ADDRESS CALLING THE YOUNG PEOPLE'S CHRISTIAN AND EDUCATIONAL CONGRESS TO ORDER BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE LOCAL COMMITTEE, REV. OSCAR J. W. SCOTT, A.M., D.D.

The ideal is the real force which underlies effort, directs activity, and leads both races and individuals to their final destiny. It has been said that one hero transformed a whole people. Homer, the blind bard, opened up a gallery in the clouds and there unveiled his Achilles. It became the ambition of every Athenian boy to fix the Iliad in his mind and repeat Achilles in his heart and life. Soon the Achilles in the sky looked down upon 20,000 young Achilles walking in the streets beneath. One ideal man, the Grecian hero, who lived, save in a poet's vision, turned rude tribes into intellectual giants. We have come today to uphold our ideals and heroes to ourselves and to the world.

Mrs. Ferdinand, the oldest woman in the state of Indiana and probably in the United States, died at La Porte, Ind., last Monday at the age of 112. REV. DR. M. W. D. NORMAN ANOTHER COLORED MAN REFUSED. Last week a young colored boy had been certified by the Civil Service Commission to the Interior Department in the Pension Office as a messenger. When he presented his letter, which stated that he had been appointed to a messengership he was told that the place had just been filled. This was not true. The matter was reported to The Bee and the editor, Mr. Chase, called at the Pension office with the young man and presented him to the First Assistant Commissioner of Pensions, Mr. Davenport, who promised to investigate the matter and report. Up to date the editor of The Bee has heard nothing from the Pension office and neither has the boy, who is a graduate of the public schools in this city. On Monday another case was reported to the editor of The Bee by Mr. Geo W. Hill, of Arlington, Va., who received a letter on the 25th of July to report to Quartermaster Butts. His standing was 98. When he presented his letter he was told to wait a few moments and after the official returned Mr. Hill was informed that the place had just been filled. It is quite evident that the President doesn't know that the colored Civil Service applicants are being discriminated against in the several departments by these prejudiced under-trappers. MISSISSIPPI CAME STRONG. The delegation from the State of Mississippi arrived in the city Sunday evening. They came in a special car with sleepers and a dining coach. There were several distinguished persons and many accomplished persons. Dr. L. H. Harris and his most amiable wife, Dr. Willie Harris, have as their guests several of this delegation. Dr. Harris and wife are from Mississippi and their guests are Misses H. V. Dixon, J. Gertrude Johnson, two of the best known ladies in the city of Vickburg; Mrs. C. Henry Wood and her daughter, Miss A. Dukie Woods, Mrs. Martha Harris, mother of Dr. L. H. Harris; Mr. and Mrs. James H. Dabney of Third street, the latter a native of Jackson before her marriage to Mr. Dabney and with them Misses Sallie Rother, Sinnie Richmond, two teachers at Jackson, J. E. Bell, an accomplished music teacher at Jackson, Misses and Mrs. A. W. Williams, a well known merchant, who is said to be one of the most enterprising in the State. Mr. Arthur P. Bedow of Jackson, Miss, and others accompanied the delegation. These ladies have attended many social functions while here and have been highly entertained by Dr. L. H. Harris and wife, and Mr. and Mrs. James H. Dabney. Mrs. Dabney took her guests out driving monday and paid the office of The Bee a visit. They also drove to Arlington, Va., the National grave, the monument, Soldiers' Home and many other important points. Mrs. Dabney is an accomplished holder of the reins herself and when she gets behind two horses she looks like a Roman chariot driver. BALTIMORE & OHIO RAILROAD.

