Washington Bee

A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE. A FIRESIDE COMPANY. is true if you see it in THE BEE. VOL. X V.NO.47. Recorder Dancy is a baseball enthusiast. President Roosevelt informed the New Jersey delegation a few weeks ago that called with a candidate for the Recordership that there was no vacancy. The people are perfectly satisfied with Mr. Dancy. He has made an excellent Recorder. Prof. Booker T. Washington continues to receive contributions at the same old stand. He is the most successful collector in the world. He can collect more money and easier than any known man. The servant problem is now occupying the public mind at present. There is a great deal to be said concerning this question. There are some very refined servants in this city, who demand as much respect as those whose vocation in life is higher. A girl can be a lady in the kitchen as well as those presence demand them in the parlor. Mr. J. T. Newsome, who has given this question much thought and consideration will appear before the Senate committee in a few days and enlighten our lawmakers on this question and employment agencies. Judge De Lacy of the Juvenile Court has been taking instructions from Judge Kimball. I hope he will exercise his own judgment. There were several pretty gowns out Sunday. The ladies looked like fairies, I think the hats were beautiful. In the forenoon it looked like rain and I concluded that they would be disappointed. Many of the churches were well crowded as they were last Easter. The weather was very threatening. The Public Printer is having a cleaning out. He seems to be getting rid of the ring that has infested that great department. There is a warm spot in the hearts of many for Mr. Ricketts. I shall be pleased when I see a few colored citizens appointed to positions in the District Government. When the new school bill is enacted ing and most pretentious publication in point additional new members of the board who will be acceptable to the people. The new Bar Association will convene next week and frame a set of rules and regulations for the government of women were received in the Principal's house and were introduced to Mr. Carne' the old members, but will no doubt ap- the association. From existing conditions the lawyers must be as careful as the clients. The Bar Association means to make the lawer do his duty toward his client. I am inclined to believe that Major Sylvester will recommend the appointment of a good man for the detective tree when he finds a suitable individual. I mean a colored detective. There are several clean and good men on the force who will give satisfaction. SPECTATOR I see that "Spectator" has been treating Register Judson W. Lyons to a "write up" in the columns of the Guadrian. I learn that "Spectator" is Mr. T. H. R. Clarke, the confidential clerk of the register. I thought I was pretty well acquainted with Mr. Lyons, good points and efforts in politics, but after reading "Spectator", Mr. Clarke, I find out that there is a great deal about him I never heard of before. In "Spectator's" catalogue of great things done by Mr. Lyons I notice he says that Mr. Lyons aided T. Thomas Fortune in 1900 to secure a place in the literary bureau of the Chicago headquarters. In another place he states that Mr.Fortune at one time thought Mr. Lyons good timber for an appellate judgeship of the United States States courts. I wonder why Mr. Fortune is singled out for special mention in this "write up"? Is it possible that Mr. Fortune does not admire the gentleman from Georgia as much as he used to, and the gentleman's confidential clerk is seeking to draw a contrast or something else? I confess this is too much for me. May be Mr. Fortune can enlighten the situation. Among other things "Spectator" says Mr. Lyons made it possible for colored men to be admitted to practice law in Georgia without undue inconvenience; he killed a piece of legislation about separate schools; he was consulted for five or six years from 1897 about all colored appointments; he was consulted about the organiazation of the "immune regiments" of the Spanish-American war; about the Philippine regiments; he "secured the appointment of over one hundred colored men and women" in handling the Spanish war loan (I never before heard that there were so many colored men and women employed in that connection); "he succeeded in getting several colored clerks certified from the Civil Service Commission to the register's office" (How many? and what are their names. I know of but two colored clerks in the register's office, and the reinstatement of one of them was decided on before the death of Register Bruce); he had messengers and laborers classified (I thought messengers were classified by President Cleveland; and that laborers were classified in a general order by President Roosevelt); he "organized the opposition to the proposed reduction of Southern representation in the Republican National Convention," and was "the most determined and aggressive spirit" in opposing the resolution which Senator Quay introduced in "open convention," and so on to the end of the chapter "Spectator" makes his hero appear to good advantage, though I do not know how close examination his facts will stand. "Spectator's" list is not complete. He does not mention that Mr. Lyons commanded a "Jim Crow" brigade at the inauguration of President Roosevelt; that Booker Washington called his hand as to his candidate for the Presidency, or that he was only consulted by President Roosevelt when the President had orders to give. Still, I think "Spectator" on the whole makes a good showing, and his article contains matter which will be new to most peoplye. Fairplay. CONGRESSMAN PEARRE The Republicans of the Sixth District of Maryland are emoree than fortunate in having as their representative in Congress Hon. George Alexander Pearre, who has made a record of which the nation is proud. Representative Peane has appointed more Republicans to office, and especially colored, than any Congressman in the State of Maryland. He is ready at all times to render aid to his constituents and he is not the man to turn you down on account of color or condition. There are but few men in the State of Maryland, who have aided the colored Republicans and these Pearre. This gentleman is allied to the old school of Republicans, who believe in defending human rights and having men appointed to offence who are citizens of the State and county in which they live. The Republicans of the Sixth Pearre has been more of an honor to the district than any man preceding him. He has done more and is doing more HON. GEORGE ALEXANDER PEARRE. for his constituents and because of a few disgruntled politicians have been disappointed i getting what they wanted, the honest voters of the district are asked to join in with them to defeat his nomination. Has Mr. Pearre's record been of such a character to warrant his defeat? Has he been false to his constituents? Has he imposed greater burdens upon the people than they are able to carry? If he is not guilty of any of the offenses above, why should not he be nominated and elected. Information reaches The Bee that the small faction in Montgomery County is opposed to Mr. Pearre on personal grounds. Some time ago a communication was inadvertently published in this paper from one of the disgruntled members of the small faction in Montgomery County, which plainly showed that the men wanted office and because they failed to get there the voters in Montgomery County, Md., are asked to defeat Mr. Pearre. The Republicans in the county have sent an article to this paper to the effect that they will not indorse the personal fight against him. This is the right position for the Republicans to assume. Why should they join in to defeat Mr. Pearre because other men have been appointed to offiffice? There is every reason to believe that Mr. Pearre will be nominated and elected on his record alone, notwithstanding the opposition of the spoilsmen. Mr. Pearre, Republican, of Cumberland, Md., was born in that city July 16, 1860. He is a native Marylander to start off with. He is the son of Hon. A. Pearre and Mary Worthington. He obtained his early education at private schools, Alleghany County Academy, St. James College. HON. W. B H. Currie Jensen HON. W. B. ALLISON ton University. It is said that he was a bright and apt boy at school and quick to conceive and to impart. He doesn't talk very much. He is a worker. You never know what he is doing till after it is done. He studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1882, having graduated at the law school of Maryland University, of Baltimore; in active practice ever since. It was not long before he became popular with his constituents, who honored him by electing him to the State Senate by a majority of 400, and served in the sessions of 1890 and 1892. Having made such a brilliant record in the State Senate, the Repubileans nominated and elected him prosecuting attorney by a major he was elected to the Fifty-fifth Congress in 1898. In that contest he received 18,878 votes to 14,372 for his opponent, C. T. Poffenberger, a plurality of 4,506, carrying all the counties in the district for the first time in its history; re-elected to the Fifty-seventh and Fifty-eighth Congresses, receiving 18,310 votes to 14,479 for R. C. Konneweg and 1,063 for J. C. Hopkins, Prohibitionist. Re-elected to the Fifty-ninth Congress. This distinguished young Republican has made the greatest record of any man that has ever represented the Sixth Maryland District, Democrat or Republican, and hite constituents of Mr. Pearre have decided to unite in his renomination and election. Mr. Pearre is popular with the administration and influential in Congress. Wherever he goes he is treated with the greatest consideration. Certainly the Republican voters of the Sixth District should be glad to know that they have such a representative in Congress. There are men in Congress to-day who can't cross the doorstep of the Executive Mansion on any of the departments, but Hon. George Alexander Pearre is a welcome visitor wherever he goes.

