VOL. XXVI.NO. 2 My personal friend Dancy has just returned from North Carolina where he had an honorary degree of LLD. con- dured him. My old friend Lieutenant Thomas H. R. Clark is quite quiet nowadays. I wonder when he will write another obituary? Thomas knows how to write when he desires to do so. Some people think that they are smart. It is the successful men and women I respect. Some people are very tricky. Too much so for their own good. I am surprised to the cowardice of some colored people in this city. I would suggest to the Civic Association to close its business and stay away from Congress. There are some people in the country who believe themselves leaders. This new leadership that has so recently spring up in this city has done our people a great deal of harm. There is not one of them that can go to the White House and demand recognition. Many of them continue to lick the hand that smacks them. I wonder if the colored leaders so-called will ever have any manhood. The school bill will soon become a law and the judges of the court will have the power to appoint the Board of Education. I understand that the new Board will appoint new superintendents of the schools. There are many candidates in the field. The Commissioners will be relieved of delegates at any rate. The judges will be bothered, but I feel confident that good men will be appointed. The judges of the Police Court will have several new bailiffs to appoint. I hope they will see their way clear to appoint at least two colored men. Why doesn't the Civic Association protest against the Jim cars that come into this city? Now here is where that organization could be some benefit to the people. The new judge of the Juvenile Court claims to have ideas of his own. I will advise him to compare them with the lawyers occasionally because he might run up against a snag. The present Board of Education willrite with the satisfaction of knowing that it did its duty. There is one thing certain—Congress didn't intimidate it at any rate. If colored people read their own papers, more they would learn something. There is a great deal of politics in the Odd Fellows. Many of them seem to be jubilant over the defeat of our general friend J. C. Holmes. Mr. Holmes is one of the most liberal men in that organization and a man upon whom you can depend. There is but little brotherly love in the organization today. It is split up in factions and cliques. It is so in the church as well as elsewhere. I would have been pleased to have seen our old and reliable friend win. However, he is not independent, but a man of nerve. Now there is our friend Livingston. Not a more honorable man lives today. He is honest and upright. Fairplay. REPORTS AS TO RANSOM FALSE. Did Not Sit With White Woman Nor Pose as Frenchman. Boston, Mass., June 2, 1966. The colored people of Boston of every nation are deeply stirred up over the indignities to which their fellow-townman, Rev. Reverdy C. Ranson, pastor of the Charles Street A. M. E. Church, was collected by white passengers in Tennessee who mobbed him and drove him brutally from his seat in a Pullman car, and by the colored principal of the industrial school at Normal, Ala., who because of the assault upon him by these Tennessee ruffians not only forade him delivering the commencement address he had been invited to deliver by this same principal but turned him away from the grounds without offering him shelter, rest or food. Especial resentment is felt here by the colored people over the false reports sent out by the principal of the school at Normal, Ala., Rev. Ransom, coming straight back from Alabama, arrived in Wednesday from his long fast and suffering from injuries received on the train down. It has been found out that Rev. Ransom at no time was in the driving car and that he did not speak a word of German or French to any one; that he was conversing with no one when attacked. An hour before, a lady had asked him from a seat across the aisle if he were a Frenchman, pointing to the foreign tags on his suit case, he had replied in English, indicating he knew about a foot of French, two dozen words had passed between them. Previously Mr. Ransom and given the reporter a copy of his Gar- Jason Centenual oration. He bought his ticket, including Pullman, in Boston. His wife, who was with him, says he especially inquired if he, as a cooled man would be molested. He addressed his assailants in English at all stages. The uncomprehensive reports as to Rev. Ransom's condition by the school principal have also been found to be absolutely tame and to be undeserving of other anyway, masmuch as neither this principal nor his alumni were courteous enough to meet the distinguished visitor. Rev. Ransom's request to see the principal was denied. None of the messengers at the building on the outskirts of the grounds to which Rev. Ransom had been taken in a carriage would tell him why he would not be allowed to deliver his address or discuss the matter. They simply told him the principal was busy and had sent orders for him to leave the place at once. THE LAUNCHING OF "RELMAK." Last Tuesday evening between six and seven o'clock a number of invited guests were present at the Cumberland Boat House to witness the launching of the naphtha launch, "Relmak." This boat is a beauty and was built by its owner, Mr. Robert H. Johnson of 2252 Cleveland avenue. Mr. Johnson is also the captain, engineer and crew. This is the third boat built by him. "Relmak" took to the water easily and glided on the breast of the Potomac gracefully. Mr. Johnson is a good example for other young men, for by his works he is known. His family consists of himself, wife and little son, Furman. Among those present were Dr. and Mrs. Thos. A. Stevens, his mother and little son Thomas, Jr.; Lawyer and Mrs. E. A. Patton; Dr and Mrs. Edwards; Dr. Gray; Mr. Rapier; Mr. and Mrs. Jenifer; Prof. and Mrs. G. W. Cook; Mr. Kees, Mr. Moten, Mr. Downing, Mrs. and Miss Costin, Mr., Mrs. and Miss Clark, Mr. W. Clark, Miss B. West, Miss V. Washington, Mrs. Robert H. Johnson and Master Furman, Mr. W. Calvin Chase, Jr., Mrs. Gwathmy, Mr. Cole, Mrs. and Miss Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. Howard, Miss Lena Whipps, and Mrs. L. Griffin Brooks, Alexandria, Va. number of visitors, comprising both white and colored people, are here this morning to attend the ninth annual commencement of the Manual Training and Industrial School for Colored Youth, which has been so admirably managed by Prof. James McGregory and his estimable wife. Today it was pleasing not only to note the excellent condition of the buildings, and campus, but to note the interest which a large number of people manifested in the school. No doubt about it the school is filling a long felt want and the people generally admit that great credit is due to Professor McGregory and his assistants for the care they have exercised and the discipline displayed in every department. The industrial exhibit was creditable and the literary exercises were decidedly interesting. The members of the State Board of Education were present, and took a lively interest in the day's program. The graduates from the literary department were Mary Elizabeth Brown, of Woodstown, N. J.; Virginia S. Davis, Belmar, N. J.; Mamie R. Kiar, Oceanport, N. J.; Jules C. Laster, Jersey City; Lulu B. Madison, Asbury Park, N. J.; Olden O. Perry, Suspension, Ala.; Henry McNeal Shields, Union Spring, Ala.; Harry T. Walker, New York. Graduates from the Manual Training Department were Harry F. Walker and Mary E. Brown. The Hon. Jas. L. Hayes presented the diplomas and certificates. Addresses were made by Dr. J. H. N. Waring, of Baltimore, and the Hon. W. D. Forbes.

Special train leaves Washington 8.05 A. M. A GRADUATE OF TUSKEGEE. George H. Mays, Jr., who has just accepted the position of principal of the Manassas Industrial School, at Manassas, Va., graduated from the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute with the class of 1902. After graduation he was foreman in the McKinley Brothers Wagon Factory at Dempolis, Ala. In 1903 he accepted a position as superintendent of the industries of the Snow Hill Institute, Snow Hill, Alabama. The Snow Hill Institute was founded by William J. Edwards, and has thirty-two teachers, and four hundred students. Mr. Mays received a call in 1905 to become a member of the faculty of Wilberforce University, Wilberforce, Ohio, but he returned to assist in conducting the work of the Snow Hill Institute at the request of the directors of the school. He remained there until he was asked to take the position of principal of the Manassas School. Mr. Mays is a native of Florida. Before coming to Tuskegee he was a clerk in the Post Office at Jacksonville, Fla. It was while there that his father one day ran across an article in the paper in regard to the Tuskegee Institute and with his savings he had been able to make and with what his father was able to provide, he decided to give up working for the gov- MR. GEO THE EDITOR MR. GEO. H. MAYS ernment and to learn a trade. At Tuskegee he took up the trade of blacksmithing and at the end of his first year he was able to obtain work at his trade in the city of Vicksburg, Miss., where he earned enough to pay for his next year's schooling. While in school he devoted a large share of his time to reading in the line of his trade in order to obtain a teaching knowledge. The result was at the end of the four years he was in school he was not merely able to work at his trade but when later called upon to do so, he was able to teach it along with other simple mechanical industries of which he had acquired a knowledge while a student.

Lieutenants to be Captains. Congress may adjourn June 20th. EX-CONGRESSMAN WHITE Washington, D. C., June 6, 1906. Editor Bee: My attention has just been called to an editorial, June 2 and issue of your paper, headed, "The Jim Crow Rate Bill, Senator Foraker not Responsible," in which you state that "at the time the United States Senate was discussing the Railroad Rate Bill several gentlemen of the Civic League, namely, Prof. Kelly Miller, Ex-Congressman George H. White and Mr. Archibald, Grimke, went to the Capitol and urged Senator Foraker of Ohio to introduce the Jim Crow amendment, to wit, "Equal Accommodation for All Classes." I have not seen an editorial that had a day. To begin with, I am not a member of the Civic League nor do I know anything of its purpose or membership. I am absolutely ignorant of your declaration to the effect, that Prof. Miller, Mr. Grimke and myself ever made a request or said anything that could be twisted into meaning what your language indicates, to Senator Foraker or any one else. It is a fact, however, that the Constitutional League of the United States at its meeting in Philadelphia last February appointed a committee consisting of Gen. Henry E. Tremain, Mr. A. B. H. MAYS. Humphrey, both of New York Dr. William A. Sinclair of Philadelphia, Hon. A. H. Grimke of Boston and myself, as chairman, to call upon certain Senators and urge them to introduce an amendment in the Rate Bill, forbidding any discrimination to be made against Inter-State Passenger Traffic on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude. It was not convenient for Messrs. Tremain, Humphrey and Sinclair to visit Washington for that purpose, therefore, Mr. Grimke and I were requested to in behalf of the committee. We called upon Senator Foraker and made the request as above stated and urged that the amendment, which he promised to introduce, should not only forbid discrimination, but separation as well, knowing that wherever there is separation the negro never gets an equality of service. We also called upon Senator Crane of Massachusetts and made the same request of him and had his assurance of a hearty co-operation with Senator Foraker. Later I called upon Senators Dick and Warner and made a similar request, and had the positive promise from the former that he would aid us in our demand. My surprise and disgust can better be imagined than expressed when I saw the amendment introduced by Senator Foraker as it appeared in the Congressional Record of April 12, 1906. I was out of the city at the time, but immediately upon my return I wrote Senator Foraker the following letter (see copy of letter herewith enclosed). I pass your further criticisms and slurs over without notice. I have done much work and sacrificed much of my time, not only in the instance under consideration in behalf of my people, but have been engaged in similar work all of my life, and do not take kindly to criticisms wholly without warrant in fact. I am neither an officeholder nor an office seeker, but am trying in an humble way to attend to my own business. Permit me to suggest, in conclusion, that in the future, when you desire to criticise me and my work, that it will be well to seek the truth before rushing my name into print. (Copy.) Washington, D. C., April 27, 1906. Hon. J. B. Foraker. I have read and re-read your amendment inserted as "Section 3" as it appeared in the Congressional Record of Thursday, the 12th instant. I have conferred with quite a number of my own people, thinking men of moment, and our unanimous conclusion is that the amendment in its present form would do us harm rather than good. In the latter part of the Amendment the words, "Or equally good," and the two words next to the last word in the amendment, "equally good," open a loophole for all the discriminations now practiced in all of the Southern States where the Jim Crow car is in full force. Or in other words, this is the exact language used in most of the Southern Statutes, with reference to the separate cars for the white and colored people. It is our hope that the words quoted above may be stricken out so that the Section would read thus: "Sec. 3. That no carrier engaged in interstate commerce shall, directly or indirectly, by any special rate, rebate, mand, collect, or receive from any perdrawback, or other device, charge, desson a greater or less compensation for interstate transportation of passengers than it charges, demands, collects, or receives from any other person for the same accommodations, and a like service." Or that the amendment itself be with drawn. Trusting that you will pardon the liberty I have taken in writing you this letter, I beg to remain, Yours sincerely, (signed) Geo. H. White.

