William Tecumseh Vernon dr Vernon was born of slave parent- July 11, 1871, on a farm in a log near Lebanon, Missouri. His father, Adam Vernon, and his mother in Lebanon to which place they moved in 1877 in order to place their William, then six years old, in the park over these barriers, these oblique schools. When but eight years old he struck it for himself and during his vacations to work in the fields to make at twenty-five cents per day and did odd jobs with which to pay for his work. At the age of fifteen he bade due to his home and went to Jefferson Mo., where he entered Lincoln Institute, from which he was graduated 13, 1890. Although working his through college and having manyships he stood at the head of his his and graduated with the class hon. The day of his graduation he borrowed the money with which to buy dinner. He began teaching in the fall of 1890 in Bonne Terre, Missouri, where he taught two years, when he was appointed principal of the school at his home, in which he was formerly a pupil, remaining in charge four years, when he concluded to widen his field and serve to Quindaro, Kansas, assuming i of the prospective Western Uni- with but six students. He has built up a school which is the pride colored race, having under him others and 200 students. University owns 130 acres of land upon which the university are erected.

XXV.NO.45. 1 man who was ever invited to address the Kansas Day Club, the most exclusive club in the West, composed of Governors, Senators, Congressmen and the leading literary enn in the State. On that occasion, January 5, 1905, he was the only colored man invited and was the guest of honor. His subject was, "A plea for a suspension of judgment," which was pronounced by the press generally as one of the finest efforts delivered before the club. In August, 1901 he was married to Miss Emily Jane Embry, daughter of the late Bishop Embry. Being a lady of rare attainments she has aided him, materially, in his efforts to rise, although since his graduation he has contributed to the support of his aged parents and other members of the family he has managed to build for himself a beautiful house across from the University with all modern improvements where with his family he leads, a delightful and contented life surrounded with all the comforts that money will buy. It is a long way from a tow-path, bare-footed canal boy from a log cabin in Ohio to the Presidency and the ruler of a great nation, but it is by far a much greater distance from a bare-footed boy from a log cabin in Missouri to the distinguished and important position of Register of the United States Treasury and the honored guest of the most cultured and distinguished men of the nation, because the environments, the bar- M. riers, the obstacles to be overcome were greater, yet Mr. Vernon by his own efforts, brushed aside these enviroments, stacles and has demonstrated the grand possibilities that lie wrapped up in every bare-footed American boy. Rising to heights of which he never dreamed—today one of the most finished orators of the country, an eminent divine, a great educator of his people and an honor to his race and country. He is a fit representative of the State from which he hails and a representative of a people who delight in honoring him. That he will fill with dignity and ability the office tendered him by the President, none will question. THE NEW HOME OF THE McCALL The new home of the McCall Patterns and McCall's Magazine, at 236-38-40-42-44 and 246 West 37th street, New York City, is the largest building in the world devoted to the manufacture of one make of paper patterns. It is ten stories high and occupies six city lots. The building is absolutely fireproof and contains one hundred and twenty thousand square feet of floor space. The basement is largely taken up by a magnificently fitted engine room; the remainder is used for storing paper, and most of the time several hundred tons can be seen here. And now just a word about the McCall Company itself. The business was established in 1870 by James McCall, and this company was the very first pattern manufacturer to combine perfection in style, fit and reliability with popular prices. During the last ten years, or rather under the present management, the increase of the business has been phenomenal. MAGAZINE HON. JOHN A. MERRITT. The Bee regrets that the Hon. John A. Merritt intends to leave the people of the District of Columbia. There is no man in the public service more loved than Mr. Merritt. He has endeared himself to the people of this city, who hold him in the highest esteem. President Roosevelt announced on Saturday, March 31, that he would appoint John A. Merritt, postmaster of the city of Washington, to succeed the late Major James Low as collector of the port of Niagara. This announcement was made after a short conference with Representative Wadsworth Saturday morning. Mr. Merritt is a resident of Lockport, N. Y., which is in Mr. Wadsworth's district. There was a close friendship among Major Low, Mr. Wadsworth and Postmaster Merritt. It is understood that the postmaster has been anxious to return to New York for some time. He was appointed postmaster at Washington by President McKinley in 1899, and has made one of the most efficient postmasters the city of Washington ever had. He has instituted many changes which have benefited the patrons of the office. The appointment will result in a determined effort to have the President appoint a local man to succeed him as postmaster. Within the next few days, it is predicted half a dozen or more names of prominent men of the District will be presented to the President. As the announcement of the appointment of Mr. Merritt to his new position was not made until late Saturday, no name has yet been offered to the President for a successor. It will be pointed out to the President that it is nothing more than proper that a position so essentially local shuld go to a local man. Those in a position close to the President believe that he will grant this request. BEE ITEMS ON THE WING. Recent events have more fully demonstrated the urgent necessity of the colored blither working in unity. An Indian chief, upon an occasion said to his sons who were upon the verge of fighting among themselves, "Bring me a bundle of arrows." They did so, then he said, "break them." They tried and failed. He said, "loosen." They did so. He said, "now break." They did so very easily. The result, they failed to fight. Preston Garland, aged 107, colored, died at his home on Water street, Morristown, N.

At the closing exercises of the Woman's Law Class of the New York University, thirty-one certificates were awarded. Archbishop Ireland of St. Paul, Minn. was the guest of honor at a dinner given in his honor at Rome. There were many prominent Prelates present.

Something must be done soon; if it is not, there is little hope for the colored brother.—The Bee, March 23d. GET TOGETHER. see there's danger ahead. Don't you see that everybody's trying to down you everywhere. Don't you see the undermining schemes, that daily come to pass. So if once they get you started, they can keep you down the hill. Get together oh my people, don't you fool your time away. Don't you see your doom is coming, nearer, nearer every day, Don't you see that while you're quarreling and doth with each other, That the other race is slowly climbing on from height to height Don't you see the time is ripe, that you must show yourself a man, And that can't is a back number, and the word is now I can? Don't you know that disobedience was was the making of a hell, Don't you see those very evils if you do not fight them all, Will impede your onward progress and will cause the race to fall? Get together oh my people, do not think its time to stop, Don't you see the name of others who have almost reached the top, Don't you see that if you linger at the foot or some where near. Don't you know that those behind you are the young and tender vines, And that by your slothful actions, you may make them change their mind? Get together oh my people, don't you see the ship will sink, Don't you see the storm arising, see those clouds as black as ink, mighty straight to reach the shore, Don't you see the safest anchor, hope lics at your door, And that if you do not use it, you are lost forever more? ```markdown ``` Get together oh my people, get together one and all, Don't you see that it is best to be together, stand or fall, Don't you see that giant division, will the mightiest nations break, Don't you know the bond of union, will the strongest nation make, Don't you see that if you'll only get together like the rest, That you'll be a mighty power when they put you to the test? Get together oh my people, get together serve the Lord, Get together oh my people, put your trust in Jesus' word. Mrs. Vernon, the wife of Prof. Vernon, is the daughter of the late Bishop J. S. Embry, of the A. M. E. Church, who was married to Mrs. Vernon's mother, Miss Oregon Franklin, of Leavenworth, Kansas, in 1872. He had long been pastor in the church of which Miss Franklin was a member and was an earnest worker. Her family removed to the Territory of Kansas from Arkansas from which they were driven as were all free colored people prior to the War of 1861. They represented the best people in Leavenworth and were highly respected, and also gave their children every advantage to be had at their home. Mrs. Vernon's bother was a woman of great force of character, culture and refinement. Upon the death of her mother, the family removed to Philadelphia, where her father was general manager of the A. M. E. Book Concern. Here she spent her early childhood. Bishop Embry, being one of the most scholarly ministers, perhaps one of the ablest the A. M. E Church ever had, was naturally ambitious for his children and gave them superior social and educational advantages, sending Mrs. Vernon to this city, where she was prepared for college at Howard University, later entering Wilberforce University, from which she was graduated. MRS. W. Mary C. MRS. W. T. VERNON. She then went to Quindaro, Kansas, where she became a successful teacher in the Western University, over which Prof. Vernon presides, and to whom she was subsequently married in August, 1901. Mrs. Vernon is a lady of most charming manners, broad culture and many accomplishments, which universally fit her to preside with grace, tact and dignity over the official home of her distinguished husband and an ornament to the society of Washington. While a student here she made and has many friends who will reclaim her back to the National Capital as the wife of the man whom the President has so highly honored in naming him because of his eminent features for the important office of Register of the United States Treasury. Get together, oh my people, get together, take a stand, Get together! Get together! form a sin-destroying band. And, if thus you are together, when the final summons come. Corporal Tanney, Commander of the G. A. R., at the meeting of the Blue and Gray, held at Atlanta, Ga., March 27, praised Gen. Joe Wheeler, ex-Confederate, and Gen. U. S. A. Grant in many words. The first woman commandant at the United States Navy Yard is Mrs. Albert H. Metcalfe, at Sacketts Harbor. At the recent session of the Compack Fraternity, F. A. A. Y. M., for the District of Columbia, Brother H. C. Cox was re-elected M. W. G. M.; D. E. Williams, R. W. G., secretary. Particulars later. What I Saw And Heard There are some very small men in this world who will do some very small things. It is not always with the ignorant classes. Supposed men of intelligence will do small things which look ridiculous in the eyes of the public. Well I was out with Col. Phil Waters a few days ago and he began to talk religion to me. Phil is really converted. He met lots of his old friends to whom he talked religion and it was not very long before they were ready to take the sacrament cup. I see where R. R. Homer has cited John W. Patterson to appear before the grievance committee of the bar association. Col. Patterson declares that he doesn't fear an investigation of his personal conduct. I have been informed that Prof. Vernon will be in the city shortly and appear before the Senate Investigating committee. Just what interest the woman has in attempting to defeat his confirmation I don't know. It can't be for the love of the race. What Kansas politicians is she endeavoring to please? Senator Ben Tillman is too busy with his rate bill to discuss the negro question. After the rate bill he has some personal business in his State to look THE LADY OF THE ROOM There is a great deal for Congress to do for the District. Perhaps if Congress was a little severe on the colored people in this city many of them who are fighting each other would go to work and do something. The Board of Trustees of Howard University has decided on a president. He is from the North and a man of influence and character. It was unanimously decided not to appoint a colored man at the head of that institution. My esteemed friend, Postmaster Merritt, has been named for the Collectorship at Niagara, New York. Mr. Merritt is a man of character and influence I congratulate him. There is a full in local politics. If the local politicians do not make out any better than they did at their meeting some few weeks ago they will not be able to make beer money. I have been informed that a certain interloper has said that he proposes to see that good men are sent to the next convention. There are more fools in this city than one sensible person can count. Now that we have a representative bar association, it is hoped that the members will apply to the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia for headquarters. Major Sylvester, it is said, has his eyes on a good colored man that he intends to make a detective. If the Major and Commissioner select him he will be pure in heart. Good men are being appointed on the force now. Fairplay. Coming! WILLIAMS and WALKER "Abyssinia"!!!

