Test of California Machine Is Usa successful; Aeronaut Narrowly. Escapes Death. Oakland, Cal.—An unsuccessful trial was made by Prof. Montgomery, aeroplane at Idora park, and it almost resulted in serious injury to Darl Wilkle, the aeronaut. At the get-go 1800 feet Prof. Montgomery signaled to descend, but the aeroplane did respond. Suddenly, however, he seen to drop from its support, and a shot went up from the spectator. For a single moment the aeroplane remained on even keel, then we were sharply, and began to fall in short circles. Clanging desperately to the frame work of the airship, Wilkle would be seen making frantic efforts to reg control of the machine, and two seemed that he had succeeded. If a wounded bird the aeroplane swung downward, twice righting itself, or 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 far Willkie owns his life, for when the machine started again toward the ground it had only few feet to fall it struck with force enough to wreck the machine, but the aeronaut escaped with a bad gash on the nose and a number of painful bruises.

RECEPTION TO THE BAR. The commodious and handsome residence of Mr. Thomas L. Jones presented a brilliant appearance last Thursday evening. His residence which is situated at the northeast corner of T street and Vermont avenue, northwest, was the recipient of the members of the local bar and other well known and distinguished guests. The occasion was a reception to the members of the local bar of an informal character. The residence showed to a great advantage by reson of the electric lights and the cut glass chandeliers which gave a brilliant reflection. The guests were received in the library which is east of the reception parlors, to which the invited guests were ushered admist sweet strains of music. The reception of guests continued until nine o'clock after which they repaired to the dining room below, where Caterer E. Murray had set a table in a most artistic style. Against either side of the walls were the words, "Welcome members of the bar," made of white roses and pinks. At the head of the table was seated Mr. Calvin W. Chase, toastmaster. On his right was the host, Mr. Jones, and on the left was Register J. W. Lyons, Justice Robert H. Terrell, Recorder J. C. Dancy, Geo. F. Collins, James A. Cobb, W. L.

At the conclusion of the supper, Mr. Chase, the toastmaster, spoke briefly in a general way, paying high tribute to the host and the bar and moral effect that such a gathering of distinguished members of the bar would have in doing something that will tend to elevate the legal profession. The first toast to which I shall call for a response, said Mr. Chase, will be by one who is young in the profession, but who has a knowledge of the necessity to instil in man good manners. Our first duty there is to our host, to which I request Mr. W. L. Waring to respond. At the conclusion of this address toasts were responded to as follows: Attorney James A. Cobb, "Ethics of the Profession;" Register J. W. Lyons, "Value of Money;" John E. Collins, "Ought we to have a Bar Association?" George F. Collins, "Is there Unity Among Lawyers?" P. W. Frisby, "What Makes a Successful lawyer?" M. T. Clinkscales, "Equity Practice;" L. G. Gregory, "Conflict of Laws;" W. L. Pollard, "The Law as a Profession;" L. M. King, "Insurance;" Robert H. Terrell, "Should we have a Judge of the Supreme Court?" J. C. Dancy, "The Future of the Negro Attorney;" L. M. Hershaw, "Good Pleadings;" W. C. Martin, "Law of Pensions and the Colored Soldier;" Royal Hughes, "Women in the Profession;" J. S. Stewart, "The Duties of a Lawyer;" Fontain Peyton, "Our Guests;" W. A. Gray, "Partenership." This is the first time in the history of the local bar that they have come together and Attorney Jones received the highest commendation by those present. The addresses of those who responded to the several toasts demonstrated their knowledge of law and the duties of the lawyer. Mr. Grègory showed great research in the conflict of law which created much merriment. All branches of the legal profession were discussed. Every phase of the law was carefully considered and the points brought out were beneficial. Mr. Jones' response was timely and pointed the motive that prompted him to tender an informal reception to the bar was actuated by justifiable acts that daily exist and seem to pass the colored atorney by unnoticed. Therefore, he said, if the coming together will tend to remedy the evils that exist, I shall feel that I have done mywhole duty to a people who are struggling for an independence which is tied by a chain of prejudice.

