Clabaugh in Equity Court last week denied the rule to show cause against the People's Mutual Benefit Insurance Company. In dismissing the rule the justice said, that the company was in a prosperous condition turning to Mr. Gardner said: What if you want me to do? In reply Mr. Gardner said, I want you to appoint a receiver. The court said I do that and gave as his reason to be stated. The membership of the company is about ten thousand and the one who filed the bill against the company asking for a receiver were first and from what The Bee has as a name, those four did not have any privilege against the company. It was remembered that at the time the law was filed in Court, there were no grounds for complaint against this company. It is one of the largest and most reliable companies in the city. The company has never at any time denied any of its members an account. This will be given at any time. The working of this company is wide open and since its organization no complaint has ever been made against its membership consists of colored people, who claim that the company is prompt in paying sick and death benefits when their teams are presented. Dr. Samuel M. Porter one of the examining physicians and no better young man practiced medicine in this city and no one does more for his people than this well known physician. The Bee stated last week that it would keep its readers informed as to the final outcome of the case but it has done. TOR LEADS VERMONT FIGHT. MAKE ISSUE OF REBATING EVILS.

NDS BROWN TO COLOR PROBLEM. Uses Question of Race? Prob- fect on Our Civilization. Neb. June 14. General Nelson, while addressing the graduates of the University of Neyra, raised the question of the effect of the red man, the black the brown man, upon American He declared the 8,000,000 Malays inhabiting our insular possessions would receive no better treatment at the hands of Americans than did the Indians, and went on to say: "The natives, who were dwelling in peace, contentment and happiness, when our ancestors landed upon our Eastern shores, have been driven from every valley and mountain crest until their race has been nearly annihilated. "The Ethiopians, whose ancestors were kidnapped on the coast of Africa and sold into slavery along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, were subjected to unrequited toil for more than two hundred years and have increased to between 8,000,000 and 10,000,000. "More than 8,000,000 Malays are held by the arbitrary power of our Government, with no immediate prospect of relief or independence. "Whether this will have an effect of changing our form of government from a pure democracy to a more restricted liberty and centralized power, the future alone can determine. "In fact, whether these different elements of our great population will continue as homogenous in the future as in the past is a serious problem. "The only hope and salvation for this nation is universal education and deep-seated, strong patriotism that shall permeate and control every community." M. J. A. LANKFORD. J. A.

Allen Shamefully Mistreated and Put off the Car. On last Monday night as Dr. E. H. Allen of 1115 4th street, N. W., boarded the car on Four-and-a-half street, South Washington, whither he had gone on professional business, finding the car crowded, he was compelled to stand up. He took a position in the foremost aisle in front of a white woman. This white woman objected to his standing there, and tried to push him off the car. The doctor held his place and the woman not being able to push him off, several young white men, aided by the conductor, came to her rescue, not even stopping to inquire what the complaint against Dr. Allen was, or what offense he had committed. Meanwhile the Doctor was very orderly, but stoutly resisted being put off. He was very roughly handled and finally put off the car. In the struggle, the Doctor had a new coat ruined and came home much worsted. It is a shame that colored gentlemen in the city of Washington, the nation's capital, cannot ride on a street car, especially if he happens to stand in front of some white woman, without being maltreated, insulted and abused. We know Dr. Allen and can testify that there is not a more peaceable, quiet, orderly gentleman, white-or black, in the entire city. These indignities against citizens of color are becoming entirely to frequent, and something should be done to put an end to it. SEVENTY-FIVE The new Board of Education will not be announced before the 15th day of July. There are at least 75 colored candidates for members of the new board. The judges are tired of the delegations- WILL MR. WEST ACT? Commissioner Henry L. West, who has charge of the police department, undoubtedly believes in humane treatment for man and beast. He believes in fair treatment and he is not a man who imagines that men under him are his inferiors. Citizens who call to see him are treated like human beings. The Bee desires to call the attention of Mr. West to the officers on the police force and ask him if he thinks it fair and just to compel officers to keep their coats buttoned during this warm weather, while thousands of others in the employment of the District government are not exposed to the hot sun and many of them don't wear coats seated in the shade. The Bee would ask, Who is responsible for this imposition on the force? Certainly Mrs. West is not. The Bee hears complains from the officers who are suffering and made sick from the heat of the sun. The time has come for Mr. West to give his personal attention to this department and see that an-order is issued relieving the officers of a burden that may in the course of time disable them. Why should members of the force be compelled to wear thick blue coats and pants this kind of weather? Let any human being observe how the officers are dressed and how 1 M. RICHARD BARTHOLDT. much they suffer this warm weather. The law should at least have as much consideration for human beings as it does for beasts. The humane society protects beasts, why not protect men? The people have the most abiding faith in Mr. West. They know that he has no knowledge of this oppressive regulation that officers must keep their coats buttoned from top to bottom this warm weather. The life of an officer amounts to nothing so far as some men are concerned. They are afraid to complain to the Commissioners because of the oppressive police regulations. A most ridiculous spectacle was witnessed a few days ago at the Police Trial Board. Two of the best officers on the force had been reported because they had their coats open. The testimony showed in one case that only one button was unfastened. In another case an officer had just left a car and was going on duty at the White House. Before he had a chance to button the one button he was reported and cited to appear before the Trial Board. This is but one of the numerous and ridiculous charges an officer must answer and stand trial or be dismissed. Commissioner West ought to revise the police manual and eliminate many of such silly rules. If Commissioner West would appoint the Trial Board himself the results would be different and more satisfactory. The Trial Board should be composed of men from the office of the Attorney for the District of Columbia. The officers of the police force should have more consideration. Many of them are faithful and deserving. Mr. West, allow the officers to unbutton their coats. You have a heart. A public meeting will be held next week, on which occasion Dr. A. R. Robinson of Chicago, Ill., will preside. Watch The Bee for particulars. BALTIMORE & OHIO EXCURSION. Sunday, July 1, $1.00 to Frederick. Keedysville and Hagerstown and return.

Clark, who came to this city from North Caliola and established a millinery department at dressmaker's training school. Mrs. Clark opened in True Reformer's Hall. This place not being large enough she rented a large and commodious building at the corner of 11th and You streets, northwest. By hard struggles and perseverance Clark has succeeded in building up a business and a school that will be a monument to Washington Mrs. Clark is a refined and cultured lady, full of business and push. The 5th annual commencement of her Dressmaker's Training School took place Thursday evening at ZionBaptist Church on F street between 3d and 4 1-2 streets, southwest. There was a large and representative audience present to witness the exercises and listen to a well prepared program. Mr. J. A. Lankford, president of the Business League, presided and opened the exercises by introducing Rev. W. J. Howard, who offered prayer. Mr. Lankford then delivered a most logical and eloquent address.

