PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE A FIRESIDE COMPANion. It is true if you see it in THE BEE. DON'T FORBOW THIS PAPER VOL. XXVI. NO. 8 Dr. Jas. E. Shepherd The South's Coming Leader. The Bee presents to its readers this week a fine portrait of Dr. James E. Sheppard of Durham, N. C., who is today one of the coming young men in the South. Dr Sheppard is about thirty years old and he comes from one of the leading families in Durham, N. C. He is a graduate in medicine and a man who has made his way by hard struggles and perseverance. He has filled, with credit many responsible positions in his own State and in the District of Columbia. At present he is connected with international Sunday School work, a position that requires executive ability and high moral standing to fill. He is traveling all the time among his people, speaking right and day. As an orator he stands loud and above any representative in his race. He is an independent, as well as a careful talker. He is highly respected by all classes of people irrespective of color or condition. In an interview with a representative of The Bee he said among other things that he attended the recent convention held in North Carolina on which occasion Secretary Taft spoke. He is of the opinion that some blunders were made in that convention when it recommended the extension of the Grandfathers' Clause in the revised constitution foom 1908 to 1920. The colored illiterates in the South are fast being educated. Within a few years there will not be an unedu- colored people see the importance of an education. They know that they must accumulate property, which can only be done by following economic principles. Dr. Sheppard has great hopes for the colored man South. He is fast improving his condition. He is almost entirely eliminated from politics, which has forced him to look for other avenues which will enable him to be more successful in establishing his citizenship. In speaking of the industries among the colored people Dr. Sheppard said: "In almost every state in the South you will find colored men and women in business. The colored people in the North would be surprised to witness the progress of the Southern colored people since their emancipation. We have stores in some parts of the South conducted by colored men as large as any stores you have in this city. If the late W. C. Coleman of Concord, N.C., had lived, you would have witnessed an industrial enterprise that would have been a monument to posterity. We have hundreds of great men in the South. You have no idea of the number of colored educators we have South doing all in their power to uplift Compare our educational institutions South with those in the North conducted by colored people and see if we in the South do not surpass them. Wide many of us want to exercise the right of the elective franchise, we do not impose to worry over present political corrections. Everything will come all right in a few years. We have some strong friends among the Southern white people as well as some enemies. Our trust is outnumber our enemies. At my own home in Durham, N. C., the white population treat the colored people well. We have no trouble whatever. Some of our strongest friends may be found among the resident white people. It is our desire at the confining Educational Congress to be held in this city to do something that has never been done before. If there is any possible way of suggesting methods to improve the condition of the colored people, it will be done at this gathering of representative people. This Congress will contain the great brain in the colored race, and I have the most abiding faith in those who are at the head of it. All day Sunday he was in conference at the Ebbit House with his co-workers of the international Sunday School work, and left in the evening for the South. He will return to the city by the last of the present month to attend the Young People's Educational Convention. WILL RECORDER DANCY GOD Tow Sections After His Place. It is stated upon very reliable authority that President Roosevelt has promised the office of Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia to either the State of Missouri or Illinois, and that a vacancy will be created in that office next October. Just who that man will be and just which State will get the office The Bee is not certain. If it goes to Illinois the city of Chicago will present the man. If it goes to Missouri the city of St. Louis will furnish the man. The State of New Jersey is demanding recognition. Thousands of colored Republican voters are dissatisfied and have threatened to bolt the pass if something is not done yet. There is DR. JAMES E. SHEPPARD. THE SOUTH'S RISING REPRESENTATIVE. a good size colored Republican vote in West Virginia, which wants something. The removal of Mr. John P. Green has caused the colored vote of Ohio to doubt the sincerity of the administration. It is claimed by many leading colored Republicans in the State that Mr. Green should have been transferred to some office or his place given to some other worthy colored Republican in the State. If Mr. Dancy is succeeded by another colored man, it is quite evident that the administration wants to satisfy the Northern colored voters, as North Carolina is a hopeless Democratic State to which Recorder Dancy is credited. Quite likely that Deputy Register Adams of the Treasury Department will be sent abroad and a new man from New Jersey will succeed him. Register Vernon has nothing to do with this transfer, if it is made at all. It may not be made, as Register Vernon speaks in the highest terms of Mr. Adams. Both gentlemen are doing well and are working in harmony. The deputy register has been delegated more power by Mr. Vernon since he has been in office. The deputy register's position is more dignified now. Mr. Adams has something else to do instead of opening letters and transmitting them to the different bureau chiefs. Register Vernon is daily ```markdown ``` growing in popularity by his keen diplomatic conduct of his office. He has shown himself to be a man and a dignified gentleman. Mr. Dancy has made a good recorder and it was thought if a change should ever take place in the office a district man would be appointed. THE JANE MOSELEY There have been started in this city several steamboat enterprises among the colored people and as often as they have started they have failed, with but one exception. The Jone Moseley Steamboat Company was organized by a company of enterprising citizens, who could not agree among themselves. There was a dissatisfied element connected with the company that attempted to remove the manager who had put most of the money in the company which made it a success. There were several law suits, but the court right- WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY JULY 21, 1906. fully decided in favor of Mr. Lewis Jefferson, who by industry and perseverance made the enterprise a success. The Jane Moseley Steamboat Company under the management of Mr. Lewis Jefferson is the best boat for the people that rides upon the waters of the Potomac. Mr. Jefferson has spent hundreds of dollars to give to the colored people a first-class excursion boat. He is a man whose words are household aphorisms. Mr. Jefferson has made personal sacrifices to accommodate his people. But just how much the people have appreciated his liberality can be better told by him. It would have been a nice act on the part of the entertainment committee of the Christian Congress to have chartered the Jane Moseley and carried the delegates down the Potomac during their stay in the city. The Bee is informed that every inducement was offered the committee to secure this boat. But no, the manager was informed that the delegates would take an automobile ride. When the committee went to secure the automobiles it was informed that the company didn't care for the job. Like answer was given the committee by the electric car company. It would have been better to have let these companies know that the colored Americans were more DR. JAMES E. SHEPPARD. THE SOUTH'S RISING REPRESENTATIVE, independent and did not need any favors at their hands. The Jane Moseley could have given the delegates all the pleasure they wanted. The Bee wants to know what the committee intends to do. Will provision be made for the delegates to go sight-seeing? Will they be taken down the river or not? The managers of the Jane Moseley is independent and he will no doubt run an excursion down the river on his own responsibility, provided he gets from Baltimore in time, which is not likely. The National Guard of the District of Columbia will participate in the encampment at Mt. Gretna, Pa. The first separate battalion under the command of Major Arthur J. Brooks will be present. It will be a grand encampment. Regulars and Guardsman will work together.

Chicago department stores and merchants throughout the country were warned last Monday to be on the look- out for a bogus check-worker whose identity is not known. In the trial of Hargis—Callahan at Beattyville, Ky., the jury being out 22 minutes returned a verdict of not guilty. The men were charged with the murder of J. B. Maracum. Burglaries entered Courtland, Va., last Monday night and broke in two residences. The General Congress of Socialist Inter-parliamentary Committees opened at London last Tuesday, James Keir Hardie, being the president. A meat slaughtering house near Wellington, Kan., was inspected by order of the State Board of Health, and found to be in a filthy condition. The trial of alleged lynchers of Johnson of North Carolina, began last Monday. Judge Thomas Shaw said: "So help me God, if justice should miscarry in this case, I will not be responsible for it." John W. Clampitt, who helped to defend Mrs. Surratt, following the assassination of President Lincoln, died last Tuesday at the Indianapolis City Hospital, Indianapolis, Ind. Christopher Spindleman, the Windsor, Ontario, cigar maker who shot and killed his wife last Saturday night, hanged himself last Tuesday, in his cell in the jail at Sandwich, Ont., with his shoe laces. Captain John R. Hart, of the steamer River Queen, was the prosecuting witness in the Police Court last Tuesday against Samuel Tolson, who was charged with assault. Dr. Carlos Pelligrini, former president of Argentina, died last Monday night at Buenos Ayres. Frank Hume, who had been a prominent business man in this city for a number of years, died at his residence on Massachusetts avenue at 2:30 o'clock last Tuesday morning at the age of 63 years. Postmaster General Cortelyou and his family left this city last Monday for Nova Scotia, where they will remain many weeks. Fannie Hall at Boston was threatened by fire last Monday. Alfred Beit, the prominent South African financier, died this week in London. His health had been bad for some time. A firm in Arkansas City, Kan., has received an order for 2,000,000 pounds of flour from Amsterdam, Holland. Buffield Duncan and John Hastings tried to rob a bank in the Ernst and Cramer building at Denver last week, but were arrested. Philipieff, the government executioner at Petrovsk, Caucasus, has been murdered in the local prison by several daghestans. It is said that the negro population of Missouri is steadily decreasing. SAYS BRYAN·WILL WIN. Would Beat Mr. Roosevelt, Declares Senator William J. Stone arrived at St. Louis from Washington and New York a few days ago filled to overflowing with enthusiasm for the Bryan boom and optimism as to Democratic prospects throughout the country. "Three to two is about the right way to express Bryan's chances for defeating Roosevelt," said the Junior Missouri Senator. "That Bryan will be unanimously nominated by the next Democratic National Convention there can be not the slightest shadow of doubt. The entire party demands him, and the majority of the people of the United States want him for the next President. If Roosevelt is renominated Bryan should defeat him easily. If Taft is nominated by the Republicans the race will be a bit close, but Bryan will still have a shade the best of it. I regard Taft as the strongest candidate the Republicans could put up." Senator Stone declared that Bryan's chances to be the next President better than those of any other man in Concerning W. R. Hearst's San Francisco statement, Stone said, "I hope it is true and see no reason to doubt it. I am glad to see all elements and all interests of Democracy united." About his own plans, Senator Stone declared that he is an open and awowed candidate for the United States Senate and that he expected to win. He stated that he would remain in Missouri till after the election, doing all in his power for the ticket, and confidently expecting to see Missouri return to the Democratic fold. Senator Stone said he understood Champ Clark is a candidate for Speaker of the next House, and that he indorsed him, believing him to be the best man and fully qualified to hold down that exalted position.