Editor of the Washington Bee: I have not been one who has taken part in the controversies between the factions of our race. I cannot say that I belong to those who stand for the "manhood" of the race, nor am I a partisan of any of the "movements." On the other hand, I am not strictly wedded to the idea of any one kind of education for the elevation of our people. I have sought constantly to try to see what was good among all sides and among all classes and to try to use it for the advancement of the race. My experience, however, within the last few days in this part of the South has brought home to me as never before one or two lessons which I think I ought to give out for the benefit of the race. It is one thing to talk and preach "manhood" in an abstract manner, it is another thing to act. A small element of our people are fond of condemning Dr. Booker T. Washington because they say he has not courage and manhood. By this I presume they mean he not excel some other people in talking out his convictions, I do not know that there has ever been a Gustave Léon member of the race who has acted in a manner to bring to the race such honorable recognition. For example, some months ago the President of the United States visited the South. Here in Atlanta, where I happened to be at the time, there is a small element, as in other sections of the country, that cry from morning till night for "manhood." This same class here in Atlanta when the President was here had no opportunity to see the President except as they did so while standing in an uncomfortable position on a street corner peeping behind a lamp-post or getting a glimpse of the President as he was driven through the streets surrounded by white people. They had no opportunity even to shake the President's hand, no opportunity to come into any room where he spoke, nor were they given any recognition whatever by the President. The writer happened to be at Tuskegee when the President arrived. Instead of colored people at Tuskegee having to peep around and dodge around a corner in order to get a glimpse of the President, prominent colored people were invited into Principal Washington's office and were received by the President in a dignified and formal manner. The same recognition was given the colored people throughout his stay at Tuskegee. In other words, the President was there as the guest of a black man and in the Tuskegee atmosphere one could feel that he could hold up his head and meet the President of the United States as a citizen and not as a slave. In one case the "manhood" element was acting, in the other case those who say: that Dr. Washington is without manhood were acting their part by standing on the streets, peering around lamp-posts trying to get a glimpse at the distinguished party. Last week a distinguished company of philanthropists visited Atlanta. Among them were Andrew Caregie and a dozen other prominent men accompanying him. During all the five hours that Mr. Caregie spent in Atlanta, no colored man seemed to have strength or prominence enough to be invited into Mr. Caregie's presence, nor did any colored man seem ```markdown ``` to have strength or prominence enough to invite Mr. Carnegie to his home or to provide any means by which the colored man in Atlanta could receive proper recognition. The writer happened to be at Tuskegee again when Mr. Carnegie and Secretary Taft, together with hundreds of other prominent men from all over the country were there. The Secretary of War, Andrew Carnegie, President Eliot were at Tuskegee as the guests of the Principal of the Tuskegee Normal Industrial Institute. Prominent men and gie, President Eliot and others of the party and were treated as men and women. No one at Tuskegee had to stand in a crowded depot or a crowded street car in order to get a glimpse of Secretary Taft or Mr. Carnegie, they could go to Principal Washington's house or the Chapel, or could be conducted into the private residences of these men where Mr. Carnegie received them on proper terms. In a word, at Tuskegee and in that atmosphere every negro, and there were thousands of them from all parts of the country, felt that he was in an atmosphere where the negro was recognized for what he was worth. I did not have to bow and cower and scrape and dodge about in order to get a glimpse of the prominent men of the country. Now is it not a fact that any colored man who can invite such prominent white Americans and receive an acceptance to his invitation and thus provide an opportunity for the best negroes to meet the best white people, is it not a fact that such a man is conveying untold benefit upon the masses of our people, that is, in proportion as the worth of one is recognized, just in proportion is the whole race recognized and lifted up to a higher plane? Is not the mere fact of Mr. Washington being able to occupy such a position before the country that he can invite millionaires and have such prominent institutions as Harvard, Yale, Johns Hopkins and others represented at Tuskegee by their presidents and high officials, doing something for the race that no man or set of men can do by merely standing off in a corner and hollowing at the top of their voices, "manhood, manhood?" Which element is it that is really showing, not by words but by acts, that it recognizes and represents the highest manhood of the race? The element that merely talks or the element that acts? While others may depend upon talking to better our condition, Dr. Washington believes in acting, and the millions of our race are ready to follow him. Observer. LIFE ON A SUGAR PLANTATION. "No eight-hour law regulates the day's labor on these plantations. In the expressive language of one of the hands, they work from 'can't to can't'; that is, when they begin in the morning it is too dark to see and when they knock off at night it is too dark to see. In the grinding season, when the cane is being gathered, no respect is paid to the Sabbath. In fact, the colored churches at this season usually make no attempt to hold services, though not every plantation requires work on Sunday. The system is essentially feudal. The master is the centre; around him everything revolves. Practically his word is law; the civil officers have little to say or to do except as he gives the word, unless perchance some other planter is involved. But justice requires the statement that this description should not apply to all. Some of the planters are just, generous and humane; the system under such men assumes a patriarchal character and the ties between the family of the planter and the families of his hands are strong and affectionate, as was often the case in the time of slavery. * * * "The young man who goes off to school, gets a fair English education, and settles in the village, becoming a powerful factor in the disintegration of this plantation system. Instead of working as a day laborer he asks for the privilege of working land upon shares or of renting outright. In this way the men are their own masters; they escape the brutal treatment of the overseer as well as the enslaving power of the plantation store. The positive results of the new system are considerable; it gives the farmers a valuable business experience; it develops self-reliance, independence, and self-respect, and makes the old serf-like thereafter impossible. The renter on shares is, besides, the first stage in the evolution of the day-laborer into a property owner."—Southern Workman.

CURES DISEASE WITH LIGHT Copenhagen Physician Remedies Affections of the Heart in a Unique Manner. Copenhagen.—Dr. Hasselbach, though considering further disclosures on the Pineen ray treatment at the moment premature and untimely, admits striking out on new and independent lines and has become convinced that the light treatment is effective in heart disease and affections of the nervous system. Dr. Hasselbach, after experimenting on his own perfectly normal organs, next experimented on two doctors. Both of these were complete invalids, one suffering from angina pectoris and the other from a nervous affection of bling both doctors to resume their practice. Twenty patients—men and women—suffering from heart disease or rheumatic affections, are now awaiting treatment with the Finsen rays, some of them being already in the doctor's hands. Dr. Hasselbach's treatment results in very materially increasing the temperature of the skin; but the taking of the exact measurements has not yet been concluded. A hospital for the light ray treatment, provided with 20 beds, will be ready here for the admission of patients in a year's time. Nest of Reptiles Unearthed—Woman Scalds Them to Death and Then Displays Them. Munfordsville, Ky.—Forty-two rattle- Makes, ranging in size from six inches to five feet, were killed under an old- fashioned hearth at the farmhouse of Lane Welborn, in the Roundtree neigh- borhood. Mrs. Welborn scalded the reptiles, and, with a pair of tongs, lifted them out and placed them in a row for dis- play. For several weeks Mrs. Wel- born had complained that the house was haunted. Friends shared this be- lief and neighbors ceased their visits to the Welborns. Mrs. Welborn was on the verge of prostration when she persuaded her husband to remove the hearthstone. In a hollow place the snakes were smugly awaiting the coming of warm weather. Mrs. Welborn has forgotten her nervousness and gave a dinner party and everybody in the vicinity partook of the hospitality of the Welborns and viewed the largest array of rattlers ever placed on exhibition in Kentucky.

SCIENTISTS TO DESTROY THE WATER HYACINTH Chemical Has Been Compounded Which Does Away with Hindrance to Navigation—Liquid Is Secret —Sprayed Upon Flower. Washington.—For years scientific men have been making every effort to find a means of destroying the water hyacinth. Its growth is most luxuriant, and it spreads so rapidly that it covers vast areas of the waters of southern rivers and becomes a menace to navigation. Various Have been the schemes to rid the wate ways of this pest, but none have been effective till quite recently. A chemical has been compounded which has such an effect upon the plant that if it comes in contact with the stem or biosom these portions soon wither. The solution is so powerful, also that it works its way down the stem, killing the root. Some of the ingredients are known only to the inventor, but a large quantity of acid is used in its preparation. The process of manufacture is very simple, the "laboratory" being placed upon a barge provided with two tanks. Connected with the tanks is a boiler, in which the ingredients are mixed at a high temperature, which is produced by steam heat. The laboratory boat or barge used in the work is of light draft, so that it may be towed by the spraying boat. The latter is provided with three reservoirs, which are filled by pumping from the barge. Pipes lead from the reservoirs to a steam pump, which supplies the spraying apparatus. This consists of three booms. One extends directly in front of the vessel, being supported by a block and tackle attached to the bow deck. The others project from the sides of the vessel. The sprayers consist of hollow tubes, which are perforated at intervals of about a foot, and the holes are fitted with miniature nozzles. The liquid is forced into the sprayers through lines of hose, which are connected to the sprayers by couplings in the usual manner. The arrangement of the sprayers is such that the chemical can be distributed over a space of 90 feet in width when the boat is moving. The reservoirs carry a sufficient supply of chemical to cover about 100,000 square yards, and on a portion of the stream where the growth is not too rank the steamer will treat this area of surface in a day. In places where the side sprayers cannot be utilized on account of trees or other obstructions the chemical is applied to the plants by means of ordinary hose operated by members of the crew. That this method is most effective is proved by the fact that portions of the dead growth which have been taken from the St. John's river, where the chemicals have been applied, showed that the fiber has decomposed at the very roots. In this state it no longer hinders navigation, for the solution kills the seeds as well as the plants. The best time for carrying on the work has been found to be during the seeding time, and as great a space as possible is covered during that period. The solution used is of such destructiveness that the withering process begins within a few hours after it has been applied, for it penetrates to the very roots. Philadelphia, Pa.—A frolle at a social gathering last January is causing considerable uneasiness to several persons in Camden. There was a party given January 27 at the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Patterson at 800 Spruce street. During the funmaking Robert Currens asked Miss Rebecca Shindler to become his bride. D. G. Moore, entering into the spirit of the occasion, aged to act as "minister," so he "united" Currens and the woman. Unfortunately, the latter thought the ceremony genuine, especially when given a certificate. In fact she has refused to look upon the matter as a joke, and Prosecutor Lloyd's attention will be called to the case. Miss Shindled is about 50 years old, while Currens is not yet 30. Winsted, Conn.—Marie Rosler, six years old, whose father is a wood-chopper on Canaan mountain, in West Norfolk, had a thrilling ride down the mountain side in the 5,000-foot trough of the Canfield Lime company. The trough, made as smooth as glass by the wood sliding down it, has a sharp descent and then rises to allow the wood to shoot up into the air and fall into a pile. The girl crawled up into the trough and was comin' down feet first when men at the base of the mountain heard her cries. Like a shot out of a cannon the girl left the trough and dropped 20 feet into the arms of Foreman Michael Tierney, frightened but uninjured. Man, 103, to Wed Girl of 23.

QUEERCHECK TO PNEUMONIA Patient's Condition Bettered by Leap from Hospital Window to Portico in Pyjamas. New York.—Theron Brown is better now. He was suffering from pneumonia in the city hospital at Newark and was delirious when the nurse left him for a moment to fill an ice bag. Brown is a negro, 23 years old. He was apparently in a bad way and urgent care was necessary in his case, but when the nurse's back was turned he dived through a third-story window and landed on his head on the roof of a portico. He was momentarily stunned, but revived and jumped 15 feet to the court, landing on the concrete pavement. Then he ran through Fairmount street to Cabinet street, where he was overtaken by Night Watchman Peter Clark, who led him back to the hospital. Brown was clad only in hospital pyjamas and his feet were bare. The temperature outdoors was 15 degrees above zero. His temperature a few minutes before the plunge was 104 and when he was returned to bed it was RIDER No·M until you We ship to anyone on Finnest gu 1905 M with Coast RIDER AGENTS W No Money Req until you receive and approve of We ship to anyone on Ten Days Free Finest guaranteed 1905 Models $10 to with Coaster - Brakes and Punct RIDER AGENTS WANTED No Money Required until you receive and approve of your bicycle.