Masons of this jurisdiction celebrated St. John's day, at the 19th Street Baptist Church. The several lodges convened at Odd Fellows' Hall on M street, N. W., and escorted Most Worshipful Grand Master William H. Grimshaw and the Grand Lodge to the church, where a most able sermon was delivered by the Rev. Bro. Clair, pastor of Asbury M. E. Church. Short addresses were made by the oldest Grand Master of this jurisdiction, Bro. John F. Cook, and that of the oldest Mason, Bro. John A. Gray. Several hundred Masons attended the celebration, also a large number of ladies representing the Adoption Rite, the Order of the Eastern Star. The musical program was under the direction of Brother Jas. Walker, director of the choir. Between sixty and seventy dollars was realized at the offering. Prince Hall Chapter, Order of the Eastern Star, invited a number of ladies into the mysteries of the Rite last Thursday evening. Prof. Theodore Greener has returned to the city after a pleasant visit to Charleston, S. C. NEGRO ELDERS' HOLY KISS FOR WHITE SISTERS. From the New York Journal The novel spectacle of colored elders kissing white sisters and white elders kissing colored sisters was witnessed at the general conference of the Church of God in session in Tabernacle, No. 3, Hudson avenue, near DeKalb avenue, Brooklyn. It was the ceremony known as the "holy kiss." Several hundred attended the conference. The church draws no color line and about half of those present were colored. Bishop Marsh, the head of the local branch of the church, said that in the last year hundreds of white converts had been made in this State. The increase had been so large that he had found it necessary to ordain five new elders. Many of those present had taken only the first step leading to admission to the church—the washing of their feet by an elder. The next step was the "holy kiss." One after another the white converts pressed their lips to those of the colored and white elders and then the colored converts did the same. The "holy kiss" is not the only novel feature of the "Church of God." The members have a "prophet," and it is necessary to have the utmost faith in this leader. His word is law in everything appertaining to the church. The followers must contribute 10 per cent of their earnings for the support of the "prophet." It is said that the church is operating many business enterprises throughout the country, and that it expects soon to concentrate these enterprises in Belleville, Va., where a "Holy City" will be established. REGISTER VERNON COMPLI MENTED BY WILBERFACE UNIVERSITY. During the jubilee celebration last week of Wilberface University, among those who were visitors from this city were: Dr. E. W. Lampton, Financial Secretary of the A. M. E. Church and Dr. Q. J. W. Scott, pastor of Metropolitan A. M. E. Church. Register W. T. Vernon was also a visitor and delivered an address and was accorded an ovation. At the annual meeting of the Board of Trustees the degree of Doctor of Laws was conferred upon him. JUDGE CAUGHT IN TRAP SET BY CUNNING WIFE. St. Louis, June 16—Judge Arville Davis Jones, of Edina, Mo., who was a Populistic candidate for governor in 1896, is being sued for divorce on the grounds that he kissed his wife, believing her to be their mulatto servant girl. Mrs. Jones says she arranged a trap when Jones had planned to meet the girl in the dining-room. She took the mulatto's place, pulling all the blinds down and extinguishing the light. She says he seized her in his arms and kissed her, believing all the time that she was the servant girl. PROPOSED ST. LUKE'S CHURCH EXCURSION.