What I Saw And Heard Prof. Booker T. Washington was in the city Sunday. He and Ex-Gov. P. B. S. Pinchback took a drive through the city. The report is that Dr. W. Bruce Evans will be the next superintendent of the colored schools. The white superintendent will be Prof. Clark. The outlook favors both of the above. The next political contest in the District of Columbia will be a warm one. The white Republicans will endeavor to elect two white delegates. The Jim Crow corner in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing continues to exist. Just think of it, a government bureau discriminating against certain classes of its citizens! The Young People's Christian Congress is doing slow work. There seems to be a great deal of dissatisfaction. There is a division among the citizens and the committee. Many of the citizens say that all of the committees are composed principally of ministers. Two of the leading professions have been left out entirely—the law and medicine. It is claimed that the person who appointed the several committees had a selfish motive. My old townsman, Mr. J. T. C. Newson will leave the city soon for Oklahoma, the new State that has just been admitted. He will take up his home there, where he has purchased several lots. He will build a handsome house upon two of these lots for his family. The many employment agencies that once existed in this city have been reduced by the passage of the new law by Congress. Whoever was instrumental in having that bill passed will do injury, to himself instead of these agencies. This law will do harm to the business and in less than a year there will not be two, or three agencies in existence. Some people do smart things sometimes. I never could understand why organizations among colored people disband so soon. I mean political organizations. The new president or Howard University was in the city last week. He met the executive committee of the Board of Trustees of Howard University and talked over the situation of the institution. Talking about politics there is more politics among the Odd Fellows in this city than there is among the ward heelers. There is nothing but politics. There is all kinds of scheming now among the adherents of the different candidates for Grand Master. The B. M. C.-will meet in Richmond this year. The people in Richmond know how to entertain their guests. The meeting there will be one of the largest that has ever been held. The finance committee of the Young People's Christian Congress is slow headway. Money is making in. It is said that slow coming gates will place for the dele- be hard to get. Many of the visitors don't know where to apply. The affair is badly managed. Fairplay. NATIONAL ASSOCIATIONS OF TEACHERS OF NEGRO YOUTH.

CREEK COUNCIL HOUSE HISTORIC STRUCTURE MAY BECOME COURT BUILDING. Citizens Likely to Buy Hall of Justice at Okmulgee, I. T., Where Indian Crimes Were Judged and Criminals Executed. Okmulgee, Ind. T.—In the event that Okmulgee becomes a county seat under statehood the citizens of the county are more than likely to buy the old Creek council house for a court building. The council house is one of the historic buildings in the Indian territory. It is made of a very fine grade of sandstone called cotton rock and is situated in a yard shaded by maple trees three-quarters of a century old. The building itself is two stories high, square in form, with the conventional bill tower on its top. A small marble tablet near the north front door bears the inscription: "Muskogee National Capitol. Erected A. D. 1875. Building Committee—James McHenry, W. F. Brown and John McIntosh." The council house was not only the seat of the Creek legislature, but it served the Indians as a hall of justice for the trial of their prisoners. Beneath the cluster of trees on the shady side of the walk many a prisoner has been executed within the past 26 years. These executions were always solemn affairs. The prisoner, after a dignified farewell to his family and friends, took his stand with his back to the tree and calmly awaited the shot from the lighthorseman's pistol, which was to put out his life. Sometimes, however, the executions took place in the small cemetery on the hill beyond the present Frisco tracks. The last Creek execution occurred there in July, 1898. The victim was a young Ulche who had committed his third horsetheft. There was a large crowd in Okmulgee that day. The young Indian was taken to the cemetery on horseback. When the prisoner with his escort arrived the men had just finished digging the grave. A few songs, were sung, a prayer was offered up in which the victim joined and the Indian sheriff, Berryhill, stepped from the crowd. Colts revolver in hand, to do his duty. When the fatal shot was fired the OLD CREEK COUNCIL HOUSE AT OKMUJEE, I. T. young Uitche's eyes were sweeping the lovely Creek hills and uplands. He fell with a smile on his face. His grave is well kept in the cemetery, a monument to the stern laws and incorruptible justice of his people. The legal authority of the Creek Indians expired in 1898, and on March 7, 1907, the Indian governors will step down and out and the Indians will become actual citizens of the United States instead of remaining-wards of the government. The last of the Indian governors are William C. Rogers, of Skiatook, chief of the Cherokees; J. F. Brown, of Wewoka, chief of the Seminoles; D. B. Johnston, of Tishomingo, chief of the Choctaws; Green B. McCurtain, of South McAlester, chief of the Chickasaws, and Pleasant Porter, of Muskogee, chief of the Creeks. Gov. Porter, all in all, is the best known and perhaps the most extraordinary Indian now alive. Few men have received so much newspaper notre as Gov. Porter, for he has been the subject of many fables. He has been written about as an Indian millionaire, when the fact is that, though comfortably fixed, he ranks lowest of the Indian governors in point of wealth. He would have been a wealthy man if he had been less honor and less charitable. He has given away a large fortune in the course of his lifetime Gov. Porter was born in Indian territory near Clarksville, September 26, 1840. He entered the confederate army as a private and left the service as a second lieutenant, after an honorable career in many battles from Wilson Creek until the last shot was fired in Texas. Gov. Porter is profoundly versed in Indian history and lore and will write a history of his people. He believes that the southern Indians are of Aztec and Toltec origin and was even in advance of ethnologists in maintaining his views. To Extend Privileges. Advices from St. Petersburg are to the effect that Russia proposed to extend until the 10th of May, 1911, the privilege accorded in 1896 of duty free importation, under certain circumstances, of tin boxes for fish preserves, as well as the accessories for the opening of such boxes and free importation of the fish contained in such tins. Selected by Kaiser. The emperor of Germany has appointed Privy Councillor Goldberger to be a member of the expert commission which will make an American collection for the Royal Museum of Ethnology. Lord Jolcey Had Disadvantage of Starting in Life Rich—Knows Business Thoroughly. London.—Decidedly the most interesting of the new peers is Lord Jolece, who has been raised from a baronety to a barony, and has taken the title of Baron Jolece of Chesterle-Street in the county of Durham, a district which he has represented in parliament for ten years. But he has won another title which will stick to him longer than that which carries with it a seat among the hereditary legislators of the realm. It is that of the "Coal King," for he is the largest individual producer of coal on the world. The output of the Lambton and the Jolece Collery companies, which he practically owns, amounts to 5,000,000 tons a year, and he has besides large interests in several other coal companies. Lord Joicey cannot be described as a self-made man according to the pop- (Coal Baron Is One of Interesting Characters of British Parliament.) ular definition of that much-bused phrase. He did not start in life with what Andrew Carnegie has repeatedly declared is the most valuable aid to success—poverty. He belongs to the rarer type of men who acquire vast fortunes without the early stimulus of a dire struggle for the necessities of life. His father was a fairly prosperous coal mine, owner. He could have well afforded to send his boy to Eton, Rugby or some other famous public school, where he might have made the acquaintance of severe future dukes and earls, and aristocratic scions of lower degree, and have obtained a sort of education which is supposed to best equip a man for the job of going through life without working for a living. But young Jolcey's father was a level-headed man. He sent his son to a good middle class school, where there was no danger of his being infected with snobbery, and where a thorough grounding in science took the place of Latin and Greek. There young Jolcey studied hard, carried off a lot of prizes joined his father's business when he was 19, and devoted himself to mastering all its details. He was constantly in the pits and about the workings—so much so that an old workman one day said to him as he passed with dirty overalls an: "Why, young malster, you'll soon know as much about the pit as we do." "That's just what I. want to do," answered young Jolcey. "KATIE QUAQUA'S CAMP." Relic of Indian Days of Michigan Still in Existence in Wayne County. Willow, Mich.—While all of the white settlers who traded with the Indians in this vicinity at the beginning of the last century have passed away and the reds have long since gone to the happy hunting grounds, there are a few landmarks which still recall the stories and legends of those times; not the least interesting of these is the old log hut, built nearly 100 years ago on the banks of the Huron river two miles east of this town. In the early days it was known as "Katie Quaqua's Camp." and was at that time inhabited by the Indians holding a big reserve in this vicinity. LANDMARK OF INDIANS IN MICH- IGAN. This reserve granted to the Wyandottes by the United States in 1818 was located in the southeast corner of Huron township, Wayne county, and included 4,996 acres. By a treaty of March 17, 1842, this tract was ceded back to the government and the Wyandottes were removed to Kansas. The familiar landmark to old settlers known as "Katie Quaqua's Camp," was a favorite camping ground of the red men when they came to this section on their hunting and trapping excursions. Katie Quaqua was the wife of James Clark, who lived near Amherstburg, Ont., and with his daughter, Mary McKee, was among the last of the once most powerful tribe of Wyandottes who inhabited this territory. It is related that Katie offered a half bushel of silver dollars to any white man who would marry her daughter, who was almost as fair as any white girl. After the tribe was removed Katie visited this place annually for several years and it was believed by the old settlers that she had money burgled in this vicinity. WHAT DEWEY IS DOING THE ADMIRAL PREFERS HARD WORK TO LIFE OF EASE. Rank Makes Him Independent of President or Secretary of Navy —Is Known as a Well-Groomed Man. New York.—"What has become of Admiral Geor_e Dewey and what is he doing now?" This Inquiry, sent to a St. Louis newspaper, elicited the following information. Taken all in all there is perhaps no man in the United States in the service of the government or out of it who is in a more enviable position than is Admiral Dewey. Congress has given him the rank, pay and allowances of an admiral of the navy, reviving the rank for his benefit. He is absolutely independent of the secretary of the navy and of the president of the United States. He cannot be retired and he cannot be disciplined by reduction in rank or any of the other usual means employed. The place gives him an annual income of $15,500. If he chose to do so he could close down his desk, go home and never turn his hand over in the way of work, either for the navy, or anyone else, and his pay and allowances would go on as long as he lives; but the admiral prefers to work and to work hard. He is at the head of the navy general board, charged with the duty of devising general plans for improvement of the navy, the management of the ships, the handling of officers and men, and the control of the great government shlpyards. Every day when he is not at sea for the maneuvers he is at his desk in his office or attending to the meetings of the board. Admiral Dewey is much loved and much respected. He is a dapper lit- [Picture of a man with a mustache and a suit. The background is black and white. The man is facing the camera, and his face is clearly visible.] ADMIRAL DEWEY (The Lost Reward Naval Hero is a Hard Worker Through the EJ tle fellow, not much more than five feet in height. His clothes fit him like the naval uniform, without crease or bag anywhere. They do say that the admiral's Chinese valet has no less than 20 new suits of clothes and ten pairs of shoes to take care of at a time. The admiral is not a dude, merely a well-groomed man without seeming to have any thought of his personal appearance. He has but one fad, if fad it may be called, and that is his love for animals. He has one of the finest teams of driving horses in the city and also an ugly-looking English bulldog. The dog went through the battle of Manila Bay with Dewey, so they are real bunkies. When the admiral was making a tour of inspection of the fleet the dog went along and was allowed the run of a vessel while his master was aboard. On one ship the admiral returned from the men's quarters just in time to encounter the dog sailing in most hurried fashion from the officers' quarters with the toe of an officer's boot in hot pursuit. Admiral Dewey was white with anger and surprise. In a second, when the captain appeared, following the direction of the toe of his boot, the admiral, controlling himself as best he could, demanded: "Sir, what do you mean by kicking my dog in that manner?" The captain came to a swift salute and his face. It was noted, was as pale and drawn with suppressed anger as was that of the admiral. "Sir," he said. "I would have kicked that dog if he had been, the personal property of the Supreme Being; but, sir, I would not have kicked him, and did not kick him, until he chewed the legs out of two $15 palrs of uniform trousers and ruined a de luxe edition of the Naval Regulations, as well as killed the ship's feline mascot." Then they both laughed. No Relief as Long as We Submit. If we were engaged in a war in which during the last year over 10,000 people had been killed outright and nearly 85,000 wounded, it would equal the casualties of any year of the civil war on either side, and would not only be the principal topic of interest, but would fill the land with mourning; and there would be intense anxiety and unremitting effort to bring it to an end. When, however, we are officially informed that between June 3, 1903, and June 30, 1904, 10,046 persons were killed and 84,155 injured in railroad accidents in the United States it seems to make no more impression on us than an idle tale. Paris.—Despite a protest from the count the French chamber of deputies the other day by 257 votes against 221 decided to invalidate the election of Count Boni de Castellane, husband of Anna Gould, as the deputy for the Basses Alpes. Bereft first of his little American wife and no longer to scatter the millions she brought him from the coffers of Jay Gould, Count Boni found himself arrived at the limit of humiliation when the chamber of deputies ousted him from his seat and besmirched him with insinuations of political corrup- J. tion and open charges of bribery in buying his election. Truly the dapper little Frenchman finds that money makes the gentleman, the lack of it the fellow. He now has few friends. Once the flattered little spendthrift of the boulevards, the pet of titled women, on whom he lavished diamonds and jewels until his wife shut off his supply of money, he has sunk into the position of a man ridiculed and laughed at. Former friends who fawned on him and reaped the fruits of his sensational methods of getting rid of his wife's money now look upon him as a fool who has permitted himself to be found out. Not until the present, however, was any thought ever taken that he might find enemies enough in the chamber to throw him out of his seat Now he is mournfully aware of how far fortune has turned against him and at one of the clubs from which he is not yet excluded he declared, that the action of his fellow deputies was the result of his "painful family difficulties," made public through his wife's action for divorce. How the French aristocracy regar is Count Castellane in his actions is best shown by the fact that when he offered himself as a member of the Jockey club he was "pilled" by the largest number of black balls ever received by one man. 'FRISCO HOME FOR FELINES San Francisco.—Among the interesting places that the earthquake destroyed in San Francisco is the $30,000 home for cats perched high on the slope of Telegraph hill. The woman who used to own the house, a two-story structure with an attic and sun parlor, was a great friend of cats. Every beat of her heart was for the enemy of rats and mice. When a big Maltese was not feeling well and had chills running down its back, with a quick pulse and high HOME FOR CATS AT SAN FRANCISCO DESTROYED BY FIRE. complexion, the mistress of the dwelling immediately opened her medicine chest and administered the proper remedies—everything from paracoric to squills. The time came, however, when the old lady, who could cure cats, even when they had fits, could not cure herself. Then she died, but the cats were not neglected. She left $30,000 in cash to be used in behalf of the animals, who were given the house for a place of residence. Her will was carefully drawn and stipulated just what should be done and how the cats should be cared for. Probably no pussy was ever more astonished than when the earthquake came. For two blocks around Telegraph hill cat language interspersed with fur was flying in all directions. Unfortunately, the house was destroyed and the cats not killed were dispersed over the city in search of food. Callaway county (Mo.) farmers have offered $100 reward for a large gray wolf that killed many sheep during the last winter. Many attempts have been made to catch the animal and the amount of damage due to his depredations is estimated to be more than $1,000. OLD WHALING MASTER CAPT. F. C.