Billing Dist Pass Agt SALTIMORE AND OHIO TERMINAL AT TWENTY-THIRD STREET, NEW YORK CITY. All passenger trains of the Baltimore Ohio Railroad to and from New York City now have direct ferry connection with 23rd Street Terminal, in addition to Liberty Street; the South Ferry Terminal having been discontinued. Twenty-third Street is the most popular terminal of the great metropolis because of its convenience to the hotel, theatre and shopping district. In the recent remodeling of the terminal building a glass-roofed canopy was constructed fifty feet wide, under which the cross town car of the 14th, 23rd, 28th and 29th Street lines pass, so that passengers are protected from the weather having the fire house, and also avoid the arson on street traffic. All baggage destined to New York City will be served to 23rd Street unless carefully marked "Liberty Street," otherwise. A complete electric cab service has also been established for the transportation of passengers and baggage at very reasonable rates. The importance of 23rd Street is most graphically brought to attention in the August number of the Book of the Royal Blue published by the passenger department of the Baltimore & Ohio, after it "Into the Heart of Boston" the interest centers within a mile radius of 23rd street, Fifth avenue and Broadway.

N. W. 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 left Rev. Cooley still 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 1843 only two parsons were present—Mrs. William II. Curtis, of the Giddings 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 Medina, 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 $106,204, 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, mess 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 slightly higher.

Italians of New York Will Direct Memorial to Famous Patriot on Staten Island. New York.—The Italian colony is about to erect a monument at Rosebank, S. I., in memory of Garibaldi, the famous Italian patriot and erstwhile citizen of the United States. Garibaldi, while an exile, lived from 1851 to 1853 in the house of a Rosebank candlemaker named Antonio Meucci, and worked at the candlemaker's trade. The land on which the house stood became a part of the Bachmann brewery property, and ten years ago Frederick Bachmann offered to give the DESIGN OF GARIBALDI MONUMENT. house to the Italian colony on condition that the colony would move it to some other location. The project slumbered, however, until seven months ago, when it was taken up in earnest by the Bollientino-della Sera, the local Italian newspaper. The committee in charge collected $3,000, and used part of the money to buy a beautiful plot of land, not far from the present site, overlooking the Narrows and the ocean. Thither the house will be moved, and the monument built about it. The house is a two-story structure, about 20 by 4 feet in size; and the monument, which will be a Pantheon-like structure covering the house, will leave a promenade 20 feet wide on all sides of the cottage. The material will be wood, painted white, and there will be four imitation bronze bas-reliefs in the tympan, representing four of Garibaldi's battles—one in South America and three in Italy. Chevalier A. C. Maldura is the architect and P. Rigall, a sculptor member of the committee, will give the designs for the bas-reliefs. On June 2, the anniversary of Garibaldi's death, which took place in 1882, the members of the Italian colony will make a pilgrimage to Rosebank and inspect the progress of the monument. MYSTERIOUS WATER SUPPLY Strange Phenomenon in Switzerland —Stream Seems to Come from Heart of Tree. Geneva, Switzerland. A stream of water, which apparently flows from the heart of a tree is somewhat of a phenomenon, and would appear at first sight to be due either to an optical illusion or some supernatural agency. Yet the thing exists, "plain for all folk to see." The village of Gunten, near the Lake of Thun, in Switzerland, has the honor of possessing the peculiarity, which has existed for years. Indeed, all the dwellers in the village have become so accustomed to watering their cattle at a tank whose contents issue from a neighboring tree, that they give way to astonishment when foreign tourists ```markdown ``` THE WATER APPARENTLY COMES FROM THE TREE. express surprise at the sight. They have, moreover, no explanation to put forward to account for the local marvel. Inquiries fall to elicit anything more satisfying than the statement that it always has been so. The solution of the problem, however, is not far to seek, and is a most natural one. When the supply pipe was erected, it was affixed to a post of green wood. This post, without doubt, threw out roots and in time developed into a tree, from which, since the pipe is embedded in it, the water continues to flow Promise and Fulfillment. Census reports show that the bicycle business in the United States has dropped from $30,000,000 a year to $6,000,000. And yet enthusiasts once predicted that the bicycle would send the horse to the abattoirs. Now, remarks the Baltimore Herald, the automobile craze is at its height and similar prophecies are being made. Will fulfillment be an elusive jade again? LORD CADOGAN SACRIFICED HIS WEALTH FOR HIS TENANTS. British Fear Gave Up $250,000 Voluntarily So That They Might Not Be Discommoded—A Man of Varied Tastes. London.—Is it worth $250,000 to be known as the best landlord in London? Lord Cadogan's right to that designation is not likely to be questioned after this, but most people will agree that the above named sum is a big one to have to pay for it. As a matter of fact his lordship—who recently was lord lieuetnant of Ireland—has always been known as one of the "squarest" as well as one of the richest London land-owners He is one of the four of five men, in including the dukes of Bedford and Westminster, who own most of London, his particular domain being the histroic district of Chelsea, and eve. since the estate passed into his hand, he has made a point of favoring his tenants as perhaps no other proprieto has done. That he had deprived him self of $250,000 rather than embarrass them was not known until a few days ago, however, when it was divulged in a speech on the proposed taxation of land values which C. A. Whitmore, M. P., addressed to the ratepayers in Chelsea. This speaker declared that when North street, Chelsea, was remodeled awhile ago, Lord Cadogan was approached by a syndicate which asked him to sell the property to them. To which the earl replied: "I will sell it, but I must insist upon your granting new leases to every one who is in that street, so that no one is turned out for five years, and so that they will all have ample notice." "That," said the member of parliament, "made a difference of £50,000—$250,000—to Lord Cadogan—in other words, if he had sold it outright without a condition of that sort, he would have got £50,000 more than he did." It must be owned that that was a rather astonishing sacrifice, even for a man like the earl, whose income from his Chelsea property is probably not M. LORD CADOGAN (British Peer Who Sacrificed a Fortune for His Tenants) under $1,000,000 a year. That property, by the way, is surpassed by few London districts in interesting associations, its former inhabitants having included the Carlyles, George Eliot, Dante, Gabriel Roettl and Leigh Hunt, to name only the first that come to mind. It is now the great gathering ground for London's artists and sculptors — especially The street — where both of those American giants of the bush, Sargent and Abbey, have their studios. Nor is Lord Cadogan what they call in Ireland an "absentee landlord," for his town residence, Chelsea house, is situated almost directly in the center of his great property Sixty-six years old, rather small in stature and of fair complexion, the earl is a man of varied tastes and avocations. One of the most enthusiastic racing men in England, he is also an amateur musician and plays the piano especially well. In politics he has cut quite a distinguished figure, having been at one time or another under secretary of war, under secretary for the colonies, and lord privy seal, besides lord lieutenant of Ireland—of which he made himself as popular a viceroy as the circumstances of that rather embarrassing case will permit. Incidentally Earl Cadogan is a grand-nephew of the great duke of Wellington. In the country Lord Cudogan owns 10,000 acres—these being comprised in the historic Culford estate, for which with Culford hall, the earl paid the thumping sum of $365,000. The private park attached to the estate alone consists of 500 acres, and contains extensive gardens and a picturesque lake. Needless to say big and distinguished gatherings are held at Culford from time to time, both the king and queen having been there frequently. Both are especially fond of Lady Cudogan, who besides being good-looking and a capable hostess, is a skillful horsewoman, handy with her fishing rod and a fair golf player. She is the daughter of a former Lord Craven, and was married to the earl in 1865. Play by Boni's Father Marquis de Castellane, Count Boni's father, has written a drama, entitles "For the Fatherland," which tells of Napoleon's love for the Polish Countess Walewska, whom he met at Warsaw. It will shortly be presented. He—What do you think will be the music of the future? She—It all depends on where you are going to spend it—Yonkers Statesman. THE DAY WE CELEBRATE On Monday, April 16th, is the day the colored people in this city celebrate the emancipation from slavery. It will be 43 year on that day from the tim eCongress declared freedom to the slaves in the District of Columbia. There was a time when the people in this city celebrated that day with imposing ceremonies. It drifted along until the drafters seized the reigns of freedom and collected money from the friends of the freedmen and put it in their pockets. There were times when upwards of five hundred dollars were subscribed by the white people; the colored people very seldom contributed. Even to-day there is a class of shysters collecting money from the merchants in this city under the pretense of having an emancipation celebration which no general arraigement has ever been made except the exercises that are to be held in the Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church under the auspices of the Dunbar Literary Association and the expenses of this meeting will be paid by the club. There has already been collected from the white merchants in this city quite a sum of money by shysters, claiming to these merchants that the money is either for a parade or for an old colored folks' home. The Bee thinks that there are several good cases for the police department. Every year our merchants are imposed upon by a class of lazy, goodfor-nothing and worthless individuals. There is to be no celebration under the auspices of this bogus emancipation committee and the men who are going around collecting money for a street parade are impostors and the merchants are requested to turn them over to an officer, and those who contributed should notify the police department. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT. The administration of President Roosevelt has been one of exposition of corrupt men. In many instances there are mitigating circumstances named in the case of George Green, of New York, and Samuel Groff. These are two cases in which the administration has committed errors. Samuel Groff is an ex-Union soldier, who fought in defense of a republic which did not appreciate his services. At the time of his conviction he should have been pardoned, because the evidence, in the opinion of The Bee, did not warrant his conviction. The two recent appointments made by the President—the judge of the Juvenile Court and City Postmaster—have been surprises to the people. The Bee only knows the merits of the two men from newspaper accounts. It is quite evident however that the President did not consult the City Postmaster and neither did he take the advice of the bar association relative to the appointment of the judge of the Juvenile Court. There are men in the bar association more deserving and citizens more entitled to be Postmaster. It is quite evident that there was a great church influence brought to bear on the President in the interest of the Juvenile Judgeship and the city Postmastership was the personal appointment of the President as a rebuke to those who saw fit to criticise the late White House Morris incident. The appointment of Mr. Barnes was an endorsement of his actions, whether they were right or wrong. It is not believed that the affair was as disgraceful as it was pictured by the press. Out of the great number of local appointments made, the President has not seen fit to recognize the merits of any worthy colored citizens for whom he claimed to have such consideration. What has become of the "door of hope?" It has gone never to return again. THE SERVANT CLASS THE SERVANT CLASS. The question is being asked daily what is to become of our servants. Are they not to improve their condition and themselves?. A great deal is left to our colored churches to instruct this class of people how to be clean and how the yshould conduct themselves in public. The season for picnics and excursions has about opened. The atmosphere will be decorated with midnight brawls and frolics that will be to the detriment of those who believe in good citizenship. Already a bill has been introduced in Congress to establish Jim Crow cars in this city. The reason for this is drinking rowdies will make the nights hideous by brawls and fights and crowding the street cars and monopolizing the street corners and insulting ladieh. Here is an excellent opportunity for reformation. Here is an opportunity for the servant classes to organize themselves into an organization for reform. The pulpit in this regard can do a great deal in instructing the noisy element to be more careful and conduct themselves as ladies and gentlemen whenever they occupy scats in street cars. It is not necessary for servants to leave the kitchen in a greasy condition. Water is plentiful and soap is cheap. "Cleanliness is godly." - A person's color or condition will not be objectionable if he is clean and gentlemanly and ladylike. Soud and boisterous talking in street cars should be stopped. The public schools can do a great deal in inaugurating reforms in this direction. It is admitted that a great number of colored people are poor in this community, but their poor condition is no excuse for them to lose their manhood and womanhood. If the condition of the colored people and especially We cannot agree with our able contemporary, the Atlanta Independent, in toto, when it says that the greatest shams are the negro leaders.. While we have a great number of them in this country who have imposed upon the ignorant masses, the greatest shams the people in this city have to contend with are the social shams. (While we have had and do have business shams, the people have become fully convinced that there is more evil existing among the social shams than any other class of individuals. This class of shams can get closer to the people. You will find them in the Sunday school, church and the pulpit. Hundreds of young girls are deceived by these shams. We have had bank shams in this city that have financially embarrassed the people. But the social shams wind up in the police court on charges of seduction. Our social circle is discased by this class of shams. They do their rascally acts and then they endeavor to hide it by charging others with offenses of which they are not guilty. IIM CROW "Representative Heflin of Alabama has introduced a bill to compel the street car companies of the District of Columbia to provide separate cars for the transportation of white and colored people. The bill is similar to the 'Jim Crow' car laws of Southern States. Mr. Heflin says he means business with the bill. It has been referred to the committee on the District." It is not surprising to the 90,000 colored people in this city what any Southern Democrat offers. These old "moss back" Southern Democrats are fast passing in their checks and before long they will be off the stage of action. Mr. Heflin will have a chance one of these days to ask for a separation in hades after he makes his farewell trip to the unknown region, from whence no sinners have been known to return. The Bee is confident that there will be no "Jim Crow" cars in the District of Columbia. This law once existed but it died with the War of the Rebellion. REGISTER VERNON. The Senate Committee is in possession of facts which show that there is a political conspiracy against the new Register of the Treasury, Mr. Vernon. There will be some sensational developments soon which show that a certain bankrupt in this city is furnishing funds to an individual against whom charges have been filed with the committee. A representative Southern negro closely associated with this bankrupt is being supplied with funds. All of these facts are in possession of the committee. It has not been necessary for Mr. Vernon to come to the city as yet, but quite likely he will be in town in a few days if the committee is not satisfied. The committee has also before it the report of the investigation that was ordered by the President, which exonerates Mr. Vernon. It is quite evident that President Roosevelt was satisfied with the report made by special agents of the Treasury Department under Secretary Shaw. A report from the committee will be made in a few days. THE OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. THE REF The Washington Bee contained an interesting editorial last week, on the inlifference of men of professions and high standing in that city, to the condition of the great mass of the race. The article further states that many so-called representative men are ever ready to help degrade the women of the race; quick to help destroy. Hon. H. P. Cheatham spent Wednesday in the city on business, bringing the baby girl to see the sights of the city. "Susie Clayton" has made friends also, and will endeavor to accompany him oftener. THE BEST PAPER Editorially strong negro newspapers in Texas are rather the exception than the rule, while the reverse is true of the outside papers. The Conservator, Bee, The Freeman are samples of well edited papers. Henry Clay Gray's Witness of Houston is, unquestionably the leader in Texas. The paper is filled from week to week with meaty editorial matter which gives it tone and individuality. Much may depend upon the constituency, but a grave error is committed when the editorial department of a paper is systematically neglected. AN EXPLODED SCARE. "A year of grace" is what the reciprocity schemers are calling the extension of fair tariff treatment by Germany to June 30, 1997. In point of time it is sixteen months of grace. In point of fact it will prove an indefinite period. There is not the slightest probability that Germany's discriminating tariff will be enforced against the products after June 30, 1997. There is scarcely a possibility that it will ever be enforced. Germany has had her lesson. She has learned that she cannot bulldoze, bluff or coerce the United States into the rewriting of tariff schedules for Germany's benefit. She has learned that to attempt to carry through the bluff would bring humiliation to her national pride and heavy loss to her national industries. After this the reciprocity schemers will have trouble in scaring anybody. TO MAKE A PAPER PAY. From the Southern Printer In telling the South Carolina Press Association how to make a country weekly pay, A. B. Jordan, among other good advice, gave this: "Impress upon delinquents the fact that the dollar they owe you is a just and honorable debt; that you expect them to pay it the very day it is due. Beat it into them. Demand from them the same prompt, honest, just business methods and dealings the business world demands of you. Let them understand that you employ the same stern, rigid, inflexible business methods that are employed by the greatest financial corporations in the world, and then will the accounts on your subscription book be worth dollar for dollar, your paper will command the admiration and respect of every one who reads it, the publisher will naturally be drawn in closer union with the leading business men of his community, and those of his patrons who scorned him for lax business methods will admire him for his strict adherence to common business principles." the negroes of this country are too still as regards to their just dues of recognition, owed them by their loyalty to the Republican party. The party in power from a national point of view. The negroes should make some effort to have the national government direct the protection to members of their race against mobs and lynch law. The State officers seem to know no duty; then isn't there some way to have the United States Marshals see a duty of protecting the life of American citizens from a mob. The power of President Roosevelt is mighty and is a reckoning spirit, but the negro must move on, some of them to the White House and show the President the conditions. A NEW DEAL What the negro must have in politics, is a new deal. This can only come by his affiliation with some new movement. The Independence League offers this opportunity. They will appreciate every vote. The old machine of both political parties understand each other, and their motto, "Give the Negro Nothing," is the jersey watchword. There are 70,000 negro voters in New York State and the only recognition given the negro comes through Tammany Hall, and a new cities throughout the State, Buffalo excepted. The present Democratic leaders have delivered the negro in three wards of Buffalo a gold brick its last time. The Republican machine is composed of men who are selfish and prejudiced, and who do not think the negro desires recognition. Although what little political recognition given the negro in this community, came through the Republican party, the Democrats for the last twenty years, to our personal recollection, have given recognition to every race in Buffalo bett the Afro-American citizen. If the Independent League can see the advisability of exerting some efforts in this direction, they can secure a strong ally in the negro vote in New York State to begin with. A new deal is what the negro is looking for throughout the North, and especially in New York State. "ABYSSINIA"—Where Convention Hall. When? April 30, May 1 and 2. New Jersey's lawyers recently paid a deserved tribute to their most distinguished associate, the one who has been longest in practice in the State and who, throughout its boundaries, is recognized as the dean of the profession—Cortlandt Parker, of Newark. In the course of an excellent address Mr. Parker said: "To my young friends, a word of advice: Stick to the profession—seek to elevate it. Do not seek by it to make money. Doing that makes it a trade—not a profession. Be fair in charges. Help the poor, with advice and with Natal is one of the most popular of the British provinces in South Africa, having a very large Kaffir population, a very small European population and a form of government which gives to the latter considerable though not complete independence and responsibility. Population of all sorts has increased rapidly, having nearly doubled in the last dozen years, and now amounts to about 1,000. But of this number the Europeans are only 82,542, while the Kaffirs are 877,388, the remainder being Assamese. Thus it will be seen that the whites necessarily the ruling class, under suffrage based on ownership or renting of real property, are only one tenth as numerous as the blacks and less than one-twelfth of the total population. Obviously any serious trouble with the blacks is sure to arouse the utmost excitement among this fraction of whites who are in actual control. There was trouble undoubtedly serious in February, which was only subdued by calling out the militia, by what was practically the declaration of martial law in the disturbed district and by the trial and conviction by courtmartial of a dozen of the blacks for murder of a white police officer. The Natal Government confirmed this sentence, and on the receipt of an order from the Colonial Office in London to suspend the execution of the sentence, the Ministry instantly resigned. At the request of the Governor the Ministers have consented to hold their officers pending further communication with Lord Elgin, the secretary of State for the Colonies. The first act of the Ministers was an extreme one and it is not surprising that it was so far reconsidered as to leave the way open to an adjustment of the difference with the home Government. On the one hand it is natural for the whites in Natal to feel that their interest in the treatment of the blacks and in the possible conduct of the blacks is controlling and their judgment decisive, on the other hand it is clearly the duty of the Home Government to insist on respect for their authority and the general principles they may find it necessary to adopt in the management of the inferior race. The relation of the whites and blacks is not wholly a local one by any means since the occurrence of real disorder in the colony could be met only by the aid of the Imperial Government, and there are millions of blacks in the area known as South Africa for dealing with what the home Government is in the long run accountable. The exact line at which force must be used is not easy to draw, but the home Government must. The situation in Natal is impaired and free to demit it. The for The Bee are notified collector will be sent to themcriptions and they will eitherpay or send a check or postalorder. The management willsubscribers with collectors. B. L. C.