H., June 9—William Welch, residing near here, is 106 years of age, and is no doubt the oldest soldier alive who fought in the Rebellion. Mr. Welch enlisted in the Fourteenth New Hampshire Regiment in August, 1862, at the age of 62 years, serving through the war and being discharged at Savannah, Ga., in July, 1865. To the House of Representatives. Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen:..... I appear here to present my contention before this honorable body in the contest now under consideration by you, not because it is a pleasure for me to do so, but, that I feel that it is a duty imposed upon me by the great ruler of all Governments, expressed through the voters and citizens of the First Congressional District of the State of South Carolina. Gentlemen, there is a time for all things, and the time has come when this great American Congress, which has the scales of justice in its hands, to decide whether it will stand by the Constitution and laws, that were founded upon an equality to all citizens, irrespective of race color or previous condition of servitude, or whether it will allow the Constitution and laws to be trampled upon before its eyes, by the so-called election laws of the State of South Carolina. Can any State be greater than the Union? I answer no. The United States Constitution and laws are the Supreme laws of the land, and each official in the several States of the Union is bound by his oath to stand by the Constitution of the United States and the laws of the country. The 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution of the United States were passed by Congress and submitted to all the States and the people and Legislature of South Carolina, as well as other States, ratified and accepted these amendments, which became a part of the fundamental law of this country, and the State of South Carolina, and its citizens are bound thereby. Also, according to the provisions of the State Constitution of 1868, and the Act of Congress of June 25th, 1868, the fundamental condition of which was that the suffrage provision as it then stood, should never be changed. Therefore, gentlemen, I contend that the State of South Carolina has had no powers, given her to dephive any citizen who is qualified under her constitution and the Act of 1868 from voting, as long as this Act and the Amendments to the Federal Constitution have not been changed by the Congress of the United States. Mr. Speaker and gentlemen, the Amendments to the Constitution, and the Act of Congress of 1868 are both now in full force and are the supreme law of the land, and I contend that the members of Congress, each and every one, Democrats and Republicans, are in honor bound to uphold the laws of the United States and the Constitution thereof in obedience to the great obligation each member took by his oath or affirmative to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States when he was sworn in before the bar of this House, in the memorable Congressional Halls, as a member of the United States Congress. The Constitution gave the House the right to judge of the election returns and qualifications of its own members, and such judgment and qualification by this Congress can only be done fairly and squarely by ascertaining which of the two contending parties to a contest is the choice of the majority of the electors in the Congressional District under consideration according to the Constitution and laws of the United States then in force. This body need not consider the State of South Carolina at all if she has violated her obligations to the union. The 14,663 citizens and voters of the First Congressional District of South Carolina, some who were allowed to vote, others who were rejected, gave their names as well as the names of the precinct, ward and county in which they lived, thus offering the contestee the opportunity to discover any one of these voters who were not a resident of the place he claimed. Out of the whole 14,663 men over 21 years of age he failed to find one or to produce one of this number who was not at the polls as stated in the lists which are incorporated in the record in this contest. The committee also failed to produce one of this number who was not at the registration office applying for a certificate to enable him to vote, and who was not denied the said certificate. Mr. Speaker and gentlemen, the names of each of these 14,663 male citizens over 21 years of age, in the First Congressional District of South Carolina, were taken by a secretary or by the precinct chairman at each polling place as set forth in the record. The secretaries and the County Chairman were designated to act for the Republican candidate on the 56th day of November, 1904, and this was the only way for me to get my votes counted, or supporters of the contestee. In consequence we had a man appointers of the contestee. In consequence we had a man appointed by each Republican County Committee to take the names of these men which appear upon the lists in the record. The men were our managers and the only means by which we could safeguard the interests of my constituents. These men were instructed to write the names of each voter as he appeared at the polls and rejected by the managers. Under the heading of these lists in the record which reads as follows: State of South Carolina, County of Prescinct No. Ward No. Precinct No. Ward No. This is to certify that we, the undersigned citizens and residents of the county and State aforesaid are over 21 years of age, appeared at the registration office in the County and State aforesaid to be registered and were refused . And on the eighth day of November A. D., 1904, offered to vote for Hon. A. P. Priolean for Representative in the Fifty-Ninth Congress and were rejected. A number of these voters wrote their own names to the heading of these lists under the watchful care of the regular secretary and two more men acting as the Republican rallying committee at each of the polling precincts where the number of the voters were sufficient to warrant the same. We had these men sent there in time record the names of the voters at the time and place. And the number of rejected voters certified to by these managers are 14,429, and the State Board of Canvassers gave me 234, the contestee is alleged to have had 6,068 votes, making a total for me of 14,668 from this amount alleged to have been cast for the contestee, Geo. S. Legare, gives me, the contestant 8,505 majority. Now Mr. Speaker and gentlemen, what is the voting strength of the people of the First Congressional District of South Carolina as shown by the census of 1900? The Republican vote is shown to be 28,868 votes and the Democratic 1,500. These are the figures of the United States Government and they will show to you that the names on these lists on the record as hereinbefore referred to are absolutely correct. It is obvious to any one that the vote cast for me should have been from 20 to 25 thousand more, for the voters are there in the district and the Republicans have a large majority. I claim that 34,000 citizens who are voters reside in the First Congressional District of South Carolina and that had they a free ballot, all of them would have been cast for me and the Presidential electors. Mr. Speaker and gentlemen, if two men were intended from the creation to be a majority over one, and if three men were also counted to be a majority over two, and following the analogy as far as you wish to go, I contend that if every voter the Democrats could muster had come out to vote for the contestee, the Hon. Mr. Legare, in the numbers given by the census of 1900, he could not possibly be elected. The colored Republican voters are in a very large majority in this district. Mr. Speaker and gentlemen, there has been no claim by the contestee, his friends or supporters, that storms, cyclones, earthquakes and lava, rivers rolling therefrom, or any other destructive agents, visited this district so as to reduce or change the result of the Republican voters in the district since 1900 when the census was taken. Therefore gentlemen, I claim that all these people were in the district on the 8th day of November, 1904, and wished to vote for the President, Vice-President and for the candidate of the Republicans for a seat in Congress from the First District of South Carolina. The rights and privileges of these people were denied them under every scheme and unlawful pretext, such as could be devised. I brought the names of those who left their homes and offered to vote for me and were rejected by the friends and supporters of the contestee, the Hon. George S. Legare. This contestee or rather candidate who had the entire control of the election and used it to prevent legal and honest voters from voting their choice. Mr. Speaker and gentlemen, I have been deprived of 14,595 votes by the notorious and fradulent election laws of the State of South Carolina and bring my case before you, who are the legal and tribunal to decide this important question which by the Federal Constitution is the Court of last resort. Article 1, Section 5, of the Constitution o fthe United States reads as follows: "Each house shall be the judge of the election. returns and qualifications of its own members, etc." The Democrats of South Carolina, without warrant of the law and justice deprived 14,595 voters and qualified citizens of their right to vote. Under the rules and laws governing this body, and the power given to it by the Constitution of the United States, you, gentlemen, are to count these votes and to the members I appeal to "let nothing but the righteousness of this case guide you in your votes, for it is said that "The voice of the people is the voice of God," and I have presented to this Congress 14,663 votes, whereas the contestee, with all the election machinery at his back, only presented 6,068 votes, which leaves me and my constituency with 8,595 majority, which votes you have time and again, by laws and precedents counted for the contestent. In the election cases heretofore decided are the following: The admissibility of the declarations of voters made at the time of voting, as part of the ros gestae, is established by a long line of precedents in the House of Representatives: Bell vs. Snyder, 43d Congress, Rowallie Dir. Gov. Case Smith vs. Jackson, 51st Congress, Rowell's Dig. El. Cas., 436. Declarations of voters as to how they voted and their qualifications is admitted. Vallandigham vs. Campbell, 35th Congress, Rowell's Dig. El. Cas., 151. The latter is a member of The lists are admissible. McDuffie vs. Turpin, 51st Congress, Rowell's Dig. El. Cas., 454. The lists made at the time of voting and sworn to became a part of the res gestae and are the best evidence of which the case in its nature is susceptible. I Greenleaf on Evid, 14th Ed., Sec. 82. In the case of Murry vs. Elliott, 54th Congress, Rowell's Dig. El. Cas., 543, the returns showed that Elliott had a majority of 1637 votes. The polls were not opened at Haut Gap so the electors improvised an election board and 217 votes were cast for Murry, it was admitted by the committee that they should be counted. The frauds in Charleston were such that 43 per cent of the white vote was counted and 4 per cent of the colored vote was counted. The committee refused to accept the returns as prima facie correct and declared that legal ballots were unquestionably kept from the box by illegal and wrongful acts of persons connected with the machinery of the election. It is impossible to determine the number of these ballots, and the only logical and equitable result is to reject such returns. The contestant Murry was sworn in. Under this ruling the 398 votes at Ten Mile Hill must unquestionably be counted and by virtue of the illegal and wrongful acts of those connected with the machinery of election the returns must be rejected. Fourteen thousand, four hundred and twenty-nine legal ballots were kept from the boxes under the ruling in Murry vs. Elliott case and must be taken into account. Now Mr. Speaker and gentlemen, the question is up to you to say by your votes whether you will uphold the Constitution and laws of the United States or the so-called election laws of South Carolina. Under the Constitution of the United States the federal laws are the supreme laws of the land, and all judges and officials holding office under the general government is bound to respect the same. This government is a government of the people, for the people and by the people. The preamble of the Constitution of 1787 reads: "We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." Mr. Speaker and members of this distinguished body, the meaning and intent of the Constitution of the United States is evident. The 14th and 14th Amendments to the United States Constitution and the State Constitution of 1868 and the Act of June 1868 all were brought into life by the spirit and guidance of the great leaders. Abraham Lincoln was the Moses, the leader which God sent the second time to deliver and free all the people regardless of race, color or previous condition of servitude. Mr. Speaker, standing, as you are, at the head of his great American Congress, and with so many years of great honor resting upon you, and living in the hopes of the receipt of other and greater honors which may fall to the lot of so eminent a citizen, can you afford for it to be said, when you finish your course as Paul did, that you have lent your power to deny anyone or race of their rights? I answer no. Members of this honorable body, Republicans and Democrats alike, many of you have been honored with great blessings and you still have hopes of reaching the highest honors that can be bestowed upon any one of America's sons. With the bright hopes before you, will you allow your votes to be counted against righteousness and justice to all men and people? I am pleading for the 30 or 34 thousand Republicans and others in my district and my contention is right, and every member here knows that I am right. Therefore, leave off your personal feelings and obey the laws of God and your country. Mr. Speaker and gentlemen, the foundation of this government is shaking, and I fear that it will soon give way. Look at the daily news of a distressing nature, wherein thousands of people are called or rather snatched from life into judgment without a moment's warning. These are accidents that occurred by land and sea, by rail, by fire, by caving mines, storms and lightning. These are troubles that none of us can escape. Again, look at the ruders, homicides and lynching of men and women. These seem to be increasing daily. Also observe the separation of man and wife, and the thousands of lives lost in this direction. The heads of departments, the highest officials, the financiers, the millionaires and our great men, who help to make this country the garden spot of the world, are held up to the scorn of the public and revived, that the iniquities of many have come to light. Many are dead from the effects of these exposures, and many of the old fathers and builders of this country are much dismayed. You read daily of their decaying condition. We cannot tell after honorable and faithful service, they may be called to face a jury upon the charge of such a nature as may disgrace them living or in their graves. Why is all this? Because the Government has departed from the rules of justice to all its people. The voice of ten millions of colored people are crying for justice. You have refused to hear us and God has caused these distressing ailments to fall on us that we may turn to do right. When we do this, our land will be in peace and prosperity and our lives and liberities will be secured, for this is God's promise. Gentlemen, all the people of my race ask you to give them a fair and square deal, they ask nothing more. They do not ask for, nor are they seeking social equality. Equality before the law is all they want and the right to vote. I have been duly elected to this Congress and I am contending for my rights and that of my people. Mr. Speaker and (gentlemen, the first Congressional District of South Carolina is the black district, which was given over to the negroes by the Hon. B. R. Tillman, who, while he was governor, gave the certificate of election to the United States House of Representatives to the Hon. George W. Murry, for it was the understanding that under any circumstances the colored people should choose their own representative from this district. Subsequent events, however, remind me of the tale of two tramps who were traveling together. One a strong, large fellow, the other a small weakling. The bread they had was running low. The strong fellow took the whole loaf and said to his partner, "Now, Pat, I don't want any fuss or trouble about this bread with you." The weakly man cried out, "How in the devil you want no fuss or trouble when you take the whole loaf and leave none?" That is the way the Democrats did in this district. At first they gave it to us, now they take it away from us. They have seven Congressmen for the seven districts of the State and naturally they claim that they don't want and fuss or trouble. Mr. Speaker and my Republican friends, I have presented my case to you faithfully and squarely. My majority is 8,595, the destiny of me, my race and constituents are in your hands. We have stood by the party for forty years. We have helped you to elect Presidents, Vice Presidents and Congressmen in all the doubtful States, because we feel that your party is ours and your success ours. We are always ready to fight and vote for the grand old Republican party. Now gentlemen, in the name of the Ruler of all governments and in behalf of thirty-four thousand voters of the First District of South Carolina and the ten millions of colored people of America, I appeal to you for my seat in this Congress. You have the proof of the justice of my claims. You will need every colored voter of the country in the various district to hold your own this fall, and if the Republican members of this Congress refuse to vote for me, a Republican, and vote for a Democrat you cannot then expect the colored people in those districts and States which are close to vote a Republican ticket, for you yourselves have voted for a Democrat who was never elected, and the negro voters may follow your example. Therefore, a House divided against itself cannot stand; a kingdom divided will fall. But together we will stand. We find by looking over the history of the United States that the negro of the United States was brought here to this country in 1620 by the Dutch. During that period to the present he has been in the following wars: 1770, when the first blood was shed for the cause by Attucks a colored man, at Boston, Mass. During the same war one-half of the command of General Marion were black men; also 1812, where fully one-half of the army of General Jackson was colored. The war of 1861, in which the black troops performed wonders, and the late unpleasantness between the United States and Spain. So it can be seen that the colored brother has played his part in the fighting acts of this great republic and is thereby entitled to rights and benefits of the same. We learn that a certain brother is on the eve of being tried in the Blue Departments for alleged acts done in the Royal Arch Department. We should think that the act of 1896, viz., the Blue Department trying to settle acts committed in the A. A. S. R. would be a lesson to some, of our highly esteemed contemporaries. Prejudice is becoming more pronounced each day in this city. Yet there is a class of the race who draw the line like the white brother. We think the Masons made a mistake in not placing Bro. J. O. Holmes as W. M. He has rendered the lodge many favors (financial). At Boston, Mass., the circumstantial Evidence League has been formed. Its object is to demonstrate the unreliability of circumstantial evidence, especially in murder cases, with a view to secure a change in the law. ACCUSED OF HERESY BISHOP GRAFTON ATTACKED BY A MILWAUKEE MINISTER. Wisconsin Episcopal Prelate Charged with Recommending Prayers to the Saints—Passages Objected To. Milwaukee.—Bishop Charles Chapman Grafton, head of the Episcopal church in the diocese of Fond du Lac, Wis., who is charged with heresy by Rev. William Austin Smith, rector of St. Paul's Episcopal church in Milwaukee, is one of the foremost high churchmen in this country. In a letter to the Living Church, Rev. Mr. Smith writes: "One reads with amazement the letter of Bishop Grafton, entitled 'Prayer During Trial' (the heresy trial of Dr. Crapsay), in the Living Church. It is not its panic stricken temper, its wall against broad churchmen which confound. It is the polytheistic litany which he borrows from 1544 to put upon the lips of twentieth century churchmen. "If Bishop Grafton will permit the choice, many of us prefer, if we must utter a pagan prayer, one of those beautiful petitions of Socrates addressed to 'Pan and all the other gods.' This whine of the bishop to 'St. Mary, all the holy patriarchs, prophets, apostles, confessors and virgins' halts pathetically in comparison. The Greek pagan had the merit of dignity and spiritual poles. "It is almost amusing, were it not tragic, to see an American bishop tumbling into heresy while casting missiles at heretics and storming heaven in behalf of the faith once delivered." Here are some extracts from the prayers to which Rev. Mr. Smith objects: "Oh blessed Lord, look in mercy on this poor and distracted portion of thy P mystical body. We are unworthy of any favor, but are rather deserving of thy punishments. Yet, for the honor of thy hood and blessed mother, defend her, assaulted by insulting heresies. While we.deserve naught at thy hands, yet thou wilt surely defend her honor who bore the and whose holy and immaculate virginity is denied. Do not let her blasphemers triumph. Oh, Lord, bring to naught the conceits of the profane and carnally minded, and preserve thy church in the faith once and for all time delivered; for thy mercy's sake. "Oh, Saint Mary, mother of God our Lord Jesus Christ, pray for us. "All holy angels and archangels and all holy orders of blessed spirits, pray for us. "All holy patriarchs and prophets, apostles, martyrs, confessors and virgins, and all the blessed company of heaven, pray for us." Bishop Grafton was born in Boston. He began his religious work in England as an evangelist. He returned to the United States in 1872 and remained in Boston, where he was pastor of the Church of the Advent, until 1885, when he was elevated to the episcopacy. He has taken the vow of cellibacy. He believes in the Real Presence. He celebrates mass in a manner very near to the ceremonies of the Roman Catholic church and in his own diocese wears the nitre and other canonicals of a Roman bishop. He is possessed of a unique personality and his teachings and plans have been the subject of much discussion all over the country. He cherishes the hope of the unity of evangelical churches along high church lines so nearly approaching Roman Catholicism that it would be difficult to differentiate between the Roman and Episcopal churches. Bishop Grafton is now about 65 years old. He is rather feeble physically He's wealthy in his own right and has built up one of the finest cathedrals in America. There are six priests directly under Bishop Grafton. They address the bishop as "my lord." A cathedral school has been established and a school for choir boys. Bishop Grafton does not think there is danger of the high and low churches separating. "Our observances of high service," he says, "simply show the catholicity and comprehensiveness of the Episcopal church. There is an agreement on essentials between high and low churchmen and toleration on matters of opinion, instead of disturbing elements. We are divided like the waves, but like the sea, one."