CLAIR. Dr. M. W. Clair is the chairman of the Press and Promotion Committee. Had his plans been carried out a great deal more would have been done. He believed in a liberal distribution of news matter. He with Dr. Daverport did not believe as some others in the use of the local press. Rev. Clair is a polished scholar, an affable and most pleasing C minister. His news matter was well culled but not so well distributed because he was embarrassed by a narrow set of would be editors or meet who claim to know how to run a newspaper, but were unable to start one of their own. With the limited means in his possession he published the coming of the Christian Congress far and wide. REV. J. ANDREW TAYLOR. Rev. J. Andrew Taylor, pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church, is one of the best known men in the United States. Dr. Taylor is the treasurer of the Negro Young People's Christian Congress, and of this committee. He deserves credit not a more honest man exists than he. Since the entrance of Dr. Taylor in this Rev. Dr. M. W. D. Norman is the city he has had blackmailers and traducers to blot out. He has had many to encounter, all because he has been a success in church work. He has successfully laid the blackmailers and traducer low and the people of Shiloh have confidence in him because they know that the enemies within the church have not only endeavored to destroy the church, but their pastor. A minister above everyone else must always be on watch. It was on account of his moral character and honesty that he was made the treasurer of this Christian Congress and not one cent has been paid out by him without the proper vouchers. Many attempts have been made by infamous characters to blacken his reputation, but he is too honorable a man and the people have confidence in him. COLUMBIA'S GIFT. Mr. John E. McGraw, manager of the Columbia Ice Company, furnished the ice and waiters free of charge to the delegates and visitors who attended the Negro Young People's Christian Congress. SheKeptHerWord or Isevi Iresman --- --- Instead of Mr. Trooman leaving, it now happened to be Mr. Lear Ontop who was packing up to go to New York. Before going away, Mr. Lear Outop took occasion to say to his parents that while he knew that his friend Trooman was a gentleman, he (Lear) did not think he was in a position to seek the hand of Bettie, his cousin and adopted sister. "It was doubtful about his (Trooman) getting in with some good law firm," said he. The remarks of Mr. Lear Ontop caused his mother to write to the school for information concerning Mr. Levi Trooman. She ascertained that the father of Mr. Trooman was dead; that his mother sent him money to defray his expenses, which he banked, preferring to work his way; that he had a sister abroad with rich relatives; that his home was in the State of Maryland and his family connection was good. In all Mrs. Ontop was, for the time being, satisfied, but she did not tell any one what she had done. In conversation with Mr. Trooman she elicited in substance the same facts she had gotten from his school instructors. He told her of the many pieces of music which he had written and for which he had been well paid by publishers. He dwelt on his last composition and said that it was the most important of all. He did not say anything of a mortgage on his mother's property to Mrs. Ontop, as he considered that private business, but he hoped to realize a sum of money large enough to clear it of debt and put his family in a position of ease and comfort. He had studied law out of deference to his mother's wishes; he desired to devote his life to music. He had caught a glimpse of the dawn which he believed would soon give way to a refulgent time when his music would be placed with that of the best composers. He pledged Mrs. Ontop to secrecy and then informed her that the Juliet of whom Miss Ontop had spoken was his sister and was abroad to perfect herself in the languages and in music. His frankness and manliness were indelibly stamped on Mrs. Ontop and she resolved to encourage him and use all honorable means to have him wed her adopted daughter. No mother felt prouder of her son than did Mrs. Ontop of her son, Lear, and she hoped to see him happily married but not to his cousin Bettie. There never had; to her knowledge, beep a deformity in the Ontop family, "but one never knows what to expect when cousins marry." Mr. Trooman spoke of the friendship between Mr. Lear Ontop and himself from their first meeting and of the pleasure afforded him by becoming acquainted with the other members of the family. He felt that Miss Ontop was pleased with him from a musical standpoint but more than this was to be found out. There were a number of young ladies who visited the home of Mrs. Ontop and yet her son could never find it convenient to accompany any one of them to a reception or any place of amusement; what time he had to give to such things was devoted to his cousin and his friend, Mr. Trooman. On one or two occasions Mr. Trooman felt that he would not go out with the family, so with the permission of his host he remained at home and put in a little work on his music. This did not meet the approval of Mrs. Ontop, who declared that there was no reason for such. "Mr. Trooman must enjoy the hospitality of our friends while he is here," said Mrs. Ontop, and she requested her son to say to Mr. Trooman that she expected him (Mr. Trooman) to be ready to go whatever the family goes. Mrs. Ontop did not know how willing Mr Trooman was to do her bidding. Near the close of a reception given by Mr. and Mrs. Ontop, in honor of Miss.Ontop, Mr. Trooman could not resist the temptation to slip out of the crowded parlors to a secluded end of the veranda for a few moments. He was not the only one who sought relief in the outdoor air. Mr. Lear Ontop had discovered that the cheeks of his cousin had an unusual glow and that he must escort her to a seat outside. Soon after Mr. Trooman had seated himself he heard approaching steps, then he recognized the voice of his chum, Mr. Lear Ontop. "Sit here, I have one question to ask," and the two were seated, Mr. Lear Ontop and another person. Of course Mr. Trooman was compelled to remain where he was, for it would have been in bad taste for him to have moved, and he heard every word which was spoken. "Do you know that I have fallen desperately in love with you, my dear cousin, and that you return that love?" Do not try to answer now; I am willing to give you all the time you wish to consider all I have said, and if your answer --- is yes, I shall be the happiest man living, but if your answer is no, I shall go to New York and plunge into the legal business, resolved never to marry as long as I live." "I can, and prefer to give you my answer now. I can always love you as a dear, good cousin and a kind brother, nothing more," was the calm, collected reply of Miss Bettie Ontop. "I have fallen in love with a man whom I do not know," she continued, by his work and for his worth. That person was, if dead, and if living is the author of that piece of music I sing so much, the title of which is 'I Am Thine.' The song which my friend Juliet sang so much and so well. Both of us have fallen in love with the composer but Juliet does not rave over him as I do." "I have tried to ascertain his real identity but as yet have been unsuccessful. That song was written for me, for each word appeals to me and I am only waiting for him to reveal himself." "I am almost in love with your friend, Mr. Trooman for the way he sings and plays 'I Am Thine,' but as I have said, I shall never wed any but the composer." Her cousin suggested that most composers were as poor as church mice and usually starved their families or reduced their to beggary, but she was confident that such would not be the case with the composer of such music as "I Am Thine." During this conversation Mr. Trooman became restless for fear Mr. Lear Ontop and his companion would hear the beating of his heart, which to him was very loud. "Am I awake or am I dreaming? Can I trust my own ears or shall I believe only half of what I see and nothing I hear? I must have fallen asleep," continued Mr. Trooman. While he was trying to convince himself that he had made no mistake, the two had been talking in his hearing returned to the room where most of the guests were. Mr. Trooman knew the author and composer of the song to which reference has been made; he knew how anxious the publishers of that song were about the success of it also. He made his way back to the parlor and no one knew that he had been out, though he felt his nerves quivering. It was he who had sent the copy of music to his sister while she was in school. Mr. Trooman was engaged in conversation with Mr. and Mrs. Ontop when he received a request from Miss Ontop to assist her in rendering "I Am Thine." Of course he granted the request and when the last sound had died away the company congratulated the performers and was eager to know if any one knew the author. In reply to Miss Ontop as to the cause of the paleness of his face, Mr. Trooman said, "I fear I did not sing and play the song acceptably." "No one except the composer could improve on your rendition, if there is any room for improvement at all," said several of those who were turning the music over and upside-down in the effort to fine some name. On an invitation of Mr. Lear Ontop Mr. Trooman went with him the day following the reception to New York. Mr. Ontop went to complete arrangements for becoming a member of the leading law firm of the State of New York. When they returned there was among the letters of Mr. Trooman one which, to judge by the many postmarks, had been to more places than two in search of its owner. Mr. Trooman knew that it was from his publishers and made it the last to be opened, remarking at the same time that "They have not yet deified on the instant they can pay me for my song." After reading a few lines of the letter it fluttered from him trembling hands to the floor. This is what he read: "Mr. Trooman—We, as you know, sent copies of 'I Am Thine' to every music dealer at home and abroad. The demand has been so great that we are pushed to fill our orders. We feel very proud and take the liberty to say that all copies now on the press and all which shall follow will be published over your true name. As soon as we can locate you we shall forward you our check for the sum of $500,000. We also desire to purchase all of your compositions as soon as completed. We know how anxious you have been to know the outcome. Stick to your music, your reputation has been established and you will surely succeed. Ceme to see us and let us shake your hand.