Y.—The fact that an appropriation has been made by congress for a monument to Baron Frederick William Steuben, to be erected at Washington, and the selection of the sculptors, Albert Jaegers, Adolph S. Weinman and Henry Herring, to compete for the honor of making the design, become of interest to German residents of this country who a few years ago were engaged in erecting a monument over Baron Steuben's grave, in the town of Steuben, Oneida county. They finally succeeded in this object, and when the monument is ```markdown ``` BARON STEUBEN'S MONUMENT. (Memorial Which Was Placed Over His Grave at Remsen, Oneida Co., N. Y.) completed in Washington it will be the second one to this great general, who gave so willingly of his talents and means to the struggling colonists in their war of the revolution. After the close of the revolutionary war Baron Steuben spent considerable time in New York, living on a farm that was then in what was known as Jones' Woods, near the East Fifty-seventh street of the present day. After long delays on the part of congress to pay him his salary, a grant was finally made to him of a tract of 16,000 acres of land that came to be known as Steuben Patent, and was situated in the northern part of this county. Here the baron built a small, plain house, furnishing it with his camp utensils and the remains of his military chest, and the closing years of his life were mostly passed in this place. He died in 1794. He had often requested that he be buried under one of his own trees, and that his grave should be left to become overgrown with such shrubs and trees as might spring up naturally. In 1872 several German societies in New York city erected a monument over the grave. This monument stands directly over the grave of the dead warrior, and bears only the word "Steuben" as an inscription. The dense woods upon all sides give it a strange appearance, and the visitor is struck with the loneliness of the surroundings. GETS A CADETSHIP. Manly Lawton, Son of Gen. Lawton, Wins Appointment to West Lexington, Ky.-Manly Lawton, eldest son of the late Maj. Gen. Henry M. Lawton, has been appointed to a cadetship in the United States military academy at West Point by President Roosevelt. Few boys entering West Point can lay claim to a military record such as that which this young man has made. MANLY LAWTON. (Son of Late Gen. Lawton Who Has Been Appointed to Cadetship at West Point.) But circumstances gave him the opportunity of tasting real war when but a mere lad and it served to show the true qualities of the soldier which he possessed and had much to do with awakening his ambitions for a military career. At the tender age of 11 when most boys are being cherished and coddled by their mothers in the home and shielded from every hardship, this boy was on the firing-line and under fire, and he never flinched, but shared in the hardships and dangers with true heroism that would have done credit to many an older soldier. He went to the Philippines with his father and served in various companies until his father's death in December, 1900. Immediately upon his arrival at Manila and before his father was given a command this boy went with Gen MacArthur to the front. Soon after the death of his father young Lawton returned to this country with his mother and sisters and they have since made their home at Pewee Valley. After his return here he enlisted in the First Battalion artillery, Kentucky state guards. NEW TYPE OF AIRSHIP BROOKLYN CLERK SAYS HE HAS SOLVED AIR MAVIATION. Invents Machine That Is Winged Like a Bird and Has a "Pulling Propeller" in Front Instead Brooklyn. After 15 years' patient study and experimenting Charles W. Clark, a clerk employed in the installation department of the Edison Electric Illuminating company, of this city, has, he believes, brought to perfection a machine for the navigation of the air of practical utility. It differs essentially from all flying machines invented up to this time, the nearest approach to it in principle being Prof. Langley's aeroplane, on which the government spent $70,000, and Israel Ludows box-shaped kite, which came to a disastrous ending at the foot of West Seventy-second street a few weeks ago. The most radical departure made by Clark is his entire elimination of the gas bag, or hot-air bag, method of galning and maintaining an elevation, and therein is the only suggestion of the aeroplane principle. He calls through the air precisely as a great bird, with outstretched wings, and motion is maintained by the revolution of a device at the front of his machine. It cannot properly be called a propeller, because it draws the machine forward instead of pushing it. The construction of this "propeller" is Clark's secret, which he is confident will solve the whole problem of aerial navigation. The flying machine proper consists of two large flanges, or wings of bamboo frame work, covered with canvas. They have an area of 200 square feet each, and instead of being flat as in the aeroplane are convex on their upper surface. The concavity is just like the hollow under the wing of a bird and the cushion of air which fills THE CLARK AIRSHIP. (Machine Whose Bird-Like Wings and "Pulling Propeller" Are Its Distinctive Features.) these cups is the sustaining power of the machine, sufficient, as the inventor has demonstrated to his own satisfaction, to keep it afloat even when the motor is not in operation. From the rear of the machine projects a three-flanged rudder, controlled by slender steel cables, that lead to the hands of the operator, who is seated on a saddle, like a bicycle saddle. This rudder is the most important part of the mechanism, apart from the "pulling propeller." It has four functions—steering to the right or the left, and lifting or lowering the forward part of the machine. When the forward edge of the wings are elevated, while the machine is in motion, the air rushes into their concavity, and the machine rises; when they are depressed the machine descends. The motive power is furnished by a 100-pound gasoline engine amidships, in front of the operator. The bamboo frame and canvas weigh 100 pounds, so with an aeronaut weighing 150 pounds in charge, the total weight to be lifted is 250 pounds. "I am satisfied beyond a shadow of a doubt," said Mr Clark to a New York World reporter. "that I have mastered the secret. The balloon as a lifting force is of course no longer considered. I gave that up 15 years ago. I got my first sea by skimming a thin sea shell on the beach. I saw that when it was skimmed cup down, it rose in the air until its force was exhausted and then fell. It occurred to me that if I could construct a machine on the principle of the sea shell and could continue the flight, I could make it rise as long as I could keep it in motion. "To satisfy myself that the principle of skimming the sea shell was correct, I built a machine of bamboo and canvas, in Dudley, N. J., and without any motor at all was able to ascend by having three or four boys pull the machine along the ground with a cord. So long as they kept the machine in motion I could steer it in any direction and go up or come down as I liked. "That convinced me I had struck the right principle, and I went ahead on the propeller until I perfected it. Now I am satisfied I can sail through the air at high speed and keep away from the earth as long as the fuel for the motor lasts." Race-Suicide Inefficient Race suicide has not prevented the human family from making a fair showing, for it now numbers 1,450,000,000 noses. Of Papa Adam's children 250,000,000 soaked, 500,000,000 clothe only the middle part of the body, while 500,000,000 are accustomed to envelop the body with some kind of linen material in summer the women in the last class are somewhat inclined to revert to aboriginal styles of dressing the body from the standpoint of decoration rather than protection from the indemnities of war and the observation of man. When we consider the political disappointments of the past, the gloom of the present and the doubtful prospects of the future, we may well ask ourselves what ought to be the political attitude of the colored voter, looking toward the election of an Executive in 1908. Is he justified in assuming an independent position toward all parties, or ought he still cling hopefully and desperately to the Republican party? This is a matter which should deeply concern us at the present time in order that our minds may be irrevocably made up when the next Presidential election is on. Owing to the disinterested state of politics at this time, and the undefinable, vacillating and unscrutinable policy we call it of the present Executive, the determination of our duty in the promises becomes a problem indeed. Just now the line of Democratism between the two great political parties is but faintly visible. The spectacle of Ben Tillman at the Republican helm in the Rate Bill; of the Executive codling with the South, the pronounced and inveterate enemy of the Republican party and Republican principles generally; of erstwhile Republican leaders dodging and quibbling and scampering in every direction on the proposition to cut down Southern representation, while the rank and file of both Republicans and Democrats are standing in utter amazement and exclaming, "Where are we at?" are objects which are calculated to stagger and dismay the most experienced politician and sagacious statesman. Were we guided by superficial political manifestations, as seen in Congress at this time, our duty would clearly be to split our elective franchise into atoms and let them fly anywhere and everywhere. But prudence suggests that we measure our distances carefully, move cautiously, intelligently and bravely, and insist upon conditions precedent, instead of subsequent. It is more than probable that our condition as a race is largely attributable to an active friendship of the Republican party. But has that party now changed front and joined the forces of the enemy in a crusade against the colored man's political and civil rights? A correct answer to this query will become a very important element in the equation. As regards the real attitude of the Executive toward the colored people we are in doubt. "A square deal," means much. It is probably as forcible a bit of slang as can be found in the language of misery. It means to "tote square," to act, according to agreement or conventionality and carrying it to its legitimate conclusion, to act according to the letter and spirit of the law. The colored people are citizens of the United States and all of the laws applying to citizenship ought to be fairly and honorably administered and executed without regard to race or color. "The "square deal" has no necessary reference to colored people only. It is or ought to be applicable to all citizens without distinction, if indeed it has any just significance. The fact is that the colored people But our friends are not all gone. They are only pausing—pausing for the opportune moment, when they can surely help us. They bid us be patient but vigilant. They want us to demand of those who desire our votes, a fair price—absolute assurance of friendship and unqualified support of our manhood rights. They want us to be brave and valliant and easy. Above all, they want us to choose well our representatives at the next and following elections, in order that when the time for the nomination of a candidate arrives we may surely know our man. Buying a pig in a bag is bad business. Let us deal in the lime-light. Discussion in the columns of the press is not likely materially to assist the trustees of Howard University to a conclusion in the matter of the selection of a president for that institution. Certainly such discussion will be a positive hindrance unless conducted on the high plane of academic fairness and dispassionateness. It is an honorable ambition to aspire to the presidency of an institution of learning having the prestige and history of Howard; and within certain generally accepted limitation any citizen of the republic is free to seek to gratify that aspiration. The Bee has heretofore stated with clearness and some degree of elaboration what qualifications it thinks the man should have who shall be selected by the trustees to preside over the institution. We are not especially concerned about the color of the man. What does particularly concern us is his practical, concrete practice of human brotherhood, his broad, healthy human sympathy, his sound scholarship, his safe administrative ability, his freedom from cant and hypocrisy and his aptitude for increasing the resources of the university. A discussion of these matters may