STRANGE SPANISH TOWN. Salinas Perched on a Mountainside and Completely Isolated—Built Many Years Ago. London.—Sallinas is a very ancient Spanish town situated in the mountains. It is perched on the side of a peak, and, looking down on a valley of superb grandeur, commands a magnificent view.

When he left Hamilton he had in his pocket $250 that was raised by hig friends, and hé hed his private bak deposit with him. the total amounting to about $405. Out of this he had to pay for his second-class pas- sage to Athens, which ran away with about $75, and when he got there he found expenses piling up on every hand. His board, which was poor and meager, cost him $2.50 a day for over two months. What he got to eat con- sisted principally of rolls and coffee, and anything outside of-that he had to buy for himself., Such items as meat and fruit were heavy extras. By the time he had paid his return passage by the Campania bis money was all gone except about $20, and by the time he landed In New York he had @ropped to $2.

Russian Natives Kill Families and Selves to Escape Star ‘vation. ‘St. Petersburg.—One of the most terrible storles of nomadic vicissitude ever told bas just reached St. Peters- burg. It is to the effect that an eritire tribe, the Tshuktobees, numbering about 2,000, has just perished by its own act as the last avenue of escape from famine, ‘The tribe Inhabited one of the bleak- est parts of Yaktusk and obtained a precarious subsistence by rearing reln- deer. Early in 1905 a deadly disease appeared among the deer and by win- ter the entire herd had perjshed. The unfortunate people endured much, hoping that spring would bring some better prospects. This hope was dis- appolated and with slow starvation staring them In the face the elders of the tribe spent a day In discussing what should be done. The almost in- credible decision was that each father should first kill his family and then bimeelt. 2 On the following day the appalling tragedy was carried out in the open air in a general assembly. The only exceptions were a few old men with- out families, who when left to them- eelses had not the determination nec- essary to commit sulcide and some of them continued to drag on a miser- able existence unt!l they were found.

A few years ago a young woman. attracted great atten- tion in Vienna by reason of her beauty and her luxurious mode of liv- ing. She was a mystery to the Vi- ennese, No one knew who she was or where she came from. At one time she would give herself the name of an old aristocratic family; on an- other occasion she would’ represent herself as tho daughter of a titled Englishman. She was remarkably gifted, In spite of her youth she could speak a a dozen European languages, and was a first-class planist. One day she suddenly dilsappeared and left _be- hind her numerous unpaid bills. The creditors set the law in mot{on, but ‘she could not be found, Subsequently the Viennese creditors learned ‘that she had played the same game that marked her stay in the Austrian capl- tal, She had contracted so many debts that, having reached the end of her tether, she caused an announce- ment of death to be sent to Vienna. Meanwhile she journeyed to the ‘south of France, where she made the acquaintance of an African potentate who Invited her to become: his wife “his third or fourth wite.