LEOPOLD OF BELGIUM MOST VERSATILE OF MONARCHS. How He Turned Lazgh on an Archi- tect of Note—Is Fond of Hunting and Climts Alps Za. b Summer inSearchoftheCkamo!n, _ Brussels, Levsum—Leopold IL, ‘King of the Metsiang aad sovereign of the Congo Frey S:ate, may well ‘Claim to be the most versatile of con- Unental crowned heats. There was a time when this dis.inction was popu- larly attribited to Exiperor William, but the kaiser must now “take a back seat” The “yankee uf monarchs,” as the Belgians have affectionately nick- amed their -ruler, fs, above all, a modern captain of Industry. His dar- ing speculations ‘fully extitle’ him to the sobriquet by which he is famillar- ly known to his subjects. His very versatility has a trans-Atlantic flavor, for the laurels he has.won in such varied fields of human activity as finance, diplomacy, Hterature, art and sport appear more in the line of an ‘American millionatre than of 3 Euro- pean monareh. Latterly the king seems to have been intent on proving that he might have acquired repute as an architect had he been of humbler birth, He has succeeded In making Brussels one of the most beautiful architectur- ally of continental capitals, What’ Baron Hausmann did for Paris under the second empire Leo- pold II. has planned for Brussels. He has designed some of the most artis- lic public buildings recently erected in Brussels, such as the new natiowal bank, the lovely Flemish theater (a. gem of its kind) and the new royal palace of Brussels. This place, of the purest classic style, is now nearing completion and promises to be one of the most sumptuous and aesthetic abodes on tho continent. ~" ~+* The plans for a new town hall in a Brussels suburb were submitted to him for appoval.

After ‘inspecting the plans he’sent for the architect. ‘ “Monsieur,” he sald, “your town hall promises to be a most artistic building, well worthy to-figure among the arehitectural masterpieces of Bel- gium, but there is a slight omission in your design and one from which, I fear, the town officials may have ‘cause to suffer, in winter at least. You have forgotten the chimneys In your plans.” The absent-minded architect, think- Ing It too good to keep, tells the story himself. King Leopold {s a keen sportsman and a capital shot. His favorite sport is chamois hunting and notwithstand- ing his 71 years he still scales the Alps on his annual”summer vacation In search of the chamois with all the agility of a Tyrolese mountain guide, The press has revealed to Its read- ers from time to time that some sov- ereigns work harder than thelr sub- jects, Emperor William and Emperor 'Frahels Joseph being notable exatmn- ples of the strenuous life on a throne. King Leopold, who {$ supposed out- ‘side of his realm to be a giddy seeker after pleastire or a persecutor of his Congo subjects, Is perhaps the bust- est man in Belgium. He has profound contempt for idleness, fs, never at rest and work like-a Trojan. At Laeken, his customary resi- dence, he gets up at five o'clock in summer, and half an hour later in winter. Immedistely after dressing he takes a brisk walk in the palace gardens, By seven o'clock he Is at his desk examining his mail, which 1s brought from Brussels by auto- mobile. . He breakfasts at elght o'clock, then goes back to his office and works un- til 11, when he takes a ride before luncheon. Early In the afternoon he drives to the Brussels palace, where the autiences begin at one o'clock, and, as a Tule, last until three. He returns to Laeken for five o'clock tea, and later devotes himself to affairs of state. At six o'clock he dines with Prin. cess Clementine, bis only unmarried daughter. ° In the evening he resumes work and reads the Istest, state dis patches for Brussels. His robust health and bis energy, remarkable for a man af bis age, he owes to active apd regular habits. — WILL WED RICHEST GIRL.

Eldora—Andrew Townsend Hisey, {ndependent candidate for governor, has started bls campaign with a wheelbarrow, a load of tracts and a | platform of optimism and inverted s0- clal and political economics. He Is ‘trampling from elty to town, pushing ‘the wheelbarrow full of campaign lt ‘erature and scattering the sunshine of ‘his philosophy of brotherly love and ‘welrd polities wherever he can draw acrowd, Thus far he has never lacked audiences. Hisey 1s the apostle of a new system of political economy. Early this sum- mer he thought ft into a state of per- fection, and in Its completed form calls it “Secular Government.” It partakes of exploration and Investigation, of evolution and eternal justice. Public ownership Is tabooed, competition 1s prescribed for labor and a kind word is spoken for the trust. - One plank of its novel platform touches on Indi- vidual morals and depicts a meta- morphism from vice to virtue. It ad- vlaes that each person live on the In- terest of money. The new political economy 1s out- lned by Hisey as follows: “Secular government stands for good government; Iberal scientific govern- ment, Individual, national, internation- al administration and distribution of Justice, : “Platform of secular government: “1, To rediscover the arts which are lost, and reveal those whick are hidden. 7 “2. To complete the unfinished work of ages, right the wrongs of genera- tlons past, correct the mistakes, re- trace the errors, and see to it with great care that the ills which affect the race, the foul works and foul plays‘do not reoccur. “3.