A. and the Civic Club was held at the Asbury Methodist Episcopal Church on Tuesday, Marth 13th, at 8 P. M. In the absence of Dr. Wilder, president of the Civic Club, Mrs. B. G. Francis, president of the C. Y. W. C. A., presided. The president introduced Commissioner McFarland, who, in very commendatory terms presented Mrs. Kellar. Mrs. Kellar gave a vivid account of her work among the employment agencies of the large cities—New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore. This information will be of great benefit to the association in its efforts along the same line through its employment committee. Mrs. Barnett of Alexandria, Va., and Mrs. Gitterman spoke and expressed some good views of the work. Rev. Tunnell also addressed the meeting and said, among other things, that the Civic Club was doing great work. Music was rendered by the choir of St. Mary's Episcopal Church. WILLIAMS AND WALKER COMING The important news of the week in the theatrical world is that Williams and Walker are coming to Washington. Mr. Will Cook has made a special arrangement with Mr. Melville B. Raymon to procure Williams and Walker at the Convention Hall on April 30th. May 1st and 2d, with three performances and a matinee. It has long been Mr. Cook's desire to produce these famous comedians in one of his own comedies, to show his home people how negroes can sing if given an opportunity. "Abyssinia," is the costliest show ever produced by negroes, with a cast of one hundred and fifty people, music by three of the greatest writers, who are cooperating with Mr. Cook. This is the only show that has three directors of music, the first act by Mr. Vaughn, second by Mr. Harry T. Burleigh (this is by special arrangement), and the last and final act conducted by the author, Mr. Will Marion Cook. These comedians are now playing These comedians are now playing in New York to crowded houses. They opened at the Majestic Theatre February 20th and from press reports the new play Abyssinia takes well. Mr. Will Marion Cook, the most noted praywright in the United States, by special arrangements with M. B. Raymond, will present Williams and Walker, two of the greatest negro comedians in the world, in their new play, Abyssinia, at Convention Hall, May first. This will be the only appearance of these two great actors in the South. Mr. Cook, who composed the music for Abyssinia is a Washingtonian and a noted composer. He studied music in Berlin under Jouchin and Duorak, and this latest music has made his most petentious efforts in negro music. Mr. Cook is a favorite in this city and comes from one of the leading and most noted families. Thousands of people who have never seen Williams and Walker will have an opportunity of doing so. Reserved seat tickets will be on sale next week and those who wish to witness this great play should reserve their seats in time. DEATH OF DR. JOHN' N. JOHNSON. The death of Dr. John N. Johnson. which occurred at his late residence. 1341 B street, N. E., this city, on Tuesday, March the 13th, removes from our presence one of the most active and energetic figures in public life, and his many friends in this city and elsewhere are pained to hear of his demise. Dr. Johnson came to this city from Texas about 16 years ago, having been appointed to a clerkship in the Pension Office, which position he held with the confidence of his superiors, and the friendship and esteem of his fellow clerks up to the time of his death. He leaves a wife, Mrs. Mary A. Johnson, and six children to mourn his loss. He was buried in Payne Cemetery. Dr. Johnson was born in the State of Maryland and at the time of his death, was in the 54th year of his age. He Was a member of the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, this city, where his wife and oldest daughter still retain their membership. Though not active in Christian work, he possessed those Christian traits which go to make up an ardent and a consistent Christian. To those who questioned him before his death, he replied that he was prepared, long ago, to meet his Saviour. He was the champion of the lowly and the distressed. He founded the National Colored People's Co-operative Beneficial Association, a chartered, charitable institution, organized in 1904, and containing 800 financial members. The Association contributed to the burial of the deceased. Dr. Johnson took great interest in public affairs affecting his race, to which his noble life was devoted. Quick in the defense of his race, and sensitive of their rights, he was himself the embodiment of all that goes to represent racial integrity, consistency and cohesiveness. He was a great advocate of justice and right, and when once convinced that he was in the right, the world could not turn him. Verily it doth seem that "Death loves a shining mark." "He is gone from among us, and lonely and sad, Is the home which his presence no longer makes glad; He is gone, and a star in its brilliance has set; But the light of its beauty we cannot forget." FUNERAL OF LIEUT. MOORE Remains Attended to Grave by Associa- tions of Police Force Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock over the remains of Lieut. James A. Moore, of the first precinct station, whose death occurred, after an illness of two weeks, Sunday morning at the George Washington University Hospital. A company of policemen, under the command of Capt. T. B. Amiss, acted as an honorary escort. The services were held at the Douglas Memorial Church, 11th and H streets northeast, and were conducted by Rev G. C. Bacon, pastor of the church. Interment was made in Congressional Cemetery. Besides the cordon of policemen there were many police, District officials and friends of the deceased present at the services. Many beautiful floral designs were sent by friends of the deceased The following designs were sent by several police precincts: Detective headquarters, "Cross and Crown;" precinct No. 1, large floral piece, three feet high; No. 3, "Gates Ajar;" No. 6, "Gates Ajar;" No 9, bouquet of flowers; No. 10, wreath.