ATTACKED BY FLYING FISH Schooner in Hawaiian Waters Made a Target for Thousands of the Creatures, Hoholulu—The steamer Claudine was attacked by flying fish In the Hawail channel, between the Islands of Hawall and Maul, a few days ago. The scarchlight on the vessel evident- ly attracted and angered the fish. A large school of the fish suddenly rose put of the water and instead of fying away trom the: boat, as fs usually tho case with that variety of fish, they flew over the bow of the craft. One of'them flew directly for the light and broke the glass, putting the light out of commission. A dozen fish reached the upper bridge of the vessel and two struck the side of the man on watch, nearly knocking him over. It has been noted by island captains that the searchlights seem to affect the flying fish In a very strange way. The fish evidently do not Ike the Ddright light cast upon the waters, for they invarlably fly at the light, prob- ably in an effort to extinguish It, after the fashion of moths trying to extin- guish a candle.

If the smoke clears away sufficiently to permit of a clear view, it will be fount that the “prints” are reading ‘the life or Horace Greeley, Herbert Spencer's works, the Typographical ‘Vnton Journal, the dally papers, or other thoughtful printed things. | When Informed of the low death ‘rate among their fellows, most of these serene-looking readers advanced some reason for the happy condition. “It’s the simple Ife we lead,” said one ot the strikers, as he glanced up, peering over bis glasses and marking his place in the book with one finger. “It’s a wonder more working printers do not die, with the stuff they have te copy, the close workrooms and the nerve-destroying noise of machinery. “Now, take me for an example, Fo: nine months I have not worked. Havins only ten dollars a week in strike bene: fits, { have kad to economize. I ea less, yet, I have gained flesh. Insteac of riding on the street cars [ walk. | probably walk ten miles a day.

They should go on strike and taste the delight of doing nothing, of being at peace with ten dollars a week sure and the public brary avallable walking ten miles a day, eating less and thinking more on abstract things.

Sheriff Merritt, since he has been in office, has recelved numerous applica- tlons ftom women who wish to be deputy sheriffs, but he has refused them all. ‘lhe appointment of the Misses Long and Kennedy was made, St was announced, because they are well-kuown ‘charity workers, and In theemploy of the county as agents to investigate homes where It Is decided to put children.

A dock, which has probably the highest altitude In the world, has re- cently been completed at Port Flor- ence, cn the Victoria Nyanza, in Ugan- da, Africa, at an altitude of 3,800 feet above Sea level. The dock has been constructed to accommodate the Nyan- za fleet plying on the lake in conjunc- tion with the Uganda raliroad. It measures 250 feet in length by 48 feet wide and 14 feet deep. It was ex- cavated out of solld rock by native Tabor and- occupied 12 months In con- struction, at a cost of $20,000.

REGICIDES ARE RETIRED. . Servian King Has Had a Number of ‘Men Put Cut of the j Sonn Belgrade.—The five regicide officers whom King Peter retired from the army én full pay in order once more to establish diplomatic relations with Great Britain and also te account for bis own fears participated as follows in the horrible tragedy of three years ago: Col. Popoviteh; who was apparently devoted to King Alerander and Queen Draga, worked for two years drawing young officers Into the plot. He drew| up a detailed plan of action and took a train from Nish to Belgrade on the| night of the murder. He immediately] took the lead with Col, Mashin in the| slaughter. Col. Mashin was Queen Dragas! orotherin-law. He had fallen into dis} favor and joined the conspiracy. Ho| assisted at all the meetings of the com spirators, donned a uniform on th night of the murder and presented] himself at .the fortress as the new commander. He led the troops to the| palace. When he arrived there the King and queen and Gen. Petrovitch,| the commander, had not yet been diss covered. With his help they wers found and murdered. Lieut. Col. Mishitch had long been suspected as being a malcontent. The minister of war had overlooked him for promotion, and although King Alexander made amends by summon- {ng him to the palace and personally conferring upon him the rank of Ileu- tenant colonel, Misbitch never forgot the slight and took the most active part in the crime and assisted, at the death scene. Lieut. Col. Lazarovitch was fre- quently In disgrace under the former regime, and only remained in the army through the influence of his relatives. He played a sanguinary part in the tragedy and with his own hand stabbed both the king and the queen. Capt. Kostitich was tha commander of the royal guard. He had been load. | ed with favors by King Alexander, bu! | having failed twice In the examination for the rank of major, jclned the con splracy to better his prospects. RELIEVED OF HICCOUGHS- After Year's Suffering Philadelphia Girl Is Buccessfully : ‘Treated. ‘ Philadelphia—The horror of seeing a boy crushed beneath a trolley car more than a year ago brought to Mary Doshotesky, 18 years old, of 925 Federal street, an attack of hit- coughs that Jasted until recently, when it left her. “a 3... 0 7S Just what remedy deserves the credit for the cure, the girl says she fs unable to decide.