The Shut-in society was organized in New York City in 1877, for the purpose of bringing spiritual comfort and good cheer, by the exchange of letters, by visits and other tokens of remembrance, to those "shut-in" by chronic illness from the outside world. The Society consists of Shut-in members, Associate members and Annual Subscribers. Annual fees: Shut-ins, fifty cents; Associates and Subscribers, one dollar. The Open Window, the magazine of the Society, is sent to all members on payment of their fees. The Maryland Branch, organized in 1904, has charge of the work of the Society in Maryland, Tennessee and the District of Columbia. Membership, March 12th, 1906: Maryland, Shut-ins, 105, Associate, 104, total, 209; Tennessee, Shut-ins, 10, Associate, total, 10; District of Columbia, Shut-ins, 4, Associate, 9, total 13; grand total, 232. Wonder bags, hot water bags, reading matter, birthday cards, etc., are among the gifts of the Branch to its Shut-in members. Wheel chairs, bed tables, bed rests, rocking chairs, etc. are loaned to them without cost, except freight. All invalid members of the Branch are eligible for membership in the Exchange maintained by the Branch for the sale of their work. Regular monthly meetings of the Branch are held in Baltimore on the last Saturday of each month from October to May inclusive, when reports of the different departments of the work Dr. Geo. H. Richardson, one of the most profound and logical writers in the United States, read a very interesting paper before the Bethel Literary and Historical Association last Friday evening on "Education in the Public Schools." There was a representative audience of educators present who listened attentively to Dr. Richardson's paper. He discussed in a clear and concise manner all phases of the public school system. No one is better qualified to do this than Dr. Richardson. He was-most-eloquent in many of his passages and logical and brilliant throughout his discourse. Whenever it is announced that he is to read a paper the people know they are to have a literary treat and on last Tuesday evening they were not disappointed. For three years he was a member of the Board of Trustees of the public schools and during that time he was always on the side of right and justice. He never knew what it was to discountenance merit and wherever merit existed it was rewarded. Many a graduate from the Normal School who failed to be a favorite but meritorious, Dr. Richardson appointed, and to-day these young ladies and gentlemen are among some of the best teachers in the public schools. He has a thorough knowledge of the school system and it was regretted when he retired from the board. Bishop Satterlee, of the District of Columbia, is trying to have the slums done away in this city. There are lots of people in this city who have no idea of the amount of suffering endured by their fellow-creatures. Consequently the action of the Bishop is commendable in every particular. The secretary of John Mitchell, President of the United Mine Workers of America, is a woman. Miss E. C. Morris. Andrew J. Dotger, of South Orange, N.

Take the colored Masons of the District of Columbia. They are as bitter towards each other as can be and from the cause of the split, it will be seen that they are at fault. The concurrent opinion of the white Masons of the United States are no regular Masons of color in the United States. That being a fact, why should the negro Masons class each other as bogus, spurious, clandestine, etc. as they do? Take the bone of contention, viz, the A. A. S. R., what becomes of the article of 1786, which states how many bodies of the rite should exist in the United States? The craft had better cease firing and close up, later they may be sorry if this advice is not followed. The Board of Education refused to hear the charges of Mrs. Anna E. Murray, wife of D. A.

YOUR HAIR. IS A MAGIC EFFECT ON GROW LONG AND COMPLEXION CREAM pharmacy FEATURED CREATURE ATTRACTS WIDE ATTENTION. Brought from South America by Michigan Man—Surprise to Scientific Man—Specimen Being Preserved. Battle Creek, Mich.—Edward Morris Brigham, of Battle Creek, the well-known South American traveler, has the only specimens in this country of a rare bird that has attracted much attention among scientific men, because it has four feet. Its scientific name is opisthocoma cristata and is known to the natives as the cirrana (typey). It is so contrary to the accepted order of things that a bird should have four feet that the discovery of this quadruped-bird was a surprise to the scientific men. Mr. Brigham's specimens are preserved in alcohol. Mr. Brigham found these birds in 1881-82 while making embryological studies in the interior of the great island of Marajo, at the mouth of the Amazon river. This bird confirms the evolutionary theory that birds descended from reptilian ancestors. Many fossil birds show marked reptilian characteristics, having teeth, etc. The whole evolutionary process is shown in the hatching of the sex of the clams. The bird, progressing in its embryological course, passes into its reptilian anecdotal type and before its evolution has carried it beyond the reptilian phase emerges from the egg as a quadruped animal, hatched from an egg laid by a two-footed two-winged bird. There are well-developed toes, each terminated by large well-developed claws. For many days after hatching and before it is able to fly the young uses these four claws to climb about the bushes and trees. But "fore" feet are purposeless for an ordinary bird. Then the modification begins and the fore limbs are developed into wings—the final post natal result. The adult specimen, in size and general appearance, resembles a phasian, but of course is no relation, as the digana is the sole survivor of its genus, its family, its order, of which geologists have found numerous representatives in a fossil state. Its geological range is quite limited, being found only along the margins of the Amazon and the Orinoco. The bird lives and perches on the leaves of the anings, a large water plant with heart-shaped leaves and calla-like flower, varying in height to 20 feet. The plant grows in masses on low, muddy margins of water courses. The cries uttered by the adult cicadas are unlike those of any other birds, and are so doleful and demonlacal that it sounds as if they were mourning for all their extinct relations. These birds are usually the most demonstrative in the night. PREDICTS AN IRON FAMINE. Consul General at Paris Suggests That Coal Be Sold to Europe in Exchange. Washington.—Consul General Mason of Paris, predicts in a report made public, that the United States may run short of iron within a century through the continued yearly absorption of 35,000,000 tons, which is more than one-third of the world's total consumption. He suggests the sale of American coal to Europe in exchange for iron, especially in view of the prospective advance of British coal prices. The world has only 10,000,000,000 tons of iron ore available, Germany, Russia and France each possessing more than this country. In the comparison of coal quantities the consul states that the advantage of North America over European countries is overwhelming; and that with what is now known the present 280,000,000 tons annual output of American bittuminous coal can be maintained for hundreds of years without exhaustion while the European coal fields are running out. On the other hand, the foremost British metal journal predicts an iron famine in about half a century. ENGLISH PALACES COSTLY. Large Amounts Are Spent to Maintain Homes of King Edward in Great Britian. London.—Some curious facts in relation to the maintenance of royal palaces have been revealed in the report of the auditors general on the civil service and revenue accounts of the year 1904-5, just issued. The extension of the electric lighting in the staterooms and other apartments of St. James' palace, which is partly in the occupation of the king, cost $3,400. Wine cellars were constructed which cost $5,400. Almost $20,000 has been expended installing the electric light at Windsor castle. Laying down India rubber under the arches of the main entrances of Buckingham palace, so as to obviate the noise of vehicles driving through, cost $1,725. At Hampton court palace, $2,40 has been expended on altering and enlarging the famous vinery. The total outlay on the royal palaces was $294,745. Hand Tells Time of Day. A man in New York is said to be able to tell the time of day by looking at the palm of his hand. Is the atmosphere so grimy there that the various stages of its cumulative effect upon the human hand may be noted with accuracy from hour to hour by an attentive and experienced observer? Precious Metals, Melted in a Solid Lump, Found on the Beach Near Oregon Town. Albany, Ore.—A large piece of silver bullion washed up on the coast at Newport, Ore., has set agog the imagination of the denizens of that storm-swept neighborhood, and the days of Spanish gailes laden with wealth and the ocean piracies of primitive America are recalled. J. G. Crawford, an Albany photographer and scientist, is the discoverer of the wealth disgorged by the ocean. While searching for rare specimens of animal and mineral life that are to be found on the Oregon coast during the winter months Crawford ran across a large piece of mixed silver and gold, symmetrically shaped as if the two metals had been melted and run together in a vessel of some kind. Speculation as to the source of the rare find was immediately rife, but that it came from the depths of the ocean is the only certain information obtainable. The fact that the two metals are melted together as if they had been thrown into a brass kettle or some such receptacle would indicate that it is not from some of the wrecks of wealth laden ships of recent days. Few miners of to-day would run their gold and silver together in a single vessel. An old miner estimated that the find is worth several hundred dollars. Crawford will have it assayed. UNCLE SAM PAYS THE PIPER Winnippeg, Manitoba.—The sweep of American silver from Canada has begun. All over the dorsion the banks are collecting American silver and shipping it to Montreal, whence it is being sent to Washington and there exchanged for gold. The removal of American silver from Canada will be a good thing for the banks and profitable to the government. The banks will be paid three-eighths per cent. for collecting it and the government will bear all transportation charges. It is estimated the government will clear at least $500,000. It is calculated that at the present time there is $500,000 worth of United States silver circulating in Canada, and when it is removed Canadian coin will take its place. The difference in value between the bullion in a coin and its face value is about 55 per cent, so the government will reap a profit of about 50 cents on every 50-cent piece, 25 on the American coin and 25 on its own coin issued to replace the American money. In many portions of the Canadian northwest discounts as high as 20 and 25 per cent are charged on American silver. Nickels and copper are wholly refused. GETS CASH THROUGH STORY London Lawyers, After Long Search, Hear Their Man Is an Engine Driver in Pennsylvania. Sayre, Pa.