Boston.—One of the veterans of the sea, who is living in retirement at his home in New Bedford, is Capt. Francis Cottle Smith, who only a short time since celebrated the nineteenth anniversary of his birth. In a way, Capt. Smith is a remarkable man. He has seen four score years and ten, and yet to-day he is as hale and hearty as many another 3 years his junior. His only infirmity is a slight trouble with his eyes. He is a Vineyarder by birth, and first saw the light of day in Chillmark March 16, 1816. At the age of 16 he went to sea in the old ship Java, out of New Bedford, and in less than nine months the vessel was back in port with 2,060 barrels of oil. His promotion was rapid, and when in 1539, just after his twenty-third birthday, he was given command of the ship Heroine of Fairhaven, he started in on a record which stamps him as one of the most successful commanders of the old school. He is the oldest master mariner in New Bedford, and with the death of Capt. Charles Grant, of Nantucket which occurred March 15. he is the oldest whaling master in the world, and boasts of the longest term of service of any man who ever trod the deck of a whaleship. Other successful voyages were in the Elliza Adams and the James Allen. While master of the James Allen in 1548, cruising in the Arctic ocean, he made a landing on Herald island, the first white man to step foot on that rocky formation in the far north. Another voyage made by this veteran of the sea was in the ship John and T CAPT FRANCIS C. SMITH. (He Is One of the Oldest Whalins Masters Living at Present) Edward. He was a large owner in this vessel, and when he returned on December 10, 1856, with a valuable cargo he little dreamed that most of it, together with the ship, would go up in flames. Fortunately the bone had been removed to a store house, but the oil was stored on a wharf at the foot of North street, the same wharf where the John and Edward made her berth. On August 24, 1856, occurred the greatest conflagration ever known in the city of New Bedford and the John and Edward and nearly everything Capt. Smith owned went up in flames. He then tried his hand at steamboating for a short time, taking command of steamer Mt. Vernon, which piled between New York and Washington. D.C., but he didn't take kindly to this sort of a sea life, and in 1864 he was again found in command of a whalership, this time master of the ship William Thompson, one of the largest vessels in the whaling fleet. While cruising in the Kamchatka sea the following year, he was overhaul by the confederate cruiser Shenandoah, the ship and her cargo burned, while he and his crew were held as prisoners on the cruiser. His ship was destroyed on June 21, some time after the civil war had ended. He was brought down to Sap Francisco with other whalemen who had suffered similar loss, and, returning home, was given command of the ship Janus December 6 of the same year. This was his last voyage, and leaving the Janus at Honolulu he returned east and took up his residence on the Vineyard. At one time he was extensively engaged in real estate transactions at Cottage City, and for nine years during his residence on the island he was sheriff of Dukes county. Capt. Smith was never shipwrecked, but he has had his share of losses. He has soiled around the world three times, around Cape Horn 11 times, around Cape of Good Hope seven times, whale It in four of the five oceans on the globe, and during his long service as a sailor has helped in the capture of 29,000 barrels of oil, to say nothing of the whale bone taken when cruising in northern waters. As a disciplinarian he had few equals in the service, one illustration of which he proudly boasts of to-day. While in command of the Gov. Morton, from New York for San Francisco, he encountered a heavy gale of Cape Horn, so disabling the Morton that he was compelled to put in at Montevideo for repairs, and lay in that port four months before the work was completed, and yet in all that time he did not lose a man. Other ships in port continually lost members of their crews.