Do you want reliable news? Do you want furnished wire adverts? Do you want elegant traduct? Read and advertise in THE BEE Paragraphic News MRS. BEATRIZ L. CHASE Mrs. Chas. A. Moore, who is president of the Tariff League, spoke eloquently at the banquet and said that Protection was for all, meaning American citizens, or none. "There is nothing in the grand policy of Protection to apologize for or defend." Dr. I. L. Thomas is using all his efforts to wipe out all debts of the Church Extension Society, under the twenty colored churches on the second Sunday in November. Each church is asked to render all possible assistance. On the evening of the 25th of last month 150 of Philadelphia's business men met in a banquet in honor of the officers of The American Protective Tariff League. "The feast was an American one, no foreign food or language, no 'menu', but 'a bill of fare.'" We presume the men were in a nude state and ate with their fingers off of American tin plates and drank out of American cups. President Koosevelt has been generously complimented by the British for his message to Congress on the meat question, and at the same time the newspapers sounding a warning to the British consumers to let the American meat alone. How inconsistent. The Chinese government has appropriated funds for transporting all the Chinese in San Francisco who desire to return to China. A bill has passed the House which creates a United States Court for China which will try Americans charged with crime in China. One should not be led to think that because the meat packers use round cans for packing purposes that they cannot appreciate a "Square Deal." Rev. Dr. Conrady, a Catholic priest, is here asking aid for the erection of a place of worship for the lepers of China. With the June issue "Our Dumb Animals" presents No. f, vol. 39. Much good is being done by and through "Our Dumb Animals." Dr. J. N. E. Bowen delivered an address last Thursday in San Antonio and his subject was "Three Feet Make a Yard." To-morrow will be observed in many of the Methodist Churches as Children's Day. Some of the churches held celebrations last Sunday. The citizens who have the oversight of the Colored Social Settlement, 116-118 M street, S. W., gave a free excursion to the children, their mothers and the sick of the Settlement. Mr. Lewis Jefferson tendered the use of the steamer Jane Mosley and the Columbia Phonograph Company gave the use of graphophones. Notwithstanding Senator Gorman had been sick and confined to his home since the 16th of last January, his death last Monday morning was a surprise to all and a shock to those near and dear to him. The annual convention of the ExSlave Mutual Bounty and Pension Association convened last Monday at Miles Memorial Church. Rev. L. E. B. Rosser, pastor of the church, delivered the address of welcome, Monday morning. By the breaking of a saffold surrounding a large gas tank at the plant of the United Gas Improvement Company at Philadelphia last Tuesday six ment fell 10 feet. Sammy Ransom, the Beloit College negro athlete of note, Beloit, Wis., who was elected from a Chicago hotel a year ago on account of his color, was unanimously elected captain of the college baseball team. The Independent Order of Odd Fellows at Barrow-in-Furness, England, voted $50,00 to relieve necessities resulting from the recent earthquake, of the order's members in the California district, at its annual conference. Dr. Frank A. Brown, one of the wealthiest planters in Ouachita Parish, Tallulah, La., was indicted by a special grand jury last Tuesday on a charge of murdering Robt.-T. Rogers, who was lynched last week. MISS GIBBS RETIRES It is with sincere regret that the many friends of Miss Harriet A. Gibbs learn of her retirement as Musical Director of the colored public schools. Perhaps few persons occupying similar positions have had so rare a combination of abilities, and high talents as musician added to remarkable business capacity. As a tribute to these well-known qualities Oberlin College will confer an honorary degree upon her in music at the commencement this month. Under her direction the music of the schools has attained a high degree of efficiency. Her friends are pleased to know that she will remain in the city as President of the Washington Conservatory.

This individual was not engaged In saltatory exercises, as one would sup- pore, but was herding horses. Being asked by Mr. Muir for the loan of some flour, Ralph Hopping directed him to bis log dwelling, and told him to make himself at home there. The naturalist did so, and subsequently de. scribed Mr. Hopping’s abode as “A spa- clous Jog house of one log, carbon lined, centuries old, yet sweet and weather-proof, Hkely to outlast the most durable stone castle.” ‘The log had been hollowed out by Sre and thus merited the description ‘car- bon-lined.” It formed a most conven- fent and comfortable ready-made home. To Bar Undersiz:d Boys. The requirements of hefgbt at West Point for new cadets will be changed s0 as to keep out of the military, eer- vice boys who are undersized. The minimum height is slightly increased so that a candidate for a cadetship must be less than five feet four inches at 16 years of age and not leas than five feet five inches at the age of 18 and upward. Of.course, the usual re- strictions against deformities and in- firmities continue to prevail. The medical board for the examination of candidates will be composed of three army surgeons, one of whom will be the senlor medical officer on duty at the milltary academy. The new min- Imum standard of height for cand!- dates which has been prescribed will not go into effect until after the ad- mission of the incoming class. © To Honor Crban Patrict. ‘The people of Matanzas, Cuba, will honor the memory of Jose Marti, the Cuban patriot, by the erection of a monument In that city. E MANAGER . . ‘ GERMAN RULER HAS DEVOTED MANY YEARS TO THEATERS. ° Entire Dramatic World of Kaiser's Country Will Celebrate Kightieth Birthday of George II., of Baxe-Meiningen, - Berlin—German dramatists, actors, opera singers, impresarios and theatri- cal folk of all kinds will join in the ‘approaching celebration of the eight- Heth birthday of George II, reigning, duke of Saxe-Menneingen, the vener- able patron of the German stage and reformer of modern German dramatic methods. While his fellow sovereigns} on the other 20 odd thrones of the} Teuton empire have been applying’ themselves to purely affairs of state, Duke George bas devoted practically the whole of his reign to the theater, with the result that the “profession” in Germany reveres him as {ts own Particular distinguished head, Unitke other crowned heads who have devoted tme to the patronage of dramatic art, Duke George has brought to his hobby talent and capacity of ® really brilliant order and ranks by general consent as one of the greatest stage managers and “producers” in Germany. The court theater at Mein- ingen, in consequence, Is in a class by itself and once to have been a member of the Menningen ensemble fs a hall mark of talent coveted by every actor and actress jn the Fatherland. The duke was bori In 1826. Since his succession to the Saze-Meiningen throne in 1866, following the abdlea- tlon of his father, he has devoted him- self restlessly to the cultivation of the fine arts and his little court has been the center of the highest cultured Iifs of the country. Musicians, authors and actors have found there the same congenial surroundings that attracted Goethe and Schiller to the capital of the neighboring grand duchy of Saze- ‘Weimar in the reign of Grand Duke Frederick August in the early days of the last century.

Many are the anecdotes related by veteran actors of the care he has be- stowed on the thousand and one little things that so to make up a complete and fiawless production. He is noted as a particularly critical observer of rehearsals and is fond of drilling and redrilling stage mobs and crowds who have to act in unleon Iike the numer- ous ensembles in Shakespeare trage- dies. He has designed personally hun- dreds of costumes and stage settings and bas rebearned syllable by syllable every Hme in all the great standard dramas, both English and German. Such 2 record, MIs claimed by his friends, is perhaps without equal in the ‘stage history of any country. « The old duke Is venerated, apart from his devotion to the stage, for his bravery and brilliancy as a soldier. He is celebrated, too, as a thorough Ger- man patriot, for he broke with his fa- ther, the refgning grand duke in 1866, when Prussia went to war with Aus- tria, bis father abdicating the Saze- Melningen throne In order to side with Austria. George II then became reign- Ing duke and was made a Ieutenant general in the German army.

At Sedan and Chateau- dun, Duke George again distinguished himself. Owing to bis {mportunity to tbe allowed to do something for the new born Germany the duke was per- mitted to participate In practically every great battle of the war and was among the victorious staff of the old « kaiser and Bismarck when the tri- umphant Germans marched Into Paris and ended the sttggle. Duke George bas been married three times, first to Princess Charlotte of Prussia; secondly to Princess Feodora of Hohenlohe-Langenburg and thirdly to the actress Helene Lange, who after her morganatic marriage to his royal highness, recelved the title of Dar- oness Heldburg. His son by his first marriage, the hereditary Prince Ber- naré of Saxe-Meiningen, is married to Princess Charlotte of Prussia, a ulster of the German kaiser.