CURES DISEASE WITH LIGHT Copenhagen Physician Remedies Afflictions of the Heart in a Unique Manner. Copenhagen.—Dr. Hasselbach, though considering further disclosures on the Finsen 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. West of Beptiles Unearthed—Woman Scalds Them to Death and Then Displays Them. Munfordsville, Ky.—Forty-two rattlesnakes, 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 scalded the reptiles, and, with a pair of tongs, 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 sanguily 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 exhibition in Kentucky.

Harmony Department, No. 71, meet Medical Students Said to Have Organized Partnership in Grewsome Business. San Francisco.—It has become known that several young men in this city have organized a partnership for dealing in human skin stripped from corpses in hospitals and college dissecting rooms, tanned and made into purses and articles of wearing apparel. This, grewsome business, it is said, has been in operation some time, and its owners have made considerable money by it. A day or two ago two men, who declined to tell their names, but who said they were medical students, living in San Francisco, called on the president of a tanning company of West Berkeley and asked him to prepare some human skin for commercial purposes. With them they had two pieces of cuticle, one about a foot square and the other a trifle smaller, which they admitted they had stripped from a body in a dissecting room. They said they intended making slippers out of the skin. The commission was declined. Other tanners have also been approached by embryo physicians, who are engaged in the trade. It is alleged that articles made from the skin of men and women have been carried from California to all portions of the union. Who in the neighborhood of a man is worth, is soft and pliable, $500. The skin, respects chamols, resembling in many slippers and many of it belts, purses, are manufactured. other small articles a MORTORCAR REAC HES LIMIT New York—George W.

At the rear of the dashboard in front of the chauffeur are several small electric lights. Over each is a silver mounted label, bearing instructions of various kinds, such as "more speed," "slower," etc. By pressing a button in the interior of the car the lights are illuminated to signify the directions to be carried out. If some special order is to be given the telephone is used, the receiver of which is shaped like a horn, and is situated close to the right ear of the driver. QUEERCHECK TO PNEUMONIA New York.—Theron Brown is better now. He was suffering from pneumonia in the city hospital at Newark and was delirious when the nurse left him for a moment to fill an ice bag. Brown is a negro, 23 years old. He was apparently in a bad way and urgent care was necessary in his case, but when the nurse's back was turned he dived through a third-story window and landed on his head on the roof of a portico. He was momentarily stunned, but revived and jumped 15 feet to the court, landing on the concrete pavement. Then he ran through Fairmount street to Cabinet street, where he was overtaken by Night Watchman Peter Clark, who led him back to the hospital. Brown was clad only in hospital pyjamas and his feet were bare. The temperature outdoors was 15 degrees above zero. His temperature a few minutes before the plunge was 104 and when he was returned to bed it was 101. He was severely cut and scratched by the glass he crashed through, but his general condition seemed to be bettered by his adventure and it is believed that he will recover from the attack of pneumonia. FEARED TO TELL INCIDENT. Rcbbed, Lew Wallace's Aged Cousin Walked One Hundred and Thirty Miles. Iowa City, Ia.—Footsore and penniless, William Mories, of Bloomington, Ill., 95 years old and a first cousin of Gen. Lew Wallace, arrived here after walking the greater part of the 130 miles between Des Moines and Iowa City. Despite the fact that he was nearly 240,000 acres of land in Texas and a fine residence in Bloomington, the old hero of the Mexican war, who had been robbed of his traveling fun and watch in Des Moines, chose to make his way to friends near Ia., and seek aid from them to take him home rather than call upon his wife and daughter there for assistance and let it be known that he had no robbed. Mories was an intimate friend of nearly every president of the U. S. States since the Mexican war, was one of the three delegates to the world's congress of rebellions at the Columbian exposition, and held the same position at the congress at St. Louis Commerce Between United States in Those Countries Amounts to $32,000,000 Yearly. Washington.—Trade of the United States with the Scandinavian countries, under which term are included Sweden, Denmark and Norway amounts to $32,000,000 a year, of which $6,000,000 is imports from and $6,000,000 exports to those countries. There are the figures for the fiscal year 1928. Figures just prepared by the department of commerce and/or through its bureau of statistics show that in 1895 the total trade with these three countries amounted to $1,000,000 of which a little less than $100,000 imports and a little more than $80,000 exports. Thus the trade of the United States with these countries has increased practically by 10 per cent in the last decade, while the totaleign trade has increased by 10 per cent. How much of this rapid growth in our trade with these countries is due to the large percentage of their people who have become a part of the population of the United States cannot be statically stated, but it is at least an interesting fact that the Scandinavian population of the United States bears a larger ratio to the present population of their countries of nativity than is true of any other class of our foreign population. The census of 1900 shows in the United States 10,211 persons born in Sweden, Denmark and Norway, a total equal to 107 per cent of the present population of these countries, while the highest ratio which any other nationality in the United States bears to the present population of its home country is that of the United Kingdom, 6.5 per cent, while German ranks next with 48 per cent, Italy 1.5 per cent and Austria Hungary 1.3 per cent.