Several millions Of people are becoming bald, accord- ing to Capt. Peter Wilbertorce, who has just arrived In New York and sailed away again with 50 gross of bot- Ues of hair tonic of a popular brand. The Inventor of this halr wash does not pretend it will remedy all batd- ness. There are some cases, as in woolly-headed or In kinky-halred peo- Pie, to which {t ts not Intended to ap- ply, But the natives of Madagascar think It is all right, because a Mala- gasy, by the name of Antambahoaka, who was completely bald, got a bottle of this hatr wash from a Cape ‘Towa doctor and grew a resplendent hirsute adornment which was straight and silky. Before that it haa been short and kinky. According to Capt. Wilberforce, who denies that he Is related to the Wil- derforce of anti-slavery fame, the /troublé In Madagascar is the result of fever. | Dr C. B. Jenkin, of Cape Town, “happened to touch at Madagascar In a ‘steamer, and having a bottle of the American hair wash offered it in a Jocular spirit to Antambahoaka of the Betsimiserakas tribe. At that time the fever had.taken away all his wool, The American hair wash not only grew his hair again, but, In a miraculous fash- Jon, erew it straight. Today—as the advertisement probably will read fn few weeks—Antambahoaka walks the Streets of the Malagasy capital with a cane and high collar, the cynosure ot the eyes of all Malagasy malds, tc whom straight hair Is a thing of joy forever. One bottle of American hair wash {s not enough, however, to check the dls. ease, says Capt.: Wilberforce, and there are millions In the hair wash busines: for the ploneers of an American {n- vasion of the far east. a SUE FOR DEAD MAN'S FEET Members Smashed to Pieces in Loco: motive Works, But Relatives "Want Them Anyhow. Philadelphia. — Relatives of An- thony Labowski, who was Killed at the Baldwin locomotive works recent- ly have delayed burial of his body pending an action against the Bald- win works for the recovery of Lab- owskt's feet, which were severed tn the accident that cost the man his lfe, With this object in view the dead man’s family has retained former Judge Maxwell Stevenson as counsel, who will Institute legal proceedings to recover the fect, so that the body in its entirety may be given proper burial. When the relatives went to the un dertaker’s place to arrange for the funeral they were horrified to learz that the body was footless. Burke weat to the Baldwin locomotiie works to obtain the missing feet, but the su perintendent told him that the fee had evidently been hopelessly crushed as hey had not been found, The relatives of the dead man Im: mediately became indignant at the treatment accorded them at the loco: motive works. They agreed to post pone the funeral indefinitely until the feet are recovered and placed in th coffin, FRANCE HAS BIG DEFICIT.

South Caroliria Statesman an Enthu- slastic Farmer and He Wields Pitebfork in Privgte as ‘Well as in Public. Washington.—Senator Tillman, of South Carolina, exponent cf the strenuous and aggressive Ife in the senate, Is one of the most pronoxnced exponents of the simple life In his home. Perhaps there {s no maa in public Ife who lives as simple and quist as the senior senator from South Caro- lna. His home fe 1s {deal—gentle, healthful and happy. Horn and reared on a farm, be euly anuaen the love of a country Ife, and he brought the sturdy habits and “tustoms of a Yarmer with him when he frst came to Washington. ‘The thing which impresses one the most about Sengjor Tillman's home ‘IMfe ts Its gentleifess and pertect har- ‘mony. The famous South Carolinian haa a wife and five children, the youngest one belng about 10 or 12 ‘Years old. The oldest ts his son, Benjamla R. Tillman, Jr., who was his father’s secretary for many years. The family {dolizes the father, and, in turn, he takes the greatest delight in fulfilling thelr eyery want. A person who did not know Sena- tor Tillman other than in his senatorial capacity, might think that he Is high- strung, irritdbfe, and hard to get along with. They might pursue his strenuousness, aggressiveness and fiery, debating temper into his home, and believe that these characteristics were the dominant features of hls private life. No one could make a greater mis- take. Just as the farmer goes out and (Ieads a buéy life all day long, plow- ing, harvesting, cutting down wood, etc. to come In at night and quietly spend the rest of the hours before re- tlrement, so Senator Tillman Itves. Active, ever on the hustle, flery ot temper on the floor of the senate, he Mee! ae Wess PANS (Home Life of the South Carolinian Is ‘Most Quiet and Simple.) goes home and forgets the cares of the day, simply to enjoy a few hours with his family. When congress adjourns and the senators hurry to thelr homes, none fs quicker to get away than Mr, Tillman, Down near Trenton, S. C., he has a big farm. On this plantations the senlor senator spends most of bis time in the summer, except in cam- palgn years, and there goes out and ‘actually tills the soll, just as he did 15 and 20 years ago, before his _re- ‘markable abilities and characteristics ‘brought him into public Iife. ‘If anyone wonders at the tireless ‘energy of the South Carolinian, let him go back into his past life and learn that he wasa hard working farmer, “a cornfield lawyer,” as he once cailed himself. In the cofnflelds and cotton- fields, no doubt Senator Tillman, tong before he ever entered politics, planned many of the-things which he accom- plished afterward. Perhaps down in the long corn rows he plans many of his congressional undertakings. before returning to the senate. It fs at Trenton that Senator Till- man lives the {deal life. Call upon him there and you will be received with all the hospitality of any southern gentleman, You will meet all the members of his family. You will hear him up early in the morning, and un- less he is studying some speech he will g0 to bed early at night. Senator Tillman Is one of the clean- est, moral men who ever entered the | public iife of this coygtry, and his janes fife on the farm has been one of the strongest factors Jn molding fis almost perfect moral chafacter He ‘does not drivk or smoke, and In efery respect Is the fdeal father and husband. 7 Senator Tillman comes of fighting blood, When a boy his early training was given Into the care of a gov- erness, a sister of Gen. Chester A, Ar- thur, afterward president. At the age of 16"he ran away to join the confed- erate army. ~He was overtaken by a severe illness, however, during which he lost the sight of one eye and was incapacitated for sérvice. : Senator Tilimdn's personal appear- ance is pecullar, The loss of his eye mars one side of bis face. His head 4s covered with a thick crop of jet black hair. His-Iips are thin and have a habit of curling In a contemptuous manner. When in the midst of‘an ex- citing debate this characteristic be- comes painfully noticeable. Brother senators who have sat near bim on occasions when he has been wrought up to a whité heat In'an argument, say that the snarling curl of his Ips con- vey more of contempt and deflance than they have ever seen on any other ‘human face. adpaics Sl lVSTa VG Tetaty VETERANS IN THE SERVICE TO ‘ WEAR NEW BADGE.

Ils ex- hibit includes everything from a re- volver to a large four-wheeled cannon, and all but two or three are of con- siilerable age, “Gunner” Townsend, as he is fre- quently referred to in Wilton Cen- ter village, has a hobby for anything that {s antique, and, while many rooms in his house, which was erect: ed considerably over a century 880, are stacked with his anclent weapons ot warfare, be has other collections, including “ooks, pictures, musical ta- struments and furniture, the possés- sion of which he can trace for many generations. A large part of his prop- erty was owned by his ancestors, while some of {t was purchased trom familes in whicn they had been hand ed down for nearly a century. " Of all his possessions, there are none which Townsend prides more than his guns. Almost all of them are the old-fashioned flintlocts. One ld Queen Anne musket Is in an ex- cellent state of preservation, and is about a century and a half old. The gun-is apparently as good as when first used, and shoots with great accu- racy. Every gun is kept polished and vlied, ond very frequently he tests them at a range In the rear of his home. The target Is about 200 yards from the stand, asd through almost dally practice Townsend tas become a good shot. Townsend's house resembles an ar. senal. At each entrance there are two muskets, fully “loaded, standing against the wail. Within easy reach of every window In the house there fs another, aud one large room {s fairly stacked with guns. In add- tion, there are many revolvers, pis- tols, swords, sabres, knives and other weapons lying around. Many of | these, as well as canteens, powder horns and ammunition boxes, were used in the revolution” ““t-- ei | ] He has several uniforms used by | the Miller guards, a Wilton military company of 1829, as well as a few | colonial coats and caps. On the Fourth of July Townsend | makes his appearance on the sereet | in the full uniform of a Miller guard, armed with a musket, The old man finds no greater sport than firing na- || tional salutes all day on bis can: | non. | ‘Townsend's house was erected by | John Farrington in 1790, after return- ing from the revolutionary war. In 1803 he sold it to John Lovett, who owned ft but a few years, and then it became the property of the Town- | send family: The lumber used In the | construction was all hand hewn. All | the windows are furnished with slid- | ing shutters, and the clapboards, | which were hand split, shaved and | lapped, are as good as new. |" ‘Townsend lives alone.

TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION.