White, ex-member of Congress from North Carolina, a communication which we publish in full. If we did not do so he would at once conclude that The Bee was opposed to him on account of his color or that it wanted to treat him unjustly. It is not so. The Bee never looks at a man's color nor his station in life. The Bee admires a man and not an apologist. Mr. White says that he is not a member of the Civic League. This is one good act to his credit. We believe he is the Attorney General of the Supreme Royal Council of the United States of America. The Bee regrets that its editorial contained so many errors, but just how our distinguished representative managed to discover so many yet only pointed out one, we are at a loss to know. We will spare the delicate nature of Mr. White and decline to refer to errors. Now, we do not believe that the gentleman was slurred at all in that editorial, and if he was criticised he ought to be man enough to hold his temper. Mr. White says that he is neither office holder nor office seeker. Will he say that he never has been an office seeker, under the former as well as this administration? Did he not file his application for a job with Mr. Roosevelt? And did not Mr. Roosevelt say that he would not appoint him. It is useless to become a candidate for office after we have been told that you can't get one. Now, if our touchy friend would brace up a little and strengthen his nerves he would enjoy life better. The Bee has the most tender feelings for the honorable gentleman from North Carolina, who finds the atmosphere of the city of Washington more congenial than the place of his birth. The editor of The Bee has never found a place better than "sweet home." NEGRO LEADERSHIP the present negro leadership or that leadership that has developed since Mr. Roosevelt has been president, with but a few exceptions is mean and contemptible. What the negro wants to-day is a leadership on the order of Pinchback, Raney, Eliot and that school of politicians. This new school of politicians are tainted with the cowardice, of their former masters, thus making them the pupils of the slave school of humiliation. Take the leadership under this administration and dissect it. What is it? It is cowardly and the present administration knows it. It must recognize one leadership or other. The Jews have organized for protection. Every nationality is a factor but one exception. The colored man is a nonentity, and why? He lacks manhood. He sits and permits his every right to be taken from him without a protest. If he organizes he fails to direct for any good. The doctrine of State rights is still prevalent and the colored man must submit or be lynched. What is the colored man's hope under this present leadership? It is a gigantic failure, full of deception, cowardice and false ambition. There is a strong inclination on the part of our so-called leaders to impress upon Congress false theories and measures. The recent railroad rate amendment was suggested to Senator Foraker by men who ought to have known better. If many of these men would attend to business of which they are familiar, the race then would be benefited. This leadership is always suggesting something and doing nothing. MR. ROOSEVELT'S GREAT EFFORT. The greatest effort President Roosevelt made was on the evening of May 31 last before the graduates of Howard University at the First Congregational Church. If there ever was an effort to keep from saying anything that evening, President Roosevelt was most successful. If one has ever seen a horse walk on ice coming down an inclined street, a most remarkable and similar spectacle was displayed by President Roosevelt. The people were disappointed, and as evidences of their disappointment they looked each other in the face. Little did the President think of his door of hope in his effort May 31 to say to the coming colored man, "Yes, the door of hope is open to him." He thought of his last Southern trip. He was reminded of his pledge to the South, to close the door of hope to his faithful black allies. He said nothing for the colored student to hope for and neither did he say anything to which the South could take offense. His address to the graduates was anything but encouragement to him. The day will come, Mr. President, when you will need the colored man. THE NATIONAL AMUSEMENT CO. The National Amusement Co., presented to the people of this city at the Academy of Music Mr. Ernest Hogan in a play written especially for him, entitled "Rufus Rastus." The company went to a great expense to have Mr. Hogan to come to this city. This company, through Mr. John W. Patterson, is endeavoring to build a theater in this city, and his first move toward this direction was the introduction of, Mr. Hogan at the Academy. The Academy is one of the best playhouses in this city and while the surroundings may not be agreeable to the colored people, Mr. Patterson for once opened the way to have them to enter and feel for once that the days before the war had passed by, for a week at least. The daily press comments on Mr. Hogan and his show were the best that have ever been given any comedian white or black. ARTHER PUE GORMAN. The death of Senator Arthur Pue Gorman of Maryland takes from the Democratic party its most fearless leader. Mr. Gorman deserves credit for his rise in life. What he accomplished was by his own and individual efforts. He is dead but he never realized the fondest dream of his undaunted ambition—negro disfranchisement. He declared that he could die happy if he could only realize that hope. Senator Gorman has gone to a place where there are no disfranchise acts introduced. He has gone to that place where equality of souls exists and where the rich and the poor fare alike. He will preach no more negro domination and neither will he drink from a different fountain other than that prepared for all sinners. He will be missed by Tillman, Williams and Vardaman. Let him rest in peace. POLICE COURT APPOINTMENTS. Under the new District appropriation bill there will be several bailiffs appointed. Not since the appointment of Republican judges at that court has there been one colored bailiff appointed. It seems to us that at least two of the six bailiffs should be colored. Whether the judges will take into consideration the fact that the largest portion of the criminal clases are colored and appoint two colored, remains to be seen. There was at one time a col- ored bailiff in that Court but that was in the time of Judges Snell and Miller. The former was a Republican and the latter a Democrat. It is not a question of politics now. The man that can bring the greatest influence to bear is the one that will win. WILL ASK AID. The Young People's Congress will meet in this city from July 30 to August 5. There will be people from every state in the Union in attendance. It is the first time in the history of this city that such a large number of people ever assembled. The local ministry must entertain the visitors and to do this aid must be forthwith coming. THE BE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW. If a man is a gentleman, does it make any difference as to his occupation? The difference between a man who has a sheep's skin and the one that graduates? Has any man a mortgage on an office under this administration? Why is Congress-man Pearre opposed by Republicans? When Jim Crow restrictions are removed: why don't colored people take advantage of them? THE BEE WOULD LIKE TO SEE. Good man appointed on the new board of education. The day when colored men will not Jim Crow themselves. REV. WISEMAN INDIGNANT. Washington, D. C., June 2, 1906. To the Commissioners of the District of Columbia.—5 P. M. Gentlemen: Please allow me to call your attention to what I deem an outrage upon society, especially our women. It is bad enough to have the dirty close apartment car system of Virginia run into our city, which is an insult to the colored population, and Ledeem it a greater insult when our women, old and young, have to go to these cars, standing outside the depot (4·P. M. Mannassas) on the 6th street side, where they are pointed to what is known as the "Jim Crow" end, with neither steps or man to help them, but must get aboard as best they can. If this can be construed a municipal matter, I hope you gentlemen will do what you can to apply the remedy. Respectfully, J. E. Wiseman, Pastor Church of Our Redecmer, Luthieran. Residence 330. W street, N. W. FORAKER IS A MAN. From the Atlanta Independent. It looks like Editor Chase. Of The Bee will tie his fortunes to the coat tail of Senator Foraker in the next presidential campaign. If Editor Chase is anything he is for that white man that gives his face the most helpful consideration. Editor Chase may have his faults but it cannot be successfully contradicted that he is an intense race man. The Frederick, Maryland, Hornet attacks the Washington, D. S., Bee for being too vituperative to the negro race. And in reply The Bee voices our sentiments in saying that a "spade should he called a spade," etc, yet we are opposed to filling the space with the sins of the race. The sinner or wrong doer should be admonished, told of the disease of which he is afflicted and prescribe the probable cure. The Bee is correct, too, when it avers that negro pimps and rounders, gamblers and cut-throats desire to and do take prostitute women to our swell entertainments and ignore the ladies and respectable people. The Bee also spoke a pertinent truth when it said the negro does not like to discriminate in society, church, etc. We hope this will be a warning. Every negro thug aims to hob up at the very finest negro social or church gathering, and we must admit right here, though; that the better class of negroes are to be blamed for allowing them to. Negroes are too afraid of hurting feelings. Our constant cry to our people for several decades yet is, Learn'manners, common sense and be decent. THE CREED OF THE TALISMAN We believe that every citizen of this country has an inherent and fundamental right to an education which will train him to earn a living, and, if need be, to get his living straight from Mother Earth; and that he has the same right to the opportunity to have the work to do which will afford him that living, and to earn not only a comfortable livelihood, but enough more to enable him to be a homecrofter and have a home of his own, with ground around it sufficient to yield him and his family a living from the land as the reward for his own labor. We believe that the public domain is the most precious heritage of the people, and the surest safeguard the nation has against social unrest, disturbance or upheaval, and that the cause of humanity and the preservation of social stability and of our free institutions demand that as much right to life. liberty and the pursuit of happiness as the white man? And why hasn't the one who commits a crime the same right and chance to fair and legal treatment. Why should the one be incontinently killed like a mad dog while no violence would be done the other? Petersburg, Ill., May 5.—The structure known as "Lincoln's Old Store," which, until a week ago, stood in the rear of the Bishop building here, has been demolished. It was first erected at New Salem, and was occupied by Lincoln as a store from 1832 until 1835. In it the future President studied law, and mastered the intricacies of mathematics without a teacher; and while he occupied it he also laid out the city of Petersburg and many nearby towns. Robert Bishop, of this city, bought the structure in 1846 and moved it here. Lincoln himself assisted in the operation. It was used for a gunship for some time. Subsequently, when Mr. Bishop erected his brick structure, the "Lincoln Store" was pushed to the rear. Relie hunters had carried off much of the old building, and a storm wrecked the roof, so that its demolition became necessary. SAYS DRINKING BY WOMEN IS RUINING RACE. Journal, 1906. "When France preaches morality to America it is time for America to take notice," declared Dr. Madison C. Peters in his sermon in the Baptist Church of the Epiphany at Madison avenue and Sixty-fourth street. Then he quoted a Paris newspaper which said that "Because of the cocktail habit among American women the Americans are breeding a race of degenerates." Referring to drinking by women Dr. Peters said: "It is a well-known fact that common has the drinking habit become that the situation to a woman in society is constantly a source of embarrassment if she does not drink. The disastrous results of tippling among women are known well to physicians. Experience shows that while men who drink often reform, intemperate women seldom do. "The effect of alcohol upon woman's will power and sense of moral responsibility is so well-known that it is universally conceded there is a special danger to the woman who drinks. "Wines and liquors have their legitimate uses, and may be used beneficially, but in total abstinence lies the only ground of absolute safety, and I contend that were the higher classes of society or even our church people, both in the pulpit and the pew, to discontinue the moderate use of drink, drinking would be made unfashionable, for fashion is only another name for public sentiment. "Women are the law-givers; men are the subjects. The moral interests of society are in the women's hands, and if they lead in the right direction the progress of the race upward is assured. Surely the fact that more than ten thousand women were arrested in New York for drunkenness last year ought to be sufficient to make the people think. "The young womanhood of this city, driven to hideouts vice because of drink, and the steady growth of the habit, surely point to a deplorable outlook for the Republic." Hon. Leslie M. Shaw, Secretary of the United States Treasury, has appointed Col. Timme to the position of auditor of the postoffice department to succeed John J. McCurdy. The election of Col. Timme by Secretary Shaw seems to give great satisfaction from the authority of the Washington Bee. The Times can say that Secretary Shaw is a man capable of giving satisfaction as well as being an able member of the cabinet of President Roosevelt. Mr. Harry Smith, brother of the Rev. Dr. Smith, former rector of St. Monica P. E. Church, S. W., is now making his home with Mr. and Mrs. Jas. F. Johnson of D street, S. W., during the closing of the school term until he goes to Atlantic City. Veterans Favor Pensions for Ex-Slaves. At their reunion in New Orleans during the latter part of of April, the Confederate veterans put themselves on record as favoring pensions for negro slaves "who followed their masters through the war." A pity it is that they could not have shown a breadth of soul and sufficiently large sense of justice to include all needy ex-slaves, not only those who followed their masters through the war, but—more important than they—those who are broken down from having given willingly and unrebelliously their vitalities in field and big house to build the foundations and structural work for vast numbers of southern fortunes now being enjoyed daily with no thought of the negro life blood that entered into their making. Let the poor, suffering, unloved old creatures, who are still alive, have their absorption of the public lands into speculative private ownership, without settlement, be forthwith stopped; and that the nation, should create opportunities for homecrofters by building irrigation and drainage works to reclaim land as fast as it is needed to give every man who wants a home on the land a chance to get it. We believe that as a nation we should be less absorbed with making money, and should pay more heed to raising up and training men who will be law-abiding citizens; that the welfare of our workers is of more consequence than the mere accumulation of wealth, and that stability of national character and of social and business conditions is of greater importance to the people of this country as a whole than any other one question that is now before them; and we believe that the only way to preserve such stability and to permanently maintain our national prosperity is to carry into immediate effect and operation the platform of the Talisman. MR. TROTTER From the Advocate. Monroe Trotter's gallant fight in Massachusetts against the Jamestown Exposition graft has been in vain, unless it afforded an opportunity to find out who were men and who were our enemies. Curtis Guild, Jr., who, we had been led to believe, was a friend of the race and a man above all, bowed to the new federal god—Southern national prejudice—and declared that the colored man's integrity was greatly offset by "cracker" trade, and Massachusetts needed the money. If we recall aright Guild's predecessor, Murray Crane, had confidence enough in one of the Carolina's justice as to honor papers to remove a colored man to "God's country" for trial. The black man had done nothing, but assert his manhood. Guild has fallen into the rut and can also see justice administered to the man of color by the "crackers." Yes! Whenever we read an opinion, in The Guardian, we know that it is right! Keep up the fight, Trotter, and stick to your motto: For every right with ALL thy might! . THE EARTHQUAKE WIPED OUT .THE COLOR LINE. From the Liberator: For the time being the Afro-Americans in San Francisco are not hindered by the hell-born color line, the earthquake having destroyed it.' The loss of life among them was practically, nothing owing to the fact that color discriminations had driven them out of the danger zone. The awfulness of the calamity reduced all to a common level. Labor unions that had almost crushed out the Afro-American's manhood, immediately announced that no discrimination would be practiced while rebuilding the city. If earthquake will shake, down color prejudice, there ought to be real heavy ones all over this sin-cursed country. In the name of God give us anything that will blot out, even for a while, color prejudice, race hate and race discriminations and give the religion of Jesus Christ a chance to get a little foothold. The concentration of wealth, hypocrisy, sin and crime are about the only things that are on the increase in this Christian land. Lord, regardless of the means employed, give us a change. WHY THIS DIFFERENCE? From the Portland New Age. The other day a negro was arrested for some mid-meanor in New York, and while being taken to a police station, struck the officer and ran, the officer after him. Many people were on the street, and one man drew a revolver and in spite of the officer's protests fired two shots at the escaped prisoner. Then another man though commanded by the officer not to do so, took three shots at the colored man. None of the bullets hit the mark, but the negro was soon impeded by a crowd, tripped and thrown, and then all who could get in reach began hitting and kicking him. Then the cry went up, "Lynch him," and a passing dalryman furnished a rope, and the man, beaten half to death, would probably have been lynched except that the officer drew his revolver and declared that he would shoot the first man who tried to place the rope around the negro's neck, and then he was allowed to go. Why was this frenzied, murderous spirit displayed by ordinary passets-by on a prominent street in daylight in America's greatest city? Merely because the man was black and not white in color. These men who wanted to kill him did not know that he had committed any serious crime, as indeed it does not appear that he had. It is no very unu- sual thing to see a man running through the streets of a great city with an officer in pursuit. He might only have stolen an orange. If a white man had been the pursued, others might have joined in the chase or impeded his progress, but nobody would have shot at him, especially against the entreaties of the pursuing officer, much less beaten him unmercifully and desired and tried to lynch him. But all this happened to this man merely on account of the color of his skin. Why is this? What sort of civilization, not to say Christianity, is it? Why hasn't a colored man who does no wrong A GOOD APPOINTMENT. From The City Times. last few steps this side of the grave made less painful by a fit on money at regular intervals their hands.