All passenger trains of the Baltimore Ohio Railroad to and from New York now have direct ferry connection with 23rd Street Terminal, in addition Liberty Street; the South Ferry Terrace having been discontinued. Twenty-third Street is the most popular of the great metropolis because of its convenience to the hotel, cafes and shipping district. In the city remodeling of the terminal building a glass roofed canopy was constructed by feet wide, under which the own cars of the 14th, 23rd, 28th South Street lines pass, so that pass- s are protected from the weather ing the harry house, and also avoid ignrance of street traffic. A baggage destined to New York will be delivered to 23rd Street un- doubtedly marked "Liberty Street." otherwise complete electric cab service has been established for the transporta- tion passengers and baggage at very sale rates. the importance of 23rd Street is most especially brought to attention in the August number of the Book of the Royal-Blue published by the passenger department of the Baltimore & Ohio, over the title "Into the Heart of Bethany." The interest centers within mindfuls of 23rd street, Fifth ave- dial Broadway.

MEAD CYCLE CO., Dent. "J.L." CHICAGO, ILL ROAD HAS WOMAN HEAD. Widow of Millionaire to Be President of Line Between Los Angeles and San Francisco. Santa Monica, Cal.-Work has been commanded on an electric railroad from Santa Monica to Huqame. The name of the new road is the Huqame, Malibu & Port Los Angeles, of which corporation Mrs. May Rindge is president and H. W. Lemcks general manager. The company is capitalized at $1,000,000, and will have its offices in Santa Monica. The road follows the beach, and in Ventura county will connect with the Burson road for Ventura, and thence to Santa Barbara. Rails, rolling stock and equipment have been ordered to the east. Several hundred yards of track have already been laid and a force of 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 "Spoontag 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 cell." Announcing in newspapers her intention to combat evils arising from too great familiarity before marriage, she called for enrolments in the new club, and declares it will revolutionize 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.

On October 23rd the Metropolitan Street Railway Co. of New York inaugurated a new line of through street cars between West 23rd Street Station and Grand Central Station of the New York Central and New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroads, on a four minute headway between 7.30 A. M. and 7.00 P. M., making the distance between the two Stations in about twenty minutes without transfer, on a five-cent fare. In addition to this excellent arrangement is the splendid electric cab service at reasonable rates. All trains of the Baltimore & Ohio R.

Fred Talbott, who died at Baltimore e, Md., at the age of 91 years, had im lict faith in the honesty of hobos, and her confidence never was betrayed. No tramp or beggar ever was urned, way 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 kept 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.