In many of the States where the colored vote is a factor in politics the Republican managers have given the colored voter no recognition whatever. There may be one exception only. Secretary Taft comes forward now with the same old political rot about the duties of the South toward the disfranchised colored man and the so-called ignorant white vote. In the State of Illinois, where there is a large colored vote, the administration has paid no attention to it. Indiana is another State where the colored vote is a great factor. New Jersey, Maryland and one or two other States where the colored vote amounts to something the colored voter is not measured or counted or considered in the equation so far as the Republicans are concerned. In one speech Mr. Taft tells the colored voter and citizen to wait awhile. In a later speech he pretends to chastise the South for doing that which his administration has the power to correct. The colored voter in States that mostly need it and in which it is a factor should think and act to its best interest. The age of political promises has about passed into oblivion. Now the next question is, "Where shall the colored vote go?" Must it ally itself with the enemy and those who believe in disfranchisement, "Jim Crowism" and race prejudice? Must it go to the Socialist? The late Frederick Douglas declared that the "Republican party was the ship and all else the sea." The Rev. Geo. W. Lee declared a few years ago in commenting upon the declaration of Mr. Douglas said: "Should the colored man remain on that ship and be burned or jump overboard and be drowned?" From his standpoint it will be death either way. The Democratic party offers no inducements, while the Socialistic party guarantees, not only protection, but equality of citizenship. The colored man must think for himself. His leadership has been a failure. It is, at this time, the seakers of spoils to the detriment of the masses. It is selfish as well as patronizing. There was a time when negro leadership was a factor with administrations. Negro Democratic leadership under Cleaveland administration was recognized. Of course, should Mr. Bryan be fortunate enough to be elected, The Bee is not certain he would do the same. The Bee does not know where he stands on the negro question. Mr. Bryan has not declared himself. If he favors equality of citizenship and the protection of all citizens under the Constitution alike, then perhaps the colored voter would give him consideration. It is with the Northern vote to say what it will do. There is in the State of New Jersey strong representative colored men, who are entitled to recognition and have done faithful party service, but have received no recognition. Can the Republican party hope to go to the country and to these same col- particularly the present one, has made promises to the colored voter that are never carried out. Republican conventions deal in glittering generalities and promises only to be ignored. The last Republican platform was made to consolidate the colored vote and nothing more. None of its principles or declarations have been carried out, so far as the colored vote in the South is concerned. Let the colored voter think. A MIX UP. The Republican party is in a mix up. In almost every important State there are political divisions. On the other hand the Democrats are united. The Republican party has, since the election of the late Rutherford B. Hayes, endeavored to make terms with the South. Mr. Roosevelt went so far as to return all the captured-rebel flags. Republican administrations have conciliated the Democrats South by permitting them to disfranchise two-thirds of its vote and appointed Democratic referees to dish out federal patronage. Republicans have been kicked out of office and Democrats have been appointed in their places. After all of this, what is the condition of the Republican party in the South and the several States where the Republican vote is counted? In New York there is a mix-up. In Pennsylvania is another mix-up. There is no Republican party in the State. It has been swallowed up by the so-called reform movement. Reform movements are only the organization of one set of grafters to oust the other set from office. In other words, it is removal of one set of thieves to put in power another set. Reformers are more dangerous in a community or a country than those whom they endeavor to reform. The Republican party is in a mix-up and there is but one Republican in the country that can save the party. Whether the next Republican Convention will nominate the right man is left to be seen. The colored Republican has been eliminated from politics. The colored Republican has been an experiment. He has abeen used and abused by both the Republican and Democratic parties. He has been abused and used by the Republican party and disfranchised by the Democratic party. His leadership has amounted to a political nonentity. The administration has taken up men and has thrusted them upon the masses of the colored people and told to take them whether or no. Their reception at the White House has been too chilly for them to return a second time. There is not a representative colored man, perhaps one or two exceptions, who has the temerity to call upon a cabinet officer and ask a favor. If one should go his reception is so cold that he takes with the chills before he leaves. This entire administration is in a mix-up. OUR GIRLS. We see in the several large stores in this city hundreds of young white girls working industriously for their employers. We also see as many more attending daily and night business schools and colleges Every avenue in life is open to the white boy or girl. Those who are able to attend the public schools and graduate with high honor. The white Business High School turns out every year hundreds of young white boys and girls who reflect credit on their alma mater. On the other hand our colored boys and girls who attend and graduate from our Business High, Industrial and Academic departments of our schools must wander about looking for something to do. After our schools closed for the summer, hundreds of our young boys and girls were compelled to leave the city in the hunt for work. Many of them are away to the several summer resorts. They are working to enable them to make an honest living. Is this not a sad spectacle? How many honest mothers' hearts are quaking with fear? See how these young girls are exposed to temptations. Yet they must do something to earn enough to pur- chase their books and clothing to enable them to attend school in the fall and winter. What is the colored race in the District of Columbia doing for their boys and girls? Nothing!! The pulpit is silent. The pulpit is infatuated with its own importance and intoxicated with egotism. It magnifies its own importance by presuming that it is doing great work in the interest of the race. The white race will look out for those who need help. The colored race, or those who have means, have no confidence in their own, and if they have, they are stung by their own jealousies, egotism and selfishness. Let us do something for our boys and girls. FRANK HUME In the death of Mr. Frank Hume the city of Washington loses one of its most enterprising citizens and the State of Virginia a loyal son. Although Mr. Hume fought for the "lost cause," he died loyal to the flag of the republic and a true American citizen. Although a Democrat, he believed in equality of citizenship. He respected the rights of the colored American and fought to maintain them within his party. He often stood alone advocating the cause of the colored citizen. The colored American found in him a friend. He was a faithful husband and a good father. He at all times was ready and willing to aid the needy. He has often suggested plans, whereby the colored citizen could better his condition. Mr. Hume in years gone by saw the existing prejudice against the colored people who desired to ride upon waters of the Potomac, he suggested to several of his Maryland friends to organize a steamboat company and purchase a boat and secure ground near the banks of the Potomac in Maryland as a pleasure resort for the colored people. The River Queen is the production of Mr. Hume, and Notley Hall, Maryland, is the resort. Mr. Hume has on several occasions offered to sell the River Queen and Notley Hall to the colored people, but there were none enterprising enough to make the purchase. The colored Americans of this city lose a good friend in the person of Mr. Hume. He was also one among the few large business houses in the city to encourage newspaper enterprises among the colored Americans, which is but one among his many acts of liberality. The Bee extends to his bereaved family its profound sympathy. THE CAPITAL SAVINGS BANK. The receivers who were appointed by the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia to close up the business of the late Capital Savings Bank have completed their work and announced through The Bee two weeks ago that they would pay to all depositors so much on a dollar. There were about sixteen hundred or two thousand depositors who leaped with joy when this announcement was made. Many of them who had gone to be sick the moment the doors for the bank were closed immediately got up and shouted with joy. "Thank the Lord!" shouted one old sister after having read the notice in The Bee. Armed with a copy of The Bee she called at 609 F street, N.W., and called for Receiver Stewart, who was perspiring over a long list of two thousand names, trying to put them in alphabetical order. The old lady presented herself to Receiver Stewart, who gave her a very cordial greeting. He took her book and ascertained that his slip corresponded with her book. She said that she was five years saving that money, which was fifty dollars, and she was glad that the Lord was going to return it to her. Lawyer Stewart informed her that he was not the Lord. "It makes no difference, sir; the Lord sent it, even if the devil brought it." Receiver Stewart informed the old lady that she was entitled to $1.50. You can imagine the old lady's feelings. It is indescribable. Three per cent is the amount that the receivers are paying on all deposits! Mr. Frank Hume one of the best-known merchants in this city, is dead. Mr. Hume was a humanitarian and a man who was loved by all who knew him. One of the proudest acts in Mr. Hume's life was when he had the picture of his old black mammy taken. It was on a cold winter's day when the editor of The Bee called upon Mr. Hume at his place of business on Pennsylvania avenue. He was seated at his desk. Among other things he spoke feelingly of his old black' mammy, who used to nurse him. He said, "the old lady comes to see me often and I never allow her to go away hungry or want for anything if in need." He took pride in speaking of his benefactress. Mr. Hume was a humanitarian and a man who respected everybody. He was loved for his honesty and acts of kindness to the poor. At 225 o'clock Tuesday morning he died at his home, 1235 Massachusetts avenue. He had been ill for a long time and was confined to his home since May 6 last. He suffered from a complication of kidney and MR. FRANK HUME. stomach troubles, which were the immediate cause of his death. In his last illness he was attended by Drs. Charles C. Marbuiry, Cuthbert and Van Ranslear. The remains were interred in Ivey Hill Cemetery, in Alexandria county, Virginia. The services were conducted by the Rev. Clement Brown and the Rev. Thomas W. Cooke, of Dayton, Ky., a son-in-law of the deceased. Of Old Scotch Stock. Mr. Hume was descended from the old Scotch border family of that name, characteristics of which survived strongly in him. Loyalty to convictions, strength of mind and sturdy courage have long been traits of the Humes, and Frank Hume possessed them all. The family was distinguished in Scotland and from the migration of the first American of the name, in 1721, soon rose to distinction in this country. The American ancestor was George Hume, came to Virginia and by appointment of William and Mary College became surveyor for a large portion of that colony under Lord Fairfax. He was a friend and associate of Washington, in whose field explorations he participated. Frank Hume was born in the county of Culpeper, where for several generations the ancestral home has been located, July 21, 1843. His father at that time held an office in Washington and the family moved soon afterward to the city of Alexandria and subsequently to the capital itself. For a number of years the family residence was situated on Massachusettsetts avenue, between Elev- A "MY OLD BLACK MAMMY." tenth and Twelfth streets, N. W., and there young Hume spent a part of his boyhood. A Confederate Veteran. His father afterward purchased a farm near the town of Bladensburg, in Maryland. At the age of sixteen the son obtained a clerkship in the wholesale house of Edward Hall, which he abandoned at the outbreak of the war, to cast his fortunes with his native State. He crossed the Potomac and enlisted in the Volunteer Southrons, the famous company which had been commanded by Jefferson Davis during the Mexican War. The company had become a part of the Twenty-first Mississippi. With this regiment Mr. Hume participated in the battles of Seven Pines, Savage Station, Maryland Heights, Sharpsburg, Fredericksburg, Marye's Heights, Gettysburg, where he was wounded in the thigh; Chester Gap, Chickamauga, Chattanooga, Campbell's Station, Siege of Knoxville, Falling Waters, Bunker Hill, Malvern Hill, and many others. In May, 1864, he was detailed to the cavalry corps commanded by Gen. J. E. B. Steuart, for staff duty. After the mortal wounding of General Stuart at Yellow Tavern, Mr. Hume reported in person to Gen. Robert E. Lee, and remained in service until the surrender at Appomatox First Washington Store. Then he decided to take General Grant's advice, and "go home and raise a crop." He went to Orange county and for two years followed the then precarious and uncertain occupation of a planter. He came to Washington, in 1867, to accept a clerkship in the store of Barruch Hall, and two years later, with Richard Poole, organized the firm of Poole & Hume. Mr. Poole soon withdrew on account of ill health and Mr. Hume had continued in the active and successful management of the business up to the time of his death. For many years Mr. Hume's home has been at Warwick, just across the Potomac, where he had dispensed a gracious hospitality. He married, in 1870, Miss Emma Phillips Norris, a daughter of the late John E. Norris. Mr. Hume has been sent twice to the Virginia Legislature, declining a third election. When Coxey's army descended upon Washington he did much to keep those dissatisfied and turbulent spirits within bounds, his work in this matter being the subject of congratulations and thanks from President Cleveland, Secretary of War Lamont, and the Board of District Commissioners. A Cuban Sympathizer. He was active in his sympathy for the Cuban revolutionists and served as treasurer of the National Cuban League. After the debts of the league had been paid and all its expenses defrayed, the surplus in the treasury was turned over to General Gomez, to be used in the care of the sick and wounded Cubans. Mr. Hume was a member of the Washington Board of Trade and chairman of the committee on railroads; was president of the Independent Steamboat and Barge Company; a director of the Safe Deposit Savings and Trust Company of Alexandria, Va., one of the largest institutions of the kind in that State; a director of the Firemen's Insurance Company, a member of the local Business Men's Association, and of many social, business and charitable organizations. Mr. Hume is survived by his widow, Mrs. Emma Norris Hume and nine children, Frank N. Hume, Attorney Robert Scott Hume, Dr. Howard Hume, John E. Hume, Alan P. Hume, Mrs. Alice Hume, wife of the Rev. Thomas W. Cooke, of Dayton, Ky.; Mrs. Nannie G. Jewett, wife of Lieut. Harry C. Jewett, of the United States Engineer Corps; Miss Emma N. Hume, and Miss Mabel H. Hume.