be of some advantage. We are led into this line of thought by the attitude of a local contemporary which, according to our view, has approached this question in anything but the proper spirit and poise of mind. The contemporary in question has a candidate, Dr. L. B. Boore, dean of the Teachers' College, of the University. And yet here we would say that we do not desire to be understood as either opposing or favoring the candidacy of Dr. Moore. But we do oppose the method employed in grooming him for the presidency. The contemporary above referred to, in a recent issue, made it appear that Representative Green, of Massachusetts, had singled out Dr. Moore for special commendation as regards his presentation of the cause of education before the House sub-committee investigating the public schools of the District; when as a matter of fact Mr. Green referred to Dr. Moore, Professor Kelly Miller and Mr. W. A. Joiner as being illustrations of the possible development of the race, and saying that he had drawn this conclusion from the soundness of the views they expressed before the sub-committee and the high degree of training each showed in setting forth his views. The contemporary referred to not only published in garbled form what We refrain at this time from any comment upon the printing and circulating of an evil report to the effect that Acting President Fairfield has changed in his bearing since entering upon his new duties, and that he does not raise his hat to the wives of colored professors. The Harvard Standard has met this matter squarely, and the burden of proof is now upon the local contemporary. Let it be understood once for all that anyone is at liberty to blow any other person's horn he may choose, and to enlist under any other person's banner for a contest, but at the same time he is under obligation to carry on the contest in accordance with the rules of civilized warfare, and not after the manner of ambushing, scalping, skulking Indians. Inasmuch as the local contemporary is owned by one minister of the gospel and edited by another, it is not out of place to remind them that Jesus of Nazareth, whom they profess to follow, says: "Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them." Is suppressing the truth and circulating false rumors carrying out this injunction? HIGH LICENSE Senator Gallinger has introduced a bill in the Senate to appease the hypocrisy of the temperance advocates. The bill contemplates making retail licenses $1,500 and wholesale $750. The contention of these advocates is too hypercritical for argument. There are thousands of things existing in this city more dangerous and obnoxious to the people than whiskey. A person is not obliged to drink any more whiskey than he wants, and neither is he compelled to get drunk. Why don't these so-called Christian temperance hypocrites appeal to Senator Gallinger to introduce a bill to prohibit "Jim Crow" cars from entering the city? Why isn't Senator Gallinger asked to introduce a bill to establish a respectable almshouse for the thousands of helpless colored and white citizens in the city? Why don't these temperance advocates cease shamming and go to real work? One would suppose that whiskey is the destruction of mankind. It is not so. Whiskey is not responsible for the immoral conduct of some temperance advocates. A man or woman may commit offenses that would imprison them and not drink liquor either. There are thousands of cases tried in the Police Court that are not the result of whiskey. Of course there must be some subterfuge for people to bluff other people whereby they can get money. There is the sham temperance advocate or the man and woman who don't drink whiskey. But he or she is more dangerous to society than the whiskey. You will generally find a temperance advocate a sham and a hypocrite. You can't believe anything he says. This has been the experienced the editor of this paper has had with sham temperance advocates. There are men who don't drink whiskey, but who will destroy a happy home. Deliver us from the man who neither drinks nor chews tobacco. If he is not a hypocrite he is a libertine and a dangerous man in society. There should be no increase in whiskey license. Why should there be? Whiskey is distilled to use, and the distiller pays a revenue tax for the privilege. The consumers number millions, and will no doubt find many of them members of the anti-saloon organizations throughout the country. OUR DAY. The day that the colored people in this city celebrate is the 16th The colored people in this country have been considering the invitation extended to them to join the Catholic Church. This proposition is being seriously considered by some of the leading representatives of the colored race. It is argued that the Catholic Church is less prejudiced to the negro than any other denomination in the world. It is also true that most all other denominations have adopted rules and passed resolutions to bar out the negro. The white Presbyterian Church, the white Methodist, and a number of the white Southern Baptist are opposed to the negro. It is also a notorious fact that the Catholic Church is receiving more consideration from this administration than any other denomination, which shows that it is a strong factor in the body-politic. Since the Catholic Church is favorably disposed toward the negro and will give him greater protection than any other denomination or political party, there is nothing for the negro to do but to join the Catholic Church. If all anti-Catholic denominations are opposed to the negro and the Catholic Church, and since the Catholic Church gets what it wants, it will be good politics for the negro to look out for himself and go where it will be to his best interest. We never read in the public press of any Catholic convention or Catholic Church denouncing the negro and declaring that the negro is not good enough for that Church. This Church has but one God. The white Methodist, Baptist and Presbyterians declare that the negro is REGISTER LYONS' POWER? The statement of "Spectator" in The Guardian that Register Lyons opposed the Quay resolution at the Philadelphia Convention of 1900 is misleading. The editor of The Bee was a delegate to that convention, and can say of his own knowledge that the Quay resolution was offered as a piece of political strategy in the contest that was being carried on between Mr. Quay and Mr.Hanna, and which brought about the nomination of Colonel Roosevelt for the Vice-Presidency. The resolution was never offered with any serious purpose of passing it, and it never came to a vote, because Mr. Quay and Mr. Hanna came to an understanding and that settled the matter. Mr. Lyons had about as much to do with the defeat of the Quay resolution as the man in the moon has to do with the Railway Rate Bill. TO IDENTIFY THEM The Bee would like to know why the word colored is written on the papers given to colored applicants who take the Civil Service examination. Is it for the purpose of discriminating against colored applicants? If this is true, The Bee is of the opinion that it is not done with the authority or consent of President Roosevelt. Certainly, if it be true, it is unconstitutional. Why should the government designate a citizen by color or nationality so long as he is a citizen of the United States and a resident of the state in which he claims citizenship? It is hoped that President Roosevelt will investigate this report. OUR DUTY IN MARYLAND The citizens of Maryland have a duty to perform. The colored citizens in particular should see that the illiterate colored voter is taught the rudiments of self-government and how and for whom he should vote. It should be the duty of the intelligent colored voter in Maryland to see that the illiterate voter and those who are able to vote are not led astray or influenced by disgruntled politicians. In the Sixth Maryland district, represented by Hon. Geo. Alexander Pearre, there is a small faction of dissatisfied Republican disorganizers, who will attempt to hoodwink the Republicans and persuade them to vote against Congressman Pearre. This gentleman represents the vast element of the Republican party in the State, and again he is a representative Republican who knows no man by the color of his skin or the curl of his hair. The fight that the Republicans made last fall in the State to uphold the purity of the ballot and to perpetuate the political rights of the negroes should endear the colored voters to such men as Mr. Pearre. This gentleman has been misrepresented and charged with offenses that are political in their character but are without foundation. The Republicans of Maryland need just such men as Mr. Pearre in Congress. He is a friend of the oppressed and a defender of the rights of the negro and all humanity. There are but a few men like Mr. Pearre in Congress and when we where they can do us good, we once get such men in a position should keep them there. There are two classes of persons who have abiding hold on the negro race to influence them for good or ill. Both classes need moral reformation if the race is to be saved. A minister should be a man of a strong moral character which influences men to lead a better life. The foundation must be pure. The negro ministry in large measure is notoriously corrupt making the people sin. He is in many cases a beggar going from the door of one white merchant to another unchristian himself to the expenses of beating a race. If there is anything that dazles the eye of the colored minister it is a cheap political job in Washington. Give the average negro preacher a job and he will sing forever, "Heshe my rest shall be close by the government pap." When there is a soul about to be wrecked or some force of evil leading our boys and girls hellward, "He cannot be found." Let us root out the negro ministers holding office in Washington. Bury them with the burial of a jackass, never to be resurrected. LEANLINESS AND GOOD BEHAVIOR From the Southern Reporter From the Southern Reporter. About a week ago we read of the introduction of a bill in Congress by Hollin of Alabama to establish Jim Caw cars in the city of Washington, D.C. Our esteemed contemporary, The Becites as a reason for this bill the unbecoming conduct of many of the colored race in the street cars and on the street. Not only do those employed in domestic service leave their places of work in a greasy condition, but many others are careless as to their appearance and the cleanliness of their clothing and person except when they are on dress paris (and this is just the time for them to make a display of shoes, dresses and flowers bedecked hats.) There are well regulated homes among our people and the children of these homes are neat and clean in their homes, quiet and gentle and considerate of others, and the behavior is carried about by them wherever they go. A person reared thus cannot feel comfortable even in her own home with garments soiled and torsa or even with an odor of cooking in them nor will she be loud in laugh or talk on the street. The young man who goes through the street puffing a cigar in people's faces and using vulgar language has not been reared in a careful home. The pulpit and the school room can do a great deal in helping where best training is lacking; the colored premio too, reach some that may not be in the school room or the church. Let our colored editors take a bold stand like Editor Chase and speak out for cleanliness and good behavior among all classes of our people. The paper reaches some who seldom go to church and who may not have had the proper training at home nqn in school. Our view is that the best society is everyone is that which in the long run (taking into account both the world and the next) brings the highest amount of happiness. Personally (as we have good reason to know) we have many kind friends outside of our offices and house but nowhere are we happier—for in the one we are surrounded by kind faces and receiving almost every day letter full of good wishes and good news—and in the other are our good wife and other good friends, among which we count lots of good books and publications—grave and funny. Amongst the "very best society" in the world we count good horses, good dogs and good cats—and we are quite sure that four-legged donkeys are much better society than two-legged ones. We did once have a little canny boy weighing not over one ounce which brought more happiness into our life than we could have found in all the fashionable clubs of Boston. We think that no intelligent man or woman in America, who has the ordinary comforts of life, need to suffer for the want of good society.