Railroad construction is being pushed by two of the great lines that pass through the city, the Southern Railway Co. and the N. W. Both of these companies are constructing new lines around this city. As a result of this, real estate has taken a leap upwards in and around the city, and buildings are rearing up upon the hitherto vacant city and suburban lands. The Masons of this city, consisting of three lodges, had a large supper here last week for the purpose of raising money to carpet their splendid hall they have recently built. The supper was gotten up by a committee of the wives, daughters and widows of the Masons. Quite $100 was realized. Dr. J. W. Jackson is building a new house on 14th street not far from his residence. Lynchburg at last has a colored drug store. There may be others to follow soon. The Wesley Brotherhood of Jackson Street M. E. Church, of which Mr. Davis is president, will soon present a petition, endorsed by a large number of some of the most influential citizens of this city, to the city council asking that an ordinance be passed to prohibit women from frequenting barrooms. The Good Citizens' League, an organization of women, of which Mrs. L. B. Stearns is president, has expressed a purpose of doing work along the same line. Lynchburg Correspondent. MR. DAVIS' RECITAL Last Wednesday evening a large and appreciative audience witnessed the last of a series of musical recitals given by the pupils of Prof. Hilliary Taylor at the Enon Baptist Church, C street, between 6th and 7th streets, S. E. The pupils acquitted themselves in a highly creditable manner, each number receiving liberal applause. They were assisted by the following well-known artists: Mrs. Mary Elzear, soprano; Miss Gussie Clark, elocutionist; Mr. Joseph Carrol, tenor, Mr. Hilliary Taylor, baritone. The program was as follows: Invocation—Rev. J. I. Loving. Parade (four hands). C. Kolling—Miss Narcissa Taylor and brother. a. Barcarolle, O. R. White; b. The Brooklet, Henry Rider—Miss Mae Clark. Song, Calvary, P. Radney—Mrs. Mary Elzear. Going to the Woods—Master Willard Hughes. Sonatina, Op. 55. No. 3. Kulan; Allegro Conspirito—Master. Verndon Harcombe.

Song, "The Two Grenadiers"—Mr. Hilliary Taylor. The greatest funmaker in America or perhaps in the world is no doubt Mr. Ernest Hogan, who was greeted at the Academy of Music on Monday by the people of this city. Mr. Hogan gave the theater goers everything from ragtime to the classics. His play is called Rufus Rastus, who is known as a reckless, good-natured fool. He starts out more errors in so short a space in many being a fool and he ends a fool after having gotten possession of fifty thousand dollars. As a comedian Mr. Hogan's equal cannot be found. The person that doesn't laugh when he sees and hears this play was born dumb. Mr. Hogan is no stranger to the Washington THE WESTERN WESTERN WESTERN MR. ERNEST HOGAN. people. He is always welcomed here and those who failed to see and hear him missed a treat. The scenery and costumes are most beautiful. The most striking scenery is the ball room at Madison Square Garden. In this the participants are seen and heard to an advantage. This when the singers reach a classic pitch. The sextet vocal rendition in this scene is most remarkable. The contralto voice heard in this rendition electrifies the audience. The dancing is refined and the singing shows that the voices have been well trained. Miss Mamie Emerson is a favorite in Washington. She is a sweet singer. Miss Sarah Green sang very sweetly "Old Kentucky Home." Muriel Ringold as Snowflake, and Harry Friddler, the porter, are good character impersonators. Others who deserve special mention are Carita Day, Seliana Gildedge, prima donna of Coountown 400; Lazarus Tuttle, who sang Consolation, was called to the front several times. The ballet dancers were led by the Turner Sisters, Mabel and Maud. They also are two sweet singers. The star attraction of this play is Ernest, Hogan and he may feel proud of his reception. The credit of bringing this show to the city is due to Mr. John W. Patterson of the local bar. This is not the first time that Mr. Patterson has been at the head of a theatrical company. He is endeavoring to show to the people that he can break down this prejudice against them if they will help him. AGAIN REVERSED. The Court of Appeals reversed the judgment of the Police Court in the case of the United States vs. Harry Nelson on Tuesday last. Nelson was tried on the 27th day of last March before Judge Kimball for permitting gaming on certain premises in his possession and under his control, and sentenced to pay a fine of fifty dollars in default to serve three months in jail. Nelson through Attorneys Marion T. Clinkscales and Armond W. Scott, carried the case to the Court of Appeals and that Court reversed the lower Court and ordered Nelson discharged. Attorneys Clinkscales and Scott deserve credit for fighting their cases to the very last ditch. Mrs. Mary Francis, the mother of Dr. John R. Francis, was buried from the 15th Street Presbyterian Church Thursday afternoon. Rev. F. J. Grimkie preached the funeral sermon. Mrs. Francis was a Cornell and is from one of the oldest and most highly respectable families in this city. A mass meeting in the interest of the Young People's Congress will be held Monday evening at 8 o'clock at the Third Baptist Church, 5th and Q streets, N. W. Rev. James N. Lee, pastor. Distinguished persons will speak. Rev. Scott will preside. DR. CORROTHERS RETURNED. Dr. S. L. Corrothers, who has been to Salisbury, N. C. to attend the exercises at Li ingston College, had the degree of D. D. conferred upon him and Recorder J. C. Dancy had doctor of law conferred upon him. Dr. Corrothers says that Livingston College is the greatest in the world controlled by colored men. ITEMS ON THE WING. Prof. R. T. Greener has received through the Department of State the Order of the Double Dragon, third class, from the Chinese Emperor for services rendered distressed Chinese subjects during the late war. Sunday, June 10, 1906, the Wm. McKinley Normal and Industrial School of Alexandria, Virginia, will hold dedi- cation exercises in the rehearsal room and the John Hay Memorial Room at 2 P. M. Many prominent people will be present. Prof. J. W. Colgs, 33rd, degree, of Alexandria, Va., who has been teaching school in the state, has professional certificate from the state, won in a competitive examination held recently. The professor was for a number of years letter carrier here at Washington. June 30, 1900, the Bank of Mound Bayou, Miss., operated by colored people, will have the cornerstone laid by the M. E. Stringer Grand Lodge of Masons of the state. Mrs. Spencer C. Perkins of Detroit, Mich., in a suit for divorce claims that her husband is a negro. Perkins is a local yachtman and member of several clubs. He is suing his father-in-law for $50,000 damages for slander. White women marry Indians, Chinamen, etc., and there is nothing said, but the colored brother, when he does the act it is a great crime in the estimation of some. The negro has been in every war that this country has been in and how is he treated to-day? Given the wrong end of the stick. In the investigations made by Dr. Parkhurst against the New York Herald and its personal ad. columns, is shown up a considerable amount of dark dealings on the part of the advertisers, who principally are women. Many racy things have been brought to light. At a recent investigation made by Rev. Chas E. Walker of the Presbyterian Church of Hartwell, Ohio, as to why certain of his male members were absent, each answered and gave one or more of the following excuses: Work six days and reserve Sunday for rest; second, church members too cold to make you feel welcome; third, church members do not show a willingness to pay debts; fourth, preachers' sermons are ancient and uninteresting; fifth, too many hypocrites in the church. This is true. A person, unless they are able to dress fine, had better keep away from church this day and time. The majority simply go to see and be seen. The Simplon Tunnel which was bored through the Alps and which required seven years and cost nearly $15,000,000, is now completed and ready for business. INDIANS CLAIM ISLANDS. Three in St. Clair River May Be Property of Chippewas by British Deed. Detroit, Mich.—Louis Sands, chief of the Chippewa Indians on Waipole island, is authority for the statement that the Indians own Russell's, Dixon and Harsen's islands in St. Clair river. He claims to have proof that the islands were the property of the Indians by a deed from the British government. Chief Sands says that the agreement was made with the Indians in the year 1823 and that he has in his possession certain documents which prove the claims of his tribe to the ownership of the islands. When the new boundary between the United States and Canada was decided on the islands were transferred to the states by the British government. According to Chief Sands' story, the ownership of the islands was not considered at that time and the Indians lost their title to them because the officials in making the transfer did not notify the American authorities of the vested rights of the Indians. Chief Sands was in Windsor to engage Solomon White to take up the claims of the Indians and ascertain whether the American or the Canadian government can be held liable for the value of the islands. Mr. White is absent from the city and Chief Sands returned to his home in Walpole in the afternoon. He will visit Windsor when Mr. White returns home to have proceedings commenced as soon as possible. The three islands claimed by the Indians lie in the St. Clair, river and are considered quite valuable. They are small islands and are used as summer resorts. WANTED BLANCO'S JOB. Death of Cuba's Military Governor Brought Many As- Madrid—The recent death of Capt. Gen. Blanco, ex-military governor of Cuba, to whose lot it fell to surrender the island to the victorious American troops, has been the cause of endless excitement and gossip in military circles here, owing to the fact that no less than a dozen generals of more or less distinguished career aspired to the honor of being promoted to the rank of captain general of the Spanish armies, left vacant by the death of Blanco. It seemed for a time as if the government would be forced to create several new captain generalships in order to satisfy all the aspirants, but such step was finally discarded as ridiculous, and the king, with a display of discretion uncommon of Bourbon monarchs, put an abrupt and unexpected end to the conflict by issuing a royal decree by which the office held by the late Marquis de Pena Plata was suppressed. This, of course, has disappointed many, but as the principal source of trouble was jealousy, the fact that none of the aspirants was given preference over the others has served to cool off the easily warmed heads of the military.