The occasion was a reception and banquet to Rev. W. L. Taylor and wife. Rev. Taylor is president of the Grand United Order of True Reformers, and the man who has done great work for the national organization. Mr. G. W. R. Griffin, chief of the local division in this city in connection with his many organizations tendered to this distinguished man and his most amiable wife this mark of respect and consideration. The hall was beautifully decorated with flags, palms and other plants. The banquet table was also decorated with cut flowers and other decorations. There were many distinguished persons present to do honor to the honored guests. There were fully three hundred and fifty invited guests seated at the table, which was set up in T shape by Caterer E. Murray. The master of ceremonies was Mr. W. R. Griffin, who in a well-delivered address stated that the reception and banquet were in honor of Dr. Taylor and his loving wife. His address was full of sound sense and logic. Mr. Griffin has done good work to increase the membership of the organization. Following is the program as presented by the toastmaster: The Object of the Grand Fountain U. O. T. R. and its Mission—M. M. Peace. Solo—M. L. Taylor, M.D. Reformer Building as a Public Necessity in the District of Columbia—Arthur S. Gray. The Public Press—W. Calvin Chase. Introduction of our Guest—J. A. Lankford. Address—Rev. W. L. Taylor, D.D. The address of Mr. Lankford, introducing Rev. Taylor, was listened to with great attention. The response of Rev. Taylor excited the wildest enthusiasm. He told some hard facts. Hon. W. T. Vernon, register of the treasury, was introduced and received an ovation. Mr. Vernon spoke eloquently and forcefully.

YOUNG GREGORY SCORES.A POINT. The son of Prof. J. M. Gregory, of Bordentown, N. J., who is counsel in a celebrated poisoning case, scored several points in his cross examination, says the Trenton Daily Times, which speaks as follows: FOR SALE. For Sale Loc at Liucoln, D.

For further information address Rev. L. B. Moore, Dean, Howard University, Washington, D. C. Hand Writing Basis. Handwriting is the basis of the state's case. Tuesday afternoon Prof. Dickinson H. Farley, teacher in penmanship at the State Schools was called and testified to the similarity of Davenport's writing to that of the address on the box. Prof. Farley thought that the writing on the box of candy was Davenport's. On cross-examination, however, Mr. Gregory took the keen edge off of Prof. Farley's evidence by asking him questions that he could not answer. Finally Mr. Gregory scored a body blow when he made Prof. Farley refuse to examine eight specimens of hand-writing; some of which might be written by Davenport and some of which might be imitations. Prof. Farley declined to accept the challenge in a test of that kind. This morning the State had Prof. Frank B. Moore of the Rider, Moore & Stewart Business Schools on the stand as an expert. Mr. Moore stated positively that the writing on the box of candy sent to Josephine was the same as certain specimens submitted by Davenport. He pointed out a number of characteristics in the two specimens that had enabled him to arrive at his conclusion. Mr. Gregory cross-examined Prof. Moore cleverly, and, as in the case of Prof. Farley, he succeeded in wiping out the full force of the testimony. The same eight slips of paper that Prof. Farley refused to examine were handed to Prof. Moore. He said he could, if given time, tell if any of the eight were actually written by the defendant, but it would take probably three hours and it would take as many days before a critical examination could be made. Then Mr. Gregory led the expert into a well-laid trap that was another of the points scored this morning by the defense. Prof. Moore when pressed beyond eudurance on the-point of taking so much time to tell which of the eight signatures were Davenport's, said he could give an off-hand opinion. "Well, let's have that," said Mr. Gregory. "I think," said Prof. Moore, "that all of these eight specimens of writing are clever imitations made by a handwriting expert for the sole purpose of fooling another handwriting expert." "That's your opinion?" interrogated Mr. Gregory. "Off hand," replied Professor Moore. "That's quite satisfactory to the defense," retorted Mr. Gregory and then he gave the eight slips into the care of the court with the statement that he wanted to be sure that the impression did not get to the jury that anyone had tamped with the papers after Prof. Moore's statement that none of them had been written by defendant. The case will more than likely get to the jury this afternoon. THE CHRISTIAN CONGRESS.

CLIFFORD Diamond Ring Valued at $20,000 Lost by Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney Discovered with Darklanterns. New York.—Four amateur sleuths engaged in a search the other night for a diamond ring, lost more than a week ago, near Westbury, L. I. Tiffany & Co. had advertised for the ring and offered a reward of $1,000 for its recovery. It was learned, after the finding of the ring, that the owner was Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney. It was a wedding gift from her father-in-law, the late W. C. Whitney, and was val- The sleuths were successful in their search and will receive the reward. They were John Deverett, a gardener; William Adams, coachman for Stanley Mortimer; Thomas Griffin, gardener for Harry-Payne Whitney, and John Griffin. The four borrowed a diamond ring from Mrs. Whitney and then dropped it on the Whitney lawn. They flashed a bull's-eye lantern on the sparkler to see what the effect would be. In this way they discovered that under the sharp rays of the light the diamond could be seen in the grass plainly at a distance of ten feet. The quartette then formed a line with about ten feet between each and began a systematic search of the lawn under the rays of lanterns. At the end of half an hour Deverett spied the missing diamond as it nestled under a wisp of grass. The sleuths immediately took the valuable lable to Mrs. Whitney, who was delighted at its recovery. She assured them that they would get the reward, which they had agreed beforehand to divide equally. TO TOUR EUROPE A-WHEEL Five Cornell Students Expect to Travel 10,000 Miles During Their Vacation. Ithaca, N. Y.—Five Cornell students will spend their summer vacations in a trip, by wheel through Europe. The party, which is made up of George W. Naysmyth, Walter Manning Ladd, William Tudor Price, A. H. Candee and Manuel Marco-Romero, left New York on the Celtic Tuesday, and will be gone three months. Three of the students will work their passage across by acting as assistant engineers on the steamer, and all of them have arranged to sell accounts of their trip to newspapers throughout the country. Romero, who is a Peruvian, will represent the largest daily in his native city, Lima, Peru. England, France, Germany, Holland and Austria are on the itinerary, and as a final wind-up the boys intend to make a trip into Russia, although no one of them knows anything about the language or customs of that country. Special cards of admission to all the big factories of Europe have been given to the students through the efforts of Director Smith, of Sibley college. The party expects to travel about 10,000 miles. MAKE 'DANDIES' OF SOLDIERS Englishman Coming with New Cut for Uniforms—Government to Pay Him $1,000 a Week. Washington. — Under engagement with the war department, G. V. Winter, military tailor, London, England, has started for America to design new-style service uniforms for the army. His salary will be $1,000 a week. The Washington officials have given him a free hand. It is hoped he will design something smart for both branches of the United States service. American army men are smart, but although the materials of their uniform are superior to those of the British army, their design and cut are most unsatisfactory. The officials are anxious to avoid any semblance of German uniforms and wish to copy the English idea as far as practicable. Their offer was most flattering to the London tailor. At one time the negotiations nearly fell through, as Winter demanded the money he would receive for his services he deposited in a London bank before he departed from England for this country. HEN MOTHERS BABY PIGS. Illinois Plymouth Rock Fowl Carries Her Maternal Instinct to Unique Extreme. Arçola, Ill.—A clucking Plymouth Rock hen mothering five little grunting red pigs really appears to be carrying the mother instinct a little beyond its legitimate bounds. The case in question may be seen at W. A. McClain's farm, two miles southwest of this city. An old hen wanted to sit in the hog shed at the time the little pigs were born, and as she was denied the eggs necessary for the fulfillment of her desires, she determined not to be outwitted, and arose to the emergency by volunteering to accept the responsibilities of motherhood with Mrs. Hog. The offer apparently was accepted in good faith, and since the day of their birth, she has been constantly with them day and night. At evening she, always gathers two of them under her sheltering wings, where they spend the night, apparently with the greatest satisfaction. The devotion seems to be mutual. "When are you goog to write another book?" asked they. "When I have something to say," she used the eminent author. And just "or that they pronounced him odd. Not I. The Trust PURITY ICE CO.