Third-third Anniversary of the union of slaves in the District was celebrated last Monday in the Metropolitan A. M. E. C. H. D street between Second The streets, S. W., Rev. P. A. A. pastor. The celebration was under the auspices of the Danbar Literary Club of Baltimore. Mrs. Helen A. Davis, presi- tive is one of the larest and most influential clubs in the district and most progressive in the city. Mrs. Davis and Prof. J. D. Baltimore proceed alternately and both made ex- tent addresses. Mrs. Davis delivered most recent opening address which was applauded. She said among other things that the club of which she was a member always honored the day which thousands of citizens in the District of Columbia were liberated. There is no occasion that inspired the colored people in this city more than this day. The day on which we were permitted to breathe the air of freedom and independence. We have much to be thankful for and more that we can do if we so desired. We could be more united and protect each other's interest more, if we were imbued with love and equity. At the conclusion of her address she introduced Rev. P. A. Walace, who offered one of his most eloquent prayers. He was followed by Prof. Kelly Miller of Howard University, who read some statistics, showing the population of the colored people in the United States and what they are doing and what they could do. Prof. Miller was very entertaining and was frequently applauded. This address was followed by a vocal solo, sung by Mrs. Mary Elzear. Dr. Robert Reyburn was the next speaker. He was greeted with applause. Dr. Reyburn spoke of the progress of the colored people and how he had labored to restore to all the people the right to vote, which is the greatest weapon of defense for all citizens, irrespective of color or condition. Rev. F. J. Grimkie, pastor of the 15th Street Presbyterian Church, was next introduced. Rev. Grimkie gave some good advice. He said what was most desired aird, needed among all citizens was temperance. He said that the negro needed manhood and above everything else he needed religion and a pure soul. Rev. Grimkie is always a welcome visitor wherever he goes. Miss Gussie Clark, a young lady of fine elocutionary talent, rendered two recitations. One was entitled "How He Saved St. Michael," and the other was "Trouble in the Amen Corner." She was enthusiastically applauded. She was followed by an instrumental solo by Prof. Taylor. Dr. Tunnell of Howard University was the next speaker. He said that colored men don't respect their women. They lacked manhood. He gave many beautiful illustrations and pointed out the way for the negro to succeed. He was witty and entertaining throughout his address. Ex-Judge S. G. Davis was introduced and made logical and eloquent address for the colored people. His address on Monday night was one of those which inspired the hearts of the people. Attorney W. Calvin Chase was the next speaker. Mr. Chase said among other things that the negro was asleep. He was asleep when he was brought here over 250 years ago; he was asleep when he was emancipated and he is asleep to-day. He has been sleeping so long till every right is about to slip away from him. He must be up and doing and say to the world that he no longer sleeps and the time has now come for action. He spoke of the cowardice of the negro and cited amidst applause and laughter the time when he and Col. Carson had two Emancipation Day street parades. He also cited the White House incident, when he called upon Ex-President Cleveland, asked him to review the Emancipation Day parade and how the President presented him a copy of his paper, The Bee. The President, said he, declined to review the parade because there was a division among the negroes. However, we paraded just the same. To-day we have adopted other methods in celebrating this day, but there are some who continue to fleece the people and put the money in their pockets. Loud applause and cries of "Yes, that is so." "We want to be united," said Mr. Chase, "and show to the American white people that we are good citizens." This meeting was the most representative that took place, and officers of the club under whose auspices it was held are as follows: Mrs. H. A. Davis, chairman; Mrs. Sadie Marshall, secretary; Miss Blanche White, treasurer; Rev. P. Walace, pastor. THE SECOND BAPTIST LYCEUM. "The Niagara Movement—Is there a Need for It, and Has It a Mission?" Prof. James Storum of the M Street high school, was the speaker of the evening at the Second Baptist Lyceum on last Sunday afternoon, where he was enthusiastically received by a good audience. Prof. Storum chose for his subject, "The Niagara Movement: Is there a Need for It, and Has It a Mission?" He recited the pretentious declarations in the National Democratic platforms of 1874. '76 and '80, wherein the Democrats had professed regard for and the inviolability of the 13th, 13th and 15th amendments to the Constitution of the United States, as the-organic law of the land, for the purpose only of regaining confidence. The Democrats, dating from the time that Henry W. Grady was sent North as a lecturer, with the false cry of "negro domination," have made a systematic and determined effort to disfranchise the negro and regain control of the government. How well they have succeeded the changed sentiment of the North and the Southern election laws will tell. It is the purpose and mission of the Niagara Movement, through the education of public sentiment and the medium of a free press, to secure the enforce- ment of these amendments, and the consequent civil and political rights of the race. Prof. Storum's paper was one of the best read at the Lyceum this year, the discussion was spirited, and the Niagara Movement received a big boost. Attorney Thomas L. Jones will speak next Sunday afternoon, subject: Whispers. The public is invited. Rev. P. A. Wallace married Miss Rosa Jackson and Judson Howard, both of in the city and a man of the highest integrity. Following is the report which shows the great progress he has made since he took charge a year ago: THE BRICK SCHOOL Athens, Georgia, open day and night throughout the year, but Law and Shorthand are taught only a portion of the year. Females as well as males are admitted to study Law. Send for further information. J. Thomas Heard, LLB president, and a members of the United States Supreme Court. Mrs. Maria M. Heard, artistic dress cutter and lady in charge, treasurer. Miss H. Giles Heard, instructor in music, secretary. From the Progressive Era. Prof. Heard is one of the representative men in the South and was the first colored man to be admitted to the Athens, Ga., bar. He makes his home in this city for nine months and returns to his home in Georgia to teach his people in the higher branches of education. OPINION OF THE PRESS Hurray for the Hon. Judson W.Lyons, Sr. Just think, when he is released from the nerve-cracking duties of the Register of the Treasury, he can return to "dear old Georgia" and greet a darling baby boy, that we feel he will be more proud of than the highest and best office that could be given him in this fair land. JIM CROW -AWS. From the Reformer. The lie is going the rounds of the Southern press and is being emphasized by Southern men who have the public ear that the negroes of the South are perfectly satisfied with the present Jim Crow laws that obtain south of Mason and Dixon's Line. A moque glaring falsehood was never uttered. Instead of being satisfied, the negroes are all dissatisfied. An evidence of their opposition to the obnoxious laws is the fact that wherever and whenever legislation along that line has been suggested, there has always been a delegation of negro citizens present to enter their protest, these protests are not made, because the negro is anxious to associate socially with the white amn, but because separation means poorer service, the very meanest, which is given, only for the purpose of humiliating the self-nesecting members of the race. For no other purpose is it done than this, and it is this that is galling to us. Put a tack here and stick it in, that the statement that the negroes are satisfied, is absolutely false. We have hundreds of negro journals throughout the country whose representatives in Congress are Republicans and who possibly owe their elections to the influence of these journals; these journals should exert their influence with their Congressment to see that the proposed measure of Heflin, the Alabama penegade, to introduce Jim Crowism in the District of Columbia, never gets farther than the committee room. We call upon them to bring every pressure possible to bear for the defeat of the measure. HUMANITY IN THE KINDERGARTENS. From Our Dumb Animals A friend says to us, and says truly, that it is even more important for children to be taught to be humane than to be taught to read and write, and that this education should be begun in all the kindergarten schools. We have not thus far attempted to establish "Bands of Mercy" in the kindergarten schools, but the more we think of it the more certain we are that they should be established there, and the sooner the better. It seems to us that the first thing to be done in the kindergarten is to teach every child to make itself happier every day by doing kind acts or saying kind words to those human and (so-called) dumb creatures by whom it is surrounded; and we think the time is coming when it will be clearly seen that the best teacher is the one who can be most successful in making our children humane.

This was approximately one-tenth of the population at least ten years of age, the exact mathematical proportion being 106.6 illiterates to 1,000 population. The fact that one-tenth of the population above nine years have failed to obtain even the little education that is implied in the ability to read and write seems to indicate a rather surprising degree of ignorance, reflecting upon the boasted efficiency of the common school systems. Therefore the patriotic American will naturally inquire whether this is not mainly due to the presence in our population of the foreign-born and the negro, and will be somewhat reassured to find that when the comparison is restricted to the native white population, the proportion of illiteracy is reduced to 46.6 per 1,000, or less than one in twenty. For the foreign-born white the population is 128.5 per 1,000 and for the negro 444.7. Moreover, international comparisons, restricted as far as possible to corresponding classes of the population, are on the whole favorable to this country, indicating that in most European countries illiteracy is much more prevalent than it is here, although the United States is still far behind Germany, Sweden and Norway, Denmark and Switzerland. There is also ground for satisfaction and encouragement in the statistical evidence that illiteracy is steadily being reduced. In 1890 the number of illiterates per 1,000 was 133.4 for the total population, 62.3 for the native white population, 130.6 for the forlorn population, and 30.4 for we must not overlook our faults.