Stillwater, Okla.-The latest bulletin, No. 70, issued by the Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical college, gives results from 14 years' experiments in the study of the growth of hardy Bermuda grass. It gives many points of particular interest to farmers, among which are: The hardy Bermuda grass grown on the station farm survived the winters of 1905 and 1906; the grass grown from the roots survived better than that grown from the seed; the grass prevented "washing" and it is the only grass that ever stood the test in this country as far as temperature and moisture concerned.

It strikes us that if the white people of the United States would pay less attention to their negro-phobic ideas, and more to the foreign element that is now in this country there would be less trouble. It is only a question of time that they will make things hum. The negro in the meantime is a law-abiding citizen and gets the worst of the deal.

HAS FIGHTING RECORD XX. - SENATOR CHANDLER IS KNOWN AS "HUMAN WASP." Man Who Caused Recent Row Over Rate Bill Noted as a Trouble Maker—Now Head of Spani- der Glider Simulation Washington.—Out from the musty tomes and the somnolent recesses of the scarcely known Spanish claims commission there emerged a few days ago a wiry, restless little man with a dynamic capacity for making trouble. Terrier-like in activity, vitriolic in satiate and searing in sarcasm William E. Chandler has ever been a disturber when he took a hand in public matters. It occasioned no surprise that his should be the hand to create a situation capable of keeping the senate in a boiling turmoll for a week, the White House in a foment of recrimination and denunciation and the whole country in a state of agitated interest. The cause for surprise is not so much that Chandler rocked the political structure of the country to its foundation, but, rather that he has been quiescent for so long. "The human wasp," was the title the senate bestowed upon Chandler and well he deserved the name. He is a stormy petrel of politics. "Born in a cyclone he has never ceased to revolve," thundered David B. Hill on one momentous occasion defining and denouncing Chandler. This outburst came after Chandler had driven the usually imperturbable Hill into a fit of passion approaching the apoplectle. Chandler seems to take an impish delight in creating trouble and once he has set the trouble going he quietly slips out from the vortex and with diabolic glee watches the frantic struggles of those he has precipitated into a row. The whole life of Chandler has been tumultuous. When Garfield appointed J. WILLIAM E. CHANDLER. (Head of Spanish Claims Commission Who Stirred Up Trouble at Washington.) him solicitor general he had a feud on with congress and had his name rejected. Arthur made him secretary of the navy and he served there until elected senator in 1887. He served continuously in the senate until 1901. There has never been a time since he entered public life that he has not been embroiled, with the possible exception of the last four years during which time he has served on the Spanish claims commission. That quaint and slumberous body housed in an antique brick headquarters on a sleepy thoroughfare induces serenity and acts as a deterrent to activity. Chandler is probably the only man in the country so shackled with drowning quletetude who would have kicked out of his deadening surroundings to reuse a tempest in congress. He is a product of New Hampshire. He is small, wiry, singularly active and intense. He reminds one irresistibly of a fox terrier. He is regarded as a man of singularly clean private and public life. There has never been a question against Chandler's honesty or his veracity until the president's assertion that he made statements unqualifiedly false. A favorite scheme of Chandler in his senatorial day was to foment trouble in that body. He would stand by the entrance to the senate floor and listen to the droning procedure. His eyes would dance with impish mischief and suddenly he would dart in and ask a question or two. He had the instincts of a scavenger. He knew where the more spots were. He could find a wound and tear it open and start it to bleeding afresh with unerring instinct. Once he had precipitated a row and had half a dozen senators wrangling and fighting like wild cats he would quietly slip out and from the side watch the struggle go on. When it was all over and senators stopped to think what it was all about and look for the cause Chandler would be nowhere to be found. Chandler's retirement to private life can be traced to the railroads. He got in the bad books of the Malne Central and that august corporation thought the affairs of the United States would be handled better if Chandler took no active part in the management. They sent a few able-bodied citizens into New Hampshire, and when the legislature elected a senator to succeed Chandler the wiry little fighter found himself left out. Roosevelt, however, as a great and good friend, stepped in and appointed him to the Spanish claims commission, a newly created body, with little or nothing to do. There he has rested ever since until the row with the president and the Democratic senators occurred. Ministry of Premier Sonnino Is. Defeated and Quit—Distinguished Career of the Latter. Rome.—Premier Sonnino in the chamber of deputies the other day officially announced the resignation of the cabinet. The Sonnino ministry was defeated by a majority of 27 as the result of the impatience of opposition which, contrary to the advice of former Premier Glolitti, who was not present at the sitting, would not wait for the uevelopment of the whole Connino programme, but attacked the cabinet, on a question of procedure, M. (Italian Premier Who Resigned with Cabinet Recently.) regarding the order of parliamentary work. Sidney Sonnino in 1894 saved Italy from the grape of foreign bankers and syndicates and placed it upon a paying basis. With little or no parliamentary backing, he was made premier by the king and his appointment, though highly distasteful to the officeholders, was acclaimed by the people. Sonnino has been the leader of the opposition for years. Cabinet after cabinet, formed by politicians whose only desire was to perpetuate themselves in office, went down to defeat after a few weeks' existence, and he has now suffered the same experience. Sonnino has had a distinguished career as editor, scholar, diplomat and statesman. He was born in Florence in 1847. After graduating from the university of Pisa, he entered the diplomatic service and filled various posts at Madrid, Berlin, Vienna and Versailles. In 1880 he entered parliament. While minister of finance and the treasury, in 1894, he started the chambers by a report showing that the country was drifting into financial ruin, and would soon be the prey of foreign syndicates and creditors. He backed up his assertions with an array of facts and figures that was astounding, but unanswerable. He then mapped out a new system of finances, which parliament was forced to adopt, and to which Italy to-day undoubtedly owes her prosperity. Several years later the politicians forced him out of parliament. He stood alone, almost a solitary figure in opposition to the policies of the men in control. He started a newspaper. Through it he has secured a powerful public sentiment in favor of his ideas. He fought a lone fight but the day came when the men who sought office for sordid purposes had to step aside for Sonnino. FOR HOLDING POST-CARDS Handy Device Invented by a French- man for the Preservation of Popular Souvenirs. Paris.—The fad of collecting picture post cards is greater in Europe even than in this country. In order that the collector may keep the cards in good order and display them to his friends a French inventor has devised ```markdown ``` the apparatus shown in the accompanying illustration. The cards are held in slits cut in a long roll of parchment paper, into which they may be inserted with ease, and from which they may be removed just as easily. A box of this nature will hold from 120 to 150 cards. Horses Regarded as Lucky. In the mythology of Europe horses have always been considered bearers of luck, and there was a superstition which once was current that the presence of a horse's hoof under the bed would cure certain complaints.