The long talked of Christian Congress is here. It entered the Capital City not in triumph, but it was a surprise to those who declared that ten thousand delegates would storm the Capital of the nation. The first day's session was the most notable. Our distinguished Commissioner, Hon. Henry L. West, who is always a welcome visitor among our people, delivered an address of welcome on the part of the District government. His speeches are always notable for their shortness, sound sense, logic and eloquence. He was enthusiastically applauded, because he always says what he means, and means what he says. Rev. Scott, the presiding officer, deier to say a thing than it is to do what livered a very fair and eloquent address. The address of Bishop Gaines was not met with approval. The applause that he received was forced and asked for by Prof. I. Garland Penn. The Bishop's address was of a patronizing character. He tells his people to cater to the white man. To be polite and make him our friend. While The Bee believes in politeness, it does not believe in treating the white man with any more consideration than they treat each other. Why does the Bishop cling to such sophistry? Why would he have his people to play the fool or the jester to an unfair and prejudiced South? He forgets the noblest Roman of them all, the late Frederick Douglass, in his speech. Douglass was as powerful as Lincoln, Sumner, Garrison and others who were named by Bishop Gaines. Langston was the young man's friend. He knew no man by the color of his skin or the curl of his hair. The colored man may need to be lectured but not with such doctrine. His speech, was tiresome. Dr. Norman made the best speech Tuesday afternoon. He was eloquent and manly. The people went wild over him. The uncouthness of the presiding officer in attempting to rap him down received a just rebuke from the audience. The remark of Bishop Gaines to the effect that speakers should cease speaking when the chain called, referring to Dr. Norman, was justly rebuked by the audience. Dr. Norman was saying something. He carried the house by storm and when he was speaking it was an evidence of the esteem in which he was held by the delegates. There is too much of the "negro" in the discussions. The speakers were and are nauseating. The "negro" was discussed from Genesis to Revelations. The address of Rev. E. W. Williams of Abbeville, S. C., and his wife were good productions of man and womanhood. Register W. T. Vernon also acquitted himself with honor. The Congress has not met the expectation of the people. There are not five hundred delegates from other states present. Why was this lack of interest? It is true the Congress contained some brilliant men and women, men and women who are highly elevated and learned in many professions. The Congress might have been a success had there been less selfishness and less back biting among the local members of the several committees. There was so much anxiety on the part of certain members of the local committees to appear big that they lost sight of the real object of the Congress. It is true that there are a few committees that deserve the highest commendation, namely the Committee on Decorations, the Music and the Arrangements Committees. The Financial Committee was continually in squabbles. Now can any one tell us what the Congress has accomplished? The Press and Promotion Committee was composed of inexperienced men. This committee started out with the avowed purpose of making one paper the organ of the Congress when there are three daily papers in the city and two weeklies. This was the most gigantic blunder that could have been made. The attempt to muzzle Rev. Norman was a direct smack at the Baptists, who outnumber the Methodists by three to one. It is what The Bee has been declaring all along, that there was too much selfishness on the part of the Methodists. The fact of the matter is the Baptists have been fair, they could have had the presiding officer, but they gave way to Rev. Scott for reasons best known to The Bee and others. The Baptists do not feel well disposed towards the actions of the presiding officer. They now see their blunder. They regret that they accepted the treasuryship when they could just as well have elected that well known pulpit orator and parliamentarian, Rev. J. Anderson Taylor. The Bee is voicing the sentiments of nine-tenths of this city and while the other one-tenth may feel displeased with this editorial, the columns of this paper are open to all. To read the program of this Congress the preachers have monopolized everything. Reiligious laymen do not appear very much. Two of the most important professions were ignored entirely, the law and the medical. Much good can be done by these congresses if they are properly managed. Preachers cannot agree on any proposition. There is too much selfishness and personal aggradization among preachers. In this case the Baptists were very liberal, more so than the three different Methodist denominations. The Baptists outnumbered them all and indeed they were more liberal and received less consideration. Our home Baptists were ignored to a great extent on the general program. Our own Dr. Cfair, a polished gentleman; Dr. Taylor, Dr. Johnson, the best pastor of the Baptist pulpit, Dr. Scott, president, Dr. Walter H. Brooks, Dr. Geo. W. Lee, who ignored one of his friends to make Dr. Scott president, and many others. What has this Congress accomplished? The columns of The Bee are open for reply. DEPARTMENTAL "JIM CROW." In every department of the government the colored citizen is Jim Crowed. There may be probably one exception, the Government Printing Office. There seems to be but few colored girls at present admitted to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, and those who are there have been systematically Jim Crowed. Mr. Shaw, what does this mean? In the Sixth Auditor's office, under your supervision, Mr. Shaw, colored clerks have been Jim Crowed. Will the Secretary find out who is responsible for this wholesale discrimination? Is not the colored citizen a part of this government? If he is not, he wants to know it. The Pension Office is not promoting the colored clerks. Why is this, Mr. Hitchcock? Out of the great batch of promotions made last year not a colored clerk was promoted. What can be expected of the colored voter and citizen? President Roosevelt has often apologized to the South by declaring that he had made less appointments of colored men than the late President McKinley. And this is true. It seems to us that this "lily white" fever has permeated every department of the government with the exception of one and it seems to have the indorsement of the Chief Executive, who is carrying out what he declared some time ago. Colored applicants who are certified by the Civil Service Commission are told that they are not needed when they present themselves to the heads. A few days ago a young colored boy who had been certified to the Pension Office as a messenges was told that the place was filled after he had pre- sented himself to the department. It is useless for any of them to enter the Civil Service examination, because some excuse will be offered when they present themselves to the departments. What does it mean? Is there to be no change? Who is responsible? That is the question Let the colored voter think for himself. LILY WHITE REPUBLICANS There is to be a "lily white" Republican party South. The colored Republicans who heretofore controlled politics in that section of the country will be entirely eliminated. Some time ago The Bee stated that the time would come when the colored people in the South would be forced to look to those who had once enslaved them for protection. That time is fast approaching. The white Republicans who have been kept in power in that section are now willing and ready to eliminate the colored citizen from the political equation. If the "lily white" Republicans think that the Democratic party South has been drawn to the white Republican party they are sadly mistaken. Every administration has catered to the Democratic South. Its own Republican votes have been eliminated to satisfy the prejudiced Democratic element. What has been the result? The South is more solid to-day than she ever was. The nomination of Mr. Bryan will convince Republicans and this administration that nothing will pacify that section but the nomination of a Southern man for President. The rebel flags that were captured in the late civil war and their return will not appease the political thirst of the Southern Democracy. The disfranchisement of colored citizens and lynching them only increase the South's thirst for more blood. The colored man has been separated from the white man South and that doesn't satisfy those who like Shylock demand that pound of flesh. Every inducement has been made to the Southern people, even to the extent of allowing Democratic commissioners to name Democrats for places filled by Republicans. What more will the Republican party offer the South? The colored man has been surrendered to the South and in some States he is being protected against the assaults of the "lily whites." There is but one thing for the colored voter to do. The Democratic party has disfranchised him and the Republican party doesn't want him. He must now seek another party, one that will protect him in his civil and political rights. What party is that? Is there a party now in existence that recognizes equality of citizenship? Notwithstanding the lukewarmness of the Republican party and its indifference toward the colored citizens it now appeals to the Northern colored Republican vote to save the next House of Representatives. Can the next House be saved? Will the colored vote continue to pull chestnuts out of the fire for the Republican party? Let the colored voter think for himself. WHAT CAN WE DO. At the Young People's Congress this morning there will be a discussion of the four principal organizations in this country. The suggestion of The Bee is that the four organizations combine and make one great body. The Young People's Christian Congress, the National Business League, the Afro-American Council and the Niagara Movement—suppose these four organizations were to combine, what could be accomplished among the colored people in this country! There are only two great organizations in this country that are doing any real good work—the Grand United Order of True Reformers, and the St. Lukes. Now these two organizations have a following, a large, strong and legitimate following that will count for something. Mr. Emmett Scott will show this morning the value and importance of the Business League. It is true that the Business League is doing some good and will continue. There is something lacking in the Business League, same as in other organiza- ions. A combination of forces must be made before it can succeed. The Afro-American Council and the Niagara Movement should combine. The Christian Congress and the Business League should unite. Unite business with Christianity and it will enable merchants and money changers to be honest and live honest and upright lives. Let us think. DECEPTIVE ORATORY? Many of the orators of the Christian Congress did not think what they were saying and neither did they care. Many of them tried to see how loud they could shout. Many of them houted for effect and many for aplause and got neither. Many of them were on dress parade. Secretary Bonaparte was very humorous. He said some very good things. He is a politician and he knows the use of words. Mr. Bonaparte hasn't a colored clerk in his office. The last one was the late John H. Brooks, formerly a school trustee. Mr. Bonaparte defended the colored man and declarat that the white man wanted to remain with him. Out of the great number of Maryland appointments recommended by him, he did not recommend a colored Republican. Talk is cheap. Language is deceiving and so are some men. It is a great deal easy you say. Mr. Bonaparte should follow the example of Commissioner West. He does what he says and means what he does. The colored man, Mr. Bonaparte, appreciated your speech. We heard it. It had the ring of sincerity, but your official acts are not in harmony with your speech. We thank you for the part you played in the last campaign in defeating Gorman and his Jim Crow law. Mr. Bonaparte said some very good things that were welcomed by the delegates in ice cream order. 'We print the entire speech because we want it delegates to the Congress to read. Editor The Bee, Washington, D.C. Sir—It is noted in a recent number of your esteemed paper that you ask the question, Why are we (the colored race) Jim Crowed? It is inferred that this question is asked in all sincerity; that you are honestly seeking to learn the TRUTH, the whole TRUTH, and nothing but the TRUTH. Such an earnest seeker after TRUTH should be answered in the same spirit as that which inspired the question. The solution of this weighty problem is like that of many other problems—easy enough when you know how. The reason why you as a race are Jim Crowed is in plain honest English—you smell bad. Unfortunately, the olefactory nerves of the white men are so constructed that close proximity to the black man produces a state of nausea which is distressing and unbearable. Possibly the sense of smell in the black man is not so acute as that of his white brother—we earnestly hope this is the case, and wishing to do the black man justice, we feel that smell him. Mrs. P. F. Tevault and Miss Marci-lite P. Bennett of Hazlehurst, Miss.; are the guests of Mr. and Mrs. J. T. C. Newsom, of 1015 New York avenue. The former is sister to Mrs. Newsom, and the latter, her niece. Both are teachers in Mississippi, and are attending the Congress now being held in this city. Miss Bennett is a graduate of Tougaloo University, Tougaloo, Mjss. They will remain one month. Twould from many an odor free him, We would mildly suggest that a closer attention to the problems as to where he could obtain the most soap for his money, and take the most baths without detriment to his occupation, would result in more lasting good to the colored race than these foolish and vain attempts at an undesired intrusion. It is true the editor asked the question why the colored man is Jim Crowed. This answer undoubtedly comes from one of our white fellow citizens, and while we admit that some colored people smell strong, some white people smell stronger. If the writer will only get close to a white person when he smells indeed and in fact, the odor is sickening and deathlike. The negro has a different odor, that is, those who smell. The writer, if he will investigate will find that smell from some white people will create death quicker than the smell from a colored person. Thanks for your answer; now reflect. Let both races use more soap—Editor. STUDY LAW AT HOME Prepare for success at the bar, in business or public life, by mail, in person or by phone. Founded in 1890, Essential graduate everywhere.