"Electrobus" is a word that is likely to be accepted in London before long. The London Chronicle has this to say of words of similarly bad make-up: "The last edition of Webster has had to admit 'electrocute' (under profest, as a newspaper word), although the final syllable of the Latin participle 'sacutus,' borrowed from 'execute,' is as recaningless as the final syllable lopped from 'omnibus.' Even before that 'electroler' had forced its way in, with its barbarous 'lier' from 'chandelier,' in which the 'l' belongs to the candle part of the word. These 'electro' violences to language seem to be inevitable, though 'electro' itself means only amber and should, strictly, be 'electrico' in such compounds." A Paris court has decided that an artist remains master of the identity of his work after he has sold it, and that the substitution of any other name on it entitles him to damages. JUSTICE BROWN RETIRES. Michigan Jurist Quits United States Supreme Bench After Fifteen Years' Service. Washington, — Aassociate Justice Henry B. Brown has retired from the bench of the United States supreme court, after serving since 1831. It is understood that he will be succeeded by William H. Tank, at present secretary of war. On the minutes of the supreme court there has been spread a letter to Justice Brown signed by Chief Jus- M. tice Fuller and Associate Justices Harlan, Brewer, White and Peckham, expressing their regret over his retirement and testifying to their high appreciation of his services on the bench. Justice Brown made a suitable reply. The retiring justice was 70 years old last March. He ascended the bench in January, 1891. Previous to that, year he had been United States judge for the Eastern district of Michigan, from 1875 until 1890. water.

NEW.BREED OF FOWLS. Ingenuity of New Jersey. Farmer Overcomes the Annoyance of Scratching. New York.—A New Jersey farmer has developed a breed of hens that ought to prove popular. For a number of years he had been annoyed by a neighbor's hens scratching in his garden, so he set about devising a strain of hens that would stay at home and not annoy the neighbors. He says he has succeeded. The new breed of fowls has legs of uneven length. The right leg is about six inches long and the left leg four. Owing 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. Furthermore, there can be no scratching by hens with mismated legs. When a hen stands on the short leg the long one is put out of business and when she stands on the long one the short one can't reach the ground. CANVASSING BY TELEPHONE London Solicitors Have New Way of Adding to Bundas 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 canvassing purposes be pursued. The following is an illustration: "Ring-a-ting went the bell of the telephone in my private house at tea-time. "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 convassing 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 convassing 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 d finesse."

Eat Only Fruit and Vegetables and Wear But Few Clothes—Go to Bed at Sundown—"Back to Nature" Is Their Motto. Geneva, Switzerland.—The strange colonies of hermits who have taken up their abode in the neighborhood of Locarno, Ronco and Orselina are increasing in numbers. One group, which occupies the wooded plateau known as Monte Verita, is 125 strong, and counts in its members six German professors, three military officers, one of whom is married to a countess who also belongs to the sect, two doctors and a priest. The majority are well-to-do, and some are wealthy. As these pay well for anything they buy and do, not trouble about making converts, the inhabitants are on friendly terms with them. They sleep in caves, are vegetarians, and do not wear ordinary clothing. A linen hood and a shroud of the same material are the only garments they wear. Their feet, legs, arms and neck are uncovered, and the hair is never cut, though the men trim their beards in a patriarchal way. The women allow their tresses to float in the air. The motto of all is "Back to nature." "The height of wisdom and philosophy," they say, "is to understand nature; that alone brings peace and happiness." They rise at dawn and go to sleep with the setting of the sun; they eat only fruit and vegetables and drink only water. In the summer they have daily sun baths, and in the winter snow baths. Some of them have extraordinary theories, which they carry out with great perseverance. One beautiful woman of 30, who was formerly a well-known singer at the Berlin opera, refuses to touch money, which she says is the root of all evil. Her theory often lands her in difficulties, from hich she occasionally extricates herself by singing to her debtors. Another members eats only vegetables that ripen underground. A third confines himself strictly to raw eggs and potatoes. A fourth spends $25 a week among the poor villagers and keeps the doctors busy by bringing to their notice cases for which he pays. All the colony are in the best of health and always appear perfectly happy, amiable and polite. HAS TWO HUSBANDS AT 18 Mrs. Schofield, of White Plains, N. Y., Married at 13 "for a Lark"—Wants to Be Rid of Both. White Plains, N. Y.—Mrs. Edna Schofield, who is 18 years old, alleges that she has two husbands. One is suing her for divorce. Recently she appeared in the supreme court here to testify in an action she has brought to have her first marriage to Schofield annulled because she was under age at the time. Mrs. Schofield was formerly Edna See, a White Plains girl. She says she wants to get rid of both husbands. Mrs. Schofield testified in her annulment suit that she was only 13 years old when she was married to Schofield. The wedding took place in Port Chester on December 13, 1902. She declares that it was simply a girlish lark. She never lived with her husband, as Lawyer Taylor remarked that she was so badly scared that she went back to her home. Last fall she married a man named Light at Stamford, Conn., and now Light has brought an action in the Connecticut courts to annul his marriage to Mrs. Schofield on the ground that at the time of their marriage she already had a husband, and that their marriage was illegal. Arkansas Maiden Meets Kansas Man Through Card in Crate and Wedding Follows. Rogers, Ark.—Miss Lucile Corley, of Centerton, this county, was married to Mr. A. H. Hemphill, of Chanute, Kan., the other day, and they give all the credit for the match to a card the bride placed two years ago in a strawberry box that her father was shipping to the Kansas markets. The purchaser of the berries handed the card to Mr. Hemphill, who is a prosperous young tailor, and the correspondence that ensued let him to make a visit to the Ozarks, where he pressed his suit with such success that a wedding followed. It is probable that next season will see a boom in the card business, for this is the third wedding this spring that must be credited to the strawberry crate. Wills Estate to Red Horse. A farmer near Toulouse, France, recently died, leaving a curious will. The document was written on the cuff of a shirt and read as follows: "I hereby appoint as my sole heir and legatee my old red horse and I wish him to become the property of my nephew Jules." The nephew and other relatives brought an action to upset the will, but the court ruled that the farmer was in his right mind and that the nephew as keeper of the horse was to have a life interest in the property.

In ing this mysterious condition "YANKEE DOODLE" PHOTO. Marblehead, Mass., Indignant Because of Liberties Taken with Celebrated Painting. Marblehead, Mass.—The act of some one in authority in allowing a publishing firm to take a photograph of the celebrated painting, "Doodle, or Spirit of 76," in order of the vote taken at the annual meeting in 1900, when it was decided after considerable discussion, not to allow any one to photograph the painting, is causing indignation here. Not only was a photograph allowed to be taken of the painting, but it was taken from the frame in the resting room at Abbott hall onto the lava in the sun for the photograph The painting was presented to his town in 1880 by Gen. John H. Devereux, of Cleveland, a native of Marblehead, and is in care of the board of sewemen. Just who is responsible for the removal of the painting from the room is not known. The painting is life size and represents two drummers and a fifer, each portrait being true to life. It was painted by A. M. Willard, of Cleveland, and for the aged drummer the painter found in his own father the face and figure that suited him. For the fifer he chose Hugh Mosher, a farmer soldier, who had blown his life through the wars and carried a musket as well. For the boy drummer he chose the son of Gen. Devereux. The painting was on exhibition at the Centennial at Philadelphia and is valued at $20,000. CHILD SLAVES IN ISLANDS. Peonage Discovered in Pampanga Province of Philippines—Court Stops Practice. Manilla.—Cases of caciques committing children to slavery are not everyday occurrence, but seem to be sufficiently frequent in Pampanã province. It was not long ago that a case of this kind was brought to the notice of the judge of the court of the first instance of that province to adjudicate. Now comes another appeal to the supreme court from the decision of Judge Llorente, of the court of first instance of Pampanã. The case is of civil character application for a writ of habeas corpus by the father of two children, aged 15 and 16 years, for their recovery from bondage. The plaintiff is menegildo Cano and the defendant Marlano Allmurung. The defendant held in bondage Domingo and B. Cano, minors, and refused to bear them up to their parents. As a result of the suit the defense laid a wealthy Pampangan, was ordered to release the children. From this order he appealed, but the children were ordered released on the writ issued by Judge Llorente. Kaiser Limits Boozing. The German war office has a special character scale for officers who are probably unique. It is known as a system of five S's, which are written on the margin of service notes. There has long been a great mystery about this, but at last the meaning is believed to have been penetrated. S means a tippler; SS, a heavy drinker; SSS, a sottish drinker; SSSS, a sottish drinker of brawn. Up to this point the kalser is patient and merciful, but when five S's, clifying a sottish drinker of brandy, is reached, the culprit is promptly cashiered. Didn't Have Time to Marry The marriage of James D. L. hart, of Bellefontaine, O. to Mrs. Ruth Wood, a wealthy Philadelphia widow, the other day, has discerned an interesting romance. The course had been in progress for a number of years, but Mr. Lockhart was so engrossed with a suit in the state courts against his brother, which had been in litigation for thirty years, that he put aside matrimonial inclinations until that should be ended. A few weeks ago he was awarded a final judgment in the supreme court against his brother and recovered about $15,000. Lea Station, New Jersey ave & C st. ROYAL BLUE LINE.