OLD ELKHORN TAVERN SITUATED ON SITE OF IMPORTANT CIVIL WAR BATTLE Fayetteville, Ark.—Among the many interesting places in northwest Arkansas, there is probably none of more historical importance than the Pea Ridge battlefield in Benton county, which lies in the extreme northwestern part of the state, bounded on the north by Missouri and on the west by Indian Territory. It was one of the first counties formed in the state, and was once inhabited by Indians, the Osage tribe predominating. From this tribe the well-known Osage Springs are said to have derived their name, tradition having it that an Osage brave had gone to one of these springs for a drink when he was shot from above by a member of the Delaware tribe, with whom the Osage Indians were at enmity. The battle of Pea Ridge was fought not a great distance from the present site of Bentonville, and was the most important engagement during the civil war. But two things now remain to call the attention of the visitor to the occurrence. One of these is the monument erected to the memory of the heroic confederate leaders and brave soldiers, who gave their lives that day; the other is the famous Elkhorn tavern, remembered for many reasons, and especially because it was within a few feet of this structure that Gen. McCullough fell. The monument is a tall marble shaft erected in memory of Gens. McCulloch, McIntosh and Slack, and of the hundreds of southern soldiers, who fell on that occasion. It was unveiled at a reunion held on September 1, 1887, more than 25 years after the battle of Pea Ridge took place. Here thousands of people, including many veterans, assembled to witness OLD ELKHORN TAVERN AT PEA RIDGE BATTLEFIED. the ceremony. The site of the camp ground was a beautiful spot, one mile south of Elkhorn taverns. From this place, in plain view, lay the high point, where Sigel's battery once stood, and to, the southeast of his position was Big mountain, where the confederate battery was stationed. The monument is a plain, unpretentious shaft. A square pedestal rises from a base, on the north side of which is inscribed: "General W. Y Slack, of Missouri;" on the west, "General Benjamin McCulloch, of Texas;" on the south, "General James McIntosh, of Arkansas," and on the east, "The brave Confederate dead, who fell on this field March 7 and 8, 1862." A few yards from the spot where the monument stands was Capt. Bledsoe's battery, which included the famous cannon, "Old Sacramento," which had seen service in the Mexican war. At this unveiling in 1887, Judge C. A. De France delivered an address, and was followed by ex-Gov. Lubbock, of Texas; Senator Berry, of Arkansas; Congressman S. W. Peel and Col. T. J. Patton. The history of Elkhorn tavern is scarcely less interesting than that of the battlefield. The site of this building was homesteaded in 1832 by James Hanover, of Illinois. Two years later he sold it to William Reddick, of the same state, who constructed the building known as "Elkhorn tavern." It was an ordinary two-story frame structure, with a porch in front and a tall brick chimney on the outside, at each end. On top of the building was a huge pair of elk horns, taken from an animal killed by a Mr. Cassedy. During the battle Mr. Cox, who then lived in the tavern, was forced to take refuge with his family in the cellar. The federals, when they had captured the building, took the elk horns off and sent them to New York. In the latter part of the war the structure was burned, but, in 1886, Mr. Cox, who still owns the property, rebuilt the tavern on the same site and according to the original plan. Then, through assistance of Col. Hunt P. Wilson, who had seen service in the confederate army, he secured the return of the horns. They were again placed on the tavern, just as they had been before, and are still there. Its importance to the union cause places the battle of Pea Ridge among the decisive battles of the war, although the loss of life was not very great. This disastrous defeat of the confederates kept Gen. Van Dorn from carrying out his avowed purpose of taking St. Louis, and carrying the war into Illinois. Compressed Tablets as Remedy. Eighteen different kinds of compressed tablets are now official in the pharmacopoeia of the Ferman army. Large Solid Gold Dolphins Once Be- decked Structure—Is Used by the Emperor. New York.—Is the novel castle at Nishma, Japan, the palace which Marco Polo described in his tale of the marvels of Far Cathay as covered with gold slabs? At the ends of the ridge of the pyramidal structure are large, solid gold dolphins. Beneath the pile is a well which is literally a salted gold mine. It is gold lined and will hold sufficient water to supply 5,000 persons. The dolphins, which were placed on the top several centuries ago, have excited the curiosity of for- KANSAKURA THE GOLD BEDECKED CASTLE IN JAPAN. elign relic hunters, as anyone might imagine they would. So many have climbed to the top of the high structure to discover by testing if they are real gold that the dolphins have become seriously disfigured. Strong steel wire bags have been put over them to prevent further vandalism. Only by good fortune does one of these dolphins still grace the old castle. A number of years ago it was taken down and sent to Vienna for exhibition at the world's fair held there as a rare specimen of ancient Japanese art. The vessel on which it was being returned sank, and it lay at the bottom of the sea for several years in spite of every attempt to raise it. Persistence was rewarded at last, for it was finally recovered and placed again in its old position. The castle is used by the emperor of Japan as his headquarters during the army and navy reviews. State balls are also held there. LARGEST·LEAF IN WORLD. Grows from Plant Named in Honor of Queen Victoria and Measures Over Five Feet in Diameter. New York.—The plant which has this most remarkable leaf is named after Queen Victoria. It was the tribute of a British traveler in a far away land when he discovered the unusual growth. The leaf was more than five feet in diameter, and around it extended a rim about three to five inches high, on the inside light green, like the surface of the leaf, on the outside like the leaf's lower part, of a bright crimson. The stem of the flower was an inch thick near the calyx and stud- LEAF OF QUEEN VICTORIA PLANT. ded with sharp, elastic prickles about three-quarters of an inch in length. The calyx was four-leaved, each upward of seven inches in length and three in breadth at the base; they were thick, white inside, reddish brown and prickly outside. The diameter of the calyx is 12 to 13 inches; on it rested the magnificent flower, which, when fully developed, covered completely the calyx with its hundred petals. When it first opens the flower is white, with pink in the middle, which spreads over the whole flower the more it advances in age, and it is generally found the next day of a pink color. As if to enhance its beauty it is sweet scented; like others of its tribe, it possesses a fleshy disk, and petals and stamens pass gradually into each other, and many petaloid leaves may be observed. "We met them afterward frequently," says an explorer, "and the higher we advanced the more gigantic they became; we measured a leaf which was six feet five inches in diameter, its rim five and a half inches high, and the flower across 15 inches." Gas from Cocoanuts Gas from cocoanuts is the latest illuminant. The coal of the Philippines has been found unsuitable for gas-making purposes. The government, therefore, has been experimenting in the laboratories, and has found that a gas of great illuminating power may be produced by a very simple method from cocoanut oil. The oil is slowly fed into retorts which are already red hot. Here it volatilizes very rapidly, leaving a small residue of tar. Bulk for bulk, the oil has a much greater productivity in gas than coal, and for this reason it is expected that, if the supply can be made to meet the demand, it will be greatly used all along the Pacific coast. Union Dues in Germany. The chief labor unions of Germany collect over $4,000,000 a year in dues. ILL LUCK MARK STOGA "HOODOO" HAS FOLLOWED KANSAS SENATORIAL SEAT. All But One of Predecessors of J. B. Burton, Recently Convicted of Crime, Left Office Under More or Less of Cloud. Topeka, Kan.—Is the senatorial succession to which belongs Senator J. R. Burton cursed with ill luck? Judging from the history of those who have occupied that same seat in the upper house of congress since Kansas was admitted to the union it would seem that a full-sized bird of ill omen had spread its wings over nearly everybody who has been of that succession. In fact, so much impressed was Senator Ingalls with the lucklessness of the seat that he referred to it as the "fatal succession." The United States supreme court the other day rendered a decision upholding the ruling of the United States circuit court at St. Louis sentencing Burton to fine and imprisonment for illegally representing a St. Louis concern before the government departments. Burton belongs to the Lane succession of senators. That is, he is the last to be elected of the line of which James H. Lane was the first, he having been elected the first senator of Kansas in 1861, the year the state was admitted into the union. Of the ten senators who have been chosen from that time to the present A. H. (Kansas Senator Whom the Supreme Court Declared Justly Convicted.) there seems to be only one of whom Kansas has reason to be justly proud and that was P. B. Plumb, but he in the very zenith of his power and usefulness died. He was in the first part of his third term. But ill luck seemed to have started with the Lane succession from the very beginning. Lane and S. C. Pomeroy were practically the only two candidates for the senate when Kansas territory was changed to the state of Kansas. This assured the election of both. But one of the terms was four years and the other for six. The question arose as to which of the two men have one or the other of the terms. Lots were drawn. Pomeroy drew the long term and Labe the shorter one of four years. The "hoo-doo" had apparently started its work. In 1865 Lane was reelected, but the following year he committed suicide. Gov. Crawford was called upon to name a successor for the unexpired term. He appointed Edmond' G. Ross. Senator Ross' days were full of trouble almost from the first. There arose a cry and a demand for the impeachment of President Johnson. Kansas was among the loudest in that demand. Ross hesitated. Then he voted against the impeachment. He may have felt that he was doing right, but it sounded his political death note. He was defeated for election in 1871 and cast aside and forgotten. He soon left Kansas disheartened and is now in New Mexico, where he is following the trade of a typesetter. Alexander Caldwell was elected to succeed Ross. He held the office two years, when he suddenly resigned. His resignation was forced upon him, however, as his enemies threatened that unless he gave up his seat they would bring charges against him that he had obtained his seat through corrupt means. Once more the governor was called upon to name a senator, and he selected Judge Robert Crozler. But the judge seemed to be ignorant of many of the essential points of the political game, and in 1874 he was defeated by James M. Harvey, who was elected to fill out the Caldwell unexpired term. But for some reason Harvey didn't seem to suit the Kansans, for he also went down in defeat before P. B Plumb in 1877. He was reelected in 1883 and in 1889. In 1891, as the old year was expiring, he came to a tragic death. Gov. Humphrey appointed Bishop W. Perkins to fill the vacancy until the legislature met in 1893. This legislature was controlled by the fusionists and John Martin was elected for the unexpired term of Senator Plumb, which ended in 1895. At this time the legislature was again Republican and Luclen Baker was elected over J. R. Burton after a bitter and exciting contest. In 1901 the legislature met as usual, but it did not seem to approve of the official conduct of Baker, for before the final action was taken Baker withdrew and Burton was elected practically without opposition. Great Britain Disputes with Turkey Over Land of Ten Commandments. London.—Unless the sultan of Turkey had heeded the ultimatum of Great Britain and called back from Tabah, in the Sinai peninsula, the 5,000 Turkish troops that crossed the boundary recently, cannon cars might have been heard where the thunders of God once rolled down to the children of Israel. The little furry over the boundary between Great Britain and Turkey, however, served to bring into the public eye again a locality which in historic interest is second to no MEDITERRANEAN SEA BEALO JINAL PENINSULA EGYPT RIVEL KILLE RED SEA SCENE OF THE DISPUTE little patch of land on the earth's surface. Tabah, the dried up little town which the Turkish troops occupied against the will of the Englishman, is overlooked by Sinai, the famous mountain upon the summit of which God gave to Moses the Ten Commandments. "And Mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the Lord descended upon it in fire; and the smoke threw ascended as the smoke of a fire, and the whole mount quaked greatly. "And the Lord came down upon Mount Sinai, on the top of the mount, and the Lord called Moses up to the top of the mount; and Moses was up." Mount Sinai is near the southern extremity of the peninsula. The mountain, which is TESG feet high, now called Jebel. The Sinai peninsula is to-day worthless a desert as the Israelites found it thousands of years ago and they had crossed the Red sea drybed. But it is altogether too close to the Suez canal for England to allow the semi-civilized. Turks to squat upon it even though the sultan may have a shadowy suzerainty of the territory.