A brief sketch of his life is as fol- lows: .He was born in De Ruyter, Madison county, N. ¥., June 28, 1836. He received a common school educa- tion in his native county, and as hts parents moved to Rome, N. ¥., in 1848, he received the advantage of the Rome academy. He entered the banking business in the lowest position at the age of 18, going west in 1855 to seek a betterment tn fortune. After some trials ne obtained, fn 1858, a bockkeepers' position in the Merchants’ -Loun and Trust company of Chicago. His promotion was rapid. In 1868 he was cashier ‘of the bank, Belfeving that the natfonal banking syatem was superior to the state law, under which the Merchants’ Loan and Trust company was orgauilzed, he ac- cepted the appointment as cashier of the First National bank of Chicago in 1868, Its charter expiring, the bank was reorganized In 1882 with a capital of $3,000,000, and. Mr. Gage was maile vice president and general. manager, and in 1891 he was elected president. He was often preszed to allow ‘his name to be used for mayor of Chicago. On Feb- ruary 15, 1897, he ref¥ned the presi- dency of the bank In order to accept the portfolio of the Unjied States treasury. He was appointed Match 4 and confirme(! by the senate March 5, 1897. ee Speeches in.the Senate. ~ It may not be xenerally understood by in the United States senate there are sometimes on a single day’ not- able specches npon widely different subjects. The session Is divided Into two parts. “Morning business” comes before two o'clock, aml “unfinished business” is taken up after that hour. Any senator who desires to make a tormal speech asks for an opportun- ity to do so in the morning hour of a particular day. He takes the floor as soon after 12 o'clock as the tntro- duction of bills and resolutions has been completed. If he has not fin- ished his speech by two g’clock, it is customary for the senator who has charge of the bill that has the right of way to move, that it be temporarily laid aside in order that the speaker may conclude his remarks. Discus- sion of the altogether different theme, known as the “unfinished-business,” is then in order. STATUE OF.

Car- penters are building new cages and re- pairing old ones, so that the monkeys which will reach the university in a few days will have 2 commodious Place in which to live, These monkeys will not*be used as aa attraction for visitors but will be studied in. the classroom by. the stu- dents and’in the private laboratories by the professors. For some time the medical authorities have been contem- plating the use of monkeys for dis- secting purposes. : Because of the extreme Mkeness of the anatomy of the monkey to that of man it is thought much more can be learned of the human organism. It {s probable several hundred ant- mals will be used in the work during aae 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 atudy their language. The med{cal students of the university are enthusiastic over the idea and many of this year’s classes have intimated that they Intend to de- vote much time to the study of mon- key 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 and eleven million dollars less for drink was spent by the people of the United Kingdom fu the Inst five years tnan in the five years before that. ev- enue ‘returns prove that the drink- ing habit 1s continuously declining., In England the average expenditure for drink per head was $20 a year; in Scotland, $15.60; 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 messes, where-heavy drink- ing bas been long constfdered an evi- dence of manliness. For instance, in the royal artillery mess at Woolwich, the largest in the British army, three- quarters of the-oficers of all ages drink water except on speclal occa- sions. * ‘The new house of commons appar- ently typifies the tendency to temper- ance.

Elaborate Preparatiéns Being Made to Honor Discoverer—The Story of How He Found the Mountain, Colorado Springs.—Just 100 years ago, Gen. Zebulon Montgomery Pike discovered the famous mountain peak in Colorado, now bearing his name. Colorado Springs, Col., is a city which nestles in the shadow of this peak, and here, in Septeinber of this year, fitting tribute will be paiu to the great soldier-explorer. ‘ | Mr. Henry Russell Wray, vice prest- dent of -the celebration committee, in speaking of the event, says that it promises to be ay Interesting ay any celebration ever hel in the west. “We yhave the assurance of the generat staff"at Washington that about 10,000 regulars will attend. There will also be military attaches from forelgn.coun- tries and statesmel und orators ef na- tional reputation. The commissioner of (ndlan affairs hax promised to have representatives of the various tribes with which Gen. Pike came in con- tact on his hazardous mission.” It is protable that congress will au- thorize the fssue of 10U,000 souvenir medals, commemorating the historicat Importance of -the event. . Referring to the programme, Mi. Wray sald: “The celebration wilt last a week, ‘It will be military and efvie in charac- ‘ter, including the maneuvers by the ‘regulars, and the unveiling of a huge granite monument to Pike.” The story of the discovery of Pike's Peak fs as follows: In 1805 the government, through its war ‘department, was deslrous, of learning more definitely the source of the Mississippi, river. It was most Important at that time. Young Pike was selected to head the expedition. ‘This demonstrated bis cleverness, dar- Ing and knowledge. The next year, 1806, the government having about fin- Ished Its negotiations for the acquisi- tlon of that vast region known as the “Louisiana Purchase” and “New Spain” wanted some definite {nforma- a = 2>+— SS Sin a aoe eo a a! : FS E Oa Sa PIKE'S PBAK AS SEEN FROM COLU- RADO SPRINGS. /tfon about its area, climate and life. Pike, with a handful of men, was com- missioned. Pike started from a point on the up- per Mississippi. His purported mis- sion was to return to their tribe some pardoned Osage“Indians; after this he had orders to push west into the vast unknown wilderness. His diary of hthis year of adventure, danger and often frightful privation, will hold the reader as can only the rarest fetion. While reviewing it, one is filled with intense admiration for the young wer department, which was capable at that time of enlisting the youth, enthus- fasm and devoted loyalty of such a man as Pike. > When almost starving he wrote for the eyes only of his far-away boy, some such sentiment as “I- pray you guard daily your own honor, and stand al- ways ready to defend with your life, the honor of your country.” Ragged, hungry, footsore, but not discouraged, Pike first saw, November 15, 1806, from a point 150 miles away— the eastern border line of Kansis— ‘what Me called the great “Blue Moun- tain.” It was Pike's Peak. ‘The plains were 6,000 feet above sea level and the summit of the peak was J14,147 feet above sea level. To-day 2 steam railrcad runs to the summit, and ‘there the United States government ;maintains an observatory. : Sworn In by a Woman, Miss Mamle Offutt, official notary ‘4nd. stenographer to the governor of Alabama, is the only woman who ever had the honor of swearing in the chief justice of a state.

National Park on Historic Spot Where Homes of Aborigines Once Stood Is Planned—Hewitt to Carry Out the Project. Denver, Col.—In order to ascertain whether or not the CLIF Dwellers' rules of southwestern Colorado are really within the boundaries of the proposed National park in Mea Verde, Prof. Edgar L. Hewitt, of the bureau of American ethnology, at Washington, D. C., left Denver for Mancos. While here he was in consultation with the United States surveyor general for Colorado relative to the plan to include the strange dwellings of ancient Indians within the government preserve. Word has been received by the surveyor general from Washington that the contract for running the line from the sixty-eighth to the eighty-eighth mile post along the northern boundary of the Southern Ute Indian reservation has been awarded to George Milk, of Mancos, who will start immediately for the locality, accompanied by Prof. Hewitt. A bill is pending in congress to establish a national bank out of the Mesa Verde. If possible, it is desired to have all, or at least a good part, of the famed Cliff Dwellers homes included within the boundaries of the tract, so that these ruins, of great historical value, may be under direct government supervision. The northern boundary of the Indian reservation, especially between the mile posts named, is in considerable doubt and the government plans to establish an official line. It will then be known whether or not the ruins, or most of them, lie within the boundaries of the National Park. If only a small fraction of them is within the limits, it is not improbable that the government will take steps to acquire sufficient reservation land from the Indians to include the cliff dwellings. This is the first indication that the government really intends, if practicable, to acquire these historic homes and preserve them. Lines will be run from the northern line of the reservation to all the main spots of interest within the Cliff Dwellers' territory. Prof. Hewitt, who was formerly connected with the State normal school at Greeley and who has made a thorough investigation of the Mancos country, is prepared to designate all valuable portions of the tract. He will spend two or three weeks on the ground with the surveyors under pilots. "It is a shame that the people of Colorado did not awaken to the importance of these cliff dwellings in time," said Prof. Hewitt. "They are historically precious, and should be preserved by the government. Their duplicate cannot be found. Indians and rattle hunters are fast destroying them." HOT WATER REPLACES HEN Calkees Hatched Out by Fluid from a Colorado Artesian Well—Experiment in Detail. Cannon City. Col.—A novel experiment is being made by a resident of Cannon City, who last summer purchased the Atlas artesian well about two miles east of the city. He is utilizing the warm water of this well, which has a temperature of 100 degrees, for hatching and brooding chickens on a large scale. About three weeks ago as an experiment he placed nine eggs in a water-tight wooden box and placed it in the dune that conveys the water from the well to a near-by ditch. In due time he removed the box and found a live chicken in each egg. He at once began planning for the establishment of a hatchery and chicken ranch on an extensive scale. Incubators specially constructed are being made and will be placed so as to be in continual contact with the running water, which furnishes an ideal incubation, supplying the necessary moisture which the ordinary patient incubator fails to do. New Ray a Real Death Test Prof Elmer Gates, the scientist of Washington, has announced that he has discovered ultra-violet rays of light of certain wave lengths which seemed to go far toward solving some of the fundamental mysteries of life, death, disease and thought transference. Living subjects placed in these strange rays throw a shadow which exists only as long as there is life in the subject. When the subject dies it suddenly becomes transparent and the shadow vanishes. The new rays afford, Prof Gates says, the first and only accurate method of determining if a person is actually dead. By these rays the innermost processes of human thought are revealed. May Copyright Flowers. When a borticulturist perfects a $11,666 carnation hereafter he will immediately mail a copy of it to the librarian of congress and copyright it, if a bill now under consideration by congress becomes a law. The bill was introduced by Representative Allen, of Maine, and has the support of many nurserymen. It is designed to protect those who devote their energy and talents to the production of a new flower, only to have it taken from them by anyone who cares to raise the plant. Opposition is expected, it is said, from nurserymen and florists who are actuated by purely commercial motives. Bridgeport, Conn.