There are in this country two national organizations among the colored people. One is the National Business League, which Mr. Booker T. Washington is president, and the other is the Niagara Movement, of which Mr. Du Bois is secretary or national head, so to speak. The object of one is to teach the colored masses how to accumulate property and conduct business. The aim of the other is to teach manhood rights. Both organizations are valuable and one is as helpful as the other. Manhood rights without property and a knowledge of business cannot perpetuate a people, and on the other hand you cannot hold to your property and conduct your business without manhood rights. Would it not be a good idea to combine both of these great organizations? The accumulation of property and a thorough knowledge of business will command respect and give to the colored man that standing in the business world that he has not heretofore possessed and place him in a position whereby he can command his manhood rights which is the impetus of the Niagara Movement. What is mostly needed among the colored people is union of their leadership and not a division. The colored man in business will convince the more fortunate race that equality of citizenship can be best obtained when the colored man demonstrates his ability to do and to act as his more fortunate brother. To do this, however, there must be a combination of forces. Such a combination can only be realized by the representatives of the forces getting together. What has the National Business League accomplished since its organization? It is able to pay a national organizer a good yearly salary. It has united the business element among the colored people and it can do more when eevry element unite. What has the Niagara Movement accomplished since its organization? In this city there is one individual connected with it, who imagines that he is a leader and the existence of the movement in this city depends upon him. He is a nonentity at his home in Tennessee and amounts but to little in this city if anything. The declaration of principles of this organization is all that can be hoped for and when this one obstacle is removed' or his power curtailed it is believed that more headway can be made in this city. The advice of The Bee is, let the forces combine and fight the enemy. Let Du Bois and Washington unite their forces for the good of the race they both represent. The political leader among the colored people has been a failure. Office seeking and the false hopes that have held out to the colored man by political parties and more especially the Republican party, have subordinated and humiliated his manhood rights. The Bee has refrained from expressing its opinion on the Ransom-Council affair at Normal, Ala., because it has been in doubt. The Bee is in possession of several communications and affidavits bearing on the case, and if these letters and affidavits are true Mr. Ransom is in the wrong and Prof. Council is not to blame. The colored press throughout the country, with but few exceptions have printed only one side of this controversial which has placed Professor Council in an embarrassing position. If what Prof. Council and others state is true Mr. Ransom received better treatment from the school than what he deserves. Dr. Ransom is one of those fresh individuals, some say who know him, and they are not surprised at the manner in which he was treated by the Southern whites. Mr. Ransom should have gone to Alabama in a quiet manner and if he desired to display his knowledge of French he should have waited until after he had delivered his address at Normal, Ala. The Bee declines to publish the many communications in its possession because it will do no good, but it will say from what it has, it is of the opinion that Prof. Council acted the part of a man, notwithstanding the fact that Mr. Ransom failed to carry out his part of the contract. AN APARTMENT STORE. A subscriber writes to The Bee to ascertain what it means by an apartment store, of which brief editorial mention was made last week. This means a store that contains several apartments of merchandise, conducted by colored people, a store that will contain a sufficient number of apartments to employ our boys and girls who have nothing to do after they leave school. What inducement is held out to our boys and girls after they leave school? Colored men who have money, always make an effort to build large houses or hotels and rent them out to white people; they will not invest their money whereby the masses are benefited. Efforts will be made therefore to build in this city a large apartment store and employ hundreds of our boys and girls. The colored people will be given an opportunity to show their race pride. To the regret of this paper the True Reformers' grocery store in True Reformers' Hall was closed this week. Chief Griffin, the most successful chief that has ever been placed at the head of the local organization in this city, has done all in his power to conduct that store in the interest of the order and the colored people. There are 4,000 members connected with the organization in this city and it is not believed that one hundred of its members patronized the store. Chief Griffin had three clerks employed and would have had three dozen employed had he receive proper support from the people. It is claimed that an apartment store will succeed in this city if it is properly managed and patronized. Here is where the ministers have an opportunity to show their race pride and loyalty. This store will contain at least 15 or 20 apartments and it is the desire of the managers to employ from 200 to 300 persons. The enterprise will be laid before the people in a public meeting some time in July. It is hoped that the ministers of the several churches will lay the matter before their members and urge them to attend. Something must be done for our boys and girls. Although we have failures in this city, white people have failures; why not colored people? Definite notice will be given the people at the proper time. THE NEW SCHOOL BOARD. There are hundreds of applicants for membership on the new Board of Education. Just why there are so many applicants for a place that doesn't pay any salary The Bee is at a loss to know. Chief Justice Clabaugh is besieged with applicants and delegations in the interest of applicants. The Bee is particularly interested in the colored applicants because the white population will attend to the others. The most amusing things that confront the judges are the charges each applicant makes against the other. Some charge that there are applicants who have heretofore attempted to pass for white. Some others claim that certain applicants are too black. Others charge immorality, while some others charge ignorance. Now if the Chief Justice can succeed in selecting colored members of the board he will do more than the colored population This is small business that many resort to in an effort to defeat worthy men. There are to be one colored woman and two colored men appointed on the Board of Education. Will the judges succeed in appointing persons who will be acceptable to the people? This question of school trustees has been a bother ever since the establishment of public schools in the District of Columbia. Many of the old school trustees have had personal axes to grind. Many a worthy teacher has been rejected on account of her color, social standing and lack of influence. Our graduates from the schools have been ignored and outside teachers have monopolized our schools. The poor washerwoman's daughter has been put behind simply because she has no social standing. It is hoped that the judges will canvass the field thoroughly and none but competent and worthy persons be appointed on the new Board of Education. GREATER CRIMES It is no question of conjecture by whom greater grimes are committed, the white or the colored race. The country does a piece of howling when a colored man commits a small offense, such as snatching a lady's pocketbook, or if he speaks to a lady unknown to him while passing by. Efforts will be made to urge upon Congress to increase the police force and withdraw officers from unnecessary stations and place them in the woods to apprehend pocketbook snatchers. Millions of dollars may be stolen from the government, dastardly crimes are committed upon roof gardens, and other and more heinous crimes are committed, but the offenders are called heroes and their acts are commended. If such a murder as Thaw committed had been the act of a colored man, in the presence of ladies, the American press would have taken it as an argument against him. Colored men do no begin to commit such offenses as white men commit, and yet they are called brutes and uncivilized beings. The murder of White by Thaw was dastardly and cowardly. The New York society will overlook this offense and do all in its power to acquit the murderer. COLOR PREJUDICE AND THE GOVERNMENT. Right nuder the nose of the administration and under the department of Secretary Shaw, the color line in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and other departments of the Treasury is being tightly drawn. In the Bureau of Engraving and Printing highly educated colored girls are not given the same accommodations as white girls of inferior birth and social standing. In many instances the colored girls are not given clean towels and neither are they given decent wash basins. The Bee hope that Secretary Shaw will send his representative over to the Bureau between the hours of eleven and twelve o'clock and at lunch time and see how systematically the colored employees are separated from the other help in that branch of his department. It is not necessary, Mr. Secretary, to ask who is responsible. You are aware that someone in authority knows that this discrimination is going on. In the Sixth Auditor's office similar conditions obtain. Now if the government permits discrimination what may be expected from individuals on the outside? Will the Secretary remedy this evil? WILL DO GOOD WORK The Afro-American Council, an organization which is doing a good work in its advocacy of the rights of the negro, meets in this city in August. Bishop Walters, the president, is very desirous of making this meeting the most successful in its history and to this end is leaving nothing undone to accomplish this. If properly managed this organization could accomplish much good and should receive the support of the entire race. We trust that the best people will co-operate with Bishop Walters in this great work. Vice-President Fairbanks has been indorsed for President by the Republicans of North Carolina. The son of Senator Proctor has been nominated for governor of Vermont. He believes in equality of citizenship. General Nelson Miles spoke in Lincoln, Nebraska, last week and he didn't speak very complimentary of those who are oppressing the dark races. General Miles is a true American. There is one thing certain, that is that the colored voters in this country will not support Taft, Root or any other man, if they thought President Roosevelt had anything to do with him. The colored voters are learning some sense. There are all sorts of candidates for the Board of Education. The judges have decided not to appoint politicians, because many of them know have wintered the artful beings. Many of the candidates are being given the black eye. HAIL TO THE GLORIOUS FOURTH Hail! to the grand old glorious fourth. Let the children shout with glee Let the cannons roar Let the eagles soar Let the fire-works reud the sky Let the boys march forth with their banners gay Let the stars and stripes float high. Hail! to the grand old glorious! fourth Let the freedmen shout for joy, Let the men who'll-fight For the cause of right' March forth to the bugle's call.. Let them thunder forth 'gainst that giant misrnie Till his tottering towers shall fall. Haill to the grand old glorious! fourth Let the echo shake this land, Let the sound go forth To the North and South. 'Tis the sound of freedmen's cry That the cause of might shall not down the right While Jehovah rules on high. So far there are four candidates in the field for the Presidential race, viz.: Vice President Fairbanks, Secretary of War Taft, Elihu Root and Uncle Joe Cannon. We wonder who will win, and whether the negro will receive better treatment than he has during the last few years. Every negro who can should enter business, no matter how humble. It is much better to be your own boss than be the paid slave of unprincipled employers. We find that the colored brother always gets the wrong end of the stick when it comes to work, hours and wages. We notice that in the Southwest a large number of colored people are in business and work together both white and black. There is very little color prejudice in South Washington. Judge Thomas B. Youngblood of Boonville, Ind., has tried 8,000 cases and once married a couple that had the smallpox. He also married 300 couples.