The rabbits had to fight awful odds to live, but they have now outwitted men. They have developed a new nail—a long nail by which they can retain their hold on the fence while climbing. With this same nail, they can burrow under them and thus enter the field that means food and life to them and their little ones. They now, laugh at man. They did not tamely accept their condition, but in their struggle to live, learned to live. We have come to assert that no wall of discrimination or prejudice in this free country, peopleled by earth's noblest citizens, can sink deep enough to keep the negro from digging beneath it: no fence of opposition so high that he can not climb over it. Look at the inspiring leadership of Jesus at Nazareth, who said, "And I, if I belifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto Me." Many of our people have worked very hard to make you feel at home with us Representatives of every church and lodge and school and phase of our city life, without regard to color or denomination, have come to welcome you into the Capital City of earth's greatest nation. I am very highly honored and it is with very.great pleasure that I introduce to you the Honorable Charles J. Bonaparte, Secretary of the Navy, who will welcome us on behalf of the nation. Commissioner West, said: It is peculiarly fitting that a gathering having for its object the improvement of the colored race should be held in the National Capital. Here we preserve among the sacred archives of the government, the immortal document that gave freedom to your race. Here, too, rises the great white dome which typifies liberty in its broadest and wisest sense and which stands for justice to all. And here is the neutral ground where opportunity is afforded you to work out your own salvation under the aegis of federal authority. It is not for me, in this brief address of welcome, to discuss at length the methods by which the results which you so much desire can be obtained. Suffice it to say that the wonder is that in the brief period of one generation the negro race in America has already achieved such commendable progress Realizing this fact, you are entitled to view the future with optimistic eye. It is the purpose of this conference, as I understand it, to seek to further your material and moral development by the interchange of counsel and experience. In this laudable endeavor you have the earnest sympathy and cordial support of all good citizens. You are, I believe, indissolubly linked with the history of this country. Theorists may dream of transplanting you upon some foreign shore, but all practical minds fully realize that you are here to remain forever. This being the case, your development and ours must go hand in hand. As we prosper, so will you advance; but if you fail to ascend you necessarily check the onward march of our civilization. Our future affects your future; and it behooves us just as much to help you as it is incumbent upon you to help yourselves. I am sure that I voice the sentiment of the people of the District of Columbia when I extend to you a hearty welcome and wish that your conference may be characterized by harmony and wisdom and that it may be productive of practical results. My friends-In the little time I shall trespass upon your attention today I propose to speak on a topic which has long been interesting to me and which can hardly fail to have some measure of interest for you also. I refer to the probable future of the negro race in the United States. What part of American civilization will be played by you, or, if Now this peculiarity of enormous advantage.