Alexis will GRAND DIKE ALEX S GRAND DUKE ALEXS (Little Heir to Throne of Russia is Healthy Looking Chap.) be two years old on August 12th. He appears to be a chubby, healthy infant, the picture being in itself a contradiction of recent reports that he is a puny weakling and that he was seriously ill. The little grand duke has five sisters, the oldest of whom. Grand Duchess Olga, was born November 15, 1895. His youngest sister is the Grand Duchess Anastasia whose fifth birthday anniversary will be celebrated June 18 next. The empress was born in June, 1872. Bird Sanctuary in Germany. Bird Sanctuary in Germany. A bird sanctuary has been formed by Baron von Berlepsch on the greater part of his estate, Schlossgut Seebach, in the northern part of Thuringia. He has planted his domain with ever trees and bushes as are favorable for the nesting habitats of the birds, they supplied boxes in which the birds can safely nest and bring up their young and, finally, he provides the birds with the winter provender necessary in a cold and exposed region where they must otherwise perish by thousands from hunger during the summer season. Baron von Berlepsch preserves the birds as necessary to agriculture as well as out of love of them. City Greenhouse for Mourners. To encourage the poorer classes to decorate the graves of relatives and friends with growing flowers instead of with artificial wreaths or cut flowers the Hammersmith borough council, of England, has erected a greenhouse near its cemetery gates where geraniums and other pot flowers may be bought for a few pence Hitherto graves have been adorned with flowers placed in jars and bottles.