NEW CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCH RECENTLY DEDICATED IN BOSTON Beautiful Edifice Has Cost Nearly Two Million Dollars—Higher Than Bunker Hill Monument. 1113 Boston.—Rising above therof tops the church spires of the Black Bay district, and reaching a height loftier than Bunker Hill monument, looms the magnificent new cathedral of Christian Science, at once the largest, the costliest church edifice in this part of the country and one of the most remarkable church structures in the world. It was dedicated on Sunday, June 10. It is two years since the corner stone was laid, and day and night since then more than 300 men have been employed to hurry the structure to completion. It is 12 years since the first church of this new denomination was built, and 30 years ago in July the first Christian Science was formally organized. The cathedral adjoins the "mother" church, as the one built 12 years ago is called. This is at the junction of Norway and Furmouth streets and ex- ```markdown ``` tends back to St. Paul's. The builders planned for an auditorium which would be the largest in New England in its seating capacity. Space was provided for more than a mile of magnificent mahogany pews, which give a seating capacity of 5,000, which is more than five times the capacity of the old South church, more than three times that of Trinity and twice that of Tremont temple or the cathedral of the Holy Cross. The auditorium contains seven galleries, two on each side and three at the back, all so arranged that not a pillar or post interrupts the view of the platform from any seat. The roof of the auditorium rises to a height of 108 feet from the floor, the entire weight being borne by four arches resting on four massive stone piers. BLIND GIRL IS A LAWYER. Leads Graduating Class in California School—Will Take Up Music as Livelihood. New York.—Miss Christine La Barraque, now 28 years old, who has been blind since she was a baby, is a lawyer. She was graduated at the head of a law class in a California law school, and has been admitted to the bar in that state. Miss La Barraque is a remarkable young woman. She is a graduate of the University of California, a finished linguist, an accomplished equestrienne and a musician. She is now in this city completing her musical education. Getting her degree, she announced that her ambition was to become a lawyer. The professors told her it was absurd, but she insisted and became a night school teacher to earn enough money to carry her through the law school. There were 75 men in the class, and at the end only 39 remained. ```markdown ``` MISS CHRISTINE LA BARRAQUE (Blind Girl Who Has Been Admitted to the Bar in California.) In the final examination Miss La Barraque led them all. "Of course, I realize that a blind woman could hardly practice law successfully, so I decided to take up music as my livelihood," she declared, "and I know I shall succeed." which form the four corners of the auditorium. The dome is more than twice the size of the dome on the state house. Notwithstanding the greater elevation of the site of the capitol building the church dome rises to a greater height. The top of the state house dome is 110 feet from the street and the street is 100 feet from the level. The christian Science dome is 224 feet above the street, and the street there is only 15 feet above the sea level. The state house dome has a diameter of 73 feet and a height of 35, while the church dome is 82 feet in diameter and 51 feet high. The area occupied by the church is 42,000 square feet. The first course material in granite from Mrs Eddy's home, Concord, N. H. Above that the material is Bedford stone. The semil domes, the domes and the cupola are of gray seml-glazed terra cotta. This auditorium is up one flight. The first ```markdown ``` floor contains two stone and marble columns. In the center is the Sunday school room, with a seating capacity of 700. As far as possible the building is fireproof. The interior finish is of marble and Bedford stone. The seven staircases are of bronze, marble, Bedford stone and steel. The church cost nearly $2,000,000. It was erected by popular subscription. A remarkable feature is that the building is entirely free from debt. Twice in the history of the Christian Science church in Boston it has been found necessary to invite the members to discontinue contributions to its building fund—once in 1895, when the original church was dedicated, and again now when it was found that more than enough money had been received to pay for the extension of the church.

J. Cordoza The ceremony was solemnized at the residence of the bride's sister, Mrs. Samuel Lacy, 1732 10th street, N.

Bell. To the sweet strains of the wedding march she entered the parlor, which was decorated with palms and flowers, carrying a pearl-back prayer book, leaning on the arm of her brother-in-law, Mr. Samuel Lecy. The pair was preceded by little Rosina Lacy, who was ring bearer. Many present were received, among which was a large piece of statuary, on a pedestal, from the principals' association, some silver forks from the principals of the 12th flyvision, silver spoons from the teachers of the Wilson School, pearl-handled silver knives and from the bride's family. torks 11 The guests were Mrs. Cardoza, mother of the groom, Mrs. Francis Cardoza, his aunt, Mr. and Mrs. J.

Doom of an Attraction Sibilar to the : One of Chicago World’s * Fair Fame, London.—At the end of the summer one of London's most famous land- marks will disappear. This is the big ‘wheel at Earl's court, which, after an eleven-year existence, is to be pulled down, and the work of destruction is expected to cost more than $50,000. In 1893 a company was formed and erected the gigantic wheel, 300 feet in diameter, at a cost of $300,000. The wheel was constructed on the same plan as the Ferris wheel, built at the world’s fair In Chicago, The latter was transported to St. Louis and was destroyed there by dynamite a few weeks ago. 2 The idea of seeing London in this ‘way soon “caught on,” and 2,500 peo- ple have made the leisurely journey. | ‘As the charge 1s one shilling they have pald over $100,000 for the privilege of | doing £0. | The year. after it was opened the wheel received Its biggest advertise- ‘ment. At 8:15 one night it suddenly ‘stopped, and all efforts to restart it ‘were unsuccessful. Bixty passengers were In the cars, and, as the time went by, messages on ‘paper came fluttering down to the at- tendants. One appeal read: + “No. 8 car from bottom on N. E side. Get a rocket sent up with a string attached, so that we can get some food up. We shall eat one an- other soon. Be quick.” After a long tlme some sailors were found who climbed up the supports ‘with food and drink. With this the 6¢ passengers had to be content until seven o'clock the following morning ‘when, amid great cheering from the passetigers and hundreds of relatives and friends who had assembled, the ereat wheel once more revolved. ‘The company presented each pas- senger with $25, and next day’ the wheel was packed from morning till night with passengers, who hoped that something would again go wrong with the machinery. - PARASITES ARE WELCOMED Foes of ‘Brown Tatled-Moth Being : Brought to the United : States, !

He says he has succeeded. The new breed of fowls has legs of uneven length, The right leg ir about six Inches long and the left leg four. Ow- ing to this inequality in underpinning a hen Is unable to take steps of equal length. When she endeavors to wander any distance from the coop she walks in a circle and soon, finds herself back at her own door.” Fur. thermore, there can be no scratching by hens with mismated legs. When a hen stands on the short leg the long one fs“ put out of business and when she stands on the long one the short one ¢an’t reach the ground. .

MAY BE ctr trR—— a —- People of the Ruined City Take Read- |2anvas Upon Which Artist Taby, ily to Open Air Style of tor Thirty-Two Years Has Livin, Under Sore an Unfortunate “Affliction. Career San Francisco Chronicle.—Mother Necessity was never busier than now. Tnventions were never so “numerous; ingenuity was never so profitably ex- ercised. The people have settled down to street living as a matter of course and the pater sits catmly on a soap box against the curo, beside a pot of stew, holding a wooden poker in one hand, a newspaper in the other and a pipe in his mouth, with as little con- cern as he formerly planted his heels under the dining room table and read the headlines to the family. The ma- ter comes to the dor twice every five minutes to ask If the coffee’s boiling— what sb really wants is a line on dad’s capability as a teakettle freman —and the kids, meanwhile, are either out hustling wood or just hangin’ on. wondering if there will be enough to go ‘round, and there always 1s. Under present conditions it Is nat- ural that some families should be more comfortable than others In their ar- rangements, for curbstone housekeep- ing; but this time the poorer classes win. The laboring man has 100 prac- tical Ideas stored in bis brain, where the man who hasnt seen a kitchen since he was a boy is absolutely help- less. Thus it {s that the street kitch- ens range from two plies of bricks, open at both ends and uncovered, with a five-gallon oll can shoyed in between, to a modern summer kitchen, contatn- ing a mortared bri:k furnace, with 4 long stovepipe to varry off the smoke and soot; Its watls tined with cooking utensils and dishes, and just to show the nature of the Inhabitants, {ts roof surmounted by a flagpole, flaunting Old Giory. ‘When the order first went forth pro- hibiting Indoor fires, many had It fig- ured that the inconvenience would last for a couple of days only, and made no special efforts to cook outside, a loaf of bread and a pot ot coffee being con- sidered a sufficient mfenu for the re- stricted season. But the wise ones got busy with fallen chimneys and built. miniature furnaces, sometimes three or four feet in height Over these they spread thelr oven rates, which served equally well for boiling coffee, steeping tea, frying eggs and meat or cooking stews, Then came the stiff winds, which blew ashes and cinders Into the open utensils. The spirit of the wise man rebelled against thé grimy invasion.) Wind breahs were required. The near- est and easjest way to obtain them was from the bill boards which enclosed practically every vacant lot in the city.| Only an example was required. The attack upon the inanimate exploiters of public amusements became general. By the time the neighbors had dulled their axes there was nothing left of the bill boatds but an offer of $50 reward for the arrest of any person caught mutilating them. The result was that when day dawned on the Saturday following the disaster a majority of the street kitch- ens were well sheltered from the wind and rain, and many were completely boarded, curtains, canvas, tar paper and other adequate material being used to cover the wooden fiames. SIMPLE LIFE IN PARLIAMENT British Lawmakers Eating Shilling Dinners with Watet on - the Side. x London.—Some of the labor mem- bers of the house uf commons are be- sinning to tell tales out of school. One of them recently informed an audience that not all the 200 members of the House who are supposed to be teetotal- Jers deserve the name, for he had seen some of them takiug wine with their dinner. He declines to name them, and rejoices that temperance Is making great strides in the west. ; There were only 40 teetotallers in the last parliament, while there are perhaps 120 now. A tale is told of how the other evening a member ot the kitchen committee of the house gazed heartbrokenly into the dining rooms, where over 100 dinners were being eaten. Not ten members were drinking wine. He declared that the members were eating the kitchen com- mittee Into the bankruptcy court. ‘The new shilling diuaer fs becoming increasingly popular. Unfortunately, it does not yield as much profit, while the accompanying glass of water yields less. The menu of yesterday's shilling dianer was roast loin of veal, braised hats, spinach, roast saddle of mutton, potatoes holled, mashed, baked and fried, cabbage, custard puddog, apple tart, Gheddar and Cheshire cheese, and bread and but- ter.