—Through a story of an operation published in a local paper and clipped by a newspaper in London, John Spiros, one of the oldest engine drivers of the Lehigh Valley Railroad company, who runs the Black Diamond express, is one on the happiest men in the valley just now, for he has received information that a legacy amounting to $25,000 is awaiting him in London. A law firm, which had charge of his aunt's estate, has been looking for him for two years, and a reprinted article telling the story of the unique operation, that was observed in a London newspaper, gave the lawyers their cue. The operation was to remove a nail from his neck. The bit of metal got into his anatomy 26 years ago while he was attending a Fourth of July celebration. A cannon exploded near him and he sustained several minor injuries. One wound was in his neck, but the surgeons found no foreign substance there on examination. The old wound did not annoy him until several weeks ago, when his neck began to swell badly, and he consulted Dr. Ott, who found the nail with the ald of an X-ray machine. SACCO FAST FOR 45 DAYS. Hungarian Smoked 952 Cigarettes During the Test and Lost Only 55 Pounds—Drank Much Water. London.—Sacco, the Hungarian fasting man, completed his 45 days' fast and claims the record. During the 45 days Sacco has smoked 952 cigarettes and drunk 22 bottles of table water. After the conclusion of his fast the chart showed that he had lost 55 pounds in weight. His respiration was 23 and his pulse 84. He said he was feeling very well and in the opinion of the doctors his condition was very satisfactory. His hut in Hengler's circus has been kept extremely hot, but in the last few days he found it impossible to keep himself warm. Four days ago he appeared to be quite ill, and the management tried to persuade him to give up his task, but he replied that he would sooner die than do so. There is not the slightest suspicion as to the genuineness of the test, and Sacco's complete abstention from everything except water and cigarettes. Not Called a Lawbreaker. The man who dodges about the country for the purpose of evading a constable with a subpoena may not technically be a lawbreaker, but it is difficult to keep from suspecting that he has no overpowering desire to see justice done. BAN ON AQUA PURA. WOMAN HAS NOT BRUNK WA- TER IN 45 YEARS. Sight or Sound of Liquid Acts Like a Poison on Her System—Tea, Coffee, Lemonade or Beer are Her substitutes. Ogden, Utah.—"Water makes me ill. Sometimes the mere sight it makes me," I that is the reason Mrs. parah Mills, of this city, gives for not having drunk water for as years. "My substance from water is not a matter of rule," she says. "I simply don't care for water as a beverage, and, after having gone without it tor a new months and surrender no ill eneas, I got I never thought of drinking it any more than I would think of taking a glass of poison. And it is a sort of poison to my system. When I was a little girl I remember that often a glass of water would make me deathly sick." "What do you drink as a substitute for water?" was asked of Mrs. Mills. "Tea, coffee, lemonade and in the summer beer are my principal beverages. But even of these I drink sparingly. Somehow I don't crave liquids. When I am not feeling well I can go hours and hours without drinking anything." "Do you drink tea or coffee whenever you are thirsty, Mrs. Mills?" "No, indeed. I am not addicted to tea drinking at all, as one might suspect I would be. I rarely drink more than one cup a day, usually at dinner, and never between meals. It is the same with coffee. Milk I never touch." Mrs. Mills was feeling indisposed the other day. She said that when she sat down to luncheon she felt worn out, having traveled much recently. "And do you know that the mere pouring of water at the table made me feel worse?" she said. "I thought for awhile that I should have to leave the table. "I cannot state the scientific reason for my loathing of water, having never consulted a physician on the subject. Some people have suggested that it is all imagination; that I have gotten so in the habit of refusing a drink of water that to drink one after these years of abstinence would affect me psychologically and in no other way. That isn't true. Water seems to poison my whole system, and that's all there is to it." MAYOR'S PAY IS $1 A YEAR Football Man Chosen to Govern Franklin Won't Grow Under Big Pay. Franklin, Pa.—William J. McConnell, Franklin's mayor elect, is one of the younger generation of Franklin, being but 28 years old. He is the son of William J. McConnell, a widely known oil producer in his day, an was born in Franklin. He was graduated from the Cheltenham military academy in 1897 and from Yale Law school in 1900. While in college he took an active interest in athletics. He was on the Yale football squad, and but for the death of his father during the football season would doubtless have made the team He was considered the champion heavyweight boxer and wrestler at Yale. After leaving college he played professional football with the famous eleven of the Duquesque Country and Athletic club, of Pittsburg. Mr. McConnell has served four years in the city council, and for two years has been deputy mayor. He is engaged in the oil and gas business, but has plenty of time for the duties of mayor, a job which will yield him the munificent sum of one dollar per year. New York—In a letter received by the owners of the bark Helen A. Wyman, Capt. David Van Horn tells now he "turned a trick" on the German government in German southwest Africa and sent home over $7,000 collected from the Germans for demurrage. Incidentally he reports the bark is coming with a cargo of mahogany, said to be the first brought in an American vessel in competition with the French trade. The Helen A. Wyman left Rosario last July with a cargo of hay to be delivered to the German government at Luderitz bay. Arriving at his destination the captain found 30 sailing vessels and steamers lying in the roadstead. A war was in progress inland and the German government had its hands full. Capt. Van Horn was in no hurry, though. He simply reported his arrival, filed his application for wharfage room and sat down and waited. The wait lasted 52 days. Later he presented a bilt for demurrage at the rate of $135 a day, and this was paid by the government. Enter for Matrimony Five pretty, but dowerless, eastern maidens, all graduates of Wellesley college, lunched at a fashionable Denver, Col., hotel and formed a unique matrimonial club. They mixed their names to a contract to receive marriage proposals from men of good family who have money. Not desiring to reveal their identity, they will not permit use of their names, but as a guarantee of good faith have consented to the publication of their pictures over numbers, by means of which correspondence may be carried on. One of the girls is from Georgia, one from Michigan, two from Ohio and one from Indiana. MANY CANDIDATES AT YALE Memors Won by Acadia College Students Turn the Tide from Harvard —School Becoming Favorite. New Haven.—Yale has become the star college in the United States for Canadians. A few years ago Harvard attracted them, but since Rev. George B. Cutten came down to Yale from Acadia college, in Nova Scotia, and besides winning a center place on the varsity football team took all the prizes in sight, the Canadian tide has turned New Havenward. This year little Acadia college with its 300 students ranks as the fourth college in the world in number of students studying under President Hadley. When Mr. Cutten went back to Acadia he told the students there of the great inducements that Yale offered for Canadians, and in the spring of 1902 the Yale officials received word from Acadia that six of her students were planning to come to Yale the following fall if satisfactory inducements could be made regarding tuition. The Yale people announced at once that the tuition would be free to the students who wanted to come here from Acadia, and the following fall six men from that college matriculated with the senior class. Of those six, three are now members of the Yale faculty. They all took their degrees from Yale in the following June and made such a brilliant showing that they won from the American students many prizes and scholarships. Four of the men who tried for scholarships and fellowships won about $2,500 during that year, making a phenomenal record. News of the success of the six pioneers from Acadia college, which is situated at Wolfville, Nova Scotia, within a stone's throw of Grand Pre, the home of Evangeline, has so spread through Canada that this year there are 25 students enrolled in the University from British America, and Yale is offering special inducements for more to come on. Harvard in the meantime is inserting advertisements for students in the various Canadian college organs. MONKEYS WILL BE STUDIED Chicago University Students to Be Given Opportunity to Investigate Species. Chicago.—The top floor of the physiology laboratory at the University of Chicago is beginning to look like the zoological section of a city park. Carpenters are building new cages and repairing old ones, so that the monkeys which will reach the university in a few days will have a commodious place in which to live. These monkeys will not be used as an attraction for visitors but will be studied in the classroom by the students and in the private laboratories by the professors. For some time the medical authorities have been contemplating the use of monkeys for dissecting purposes. Because of the extreme likeness of the anatomy of the monkey to that of man it is thought much more can be learned of the human organism. It is probable several hundred animals will be used in the work during the next three months. Another subject of importance to the scientists of the university is being discussed. Several of the professors have suggested that while the animals are being used along medical lines it would be a good scheme to study their language. The medical students of the university are enthusiastic over the idea and many of this year's classes have intimated that they intend to devote much time to the study of monkey language. ENGLAND GROWS SOBERER In Past Five Years Britain Has Spent $111,000,000 Less for Drink Than in Preceding Half Decade. London.