Provincetown, Mass.—Think of a landman investing 92 cents in the morning and receiving $50 at night in return for his outlay! Profitable? Yes, very. Yet that is what is happening almost every week in Provincetown. Thousands and thousands of dollars taken from the sea every winter by the largest dory fleet in New England is the proud boast of this fishing village. The summer visitor who sees these rugged fishermen arrayed as typical yachtsmen seeking to tempt the transients to embark for a dollar cruise at the cost of 25 cents little imagines that these same men during the winter months ply a vocation that, while hazardous in the extreme, gives better returns than the average "landlubber's" position, and that what the summer guest doles out as almost charity for the trip is simply "pin money" for the fishermen's wives. At the present time some 400 of the townmen are entertaining winter guests—in the shape of cod, haddock and other fish. A few specimen benefactions, taken haphazardly from the multitude, show that Nels Paterson cashed in $13 in nine hours; that "Billy" Miller and his three associates whacked out $72, and "Teddy" Newcomb and his two running mates $62 each in a fortnight, while Frank Crowley, otherwise known by the sobriquet of "Skerr Jack," and partner earned $74 in seven days. The last pair stood at the head of their class, but they were closely pushed by numerous rivals; amounts ranging from $70 downward to $50 being their reward, while such as received only $25 during the week were looked upon as almost candidates for the almshouse. In one recent Sunday ten carloads—more than 200,000 pounds—of fish, representing the town dory catch of Saturday, plus a few fish that arrived Sunday in season to catch the outpulling freight—went jolting cityward from the local depot; and other enormous shipments are of almost daily occurrence when the weather is not too boisterous for fishing. In all several million pounds of cod and haddock are shipped each year from this port. GREATEST GOLF COURSE. Plan of Millionaires Is to Have Links Superior to Any in the World. New York.—that the much-talked-of millionaires' golf club will be a reality is clearly shown by the activity which is now being displayed. The money was all subscribed a year ago, but now there is action. Charles B. Macdonald, the promoter of the scheme who is aided by Walter J. Travis on this side of the water, is now in Europe and has just sent the following circular letter from Paris, a copy of which has been published by Walter J. Travis: "It may interest you to hear that the project for building a national golf course is being advanced with all possible speed compatible with the necessity of collecting all the opinions of the best golfers in America and Great Britain. Several sites have been considered, and the choice now lies between three localities at varying distances from New York. "In the meantime I am making it my business to gather together all the requisite data obtainable in Great Britain, so that the national American course, when completed, may combine the best features of the classic links of England and Scotland. It is impossible to settle the distances and the nature of the 18 holes until the opinions of the best players have been collated and the whole matter thoroughly ventilated in the press of both countries. "I intend to devote two months to the task of procuring and examining all the data in this side of the Atlantic and shall be able when I return in June, to lay before you plans and topographical maps of all the best holes in this country, so that we shall have a large number to choose from and be able to evolve a scheme 'or the national course which will not only be far superior to anything at present existing in America but will surpass in variety and true golfing quality even the classic links of England an Scotland." Would Imitate Vesuvius. A genius at Fort Sill is planning to give an imitation of Vesuvius in eruption at Mount Signal, a peak of the Wichitas, next spring. This mountain is about 1,000 feet in height, and is covered to the summit with grass. The idea of the promoter is to form an artificial crater on top and explode patient explosives that pitch out balls of fire, which falling upon the grassy sides of the mountain, would produce a conflagration. In a short time the entire mountain would be one solid mass of flames, which could be observed for a distance of about 100 miles. Extraordinary Theft. Thieves stole the corner stone of the North Pasadena M. hodist church. The stone weighed about 300-pounds, and contained coins and other small valuables worth probably ten dollars. The church was completed a few days ago and is a large and expensive edifice. The corner stone was removed entirely from the premises. It was not known by what means the thieves made away with it, but they must have used some sort of vehicle. EARTH IN INFANCY LIFE WILL ENDURE A HUNDRED MILLION YEARS. So Saya Chicago University Geologist, Who Also Declares That the Earth Is Still Grow- Chicago.—That the earth will be habitable for a hundred million years to come is the belief of Dr. Thomas C. Chamberlain, head of the department of geology in the University of Chicago. This view he expresd in a lecture before the members of the Geographic society in the municipal museum recently. Prof. Chamberlain declared that climatic phenomena and temperature conditions of the last hundred million years warranted him in offering the foregoing optimistic prophecy. His basis for the theory of perpetuity for human life was his own "plantesimal hypothesis" that the world is not gradually cooling from a ball of fire, but that it gradually has grown in size by absorbing other smaller masses of matter. "The pseudo-romanticists picture the world as cooling into a frigid mass which one day in the near future is to become uninhabitable," said the speaker, "but if we are to consider the past we must admit that the temperature of the earth has remained always within the range where human life is possible. Therefore, it is only reasonable to suppose that the temperature in some parts of the globe will remain in that life range. Of course, the atmosphere may change in certain parts of the world as it has done, but it always will balance up. Once figs and tropical growths flourished in Greenland, while glaciers extended into India. This was due to an extraordinary swing in temperature. The present climatic conditions are due to a similar change. All these oscillations, however, have been kept in a narrow range for the perpetuity of life. "The earthquake is really only a trivial phenomenon of the earth. The great question for us is not what disasters impend, but what agencies are likely to perpetuate life." Prof. Chamberlain told how the land and sea cooperate to preserve life and the possibility of life. "We cannot look with indifference on the future," concluded the speaker. "The human race really has just come into possession of the earth. The fact that the rocks and the animals have had their eras of prosperity is the basis for my belief that we shall have millions of years to work out our ideals of intellectuality. I believe the world will be inhabitable for millions of years." CRAFT IN KING'S PALACE. London.—Graft in the king's household has resulted in several important officials losing their positions. The king has been aware for some time that certain goods used in his palaces came only from certain dealers, and the charge of favoritism was freely banded about. The king made a quiet investigation and learned that an elaborate system of commissions prevailed and that unless certain parens were "seen" and "fixed" the articles stood no chance of being seen on the king's table. The king took a severe view of this offense and promptly retired the guilty officials. He has, furthermore, made it widely known that firms endeavoring to gain a foothold in the house by corrupt methods will be debarred from orders for all time. The commissions have been particularly heavy in wines. The privilege of advertising a certain wine as the only one used by the king was so valuable that the favored firms secured the king's patronage by paying out small fortunes. ONE-ARMED VIOLINIST. Wisconsin Town Has an Inventive Musical Genius Worthy of Hudson, Wis.—Hudson has a one-armed violinist in the person of John N. Schwalen, who, though deprived of his right arm, plays the difficult instrument with considerable skill. He has invented an artificial hand, which he fastens to the slump of the amputated member, and with which he holds the bow so firmly and accurately that he has just as good command of the violin now, he says, as before the arm was lost. So far as is known here, Mr. Schwalen's invention is unlike any other device for this purpose. Mr. Schwalen is about 50 years old. When a boy he developed much skill as a violinist, and was frequently heard in public. When about 20 he lost his right arm in planting mill at Sauk Center, Minn., the lmb being so badly mangled that amputation just below the elbow was necessary. For 25 years he never handled a violin, but his desire to play never left him. A couple of years ago the idea of inventing a device for holding the bow occurred to him. Complaints of Insane. In Belgian lunatic asylums there are securely locked boxes in which any inmate may deposit letters of complaint. These letters are collected three times weekly by outside officials, who investigate every case; and if a person asserts that he is not insane, a prompt examination ensues by medical experta. Player at Monte Carlo Goes Broke and Begains Cash in Singular Manner. Paris.—Having lost every cent of his ready money at the gaming tables, an English visitor at Monte Carlo wired a pathetic appeal for help to a friend in England. Two days later he received a letter, addressed in the friend's handwriting, which on being opened revealed a five-pound note. Without pausing to read the letter, the plunger hastened to Ciro's, the famous restaurant in the Galerie Charles III., and changed his "river" into French money. From Ciro's he went straight into the Casino, where, experiencing an extraordinary run of luck, he not merely retrieved all his previous losses but gained a substantial increase in the bargain. Weary of play, he retired with a few cronies to Ciro's again to celebrate the occasion. The usually genial M. Ciro met, him at the door of his establishment with a flood of reproaches and upbraidings. The five-pound note was bad! He waved it angrily in the plunger's face—mails out, it was false, this five-pound note! The plunger took the guilty "fiver" and scrutinized it carefully. It was one of the sham bank notes issued by the late Sir Augustus Harris, and bearing on their face an advertisement of the Drury Lane pantomime. The English friend, himself as "broke" as the plunger, had posted him the flagrantly worthless note as a joke—a joke which, had the plunger taken the trouble to examine the "fiver" or read its covering letter, he would have seen only too clearly himself. It was fortunate that he did not do so. He merely paid Ciro his five pounds, and, inviting the pacified restaurateur to share in the champagne, pretended that the whole affair was an intentional witticism. WEDDED AFTER 40 YEARS. War Veteran Finds Former Sweet- Heart and Old Love Is Renewed. Palatine, Ill.—A wedding that had been delayed for more than 40 years, with war, disapointment and happi- ness intervening to give romantic odd- ity to the affair, took place here recently. James Shreve, 66 years old, and Mrs. Minnie Kellogg, six years younger, had been reunited by chance a few days before, and their love, thwarted by the call to arms in 1861, was renewed at sight. When the war began Shreve lived in a Pennsylvania town, whence he joined the union army, leaving his sweetheart, Miss Minnie Nehrer, at home to await his return from the field. When the strife ended the soldier returned to find that the girl had left the state and had come to some town in Illinois, having been informed that her lover was dead. Shreve came to Chicago and was married, but his wife died ten years ago. Miss Nehrer married a man named Kellogg, and since has lived at Palatine. After a happy wedded life, during which she became the mother of seven children, her husband died. All seven of the children live at Palatine. At the last state convention of the Grand Army the veteran met an old comrade from Palatine, who invited him to visit at the latter's home there. He met Mrs. Kellogg there. They recognised each other at once, explanations were made, and the wedding that had been delayed for more than two decades took place. CANVASSING BY TELEPHONE London Solicitors Have New Way of Adding to Burdens of Feminine Population. London.—The telephone, now installed in so many private houses, is likely to be turned into a troublesome adjunct of life if the new method of employing it for advertisement and convassing purposes be pursued. The following is an illustration: "Ring-a-ting went the bell of the telephone in my private house at teatime. "Ringer—Are you 0000 Kensington? "Receiver—Yes. "Ringer—Is Mrs. S—at home? "Receiver—She is. Who shall I say wants her? "Ringer—I am So-and-so,' a dealer in— "Receiver—A what? "Ringer—A dealer in —. Kindly tell Mrs. S— that I am taking this means of canvassing for customers. My address is (address given), and I am in a position to offer her advantageous terms. "The servant duly reported the conversation to the mistress of the house. She feels that a new terror will be added to the telephone if this kind of canvassing becomes popular. "The fact that the social hour of five o'clock, at which hour Mrs. S— was entertaining callers, was selected by the dealer for her venture did not indicate that she possessed finesse." Philippine Hemp Crop Short Exporters report a shortage of the hemp crop amounting to 100,000 bales, valued at $3,000,000. Drought and a typhoon in September caused the slump. Statistics forecast that the production for the first five months of 1908 will be 10,000 bales less than for the same time last year. Prices are high and continue to advance. Exporters expect that the crop next year will reach the normal amount. Many Electrical Inventions. More inventions are being made in electrical appliances than in all other industries combined. WRECK FERRIS,WHEEL WRECK FERRIS,WHEEL DYNAMITE REDUCES WORLD'S FAIR WONDER TO JUNK St. Louis.—Blown to pieces by a monster charge of dynamite, the Ferris wheel came to an ignominious end the other day, after a varied career of 12 years. At its ending it was unwep and ussung. Constructed as one of the engineering feats of a century, the wheel first was a feature of the Chicago world's fair in 1893. Then for a long period of monumental and unprofitable inactivity it towered in an amusement park at North Clark street and Wrightwood avenue. It finally was removed to St. Louis to form for the second time the huge mechanical marvel of a great exposition. For more than a month heavy wagons laden with the 4,600 tons of steel entering into its construction lumbered through Chicago's streets. The old wheel, which had become St. Louis' white elephant, died hard. It required 200 pounds of dynamite to put it out of business. The first charge was exploded under the supports at the north side of the structure, wrecking its foundation and permitting the wheel to drop to the ground, a matter of but a few feet. As the wheel settled it slowly turned with its bottom as a support, and then, after tottering a moment like a huge giant in distress, it collapsed slowly. It did not fall to one side, as the wreckers planned—it merely crumpled up slowly. Within a few minutes it was a tangled mass of steel and iron 30 or 40 feet high. The huge axle, weighing 74 tons, dropped slowly with the remnants of the wheel, crushing the smaller braces and steel framework. When the mass stopped settling it bore no resemblance to the wheel which was so familiar to Chicago and St. Louis and to 7,500,000 amusement seekers from all over the world, who, in the days when it was in operation, made the trip to the top of its height of 264 feet and then slowly around and down to the starting point. Following the blast that wrecked the wheel, but which failed to shatter its foundations, came an explosion of another charge of 100 pounds of dynamite. The sticks were sunk in holes drilled in the concrete foundations that supported the pillars on the north side of the wheel. The wheel was the wonder of two continents, by reason of its cost of $360,000, its dimensions, and its utter uselessness. It was the rival of the Eiffel tower of Paris. Chicago was glad to get rid of it, and St. Louis is said to have witnessed its destruction with satisfaction. George Washington Gale Ferris, president of a Pittsburgh engineering firm, originated the idea of the wheel that bore his name, taking the notion from a bicycle and adapting the constructive principles of steel bridges in its erection. Ferris financed the wheel, built it in Pittsburgh, erected it at the Chicago Columbian exposition, and took in $750,000 at 50 cents a ride. Then Ferris took a kaleidoscopic trip to Europe. Later he lost all interest in the monster, and died in Pittsburgh of tuberculosis. He was only 40 years old. The stockholders, who had made 100 per cent profit out of the wheel in 1893, later leased the ground in North Clark street, a short distance north of Wrightwood avenue and reerected it there. Ferris wheel park was not a success, and the wheel was taken down again and removed to St. Louis on June 3, 1903. The cost of taking down the wheel was $40,000. Its ruins are estimated as worth $3,000 as scrap iron. LOCATED BY EARTHQUAKE. Pennsylvania Boy Missing for Thirty Years Restored Through 'Frisco York, Pa.—William Neuman, who left this city 41 years ago and had not been heard from since his departure, has been located during the last few days. Neuman left York when he was only 18 years old. He never wrote to his relatives and they thought him dead. When the recent San Francisco disaster occurred Neuman was so disturbed that he cocluded to write a letter to his family, giving them an account of his travels and present whereabouts. He said that he had lived at Oakland on a farm for many years and that the earthquake had shaken him up considerably, but had done no damage. He will visit his old home again in the near future.He has several brothers living here, all of them being prominent business men. Due to Wooden Shoes The use of wooden shoes may explain why the exportation of boots, shoes and sole leather from the United States to France is comparatively small. There is, however, in addition to the peasant class using only wooden shoes, another smaller rural class wearing cheap leather shoes. The wooden shoes are made from walnut and birch, the latter being the cheap ones and retailing at 20 to 30 cents a pair. Entirely wooden shoes are carved out of a solid piece of wood. When the sole only is used the split leather uppers are fastened on with nails. Muskogee, I. T.—A field party that has been out collecting data for the Dawes commission has found a settlement of Indians living on the North Canadian near Burney known as the Texas Creeks. This clan of people seem different from any other Creeks. They are darker, more awarthy and conform more nearly to the Fennlmore Cooper type than any others of the Five Nations. There are about 50 of these Texas Creeks. They came to, Indian Territory from Livingston county, Tex., and were admitted as citizens of the Creek Nation by special act of the Creek council in 1903. They have taken allotments in the country around Burney. These Indians are a branch of the Alabama Greeks, who started to this country from Alabama in the early thirties. They lost their bearings and stopped in the pine lands of Livingston county. There are 300 or 400 of them there ngw, living on public domain in the pine timber which has never been taken up. When they got lost coming to this country they did not know where to go. All they could tell was that they had started to some place west of the Mississippi and after they crossed that river they were ready to stop. Before they found where the rest of the Creeks were they had established homes. All of the Texas Creeks were entitled to citizenship and enrollment in the Creek nation had they come here and claimed their rights, but out of the entire number only about 50 could be induced to leave their present residence. They are a nomadic people and rove about in the pine lands as suits their fancy. Two or three small bands from this company of Creeks wandered on westward until they finally arrived in New Mexico and Arizona, where they settled. This accounts for the small clans of Creeks now and then encountered in those territories. LOSS IN WINDOW GLASS. Sarious Effect of the San Francisco Catastrophe on the Industry. Pittsburg.—Because of the destruction of a vast amount of business structures in San Francisco and also of the entire reserve supply of window glass in that city, the window glass market of the country has assumed a new phase and probably one of the most unique in its history. The demand for window glass has been on a higher level during the last winter and spring than at any time. Just when the manufacturers were preparing to close factories for the warm weather, the San Francisco disaster came and wiped out a large reserve stock of glass and opened a great market in the refitting of thousands of windows in the stricken city. How to meet that extra demand has now become a problem. It was estimated recently that over $1,000,000 worth of glass had been destroyed in San Francisco alone. With what damage has been done in other cities along the Pacific coast this total will be much larger. The American Window Glass company, it is expected, will operate its machine plants all summer to relieve the situation. The Belgian manufacturers, who always enter the American market when prices get above a certain figure, are said to be casting about for a chance, to send forward a large amount of imported glass. This feature may keep down prices. A meeting of the window glass jobbers and manufacturers is scheduled for New York, to talk over the situation and decide some plan that will work out satisfactorily for the market during the busy year that seems to be certain to follow. The reconstruction work at San Francisco will not be ready for window glass before fall, but it will be necessary to get the stock in hand before then. Preference will likely be given orders from the coast all summer. MEDALS NOT GIVEN OUT. Carnegie Badges Awarded Two Years Ago Are Still to Be Made. Pittsburg, Pa.—Although over two years have elapsed since Andrew Carnegie founded the hero fund commission which bears his name, and the commission, after investigation, has awarded medals to 47 heroes whom it has discovered, some of whom have also received gifts of money from the $5,000,000 fund set aside by Mr. Carnegie, no hero medals have yet been given out. The commission has been going ahead making announcements of new awards, and the name of Carnegie has been heralded all over the world as that of the giver of recognition to those who have performed brave deeds, but the performers of these deeds, alas! are still straining their eyes for a first sight of the tributes which they have been promised. Secretary F. M. Wilmot, who supervises the work of the commission, says that the dies for striking the medals are being prepared, but admits he never has seen them. San Francisco Horror. Says the St. James' Budget: "San Francisco's tale of disaster continues to grow. Lord Dynevor's silk hat, we learn from a contemporary, 'perished in the Palace hotel, owing to a valet's forgetfulness.'