-Laughing and chatting gayly under the surgeon's knife, a patient of Dr. J. C. Lynch submitted to a novel operation, without the use of the usual anaesthetic, before some 50 well-known medical men in the rooms of the Bridgeport Medical association. The operation was given as a demonstration to members of the society by Prof. A. J. Bodine, an eminent surgeon, who is attached to the Poijclinite Institute on East Thirty-fourth street, New York city. A well-known young man in this city, who was suffering from hernia, or rupture, consented to undergo the operation, without the old method of chloroform or ether being resorted to, for the benefit of the local physicians who are members of the society. Dr. Bodine's method consists of injecting a quantity of cocaine into the skin about the portion to be operated upon. Then an incision is made until a certain nerve is laid bare. Cocaine is injected into this nerve and the patient feels absolutely no pain while the remainder of the delicate operation is being performed. The patient, who is a strong and muscular young man, lay on the operating table for just one hour while Dr. Bodine and his assistant, Dr. Gilday, worked over him with their instruments. During the operation Dr. Bodine gave a lecture explaining thoroughly each phase of the case. The patient chatted with the doctors gathered about the operating table and even laughed at some witticism. He said at the conclusion he felt no pain at all. SUES TO AVOID MARRIAGE. Franklin, Pa.—Because her parents tried to compel her to marry a man nearly three times her age, pretty 18-year-old Ruby Agnes Holmics appeared before Judge Griswell, seeking to be separated from her father and mother and asking for the appointment of a guardian. The girl is a child in appearance while the man her parents wished her to wed is 45. He has been a friend of the Holmets family for a number of years and was always very attentive to Ruby. Recently Mrs. Holmes entertained at a card party. She astonished her guests by announcing the engagement of her daughter. When Mrs. Holmes daughter learned that her engagement had been announced she openly rebelled and sought the assistance of neighbors. Friends of the girl tried to dissuade her parents from forcing their daughter to wed, but Mr. and Mrs. Holmes were determined on the match. The courts were appealed to, and the neighbors charged Mr. and Mrs. Holmes with maltreatment of their daughter. The case was tried before an alderman, and a conviction was secured. Then the young woman went before Judge Griswell to have a guardian appointed. Rev. John Dows Gills, rector of the Episcopal church, was chosen. HORSE TURNS LIGHT ON. Faithful Animal Starts "Haunted Barn" Story—Hates Darkness and Adjusts Switch. York, Pa.—Allan F. Brillhart, of Dallastown, put electric lights in his barn. Some time later during the night he was awakened by people telling him the barn was lighted, and that probably somebody was trying to rob it. Upon investigation it was found that the locks were perfectly secure. This went on night after night until the neighbors began to think that the barn was haunted. Brillhart was not so superstitious, but had an electrician examine the wires to make sure no accidental short circuit could be made. The lights were again turned off at night, and the town patrolman and others were set to keep watch. The mystery was solved. The watchers caught Phoebe, an old mare, which had been turned loose in the stable every night, working away with the littelbutton of the switch, and when she got ready turned the light on with as much skill as a man. It then occurred to Brillhart that the mare had frequently raised the lid on the feed box, which had been left unlocked, and fed herself with an extra portion when no one was looking. Belling a Bat. The janitor of a bank in Cleveland, O., followed the idea in the old story of the man who caught a rat, put a bell on it and released it to drive all other rats off the premises. Traps set every night were filled with Lee rodents, and yet there seemed to be no end to their ravages. One morning the janitor chloroformed a big fellow and fastened a wire loop securely to its neck. To this loop were attached three tiny tinkling bells. The rat was revived by being placed before an electric fan and then allowed to go again. His bells have since been heard tinkling behind the walls, but he is a lonesome wanderer through what was once a populous rat city. All the rats have left the building. Can't Blame the Peer When a British peer cannot find an American heiress who suits him he is almost sure to marry an actress. But even a peer can hardly be blamed for wanting beauty if he can't have money. Mrs. Albert Metcalfe Is Placed in Charge of Naval Establishment at Sackett's Harbor, N. Y.—Husband Held Position. Sackett's Harbor, N. Y.—The charge and care of a government naval establishment has been turned over to a woman, and one of the tender sex for the first time in the history of the American navy has the rank of "ship-keeper." The woman is Mrs. Albert H. Metcalfe. She has been placed in charge of the navy yard near this town, on Lake Ontario, not far from the St. Lawrence, and will receive a salary of $365 a year. Albert H. Metcalfe, leeper of the yard since 1668, died recently, and his position was given to his widow. The Stickett's Harbor navy yard is not a big establishment. It consists of an acre and a half of ground, on which there are half a dozen small buildings, and a few guns used in the war of 1812. It used to be a prominent place, and shortly after the close of the war a ship-of-the-line, then the biggest and best type of war craft built, equivalent of the first-class battleships of modern times, was planned, and the building begun at Sackett's Harbor. The vessel was to have been the New Orleans. The work progressed slowly, however, and was finally abandoned, but the hull of the big vessel remained upon the stocks. Away back, probably along in the '40s or '50s, a man named Metcalfe was appointed "shipkeeper." In 1868 he died, and his son, Albert H., succeeded him in the position. Some years ago all that was left of what was to have been the New Orleans was tori down; but the position and the title of keeper remained. Albert H. Metcalfe watched the government belongings around Sackett's Harbor for 36 years, and then died. During all the years the bureau of yards and docks of the navy department has regularly submitted an estimate of $365 to congress for the annual salary of the "shipkeeper" at Sackett's Harbor, and that is probably the only place where the name "shipkeeper" appears in an official way on the records. HAZED FOR POVERTY; ILL. Nervous System of Young Officer of Guards in England Wrecked by Comrades' Treatment. London.—A young officer of the guards at Aldershot is under a physician's care in London, his nervous system completely broken down as a result of hazing. He is not rich and he declared he could not meet the usual regimental subscriptions. Consequently he frequently absented himself from the company of the other officers and kept to his own rooms. His fellow officers resented this, and to show their disapproval they stripped him, smeared him with motor oil, covered him with feathers, and plastered his hair with jam. He escaped to his room, in which he barricaded himself. His tormenters smashed down the door, whereupon the victim leaped from a window and sought refuge in a hotel. The other officers could not find him, though they sought him and he was reported to his superiors as being absent without leave. His physician telegraphed to the colonel of the regiment that the young officers is seriously ill. The secretary of state for war, Mr. Maldane, has been informed of the affair and has ordered an Inquiry. KING CHRISTIAN'S RICHES. Danish Monarch Leaves $1,000,000 to His Youngest Son, Waldemar —Others Provided For. Copenhagen, Denmark.—King Christian left the bulk of his fortune, estimated at $1,000,000, to his youngest son, Prince Waldemar. His eldest son, who succeeded him as King Frederick, has no need of a legacy, for the latter's consort, Princess Louise of Sweden, one of the greatest helresses of the house of Orange, brought him more than $15,000,000. King Christian's second son, the king of Greece, was likewise well provided with this world's goods. So the old king's modest wealth, for a monarch, goes to Waldemar, who married an Orleans princess, the lively Marfe, who has not hesitated to dabble in speculation to improve her family finances. It was she who from considerations of thrift was mainly instrumental in preventing the sale of the Danish West Ends to the United States. She "needed the islands in her business." Wash Pittaburg Air They are washing the air in a big office building of Pittsburg by an apparatus installed in connection with the heating and ventilating system, whereby the air is cleansed and all dust and soot removed before it is put in circulation. The device consists of a metal frame filled with coke over which water-trickles. All air entering the building is drawn through this filter by means of a fan and delivered under pressure into the various rooms. It is stated that during the last summer the fan was operated continuously with the windows closed, the air was thoroughly cleansed, its temperature lowered, the health of the office force improved and the daily output increased. Topeka, Kan.-L. E. Berger, a Topeka fireman, is minus an ear. "Old Bull," one of the horses on the fire department, caught Berger by the ear and shook him like a dog would shake a rat, severing the entire ear from his head. Another fireman saw the horse grab Berger's ear and ran to his rescue, but "Old Bull" would not release his hold until Berger fell to the floor of the fire station, minus one ear. The team, attached to one of the department wagons, had just returned from a fire in the county fall. Berger stepped in front of the horses to unnap the hames and lift them up to the hooks above the horses' backs. Without warning the vicious animal seized the fireman and shook him until Berger fainted. Then "Old Bull" stood there with the man's ear between his teeth, refusing to release it until a whip was used upon him. "Old Bull" has a reputation for viciousness. A few months ago, while being curried, he caught Fireman Baker by the top of the head. and shook him, pulling out a large bunch of hair from Baker's head. At another time he caught his trainer by the coat and shook him for several minutes. Despite this habit he is well liked by all the firemen, who say he is the best horse in the department. He will rush right into a fire, and seems to know that it is his duty to get to a burning building as soon as possible. One peculiar thing about "Old Bull" is that he never bites at the firemen except when he has returned from a fire and is being unhitched. MARRIES FRIEND'S MOTHER James W. Stanley, Seeking Modification of Divorce, Alleges He Was Deceived. New York.—James William Stanley asked Justice Greenbaum, of the supreme court, to modify a decree of divorce granted to his wife, Sarah Taylor Stanley, in 1900. Incidentally he made the astonishing statement that, whereas he had intended to marry his college chum's sister, he had since discovered that the woman who became 'his wife was his friend's mother. According to the affidavits submitted to Justice Greenbaum, Stanley first met his future wife in 1893. He was at that time 20 years old. He says in the papers now on file: "At that time, 1893, I was a student at Cooper institute, and there I met a young man named James Dye. He was about 16 years old. We became very friendly and he invited me to his house, where I was introduced to the plaintiff (Mrs. Stanley) as his sister. "I called frequently, and early in 1894 the plaintiffs mother suggested that I marry her daughter. She was then 33 years old. We were married February 14, 1894, two days after I became 21 years old." CHURCH HAS $40,000,000 That Total Reached in Voluntary Contributions During 1905 in Church of England. London.