Bene Berenger, Well-Known French Senator, Trying to Better Conditions of Workmen. Paris.—This is Rene Berenger, a man who has been much misunderstood, who has excited violent enmities, who has even had the courage to go counter to the weaknesses of the Paris public, and has consequently suffered from its resentment. It is curious, therefore, that he should at last be recognized as what he has been al [Illustration of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. (Prominent Frenchman Who Is a Friend of Clerka and Workmen.) ways—the pitying, serviceable friend of his fellow citizens. He is no other than the famous Senator Berenger, called opprobiously "Father Modesty" and "The French Comstock." This is because of his persistent war on incitements to immorality in the street, in pictorial publications and on the theatrical stage. But when a really great public man devotes himself to technical reforms along the lines of his conscience, rather than to courting the admiration of the public in more showy labors, the good he does often passes unperceived. Thus in 1883 he fought to the last to preserve the irremovability of judge. He is the author of a law against promiscuity in prisons. In 1885 he brought about a law which has done much to reclaim discharged prisoners. He was one of the founders of the Prison society, as well as of the rich and important Society for Aiding Liberated Prisoners. He was born in 1830. He was advocate general at Lyons in 1870. He fought and was wounded in the Franco-Prussian war. Although known to have anarchistic tendencies, he alded in organizing the present republic of which he was elected a life senator in 1875. If French clerks and workmen get Sunday rest it will in every probability be thanks to this man. FOR SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH. Sketches of Design for Vessel to Be Used by Government in Biological Work. Washington. - The accompanying approximate sketches of a design by B. B. Crowninshield are for a vessel to be used in connection with the work of the United States biological station at Woods Hole in gathering specimens of marine life along the New England coast. The boat is designed to meet the special requirements of the work, and also with a view to making her as much of a "little ship" as her length will permit. Her construction will be heavy, her finish plain, and her accommodations such as to give substantial comfort to men engaged in serious and often fatiguing work. The lines show a liberal freeboard, moderate sailplan, and a general "ship- DESIGNS FOR VESSEL plness," as well as a pleasing profile. The bow is particularly good looking for a vessel of this type. The breadth is liberal—14 feet—to a waterline length of 38 feet and over all length of 51 feet. The draft is limited to five feet, as the boat will be obliged to work sometimes in shoal waters, and to enter shallow harbors. A small gasoline engine will supply enough power to give the vessel sufficient speed to reach port in a calm, but it will be used chiefly for holisting the dredging apparatus to be carried. A "scollop" winch will be attached to a shaft coming out of a short half-deck across the forward end of the cockpit, power being applied by a chain from the flywheel of the engine.

BIG ARMY FOR CHINA EMPIRE TO REORGANIZE FIGHTING FORCE. Task Falls to Gen. Yim Tchang, Educated in Art of War in Germany —Will Have Aid of Japan. eas Experts. Berlin.—With one million rifles of the latest pattern on order in Europe and contracts signed for 300 modern batteries the Chinese empire has made a highly effective start on its big army reorganization scheme which is already causing such hard thinking in various quarters of the world. It can now be added that the actual creation of China's great war machine of the future probably will begin in earnest some time in April or May, for late in March the man who has been chosen to take the business in hand will leave Europe for Peking for the purpose of beginning his mighty task. This is, of course, General Yin Tchang, China's greatest soldier, who for the last three years has been representing his country at the kaiser's court. General Yin Tchang's appointment as generalissimo of the new Chinese army was announced as long ago as last October, but it is only recently that the date of his departure for Peking had been definitely settled. Meanwhile, it is no secret that China's new army, which is to number one and one-fourth million men and cost 600 million dollars, will be modeled on that greatest of all European military machines—the army of Kalsar Wilhelm—and General Yin Tchang is undoubtedly the person to do it. Sent ```markdown ``` GEN. YIN TCHANG (Who Will Reorganize Army of the Chinese Empire) GEN. YIN TCHANG (Who Will Reorganize Army of the Chinese Empire) as a young man to study the art of war in the school of Moltke and Von Clausewitz, he was brought up as a German officer, spent seven years in the kaiser's service and returned to China in 1893, just in time to take an active part in his country's struggle against the Japanese a year later. It was he who conducted the brilliant defense of Tien-Tsin against the mikado's invincible army of invasion, and this performance made him recognized as undoubtedly the most able soldier under the dragon flag. A few years later he left the army to enter China's diplomatic service, acting first as minister to Vienna and later to Berlin. Slight of build and extremely youthful looking in spite of his forty odd years, General Yin Tchang speaks both English and German fluently and is the most accomplished after-dinner speaker in the Berlin diplomatic corps. Aided by the many Japanese experts who are already engaged in drilling the Chinese army, General Yin Tchang may be expected to do great things with the forces of the hermit kingdom. And in that task he is likely to benefit greatly by the advice of seven keen-witted young Chinamen who, following the example, have been serving their apprenticeship as officers in the German army, and whom the world may some day have occasion to acclaim as the Oyamae, Kadamas, Nogis and Kyrokols of their race. Most of them are to return home as members of General Yin Tchang's staff. Sons of mandarins and representatives of the new-spirit of modern China, these alert, almond-eyed young men are not novices at the game of war. Each of them has falshed a four years' course at the great Chinese military academy of Wuchang, which is founded on German models, and they are practically doing "post graduate work" in Germany now.

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 1,05 cut 5,820,909 feet of all kinds of lumber. Of the total output 3,628,029,000 feet was white and Norway pine, 1,195,073,000 feet was hemlock, and 1,077,807,000 hardwoods of various kinds. Pine production in 1905 fell 592,888,000 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 292,550,000 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.