One of the most elaborate wedding receptions of the season was given by Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Lancaster at their residence, 23 E street, N. W., on Wednesday evening, July 25. The bride of twenty years ago was the centre of attraction of the guests and many compliments were paid her on the general good appearance she made. She was handsomely gowned in white and looked to be twenty years younger than she is and the picture of perfect health. The refreshments were profuse and elegant and were served by Mr. Murray of U street, N. W. The table was beautifully decorated with a profusion of choice cut flowers. The groom of 25 years ago in his neat suit of black presented a fine appearance. Mr. Lancaster was for many years until recently employed at the Freedmen's Hospital. Their daugh- ter, Miss Rosa, came over from New York to be present. Also her son Rudolph. Quite a number of guests prominent in the business and professional world were present, and as the midsummer breeze wafted in the open windows the sweet odor of flowers it added charm to the occasion. In all it was a real swell affair. The bride was the recipient of many presents. The following were among the invited guests: Mr. and Mrs. George Griffith, Dr. John P. Turner, Mr. John T. Turner, Mrs. Lafayette Jefferson and daughter Iola and son, Samuel; Mr. Allen Talbert, Miss Mary Henderson, Miss Mary L. Lee, Miss Bennett Dean, Mrs. R. A.

Moreover in some islands of the neighboring West Indies, where public order is strictly maintained by a strong and enlightened government, but where the white population has almost wholly emigrated or died out, the result has been unsatisfactory, although in a less degree.

Nor is there much difficulty as to the cause of all this. It is an old saying that all sorts of people are needed to make up a world. To cut black people off from white people, whether by law or by natural causes, cuts them off at the same time from the only real source of improvement to themselves. I have spoken of the ingenious theory of scientific men as to why the common rat gets ahead of all others. His wits have been sharpened by having to elude all sorts of devices contrived for his destruction and so, in the course of many generations, he has become a superior animal. I expect the same causes to produce a similar result in you; you cannot afford to be lazy and ignorant and vicious, for all around you, pressing you on every side, is a race with which you have to compete, whether you wish or not, and which it will tax all your energies to struggle against. There is no room in America for people who can't take care of themselves; I am one of those who fell strongly the repeated injustice and frequent perfidy which have marked our treatment of the Indians; but, after all has been said, the Indians wouldn't or couldn't, or, at all events, didn't, learn how to work in competition with white men, and they have been first pushed to the wall and then crushed against it. You must either share their fate or profit by their example. You can't in this country rest and be thankful, for if you try to do this you will soon have nothing to be thankful for. The idle and sensual and benighted are never really free, and America now is a country only for freeman. 一. HONE LIFE OF THE RACE. HOME LIFE OF THE RACE.

SPECIAL PRICES AND ATTENTION TO THE YOUNG PEOPLE'S CHRISTIAN CONGRESS. Rev. I. Toliver is the chairman of its committee. This committee was some what earlier in its duty. This committee selected places that should have been let alone. Music. Dr. W. H. Connor deserves special mention. His part of the program was faultless. He carried out just what he published in The Bee several weeks ago. Dr. Connor is a valuable man. The work done by this committee should be highly commended. DR. W. S. RICHARDS One of the most enterprising the Southwest is Dr. Richards gist, 316 Four and a-half stree indeed the largest drug store section. He is a man highly by the people and his patrons of his fairness and liberality poor. His drugs are fresh and fountain is the largest in that the city.

THE MAJESTIC THEATRE Quite the most pretentious aggregation of colored performers eevr on tour will be seen with the "Dandy Dixie Minstrels," which open the season of Majestic Theater to-night. Besides John Rucker, the Alabama Blossom, whose inimitable monologue and parodies entrained thousands of theater goers on the New York Roof Garden last summer, the Dandy Divee Minstrels offer an olio of specially engaged novelties, a first part of stunning spectacular effects, an afterpiece of furiously funny farce—"A Fowl Deed"—and the famous Matchless Minstrel Musicians, "The Cotton Pickers' Band." Traveling in their $20,000 Pullman Palace car, "The Dandy," this magnanimous melange of minstrelsy will tour the world, after visiting every important city of the United States and Canada from August 6, 1906, until June 10, 1907. Among the all star performers besides "The Alabama Blossom," are James Crosby, the elongated comedian, 6 feet 6 inches, with dancing muscle from tow to crown, Three Spiller Musical Bumpers, Williams and Stevens, Comis Impersonators; Toney Trio, Dare Devil Arobats; Mack Allen, Death Defying Slender Steel Thread Diver; John Prompin, comedy juggler; Berry Jones, "The Texas Teaser"; H. S. Wooten, "The Indian Territory Tenor," and 40 other headline singers, dancers and merry, merry minstrel men. Commencing with the Dandy Dixie Minstrel engagement at the Majestic, colored patrons will be admitted to all pars of he house. DR. W. S. RICHARDSON. One of the most enterprising men in the Southwest is Dr. Richardson, druggist, 316 Four and a-half street. It is indeed the largest drug store in that section. He is a man highly respected by the people and his patrons on account of his fairness and liberality to the poor. His drugs are fresh and his soda fountain is the largest in that part of the city. The members of the Christian Congress should call and see their friend, the man who knows no one by the color of his skin. This drug store is no doubt the oldest in the Southwest. The Bee is confident that no man tries to please and accommodate his patrons more than Dr. Richardson. Every member of the J. H. DR. W. S. RICHARDSON. A-Leading South Washington Druggist, Whose Doors Are Open to the Delegates. Christian Congress is invited to pay him a call. He is a friend to fallen humanity and believes in equality of citizenship.