—Statistics just issued of the voluntary offerings of the Church of England for the year ended with Easter, 1905, are of considerable interest in view of the sermon of the archdeacon of London on the poverty of the Anglican clergy and the necessity of the reendowment of the Church of England. The total amount of these voluntary offerings exceeded £8,000,000. Of this amount £2,290,247 was collected for general purposes. The largest items under this head were £772,000 for foreign and £654,000 for home missions, £504,000 for philanthropic work and £230,000 for educational work and charitable assistance to the clergy and widows and orphans. Of the total amount £5,500,000 will go for parochial purposes, such as £713,000 for assistant clergy, £341,000 for the maintenance of elementary schools, £198,000 to school buildings, £187,000 for Sunday schools, £1,724-724 for church buildings, £538,668 for the support of the poor and £4,123,000 for the maintenance of church services. SAND TRACKS FOR WRECKS British Road Makes Innovation to Bring Cars to Standstill on Short Notice. London—In order to avoid runaway accidents, the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway company is making experiments on its Burnley branch line. A sand track has been fixed outside the down line between Cornholme and Todorden for a distance of 160 yards. It is a grooved rail fitted with sand, and after branching from the main line runs into it again. The idea is that when trains break away further up the gradient and run back, they can be turned on to the sand track from the signal and in this way pulled up and disaster averted. Train loads, varying from ten to seventy in number, were let loose, and went bounding into the sand track at 40 miles an hour. Some trains were pulled up in the track, while other plowed their way through into the main line again. Where Partiality Is Shown. Tobacco is a necessity and ice cream isn't, rules a Pittsburgh justice in passing on the Sunday laws. And yet the opponents of equal suffrage insist that women are adequately represented in the government. NEW INCUBATOR HAS CAPACITY OF 15,000 EGGS. Filling This Wonderful Hatching Machine Requires Expenditure of $6,000—Coel Used as Heater Instead of Oil Pembroke, N. Y.—The largest incubator in the world, with a capacity of 15,000 eggs, has just been completed by W. P. Hall, of this city. It is 102 feet long and four feet four inches wide. Partitions divide it into 100 compartments, each accommodating two trays. The trays have wire bottoms and hold 75 eggs each. To fill the incubator a single time with common—not thoroughbred—eggs would require an expenditure of $6,000, for eggs of the requisite freshness would cost 40 cents a dozen. As one hen covers 15 eggs for hatching, the incubator does the work of 1,000 fowls, or has the capacity of one hen sitting for nearly ten years. The incubator is heated by means of a cell of eight steam pipes passing over the top of the egg chamber on one side and returning on the other. These pipes are connected at one end of the structure to a water tank and heater. The water flowing through the pipes is heated to exactly the right temperature, a thermostat attached to the stove opening and closing the draughts to make this possible. The only attention required by the heater is supplying it with coal night and morning. The thermostat is an extension tank 10 by 18 inches, which stands over the heater. The tank is filled with oil, in which is a float. As the heat of the furnace warms the water, the water in the jacket surrounding the heater expands, and the float in the oil rises. This movement closes a throttle attached to the flat-arm, and shuts the draft of the heater; another lever at the same time opens the cold air draft of the furnace. In this way the temperature is regulated automatically, with extremely little variation, the eggs being kept at 102 degrees Fahrenheit. A second novel feature is that the heat of the eggs is regulated in raising or lowering them in the egg chamber, which is nearly a foot high inside, burlap separating it from the pipes. The egg trays rest on double frames, hinged by galvanized arms or levers. As the chicks develop tue trays are lowered on these supports, the first drop being made in six days, and others at intervals, until, on the twenty-first day, the trays are resting on the bottoms of the chambers. All infertile eggs are tested out on the seventh day. Mr. Hill built small incubators at first, but the oil bill for 40 of his small incubators, with 8,000 eggs' capacity, was $150 for a season, while a large incubator was run three months at an expense of less than $8 for coal. CITY REVERTS TC FOREST. Cammel Had 1,400 Inhabitants Once But Only a Few Remain Jersey Shore, Pa.-The town of Cammel, up Pine Creek, 23 miles from this place, is fast becoming a rival to Goldsmith's "Deserted Village." Twelve years ago there was a population of nearly 1,400 in the town. Today there are less than 100 persons living there. Then a fair-sized dwelling house there rented for $14 a month. To-day the same house can be had for $2 a month-indeed, there are a score or more dwellings in the place that could be had for the keeping up of repairs. The cutting out of the timber and the removal of the saw and pipe mills that gave the town its mushroom growth are accountable for its decline. In the height of the industrial activity dozens of mill men and loggers borrowed money from the building and loan associations, built homes, paid a high rate of interest for six years or more, then'let the property revert to the association. GLAD TO RETURN TO JAIL Escaped Prisoners Find One Victim's Clothes Insufficient to Protect Them from Cold. Wilkesbarre, Pa.—Burke, Otis and Melvin, the prisoners who escaped from the county jail, were recaptured at White Haven and brought here. They tell thrilling tales of the hardship endured since their escape. They held up a man near Parsons and got all of his clothes. One man took the coat, another the vest and the third the pantaloons. They then jumped on a freight train going to Philadelphia, but the cold on the mountain was almost unbearable and they were frostbitten when they reached White Haven. They rested themselves in the woods part of the time, but were driven out by the heavy snowstorm. When they got back to jail they said it was a relief to be in warm quarters once more and that they would never break jail again—at least not in cold weather. New Feature of Mancuvers In the mimic naval war on the British coasts in June the maceuwers will include the ordering of British merchant,ships into ports of safety. This is expected to involve a loss of time by 300 vessels which will cost the British admiralty $500,000. Ship owners will be paid at the rate of eight cents a ton per day on the gross tonage of each steamer for time lost, and each vessel will be insured by the admiralty at Lloyd's against loss of ship or cargo. Under Ordinary Conditions These Productions from America Command a Large Scale in China. Hongkong.—Under normal conditions American canned goods command a large sale and may be sold to control the market in China. The fruits and vegetables give universal satisfaction, and while the Chinese, since the boycott began, have either refrained altogether from buying or have made their purchases under cover, their sale to the foreigners has been satisfactory to the importers. The natives use condensed milk extensively, but seldom indulge in cream. The manufacturers of Swiss milk have entered the market with a good brand and allow Chinese merchants from 60 to 90 days in which to make a settlement. This plan enables the native dealers to dispose of part, if not all, of their purchases before payment is due, and the system has given so much satisfaction that the sales are steadily increasing. The English control the jam and preserve market and are so strongly intrenched that it would appear an almost impossible task to dislodge them. The recognized merit and well-deserved popularity of the goods have not, however, deterred American manufacturers from entering the field, but the results thus far have not been particularly encouraging. The American product is sweet, clean and palatable, but it is put up in cheap, unattractive tin cans with labels that, to say the least, are not exactly artistic. The English can is enameled, and when placed on the table, rather creates a desire to "look see," as the Chinese say, as to what it contains. Australian butter and meats, exported in ships containing refrigerating plants and kept constantly in cold storage after their arrival in Hongkong, control the market because they are good and wholesome and comparatively inexpensive. Their safe, however is confined largely to the origners. FIGHT WITH ORANG-OUTANG Ugly Animal Rules Deck of a Schooner at Sea-Captured at Last. Philadelphia. — Three able-bodied seamen, and the first mate of the schooner Hetty Erb are lald up in the hospital as a result of a battle with an orang-outang. The unique fight occurred while the schooner was on her way to this port. The vessel is now anchored off the William street grain wharves. The orang-outang is in a strong cage, but the sailors are still applying Inlment to their various brushes, contusions and lacerations. The animal was givenu to Isaac Erb, captain of the schooner, at Charleston. The crew named him "Teddy," because of his apparent strenuous "Teddy's" dignity was injured by a sailor feeding him a piece of cake coated with red pepper. The fight immediately began. The big monkey chased the man up the rigging, battering at him with a piece of lumber he had picked up. The bristle stood his ground and drove the sailor off. For two days he ruled the coming and the golings of the crew. On the third day "Teddy" got tangled in some ropes and some of the crew sprang upon him before he could extricate himself. The animal fought hard and battered his opponents. As a result of the struggle to overcome the animal, James Hardring, mate, is suffering a laceration of the scalp and severe contusions of the body; Peter Williams, sailor, lacerations of face and contusions; Henry Hales, general contusions. FEUDISTS INHERIT FORTUNE Over Ten Million Dollars Will Go to the McCoys of Kentucky Through Will. Owingsville, Ky.—Members of the McCoy family in Pike county have received notice that they are among the heirs to an immense fortune left them by Walter, William and Ezekiel McCoy, who went to California during the gold excitement in 1849. The fortune is estimated at between $10,000,000 and $20,000,000. The McCoys are well known as having engaged in a feudal warfare for many years with the Hatfield faction. They are among the settlers of the eastern Kentucky mountains. The McCoys who went to California were not participants in the Hatfield-McCoy war. The feud started over a mountain hog which both families claimed. The feud was long and bitter. One of the McCoys was tied to a tree and shot to death. One of the McCoys girls was killed during a battle one night and burned in her home. After long years of strife a truce was declared. It is understood there is an excellent chance for the Kentucky McCoys securing the bulk of the estate. "Vets" on Pension Roll. There are now more Spanish war veterans on the pension roll than the entire number of-Shafter's army in Cuba. In that whole war there were 698 deaths from wounds, 6,610 from all causes including disease, and 9,378 casualties of every description. There have already been filed 69,687 applications for pensions on account of that war—more than two-thirds as many as were filed in the same length of time after the civil war, in which over seven times as many men fought 15 times as long, with the loss of over 50 times as many lives.