Dream of Residents of Seattle. Wash., May Soon Be Realized—Cost of Waterway Estimated at Nearly $8,000,000. Seattle, Wash.—A ship canal, connecting the waters of Puget sound and Lake Washington, a project which has for two decades been the dream of the people of Seattle, will become a reality, if a bill introduced in the house becomes a law. This canal scheme, which is about one-eighth of the magnitude of the project on the isthmus of Panama, has repeatedly been examined by boards of engineers of the United States army, and was described as "fascinating to the imagination." Several boards have, however, reported against it as a river and harbor enterprise to be authorized by congress, since in the absence of a water way there is no "demand of commerce" to justify the expenditure. The latest estimate of cost for a canal 32 feet deep was nearly $8,000,000. The bill introduced merely asks congress for the use of the right of way which was acquired by the federal government from King county several years ago, and for the maintenance of the water way after it is completed by private enterprise. A group of eastern capitalists propose to establish a large steel manufacturing plant on Lake Washington, and they offer to build the canal and take their chances of being remunerated for the expenditure by the vote of the citizens of the count. Lake Washington is, situated only four or five miles from tide water, and the greater part of the city of Seattle is situated between the lake and the sound. Also between Lake Washington and the sound is Lake Union, a smaller body of water of great depth. Lake Washington is 28 miles long, and is so deep as to admit, upon the completion of the canal, of the largest ocean going steamships in the world. The navies of all nations could find anchor in this fresh water basin. The Seattle people expect that manufacturing establishments will spring up on the shore of the lake, and that the extension of the city to the northward and eastward will experience a tremendous growth within the next few years. TO BURY CHINESE AT HOME Bones of Oriental Victims of San Francisco Fire to Be Taken Back to Native Country. San Francisco.—If the Chinese who met death in the fire of April 18 knew what disposition was to be made of their bodies it is likely that death would have been robbed of half its terror. Their bodies are now being prepared for a trip 12,000 miles to tombs that will be built for them in China. This is almost the highest honor that could be paid a Chinese. The Chinese "Six Companies" will be in charge of the work and the Chinese relief committee will cooperate with the larger body. The bones of the Chinese fire victims will be shipped to Hong-Kong. There relatives will take charge of them and carry them to their old homes in all parts of the empire. There will be elaborate burial ceremonies before the remains are lowered into the mother clay of China, and it will have cost more than $7,000, but the customs and religious beliefs of centuries will have been observed and the relatives of the celestials who were roasted in San Francisco will feel assured that the dead can sleep in peace, ample propitiation to the spirits of their ancestors having been made. WEALTH OF GREAT BRITAIN Rule of King Edward's Empire Extends Over Area of 11,146,084 Square Miles. New York.—Although the population of the United Kingdom is only 47,605,177, it holds the reins of an empire with a population of 396,968,798. The area of the United Kingdom is barely 120,980 square miles; but the British empire extends over 11,146,084 square miles, being larger than the Russian empire, which comes next, by more than 2,000,000 square miles. No empire can produce so wide a range of valuable things, natural and artificial, as the British. Precious minerals and precious stones, ivory, wheat, corn, wool, timber, fruit—in fact, every necessity of life and nearly every known luxury—are to be had at first hand within the empire, and the words "British made" are still recognized all the world over as being the hall mark of excellence on every manufactured product, from suitings to iron churches, and from penknives to locomotives. There is one financial institution which stands out boldly above all others, and is indisputably the strongest in the world. It is the Bank of England. Called from Car to Wed Pair. As the Rev. W. L. S. Murray, pastor of Washington Heights Methodist church at Wilmington, Del., was riding on a street car he was halled by three persons, who asked, if he were a preacher. They said they had come there to be married and did not know a minister. The obliging clergyman with the others hurried to a magistrate's office, where a license was secured, and Miss Edith Gueyer Bowman, of Philadelphia, became the wife of Frederick C. Glorius. FREE EDUCATION FOR ZONE Washington. - Twenty-three public schools with an attendance of 1,128 pupils and with 26 teachers have been established on the canal zone by the various municipalities under the direction of the canal zone government. Five of the six municipalities have adopted compulsory education laws and well attended schools are developing rapidly in a country which knew nothing of free schools before the establishment of the canal zone government. Gov. Magoon has just submitted to the 1stmlan canal commission a report of the schools which shows the enthusiasm with which municipalities have taken up school work and are planning to extend it. In June two more schools were established, bringing the enrollment up to 1,200 and it is expected that the number will reach 1,500 in a short time. In commenting on the school system Gov. Magoon says: "I would particularly call attention to the fact that no expense whatever in connection with public education on the zone has fallen on the appropriation of funds for the construction of the canal nor is it likely to, as this is being borne by the funds of the canal zone and the different municipalities, which will undoubtedly be able to carry the full cost of the maintenance as well as the initial cost of the organization." CHICAGO'S WEALTH GROWS Real Estate Assessments for Present Year Show an Increase of About $7,000,000. Chicago.—The figures on the real estate assessments for 1906 have been completed and show an increase of about $7,000,000 over last year's figures, according to Chief Clerk Haynes, of the board. The figures for Lake View show an increased valuation of over $1,200,900 over the figures of 1905. The board of assessors' valuation for 1905 is $21,073,056 and for 1906 $22,295,756. The board of review valuation for 1905 was $20,967,940. These figures give the total for the county excepting the west town as $255,944,246. This amount will be largely increased by the west town assessments, which are said to be much larger than in 1905, due to the amount of improvements which have been carried on in that section during the last year. These figures are expected by the assessors to bring the county total to a sum which will exceed the 1905 amount by at least $7,000,000. In 1905 the tax assessment by the board of assessors was $72,130,704. This was cut to $71,555,131 by the board of review. The 1905 total for the county real estate assessments was $321,942,780. The board of review's final announcement placed the real property at $319,679,320. WORK OF MICHEL ANGELO. Model of Statue Which Has Lain Unheeded for Years in Florence, Italy., Is Found. Florence, Italy. A work of Michel Angelo, which has been hidden for over three centuries, has just been discovered here through the patient study of the members of the German Historical institute of this city. It is a model of a statue which the great artist intended should ornament one of the Medici tombs. It represents a fluvial divinity and has lain for many years in a corner of the inside court of the Academy of Fine Arts. It is made of clay, sawdust and fibre, just the kind of composition recommended by Vasart in his "Lives of Italian Artists." Prof. Gotthewsky, of the German Institute, aided by Dr. Geisenheimer, of the same institution, succeeded in discovering that a work of the same kind had been presented by Bartolomeo Anmanati to the Academy of Fine Arts in 1583, and that the fragment once belonged to the collection of Cosimo de Medici. The statue has now been placed on exhibition in the Gallery of Ancient and Modern Sculpture in this city. Dog is a mail carrier. Lucifer, the big St. Bernard employed in carrying mail from Halley, Idaho, to Corral, an inland town, is six years old, and it seems likely that he will have a steady job in coming winters drawing his sled over the snow on the twenty-right-mile round trip he is making daily between the two points mentioned. Mr. Floyd's contract provides penalty in case mails are not delivered on time each day. Lucifer has saved many dollars by aiding his master in transportation of mails in a sled fitted up with suitable harness. The faithful St. Bernard has had no difficulty in drawing the sled, and often has more than one hundred pounds of mail on the load. Discovery to Chatepent Lapt. After a six months' expedition in Egypt, Smedley Norton has returned to England, claiming the discovery of the ancient papyrus plant on the banks of the Nile. This grass has been long lost or hidden, but Mr. Norton brings many specimens of beautiful paper made from it and claims he can deliver unlimited quantities of paper in England and the United States for $5 a ton, better than the paper now in use costing $50 per ton. If this be a fact the paper supply of the world, at present dependent on wood pulp, will be revolutionized. , . , = a a Great Hair Straightener and Grower Most Wonderful Discovery ever made for curly, kinky and knotty hair.