The Washington Bee, after a most clever review of Secretary Taft's speech in Greensboro, N. C., characterizes it a failure, so far as catching the negroes, for his Presidential boom, and asserts that some other method will have to be adopted to secure the colored brother's vote to the next Republican convention. Doubtless Mr. Taft is aware of the fact. He knows a hook baited with silver will do the work. Well, it will be better for the colored toter to receive silver than promises. Silver in hand is better than future promises. See! Lexington, Ky., July 30—The United Brothers of Friendship and Sisters of the Mysterious Ten opened an international triennial convention here today and will continue in session five days.

Warden of Missouri Penitentiary at Jefferson City Getting Returns from Experiment — Improvement in Health of Men. Jefferson City, Mo.—Warden Matt W. Hall, of the Missouri penitentiary, is a gardener on quite an extensive scale. This year he has devoted a part of the state farm, located just east of the prison, to "garden track," and is just beginning to realize some of the results that follow careful and intelligent tilling of the soil, in the way of palatable and healthy additions to the prison mean, and at a minimum of expense to the state. The farm is in charge of John Bruner, who works several conficts in caring for the place. Just now the "snap bean" crop is in full bearing. The bean patch covers several acres of ground, and the crop on the state farm is unusually prolific. The soil on top of the hill seems to be especially adapted to the bean, and there will be several "messes" for all hands in the warden's family of 2,549 persons. Some idea of what it takes to go round in the prison is gained when it is known that it requires 70 bushels of snap beans for one meal. Recently that amount of beans was turned over to the prison kitchen, and it required all of it to give each contient all the beans, he could eat. Several hundred pounds of bacon were required to cook them properly and give the right flavor. Radishes were grown in great quantities earlier in the season, and onions have been served several times from the farm. There is a great quantity of the onions still in the ground. This healthful, if somewhat odoriferous, vegetable is eagerly welcomed by the convicts as, in fact, is all the garden trot. "John," said Mr. Hall, to Bruner, the man in charge of the farm, "we must have a little slaw for the Fourth of July dinner. How many heads of cabbage can you let Bowen have for that day." "About 1,100 or 1,500 heads," was the reply. These cabbages will average perhaps two pounds to the head, so it will be observed that several thousand pounds of raw material enters into the problem of providing the prison population with the one item of a little cold slaw for their holiday dinner. The cabbage patch on the state farm includes 16,000 growing plants, and the crop is flourishing, but big as the patch is a few rounds of cold slaw" will make heavy throads on it. There are several acres of potatoes, a roasting ear patch of two or three acres, but the crowning glory of the big garden is the tomato field, where there are 13,000 or 14,000 flourishing plants growing that give promise of a great yield of this most delightful of all vegetables. Some of the vines are loaded with tomatoes that will be ready for use in a few weeks, while others have just reached the blooming stage. If nothing happens to injure the vines there will be an abundance of this crop, for the vines will continue to produce until frost kills them. Warden Hall and Mr. Bruner figure that after the season is over they will have uripe tomatoes enough on hand when the frost comes to make several hogheads of chochow. It is worth a trip to the state farm to see the gardening on a large scale that Warden Hall has inaugurated. His theory is that whatever expense is involved in growing the vegetables for use of the convicts is more than offset by the diminution of the sick list. The land has deteriorated somewhat during the last few years, when it was leased by the state to private individuals, and Mr. Hall will by systematic effort seek to build it up and restore it to a high degree of productivity. To this end much of it will be sown in cowpeas this summer, and this will be turned under early in the fall. HERE'S A NEW HOLDUP GAME "Dead Man" in Road Comes to Life. Robs Autoists, and Then Takes Machine. Phoenixville, Pa.—A party of four Philadelphiaians, two women and two men, who left Philadelphia the other morning for an automobile jaunt through the Perkfomen valley, were skimming along when the chauffeur discovered a dark object lying in the middle of the road that resembled a man. The machine was stopped, the men alighted from the auto and were about to make an examination when, the "dead one" jumped to his feet, and drawing a revolver ordered the inquisitive autolists to throw up their hands. Another roughly clad man emerged from the woods and joined the hold-up. All of the part were then re-livered of their valuables, which included $94 in money, three gold watches, several diamond rings and a pair of diamond earrings which one of the women was compelled to remove from her ears. The women were then forced to vacate the machine and the highwaymen took their places on the front seat. About two miles from where the hold-up occurred the automobilists found their machine at the bottom of Perkium creek. Not I: The Trust PURITY ICE CO. L St. near K St. Market N. W.

FIFTH and G Streets N. W. Washington, D. C. "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 'electrobus' (under protest, as a newspaper word), although the final syllable of the Latin participle 'ecetna', borrowed from 'execute', is as meaningless as the final syllable lopped from 'manibus'. Even before that 'electroler' had forced its way in, with its barbarous 'tier' from 'chandeller', in which the T belongs to the candle part of the word. These 'electro' violeences to language seem to be inevitable, though 'electro' itself means only amber and should, strictly, be 'electrico' in such compounds.

Ingenuity of New Jersey Farmers Overcomes the Anayance of Sketching. New York.—A New Jersey farmer has developed a breed of hess that ought to prove popular. For a number of years he had been annoyed by a neighbor's hess scratching in his garden, so he set about deviling a strain of hess 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 mismatched 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 Builders 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 ball of the telephone in my private house at time. "Ringer—Are you 8000 Kenstagton! "Receiver—Yes. "Ringer—Is Mrs. B—at home? "Receiver—She is. Who shall I say wants her? "Ringer—I am 80-and-so, a dealer in— "Receiver—A what? "Ringer—A dealer in— Kindly tell Mrs.— that I am taking this means of conveying 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 conveying becomes popular. "The fact that the social hour of five o'clock, at which hour Mrs. B. was entertaining callers, was selected by the dealer for her venture, did not indicate that she posed a danger."