—One hundred and eleven million dollars less for drink was spent by the people of the United Kingdom in the last five years than in the five years before that. Revenue returns prove that the drinking habit is continuously declining. In England the average expenditure for drink per head was $20 a year; in Scotland, $15.50; in Ireland, $15.25. All classes consume less strong drink than they did five years ago. This holds good even in the army and navy measures, where heavy drinking has been long considered an evidence of manliness. For instance, in the royal artillery mess at Woolwich, the largest in the British army, three-quarters of the officers of all ages drink water except on special occasions. The new house of commons apparently typifies the tendency to temperance. The catering department, which laid in a heavy stock of wines, has found that more than 45 per cent of the members drink water almost habitually, and that out of 670 members, 170 are professional teetotalers. Tender Bit of Romance A Dover, Okla., man sent a shirt to the laundry and my mistake a woman's nightie was returned to him. He looked her up, mingled his blushes with hers while exchanging the goods and later married her. Hows that for a romantic shirt tale in society circles? Hatpins for Women Those two Kentucky women who fought a duel with pistols, and shot an innocent man a block or two away, should have tried hatpins. Thereby they would at least have narrowed the circle of danger. NO TRADE IN CHINA. ORIENTAL BUYING CONFINED TO FOREIGNERS. Only Outside Firms Purchase American Goods and Cotton Is Still Boycotted—New Source of-Bubber Supply Found. Washington.—Special Agent Burrill, in a report to the department of commerce' and labor, describes the trade conditions in South China, stating that it will take time to recover from the effects of the boycott. As yet the only movement of American goods at Hong-Kong is confined almost exclusively to the foreign firms, and for transshipment to French China and points beyond. American cotton goods have not met with the success in southern China that they have in Manchuria and the report suggests that as the Chinese of the south demand cloth full of sizing, American manufacturers should cater to their whims. The United States is pushing Germany for second place in the trade of Argentina, says Consul General Coles' advises from Buenos Ayres. Great Britain leads by selling annually there $65,000,000 goods, Germany and America each averaging nearly $25,000,000 sales. The consul reports the need of an American bank in Buenos Ayres. Spain is likewise seeking the Latin American markets, according to Consul General Ridgely of Barcelona, and is increasing manufactured exports over $1,000,000 a year, the largest item of which is cotton goods, made from America. The United States is not meeting with the same commercial success in Newfoundland as in the dominion of Canada, reports Consul Cornellus of St. Johns. In the dominion the American sales are 62 per cent of the imports, leading Great Britain by over $90,000,000, while in Newfoundland the two competing countries ranked nearly even, after the American trade dropped back $240,000 to $2,750,000. This, the consul adds, is notwithstanding the open trade door exists in Newfoundland, and the British enjoy 33 1-3 per cent. preferential tariff advantage in Canada. Consul General Iddings writes from Cairo about the opening of the upper Nile regions by the new railway from Berber to Port Sudan on the Red sea. The other new Egyptian line, which has just been completed, runs from Karelma to Abu Hamed and forms part of a vast irrigation up Kordofan, and establishing communication between El Obeld and Omdurman. A new source of rubber supply is reported by Consul General Guenther of Frankfort, who quotes a European authority as stating that in Liberia there are 20,000 square miles covered with dense virgin rubber forest. PLANS INVENTION IN "PEN" Convict Hopes to Be Made Wealthy When Sentence Is Over—Refuses to Reveal Scheme. Philadelphia.—In the eastern penitentiary George Dickenson, "Gentleman Burglar," who was sent to prison December 5, 1902, to serve a sentence of 15 years, is engaged in perfecting an invention which he hopes will make him a wealthy man when he regains his freedom. For the reason that patent rights for his invention have not yet been obtained, the convict and his keepers refuse to reveal its nature, but it is understood to be something used in the manufacture of articles of clothing. Dickinson is an expert machinist, and the prison authorities have afforded him every convenience for the development of his invention that is proper under the rules of the penitentiary. Dickinson had lived in Philadelphia three years and a half prior to 1902. He lodged In Germantown, and was employed as foreman of a shirt-waist factory. Later Dickinson became the junior partner in a firm of shirt-waist manufacturers. EIGHT STAMPS AT $2.501. New York.—A rare set of eight unused United States postage stamps in the collection of A. H. Scholle sold for $2,501 at auction recently. The face value of the stamps is $1.10. They are a complete set on the issue of August 14, 1861. When the civil war began there was a quantity of the 1857-60 issue of stamps in the preceding states. To prevent their use by the confederate postpasters, the United States authorities declared that these stamps were no longer to be accepted, and the issue of August 14, 1861, was hurriedly prepared. They did not give satisfaction, however, and in the following month a new set was issued. These stamps are the earliest that can be used for mailing. All previous issues have no value except to philatelists. A Boston firm was the purchaser. It is supposed that the stamps were bought for the post office department, which is lacking a set. Two-Cent Phones Berlin is to have telephones on street corners. Twenty booths will be erected at the most frequented spots and inside will be placed telephones which can be used by the public on inserting two cents in the slot. Each booth will be crowned by a clock with four faces run electrically from an observatory so that the exact time can always be seen. Guthrie, Okla.—A story has just leaked out here in regard to President Roosevelt's lobo-wolf hunt in Oklahoma last spring, when he was accompanied by Cecil Lyons, of Texas, and John R. Abernathy, whom he recently appointed United States marshal of Oklahoma. The facts have been bottled up ever since the hunt until during a banquet, which was given recently by the citizens of Frederick in Abernathy's honor, when half the population of the town were taking the experiences and incidents of the president's trip. It was related that during one of their long chases after wolves Kewelt and Abernathy were compelled to enter a farmer's corn field or order to follow a feeling lobo they dismounted and were about to remount after passing through a fence when the farmer appeared on the scene. "Here, you fellows, get out of this field," angrily exclaimed the farmer "You have no right in here, and, besides, you are tramping down my corn Get out of here, or I'll have you arrested.". Not wishing to advance further against the frate farmer's orders, the two wolf hunters, the president and the Oklahoma cow puncher, did as they were ordered. The lobo got away Troopers of the Eighth cavalry, who were near by guarding the pasture line confirm the truth of the story Of the Total Population of State One Half Were Born There - Other * Topeka.—The total population of Kansas is 1,544,968, but this does not begin to tell the whole story of this decennial census issued in the form of a report. There are figures about almost everything, from the number of babies, the pride of the state, down to the number of peach trees. The population has increased 100,000 in the past five years, and about 200,000 in the last ten years. Babies in Kansas under five years old, 166,762. Persons over 80 years old, 7,062. Persons over 50 years old, 1,968 Men subject to call in case of war, 316,735. Persons who work for a living, 500, 059. Of this number 251,956 are farmers Of the total population 53.57 per cent. are over 21 years of age School children between five and 20 years, 532,637. Negroes in the state, 51,067. Germans in the state, 43,124 Of the total population of Kansas, one-half was born in Kansas. CURE FOR STOMACH ACHE Pulling Teeth Said to Be a Remedy for That and Other Ills—Test in German School. New York.—The board of education is said to be considering the advisability of establishing in this city, with the aid of the legislature, a free dentistry for school children where they must submit to examination and treatment of their teeth. The board gets the idea from Germany, where the city of Strassburg is conducting a school of dentistry on an experimental scale. Out of 12,691 pupils who were taken to the Strassburg dentistry, 7,065 had their teeth filled and 7,955 had teeth extracted. Out of 2,269 children in Strassburg between three and six years old only 362 were found to have sound teeth. Of 2,103 pupils between six and eight years only 160 had sound teeth. Headache, earache and stomach ache as well as toothache, are said to have almost vanished from the Strassburg schools since the free compulsory dentistry was established. PROVIDING FOR HIS "BOSS" Mr. Carnegie to the Rescue of a Pension Bureau Employs Who Suffered Reduction. Washington, D. C.-J. H Larcomb, an 80-year-old employee of the pension bureau, is going to resign his position, and will live in comfort the rest of his days through the generosity of one of the "boys" that used to work for him. In the years gone by Mr. Larcomb was a boss telegraph operator in Pittsburgh, and Andrew Carnegie was one of the "boys." Since then Mr. Carnegie has prospered and Mr. Larcomb has given the efforts of his latter life to the government. Recently Mr. Larcomb was reduced in salary to $900 per annum and the reduction caused him to worry. A friend of his, knowing of the former association with Mr. Carnegie, wrote to the steel magnate and explained the circumstances. In reply, the friend was instructed to tell Mr. Larcomb to quit the government service, and that he (Mr. Carnegie) would amply provide for his former "boss" during the remainder of his life. Raise Wage Scale on Stork. BAKE WAGE SCALE on STOCK. Hereafter it will cost more to be born in Ellwood City, Pa., because the doctors have declared war on the stork. They have organized and formulated a wage scale. One baby will now cost its fond papa as much as two did formerly, for the price per baby has advanced from $10 to $20. Visits to homes of patients are raised from one to two dollars. People there say the town is so healthful that the doctors are obliged to raise the price of visits to make a fair living. MOCK DUCK, A NOTORIOUS CHINAMAN OF NEW YORK. Heads Hip Sing Tong Faction— Knows All Wickedness and Could Solve Many of the Mysteries of Chinatown. New York.