Help Farmers—Ex-Judge Bgnson Succeeds-Burton. ‘Topeka, Kan.—F. D. Coburn, secre- tary of the state board of agriculture, who was tendered the appointment succeed Joseph R. Burton in the Unit States senate, notified Gov. Hoch he could not accept. The governol then cffered the appointment to forme: Judge A. W. Benson of Ottawa, who eccepted it. The offer of the senatoria) toga to} Secretary Coburn was pecullarly popu- Jar among the farmers. But had he cepted it they would have been dis~ gruntled, it is declared, for “Coburn of Kansas” was just the man for them, they sald. ‘ = wt “Coburn of Kansas” might have been! governor. But the agriculturists said} they couldn’t do without him as secre-| tary of the state board of agriculture, So secretary he remained. r “Coburn of Kansas” might have gona to congress. But the stockmen cried that they could never raise their stock without his kelp. And he kept on be ing secretary. The late President McKinley during his second term wanted “Coburn of Kansas” for secretary of the national department of agriculturé. “But what'll we do when the bugs come ‘round? de- mianded the orchardists. And so he continved working for the grangers of Kansas. “Coburn of Kansas” stands up for hia state, as Secretary Wilson learned in Ser mc: MBE Die ge” df "a a th S F cz a Ne, fe oo ay " Fics a ad ay _ Burton's Seat in the Senate.) © 1902, when the former, by the figures of the latter's own department, showed @ statement credited to Secretary Wil- son that “Kansas was in the semi-arid belt was incorrect, Foster Dwight Coburn was born In Jefferson county, Wis., In May 1846. Mustered out of the Sixty-sixth Hlnois Infantry as a sergeant major at Fort, Gibsoa, I .T., In 11866—he enlisted in the One Hundred and Thirty-afth Ill- nols infantry at the age of 18 years, He went to Franklin county, Kan. There he worked as a farm hand for a few years until he had saved enough to secure his own farm, About two years later he was married to Miss Lou Jenkins, Their two daughters and a son are graduates of the state agricul- tural college. g Coburn was made secretary of agri- culture {n 1881, after he had served a [year aa clerk In the department. He held the secretaryshlp for six .years, when he resigned to edit the Kansas Clty Litestock Indicator. The late George W. Glick In 1882 made Coburn president of the agricul- turdl college regents, a position the latter held tll! 1903, when he resigned because, as he sald, his “old fogy” no- tions conflicted with the theoretics of the college’ president. In 1894 Coburn was unexpectedly made secretary of the state board of agriculture again, He has -remained there ever since. He was chosen chiet of the department of livestock of the St. Louls exposition In 1902. As an au- thority on things agricultural “Coburn of Kansas” is renowned in England, Scotkand, Canada, Australia and South Africa, where his works are used aa text books. . 1 A. W. Benson for 12 years was @ Judge of the’ Fourth district bench, from which he retired eventually to re- turn ta the private practice of law. He, was a member of the last legislatufe and gained a good deal of attention fr that legislature by his ability. Ht speech agalnst the state refinery Dill in which he deplared the measure un- constitutional, became famous. At that time Gov.

Makes hair grow long, straight, soft and silky; cures dandruff and stops falling hair. Kink-ine acts like magic on the air. Kink-ine Is No Experiment. It was discovered by R. Roberts, a famous English chemist, who has made a study of the scalp of colored people for the past 80 years, and who, after much time and experience, has prepared this great iconic for the colored people. This chemist says that his experience and study have taught him that the scalp of the colored people requires a special treatment and after laboring and testing these many years he has discovered the greatest REMEDY the WORLD has ever known for the HAIR of colored people. KINK-INE will make the hair GROW from one to three inches per month, if the directions and instructions are carefully followed out. We have many cases on record where the above results have been obtained, and we do not hesitate when we make these claims. KINK-INE is the only safe preparation in the world that is guaranteed to make the hair straight and make dry hair smooth and stop it from breaking off and falling out; takes out all the kinks and knots, cures dandruff, makes the hair soft and silky, and by nourishing the roots gives it new life and vigor, restoring it to natural color. Read what Miss Elizabeth Jones of Chicago says of KINK-INE: "My hair was not more than three inches long when I commenced to use Kink-ine, six months ago. I have used it steadily since that date and it has grown on an average of two inches each month and it is now more than fifteen inches long. Besides, my hair has become almost straight and I fully believe by the end of the year I will have the most beautiful head of hair of any colored lady in the world."

UNDERGOES 32 OPERATIONS Man Has Pieces of Leg Taken Off at Odd Intervals for the Past Fourteen Years—Recovery Promised. New York.—Charles Rorain submitted in the German hospital at Newark, N. J., to the thirty-second operation that has been performed on one of his legs within 14 years. The 31 preceding operations had taken away almost all of his leg, and the surgeons found only a stump. Besides losing his leg, the operations have cost Rorain four years' time in the hospitals. Most of the operations have been due to Rorain's eagerness to leave the hospitals in which they were performed, affording no time for them to heal properly. Rorain hurt his foot in an elevator 14 years ago. The first operation cost him only a part of his foot. The surgeons say he will be fully cured in a month.

Berlin.—During the late war in Manchuria the Russians were often so hard pressed as to be obliged frequently to dispose of their dead and wounded in great haste. One wounded warrior told an interviewer, says a correspondent of the Hanover Courier, an almost incredible story. It appears that the practice was to give the dead and mortally wounded a black mark, and the slightly wounded a red one. Bodies with a black mark were then buried in large trenches by a sanitary column "I barely escaped," said the veteran. "Badly mauled, I lay on the field. A sanitary party approached. When they came to me I saw one of them seize the black brush. I just managed to gasp: 'I am alive. Do not bury me.' 'Have you any money?' I was asked. 'Yes.' 'How much?' 'Ten rubles.' 'Hand them over.' He took the money and gave me the red mark, and went on, but had not gone far when a Japanese bullet felled him. "Why should I lose my money? I thought. I crawled to the fallen man. He was dead. I searched his pockets. There were my ten roubles and 300 more. 'I am in luck this time,' I said to myself, and pocketed the lot. Then a mist came before my eyes and I fainted." ton Drug Store TON DRUG STORE. PHARMACY. in the drug line. It will be the le's Christian Congress for Drugs et Soaps and Perfumery.