Harmony Department, No. 71, most Deserted by Mate, He Eats on Eggs and Is Now Taking Care of Four Little Ones. Los Angeles, "Cal—Probably the most domesticated rooster in Los Angeles is "Ben," the bastian pet of Mrs. H. D. Becker, of Corona street, which has set on a nest of four eggs for the last three weeks and is now yearling four little chicks with the care of an old and experienced mother. When "Betsy," which for two years was Ben's mate, deserved her nearly a month ago and abandoned a nest full of eggs, the grief-striken rooster took the cribs in his domestic happiness in a stolical manner. Instead of pleading with Betty to return to him or going away in some dark corner to commit suicide, he immediately took possession of the abandoned nest. The happiest moment of Ben's life came the other morning, when his long wait was rewarded with a tiny peep and a sunny yellow head thrust from one of the bursting shells. Between clucks of affection for the new comer and crowds of delight at his final success, Ben announced the event to the members of the Breaker barnyard. Before noon he had a family of foxes, and as he stepped proudly from his little crop into the bright nightlight of the chicken yard he was the most self-centered fowl for miles around. In his very first walk he met his former mate, but there was no sign of recognition as they passed. The father gave a low cluck as if to warn his children against mingling with the mother who had deserved them and him in their time of need. What he will do with the chicks now that he has hatched them out is the question that is being asked by the Becker family among themselves, but from the manner in which he watched over his little charges the question is already half answered. WEARS RED TIE: IS JAILED. Schoolboy Punished at Leipzig. Germany, for Appearing with Forbidden Color. Berlin-To those who may travel in Germany in the near future it will be well to remember that there is an existence a law passed in 1849 against the wearing of red ties, etc. This law covers all sorts of clothes of a red hue, including socks A youth at a school in Leipzig wore a red tie when he answered his name as roll call, and the teacher ordered him to take it off instantly. He refused, for his little sweetheart had given it to him for a birthday present. A conclave of teachers was held, and the boy was again ordered to take off the tie. On again refusing a policeman was summoned and the boy marched to jail. The tie was confiscated. The boy was indicted under the old law for wearing republican colors calculated to offend loyal subjects and inclue to a breach of the peace. The judge, however, acquitted the boy, but ordered the red tie destroyed and cannoned the prisoner not to repeat the offense. Removal of Famous Structure Is Demanded on Aesthetic Grounds by Reformers Paris.—An immense nail disgracefully transfixing the sky, is the effective description of the Eiffel tower with which a band of aesthetics has started a crusade against the offending structure. The aesthetics have, consecrated themselves to preserving and increasing the beauty of Paris and cry loudly for the destruction of the ridiculous eyesore as their first effort in that direction. The inventor, Eiffel, has a contract with the city allowing him to exploit the tower until 1910, but he may be bought out cheaply, for since the novelty has worn off the thing scarcely brings more than running expenses. Its value even as a center of commerce has fallen off, and the shops in the air as the establishments on its second tier are called, by no means do a thriving business. FUEL TO REPLACE COAL Daniel Drawbaugh. Opponent of Bell. Announces New Discovery Said to Be Cheaper. Carlisle, Pa—The aged Daniel Drawbaugh. whose litigations in the federal courts many years ago against Alexander Bell made him known as the prior inventor of the telephone, and who has been turning out wizard-like inventions at Eberly's Mills for the last 25 years, has announced that with the aid of Dr. B. E. Gamble he has discovered a practical fuel to take the place of coal. This new fuel is being manufactured now at Bowmansdale, east of Carlisle, by a secret process. It is composed of chemicals and of fibrous matter, and weighs only half as much as coal. The new fuel will be made in different sized molds. Tests made show that it does not sinker. burns to a fine ash, emits little gas and burns freely, gives off more heat than coal and lasts longer. This artificial fuel probably will cost about half as much as coal. Quits Law to Herd Cows. Quits Law to Herd Cows. Seattle, Wash.-E.

Twenty-third Street is the most popular terminal of the great metropolis because of its convenience to the hotel, theatre and shopping district. In the recent remodeling of the terminal building a pass to few canopy was constructed fifty wide, under which the two town cars of the 14th, 23rd, 28th and both Street lines pass, so that passengers are protected from the weather leaving the ferry house, and also avoid the advance of street traffic. baggage destined to New York will be delivered to 23rd Street unrestrictly marked "Liberty Street," or otherwise. complete electric cab service has been established for the transporta- tion passengers and baggage at very low rates.

To live a clean life in thought and word as well as in deed. Teach him that true manliness always commands success. That to command he must first learn to obey.

Twas thus the poets pictured how our life Was portioned by these gods 'twixt joy and tears. How part was given to peace and part to strike. How marked and checked and limited by years. The Persians gathered strong, from all their land, To check the growing pride of mighty Greece! Their gathering was vain; they met a band. Which hade them halt; and conquered, sue for peace. The severed Grecian states together came. United various projects into one: Putting her separate interests to shame, Greece stands today, in learning's sky a sum. The Moslems marched with crescent and with sword, To stamp their faith on each opposing state, Overran the world to propagate their word And died a willing victim to their fate. Thus they gathered sweeping all before, 'Till the whole Christian world grew faint with fear: Then France gathered; the Moslems slent in gore. Nor eer again such conquest doth he dare.

Grogan Between H and I Streets. To live, to hate and on each other glower. Yet immortal imps, at Apollo's call, Who frothing wrath, still, at high heaven, hurled, Gathered, swift, in Pandemonium's hail And lay deep plans to overcome the world. Lies, woes and murder follow in their train, And all the dreadful ills they can invent. Of bondage, exile or great mental pain Or aught else which will perfect their intent. How well they've wrought, how fared the hellish plan. Let man's long line of suffering attest! United in their effort, they move as though one man; In hell, the strength of UNION stands confessed. Adown the years, where nebulous grows the view. And mankind's acts grow hazy to the eye. We see the nations meet, their path to hew. To lofty heights, which all before them lie. Though stumbling, oft, they climb nor yield to grief; And thus their effort makes for them a name. Of such a conclave as meets here today, Not even before the "Iron City" fell, And conquering heroes filled the Appian Way. For here are gathered from all the broad For here are gathered from all the broad land, From hill and wayside, where e'er Freeemen dwell, To portray how they struggle, how they stand And how by God's help they are doing well.