—Mock Duck is the most motorous Chinamen in New York, but his face tells little of the man's char- acter, and the most careful scrutiny of it would leave you in doubt as to whether it situated the description of its owner, as given by the Hip Sing Tong people—who are his own—or the On Leong Tong crowd who are his enemies. Of Mock Duck, the Hip Sing folk say: "This is a decent, law-abiding young Chinese boy of 29 years, who has been bounded from pillar to post by his archenemies, the followers of Tom Lee. At times, it is true, he has shot, but only in self-defense, and if two or three On Leone Tong notches are on his gun, they are there for men who deserved to die in his laundry uptown he attends to business, and only comes down to Mott of Doyers street on pleasure bent, or to attend meetings of his beloved society, which was formed solely to further the interests of reform in Chinatown. He is no Highbinder, does not wear a shirt of mall, and would never think of starting a riot. Mock Duck, in short, is a model citizen." From the On Leone Tong we get this analysis of the face: It is that of a cruel, crafty, mysterious, bad man—the worst Chinaman in New York. There is murder in that bright eye, those stern lips, that firm chin. There is duplicity and treachery in every feature. Mock Duck is the active leader of a gang of Highblinders who want to kill off the respectable class of Chinamen in New York, and run Chinatum for the lowest purposes. The troubles from time immemorial in Pell street and its tributaries are directly traceable to the Hip Sing Tong, of which Mock Duck is the avowed leader. He is not to be trusted in any way." As a matter of fact, Mock Duck is no angel. He has been mixed up in very unpleasant things, has killed his man ```markdown ``` The Most Historious Celestial of New York City and been nearly killed himself on several occasions. Since the founder of the flip Sing Tong, one Gum Kee went back to China with $40,000 of tribute money, some five years ago, Mock Duck has been the boss of the outfit, and has caused the virtuous On Leong Tong all its trouble When the On Leong Tong had so firmly intrenched itself, under the leadership of Tom Lee, that there seemed no dislending them, it was Mock Duck's fertile brain which conceived the idea of enlisting the aid of the Parkhurst society. The On Leongs controlled all the gambling privileges in Chinatown, and stood in with the police authorities. Mock Duck's gang coveted these privileges. Then went Mock Duck to Frank Moss agent of the Parkhurst society, and continued him that the On Leongs were villains and the Hip Sing saints, who wanted to reform Chinatown in all its branches. Would the Parkhurst people help Mock Duck, the reformer. The halt found a bliter; the Parkhurst people began to raid the joints of the On Leong Tong on testimony furnished by the Hip Sing bunch, and that started the war. Since then the history of the feud between the two societies is fresh in every ones memory. At least a score of Chinamen have been murdered, and twice as many wounded. Mock Duck, on various occasions, has had to leave New York, either to avoid the law or to escape his enemies. On each time that he returned trouble has broken out afresh in the little streets that harbor so many thousands of Mongolian coolies. Mock Duck's people say that this has been merely a coincidence. The On Leong people say otherwise. Peace has now been established officially, between the two Tongs. It may be real peace, it may not be. Mock Duck, whatever his intentions regarding the future of Chinatown, is at present in no condition to carry them out, being in jail. Yes, the whites man has got him, and he languishes in a call in the Tombs on the charge of trying to bribe two police officers. There was a raid on Pearl street a few nights ago, and as the officers were bringing the prisoners down to the patrol wagon Mock Duck crept out of the shadows and offered a policeman $20 to allow his cousin, Huei Lee, to escape. The policeman told him to "git." But Mock then appealed to another cop and raised the ante to $50. This fidelity to the family caused the officers to take him along with the prisoners, and on being arraigned before a judge next day Mock Duck was committed to the Tombs under $3,000 bonds. Washington—Down in old Virginia the new year was marked by an event of historical interest, not only to the artistic contingent, but to the world at large. This was the replacing of that priceless art treasure—Houdon's famous statue of Gen. Washington—in the ```markdown ``` HOUDON'S STATUE OF WASHINGTON MODELED FROM LIFE. HOUDON'S STATUE OF WASHINGTON MODELED FROM LIFE. capitol, which has just been remodified. For 18 months, in a little cast-iron fireproof house, built specially for the purpose in the capitol square, this invaluable piece of statuary has been kept invisible to mortal eye. Rangers and sightseers have gazed with curiosity and longing at the little house; guides have told them what it contained, and with this they had to be satisfied, so jealously did Virginia guard the only statue made from life of her immortal son. When the time arrived for the remodeling of the ancient capitol, planned by Thomas Jefferson, the Virginia legislature appropriated an adequate sum for the safe removing and keeping of the Houdon statue. Experts from this city came to Richmond and personally superintended the work of taking it down from the pedestal on which it was placed in 1796 in the retunda of the capitol. And these same experts saw that it was replaced with the same care. Jean Antoine Houdon, the greatest portrait sculptor of the eighteenth century, at the suggestion of Franklin, came to America in 1788 and spent two weeks at Mount Vernon, where he modeled the cast from life, the assembly of Virginia having previously made an appropriation for a status to the "Father of His Country." Houdon, whose name will be handed down for generations to come, died in Paris in 1828. Gen. Lafayette was much pleased with the statue of Washington, and pronounced it a fac-simile of Washington's person. The statue was erected in 1796, and represents Gen. Washington its uniform in a standing position. Time has dealt lightly with it, and it bears only here and there slight marks of its age. On the base appears the following inscription, written by Madison: "The general assembly of Virginia have caused this statue to be erected as a monument of affection and gratitude to George Washington, who, uniting to the endowment of the hero and virtues of the patriot, and exerting both in establishing the liberties of his country, has rendered his name dear to his fellow-citizens, and given to the world an example of true glory. Done in the year of Christ, one thousand seven hundred and eighty-eight, and in the year of the Commonwealth the twelfth." GILBERT QUITS CONGRESS. Fort Wayne, Ind.—Newton W. Gilbert, representative in congress from the Twelfth Indiana district, will shortly resign his seat to accept a judgeship in the Philippines, which position has P NEWTON W. GILBERT. be offered him by the president. Congressman Gilbert will give up his seat some time during the present session. Mr. Gilbert has been appointed one of the 25 judges of first instance on the Philippine islands. He will leave for the Philippines July I. His salary will be $4,500. The announcement of his selection was made to him recently at Washington by Secretary Taft and he at once accepted and started for homes to arrange his personal affairs. Want to Be Mixed.

MISSOURI WIPES OUT FOR TUNES OF TWO TILLERS. Several Instances Chronicled in Which Kerratic Stream Has Eaten Up Livelihoods of.Agriculturists —Tale of One Venture. Omaha, Neb.—The peculiar manner in which the erratic Missouri river eats up fortunes in a day and carries the work of a lifetime away, has been ex- emplified again near Omaha. In 1858 Samuel J. Belville, of Herman, Neb., then eleven years old, and his father came to Omaha. Soon after their arrival a real estate agent tried, in vain, to induce the elder Belville to invest in city property. The prospects were not then alluring, and the Belvilles, who wanted a farm, declared that the city was no place in which to bring up children. At this point in the discussion the boy, Sam, pulled out his silver watch and looked at it with boyish pride. The real estate agent saw it and said: "I'll tell you what I'll do, boy. Give me that watch and I'll give you this block of land in exchange. Just hold it, my boy, as an investment." But the boy said his watch cost $35, and he wasn't going to trade it for a few rods of Nebraska dirt. The family moved to Burt county, and the father took up a claim. Twenty years passed. They had improved the claim until it was valued at $30,000. Then, one spring, the nickle Missouri, all of a sudden switched over to the west just far enough to sweep away the Belville homestead. In the meantime, the son had grown to manhood and also owned a farm. This also has just been wiped out by the river, the two changes in which have left the family almost penniless. The block of land which the boy re- fused to take in 1868 in exchange for his silver watch is at Sixteenth and Farnam streets. It is now worth $1,500,000. MAY BUILD GIANT WARSHIP Vessel Larger Than Famous Dreadnaught Urged by Bonaparte for Navy. Washington.—Secretary Bonoparte appeared before the house committee on naval affairs in support of an increase of the navy. He advocated an appropriation this year for two 16,000-ton battleships and in case congress does not see fit to provide for two such ships, he urged the construction of one 18,400-ton battleship. In this recommendation he surpassed Admiral Dewey, who surprised the committee by advocating 18,000-ton battleships after the type of the English battleship Dreadnaught. The secretary advocated the building of four destroyers at a cost of $3,000,000, two submarines costing $500,000, one gunboat costing $600,000, and two river gunboats at a cost of $208,000. The secretary's estimates for construction aggregate $23,200,000. Of this sum the chief item is $15,000,000 for the two battleships recommended. The cost of the two proposed scout ships which Secretary Bonaparte said were not indispensable is estimated at $4,000,000. Secretary Bonaparte advocated the 19,400-ton battleship, because, he said, American constructors felt this tonnage was necessary to carry ten 12-inch guns such as the Dreadnaught is carrying. PICK DUCK BY ELECTRICITY Stroudsburg, Pa.—Hereafter ducks will be plucked by electricity. The invention of two young men, Lee Tyerman and Benjamin H. Hursh will, it is said, do away with the tedious process of "dry picking" the birds by hand. Tyerman conceived the idea. He saw a bolt of lightning hit a telephone wire, run down the pole and electrocute a duck. Every feather in its body was loosened. "If the lightning can do it," he thought, "why won't an artificial electric current answer the same purpose?" The scheme was tried and worked perfectly. Under a high voltage the feathers of the duck are loosened, but it is said the meat is not at all injured. Dry-plucked ducks bring three cents a pound more than ducks treated by the scalding process. Duck farmers in these parts already consider Tyerman as great a man as Issac Newton or Ben Franklin. SHE STILL WORKS AT 102. Mrs. Lovett Celebrates Her Birthday —Born in Jefferson's Term, and Metals Heath. Tarrytown, N. Y.—Mrs. Lavinia Lovett celebrated her one hundred and second birthday at her home in Beekman avenue. Among the many who called to congratulate her were Mr. and Mrs. John D. Archbold, who drove up from their country seat and brought Mrs. Lovett a huge bouquet Mrs. Lovett was born in Sleepy Hollow during President Jefferson's term, and has resided in this section all her life. Her husband was born in 1800 and died in 1878. Mrs. Lovett has large real estate holdings here and looks after rapals, collects rents, and transactions her business personally. During the fall she was quite ill, but now she is enjoying good health, and besides caring for all her business does her own housework. Monument to Mark Grave of Bell Ringer of July 8, 1776—Burial Place Long a Mystery. Philadelphia, Pa.—The Daughters of the American Revolution have decided that the grave of the man who rang the Liberty bell when it announced to the world the signing of the Declaration of Independence, shall no longer remain without a fitting monument. Philadelphia chapter, at its meeting in the church house, decided to erect such a monument over the obscure grave of William Hurry, who tugged at the rope on July 8, 1776, when the bell above proclaimed liberty throughout the land. For many years no one knew where the ringer of the bell had been buried. About a year ago the sexton of Pine Street Presbyterian church, in poking about among the old graves in the church yard, found a dilapidated stone, half buried and covered with moss. He soon uncovered the inscription, and found that he had discovered the long-sought-for grave of William Hurry. The grave has been cared for since that time, but the old stone is slowly crumbling away. The ladies of Philadelphia chapter, D. A. R., took the matter in hand. At the meeting a resolution that the chapter procures and cause to be erected over the grave of William Hurry a suitable monument was passed unanimously. Hurry died October 22, 1871, at the age of 60, and for 100 years his name was forgotten. Terre Haute, Ind.—A year ago the story of "the man without a country" was printed everywhere, and the closing statement that finally the comedy of which Terre Haute is the seat had accepted him and sent him to the poor farm to rest the remainder of his days, was thought to be the last publicity of this old fellow, past 85 years. He said he had no kin and no friends; that he had been passed along by county and township authorities for several years; that he could not work for a living, and wanted some place to die in peace. Clarence C. Shipp, of Indianapolis, had given him a home. Shipp says that the old man is Daniel Flynn, who was a prosperous contractor for the Missouri, Kansas & Texas road, and that he disappeared eleven years ago from Oklahoma, where Shipp was his friend. Shipp, now a resident of Indianapolis, learned of the inmate of the poor farm here, and investigation, such as he had made in many other cases, disclosed the man's Identity. Shipp says that at the time Flynn was in Oklahoma he had a number of well to do relatives there, and an effort will be made to get in communication with them. If they are not found the old man will have a home with him. MAN TOYS WITH LEG IRONS Hobbles Himself So Effectually That He Wears Shackles All Night— Solves Problem Finally. Paris, Ill.—Curiosity as to the working of a pair of irons sent by Sheriff Summers, of this city, to the sheriff at Marshall got Roy Claypool, a telegraph operator of this city, into an awkward predicament. Claypool was on the train going south and noticed the irons lying on the floor of the baggage car. He adjusted them to his own legs, and after a time attempted to take them off, breaking the key in the operation. The train crew was unable to render any assistance, and Claypool was still wearing the irons when he arrived at his destination, which was West Union. The efforts of his friends there were attended with no better success and he was obliged to wear the shackles all night, returning to this city, to enlist the aid of Sheriff Summers. Owing to the key being broken off in the lock, the latter could do nothing, but a local jeweler finally succeeded in solving the problem with a file. Claypool left later in the day for West Union, taking another pair of irons to the Clark county sheriff and promising to the Clark county sheriff and GHOSTS FORCE PAYMENT. Police Chief Uses Novel Method to Get Fines from Prisoners Who Liked Jail. Hazelton, Pa.-Chief of Police Edward Jones, of West Hazelton, has a new method of inducing recalcitrant prisoners to pay their fines. Two foreigners were arrested charged with violating a borough ordinance. They had money, but refused to pay the fine imposed by Burgess Hugh McGeehan. They were remanded and Chief Jones locked them in cells adjoining one which he told them was haunted by the ghost of a suicide. During the night Jones entered the quiet lockup and made mysterious rappings on the iron bars. Then he emitted blood-curdling yells. The two foreign prisoners were almost paralyzed with fright, and when dawn came they begged to be allowed to pay their fines and escape from the "haunted" lockup.

Odd Lantern Is of Great Historical Interest—Made for Famous Emperor Hideyoshi Over 300 Years Ago. Boston.—Recently there has been erected on the edge of the pond of the public garden just above the bridge on the north toward Beacon street, and opposite the little island, what appears at first to be a curiously ornamented lighthouse. In point of fact it is in a sense a lighthouse for just such a place. It is the kind of lighthouse the Japanese have had in their public and private gardens from time immemorial, known as garden lanterns. This particular garden lantern is a unique and historically interesting specimen. It came from the famous Momoya palace garden in the suburbs of Kioto and is more than 300 years old. It is of cast iron and consists of a circular base about a foot in height, from which rises a column about four feet on which the drumlike and highly ornamented light section of the tantern rests. With the circular brick base on which it has been placed, the lantern rises some 14 feet above the path at the edge of the pond. The windows of the drum section are ornamented with a tracery design in which foliage, animals and birds are combined in curious manner. Next comes a relief lotus flower. The head of the column is also decorated with a relief ornamentation, as is the body of the column and the metal base. The feeling of top-heaviness is lost in the open-work design at the top, through which the light filters. The lantern is one of the oldest of its kind in existence. Most of the garden lanterns are made of stone, and few of them are ever made as large as this specimen or in just this kind of design; they usually take the temple-pagoda form. This lantern was made for the famous Japanese emperor. Hideyoshi. THE JAPANESE LANTERN. about 1580, and was placed in the gardens of his great Moyoma palace, of which not a vestige now stands. Even its stones have been carried to every corner of the empire and are treasured as souvenirs, which may give some idea of the kind of prize which Boston has secured. The emperor, Hideyoshi, is a great figure in Japanese history—a sort of Caesar or Napoleon. He rose from humble origin at a time when Japan was rent and torn with civil wars and petty strifes. He was a great soldier, and eventually, with his invincible armies, he solidified the empire, codified the laws and perfected the feudal system which existed in Japan to within the middle of the last century. He might very well be compared to Charlemagne. He was a patron of the fine arts, and through his influence both the arts and the crafts were encouraged everywhere in the empire. This lantern was secured by Bunkio Matsuki, and through him, in behalf of all the Japanese in Boston, was presented to the city as a token of appreciation of the good will which Boston has always maintained toward Japan. The late Mayor Collins accepted the gift, subject to the approval of the art commission, which body was only too glad to receive it and provide for it the present appropriate site, where it will serve to guide the "mariners" on the public garden pond, whether in swan boats or row boats, during all the summer evenings of the future. Spider Lives on Light Little Miss Muffet's spider was perhaps not so hungry as he looked. M. J. H. Fabre has studied the spider's powers of fasting. He noticed that the mother spider carries its little ones on its back for seven months, and that during that time the young spiders consume absolutely no food. He concluded from this observation that it is the solar heat and light that for them directly take the place of nourishment. In other words, the motor beat in these young animals, instead of being released from the food, might be utilized directly as the sun, source of all life, radiates it. His Way.

London.—One more of the historic buildings of England is soon to come under the hammer. It is none other than the castle occupied by Anne Boleyn at the time she was wooed and won by Henry VIII. It is to-day situated in one of the slumiest districts of London, at East Ham; the extreme eastern section of the metropolis given up to gas and acid manufactories. Where, in the early days when Henry VIII, came to court Anne, there was nothing but green fields and sylvan dales, to-day the castle stands out from a waste of commercial enterprises. The lines of an electric car line pass the side of the ancient WHERE HENRY VIII. COURTED ANNE BOLEYN. structure; and were Anne Boleyn to revisit the glimpses of the moon, and try, as in the old days, to discern the stretches of the Thames river, she would behold nothing but factory chimneys and the gaunt sides of grain elevators. Many pretty fables are connected with the castle. It is said that Anne—when Henry first began paying her his court and before his divorce from Catherine of Aragon—wont to spend hours on the top of the battlements shown in the accompanying photograph. It is even said that from these very escarpments she could signal with her handkerchief to her royal lover as he came up the river in his state barge. It was here that Anne is said to have spent some of the happiest days of her life; brief though they were. After her coronation, the unhappy queen, as the world knows, was acquainted only with misery. It is because of this happy association of the ancient castle with Anne Boleyn that the people of East Ham who still retain the appreciative sense—and especially those of antiquarian persuasions—wish to have the castle purchased for the public and turned into a museum and library. Within recent years the castle has been used as a Roman Catholic industrial school, but the authorities have just taken the buildings and they are to be sold. Ample grounds surround Boleyn castle and, were it not for the squalid neighborhood, with its blighted acidified verdure, the fumes of sulphur and the odor of gas, no one of aristocratic proclivities could wish for a more castle-like abode. Environment has, however, settled the question of private purchase; and probably, if the castle is knocked down to the highest bldder, its site will undergo a brick-and-mortar transformation into workmen's cottages, such as adorn nearly all suburban real estate. NOW A LOYAL AMERICAN. Miss Cynthia Burke-Roche, British Heirges, Renounces Allegiance to King Edward. Newport, R. I.-Miss Cynthla Burke-Roche, daughter of Hon. and Mrs. Burke-Roche, has renounced allegiance to King Edward, having taken out her citizenship papers.
